Chapter 034: She's Lying
Chen Qi was stunned for a moment before taking the teacup and thanking him quietly, saying, "As long as the murderer can be caught, I...I will definitely help you with all my strength!"
"Very good," Lin Rui asked in a gentle tone, "How is your family relationship?"
"Are you talking about my parents? Their relationship is pretty good. My dad is usually busy with work and rarely goes home. My mother is alone at home..."
"Forgive me, is your father remarried?"
"Yes," Chen Qi nodded and said, "My parents divorced when I was a child, and then he married Cui Yan. However, although Cui Yan is my stepmother, she is okay to me..."
Lin Rui casually asked about her family situation, and Chen Qi said that her stepmother was very nice to her several times.
But as a woman, Lin Rui is naturally very careful in emotions. By observing her words and expressions, she feels that what the other person said is not the facts.
So, Lin Rui further asked: "What were you doing when the incident happened?"
"Ah?!" This question surprised Chen Qi slightly.
"Haha, don't be nervous, this is just a routine question. Maybe my questioning method is too direct, so I'll change the questioning method. What are you doing when you receive the news of a case at home?"
"I... I'm on my way home. That day... the company has something to do, it's very troublesome... I... I've been delaying some time..."
"Oh, can you ask what job you are doing now?"
"Does this also need to be verified?!" Chen Qi frowned and seemed to be beginning to feel unhappy.
"We will investigate if you don't say it. We will investigate everything related to the deceased. This is the normal process of detecting."
"Okay!" Chen Qi sighed, "I just graduated from college and temporarily do sales in a cosmetics company..."
After asking these questions, Lin Rui felt that she had already asked almost the same questions.
Chen Qi stood up and said goodbye, and Lin Rui personally sent her out of the room.
After watching Chen Qi leave, Wang Xiaolei jumped to Lin Rui, and raised his thumbs up in admiration and said to Lin Rui: "Rurui, you are amazing. I didn't expect you to be good at doing this kind of work!"
"She lied!" Lin Anmin walked over and said.
"What?!" Wang Xiaolei was confused.
"Yes, I can see that Chen Qi seems to be deliberately embellishing her relationship with her stepmother." Lin Rui nodded and said.
"Maybe it's an irrelevant lie?" Wang Xiaolei interrupted, "After all, there are no people, so it's appropriate to have a relaxed evaluation of the deceased..."
"In terms of husband and wife relationship, I think it is necessary to check it again!" Lin Anmin thought for a while and said.
"Captain Lin, can I go to the crime scene to take a look?" Lin Rui asked Lin Anmin.
"Now there are forensic personnel there, you can go at any time," After saying this, Lin Anmin suddenly thought of something. He frowned and said, "But if you want to take that guy with you, it's best to wait until the night after all your colleagues leave..."
"I understand!" Lin Rui nodded with a smile.
Lin Rui felt that her father Lin Anmin seemed to have tacitly agreed to Charlotte, a kind citizen.
...
It was past 9 o'clock that night, and as expected, Lin Rui and Charlotte made an appointment to come to the crime scene.
When I went upstairs, I saw that there was a police seal on the door.
I opened the door with the keys I got from the property, and the room was in a mess.
The house is well decorated, with a visual appearance of about 150 square meters, which can be regarded as a medium and high-end residential house.
At this moment, the most obvious thing is that there is a long blood mark on the floor, which extends from the bathroom to the balcony, and there is also solidified blood on the balcony windowsill.
There is a photo on the coffee table on the sofa.
In the photo, a man is sitting in front with a young beautiful woman's hand in hand, and a girl is standing behind her.
That was when Chen Qi was fifteen or sixteen years old, with a reserved smile but his movements seemed a little stiff.
Charlotte pointed to the photo and reminded Lin Rui, "Look, this photo reflects family relationships well..."
After saying that, Charlotte stood in the living room and took a deep breath, as if catching the scent left in the air.
"What did you smell?" Lin Rui asked.
"A very strong smell of blood..."
Charlotte walked along the bloodstain to the bathroom. There was still a lot of blood left on the white tiled walls, and a ball of hair was blocked in the sewer. It was estimated that there was a large pool of blood on the floor before, which caused the gaps in the tiles to be dark red.
"It seems that the corpse was dismembered here..."
Charlotte said something, then turned around and walked to the kitchen.
The kitchen looks neat and clean. There are obviously two missing knives on the wooden knife holder, the largest one and the smallest one.
Lin Rui recalled the photos sent by the forensic staff, and she thought about it and explained to Charlotte:
"The murderer used a smallest fruit knife, and the dismemberment of the body was the largest bone chopping knife. Now, the bone chopping knife is kept in the physical evidence room, and the fruit knife is not on the scene. According to the descriptions of the security guards of the witnesses, the murderer should have taken the knife away, but why didn't he take the bone chopping knife away with him?!"
"Maybe there is a problem with the weapon. Guo Ming was worried about revealing his identity, so he took away the fruit knife that killed someone..." Charlotte leaned against the door and said thoughtfully.
"He threw the corpse downstairs directly, wishing that the whole world knew that he had killed someone. Does he still have to be afraid of revealing his identity?!" Lin Rui asked in confusion.
"Haha, Officer Lin, you probably don't understand what I mean..."
"What do you mean? Are you pretending to be mysterious again, right?"
"What I mean by exposing my identity is not to say that Guo Ming..."
"ah?!"
"It's just a speculation stage now. Please let me think about it carefully. I won't tell you first," Charlotte looked at Lin Rui maliciously, "But I'm very curious, what's in your head? Why do you think Guo Ming only took one knife?"
"I think there are two possibilities..."
"Yohe, there are two possibilities. Tell me quickly, am I curious?"
"The first type is that Guo Ming has forgotten because of his nervousness. The second type is that he probably thought it would be enough to get rid of the security guards downstairs and bring a knife..."
Listening to Lin Rui finishing her two guesses seriously, Charlotte finally couldn't hold back her smile, and he laughed several times.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"I'm crazy, what's so funny?" Lin Rui gave Charlotte a blank look.
"I laugh because... it's because...haha... you beautiful detective is really resourceful!"
"snort……"
Lin Rui pouted and ignored Charlotte. She left the kitchen to see other rooms. After staying for a while, she found that Charlotte did not come with her, so she went back to find Charlotte.
Unexpectedly, she saw Charlotte sitting by the bed in the second bedroom in a daze, and her expression was eccentric.
This bedroom is clean and tidy, with the fragrance of a girl's boudoir, and it is obviously the boudoir of a girl Chen Qi.
Seeing Charlotte so devoted to looking at a girl's boudoir, Lin Rui couldn't help but get angry. She said to Charlotte loudly:
Chapter completed!
