Chapter 1518: Suicide? Homicide?

Sponsored

The action group was discussing Liu Anping’s death case.

At this moment, Liu Anping’s residence had been tightly secured, with no changes in the room’s layout.

Currently, all evidence pointed to Liu Anping’s death being a suicide, making it difficult to find evidence of homicide.

Although Ye Fan and the others believed that Liu Anping could not have committed suicide, without basis as a foundation, it seemed hard to proceed. The primary task now was to find evidence of Liu Anping’s homicide, rather than making random guesses.

"According to Liu Anping’s father Liu Qianjin, Liu Anping recently needed a large sum of money, constantly asking Liu Qianjin for money, and it’s unknown what Liu Anping needed the money for." Li Tong revealed what he had gotten from Liu Qianjin publicly, saying: "Liu Qianjin is usually busy with official duties and is not very aware of his son’s matters. Additionally, Liu Anping rarely returned home before his death and seldom met with Liu Qianjin, making Liu Qianjin’s understanding of his son’s situation even less."

Apparently, hoping to obtain more information from Liu Qianjin was impossible.

"The urgent matter is to determine whether Liu Anping committed suicide or was murdered?" Zhang Lu said solemnly: "We all can think that Liu Anping couldn’t have committed suicide. He just died right in front of us, which is too coincidental, enough to prove the enemy’s arrogance, as if challenging us. From indirect understanding, the possibility of Liu Anping’s suicide is almost zero, but frustratingly, there is currently no evidence supporting that Liu Anping was murdered."

"At the time of Liu Anping’s incident, there were no suspects in the entire building. It can be concluded that if there was a murderer, they were definitely not at the scene. So, how did the murderer kill?"

"Could it be that Liu Anping really committed suicide?"

There were too many things Zhang Lu didn’t understand, and these aspects needed solid evidence to back them up.

"If the murderer wasn’t at the scene, we can consider the possibility of a locked-room murder," Ye Fan said calmly.

"But how did the murderer commit the crime? Liu Anping’s room was just like that; how could a locked-room murder be accomplished?" Zhang Lu questioned, which was a common confusion.

"Many believe Liu Anping was murdered, but we can’t conclude it was murder based only on speculation. It requires sufficient evidence to support this idea. For now, we can’t unveil the truth behind Liu Anping’s death; once we solve this mystery, many things will be resolved," Ye Fan asserted firmly. "For now, we can only start with the existing evidence and obtain information beneficial to us."

"The existing evidence pointing to Liu Anping’s suicide is the suicide note found on the computer," Zhang Lu discussed in detail. "Moreover, two aspects of Liu Anping’s room are excessively strange: first, Liu Anping’s room is overly clean, unlike the typical appearance of a lazy single man’s dwelling; second, there is expired yogurt suitable for women to drink in Liu Anping’s room. Considering these two aspects, there should be a woman by Liu Anping’s side, and based on Zhao Gongming’s clues, it can be confirmed that Liu Anping had a girlfriend. Looking at it this way, this unknown woman might know something."

"I found it." At that moment, Niu Ben’s voice echoed, who had been searching for clues from the surveillance footage at Liu Anping’s residence. He had made a significant discovery and addressed everyone: "This woman named Hao Min is Liu Anping’s girlfriend; she saw Liu Anping two hours before the incident."

From the surveillance footage, it could be seen that Hao Min spent less than twenty minutes in Liu Anping’s room.

There was nothing strange about Hao Min visiting Liu Anping. However, what forced more thought was how soon after Hao Min left, Liu Anping had the incident, which seemed unusual.

"Start with Hao Min to see if some useful clues can be obtained." Ye Fan spoke, addressing Li Tong: "You handle this matter; be sure to learn about Hao Min’s history and background from the sidelines; don’t alert her, just conduct an investigation in secret."

Right after Li Tong left with a few people, Yang Yan came to report a message, saying: "Liu Anping’s autopsy report is out. Alcohol and sleeping pills were detected in his blood."

"That’s odd." Zhang Lu took the report for a look and said puzzled: "Alcohol is understandable. There are empty bottles of recently consumed alcohol and bottles with unfinished alcohol in Liu Anping’s room. But where did the sleeping pills come from? Could the murderer have drugged Liu Anping?"

"Perhaps, when Liu Anping died, he was in a disoriented state, even unconscious," Ye Fan said with certainty. "Liu Anping fell from the sky and died right before us, and we didn’t hear any sound. This is quite illogical; even if Liu Anping committed suicide, there would have been some noise. This only shows that Liu Anping hadn’t recovered consciousness when he died, still in a drowsy state."

"In this calculation, it seems like a painless death without suffering," Zhang Lu remarked.

As the investigation into Liu Anping’s death case proceeded, the evidence pointing to homicide still appeared insufficient based on the information gathered so far.

Merely finding sleeping pill composition in Liu Anping’s body is not enough to explain too much.

To obtain more evidence, further investigation is required.

The urgent matter now is to see if some clues can be gathered from Hao Min.

The investigation on Hao Min was already very clear, with nothing suspicious about her background.

Li Tong’s efficiency was high, and he quickly figured out information regarding Hao Min’s identity. Hao Min is currently engaged in the car sales service industry, indeed making her a capable elite talent.

Through Hao Min’s colleagues, it was learned that Hao Min has a strong sense of professionalism and is highly respected by her peers.

Li Tong used the excuse of handling Liu Anping’s affairs and gathering information regarding his situation to bring Hao Min to the action group, and she cooperated well without any resistance.

Regarding Liu Anping’s death, Hao Min was greatly affected, her mood quite low.

"Since Liu Anping lacked ambition, I broke up with him. I hadn’t expected something like this to happen; before his incident, I took my things with me. I don’t know about the subsequent matters." Hao Min was entirely uninformed, unaware of why Liu Anping died and how such a thing could have happened.

In the relationships between men and women, a breakup alone shouldn’t have led to suicide, she thought.

Regardless of how Liu Anping died, Hao Min felt extremely guilty.

"If there are any new discoveries, you can call my phone." Li Tong saw that Hao Min was losing control of her emotions and wasn’t able to ask anything, so after leaving a phone number, he could only send Hao Min out of the action group.
