Chapter 9: Re-exploring the Crime Scene

"Did you see it clearly?" Gu Changzheng asked.

"Too fast, just saw a black shadow flash, disappeared from the balcony."

"You didn't chase over to see?" Gu Changzheng stared at Shu Jiaqing's eyes, looking at him coldly.

Shu Jiaqing's eyes shifted to other places instantly. He hesitated for a few seconds and said, "No, I didn't dare. I was afraid the other party would see my appearance clearly. Besides, that woman was meeting a man at home. That man must not be an ordinary person. If I saw him, wouldn't that be looking for trouble for myself?"

"I saw there seemed to be other people in the house, and my mind only thought about leaving here quickly, not to cause trouble for myself, so, so I didn't think about anything else."

"Bang!" Gu Changzheng slapped the table, pointing his finger at him, unable to speak for a while! At that time, Ge Ge Manli should have just lost consciousness in the water. If someone discovered her at this time, there was still a possibility of being saved.

Luo Fei understood Gu Changzheng's mood at this time. A young life that might not have passed away became impossible because of this stupid and lecherous man in front of him!

He wanted Gu Changzheng's state to return to the case as soon as possible, and continued to ask Shu Jiaqing, "After you fled the scene, how did you leave the Fenglin Garden complex? Tell me in detail!"

Shu Jiaqing tried hard to recall for a while and opened his mouth, "I found there were other people, so I hurriedly went out from the door."

"Just went out like this?" Gu Changzheng asked suddenly.

"Oh, brought a small bag, I have already handed this over."

"Didn't take anything else?"

"No. I was so panicked at that time, just took a bag, didn't dare to take anything else."

"What about that brassiere?"

"Didn't take it." Shu Jiaqing replied without hesitation.

Gu Changzheng looked at him strangely, "Aren't you afraid that the things left on the brassiere will expose you?"

Shu Jiaqing looked up at the two of them, "I thought I just stole a bag, and it wasn't a big deal. Besides, she and that person were doing that shameless thing at home, would she dare to report to the police?"

Luo Fei shouted sharply, "I'm afraid it's more than that!"

Shu Jiaqing shivered all over, and he laughed foolishly, "Hehe, I think if that woman wore the brassiere with my stuff on it, that would... hehehehe!"

Pervert! Gu Changzheng and Luo Fei couldn't help cursing in their hearts!

"Where did you go after leaving Fenglin Garden, and what did you do?" Gu Changzheng said.

"After I left the complex, I went to a place a bit past the intersection of Qingjiang Road and Mingjing Lane, rode the scooter and left."

"Then I turned around the street a few times and returned to the rental house in Fangying, bought some wine and food to eat. Who knew, I heard the broadcast this afternoon, and it even said I killed the person! This is wronging me! So, I thought about confessing actively. I can't carry this pot!"

After listening to Shu Jiaqing's narration, Gu Changzheng understood that now the evidence could only prove that Shu Jiaqing appeared at the scene during the time Ge Ge Manli died, but there was no direct evidence to prove that he killed the person! And if this person didn't lie, then the killer really was someone else,

But how much of his words were credible? Was he too stupid, or too smart? As a former labor-educated person, he was fully aware of the work process and punishment basis of law enforcement agencies, had absolute confidence in his own case to escape legal sanctions, and had to be a stupid little thief who made a series of brainless operations just to avoid trouble?

For a time, Gu Changzheng couldn't make up his mind! This person made him a bit unable to understand. Was he a deep pool with no bottom or a muddy shallow nest?

With questions, Gu Changzheng and Luo Fei came to the crime scene again, Fenglin Garden, Building 3, Unit 2, Room 301.

Shu Jiaqing was filmed entering the complex at 3:40 PM. Building 3 was located 200 meters west of the complex gate. In front of the building was the landscape area of the complex, which was a relatively large green area, with several intersecting small roads built inside. The houses in the complex were all facing north and south. The living room and master bedroom balcony were facing the landscape area, which was the direction of the complex gate. The unit door was on the north side, so if you wanted to enter the house after entering the complex from the gate, you had to pass the building and go around to the north side to enter.

Building 3 had two units in total. Ge Ge Manli's Room 301, according to the rule of left one and right two, was the east unit. The bathroom was sandwiched between two bedrooms on the east side. Because it was an edge unit, this master bedroom was designed with a small balcony suspended outside. The balcony and the bedroom were separated by a glass sliding door. It could be seen that Ge Ge Manli and her husband valued quality of life and liked nature and relaxation. This bedroom balcony was not enclosed like other people's, but used an open one. Several valuable flowers and plants, a rattan chair, and a small table were placed on the balcony.

According to Shu Jiaqing's confession, he arrived at 301, used about 1 minute to pick the lock, plus the 4 minutes he walked from the complex gate to the 200-meter Building 3 and climbed to the third floor, it should have taken at least 4 minutes. After entering the house and finding the underwear Ge Ge Manli took off outside the bathroom, he had evil thoughts until he heard the body wash bottle being knocked to the ground, another 5 or 6 minutes passed. When he heard the movement and wanted to flee, he found the bedroom door next to the bathroom suddenly opened by itself...

Gu Changzheng simulated the behavior he had done according to his confession, and then looked at the footprints on the balcony. Could it be that when Shu Jiaqing entered Ge Ge Manli's house, the killer had already completed the murder of Ge Ge Manli? And because of the obstruction of the bathroom door, Shu Jiaqing and the killer didn't know each other's existence. Why was it said that the killing act was completed before Shu Jiaqing entered the room? The water stains splashed around the bathtub and the bruise on Ge Ge Manli's left elbow showed that Ge Ge Manli had struggled violently when she was suddenly attacked by the killer.

But judging from Shu Jiaqing's confession, after he entered the room, the room was quiet, and when he made a slight movement that startled the killer inside, the killer quickly opened the bathroom window and wanted to flee. During this period, he accidentally knocked over the body wash bottle on the small table! And climbed over the balcony to escape!

Gu Changzheng unfolded his reasoning one by one. At this time, Luo Fei said, "Captain Gu, how did the bedroom door suddenly open by itself? Also, assuming the killer climbed over the window to the bedroom balcony in a hurry, I have two doubts."

Gu Changzheng leaned out from the balcony and looked down, "If I were the killer, since I had already prepared rubber gloves, to avoid leaving footprints, I would naturally prepare shoe covers. Since the deceased's door could be picked by Shu Jiaqing, why couldn't it be picked by me? Or without so much trouble, I found or I knew she had a spare key, then it would be very convenient for me to enter and leave her house. Why take the risk of being injured, falling to death, and being discovered on the spot to jump out of the window to escape?

So, when I found other people in the living room, I quickly climbed over the window and came to the bedroom through the balcony outside the bedroom, came here," he pointed to the wardrobe in the bedroom, hiding inside temporarily. Because the wardrobe door was an outward-opening type, in an emergency, I used too much force, and the wardrobe door drove the indoor air flow, actually opening the slightly ajar bedroom door. I hurriedly flashed in and hid."
