Ten Billions of Stardust on the Wire

*November 11

Eight hours after the incident, Wang Yang was selected as a consultant to the case supervision and investigation team.Meng Liang and other colleagues were surprised.Wang Yang has the experience of being dismissed, which is a stain in his career, and he is really not the best candidate to represent the E city.

Even so, the superior still chose Wang Yang among the applicants, and people could not help but suspect his intentions. After all, intervening in the investigation of the business world is an errand that offends others.Meng Liang was sweating for him in his heart, and quietly reminded him to be careful when he went to the "above".

"It's okay," Wang Yang smiled gently, "When you come back, remember to welcome me." He patted Meng Liang, and his palm fell heavily on his shoulder.

Wei Qingyang's death is regrettable, but this assassination is not difficult to understand. Even ordinary street uncles can explain this violent incident clearly and logically.

The heinous method of murder is not like an impromptu murder. Behind the Lingchi case is likely to be the intricate chain of interests within the United Commercial Bank. The election for the next chairman of the United Chamber of Commerce is coming soon. Less than 32% is likely to be elected.

Since entering the new interstellar world, the expansion of business in the development of more than a hundred years has led to the status of the economy gradually higher than politics, and the economy has become the new politics.Public opinion pays more attention to the general election of the chairman of the chamber of commerce than to the political election.

Wei Qingyang, as the second son of the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and the leader of Faust Technology, has absolute strength among the newcomers. He was killed at this time, and it is hard not to think of him as a competitor in the Chamber of Commerce.

All kinds of suspicious voices on the Internet are everywhere, and some writers even have their brains open. In just 8 hours, countless versions of the story details are uploaded to the cloud.The plot of the crime story is complete, from the motives of the crime, the means of murder, to the hidden secrets, and the black hands behind the scenes.

However, those business elites who are blindly suspected by the public are not stupid. No one would do something like that without 300 taels of silver here.They did not directly refute that this matter had nothing to do with them, but sincerely recalled the days of working with Wei Qingyang in their eulogy, and lamented the loss of the light of righteousness, making it difficult to tell whether it was a cat crying for a mouse or a sincere condolence.

The doubts in the whole case mainly focused on two points: first, Wei Qingyang's death was tragic, and second, the body was found in a special place - an express hotel in the red light district.

"Why did Wei Qingyang go to that kind of place?" Yan Yuhang withdrew from the virtual space where the crime scene was restored, the veins on his forehead were protruding, and he kept rubbing them with his hands.

"Simply subverting the public's perception of his image! The possibility of throwing his body after death has been ruled out before. This kind of public figure died in a red-light district. Tsk...could it be a murder of love?"

Yan Yuhang is the deputy team member of the supervision team. His family has a background, and his father Yan Zhengdong is a high-ranking government official.Yan Yuhang has never been wronged since he was a child, and he has a sense of money in every gesture.

His so-called "love killing" speculation is not unreasonable. The deceased's ex-girlfriend Chen Xiao is a well-known singer.However, after the two broke up, there were rumors that "the relationship between the two is broken, and Zhu Shengsheng is jealous", but these are all lace news knocked out by "Jian Ke", which cannot be true.

The leader of the supervision team is Li Shengfeng from D District, who is well-known and has been in the frontline anti-drug force for ten years, nicknamed "Modao".

Wang Yang had some impressions of this middle-aged man with a laser scar on his forehead. They met when they were investigating a huge fire in the R&D department three years ago.Later, when Wang Yang was punished, Li Shengfeng seemed to have spoken well of him.Wang Yang gave him a slight nod across the crowd.

There were 6 people in each team. When the team members met for the first time on November 11, Wang Yang noticed a woman was looking at him. Wang Yang thought she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her.He greeted politely, and the woman immediately smiled at him, mechanically stretching the corners of her mouth.

"Hello, Consultant Wang," said the woman.

"Hello."

"There are corresponding names and photos on the list. If you can't remember who I am, you can look at the list." She seemed to see Wang Yang's embarrassment, and kept smiling politely, if that expression was counted as a smile.

