Copse 3: The Departed

Chapter 3 Huang Quan has company
一
Night is coming, and there is no cloud in the dark blue sky. On the dark mountain path, a circular beam of light is shaking back and forth, and the sound of footsteps is gradually clear.

"Mouse, why are you walking so fast?" A man with a chubby figure followed behind out of breath.

The man called the mouse switched the flashlight from his left hand to his right, then stopped and replied, "I said dragon eggs, where is your energy to eat big kidneys?"

"Your sister, you didn't eat it? I've grown meat even after drinking cold water, can you blame me?" Long Dan pinched his waist with both hands, and secretly took a rest while complaining.

"Let me tell you, I received a tip, and we must hurry up and tell Uncle Bo about the situation. If the news gets out, our [-]% benefit fee will be in vain." The mouse urged.

"How much benefit fee?" Dragon Egg licked his mouth greedily.

The mouse looked around mysteriously, walked up to the dragon egg, and whispered in his ear: "It's a total of 1 yuan!"

"What? Ten thousand?"

"Keep your voice down!" The mouse covered the dragon's egg's mouth, "Do you still have the strength?"

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm)) to hearing the money, the eyes of the dragon egg shot out, and the fat on the chin trembled with the shaking of the head.

"Hurry up if you have the strength!" The mouse wiped the hand covered with the saliva of the dragon egg vigorously on the pants, then waved the hand, and continued to walk into the darkening mountain.

On the dark path, the flashlight's spot appeared and disappeared, and the sound of rocks falling down on both sides of the path sounded from time to time.

Soon, a light loomed at the end of the road, and the two rats saw this and quickened their pace.

"Buy and leave!" "Buy and leave!"

The two of them heard his voice before seeing him.

"Shall we play two games tonight?" Dragon Egg was obviously familiar with this place.

"Do you have money? Still playing!" The mouse pouted.

"Isn't there going to be a 1 yuan benefit fee right away?" Long Dan greedily looked at the color board house only ten meters away from him.

The color board house in front of me is made of sandwich foam boards and is divided into east and west rooms. The east house is full of people chatting and whispering, while the west side is relatively quiet.

"When you get the money, your share, you can play as you want! Let's see Uncle Bo first." The mouse stopped, put both hands into his pockets at the same time, and then took out two kinds of cigarette cases.

"Don't look at it, Zhonghua on the left, Hongtashan on the right! Why do you have to check every time? Just like you, you still say that I have a bad brain!" Dragon Egg laughed foolishly.

"Uncle Bo is our senior, if you take it wrong, you will be ugly! Don't talk nonsense, hurry up!" The mouse put the cigarette case back into its pocket, and walked towards the room with the words "manager" hanging in two steps. Room" sign to the house.

Soon, the two stood respectfully in front of the door, and when they were about to knock on the door, a man's voice came from inside the room.

"Mice, dragon eggs, come in, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Dragon Egg lowered his voice to the lowest level and asked, "How did Uncle Bo know we would come?"

"Pig brain, there are surveillance cameras at the intersection of the mountain!"

"Oh, yes!" Longdan slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing.

Because the door is made of foam plastic board, it is so light that there is no sound when the door is pushed.As the field of vision gradually expanded, the situation inside the house was also fully visible.The furnishing of the room is very simple, a desk, a monitoring computer that records real-time images, and two brown-red wooden sofas.

At this time, a man in his 50s was leaning leisurely on a black boss chair with his legs crossed. The gold-encrusted jade ring the size of a quail egg on his finger had deeply engraved the word "rich man" into his heart. engraved on him.

"Uncle Bo!" The two mice bowed respectfully and shouted.

"Well, sit down!"

Mouse hurriedly took out a Zhonghua cigarette from his left pocket, and when he was about to hand it over, Uncle Bo blocked the air with his right hand: "Mouse, did you bring me good news or bad news this time?"

"Of course that's good news!" The mouse's small eyes squeezed together.

"Good news, I'll pick one for you!" Uncle Bo put on a scissors-hands pose.

The mouse quickly pulled out a soft Chinese box starting with the word "3" from the cigarette case, and turned on the lighter with a click, and the action was done in one go.

Uncle Bo picked up the cigarette and took a sharp puff: "Tell me!"

"Did Zhao Heizi borrow 10 yuan from you?"

"There is such a thing, the one who loses in this field owes almost a month!"

"Is he still there?"

"What's more, I'm looking for him. The interest is 1 yuan a month, which adds up to 11."

The mouse suddenly got excited, turned around and walked to the door, closed the door carefully, and then asked, "Does Uncle Bo know where Zhao Heizi is now?"

"What's the use of knowing where? I can kill him if he doesn't have any money? His daughter's name is written on the real estate certificate of his house." The more Uncle Bo said, the more angry he became.

"Calm down, I have reliable news that Zhao Heizi has money now!"

"really?"

"It's absolutely true. My buddy is playing in another venue. He knows Zhao Heizi, and he said that Zhao Heizi won 15 cash last night!"

"What about the money?"

"He was taken away in a black plastic bag!"

"Damn it, you have to hurry up, go to Zhao Heizi's house now!"

"Uncle Bo, that..." The mouse hesitated to speak.

"Ten percent commission, if you can get the money back, I will give you another four thousand, and I will give you fifteen thousand!"

"Thank you Uncle Bo, thank you Uncle Bo!" The two mice nodded and bowed excitedly.

"Shanzi!" Uncle Bo shouted towards the door.

"Boss, here we come!" The voice came from the noisy casino, and in a blink of an eye a young man with a locomotive opened the door and walked in.

"Bring a few brothers, let the mouse lead the way, and go and recover Zhao Heizi's account from me!"

"Okay, boss! Let's go, mouse!" Shanzi shook his head at the two of them.

Rumble!There was the roar of motorcycles outside the painted board house, and the rocky path was illuminated by three headlights like daytime.

"Drive!" the mouse yelled.

Shanzi heard the words and turned the handle of the motorcycle vigorously. Accompanied by the pungent gasoline smell, the three large Suzuki motorcycles disappeared into the night like arrows flying off the string.

After 40 minutes of ups and downs, five people including Miaozi and Shanzai stood in front of the elevator door of a residential unit building.

"How many floors?" Shanzi turned his head and asked.

"29th Floor, Room 2908!"

"Zhao Heizi probably went crazy over money, so he chose room '8'!" Shanzai snorted and pressed the number keys in the elevator.

The elevator went up all the way, and a group of people walked to the corner at the end of the floor.

Mouse looked up at the house number: "This is it!"

bang bang bang!Shanzi slammed on the door vigorously.

The loud noise alarmed the neighbors next door. The iron door of Room 2907 opened, and a middle-aged woman with a face mask poked her head out and complained, "What are you knocking for?"

"Damn it, give me another try?" Shanzai pointed at the other party's forehead with staring eyes.

The woman looked up at the row of earrings on Shanzai's left ear, and closed the door in desperation.

"Damn it, I owe you scolding!" Shanzi was puzzled, and spat on the door next to him again.

"Brother Shanzi, if there is no response, is it possible that someone is not at home?"

"The boss asked me to collect the bill, that's his trust in me. I, Shanzi, can't let his face go to the ground. I have to collect the bill today. Go to the car and get a crowbar, and open the door for me, look at this old thing Did you keep the winning money at home!"

"Okay, Brother Shanzi!"

For Shanzai who relies on "collecting bills" to make a living, prying open the door is a very common thing.

In just one cigarette, a steel crowbar half a meter long was lifted up.

"Pry!" Shanzi gave an order to the younger brother holding the crowbar, and the others stepped aside on their own initiative.

The little brother stuffed one end of the crowbar into the crack of the door, "Hi..." Before he finished shouting the slogan, the door opened.

"Brother Shanzi, the door is only locked, not locked, and someone may be at home!"

"Damn, today I want to see people, and I want to see corpses! Go in and search for me!" Shanzi winked at the two younger brothers.

The two put away the crowbar and walked into the house.Click!The warm yellow headlights in the living room were switched on.

In a blink of an eye, the two little brothers ran out of the house trembling all over.

"What's the situation?" Shanzi was a little puzzled.

"Shan, Shan, Shan, Shanzi, see, see, see, see the corpse!"

two

"Hi everyone, this is the live broadcast room of "The Most Powerful Brain". I am the host Jiang Changjian. Welcome to watch on time..." Apart from studying professional books, I didn't find that my father had any cold experience in any variety show. This is the only exception.

