Chapter 391: If He Doesn't Die, I Can't Be Free (2500 Monthly Tickets Plus

In the video, Zhao Guangming's neck is tightly strangled by stockings.

His hands and feet were shaking violently.

The handcuffs and shackles clattered on the metal racks.

Balenciaga's monogram stockings are stretched straight.

From the video, you can see that Zhao Guangming's eyes gradually bulged forward.

He made a whooshing sound from his mouth and kept staring at Lin Xiaoyue.

Zhao Guangming must have been asking Lin Xiaoyue for help at that time. As long as Lin Xiaoyue pressed the remote control, he could put him down from the metal frame and he would not have to die.

The remote control was at Zhao Guangming's feet. During the exercise, he had been controlling the remote control himself.

However, at the moment when the legs of the slumped stool suddenly broke, the remote control slipped from Zhao Guangming's hand.

The video recording is very complete.

From the beginning when he entered the women's locker room and placed the metal rack, until the end when Zhao Guangming died.

Nothing was missed throughout the entire process.

Lin Xiaoyue only helped Zhao Guangming to cuff his hands and feet with handcuffs on metal frames at the beginning.

And this request was also made by Zhao Guangming himself, asking Lin Xiaoyue to cuff him.

Then there is the movement process of two people.

Lin Xiaoyue always followed Zhao Guangming's requirements to please him.

Just like Lin Xiaoyue said, she just ignored her and didn't call the police.

And no crime was committed.

Now, the entire death process of Zhao Guangming is clear.

Now, the most important thing is to find out who tampered with the collapsed stool legs.

Judgment and analysis from the cause of Zhao Guangming's death.

The direct cause of Zhao Guangming's death was suffocation, but the cause of his suffocation was the breakage of the leg of the soft stool.

The murderer must have done it deliberately by searing the stool legs at high temperatures.

First of all, this person is very aware of Zhao Guangming’s lewdness at Youman Gym every Monday and Wednesday.

Otherwise, the murderer would not have tampered with the stool legs in the No. 1 women's locker room.

Second, this person should have regular access to the No. 1 women’s locker room.

It is a long-term process to bake the soft stool legs at high temperatures and destroy the wooden fibers of the stool legs.

Otherwise, carbonization will appear on the surface of the stool legs, which will be easily discovered.

So, who are the people who can satisfy the above two conditions at the same time?

Tian Rong and Tian Min do not have such conditions.

According to the information given by Tian Rong, although the two people knew some things about Zhao Guangming in the WeChat group, they were not very clear about it.

They only knew that Zhao Guangming was playing with women outside, but they didn't know exactly where Zhao Guangming was playing or who he was playing with.

Is there any possibility that people around Zhao Guangming know about it?

Chen Yan is not sure about this.

However, Chen Yan believes that there is a high probability that he does not know.

Preliminary investigation found that Zhao Guangming has a very good reputation in the company.

The relationship between Zhao Guangming and Tian Min is well-known in Guangming Ocean Shipping Company.

Being close is disrespectful.

Zhao Guangming, a person who pays great attention to his image, should not let people around him know about his dirty tricks with women.

Except for the seven female fitness instructors at the gym and the manager Lin Xiaoyue, Zhao Guangming always seeks excitement through auctions in the WeChat group.

Moreover, when he goes out to play, he always drives by himself.

So, it's neither Tian Rong, nor Tian Min, nor the people around him most likely.

The remaining people are ready to leave.

The seven fitness coaches in the gym, and Lin Xiaoyue!

Only these eight people knew everything about Zhao Guangming coming to the gym every Monday and Wednesday.

According to Lin Xiaoyue’s explanation

Every time Zhao Guangming comes to the gym, he doesn't always use a metal frame to play.

In offices, locker rooms, restrooms, and even on exercise equipment.

He plays both.

Sometimes, when there are guests, he will look for opportunities to cheat.

"This pervert, he even put things in Zhang Zimeng and their bodies while they were working out!"

"You want to know why I watched Zhao Guangming die instead of saving him?"

When Chen Yan asked Lin Xiaoyue why she refused to save Zhao Guangming, this is what Lin Xiaoyue said.

"Because I've had enough!"

"Zhao Guangming is a pervert. He has never regarded us as human beings."

"But he was very generous. I stayed with him for two years and made 5 million from him."

"five million!"

“With this money, I can start over wherever I go.”

"But while Zhao Guangming is alive, I don't dare to leave, and I can't leave."

"Zhao Guangming once said that we can leave only when he gets tired of playing. Otherwise, the video of us together will be released."

"Woooooooo..."

Lin Xiaoyue's sobs were accompanied by a relieved smile.

"Tell me, why should I save him?"

"Only if he dies can I be free!"

"I am only 27 years old this year..."

