When Han Bin and Zhao Yu returned to the branch office, it was already five o 'clock in the afternoon.
Tian Li, Li Hui, and Sun Xiaopeng also returned to the office one after another.
Han Bin gathered everyone for a meeting.
"Tell me, how's your investigation going?"
"We went to Liang Zhibo's house. His wife has divorced him and remarried. His daughter lives with his ex-wife," Li Hui said.
"Liang Zhibo's mother died two years ago. His father lives with his brother's family."
"Which family members of Liang Zhibo's have you visited?" Han Bin asked.
"We made statements with Liang Zhibo's ex-wife and his father. They didn't have any news of Liang Zhibo. At the same time, we also visited some neighbors around Liang Zhibo's house. They didn't find Liang Zhibo back either," Li Hui said.
"Are there any new clues?"
"Liang Zhibo's ex-wife didn't say anything. Her answers were similar to the original statement. However, Liang Zhibo's father kept saying that his son was wronged. He said that Liang Zhibo is a filial and law-abiding person. He would never kill someone," Li Hui said.
"Did he provide any evidence?"
"No evidence at all. He just said these two sentences back and forth." Li Hui shook his head.
"Tian Li, how's the investigation going on your side?"
"I checked the communication records of Liang Zhibo's family members. So far, we haven't found any problematic contacts. The blood fingerprint has also been sent for comparison. Reuven said that he's busy these two days. It'll probably take another two days for the results to come out," Tian Li said.
"In other words, your investigation on Liang Zhibo hasn't made any substantial progress?" Han Bin asked.
Li Hui chuckled. "If Liang Zhibo was easy to investigate, he would have been caught long ago. Captain Zheng wouldn't have to wait for us to deal with him."
"Team Leader Han, do you have any clues on your side?" Tian Li asked.
Han Bin pointed at Zhao Ming and asked him to briefly explain the statements made by Lv Xiaojie and Lv Jiaping.
After the narration, Han Bin glanced at everyone. "Do you think Lv Jiaping is the murderer?"
"Brother Bin, what you're saying is that Lv Jiaping forced Lv Jiawei to write a will and then killed Lv Jiawei in order to get this homestead?" Li Hui analyzed.
"It can't be that cruel," Zhao Ming said. "After all, he is her brother. I think they look quite similar."
"Solving a case requires bold guesses and careful evidence. If you have any thoughts, you can tell me." Han Bin stood up and poured a cup of tea.
"Does Lv Jiawei have any other inheritance besides the homestead?" Sun Xiaopeng asked.
"No. It is said that he has a factory and owes hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. The only valuable thing is a homestead," Zhao Ming said.
"If Lv Jiaping really killed for the homestead, why didn't she get the homestead earlier? Why did she wait until this year to file the lawsuit?" Sun Xiaopeng continued to ask.
"Because this year, there was news that Xidiying Village is going to expropriate the homestead. That homestead is worth more than a million," Zhao Ming explained.
Li Hui shook his head. "I think it's because the idea of killing someone for the homestead is not established. No one is willing to renovate the homestead after someone died. They all think it's bad luck and can't sell it at all. If it wasn't for the land expropriation, this homestead is probably not worth hundreds of thousands. Otherwise, it would have been sold by those creditors to pay off the debt."
"If Lv Jiaping's motive for killing someone is not established, it means that Lv Jiawei wrote this suicide note voluntarily. Then why did he write this suicide note?" Han Bin asked again.
"Could it be that Lv Jiawei and his sister had a close relationship, and his son was young, so he was worried that the property would fall into his wife's hands, so he wanted to leave the property to his sister so that she could take care of her son?" Sun Xiaopeng said.
"Even if this reason makes sense, it can only prove the legitimacy of the suicide note, but it still doesn't make sense. Lv Jiawei was young when he died. Very few people would write a suicide note at this age. What's more, he died a month later," Han Bin said.
Everyone fell into deep thought.
"Could it be that Lv Jiaping saw that the homestead was valuable, so she asked someone to imitate Lv Jiawei's handwriting and write this suicide note?" Zhao Ming said.
"I've seen the suicide note. The handwriting matches the information that Lv Jiawei filled in. It's not fake," Han Bin said.
"Could those materials be fake?" Li Hui asked.
"Those materials are stamped with the seals of the industrial and commercial department and the tax department. And the government must have a copy. The court must have checked the files before the trial. This possibility is very small," Han Bin said.
Li Hui thought for a while and thought of several possibilities, but there was no reasonable explanation.
And this suicide note was the key and fuse to re-investigate the case.
After a moment of silence, Han Bin continued, "I have another guess, but there is no definite evidence to support it."
"Then you tell us. Let's brainstorm together. Three heads are better than Zhuge Liang." Li Hui didn't like to be kept in suspense.
"After my analysis, there is only one hypothesis that can explain the source of the suicide note. That is, the time when this suicide note was written was not July 15, 2009, but after the news of the land acquisition spread. Only then would it have its value. Otherwise, when inheriting the homestead, one would also inherit the hundreds of thousands of debts left by Lv Jiawei. The two offset each other and have no value," Han Bin said.
"How is this possible? Lv Jiawei has been dead for ten years. Can he still jump out of the ground?" Sun Xiaopeng shrank his neck.
"This is just a bold assumption of mine. If it wasn't Lv Jiawei who died, would all the doubts be explained?" Han Bin said.
"But there was a DNA test at the time. This can't be fake." Zhao Ming raised doubts.
"If you were the original investigators and Lv Jiawei and Zhang Shufeng died, who would you look for as a DNA comparison sample to verify the identity of the two people?" Han Bin asked.
"It must be a direct relative. If it was Zhang Shufeng, Li Yonghong and Lv Xiaojie could do it. If it was Lv Jiawei, he could only look for Lv Xiaojie to do a sample comparison." Zhao Ming said.
"That is to say, the deceased must be Lv Xiaojie's father, but not necessarily Lv Jiaping's younger brother." Han Bin said.
"Brother Bin, you mean that Lv Xiaojie is not Lv Jiawei's biological son." Zhao Ming suddenly realized.
"Zhao Ming, you've seen Lv Xiaojie and Lv Jiaping. Do you think they look alike?" Han Bin asked.
Zhao Ming thought for a moment. "No."
Han Bin pointed to Lv Jiawei's photo on the whiteboard. "Look at this photo and see who looks more alike."
"Lv Jiaping and Lv Jiawei both have big faces, thick eyebrows, and tall noses. They look more like a family." Zhao Ming compared them.
"Tsk tsk." Li Hui smacked his lips. "Brother Bin's words, although there is no evidence, all the problems can be easily solved by analyzing this conjecture."
Lv Jiawei and Lv Xiaojie were not biological father and son, so Lv Jiawei did not die.
It was also because they were not biological father and son that Lv Jiawei would rather give his inheritance to his sister.
It was also because Lv Jiawei did not die that when the news of the land acquisition came out, he could write a "foresighted will."
Of course, no matter how reasonable the conjecture was, it still needed evidence to prove it.