Whenever the program was broadcast, my father would sit crookedly on the sofa, staring at the TV closely, and exclamations of "my darling" would come from the living room from time to time.This is my father's catchphrase.I have not had much ambition since I was a child, and I was not sensible when I was young. When I grew up, I realized that this was actually the happiest moment in my life.

hum... hum...

"Xiaolong, put down the bowl, hurry up and go downstairs!" My father grabbed the phone and stood up vigorously, shouting at me who was washing dishes in the kitchen.

"What's the matter?" I looked at my father's serious expression, and hurriedly pulled off the apron and walked to him.

"Qiming's call!" It's not an emergency, Brother Ming can't call me at this time, and my father also knows in his heart that it's probably another case.

I wiped the water from my hand on my clothes, and pressed the green answer button on the screen hard.

"5 minutes, go downstairs!"

"Beep beep..." Before I could speak, Brother Ming had already hung up the phone.

"Why are you still in a daze? Go downstairs quickly, you still have 4 minutes!"

"You really deserve to be Brother Ming's master!" I glanced at my anxious father, turned around and ran downstairs.

As soon as I stood on my front foot, alternating red and blue lights filled my entire field of vision.

As soon as Fat Lei stepped on the brakes, the survey vehicle stopped steadily in front of me.

I opened the door hard and got in.

"Brother Ming, where did the murder happen?"

"Green community!"

"what's the situation?"

"The situation is a bit complicated, let's talk about it at the scene!"

According to the usual practice, every time he arrives at the scene of the crime, Captain Xu of the criminal police team will give a brief report on the whole case, so when Brother Ming doesn't have a comprehensive understanding of the case, he usually doesn't waste everyone's time.What we have to do now is to empty our minds and wait for the most detailed investigation of the crime scene.

The green shade community was built in the urban area of ​​Yunxi City, and it was also the first batch of high-rise communities.The entire community is composed of eight high-rise buildings distributed in an arc. Although the community has been built for nearly ten years, the price has remained high because it is located in the school district.

This is the area of ​​our city's key middle school. The occupancy rate of the community has almost reached over 90.00%. Because of the dense population, the surveillance and other supporting facilities in the community are quite complete. Unless the suspect can fly, he will not be able to escape the coverage of surveillance images.At least from this point of view, it can be regarded as a reassurance for us.

Under the guidance of Brother Ming "Go straight, go straight", our car parked in front of the unit in Building 8.Outside the car window, there was a mass of black heads.

"My god, I was scared to death. Somehow, people were killed!"

"How many died?"

"I heard that it was a man who died!"

"How did you die?"

"I heard that the gangster entered the house and hacked to death!"

"Underworld?"

"No, his neighbor saw it with his own eyes!"

"Let's go, let's go!" Team Xu tried his best to push through the chattering crowd, and walked in front of us with all his might. Taking advantage of this time, we had already put on our survey suits.

Brother Ming glanced at the crowd: "Captain Xu, let's get in the car and talk!"

boom!The door was closed again.

"What about the case?"

"We found out through the property that the deceased's name was Zhao Sihui, whose nickname was Zhao Heizi. He was 55 years old and currently lived alone in Room 8, Building 2908. His daughter married to Shanghai, and his wife went there with her. We have Informed his daughter to come back. In addition, we visited the surrounding residents and learned that the deceased’s reputation is not very good, and some people from the society often come to collect debts. According to his neighbors, five gangsters visited the deceased tonight At that time, she heard someone shouting for the dead outside, and through the peephole on the door, she saw five people coming out of the deceased's house, and they ran out desperately. After they were far away, she opened the door and found that Zhao Sihui had been killed. Called the police."

"So this neighbor witnessed the suspect?" I was relieved.

"It's hard to say whether it's a suspect or not. You need to investigate the scene before you can make a judgment!" Brother Ming is a standard materialist. He never makes any speculative assumptions without seeing objective evidence.

"Okay, then we'll meet again after you survey the scene!"

"Get out of the car!" Brother Ming ordered, and the five of us packed up and set off.The surrounding crowd also sensed our extraordinary aura and took the initiative to make way for us.

Watching the numbers in the elevator soar all the way, my brain almost entered a state of complete blankness, which is also the best state for surveying the scene.

Ding, the elevator door opened, and the five of us automatically lined up in a row according to the order of investigation, and walked towards the central scene.

Room 2908 is at the corner of the corridor. The door faces east. The door is a red iron anti-theft door. Mark of.This is all the situation I have initially grasped standing at the door.

After Fat Lei fixed the original outline of the door with the camera, I started the detailed processing of the door.Analyzing the door of this kind of engineering room is the most basic skill of a trace inspector. It took less than 10 minutes for me to put away my tools, open the door and enter the crime scene.

Earlier, I cooperated with the technical office of the sub-bureau to investigate theft cases here.The green shade community is mainly composed of small apartments, and the apartment types at the center site are no exception. The entrance is a porch for people to change shoes. The west side of the porch is the living room. It is a small restaurant with a north-south aisle on the north side, bedrooms on the west side of the aisle, and kitchen and bathroom on the east side.The entire room is only 60 square meters at most, and you can basically have a panoramic view.

On the ground about 50 centimeters north of the entrance, a male corpse was lying on the ground.The entire neck of the deceased was almost cut open, and the tender yellow fat was covered with blood clots; a silver-white kitchen knife was thrown aside, and the room was red with blood; the beige floor was covered with messy bloody shoe prints.The good thing is that the glass on the balcony and the wall of the restaurant has been opened to allow for air circulation, so there is not too much bloody smell in the house.

"One person committed the crime?" Fat Lei looked at it and guessed that there was only one kind of shoe print on the ground.

"Judging from the shoe prints, it's very possible." I didn't deny it.

three

I looked down at the deceased's feet and said with certainty: "Brother Lei, look, the deceased is still wearing leather shoes. This is his own home. The floor in the house is very clean, and there are slippers on the shoe rack. According to normal circumstances, he should change his slippers as soon as he enters the door, but when the suspect killed the deceased, the deceased did not even have time to change his slippers."

"what do you mean……?"

"I speculate that the suspect either followed the deceased into the house, or waited in the house early to commit the crime."

"The fatal wound of the deceased was on the left side of the neck, that is to say, the suspect stood opposite the deceased and attacked him. According to the habits of normal people, if the suspect attacked the deceased behind, the fatal injury should be On the right back of the neck."

"It's more appropriate to analyze this point in combination with blood splatter." Brother Ming saw me discussing with Fat Lei at the door, and he also walked in.

"Yes, blood splatter!" Suddenly my eyes lit up.

Brother Ming glanced at the corpse, and said with certainty: "The cause of death of the deceased is obviously a sharp carotid injury." Then he opened the bloody wound on the neck of the deceased: "The fracture line of the wound splits in the direction of the strike, and caused The bone plate on the opposite side is tilted outward, and there is a gap in the blade under the wound wall. Xiaolong, can you go and see if the kitchen knife next to the corpse has a curved blade?"

I nodded and walked to the kitchen knife covered with sticky blood clots. Under the strong light, the details on the knife were clearly visible: "There is a row of curved blade gaps."

"Well, this should be the criminal tool used by the suspect. Is the gap old?" Brother Ming continued to ask.

"Oxidation at the gap is obvious, and it is old."

"Xiaolong, go to the kitchen and see if the kitchen knife in the deceased's house is in the kitchen!"

I turned and ran towards the kitchen, and the sound of my rummaging through boxes and cabinets sounded in the kitchen.

"exist!"

"Then this knife is likely to be a tool carried by the suspect himself. Let's take a look at the blood splattered at the scene." Brother Ming's words made all of us focus on the direction of his fingertips .

"The place where the blood is most concentrated is the middle and upper part of the entrance, which is about 1.6 meters five from the ground. In other words, the blood spattered from the wound on the neck of the deceased can reach this height. The blood is concentrated on the entrance instead of the door. If the suspect stood behind the deceased and made a surprise attack, the blood should splatter on the right side, which is the position of the door frame, which is in line with the law."

"Director Leng, what if the suspect is left-handed?" Ye Qian asked while standing aside.

"This can be ruled out. Judging from the cutting direction of the wound, the suspect's forceful hand must be the right hand."

