Chapter 1001 Question 2

Chapter 1001 Second Question

Confirming that Li Dianzhong was murdered did not ease people's emotions.

On the contrary, when Jiang Yuan said this conclusion, even though everyone was prepared, their hearts still tightened.

This is equivalent to opening another new case.

If it was suicide, it could be said that he committed suicide out of fear of punishment, or other similar explanations. But if it was homicide, it can almost be said that there was a mastermind behind it.

There is no need for any professionals to judge, ordinary people can see that this is murder to silence the witness.

But opening a new case, which is a 20-year-old backlog, is too difficult. It is so difficult that people are afraid to try.

"Since it's confirmed to be homicide, let's continue the investigation." Director You was drinking tea, and his voice was not loud, but to everyone's ears, he sounded a little determined.

"Then let's continue." Tao Lu looked at Jiang Yuan.

At this point in the case, he can only rely on Jiang Yuan.

In fact, the case has not started yet and the actual difficulty is still uncertain, but handling backlog cases is like sailing in the desert. If you really encounter a simple backlog case, it may be that you just happened to take the right path, not that the case is really simple.

There may be a road in the desert, or there may be no road at all. But no matter there is a road or not, you'd better have a team of camels and an experienced guide.

Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "First, take Li Dianzhong's photo to Wang Futing. Don't tell him who he is. Well, take photos of a few more people and let him identify them. If he recognizes them, ask for details. Also, send someone to visit the people around Li Dianzhong, relatives, friends, colleagues, etc., to see if there is any information."

"Yes." Shen Yaowei quickly agreed and went to distribute tasks.

Director You nodded and asked, "Wang Futing, is he the insider you arrested earlier, the accomplice in the murder case?"

"Yes, it's him." Jiang Yuan said.

"Well, this person is a breakthrough. We can ask him first." Director You looked like he was waiting. Then he turned to Jiang Yuan and asked, "Have you shown him the photo before?"

"He saw it, but didn't recognize him." Tao Lu explained, "We showed him group photos, as well as photos of workshops, work groups, and different offices. The suspect Li Dianzhong was in several of the photos, but Wang Futing didn't recognize him. He should have seen a single photo, because the factory had thousands of employees, and they had already been laid off and split up. Many of the photos we found were taken several years or even more than ten years later."

Jiang Yuan was not as cautious as Tao Lu, and said straightforwardly: "There were too many people, and Wang Futing's memory was not that reliable. He didn't look carefully enough."

Recognizing people by looking at their photos is not reliable enough. Just like recognizing a friend from 20 years ago, it is not strange if you can recognize him, and it is not strange if you can't recognize him.

Of course, some people are very good at recognizing people, but some people are not so good at this. In modern society, there are many people who claim to be face-blind. Some people can't even remember colleagues wearing different clothes or makeup. If time is added, it will be even more difficult.

It is not impossible to ask Wang Futing to recognize Li Dianzhong, his brief co-worker in the case, but it cannot be forced either.

Director You nodded and said, "Then ask now, I'll wait and see."

He obviously wanted a definite answer, and in a way, he also needed evidence. Eyewitness evidence, even if it was from 20 years ago, is at least a form of evidence.

Tao Lu understood Director You's thoughts very well, so he urged everyone to work.

Looking back, Tao Lu added, as if chatting, "The factory was already in trouble at the time, and no longer recruited outside workers. When they needed young people to work, they first hired temporary workers, then used the contract worker quota to support the temporary workers, and then used the regular worker quota to support the non-staff workers. But when it came time to pay out money and benefits, these people were not on the list. Non-staff workers like Li Dianzhong were not that close to the people in the company. It might have been easier to find his photo back then, but it's not easy to find it now."

"Didn't they say that the flying claw he learned was quite difficult? Is he willing to be a non-staff member?" Director You suddenly connected it to the previous evidence.

"He is still learning the flying claw and probably hasn't mastered it completely yet." Jiang Yuan said.

Tao Lu smiled and said, "I have a job, doing burglary part-time, which was not outstanding in the 90s."

Many thieves start stealing because they can't find a job or have no skills. But some thieves may have had jobs before, but because of petty or major thefts, they were fired and had to concentrate on stealing.

From a more neutral point of view, Li Dianzhong may have gone through a period of confusion back then.

A group of people began to dig deeper based on Li Dianzhong's identity.

Compared with the investigation at the beginning of the case, this investigation was much simpler and smoother.

The previous investigations were all following the tracks of the previous task force, and there were almost no useful clues. The things that could be investigated had been investigated repeatedly by the previous detectives.

But the Li Dianzhong case was different. Although it was a sequel to the Jianmenyuan case, the case itself was treated as an abnormal death, that is, it was closed as suicide, so it was closed without any effective investigation.

Now, if we follow the line of Li Dianzhong, the amount of clues we get will be completely different.

When Wang Chuanxing returned, there were already two tables of information piled up in front of Liu Jinghui and Jiang Yuan.

As usual, Liu Jinghui looked through them one by one.

This is how reasoning works. You need sufficient information to make a good inference. Of course, everyone expects you to make reasonable inferences with limited information, but this difficulty is something that Liu Jinghui would not easily challenge.

Because reasoning still has a certain degree of probability, failure for any reason is a failure, and the consequences are so serious, so cases with complete information will take up more of Liu Jinghui's time.

"Let's start by investigating based on interpersonal relationships." Jiang Yuan took a quick look at the information, gave an investigation direction, and looked at Tao Lu.

Tao Lu nodded: "Okay."

There is nothing much to say about this. In the era without mobile phones and surveillance, visits and interpersonal relationships were one of the main investigative directions of criminal police.

If it is a current case, this type of case should also investigate the flow of funds to see if the suspect has any large amount of funds flowing. If you go further, you can also find special information to understand the suspect's situation.

There are no such things for unsolved cases. Inquiring into interpersonal relationships can also help understand the identity and background of the suspect, which is very suitable as an initial investigation.

Several cars of detectives were sent out in the pitch-black night. They had to drive all night and try to find the relevant persons the next morning to save as much time as possible.

For the rest, we still mainly rely on online surveys.

After sending out all the orders, Tao Lu looked at the dark sky outside and said to Director You with a smile, "It's almost time for today. Do you want to take a rest?"

"Just find an office and a camp bed for me." Director You said.

Tao Lu opened his mouth and thought, there is no time to find a camp bed and make it, you are already home.

However, thinking about the case, Tao Lu stood at attention and said, "Yes."
