Chapter [-] The Mystery of Falling from a Building

1. Witness jumping from a building

He suddenly received a message: "After careful consideration, I have decided to help you. Please meet at the old place." After reading the message, he was ecstatic, and tears filled his eyes. After years of long and difficult waiting, hope finally came. Just like a blind man hoping for light in the end, his hands couldn't help but tremble, and he tried his best to stop the trembling hands, but in vain.

There is a Niujiao Mountain on the outskirts of the city. There is a towering cliff on the mountain. There is a resort at the bottom of the cliff called Jingya Resort. Although this resort has few customers and is inaccessible, it is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city and is popular with many literati who like peace and quiet. Favor, the boss is the secretary-general of the Municipal Calligraphy Association, and he has good connections. Although he doesn't have many customers, he still manages the business well and has a slight surplus.

Before he walked into a guest room in Jingya, he lightly knocked on the door with his fingers. A slightly hoarse voice came from the door: "Please come in!"

He pushed open the heavy wooden door and walked in. He saw an old man sitting next to the root-carved tea table, slowly drinking tea. He closed the door and locked it. Then he turned around, walked to the old man, knelt down in front of him, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, thank you!"

"How many times have I told you, don't call me prince. This is not a feudal society. Where does the prince come from? Get up."

"In my mind, you are simply an emperor, no, a god! I still call you prince." He stood up as he spoke, standing beside the old man with his hands hanging down, like a loyal slave ready to serve his master at any time.

"Sit down, you're making me uncomfortable standing."

He sat obediently on the blackened hardwood pier, but only sat halfway up his buttocks, erecting his upper body, waiting for the old man's teachings. Seeing that the old man had finished drinking the tea in the purple clay cup, he quickly refilled it for him.

"Have you really made up your mind?"

"I thought about it ten years ago. As the days go by, this idea has been deeply rooted in my heart and grown into a towering tree. Unless life disappears, it cannot be uprooted!"

"There is no perfect murder in the world, and of course there are many unsolvable death cases, such as cases with high IQs. The American movie "How to Get Away with Murder" is a classic case, because the police are not gods, and their knowledge cannot be like an encyclopedia. He is very knowledgeable, so there are still opportunities to exploit, such as having perfect alibi, accidental death, illness and death, etc., which are the biggest headaches for the police."

"I believe that the prince's IQ exceeds that of any policeman."

"This is impossible. Tigers are afraid of monkeys. No matter how high my IQ is, it is impossible to be higher than the 190 million police officers. What's more, they have high-end science and technology. So, I want to ask how strong your desire is."

"It's so strong that it's indescribable. If I don't take this revenge, I will have trouble sleeping and eating, and my life will be worse than death!"

"Even at the risk of being shot?"

"Yes!" He nodded firmly.

Yangtze City is a coastal city located in the southeast of my country. It is a metropolis with a population of nearly [-] million. The sunshine here in summer is very long and it is extremely hot. It is known as one of the four big fire cages in China. However, due to the sea breeze at night, it is relatively cool. Therefore, citizens were unwilling to hide at home and enjoy the air conditioning, and ran out of their houses to enjoy the cool breeze at the beach, bridges, and rooftops.

Jinshan Community is a small high-end residential area. It is located at the junction of the city and the suburbs. It is only a dozen kilometers away from the seaside and relatively close to national highways and expressways. It is favored by some home buyers. However, not long after the community was developed, some residents did not move in. This makes the community more peaceful, tidy and beautiful.

The community is built in separate buildings, with a total of 108 buildings. The developer may have been inspired by the 108 generals in "Water Margin", so with this number, each house has a total of 8 units, 4 stairs, and a total of 8 floors. The space is 30 meters apart and has good lighting.

Jiang Ru is a retired state cadre. He bought a small unit with two bedrooms and one living room in the community last year. It is located in Block A on the 8th floor of Building 8. His son is doing business in Australia. When he bought a house, his son suggested that he buy a house with five floors or less. But Jiang Ru insisted on buying the top floor. He had his own plans: first, he could exercise by climbing the stairs; second, he could plant some flowers and plants on the rooftop; third, he could set up a small tea room on the roof to enjoy the sea breeze and tea. It's fragrant, and you can also enjoy the night view. Jinshan Community is located on the mountainside of Jinshan Mountain, and most of the city's scenery is visible.

On the evening of June 2013, 6, Jiang Ru asked his friend Liang Xiaoping to come to the rooftop of his home to make tea. The two have been close friends for many years and like fishing and making tea. They usually fish in Pingkeng Reservoir during the day and come to Jiang Ru's house to make tea in the evening.The moonlight was particularly good that day, and the wind was particularly cool. The colorful neon lights illuminated the city as if it were daytime. They had not enjoyed the bright moonlight and breeze for a long time. They slowly tasted the fine Dahongpao and recounted their childhood memories. , it was late at night before I knew it.Just as they were about to go home and sleep, they suddenly heard a cry: "God, why can't you tolerate me..." They looked into the distance and saw a man wearing a white sportswear standing on the rooftop of the fifth building. On the guardrail, hands were raised high, grabbing the night sky. The man was about 15 meters away from them, with his back to them, and his face could not be seen clearly. The man seemed drunk and was waving his hands randomly. They were very Worried that he would fall, and if he did, he would definitely die... Suddenly, the man kicked his feet, threw forward with both hands, and jumped off the building...

