Chapter 18
On a street in the middle of the night, there was no one there, only the sound of high heels could be heard faintly.At this time, Han Weiwei was walking forward quickly, looking back at something from time to time with frightened eyes.After walking for a while, Han Weiwei turned into an alley, looked back and began to run forward in a hurry.Sudden!Hit a man in a wheelchair on the side of the road.

Han Weiwei quickly bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, are you okay?"

Han Weiwei looked up, and there was only an overturned wheelchair on the ground, and then she seemed to realize something and was about to look up, when a black shadow engulfed her...

In the clean and warm apartment, a kettle was burning on the coal stove, and the kettle began to make a "squeak" sound, but no one paid any attention to it.In the outer room of the apartment, Han Weiwei lay motionless on the floor, with blood flowing from the back of her head.

the next day.

Some patrolmen from the patrol house maintained order outside the apartment.

Qin Xiaoman, with disheveled hair, was wearing casual clothes and pushed forward from behind the crowd.

A citizen was impatient: "Don't squeeze, who is this?"

Another citizen watching the excitement turned back and yelled at Qin Xiaoman: "Why is it crowded, anyway, they are not allowed to enter!"

Qin Xiaoman stared, and left the two of them behind him one by one.When Xiaoman finally squeezed to the front, he was stopped by a patrolman.

"Xiao Zhao, me!" Xiao Man grinned.

The patrolman didn't respond for a while: "You are?"

Qin Xiaoman pushed her hair back: "I, Qin Xiaoman!"

After the patrolman looked at it, he pointed at Xiaoman and nodded suddenly: "Why do you come here like this?"

Qin Xiaoman tied up her hair and said: "The landlord's ring disappeared, and he was pestering me early in the morning. No, as soon as I received a call from the inspector, I came here directly."

The patrolman waved his hand inside: "Go in, by the way, where is Luo Fei?"

Qin Xiaoman curled her lips: "He suddenly asked for a long vacation, either shutting himself in the room every day, or being away from home all day, who knows why he went."

When Qin Xiaoman walked into the outer room, he saw Han Weiwei's body lying on the floor.A forensic doctor was examining the body while reporting the situation to Javert.

"The name of the deceased is Han Weiwei. Initially, the cause of death of the deceased was a fatal blow to the back of the head, but there were no signs of repeated blows."

Javert turned around and found Xiaoman coming, he quickly waved: "Are you here? It's just right, listen carefully."

Xiaoman approached the corpse, couldn't help but look at the forensic doctor who was analyzing the cause of death just now, then turned around and cast a questioning look at Javert. "This is Benjamin, the forensic doctor of our police station. You may not have seen it when you first came here, but you will meet often in the future." After Javert's introduction, he motioned for Benjamin to continue the analysis.

Benjamin nodded to Xiaoman and continued: "Generally speaking, when using blunt weapons to kill people, there will be a process of repeated blows. Even if the first heavy blow has already killed the victim, due to lack of confidence in blunt weapons, As well as the mentality of ensuring that the other party must die, the murderer often hits this fatal wound repeatedly with a blunt instrument."

Javert looked at the deceased and frowned: "Oh? The back of the deceased's head didn't show signs of repeated blows?"

Benjamin touched the back of the deceased's head and nodded: "Yes, if the fatal wound of the deceased had been hit repeatedly, it would leave multiple layers of friction marks on the skull, but this wound of the deceased did not have such marks, so I can be sure , the dead man was hit hard only once."

Xiaoman leaned down to look, and asked, "Why?"

Benjamin raised his eyebrows and smiled: "This issue is not within the scope of my duties."

Javert nodded: "Yes, this should be investigated by our police detectives."

Benjamin then added: "In addition, according to the degree of stiffness of the corpse, the time of the murder was probably between eleven o'clock last night and one o'clock in the morning. A more accurate time can only be given after the autopsy."

"Xiaoman, have you heard of Chairman Tang of the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce?" Javert asked suddenly.

"I read it in the newspaper, saying that President Tang is raising money for the disaster area of ​​the Yellow River."

