Zhao Yu had drunk quite a bit and was starting to feel a little dizzy.
But since it was already past midnight, he lit a cigarette and opened a new hexagram.
After a bout of coughing, the system notified Zhao Yu that he had opened a "Kan Zhen" hexagram. The hexagram said, "Kan water quakes thunder, muffled thunder in the water, not in harmony with each other, indistinguishable from each other.
The cryptic hexagram was still as unfathomable as ever. But for the "Kan Zhen" hexagram, it had appeared before. The "Water Quakes Thunder" from the last training was still fresh in Zhao Yu's mind. And this time, it was a "Muffled Thunder in the Water." What was the difference between these two "thunders?"
Until now, Zhao Yu had not figured out what the "Zhen" hexagram represented. Today was a good chance to study it.
As for the "Kan" hexagram, he already knew that it represented a woman. I wonder which woman I will meet today? Would it be Yao Jia, whom he had been thinking about day and night, or Miao Ying, who had just turned from an enemy into a friend? Or maybe he would meet another woman?
Sigh!
Zhao Yu sighed. It had been a torturous day. It was better to have a good sleep and recover his energy first!
Unexpectedly, just as he laid down, his phone suddenly rang. He opened it and saw a WeChat message. What surprised him was that the message was from Miao Ying!
"Huh?
It's so late, why is Miao Renfeng sending me a message? "
Curious, Zhao Yu opened it and saw that Miao Ying's message was quite long. It said, "Officer Zhao, after the initial interrogation, Lin Meifeng confessed everything. But for some reason, Lin Meifeng's confession is inconsistent with our original case records!
"I feel that there might be more to this case than meets the eye. If you have time tomorrow, I hope you can come to our place!"
"What?
The confession is inconsistent with the records?
What does that mean? "
Zhao Yu felt a headache coming on and asked, "What's the discrepancy?"
After about ten seconds, Miao Ying replied. It was also a voice message: "Lin Meifeng claimed that she stabbed Jian Wenli to death with a knife, but the autopsy report clearly recorded that Jian Wenli died of suffocation!"
"Huh?
How could this be? "
Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment and sobered up a little.
"Lin Meifeng has already pleaded guilty. She has no reason to lie, so I feel that there might be more to Jian Wenli's case. I have to inform you!" Miao Ying followed up with another voice message.
Hmm …
Zhao Yu furrowed his brows and kept muttering, "Motherf * cker." He was wondering why Lin Meifeng's testimony was so different. As he thought about it, an idea popped into his mind, causing Zhao Yu to sit up straight.
Oh …
It can't be, right?
Could it be …
Jian Wenli was not killed by Lin Meifeng?
The murderer was someone else!?
What the …
If Lin Meifeng was innocent …
At that moment, Zhao Yu seemed to have sobered up a little. He quickly sent a message to Miao Ying, asking her where she was. She was still interrogating Lin Meifeng at the Ruyang Branch.
Zhao Yu couldn't wait any longer, so he said, "Wait for me, I'll be right there!"
Miao Ying also hoped that Zhao Yu could come over to help, so she did not reject his offer. She only told him to be careful on the road.
Zhao Yu quickly got dressed and prepared to leave. Since it was too troublesome to go to the police station to get his car, he took a taxi and went straight to the Ruyang Police Station.
There were not many cars in the middle of the night, so it only took him twenty minutes to reach his destination. However, because the car was going too fast, Zhao Yu's stomach felt uncomfortable and he felt like vomiting.
It was already two-thirty at night, but Miao Ying was still interrogating Lin Meifeng with all her might, not wanting to miss any detail.
Hearing that Zhao Yu had arrived, she came out from the interrogation room to welcome him and gave him a copy of the testimony.
Regarding Jian Wenli's case, Miao Ying originally did not want Zhao Yu to be involved. However, through his behavior during the day, she realized that Zhao Yu had a lot of ideas, and his way of thinking was quite unique. Since she had encountered a problem, she might as well listen to his opinion.
Since Jian Wenli's case belonged to their branch, she did not have to worry about Zhao Yu stealing the credit. Why not have one more person with ideas?
Zhao Yu looked at the testimony seriously, and Miao Ying gave him the other copy of the case record from that year. The important parts of the two documents had been marked out by Miao Ying with a red pen.
"Here," Miao Ying pointed them out to Zhao Yu, "the victim died of suffocation, but Lin Meifeng said that she used a knife to kill her! The autopsy report showed that the victim's body did have marks of being stabbed, but because of the quilt, none of the stab wounds were fatal. They were all superficial wounds and could not have been fatal!
"Also, in order to make the crime scene look like murder, Lin Meifeng ransacked the west bedroom after the murder. According to the crime scene report, the east bedroom was also ransacked, but Lin Meifeng insisted that she had never been to the east bedroom!
"Look here," Miao Ying continued. "The police officers who were in charge of the investigation found some scattered footprints at the scene, but Lin Meifeng said that before she entered the house, she had put on shoe covers that she had prepared beforehand, so there were no footprints at all. Our colleagues from the forensics department have already gone to compare … "
"Oh...
So that's how it is … "
Facing the inconsistent testimonies, Zhao Yu frowned and fell into deep thought. However, because he had drunk too much alcohol, the effects of the alcohol had gotten to his head. He felt dizzy and his stomach was churning, so he couldn't concentrate.
"Police Officer Zhao," Miao Ying said to Zhao Yu without reservation, "I think there are too many suspicious points in Jian Wenli's case. We can't just close the case! If Lin Meifeng did not lie, then there could be a third person at the crime scene! "
"Yes!"
Zhao Yu thought so too, but under the influence of alcohol, he could not speak fluently.
"It's possible that … it was this person who strangled Jian Wenli first, and then Lin Meifeng stabbed her; it's also possible that … it was this person and Lin Meifeng who killed Jian Wenli together; it's also possible that … after Lin Meifeng stabbed Jian Wenli a few times, she thought that Jian Wenli was dead and left the scene! But Jian Wenli did not die, but this mysterious third person … "
"Mm …"
Zhao Yu looked at Miao Ying with his drunken eyes, his stomach churning even more.
"That's not right!" But Miao Ying had already entered her own line of thought. She quickly denied some of the conjectures and said, "If Lin Meifeng wanted to protect this third person, then she should have taken responsibility for this alone, and there wouldn't be a situation where the testimonies are inconsistent! In other words … Lin Meifeng and this mysterious third person should not have crossed paths. At the crime scene, they most likely did not meet … Police Officer Zhao, I think … "
While Miao Ying was talking, Zhao Yu was standing sideways and pressing on his chest. Once Miao Ying called his name, Zhao Yu turned around and faced Miao Ying.
