Li Rui had also thought of this point. He frowned and said, "I'm not sure yet, but this suspicious point can be used. Maybe it can help Captain Chen solve the case."
Song Chaoyang nodded and motioned for Chen Kuanrong to continue.
Chen Kuanrong continued, "The murderer probably drove Xu Shenghua's car to the murder scene after knocking him out. He left the victim's car on the side of the road and deliberately created the scene of him driving himself to commit suicide. It was because of the car parked on the side of the road that the patrol officers of the North District Public Security Bureau found the scene, which led to the so-called suicide scene being discovered by us. However, after our technical investigation personnel carefully examined the victim's car, they didn't find any traces left behind, including fingerprints, hair, footprints, etc. This means that before the murderer got out of the car, he cleaned up all the traces in the car so that the police would think that there were no outsiders in the car, only Xu Shenghua, and that he drove over himself. Thus, this proves that it was a suicide. Unfortunately, the murderer thought that he was smart and wiped the steering wheel clean, leaving not even a single trace of Xu Shenghua's fingerprints. Isn't this just a cover up? If Xu Shenghua really drove himself to commit suicide, how could there be no fingerprints left on the steering wheel? Even if there weren't any left behind, there would be some left behind from before. "
Hearing this, Zhou Yuansong commented, "The murderer is clever, but not intelligent."
Chen Kuanrong said, "Of course, we can't rule out another possibility, which is that the murderer didn't deliberately clean up the traces in the car, but before he got into the car, he wore knitted gloves, shoe covers, and a hat. In short, he tried his best to avoid leaving any traces in the car. The reason why Xu Shenghua's fingerprints were not left behind on the steering wheel is because the murderer unknowingly wiped away all of Xu Shenghua's fingerprints when he was driving. Of course, the murderer didn't notice this. Compared to the previous hypothesis, the probability of this possibility being true is slightly higher because in the latter part of my inference, there is also evidence that the murderer wore shoe covers. "
Song Chaoyang, Du Minsheng, and Li Rui were all fascinated by the story, and no one interrupted to ask any more questions.
Chen Kuanrong continued, "In addition, the well where the victim fell was found to be about thirty meters away from the roadside. However, there were no normal footprints on the field between the victim's vehicle and the well. There were only a few shallow footprints of Xu Shenghua's leather shoes on the soft part of the field. On both sides of the footprints, there was a continuous dragging trail. After technical analysis, it was determined that there were at least two murderers, and both of them were wearing shoe covers. They carried the victim to the well and deliberately dragged the victim to avoid leaving any footprints. In order to make the police believe that Xu Shenghua walked to the well and jumped down by himself, they took off Xu Shenghua's leather shoes and left a few footprints on the ground. That was the origin of the footprints. This also showed that the murderer had a rich anti-detection ability. But unfortunately, the murderer once again made a smart mistake. First, the deliberately made footprints of the deceased were too shallow and did not conform to normal footprints at all. Second, although the traces of dragging were not eye-catching, it was too artificial and attracted our attention. "
Song Chaoyang praised, "Good analysis and investigation. But Captain Chen, looking back, how do you explain Xu Shenghua's handwritten suicide note? He wrote the suicide note himself, but he was killed. Isn't this too strange? "
Chen Kuanrong said, "Regarding this point, we don't have any answers yet. Currently, we have sent the police to investigate Xu Shenghua's home and other places where he appeared. Hopefully, we can find some clues. At the same time, we are also looking for the traffic video of Xu Shenghua's car last night. We should be able to find something. "
Zhou Yuansong interrupted and said, "In the past, we have experienced similar cases of suicide. The victim was killed, but before he was killed, he was forced to write a suicide note by the murderer. The murderer made it look like a suicide and misled the police in the direction of the investigation. But in this case, the victim would usually lose control of his emotions and his handwriting would be very different from his usual handwriting. It would be easy for the police to identify the flaws."
Chen Kuanrong looked at him and said, "Director, it's not all like this. In the 1990s, my master solved a similar case. The victim was also killed by someone. Before the murderer killed him, he forced him to write a suicide note. Of course, he refused to write it, so the murderer tortured him. He couldn't stand the torture and had to write it. But the first draft he wrote was very ugly and was completely different from his usual handwriting. The murderer was furious and threatened him to write better so that he could die a good death. Otherwise, he would fry him with a pot of oil. The victim had no choice but to write another draft, which was the same as his previous handwriting. The murderer didn't wait for him to finish before strangling him to death. "
Song Chaoyang, Du Minsheng, and Li Rui were all shocked when they heard this. Li Rui even almost had goosebumps. He thought to himself that he couldn't stay with the police. Who knew what kind of cruel and violent cases they would talk about? The brave ones would also be shocked when they heard this, and the timid ones wouldn't be able to sleep at night. They might even be traumatized.
