Chapter 377 Revenge and Murder (2,000 Monthly Tickets Plus 2/4 Update, Issued Together

Chapter 377 Revenge and Murder (2,000 monthly tickets plus 24 updates, sent together, please vote!)

When analyzing Alyssa's skeleton in the autopsy room, Chen Yan once carefully observed the scar on the inside of the third rib.

At that time, Chen Yan judged the depth and direction of the scratches and analyzed the murderer's method of slashing and the approximate height of the murderer.

Holding a knife in his backhand, he is about 1.4 meters tall.

And the knife used is very special, a long, narrow knife like a ham slicing knife.

"Captain Chen, Officer Zhang, this is our two-star chef at Liancheng Midonglin Restaurant, Mr. Liang Ping."

Wilson took the initiative to introduce Liang Ping to Chen Yan and Zhang Chaoyang.

Perhaps they noticed the change in the eyes of Chen Yan and the two of them.

"You may think that Mr. Liang Ping is shorter in height, but Mr. Liang Ping's cooking skills are very high."

The Liang Ping in front of him was not a dwarf, but he seemed to be less than one and a half meters tall.

This Liang Ping has thick eyebrows and big eyes. He is very stocky, especially his hands, which are very big and thick and look very powerful.

Although Wilson took the initiative to introduce Liang Ping to Chen Yan and Zhang Chaoyang, the two-star chef at Midonglin Restaurant obviously had no intention of chatting with Chen Yan and Zhang Chaoyang.

He nodded and walked towards the locker room without getting out of his body.

Chen Yan didn't care and didn't stop Liang Ping from changing into his chef uniform.

This locker room is a confined space, and Chen Yan is not worried about Liang Ping escaping.

Ten minutes later, Liang Ping, who had changed into chef clothes, walked out of the dressing room.

Liang Ping, who had changed into chef uniform, looked more stocky, and his height did not look so short after putting on the chef hat.

Of course, what caught the eyes of Chen Yan and Zhang Chaoyang the most was the row of black buttons with gold rims on chef Liang Ping's uniform.

Buttons with polished back molars of swallow-tailed kangaroos and gold-plated edges!

Zhang Chaoyang couldn't help but have a hint of excitement on his face.

The investigation of this case was really not easy.

After all, the deceased had been dead for four years.

Only a skeleton and a button remained.

Zhang Chaoyang felt confused from the moment he came into contact with this case.

For example, Zhang Chaoyang personally investigated Alyssa's interpersonal relationships.

But after all, four years have passed, and many people have basically no memory of what happened back then.

There is also the black gold-edged button in the mouth of Alyssa's skeleton.

The group of people led by Liu Qingshan basically stared in front of the computer every day to compare photos of buttons.

But in the past few days, I have found nothing.

If it weren't for today's chance, Chen Yan would have wanted to visit this Midonglin restaurant.

Wilson took the two people to the honor room of the restaurant.

Zhang Chaoyang didn't know if they would have a chance to find this button.

Maybe there is, but maybe not.

"Take it away."

"yes!"

"Liang Ping, you are suspected of a murder case four years ago. Come with us."

Liang Ping, who had just walked out of the dressing room, was about to turn around and walk to the kitchen.

After hearing Zhang Chaoyang's words, his steps staggered a little, and the expression on his face was full of disbelief.

Wilson on the side was slightly startled.

"Murder?"

"Officer Zhang, are you mistaken? How could Liang Ping be related to the murder?"

"He is our best chef!"

"In just one year, he will become the seventh three-star chef of the entire Midonlin Group in China."

"Captain Chen, is there any misunderstanding here?"

Misunderstand?

"Mr. Wilson, the beautiful Chinese girl you just mentioned, Alyssa, did not return to the beautiful country four years ago."

"Didn't go back to China? You mean..."

"Yes, Alyssa was killed on the day she resigned!"

"Liang Ping is suspected of committing a major crime!"

"Liang Ping...killed someone?"

Wilson's face showed nothing but shock and disbelief.

"Wilson, it's okay."