Leave the interrogation room.

Chen Yan let out a long breath.

Lin Xiaoyue has her own choice.

No one could blame her for not saving her life.

Just like Tian Min, who feeds Zhao Guangming peach kernel powder all year round.

Although that thing is poisonous, it is also rich in vitamins.

Regarding this matter, Tian Min's answer was that Zhao Guangming liked to eat it.

She just followed Zhao Guangming's request and made him a cup every day.

"Investigate the seven female fitness instructors at Youman Gym immediately!"

eight pm.

Wang Gang, who was responsible for investigating the surveillance video of Youman Gym, finally returned.

"Captain Chen, we have some findings here!"

In the meeting room, Wang Gang began to report the results of the investigation of the surveillance video.

"At 11:50 on the day of the incident, the staff and guests of the gym left."

"At 12:15, we saw Zhao Guangming enter the gym."

"However, there was no record of people entering and leaving the gym until Zhang Zimeng entered the gym in the morning."

Chen Yan nodded.

This is consistent with the information Lin Xiaoyue explained.

On the night of the incident, Lin Xiaoyue stayed in the gym.

After Zhao Guangming's death, she left the scene, but did not leave the gym. Instead, she rested in her office for a night.

"Afterwards, I compared and analyzed the surveillance videos of the gym within two months according to your request."

On the projection, a series of video screenshots appeared.

"As a result, we found that there was a person who came to the gym early every day to work from a month ago."

Chen Yan leaned forward and looked at the woman on the projection screen.

"Zhang Zimeng?"

"Yes, that's Zhang Zimeng."

"Starting from a month ago, Zhang Zimeng basically came to the gym an hour or half an hour earlier every day."

"The video data in the gym is kept for three months. We investigated the video data of the previous two months and found that Zhang Zimeng suddenly started to work early a month ago."

"In the first two months, Zhang Zimeng rarely came to work on time, not to mention early. Sometimes she would not come to work until the afternoon."

"Also, everyone should pay attention. In the first two months, Zhang Zimeng usually carried a small shoulder bag when she went to work, and it was basically different every day."

"But starting from a month ago, she started to carry a large canvas bag backpack."

On the projection, the video screenshot was enlarged, and it was a canvas backpack.

"And it hasn't been changed for a month!"

Wang Gang's investigation was very detailed: "After discovering this detail, we investigated Zhang Zimeng's shopping records for the past three months."

"Captain Chen, a month ago, Zhang Zimeng bought a high-temperature spray gun and aluminum foil and other items on the Internet."

"So, I suspect that Zhang Zimeng is the one who tampered with the soft stool legs in the No. 1 women's locker room!"

An hour later

Chen Yan met Zhang Zimeng again in the No. 1 interrogation room.

"Officer Chen, I have explained everything about yesterday's report. Why did you call me here again?"

Compared to yesterday, Zhang Zimeng looked much better today.

Because Zhao Guangming died in Youman Gym.

So, the gym has been closed and has not been open yet.

After cooperating with the detective to take notes yesterday, Zhang Zimeng has been resting at home.

And now it is 10:30 pm.

"Zhang Zimeng, we already know about the relationship between Zhao Guangming and you guys."

Know?

Zhang Zimeng's face suddenly turned pale.

Hands trembled uncontrollably.

Eye circles also turned red.

After a while, tears flowed like broken beads.

"Zhao Guangming... is just a beast!"

"He never treated us as human beings."

"The person who accompanied him last night was Lin Xiaoyue, the manager of our gym."

"But when I found Zhao Guangming dead in the morning, I didn't see Lin Xiaoyue."

"I have told you everything I know about Zhao Guangming's death, but you have to ask Lin Xiaoyue about the specific process. She was with Zhao Guangming that night."

"She must know how Zhao Guangming died!"

"Zhang Zimeng, we have found Lin Xiaoyue. It was through her that we knew about Zhao Guangming's relationship with you."

Chen Yan pushed some surveillance video photos of the gym entrance intercepted by Wang Gang in front of Zhang Zimeng.

"I asked you to come here to verify with you. Why did you always go to the gym half an hour to an hour earlier in the past month?"

"This... I said this when I was taking notes yesterday."

Zhang Zimeng's expression was slightly startled, and her eyes were a little evasive.

She didn't expect that Chen Yan was asking about this.

"I go to the gym early recently, mainly because I brought two members to work out in the morning."

"Going early is to do some preparation for fitness teaching."

Preparation work?

"Zhang Zimeng," Chen Yan frowned, "I hope you can tell the truth and try to get leniency."

"We can invite you here because we have certain evidence."

"If you ask me to tell you, the nature is different."

Chen Yan, who is proficient in micro-expression analysis, easily saw that Zhang Zimeng was lying just now.

