Chapter 1205

The autopsy was completed. Jiang Yuan washed himself clean and went through traffic jams all the way back to the office building of the Criminal Police Detachment of the Zhengguang Bureau. It had already been three hours.

The criminal police of the Zhengguang Bureau and a group of people from Jiang Yuan's cold case special task force sat in the conference room and had already pondered the case.

Hearing that Jiang Yuan had come, Tao Lu also calculated the time and came to the conference room, sitting down to listen to the case together.

Tao Lu asked first: "What is the attitude of Avi Aviation? Have the victim's family contacted you?"

No matter which dynasty, cases with or without victims are different.

Not to mention those cases that were successfully completed, look at those wrongful cases that can be overturned. Behind them, either the victim's family bit and didn't let go, or the police or others who participated in the case didn't let go, and finally they could reverse the case.

For the same foreigner's case, the pressure of handling the case of Burmese people and Italian people is obviously different.

The one in charge of the case was the Fourth Detachment. Xiao Si stood up immediately, saluted, and said: "The lawyer of Avi Aviation contacted us to ask about the situation. After we replied, there was no news. The victim's family didn't contact us."

"Like this..." Tao Lu couldn't help but feel a bit surprised.

Cui Cui Qishan knew what Tao Lu wanted to ask, coughed twice, and said: "Avi Aviation, I guess they are also a bit worried."

Tao Lu looked over.

Cui Cui Qishan hurriedly added: "The crime scene, which is the apartment where the victim lived, is an apartment provided by Avi Aviation for its own employees. Judging from the surveillance video, the victim returned to the apartment around 9 o'clock that night and never went out again. There is no surveillance inside the apartment, but there is surveillance at the main gate and outer wall of the apartment. So, the perpetrator likely lives in the apartment."

Tao Lu couldn't help but raise his head: "How many people live in the apartment?"

"28 households, 46 people." Cui Cui Qishan answered with whole numbers and zeros: "All are employees and family members of Avi Aviation, mostly foreigners. 38 are foreigners. There are also a few children."

Tao Lu understood immediately and said: "The perpetrator is one of their own people, no wonder..."

"Something like that." Cui Cui Qishan smiled and looked at Jiang Yuan: "I took the footprints at the scene. Director Jiang, please take a look."

"Okay." Jiang Yuan didn't have anything to be pretentious about. The cooperation with the Zhengguang Bureau was originally long-term. Besides, since he was already here...

Cui Cui Qishan was familiar with Jiang Yuan's habits and had been prepared for a long time. With a big wave of his hand, his subordinates hurriedly released the footprint photos taken at the scene.

In the case of indoor floor tiles, the identification of footprints is relatively difficult. If there is more dust in the room or the shoe soles are dirtier, it's fine. If not, many traditional footprint extraction methods aren't that easy to use.

Footprint extraction is essentially the same as fingerprint extraction. The simplest plan is to sprinkle powder and extract with tape. But most human walking wears shoes, resulting in footprints having little sweat or body fluid components to help, making the difficulty of leaving traces increase instead.

Fortunately, the Zhengguang Bureau can also afford "laser footprint detectors". Although it's difficult to extract, they still extracted many footprints, most of which were barefoot.

"Roughly speaking, more than 5 people appeared in this room." Jiang Yuan looked at more than a hundred footprint photos and added: "One person wearing shoes, Martina herself, and three or more other males."

"Fortunately, no party was held." Cui Cui Qishan wasn't surprised and added: "Martina flew over from Italy. I have already taken the footprints of the people in the room that day. Should I put the male ones for you to see first? There are also the footprints of people who have been in and out of the apartment in the last two days, which haven't been fully taken yet, because several of them are foreigners, and we don't have relevant data."

Without needing Jiang Yuan to command, Cui Cui Qishan moved himself.

Jiang Yuan didn't even move his butt, just nodded, and the photos in front of him changed.

Jiang Yuan reached out again, and Wei Shiyan beside him handed the tea into his hand.

