Diary of a Criminal Investigator
Chapter 617: Song Jinfu’s Background
As for the judgment about the young male, it is partly based on the victim’s weight.
The victim has a slightly overweight build, weighing about seventy kilograms.
The killer was able to pin the victim against the wall in mid-air and fix his arms and ankles with a nail gun, indicating that the killer is very strong.
Generally speaking, female killers do not possess such strength.
On the other hand, when the killer stabbed, although his hand shook, and he was inexperienced, each knife wound was relatively strong.
From these knife wounds, it can be observed that the suspect’s wrist is quite powerful.
In most cases, the probability is higher for males.
Of course, Lu Chuan’s judgment is only a probability.
We cannot exclude individual cases where some females are physically strong and have a robust build.
The suspect could also inflict similar injuries.
The forensic doctor and the crime scene investigation team provided a detailed report on the situation of the scene and the body.
From the forensic point of view, the time and cause of death of the victim were quite clear.
From the body’s perspective, there weren’t many clues pointing to the suspect.
The crime scene investigation team found a few more clues.
Although the killer was extremely cunning, very cautious, and cleared up most of the traces, including the tire marks on the cement road.
However, the suspect still overlooked some details.
For example, Lu Chuan found sea sand on the mop.
Since no sea sand was found on the victim’s shoes, it indicates that this sea sand was not brought by the victim.
Moreover, the Bolidar Warehouse has been abandoned for a long time, so it naturally cannot have sea sand.
Therefore, this sea sand is highly likely to have been brought to the crime scene by the suspect.
Although these sea sands cannot yet pinpoint the specific information of the suspect, it is at least a direction for future investigations.
Additionally, Lu Chuan’s judgment regarding the suspect’s height, gender, and age is also very important.
Solving a case is about probabilities.
Although Lu Chuan’s conclusion is not very definitive, it is already a good start for a case with no leads.
After listening to the forensic doctor and the crime scene investigation team’s report, Qin Yong turned his attention to the action group.
The victim’s identity was confirmed at the first moment when the body was discovered.
"Zhang Hui, you investigated the victim’s relevant information yesterday. Let’s hear the situation."
Zhang Hui nodded and stood up.
He had his assistant link the projector to the action group’s computer and began the introduction.
"Song Jinfu, male, 45 years old, local of Haizhou City."
"Currently the legal representative of JF Catering Company."
"Operating a restaurant?"
Zhang Hui shook his head, "Song Jinfu’s JF Catering Company does not run a restaurant, but does pre-packaged meals."
"His catering company does not operate externally but is responsible for the distribution of lunch for all the primary schools in the city."
All primary schools in the city?
Everyone was quite surprised to hear this information.
Haizhou City has a large population base, with over 300 primary schools.
This catering company has monopolized the lunch supply for all primary schools in the city?
That’s... a big deal.
Zhang Hui was also shocked when he discovered this information during the investigation.
No one expected that this skinned Song Jinfu was a hidden bigwig.
It should be noted that the total number of primary school students in Haizhou City is about over fifty thousand.
What is the concept of fifty thousand?
These students must eat at school during lunch, and snacks are provided during breaks.
Even if JF Catering Company makes a profit of one yuan per meal per student, that would be 500,000 profit a day!
Five hundred thousand a day!
How much is that a year?
Zhang Hui continued the introduction.
"We conducted a detailed investigation of Song Jinfu’s interpersonal relationships."
"Early on, Song Jinfu was not in the catering business. Fifteen years ago, he was a driver for Experimental Primary School."
"Ten years ago, he transferred to the Education Bureau, still driving, and soon after resigned to start JF Catering Company."
"After that, this company grew bigger and bigger, starting with only business from Experimental Primary School, gradually expanding to the entire district."
"Five years ago, JF Catering Company officially monopolized the catering supply for all primary schools in the city!"
The crowd exchanged looks of admiration; this Song Jinfu is indeed a tough person.
Being able to rise from an ordinary primary school driver to this level is not easy, truly not easy.
"Everyone might be aware that the catering industry is highly competitive. Song Jinfu’s company has many potential competitors."
"And since JF Catering Company monopolized the catering supply for all primary schools in the city, it can be said to have cut off many other catering company’s financial avenues."
"Therefore, Song Jinfu has many business competitors."
"However, after yesterday’s preliminary investigation, we found very few had direct conflicts with JF Company."
"And Song Jinfu is generally low-key, rarely goes out for social gatherings."
"According to his family’s feedback, when Song Jinfu does go out, it is mostly with leaders from departments supervising them."
"Who was he with when he went missing the day before yesterday?"
"We conducted a detailed investigation into Song Jinfu’s whereabouts before he became a victim."
"At 8:00 am the day before yesterday, Song Jinfu left home on time to go to the company."
"His driver drove him, confirmed by both his driver and family."
"Song Jinfu arrived at the office at 8:45 am, but he didn’t stay long, put on his coat and left."
"His secretary even asked Song Jinfu if he needed a car, but Song Jinfu refused."
"We checked the surveillance at the entrance of JF Company; after leaving, Song Jinfu did not drive or take a taxi but walked into Spring Breeze Lane."
"After that, he never appeared again."
Around 9 am...
Song Jinfu left the company around 9 am, was murdered around 3 pm.
According to forensic doctor and crime scene investigation analysis, Song Jinfu was tortured for at least two hours during the murder.
Which means, the suspect should have kidnapped him between 9 am and 1 pm.
"Any other information?"
"Given our tight schedule, we have only discovered this basic information, but our team is continuing to follow up."
"Okay."
Qin Yong looked around, "Sun Jun, how’s the situation on your end?"
Sun Jun shook his head, "We’ve combed through the surrounding area of the warehouse but found no eyewitnesses."
"My team is now visiting Spring Breeze Lane where Song Jinfu disappeared."
"Alright."
Qin Yong took a deep breath, and fell silent for a while.
With a myriad of tasks in progress and very few leads, it’s no wonder Qin Yong feels immense pressure.
"Next, drafting the plan for the next stage’s work."
