Reborn in 1995, Criminal Investigation Records

"Hired murder?" Liu Chengyun looked at Xiao Jiale, who was filled with hope, and nodded. "That possibility cannot be ruled out, Zhou Yang!"

Zhou Yang, who was in a daze, looked up and met his master's gaze.

"You and Xiao Jiale go verify Zhu Guolong's alibi, check if he has recently made any large expenditures, has a criminal record, or has been in close contact with anyone! Fang Duo, you come too!"

It must be said that women are generally more stable drivers, unlike Wang Chao, who, without holding onto the overhead grab handle, always had to be prepared to crash into his head or be thrown off.

Zhu Guolong's company is called Yu Linglong, and it mainly deals in jade.

Soon, following a notification from partner Liu Xu, the three people who had dinner and gone to a dance hall with Zhu Guolong the previous night arrived at the office.

Xiao Jiale actively cooperated with Fang Duo's routine questioning.

"Who suggested you go to the dance hall after dinner last night?"

"This doesn't need to be suggested. We've done this often before. Every now and then, after we've finished discussing the plans, we'll do this for a bit of fun. It's been going on for a long time," one of them said.

"Has any of you been away for an extended period of time?"

"No, right?" one of the thinner ones recalled, "Brother Long wanted to go out for some fresh air, but after we pulled him away, he didn't leave the table."

"Do you usually stay in the dormitory after this event?"

"Usually, he went back to his dorm right after Brother Long got married, but for the past six months, he's been living with us!"

Have any new faces appeared around Zhu Guolong recently?

......

"Okay, take a look at this record. If there are no problems, just sign your names!" Fang Duo asked, then handed the notebook to the three of them to read.

"Don't worry about that, it's just a simple inquiry, and these things won't be leaked!" Zhou Yang said with a smile, reassuring the three of them as they passed the buck back and forth.

Subsequently, led by his partner, Zhou Yang and the others also planned to leave.

"By the way, Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhu are business partners, so they must have a good relationship. Why don't you participate in their activities?" Zhou Yang asked casually.

"You mean Lao Wen? I've only been here a short time. They don't call me, so I feel bad about contacting them!" Liu Xu replied with a smile.

"What about that old Wen you mentioned?" Fang Duo paused and asked.

"Well..." Liu Xu scratched his head, "I don't know the specifics, but I heard he went abroad."

It turns out that the person who initially partnered with Zhu Guolong to start the company was named Wen Zhenhao. Due to some special reasons, he went abroad a few years ago. Liu Xu was a partner who joined later, but his investment was not as much as the previous two.

Next, the three went to the bank again, but found no large sums of money transferred out under Zhu Guolong's name.

The whole case seems to have hit a dead end again.

The room was filled with bluish smoke. Fang Duo was choked by it and had to stand up and open the window. Instantly, the smoke rushed out as if it had found an vent.

Liu Chengyu smiled sheepishly and pressed the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray.

"Hey, having a barbecue here?" a teasing voice called out. Wang Zhenhai, holding a report, fanned the air. "I have to say, it's much more comfortable here. Over there, a whole room of people are staring at me, it's making me so suffocated!"

After saying that, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, took the half cigarette butt from Wang Chao's mouth, lit it with his own light, ignored Wang Chao's glaring and anxious look, and casually stubbed the cigarette butt into the ashtray.

"Here, the full report. I've made some discoveries that I think will be helpful to you." Seeing that the roommates weren't paying much attention to him, Wang Zhenhai threw the report on the table, found a chair, sat down, and began to puff out smoke, just like an incense burner.

Upon hearing the discovery, Liu Chengyu quickly took it and slid his fingers up and down, while Dai Yan and Xiao Jiale next to him hunched over and looked at the report in the other's hand.

The autopsy report still contained the same information as before. After the autopsy, the time of death was fixed between 12:00 and 1:00.

The deceased, Deng Fangfang, was diagnosed with lung cancer and had a high total amount of aflatoxin in her body, exhibiting typical characteristics of long-term, chronic, low-dose exposure!

Based on simulation, the size of the weapon—length × width × height—is approximately 240mm × 115mm × 53mm, roughly the size of a common red brick.

The wound on the back of the skull, with the left hand being the dominant hand, was found to have uneven force distribution and poor grip, resulting in a special fracture line.

......

"Old Wang, what does this mean?" Liu Chengyu pointed to the last few sentences, his voice tinged with anxiety.

"That means there's a high probability the other person is left-handed and probably has some kind of disability! But this is just a guess!" Wang Zhenhai stood up.

"Furthermore, there are signs that the deceased was poisoned over a prolonged period, which led to the cancer!"

"I understand!" Xiao Jiale slammed his hand on the table, then exclaimed excitedly, "Zhu Guolong knew that Deng Fangfang had added seasoning to her food, and he was resentful, so he added something to her food in return—aflatoxin. Sure enough, it caused her to develop cancer!"

Many people in the room nodded slightly upon hearing this conclusion, as if it were a premeditated act of revenge, an eye for an eye.

Zhou Yang, however, had a different opinion: "It doesn't make sense. They've already poisoned her, and she's been diagnosed with cancer. Wouldn't it be redundant to take the risk of murder?"

"Professor Wang, you just mentioned that the deceased had been exposed to aflatoxin for a long time. If we can find a culture, can we compare it?" Zhou Yang suddenly thought of a question and asked.

"Good question!" Wang Zhenhai ignored Liu Chengyu and the others: "Xiao Zhou, I actually think you're quite suitable for our technical department, whether it's your observation skills or your ability to apply what you've learned to new situations. What do you say, do you want to work for me? I'll retire in two years, and this position will be yours!"

"Hey Wang, what are you doing? We're discussing the case, what nonsense are you spouting?" Liu Chengyu slammed his right hand on the table, clearly displeased with the other man's joking around.

"Theoretically, it's possible. However, I suggest the technical team conduct another targeted search. This time, a purposeful search might yield some results. Of course, this is just my personal suggestion!" After saying this, Wang Zhenhai nodded to Zhou Yang and left.

Liu Chengyu clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, then began assigning tasks: "Dai Yan and I will take the autopsy report to interrogate Zhu Guolong and see what his expression is like. Xiao Jiale and Fang Duo, continue to go to the scene to find eyewitnesses who are left-handed and have disabilities. Zhou Yang and Wang Chao, you two will go with the technical team to the deceased's home again to see if you can find that...culture!"

"Liu Da, I'd like to share my thoughts!" Zhou Yang put down the autopsy report in his hand.

Everyone present had worked with Zhou Yang for more than half a year and were considered old acquaintances. They had all witnessed the changes in him in the past two days. He hadn't shown much talent before, but now he was a pleasant surprise. Everyone felt that this kid really had some skills, and they couldn't help but become curious.

At Liu Chengyu's prompting, he slowly spoke: "First of all, the deceased did not have a cold or fever, but stomach cancer, so he must have been to the hospital before. I suggest that we check here to at least determine the time, which will also put pressure on Zhu Guolong's interrogation."

Secondly, based on the wound on the back of the victim's head, it can be determined that the murder weapon was a red brick. It was most likely a crime of passion. It is unlikely that anyone would carry a brick with them when they go out, and then bring it home after hitting someone. I think we can expand the search area to about 500 meters around the crime scene to look for this red brick. There should be bloodstains and fingerprints on it!

Furthermore! Finding the murder weapon is equivalent to finding the killer's location.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Xiao Zhou, are you really not going to consider our technical team?" Wang Zhenhai, who thought the other had already left, stood at the door and extended an invitation again.