Mu Mu Zhiyang and the others watched with their eyelids twitching. Some second generations look harmless, but you don't know what they are rolling in private.

The difficulty of comparing footprints is also not small, especially when the shoes are different. Often, one can only compare a rough one first, and then compare it meticulously.

Jiang Yuan let everyone continue the discussion, watched the footprints for a long time by himself, and finally wrote two names on the paper.

"The one wearing shoes is also a male, but not a resident in the apartment. The identity of the other barefoot male is also uncertain." Jiang Yuan said, handing the note with simpler parameters like height, weight, and age to Cui Cui Qishan.

Cui Cui Qishan hurriedly put it away, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "In this case, the murderer is one of these two people whose identities were found. It's not that difficult to choose one of two."

Judging by the time of death, when Martina died, there were only residents in the apartment. Since that's the case, the murderer should be one of these two residents...

As for the owners of the footprints of the two non-apartment residents, it's highly likely that they had entered Martina's apartment before. If they can directly find the murderer, they don't necessarily have to get to the bottom of their identities.

Xiao Si beside him added coldly: "If the luck is bad enough, maybe the murderer didn't leave any footprints."

Xiao Si was abandoned by the Seventh Detachment and finally accepted by the Fourth Detachment. He was one of the cold-faced, foul-mouthed, and ignorant criminal police officers. Cui Cui Qishan, this detachment leader, rose to power late, and it was difficult to get a position in Beijing. Plus, Xiao Si really had some ability, so he could only keep him in the detachment.

After staying for a long time and being scolded many times, Cui Cui Qishan didn't care anymore, only saying: "The difficulty of killing a person is not small, and it's strangulation. It's hard not to leave traces... Can the footprints around the corpse explain who the murderer is?"

Cui Cui Qishan also asked a question. What Xiao Si said was indeed possible.

Jiang Yuan shook his head: "The deceased died on the bed, and the bed sheet was also pulled under the bed. The footprints can no longer be seen... You can try to find evidence with micro-evidence, or see if there are any skin debris or the like left."

Cui Cui Qishan agreed and looked at Tao Lu, asking: "Should we bring the two people whose footprints match for questioning first?"

These are all analyses often done in case handling, and there's nothing special. If there's anything special, it's that the victim and the suspect are both foreigners.

However, this isn't too strange for the criminal police of the police bureau now, just act according to the rules.

Now there is evidence that both of them entered and exited Martina's apartment room, so calling them for questioning is a matter of course.

Tao Lu thought about it and agreed, only reminding: "Collect more relevant materials and witness testimonies. Do the two people live alone or with others?"

This involves whether there is an alibi. Before Cui Cui Qishan could look through it carefully, Xiao Si beside him said first: "Both are married men. One lives with his wife, and one has a wife and two children."

"Two married men running into a single woman's apartment room..." Tao Lu shook his head: "I'm old and can't keep up with the times. You take the wives of the two people and make statements separately, ask carefully, and don't let them commit perjury."

"Yes." Cui Cui Qishan stood up.

"Personnel involved in the case are not allowed to leave the country. When you make statements, tell them clearly. Don't think that after committing perjury, you can leave and it will be fine if you don't come back." Tao Lu reminded clearly.

Liu Liu Jinghui had finished reading the relevant materials at this time, raised his head, and said: "We also have to pay attention to the motive. These two people, the two men who left footprints in the victim's room, are both in their 30s. Their work content is basically unrelated to Martina, and both have families. What is the motive for murder?"

"Cheating and being threatened, or afraid of being caught, afraid of losing their family property and a lifetime of child support?" Cui Cui Qishan gave an answer casually.

"Strangling a person is quite difficult." Liu Liu Jinghui used the words Cui Cui Qishan had just said, turned it around, and said: "Killing so decisively, it's hard for ordinary people to do it."

Cui Cui Qishan didn't object, just smiled and said: "What you said makes sense. However, if it wasn't one of these two who killed, it would be difficult to find the murderer from the apartment building. Murder on the Orient Express, ah."

Liu Liu Jinghui smiled lightly.
