Serious Crime Unit 1

Chapter 237 Not at the scene (10)
They saw a wooden gate from a distance, with the word "Ye Feng Village" written on it. After a while, the car drove through the gate and stopped in front of a wooden house. A dog ran out and barked at them. The owner saw It was Deputy Mayor Wang. He scolded the dog and the dog ran away in despair.

Lu Yingying looked at the surrounding environment: a house with a pure wooden structure was built under a cliff. The sound of gurgling water and the chirping of lovebirds could be heard from under the cliff.Tall paulownia trees grow around the house, six to seven meters high, and are already mature. If they were cut down and sold, they would probably fetch 200 to [-] million yuan. This shows how Qian Tong is a man who knows how to make money.

Xiao Ke didn't want to watch the scenery in front of him: "Excuse me, is your name Qian Tong?"

"Yes, what do you want from me?"

"We are from the criminal police team of the city bureau. We are looking for you to understand the situation. Do you know Zhou Chaohua?"

"Sorry, I don't know."

"You're lying. It's Zhou Chaohua who defrauded you of 100 million yuan. How could you not recognize him?" Xiao Ke stared straight at him.

"Sorry, her name is not Zhou Chaohua. When I met her, her name was Zhou Hua."

"Later she changed her name to Zhou Chaohua and had plastic surgery."

"So, it's even more impossible for me to know her." Qian Tong said seriously.

小克知道钱同不会承认认识她，他不想和他绕弯弯浪费时间，开门见山地问：“本月6日01：00到02：00你在哪里？”

Qian Tong frowned, thought for a moment and said, "I was sleeping at that time."

"Can anyone prove it?"

"I have no wife or children, and I sleep alone in my bedroom every day. How can anyone prove it?"

"Zhou Chaohua was killed in her villa. We invested a large number of police forces to conduct an in-depth investigation. Apart from you, she had no enemies. If no one proves that you were sleeping at the time, we have reason to suspect that you did it."

"Oh, by the way, I heard that smartphones can locate locations. So, my mobile phone can prove that I am sleeping at home, right?"

"Although mobile phones can be used for positioning, if you leave your mobile phone at home and go out to commit crimes, wouldn't it be easy to do it?" Lu Yingying asked him.

"Oh, I remembered. A friend came to visit me that day with two timber merchants. Because we had a very happy chat, we chatted until 01:00 before they drove back. After seeing off the guests, I went to bed. Because I have to work after dawn."

"Why are you so sure they left here at 01:00?"

"My friend said, 'Oh, before you know it it's one o'clock, let's go home.' So I remember it very clearly."

"What's your friend's name? What's his cell phone number?"

"His name is Li Ling, and the two businessmen are called Mr. Zhen and Mr. Xiao. These are their business cards. You can go find them to verify."

Xiao Ke took three business cards, with their names, phone numbers, and company addresses printed on them.Xiao Ke put the business card in his bag and asked Lu Yingying: "Yingying, do you think there is anything else you want to ask?" Lu Yingying shook her head, said goodbye to Qian Tong, got into Deputy Mayor Wang's car, and went down the mountain.

"If Qian Tong was still at home at 6:01 on the 00th, then he could not have come to Villa No. 104 to kill Zhou Chaohua, because the national highway entrance from Qian Tong's home to the foot of the mountain is a 9.5-kilometer winding mountain. If you drive or ride a motorcycle, it will take at least 10 minutes. Because the mountain road is winding, the speed cannot exceed 40 yards per hour, otherwise it will be very dangerous, especially late at night. Then the national highway entrance to Laishan Villa is 40 kilometers, the national highway is 30 kilometers, and the national highway to Laishan Villa is 10 kilometers. Half of these 10 kilometers of road are winding mountain roads, and the speed cannot exceed 60 yards. Therefore, no matter what kind of transportation Qian Tong uses, it is impossible to arrive at the scene of the crime at 6:01 on the 21th to commit murder. Unless Qian Tong can fly." K said.

Jiang Yiming asked: "What is Qian Tong's means of transportation?"

"There is a Guangmoto Mirage 150 off-road motorcycle parked in his backyard. Deputy Mayor Wang said that he does not have a car, only a motorcycle."

"Is there a small mountain road behind Qian Tong's house that leads to Laishan Villa?"

"No. I asked Deputy Mayor Wang, and he said that because the top of Laishan Mountain is full of steep cliffs, there is no way to build roads." "I think it's a little strange. Why did Qian Tong not long after Zhou Chaohua bought a villa in the east of Laishan Mountain? What about contracting barren hills to the west of Laishan Mountain? Although there are no roads to the east and west of Laishan Mountain, I think there must be an inherent connection. Have you gone to Li Ling to confirm it?"

"Not yet, we plan to go find Li Ling and the two timber merchants now."

"Okay, you go find them first to confirm. Maybe Qian Tong lied." Jiang Yiming said.

Xiao Ke and Lu Yingying went to find Li Ling. Li Ling is the secretary-general of the Municipal Calligraphy Association. He is nearly fifty years old and his studio is in the Municipal Cultural Center.When they walked into Li Ling's studio, they were greeted by calligraphy and paintings in various fonts, which made them feel the rich artistic atmosphere.

