Chapter 154 Clue Two

Wu Peng returned to the office and sat alone at the table to sort out the clues of the case.

If the police find effective evidence that someone boarded the boat in the middle of the night, then Jia Wenjun’s criminal suspicions will be reduced. Although the suspicion cannot be cleared, at least this extra line back then will make her situation better now.

He has been following this case. Seeing that the dead end has slowly begun to show signs of life, of course Jia Wenjun's plan played a big role in it. He admires this woman's calmness and calmness. The more he contacts and understands her , the more he felt that it was impossible for her to push Zhao Di into the sea because of emotional problems.

Who is it that insists on her death?

Wu Peng rubbed his hands on his face, and the clues and characters related to this incident in his mind were constantly changing. Jia Wenjun said from the beginning that the video of her pushing Zhao Di into the sea was fake, and the woman in it was not her.

In Wu Peng's view, the ship approached the Shell in the middle of the night, and the time was so close to Zhao Di being pushed into the sea. This shows that the probability of Zhao Di's death is not as simple as shown in the video evidence. The fake Jia Wenjun The woman most likely came from that ship. As long as Zhang Lin finds that ship and follows the vines to find those people, Jia Wenjun will hopefully be cleared of his charges.

"What are you thinking about so preoccupied?" Qingzi came over at some point and put a cup of coffee in front of Wu Peng.

"Thank you." Wu Peng took it with a smile, he was just in need of something refreshing.

"I'm in a good mood. Is there any progress with that Jia Wenjun?" Qingzi asked.

"There is indeed some progress. There are new witnesses and clues. Before, we all focused on the owner of the Shell. We didn't expect another ship to approach the Shell."

Qingzi was taken aback: "Another ship?"

Wu Peng took a sip of coffee: "I was also surprised when I first heard it."

"Have you found the ship now?"

"I don't know how the police are looking for it now, it should be soon." Wu Peng's face was faintly excited: "Don't talk about it, I have to help find it too."

"Where did you find it?" Qingzi asked.

"I'm alone, of course I can't go to various seaside spots like the police, but I go to the angler forums on the Internet to have a look."

Seeing him inadvertently leaving get off work and obsessed with work, Qingzi shook his head speechlessly and walked straight away.

At this time, Zhang Lin was walking around the beach. He was wearing casual clothes. Whenever he saw a boat of a suitable size, he would take pictures, especially to see if there were any scratches or peeling paint on the bow and the edges of the hull.

He looked here and there, and thought he was a tourist visiting the seaside city.

The phone rang, Zhang Lin picked it up, and Wu Peng's idle voice came from inside: "Me."

"Speak quickly if you have something to say."

"Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, right? You just arrested Brother Qian for you, and then turned your back on him?"

Thinking of Wu Peng's help in this matter, Zhang Lin's voice finally slowed down: "Are you alright?"

Wu Peng immediately changed his tone and lowered his voice: "There is something wrong, how is the investigation on the boat?"

Zhang Lin frowned: "Don't inquire about what you shouldn't."

"Why shouldn't you inquire? If it weren't for me, Mr. Lin wouldn't have provided you with this clue. Let me tell you, don't be on guard against me like a wolf. Maybe you tell me more, and I'll tell you more." Can help you a lot.”

Zhang Lin hesitated for a few seconds, thinking that cats have cat lanes and dogs have dog lanes, so he told the fishery administration that he couldn't find the wooden boat.

"How is it possible for you to investigate this kind of boat and find it out? Most of the people who use this kind of boat have some illegal fishing income, commonly known as casting small nets. Even if you find them, they will be punished because they are not clean. Refuse to cooperate with you. You have to investigate this kind of thing secretly, or if you tell me more, I will help you to investigate."

What Wu Peng said suddenly reminded Zhang Lin and made him think of something.

"I won't tell you, I'm busy." He hung up the phone and drove to the police station.

