Chapter 22：

"In 2015, I fell in love with Sun Xingxue, a well-known figure in this city. In the same year, I dropped out of school and got married."

"In 2018, Ling Xiu sued the court for divorce. After winning the case, the child was awarded to the mother. At the end of the year, she met her current husband, Shang Lihui, and the two got married in mid-2019."

"This is Ling Xiu's basic information and experience."

After saying this, the screen changed, and the picture was the scene of the crime.

Luo Bixin looked at the screen and said, "According to the on-site investigation, the door of the hotel room was not damaged, and the spare room card was not lost, so how did the murderer get in?"

"Following."

As soon as Luo Bixin finished speaking, Fang Ze followed suit.

Hearing this, everyone who was still thinking nodded in unison, agreeing with Fang Ze's judgment.

At present, it seems that there is only one possibility.

Luo Bixin has long been used to Fang Ze's quick thinking, nodded and said: "That's right, I think so too."

"Now let's restore the general history of the incident."

Luo Bixin put down the remote control, turned around, gently supported the table with both hands, and said, "The murderer entered the Tianju Hotel at 12:23, and followed Ling Xiu to 3002 after she left the KTV private room."

"Since Ling Xiu wasn't vigilant at the time, it means that the murderer's attire was very ordinary, at least he didn't attract Ling Xiu's attention."

"After Ling Xiu used the room card to open the door and entered, the murderer rushed in, committed the murder, and took away all the belongings of the deceased."

"At 2:50, the murderer left Tianju Hotel."

Having said that, the others didn't respond, they were all thinking.

Instead, Fang Ze interrupted: "Wait a minute for the team, how is the time determined? Surveillance captured the murderer? Can you confirm the identity?"

During the few hours when he was drinking with Gan Tong, the team actually knew the exact time when the murderer entered and exited the hotel.

It seems that he should have checked all the surveillance cameras and found the murderer in the surveillance.

Luo Bixin nodded and said, "Xiaobai and the others have checked the surveillance, and he is the most suspicious person."

After finishing speaking, Luo Bixin picked up the remote control and called up a screenshot of the monitoring screen.

"This person can almost be identified as the murderer."

Fang Ze looked up.

In the picture is a young man with a height of 180cm and a weight between 130-150. He is dressed in gray casual clothes, wearing a baseball cap and a mask, and his face cannot be seen clearly.

These are two pictures, respectively showing the man entering and leaving the Tianju Hotel.

The time is 12:23 and 2:50.

Not only did he act suspiciously, but the time was also right.

Luo Bixin continued: "Lingxiu's relationship circle is very simple. Apart from her classmates, she is her husband and children. These people all have sufficient alibi."

"So I think it's very likely that this was a murder case with a premeditated plan."

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the people had no opinion.

Judging from the current preliminary situation, this possibility is extremely high, almost certain.

"Murder for money?"

Fang Ze frowned, and said in surprise, "For a mere 50,000 yuan, kill a person?"

This price is too high, maybe five million.

Luo Bixin looked at Fang Ze and said, "Team Fang thinks it's impossible?"

"We have already asked Shang Lihui. They just took the 50,000 yuan today. It is easy to be targeted by people with ulterior motives."

Fang Ze scratched his head and said, "If it's just for money, just rush into the room and **** it away. Why kill people?"

Chapter 40 Investigate

Facing Fang Ze's question, Luo Bixin said: "According to the investigation, Monk Ling Xiu and Shang Lihui don't have much savings, 50,000 yuan is already a lot for them."

"In Lingxiu's first marriage, she didn't get any property. At most, there was only monthly child support."

"Then the 50,000 yuan is very important to Ling Xiu. If others want to grab it, she won't give in easily."

"What does Team Fang think?"

Fang Ze was silent.

He understood what Luo Bixin meant. The murderer might have wanted to steal money, but Ling Xiu resisted to the death and was forced to kill someone in desperation.

Without evidence, this possibility cannot be ruled out.

Ding Chunqiu looked at Fang Ze who seemed to have a different opinion, and said, "Team Fang, do you think the case is not that simple?"

After the words fell, everyone looked at Fang Ze.

Putting Fang Ze's reputation aside, the detection of the last disappearance case has already convinced everyone.

His opinion is very important.

Fang Ze said: "Although I didn't participate in the autopsy, I can tell at a glance that the deceased has lost the ability to resist after being stabbed in the chest. That's right, Teacher Mingchuan?"

On the other side, Ming Chuan, who had been silent all this time, nodded and said, "That's right, the deceased did not have the ability to resist after being stabbed for the first time."

Fang Ze continued: "Since the deceased had already lost the ability to resist, why did the murderer stab the deceased three times in a row? This is very strange."

"More importantly, when the deceased was already dead, instead of taking the money and leaving immediately, the murderer wasted his time and left such a strange wound on the deceased's face. Why? Are you idle?"

