Chapter 19: IPhone

An Jinzhong never paid attention to Jiang He again after that. What Jiang He said was correct. He indeed met his wife yesterdayor, to be more precise, his ex-wifeand things did not go well. He left the police station alone and gazed up at the stars, rather than asking Jiang He how he knew about it.

With An Jinzhongs departure, Jiang He was the only one left in the room.

Jiang He could certainly see that.

An Jinzhong wasnt at work and it was after four in the morning, nevertheless, he was well-dressed and wore a watch. More importantly, his shirt had been washed and was wrinkle-free.

It was easy for Jiang He to tell that An Jinzhong was still sleeping, but when he heard about the case, he picked up the clothes by the bed and put them on.

Had An Jinzhong wasnt meeting prominent figures, he wouldnt have shaved his beard.

Jiang He speculated that An Jinzhong had gone to see his ex-wife, but it was easy to predict the outcome this time since he noticed a lot of wear and tear on An Jinzhongs leather shoes fronts. This was unusual for a newcomer, and Jiang He assumed An Jinzhong kicked it himself.

Nonetheless, it wasnt this issue that perplexed Jiang He; rather, it was what An Jinzhong said; Jiang He himself didnt know what he had done wrong. He was acutely susceptible to this remark since, over the course of his 30-year life, other individuals had almost exclusively used such a phrase to address him.

While Jiang He had always wanted to figure out what they mean by that, he failed to do so. He likewise observed the stars as he peered out the window.

Wang Chao arrived at the police station around five oclock with two police officers.

Ol An? An Jinzhong was standing outside the police station with a dejected expression when Wang Chao approached him and asked, Whats wrong?

Its nothing, An Jinzhong said when he caught sight of Wang Chao. Its just the situation at home. Jiang He is in the interrogation room. Please take him away.

Who the hell is Jiang He? said Wang Chao as he handed An Jinzhong a cigarette. Isnt he a cop from your station?

No, he isnt. I only met him three days ago, An Jinzhong said as he lit a cigarette. He was fighting with a pig when I spotted him.

About Jiang He Youll have to find out who he is once the case is over. Wang Chao was taken aback.

Jiang He and Luo Jinbao were both escorted to the main branch.

Li Weiyi is undoubtedly not the murderer, Jiang He stated emphatically. I had been waiting for this person at Li Weiyis house for three days. Im not sure if you noticed something. On the wall close to Li Weiyis front door, there is some inconspicuous small graffiti. I discovered the meaning of these graffiti through observation and comparison.

Wang Chao shook his head at Jiang He, who was speaking eloquently: I truly didnt notice that.

When I went upstairs, I noticed these symbols at the doors of other peoples houses, Jiang He explained, so I dont think these symbols are without significance. Consequently, I went to the security captain and requested the list of stolen items. Sure enough, I saw the same symbols on these peoples walls.

Having said that, Jiang He withdrew a piece of paper with various symbols inscribed on it from his pocket. By comparing the symbols, it is simple to discover that the walls of the houses where theft has transpired bear an X symbol. Jiang He explained one by one.Im almost positive this is a sign of the thiefs success. A circle indicates committing theft in this family is possible, a horizontal bar indicates that there is only one person in the family, and so on. There is an X in a circle, which indicates that initiating robbery in this family will be challenging, and a vertical bar indicates that it is impossible.

As a result, when Jiang He threw this book in front of Luo Jinbao, he confessed.

I really didnt expect the police to treat people as lovers, Luo Jinbao said.

People were sociable creatures, therefore it was simple for them to establish their own circles, and thieves were often the same. It was simple for one thief to track down another. When these thieves banded together, a set of industry rules emerged.

According to Xu Yimans autopsy report, He Huijuan died at quarter past eleven.

Because He Huijuan died suddenly, the autopsy results were almost minutely accurate.

In other words, what Luo Jinbao witnessed would have been just a dead woman if it werent for Xu Yimans autopsy report.

Jiang He was 98% certain that Xu Yimans autopsy report was correct.

Did you happen to see the hostess He Huijuan? Jiang He inquired, word by word.

He Huijuan was still asleep when I entered her house. Whats the matter? Luo Jinbao said to Jiang He.

State it abundantly clear. Wang Chao, too, figured something was wrong and inquired.

Luo Jinbao remarked slightly impatiently, I saw her, she was still sleeping on the bed when I went in. Do you officers not understand what sleep is? Just close your eyes and sleep with a quilt over your head.

You think I did that, right? Despite her attractive appearance and incredibly white skin, Im not that type of person

Was she wrapped in a quilt? Jiang He asked.

Thats right. Luo Jinbao spoke up.

To what extent was she covered? Jiang He persisted in his inquiry.

Neck. Luo Jinbao replied.

This was a major issue. Both of their doubts were entirely allayed by Luo Jinbaos revelation. Li Weiyi was the first. Although the information provided by Li Weiyi was accurate, he was able to answer firmly since he had previously seen two corpses and could plainly determine where the wounds were.

However, Li Weiyi was lying blatantly. Li Weiyi was not the murderer, judging by the fact that he did not take out the Apple phone. Furthermore, Li Weiyi would have noticed Wu Guifeng when he entered the room should Wu Guifeng have been the murderer.

So, will the murderer be Luo Jinbao in his presence?

The probability of the murderer returning to the crime scene after the murder was one percent, whereas the probability of the murderer returning to steal after the murder was currently zero, according to Jiang Hes summary of the information received.

Most murderers naturally flee as far as they can after their crime and would never return.

Wang Chao and Jiang He exchanged glances.

Didnt you see the blood? said Wang Chao.

Blood? Luo Jinbao displayed his bewilderment.

Wang Chao cleared his throat and said, Well, now we suspect you are involved in a murder case, so get ready.

Me? I kill people? said Luo Jinbao, pointing to himself. So Luo Jinbao heard the unsettling news that the He Huijuan he had seen at the time was already deceased.
