CHAPTER 59: CHAPTER 59: YOU CAN ACTUALLY RECREATE THE CRIME SCENE WITH COMICS!

At that moment, the secretary Xiaolan brought in two cups of fine Longjing tea.

"Guests! Please enjoy!"

A faint fragrance wafted over as Li Jian lifted the teacup and took a sip.

From his earlier observations, his intuition told him.

The woman before him probably wasn’t the murderer.

Even though she had an unpleasant past with the deceased, Zhang Qian.

However.

As she said, seeking revenge for past grievances against someone inferior to herself would be quite irrational.

Moreover, there was no need for her to gamble with her future and prospects.

While Mr. Li was pondering, Chen He said, "Have you heard about the case from 8 years ago?"

Qin Hong nodded.

"I only got the news from the news back then."

Chen He asked, "What do you think about this case?"

Qin Hong said, "Back then, at school, due to incompatible personalities, we rarely interacted."

"So, I don’t know much about her."

"Moreover, our life values are different."

"What do you mean?"

Mr. Li asked.

Qin Hong hesitated for a while and then said, "It’s not very appropriate to speak ill of the deceased."

"But since you’ve asked, I’ll tell you."

"At that time, there were four people in the dormitory; three of them were from the city, and I was from the countryside."

"So, different life experiences created a significant barrier between us."

"Especially Zhang Qian, I really didn’t like her."

"Because she was very snobbish."

"Even though she dated Li Dong for four years, she didn’t really intend to be with him."

"The three of them were hoping to find a rich and handsome man, especially Zhang Qian."

"Of course, she did; she found a boss with good financial conditions."

"Sure enough, she dumped Li Dong upon graduation."

Finally, Qin Hong smiled.

"This counts as ’the mistress rising to power’."

Suddenly, Li Jian recalled the investigation of Zhang Qian’s husband’s profile from back then.

That man didn’t marry Zhang Qian until long after his divorce, with no indications of a mistress usurping the position.

Then, Li Jian asked, "Regarding Zhang Qian and her husband, they met each other long after the man’s divorce, right?"

Qin Hong sneered, "That’s just what’s said outside."

"In fact, during their sophomore year, Zhang Qian frequently interned at that man’s company."

"The reason they got married so late was partly because Zhang Qian was still studying."

"Another reason is that the man was trying to maintain his image and didn’t make their relationship public until long after his divorce."

"Of course, only people in our dorm knew this; others were unaware."

"I overheard it in the dorm back then."

"That’s why our perspectives on life and the world differ."

"I hope to change the world with my own hands."

"She just hopes to achieve herself by relying on a man."

Hearing this, Li Jian looked up at Qin Hong.

He felt Qin Hong was telling the truth.

Chen He then asked some more questions.

However, they weren’t very significant.

Finally, Li Jian said, "Mr. Qin, thank you for your cooperation and taking up your time."

Qin Hong stood up to see the two of them to the door.

However, when Li Jian and Chen He turned to leave, Qin Hong said, "Actually, I think you should look for Li Dong."

"He was the backup for four years. If he knew the truth, he might be deeply resentful."

Li Jian said solemnly, "Thank you, we will investigate and verify."

The two of them walked with heavy steps to the open-air parking lot.

Chen He opened the car door and glanced back at the electronics factory.

He said, "The case just got more complicated."

"Yesterday, we interrogated Li Dong, and he said he didn’t kill anyone, but suspects Zhang Qian’s roommate, Qin Hong."

"Now Qin Hong says Li Dong is suspicious."

Li Jian lit a cigarette, took a couple of puffs, and asked, "What do you think about Qin Hong’s performance just now?"

Chen He said, "I can’t say for sure; I feel she might not have been truthful."

"However, accusing her of being the murderer might be a bit far-fetched."

Li Jian said, "Actually, after that encounter, I’m more interested in the male victim’s ex-wife."

"8 years ago, we did investigate her."

"At the time, because a long time had passed since the divorce, we only asked briefly and didn’t delve deep."

Chen He sat inside as he opened the car door.

He sighed and said, "This case, it’s really been full of twists and turns."

Li Jian said, "Good things take time."

"This case is becoming clearer to us."

Meanwhile.

Zhang Yean woke up in the duty room.

She got out of bed to wash up and ordered two cups of mocha coffee on her phone.

minutes later, Zhang Yean received the coffee delivery at the city bureau entrance.

Then, she headed straight to the detective team’s meeting room.

On the way, she speculated that Jiang An might still be in the meeting room studying the case.

Sure enough.

When she walked into the meeting room with two cups of mocha coffee, she saw Jiang An sitting on the chair, writing furiously.

Zhang Yean walked over, handed over the coffee, and said, "Have a cup of coffee and refresh yourself."

Hearing the sound, Jiang An turned and smiled, "Thank you, senior sister."

Zhang Yean glanced at the papers on the table.

"What is it? Are you drawing comics?"

Jiang An replied, "Senior sister! These aren’t comics."

"This is my depiction of the entire crime scene, displaying the case as it unfolds in my mind through drawings."

Zhang Yean asked puzzled, "Is this what the professor called crime scene reconstruction during college?"

Jiang An nodded.

"Yes!"

"I’m using the traces and evidence from the scene photos to reconstruct the entire event."

Hearing this, Zhang Yean was instantly interested.

She put down her coffee and picked up the stack of papers to examine them closely.

She turned each page slowly, from the first to the last, not overlooking any illustration.

She even examined the annotations in the images very attentively.

From the knocking on the door by the murderer, the couple opening the door, then the three of them entering and fighting, from the entrance to the living room, the couple falling in a pool of blood...

After 10 minutes, Zhang Yean gave a thumbs up, exclaiming, "You indeed have a talent for drawing."

"It’s even more exciting than the Detective Conan comics I read as a child!"

"You could definitely publish a detective case-solving comic in the future."

Jiang An said, "This is just the process of the incident and may not have commercial value."

After a moment, Zhang Yean frowned slightly and said, "However, there are three murderers in the drawings, why did only two enter the bedroom?"

Her gaze settled on the last picture, then asked, "Why did this female suspect leave early?"
