Serious Crime Unit 1

Chapter 724 Drowning (4)
It turned out that there were a few messy shoe prints in the ditch. They were very fresh and deeply imprinted in the ditch. Wu Jiang asked Xiao Ke to come over and take a look.After Xiao Ke looked at it, he measured it with a measuring tape. The deepest shoe print was 2.5 centimeters, the lightest shoe print was 1 centimeter, and the shoe print was size 42.

Wu Jiang squatted down and observed carefully. He said to Xiao Ke: "Judging from the dehydration of the wet mud, these shoe prints were left within three days. Because the wind on the riverside was strong, the wet mud around the shoe prints formed quickly. It will be air-dried, so it will help us make a more accurate judgment."

"This seems to be a shoe print left by a sneaker, possibly a Nike sneaker. Unfortunately, the shoe print is very shallow and its texture is almost invisible."

"That's enough. I'm worried that it wasn't left by the murderer. Because the murderer is very smart, he wouldn't have left us such obvious evidence. I'm worried that it was left behind when he came to observe the sugar cane." Wu Jiang said thoughtfully.

"It shouldn't be left by the sugar cane farmers. These are sugar canes, not fruit sugar canes. The sugar cane farmers don't have to worry about it being stolen by thieves, and it can be harvested immediately. How can the sugar cane farmers have time to come here to look at the sugar cane?"

"Not necessarily. Just like farmers often look at the ripe rice, they will feel a sense of accomplishment when they look at it. When I was a child, my father often took me to see the rice that was about to be harvested in the production team."

"What era was that? Farmers at that time had a deep affection for rice and farmland. How can sugarcane farmers today have that kind of affection?"

Wu Jiang nodded: "I hope what you said is right. Come, go get the soft plaster, and we will extract the shoe prints. If it is left by the murderer, it can be used as evidence to prosecute him."

Xiaoke walked out of the ditch and walked towards the field ridge with the survey box in the distance. Wujiang also walked out of the ditch and looked at the south bank of the Qianjiang River. Directly opposite was the place where Fang Dengtai fell into the water. The surface of the Qianjiang River was about 500 meters wide and the water flow was gentle. The afternoon sun is shining with sparkling waves.

This is the best position for the murderer to observe Fang Ding on the stage. Of course, in order to prevent Fang Ding on the stage from being discovered and suspicious, the murderer must hide behind the first row of sugar canes and observe Fang Ding on the stage through the gaps in the sugar canes. Therefore, those footprints are probably left by the murderer. Down.

Xiao Ke brought the survey box over, and Wu Jiang asked him to make impressions of the shoe prints. Because the ditch was too narrow to accommodate two people, Wu Jiang observed the outer few square meters of the shoe prints to see if there were any other harvests, such as cigarette butts. Key physical evidence such as cigarettes, tissues, and sputum were not found.

Jiang Yiming and Zhou Ting found no suspicious traces, but they picked up a lot of cigarette butts, cigarette boxes, straw hats and other things, and also extracted some footprints. From the naked eye, they were not very fresh and may not have been left recently. , so there may be no value.

As the sun set, they gathered together and informed each other of the results of the investigation. Jiang Yiming breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Xiao Ke had found suspicious shoe prints: the half-day's work was finally not in vain.Wu Jiang determined that the owner of the shoe print was about 178 centimeters tall and weighed about 75 kilograms. He was a strong man.

If you want more accurate data, you have to go back to the team and use a computer to scan. If the owner of the shoe print is the murderer, how can you find him out of the vast sea of ​​people?Unless the murderer's footprints have already been entered into the database, such as a criminal case, the likelihood of finding the murderer in the database is slim.

Wujiang entered the suspicious shoe prints extracted from the sugar cane fields into the computer and conducted a search. The results were disappointing. However, it was confirmed that they were Nike sneakers produced in early 2016. These shoes were once very popular. From the beginning of 2016 to the end of 2017, this shoe print was The city has wholesaled 50 pairs, including nearly 42 pairs of size 11 shoes. Therefore, it is almost impossible to find the person from the shoe prints.

Moreover, they were not sure that it was the shoe print left by the suspect. Therefore, this clue was not acceptable and could only be used as one of the evidence after the murderer was arrested and brought to justice. Therefore, they gave up this clue.

Jiang Yiming and Zhou Ting continue to investigate the Guanshan Road case; Wu Jiang and Xiaoke investigate the Fang Dengtai case.As usual, they named the former case 1 and the latter case 2. The two cases occurred only 1 days before and after, so they don’t know if they are related.

It stands to reason that Case 1 is easier to investigate than Case 2, because as long as they find the person who called the police, they will get twice the result with half the effort. However, they have tried many methods and still have no clue.Of course, because the investigation time was relatively short and many clues were not found, it is common for there to be no results.

In both cases, we can only look at the motive of the murder. There is no direct evidence, and it takes a lot of time and patience to identify the suspects. The reputation of the No. 1 Serious Crime Team is too great, and the criminal police team of the branch will find cases that are difficult to handle. Give it directly to them.

