Chapter 860 - 798: It’s Him
"Could it be that he changed the tires? He borrowed his uncle’s motorcycle, but does his uncle usually ride it? Maybe the tires were changed?"
Wu Junhao was still very concerned about the suspect, Li Jiansheng. His mother’s behavior also wasn’t typical of an ordinary elderly woman.
Wang Chuanxing, who knew more about the situation, came over and said, "Li Jiansheng’s uncle only rides the motorcycle occasionally, going out once every one or two months. But the tires were changed before last year at a repair shop nearby their home, and we have already gone to ask the owner about it. So, unless the criminal himself changed the tires, it is highly unlikely that this motorcycle was involved in the crime."
"There’s no need to borrow a vehicle for committing crimes," Liu Jinghui said. "A motorcycle is not a car; there are many ways to disguise its origin without resorting to borrowing one. Borrowed vehicles are also harder to modify in appearance. Moreover, the criminal didn’t seem to take much care of the motorcycle during the crime, casually abandoning it by the roadside and even going off-road without worrying about scratching the paint. This doesn’t fit the logic of borrowing."
Beside him, Liu Wenkai said, "You could stand up and pedal a borrowed bike, but you can’t afford to damage the seat, as it would easily upset the owner."
Liu Jinghui gave Liu Wenkai a serious look, then continued, "It’s more or less the same logic. After all, the price of a motorcycle compared to Li Jiansheng’s income isn’t high. If he were using it for committing crimes, he wouldn’t borrow it at the same fixed times over three consecutive years."
This last reason was more convincing. Wu Junhao nodded too; the criminal might not have thought about the need to refuel, but the concept of a crime-time is well ingrained in people’s minds. Many innocent cases are confirmed because of "not having the time to commit a crime." Logically, a criminal would not borrow the same person’s vehicle every time he commits a crime, even if it’s his uncle’s, as it is unnecessary.
Buying his own vehicle and using it only when committing crimes would be the most suitable plan.
