Serious Crime Unit 1

Chapter 38 Black Mandala (18)
"I hacked into Lu Shanru's computer again and found that on November 11, he had ordered 16 black mandalas from Binhe Qingxin Flower Shop on Taobao at 6 yuan each. I called to check the flower shop's number. The boss, he said that on November 80th, a man named Lu Shanru indeed ordered a black mandala from him. The boss couriered the mandala to Lu Shanru, and Lu Shanru deleted his transaction record, but I used some means to delete it. The record was restored, which he did not expect. Binhe Express can reach the Yangtze River in half a day. He received the black mandala on the evening of November 11, and Luo Xiaoxiao died on the evening of November 17. We are going to express The company verified Lu Shanru’s signature.”

"Zuo Li, good job. You have made a breakthrough in this case, but this evidence is not enough. Lu Shanru is a suspect with extremely stable psychology and high IQ. He is ready for anything, including facing our interrogation. He will not admit to murder easily and we need more evidence to bring him down."

After Jiang Yiming got Lu Shanru's signature from the express company, Lu Shanru was detained by them again.

No.60 Interrogation of Lu Shanru

After Lu Shanru was imprisoned in the detention center, the crime team did not interrogate him because the evidence was not sufficient. The procuratorate was worried that Lu Shanru's lawyer would come to argue and told them to find the evidence quickly, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with it.They conducted a blanket search of Lu Shanru's home and company, but found no valuable evidence.

After two days of cleaning the sewers of the Diamond Concert Hall, sanitation workers found the two-inch long and one-inch wide piece of tin foil.This proves that Guo Zifeng is right. Cheng Liang committed suicide because he wanted to blame Guo Zifeng. Unfortunately, the fingerprints could not be extracted from the piece of tinfoil. Otherwise, the theory that Cheng Liang committed suicide would be more convincing.

There was also another major discovery. Luo Jin further tested Cheng Liang's blood and found that his CD4 cells had dropped and that he was HIV positive. He only had 3 to 4 years to live. Cheng Liang only started to work with Cheng Liang when he found out that he was HIV positive. Wu Lihong separated, not because he didn't love her, but Cheng Liang was able to spend 4 years of his life to clear away the suspicion of Lu Shanru. This kind of loyalty is rare, but it is a pity that it was used in the wrong place, because his suicide interfered with the process of handling the case. Fortunately, he returned The case team had already taken precautions and kept Lu Shanru under tight surveillance, otherwise a third person would definitely die at his hands.

Jiang Yiming thought of mandala again. Lu Shanru bought 6 mandala in Binhe. If the mandala at the scene of Cheng Liang's death was one of them, what about the other three?He might have used the remaining three sticks at the murder scene, but since he was under police surveillance, he had no chance to use the other three sticks. So, he couldn't have thrown them into the trash can. He must have hidden them somewhere. He would have hidden them somewhere. Where is it?
Jiang Yiming thought that it might be hidden on the roof of Lu Shanru's house, because it was a house he bought 7 years ago. At that time, the roof usually had an insulation layer. If it was hidden there, it would be easy to get it when using it, and no one would know it. think.

Jiang Yiming and Wu Jiang rushed to the roof of Unit 5 of Lushanru and conducted a careful search. In less than half an hour, they found three black mandalas. They were hidden under the insulation layer of the roof and covered with exquisite plastic. It's packaged exactly the same as when I bought it from the flower shop, but the flowers have withered.

Luo Jin extracted Lu Shanru's fingerprints from the plastic packaging, as well as a female fingerprint. Jiang Yiming guessed that the female fingerprint belonged to the flower shop attendant. He called Wang Wenming to help him go to the flower shop to extract the fingerprint of the attendant, and then faxed it over.At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Yiming received a fax from Wang Wenming, confirming that the other fingerprint belonged to the flower shop waitress. With this evidence, Jiang Yiming was ready to interrogate Lu Shanru.

This time, Jiang Yiming presided over the trial, Zuo Li recorded, and Wu Jiang and Xiaoke were on the jury. Wang Ju and 11 other participating team members sat outside the single-view glass wall to listen to the trial. Everyone hoped that Lu Shanru would speak up and win the case as soon as possible, but Director Wang is not optimistic. He has seen a lot of criminals like Lu Shanru. He knows what fatal evidence is, and the crime team lacks this ironclad evidence.

"Lu Shanru, do you know why I called you here this time and why you were handcuffed?"

"I don't know, I expected it, because I am suspected of murder." Lu Shanru replied calmly.

"It's good to know. Please tell me how you killed someone."

"You say I killed someone, where is the evidence?"

"If there is no evidence, will we handcuff you? During the three days from November 11th to 16th, did you buy any black mandala?"

"No, I don't like those unlucky flowers."

Jiang Yiming took out a sealed plastic bag and showed it to him. It contained the original signature for the mandala and asked, "What is this? Did we forge your signature?"