Zhou Yuansong naturally didn't know what he was thinking. He was curious about the case Chen Kuanrong was talking about. He asked, "How did your teacher solve the case in the end?"
Chen Kuanrong said, "It's still because of that suicide note. Although the victim had finished writing it and made it look the same as before, she was too sad and painful. She cried when she wrote it, and a few drops of tears fell on it. The murderer didn't take it to heart at the time, but when my teacher saw the suicide note, he realized that something was wrong. This is because when a person writes a suicide note before committing suicide, unless the situation is special, they will be calm or even calm. They won't cry. If they can cry, it means that they still have feelings for the world and don't want to die. Because of this, my teacher guessed that it was a homicide and started an investigation. In the end, he caught the murderer. "
Song Chaoyang wasn't in the mood to listen to such a scary story. He coughed and said, "Captain Chen, when you investigate this case, you can talk to the city's Education Bureau Chief, Sang Tongguang. As Xu Shenghua was under investigation before his death, and he ran out when his freedom was restricted, I think we can investigate this properly. There must be something suspicious."
Chen Kuanrong nodded and said, "Okay, we will talk to Chief Sang."
Song Chaoyang thought for a while and didn't have any other questions. He stood up and thanked them. "Sorry to trouble you, Captain Chen. I hope you can solve the case as soon as possible and give justice to Xu Shenghua. Although he made a mistake, the way he died was too tragic. "
Zhou Yuansong and Chen Kuanrong knew that he was going to send them off, so they stood up and said a few words of courtesy. Then, Song Chaoyang and Du Minsheng personally saw them out.
After the two left, Song Chaoyang returned to his office and let out a long sigh of relief. He said to Du Minsheng with joy, "Previously, I thought that Xu Shenghua committed suicide because I wanted to investigate him, and I was quite upset. Now that I know that he didn't commit suicide but was murdered, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. But, sigh, I didn't kill him, but he died because of me. I still feel very guilty. "
Du Minsheng smiled bitterly and said, "There's no other way. It happened, so you don't have to take it to heart. Maybe the murderer had wanted to kill Xu Shenghua for a long time, and just found the opportunity to do so now. "
Song Chaoyang suddenly thought of something and asked, "Do you think it's possible that Xu Shenghua was killed by the husband of one of the female teachers he bullied?"
Du Minsheng was stunned for a moment. After a while, he nodded and said, "That's possible. I really didn't think of that …"
He stayed for a while, then left with his thermos flask.
Song Chaoyang saw that Li Rui was still holding a copy of Xu Shenghua's suicide note. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Hurry up and shred that piece of paper. It's too inauspicious. Just thinking about it makes me shudder."
Li Rui smiled and walked to the corner of the room. He stuffed the copy of the suicide note into the shredder.
Song Chaoyang sighed and said, "I was in a good mood, but now this matter has turned into such a mess. Sigh, how depressing." Li Rui said, "Boss, don't be depressed. This can only be said to be Xu Shenghua's bad luck. It's God's will, and it has nothing to do with you. How about this, since you said you wanted to go for a walk, let's go to the Bodhi Temple and have a chat with Fa Yu. Other than fortune-telling, his words are also quite interesting. I guarantee you'll be in a good mood. " Song Chaoyang nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes. I said so just now. Let's go, hehe."
Li Rui found an inconspicuous Santana car from the secretary's office. He pulled Song Chaoyang, who was disguised as an ordinary person, and drove to the Bodhi Temple, which was located 15 kilometers west of the city.
The Bodhi Temple was the most famous temple in Qingyang City. It was built in the early years of the Ming Dynasty and was originally called the "Bodhi Temple". During the Jiajing Dynasty, it was damaged because of the Emperor's worship of Taoism. After rebuilding, it was renamed the Bodhi Temple. After five hundred years of construction and development, it now had five courtyards and six halls. There were more than a hundred monks in the temple. They relied on the support provided by the Bureau of Religions, the dozens of acres of farmland outside the temple to grow crops, donations from believers, and money from tourists to make a living. The city had always wanted to develop this large temple as a protected commercial development. To put it bluntly, it was to collect entrance fees to increase the temple's income. However, the old abbot of the temple never agreed, so the matter was left unsettled.
Li Rui drove Song Chaoyang to the small square in front of the Bodhi Temple and parked the car.
