Chapter 919: Treated with the Utmost Importance

Not only does Song Jiangguo know this person, but Director Chen Weiguo of the High-tech Zone Bureau also knows him, and moreover, Chen Weiguo is relatively familiar with him, after all, everyone is in the High-tech Zone and has worked here for a long time.

"Old Chen, what do you think?"

After listening to Lu Chuan’s report, Song Jiangguo did not immediately leave to report to the city.

Instead, he asked for Chen Weiguo’s opinion.

"Private vendetta!"

Chen Weiguo replied affirmatively.

"So certain?"

Chen Weiguo nodded: "At the first crime scene, not only did Lu Chuan’s team reconstruct the scene, but we also discovered some other things."

Chen Weiguo picked out a photo from several and placed it in front of Song Jiangguo.

"This was found under the bed in the main bedroom at the victim Zhang Haibin’s house, a total of 6.72 million in cash!"

Chen Weiguo sighed: "Not only that, when we analyzed the victim’s family situation, we checked their property holdings."

"Zhang Haibin and his wife Chen Xue each have two properties in their name, and their son and daughter have as many as seven properties in total!"

When Chen Jiang first discovered these things, he was a little incredulous about how Zhang Haibin could have so many properties?

The key issue was, with so many properties, it’s unclear where the family lived.

Chen Jiang gathered information from the tax bureau and learned that they lived on Happy Road because their son needed to attend school.

Coincidentally, the victim’s daughter was usually not at home.

Because yesterday was the weekend, the daughter returned from university and was at home for a day of rest, originally planning to leave this morning.

As a result, the family encountered this incident.

"But the perpetrator didn’t take any of the money. If they were after the money, it was hidden under the main bed, and it’s unlikely the perpetrator wouldn’t have found it."

Chen Weiguo continued: "Moreover, the perpetrator was ruthless, aiming to eliminate the entire family, and also assaulted Zhang Haibin’s daughter, indicating a strong likelihood of a private vendetta, otherwise the methods wouldn’t have been so brutal."

After hearing Chen Weiguo’s analysis, Song Jiangguo nodded in agreement.

Then he turned to Lu Chuan: "What do you think?"

"I agree with Director Chen’s analysis. Additionally, this case was meticulously planned and premeditated."

Oh?

Song Jiangguo was puzzled: "Why do you say so?"

"Because it was too coincidental."

Lu Chuan continued his report: "Firstly, the perpetrator took great care in handling the scene. Not a single footprint was left on the ground."

The perpetrator wiped the entire floor with the victim’s mop, removing all traces of footprints.

The mop used was placed in the corner, but Lu Chuan did not retrieve any fingerprints from it.

"It’s not that there were no fingerprints on the mop, but there were no fingerprints from the perpetrator. I only found the fingerprints of the four family members on it."

Lu Chuan’s words were understood by Song Jiangguo.

If the perpetrator had wiped the fingerprints off the mop handle, none would have remained, and the fact that only the family’s fingerprints were left indicates that the perpetrator likely wore gloves.

"In the room where the victim’s daughter was attacked, there were many bloodstains wiped on the wall, and I even found two palm prints."

Lu Chuan selected two photos from those in front of him and handed them to Song Jiangguo.

"But these palm prints had no discernible fingerprints, indicating that the perpetrator wore gloves, and judging by the texture of the blood palm prints, they seem to be ordinary fabric gloves."

In fact, these gloves are used to prevent fingerprints from being left due to their special material properties, like sweat and oil absorption, and elasticity, making it impossible for fingerprints to be imprinted on surfaces even if the perpetrator touched walls or other hard objects roughly.

"The perpetrator wore gloves throughout the crime, and even during the assault on Zhang Mei, no bruises were left. We found traces of lubricant on the bedding at the crime scene."

"The perpetrator likely used a condom."

Lu Chuan frowned deeply: "The meticulousness in preparing such items indicates premeditated intent. The perpetrator clearly planned to do this."

"Additionally, there’s the Xiaokong District’s monitoring cameras. Although this old district has no monitoring within the courtyard, there is a high-definition camera at the entrance that was installed just last year."

Lu Chuan flipped to another photo: "From yesterday afternoon to this afternoon, within the 24-hour timeline, the camera was under maintenance, so it couldn’t capture anyone entering or leaving the area."

"The perpetrator’s timing must have been well-considered and carefully planned out."

Lu Chuan’s analysis was very logically structured, using several pieces of evidence to support his guesses.

"Was there anything else discovered?"

Song Jiangguo continued to ask.

"There is more." Lu Chuan nodded, "I suspect the perpetrator likely lives or works near the victim’s home."

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

"Because the perpetrator knew Zhang Haibin’s daughter had returned home!"

Lu Chuan went on: "The perpetrator knew about the daughter’s return, so they prepared the condom."

"But... could it not be that the perpetrator intended something against the victim, Chen Xue, and simply found a younger target in the victim’s daughter, or is there no such possibility?"

Chen Weiguo asked doubtfully.

"No, no."

Lu Chuan firmly shook his head in denial.

"Once the perpetrator entered the room, he acted very swiftly. After stabbing Zhang Haibin twice, he immediately lunged at Zhang Haibin’s son, who was sitting on the sofa."

Lu Chuan’s recount of the crime scene was thorough: "Once the victim Zhang Haibin was stabbed, he quickly lost his ability to resist and act, and at this point, his son must have noticed something was wrong and stood up from the sofa."

"The son was likely trying to help his father or stop the perpetrator, but the perpetrator was too quick. After stabbing Zhang Haibin twice, he immediately lunged onto the sofa, pinning and stabbing Zhang Haibin’s son, who had stood up, twice!"

"The reason for this judgment is that only this movement direction would cause the son’s blood to spray onto the TV."

Lu Chuan explained further: "At this point, the victim Chen Xue, who was in the kitchen, must have heard noises and came out, only to be stabbed twice by the perpetrator at the kitchen door, collapsing there."

"But didn’t the victim’s daughter in the secondary bedroom hear the commotion?"
