Escape the Library

【Chemical Reaction-18】

After returning to the base, a mechanical voice sounded in everyone's ears at the same time: "Successfully avoided the duty personnel and obtained some information, please solve the case before the police (within 3 days). If the speed of solving the case is slower than that of the police, you will fail the assessment. ."

Liu Zhaoqing couldn't help but scolded: "Damn, let's compare the speed with the police? The library is really sick!"

Yue Xingwen said: "Everyone hurry up."

As time was running out just now, Ke Shaobin only had time to copy the relevant documents from the fire department, police force, and hospital to his laptop, but he didn't have time to read it. Now that we have returned to the safe underground base, we can finally re-read the information.

Dozens of G documents, including written transcripts, surveillance videos, pictures, etc., could not be read by Ke Shaobin alone. Yue Xingwen simply said: "The hospital part is handed over to Brother Liu and Senior Brother Xu, and even laymen can't read it. understand the case."

Ke Shaobin shared and transferred the folder copied from the hospital directly to Liu Zhaoqing's mobile phone. Liu Zhaoqing and Xu Yishen walked to the side, turned on the mobile phone and looked at the case from the beginning.

The police force was handed over to Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce, who had the strongest analytical skills, and Ke Shaobin and Xin Yan dealt with the information found by the fire department.

The rest of Group B carefully sorted out the information found from the residences of several suspects.

Everyone began to divide and collaborate, and there were whispered discussions from time to time in the basement.

It wasn't until an hour later, when all the information was sorted out, that Yue Xingwen called everyone for a meeting: "Pick out the doubtful points, Xin Yan and Ke Shao, please talk about it first."

Xin Yan said calmly: "The results of the fire brigade's investigation show that the explosion of the chemical plant was caused by the flammable gas in the waste water workshop encountering an open flame, which was suspected to be caused by a short circuit of the wires. As the fire on the scene lasted for nearly 12 hours, the evidence It has been burned to the ground, and it is temporarily uncertain whether it was accidental or man-made."

Ke Shaobin said: "That night, a truck just stopped at the fire exit outside the factory, blocking the road, so that the fire truck could not go to the fire scene immediately. The current investigation result is an accident. The truck driver was found, drunk driving, illegal Stopped and was detained by the traffic police."

Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce looked at each other, the latter frowned and said, "Accidental? Could it be a coincidence?"

Ke Shaobin said: "I also think it's a coincidence, but the resume of the truck driver looks very simple and has no special relationship with the suspects we suspect. A 32-year-old male, single, with both parents, has ten years of driving experience and has been in charge of helping The chemical factory delivers the goods... Do you think he will be bought by the murderer?"

Yue Xingwen shook his head: "It shouldn't, the fire in the chemical plant is no joke. How could it be easy to buy off hundreds of lives? I am more inclined that the murderer knew the truck driver very well, and seeing him parked there, Just waiting for an opportunity to commit a crime.”

Jiang Pingce said: "That is to say, the murderer had long thought of burning down the entire chemical plant. He chose to do it last night, on the one hand because his goal of revenge had been achieved, and on the other hand, the truck was parked just outside the door and blocked. Live in the fire escape?"

"The four corpses we saw in the waste water workshop are obviously related to 'that incident'. Chen Xiumei was also killed after resigning yesterday afternoon, but there is still one Lin Yusen." Yue Xingwen looked at Jiang Pingce and said, "If the murderer didn't kill Lin Yusen, revenge would not be complete. Unless..."

"Lin Yusen is already dead." Liu Zhaoqing interjected, "We saw his name in the hospital case. Due to severe burns and septic shock, the rescue was ineffective, and he was pronounced dead within half an hour after being sent to the hospital. "

Lin Yusen was everyone's main suspect at first. It wasn't until yesterday afternoon when Chen Xiumei died that Xin Yan and Ke Shaobin witnessed him working in the factory, and they didn't have time to commit the crime.

Now, he died after the fire, which shows that the reasoning of Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce is getting closer and closer to the truth.

Yue Xingwen was silent for a moment and asked, "Senior brother, is there a list of deaths and injuries at the hospital?"

Liu Zhaoqing handed a list to Yue Xingwen: "Well, according to the news, a total of 68 people were killed and 45 were seriously injured in this fire, but at the hospital, 12 of the 45 seriously injured people failed to be rescued. . Therefore, the current exact death toll should be 80 people, and 33 people have been rescued out of danger and are being observed in the ICU."

Xu Yishen said, "Senior Brother Liu and I have compiled the entire list. You can compare it with the list of personnel in the Personnel Department compiled by Senior Sister Lan to see who is still alive."

Many of the 80 people who died were innocent workers in chemical plants unrelated to this case.

The four key suspects, Xue Xiaolian, Yu Chenming, Zhang Weiqiang (chemical plant owner) and Xiao Wenhui, were neither on the death list nor were they injured in the fire. In addition, the truck driver Liu Yong, the warehouse manager Li Daqiang, the security guard Xue Zhi and the 27-year-old girl Zhou Qiqi, who had been suspected by everyone, were not on the injured list.

Ke Shaobin concluded: "In other words, at present, in addition to the 12 of us who escaped in the fire, there are 7 people in the chemical plant who were not at the scene of the fire at the time. Including the suspects we suspected, as well as truck drivers and warehouse managers ,security guard?"

