Chapter 90 Narrowing the Scope
"Shall we go in and take a look?" Hu asked.
"Come in, I'm really not home." The middle-aged woman stepped aside from the doorway.
But the expression on her face looked somewhat unnatural no matter how you looked at it.
Wu Song's knowledge of micro-expression psychology is only rudimentary; even he could tell that this woman was lying.
Walk in and look around.
"Shutong, you all stay outside and keep watch. Hu and I will go in."
"Director Hu, I'll go in first."
The other party is very likely the murderer who killed Hao Min.
A person who has already taken a life is capable of any reaction when facing police arrest; they might suddenly jump out and stab someone.
To ensure no one was injured during the operation, Wu Song took the lead and went inside.
The room is only so big. If the other party suddenly tries to hurt someone, Wu Song is confident that he can control the other party before they can do so.
At the very least, it can knock the opponent unconscious.
Entering the main room and looking around, it seemed that there was only one place to hide people: the wardrobe!
He immediately exchanged a glance with Hu.
The two men simultaneously drew their guns, walked to the front and back of the wardrobe, and pulled it open from the left and right.
No, that's not available.
next.
As the wardrobe door was pulled open, two guns were instantly pointed inside.
Standing in the middle of the clothes was a shifty-looking man in his thirties. Upon seeing the dark muzzle of the gun, he immediately sat down in the closet. "Wait, Chief Hu, what are you doing? Why are you using a gun to arrest me? Put it away, put it away, don't let it go off accidentally."
"Do you know why we're looking for you?"
Not seeing any black mist on the other party, Wu Song put away his gun.
But the fact that this guy's first thought when the police came to his door was to hide means that something must have happened to him.
To kill two birds with one stone.
He simply started to bluff the other party.
"Director Hu, how come you got here so quickly!" Zhang Er said with a wry smile, "You found out about what happened last night?"
"You little brat, it really was you! I fucking want to kill you!"
"No, no, no! I'm just collecting recyclables, it's not like I deserve to be shot!"
"Collecting scraps?" Wu Song asked, puzzled.
"Yeah, that's right." Zhang Er nodded. "We pick up scraps from the ground and then sell them to a recycling station to earn some pocket money."
"What kind of junk are you selling?"
"It's just junk."
"Be specific?"
"copper."
"Did you cut the cables in Shengli Village?" Hu thought of the report he received and realized that he might have the wrong person. He slowly put down his gun.
"It wasn't me. I was just responsible for picking things up from the ground. The person cutting things up there was the monkey."
"Come out here so I can take a look." Wu Song checked Zhang Er's body and found no scratches, so he handcuffed him first. "Alright, come with us to the station later to have your fingerprints taken and have some blood drawn."
It's highly unlikely that this person killed Hao Min.
Therefore, the precious funds will not be used to test Zhang Er's DNA.
However, it's always good to test his blood type first. If his blood type doesn't match the one found under the deceased's fingernails, then he can be ruled out as a suspect, and then Hu can be sent to deal with the cable theft.
With Zhang Er by his side, Wu Song first surveyed all of Hao Min's neighbors.
Since they couldn't find the person with the black mist on them, they simply had these people put their fingerprints on the paper. The necessary procedures had to be followed, otherwise, how would they write the case report?
My gut feeling tells me they aren't the murderers.
That's no joke.
"Chief Hu, could you do me another favor?" Wu Song asked. "Could you compile a list of everyone in the village with a criminal record, whether they've been in prison or sent to a labor camp?"
After investigating his neighbors, Wu Song planned to first investigate all the people with criminal records in the entire Yuanyuan Village.
After checking individuals with criminal records, their relatives are checked, and then other villagers are checked.
Although you have to pass each one individually, there is still a certain order to them.
"No problem, we have records of all these people in our office," Director Hu said.
"Okay, let's go to the station to get the list later. After all, it's a murder case; catching the killer as soon as possible will give us a much-needed sigh of relief!"
"Of course, I'll go right away."
……
Zhang Er was handed over to Cao Dahua to take back to the station for a blood test.
Wu Song and Hu Suo returned to the police station and obtained a list of all the criminal records and addresses of people with prior convictions in the entire Yuanyuan Village.
They went through each address one by one to investigate.
After investigating the last person with a criminal record, it was already dark, but the murderer shrouded in black mist still hadn't appeared. Wu Song couldn't help but sigh.
Do we really have to meet all the villagers in Yuanyuan Village?
"What's wrong? Nothing's there?" Liu Shutong looked at Wu Song.
"Um!"
"Then let's continue the investigation." Liu Shutong said nonchalantly, "There are only so many people. As long as your intuition is correct, Brother Song, even if we investigate from the east end of the village to the west end, it's only a little over two thousand households. In a month, we should be able to finish the investigation, right? Don't worry, you have your team member and half-apprentice with you."
"Let's go back to the station first and see if we can narrow down the search area. It didn't rain last night, so we should be able to get the suspect's footprints, right? Footprints can provide a lot of information."
……
Third Squadron Office.
During the case analysis meeting, the entire office was still filled with smoke.
"I've thoroughly investigated the deceased's neighbors and everyone in the entire Yuanyuan Village with a criminal record, but there are no suspicious individuals yet." Wu Song first reported the results of his investigation, then looked at Cao Dahua, "By the way, has the technical investigation team obtained any valuable leads?"
"Yes, it was just delivered. The white fibers found under the deceased's fingernails and on his teeth should be fibers from a work glove," Cao Dahua said solemnly.
"Furthermore, based on the analysis of the footprints of the suspected suspect collected at the scene, the suspect is male, around fifty years old, about 1.6 meters tall, and the soles of his shoes are severely worn. The suspect did not choose to change to a new pair of shoes when committing the crime; those shoes were ones he had worn many times. This is based on the inference of the shoe sole pattern from the footprints."
Cao Dahua picked up a piece of paper with a shoe sole pattern drawn on it.
"Isn't this just a regular cloth shoe sole?" Ma Dazhi said.
"Yes! Many people are wearing these cloth shoes, so our task remains challenging!"
"Why don't we first conduct a thorough investigation of the villagers who meet the criteria, and then let Deputy Captain Wu take a look at those who seem suspicious?"
"Compared to the cases we've encountered before, this case is much easier to handle," Lin Wenshu said. "The deceased was unprepared for the fact that he wore gloves and didn't leave any fingerprints, footprints, or DNA evidence. As long as we can identify the murderer, a DNA test will provide irrefutable evidence, leaving him no room for argument."
"And to pinpoint the killer, we have nuclear weapons!"
Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively looked at Wu Song.