Liang Ping turned around and looked at Wilson, with a solid smile on his face: "Believe me, I didn't kill anyone."

"I will come back after cooperating with the police investigation."

"But I guess I'll have to take today off."

…

Detective Squad 1, Interrogation Room No. 1.

Chen Yan was interrogating Liang Ping personally.

"Liang Ping, my name is Chen Yan. Regarding Alyssa's death, I hope you can explain yourself and strive for leniency."

"Officer Chen," Liang Ping, who was sitting in the interrogation room, said with a very calm expression, "I don't quite understand what you are talking about."

"I do know a girl named Alyssa who was a trainee chef at our restaurant and we worked together four years ago."

"I even pursued Alyssa."

"Everyone knows this, but not only me, many single chefs in the back kitchen have pursued Alyssa."

"But Alyssa resigned and returned to China four years ago, and I have never seen her again."

Liang Ping's calmness was somewhat beyond Chen Yan's expectations.

"You seem convinced that we have no evidence?"

Liang Ping shook his head: "Officer Chen, I am not sure whether you have evidence, but I did not kill anyone. We have not been in contact since Alyssa returned to China."

As expected, I couldn’t shed tears until I saw the coffin.

Chen Yan pushed a photo in his hand to Liang Ping.

"Liang Ping, you should be very familiar with the button in the photo."

Picking up the photo, Liang Ping looked at it carefully and nodded: "Of course I'm familiar with it."

"This is the button on my chef uniform, with black background and gold rim. It was specially customized for me by the Midonglin Restaurant headquarters when I was promoted to a two-star chef."

“The buttons are hand-polished using the back molars of swallow-tailed kangaroos, and according to the tradition of Midonlin Restaurant, no one but me can use buttons made of this material.”

"Then can you explain why we found this button in the mouth of Alyssa's skeleton?"

"This... you should ask Alice, not me."

Liang Ping's expression changed slightly, but not much.

Shouldn't I ask you?

"Liang Ping, a button that only you can own appears in the victim's mouth. You say we shouldn't ask you?"

"Do you know that just because of your name, we can convict you?"

No matter what the case is, if clues to the suspect are found during the investigation, the suspect needs to prove his innocence when being questioned.

For example, a suspect's fingerprints are found at a crime scene.

This fingerprint can certainly be used as evidence against the suspect.

However, if the suspect can produce a solid alibi, such as surveillance video.

Proving that he could not have been at the scene during the incident.

Then, this fingerprint cannot be used as evidence to prove that the suspect committed murder.

The same goes for Liang Ping's button.

Buttons are unique to him.

If he could not reasonably explain why the button appeared in the mouth of Elisa's skeleton.

Then this button can directly prove that Liang Ping must have been at the scene when Alyssa was killed.

At this time, Liang Ping's expression was already a little flustered.

After a moment, Liang Ping's eyes lit up.

"Oh! I remembered that when I was pursuing Alyssa, I once gave her a button as a souvenir."

"Officer Chen, one thing you may not know is that every chef with a rank in Midonglin Restaurant has unique buttons on his chef uniform."

"This button, in a certain sense, represents my status as a two-star chef."

The more Liang Ping spoke, the calmer his expression became.

The trace of panic on his face just now has long since disappeared.

"Officer Chen, I am a two-star chef at Midonglin Restaurant."

"And in another year, I can apply to be rated as a three-star chef."

"I have a great future, how could I kill someone?"

"What's more, Alyssa didn't reject my pursuit of her back then."

"If she hadn't returned to China that year, maybe we would have been together."

"How could I possibly kill her?"

**********

Give the button to Alyssa?

Can this reason be justified?

sure.

As a two-star chef at Midonglin Restaurant, Liang Ping gave Alyssa his unique button in the process of pursuing Alyssa.

Of course there is nothing wrong with that.

But why did Alyssa put the button Liang Ping gave her into her mouth when she was killed?

Was it to express his love for Liang Ping before he died?

Give me a break.

Liang Ping is not the only fish in Alisa's fish pond.

Moreover, Alyssa hurriedly resigned and returned to the beautiful country in order to find out her life experience.

