At 5: 30 in the afternoon, more than a dozen police officers were carefully searching Tu Qiang's residence in a residential building in Xing Hai District, Yaoming City.
It was an old-fashioned residential building with an area of only 70 square meters. Because of Ms. Xie's irregular cleaning, it had always been clean and tidy, although no one had lived there for two years.
More than a dozen police officers were professional investigators transferred by Officer Wang from the technical team and the forensics department to ensure that they would not miss any clues.
Zhao Yu thought that if Tu Qiang was the real murderer X who had killed 13 victims, there might be some evidence left in his home.
If they could find any evidence related to the Memoir of a Murderer, then Tu Qiang could plead guilty.
At this moment, Zhao Yu stood in the living room of Tu Qiang's home, carefully observing the environment.
Through preliminary observation, he was sure that Tu Qiang was indeed a person who liked reading very much.
On his bookshelf, in addition to a large number of legal books, there were also many other professional books in other fields, such as psychology, pathology, and even criminal investigation. It could be said that he was well-read.
Moreover, Tu Qiang was a very careful person. Every book was well kept. Zhao Yu could even see his neat notes when he opened the books.
This reminded Zhao Yu of Li Dan in the Lost Hand Case. It could be seen that Tu Qiang was also a very scheming and cautious person, which was very consistent with the real murderer X's character characteristics.
All in all, Zhao Yu was more and more convinced that he had not found the wrong person. This Tu Qiang should be the real murderer X that they were looking for. The real Memoirs of a Murderer was completely written by him, and Nong Zhifa was just a scapegoat that had been bewitched by him.
"Master," Officer Wang said to Zhao Yu excitedly, "Ms. Xie said that although Tu Qiang only lived in this old house for about a year before he went to prison, he did not find the wrong person.
"But, the things here are basically their old things!
He opened the property information on his mobile phone and said, "According to the information, this house was built in 1997. Tu Qiang and his wife bought a new house at that time and have lived here for five years.
During that period, the Memoir of a Murderer was not finished. So, maybe we can really find something! As long as we can establish contact with the victims, Tu Qiang will definitely confess. "
"But the point is …" Zhao Yu said. "We have to at least know what kind of crimes he committed during that period of time! The eight cases in the Memoir of a Murderer were all fabricated by him, and the five cases that we can confirm all happened before 1997! "
"Well … Indeed …" Officer Wang nodded and said, "Master, how about this? Should I look up all the missing women from that era again? Let's see if there are any that match the characteristics of a memoir of a homicide. "
"This …" Zhao Yu seemed to be in a dilemma.
"It doesn't matter," Officer Wang said. "At the beginning of the investigation, all the information had been collected, but at that time, we thought that the memoirs were all real!
"Now, all we need to do is to re-compare them according to certain conditions." Officer Wang was very active. "At that time, we found more than four hundred missing cases in total. If we shorten the time, the workload will not be too heavy. We all have professional technicians, so we should be able to finish it soon!"
"Alright." Zhao Yu nodded. "As long as there is a little hope, we have to fight for it …"
"Alright! I'll do it now … "After that, Officer Wang picked up his mobile phone and went outside to make a phone call.
At this time, Zeng Ke ran in from outside and reported to Zhao Yu, "There is news from the prison. Several prisoners have confirmed that Tu Qiang and Nong Zhifa did have unusual communication …"
Zhao Yu frowned. "We have investigated these prisoners before. Why didn't they say anything before?"
"Um … Maybe … Maybe there was no suspect before?" Zeng Ke explained. "Prisoners have a lot of contact with other prisoners!"
Zhao Yu asked, "Then … What kind of unusual communication did they have?"
"The prisoners said that Nong Zhifa and Tu Qiang were relatively boring people in prison. Someone once saw them having close contact with each other. It seemed that they had a good chat …" Zeng Ke said.
"Also, when they were talking, they usually hid away from the crowd, which made them seem mysterious …"
"Really?" Zhao Yu didn't quite believe him. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Anything else?"
"No," Zeng Ke replied seriously. "That's all! In fact, the prisoners said that because of their different personalities, they didn't have much contact with them … "
"Sigh!" Zhao Yu sighed. Of course, he understood that prisoners came and went in and out of prison, so it was reasonable that they didn't have much contact with each other.
"Team Leader …" Zeng Ke said, "I just contacted Cui Lizhu. He's still being interrogated. It seems that Tu Qiang is going all out. He refused to say anything because he's betting that we can't find any concrete evidence!"
"Then, let the prison check him carefully," Zhao Yu said. "Check his personal belongings to see if there is anything related to the Memoirs of a Murderer."
Zeng Ke shook his head. "I've searched several times, but I haven't found anything …"
"Um … That's true. This guy is so careful. Even if there was any evidence, it would have been destroyed long ago!" Zhao Yu sighed. "If we really can't find any new evidence, we'll have to watch him get away with it!
He's a lawyer, so he must know this very well! "
"Yes!" Zeng Ke agreed, while looking at the investigators' work. He then suggested to Zhao Yu, "Team Leader, if we want to get evidence, we have to find other ways!
"It would be great if we could find the things that he used to commit the murders!"
Zhao Yu pointed to the investigators and said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have called so many people over."
Zeng Ke then said, "I think … Tu Qiang used to have more than one residence. We should talk to Ms. Xie again and ask her to take us to find more information about Tu Qiang.
"Who knows, we might be able to find something important? Don't you think so? "
"That's right!" Zhao Yu patted his thigh and his eyes lit up. He then said quickly, "I think so too. So, please go with us! I'll leave this task to you! "
Zeng Ke grinned, but still nodded and agreed. "Okay, I'll go and ask Officer Wang for some people now! I can't … "
After that, Zeng Ke turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute …" Zhao Yu stopped him and said, "There's another task that you and Officer Wang have to do!"
Zeng Ke then asked, "What task?"
"Although the victims recorded in the Memoirs of a Murderer were all randomly selected by the murderer …" Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows. "What if the murderer made them up?"
"You … You mean …" Zeng Ke seemed to understand.
"You and Officer Wang send someone to investigate Tu Qiang's interpersonal relationships," Zhao Yu said. "Especially during the period when the Memoirs of a Murderer happened. See if anyone related to Tu Qiang has disappeared …"
