Chapter 147 Chasing the murderer
Chapter 147: Chasing the Murderer
"What? You were in a car accident?"
Gao Fei's voice attracted a lot of attention.
Bai Yanliang was a little helpless. He rushed to the police station early this morning to attend a case analysis meeting, and he also had an appointment with Chen Huaiyu and Feng Xiuxue at two o'clock in the afternoon.
Although Feng Yiru didn't want Bai Yanliang to have much contact with Feng Xiuxue, Bai Yanliang still called Feng Xiuxue and asked her to help arrange a meeting with Chen Huaiyu. Feng Xiuxue agreed readily.
As for the car accident, it was entirely because Gao Fei saw the scratches on Bai Yanliang's arm and asked about it out of curiosity.
It has to be said that as a forensic doctor he is very sensitive to scars.
"Yanliang, what's going on?" Even Yang Wanlong looked over with a serious expression.
Bai Yanliang smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. A truck's handbrake was not pulled firmly and it slid down the slope. I scraped my skin a little when I dodged it."
"Is it an accident?"
Lin Wan frowned, which was rare for her. She subconsciously thought that this was not such a coincidence.
"Could it be... that someone doesn't want Assistant Director Bai to continue investigating?" Tang Guo said.
Her voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone.
Yang Wanlong was not surprised by this kind of thing. During his own police career, he had also encountered situations where large forces took extreme measures to interfere with police investigations.
But he didn't expect that, if it wasn't an accident, the person chosen by the other party this time was not a police officer, but a specially hired consultant to assist in the investigation.
"Yanliang, otherwise... you should temporarily withdraw from the investigation of this case, for your own safety..."
Yang Wanlong was still safe and sound and hadn't spit it out yet when he saw Bai Yanliang's serious gaze.
"Uncle Yang, I'm fine."
Bai Yanliang's gaze was very clear. Perhaps it was because he himself could not feel emotions, his eyes were always crystal clear.
How could such a person... possibly commit the crime of murdering his brother?
This thought suddenly flashed through Yang Wanlong's mind.
Then, a smile finally broke out on his serious face, and he nodded to Bai Yanliang: "Okay, then let's start the case analysis meeting..."
Bai Yanliang lowered his head and listened quietly to everyone's analysis reports.
He knew very well that although this was not an accident, it was not the murderer's revenge or threat. It came from a mysterious member of a similar space who was very likely related to the Mist Group.
"We have investigated Ma Junsheng's case. We did find a bottle of orange juice with an overdose of sleeping pills in it in the refrigerator of the deceased Ai Qing. What he said was true. He was also captured on camera by the surveillance camera in Ai Qing's apartment."
"Jiang Qiao is a strong suspect. He meets all the conditions for committing the crime, but... we haven't found any crucial evidence."
"How far is the hotel where Jiang Qiao stayed overnight from Ai Qing's company?" Bai Yanliang suddenly asked.
"If you walk, it will take about half an hour, and if you drive, it will only take four or five minutes." Lin Wan replied.
Bai Yanliang lowered his head in thought and did not speak. Gao Fei glanced at him and said, "There is another very important piece of information. After the autopsy, we found that the deceased died of suffocation first, and then cement was poured into his mouth."
"what?!"
Yang Wanlong stood up suddenly. If this was the case, the course of this case would be very different.
Bai Yanliang finally understood where the strange sense of disharmony that he had always felt came from.
"There are two or more murderers."
Bai Yanliang's voice echoed in the conference room which had suddenly become quiet.
Everyone has a certain degree of understanding about Bai Yanliang. Although he looks very young, he is a very reliable person. He never speaks without a purpose. As long as he makes a speculation, there must be reasons to support his speculation.
Everyone looked at Bai Yanliang, waiting for him to tell them the reason this time.
Bai Yanliang did not keep the audience in suspense. He walked to the projector and played the photos of the deceased taken at the scene.
"Did anyone notice anything strange?"
Gao Fei tilted his head left and right and looked for a long time. Although he had dealt with corpses many times, this corpse was already a very good one. What was strange about it?
Tang Guo, a young policewoman who had just joined the police force, suddenly muttered after taking a look: "The murderer combs his ponytail better than me..."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this whispered mutter, then they looked at the photo again and immediately understood what Bai Yanliang meant.
"Yes! When the body of the deceased Ai Qing was discovered, no matter the angle, posture, clothes, expression, or even hairstyle, it was perfect, as if it was made according to a set of strict standards. This is not something that ordinary people can do..." Gao Fei exclaimed.
"Photographer." When Lin Wan said this, she subconsciously glanced at Bai Yanliang.
She suddenly remembered what Bai Yanliang said at the crime scene: The deceased's posture was beautiful.
Maybe... he noticed it then?
"Ma Junsheng! He is a photographer! He knows how to pose for the best angle and the most beautiful posture!" Gao Fei was as happy as if he had solved a case, but he suddenly remembered that Bai Yanliang said there were two or more murderers.
Are there other murderers? Gao Fei was confused again.
Bai Yanliang played the next photo, which was the facial details of the deceased.
"The person who killed the deceased and the person who poured cement into the deceased's mouth were not the same person. The person who removed the deceased's makeup, changed his clothes, and combed his hair was a perfectionist. He was meticulous and had a kind of almost paranoid pursuit of beauty. The person who poured cement into the deceased's throat was a rough, barbaric, and careless person. He made cement all over the deceased's teeth. Although he closed the deceased's mouth and did not destroy the overall beauty, he still stained the details, which the former could not tolerate. These two completely different personalities cannot appear in the same person, unless the other person suffers from schizophrenia."
Bai Yanliang's voice echoed in the conference room.
Then he said, "We can even make a bolder guess: one person killed Ai Qing, another person removed her makeup and changed her clothes, and another person poured cement into her mouth to vent her anger. On the night of the incident, three people may have appeared at the entrance of the media building at different times."
Listening to Bai Yanliang's voice, everyone couldn't help but think of a strange picture. A beautiful female radio anchor was suffocated to death at the door of the company after get off work, and then abandoned her body and ran away. Later, a person who came to find her for some purpose saw her dead on the ground and dressed her up as his favorite look. Then, another person who hated her so much and even wanted to kill her appeared. He brought cement from somewhere and poured it into her mouth, as if this would make her shut up forever...
