Serious Crime Unit 1

Chapter 163 Accidental Death (3)
"Hello, Captain Jiang! Hello!" Jiang Yiming recognized him at a glance. Zhou Ting didn't expect that his memory was so good. All worries disappeared. He stepped forward and hugged Jiang Yiming. The hug was subconscious. Like fans worshiping idols.

Jiang Yiming asked Zhou Ting to sit down and brought him pure water. Seeing Zhou Ting's solemn expression, he knew that he might have something important, so he asked Zhou Ting straight to the point.

Zhou Ting told the story of his father's accidental death in great detail. Jiang Yiming listened carefully and his mind started to work quickly, analyzing the meaning of Zhou Ting's every word.

Half an hour later, Zhou Ting finished speaking, tears welling up in his eyes. He said, "Captain Jiang, I think my father's accident was man-made. What do you think?"

"According to what you said, the possibility of artificiality is extremely low because there is no evidence to support your view."

"But my sixth sense told me it wasn't an accident."

"We cannot rely on intuition when handling cases. Of course, sometimes intuition will tell us whether something is true or false."

"I would like to ask Captain Jiang to send someone to the scene to have a look, so that I can rest assured, otherwise I will have a knot in my heart for the rest of my life." Zhou Ting wanted to ask Jiang Yiming to accompany him, but felt it was inappropriate, so he changed his mind.

"Well, I happen to be free, so I'll accompany you. It's not in accordance with the procedure to send out a large team of people. We'll go in plainclothes. If there is a problem, we won't alert the snake."

Zhou Ting was so moved that he suddenly stood up from the sofa and gave Jiang Yiming a neat and loud military salute: "On behalf of my father, I salute Captain Jiang!"

Jiang Yiming waved his hand and said, "It is our bounden duty to find out the truth."

The two came to Zhou Shan's death scene. Jiang Yiming observed the fall point carefully for a while and said to Zhou Ting: "The fall point conforms to the characteristics of an accident."

Zhou Ting also agrees with this. He has studied criminal investigation and there is a difference between the falling point of a natural fall and that of being pushed down.

Zhou Ting and Jiang Yiming came to the starting point of the fall on the seventh floor to check. Zhou Ting was slightly surprised when he saw that the pine board had been taken away at some point.Zhou Ting called Chi Yang and asked where he was?Chi Yang said he was doing business on Datong Street.Datong Street was very close to the construction site, so Zhou Ting asked Chi Yang to rush back to the construction site immediately.

After a while, Chi Yang drove the pickup truck back to the construction site. Zhou Ting waved for him to come up. Chi Yang nodded and crawled towards the seventh floor.Chi Yang panted and came to Zhou Ting and asked, "Xiao Ting'er, what's so urgent?"

"Where did the broken pine board go? Didn't I tell you not to touch anything on site?" Zhou Ting was very angry.

"No, Vice President Liu said that the ceiling should be capped quickly, otherwise the company would face fines for breach of contract. He asked us to re-erect the scaffolding boards and start construction immediately. So, I asked people to move the damn pine board away. Besides, Old It’s not auspicious to put it here. The workers will be frightened when they see the pine boards and dare not go upstairs to start work.”

Jiang Yiming asked: "Which worker moved that pine board? Where was it moved?"

Chi Yang saw a stranger asking him and replied: "Where are you from? Why do you care about our housework?" Chi Yang used to hang out with a group of gangsters on the street and developed an arrogant habit.

Zhou Ting glanced at Chi Yang: "This is my leader. He is here to observe the scene. Uncle must not be rude!"

When Chi Yang heard this, he realized that the other party was not easy to mess with. He had been arrested by the police countless times, and the consequences of offending the police were very serious.So he said, "I'm sorry, boss, I asked Ah Liu to move out."

"Go and call Ah Liu. I have something to ask him."

Chi Yang took out his mobile phone and called Ah Liu and asked him where the pine board had been moved.Ah Liu said that he threw him into the nearby moat.

Jiang Yiming asked Chi Yang to call Ah Liu and go to the moat together. Ah Liu was playing cards in the work tent. He reluctantly put down the cards in his hand and walked out. He got in the car with Jiang Yiming, Zhou Ting and Chi Yang and headed towards the moat. Drive away.

In a moment, they arrived at the moat. Ah Liu stood on the embankment, pointed at the river bank and said, "The two boards were thrown from here."

“Why throw pine boards into the river?”

"It was Brother Chi who asked me to get rid of the pine boards. Because this board was unlucky, I originally wanted to burn the pine boards, but I was afraid that the city management would see me and accuse me of polluting the air, so I loaded the pine boards into the car and drove the car. Go to the river and throw it away, let the bad luck flow away with the water, and let the bad luck never come back."

Why are Vice President Liu and Chi Yang eager to get rid of this pine board?Vice President Liu and Chi Yang's reasons are sufficient. Although they have entered the high-tech era, there are still many citizens who are taboo about unlucky things.Jiang Yiming asked: "Ah Liu, when did you throw the pine boards into the river?"

"Around 09:30 this morning."

"Are you sure?"

"Okay, I even looked at my watch at that time."