Wang Yang was taken aback. He suddenly remembered where he had seen this tone of voice and expression before—on a legal program!Her name is An Qi, she used to be a resident guest on a legal program with high ratings, and now she is a judge of the Supreme People's Court in G District.

No wonder it looks familiar, Zicheng used to like watching that legal program the most, Wang Yang thought.He also followed his younger brother to watch a bit, and had a superficial impression.

Wang Zicheng was seven years younger than him, and he was very innocent. He once joked: "Brother, you are a police officer. I will go to the procuratorate in the future, and I will find a girlfriend who studies law. Our family will gather together the public security law!" But He did not take the path of "public prosecution and law", but entered the life research institute of Faust Technology.

It's really childish... Wang Yang smiled at the memory, loosened his hands, and then realized that he and An Qi had held hands for an indefinitely long time just now.People in this era are very sensitive to physical contact, especially if the two are not familiar with each other. Fortunately, An Qi doesn't care.

"The autopsy report is out!" Forensic doctor Yuan Xiaojia flashed from the virtual round table in the meeting room. She had just come out of the dissection room, and the residual formaldehyde smell on her body was directly connected to the meeting room through the sensory signal system. An Qi wrinkled her nose.

"The previous judgment was basically correct. Excessive blood loss caused death, nothing else," Forensic Yuan manipulated the screen to upload the details of the report, and raised his hand on his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead. The painful period before the victim's death... is the same as Ling Chi, the person has been alive for less than a certain number of knives..."

The round table meeting room was dead silent.What is Ling Chi?A thousand cuts to pieces is called Ling Chi.

Wang Yang remembered the "Sandalwood Punishment" that he saw in an antique bookstore near his hometown when he was in school. The book described the process of Ling Chi's execution in great detail.Under the execution platform, the audience is noble.It is hard to say whether there is any special metaphor behind this alternative way of death.

The photo of Wei Qingyang's corpse was enlarged on the screen, and the bright red light was printed on everyone's face and body, stimulating their numb nerves when looking at the corpse.

"The murderer may have a medical background." Yuan Xiaojia gave a dry laugh inappropriately.Not everyone can laugh when they see such a corpse that cannot even be dissected.

"Are you sure it's artificial?" Yan Yuhang questioned, "AI can also kill people. The risk value of such cases is so high, it is impossible for the criminal to do it himself."

Li Shengfeng didn't take his eyes off the screen, his brows were furrowed, and there was a laser scar on his forehead.He waved his hand to signal Yan Yuhang to shut up, "How about trace inspection?"

AI has no fingerprints, and may not touch the victim at all when it is knifed.Even if it is a bionic human, its fingerprints will not be exactly the same as the skin of a real person - because the "Bionic Human Charter" stipulates: In order to prevent bionic human beings from replacing humans, it is forbidden to make bionic human beings too realistic and confuse human identification detection.

Bionics cannot pass human identity authentication, they can only execute orders within the authority of bionics.If the bionic person is ordered by a human to kill, the command signal will be intercepted and the police will be called immediately.

With the double insurance of law and system, trace inspection will definitely be able to detect clues.Li Shengfeng waited for the report from the trace inspector.

However, his questions went unanswered.

Everyone's eyes were focused on a man who voluntarily withdrew from the round table and sat on the edge of the conference room.Wang Yang remembered that his name was Xu Ji, and he was the trace inspector in the team.But at this moment, Xu Ji kept his head down, crossed his fingers on his forehead, and buried his face in the shadow of his arms.

He was shaking his legs, no, his whole body was shaking.

"Comrade Xu?" Yuan Xiaojia caught a glimpse of Captain Li's increasingly stern expression, and asked tentatively.

Xu Ji was shocked.

"True ink marks!" Yan Yuhang smacked his lips, but he didn't dare to make a sound when he met Li Dui's knife-like eyes.

"Fingerprints...some..." Xu Ji took a deep breath.He tried to calm down, but he failed, his voice was trembling, "The fingerprints left on the body of the deceased...the fingerprints on his body are all his own..."