When Zhang Zimeng said that he was preparing for fitness teaching, his eyes kept dodging left and right, and his hands were twisted together, unconscious movements.

The performance of lying was very obvious.

"I...I really am preparing for fitness teaching."

"If you can't, you can check my gym membership files. There are two people who go to the gym as soon as the door opens in the morning."

Chen Yan shook his head and looked at Zhang Zimeng carefully.

"Zhang Zimeng, the photo in front of you is a screenshot of the video taken by the surveillance video at the door when you entered and exited the gym in the past month."

"You carry the same canvas backpack every day."

"What's in it, I think you know better than us."

When Chen Yan mentioned the rucksack, Zhang Zimeng's face turned even paler.

"We compared the surveillance records of your entry and exit from the gym two months ago."

Chen Yan once again pushed several photos in front of Zhang Zimeng: "Two months ago, you would change a backpack every day, with different styles and colors, and they were all small satchels. You had never carried a rucksack."

"And we checked your online shopping records. You bought a high-temperature spray gun online a month ago."

"Zhang Zimeng, can you explain why, as a fitness instructor, you want to buy a high-temperature spray gun?"

"The main direct cause of Zhao Guangming's death was mechanical asphyxia."

"However, the root cause of his death from suffocation was that the leg of the couch he was standing on suddenly broke."

"Zhang Zimeng, do you think we won't be able to discover Zhao Guangming's accidental death by roasting the squishy stool legs at high temperatures?"

"You are the only eight people who know what happened to Zhao Guangming in the gym."

"The other seven people have not had time to commit crimes alone in the past month or two. Only you came to the gym half an hour to an hour early every day."

"So, you still won't explain it now?"

Listening to Chen Yan's every word, Zhang Zimeng's body was trembling.

His face was even more pale and bloodless.

However, Zhang Zimeng never admitted it.

"I...I bought a high-temperature spray gun online."

"But I didn't grill the stool legs with it."

"I usually cook at home, and I bought that high-temperature spray gun just to roast pig's trotters."

"There's also that canvas bag. I just like to carry it on my back these days. What's in it are the cosmetics I usually use."

"Officer Chen, I really didn't do anything to the stool legs."

"Did anyone see it?"

"You can't accuse me wrongly!"

Zhang Zimeng's expression gradually became calmer from the panic at first.

He no longer speaks loudly, but becomes more and more fluent.

Chen Yan leaned back on the chair and looked at Zhang Zimeng quietly.

In fact, Zhang Zimeng is right.

No one saw Zhang Zimeng using a high-temperature spray gun to roast the limp stool legs in the No. 1 women's locker room.

Chen Yan even suspected that even if someone saw it, such as Lin Xiaoyue, they wouldn't say anything.

No one saw it, so it was impossible for Chen Yan to rely on a surveillance video or a purchase record to determine that Zhang Zimeng was the person who tampered with the stool legs.

As Zhang Zimeng said, she bought a high-temperature spray gun for cooking and roasting pig trotters at home.

Everyone knows that Zhang Zimeng cannot roast pig trotters.

However, there is no direct evidence!

Zhang Zimeng obviously knew this.

In the process of answering statements and interrogations, I became more and more proficient.

"Officer Chen, since you know the relationship between Zhao Guangming and us, you should know how he treats us."

"On the day of the incident, it was Lin Xiaoyue who accompanied Zhao Guangming."

"According to what you said, Zhao Guangming died of suffocation, and Lin Xiaoyue was at the scene at the time."

"That metal frame, I also know that Zhao Guangming used it to play tricks on all of us."

"Every time Zhao Guangming uses it, he holds the remote control himself."

"But when I found him dead yesterday, I saw the remote control on the ground, right next to his feet."

"Lin Xiaoyue must have been at the scene when Zhao Guangming was suffocated. All she had to do was press the remote control switch."

"Zhao Guangming will not die."

"But...Lin Xiaoyue obviously did not save Zhao Guangming."

Zhang Zimeng's expression was already very calm, and she leaned forward slightly, staring into Chen Yan's eyes: "Officer Chen, do you know why Lin Xiaoyue refused to save her at that time?"

Chen Yan frowned.

"Because, if I were at the scene, I wouldn't save him!"

"Officer Chen, it's not our fault."

"Because you have no idea how Zhao Guangming plays with us."

"In his eyes, we are not human beings at all, just playthings."

"He would even take his dog and let us and..."

"We stayed with him for the money, but in the end we couldn't leave freely!"

"Zhao Guangming threatened us with our videos. He said he would only let us go when he got tired of playing."

"But we can't stand him anymore."

"We are humans, not animals!"

"Until he dies, we will not have freedom."

"Officer Chen, I think I am already very kind. Otherwise, if you were me, would you kill him?"
