Chapter 246 Conclusive Evidence

evidence!

Zhang Baoshan is right, evidence is needed to handle cases.

Although Chen Yan completely deduced the details of Zhang Baoshan's crime, this does not mean that Zhang Baoshan can be found guilty.

Chen Yan relied on reasoning to perfect only the process of committing a crime.

However, nothing was found about the motive for the crime, the fake wooden door speculated by Chen Yan in the case, and the iron hammer that knocked Duan Zhongxin unconscious.

Especially the motive.

If Zhang Baoshan was the murderer, then why did he insist on killing Duan Zhongxin.

Because of Duan Zhongxin’s wife Sun Xiaolu?

impossible.

Zhang Baoshan and Sun Xiaolu were just a couple for one night.

In this matter, Zhang Baoshan took advantage, and Duan Zhongxin was the victim.

If it were said that Duan Zhongxin planned all this and killed Zhang Baoshan, that would make sense.

But Zhang Baoshan killed Duan Zhongxin because of Sun Xiaolu...

It doesn't make sense.

After all, judging from Sun Xiaolu's hotel room booking records, Zhang Baoshan is just one of her many men.

Zhang Baoshan would not kill Sun Xiaolu's husband just to dominate her.

Otherwise, the first person Zhang Baoshan wanted to kill was not Duan Zhongxin, but the director of the lottery station where Sun Xiaolu worked.

After leaving the interrogation room, Chen Yan went straight to the dormitory where Zhang Baoshan lived.

The search warrant had already been issued when Chen Yan was interrogating Zhang Baoshan.

In the dormitory, Zhang Baoshan lives in a single room.

The room is not big, but it is tidy.

"We've probably looked at it once, and there's nothing suspicious about it."

Zhao Bing and others took the lead and had already done some inspections in advance.

In the room, at a glance, there is a bed, a set of tables and chairs.

The dormitory building is actually a converted factory building.

The bathroom is public.

"Search all warehouses and basements under Zhang Baoshan's jurisdiction, as well as his home in the city."

If Chen Yan's reasoning is correct, then the fake wooden door must exist.

If Zhang Baoshan is the murderer, his message must be left on that wooden door.

However, it has been half a year since the incident occurred.

If Zhang Baoshan destroyed or burned the wooden door, there might really be no clues at all.

…

However, Huangtian paid off.

When Hu Xueying and others were searching an abandoned warehouse, they found the wooden door in a compartment.

It is the same size as the wooden door in the red brick house, very similar.

"Immediately identify the marks on the wooden door."

Zhang Baoshan should have been wearing gloves during the crime.

So, no fingerprints were left.

However, when he made the wooden door, he didn't leave any fingerprints?

hehe.

People should not be too conceited sometimes.

Two hours later, interrogation room.

Chen Yan sat opposite Zhang Baoshan, but at this time, Zhang Baoshan could no longer live up to his original energy.

He no longer clamored to sue Chen Yan for slandering him.

The photo on the desktop is exactly that wooden door.

On the side, there is also a trace firm report.

Zhang Baoshan's fingerprints are all on the wooden door.

"Zhang Baoshan, why do you think we can't find this wooden door?"

Abandoned warehouse compartments with lots of stuff.

Electric drills, welders, generators, etc.

Zhang Baoshan brought it all and prepared to sell it.

He thought no one knew about the compartments of the abandoned warehouse.

However, Zhang Baoshan didn't know that the existence of this compartment was told to Chen Yan and the others by the security guard who was drinking with Zhang Baoshan on the night of the 27th.

"Also, one thing I don't understand is why you still keep this wooden door?"

In half a year, Zhang Baoshan had plenty of time and opportunities if he wanted to destroy the wooden door.

Moreover, there were all valuable things in that compartment, but this wooden door was worthless.

However, Zhang Baoshan preserved it.

"Hey, you won't understand."

When Zhang Baoshan saw the photo of the wooden door, he knew he was finished.

"Isn't this secret room killing perfect that you don't realize?"

"Maybe I can use this wooden door next time!"

Still using it?

Chen Yan was slightly startled.

He really didn't expect that the reason why Zhang Baoshan left the wooden door was because he wanted to use it next time!

As for the motive for the murder, Zhang Baoshan also explained it.

He and Duan Zhongxin knew each other before.

Five years ago, Zhang Baoshan was not the security captain at that time.

At that time, Duan Zhongxin and Zhang Baoshan collaborated to steal goods from Tongda Transportation Company and resell them.

Afterwards, the two had no further contact.

