Chapter Sixteen: Becoming Famous

  Ni Qiu didn't disappoint as a palace staff, swiftly opening the door. The two of them slipped past the police cordon and entered the murder scene. Li Fu pulled up the curtains, making it dark inside. Li Fu skillfully took out a pair of glasses and put them on, then took out a glowing rod. Now even Ni Qiu felt strange. He didn't know what these glasses were called, but he knew that with this rod, they could see bloodstains. This guy was well-prepared.

  The scene depicted the deceased's death pose, Li Fu looked around with some puzzlement. Then he began to move around the whole house. Ni Qiu said: "Hurry up, Yu Ming that kid will drag on, but can't drag on for so long."

  "There's a problem with the scene, the knife pierced the body, flesh burst open, and there will be a small amount of blood spraying out at high speed. But there is none near the deceased." Li Fu searched around while walking, but found nothing in the small room. He looked left and right, searching along the wall, then exclaimed excitedly: "Nian Qiu, take a picture!"

  "What?" Nian Qiu walked closer and found a faint blue light at the window display position, so he took a photo.

  "Pull open the curtains."

  What makes you order me around? Ni Qiu pulled open the curtains, very dissatisfied. Li Fu took out a small plastic bag from his suit pocket and then scraped some things off the wall into the bag. "Is that enough?" Ni Qiu asked.

  "Let's go."

  Two people went downstairs and took a careful look. Yu Ming was surfing the internet with Auntie in the room. Li Fu said, "You underestimated Yu Ming's ability, if needed, 12 hours is not impossible."

  Three people got on the bus, Du Qingqing pressed the horn. Yu Ming said: "This way you can video chat with your daughter without using phone fees."

  "So I can see my daughter?"

  "Of course." Yu Mingdao said: "Auntie, I still have something to do, I'll leave first."

  "Okay, I'll leave it in my room, and we can still negotiate the price."

  "Thank you, Auntie. Goodbye, Auntie."

  "Slow down." Auntie Yu looked at Ming, what a kind-hearted person. From now on, someone will fix their water tap and electrical appliances for free.

  "How was it?" Yu Ming asked as he got on the car.

  Li Fu got on the car, and Du Qingqing asked him, but Li Fu didn't answer. After Yu Ming asked again, Li Fu said: "I already have some evidence to prove that this is a suicide case."

  "Suicide?" The other three were shocked.

  "Well, but I still want to crack the mystery of this rope. Give me some time. I have a few friends in the US who collect evidence at crime scenes. I'll consult with them."

  "Why would he commit suicide?"

  Li Fudao said: "I don't know what to say now. Miss Du, I think you can contact the family members of the suspects and let them find us to investigate this case."

  Du Qingqing asked: "Are you sure?"

  "I'm confident." Li Fu nodded very affirmatively.

  ……

  Two days later, a press conference was held in the multi-functional conference room of Du Shi International. The protagonists of the press conference were the parents of the suspect and the lawyer of the suspect. Li Fu and Du Qingqing attended.

  At first, there was a reporter who asked: "I heard that you have proposed the hypothesis that the deceased committed suicide. Is it true?"

  The father of the suspect said: "Yes, we entrusted Xingxing Business Investigation Company to conduct an investigation and found that this case is purely a trap."

  The reporter laughed and asked: "I don't quite understand, are you saying that a person was tied up and then stabbed in the back is suicide?"

  "Why don't I demonstrate it for everyone first?" Li Fu said.

  Li picked up a pen and said, "Suppose this is the fruit knife." He placed the fruit knife on the windowsill beside him. Then he took out a rope identical to the one at the crime scene and began to bind himself (the details of which are not described). Using his teeth and both hands, Li quickly bound himself in exactly the same way as the deceased at the scene. Next, Li walked up to the pen, turned around, and said with force, "The fruit knife pierced the heart, and the deceased used their last bit of strength to run forward. Finally, they collapsed and died four meters away. This is the entire truth behind the case. The deceased was desperate and intentionally created the crime scene in order to frame the suspect."

  "After reading it, the reporter asked: 'Is this Mr. Li Fu? I'd like to ask, do you have any evidence?'"

  Li Fuke pounded on the computer, and a photo was displayed on the big screen: "This is a high-speed, low-volume bloodstain at the window position. This position just happens to be where the fruit knife can be placed. The impact force of the human body is very large, and the handle of the fruit knife has created a small dent in the window position. I think the police may have overlooked this point. Another important piece of evidence, the suspect is 1.8 meters tall, and the deceased is 1.64 meters tall. No matter what angle the deceased used to stab the deceased, there will always be an angular deviation. According to the autopsy report provided by the lawyer, the fruit knife was stabbed horizontally into the back of the deceased. To achieve this effect, the suspect would have to hold the knife flat against his abdomen and then stab it in horizontally. You can try it out, it's very hard to exert force and control the balance at the same time. Note that the blade is horizontal with the ground. So, based on the current evidence, the deceased was rejected by the suspect and committed retaliatory suicide, and created a homicide scene."

  The reporter said: "It is also possible that the suspect put down the knife and let the deceased's back hit it."

  "According to the spirit of our country's law, in case of doubt, consider it not a crime. Based on the evidence provided by Starlight Investigation Company, we will defend our client as not guilty. I believe that the law is fair."

  Ní Qiū standing on one side said to Míng Dào: "Lǐ Fù has some real talent. However, isn't he a Ph.D. in computer science and mathematics?"

  "En." Yu Ming responded with one word.

  In the end, the police accepted the evidence provided by the Star Investigation Company and found that the handle of the knife had a substance similar to the exterior of the wardrobe, and multiple strands of rope were found with the deceased's DNA. In the end, the prosecution did not prosecute the suspect due to insufficient evidence. Most netizens accepted Li Fu's statement, while a small number of people were still entangled in how the deceased could have tied himself up.

  ……

  Liu Mang read the newspaper and slammed his fist on the table: "The salted fish has turned over."

  Wang Chao leaned in close to Liu Mang: "I heard that Mr. Du took a bottle of champagne to the Star Investigation Company."

  "That's for sure, the Star Survey Company is under the name of Du International." Liu Mang said: "Hand over that list to me and I'll add flowers to their brocade."

  The king's foot emitted a chill and asked: "Head, is that picture... won't it be too ruthless?"

  "Show no mercy to your opponent."

  There are people who are worth tens of millions, and Mr. Du is one of them. Mr. Du appeared with a bottle of champagne in hand, which made Du Qingqing feel honored. Secretary Xiao Hong brought several champagne glasses, and Mr. Du opened the champagne saying: "Li Fu, you've done a great job this time, very beautifully. This is not just about the company's reputation, but more importantly, you helped an ordinary person clear his name. Well done."

  "Thank you for Mr. Du's compliment." Li Fu raised his cup in a gesture.

  Damn it, these days in class were all about dressing up, without mentioning how to drink champagne. Yu Ming picked up the champagne and learned from Li Fu's gesture of raising his glass, took a sip, sour and unpleasant, not just ordinary bad taste. No wonder Schumacher took the champagne and sprayed people with it.