Jiang Pingce said: "Well, the murderer would not be stupid enough to burn himself to death, so the murderer must be among these 7 people. The truck driver had been drinking last night, and there is evidence, so it can be ruled out; warehouse managers and security guards are not educated. Gao, and no relevant chemical experiment experience, should not be able to produce a large amount of hydrofluoric acid to kill people."

"So, the murderer is still among the few suspects we have locked down." Yue Xingwen turned his attention to Qin Lu: "Do you have any special findings when you investigate the home addresses of the four suspects?"

Qin Lu said: "Xiao Wenhui's behavior is a little unusual. In the middle of the night, he watches horror movies alone at home, his wife and daughter are not at home, but his residence is a very common layout of three rooms and two halls, and there is no hidden laboratory, nor The storage room for chemicals; Mr. Zhang lives in a three-story single-family villa with a large basement full of red wine. There are only the nanny, his wife and children in the villa, and he is not at home."

Qin Miao added: "Xue Xiaolian's hometown is a very remote country, and Qin Lu's plate transposition can't go that far. We haven't investigated it yet; Yu Chenming lives in an old house with two bedrooms and two living rooms in the suburbs, but he is at home. , When we passed, he fell asleep and found a portrait of a woman in the room, which should be his wife."

She turned on her phone and enlarged a photo for everyone to see.

The woman in the portrait is in her 40s and has a very delicate appearance, completely unlike Zhou Jianan, who died that year.

Ke Shaobin said: "So, the 'widow' in Yu Chenming's data sheet is also an interference item? His wife is indeed dead, but it has nothing to do with Zhou Jianan, who died in a fire 25 years ago. His suspicion can also be ruled out? "

Yue Xingwen nodded and said: "It is indeed our subjective judgment to list him as a suspect. Xin Yan speculates that the murderer's relatives may have suffered life-threatening injuries such as corrosion and disfigurement. Yu Chenming has no motive for committing the crime. Moreover, The records from the Interpol team can also rule out his suspicion - his wife died of lung cancer five years ago."

Ke Shaobin said curiously, "After seeing the broken corpses in the factory, the criminal police must have found someone who is still alive to make a transcript? Xingwen, Pingce, the information you have compiled should be very important. Tell everyone about it!"

Jiang Pingce said: "Yu Chenming's suspicion can be ruled out. As Xingwen said, his wife died of lung cancer 5 years ago, and he had no motive for committing the crime. He was not in the factory yesterday afternoon because he went to the hospital to see a doctor. Diabetes and has been on insulin treatment. His attending doctor also verified that he had indeed been in hospital yesterday afternoon."

Yue Xingwen said: "Zhang is always on a business trip and is not in the city. After receiving the call from the police, he was buying a plane ticket and rushing back overnight. Judging from the itinerary, he has no time to commit the crime at all, so it can be ruled out."

"Xue Xiaolian and Zhou Qiqi went to the concert together last night. It was already 11 o'clock after the concert. It was not easy to take a taxi, so they simply found a hotel nearby and stayed in a nearby hotel. Only then did they avoid the fire of the chemical factory and the two could communicate with each other. Do an alibi."

Yue Xingwen paused and looked back at everyone: "Xiao Wenhui's transcript is very strange. He said that he had been at home yesterday afternoon and had never gone out, but he called me to tell me that he was going to the hospital to accompany his daughter to see a doctor. Investigation data shows that his wife and daughter died in an accident five years ago."

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other.

Xu Yi was deeply puzzled: "But when I entered his house, I didn't see the portrait. He and his wife posted a wedding photo on the wall of the master bedroom. There were also ladies' slippers in the shoe cabinet at the door, and even in the bathroom. The wash cups are all lovers’ cups. There are also many girls’ toys and dolls in the children’s room?”

Liu Zhaoqing scratched the back of his head: "Since his wife and children are already dead, what does he still keep these things for? Besides, he watches ghost movies in the middle of the night... Does he believe in ghosts and gods? Thinking that keeping these daily necessities, his wife and children Will his soul stay with him forever?"

Ke Shaobin rubbed the goose bumps on his arm: "This, this person's mental state is abnormal, right?"

Jiang Pingce said coldly: "More importantly, he did not tell his colleagues in the chemical plant that his wife and daughter had died, and even used the daughter's broken legs as an excuse not to come to work."

Yue Xingwen didn't quite understand Xiao Wenhui's brain circuit either.

If it is said that the daily necessities of the wife and daughter are kept in order to miss them, what is the situation of using the "daughter's illness" as an excuse not to come to work? After the death of their relatives, normal people are reluctant to mention their names, so as not to provoke sadness, how can they openly use "the relatives are sick" as an excuse? Using his dead daughter as an excuse, isn't he guilty?

Xin Yan asked: "How did his wife and daughter die? Is there a clearer explanation?"

Yue Xingwen said: "In the police record, Xiao Wenhui replied that his wife and daughter were swimming in the sea when they were traveling to the island and accidentally drowned. Xiao Wenhui's statement is true - that is to say, Xiao Wenhui is lying."

Jiang Pingce said: "This person has lied a lot, and is currently listed as a key suspect by the police."

Is the murderer of the serial murder and arson case in a chemical factory really Xiao Wenhui?
