Please don't stick to Officer Qi [criminal investigation]

The police had considered this theory before, but they rejected it because the suspects had no time to commit the crime.

But now, Qi Lin has a new idea.When you don't know what the opponent's trick is, maybe you can just catch a part of it and solve it.

For example, in this case, if it is not clear who killed the person, then the investigation can also start from the sealing wax.As long as the truth of the sealing wax can be ascertained, the method of murder will gradually surface.

It is not a method of exclusion, but a real and positive way to sort out cases.It's a lot of work, but it's a good idea.

Qi Lin used the tip of his knife to draw in the gap of the plate, drawing a long horizontal line as a timeline.

This case is divided into several sections, the first is the disappearance, the disappearance of these people is much longer than the estimated time of death, and the second is the sealing wax, and it has taken a long time from the death to the sealing wax.

If the disappearance is the beginning of the case, then there will be many interpretations of the disappearance, or he committed suicide, or simply ran away from home without being discovered.Qi Lin is more inclined to the former, but for the two victims whose derailment was discovered, it is also possible that they ran away from home because they were ashamed to see others.

The timeline is divided into two here, and Qi Lin is separated by a vertical line.

If it is sex, it means that the two girls were known by the murderer when they first cheated, and the murderer quickly carried out sex activities and killed the two girls at a specific time.

If they ran away from home, then there is a high probability that the murderer learned about the two people's cheating through other means later.Moreover, neither of them chose to leave home during the period when the derailment was just discovered, indicating that something happened in the middle, which strengthened the determination of the two to run away from home.

For the time being, there are only two inferences in the first part, and Qi Lin began to examine the second part.

The inferences of the second part are simpler than those of the first part.Regardless of whether he ran away from home or committed suicide, the murderer chose a moderate time to kill the two, which means that during that time period, the murderer suffered an emotional change, or that time was a time when he suffered a major change. On the anniversary, the murderer deliberately chose that time in order to satisfy his sense of ritual.

As for the third part, Qi Lin has no idea yet.He didn't understand why sealing wax had to be done so long after a person had died.

He planned to start investigating directly from the third part. After all, there are not many people who can seal the wax. As long as this puzzle is solved, the first few parts can be narrowed down.

At present, there are several people who can seal the wax near the wax museum, including Ivan, his assistant, and an unknown employee of the mold factory.

In addition, there should be people who have secretly learned wax figure technology, which needs to be checked in the future.

Let's start with Ivan and his assistants.

But it was late tonight, and Qi Lin was not in a hurry to go. He just waited in the hotel for another night, and wrote down all his inferences in his notebook by the way, so that he could sort out the clues.

And Shi Le didn't look too nervous, she was still sitting on the bed, shaking her feet while watching the Korean drama.

"Is this Korean drama so good?" Qi Lin gently closed his notebook after finishing his work.

"Yeah, it's beautiful. It's vacation time, so you should relax." Shi Le said, "We don't need to worry about this case, just let them investigate it."

"That's not acceptable. If we don't find out for a day, there may be new victims." Qi Lin rubbed his stiff shoulder blades, "Although I don't have the authority to handle the case for the time being, it is still my duty to catch the murderer."

"Okay, as long as you're happy." Shi Le didn't seem to buy it very much, and continued to devote all his attention to his Korean dramas.

The next day, wax studio.

This studio was specially established by the organizer of the wax figure exhibition for Ivan, so no matter the decoration style or details, it catered to Ivan's favorite style as much as possible.

White, a piece of white, no extra color at all.

When they arrived at the studio, Tian Wei and Xiao Wang were standing at the door. When they saw Qi Lin coming, they saluted.

Qi Lin knew without asking, it was Huang Yuanliang who also found out here.

"Huang Yuanliang is inside?" Qi Lin asked, tilting his head.

"Not long after we arrived, Mr. Xie was also inside."

"Xie Yan?" Qi Lin raised his eyebrows, looked inside, and really saw Xie Yan standing in front of an art wall.

He remembered that when he checked the appointment form in his psychological counseling room yesterday, all the appointments for today were obviously full.

It seems that all the appointments have been turned down, and it should be the same for yesterday's time slot.But Xie Yan lied to Qi Lin, saying that the person who made the appointment canceled it himself.

"It's really strange, why is this studio so white." When Shi Le walked into the studio, he snorted, "If the wax figure studio is too white, it should be easy to get dirty."

"I heard that it was made so white to cater to Ivan. Ivan liked white very much. He even liked to wear white suits."

"This is too conflicting. Someone who obviously doesn't care about his own cleanliness likes white." Shi Le said, "He's the one who won't notice the paint on his shoes."

