RBCT Chapter 41 also contains a major discovery.
Chapter 41 also contains a major discovery.
"We finally tracked him down, and here he is, dead. How do you think he died? Natural death? Or...?"
Xu Bin didn't ask the rest of the question.
But the meaning couldn't be clearer.
Did she also die at the hands of Li Ailian?
After all, with his death, the Third Squadron could no longer investigate further. The only thing left to do was issue a warrant for his arrest and hope that someone would report Li Ailian one day.
Or one day Li Ailian might commit another crime and be arrested, and then her work unit might discover that she is wanted by the police.
What else can we do?
Is it like finding a needle in a haystack among a population of over a billion?
"There aren't any obvious signs of external injury," Wu Song shook his head. "However, we can't rule out the possibility that Li Ailian was behind it. But why would Li Ailian do this? Was it just to kill the last person who knew the truth? Or did some conflict occur between them? Clearly, Li Ailian could enjoy a better life with him!"
"A major discovery has been made!"
Just then, a voice, filled with joy mixed with fear, came from the kitchen.
Wu Song and Xu Bin curiously walked out of the bedroom and followed the sound. Looking inside, they saw a young criminal police officer take out a large black gun wrapped in a plastic bag from the kitchen cabinet.
Seeing the same weapon as his own, Xu Bin clicked his tongue, pinched the bridge of his nose, and said, "Now I understand why Zhang Weida was willing to help Li Ailian kill someone. Just based on this, I'm afraid the crime this kid committed is no less serious than murder!"
"It matches up perfectly!" Looking at the weapon in the bag, Wu Song was certain that he and his men hadn't gone in the wrong direction.
Zhang Weida is Li Ailian's accomplice!
Unfortunately, we were a few days late.
Judging from the degree of decomposition of Zhang Weida's body, if it could have been a week earlier...
No.
Even if they had found out about this place five days earlier, Li Ailian would not have escaped their grasp, and the case of Li Yanan's murder could have been completely closed.
"Report, there's a safe here." Someone moved aside a table that looked ordinary, with wooden boards on all four sides, which was used to hold green plants, revealing a safe inside.
"Get the tools, pry it open, and see what's inside," the on-site commander immediately ordered.
After cutting it open, looking inside, you can see stacks of blue 100-yuan bills neatly stacked together.
A quick glance reveals that they are all over a hundred stacks.
The on-site commander took out a stack of banknotes, glanced at them, and called Chen Jialin over. "Old Chen, take a look. Is the serial number on this banknote within the range of the serial numbers of the money stolen in last year's bank armored truck robbery and murder case?"
"Yes!" Chen Jialin nodded affirmatively. "I investigated that case for a long time, so there's no mistake."
"Very good!"
"Old Xu, Wu Song!" Chen Jialin, the deputy squadron leader who had been running around with the two of them, walked over with a smile. "We're all thanks to you guys!"
It's a pity the man is dead. If he hadn't, we could have caught his accomplice and solved the case.
"Who would have thought it would turn out like this!" Xu Bin smiled helplessly. "Send a copy of the ballistic test report to our branch office. We've also had an armored truck robbery there, and the robbers fired shots. Let's compare the results."
Also, please give us a copy of Zhang Weida's autopsy report when it comes out. I need to know if he was murdered. According to our investigation, there should have been a woman with him, and that woman is very likely the mastermind behind a murder case in our area.
"No problem at all!" Chen Jialin readily agreed.
"By the way, do you have that woman's photo?"
"exist!"
"Let's go and visit the neighbors to see if they've seen that woman," Chen Jialin said.
"OK!"
There are enough people to investigate the site, and we don't need these four.
Wu Song, Xu Bin, and Chen Jialin then headed straight for the house across the street.
They knocked on the other person's door.
The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man in his forties.
"Hello, this is the criminal investigation team. Have you seen our neighbor across the hall?"
"Yes, I've seen him before. We live on the same floor and often run into each other."
Do you know what he does for a living?
"They said they opened some kind of trading company."
Does he live alone?
"That was true before!" the middle-aged man recalled. "Then, in the last two months or so, I found out that she had a girlfriend. Oh, that woman looked to be in her early twenties. She wasn't very tall, about 1.6 meters, but she was really beautiful, and she spoke quite well."
"Is it her?" Xu Bin took out Li Ailian's photo.
"Yes, it's her!" The middle-aged man nodded, his tone firm. "It's definitely her. I took a few more glances at her because she's beautiful, and she left a deep impression on me."
"It's confirmed." Xu Bin and Wu Song exchanged a glance, and then entered into a wait.
We are waiting for the preliminary autopsy results from our partner organization regarding Zhang Weida.
"The time of death should be November 2nd, from an overdose of that stuff. However, the autopsy revealed that Zhang Weida was a drug addict, so the possibility of an accident cannot be ruled out."
The on-site forensic examination did indeed confirm that Zhang Weida had been living with another woman for a long time, and the woman's fingerprints, hair, and some biological samples were collected.
But no one knows where the woman went.
In addition, several strands of hair were found in the trunk of Zhang Weida's Santana.
At this point, the case of Li Yanan's murder can be considered solved.
But the case is getting further and further away from being closed.
Xu Bin and Wu Song then returned to Gaotan City and subsequently issued an arrest warrant for Li Ailian.
……
Back at the branch office, in the office of the Third Squadron.
After recounting what happened, everyone felt a deep sense of regret.
"It was just a few days! Our investigation direction was correct, we just lost to time."
"She's dead again! That Li Ailian! How come everyone connected to her is dead?"
"In other words, Zhang Weida was originally doing something that should have resulted in the death penalty. He happened to meet Li Yanan in Shanghai and discovered that Li Yanan's name was Li Ailian."
By chance, Zhang Weida encountered the real Li Ailian in Gotham City, or perhaps he specifically sought out her. In any case, he and Li Ailian got together, and together they murdered Li Yanan, orchestrating this whole drama!
"But Zhang Weida probably didn't expect that he would die not long after. I still feel something is wrong. Logically speaking, he should be considered an expert, right? How did he end up killing himself? I always feel that Li Ailian was the one who did it."
"Where's the evidence? The problem is, where's the evidence?"
"Okay, there's really no evidence."
"Sigh, Li Ailian got away with this case again. I wonder if I'll be able to catch her before I retire." Ma Dazhi took a sip of tea. "She's one of the smartest criminals I've ever encountered; I'm afraid it won't be easy for her to catch me!"