"In other words, we can deduce that the suspect was standing opposite the deceased when he committed the crime?"

"Yes, judging from the height of the wound and the bloodstain, the suspect stood facing the deceased with a knife in his right hand, and then slashed at his carotid artery." Brother Ming then squatted down and let us look down. Pointing to the middle and lower section of the entrance: "There is also a place where blood is concentrated and splashed here, but the blood volume is small. Combined with the overlapping cuts of the wounds, the suspect cut at least two times towards the neck of the deceased. If the suspect If he was standing behind the deceased and took advantage of his unpreparedness to carry out the crime, then the resulting blood spatter should not be distributed in this way. From this point, we can also draw the conclusion that the suspect stood facing the deceased when he committed the crime."

Brother Ming got up and said, "There are many situations that can cause this situation of standing opposite each other. For example, the suspect knew the deceased well, followed the deceased into the house, and killed him when he was not prepared. There is also the suspect who was in ambush in advance. Waiting for opportunities to commit crimes in the house, etc."

"The first type is easy to understand, and the second type of ambush in the house can be divided into several situations. For example, there is hatred between the suspect and the deceased, and he enters the room to wait for an opportunity to commit crimes; or the suspect and the deceased are not familiar with each other and are stealing It was discovered in the process of trespassing, so he killed and fled. Whether these problems can be eliminated depends on our subsequent meticulous investigation work."

"understand!"

"Ye Qian!"

"Director Leng, tell me!"

"For the criminal police team to conduct investigations based on the deceased's relationship circle in the shortest possible time, the most important thing is to find out the situation of the five people who came to the scene of the crime tonight, otherwise there is no way to carry out the next step of analysis."

"Okay!" Ye Qian led the order to leave the crime scene.

Analysis, photography, extraction, autopsy, etc. After everything was done, it was already four in the morning. Before I had time to squint for a while, Ye Qian called and said that out of the five people who appeared at the crime scene that night, two of them ran away on their own initiative. Go to the compound of the criminal police team and explain the situation.Although the criminal police team had already made a transcript of the interviews for each of the two, to be on the safe side, Brother Ming still asked Ye Qian to bring them to the interrogation room of our department.

After drinking two cups of refreshing strong tea, the sleepiness was driven away a lot.At this time, two men, one fat and one thin, walked into the courtyard of the department accompanied by investigators.When the two walked into the yard, I noticed a detail. The hands of the two were not handcuffed, and they walked with great strides. They could not see any worry or fear. From this point, it can almost be concluded that the two of them are very likely Just an insider, not a suspect in the case.

Sure enough, the investigators reported that these two people also often deal with the public security organs, and they knew the seriousness of the matter. In order to clarify the relationship with this matter, they decided to take the initiative to explain the situation to the criminal police team.One of them, Chen Yonghao, understood the whole matter clearly, and Brother Ming was the first to bring him into the inquiry room.

four

Chen Yonghao, visually estimated to be 26 or 1.8 years old, with a cut head and a height of [-] meters, is as thin as a standing clothes rack.

"Sit down, rat!" After reading the transcript of the interrogation made by the criminal police team, the suspicion of the two of them can basically be ruled out, so Brother Ming called him by his nickname directly, and the atmosphere of the conversation was quite relaxed.

"Hey, good!"

"You also know the matter. Zhao Heizi is dead now. I hope you can cooperate with the work of our public security organs and tell all the things you know."

The mouse hurriedly stood up, nodded and bowed, and replied, "We must cooperate, we must cooperate!"

"Do you know Zhao Heizi?"

"Understood, he is famous in the casino."

"Oh? You talk about it."

"If you say that Zhao Heizi is lucky, and has a daughter who is a cash cow, or if he counts on himself, he probably won't even be able to drink porridge."

"Don't keep it up, just get to the point."

"Hey, hey!" Mouse bowed and said apologetically, "Zhao Heizi, whom I met in a casino six or seven years ago, is a very good gambler. Wherever there is a game, there is his shadow."

Regarding the casino, I have also learned about it sideways.Under the general situation of cracking down on gambling activities across the country, our Yunxi City Public Security Bureau has launched several special campaigns to ban gambling. Although the crackdown has been intensified repeatedly, gambling still occurs from time to time.

With the intensification of punishment, these so-called casinos have turned from bright to dark, some are lurking in private houses, some are hidden in hotel rooms, and some even build shacks in deep mountains and old forests to fight against the police station. Guerrilla warfare started.

According to legend, in our place, if you want to gamble, you must contact in advance, and the middleman will take you into the casino.Anyone who can enter the casino to gamble is almost a regular customer.In order to prevent being hit, the owners of these casinos hardly do business with strangers, which is an important reason why the gambling phenomenon cannot be extinct.

"Zhao Heizi is rich?" Brother Ming asked.

"He has a lot of money as a laid-off worker. It's not because his daughter is beautiful and works as a secretary for the boss in a real estate company. To put it bluntly, she is a mistress who is taken care of by others. But then again, his daughter is really capable. He was squeezed out, and he gave birth to a son for the boss. The boss is from the south, and he spent quite a lot of money. In our Yunxi City alone, he bought several houses for his daughter."

"How do you know these things?"

"Zhao Heizi told us personally."

"Go on."

"Zhao Heizi used to gamble heavily when he had money, but when he had no money he gambled lightly, and never gambled when he was short of money. Because of gambling, his wife and daughter all went to Shanghai in a fit of rage, leaving him here alone."

"What is Zhao Heizi's usual source of income?"

"His daughter will give him thousands of dollars a month for living expenses. When his daughter left, he left him several properties. Because the real estate certificate of the house is in his daughter's name, he cannot sell it, but rent it out. Earn some pocket money, and rely on the sky for the rest.”

"Relying on the sky?"

"Push Pai Gow and bet big or small in the arena, and it counts as much as you win."

"I've never heard of anyone who made his fortune from gambling!" Brother Ming sneered.

"Basically, the owner of the venue makes more money!" Mouse was honest.

"What capacity do you usually appear in the casino?"

"My brother Long Dan and I are both dukes in the field."

"The Ferryman?"

"Yes, it's the middleman. Some casino owners want to start a game, and they will contact us first, let us go to solicit customers to participate in gambling, and then give us a 5.00% tap."

"Why did you appear at the scene of the crime last night?" Brother Ming began to ask the most critical questions.

"For pumping water."

"Pumping?"

"Well. As the saying goes, nine out of ten bets lose. As long as it is a game of gambling, the owner of the casino will win in the end. Many gamblers will borrow paw money from the casino when they lose money. The interest on paw money is very high. The market price is 10 yuan a month and [-] yuan. Although the casino owner has a special collector, some gamblers hide around all day and it is difficult to find them, or they just find them and have no money to pay them back. So in our Yunxi City There is an unwritten rule in the gambling industry in China, as long as someone can provide clues to help the casino owner recover the gambling debt, he can get a [-]% commission."

"You showed up at the scene that night just for the [-]% pump?"

"Yes, this Zhao Heizi owes Uncle Bo 10 yuan in paw money."

"Who is Uncle Po?"

"Comrade policeman, I don't know if Zhao Heizi's killing this time has anything to do with Uncle Bo. I can't afford to offend you, I beg you here to keep it a secret for us."

"Okay, I promise you."

"Really?" Mouse still couldn't believe it.

"I am the leader here, and I mean what I say."

Hearing what Brother Ming said, the mouse's brows gradually relaxed: "Uncle Bo's name is Lu Haibo, he is in his 50s, 1.7 meters tall, and he opened a casino in Longlin Mountain. Zhao Heizi was in his casino more than a month ago. I borrowed 10 yuan of paw money from Li, and it has not been repaid. Just the day before yesterday, a buddy of mine told me that Zhao Heizi won 15 yuan in cash at another casino. Because I knew about his loss at Uncle Bo’s place , so I wondered if I could provide this information and help Uncle Bo get the money back, so that I could pump [-]% of the water. So I went to Uncle Po the night before, and Uncle Po sent Shanzai , and two other younger brothers, the five of us went to Zhao Heizi's house."

"What did you do after you went to Zhao Heizi's house?"

"When we arrived at the place, the door was closed, and no one spoke when we knocked on the door. Shanzi felt that he was embarrassed, so he asked his younger brother to take a crowbar, saying that he wanted to pry the door open. As a result, with a little force, the door opened , and then we found out that Zhao Heizi had been hacked to death at home."