"That's their own business," Qi Lin shrugged, "Go in, let's eavesdrop on what they are saying."

I don't know why Huang Yuanliang sent Xiao Wang and Tian Wei away. In the studio, apart from Ivan and Huang Yuanliang standing in the middle, Xie Yan was studying the paintings hanging on the art wall. The police are doing a blood reaction on one side of the carpet.

While Huang Yuanliang was not paying attention, Qi Lin took Shi Le and hid behind the workbench.

He clearly heard Huang Yuanliang asking Ivan: "Why do you put rose petals in the wax figure?"

Rose petal?Qi Lin pricked up his ears. He didn't remember finding rose petals in the wax figure.

"I have never had this habit." Ivan said, "Every work is my child, and I would never mess around like this."

"Then what is this?" Huang Yuanliang held up a small evidence bag, in which lay a pink rose.

The red color of the rose is a bit seductive, as if twisting the branches in this pure white room, exuding a strange and deathly breath continuously.

Qi Lin unconsciously pushed Shi Le behind him.He was very impressed with this rose.

"Your fingerprints were found on it, and the petals are inside the wax figure." Huang Yuanliang stroked his beard.

"No, it's definitely not mine—I just remembered, I saw a bouquet of roses at the door a few mornings ago, and I touched them. The fingerprints must have been stained at that time!" Ivan looked excited, " No, you can check the monitoring!"

"The monitoring of this section happened to be broken that day, and there is nothing. I think it's your fault! Please come with us." Huang Yuanliang winked at the king, and the king supported Ivan's shoulder, took him out.

When passing the workbench, the king saw the two sneaking behind the workbench.

"Team Qi, newcomers, what are you doing here?" The king hurriedly turned his head to look at Huang Yuanliang, and after making sure that Huang Yuanliang didn't pay attention to this side, the king hurried around behind the entrance wall, "Why are you here?"

"Let's take a look at the situation." Qi Lin asked, "Where is the investigation of the case now?"

The king called Xiao Wang, took Ivan into the police car first, and then said to Qi Lin: "Huang Yuanliang now prefers that the murderer is someone who can make wax figures, and it happened that he noticed the rose in the evidence, so he After checking the fingerprints, I came to look for Ivan."

"But I haven't seen that rose petal before." Qi Lin recalled, the evidence seemed to appear out of thin air.

"It's because some criminal investigation staff put this evidence in the evidence box during the autopsy, so everyone didn't pay attention at first. In fact, I didn't find it either. I only saw it later when I sorted out the evidence box. , put it at the bottom."

"So careless, who is responsible?"

"Who else is there, my brother." The king squinted at Xiao Wang who was chatting with Tian Wei outside the door, "I handed over this evidence to Lao Huang as soon as I found it. Fortunately, it was not too late."

Qi Lin also followed his gaze and looked out. It stands to reason that Xiao Wang should not be such a careless person, but no one can avoid omissions at work, so he didn't think much about it.

All he knows now is that this case is related to the previous case.

Is the mysterious person in the previous cases the murderer of this case?he asked himself.It seems so, after all, only a murderer can put a rose in a wax figure.

"Okay, team Qi, I've brought Ivan back to the police station, you check slowly, don't be discovered by Lao Huang." The Great Dynasty Qi Lin waved his hand and left the studio.

"Senior, do you think Mr. Ivan is really the murderer?" Shi Le tugged at Qi Lin's sleeve, "I don't think so."

Qi Lin also didn't claim that Ivan was the murderer, but he still wanted to hear Shi Le's opinion.

"Because Mr. Ivan is not a careful person, but there is no fingerprint left on the corpse. Besides, he only left fingerprints on the rose petals, which seems too deliberate." After that, Shi Le After thinking about it, "Let's catch up and explain the situation to them, let them send Mr. Ivan back, otherwise it would be bad if we wronged a good person."

Qi Lin stopped him, "It's okay, I just went for a formality, the king and the others won't arrest him without full evidence. Moreover, I also want to know the murderer's purpose in choosing Ivan, why he was made to take the blame... "

He froze for a moment, "I remember there was an assistant in the studio, I don't know why I didn't see him."

"I'll ask." Shi Le ran to the door, and then ran back, "I asked, Senior Tian Wei said that the assistant was at home, and now he is also one of the suspects, so Huang Yuanliang asked him not to run around, and sent People are watching."

As he said that, Shi Le opened his hand, and there was a note lying in his palm, "This is the home address of that assistant that Senior Tian Wei told me."

If Ivan is to be blamed, the assistant is of course the most suspected person and the one who has benefited the most.
