Serious Crime Unit 1

Chapter 43 Death of accomplice (2)
Jiang Yiming and Zuo Li came to the city's No. [-] Prison. Warden Ye warmly received them, but when they heard that they were here to investigate the cause of Achang's death, there was a faint displeasure on their faces, which made Jiang Yiming feel that what Uncle Jing said was right. ’s: Is there really an ulterior motive behind Achang’s death?And it’s also related to the second supervisor?But it can also be explained this way: No one wants a murder to happen in a prison under their jurisdiction. If it happens, the prison leaders must be responsible. Moreover, Achang and Zhu San went swimming at that time. With the approval of the prison guard on duty, Warden Ye may have Do you have the mentality that family scandals should not be made public?

Warden Ye said: "Achang has been suffering from a low fever for the past few days. Could it be that the fever weakened him and caused cramps in his hands and feet, leading to his death by drowning?"

Jiang Yiming returned to the team and asked Luo Jin: "Will a master swimmer suffer from cramps in his limbs due to physical weakness and be unable to save himself and drown?"

"The probability of cramps in all four limbs at the same time is very low. Generally speaking, it is either hand cramps or foot cramps. Moreover, even if the hands and feet cramp at the same time, a swimming champion can still save himself. He knows that life is the most important, as long as his consciousness is It is clear that he could not have drowned, let alone that small river, which would not have killed Achang."

"You mean Achang committed suicide?"

"It's possible, but there was no poison in Achang's body, and there wasn't a single scratch outside his body. The autopsy results proved that he died of drowning. If it was a homicide, how could the murderer do it?"

"Could someone knock him unconscious before entering the water and then throw him into the river, causing him to lose the ability to swim and giving the appearance of death by drowning?"

"It's possible, but Zhu San said he watched Achang jump into the water and swim towards the center of the river, unless Zhu San is lying!"

"There is also a possibility that two master swimmers dragged Achang to the bottom of the water and drowned him alive." Jiang Yiming proposed another idea.

"But Achang's water quality is very good. He will definitely fight with them under the water. Their fight will not be less than 5 minutes. A long fight will leave scars on Achang's body. But Achang has no scars on his body. How to explain this?"

"Will the scars be faded by the river water?"

"No, as long as there are scars, even if they are as thin as a hair, they can be detected. Captain Jiang, I think we should start with Zhu San."

Jiang Yiming thought for a while and nodded.

Jiang Yiming and Zuo Li asked the prison guards to find Zhu San and went to the prison office for interrogation. After a while, Zhu San came. Accompanied by the prison guards, Jiang Yiming asked Zhu San: "You watched Achang jump into the water and swim towards the center of the river. Where were you when you went?"

"I'm standing under the banyan tree."

"How far is it from Achang?"

"It's about 30 meters from the banyan tree to the river bank."

"How long did you see Achang swimming in the river?"

"I only watched it for 10 minutes, then lay down under the banyan tree to rest, and then fell asleep."

"Did anyone else see it?"

"Yes, yes, the cattle herder in Heping Town is also sitting under the banyan tree to rest."

"What's his name?"

"I don't know. Ask the correctional officers. They should know."

The prison guard found the old man who was herding cattle. The old man said that he always smoked and rested under the banyan tree. It was not until Zhu San woke up that he and Zhu San went to the river to look for Achang.

Zhu San's suspicion was eliminated.

When Jiang Yiming was leaving, Zhu San stuffed him with a note. He walked out of the prison gate and opened the note to read: Officer, Achang must have committed suicide. I will find ways to help you find evidence. The correctional cadre told me not to talk nonsense. If I give The second prison will bring trouble and I will stay in the second prison for the rest of my life. I can only express my thoughts in this way.

After Jiang Yiming read the note, his heart became heavy.

No.60 Accidentally fell to death in Qijie

It was raining continuously in the sky, and the whole city was immersed in gloom.

Li Yan's company is located on the 38th floor of the Tianwang Building in this city. She likes to stay in the office when she has nothing to do. The office is very large, covering an area of ​​100 square meters. It seems a bit empty in the quiet rainy day. At this time, she is holding a With a cup of ginseng tea, she stood by the glass wall, looking at the gray city in the rain and the rainwater slowly flowing down the glass. She felt that the silent rainwater was like tears, and suddenly a feeling of loneliness arose. She wanted to get rid of it. There was a hint of sadness that even she was not aware of, and she tried her best to think about a happy place, so Jiang Yiming's heroic appearance and charming smile popped out of her mind.She dialed his phone: "My great detective, what are you doing?" Her tone was friendly, her voice was as soft as velvet, and she blurted out: "My..." These two words rushed out from deep in her heart uncontrollably. Yes, she was shocked. She was just walking hand in hand along a beautiful beach with him. How could she become "mine"?Her face felt slightly warm, but luckily he wasn't there.

"I'm surfing the Internet." Jiang Yiming replied.

"Is it so boring?" She asked and thought: Fortunately, he didn't seem to understand the deep meaning of those two words.

