Escape From 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 on-duty personnel and obtained some information. Please solve the case before the police (within 3 days). If you solve the case slower than the police, you will fail the assessment." .”

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

Yue Xingwen said: "Hurry up, everyone."

Time was running out just now, Ke Shaobin only had time to copy the relevant documents of the fire department, the police force and the hospital to his laptop, but did not have time to read them at all.Now back to the safe underground base, everyone can finally review the information from the beginning.

Dozens of gigabytes of materials, including text transcripts, surveillance videos, pictures, etc., Ke Shaobin will definitely not be able to read them all by himself, Yue Xingwen simply said: "Let the hospital part be handed over to Senior Brother Liu and Senior Brother Xu, and even laymen can't read it." Understand the case."

Ke Shaobin directly shared and transferred the folder copied from the hospital 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 part was handed over to Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce, who had the strongest analytical skills, while Ke Shaobin and Xin Yan handled the information found by the fire department.

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

Everyone began to work together, and there were whispered discussions in the basement from time to time.

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

Xin Yan calmly said: "The investigation results of the fire brigade showed that the cause of the explosion in the chemical plant was that the flammable gas in the waste water workshop encountered an open flame, and it was suspected that it was caused by a short circuit of the wires. It has been completely burned down, and it is not sure whether it was an accident or man-made."

Ke Shaobin said: "A truck stopped at the fire exit outside the factory that night, blocking the road, which prevented the fire truck from going to the fire scene immediately to rescue. The result of the current investigation is an accident. The truck driver was found. Drunk driving, violation of regulations Stopped and was detained by the traffic police."

Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce looked at each other, the latter frowned and said, "Accident? Could this be too coincidental?"

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 few suspects we suspect. A 32-year-old male, single, with both parents, has ten years of driving experience, and has been responsible for helping The chemical plant delivers the goods... Do you think he will be bought by the murderer?"

Yue Xingwen shook his head: "Probably not. The fire in a chemical plant is no joke. Hundreds of people died. How could it be easily bought? I am more inclined. The murderer knows the truck driver very well. Seeing him park the car there, Only waiting for the opportunity to commit crimes."

Jiang Pingce said: "In other words, 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 just parked outside the door, blocking the Live in the fire escape?"

"The four corpses we saw in the wastewater workshop are obviously related to 'that incident'. Chen Xiumei was also killed after resigning yesterday afternoon, but there is another 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 dead." Liu Zhaoqing interjected, "We saw his name in the hospital records, due to severe burns all over the body and septic shock, the rescue failed, and he was pronounced dead within half an hour of being sent to the hospital. "

Lin Yusen was the main object of suspicion at the beginning. It was not until yesterday afternoon when Chen Xiumei died that Xin Yan and Ke Shaobin witnessed him working in the factory and had no time to commit crimes. Then everyone ruled out his suspicion.

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, "Brother, has the hospital compiled a list of the dead and injured?"

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

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

Many of the 80 people who died were innocent employees of chemical plants that had nothing to do with the case.

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

Ke Shaobin concluded: "That is to say, 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. Including the suspects we suspected, as well as the truck driver and warehouse manager ,security guard?"

Jiang Pingce said: "Well, the murderer would not be so stupid as to burn himself to death, so the murderer must be among the seven people. The truck driver had been drinking last night. He has a certificate, so it can be ruled out; the warehouse manager and the security guard are not educated. Gao, and he has no relevant experience in chemical experiments, so it should be impossible to produce a large amount of hydrofluoric acid to kill people."

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

Qin Lu said: "Xiao Wenhui's behavior is a bit abnormal. In the middle of the night, he watched a horror movie alone at home. His wife and daughter were not at home, but his residence was a very common layout of three bedrooms and two halls. No hidden laboratory was found, and no The storage room for storing chemicals; Mr. Zhang lives in a three-story single-family villa with a large basement full of red wine. There are only nanny and his wife and children in the villa, and he himself is not at home. "

Qin Miao added: "Xue Xiaolian's hometown is very remote in the countryside, Qin Lu's boards can't go that far, we haven't investigated it for the time being; Yu Chenming lives in an old two-bedroom and two-living room house in the suburbs, but he is at home , When we passed by, he fell asleep, and a portrait of a woman was found in the house, 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, with a very delicate appearance, completely different from Zhou Jianan who died that year.

Ke Shaobin said: "So, the 'widowed spouse' filled in Yu Chenming's information form is also an interference item? His wife has indeed passed away, but it has nothing to do with Zhou Jianan who died in a fire 25 years ago. His suspicion can also be ruled out, right? "

Yue Xingwen nodded and said: "It is indeed our subjective judgment to list him as a suspect. Xin Yan speculates that the relatives of the murderer may have been corroded, disfigured and other injuries that would be worse than death. Yu Chenming has no motive for committing the crime. Moreover, The criminal police records can also rule out his suspicion—his wife died of lung cancer five years ago."

Ke Shaobin asked curiously: "When the criminal police saw the mutilated corpses in the factory, they must have found people who were still alive to make notes? Xingwen, Ping Ce, the information you compiled should be very important, tell everyone quickly!"

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

Yue Xingwen said: "Zhang is always on a business trip and is not in this city. After receiving the call from the police, he bought a plane ticket and rushed 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. After watching the concert, it was already 11 o'clock. It was not easy to take a taxi, so they simply found a hotel nearby to stay. This is how they avoided the fire in the chemical plant. The two can communicate with each other. Make an alibi."

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

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other.

Xu Yishen was puzzled and said: "But when I entered his house, I didn't see the portrait. He and his wife had a wedding photo on the wall of the master bedroom, and there were women's slippers in the shoe cabinet at the door, and there were even a pair of slippers in the bathroom. The washing cups are all couple cups. In the children's room, there are also many girls' toys and dolls?"

Liu Zhaoqing scratched the back of his head: "Since his wife and children have died a long time ago, 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? He thinks that keeping these daily necessities, his wife and children Will his soul stay with him forever?"

Ke Shaobin rubbed the goosebumps on his arms: "Is this person mentally abnormal?"

Jiang Pingce said coldly: "More importantly, he did not tell his colleagues in the chemical plant the fact that his wife and daughter had died, and even used his 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 purpose of keeping the daily necessities of the wife and daughter is to miss them, but what is the situation of using "daughter is sick" 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 arouse sadness. How could they openly use "the relatives are sick" as an excuse?Isn't he guilty of using his dead daughter as an excuse?

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

Yue Xingwen said: "In the police records, Xiao Wenhui replied that his wife and daughter drowned accidentally when they went swimming in the sea while traveling on the island. What Xiao Wenhui said is right—in other words, Xiao Wenhui is lying."

Jiang Pingce said: "This person is full of lies, and he is currently listed as a key suspect by the police."

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