The two of them suddenly stood up and ran downstairs. Jiang Ru fell down when he went downstairs and his knee was bleeding. But regardless of the pain, he got up and ran to Building 5. When the two of them ran there out of breath, , saw seven or eight people gathered around and talking, they stepped forward to pull away from the crowd and saw that the person who jumped from the building fell face down on the hard cement floor, covered in blood, his head split open, white brains mixed with blood splattered all over the floor , exuding the fishy smell of brain matter, and looked very scary... Jiang Ru was bolder. He squatted down and pressed his hand on his carotid artery, testing it, but there was no reaction.Jiang Ru shook his head and quickly took out his mobile phone to dial 120 and 110. Someone told him to stop calling. They had already called two or three times.

The 120 bus arrived quickly. The doctor took out his stethoscope and listened for a while. Then he opened the deceased's eyes and shined a strong flashlight on his eyes. He saw that the deceased's pupils had dilated and said, "It's hopeless. Wait for the police to deal with it." Well, please every bystander present not to turn over the body of the deceased, so as not to damage the scene."

Jiang Ru was a little disgusted with the doctor's statement, as if the deceased had been murdered.

The police from Jiangbei Branch arrived and saw the deceased. The leading police officer was named Guo Chuan. He ordered three of his subordinates to investigate the scene and asked the onlookers what was going on?Everyone said they didn't know. They all ran out of the house to see after hearing a loud noise.Some people were only wearing pajamas or shorts, which showed that they were awakened by the noise in their sleep.

Guo Chuan asked who would know the deceased?A middle-aged man said: "His name is Li Huan, he is the general manager of Xingkong Furniture Company. He lives on the 5th floor of Building 8A, and I live on the 5th floor of Building 7A."

"Do you know how he died?"

"I don't know. I heard the noise and went downstairs to take a look."

"Does anyone know how the deceased fell from the building?" Guo Chuan asked.

"I know, I saw him jump off the building with my own eyes." Jiang Ru walked up to Guo Chuan and said.

"Oh, who are you? What's your name?"

"My name is Jiang Ru, and I am a resident of Block A on the 8th floor of Building 8. At that time, my friend Liang Xiaoping and I were making tea on the rooftop of Building 8. When we were about to go home and sleep, we suddenly heard the deceased standing on the guardrail of the rooftop of Building 5 and shouting loudly. , in less than half a minute, he jumped off the building with one kick."

"Was there anyone suspicious around him at the time?"

"No, absolutely not. The lights in the community are very bright, and the moon in the sky is also very bright. Liang Xiaoping and I can see it very clearly."

"So the deceased committed suicide?"

"Definitely!" Jiang Ru and Liang Xiaoping said in unison.

Guo Chuan asked Jiang Ru and Liang Xiaoping to go back to the branch with him to record a statement. They got into a police car and went to the Jiangbei branch to record a statement.After the two of them came out of the branch after recording their confessions, it was already two o'clock in the morning. Jiang Ru sighed deeply and said: "Oh, how could this Li Huan let go of his life of wealth and wealth and choose to commit suicide? We were unable to sleep in the middle of the night. "

2. Confirm suicide
That night, Guo Chuan called the corpse truck from the crematorium to transport Li Huan's body to the funeral home. He was going to freeze the body and wait for his family to claim it. Guo Chuan ran to the 5th floor of Building 8 A and knocked on the door, but there was no response. Maybe Li Huan's family members are not at home.If the family requests an autopsy, the team's forensic doctor will accept the request. Guo Chuan found an Apple 4S mobile phone and a Goldlion wallet from Li Huan's body. The wallet contained 1500 yuan in cash, five bank cards, ID cards, family photos and other items. .

The family photo shows Li Huan, his wife and their son. Judging from the age of the photo, it should have been taken within the past year. The son stands between Li Huan and his wife. The son is half a head taller than Li Huan, like a student who has just graduated from college.

Guo Chuan checked the address book on Li Huan's phone and found the number with the word "wife" written on it. Guo Chuan looked at his watch and saw that it was already three o'clock in the morning. He hesitated for a while. He was most afraid of making such a call. For Li Huan's wife, this phone call was equivalent to sending her a death notice of her husband. But sooner or later, Li Huan's wife would have to bear the separation of life and death. It would be better to know sooner rather than later. He pressed the dial button on Li Huan's mobile phone. The call went through, but the phone rang. No one answered for a long time, so he dialed again. After six rings, he heard the other party complaining sleepily: "Husband, why are you still harassing me so late? Have you forgotten that I woke up?" Will you suffer from insomnia?”