"What?!" Everyone panicked.

"The fingerprints are all Wei Qingyang's own!" Xu Ji suddenly stood up and shouted, "No one else! He did it himself! He cut the knife himself! How could it be..."

Later, Wang Yang and other people knew that not only Xu Ji, but also all the trace inspectors including the superior department were on the verge of collapse after the analysis meeting. The information in their hands was reliable, but the conclusion was unacceptable. "I kill myself" is an impossible proposition, let alone such an extremely cruel method.

There are hundreds of cuts all over his body, like a child's mouth.It hurts to think about it.

Wang Yang leaned back in the chair, rubbing his fingers involuntarily, there was no smoke between them, but he was used to this action.There was no second person present at the crime scene, and frankly, he didn't find this conclusion surprising.Just like the fire in a biotechnology factory three years ago, there was no one in the scientific research room where the fire was located except Wang Zicheng...

In the archives of that year, the cause of the incident was written as a spontaneous combustion in the laboratory and a sudden fire.

How could it be spontaneous combustion?Wang Yang thought, his knuckles turning white.

How could no one set fire to...

Zicheng is so smart, how could he not find out that the storage cabinet is on fire?

Someone must have set it on fire.must.Wang Yang is determined.This is his intuition that he has practiced for many years, and he trusts his intuition.

"Consultant Wang?"

Wang Yang came back to his senses and met An Qi's gaze.

Li Shengfeng looked at him coldly from the other end of the table, and Yan Yuhang curled his lips in dissatisfaction. He obviously thought that Wang Yang had slipped away.The meeting was dull, and no one was very interested in the current situation where there were almost no clues.

"Is there anything Consultant Wang wants to say?" Li Shengfeng knocked on the table.

Wang Yang rubbed his chin. The old-fashioned wristwatch on the left hand of the corpse was an adult birthday gift from the deceased's father, Wei Xiaoqian. The deceased Wei Qingyang liked to collect antique precision machinery, and he had confirmed all these with the deceased's family.But this hand still holds something, "The left hand of the corpse—"

"There is a bell in the left hand of the corpse! Xu Ji said it just now, didn't you hear it?" Yan Yuhang snorted, and casually drew the holographic projection of the evidence in front of Wang Yang.The blood-stained silver bell is small, only the size of a corn kernel, and its image floats in the air and rotates slowly before Wang Yang's eyes.

"We are here to solve the case, not to hold hearings, let alone to have a long vacation! The higher authorities appointed you to act as a real representative." As soon as Yan Yuhang opened his mouth, everyone in the audience was scolded for a lot of energy .

Li Shengfeng frowned, signaling him to shut up.

Wang Yang didn't speak, he pushed aside the silver bell in front of him, and tiled the photos of the scene in the space.These photos were all taken within 24 hours of the discovery of the body.

Zoom in, zoom in, zoom in, zoom in and out, one by one.Wang Yang focused everyone's attention from the bloody body to Wei Qingyang's left hand.

More than forty superimposed photos successfully attracted everyone's attention, because in the photos, the incision on the back of Wei Qingyang's left hand was changing!

The position of each knife edge is slightly different.

It was only 24 hours after the crime happened, even if the left hand of the corpse decayed rapidly in the polluted air, the wound would not move horizontally without changing its length!

Yuan Xiaojia covered her mouth, her eyes were full of panic, "Consultant Wang, how did you see it?! Such a tiny thing..."

"What is this? Human skin is like this?" An Qi looked suspiciously at Li Shengfeng and the others. Her calm eyes stayed on Wang Yang for a long time intentionally or unintentionally.Wang Yang noticed.

At this time, there was another pair of eyes staring at Wang Yang.He sat with his knees tucked in front of the monitoring screen, dressed like a clown, the color of his underwear was divided into two from the middle, half blue, half pigeon blue, the fabric was so thin that it made people feel anxious and itchy.

There's a new show coming up tonight, and he's the only one.