Li Ling, who was thin and tall, was very enthusiastic about their arrival. He made tea for them with hot water, and then began to talk about various calligraphy schools and styles, as well as future development trends, with a rising and falling voice.Xiao Ke listened patiently because he was not interested in calligraphy at all. When Li Ling finally stopped to drink tea, Xiao Ke quickly asked: "Secretary Li, I heard that you and Qian are both good friends?"

"Yes, although we have no common hobbies, I yearn for and envy his lifestyle. He can live alone in the mountains for 8 years and is unwilling to enter the world of mortals. Like Lu You wrote: 'Selling fish is afraid of going to the city. He is willing to go to the depths of the mortal world.' He grows rice, vegetables, raises chickens and ducks on the mountain, uses solar energy to generate electricity, raises trees at sunrise, reads at sunset, and does handicrafts on rainy days. The wooden house he lives in is built by himself. , he lived happily, joyfully, and quietly..."

Xiao Ke knew that he had met a talkative person and interrupted him: "Qian Tong said that you and two timber merchants will visit him on the evening of the 5th of this month. Is this true?"

"Yes, I often go there to experience the beauty of nature. I especially like to go there at night to watch the lights of thousands of houses under the mountain, listen to the sound of the wind passing through the woods, the cry of the spring flowing between the rocks, and the cry of the owl in the deep forest. Cry... At this time, inspiration will suddenly favor me, so I will write furiously in his wooden house, creating valuable calligraphy works. I will go there to eliminate worldly worries, cleanse the dusty soul, and become a mature person. The grassy grassland where my soul rests..."

"Sorry to interrupt for a moment, when did you go up the mountain and when did you go down the mountain?"

"Mr. Zhen and Xiao are always my friends. They asked me where I could buy timber, and I thought of Qian Tong. We asked Qian Tong to go down the mountain to have dinner and discuss business, but Qian Tong was unwilling. I knew he didn't like making noise. So, After we had dinner at the Dynasty Town Restaurant, we drove up the mountain to visit Qian Tong around 8 o'clock. Qian Tong made tea for us to sober up, and we kept chatting. Later, we were hungry because we drank too much tea, so Qian Tong suggested We drank to satisfy our hunger, and he brought a lot of cakes. Because we had a pleasant conversation and had some good wine to cheer us up, we talked until 01:00 before we left."

"How do you know it was 01:00 when you said goodbye?"

"I checked my watch."

"How could you read your watch at that time?"

"Your question is very strange. You can look at your watch at any time. Why don't you wear a watch?"

"You misunderstood. I wanted to ask you that no one reminded you to check your watch?"

"Oh, it's like this. Because Qian Tong was a little sleepy, he started to look at his watch secretly. I realized that it was already late at night, so I looked at my watch. It was exactly 01:00."

"Thank you for your help. We still have work to do. Let's take our leave." Xiao Ke said goodbye to him politely.

Later, they went to visit Mr. Zhen and Mr. Xiao, and both of them confirmed that they indeed left Qian Tong at 01:00 that night.Therefore, Qian Tong has an alibi.

Lu Yingying was afraid that Qian Tong, Li Ling, Mr. Zhen, and Mr. Xiao would collude in confessing, so she called up the traffic surveillance video of that night and checked it carefully, because their car was driving back to the provincial capital at 01:15, and the driver was Li Ling. It can be proved that what Li Ling, Mr. Zhen, and Mr. Xiao said is true, and there is no possibility that the four of them conspired to confess together.

The case is deadlocked.However, the investigation revealed that Qian Tong was the only suspect. If it was really him who did it, what trick did he use to hide it?

Lu Yingying asked Xiao Ke to go shopping on Saturday. Xiao Ke was afraid of shopping the most, but this was the first time Lu Yingying took the initiative to ask him out. He felt very happy and readily agreed.Lu Yingying also said that after shopping, she wanted to see the ancient city wall.The ancient city wall is located at the foot of Laishan Mountain, an hour's drive away.You cannot use the bus during breaks.Xiao Ke called Zhou Ting and borrowed a car from Zhou Ting for the first time.

Zhou Ting's father left him tens of millions of assets. Zhou Ting drove his own Mercedes-Benz 600 when he was not at work. Xiao Ke asked him to borrow a car. He immediately drove the car to Xiao Ke's downstairs and handed the car keys to Xiao Ke. Then he took a taxi home, which made Xiaoke very touched.

Xiao Ke'an followed Lu Yingying all over the World Trade City. When she was shopping, Xiao Ke wanted to pay for her, but Lu Yingying choked her: You are not qualified.Xiao Ke no longer dared to do so, so he could only help her carry the goods.

It was almost noon, and Lu Yingying bought more than a dozen items such as shoes, skirts, and underwear. Xiao Ke protested loudly because she was hungry. He suggested that Lu Yingying go to have lunch.Lu Yingying talked about going to the villa under the ancient city wall to have lunch.

Xiaoke had no choice but to follow her and drove towards the ancient city wall.
