Chapter 128: Chapter 128

"Boss, the southern suburb isn’t close from here. There are many rural leisure spots where you can play cards, fish, and have fun."

"Last year, I went there with a few friends."

"Perhaps the murderer has been there before."

Li Jian took another look at the photos on the display screen and said, "Regardless, this red clay is very special; it’s a highly valuable clue."

"Wan, print out the photos of Song Can and Chen Feng."

"Tomorrow morning, the two of us will head to the rural leisure spots in the southern suburb."

"Mr. Li, okay! I’ll go print them right away."

Then, Li Jian stood up and patted Jiang An on the shoulder.

"You two should also rest early."

After Li Jian left the forensic office, Zhang Yean yawned.

"I’ll rest in the on-call room tonight as well."

Jiang An said, "Senior, you go to the on-call room first. I’ll sleep a bit later."

Zhang Yean hesitated for a moment, then yawned again.

She said, "Your health is your capital in the revolution, don’t overextend yourself."

"I’m going to sleep first."

With that, Zhang Yean waved her hand and left the forensic office.

The only light on was in the forensic office of the criminal investigation team.

Jiang An sat in front of the computer display, carefully observing the scene investigation photos of building 5.

In his view, scene investigation is the starting point for all criminal cases and a crucial source of evidence.

Only by thoroughly understanding the scene can the entire case be seen clearly.

Jiang An opened the first scene photo, a general view of the body.

In the picture, the decapitated body lay on its back.

Except both lower limbs had multiple fractures, with the legs bent in an arc.

This was the result of great force.

The clothes on the victim Liu Jun were partially torn, revealing skin and muscle.

Indeed, for someone doing physical labor, his muscles were very robust.

With Liu Jun’s height of almost 1.8 meters in mind, Jiang An thought.

If the murderer didn’t attack from behind, it would probably be challenging to take him down.

Then, Jiang An scrolled the mouse to continue observing other photos.

From the unit entrance of Building 5, stairs, the 10th floor platform, to the windowsill...

Jiang An carefully observed all the photos, not missing a single detail.

In this round of photo browsing, Jiang An memorized all the details in his mind. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NoveI-Fire.ɴet

minutes later, he stood up and paced back and forth in the forensic office, the case information swirling in his mind.

Regarding the time of the crime, the murderer’s entry to the 10th floor was very coincidental, almost after Liu Jun arrived on the 10th floor.

This fully illustrates that the murderer was very familiar with Liu Jun’s whereabouts that night.

In terms of entering the main crime scene, the murderer deliberately avoided surveillance cameras by climbing in through the rear windowsill.

This fully shows that the murderer was quite familiar with the layout of this construction site.

Upon this thought, Jiang An suddenly realized an important key point.

The victim Liu Jun mentioned feeling thirsty and went to Building 5 to get a cup after entering the site.

From this aspect, could it indicate that the murderer might be inside the construction site?

However, considering this site is not completely closed, despite the prohibition on outsiders entering, some sections of the wall are quite low and not difficult to climb over.

How likely is it if the murderer followed in from outside the site?

Or perhaps the murderer entered the site in advance, waited, and then followed through?

Is the main crime scene in Building 5 simply coincidental?

For a moment, many possibilities emerged in Jiang An’s mind.

He took a sip from the coffee on the desk and continued to think.

Suddenly, Jiang An thought of something: on the 10th floor plane, there were a lot of rebar on the ground, although their lengths varied, concentrated at a corner.

The rebar found in that pile of bricks matched the characteristics of a murder weapon.

Clearly, this murder weapon was sourced from the scene ground.

If the murderer committed a premeditated crime, why didn’t they prepare the murder weapon in advance but instead temporarily used the rebar from the scene?

If it wasn’t premeditated, why did the murderer deliberately avoid the cameras and meet the victim Liu Jun at a specific time and space?

This is obviously contradictory!

From the way the crime was committed, the murderer clearly had two contradictory criminal mindsets.

Immediately, Jiang An’s mind once again rolled over all the case information.

Repeatedly thinking through it many times.

Jiang An still did not find a reasonable explanation.

Li Jian found Chen He.

He said, "Regarding the case at the Jiangtai Construction Site, please lead the team to investigate Chen Feng’s wife, Wu Juan. She has some connection to the victim Liu Jun."

"Captain, I’ve heard about that case. What’s the situation now?"

Li Jian shook his head, raised his wrist, and looked at his watch.

"It’s not looking good at the moment. After the investigation today, we’ll consolidate the details."

"Mr. Li, okay! Rest assured, I’ll take care of it."

Then, Chen He led another officer from the criminal investigation team and set off.

Li Jian turned and said, "Wan, let’s get ready to go."

"Boss, I’ll just take a quick break and be right there."

"I’ll wait for you at the open-air parking lot."

Li Jian dropped a sentence and went straight down.

After 2 hours, Li Jian and Wan drove to the southern suburb of Jiang City.

Wan grasped the steering wheel and slowed down the car.

"A strong rustic atmosphere is coming our way."

He turned his head and asked, "Boss, there are quite a few rural leisure spots here. Where should we start?"