"However, after I became the security captain, Duan Zhongxin often came to blackmail me."

"Sometimes it's a thousand, sometimes it's a few hundred."

"If I didn't give it to him, he threatened to report us both for stealing the goods."

"I had no choice but to keep giving him money."

"But, in early July last year, this bastard actually asked me to give him 100,000 yuan, saying that he would be cleared from now on!"

"Where can I get 100,000 yuan to give him!"

"Duan Zhongxin is just a greedy old bastard."

"I finally understand. If I don't kill him, the rest of my life will be in the hands of this green-headed bastard."

"So, if you don't do one thing, you won't stop doing the other thing."

"On the night of the 27th, I asked him out and said I would give him money, so I knocked him out."

One hundred thousand yuan?

No wonder Sun Xiaolu said that before Duan Zhongxin died, he promised to buy her a necklace and ring and go to the coconut market.

It turned out that he had made up his mind to blackmail Zhang Baoshan for 100,000 yuan.

"But," Chen Yan was still a little confused: "Why did you choose Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi, and knock them out too."

"Hehe, these two guys are unlucky."

"Anyway, they are not good people. I just met them at that time. I didn't think about anything else. I just knocked them out and let them prove the murder in the closed room!"

...

The motive for the murder, the process of the murder, and the murder tools are all there.

The brick that killed Duan Zhongxin was found long ago and was left at the scene by Zhang Baoshan.

The hammer that knocked Duan Zhongxin unconscious was thrown into a stinky ditch by Zhang Baoshan.

It was also found after he pointed it out.

And Chen Yan guessed the whole process almost exactly.

Especially the process of the murder in the closed room, which was exactly the same as Zhang Baoshan's plan.

However, there was one thing that Chen Yan guessed wrong, or rather, the Yinglu City Detective Team didn't notice it.

The security guard who drank with Zhang Baoshan was actually put a little drug in his wine that night by Zhang Baoshan.

He was not completely drunk.

"I was afraid that he would wake up early, and my whole operation would be in vain!"

But even so, the security guard woke up because he had to pee.

Fortunately, the security guard did not turn on the light at that time, but went to the toilet in the dark.

And he did not check Zhang Baoshan's bed carefully.

In fact, this is normal.

Who would pull open someone's quilt in the middle of the night for no reason?

It is precisely because of this that there was a thing that proved that Zhang Baoshan did not have time to commit the crime.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully solving the murder case in the closed room, and reward parkour skill expertise. 】

Boom!

A stream of light flashed in Chen Yan's mind.

The skills of parkour were engraved in Chen Yan's memory one by one.

Similar to rock climbing, the sport of parkour not only has relatively high requirements for the physical strength of the participants, but also has strong skills.

Especially when crossing obstacles, mastering certain skills can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Of course, for Chen Yan, who is proficient in fighting skills, these skills are just simplified applications of some fighting skills.

However, the target of the skill changed from a living person to a dead object.

In just a moment, the skill was imprinted.

It took Chen Yan three days from arriving in Yinglu City to investigating the case.

However, this case is very different from previous cases.

The relationship between the characters is not complicated, and there is not much work to investigate and collect evidence.

The key lies in how to reason about the murder in the closed room.

This is the key.

Zhang Baoshan did not leave any clues at the scene of the crime, and there was no video surveillance around.

It can be said that if the secret of how the other party completed the murder in the closed room cannot be guessed, then Zhang Baoshan cannot be locked as the murderer.

Once this secret is guessed, Zhang Baoshan, as the reporter, will not be able to escape.

Because only by reporting the case at a specific time can the closed room murder case be perfect.

Only then can Yu Huihui, Tang Muqi and the detective Li Tongyun who took over the case help Zhang Baoshan direct this closed room murder case.

It will not work sooner or later.

Of course, in this process, Chen Yan's reasoning also had serious deviations.

For example, at the beginning, there was uncertainty about the murder in a closed room.

When he first came into contact with the case, Chen Yan thought that the murder in a closed room was simply staged.

Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi joined forces, and someone outside helped to wrap the wooden door with wire.

The murder in a closed room can also be established.

However, in the background investigation, Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi had no motive to jointly commit the crime.

The fact that the deceased Duan Zhongxin drank too much in the Hao Zai Lai Restaurant and molested Yu Huihui was not enough to make Yu Huihui kill.

Not to mention that he joined forces with Tang Muqi...

Therefore, the main reason why Chen Yan gave up his initial idea was that the background investigation did not support his judgment.
