"This is the back door of Chenyang House!" Cui Lizhu pointed to an old iron gate and said, "The last time we entered Chenyang House to investigate the crime scene, we came here!"
"Captain Shao said that this iron gate can only be opened from the inside. There is no keyhole on the outside!" Miao Ying came to the door and said, "If Zhang Shixiong really went in from here, how did he open the door?"
"On the contrary …" Cui Lizhu shrugged her shoulders and said, "For me, it's a piece of cake. He climbed over the wall and opened it from the inside!"
"This wall …" Miao Ying looked up and pointed to the towering wall. "This wall is not short. Ordinary people can't climb over it, right?"
"Of course," Cui Lizhu said proudly. "You need professional equipment! You also need to avoid all the surveillance cameras. But, I've already looked at it before. There is only one back door. After climbing over the wall, you need to move it at an angle … "
"You can do it, but … How can Zhang Shixiong do it?" Miao Ying looked around and said, "Even if he parked the car under the wall and stepped on it, it would be difficult to climb up, right?
"Unless … There is a taller car … Or …" She pointed to a big tree and said, "Climb up the tree?"
"No …" Cui Lizhu said, "It's very difficult to climb up the tree. These are all cypress trees that are less than ten years old. The branches can't support an adult!"
"Then …" Miao Ying frowned. "How did he open the back door? He had to open the back door to bring the victim into Chenyang House! "
"If he took a detour through the main entrance, he would definitely be captured by the surveillance cameras on the main road!"
"Let me think …" Then, Cui Lizhu thought of something. She came to the front door and carefully examined the iron gate. At the same time, she said, "This door uses the most common hidden lock. After it's locked, the key can be turned twice, and there are two locks.
In this way, people without the key, whether they are inside or outside, can't open this door! "
"The murderer … has a full set of keys to Chenyang House, so it should include the back door …"
"Then …" Cui Lizhu turned to look at Miao Ying. "Sister Miao, I thought of a possibility. That is, the murderer entered Chen Yang Residence from somewhere else. He took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and went to the back door.
"In this way, he only needs to use a small knife to pry open the door from the outside. For example … like I am now …"
Cui Lizhu took out a knife as if she was performing a magic trick and inserted the blade into the gap of the iron door …
"Really?" Miao Ying recalled and said, "Why didn't we notice this detail before? If … the murderer really did what you said, and opened the two locks in advance, then … when he left, he only needed to close the door? "
"So," Cui Lizhu said, "if I can pry open the lock, then our inference can be established!"
However, after trying a few times, she could only shake her head helplessly.
"You can't open it?" Miao Ying guessed. "Maybe, when the murderer closed the door for the last time, he thought of this problem, so he left from the front door?
"Or … somewhere else?"
"Yes!" Cui Lizhu said. "There is a potted plant rack in the yard. If he stepped on the rack, he could have climbed up the wall!
"Sister Miao, I think our inference is correct! Don't forget, the culprit removed all the hard drives. The reason he did this was not only to erase the footage of the crime that day, but also to erase the evidence that he came to Chen Yang Residence and secretly opened the back door! "
"Tsk tsk …" Miao Ying sighed. "According to what you said, the murderer is not an ordinary person! He knows how to use anesthetics, how to kill, how to make a key, and how to deal with the surveillance. Why do I feel that Zhang Shixiong doesn't seem to be the murderer? "
"Really?" Cui Lizhu frowned. "I don't think so. Haven't you noticed? There are a lot of things that we think are internal secrets of the police, but in fact, they can be found on the Internet!
There are even tutorials on jailbreaking!
"Zhang Shixiong loves to surf the Internet. If he wants to learn, it shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
"Okay." Miao Ying nodded and said, "Then, I'll tell Zeng Ke to check Zhang Shixiong's online records and see what he has looked up recently …"
"Okay!" Cui Lizhu said. "Boss always tells me not to trust my intuition! But, this time, my intuition tells me that Zhang Shixiong is definitely related to the red bathtub. Even if he isn't the murderer, he must be an important insider! "
"Yes!" Miao Ying said. "We have to carefully investigate his circle of friends. If this case is really related to the red bathtub case, then Zhang Shixiong must have been in contact with someone related to the old case!
This person could be a witness, or he could be the police officer in charge of the investigation! In short, he must have seen the scene of the old case before he could commit such a highly similar imitation! "
"Yes!" Cui Lizhu echoed. "Of course, this person could also be Zhang Qile! After all, Zhang Qile painted the red bathtub before! "
Beep beep … Beep beep …
Just as the two of them were discussing this, Miao Ying received a message from Zhang Peipei, saying that Zhang Shixiong's family had completed the first round of evidence collection, so they could enter the crime scene!
So, the two of them returned to Zhang Shixiong's two-story building and entered his home.
The house had a strong antique vibe. Although it had been renovated several times, they could still feel the vicissitudes of life.
Although the house was a small two-story building with no shelter, there was a damp and gloomy feeling in the house. There was also a musty smell that could only come from rotten wood, perhaps because of the structure.
In addition, the house was not exactly in the south or north direction, so its location was slightly off. The second floor was almost a triangular house, which gave it a very uncomfortable feeling.
However, thinking about the history of the house, it was understandable. After all, it used to be a place where the servants of wealthy families lived.
The house wasn't big, so Miao Ying and Cui Lizhu quickly looked around. They realized that Zhang Shixiong was probably a nerd who liked to play games. The computer desk was covered with snacks and drinks, and the quilt was unfolded, which made it look very messy.
In Zhang Shixiong's bedroom, they saw a photo of Zhang Shixiong and his girlfriend. The woman in the photo was probably the girlfriend that Zhang Shixiong had just broken up with!
Previously, the police had confirmed that his girlfriend was safe and happy at her new boyfriend's house.
"Sister Miao," Zhang Peipei came over to report, "so far, we haven't found anything suspicious. We only collected some hair, which looked like a woman's long hair. However, we still have to test it to know if it's Zhang Qile's …"
"Mm …" Miao Ying said, "Remember to bring his computer back! Check it carefully … "
"Understood!" Zhang Peipei immediately led her people to take care of the computer.
Just then, Miao Ying received a new message on her phone. Wu Xiumin had interrogated him about the game.
Zhang Shixiong claimed that he had a game date with his teammates that night, but because he was too tired, he didn't join them!
Because of this, he decided to switch shifts with his colleagues the next day, so that he could have a good time!
The next day, he played games for almost the entire day, until ten o 'clock at night. He was too tired, so he decided to rest …
"Hey? Isn't this answer a little too perfunctory? " Cui Lizhu complained. "The first night, he said he was too tired, but can we interpret it as he had to deal with Zhang Qile, so he didn't have time to play games?
The second night, he said he was tired and went to sleep. Can we also interpret it as he brought Zhang Qile to Chenyang House and killed her there? "
"Ha, understanding is one thing," Miao Ying said helplessly. "But if we look at these confessions in reverse, even if Zhang Shixiong doesn't have an alibi, we still can't do anything to him!"
