Chapter 1929 Shocking! He was at the scene of the explosion!
"Good question, Captain Guo!"
Upon hearing Guo Qian's question, Li Xiangnan immediately took out a magnifying glass from the bag hanging behind the door and handed it over. "Captain Guo, take a look at the edge of this stain, the outermost ring. Doesn't it have extremely fine, shiny crystalline texture?"
A group of people quickly gathered around, and followed Guo Qian as he looked down at the photo, his eyes wide as he looked at the details Li Xiangnan had mentioned.
After observing for a while, everyone frowned slightly.
Guo Qian changed the magnifying glass to observe from several different angles, and finally nodded slowly: "Advisor Li, there is indeed a little bit... but it's very faint, and it's a bit reflective!"
"Hey, Xiao Liu's candid photo has a great angle!" Wang Defa clicked his tongue.
"This is a trace amount of ammonium nitrate crystal residue!" Li Xiangnan's voice was firm and resolute.
Guo Qian was taken aback, and Wei Jingfei, Wang Defa, and the others around him also frowned, beginning to ponder the significance of his conclusion.
"After the bombing at the Mu family's house, Lao Wang from the city bureau's technical department and forensic trace examination department repeatedly analyzed the scene! I also emphasized that Lao Wang should pay special attention to the residual dust at the scene! Captain Guo, Lao Wang had previously confirmed that the main component of these explosives was a low-quality ANFO explosive made of ammonium nitrate mixed with diesel fuel, and there were also small amounts of sulfur and sawdust as filler and combustion aids!"
"Yes, yes, yes! That's exactly what happened!" Guo Qian immediately confirmed his conclusion. "You mean..."
"These proportions were hard to find on the black market at the time, but they were common as structural components of explosives! However, the slight differences in proportions and impurities between different manufacturers were even greater! Not to mention, if you were making it yourself, the differences would be even more significant!"
Everyone responded with an "oh," but their brows remained furrowed.
After a pause, Li Xiangnan continued to deliver his words that resonated deeply with everyone.
“Last time I went to the Municipal Public Security Bureau with my grandfather to identify the body, I talked to Lao Wang about the progress of the Mu family bombing case. He told me that among some of the fine particles extracted from the scene, there was a clay mineral impurity that is not commonly found locally! He suspects that it was brought in by the raw ore during the manufacturing process of the explosives! Or it may have been accidentally picked up in the manufacturing environment! The trace element characteristics of this clay are on file in the technical department!”
Guo Qian looked up abruptly, surprised, and asked, "Advisor Li, you went to the Municipal Bureau this morning?"
“Yes!” Li Xiangnan nodded: “After seeing this photo this morning, I had some doubts, so I went to the Municipal Bureau before Xiao Xitang woke up! I found the original archive in the technical department and even had Lao Wang confirm it with a microscope!”
At this point, he held the photo up to face everyone and said, word by word, "We have conducted a preliminary analysis of the fabric fragments that Xiaoliu managed to cut from Yuanda's sleeve, and determined its composition by using the trace amounts of residue that are barely visible to the naked eye that were scraped off it!"
"Fuck!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Defa jumped up in surprise.
Li Xiangnan looked at everyone and calmly stated his conclusion: "It closely matches the characteristics of the residue from the Mu family bombing, especially the special clay impurities! These things are very stubborn on clothing and cannot be washed off by hand!"
"call!"
"..."
"hiss!"
This time, no one gasped.
Because extreme horror had gripped everyone's throat.
Wang Defa's "Damn it!" was still on his lips, but he couldn't utter it!
Song Ziming's hands were trembling. He had finally found another clue, and it was an unexpected surprise!
Guo Qian, holding the magnifying glass, took the photo and froze on the spot, cold sweat beading on his forehead, but his eyes were filled with wild joy.
The Mu family bombing!
That explosion that swallowed up the Mu family's water tower, buried Mu Zelin, and whose midnight fire shook the entire Yanjing!
Everyone in Yanjing, from top to bottom, had their eyes fixed on this place!
Guo Qian is under immense pressure.
As time went on, progress was minimal, the case reached a stalemate, and he was on tenterhooks every day!
But now, evidence of that explosion remains on Yuanda's sleeve!
"Distance is certainly not a problem!"
The silence in the room continued, but Li Xiangnan's words did not stop.
"The explosion at the Mu family's residence was extremely powerful. The water tower, where the explosion occurred, was located at a relatively high altitude, so the shockwave and projectiles spread out in a spherical pattern!"
Li Xiangnan placed the photos of the Mu family ruins and the map of Pudu Temple side by side, saying, "Pudu Temple is only one alley away from the Mu family ruins. The shortest straight-line distance is only three meters wide, and even the furthest other courtyard is only a hundred meters away! This is well within the range of high-speed debris and dust!"
indeed!
Everyone can understand this!
The water tower exploded at a high altitude. The higher the tower was above the ground, the fewer buildings there were to block the shockwave, and the farther it would travel!
"More importantly!"
Li Xiangnan's words made everyone look at him again, their breaths catching in their throats.
"The stain on Yuanda's cuff is on the outer back of the forearm of the right sleeve of his monk's robe! Have you ever wondered how this happened?"
Wei Jingfei opened his mouth, his face filled with astonishment, and said, "He...he, he..."
He hesitated for a long time, but in the end, he still couldn't say anything, and could only recall the scene at that time.
Guo Qian and the police officers around him were having a brainstorming session, but at this moment it was as if their brains had crashed, and their thinking had been frozen by Li Xiangnan's series of shocks.
"Advisor Li, please tell us, please help us answer this!" Guo Qian couldn't contain his shock.
Li Xiangnan put on his coat, made a similar gesture, and then looked at everyone to signal them to pay attention.
"Do you think he... when the explosion occurred, he was raising his right arm, afraid of being hit by the shockwave? Did he make a movement to cover his face or instinctively dodge? And was hit by flying debris from the side and rear! This direction of movement, combined with the relative positions of the Pudu Temple backyard and the Mu family's water tower..."
He pointed to the map of Pudu Temple on the table.
The voice was so cold it sounded as if the person in the video had witnessed it firsthand.
"I am more inclined to believe that an unforeseen event may have occurred, which prevented Yuanda from observing from a safe location within the temple!"
Wang Defa exclaimed in horror, "Where is he? Could it be...?"
He seemed to realize something, and his face turned pale and then flushed.
“Perhaps,” Li Xiangnan pointed sharply at the photo of the Mu family ruins, his fingers like swords, “he was near the explosion site, or even… he was within the area where the blasting took place!”
boom!
These words shocked everyone present!
Everyone was caught off guard by this sudden conclusion!
No one could have imagined that the more they investigated a deserted temple outside the city, the more clues they would uncover…
Even at this moment, things took an unexpected turn, and the clues to the Mu family bombing case, which seemed impossible to solve, were suddenly revealed!
And these connections were perfected through Li Xiangnan's meticulous logical chain of analysis!
Yuanda!
He was at the scene of the bombing!
The room was deathly silent; everyone's breath seemed to freeze at that moment...