Lu Shanru deliberately stretched his head, looked at it and said, "Oh, yes, I ordered 16 black mandalas on Taobao on the 6th. I have a bad memory. Please forgive me, Captain Jiang."

"Why would you order this flower from afar?"

"The express company can deliver it directly to my home. It's simple and convenient." "Do you want to buy this kind of flower?"

"I originally wanted to take it to the cemetery to pay homage to my friend, but then I thought it was unlucky, so it was useless."

"Where did you put it after that?"

"I threw it into the trash can, and now it's burned to ashes in the garbage station, right?"

Jiang Yiming took out the evidence bag from the drawer, which contained two withered black mandalas. He waved it in front of him, stopped there and said, "Did you see clearly? This is in the fifth unit where you live. The insulation on top was found and you can’t deny it because it has your fingerprints on it.”

"Maybe after I threw it into the trash can, some kid picked it up and hid it in it? Yes, that's definitely the case. There is a little boy downstairs who likes to check the things I throw away..."

"Even if it's what you said, why are there no children's fingerprints on it?" Jiang Yiming's eyes pierced him like knives, and his voice became heavier.

"This... this... I don't know..." Lu Shanru stuttered a little, his palms and forehead were slightly sweaty. He felt like a big mountain was pressing down on his chest and he couldn't breathe. He took a deep breath and thought : We can't just go on like this. We must find a way out of the fatal situation, but how can we do it?He really couldn't think of any tricks, how about pretending to be crazy?Malingering?Is there anything else besides these?He knew that the doctor was waiting outside, and there was no point in pretending to be sick or crazy, but he then thought: Even if I admit to hiding the mandala on the roof, they can't convict him of murder, because the mandala is not the most important thing. Evidence, the court is all about evidence. As long as he keeps his mouth shut, there is nothing the police can do to him.

Finally he resolved not to say a word, he demanded to see his lawyer, and if they didn't let him see Lawyer Luo, he would run into a wall and die.

"I believe you are not that kind of scoundrel. I understand that you are a man. If you dare to do it, why don't you dare to admit it?" Before Jiang Yiming finished speaking, Lu Shanru suddenly stood up and bumped his head against the wall, but was blocked by Xiao Ke. He grabbed him, pushed him back to the chair, locked him in the interrogation chair, and shackled his feet so that he could not move.

Seeing that there was nothing he could do, Lu Shanru closed his eyes and pretended to be dead. No matter how many questions they asked, he refused to speak, and the interrogation reached a deadlock.

Another person died in section No.60
At a critical moment, another murder case occurred in the Second People's Hospital of the city. The leadership of the hospital designated the No. 1 Crime Team to appear at the scene. Jiang Yiming took Wu Jiang, Zuo Li, Xiao Ke and Luo Jin there.

The deceased was a retired female gynecologist named Zhang Juanyao. She was 56 years old and lived alone. She was a serious and disciplined person at work. Her husband was a painter and had a high reputation in the Municipal Artists Association. She fell ill in the spring of 2006. Zhang Juanyao passed away. Her only daughter was studying abroad in Frankfurt. Before the hospital had time to notify her daughter, Zhang Juanyao died on the sofa in her living room. According to preliminary judgment, it was gas poisoning.

The gas leaked from the kitchen to the living room like this: the deceased was boiling eggs on the gas stove, but because the water in the pot was too full, after the water boiled, it overflowed the edge of the pot, and then the fire was put out, but the deceased did not It was found that she was sleeping deeply in the living room. Perhaps because of the cold weather, the deceased had closed the window tightly.

There are two points that are puzzling: first, the deceased could not have smelled the gas. No matter how deep a sleep he was, he would still be woken up by the unpleasant smell of gas, unless the deceased took sleeping pills; second, the deceased was a doctor with a generous pension, and she The gas stove you are using should be a gas stove with advanced gas leakage protection. How can you use this kind of gas stove without gas leakage protection?From the superficial appearance, the deceased may have died of murder, but without clear investigation, we cannot easily draw a conclusion.

What is even more terrifying is that there is another withered black mandala inserted in the chest pocket of the deceased!
When Jiang Yiming saw this mandala, he was really shocked. What he was afraid of was not the mandala and the murderer, but the fear of arresting the wrong Lu Shanru.Lu Shanru has been locked up in the detention center. It is impossible for him to murder Zhang Juanyao. Could it be that the murderer is someone else?And the murderer is hiding behind them and sneering, watching the policemen he teased running around in a state of distress, but there is nothing he can do?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yiming felt chills running down his spine. There is another possibility that other murderers are using the black mandala. However, judging from the withering degree of the mandala, the possibility of being used is relatively small. The final result You have to test to find out.

The reporter was Zhang Juanyao’s neighbor and a retired doctor. His surname was Qiu and he lived on the floor above Zhang Juanyao. He was a widower and a widower. Every morning he would come and ask Zhang Juanyao to go for a walk in the small park downstairs or practice Tai Chi. The age difference between the two elderly people is 6 years, and they both lost their wives, so they have a lot of sympathy for each other.