"Do you know who Zhao Heizi's enemies are?"

"I don't know very well. I only know that he owes a lot of money to people outside, and he often visits casinos, and the people he contacts are also complicated. The only one I know is Uncle Bo."

"Do you think this has anything to do with Lu Haibo?"

The mouse frowned and thought: "Uncle Bo has more than a dozen younger brothers, and he is very rich. He probably wouldn't kill someone for 10 yuan. After all, the money was obtained by nothing... "

"That means Lu Haibo can be ruled out?"

"I don't think it's likely to be him."

It has to be said that Brother Ming's questioning skills have reached a considerable height.When investigating the scene, we already had a general judgment, combined with the investigation results of the criminal police team, the two people, Mouse and Dragon Egg, can basically be ruled out.Now that the suspicions have been ruled out, their identities have been directly transformed from criminal suspects to witnesses, and in order to get rid of their own suspicions, Mice speaks very sincerely, almost answering every question without concealing it.Letting a witness who is familiar with the situation actively analyze some possibilities is sometimes much simpler than our painstaking efforts to figure it out.

Brother Kua Ming, it is because this way of questioning needs special attention, and it does not work for everyone.This kind of interrogation technique can only be used after a comprehensive analysis of the testimony of witnesses, and his outstanding feature is that he can accurately figure out what the person being questioned will do after each sentence while asking questions. Inner acitivity.

"Then who do you think is more likely?" Brother Ming continued to ask.

"I suspect that after Zhao Heizi won 15 yuan, he was targeted by someone in the casino, and then entered his house to rob and kill him?"

"Then, which casino did Zhao Heizi win? You should know, right?"

"I know, I can ask you how many people gamble there."

"Really?" Ye Qian interjected excitedly.

If it is true that people in the casino did it, as the mouse said, we just need to find out the real identities of the players who participated in the game that night, and then search one by one in the surveillance area where the crime occurred. It can be locked as a suspect, no wonder Ye Qian is so excited.

"Okay, Ye Qian, you can ask about the next situation, and then make a detailed record, hurry up and let the criminal police investigate."

"understand!"

"Have you processed the physical evidence in hand?"

"Basically almost there!"

"Let's meet again after the investigation by the criminal police team comes out." As he spoke, Brother Ming raised his right wrist. "Rest for four hours. Let's go directly to the conference room at nine o'clock in the morning."

五

The deceased's network of relationships was intricate, and almost the entire criminal police team was mobilized. After fighting all night, they finally got a preliminary feedback at the scheduled time.

At nine o'clock, we all sat down at the round table in the meeting room on time with sleepiness. Brother Ming didn't rush to speak, but gave each of us a cigarette, and Ye Qian also brought a few cups of strong tea .After smoking a cigarette, I felt that my tiredness disappeared a lot. In order to hurry up, the four of us inserted the cigarette butts into the ashtray in front of us almost at the same time.

Crash, clatter, the sound of flipping pages of a notebook resounded in the meeting room.

When the meeting room was quiet again, Brother Ming looked up at Ye Qian who was sitting by the window: "Today Ye Qian will speak first."

Because the interrogation materials of Chen Yonghao (mouse) have already pointed out relatively clear suspects, and the investigation results of the criminal police team are related to the direction of the next analysis work. Brother Ming asked Ye Qian to speak first, in order to investigate all the suspects Target.

Ye Qian took a sip of the grass-green tea and moistened her throat: "In addition to the mouse and the dragon egg, there were three other people on the night of the crime. We have already checked the situation. The elevator monitoring shows that the five of them were in the police station before reporting the crime. Appeared at the door of the deceased within an hour."

"I also watched this video, and then I watched the surveillance video a month earlier, and found that these five people were at the scene of the crime for the first time that night." Fat Lei added.

"According to the autopsy, it can be basically determined that the time between the death of the deceased and the time of reporting the crime was about 24 hours apart, which means that the deceased was killed around eleven o'clock the night before. If these five people came to the deceased's home for the first time, then They don't have the time to commit crimes." Brother Ming analyzed.

"I have checked all the monitoring in the community, and I can basically confirm it." Fat Lei said with certainty.

"Then the suspicion of these five people is basically ruled out." Brother Ming recorded this key point.

Ye Qian went on to say: "According to the clues provided by the mouse, we found another casino owner. According to his statement, Zhao Heizi did win 15 in cash in his casino around nine o'clock that night. Then he answered a phone call and left with cash. Because there were not many people in the casino that night, the casino owner told us with certainty that when Zhao Heizi left, everyone in the casino was playing in the venue, and no one People have left. Surveillance is installed around the casino, and the surveillance is facing the door.”

Fat Lei took up the conversation again: "Ye Qian also passed on this monitoring to me. It is true that Zhao Heizi was not followed by anyone when he left. He left alone."

"When Zhao Heizi left the casino, how did he take the 15 cash away?" Brother Ming meant very clearly, he wanted to find someone with something. "Finding people with things" is the most commonly used investigation method. Taking this case as an example, if Zhao Heizi used a special box to store cash with special identifiable features (brand logo, color, style, etc.), the The box can be used as a clue to trace down.

"It's just an ordinary black plastic bag, basically without any characteristic points."

"Ye Qian, where is the place where Zhao Heizi gambled last time?"

"In a private house at the entrance of the tunnel."

"It's very close to the scene of the crime. The deceased left the scene at nine o'clock. Judging from the scene, he was killed as soon as he returned home. Have you figured out his whereabouts in the past two hours?"

"There are no findings at this time."

"Ye Qian, do you have anything else to introduce?" Fat Lei raised his head and asked.

"temporarily unavailable."

"Brother Ming, let me tell you something, because I discovered something while observing and monitoring."

"Oh? Then tell me quickly."

Fat Lei opened his notebook and sent each of us a somewhat blurry surveillance screenshot.The scene shown in the photo is a well-dressed middle-aged woman holding a man's arm. The movements of the two seem very intimate. If you observe carefully, you will find that this man is the deceased Zhao Heizi.

"The community where the deceased lived was very crowded. Although the surveillance coverage was very high, there was still no way to find out. In addition, it was very late when the crime happened, so it was very difficult to distinguish, so there was no way to find out in a short time. Screening. I accidentally clicked on this video. Through surveillance, I found that this woman had visited the deceased’s home several times within a month. On the 28th of last month, this woman was still at Zhao Heizi’s home Stay overnight, and early the next morning, the two of them held hands and went out to buy breakfast."

"Brother Lei, do you mean that the deceased may have gone to find this woman during the two hours after he left the casino?" I seemed to understand what he meant.

"Even if I didn't look for it, I feel that this case is inseparable from this woman."

"Jiao Lei, go back and develop a few clear photos and ask Ye Qian to send them to the brothers in the criminal police team. We must find out the situation of this person."

"Okay!" Fat Lei and Ye Qian said in unison.

"Is there anything else to add about video surveillance?"

"Because the time is relatively short, I still have a lot of videos that I haven't watched, and there are only so many for the time being."

"Okay, then let me talk about it." Brother Ming took the words, "The time of death determined by the autopsy was around 11 o'clock the night before yesterday. The deadly wounds of the deceased were distributed on the left neck. It was the kitchen knife beside the deceased, and according to the identification of the deceased’s daughter, this kitchen knife belonged to the deceased’s family, that is to say, the tools used by the suspect were obtained locally.”

"There was no resistance wound on the body of the deceased. It is very likely that the suspect slashed at the neck of the deceased before he fully reacted. I can only provide so much information here. Xiaolong, Guoxian, the two of you Who will come first?" Brother Ming looked up at me and Lao Xian who had the most information in front of him, and asked.

"Brother Xian, let me introduce you first."

六

"I only extracted one kind of biological material at the scene, and that was the blood of the deceased."

This sentence made me stressed.

"However, the distribution of bloodstains in this room can illustrate a problem."

"what is the problem?"

"Through the distribution of bloodstains, I can basically restore the suspect's entire crime history."

"The whole process of committing the crime?" Lao Xian usually has the same expression no matter what he says or does. He can calm down, but I am extremely anxious.

"First of all, I extracted a blood spot on the main switch of the electric meter box in Zhao Heizi's home, and there was a lot of blood."

"That is to say, after killing the deceased, the suspect touched the main power switch in the deceased's home?" After hearing this sentence, I simply had an epiphany.

