Multiple Sins

Xiao He looked at the few houses on the side and asked Ning Ruonan:

"Have you asked the families downstairs about it yet?"

"A few of them have asked about it. They were bullied by Liu Xiang and are unwilling to accept any interviews."

"Why? Wouldn't that make them want to count his crimes more? "

"We don't know. But those people immediately thanked the customers. "

"So the question is, we might need to know why these people are avoiding the police."

"But now they don't seem to even know how to open the door."

"That's why Captain Peng and I only found him. Even if we found out later that there was a distant relationship between them, we still wouldn't be able to get more objective testimony from other neighbors."

They started down the stairs.

"Actually, I always had a question," Xiao He said in a low voice.

"Logically speaking, after Liu Nianqi's death, every family member in charge of handling the case would also inquire about the situation. "But our file doesn't show anything."

"Is it possible that this record has been set aside by someone? After that, all the neighbors were intimidated last time, so they didn't dare to accept the police anymore? "

"You mean, Liu Xiang?"

"No, if Liu Xiang really did destroy the record of his visit, then he must have been detained for harming the public, and the ones who came to scare the neighbors should be his followers."

"That makes sense. "Then should we now explain the situation?"

"I feel that this kind of deterrence is definitely not that simple. Liu Xiang definitely hit someone when he destroyed the record."

"Therefore, no one wants to meddle in other people's business and bring the fire upon themselves." Ning Ruonan also began to understand the nature of this matter.

When they reached the bottom of the stairs, Ning Ruonan looked a little troubled.

"But now we can't spread the news that fast and upset the people. Our superiors will not allow us to do so. "

When Xiao He heard this, he was struck dumb. His tone suddenly became agitated. "But even the neighbors don't know. How did Liu Min know that Liu Xiang died?"

Hearing this, Ning Ruonan was also startled, "Yeah, why didn't Captain Peng and I think of that yesterday?"

"Let's go back to the station."

The case analysis meeting was held again, and this time the blame was directed at Liu Mimizhi.

Xiao He flipped through the questions that Ruonan had written down.

"I think one thing is very suspicious. That is, he seems to know a lot about the private lives of Liu and his wife. I don't think that's the amount of information you can get just by running into one at a drugstore. "

"I feel the same. When I heard it before, I felt that this piece was very suspicious." Ning Ruonan followed up with an analysis and said:

"Even if you've talked to Liu Nianqi before, you can't get any of these points of view from him. If you have to do something about it, then that's what the victim would say."

"You mean Yang Xue?" Xiao He also felt that this was a reasonable place.

"That's right." Ning Ruonan's eyes were determined like never before.

"Perhaps it's due to a woman's intuition, I keep having the feeling that these words came from Yang Xue's own mouth."

"If that's the case, then what is the relationship between Liu Mi and Yang Xue?"

"I don't know. The main thing is that I can't jump to conclusions." Xiao He was still a bit hesitant.

"Even if there is a relationship between the two of them, it might not necessarily be related to this case."

"But I can't give up on this line. What if it works?" Jiang Han opened his mouth and said:

"Moreover, there is no risk in continuing the investigation only on this route."

Originally she thought that the meeting would end like this, but now she started to speak again:

"Everyone, please wait a moment …" I think there's something wrong here. " She rested her chin on her hand and said with a frown:

"I think Liu might have lied. There was someone in the back seat at the scene of the accident."

"Do you still want to talk about Yang Xue?" Xiao He looked at her with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"Yes."

Xiao He quickly told the police, "Xiao Mi, go to the traffic squad and transfer the files of the accident that happened to Liu Mimi. "Let's go now!"

"Alright." Saying that, he left the office.

Thus, the top and bottom of the homicide squad seemed to have returned to their normal state of mind.

A few hours later, Xiaomi returned to the office with the typed documents.

Ning Ruonan held her breath and took it carefully. The things inside didn't disappoint her after all.

One of the documents was clearly written: A woman named Yang Xue was carried on the back seat.

With the camera attached, there was indeed a woman in the back seat.

This, then, shows that Liu was lying.

As for why he lied, it was probably the breakthrough in this case.

"He must be trying to hide something." Ning Ruonan said to herself.

"Does he want to hide the relationship? Or was it because of Yang Xue that he did not want others to know about the aftermath of this incident? "

"Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that what he wanted to hide is some of the things he did because of this relationship." At this moment, Ning Ruonan's subjective consciousness was in the upper hand, she had the feeling that the person who killed Liu Nianqi was most likely Liu Mimi.

"But you have to be realistic, Rhonan," Xiao He reminded her. "The accident happened before that, and even if he had a motive, he wouldn't have been able to do it."

Only now did Ning Ruonan realize the shortage of her own thoughts.

"It's time to look at the case file again. Aside from the autopsy report, there are traces of the scene. The evidence has been extracted, but there is nothing to be gained from it." The rain that night left no trace, but the autopsy report did give us some insight. " Xiao He proposed to look at the file again, and Peng Wenyin agreed.

"Look, this is the picture of the corpse. According to the autopsy report, Liu Nianqi was cut from the back of his head with a sharp knife. His intracranial tissue was severely damaged and he lost too much blood and died." Due to the strict confidentiality of the file, Xiao He placed the only printout of the file on the projection for everyone to see.

"Moreover, after this fatal injury, there are many heavy blows. So it is not passion that is responsible for the crime, it is murder. "

"There is also a detail about the analysis of the wound's section. According to the autopsy report, from the point of view of strength and the blade, the lethal wound was caused by a vertical downward slash of the sharp instrument, not by a frontal blow. " Xiao He was silent for a while as he spoke.

He thought to himself, "It's a good thing that there's a medical examiner like Yuan Jiang in our department."
