Zhao Yu turned on the magnifying glass function of his phone and looked at the weapon in the photo carefully. The more he looked, the more he felt that his speculation was correct!
He never expected that behind the murder case, there really was such a high-tech item. Although the weapon was only a small dagger, there could be a hidden secret on the dagger.
It turned out that, when Zhao Yu was speculating about the third possibility, he remembered that the location of the weapon was illogical.
Previously, he couldn't figure out why the weapon with Feng Kuo's fingerprints would be in Feng Kuo's bedroom, and not in the crime scene or the nearby bushes or trash cans.
Now, it seemed that if the third possibility of his speculation was true, then it could explain the reason.
The third possibility was that the weapon had been changed by someone — the hilt!!
Try to imagine, could the case be like this back then?
In order to frame Feng Kuo, the murderer had prepared two daggers beforehand. One of the daggers was placed at the place that Feng Kuo usually used, so that Feng Kuo's fingerprints could be found on it.
Then, the other dagger was used to kill.
That night, the murderer found out about Feng Kuo's whereabouts, so he took the second dagger and stabbed Liu Jiao to death. Then, he returned to Feng Kuo's room and changed the hilts of the two daggers. In this way, the weapon would have the blood of the deceased, as well as Feng Kuo's fingerprints!
Perfect!!
Just as Zhao Yu thought about this, he felt that his blood was pumping faster and he was extremely excited. He felt that he had finally found the key point of the case!
As it took a lot of time to change the hilt, the murderer couldn't do it at the crime scene. So, he brought it back to Feng Kuo's bedroom to frame him.
Otherwise, he could have left the weapon at the crime scene, and it would have been even more perfect to frame him!
Mm …
Zhao Yu quickly searched for information about the hilt on the internet. According to the internet, the hilt of a normal knife was fixed with an eye nail and superglue. Once the glue solidified, even if the eye nail could be removed, the hilt couldn't be removed easily.
Besides, removing the eye nail required skills and professional tools. It would be difficult for an inexperienced person to do it.
If so …
Zhao Yu felt his heart racing, and he was extremely excited. Because, if the third inference was true, then the suspect in Liu Jiao's case had obviously surfaced.
There were only two suspects, Xiao Guofeng and Xiao Zhen, who could have used changing the hilt to murder Liu Jiao!
That's right!
The real culprit was between this father and son pair!
Think about it, both of them were woodworking experts, and they had plenty of tools at home. Wouldn't changing the handle of the knife be a piece of cake? They must have prepared two unglued daggers in advance in order to better replace the hilts.
Moreover, the murderer had to be familiar with Feng Kuo's personal and family situation, as both of them were very familiar with each other.
This time, Zhao Yu didn't fall into the same mindset as before. Although Xiao Guofeng didn't have a motive, Zhao Yu still suspected him.
After the case, it was his testimony that removed Xiao Zhen from the police's list of suspects!
Xiao Guofeng said that the father and son had gone to Lingyun to deliver goods that day and only returned home after 11 o 'clock. But, just as they entered the door, they received a call from the police. Then, they rushed to the police station to look for Feng Kuo.
So … even if the murderer was Xiao Zhen, this Xiao Guofeng would definitely know about it!
Who would have thought that in such a short period of time, another group of accomplices would appear?
Tsk tsk …
Looking at Xiao Guofeng and Xiao Zhen's names, Zhao Yu felt that God was messing with him. He had investigated for such a long time and traveled so far, but he never expected that, in the end, he would be back to square one!
Since he had shifted his target back to the father and son from the Xiao family, Zhao Yu deduced along this line of thought.
But, as he deduced, some illogical contradictions were gradually exposed.
First of all, there was the motive for the crime. Why did they do it? Why did they kill Liu Jiao and frame Feng Kuo? Could it be … that they didn't want Feng Kuo to get his family property for free?
Through the previous investigations, it had been confirmed from many aspects that their family got along harmoniously, and there were no disputes.
Plus, when Feng Lin married Xiao Guofeng, her assets were much bigger than Xiao Guofeng's. Back then, Xiao Guofeng's woodworking factory hadn't been established yet!
After marriage, Feng Lin didn't retire from the entertainment industry. Her assets added up to at least five million, which was far more than Xiao Guofeng's.
So, it was unlikely that they would have any conflicts because of their assets. Even if the two of them shared half of the assets, it would be enough for them to live a wealthy life. Plus, the two of them had their own careers!
Besides, the most incomprehensible thing was, if the father and son really wanted to frame Feng Kuo, why didn't they target Feng Kuo directly? Why did they have to find a person that they didn't know to kill?
Plus, it was a murder, after all! Even if they were to frame Feng Kuo by hiding drugs, it would still be better than betting with a human life, right?
So, the motive was unknown, and the case was still confusing.
Plus, after Feng Kuo's accident, Xiao Guofeng's reaction was completely different from what they had guessed. When Feng Kuo was arrested for murder, there was a high possibility that he would be sentenced to death!
In order to save Feng Kuo's life, Xiao Guofeng used countless connections, and didn't hesitate to sell a portion of the factory's property rights, as well as two properties. Then, he pulled Feng Kuo back from the brink of death, and changed his sentence to a suspended sentence.
Later, he invested an unimaginable amount of money, and sent Feng Kuo to the provincial prison, which had better conditions. Then, his sentence was slowly reduced to nineteen years.
If he wanted to frame Feng Kuo, why did he have to do all these things? With just a little trick, he could hide it from Feng Lin, and put Feng Kuo to death!
Plus, in the later stages, when Feng Lin was hospitalized due to a cerebral hemorrhage, Xiao Guofeng didn't forget about his son, who was in prison. He was still using all kinds of methods to apply for a reduced sentence for him.
It could be said that even his biological father couldn't compare!
So, judging from Xiao Guofeng's behavior, he didn't look like a suspect …
Could it be … All of this was done by Xiao Zhen?
But … what about testimonies? Xiao Zhen wasn't at the scene!
Plus, there was one last point. Regardless of whether it was Xiao Guofeng or Xiao Zhen, there was no fake writing in the word "Xiao". The handwriting experts had already confirmed that the blood stain left by Liu Jiao couldn't possibly be a "Cao" character!
How could this be explained?
Beep beep …
There was a message on his phone. Zhao Yu thought that it was from Miao Ying, so he quickly opened it. In the end, the message was from Liang Huan.
Liang Huan told Zhao Yu that Liu Jiao was from Yunzhou, and she was an only child. After her death, her parents left Yunzhou to live in another city due to the trauma, so they couldn't be contacted yet.
Phew …
Zhao Yu took a deep breath. From what he saw, he shouldn't be able to get any valuable information from Liu Jiao's parents. But, based on the principle of not leaving out any details, he still had to investigate.
Hence, Zhao Yu told Liang Huan that he had to follow up on this line. If it wasn't easy to find them, then he could get Zhang Jingfeng to come over and let the missing person expert look for them.
After sending the text message, Zhao Yu turned his thoughts back to the matter at hand.
Then, although he had gotten a very important clue, to dig out the truth, it was obviously going to take a lot of effort.