"Correct."

"According to this, the suspect turned off the main power supply in the deceased's house in advance, and after killing the deceased, he turned on the main power supply again, so that's why there was blood on the main switch?"

"Yes."

"The suspect must first arrive at the deceased's home and make preparations. From this we can analyze that the suspect must have ambushed in the deceased's home in advance!"

"should be."

"I extracted Zhao Heizi's fresh fingerprints on the light switch at the door, so the situation at that time should be that the deceased entered the house and raised his hand to press the light switch at the door, but the main power in the house was turned off, and the deceased was wearing shoes and felt in the dark. I walked into the house to check, and at this moment, the suspect who was ambushing in the house took advantage of his unpreparedness and slashed at his neck with a knife." According to the reminder of Lao Xian, I deduced the whole incident.

"But in the dark, how could the suspect act so quickly?" Ye Qian was a little puzzled.

"Although he is in a dark room, the suspect's eyes can see clearly."

"What? No way?"

"Haven't you ever noticed that when we turn off the lights at night, at first it's pitch black, and we can't see anything for a while, but after a while, we can see things in the house again?"

"It seems... yes." Ye Qian nodded.

"This is a phenomenon in which the eye adapts to a dark environment, called dark adaptation."

"Dark adaptation?"

"Let me explain this." Mingo opened the mouth, "The human retina has cone cells and rod cells: the cone cells are mainly distributed in the macular area, and the rod cells are distributed in the retina outside the macular area; the cone cells can only sense strong Light stimulation, while rod cells are sensitive to low light, that is to say, seeing things at night or in a dark environment mainly depends on rod cells. Why do rod cells have dark vision function? This is because rod cells Contains a substance that senses low light—rhodopsin, which is composed of vitamin A and opsin. Under strong light, rhodopsin decomposes. Therefore, when suddenly entering a dark place from strong light, cone cells lose their function , the rod cells need to re-synthesize the decomposed rhodopsin, and this synthesis process is the process of dark adaptation, which usually takes several minutes."

"The suspect entered the room ahead of time and turned off the main switch. He had already completed the synthesis of rhodopsin in a dark environment, so he could see clearly the situation inside the house."

"There is a strong light in the corridor on Zhao Heizi's living floor. As I said just now, under the strong light, the rhodopsin in his eyes decomposes. When he enters the dark room, because the rhodopsin needs to be synthesized, he In a state of temporary blindness, the suspect should be the one who took advantage of this moment to kill."

"It seems that this suspect is really unusual!" Ye Qian sighed.

"Guoxian, go on."

Lao Xian opened another report: "I extracted the blood of the deceased from indoor balconies, windows, cabinets, drawers and other places, but according to the blood test results on the spot, the blood in these places is relatively thin, so I suspect The suspect may have washed the blood stains on his hands after turning on the power switch. I also extracted a red towel on the floor of the bathroom, and I extracted three substances from the towel."

"Three?"

"Yes." Lao Xian flicked the ash into the ashtray, "The first type is the blood of the deceased, the second type is ordinary sand and soil particles, and the last type has more complicated ingredients."

"complex?"

"I extracted a lot of shellac, pure benzene, rubber, ethanol and other ingredients on it."

"What are these things for?"

"If we dissolve shellac in ethanol, we can obtain a brown transparent solution after filtration, and then dissolve rubber in benzene, and mix the two solutions in equal volumes, so that we can get a commonly used item in our life."

"Common items?"

"Yes, leather varnish is used to color or increase the brightness of leather clothes. If you need black, you can use aniline black, for yellow, you can use oil to dissolve yellow, for red, you can use oil to dissolve red, and so on."

"Sand, gravel, dirt, leather varnish, blood...Brother Xian, you mean that the suspect left these three substances on the towel after he wiped it with a bathroom towel after killing someone?"

Lao Xian nodded: "The towel I extracted was originally clean, and the analysis should be a face towel. The suspect must have taken it here and used it. It is easy to understand the presence of these three substances. The suspect wiped his shoes and towels with the towel. Clothes. There is obvious aniline black on the towel, so I analyzed that the suspect should have been wearing a black leather jacket when committing the crime."

Fat Lei hurriedly recorded this detail in his notebook. This key point has a very important direction for the follow-up video investigation work.

"That's all I have for now. Xiaolong, tell me."

Seven

I looked down at the report, and after clearing my mind, I said, "I extracted three kinds of traces on the scene: pry marks on the door, glove prints and shoe prints. According to Ye Qian's feedback, the pry marks are basically If it can be ruled out, then there are only glove prints and shoe prints left. Let me talk about glove prints first."

"All the gloves at the scene were printed with line-shaped scratch marks. I infer that the gloves worn by the suspect are made of a very special material. Based on the measurement results of the line marks, I can basically conclude that he is killing people." Wearing cut-resistant gloves."

"Are they police cut-resistant gloves?" Cut-resistant gloves, as the name suggests, are gloves to prevent cuts. They are equipped in our police equipment, so Ye Qian has such a question.

"The main components of this type of glove are high-strength and high-modulus polyethylene fiber, coated glass fiber, spandex or steel wire, but there are many types of cut-resistant gloves on the market, and the specific components depend on the composition." Lao Xian pushed his glasses and added.

"Brother Xian is right. I had preconceived that they were police cut-resistant gloves. Later, after comparison and inspection, I found that the lines and traces formed by the gloves worn by the suspect were very irregular. It is very imprecise, and the anti-cutting nets are not arranged neatly, so they should be defective products produced by small workshops. This kind of defective products are sold everywhere on Taobao, and they are only tens of yuan a pair, which has no direction.”

"It's not that it's not targeted at all. We can infer the suspect's motive for committing the crime from this."

"Brother Ming, what do you mean...?"

"During the investigation of the scene, I carefully observed the distribution of bloodstains on the scene, and there was no whitening phenomenon."

As the saying goes, laymen watch the fun, and experts watch the way. When Ye Qian was still blinking her eyes and waiting for Brother Ming to explain, the rest of us almost already knew the purpose of Brother Ming's words.

The cause of death of the deceased was a carotid artery cut with a sharp instrument. During the killing process, due to the blood pressure of the arteries, the suspect would definitely cause blood to splash around.When blood is splashed in the air, the amount of blood is large at close range and small at a long distance, and a scattered blood pattern will be formed on the splashed object.If an object is removed on this scattering pattern, the blood stained on the object will also be removed, which will cause a blank space where there should be blood. We call this blood pattern not The continuous situation is the phenomenon of white blood.

According to the investigation, we learned that the deceased had won 15 yuan in cash in the casino two hours before the murder, so the suspect’s motives for committing the crime can be divided into two types. The second is directly aimed at this life.

Let's analyze them one by one.The deceased was a gambler, and his desire for money was much stronger than that of ordinary people. If he took the 15 yuan in cash home, he would definitely hold the cash tightly in his hands.He is not left-handed, and his right hand is the right hand. When he gets home, he should hold the key in his right hand to open the door, and the plastic bag containing the cash should be held in his left hand. Zhao Heizi's fatal injury happened to be on the left side, so the suspect is in the house. During the killing process, there will definitely be a lot of blood stains on the plastic bags.If the suspect took away the 15 yuan in cash after committing the crime, the blood stains on the scene would definitely be white. From this point alone, we can conclude that the deceased did not take the money home that night, but The suspect's initial motive for committing the crime is likely to be murder rather than property infringement.

"I've checked the surveillance. When the deceased entered the house, he was indeed empty-handed." Fat Lei's words directly turned the assumption into an objective fact.

Brother Ming nodded: "As far as the current situation is concerned, the suspect is very thoughtful about committing the crime. He was afraid that the deceased would resist and hurt himself during the murder, so he chose to wear anti-cut gloves. This is what he did for the murder. Prepare."

"We all know that leather clothing has poor permeability. The suspect was wearing leather clothing. After the blood was splashed on it, it was easy to wipe it off with a towel. This was his preparation for fleeing the scene."

"In addition, let's take a look at the crime tool used by the suspect - the kitchen knife in the deceased's home."

"Is there still something to say here?" I murmured in my heart.

