Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 440 This case can be solved even while lying at home.

Although he didn't personally investigate this case in his previous life, he knew the final outcome.

Because the case was very famous at the time.

After two months of in-depth investigation, the task force was still unable to find conclusive evidence to identify the real culprit and was eventually forced to disband.

Just when everyone thought the case would remain unsolved, an unexpected turning point occurred.

The murderer actually surfaced on his own!
However, the murderer was not discovered through a thorough police investigation, but rather through a tip-off.

The whistleblower was the murderer's wife.

That's about it... Yu Dazhang quietly took two more deep breaths.

He only opened his eyes when his hands stopped shaking.

"Go upstairs."

Hearing his strong voice, Wei Qian and Lü Zhongxin felt more confident.

The three of them went upstairs.

Yu Dazhang glanced at the plaster molding beside the bed.

The deceased's posture clearly indicated that he had struggled violently... he muttered to himself.

Then he looked around.

The bloodstains on the bed and floor had turned black, and the bloodstains on the wall were splattered.

Although the body was no longer at the scene, the distribution of bloodstains still revealed the extent of the tragedy.

Yu Dazhang pursed his lips.

This house will definitely be a haunted house from now on. If the news gets out, the property prices of the entire building will drop.

This was his first time at the crime scene; in fact, he could have solved the case without coming.

But to avoid arousing suspicion, he always had to put on an act.

If someone solves a case while lying at home, the task force will definitely find it suspicious and may even think that he has some connection to the case.

Therefore, he had to go to the crime scene to find some convincing new clues.

"Call Qian Cheng from the technical department over here," Yu Dazhang ordered Lü Zhongxin, turning his head.

Once they get into working mode, the relationship between the master and apprentice will naturally change.

Lü Zhongxin is now used to being directed by his apprentice.

"it is good."

After agreeing, he immediately walked to the side, took out his phone, and made a call.

He brought Qian Cheng over for no other reason than that he wanted to take care of an acquaintance like him, as it was such a good opportunity to make a contribution.

"Let's call the people from the special task force over as well."

Yu Dazhang spoke to Wei Qian in a consultative tone:

“They can’t just sit idle when they have to work.”

He naturally didn't dare to be too casual with Captain Wei, after all, he was his superior, and he had to show him the respect he deserved.

"Are you that confident?" Wei Qian asked somewhat ambiguously.

He only saw Yu Dazhang arrive at the scene, glance around, and then start calling for people.

It's obvious that the fat man has discovered a new clue.

Is it too hasty?
Brother, you've only just arrived?

If the case were so easy to solve, the task force wouldn't have made no progress in the past two weeks.

"Solving cases doesn't rely on confidence."

Yu Dazhang smiled confidently, then pointed to his large head:

"The real clues are deduced by thinking."

Why are you acting all high and mighty... Wei Qian was speechless at what he said, but he couldn't refute it, so he could only nod.

"I called people over, and now it's time to get to work."

He was still a little worried, so he gave a reminder.

If everyone comes and Yu Dazhang doesn't find any new clues, he'll lose face big time.

"I know, get in touch quickly," Yu Dazhang replied casually.

Seeing that Wei Qian had also gone to make a phone call, he went to the balcony and looked around, then went to the right and stared at the balcony next door for a while.

The seventh floor is indeed quite high, but it's not entirely impossible.

People are different. To some people with special skills, this height is nothing. After leaving the balcony, Yu Dazhang went to the corridor outside.

He walked back and forth several times, seemingly pondering a problem as he walked, but in reality, he was observing the doors of his neighbors' houses.

Sure enough, surveillance cameras were installed... Now Yu Dazhang felt even more at ease.

About ten minutes later, Qian Cheng arrived at the scene.

When he saw Yu Dazhang, he went up to him and punched him:
"I've been worried sick these past few days. You're such a worry, you managed to run into scum while trying to save someone."

Perhaps because they were compatible, they had a good relationship and would inevitably joke around when they met.

"It's just a matter of luck," Yu Dazhang replied somewhat helplessly.
“Brother Qian, you know me. I’m a soft-hearted person by nature. Even if a dog fell into the lake, I would still go down and save it.”

"You're soft-hearted?" Qian Cheng was stunned by what he was told.

Are you trying to fool the Japanese?
He had personally witnessed Yu Dazhang fighting against the enemy's rear.

Even the forensic doctor frowned when he saw that scene.

If you're soft-hearted, how did those people die?

"Alright, stop talking nonsense." Qian Cheng waved his hand.

"Why did you call me here? I know this site; the technical department has already investigated it."

Yu Dazhang suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm, pulling him into the house:
"Of course it's because we've discovered new clues. I called you here to collect footprints. If there's a chance to make a contribution, I'll definitely give you priority."

He's quite loyal... Qian Cheng was a little touched when he heard that.

He did indeed benefit from his previous collaboration with Yu Dazhang, and even received a third-class merit award.

In addition to the collective merit, his police rank was promoted one level ahead of schedule.

Therefore, he had no doubt about Yu Dazhang's abilities, but this time he felt that something was not right.

Qian Cheng was forcibly dragged to the balcony by Yu Dazhang.

"The footprints are right there."

Yu Dazhang pointed to a pre-cast concrete slab between the two balconies and said:

"Go and gather them."

Qian Cheng followed the direction of his finger and stared intently.

That's a space specifically reserved for air conditioner outdoor units when the building was constructed, so that residents can place their outdoor units here when installing air conditioners.

Its size is just right to accommodate an outdoor air conditioning unit.

In reality, this reserved space is not very useful.

Nowadays, when installing air conditioners, installers usually use a tripod as a support to directly install the outdoor unit on the exterior wall of the building.

This is actually safer and more convenient.

Therefore, this reserved space became useless.

When Qian Cheng saw it clearly, he was furious.

"Let go of me!"

He swung his arms forcefully, trying to break free from Yu Dazhang's control, while shouting:
"This is the seventh floor!! How am I supposed to get over there, jump over, you son of a bitch?!"

The balcony is not far from the reserved spot for the outdoor unit, probably about a meter away. Even a woman could easily jump up there.

The only difficulty is that the building is quite high up.

If someone falls, the chances of survival are slim, and even if they do survive, they will most likely become disabled.

"Don't get excited, don't get excited."

Yu Dazhang advised:
"I didn't ask you to jump up. I brought you here so you could take a look first."

At this moment, Wei Qian and Lü Zhongxin also came over.

They glanced at the reserved board first, then looked at each other.

Both being criminal police officers, the two immediately guessed Yu Dazhang's intentions.

"You suspect the murderer jumped onto this balcony using that pre-installed partition?"

The person asking the questions was Wei Qian, who was familiar with the development of the case, so he immediately thought of this aspect.

“That’s right.” Yu Dazhang nodded.
"The murderer used the same method when he left."

Hearing him speak so confidently, Wei Qian couldn't help but ask again:
"But the task force had already inspected the exterior wall and found no signs of climbing. So how did the murderer get up there?"

This is the most interesting part of the case... Yu Dazhang pointed to the adjacent balcony:

"The murderer jumped in from the house."