"All the police force in our patrol room will be sent to protect the safety of President Tang of the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce, so you will be fully responsible for today's case." Javert said.

Qin Xiaoman showed surprise, and pointed to his chin: "Me? Take full responsibility?"

"Yes, it's the first case you've presided over." Javert nodded and patted Xiaoman's shoulder with a smile.

"Who will stay and help me?" Xiaoman asked casually.

Javert hesitated: "Help you?... Uh, Benjamin, anyway, there are no dead people at the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce, so there is no need for him."

After Javert finished speaking, he took Ye Changqing and other detectives out of the apartment.

"Can you do it?" Looking at Javert's group going away, Benjamin approached and asked Xiaoman.

"Luo Fei can help me." Xiaoman said confidently.

"Didn't he ask for a long vacation?"

"I'm now the person in charge of the case. I can hire him privately. Anyway, he's on paid leave now. He doesn't need to be paid, and the detective won't know."

Benjamin looked at the show, and said jokingly: "Are you sure he will help you?"

"His addiction to solving cases is so great, if I casually tell him a few words about the case, he will beg me to come and see the scene." Xiaoman patted his chest and said guiltily.

"Okay, one last question, what about the Tilapia?" Benjamin asked Xiaoman.

Xiaoman looked at Benjamin in a daze: "Why don't you call the apartment first to try your luck?"

At this moment in Sullivan's apartment, Wang Susu was standing at the door and reprimanding four children of different heights standing in a row.Not far behind them is a tall dresser, under the dresser there is a dog food bowl, and a big dog is circling around the dog food bowl.

Xiaoman looked at Benjamin in a daze: "Why don't you call the apartment first to try your luck?"

At this moment in Sullivan's apartment, Wang Susu was standing at the door and reprimanding four children of different heights standing in a row.Not far behind them is a tall dresser, under the dresser there is a dog food bowl, and a big dog is circling around the dog food bowl.

And Luo Fei moved a chair facing the door and sat in the room, pointing at the four children with the index fingers of both hands, crossing back and forth, while Wang Susu waited anxiously for Luo Fei's result.

After all, in Wang Susu's view, apart from Luo Fei and Qin Xiaoman, there are only these four children of distant relatives who just arrived yesterday in the whole apartment, and they came to Shanghai to play because of the holiday.They just arrived yesterday, and today she lost her ring.She just took off the ring last night before going to bed. The door of the apartment was also locked at night, so there must be no outsiders. Besides, Xiao Wang has been barking non-stop today. There must be something strange about it, most likely it was done by a house thief.

But Luo Fei analyzed that the four children were not suspected, because first of all, the two shortest children could not reach Wang Susu's elevated dressing table at all, so they did not have the conditions to commit crimes.The other two children had deep sleep marks on their cheeks and arms, which proved that they slept soundly and did not have the time to commit crimes.So none of them are thieves who stole the ring. They hoped that Wang Susu would let the children go out to play, but Wang Susu insisted that Luo Fei find the ring.

When the two were at a stalemate, Qin Xiaoman's phone call saved Luo Fei. Luo Fei assured Wang Susu that she would find the ring tonight, as long as she listened to Luo Fei's arrangement and promised him three things.The first thing is to let these children go out to play; the second thing is not to press or embarrass the children that Luo Fei secretly asked to whisper to just now; the third thing is not to take out the trash today and wait for Luo Fei to come back at night.

After speaking, Luo Fei picked up the windbreaker on the back of the chair, took a newspaper, turned and went out.Luo Fei in the rickshaw was flipping through the newspaper, his originally relaxed brows were furrowed again.

The most conspicuous places in the newspapers are the tragic photos of the victims of the Yellow River disaster.Look at the headline of the newspaper again: 15 refugees were displaced, and [-] were found starving to death in Chen County!Immediately afterwards, "Shanxi Chamber of Commerce raised donations in Shanghai, and the first batch of supplies was sent directly to the disaster area by the military column"!
"Yellow River! Fundraising!" Luo Fei shook his head, closed the newspaper, and looked outside.Today's Shanghai is still bustling and bustling.