"It's the beginning of spring now. Although the clothes of the winter have been reduced a lot, some elderly people still wear relatively thick clothes. When the deceased was killed, he was wearing four pieces of clothes on his upper body. In this case, if you choose Stabbing with a dagger may not necessarily kill the deceased. Moreover, we have come to the conclusion that the suspect killed the deceased the moment he entered the house. To accurately grasp this time point, it is most appropriate to start with the carotid artery According to our dressing habits, unless we wear a scarf, no matter how thick the upper body is, the neck is usually exposed. Cutting the neck with a kitchen knife can basically kill you with one knife. But the kitchen knife is not convenient to carry, so the suspect chooses From these points, it is not difficult for us to analyze that the murderer made thorough and meticulous preparations before committing the crime, that is to say, his original motive was more inclined to kill." Brother Ming made a perfect analysis.

"If this is the case, then there must be some kind of hatred between the suspect and the deceased, and it is very likely that an acquaintance committed the crime!"

"I agree with Ye Qian's opinion, because I still have something to discover."

"Okay, Xiaolong, you continue."

"The deceased lived on the 29th floor of a high-rise building, and he could not climb at all. The total height of this building is 33 floors, the top floor is sealed, and there is no possibility of hanging from the roof to enter the room. The way the suspect entered the room The only way to enter is through the door. I have carefully observed the lock cylinder of the door, and there are no other signs of prying, so I suspect that the way the suspect entered was through the soft door."

"Soft entry?"

"Yes, this is an academic term. Soft entry is actually a general term for non-violent entry into a room. Usually, it includes shouting, knocking, waiting, following, or opening the door with a key. We now know that the suspect first entered the room to ambush The deceased, the only way for him to enter is with a key. Let's think about it, how can the suspect have the key to the deceased's house?"

"You mean that the relationship between the suspect and the deceased is very close—could she be the suspect who killed the deceased?" Ye Qian pointed to the middle-aged woman in the photo and said.

"The suspect is not her!" I shook my head.

"Not her?"

"Yes, you will know after I analyze the shoe prints."

Eight

"There is only one kind of shoe print at the scene, size 41. The pattern on the sole is very clear, and the overall pattern is zigzag. I divided the pattern of the entire shoe into three parts: the forefoot, the middle waist, and the backfoot for analysis."

"The forefoot, which is the position of the toe, has six raised herringbone lines at this position. This line is similar to a series of standing larger than size, and the lines cross each other to form a diamond-shaped pattern. The spacing between the lines is 6 mm, and the length of the entire forefoot pattern is 107 mm."

"The mid-waist, which is the position of the arch of the foot. The mid-waist pattern is composed of thin straight lines inclined to the left and right in three equal parts, with an included angle of 30 degrees. The middle is the factory logo area, marked with the factory number of the manufacturer, and the length is 65 mm. .”

"The back palm, which is the position of the heel, connects with the middle waist and forms a diamond-shaped grid. There are three herringbone lines in the middle, each with a width of 7 mm."

"What do these data show?"

"It means that the suspect is wearing Jiefang shoes."

"Aren't Jiefang shoes everywhere?" Ye Qian was a little puzzled.

"He is wearing military liberation shoes, not the ones sold on the market. Military shoes have a uniform design and are produced according to uniform standards and drawings. Although there are many manufacturers of this kind of shoes, the internal quality, appearance, and specifications of the shoes The size and sole pattern are almost identical. In the process of making shoes, the military factory produces them according to the standards of the Military Supplies Production Management Department of the General Logistics Department. This kind of shoes are labor shoes according to the national standard, so it goes from the government to the army , Regardless of cadres, soldiers, men and women, they are all distributed and worn."

"Jiefang shoes have been remodeled many times since the 60s and 1985s. During this period, the soles were changed from the traditional adhesive type to the molded type, but after a short period of time, they were changed back, and the adhesive type has been used until now. In [-], the General Military Supply Production Management Department issued a new standard to replace the old standard. I found the production number at the mid-waist position of the shoe print, and coupled with the measured data, I can analyze that the shoes worn by the suspect The shoes are [-]-style Jiefang cloth shoes."

"As you said just now, this kind of shoes are widely used. There must be more than one person wearing this kind of shoes in the market. It's very difficult to sort them out." Ye Qian expressed her troubles.

"You are wrong. Because the production technology at that time was not up to the mark, the soles were very hard and uncomfortable to wear, so this kind of shoes were no longer produced many years ago. Now the military liberation shoes look much better, even if If there is an imitation version, the merchants will not be so stupid as to imitate such an old style."

"Are the [-]-style Jiefang shoes you're talking about the oldest military green cloth shoes?" Fat Lei asked.

Although these details do not play a big role in the investigation of the criminal police team, their role in video analysis is self-evident.After all, in this year when face is more important than life, if a person wears a pair of old-fashioned green Jiefang shoes, he will definitely be regarded as a different kind.

"Yes, green fabric upper, with a half-crescent shaped rubber toecap at the toe."

"Colloidal toe cap? The suspect wiped his shoes with a towel after committing the crime. In this way, the position of the toe cap should be very reflective..." Fat Lei muttered to himself.

"Have you found anything else?" Brother Ming asked.

"Through the analysis of the shoe print data, I found out that the suspect is a male, about 1.7 meters tall, of medium build, and about 40 years old. I extracted the suspect's glove prints on the indoor balcony windows and furniture, indicating that after committing the crime, he Windows were opened and contents of the deceased's home were rummaged through."

"Combined with the inference just now, the suspect may have opened the window to maintain air circulation, so that even if the corpse decays, the neighbors around will not be aware of it in a short time, and flipping through the property is basically stealing the sheep." I said in a breath. Out of all my inferences.

Brother Ming also stopped writing at the same time: "Now we have basically grasped some basic characteristics of the suspect: a man in his 40s, wearing a black leather jacket on his upper body, and a pair of [-]-style army green liberation clothes on his feet." Shoes, familiar with the deceased, and keys to the deceased’s home. There are two aspects of work that need to be carried out.”

"Ye Qian, hurry up and ask the criminal police team to investigate the identity information of the woman in the photo, and focus on finding out whether the woman has any family or emotional entanglements. Judging from the evidence we have so far, the possibility of love murder cannot be ruled out."

"Okay, Director Leng."

"Jiao Lei, according to the analysis of the suspect's clothing characteristics, hurry up and conduct a video collision. With such a clear conclusion, it shouldn't be difficult to find the suspect."

"It's a piece of cake!" Fat Lei snapped his fingers.

"Okay, let's act separately now."

nine

Fat Lei really lived up to expectations, and it only took one night to find the suspect from the surveillance video of the community, but when we saw the screenshot of the video processed by Fat Lei, all of us reacted in three words. To sum it up - it's useless.The suspect was wearing a lot of masks and hats, and the video was not very clear, even if there were screenshots, it would be useless.

In this case, if we want to start from the video, we can only conduct extended video tracking [6], but this requires a lot of time and energy, unless it is absolutely necessary or there is a clear goal, it will not be done under normal circumstances.

Although Fat Lei had entered a dead end here, good news came from Ye Qian's side. The woman who often went in and out of the community with the deceased was found to be on her way.In just a few cigarettes, a well-dressed middle-aged woman was led into the department's inquiry room.

The woman is about 1.6 meters tall, and she is wearing mink velvet in cold weather, and the pair of "heavenly heights" on her feet are particularly eye-catching. Although her ID card shows that she is fifty-two this year, the "glamour" still exists. It's not an exaggeration to use this word on her.

"Bai Xue, Zhao Heizi is dead, do you know about this?" Brother Ming cut to the chase.

"I know, I know!" Bai Xue nodded tremblingly.

"What's your relationship with Zhao Heizi?"

"Ordinary friendship."

"Can ordinary friends spend the night together?" Probably because of staying up late for several days in a row, Brother Ming got a little angry.

"Love... lover relationship." After being yelled at by Brother Ming, Bai Xue became more honest.

"Tell me about your family situation!"

"I'm the only one in my family. I divorced my husband ten years ago, and the child was awarded to him." Bai Xue's tone was tinged with sadness.

"Have you been in touch with your ex-husband over the years?"

"He has re-established his family and the only connection between us is that I go to see the children every year."

"Do you know Zhao Heizi's family situation?"

"I know, he has a family and a courtyard. I'm with him just to get some money from him." Bai Xue was sincere.

"Besides, have you ever had emotional entanglements with anyone else?"

"There are quite a few, but they basically want my body. They will definitely not kill people because Zhao Heizi slept with me. You can rest assured about this, police officer. After all, I am already old. Who will Am I sincere?" Bai Xue laughed at herself.

