Chapter 11 The Ritual Begins 11

After questioning Lin Letian, Xie Jibai brought Lin Letian's boyfriend in again for questioning.

Lin Letian's boyfriend is a little younger than Lin Letian, a senior student.They had just known each other for a few days, and the process of getting to know each other was similar to what Lin Letian said, it was in the coffee shop.

Lin Letian is good-looking, especially rich, and the relationship between the two has improved by leaps and bounds. They have seen each other almost every day these days, and they are together from morning till night.

Xie Jibai asked: "Do you know anything about Miss Lin before she returned to China?"

The man said: "Le Tian told me a little bit, but I don't know much."

About Lin Letian's boyfriend who died abroad, this man actually knows a little bit.The man said that Lin Letian told him when he and Lin Letian first met.

"How is it?" Chen Wanting asked when he saw Xie Ji Bai and Chen Yancai walking out together.

Chen Yancai handed over the transcript to Chen Wanting.

Xie Jibai said: "That man doesn't seem to know anything. But Lin Letian must have hidden something and doesn't want to tell us."

"This person is very suspicious." Chen Wanting said.

Chen Yancai couldn't help asking: "But... what kind of grievances are there between Lin Letian and Liu Yingbei? I searched for a long time and checked for a long time, but I didn't find any special grievances between them before. No. And it's been a long time, why did Lin Letian kill Liu Yingbei? Although the eldest lady looked uncomfortable, but to be honest, what she said made sense. She looks good, no matter how you look at it, Liu Yingbei can't compare to her, so she couldn't be jealous and kill her."

Liu Zhihui was next to him, and through the open door, he could see the blackboard in the conference room, with photos of Liu Yingbei and Lin Letian pasted on it.In the photo, Liu Yingbei didn't have any make-up, and she looked submissive, very lacklustre, with a sallow complexion, and heavy dark circles under her eyes. She was indeed not as good-looking as Lin Letian in any way.

"The murderer is someone else?" Qin Xu, who had remained silent for a while, suddenly spoke.

Xie Jibai was stunned, not knowing what he was thinking. After hearing Qin Xu's words, he suddenly frowned and said, "Lin Letian and the people who wrote those books give people a very different feeling."

"Vice team, do you also think we checked the wrong direction?" Liu Zhihui scratched the back of his head.

Xie Jibai said: "No, there is something wrong with Lin Letian, that's for sure, we still have to investigate her. But, I suddenly thought... Maybe the person who wrote the novel was not the one who actually killed the person."

"Ah?" Chen Yancai asked: "Then how did he write those novels? Could it be that he has supernatural powers?"

"Cough cough," Chen Wanting coughed and said, "Don't shout so loudly."

Chen Yancai hurriedly continued in a low voice: "There are very murderous details in the novel, and the novel was written before the police detective even announced the murder."

Xie Jibai said: "I mean, maybe those murders were planned and designed by him, or maybe he was watching those murders."

Chen Wanting said: "Things are complicated now, and I don't know what's going on at Forensic Doctor Tang."

It would take a long time to re-examine the autopsy, and there will be no reply from Tang Xin for a while.

Everyone entered the meeting room, and then pasted all the materials that had been sorted out on the blackboard one by one, and the stickers were full.

Xie Jibai said, "Let's sort out the whole case."

As he spoke, he stood up, pointed to a photo, and said, "This is a photo of the deceased Liu Yingbei and Lin Letian when they entered and exited the restaurant at the same time. It was monitored from the restaurant. The time was [-] days ago at [-]:[-] p.m. Next to it is a photo of them leaving the restaurant at [-]:[-]. At this time, the deceased has not been killed. When the deceased left, he left a makeup mirror. "

Afterwards, the deceased Liu Yingbei and Lin Letian went home respectively, leaving the restaurant and walking in different directions.According to Lin Letian, she went home that day and took a taxi to go back, but she didn't have a ticket to take a taxi, and she didn't remember the taxi's license plate.She lives alone, so no one can prove it to her at all.After she got home, she just rested and didn't go out again, and no one could testify to her.

But at 23:[-] that night, Liu Yingbei appeared in the suburbs, caught a taxi in a panic, and asked the driver for help to go to the police station.However, when they arrived in the urban area, Liu Yingbei asked the driver to change the route to a coffee shop, got off the car in front of the coffee shop, and disappeared.

When I got here, there were also photos taken by the surveillance equipment in front of the cafe, proving that Liu Yingbei was still alive.

According to the results of Tang's forensic doctor's first autopsy, the time of death of the deceased Liu Yingbei was almost from this night to the next day.

No one saw Liu Yingbei's face the next day.However, someone testified that the deceased had not only invited Lin Letian to dinner, but also had an appointment for an outing the next day.

But Liu Yingbei didn't show up the next day, and Lin Letian seemed to have forgotten about it. She claimed to have overslept at home, and after waking up, she didn't find Liu Yingbei looking for her, so she never contacted Liu Yingbei again.

