The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective-Chapter 423 - 249: Make It Up! Keep Making It Up! (Part 2)
"Don’t worry about this, even if the production tasks for this month are not met, you won’t be blamed."
Li Xiang paused for a moment, then nodded.
"Alright then, since the manager said so, I won’t worry."
Soon after, Mr. Qin said in a serious tone, "Come with us to the station for investigation cooperation."
"There’s synchronized audio and video recording in the interrogation room, which ensures our impartial law enforcement."
Immediately, Li Xiang quickly left Workshop Three along with Mr. Qin and Zhang.
Watching the three of them walk away, the manager was perplexed.
This man, with broad shoulders who usually works diligently, could he really be connected to the case?
He was especially baffled by He Biao’s disappearance.
Upon a second thought, he suddenly realized, is it that all the men who have contact with Wang Shantao end up badly?
Meanwhile, Li Jian and his team, after finding a suspicious spot by the river, hurried off to the traffic management bureau to retrieve surveillance footage from both sides of the water entry point.
As the three stood in front of the display screen retrieving footage, they were somewhat disappointed.
Wan spread his hands and said to Li Jian, "Captain, the resolution is too low."
"At the current camera position, it’s hard to make out a person’s appearance even at 100 meters, let alone 200 meters."
Upon hearing this, Li Jian also sighed.
"The clarity is poor during the day, let alone at night."
"If it’s at dusk and the light is any dimmer, it’s even harder to see."
At this moment, Jiang An had a distinctly different opinion from Li Jian, Wan, and Zhang Yean.
Zhang Yean suddenly said, "Mr. Li, although we can’t make out the faces, we can at least see the number of figures."
Upon hearing this, Li Jian suddenly realized.
He said, "That’s right! That’s indeed the key."
Then, he said, "Please retrieve the footage from dusk two days ago for us."
Soon, the staff manipulated the mouse, retrieved the footage for that time period, and played it at triple speed.
From the surveillance, a figure could be seen in the distance, walking into the frame.
Gradually, the image became clearer.
When the camera was at the nearest point, his appearance was finally visible.
Seeing this, Zhang Yean said excitedly, "It’s him."
He Biao’s appearance was clearly visible in the footage.
Then, He Biao slowly walked away from the camera towards the water entry point.
When He Biao arrived near the water, there was someone
standing by the shore waiting for a few minutes.
Subsequently, through the camera, a car could be vaguely seen stopping there, and a man got out.
Unfortunately, because the camera was too far away, the image was blurry, and the man’s face couldn’t be distinguished.
After watching, Zhang Yean said, "Only one person got out of the car, doesn’t this car have a license plate?"
Upon being asked, the staff immediately replayed the footage. However, due to the angle of the camera, the license plate couldn’t be clearly seen.
Then, Li Jian said, "Please slow down the footage of the man getting out of the car to 0.8 times the speed, let’s see what happened."
"Alright, I’ll rewind it right away." Soon, the surveillance footage became much slower.
Then they saw that after the man got out of the car, the two men talked by the roadside for a while, and then a vague scuffle was visible.
"They’re fighting, they’re fighting!" Wan said excitedly.
Then, the footage continued.
One of the men was seen continuously pushing the other person.
They gradually disappeared from the surveillance, just blocked by a tree.
Soon after, there was a five-minute blank with no footage.
Five minutes later, a tall man came out clapping his hands.
Although his facial features couldn’t be distinguished, judging from his height, it seemed to be the man who got out of the car just now.
In the footage, the man stood by the roadside, waving to stop a car.
Due to the very dim light, the car model and plate couldn’t be seen.
Then, Li Jian asked anxiously, "Can we retrieve the monitoring along the way to look at this man’s route?"
The staff nodded, "In principle, yes, but that area is within a development zone."
"Moreover, the surveillance there is recently under maintenance, so it’s impossible to determine whether there is usable surveillance footage."
Hearing this, Li Jian was furious.
If he could determine the direction the man left in, at least they could find the next target."
Standing beside, Wan muttered, "Maintenance?"
"Every time it’s not needed, the cameras are fine, but they’re broken whenever they’re needed."
Hearing this, the staff glanced back at Wan.
At this moment, Zhang Yean noticed the staff’s gaze and whispered, "Wan..."
At this moment, Jiang An fell deep into thought.
During the investigation of the case, it was found that the surge of water at the scene washed away a lot of key evidence.
Now, with the surveillance footage so blurry, it’s really hard to find conclusive evidence.
Even if they find that man, how can they prove he’s the culprit?
Can the truth finally emerge?
Meanwhile, Li Xiang had been brought into the interrogation room.
Sitting in the interrogation room, Mr. Qin didn’t immediately ask about the case.
He put on a calm demeanor.
"Li Xiang, do you know who’s sitting in the interrogation room next door?"
"Next door?"
Li Xiang turned his head to look over and said, "I don’t know!"
"Who is it?"
"I don’t want to care who it is."
"What’s it got to do with me?"
"Investigation and solving crimes are your police matters."
Mr. Qin laughed heartily.
"Of course, investigations and solving crimes are our police matters."
"Wang Shantao is sitting next door, I suppose you’re not surprised?"
While speaking, Mr. Qin deliberately emphasized the name "Wang Shantao."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiang smirked and said, "So what if it’s her?"
"She and I have nothing!"
Then, he shook his head.
"I was ignorant back then, did things I shouldn’t have done, harmed my family, and damaged my own reputation."
"You seem to be brushing it off easily."
"Exactly. You met in the factory, developed feelings through frequent work interactions, and secretly dated behind your spouses’ backs."
"But that history hasn’t ended and is still continuing."
"You were in contact just two days ago, don’t you agree with me?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiang suddenly raised his head and glanced at Mr. Qin.
"Officer, sorry, I don’t know what you’re talking about."
"Don’t know what I’m talking about?"
Mr. Qin turned to Zhang.
Zhang understood immediately and took out the call records.
"With such frequent calls, don’t tell me they’re harassment calls?"
Seeing the call records on the paper, Li Xiang immediately lowered his head.
Moments later, he raised his head and twitched his mouth.
"Yes! So what?"
"Is it a problem for a divorced man to be with a woman whose husband has died?"
"No problem! Of course, there’s no problem!"
"But, while you were in contact, her husband wasn’t dead yet."
"Even more crucially, the day before yesterday evening, they had a 30-second call."
"Please tell me, what did you talk about?"
After a long time, Li Xiang laughed.
"Talk about what?"
Li Jian, with a mischievous smile, "Nothing much, just about getting a room together."
"Getting a room?"
"Is it that simple?"
"Please tell me, where did you get a room? Where’s the record?"
Li Xiang spread his hands, nonchalantly saying, "She refused, saying she couldn’t do it just after her husband died."
Instantly, Mr. Qin slammed the table and stood up.
"You’re lying!"
"Fabricate more! Keep fabricating!"