"Maybe there is or maybe it is."

Bai Xue shook his head lightly, feeling disillusioned: "Since my ex-husband suspected me of cheating and kicked me off, there have been at least three digits of men who have slept with me. The only difference between me and a bitch is that I am more clingy than them." , The bitch sold out, patted her ass and left, and I still pestered those men to buy me this and that, and it was too late for my man to hide from me, how could he kill someone for me? This is simply a big joke. "

"Did Zhao Heizi look for you the night he was killed?" Seeing that her mood was a little unstable, Brother Ming quickly changed the subject.

"Find me."

"Tell me carefully how you met Zhao Heizi and what happened that night."

"As long as I have two coins in hand, I like to go to the venue to play a few games. At that time, I met Zhao Heizi. After chatting with him a few times, I felt that although this person is careless, he is very sincere. He Not so good to others, but not so bad to me."

"When I slept with him for the first time, he gave me 1 yuan. No man has ever been so generous to me. Later, because of him, I broke contact with other men. This way, I can I got a lot of benefits from him; on the other hand, I also want to live a comfortable life with peace of mind. In this way, the two of us are together every day, and Zhao Heizi trusts me very much after a long time."

"The night he was murdered, around 09:30, he took a bag of money and handed it to me, asking me to hide it for him. Because he owed gambling debts outside, he didn't want the creditor to take the money back .”

"If you don't return it, the creditor won't take it?" I was a little curious.

"Of course I will. But the paw money owed in the casino is simply a number. If you don't pay it after a long time, the creditor will ask you for less if you have no choice. People who often go to casinos know it, so Zhao Heizi said Let me hide the money first and spend it later."

"how much is the total?"

"15 whole."

"Where is the money now?"

"Still at my house."

"What happened after that?"

"I went to the street to buy some stewed vegetables, and he drank a bottle of beer at my house, and then the two of us went back to bed, and he went home."

"What stewed vegetables did you buy tonight?"

"Pork head meat."

In the process of autopsy, examining the contents of the deceased's stomach is a must-do examination, so Brother Ming asked this question.

"Do you recognize this person?" Brother Ming took out a screenshot of the surveillance video and handed it over.

Bai Xue looked at it carefully, then shook his head: "I haven't seen it, I don't know it."

Brother Ming took back the photo.

"Ye Qian!"

"Director Leng, tell me."

"Notify the brothers in the criminal police team to bring Bai Xue together and check carefully according to what she said. I'll wait for your results."

"clear."

The deceased's social relations were checked, and there were no contradictions.Surveillance video with screenshots of the suspect could not identify the suspect's physical features at all.If there were no discrepancies in Bai Xue's statement, then the case was basically back to the original point.

After a whole day of investigation, Bai Xue didn't lie, this news undoubtedly added to the disaster for me.Now the deceased's relationship circle has basically been checked, and there is no clue.The result of the interview was more inclined that the suspect was not familiar with the deceased, but if the murderer was someone outside the deceased's life circle, where did he get the key?What is the purpose of killing the dead?These unsolvable puzzles one after another haunt each of us like a curse.

Ten

In order to solve the mystery, Brother Ming immediately launched the re-survey plan. We chose to go to the crime scene again during the day when the light was the best.

One o'clock in the afternoon is the most deserted time of the day in the green shade community, because this point happens to be the lunch break time, so our arrival did not arouse the surrounding residents' onlookers.

Just as the five of us changed into our survey suits and were about to walk into the corridor of the unit, my eyes suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"What the hell?" I subconsciously blocked my eyes with my hands.

"Someone is using a mirror to reflect light!" Fat Lei was the first to react.

"Is it a prank?" Because it was too dazzling, I subconsciously walked into the corridor of the unit, and other people followed.

"Still flashing!" Ye Qian said, pointing to the high-rise building opposite.

"How many times did it flash just now?" Fat Lei squinted his eyes and looked up.

I rubbed my eyes and replied: "I don't know, I just covered my eyes too much!"

"Could it be a distress signal? Could something happen?" Fat Lei squeezed his chin a little worried.

"SOS? SOS?"

"That's what I'm worried about!"

"Isn't that signal 'three shorts, three longs and three shorts'? It seems that this beam of light has not been so many times?" I was not sure in my heart, and I spoke a little vaguely.

"The light should come from the corridor on the 6nd floor of Building 22. To be on the safe side, let's go and have a look."

Brother Ming gave an order, and several of us carried the survey equipment and walked along the path between the buildings to the place where the light was emitted.This is the fire escape on the easternmost floor, and the end of the passage is the stairwell.

"The dust on the ground is very complete. There is only one kind of shoe print, size 42, men's Nike shoes, and the footprints are very messy. This person once paced back and forth here, and the steps were very short, indicating that he must be in a hurry at that time." I looked down. Glancing at the ground, he spoke.

"Jiao Lei, fix the shoe prints with a camera. Xiaolong, come closer and have a look."

I took a few steps to the half-open window: "There are large pieces of floating ash scratches on the iron railing of the corridor. Someone once lay down here. From here, we can just see our survey vehicle." Brother Ming followed me. I glanced at the direction of the finger.

"Could it be that this person asked us for help when he saw that we were all wearing police uniforms?" Ye Qian raised a hypothesis.

"He can pace back and forth here, and he can hit the reflector, which shows that his hands and feet are not under control, and there are only his shoe prints here, and there is no second person at all. What will happen to this person that we need to rescue ?” I couldn’t figure out the question.

"Could it be that I'm thinking too much?" Fat Lei scratched his head apologetically.

"I think it's probably a child's prank!" Ye Qian also relaxed her vigilance.

"Forget it, as long as it's okay, let's go to the re-survey site first!" Brother Ming also agreed with my analysis conclusion and waved at us.

The sound of our footsteps gradually drifted away, and we didn't know that when the elevator door we were carrying closed, a man slowly came out from behind the wooden door in the stairwell, holding a cold long gun tightly in his hand, which meant Looking deeply at the direction where we disappeared, he muttered to himself: "Department of Mortuary Investigation, I really don't know if you will be so lucky next time."

"It's said that the eyes are small and the SOS is returned, thank you for thinking of it!" A few of us came to the center scene talking and laughing.

When we stood at the entrance of this room again, the relaxed and happy mood disappeared immediately. Leaving aside the episode just now, a more cruel reality is still waiting for us.The case needs to be sorted out again. If you want to find new clues, you can only seek them from the re-examination scene.

A house of more than 100 square meters was divided into more than [-] small areas on Mingo's reconnaissance drawings, and the blood-intensive key areas were marked with asterisks.After confirming the division of labor, I, as the trace inspector, pushed open the anti-theft door at the crime scene again.

The re-survey work was not as smooth as we had imagined. We worked from the sun to the sun, and we hardly gained anything.

"Let's go!" Brother Ming said these two words with difficulty.

The re-examination site has not made any progress, which means that the case is likely to be closed.boom!The door was slammed shut by me.

"Let's go back and think about it. Is there anything we haven't thought about!" Fat Lei patted me on the shoulder.

Whenever this time, my heart is the most heavy.Reluctantly, I picked up the investigation box, raised my head and glanced at the door of the crime scene, and just as the four of them walked into the elevator room, I discovered an abnormality.

I shouted a little excitedly: "Brother Ming!"

"What's wrong?" Hearing my shout, the four of them walked out of the elevator again.

"Look, there's something wrong with this door!" I said, pointing to the New Year pictures posted on the door.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Brother Ming quickened his pace.

"This should be the New Year picture posted during the Chinese New Year. Look at the two characters 'Fu' on both sides, they are all pasted upside down!"

"We all have this habit here, 'Fu Dao', 'Fu Dao', posting upside down is the homonym of 'Fu Dao', for auspiciousness, what's the point?" Fat Lei shook his head, not knowing that I sold it in a gourd. what medicine.

"Yes. But look at the big '福' posted in the middle of the door."

"Don't tell me I really didn't pay attention, why is this picture posted right up?"

"There are still traces of secondary adhesive tape!" I added, pointing to the corner of the word 'Fu'.

"You mean, the word 'Fu' has been torn off?" For Brother Ming, many questions don't need too much explanation.

"Judging from the floating ash on the adhesive tape, it should have just been torn off."

"Do you suspect that the New Year painting was torn apart by the suspect?"

