Reborn in 1995, Criminal Investigation Records

"Get to the conclusion!" Liu Chengyu ignored the test report Zhou Yang handed him, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag.

Zhou Yang understood: "The food taken from Zhu Guolong's refrigerator tested positive for synthetic anabolic hormones such as quinethol and clenbuterol hydrochloride, and the heavy metal content was seriously excessive. At the same time, the test results for characteristic components of poppy shells were positive."

"What does that mean?" Wang Chao scratched his head. He really didn't understand these terms and just wanted to know what it meant if these things were detected.

"That means Zhu Guolong's food contains the same additives as pig feed, plus addictive stuff!" Xiao Jiale exclaimed in surprise.

"This woman is ruthless?" Wang Chao's eyes widened upon hearing this. He didn't understand anything else, but he knew what "pig feed" meant: "No wonder, no wonder she's so fat!"

Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, he explained, "You didn't see Zhu Guolong. He's twice my weight! Oh, and he also said that these things were made for him by his wife, the deceased!"

Everyone looked at Wang Chao's burly figure and imagined what he would look like twice his weight.

Many people's eyes lit up. Didn't that mean that once Zhu Guolong discovered the other party's behavior, he would have a sufficient motive to commit the crime?

"Didn't you give something to that girl? What was that?" Wang Chao muttered as he watched Zhou Yang flip through the report.

"That's just my guess; we still need to verify it!" Zhou Yang shook his head, not giving a direct answer.

Liu Chengyu stood up: "Summon Zhu Guolong, Zhou Yang, and Wang Chao, along with the technical team, to go to the deceased's residence in Fengdu Garden again!"

In the homicide investigation stage, there is a basic principle called "from near to far, from close to distant." This is a topic taught in police academies. In cases where women are murdered, the proportion of perpetrators is very high, often the victim's spouse, partner, or ex-partner.

Therefore, Liu Chengyu's decision to focus on Zhu Guolong as a key investigation target was a basic and standard procedure based on investigative logic and case-handling experience, with the aim of quickly verifying the situation.

Either they cleared up the suspicion and released him.

If suspicious circumstances are discovered, the person will be detained.

The third situation is that there is suspicion but no evidence, which is a different matter and cannot be discussed in detail.

Some brilliant minds might ask, then why not call Zhu Guolong over immediately after the body was discovered, instead of waiting until now?

This actually involves the issue of experience. It can be understood as tailoring one's approach to the individual, lulling the suspect into a false sense of security, and conducting observation and assessment. However, all of this is to make the suspect feel that the police should have some evidence, thus turning their inner resistance into unease.

As for 24 hours, that has been considered, but it's only a small part of it; sometimes regulations are just regulations.

......

This search was much more thorough than when the two men came in the morning, as they were accompanied by a technical team of professionals.

Zhou Yang and Wang Chao looked around the room, hoping to find some other clues.

The room had a layout common in the 90s: two bedrooms and a living room. The inner bedroom belonged to Zhu Guolong. It was clean and tidy, and there was no strange smell.

Although it was afternoon, the ceiling light was still on, just as the other person said, the switch was indeed broken.

Outside, in the room where Zhou Yang and his companion had gone, things looked a bit messy. The wardrobe was half-open, and several pieces of clothing inside were about to slip off and hadn't been straightened yet, showing that the lady of the house had left in a hurry.

There were many clothes in her wardrobe, but none of them were as bright as the one she was wearing when she was murdered.

"Zhou Yang, what are you looking for?" Wang Chao couldn't help but ask as he watched the other man searching in the corner of the TV, under the bed, and in the gaps between the cabinets.

"Nothing!" Zhou Yang frowned. He had searched quite thoroughly, but why was there no suicide note?

According to the timeline of her previous life, Deng Fangfang was stabbed yesterday, then rescued, regained consciousness this afternoon, and then confessed that the person who attacked her was her husband, Zhu Guolong.

Police rushed to Fengdu Residential Area, but unfortunately, they found that Zhu Guolong had committed suicide. However, police found a suicide note and the knife used in the crime in the house.