Lin Letian got up that day and went to the coffee shop downstairs. Someone testified to him that she was not alone all day.

Chen Yancai said: "Just looking at this, if Lin Letian wants to kill Liu Yingbei, there is a chance to commit the crime. After all, she was alone that night and said that she went home to sleep, but there was no one to testify for her."

Although the apartment that Lin Letian rented was quite nice, and there were security guards at the door 24 hours a day, but the security guards really had no memory of seeing Lin Letian that night, and they couldn't testify against Lin Letian.

In other words, if Lin Letian finds an opportunity to kill her after she and Liu Yingbei part ways, there is enough time.

In this way, it can also explain very well why the two of them had an appointment to go on an outing, but Liu Yingbei disappeared without contacting Lin Letian, and Lin Letian was not surprised.Because Lin Letian knew that Liu Yingbei was already dead at that time, and it was impossible to go on an outing with her again.

but……

Xie Jibai pointed to the next photo and said: "However, four days ago, that is, after ten o'clock in the evening on Tuesday, someone saw the deceased Liu Yingbei again. And it was Liu Yingbei who was alive. Liu Yingbei appeared and went to the restaurant to pick up the bag. In the vanity mirror, the waiter testified that he was indeed seeing such a person, but the waiter didn't have a deep impression of Liu Yingbei, so he didn't observe it carefully."

The deceased appeared alive, which overturned all the previous reasoning. If Liu Yingbei hadn't died at this time, then there would be no murderer at all.

But what about that corpse?

Xie Jibai continued: "I have asked Chen Yancai to check. Recently, there is no missing person who roughly matches Liu Yingbei's appearance, age and gender. This possibility can be preliminarily ruled out."

"Oh..." Chen Yancai said, "I don't know what's going on, I'm not good at this."

Liu Zhihui scratched his head and didn't say anything, but he always worked mainly on physical strength.

Qin Xu stared at the all-gray photo on the blackboard, and said, "There are also those two photos received by the deputy team, and what does 'the ceremony begins' mean?"

After Qin Xu finished speaking, everyone fell silent and didn't speak for a long time. The only sound in the room was the ticking of the clock.

Chen Wanting suddenly slapped the table, startling everyone.

Chen Yancai stared wide-eyed and asked, "Boss, what did you find?"

"Uh..." Chen Wanting said, "I just want to say, it's late today, everyone should go back after get off work."

As soon as Chen Wanting said that, everyone's eyes focused on the clock, all with surprised expressions.

"It's so late?" Liu Zhihui said.

Chen Yancai stood up, stretched her waist, and said, "My back hurts from sitting."

Chen Wanting said: "Okay, okay, let's go home first. Xiaobai, are you having dinner at the bureau? Why don't you come home with me for a meal?"

Chen Yancai smiled and said, "Boss, aren't you going to the cake shop next door after get off work today?"

"Didn't the boss go there at noon?" Liu Zhihui asked strangely.

Chen Wanting: "..."

"Oh, you all know that the boss went there at noon today?" Chen Yancai said.

Liu Zhihui smirked and said, "As soon as I entered the room, I could smell the cake."

"Let's go." Qin Xu stood up, said goodbye to everyone, and then walked towards the door.

"Little Qinzi, wait for me." Liu Zhihui hurried out, but fortunately caught up with Qin Xu in the elevator, and the two of them took the elevator together and went downstairs.

"Ah, ah, that's great." Chen Yancai said, "Xiao Liu is such an idiot, yet someone cooks for him. Xiao Qinzi really has the potential to be a wife."

Chen Wanting said, "Envy? You should be old enough to find a boyfriend."

Chen Yancai pursed her lips and said, "Boss, are you taking advantage of my mother? How can you talk to her in one breath?"

Chen Wanting said, "I'm worried for you."

"Worry about me?" Chen Yancai puffed up her chest and said, "You see, I don't look terrible, so why don't you worry about not being able to find a man?"

Chen Wanting smiled and said: "I remember, a certain person made a bet with Team Ai next door that he would definitely get married before [-], and if he didn't get married, we'd argue with him."

As soon as this was mentioned, Chen Yancai's face turned dark, and she said, "How do you guys still remember the joke from so long ago?"

When Xie Jibai heard this, he couldn't help but also smiled.In fact, Ai Dui next door is also a pretty good person, with good figure and good looks, but his temper is a bit hot, and it would be a good match to stand with Chen Yancai, provided that they quarrel as long as the two of them don't see each other.But he didn't dare to say that, after he said it, Chen Yancai was about to leave violently.

Xie Jibai tidied up his things and said, "I'm going first, I'll go home for dinner today."

"Ah?" Chen Wanting and Chen Yancai were both stunned.

Chen Wanting said, "Is your kitchen able to cook? The whole kitchen was burnt down last time when you cooked bowls of noodles. How many days did it take to redecorate it?"

"Pfft—" Chen Yancai said, "I finally found someone more destructive than me."

Xie Jibai didn't think so, and said, "Forensic doctor Tang knows how to cook."
