Forensic Medicine Qu Xiaoshui

Chapter 238 Handicraft Murder Case (17)

The answer is about to come out.

The most reasonable explanation is that Jiang Jianqing was still here at that time and did not leave at all.

"So, there must be a dark room here that allows him to come quietly behind Li Yitai." Qu Xiaoshui stood at the position Li Yitai said, then turned around suddenly, and looked at the area behind him.

"The door must be in this area."

This studio is only about a hundred square meters, and it is easier to find it with a demarcated area.

Soon, the shelves were removed one by one, revealing the bare white walls.

Several people divided into several areas, and began to grope on the wall, tapping the wall lightly with their knuckles from time to time, and using their voices to judge whether it was a solid wall or a hollow wall.

Jiang Yue fumbled to a place, curled his fingers, and tapped there. The sound was muffled. It could be judged that it was a solid wall, so he took another step forward.

When I knocked again this time, the sound was very different from just now.

Jiang Yue knocked again as if confirming, finally convinced that he found the right place.

"Here!" he yelled to the people next to him.

Several people gathered around Jiang Yue, watching his hands groping the wall inch by inch, and suddenly touched a place that felt cold to the touch.

He pressed it with his fingers, and a circular handle suddenly appeared on the flat wall.

"Ah!" Zhang Ming's eyes straightened.

The workmanship of this door is absolutely perfect. If you don't touch it with your hands, you can't see any clues if you just look at it with your naked eyes.

Jiang Yue pushed back a few steps, leaned forward and pulled, and the door opened quietly without any sound.

"It's no wonder that Li Yitai didn't hear the sound at that time. We watched it open and didn't hear any movement." Jiang Yue couldn't help admiring the craftsman's ingenuity.

He glanced at Qu Xiaoshui: "I'll go down and have a look first, you guys wait here."

Several people were quite confident in Jiang Yue's skills, and they all agreed, and watched him walk into the dark room.

Jiang Yue tentatively went down the steps, turned on the light of the mobile phone, and found the switch of the main light.

After confirming that there was no danger inside, Jiang Yue turned on the light, and the light in the room dispelled the darkness.

Jiang Jianqing left in a hurry, the tools on the table were messy, and even the gelatin that was heating had dried up in the container.

"Come in, there is a workshop inside." Jiang Yue shouted to the few people outside.

Qu Xiaoshui and the others thought it was some kind of secret room with many traps, but it turned out to be an ordinary workshop.

Qu Xiaoshui noticed the oversized workbench at a glance, and walked straight over.

She now knew that these restorers attached great importance to the scraps of wood carvings, so she didn't look for scraps on the table in vain.

Instead, I directly found the brush used to collect the debris.

She put on her gloves and put the brush in the evidence bag.

After checking the darkroom, they let Li Yitai in.

Li Yitai stared blankly at the opened wall, still a little bit stunned.

"That's how things are. If there is any follow-up investigation, I hope you can actively cooperate." Qu Xiaoshui explained a few words briefly.

But in the past few days, things have happened one after another, and troubles have come one after another. Li Yitai has a little difficulty accepting the current situation.

"Do you mean... Uncle Cong Li is the real murderer?" He looked at Qu Xiaoshui, wanting to hear a negative answer.

This made Qu Xiaoshui a little embarrassed.

Mi Yu sneered at you: "What else do you want to hear from us? Or what else do you want to fantasize about? The facts are all in front of you, who do you want to embarrass?!"

Qu Xiaoshui slapped Mi Yu, and she smiled apologetically at Li Yitai: "He is currently one of the suspects, and we can't conclude that the murderer is him yet."

Li Yitai returned to the workbench in a daze, looked at the half-carved wood carving, clenched his fists, and slammed it hard on the table.

Qu Xiaoshui wanted to say something, but Jiang Yue pressed his shoulder.

"Let him be alone for a while, let's go back to the team first."

Looking at Li Yitai who was full of frustration, Qu Xiaoshui pursed his lips and nodded to Jiang Yue.

Perhaps, a quiet space is what he needs most at this time.

Several people left the studio quietly.

After sending the returned brush to the forensics department, Qu Xiaoshui sat in the forensic room in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yue looked at his absent-minded girlfriend and handed him a cup of hot water.

Qu Xiaoshui blew the hot air: "I just think they are a little pitiful."

"Don't think too much." Jiang Yue stroked her soft hair: "You just need to keep your responsibilities in mind."

It doesn't matter whether you are poor or not, if you commit a crime, you should be severely punished by the law.

"En." Qu Xiaoshui responded softly.

Not long after, as Qu Xiaoshui expected, Mi Yu brought a new laboratory test form from the forensics department.

"How is it?" Qu Xiaoshui asked nervously even though he knew the truth in his heart.

"As you guessed, the brush is covered with nanmu wood chips." Mi Yu handed her the test sheet.

Qu Xiaoshui took it, flipped through it, and handed it to Jiang Yue.

"The current evidence can only prove that Jiang Jianqing was indeed present at the scene of the crime. But we haven't found the most important murder weapon yet." Qu Xiaoshui had a headache.

"What did you find?" Jiang Yue asked.

"Li Yitai said that Buddha statues are basically hollow, and some objects are placed inside." Qu Xiaoshui looked at his kissing boyfriend eagerly, with unconcealable anticipation in his eyes.

"You mean, Jiang Jianqing probably hid the murder weapon in the golden nanmu wood carving?" Jiang Yue also had a headache.

"So, our most important job now is actually to find that wood carving?" Mi Yu pushed his glasses.

How is this different from finding a needle in a haystack?
"Actually, I personally think that the real murderer is most likely Cong Li."

When the two men were thinking about how to find an immeasurable Buddha statue, Qu Xiaoshui spoke weakly.

"Do you have evidence?" Mi Yu asked bluntly.

Qu Xiaoshui curled her lips: "No." Everything was just her speculation.

"Then you just stay quietly, we are trying to find a way." Mi Yu rolled his eyes.

Qu Xiao's water vapor turns into a puffer fish.

But seeing how they were thinking seriously, they still lay discouraged on the table and didn't make a sound to disturb them.

At this time, Chen Sheng walked in: "Let Li Yitai come to the bureau."

Qu Xiaoshui raised his eyelids without energy: "What's the matter?"

"Tell him to drive Jiang Jianqing's car back. It's been left here, it's not looking good." Chen Sheng said.

Qu Xiaoshui had no choice but to get up and called Li Yitai.

"He said he would pick up the car in the afternoon."

Chen Sheng nodded: "The person who followed Cong Li came back and said that he went home directly after leaving the studio, stayed at home for about half an hour, and then returned to the studio. He hasn't come out since then."

Qu Xiaoshui answered with a listless sound.

Such a state made Chen Sheng tighten his eyebrows: "Be more energetic, there are so many things, what are you like now?"

Qu Xiaoshui drooped his shoulders and leaned into Jiang Yue's arms: "I've been hit hard and I'm rebuilding my spiritual world."

Chen Sheng wanted to train a few more words, but Jiang Yue shook his head slightly at him.

"Just keep getting used to her!"
