Serious Crime Unit 1

Chapter 1184 Death of Actress (5)
"We assume that Xie Li is telling the truth. He did hand the prop pistol to Lu Hong, and Lu Hong wanted to commit suicide. She would throw away the prop pistol, take out a real gun and shoot herself. Then, the prop pistol must be Lu Hong threw him on the roadside 600 meters from the pickup truck to the crime scene. As long as we find the prop pistol, we can prove whether Xie Li lied."

"Why did Lu Hong frame Xie Li when he wanted to commit suicide?" Jiang Yiming was puzzled.

"You forgot that she had quarreled with Xie Li. If Xie Li insulted Lu Hong and Lu Hong wanted to retaliate against him, she would frame Xie Li."

"Would a person who wanted to commit suicide take revenge on someone who only verbally abused her? I believe that Xie Li would not scold Lu Hong in extremely unpleasant ways. Otherwise, she would not personally take the prop pistol to Xie Li. She is the starring role , if she has a grudge against Xie Li, she can ask others to get the prop pistol from Xie Li, because she doesn’t want to see Xie Li at all, and we asked Huang Zhong and Liu Qiu, they both said that Lu Hong did not complain to them about Xie Li, which shows that Lu Hong doesn’t care about Xie Li’s insults.”

"However, I still think that Lu Hong might not have been killed by Xie Li. If it was him, why were there no Xie Li's fingerprints on the murder gun? Even if there were Xie Li's fingerprints on the murder gun, it is common sense. His fingerprints would be missing. It’s against common sense.”

"Well, was Lu Hong killed by someone else? If the murderer is not Jie Li, then he must be someone close to Lu Hong. The murderer replaced the prop pistol with a real gun on Lu Hong's way to the scene. Also, Liu Qiu said , he originally asked two actresses to accompany Lu Hong to walk the 600-meter road, but Lu Hong firmly refused. Liu Qiu thought that Lu Hong might have a private meeting with someone along this 600-meter road."

"The most important thing now is to find the prop pistol."

"This 600-meter road is very short. If it is as you guessed, it is very easy to find the prop pistol. Just ask Xiao Bing to take Xiao Xiong to search, because the prop pistol has the smell of Jie Li and Lu Hong." Jiang Yiming Say it confidently.

"The 600-meter road is close to the sea. What I am most worried about is that Lu Hong threw the prop pistol into the sea and was washed away by the sea water. Because most of the prop pistols are made of rubber or plastic and are easily washed away by the waves."

"Then you have to give it a try. Anyway, Xiao Bing is here to serve us and he is willing to help." Jiang Yiming took out his mobile phone and called Xiao Bing and explained the situation to him. He asked Jiang Yiming to call Xie Li and go to the scene together. Search for the prop pistol. If you can't find it, ask Luo Jin to bring Lu Hong's blood sample and let Little Bear continue searching.Xiao Bing believes that this is a task that can be completed quickly.

Jiang Yiming asked Zhou Ting to drive back to Xie Li's dormitory. When Xie Li saw them, he felt strange: You just left, why are you back?Zhou Ting explained the situation to him and asked him to cooperate in finding the prop pistol, and he readily agreed.So, he got in the car and went to Dongdu Pier together, and then took a ferry to the scene on Sansha Island.

An hour later, Xiao Bing and Jin Guang came with the little bear. After sniffing Xie Li's hand, the little bear began to search along the road. 15 minutes later, the little bear found the prop pistol in the grass 20 meters below the path.Zhou Ting put on his gloves, put the prop pistol into the evidence bag, and handed it to Xie Li: "Is this the prop pistol you gave to Lu Hong?"

"Yes, that's it. Why did Lu Hong throw away the prop pistol and replace it with a real gun?" Xie Li was puzzled.

Zhou Ting took the evidence bag and used a magnifying glass to observe the fingerprints on the prop pistol. He found that there were two types of fingerprints on it, one was a man's fingerprint and the other was a woman's fingerprint.Zhou Ting had seen Lu Hong's fingerprints and concluded that the female fingerprints on the prop pistol belonged to Lu Hong.

Then, he used his mobile phone to take a photo of Xie Li's fingerprints and compared them with the male fingerprints on the prop pistol. The results were exactly the same!This shows that Xie Li did not lie. He did hand the prop pistol to Lu Hong, and Lu Hong threw away the prop pistol halfway and replaced it with a real gun.

Why did Lu Hong do this?Did she really want to commit suicide?But everyone thought it was impossible for her to commit suicide, because she had a bright future, her career was on the rise, and she was in her prime, so there was no reason to commit suicide.Then, the only possibility is that the prop pistol was exchanged by the murderer while she was 600 meters away, and this person was a very important or close person to her.

If there really is a murderer, then who is this?How did he change the prop pistol into a real gun?Huang Zhong said that there were 19 people in the crew including Lu Hong. Except for Lu Hong, the other 18 people arrived at the scene in advance. Only Lu Hong arrived at the end. Therefore, these 18 people should be ruled out as suspects.