Wait!

Zhou Yang, if one of the murderers is Zhu Guolong, after knowing that the other party is dead, there are two possible outcomes. One is to continue the original course of events, commit suicide, confess, and leave a suicide note, with the murder weapon in this room.

Another option is to deny committing murder, pretend to be a victim, leave no suicide note, and most likely dispose of the murder weapon.

But all of this is based on one premise: that Zhu Guolong is the murderer!

But if he's not the killer, then who is?

It's the person who stabbed Deng Fangfang in her past life!!!

But what if Zhu Guolong from the previous generation wasn't the murderer, but rather "committed suicide" and left a suicide note? Does that make sense?

That makes sense!!!

In the past life, the case was closed because of Deng Fangfang's testimony and Zhu Guolong's suicide note. Under normal circumstances, if either of these items were missing, the police could have found out.

Now that Deng Fangfang is dead, is the murderer the same person who stabbed Deng Fangfang in her past life, and this time it was a mistake? Or was it intentional, with the purpose of killing Deng Fangfang?

So what caused the disagreement within their small team?

Or perhaps Zhu Guolong discovered his wife's long-term poisoning and struck first?

Evidence! We still need to find evidence. All speculation must be based on evidence; otherwise, there are too many possibilities.

"My goodness!" Wang Chao exclaimed as he opened the refrigerator door. "This refrigerator is huge!"

Zhou Yang rubbed his temples and curiously approached.

Panasonic's green double-door refrigerator.

"This stuff must be expensive, it looks high-end!" Wang Chao looked at the bread piled up inside and shook his head, "It's just a shame what's inside is so bad."

As they were talking, the lab technician came over, grabbed a bag, and packed up all the bread inside, presumably because of Zhou Yang's test report.

"By the way, did you collect that box behind this bedroom?" Zhou Yang asked casually, making way for the other person.

"It's already been collected!"

Inside the Municipal Public Security Bureau, in the interrogation room.

"Name."

"Zhu Guolong".

"gender."

"man"

"age"

......

"Do you know why I called you here?" Liu Chengyu asked, his eyes seemingly glancing casually at Zhu Guolong's expression.

"I know, because of my wife, Deng Fangfang's death!" Zhu Guolong nodded.

"You don't seem sad at all!" Liu Chengyu leaned back and asked casually.

"It's good that she's dead. If she hadn't, she would have killed me sooner or later!" Zhu Guolong sneered. "Although you might take these words as my motive for committing a crime, I still have to say them!"

I was completely blinded by her sweet talk...

Liu Chengyu first sat and listened, then stood up, and finally leaned against the interrogation table.

According to Zhu Guolong, his wife is completely different from when he first met her. It was only after they were officially married that she revealed her true colors and is now determined to kill him.

He met Deng Fangfang at a billiards hall. At the time, she and her friend had an argument with a drunk man, which almost escalated into a fight. In the end, Zhu Guolong and his friend stepped in and calmed the man down.

Because he works away from home for many years, Zhu Guolong has dark skin and is nearly 1.9 meters tall, making him quite intimidating. The other party then left cursing.

As a token of gratitude, Deng Fangfang voluntarily paid for Zhu Guolong's billiards hall expenses.

They thought the matter was over, but when they left, the other party came out again with several henchmen. Zhu Guolong was physically strong, but he couldn't fight off four people. Fortunately, there were police nearby, and the other party was quickly scolded and ran away.

After that, the two contacted each other more frequently. Zhu Guolong discovered that although Deng Fangfang was a worker in a cotton mill, she had a broad perspective and her own unique insights into many things.

One day, Deng Fangfang told Zhu Guolong that he could quit his job and start his own company, which would definitely make him a fortune. Coincidentally, Zhu Guolong had the same idea.

So Zhu Guolong left his original company and started a new one with his friends, achieving several times the growth of his assets.

One day, Zhu Guolong, who was with a client, happened to see a woman jump into the river. Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, he recognized her as Deng Fangfang.

After he rescued her, exhausted, Deng Fangfang cried and said that she had just gotten divorced!
