"Look …" Zhao Yu pointed at all the information on the whiteboard and said, "The places that the murderer chose to kill were either abandoned buildings or empty houses. They were either far away from the city center or not noticed by anyone!
If it wasn't for the accident in the third case, I'm afraid the police wouldn't have been able to link all these cases together! You might not be able to distinguish between suicide and murder! " Zhao Yu tapped on the whiteboard. "The murderer chose his targets very carefully. Although these victims had different identities, most of them didn't have stable jobs, and they didn't have any relatives with them. If they went missing, no one would go to the police station to report them! The longer the corpse was found, the better it would be for the murderer to fake a suicide scene!
So, although there was 11 Kills as a guide, the murderer still put a lot of thought into it! " Zhao Yu said. "At least he had done some research in advance and made a complete plan. He knew where there were no cameras and where he could avoid the crowd! However, he probably didn't know much about electric shocks, so he made a mistake in the third case!
"Sigh!" Zhao Yu sighed, then looked at the whiteboard and said, "I really want to see what kind of novel Han Kuan wrote 11 Kills. If it's really a lousy book, how could the murderer be so obsessed? "
"Eh? Ran Tao suddenly said, "If the book is really a bad book, then … Is it possible that the murderer was trained by Han Kuan? Or perhaps, they were accomplices to begin with? The real murderer behind the serial murder case is actually Han Kuan himself? "
Zeng Ke shook his head and said, "Wow, you make it sound like Saw. Is Han Kuan stupid? Did he call us over to investigate himself? "
"Maybe Han Kuan is now in prison, and he has no other choice?" Ran Tao asked again, "He betrayed his apprentice to make a deal with us so that we can help him investigate his innocence?"
"You're crazy!" Wu Xiumin ridiculed him in public as usual. "Don't you think your words are full of contradictions? Abetting murder is even more serious than murder! If Han Kuan betrayed his accomplices or apprentices, he would be courting death! Please, don't give us any more trouble, okay? My train of thought was quite clear, but now that you've messed with it, I've almost reached the South Pole! "
"He's here again! What did I do to you? What's the point of always insulting me? " Ran Tao was not convinced. "Please think about it. If Han Kuan was really the one who planned this, he would have a lot to gain!"
"What benefits?" Zeng Ke asked.
"Wow!" Ran Tao gestured and said, "How could that be? When people learned that there was a serial killer killing people according to Han Kuan's novel, how popular would the book be? Not only 11 Kills, but all of his novels should be selling like hotcakes, right? "
"Oh … So, according to what you said, Han Kuan planned the book murders? However, how could he explain his own case? Was his disciple messing with him? The two of them are so anxious that they want to fight to the death? "
"Aiya!?" Upon hearing this, Ran Tao suddenly shouted. He pointed at Zeng Ke and said, "Zeng Ke, you are asking the right question! Ran Tao glanced at everyone and said mysteriously, "Could it be that Han Kuan's wife accidentally discovered his secret? That's why he killed them!? "
"This …" Sure enough, Ran Tao's words caused everyone to ponder deeply.
"Actually … The murderer is Han Kuan himself!" Ran Tao clenched his fists and said, "He called us here to help him clear his name, but in fact, he was forced to do so. He wanted to see if we could help him get away with it."
"No …" Zeng Ke looked at Zhao Yu and suddenly remembered all the speculations they had made at Han Kuan's house today. He then said in surprise, "Maybe … I have a more realistic speculation here!"
Ran Tao's eyes widened as he urged him, "Why don't you tell me?"
"It's possible …" Zeng Ke said. "After Zhang Jingru found out about Han Kuan's crimes, she felt a deep sense of despair. On the one hand, she didn't want to expose her husband's crimes, but on the other hand, she couldn't stand the guilt of her conscience. In this contradictory mood, she made a shocking decision! She wanted to use her own death to save Han Kuan's lost heart … "
Then, Zeng Ke told everyone about how Zhang Jingru had committed suicide and how she had framed Han Kuan. After hearing this, everyone was silent.
It was undeniable that the shocking inference in front of them had cleared up all their doubts in an instant! However, although it made sense, everyone still felt that Zhang Jingru's actions were too shocking!
Miao Ying shook her head and said, "How much courage and determination did she have to do such an extreme thing? If Han Kuan is convicted of killing his wife, but the evidence is not clear enough, it is very likely that Han Kuan will be sentenced to life imprisonment! Did Zhang Jingru want to use this method to punish Han Kuan? Or, did she want to stop Han Kuan from instigating others to commit crimes? But … I feel that our imagination is still a little too wild … "
"I don't know about life imprisonment! I don't know about that either! " Ran Tao scratched his head and said, "But, I know that if Zeng Ke's speculation is true, it means that Han Kuan is really innocent! He didn't kill his wife, so he called us here to help him clear his name! If that's the case, then everything makes sense! "
Zeng Ke suddenly said excitedly, "Also … When I was summarizing the information just now, I noticed several people's testimonies. According to Zhang Jingru's colleagues and friends, before Zhang Jingru was killed, Zhang Jingru had indeed shown some unusual behavior! "
Zeng Ke pointed to his computer and said, "One of my colleagues said that she had talked to Zhang Jingru one day before the murder, but Zhang Jingru seemed to be absent-minded. Zhang Jingru didn't hear her until she repeated her question several times. However, Zhang Jingru didn't answer her question, as if she was thinking about something important.
Zeng Ke then said, "Also, their department manager said that one day before the murder, Zhang Jingru signed the wrong loan form. Although it was not a big deal, Zhang Jingru had never made such a mistake before."
Zeng Ke then said, "One night before the murder, Zhang Jingru had a classmate party. She had said that she would go, but she didn't go. She didn't even explain why she didn't go, which made her classmates unhappy. All of these signs show that Zhang Jingru must have something on her mind, and judging from her character, it was not a trivial matter!"