Wu Peng was stunned, holding the busy phone and thinking: Zhang Lin's reaction, is there a new discovery?
When Zhang Lin returned to the office, he first learned about the horsepower of Anna's Shell, and through the GPS positioning data of the Maritime Safety Administration, he found the last location and time of Anna's Shell before it lost its signal.

Then, through the data analysis distance of the Maritime Safety Administration, according to the evaluation of professionals, the ship engine suitable for this small ship was investigated, and then the fuel consumption required by the ship following the shell was judged, and the fuel consumption was determined at each refueling station. Find people who bought the corresponding liter of gasoline.

Before it was dark, Zhang Lin led his men to the shipyard warehouse where the Shell was stored, and checked the hull to confirm his inference.

"Captain, why do you want to look at the stern?" Zhang Lin's team members felt a little strange watching Zhang Lin search around Anna's stern.

"Come and take a picture here." Zhang Lin pointed to a bruise on the edge of the stern of the ship.

"And here." The camera recorded some friction marks on the pull bolt at the rear of the Shell.

"This is the trace of the rope." Zhang Lin put on his gloves and looked at the rust that had been clearly wiped off on the inner wall of the pull bolt.Zhang Lin took out the tweezers and the evidence plastic bag from the bag, and used the tweezers to remove some fibers from the gap in the pull bolt.

Anna's boat has pull-bolt anchor points on the corners on both sides of the rear. It may be designed to facilitate docking and playing at sea, and it is convenient to tie things like jet skis to dock with ropes. , not to be carried away by the waves.

The design of the pull bolt on Anna's boat is relatively innovative, and the function of hiding the pull bolt can be achieved by pressing down.

Just in the gap at the edge of the pull bolt, Zhang Lin still found the rope fibers soaked in seawater.

"Take this to the laboratory to see what kind of fiber it is." Zhang Lin handed the evidence bag in his hand to the police next to him.

In Zhang Lin's preliminary view, this fiber is like a nylon rope fiber, which is very new, different from the ropes commonly used by fishermen, and the durability of this kind of rope is average, so it is not chosen by fishermen, which shows that this person is not Real fishermen, at least, do not know the nature of such ropes.

In addition, the friction traces on the pull bolt are very new. It takes a certain amount of friction to smooth the thick nylon braided rope, and the strong friction phenomenon on the inner side of the pull bolt at the stern position can only be caused by the shell. Drag something.

This verifies Zhang Lin's conjecture that Anna's boat is a relatively expensive imported yacht, and it is unlikely that this pull bolt will be used on weekdays, and the wear and tear on the pull bolt should be caused by the person who used a braided rope to wrap it in the middle of the night. The purpose of pulling the bolt was to tie up my wooden boat, but it was not very professional, and it was too close to the Shell and caused a bump on the stern.

If his calculations are correct, the man who drove the wooden boat should have been chasing the Shell in the dark, and after boarding the boat and finishing what he wanted to do, he would use the cable to drag his boat behind the Shell, After the Shell hit the rocks, the pair sailed back to the port conveniently.

According to this estimate, wooden ships can save almost half of the oil.Because wooden boats are small, they can only carry fewer fuel tanks, and the reason why wooden boats are used is probably because of their lighter hulls.Before Zhang Lin also doubted whether such a small wooden boat could really catch up with the Shell, but he suddenly thought of a documentary he had watched about pirates in Somalia, where the pirates were driving such small wooden boats to hijack ships of.

How many people were on the wooden boat, and what did they do after getting on the boat? Did Zhao Di's being pushed into the water have anything to do with the other party? Did the person who drove the wooden boat have anything to do with Jia Wenjun?Could it be an accomplice?

With a series of questions, the path of the wooden boat has been formed in Zhang Lin's mind, and now the whole incident seems to have been stuck on this wooden boat that suddenly appeared. If you want to solve the mystery, you must find the wooden boat and The man who sails the boat.
