Chapter 1685 The eighth person
No matter how clean a crime scene is, there will definitely be evidence of the crime left behind.
Because when criminals take away evidence of their crimes, they will also leave something behind!
The father of modern law and politics, "Edmond Rocca's Law"!
Of course Inspector Yan doesn't know anything about "Roca's Law".
But he has his own way of solving crimes!
"At that time, almost everything in the house was burned down." Detective Yan said slowly: "It is difficult to find valuable evidence, but the arsonist ignored one thing.
I found it at the crime scene. They were eating hot pot around a big table. After the fire, I found many bowls, basins, porcelain bowls, and porcelain basins at the scene! Some of them were broken.
I collected all the porcelain bowls I could find on site, and after piecing them together, I made a total of eight sets of porcelain bowls and basins! Don’t you find it interesting?
Ah, maybe you will say, some people use two bowls? It is possible, but why use two basins? Of course, it can also be said that some people like to use two bowls and two basins!"
"A complete set of physical evidence must point to a complete target!" Meng Shaoyuan said: "Inspector Yan, your judgment is correct, there must be another person at the scene!"
Detective Yan nodded slightly: "The eighth person ignored this, which left us a clue. There were only seven corpses at the scene, so the missing eighth person is most likely the murderer!"
Meng Shaoyuan immediately asked: "Detective Yan, you must have found someone to investigate, right?"
"That's right." Inspector Yan smiled slightly: "I made inquiries nearby and found that there were very few people who could provide valuable information, but someone saw Han Renchun getting out of the car with another man."
"What kind of man?"
"I don't know. It could be someone from the company, or it could be the eighth person. He's wearing a suit, a peaked cap, glasses, he's not tall, and the suit doesn't seem to fit well. That's all I can find out.
"
Could this person be the eighth person?
If so, who is this person?
He Chuan Nie?
Or someone else?
Where is Han Renchun?
Is he really dead, or is he still living well in this world as Meng Shaoyuan judged, waiting until the situation calms down, and then flying away with eight million silver dollars?
Everything is possible.
"One more question." Meng Shaoyuan asked: "You announced to the public that the fire was a tragedy caused by improper operation while eating hot pot. Why? You clearly know that this is a murder!"
"The concession is so big, and we don't have many clues. It would be difficult to find the murderer if he hid in the crowd. So, I decided to find another way."
Detective Yan said calmly: "I announced that the fire case has been solved. In order to paralyze the murderer, I specifically asked the landlord here not to clean or decorate.
I have experienced many cases, and the murderer often returns to the scene of the crime to see if he has left any evidence."
Having said this, Detective Yan gave a wry smile: "But I found that I underestimated the murderer this time. I sent people to ambush around, but the murderer never appeared at all.
Just now, my people called me and said that someone had entered the fire scene, so I rushed over immediately, but you caught me."
"You know what I do," Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "As soon as I came, I discovered the people you left to monitor. Don't blame your people for not hiding well enough, but we have experienced too many such things.
Something happened.
I felt that those who could do this must be quite talented and courageous, so I asked my people to control your people, and then threatened them to trick you out."
Inspector Yan looked at the gold in his hand: "I can totally accept such a deception!"
Meng Shaoyuan suddenly asked: "Detective Yan, how much is your monthly salary?"
Um?
Before Detective Yan could answer, Meng Shaoyuan had already finished speaking for him: "It won't be much. You are a Chinese Detective. You only earn 500 yuan a month to survive. Plus your extra money, it's not much. Detective Yan
Chief, what’s your name?”
Inspector Yan hesitated and said nothing for a long time.
Meng Shaoyuan was curious: "Don't you even want to say your name?"
"It's not that I refuse to say it, but it's embarrassing to say it." Inspector Yan said awkwardly, "My name is Yan Xiaohua."
"What? Yan Xiaohua?"
"Yes, Yan Xiaohua."
Inspector Yan Xiaohua said with a bitter smile: "I had four older brothers and sisters before me, but they all died. The rules in our place are that a boy should be named after a girl so that he can make a living, just like other places, a boy should be named after a cat or a dog so that he can make a living.
It’s the same thing!”
This name.
Meng Shaoyuan wanted to laugh, but he held it back: "Okay, Yan Xiaohua, forget it, I'll just call you Inspector Yan. I'll give you fifteen hundred yuan a month! And you can still get extra money as well.
Get it!"
Three times that!
Inspector Yan said calmly: "Boss Meng, do you want me to join the military commander to serve you? To be honest, I really admire the military commander. You guys are really fighting the Japanese.
I also want to serve the country, but I have seniors and juniors, so I don’t have the courage. If the Japanese find out that I joined the military, I might die on the street one day."
"Help me do things, but I don't need you to join the military!" Meng Shaoyuan said immediately: "I don't need you to provide me with any information, I just need to cooperate together."
Not providing information but working together?
Inspector Yan was a little confused.
"For example, we can work together on this case." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "Let me tell you the truth, this involves some matters of the National Government, and I urgently need to solve the case. After solving the case, all the credit will be yours. I only need
Get what I want."
After thinking about it for a long time, Inspector Yan said: "Boss Meng, it is really dangerous to cooperate with you. If you are not careful, you will be in trouble. However, I also know how powerful your military commander is. If I don't satisfy you, I will
Even a small life cannot be guaranteed.
OK, let’s solve this case together first, and let’s talk about the future later.”
"What I want is your words." Meng Shaoyuan said, "You can use the resources I have here at will. Although you are an expert in solving crimes, in Shanghai, we have many advantages of our own.
The top priority now is to find the missing eighth person. And I suspect that Han Renchun is not dead."
"What? He's not dead?" Inspector Yan was startled: "His things were found at the scene, and through the testimony of his daughter, the deceased was Han Renchun himself."
"The cicada sheds its shell and replaces the old tree." Meng Shaoyuan said coldly: "In short, I have a lot of reasons to believe that Han Renchun faked his death there. Of course, for what purpose, I can't tell you yet."
Chapter completed!
