False evidence

Chapter 171 Evidence (Part 2)

Even though Yu Jilin is a lawyer, he was momentarily stunned by my barrage of questions.

Instead, Kuang Shichang said, "You said it yourself, there are surveillance cameras everywhere in that neighborhood..."

Before he could finish speaking, I shouted, "There are always blind spots in surveillance cameras! You and Yu Jilin are friends, and this isn't your first time at his house. You know where the blind spots are! You've already chosen two targets! One is your good friend's wife! The other is Deng Wanzhen from the villa in front!"

Yu Jilin's expression changed drastically. He turned to Kuang Shichang but was speechless.

"Where's the evidence?!" Kuang Shichang, seemingly at his breaking point, shouted, "Check the surveillance footage! Check the surveillance footage!"

"No need for surveillance! I told you surveillance cameras have blind spots. You evaded the cameras, but you left behind evidence!"

I suddenly pointed at him: "The evidence is on you, and it's evidence from two murder cases! It's all on you!"

"You're talking nonsense..."

"Captain Gao! Call the forensic investigator!"

While Gao was on the phone, Cao Xinyun whispered to me, "Do you really have evidence? Otherwise, you and the brigade leader will be in deep trouble."

I pointed at Kuang Shichang, not lowering my voice at all: "Aren't you good at judging people? Look at him now, he's seen through the ruse!"

Cao Xinyun stared at Kuang Shichang for a moment, then nodded: "But he doesn't seem to know where the evidence is."

After Gao He finished his call, I pointed to Kuang Shichang again: "Evidence one, it's on his left thumb."

I haven't seen photos of Deng Wanzhen's autopsy, but if the area where her throat was cut was on the left side of her neck, like Fang Ling's, then there's a greater than 50% chance the killer was left-handed.

The murderer used an old-fashioned double-edged razor blade. When Monkey rushed in to save people, the murderer couldn't possibly have remained calm; in resisting, he inevitably cut his own finger with the blade!

Upon hearing this, Gao He immediately went over and grabbed Kuang Shichang's left hand, which was trying to shrink under the covers. Although his thumb was not bandaged, there was indeed a cut on it.

Gao He directly handcuffed his left hand to the bed leg.

Seeing that Kuang Shichang still looked aggrieved, I sneered: "A murderer who thinks he's highly intelligent wouldn't be stupid enough to dispose of the murder weapon carelessly. If I were you, I would find someone else, a complete stranger, to dispose of the murder weapon for me."

You went to the real estate agency after the incident, probably while looking at property information, calling your lawyer friend, and looking for an opportunity to hide the razor blade in a corner of the agency.

Or let me put it this way: I smoke. If I were you, smoking while on the phone, and the ash or cigarette accidentally fell to the ground...

I quickly apologized to the clerk and knelt down to pick up the cigarette butt. In that moment, I discreetly slipped the razor blade under the leg of my desk.

"And then?" Kuang Shichang seemed to have become a different person at this moment, looking at me with great interest.

I laughed: "You underestimate the police. Do you think that just wiping it a couple of times or rinsing it with water will make it impossible to detect your DNA on the blade?"

Kuang Shichang also laughed: "I've said before that I like retro styles, and I do like using old-fashioned double-edged razors."

I said, "I understand what you mean. There is your DNA on the blade, but it wasn't found at the scene, so it still can't be proven that you are the murderer."

"I am indeed not the murderer." Kuang Shichang shook his head solemnly.

I looked at Gao He.

Gao He shook his head: "Those who think they are smart are often the most foolish. You've already misled him."

Gao He wanted to continue, but I stopped him and said to Kuang Shichang with a smile, "You seem to have forgotten what I just said. The razor blade isn't the point. The point is that the evidence in both murder cases is on you. In Deng Wanzhen's case, you first went to Yu Jilin's house. While he was busy with renovations, and also during a change in weather, you followed the wall along the blind spots of the surveillance cameras that you had already observed, and made your way to Deng Wanzhen's house."

I trust your speed, but due to time constraints, you must act quickly. At that point, your actions may deviate from their intended course.

You might be running along the gap between the green trees and the outer wall, crouching low, but when you're almost at your destination, you get anxious and look up, only to be snagged on the scalp by the electric fence and barbed wire strung on the wall.

Electric fences are generally not electrified, but barbed wire can definitely snag a clump of hair or even cut your scalp. In half a month, the wound would have healed long ago. But even if the scalp scar is shallow, the police can still determine how the injury occurred.

Seeing that Kuang Shichang's face had become blank, but he still did not appear panicked.

Just then, Forensic Heroes and Jiang Banxia arrived.

I greeted Jiang Banxia, ​​then turned to Kuang Shichang with a bright smile.

Kuang Shichang couldn't help but shake his head: "Your story is fascinating... Since the police suspect me, I'm willing to cooperate. The test results will prove everything."

"Ah."

I nodded and turned to Kuang Shichang's parents, who were standing to the side: "Do you believe your son is the murderer?"

Kuang Shichang's father immediately shook his head: "My son would never break the law!"

My expression immediately changed, and I said sternly, "Remember what you just said! And let me tell you an old saying—it is the father's fault if he raises a child without teaching him!"

"Sanqi!" Gao He suddenly pulled me away.

I stared at him, and Gao He stepped forward and whispered, "Don't go too far!"

I leaned closer to him and said, "Sister Ling has been good to me. She was injured so badly. I not only want the murderer to pay with his life, but I also want the other family to be destroyed!"

Before Gao He could react, I turned to Kuang Shichang and asked, "Does your back hurt?"

Kuang Shichang first sneered, then suddenly seemed to realize something, and his face turned ashen.

I said to Jiang Banxia and the two forensic witnesses, "You examined the crime scene and recorded Monkey Brother's... and Zhao Wenqiang's testimony. He attacked the murderer with a U-lock; there was blood on the lock's head!"

At this point, Kuang Shichang finally struggled desperately, but his left hand was handcuffed and there were many police officers present.

Two police officers and two forensic investigators worked together to turn him over, and when they lifted his hospital gown, they saw a triangular wound on his back with the skin broken in the middle...

As Kuang Shichang collapsed, his elderly father also collapsed to the ground.

I looked at my wife, who was crying in his arms. Before I could say anything, Cao Xinyun covered my mouth and forcefully pushed me out of the ward.

"Don't let the misfortune befall his wife and children!" Cao Xinyun shouted.

"Their adopted son almost killed my sister!"

Cao Xinyun and I stared at each other for a moment, then he abruptly pushed me into a corner and whispered:

"Do you remember what Tong Xiangnan said to you last? 'Be careful! Those two old people are honest! Even if you don't break the law, will your conscience be at peace if you really kill them?'"