Simpler cases will be filed for investigation by the criminal police team of the branch. After no results are obtained, they will be handed over to the criminal police team of the city bureau. Because they have rich experience, superb technology and advanced equipment, the members of the No. 1 Major Crime Team The task is extremely heavy and the pressure is extremely high.

Wu Jiang and Xiao Ke went to the mobile company to read all of Fang Dengtai's call records, and found out the 10 relatives and friends who talked to Fang Dengtai most frequently. They planned to check their alibi first, and then ask them whether Fang Dengtai had offended him. Who?Wu Jiang suddenly remembered that Guan Xianyin had witnessed Fang Dengtai falling into the water. He must find him to understand the situation at that time. He might have seen the appearance of the murderer.Huan Xianyin had already left before the Crime Unit No. 1 arrived at the scene. He only briefly explained the situation to Qu Changshui and left. Because Qu Changshui was not a criminal police officer and he was eager to save people at the time. The inquiry was unclear and no transcript was taken.

There is no written record or recording, so it cannot be used as evidence. This is the so-called empty talk, so it cannot explain anything.Wu Jiang called Qu Changshui and asked him if he had Orchestral Sound’s phone number or address.Qu Changshui said that Guan Xianyin did not leave a phone number, but he knew that he lived in Luoyang Community on Luoshui Road.I don’t know the specific house number.

Wu Jiang had no choice but to check the household registration system. The results revealed that he lived in Room 13, Building 203, Luoyang Community. He was 69 years old. Before his retirement, he was the deputy secretary of the Jiangnan District Civilization Office. He was a good party member who was loyal to his duties and very principled. He was low-key. , gentle and restrained.

Wu Jiang called the Jiangnan District Civilization Office and asked for Guan Xuan Yin’s mobile phone number, and then called him. The call was quickly connected. Wu Jiang said he was going to visit him and asked if he had time?After he knew that Wu Jiang was a criminal police officer from the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Police Team, he immediately agreed to wait for them at home.

Wu Jiang and Xiaoke drove to Luoyang Community, passed the security guard in the guard room, and quickly found the home of Guan Xianyin. Luoyang Community was developed by the district government and sold at a low price to civil servants in units directly under the jurisdiction of the district government and the district party committee. Therefore, The management here is very good, and the greening, space, and facilities are all standardized, reasonable, and complete.

After Guan Xianyin heard the doorbell, he stood up and was about to open the door. He saw Wu Jiang and Xiao Ke through the peephole of the door, opened the door, stretched out his big hands, shook hands with them warmly, and then invited them into the house and called them Sit down and talk slowly first, and then start boiling water to make tea.

Wu Jiang looked at the orchestral sound. He was about 175 centimeters tall, with a thin body and an upright body. He looked like a young man and had not deformed with age. It was obvious that he was a person who paid great attention to self-cultivation.His face is rosy, his eyes are shining, and his face is filled with confidence and enthusiasm, which is a manifestation of his love for life.

"Secretary Guan, we are here to understand the situation of Fang Deng when he fell into the water. Please cooperate with us. I would like to ask you a question: Why did you leave the scene before we arrived?" Wu Jiang asked with a smile, his eyes were soft and his tone was soft. Slowly.

"I'm sorry, I saw the mother of the deceased crying heartbrokenly. I am also the father of my son, and I couldn't bear the heartbreaking scene. At the same time, I felt that I should jump into the water to save him, but I ended up being afraid. I didn't do that, so I felt very guilty, so I just wanted to run away." His face darkened and his heart became heavy.

"No, you don't have to feel guilty at all. Your choice was correct. If you had jumped into the water to save others, not only would you not have been able to save Fang Deng on the stage, but you would most likely have taken your own life as well."

"Why?" He looked at Wu Jiang in confusion.

"According to our investigation, this was a murder case. Fang Dengtai was dragged into the water and drowned by the murderer. You and Fang Dengtai couldn't defeat the tall frogman together." Wu Jiang felt that for a man who had been deputy secretary of the party committee, There is no need for Communist Party members to hide the facts.

"Ah? How is that possible?" Orchestral tone was shocked and very surprised.

"Our judgment is not wrong and is verified by science and technology. Therefore, we must come to visit you. Have you seen Fang Deng on the stage fighting with people in the water?" Wu Jiang wanted to ask him if he had ever seen the frogman. The appearance, but thinking that the frogman should be wearing an oxygen mask, even if he could see it, he would not be able to see the murderer clearly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see how the man fell into the water. I only saw him struggling in the water for a few times before sinking into the water. He never surfaced again. Although the water in the area where the accident occurred was very clear, because I was nearly 500 meters away from him, so I didn't see anyone fighting with him." He replied regretfully.

"How long has Fang Dengtai been struggling in the water?"

"This...I'm not sure. When I saw him struggling in the water, I immediately ran towards him and watched while running. I think it didn't take more than 30 seconds at most?" he said noncommittally.

"Can you swim?"
