Chapter 494: Chapter 360: Fatal Flaw!
How long after Hu Hua’s death did the police find the body....
Chen Changchun paused, instinctively saying, "Three hours after death, the report was made, and three and a half hours later, police from both cities arrived at the scene. Shortly after, they spent two days capturing Lv Xiong."
"So fast!?"
Xu Liang’s face showed a look of surprise.
"It’s already slow. Negotiations between the two municipal bureaus took a long time, and the scene was in the mountains, making it impossible to trace the Hunter. Besides the village chief, nobody in Sanma Village said Lv Xiong was a Hunter, otherwise, it wouldn’t have taken two days...."
Chen Changchun shook his head and said.
But....
"I’m not talking about the investigation."
Xu Liang shook his head, focusing on another point.
"Three hours after Hu Hua’s death.... the report was made!"
Three hours, only a short three hours!
Considering that besides the village chief, there might be no one else with a phone in Sanma Village.
The person who discovered the body likely found it an hour after Hu Hua’s death, quickly composed themselves, then returned to the village to discuss, and reported it within three hours.
In other words.
"The person reported the death within an hour of Hu Hua’s death!?"
"Even if it was three hours, the time is still too fast!" Xu Liang said.
The crime scene isn’t in the city. In the city, when someone is shot on the street, you fire the gun, and someone immediately calls the police, give or take a few minutes.
But this is the desolate deep mountains!
Whether three hours or one hour, it’s too fast...
Chen Changchun paused; he was experienced and immediately understood Xu Liang’s thoughts.
What does it mean?
In the past ten years in Sanma Village, out of twenty-three death cases, even the location of the death wasn’t known.
How come Hu Hua was discovered just an hour after his death!?
It’s like the phrase ’Why not bully others, but pick on you’ makes no sense.
But the suspicion is just like this.
Especially....
"Hu Hua happened to have a different identity from those twenty-three people."
Su Yu interrupted suddenly, her eyebrows furrowing as she hesitated and said:
"This kid is from Qingshi City...."
No one found a body from the twenty-three cases.
The only case that was reported quickly had a victim from another place, a person whose disappearance couldn’t be concealed!
"Who was the person that reported it?"
Xu Liang suddenly squinted, connecting the dots.
With so many bodies in Sanma Village that the police couldn’t find, there’s only one possibility.
The bodies disappeared!
Only a person could achieve this.
In other words, someone found the bodies of the victims from the twenty-three missing cases!
When did the other party find them?
Months after death? Years? Or... hours after death?
"Is there a problem with the person who reported it!?"
Chen Changchun’s face was surprised, but he did not refute, instead he carefully pondered.
Under normal circumstances, when someone discovers a murder, the first thing the police will check is the person who reported it.
Although it sounds unethical, countless cases of murder followed by pretending to be a passerby and reporting it have taught the police that they must check the reporting person!
So, right after the crime, the police investigated the identity information of the person who reported it.
"A resident from a district in Hanhai City, about... ten kilometers from Sanma Village, forty-seven years old, named Liu Meng."
"According to him... it seemed like he went to the mountains to play with a slingshot and hunt, that’s why he went to the nearest deep mountains."
"But shortly after entering the mountains, he heard a sound, went to check, and found the body."
"Then immediately reported to the police."
Playing with a slingshot and hunting, accidentally stumbling upon a body....
A very reasonable explanation.
But still, it’s the same old story.
Considering the previous twenty-three cases, spanning more than a decade, this case... the reporting speed is too fast!
"Where does he live?"
Xu Liang asked, his eyes flashing.
"Probably about... four kilometers from the police station." Chen Changchun said.
"Rose District, Building 8, Room 801."
Rose District 801...
Xu Liang silently memorized it, then looked at Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu.
"Since it’s still early, let’s drive over."
The two women naturally didn’t object and nodded immediately.
But...
Chen Changchun wanted to join them, but Xu Liang seemed to think of something and stopped him.
"Forget it, Captain Chen, no need to accompany us; I’ll consult you if there are follow-up issues."
After saying this.
Xu Liang led the group out of the police station.
Chen Changchun’s lips moved for a moment, then he sighed, "Alright."
As for...
At the entrance of the criminal police team, as Xu Liang and the others got into the car.
"Why didn’t you let Captain Chen come along? What if there’s any danger...."
Su Yu asked worriedly as soon as she got in the car.
Xu Liang, adjusting his seat while casually saying, "Letting Captain Chen... or rather, the police accompany us would be truly dangerous!"
They were going to find Liu Meng, the person who reported it, and there are only two possible outcomes.
First, the hypothesis is wrong, and Liu Meng indeed accidentally found the body.
This doesn’t matter much, only wasting Xu Liang’s time.
Second....
Liu Meng indeed has a problem!
Then the other party, when confronted with a police investigation, would surely become vigilant.
Even slightly probing questions could alert the other party that the police suspect him.
Instead, Xu Liang himself.
"I’m a lawyer, going to inquire in the capacity of a lawyer."
"That would present a completely different attitude from the other party."
Xu Liang said slowly, then turned the car key.
"Vroom~"
The engine buzzed.
Now everyone knows that Xu Liang is Lv Xiong’s defense lawyer, so the person framing Lv Xiong certainly knows his identity too.
During the first trial period... Xu Liang never denied that Lv Xiong was the killer, also defending with an insanity plea.
This also further proves that Xu Liang believed Lv Xiong is the murderer!