"Play games and relax."

"Do you have time to hang out? Let's go bowling."

"I've never touched a bowling ball." Although he said this, he was already fascinated.

"Come on, I'll teach you. With your cleverness, you can learn it in 10 minutes."

More than 10 minutes later, Jiang Yiming and Li Yan walked into the Jianmin Bowling Alley side by side. The business in the alley was very good, but there were no seats left. The boss asked them to wait a little longer. After 20 minutes, a seat became available, and the boss took them to the bowling alley. In the reception room, he brought two cups of coffee to them. It was obvious that Li Yan was a regular customer here, and that was why the boss was so respectful to them.

Li Yan sat down and was about to talk to Jiang Yiming when his cell phone suddenly rang. He saw it was an unfamiliar number and was a little confused, but he answered it. The other party said: "Are you Captain Jiang? I'm Zhu San. Alas, I I finally got your phone number, can you come to the second prison? I have some situations to report to you."

"what's the situation?"

"These are some trivial things about Achang's life before his death. I think they should be useful to you. For example, he had an injection at the prison medical center at noon on the day he died..."

"It's normal for him to have a fever and get an injection. I'm very busy right now. How about this? Let's go see you in the afternoon tomorrow, Monday?" Jiang Yiming didn't want to disappoint Li Yan again and again, not to mention that today is Sunday and it's raining again...

"This... um... okay, I'll wait for you." Zhu San hesitated and hung up the phone.

"What, is something wrong? If anything happens, you can leave first." Li Yan asked.

"It's okay. It's just a matter of staying with you today."

Li Yan smiled sweetly. At this time, the boss came in and said that there were vacancies and asked them to play. After they came on the field, Li Yan first talked about the essentials of playing, and then taught him how to play. After a while, Jiang Yiming learned it. And they played very well, not like a beginner at all. The good times passed very quickly, and the afternoon passed away in their laughter.

The next day, the clouds and fog dissipated, and it was clear. The sky was as transparent as a mirror. White pigeons were flying over the city, cheering to welcome the long-lost sunshine... Jiang Yiming sat in the office and smoked, his thoughts scattered with the curls of green smoke. …Who murdered Achang?Who is so smart?Not leaving any clues?Why didn't the prison guards let Zhu San say that Achang was murdered?Does Achang know too many ulterior secrets in prison?

"Ding...ding..." The phone on the table suddenly rang, interrupting Jiang Yiming's contemplation: "Hello, who are you looking for?"

"Captain Jiang, this is Lao Ye. Oh no, Zhu San fell to his death. You should quickly bring someone to take a look. Don't let the media know about this, otherwise our Second Supervisory Committee will be overwhelmed by public opinion."

Jiang Yiming's heart tightened. It was over. He had made a fatal mistake: when Zhu San called yesterday, he should have gone to the second prison to check on him. He would definitely be able to get valuable clues from him, and Zhu San might not die. Because the murderer didn't know yesterday that Zhu San had a fatal clue about the murderer, and now the murderer is being silenced in advance...

Jiang Yiming felt deeply guilty and regretful.He, Wu Jiang, Zuo Li, Xiao Ke, and Luo Jin quickly rushed to the second prison. Warden Ye and two other prison guards were already waiting at the gate. After greeting Jiang Yiming and the other five, they took them to the scene of the incident. on site.

The scene was under an orange grove at the foot of Lianhua Mountain.Captain Lin, the prison guard in charge of leading the team, said: What happened is, because it was sunny today, I and 5 other colleagues led 12 inmates to the orange grove to weed. This orange grove is the property of our second prison, because the orange grove It was far away from the No. 18 Prison, so we ordered 40 packed lunches from a restaurant in town. After lunch, we all lay down under the forest to rest. Zhu San didn’t want to rest, so he wanted to go to the cliff to see the scenery. I told him to be careful.He said it doesn't matter, I'm not a child, I won't fall off the cliff.Every time he takes a break, he likes to sit on the cliff and look at the scenery. The cliff is only about [-] meters away from us. Within our sight range, I let him go. Zhu San sat on the cliff for more than two hours. , when our start whistle blew, he stood up from the cliff. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he shouted "Ah", suddenly fell backward, and waved his hands in the air twice. , fell to the cliff... When we rushed to the cliff, his head had been cracked and he was dying...

"Captain Lin, was there anyone with Zhu San when he fell off the cliff?" Wu Jiang asked.

"No, absolutely not. Before I blew the whistle, I looked at Zhu San until he disappeared from my sight."

"Is there someone hiding on the cliff in advance, and when Zhu San got up and turned around, he suddenly pulled Zhu San off the cliff with an iron hook?" Jiang Yiming asked.

"This is even more impossible. As soon as Zhu San fell, we ran to the top of the cliff to take a look. There was no one on the cliff. If someone was hiding there, there was no way he could escape within a few seconds, let alone that it was The cliff is precipitous, unless this person can fly.”
