Noon.
Other than the colleagues from Team A, Zhao Yu also called Zhang Jingfeng and Liang Huan to the Boiling Fish Village. The two had just left Team A, so technically they were not outsiders.
After the seafood feast was served, everyone could not help but gasp. No one had expected Zhao Yu to be so generous. He even brought lobsters and abalones!
This kind of generosity really made everyone feel overwhelmed by the favor.
Of course, only Zhao Yu and Li Beini knew where the lobsters and abalones had come from. It was all from Zhao Yu's evil hands.
As they had to work in the afternoon, no one drank, but the atmosphere was as lively as usual.
At the dining table, everyone talked about the expected topics, such as praises for Zhao Yu, congratulations, discussions about the case, expectations for Team A, and so on.
Among the entire team, only one person was unhappy. That was Liu Xueshan, who had searched for the criminals with Zhao Yu! This guy chewed on the crab silently, his mind filled with regret!
He regretted not following Zhao Yu to search for Yang Wentao! If he had followed Zhao Yu to Yinpan Town, he might have been one of the people who received praise today!
Now, because of his own laziness, Zhao Yu's limitless glory had been exchanged, while his own had been overshadowed. How depressing … But it was also from this moment onwards that Liu Xueshan decided to follow Zhao Yu closely if there was a mission in the future! This kid was really too abnormal!
However, at that moment, Zhao Yu was a little abnormal. At the dining table, even though he was still arrogant, he was obviously absent-minded during the conversation, as if he had something on his mind!
Everyone was a criminal police officer, so they could naturally tell. But as they tasted the delicious seafood, no one had time to ask.
Of course Zhao Yu had something on his mind, and not just one!
First of all, he wanted to know if the hint he had received today could be the key to solving Jian Wenli's murder case.
He had risked being absent from the meeting to interrogate Liu Pengfei at the detention center, just to confirm if his thinking was correct.
What's more, it turned out that he was probably on the right track in his investigation once again! At the moment, he was waiting for Miao Ying's investigation results. He was anxious, so he seemed absent-minded.
As it turned out, when Huahua mentioned that she had lost the key and asked Yang Hong to change the lock, Zhao Yu could not help but think of something. Today, when Li Beini introduced the nursing home burglary case, she mentioned the key and lock again, which finally caught Zhao Yu's attention!
Zhao Yu clearly remembered that in Lin Meifeng's confession, she had clearly mentioned that when she first entered Jian Wenli's house and attempted to kill her, the door was locked!
The gate to the courtyard was locked, and so was the door to the room!
Lin Meifeng was only able to enter with the key that Liu Pengfei had provided.
Now that he had repeatedly thought about this detail and combined it with his previous speculations, Zhao Yu vaguely grasped something …
First of all, through his lie detector, as well as Captain Miao's recent evidence collection, he could confirm that Jian Wenli had been strangled to death before Lin Meifeng entered the room and stabbed her.
Lin Meifeng's knife was merely stabbing a dead person!
Then … here comes the problem!
How did the person who killed Jian Wenli enter her house?
When Lin Meifeng entered, the door was locked. She used the key to open the door. In other words, the door lock was still intact at that time, and the murderer did not break in by breaking the door!
Then … how did he get in?
In order not to make any mistakes, Zhao Yu carefully looked through the records from that year. It clearly stated that Jian Wenli's door lock had not been broken into!
In other words, the murderer most likely used the key to open the door!
That's right!
The key that Zhao Yu was thinking about was here!
If the murderer also used the key to open the door, then … where did his key come from?
If he could find the source of the key, would he be able to lock onto the murderer?!
Thus, with this thought in mind, Zhao Yu rushed to the detention center to interrogate Liu Pengfei again.
According to Liu Pengfei's confession, there were only two sets of keys in their house, and one was held by him and his wife. Other than Lin Meifeng, who exchanged the keys for the murderer, he had never given anyone else the key.
After hearing Liu Pengfei's answer, Zhao Yu instinctively thought of a possibility! That was … this Jian Wenli, did she have a problem with her lifestyle? Could the murderer's key have been given by her? Or perhaps the murderer did not even have the key, and Jian Wenli had opened the door for him?
Jian Wenli had an affair with the murderer, and the murderer either hated her out of love, or wanted to steal something from Jian Wenli's house, but was accidentally seen by Jian Wenli, and thus strangled her to death?
But after careful consideration, Zhao Yu rejected this conjecture.
First of all, the police had investigated Jian Wenli's background, and did not find any rumors of her having an affair with anyone. If the murderer really had an affair with Jian Wenli, then the truth of the case would have been revealed long ago!
Also, Zhao Yu did not believe that the real murderer and Lin Meifeng's exchange of kills was purely a coincidence!
It was too much of a coincidence!
If they did not discuss it, how could it be so coincidental?
He felt that the murderer who killed Jian Wenli was definitely related to either Lin Meifeng or Liu Pengfei!
Before this, both of them had suspected Lin Meifeng's current husband. But the evidence showed that ten years ago, not only did they not know each other, they were not even in the same city. Lin Meifeng's husband also had nothing to do with Yu Zhigen, Liu Pengfei, or Jian Wenli!
It was not Jian Wenli's lover, nor was it Lin Meifeng's husband. Then... what was the truth?
At the time, Zhao Yu saw that he did not get any valuable information, so he wanted the prison guards to take Liu Pengfei away. But just as Liu Pengfei was about to step out the door, Zhao Yu had a flash of inspiration and called him back.
Because at that moment, Zhao Yu's mind flashed with the words key and lock, causing him to rearrange his thoughts and grasp another important point.
"Liu Pengfei, I want to ask one more question," Zhao Yu tried to ask, "the key you gave Lin Meifeng — where did you get it from?"
"Hmm..." Because it had been so long, Liu Pengfei had almost forgotten. He scratched his nose and thought for a full five minutes before answering uncertainly, "Officer, I remember, in order to not be seen by people I knew, I probably ran far away to get the key! That place... it was probably in the suburbs. I don't remember the name, but I can roughly remember the location... "
"Then..." Zhao Yu took out a pen and paper, "draw it for me! Oh, right, do you remember the person who made the key, what did he look like? "
"I remember that!" Liu Pengfei picked up the pen and prepared to draw as he answered without thinking, "That person was bald, half a head taller than me, and... he walked with a limp!"
"What?! What did you say?! "
Hearing this, Zhao Yu was shocked and let out a roar.