As a result, he was killed on the night he was about to leave Liancheng.

The body was then thrown to the cemetery in Taoyuan Village, Xishan.

Chen Yan's trial was suspended.

Liang Ping's reason for giving the button to Alyssa makes sense logically.

In fact, Liang Ping had many reasons to deny the connection between the button removal and himself.

For example, the button was lost, or as he said, he gave it to Alyssa.

Of course, Liang Ping could find reasons to deny the connection between the buttons and himself, but this did not mean that he was free from suspicion.

Even from Liang Ping's height and professional characteristics, Chen Yan could basically conclude that Liang Ping was the murderer.

The key now is evidence.

Also, why did Liang Ping kill Alyssa?

Just because she didn't agree to be Liang Ping's girlfriend?

This doesn't make sense.

Alyssa returned to China for her own life experience.

It’s not that I won’t come back in the future.

Liang Ping will naturally have the opportunity to pursue Alyssa in the future.

Therefore, Liang Ping probably killed Alyssa for other reasons.

But what is the reason?

"Team Chen, Wang Gang's investigation has ended and he just came back."

Outside the interrogation room, Zhang Chaoyang reported the latest situation to Chen Yan.

"Wang Gang is back?"

Chen Yan's eyes lit up.

Wang Gang was responsible for investigating the background relationship of the reporter Zhao Kuo's family.

After Alyssa was killed, her body was hidden in Zhao Kuo's father's grave.

There is a big problem here.

That was the murderer. Why did he have to hide Alyssa's body in Zhao Kuo's father's grave?

Chen Yan has carefully considered and analyzed this point.

It is definitely not a coincidence that the murderer did this, or it was just to hide the body.

In the conference room.

Wang Gang is reporting.

"Zhao Kuo, 48 years old, is from Taoyuan Village, Xishan, Liancheng. He left Liancheng 20 years ago and went to work in the capital."

"Currently, I have opened a furniture company with assets of hundreds of millions."

Zhao Kuo's family history is a classic TV series about a rural boy starting from scratch.

Twenty years ago, Zhao Kuo went to the capital to work alone.

When he first arrived in the capital, Zhao Kuo worked as a waiter and security guard in a hotel.

"Later, I went to work in a furniture city, learned the craft, and opened a small furniture workshop of my own, which has grown step by step to what it is today."

"Zhao Kuo has any relatives in Taoyuan Village...?"

Wang Gang nodded: "Yes, his parents have always been in Taoyuan Village. It was not until his father passed away ten years ago that he brought his mother to live in the capital."

"In addition, Zhao Kuo has many relatives in Taoyuan Village."

It turns out that the Zhao family is a wealthy family in Taoyuan Village.

He was once a landlord, and the entire Taoyuan Village belonged to the Zhao family.

"Does Zhao Kuo or Zhao Kuo's father have any enemies in Taoyuan Village?"

"There are no enemies, but five years ago, a person died in Taoyuan Village, and he was related to Zhao Kuo's family."

According to Wang Gang's investigation, Zhao Kuo's furniture factory expanded its scale five years ago and hired many workers in Taoyuan Village.

One of the female workers, Liang Xiaomeng, died after accidentally falling from a building.

"Liang Xiaomeng?"

Your surname is Liang?

Chen Yan was slightly startled: "Does he have a younger brother or older brother named Liang Ping?"

Wang just came back from investigating outside, so naturally he didn't know about Liang Ping.

Hearing Chen Yan talk about this person, he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "She does have a brother named Liang Ping."

"I work in Liancheng, I think I'm a chef."

really!

No wonder!

I see!

Liang Ping and Zhao Kuo's family are indeed related.

Liang Ping's murder should be to take revenge on the Zhao family.

His sister died in Zhao Kuo's furniture factory. Although she died accidentally, Liang Ping didn't think so.

wrong!

If Liang Ping wanted to take revenge on the Zhao family, then why did he kill Alyssa?

What is the relationship between Alyssa and the Zhao family?

etc!

Why was Alyssa anxious to resign and return to the beautiful country?

Isn't it just for her life experience?

