Chapter 2410: Chapter 2411: Method of Murder

“Damn it!” He Yuanyuan cursed, “I’m someone who’s widely read, alright?”

Lin Yi gave a thumbs up.

“President He is awesome. I underestimated you before.”

“As long as you know.” He Yuanyuan said with a smug look:

“Just follow this direction in your investigation, I’ll help you crack the case, sister here.”

“Sister my ass, even your age isn’t as big as mine.”

“Damn it, I’m going to kill you!”

Before getting to the heart of the matter, the two of them started to bicker again.

If Ji Qingyan did not step in, the consequences would be unimaginable.

With both Lin Yi and He Yuanyuan coming over, Ji Qingyan didn’t want to keep working. In the evening, she called Gao Zongyuan to go out for dinner and shopping, since they needed someone to carry things.

“Lin Bro, what have you been busy with recently? I haven’t seen you around, I’ve looked for you several times, but they always said you were tied up with work at the station.”

Lin Yi shared the recent situation with Gao Zongyuan, and the latter, hearing about these matters, was also very interested.

Just like He Yuanyuan, he showed the expression of a curious onlooker.

“I have a feeling these two cases might be related,” Gao Zongyuan said earnestly.

“Don’t tell me you’ve read that book too.”

“Lin Bro, stop kidding around, I hate history the most. It’s a novel but I’m not interested either,” Gao Zongyuan said:

“I figured it out based on the method of murder.”

“I haven’t even figured out what the method of murder is, what could you figure out?”

“Hey, hey, hey, you’re kind of underestimating me now,” Gao Zongyuan said:

“Just think about it, though there are only three murder cases so far, the killer’s method is completely in accordance with the Five Elements, they all match up.”

“Huh? What Five Elements?”

“Think about it, the first victim, his name is Fang… Fang what?”

“Fang Daye.”

“Right, right, Fang Daye,” Gao Zongyuan said:

“He was found dead in a coffin, what is a coffin made of? Wood, right? That represents Wood.”

“The second victim, that guy surnamed Ma, he was buried by the killer in the ground, representing Earth.”

“The remaining one, Director Wang, he died in a bathtub, corresponding to Water, isn’t this three of the elements from metal, wood, water, fire, earth? In my opinion, maybe more people will die.”

Gao Zongyuan’s words gave Lin Yi an epiphany, feeling like his mind had been opened up.

He hadn’t noticed this detail before, but thinking about it now, it seemed to make perfect sense.

Let’s set aside Wang Jiasu’s case for now; he had gone through great lengths to place Fang Daye into the coffin and bury Ma Haiqiang in the ground, perhaps just to create this kind of illusion.

Murder by the Five Elements!

“Brilliant! Brilliant!” Lin Yi gave a thumbs up, “At critical moments, you guys as a couple really pull through.”

“Don’t just look at how I usually only know how to eat, drink, and have fun, but I do have some depth to me. I rarely make a move, but when I do, it’s earth-shattering.”

“They say birds of a feather flock together, the two of you look identical when you’re showing off. Just get married already.”

“Damn, haha…”

The two of them laughed loudly, teasing each other for a while.

At this time, Ji Qingyan and He Yuanyuan also finished their shopping, and the group of four went to Qin Han’s barbecue restaurant, socializing until after ten before going home.

Because shopping was a bit tiring, after returning home, Ji Qingyan washed up and went to bed.

The next morning, as usual, Lin Yi dropped Ji Qingyan off at work, then drove himself to the precinct.

In the office, aside from Zhang Hui, Zhang Peng and Zhang Zixin were also there, seemingly analyzing the case.

“Brother Hui, how far along is the autopsy work? Is it done?”

“The report is out, take a look.”

Zhang Hui pushed the report on the table towards Lin Yi.

Lin Yi picked it up but did not open it.

“Judging by your expression, it doesn’t seem like you’ve found anything important.”

“Indeed, the forensic department has given a clear answer, the victim died from electrocution, not murdered beforehand and then set up to look like an accident,” Zhang Hui said:

“Could it be that you’re being too sensitive?”

After a long silence, Lin Yi spoke: “It’s not that I’m sensitive, it’s intuition.”

“The report is in your hands, indeed it states death by electrocution, there’s no need to doubt that.”

“Yesterday, I went to his house and found some doubtful points.”

Lin Yi repeated his findings to everyone.

He also went over the analyses involving Ji Qingyan, He Yuanyuan, and Gao Zongyuan with them.

After listening, the expressions of the three people changed, indeed it was very unusual.

“Can you get in touch with the victim’s family? I want to go to the scene to have a look.”

“The keys are with me; we can go over at any time.”

“Let’s go now.”

The four got up and headed to Gubei No.1.

Upon seeing the mansion worth hundreds of millions, Zhang Peng and Zhang Zixin couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement.

“So this is the life of the rich? This is just too luxurious,” Zhang Zixin sighed.

“Lin Bro, how did you become friends with such tycoons?” Zhang Peng said.

“Lin Bro isn’t doing too badly either, it’s normal for him to know some wealthy friends.”

“Alright, let’s stop talking about that for now, let’s investigate and see if there are any clues left.”

After making a round inside the house, the three gathered again in less than ten minutes.

“That book is indeed quite strange,” Zhang Peng said:

“Do you think there might be another possibility, that the murderer deliberately threw the hairdryer into the bathtub?”

“Impossible,” Zhang Hui said:

“At the time of the incident, the victim was not wearing clothes, and the items in the bathroom were all intact, indicating that the victim had not been threatened and there were no signs of a struggle at the scene. If there was a second person at the scene, it wouldn’t be this clean.”

Lin Yi nodded, understanding what Zhang Hui meant.

If it was indeed a homicide, Wang Jiasu would not have cooperated so readily, allowing himself to be manipulated by the murderer.

“No, I’ve thought of another possibility!” Zhang Zixin said.

All eyes were on her.

“What possibility?”

“Normally, the victim definitely wouldn’t simply comply with the murderer, but what if the victim knew the murderer?” Zhang Zixin said:

“Assuming they knew each other, I believe the victim’s demeanor would be very calm.”

“That’s also a possibility, but the victim would not remain calm once the murderer starts the assault, and that is the key to the problem,” Zhang Hui said.

“Then let’s make another assumption. What if the murderer had something incriminating on the victim?”

“Incriminating evidence?”

“Yes, something that could completely ruin him.”

Hmm?

All three became interested, and Zhang Hui said:

“Continue.”

“The murderer uses the incriminating evidence to coerce the victim, making him undress and go into the bathroom to take a shower.”

As she spoke, Zhang Zixin even simulated the circumstances at that time.

“Having no choice, the victim could only do as the murderer instructed, lying down in the bathtub, and then the murderer takes out the hairdryer, placing it into the bathtub. In this way, the victim wouldn’t even have time to react before getting electrocuted to death!”
