Genius Detective - Chapter 74

Chapter 74: 74

Peng Sijue sat down as if he was deflated . The scene was so quiet that it was a bit awkward . Lin Dongxue asked, "Captain Peng, you said there are new discoveries . . . "

Peng Sijue threw a printed piece of paper on the table and said calmly . "The cause of death was found out . The deceased died of heart failure, and the time of death has to be pushed forward about six to twelve hours . "

Lin Dongxue took a look and said, "Thank you, this discovery is very important . "

Peng Sijue waved his hand and asked them to leave . The two left the department and Lin Dongxue scolded Xu Xiaodong . "Why did you mention such random nonsense to him?"

Xu Xiaodong gave an innocent look . "How would I know that Captain Peng’s reaction would be so intense . . . Perhaps the protagonist of this story is someone he knows?”

"Why don’t you ask him yourself?!"

Xu Xiaodong shook his head desperately . "I don't want to commit another taboo . "

The task force went all out in investigating the criminal suspect Wu Hao . Three days later, Lin Qiupu brought everyone together and summarized the information on hand .

The police officers in charge of investigating the background of the Wu Brothers reported, "The parents of the Wu brothers died early . According to their relatives, the two brothers have had a mediocre relationship with each other since young . Their parents obviously prefer the clever and good second child . The older child would often be filled with envy . The two often fought over the tiniest of things . The older brother later came to work in the city while the second child was still in school . When their parents died, it was the older brother who organized the funeral . Because there wasn’t a will, he sold the house property and agreed that when it was time for his younger brother to marry someone, he would give him his portion . However, the older brother did not fulfil his promise, and the money was spent all by himself . The second child later got a girlfriend and asked his brother for money . His brother couldn’t give him any after spending it all . The two got into a fierce argument . Many relatives tried mediating for the two . Under the mediation of the relatives, the older brother agreed to his younger brother living in his house for the meantime . He mentioned that he would slowly earn money to pay for his brother’s house in the future . However, he kept postponing this, so the younger brother’s girlfriend eventually left him after constantly arguing about the matter . Due to this, the younger brother’s stomach should be full of fire . "

The police officer in charge of investigating the evidence of Wu Hao and his sister-in-law, Xiuying’s affair reported, "Captain Lin, we haven't made much progress here . Pan Xiuying and 'Ximen Qing' have been real passionate with each other . How can we ask about her having a relationship with another man? But we were able to find something . When it comes to one thing, 'Ximen Qing' has a membership card at the gym Wu Hao works at . He’s left his personal information down at the gym, so the two are likely to know each other through Wu Hao . "

Lin Qiupu reassured them of their lack of progress and findings . "It doesn't matter if you investigate it slowly . As long as you don’t let them know that we suspect them . ”

"This we understand, so we didn’t investigate too aggressively . ”

The next bunch was the team that investigated evidence to prove that Wu Hao was the killer . This group was led by Lin Dongxue . She stood up and shamefully reported, “I haven’t made any progress on my side either . I went to visit Wu Hao twice . He said that he had a meal with his brother last month . I went to the restaurant to verify this, but the staff confirmed that they really saw Wu Hao and another person who claimed to be his brother there . He also mentioned that he went to the foot bath club with Wu Dalang . I also verified with the store and they confirmed this . In addition, the deceased works via an online shop . According to the website, although his sales in the past three months were not good, he was always online . He also participated in the website promotion on the 11th of November . "

Lin Qiupu growled, "What a sly guy . It seems that he’s been ready for us . "

"Yes, he has deleted all the recent photos of the deceased . We can’t just rely on the people in the restaurants and health clubs alone . Their words can't prove that person who was there was the victim . "

Lin Qiupu was very confident . With Peng Sijue’s identification results and Chen Shi’s reasoning backing them, his heart wasn’t filled with any doubt . He surmised, “That is definitely not the deceased . It’s an actor that Wu Hao found . We must find a way to prove that he is lying . ”

Lin Dongxue bit her lip and looked hesitant .

