Unbelievable! The Blond Rookie Is the Chief Detective - Chapter 14

Since the system showed her this girl, it means that the girl has a role in the case, but she is definitely not the murderer. The system never gives her a clear answer.

This is the system’s hint to her; as for who the girl is and what her role is, she needs to find out for herself.

Su Xiaoxiao deduced that since the girl was with Liu Jie, it was highly likely that she was connected to Guan Hongwei’s case.

However, according to her deduction today, Guan Hongwei had murderous intent when he learned that Wang Jue had betrayed him, and drugging himself was merely a means for him to escape punishment.

Furthermore, she deduced that he must have taken the drug just before committing the murder. He didn’t even know if the drug had taken effect when he killed the person, but he would definitely have made it appear as if it had.

When he was arrested by the police, he bit Zhang Jun. In the early stages of his arrest, he bit anyone he saw and showed signs of mental confusion. The police would then conduct a comprehensive physical examination to find drug residues in his body.

He concealed it very well. That evening, he parked his car near the Jiamao Building, where he ate noodles, bought drinks, and later had popcorn at the cinema.

All this trouble is probably to mislead the police and prevent them from finding out who administered the drug.

But if Guan Hongwei’s case ends here, then what role did Liu Jie and that girl play in this?

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that there was still one thing she couldn’t explain about Guan Hongwei’s self-directed murder.

That evening, an hour before the movie screening, Guan Hongwei parked his car at the Jiamao Building.

If he hadn’t stopped there, Wang Chen wouldn’t have seen him and wouldn’t have thought to slip him a note, and he couldn’t have foreseen that Wang Chen would slip him a note.

He must have known that Wang Jue and Chongzi would be watching a movie here that night, and he deliberately waited there. The fact that he was so well prepared meant that it was not a spur-of-the-moment decision.

Wang Chen’s note was just an accident; it conveniently provided another person to divert the police’s attention.

Ahhh, Su Xiaoxiao realized who the girl might be. It wasn’t Lin Yue, could it be Wang Jue? Wang Jue and Liu Jie were about the same age, maybe they knew each other when they were in school. Since the system gave her a hint, it meant that Liu Jie’s role in this was not as simple as she thought.

Seeing her suddenly stand up, Wan Yan asked, “Xiao Xiao, have you thought of something again?”

“I have indeed thought of something. Regarding Guan Hongwei’s case, the idea that he used drugs to get away with his crime is currently just speculation, and there is no concrete evidence, because there is one thing I haven’t fully figured out.”

“Which point?”

“If Guan Hongwei was determined to kill Wang Jue that night, the fact that he was waiting at Jiamou Building early on means that he already knew that Wang Jue and Chongzi would be there to watch a movie that night.”

“You think someone informed him beforehand, not Wang Chen, but someone else entirely.”

“That’s right. He went upstairs not long after receiving Wang Chen’s note. There wasn’t enough time for him to prepare, and he was obviously prepared before he came.”

Nowadays, people usually book movie tickets online in advance. We saw in the surveillance footage that Wang Jue picked up the ticket from the automatic ticket machine. We can check Wang Jue’s phone to see how far in advance she booked the ticket and whether it matches Guan Hongwei’s booking time.

If the ticket booking time was before Guan Hongwei’s car stopped at Jiamou Building, then it’s basically true that he knew in advance and deliberately waited there to confirm whether they were going to see a movie.

As for how he knew, there are two possibilities: one, someone told him; two, he may have installed a Trojan horse or tracking software on Wang Jue’s phone.

“We have reviewed the information on Wang Jue’s phone repeatedly. She has hardly contacted anyone in the past week, and there are no suspicious people in the chat history. Moreover, she blocked Guan Hongwei a few days ago. We saw on Guan Hongwei’s phone that he sent countless messages to Wang Jue, but none of them were sent. However, we did not find any similar software on Wang Jue’s phone.”

“Is it possible that someone installed this type of software on his phone, but it was deleted after the incident?”

“Impossible. After the incident, Wang Jue’s bag and phone were kept by the police as evidence. No one except the police has touched Wang Jue’s phone. You’re not saying there’s an accomplice among us police officers, are you? That’s impossible. I trust everyone in our team; they are people I can entrust my life to.” Ye Jiuzhou’s tone clearly carried some displeasure.

“Captain Ye, you’ve misunderstood. What I meant by deletion is remote deletion, which can be done without touching the phone.”

“That’s even more impossible. Guan Hongwei is just a taxi driver. How could he possibly have that skill? Besides, we’ve checked. He didn’t do well in school. His father had high hopes for him and spent a lot of money on his education, but he just wasn’t cut out for studying. No matter how much tutoring he received, it was no use. Now, his family doesn’t even have a computer. Only Wang Jue has a tablet.”

Jiang Qing picked up the conversation, saying that their groundwork was quite solid; after capturing Guan Hongwei, the first thing they did was investigate his basic information.

“Guan Hongwei doesn’t have the technology, but there is someone who might.”

“Who?” Jiang Qing asked curiously, wondering how Su Xiaoxiao knew more than they did.

“Liu Jie, I chatted with him while I was getting information from him today.”

Actually, she wasn’t just chatting with him casually; she deliberately led Liu Jie to talk a lot after seeing the video.

For example, where he studied in middle school, and what jobs he did after graduation.

This revealed that Liu Jie did not attend a regular high school after graduating from junior high school, but instead went to a vocational school to study electronics technology.

After graduation, he didn’t go to university. Instead, he went directly to the electronics market to set up a stall, repairing computers and selling spare parts.

They even asked him why he wasn’t married at his age, and after hearing that he didn’t have a girlfriend, they even offered to introduce him to one.

Xia then understood the purpose of Su Xiaoxiao’s conversation with Liu Jie. He had wondered why Su Xiaoxiao would talk to Liu Jie about such useless things.

He secretly thought to himself, “Isn’t this just a waste of time?”

It turns out he was the one who was useless; every word the other person said was useful. Now he’s starting to feel ashamed again.

“Even if Liu Jie was capable of doing these things, why would he tamper with Wang Jue’s phone?” Jiang Qing wondered.

Su Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief; they had finally gotten to this point.