Jiang Yiming asked Chi Yang and Ah Liu to go back first and told them not to tell anything about today's events, otherwise they would be held legally responsible. They nodded quickly.

After the two of them walked away, Jiang Yiming visually measured the speed of the water, then used the calculator on his mobile phone to calculate for a while, and said to Chi Yang: "The pine board should be at the entrance of the bay 15 kilometers away."

Zhou Ting nodded and drove all the way to search, but the road and the moat were not parallel. Jiang Yiming asked Zhou Ting to drive the car to the Dongjiang Bridge and wait.

After arriving at the Dongjiang Bridge, they parked the car in the middle of the bridge, got off the car and stood at the bridge railing to observe. After observing for more than an hour, they did not see the pine board. Zhou Ting's eyes were sore and he was a little anxious. He remembered his father's There is a Canon SLR camera in the car. The camera is equipped with a 100cmg to 300cm zoom lens, which can be used as a telescope.

Zhou Ting opened the car door, took out his camera, and zoomed in on the river. Soon, a floating object appeared in the lens, drifting slowly towards the Dongjiang Bridge. Zhou Ting adjusted the focus of the lens to the top and saw that it was a wooden board, and the The shapes of the pine boards are very similar, but they are too far apart to be sure.Zhou Ting handed the camera to Jiang Yiming to look at. After Jiang Yiming read it, he smiled and nodded, and Zhou Ting put down the stone in his heart.

Zhou Ting hired a small fishing boat to intercept the floating objects in the river. When it slowly floated in front of them, they saw clearly that it was the pine board they wanted, but it was only half of it. The other half was unknown where. Zhou Ting Ting called Jiang Yiming who was waiting on the bridge and asked him what to do?Do you want to continue looking for your other half?

Jiang Yiming said it was going to be dark, so he should fish out this half first.

Zhou Ting pulled half of the pine plank from the turbid river water onto the boat, paid the fishermen, and then walked ashore with the wet plank. The plank was less than two meters long and could barely be put diagonally into the carriage. They were Back to the criminal police team, Jiang Yiming asked Zhou Ting to bring the wooden board to the laboratory and wait for the technician to conduct testing.

The next day, laboratory technician Li Fang placed the laboratory report on Jiang Yiming's desk. The report showed that the fracture of the pine board contained a large amount of a-cyanoethyl acrylate, which is the substance of 502 glue. Main ingredients.After Jiang Yiming read the report, he frowned. Zhou Ting's intuition was really accurate. This was most likely a murder case!
The thing should be like this: someone broke the pine board, then glued the pine board with 502 glue, and placed it on the scaffolding on the seventh floor. They just waited for Zhou Shan to fall into the trap, otherwise there would be no 502 glue on the broken part of the pine board. , the murderer was so clever that he almost concealed it.Fortunately, Zhou Ting has a keen intuition, otherwise Zhou Shan's grievances will never be cleared... Zhou Ting is really a criminal policeman. You can consider transferring him to the serious crime team. Keen intuition is a valuable quality for a criminal policeman, isn't it? Every detective has this talent.

4. Return to the scene

Jiang Yiming convened a meeting with the members of the serious crime team and briefly explained the accidental death of Zhou Shan and the detection of 502 glue on the pine board. Everyone discussed for a while and agreed that this was a murder case. Therefore, Jiang Yiming announced that the case was officially filed.

Jiang Yiming told Zhou Ting the news of the filing of the case. Zhou Ting choked on the phone and said, "Thank you!" and then fell into silence. Jiang Yiming knew that his heart was heavy, so he comforted him and hung up the phone.

Not long after hanging up, Zhou Ting called again: "Captain Jiang, I have a request. Is it appropriate?"

"Please tell me, we are not outsiders."

"I request assistance in the investigation of the crime squad..."

"Oh, that's not possible. Relatives involved in the case are not allowed to participate in the investigation. You understand this rule." Jiang Yiming has handled so many cases and knows that it is detrimental to the investigation if relatives and friends participate, just like the last time Luo Jin participated in the Ouyang Shui case. Like all investigations, they are often self-defeating. Jiang Yiming has always been very firm on issues of principle.

"I...I really want to learn something from Captain Jiang..." Zhou Ting didn't know what to say.

Jiang Yiming understood his mood and comforted him: "If you have the opportunity in the future, if you are not afraid of hardship, I will let you be a peripheral investigator on the next case."

"Thank you, Captain Jiang, for using us!"

Wu Jiang and Xiao Ke took the half of the pine board to the seventh floor of the 24th Middle School construction site. Chi Yang took them to the place where the formwork was stacked, pointed at the pile of formwork and said: "Two police officers, the pine board is from this pile of formwork." Taken at will."

Wu Jiang put half of the pine board and the template together for comparison. The color of the pine board was different from that of the template. The template was gray and the pine board was light yellow. From this, it can be judged that the pine board is newer than the template. There was much less cement than the cement on the formwork. The cement attached to the pine boards was uneven, as if it had been brushed on deliberately. The specifications of the pine boards were 20 centimeters wider than the formwork. It was obvious that the murderer had taken them from elsewhere and placed them on the formwork pile. The man who placed the pine boards on the formwork pile is the suspect.