Everyone thought about it.

What Fang Ze said is indeed a big doubt.

It's nothing more than making up the knife, it can be explained by killing the mouth.

But the wound on the face of the deceased made everyone puzzled, it was extremely weird.

"Fang team means..." Ding Chunqiu's expression froze.

Fang Ze said: "I think this is a deliberate murder case, and what the murderer wants is Ling Xiu's life!"

After being analyzed by Fang Ze, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, as if the case was becoming more and more complicated.

Is the murderer out for money or for life?

Right now, it's all just speculation, without any evidence to support it.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that they are all possible, but at the same time, they all have doubts.

Luo Bixin said: "Fang team, if it's a deliberate murder, there must be a motive, right?"

"We have checked all the people related to Ling Xiu, and they are not suspected."

Fang Ze also felt a little strange about this.

But right now, it's just guesswork. As long as the murderer is caught, everything will be revealed.

So, which direction should we start the investigation at this moment?

At this point, everyone looked at Luo Bixin and Fang Ze, waiting for their orders.

Let the two decide who is the main one.

They won't get involved in this kind of thing.

Luo Bixin also knew that it was useless to think too much now, and he had to track down the whereabouts of the murderer as soon as possible, otherwise, the other party might leave Penghai.

It will be difficult to find it again.

"Fang team, please arrange the next work."

Looking at the slightly lazy Fang Ze, Luo Bixin said.

"Huh? It's me again?"

Fang Ze was originally thinking about things there, but when he heard the words, he felt helpless, sat up straight and said, "Well, let's expand the scope of monitoring first. After the murderer leaves Tianju Hotel, there is a high possibility that he will take a taxi and leave. Check carefully."

"In addition, go to Tianju Hotel again, find the person in charge and the waiter at that time, and ask if there are any strange things happening before and after the incident."

"These two things must be completed before noon tomorrow, Team Ding, I'll leave it to you."

Ding Chunqiu nodded: "Don't worry, there's no problem."

"Captain Luo, please go talk to Shang Lihui again, and a few classmates including my college roommate Quan Ning."

"When they ate and sang, if there was anything unusual during the period, don't miss any clues."

"Okay." Luo Bixin nodded.

Afterwards, Fang Ze stood up and said, "I'm going to conduct another comprehensive autopsy."

After saying that, Ming Chuan and Huang Xiaorong both looked over.

"You want to conduct an autopsy yourself?" Luo Bixin was taken aback, and said: "The cause of death has been clarified, and another autopsy should not yield much."

Fang Ze understood this, but in order to reassure himself, he still said, "Let's have a look again."

Seeing that Fang Ze persisted, Luo Bixin didn't say much, nodded and said, "That's fine."

Afterwards, she looked at everyone: "Let's go get busy. Everyone has worked hard these few days. After all, the murder happened in Tianju Hotel. The impact is not good. The news has probably spread by now. We must solve the case as soon as possible."

"no problem."

"Don't worry, Team Luo."

After making some promises, everyone started the work at hand.

And Fang Ze went to the forensic examination room with Ming Chuan and others.

Chapter 41 New Discovery

In the forensic identification room.

Fang Ze put on his clothes and gloves, and came to Ling Xiu's body.

The rigor had already begun to spread, and the coagulated blood began to make the corpse a bit black.

In another hour or two, Ling Xiu's body will become completely cold. This is also the process of change within eight hours after a person dies.

"Fang team, is there any doubt about the corpse?"

Beside him, Ming Chuan asked.

For this kind of homicide caused by a sharp weapon, the autopsy process is not difficult, and there is nothing unusual about it.

Ming Chuan has handled many such cases and has rich experience.

Huang Xiaorong also came over with an attitude of learning.

Both Fang Ze and Ming Chuan are celebrities in the Bureau, and the latter is also his teacher.

These two people should not miss the body test together, maybe they can learn a lot of new knowledge and methods.

Fang Ze said, "It's not that the corpse is suspicious, it's just that the investigation has just started and there are very few clues."

"The murderer did not leave any traces at the scene. If new discoveries can be made from the corpse, it will be considered a windfall."

From Fang Ze's words, it seems that he wants to try his luck.

Hearing this, Ming Chuan nodded, expressing his understanding of Fang Ze's meaning and purpose.

This is how to solve a case. Some things that have been overlooked in the past are likely to become the key points in the detection of the case.

Fang Ze put on a mask, bent down and carefully examined the wounds on the corpse's face.

The wound was neat and symmetrical. It can be seen that the murder weapon was very sharp, and it was done on purpose by the murderer. It was no accident.

This is also what puzzled Ming Chuan.

Such an approach is like a symbol of a serial killer.

After committing the crime, the murderers of most serial murders will leave specific marks, like demonstrations, to show off their achievements.

The current case is very similar.