Lu Hong arrived last, and she probably met the murderer on the road. When she wasn't paying attention, the murderer replaced the prop pistol with a real gun, causing Lu Hong's death.

For example, when Lu Hong meets her lover or boyfriend on the road, he hugs Lu Hong or kisses her. When she is not paying attention, he opens her satchel and replaces the prop pistol with a real one. He is intoxicated in the sweetness. Lu Hong didn't notice at all.Next, as long as we investigate the people close to Lu Hong, we may be able to find the murderer.

On the way back to the team, Jiang Yiming said to Zhou Ting: "I think Xie Li's suspicion cannot be ruled out. If Xie Li handed the real gun to Lu Hong at the beginning, after Lu Hong took the gun away, he would then give the prop Throw the pistol into the grass so you can avoid our detection."

"However, Lu Hong's fingerprints were on the prop pistol. If what Lu Hong got was a real gun at the beginning, then how come there were Lu Hong's fingerprints on the prop pistol?" Zhou Ting asked rhetorically.

"It's very simple. I asked Liu Qiu and he said that Lu Hong had performed many times with a prop pistol. Therefore, it is normal for her to leave fingerprints on the prop pistol."

"The prop pistol was thrown under the road about 100 meters away from the pickup truck. If Xie Li threw the prop pistol there, he would have to get out of the car and walk 100 meters before throwing the prop pistol in the grass. The driver Lin It's possible that Hua saw Xili leaving the pickup truck, I'll find out after asking Lin Hua."

"It's past get off work time today. Let's all go back and have dinner. We can't conclude that this is a murder case yet. We are not under pressure. We can take it slow. In fact, solving the case quickly and within a time limit will do more harm than good." Jiang Yi Say it clearly.

"Yes, but 72 hours is the prime time to solve the case. The longer the time, the more detrimental it will be to solving the case. For example, the evidence will be washed away by rain, the surveillance video will be covered, the memory of witnesses will become weak, etc., so, it can It is ideal to solve the case as soon as possible." Night fell quietly, and at some point, a drizzle began to fall in the sky. The newly lit lanterns competed with the fading daylight. Finally, the daylight finally gave way and quietly disappeared in the sky. horizon.There are few pedestrians on the road, and they are all in a hurry, as if they are rushing home to eat. Since the outbreak of the new coronavirus in this city, the streets and alleys have no longer been lively.

"Why were you on Sansha Island on the day of the incident?" Jiang Yiming asked with a smile.

"It was all Song Yi's fault. She wanted to meet Luo Xiaoyou, the musician of "Blue Sea Love". She had no one to accompany her, so she asked me to be the flower protector. As a result, the crime was discovered, and the flower protector did not take it seriously. She was left in the private room of Sansha Hotel to eat alone."

"Then you haven't found a chance to make amends? Maybe she didn't think you were a flower protector, and Prince Charming is here!"

"Well, let's wait until the Lu Hong case is clarified." Zhou Ting replied casually. He knew that Song Yi was not a stingy girl and believed that she would understand him.

The next day, Jiang Yiming and Zhou Ting went to find Lin Hua. He was a driver for Tuoye Film and Television Company. He sometimes drove a small truck, sometimes helped the company's vice president drive, and sometimes he was responsible for finding locations for filming movies. He wore many hats. , is a good employee who works hard and never complains.

He is 30 years old this year. After graduating from high school, he has been working in the company until now. He is considered an old employee. He is relatively honest and does not talk much. He only answers questions.He also looks very ordinary, taller and thinner, wearing a gray jacket. He is sitting in the company's lounge, with Jiang Yiming and Zhou Ting sitting in front of him.

"Master Lin, don't be nervous, just tell the truth."

"Okay, I'm not nervous. I've just never dealt with a detective before, so I'm not used to it."

"On the evening of March 3, were you sitting in the pickup truck with Xie Li?"

"Yes, Xie Li was sitting on the carriage playing with his mobile phone, while I was taking a nap in the cab."

"Did you see Lu Hong coming to get the prop pistol from Xie Li?"

"No, I am not responsible for managing the props, I am only responsible for driving."

"Did you see Terry leave the carriage?"

"Oh, I was half asleep when I heard someone getting off the car, so I woke up and saw Xili walking towards the filming site. After about 40 meters, I lost sight of him because the road turned. I didn't know him. What are you going to do? Then I started to doze off again."

"Does he know you saw him?"

"I don't know. He probably thought I was asleep."

"Do you think Xie Li is a good person?"

"It's good. Although he doesn't have much money, he occasionally invites me for a drink. This is already very difficult for him. After all, he has a wife and children. It's not easy to support his family with a monthly salary of 3500 yuan. , I can’t even bear to eat him. However, he said that his parents will support him, so don’t worry.”

"Do you think Xie Li will murder Lu Hong?"

"Murder Lu Hong? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! He and Lu Hong had no enmity, so why would he murder her? Besides, killing requires life, not acting in a movie." He answered very firmly.

"Okay, let's stop talking here. You go to work. If you think of anything suspicious, please call us, because we suspect that Lu Hong was murdered." Jiang Yiming handed him a business card, Just let him go.