Lin Qiupu wrapped up after summarizing the findings . "From the current clues, Wu Hao and Pan Xiuying almost certainly imprisoned and killed the victim . The deceased’s death was forcibly delayed for three months . They prepared for three months . It is certainly not easy to find a breakthrough . But don't be discouraged! I believe they will definitely have missed something and show their true colors! Okay, let’s finish up for today and continue tomorrow . "

After the meeting, Lin Dongxue walked straight out of the bureau and Xu Xiaodong chased after her . "Hey, Dongxue, where are you going?"

"I suddenly remembered that the trade-workers said that they found feces under the floorboards . That should be able to prove that it was the victim’s as well determine his physical condition at the time . It is also a type of evidence!"

"You are being too reckless! With no search warrants, how can you enter other people's homes?"

Lin Dongxue stopped in her tracks . Although she knew who the murderer was, she was unable to obtain the evidence to prosecute the criminal . She felt anxious and impatient . "What if the workers threw it out with the garbage?"

"It’s been a few days . The garbage must have been transported away already . "

"In the community, it is generally not allowed to throw out construction waste . They will be transferred to other places . . . " Lin Dongxue looked at her watch . "It is five o'clock now . We should be able to catch the workers before they get off work . Let’s go, let’s go!”

"Okay let’s go . I will drive you . "

The two people went to the community with enthusiasm . The construction workers that Wu Hao hired had already left work . Lin Dongxue asked the neighbors to find out where the garbage from the construction of the household was thrown .

The neighbors recalled, "I saw that they had two pickups that transported them away . "

"Then do you know where their company is located?"

"It’s only a small construction team . If there is any company, it should have small advertisements posted on the wall . You can call them to ask one by one . "

They thanked the neighbors, and Lin Dongxue called the numbers that were posted on the wall and finally found the construction team . They informed her that they were eating at a restaurant not far from the community . The two rushed over and explained the situation . The foreman responded, “The scraps that we knocked down were sold to another construction team . They took it to fill the roads and bought it at a price of fifty cents per catty . I will take you over and go look for it later . "

"Even the scraps from three days ago?"

"It’s there . "

Another worker interjected, "Boss, have you forgotten? Didn’t Boss Wu ask us to give him all the building materials and pay us two hundred yuan?"

"Yes, yes . " The foreman became apologetic . "Sorry, the building materials were all purchased . "

Lin Dongxue widened her eyes in shock, and Xu Xiaodong exclaimed, "He actually made that move? It’s indicating that Chen Shi's reasoning is correct, and that Wu Hao has a ghost in his heart!"[1]

"What use is there? We have no evidence . . . " Lin Dongxue looked at the construction waste on the side of the pickup, as if she was looking at a big cake .

"You wouldn’t be thinking . . . "

"Using a dead horse to heal instead of a living one[2] . Find out if there are any clues in the garbage today . "

Lin Dongxue immediately took out three hundred yuan and bought the scrap . The workers were willing to help her to send it to the bureau . Lin Dongxue especially cautioned them to not speak of this incident elsewhere, especially not to Wu Hao .

The workers accepted in unison . "We will definitely cooperate . . . If the boss is caught, will we still get paid?"

"If the arrested doesn’t pay you, then the police will . Don’t worry . ”

Xu Xiaodong inserted a sentence, "If you leak this and he runs off, then you all really won’t get paid . ”

"We will definitely not talk about it! Definitely not"

The workers poured the pile of scraps into the parking lot behind the city bureau . It released a cloud of dust and caused many colleagues upstairs to look down at the scene . The criminal police always brought in weird things that they had long grown accustomed to . However, they couldn’t stand the dust this time . Everyone closed their windows .  

Xu Xiaodong had goosebumps . "Are you going to bring the scraps over the mountain?”[3]

"I want to sleep well tonight . Can you help me call a few people of the forensic squad over?"

"I can't go! I don’t want to . "

1 . Guilty conscience, but usually just used to indicate that someone truly is guilty of something .  

2 . Bluffing with something similar .  

3 . There’s a story about people who needed to cross over a mountain, but because they couldn’t hike over it, they decided to transport the mountain over to a new area bit by bit instead . It means tirelessly doing a time-consuming and inefficient task .
