You're Guilty: Conspiracy Scene 2 crime escalation

Chapter 44 The Strange Cause of Fire
After DNA identification, the two bodies were Huang Manhua's husband Li Qiong and his three-year-old son Li Weiwei.Regarding the results of the autopsy, Su Caixuan's forensic report stated: the respiratory tract of the two corpses had soot and charcoal attached, which proved that the deceased still had vital signs before the fire.There is a high dose of carbon monoxide in the blood. The carbon monoxide produced by combustion is inhaled into the body along with the breathing movement of the burnt person, and combines with hemoglobin in the blood to form carboxyhemoglobin.In addition, due to the high fever, the mucous membranes of the larynx, trachea, and bronchus of the two corpses were congested, edematous, and blisters formed.The body surface, soft tissue and bones of the two corpses were not traumatized, and there were no signs of poisoning in the internal organs.

It was concluded that both bodies were burned while they had full vital signs, not post-mortem cremation.

The fire department has not yet reached a clear conclusion on the cause of the fire.The site was severely damaged, and there was no sign of fire on the circuit, let alone arson.Tests on the damaged items and coke at the burning site found that they were all relics of daily household items, and no traces of flammable and explosive items were found.

The cause of the fire has been delineated as incentives such as cigarette butt ignition and children playing with fire, and the fire brigade cannot give an accurate judgment.

Next, Li Qiong and Li Weiwei's remains were cremated and funerals were carried out step by step.The wounds of a tragic fire are slowly healing and fading from memory.

But there are still two people who are brooding over the fire and cannot let go.

Li Guanlan was sitting in the office, playing with a piece of transparent and thick glass shards, frowning slightly, thoughtful.

Strictly speaking, there were no obvious doubts about the fire, and the forensic report also showed that the deceased had no signs of being killed and burned. It had nothing to do with the criminal police team, and Li Guanlan could completely let it go.After all, Quzhou City is a provincial capital city with a population of more than 500 million and a floating population of nearly 400 million. There are many criminal cases. Li Guanlan has enough things to do.

But Li Guanlan couldn't be that chic, the fire weighed heavily on his heart like a huge rock.There was a lingering doubt that made him unable to let go.Maybe it's determined by his innate character traits of seeking to get to the bottom of the matter, maybe it's his duty and mission as a criminal policeman, maybe it's his respect for life, deep down in his heart, he refuses to let any life die in vain.

Investigate?The teacher came out of no name.And even if the investigation goes to the end, all the evidence has been destroyed by the fire. As long as the murderer is strong enough to fight to the end, and resolutely refuses to admit or explain, the police will be helpless even if they know the cause and effect.

Just at this time, Su Caixuan knocked on the door and walked in, with a solemn face and the appearance of a lawsuit on her forehead.Li Guanlan has worked with her for many years and has a tacit understanding. Seeing this, he asked, "Still struggling with the fire case?"

Su Caixuan said: "Well, it's very depressing. I know there are doubts, but I can't investigate them."

Li Guanlan said, "What doubt?"

Su Caixuan said: "It's about Huang Manhua. An investigator from the insurance company contacted me an hour ago and asked me to confirm the cause of death of Li Qiong and his son. According to the investigator, Huang Manhua insured her husband and children for 100 million yuan in accidents. Insurance companies have to do routine investigations, and if they can’t find any flaws, they have to pay the full amount of compensation. The insurance company found that Huang Manhua’s behavior and reaction were very suspicious during the preliminary investigation. Although she appeared to be out of control at the scene of the fire, in fact The relationship between her and her husband Li Qiong was not good, and she also neglected to take care of her son Li Weiwei. According to the information obtained by the insurance investigator, Li Qiong was in poor health, suffering from diabetes at a young age, with high blood sugar and high blood fat. Tired easily, lethargic, went through the procedures for sick leave early, and received a meager labor insurance from the unit. Huang Manhua loves leisure and hates work, greedy for vanity, and is very dissatisfied with Li Qiong's income. The two often quarrel. The most important doubt is that Huang Manhua Had an affair two years ago."

Li Guanlan's heart moved, and his doubts about Huang Manhua deepened. He interrupted and asked, "Who is her affair? How is the relationship between the two of you?"

Su Caixuan said: "The investigators of the insurance company have not yet grasped the details of Huang Manhua's affair, because the investigation will consume a lot of financial, material and manpower, and even if the facts of her affair are found out, it is still impossible to confirm that Huang Manhua is a criminal suspect. Under such circumstances, the insurance company must and can only pay the compensation in full.

Li Guanlan said: "If the insurance company intervenes in the investigation, it will be much more convenient for us. In the absence of evidence, law enforcement agencies cannot rush to conduct investigations, but insurance companies can play around the edges of the law and have more room for investigation."

Su Caixuan said: "That's the way it is said, but the insurance investigators have no way to find out. It's a bit like a tiger eating the sky and having nowhere to claw." Suddenly seeing a thick piece of round broken glass in Li Guanlan's hand, said, "what is that?"

Li Guanlan said, "Shards of glass."

Su Caixuan said: "Can't I see that it's shards of glass, what's the special meaning of holding it in your hand so precious?"

Li Guanlan said: "It was picked up from the scene of the fire in Huang Manhua's house."

Su Caixuan still didn't understand, and said: "There are many fragments of dishes, cups and plates on the ground at the scene of the fire. I don't see anything special about this one."

Li Guanlan inspired her: "Yes, there is nothing special about those glass and ceramic fragments, but this one is different. What do you think it is?"

Su Caixuan took the piece of broken glass, looked at it for a while, and said not confidently: "It seems to be on a relatively thick glass container, such as a fish tank, a vase or something."

Li Guanlan said: "That's right, this is a fragment from the edge of a fish tank. I picked up many pieces of this kind of broken glass at the fire scene, ranging from large to small. It can be made into more than half of a small round fish tank for household use. It is certain There was originally a small fish tank at the scene of the fire."

Su Caixuan said: "Huang Manhua's house has a small fish tank, is that strange?"

Li Guanlan said: "It is not surprising that residents have fish tanks in their homes. What is strange is that these fish tank fragments appeared in the wrong place. They were scattered on the kitchen floor, about two meters away from the fire, and there were no ornamental fish corpses on the ground. An empty The fish tank is placed in the kitchen, and it is close to the fire, plus the situation of Huang Manhua's family that you described to me, these things are very suspicious."

Su Caixuan was clever and enlightened, and with Li Guanlan's advice, she went through the whole incident in her mind, and finally gradually became clear and realized: "You mean..."

The two partners have worked together for many years, and they have a tacit understanding, and they can communicate at one point in the key links. After discussion, an exquisitely designed plan is gradually brewing and taking shape.
