Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 758 Autopsy Results!

The forensic autopsy results essentially confirmed Jia Dongming's judgment. Jia Dongming quickly took the autopsy report from the forensic doctor, carefully read its contents, and handed it to Captain Peng standing beside him, saying happily, "Captain Peng! Weren't you worried about not having any leads? Well, here's one!"

Just now at the meeting, Jia Dongming mentioned his judgment, and now the forensic autopsy results have proven that Jia Dongming's judgment was correct. This means that they finally have a specific direction for the investigation.

Captain Peng took the autopsy report from Jia Dongming, carefully read through its contents, and immediately said to Jia Dongming, "Captain Jia! Since the time of death of Xue Chaoyang and his wife was between 7 pm and 9 pm, it means that the murderer entered Xue Chaoyang's house during this time period."

"Given the layout of the houses in the hardware factory's residential area, if the murderer had been carrying a large bag of things to Xue Chaoyang's house during this time period, someone in the neighborhood must have seen him. As long as we follow this clue, we will definitely be able to find out the murderer's identity."

As soon as Captain Peng finished speaking, he immediately picked up his briefcase from his desk and said to Jia Dongming impatiently, "Captain Jia! Now that we have a direction for our investigation, we should act sooner rather than later. Let's go to the hardware factory's residential area again and see if we can find any valuable clues."

Around 9 a.m., Jia Dongming and Captain Peng arrived at the hardware factory's residential area again in the branch office's jeep.

After several hours of clearing, the ruins of the tenement building had been cleared by the clearing team. When Deputy Factory Director Zhou, who was in charge of directing the clearing work, saw Jia Dongming and Captain Peng arrive, he immediately stepped forward and asked them politely, "Captain Jia! Captain Peng! We have organized personnel to clear the explosion site. Have you found any valuable clues on the police side?"

Upon hearing Deputy Factory Director Zhou's question and looking at the cleared ruins before him, Captain Peng solemnly explained to Deputy Factory Director Zhou, "Factory Director Zhou! Our investigation has indeed yielded some results, but we need to visit all the residents around the tenement building before we can definitively determine if our investigation direction is correct."

Upon hearing the information provided by Captain Peng, Deputy Factory Director Zhou learned that the police had already obtained some leads. He happily said to the two men, "Captain Jia! Captain Peng! Is there anything you need our factory's cooperation with? If so, please let us know, and we will fully cooperate with your investigation."

Upon hearing Deputy Factory Director Zhou's assurance, and considering that the perpetrator of the bombing might be hiding inside the hardware factory, Captain Peng, for the sake of secrecy, politely replied, "Factory Director Zhou! You've got it figured out. If we need your cooperation in any work, we certainly won't hesitate to ask."

"Team Leader! We've investigated all the residents' information in the tenement building." After Deputy Factory Director Zhou left, a policeman quickly walked up to Team Leader Peng, respectfully handed him a notebook, and reported respectfully.

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Captain Peng did not reach out to take the notebook from him. Instead, he solemnly instructed Liu Bing, "Liu Bing! I won't take the notebook. Just tell me verbally about the situation of the residents in the tenement building."

Upon hearing Captain Peng's instructions, Liu Bing immediately reported to Captain Peng and Jia Dongming, "Captain Peng! Captain Jia! This tenement building houses a total of thirty-six households, including the head of the finance department, the deputy head of the security department, the workshop director of workshop one, the workshop director of workshop three, and the director of the hardware factory's labor union!" Hearing Liu Bing's report and learning about the residents of the tenement building, and considering the identities of the deceased Xue Chaoyang and his wife, Jia Dongming's face immediately showed a puzzled expression. He asked Liu Bing seriously, "Liu Bing! From what you just said, besides Xue Chaoyang and his wife being workers, all the other residents in this tenement building are managers of the hardware factory. Have you found out how Xue Chaoyang managed to move into this tenement building?"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's question, Liu Bing immediately nodded and replied, "Captain Jia! When I learned about all the residents of the tenement building, I also noticed this. So I asked the head of the logistics department of the hardware factory about this matter. According to the head of the logistics department, Xue Chaoyang is an outstanding individual in the hardware factory, and the factory allocated this apartment to him as a reward."

When asked about the explanation given by the head of the logistics department of the hardware factory, Jia Dongming's first impression was that the explanation was reasonable and well-founded. However, for some reason, Jia Dongming felt that something was not quite right, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Since he couldn't figure out what was wrong, Jia Dongming simply stopped thinking about it and suggested to Captain Peng, "Captain Peng! Since there are still people in the houses around this tenement building, let's split up and go door-to-door!"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's suggestion, Captain Peng immediately nodded and replied, "Alright, Captain Jia! Then we'll each lead a group, focusing on the tenement building, and visit the homes of the residents near the tenement building."

Jia Dongming first chose a row of low houses directly opposite the tenement building. Although the explosion in the early hours of this morning did not destroy this row of low houses, the shock wave generated by the explosion blew off many of the roof tiles of the low houses. So at this time, the residents living here are all busy repairing their houses.

As Jia Dongming approached the first house, he saw a middle-aged woman tidying up and immediately greeted her with a smile, "Ma'am! Can I ask you something?"

The middle-aged woman who was clearing away the broken tiles heard Jia Dongming's question and saw the uniform he was wearing. She immediately smiled and asked Jia Dongming, "Officer! What do you want to know?"

Upon hearing the middle-aged woman's question, Jia Dongming smiled and asked her, "Ma'am, between 7 and 9 pm last night, did you see anyone go to Xue Chaoyang's house?"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's question, the middle-aged woman subconsciously shook her head and replied, "Officer! I have a whole family to take care of. At the time you mentioned, I was busy washing clothes at home and didn't even leave the house."

Upon hearing the middle-aged woman's reply, Jia Dongming did not feel embarrassed. Instead, he smiled and thanked her before heading towards another house.