You know, Alyssa is not Caucasian, but Chinese!

An orphan adopted by a couple from a beautiful country!

"Collect Zhao Kuo's DNA information immediately and compare it with Alyssa's DNA information!"

…

Four hours later, Zhang Chaoyang handed over the comparison results to Chen Yan.

Identification conclusion: Supports that Zhao Kuo is Alyssa’s biological father.

really!

Alyssa turned out to be Zhao Kuo’s daughter!

trial room.

Zhao Kuo is being questioned.

"I hadn't gone to the capital at that time, and the child was lost when he was two and a half years old."

"I've been looking for it all these years, but I haven't found it."

It turned out that Zhao Kuo had a daughter before going to the capital.

When he was two and a half years old, he got lost in Taoyuan Village.

Now it seems that the little girl who was lost back then was Alyssa who was killed four years ago.

"Search Liang Ping's residence immediately!"

"yes!"

Half an hour later, Chen Yan came to Liang Ping's apartment on Xihu Road in person.

This was rented by Midonglin Restaurant for Liang Ping.

As soon as he entered the door, Chen Yan was attracted by a set of knives placed in the living room.

This is a complete set of western food knives.

Placed on a custom-made knife holder. .

There are thirty-six knives in total.

From the smallest Western knives to the wide boning knives, every knife is polished and shiny like new.

Not only that, each knife is engraved with a row of English words.

Chen Yan, who has mastered English skills, can naturally recognize the words above.

"World Chef Competition Bronze Medal"

Obviously, this is the prize that Liang Ping won the bronze medal in the chef competition five years ago.

The chef won the award and was awarded a set of Western knives, which was fine.

At the top of the knife rest is a slender ham slicing knife.

It is bladed on one side and the blade is very narrow, less than two fingers wide.

The length is very long. It was estimated by visual inspection that it was about sixty centimeters long.

The visual gene lock is on!

This ham slicing knife was displayed in Chen Yan's mind like a three-dimensional object.

Every detail was magnified in Chen Yan's mind.

Especially the connection between the blade and the handle.

However, Chen Yan found no residue.

Obviously, Liang Ping must cherish these knives very much.

Wipe and clean frequently.

However, when the tip of the knife was shown in front of Chen Yan, the corners of Chen Yan's mouth turned up slightly.

"Finally found!"

"Take this knife back and compare it with the scratches on Alyssa's ribs!"

No matter how sharp the knife is, once it comes into contact with bone, it will definitely leave traces of wear.

The difference is that some of the wear is severe and some is slight.

The ham slicer knife is thin and sharp, suitable for slicing thin meat.

But once it comes into contact with bone, the wear and tear will be more obvious.

Just now, Chen Yan discovered that the ham slicing knife had a slightly curled edge between the blades.

Liang Ping placed the prize he won in the World Chef Competition in such a conspicuous place in the living room.

We also made a specially customized knife rest, placed all 36 knives on the knife rest, and wiped and cleaned it frequently.

It can be seen that Liang Ping cares for these knives.

However, the blade on the tip of this ham slicing knife is somewhat curved.

Could it be that Liang Ping accidentally touched the knife somewhere else, causing the blade to curl?

This possibility is too small.

Moreover, the width and length of the handle were just in line with Chen Yan's inference of the murder weapon that killed Alyssa.

The narrow blade ensures that the knife penetrates the heart without damaging the ribs behind it.

The blade is long so that it can reach the inside of the ribs in front of the heart after penetrating the heart.

Of course, to determine whether the knife was a murder weapon, we had to compare the tip of the knife with the marks on Alyssa's scratched ribs.

Any knife is actually unique.

Just like there are no two identical leaves in the world, there are no two identical knives in the world.

Under the microscope, the details of each knife are special.

Since then, the scratches left by each knife are also special.

Especially the scratches left on the bones. After magnification, analysis and comparison, and comparing the consistency between the tip of the slicing knife and the scratches on Alyssa's ribs, we can determine whether the knife is a murder weapon.

The appraisal will be over soon.

An hour later, Chen Yan got the appraisal report!
