Chapter 120 Two Stories with One Ending
"Why don't you provide these clues to the police?" The master asked the same question.

Li Zian lowered his head, crossed his fingers with his beautiful hands and remained silent for a long time. "I'm afraid the police will suspect me."

"Also, when I treat stray cats and dogs, I haven't obtained relevant qualifications, which is strictly speaking illegal."

"Treating stray cats and dogs... sounds great." The master's words were full of sarcasm.

"I'm telling the truth, there's nothing you can do if you don't believe me." Li Zian's voice remained gentle.

This tone is even more maddening.

"Strangle them...does it count as treatment?" The master placed Yang Siqi's report in front of him.

Li Zian took the newspaper and observed it carefully and said, "I didn't do this."

"The dry well... is almost like a cemetery for animals. Domestic pets die, get sick, or don't want them, and people throw them there. I just put animal carcasses there because of this."

"Who can prove your words?" The master said calmly.

A lot of evidence has disappeared with the passage of time, and the police are now unable to determine the exact time of death of the deceased.The murderer took aim at this point and confused the public.

"My words... no one can prove it. I can't prove it's true, but you can't prove it's false either." Li Zian retorted clearly.

"The French Open is very sparse and not leaking, you still left the handle in Yang Xiu's hands. Otherwise, you wouldn't go to his house secretly..." The master carefully observed Li Zian's expression.

An expression of astonishment flashed across Li Zian's face, and he quickly regained his composure.

"I don't know what you mean? I've never been to Yang Xiu's house. I don't know where he lives. I reached out to him via post just because his story bothered me."

"Is it just trouble? He also followed you?"

Although this was just the master's guess, he asked Li Zian back with a very positive tone.

Li Zian's face darkened, and he admitted: "Yes, he has followed me. I have explained to him many times, but he just doesn't believe it."

Li Zian smiled helplessly: "I didn't understand why he was so obsessed with me until I saw his post. He is not for some so-called justice, he just wants to gain both fame and fortune."

"Once a person is blinded by interests, he cannot see anything else. He has already lost his qualifications as a journalist."

"It's as if you are noble. It's just that you can't argue with bullying him." Yuan Mu didn't like his arrogant appearance of criticizing others.

Li Zian glanced at Yuan Mu in surprise, this quiet-looking policewoman was so sharp when she spoke.

“10月20日晚上22点至10月21日，你在哪里都干了些什么？”师傅问道。

Knowing that the police were still suspicious of him, Li Zian frowned, and said after a long time: "I was on duty at the hospital that day, and I didn't leave until the next morning after checking the ward. The nurses, staff and patients in the hospital can all testify to me. "

If what Li Zian said was true, then he couldn't be the murderer of Yang Ping.The case was once again at an impasse.

At the work meeting of the criminal police team, the police officers turned into smokers one after another, making the meeting room smoky.When the old forensic doctor came in, he seemed a little overwhelmed.

"Puff up all the cigarettes for me, look, what's it like? Hurry up and open the window to ventilate, yo, there are lesbians, you rough old men, just don't care about life and death, if there are lesbians present You have to pay attention anyway."

"Move faster, hurry up."

The detachment leader directed everyone to put out the cigarettes and open the windows for ventilation, while flatteringly inviting the old forensic doctor in. "Please sit down, sit down."

"Okay, it's not easy for everyone, let's sit down and talk."

The dark circles under his eyes that had not seen a forensic doctor all day became thicker, and his face was unstoppably tired, as if he had stayed up all night.

"My old bones, you will torture me to death sooner or later." The forensic doctor complained after taking the hot water from the detachment leader.

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. As long as this case is solved, I will never bother you again." The detachment leader promised solemnly.

It's just that the team members don't believe his words, let alone the old forensic doctor.

"When did you count your words?" The old forensic doctor opened the report angrily.

The police officers were all staring at the forensic report, and the venue was silent for a while.

It took the forensic doctor half an hour to finish reading the report.As soon as the words fell, everyone began to discuss impatiently.

"The deceased suffered two blows to the head during his lifetime. This shows that Zhao Jun and Li Zian's words are true. They both injured the deceased. The key is which wound is the fatal injury."

"Didn't you listen to the forensic doctor? Neither of these two injuries was the cause of death. The real cause of death was the fracture caused by the high fall and infection after bleeding."

"In other words, the one who pushed him into the well was the murderer. That's the problem again, and now we still have no way to determine who pushed him down."

"Old Fu, is this the breakthrough you're talking about? It's useless." The detachment leader complained.

The old forensic doctor cleared his throat and said, "Don't worry about listening to me."

The police officers immediately stopped discussing, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at the forensic doctor.

The forensic doctor couldn't bear everyone's spotlight-like eyes, so he lowered his voice and read out another report.

After the report was read, there was still silence in the venue.

"How is it? Will it be of great help to you?" the forensic doctor asked proudly.

"I'm exhausted... I checked the skeletons of dozens of cats and dogs in one night. I'll go catch up on sleep first, and I'll leave the rest to you."

When he reached the door, the forensic doctor turned around and said, "By the way, there may be good news from the laboratory in a while. I handed over the deceased's clothes and belongings to them."

There really is a third person...It wasn't until the forensic doctor left that the police officers reacted.

The head of the detachment reopened the forensic report and said: "The forensic doctor examined 78 animal skeletons, 20 of which had trauma and signs of treatment; the other 58 had fractured neck bones, all of which were strangled to death, and the technique was similar to that of Luqiao. The killers were similar, and the twine used to strangle the animals was very similar to that used by the road and bridge killers."

"It can be preliminarily inferred that there are two people who dumped animal carcasses into the dry well. One of them is Li Zian, and the other is probably the Luqiao Killer."

"It's just that we don't know now, whether Yang Xiu knows about this situation... If he meets the Luqiao killer in the dry well..., the murderer will have another possibility."

At this time, the door of the meeting room was opened, and the inspection report was sent by the inspection department.

Although everyone couldn't see the test results, they could guess from the cracked smile on the detachment leader's face that the result was exactly what they inferred.

"The composition of the hemp rope is the same as that left by the Luqiao Killer at the murder scene. It can be determined that the other person who threw the body into the dry well is the Luqiao Killer."

"In addition, we extracted new male DNA from the deceased's clothes, indicating that on the night Yang Xiu was killed, a third person had been there and had contact with him."

"And this, you all have a look." Said the detachment leader and distributed the photos in his hand to everyone.