"Correct!"

"Why did he tear up the New Year pictures? What does this have to do with the case?"

"You'll know if you tear it apart!"

Ye Qian dubiously tore open the "Fu" New Year picture which took up half the size of the door. At this moment, the loose "cat's eye" on the door caught our attention.

"Sure enough, it's just as I guessed!" I excitedly raised the strong light and aimed it at the cat's eyes.

"What did you guess?"

"The suspect's unlocking method!"

"Didn't you say he opened the lock with a key?"

"That was an inference before, but it is no longer the case. His real way of unlocking the lock is through the cat's eye."

eleven
"What? Cat's eye lock?" Except for me, none of them know much about this method of unlocking.

"Look, this cat's eye has obviously been moved!" As I said that, I shook my hand vigorously twice, and the cat's eye that was still inserted in the door was pulled out easily by me: "Obviously, the cat's eye It has been removed."

"Ok!"

"And look at the tape marks on the door." Everyone followed my fingertips to look at the black rectangular spot on the door.

"From the posted traces, we can see that the original position of the New Year picture should be below the cat's eye, and it did not block the cat's eye. The suspect may have been too hasty in the process of committing the crime, and did not have time to reinstall the cat's eye, but He was also afraid that we would see through his method of opening the door, so he tore off the New Year picture and put it in the cat's eye, but accidentally pasted the New Year picture right, revealing a flaw."

"But how did the suspect unlock it through the cat's eye?" Ye Qian has always been impatient.

I put the strong light on the cat's eye again: "Have you noticed that there are many 'concave' shaped indentations on the cat's eye?"

"Yes, there are quite a few!"

"This is the trace left by twisting the cat's eye with professional cat's eye pliers. First unscrew the cat's eye, then use a special 'L'-shaped tool to go deep into the hole, and use the other end of the tool to withstand the handle on the inside of the door , as long as you press down slightly, the door can be opened."

"Could the suspect be a professional lockpicker?" Ye Qian's eyes widened.

"Even if he's not a locksmith, he knows the trade pretty well."

"Xiaolong, how did you make this 'L' shaped tool?" Fat Lei frowned.

"The length of the tool should be determined by the position of the door lock, and it should be easy to carry, so usually such a tool is assembled, a few small iron rods, screwed together with a screw cap in the middle, and it can be made."

"Can you be sure of your judgment?"

"Brother Lei, let me study it more carefully!" After being told by Fat Lei, I was at a loss.Then I removed the entire peephole, and the hole where the peephole is installed is just two sheets of iron. As long as something exerts force on it, the iron sheet will curl up in the hole.

"There are traces of curling on the inside and outside of the door, and they are in a straight line." Then I opened the door, "There are fresh indentations on the handle of the lock inside the door. I can be sure that the unlocking method used by the suspect It's the cat's eye lock."

"That is to say, the focus of our next work is to search out the type of people who can open locks from the deceased's relationship circle?" Ye Qian stood aside and began to think about new clues to solve the case.

"Xiaolong, there is something urgent that I need to confirm again, let's hurry back to work." Fat Lei's expression was quite serious.

The crime scene was sealed again, and we rushed back to the department almost non-stop.Before I could even put down the survey box in my hand, I was dragged into his office by Fat Lei.To figure out what was going on, others followed suit.

As soon as Fat Lei entered the door, he pressed the power button on the main computer case.With a burst of boot music, a desktop unique to the XP system appeared in front of us.The desktop is densely packed with various files. Fat Lei moved the mouse, clicked on an AVI video file named "The Murder Suspect Enters the Door in the Green Shade Community", and began to introduce: "According to Xiaolong's analysis, there are also old sages. The suspect’s clothes were provided, and the suspect was found. This is the image of the suspect’s entry taken by the camera at the east gate of the community. We can clearly observe from the picture that the suspect did not hold anything with both hands when he entered the community. "

After Fat Lei finished speaking, he clicked on another video: "This is a video of the suspect leaving the community after committing the crime. His hands were empty and there was nothing there. According to Xiaolong's analysis, the suspect used professional cat's eye pliers and assembled locks tools, how do you explain this?"

"Could it be that the suspect has an internal response in the community?" My face became quite ugly, and I raised this hypothesis without any confidence.

When we had a heated discussion about why this happened, Brother Ming stared at the screen without speaking. His eyes never moved away from the screen until the sound of our discussion faded away.

I thought he was in a daze, and tentatively called out: "Brother Ming?"

"Jiao Lei, is there any surveillance in the elevator?" When Brother Ming asked this question, his expression became a lot more relaxed. It is estimated that he has made some important discovery.

"The suspect deliberately avoided the monitoring of the elevator when committing the crime, and used the stairs before and after committing the crime."

"Yes, I found the suspect's footprints going up and down the stairs in the stairwell." I added.

"I have conducted a detailed inspection of all the stairs in the entire building from the first floor to the top floor, and found no biological evidence such as saliva spots or nasal mucus spots." Lao Xian also made a concluding speech.

We all thought that Brother Ming was reminding us to ignore the investigation of the peripheral site, but in fact we didn't find anything in the peripheral site.

"I followed you when you surveyed the corridor, that's not what I meant."

"Isn't that what you mean?" I was a little confused.

"Jiao Lei, is this the only part of the surveillance video that recorded the suspect alone?" Brother Ming didn't answer my question, but continued to "torture" Fat Lei.

"These are the two clearest videos."

"Okay, choose a reference point, and use the cutout tool to cut out the photos of the suspect in the two videos."

"Then I'll use the gate as a reference point and take two screenshots."

"Okay, as soon as possible!" Brother Ming gave up his seat to Fat Lei.

Pat, clack!The clicking of the mouse and the clicking of the keyboard echoed one after another in the office.

"It's done!" Soon, Fat Lei placed the two photos in a folder.

"Scale according to the same proportion!"

"it is good!"

"Did you find any problems?" Brother Ming pointed to the abdomen of the suspect in the two photos with his index finger and middle finger respectively.

Ye Qian's eyes were almost glued to the computer screen: "The photo when I entered the door seems to be a little fatter!"

"Yes, when I watched the two videos, I found that the suspect's whole body changed when he entered and exited the door!"

Brother Ming's forensic technology can be ranked in the top ten in the entire Wannan Province. Fat Lei once joked that Brother Ming can analyze the cause of death just by looking at the characteristics of the corpse.After these years of practice, I found that Fat Lei's words are not at all watery, and observing the nuances of a person's physical characteristics is easy for Brother Ming.

"By zooming in so much, I can barely see it. Brother Ming's eyes are not ordinary!" Fat Lei admired him with all his eyes.

Brother Ming didn't have time to joke, and said with a serious expression: "When the suspect entered the community, his abdomen was a little swollen, but when he left the community, his entire abdomen became much flatter. So I suspect that the suspect opened the door before committing the crime. The tool was stuffed in the leather jacket, and after the murder, he left the tool in the neighborhood."

"Could it be thrown directly in the trash can?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

"Ye Qian."

"Yes, Director Leng."

"Contact the property of the community and check all the staff responsible for dumping the garbage that day, and make sure to determine the whereabouts of the tools used to commit the crime."

"clear."

"Guoxian, if you can find the lockpicking tool, can you extract relevant biological samples?" Brother Ming asked with some uncertainty.

The corner of Laoxian's mouth raised: "Xiaolong just said that this tool needs to be assembled to complete. If the suspect assembled it by hand, tissue cells would fall off. I should be able to extract some biological samples from the screw knob!"

"Good!" Brother Ming gave a thumbs up.

Because this homicide case is related to the vital interests of the residents of the community, the investigation work is progressing quite smoothly, and the staff of the property are fully cooperating with the investigation work.After half a day of searching, none of the cleaning staff found similar tools in the trash can.This news was fed back to our department as soon as possible.

"Could it be that the suspect lost it somewhere in the neighborhood?" When I heard the result, my face became quite ugly.If this is the case, it will be too difficult to find it. The community is so big, where should I find it?

After hearing the news, Brother Ming did not show a embarrassed expression like me, but calmly took out his mobile phone and pressed a series of numbers: "Hello, is the police dog base? I am from the technical office of the Municipal Bureau. We have a case here that requires your cooperation..."

How about explaining that brother is our backbone? When I heard the words "police dog base", I already understood his intention.Police dogs are also widely used in our on-site investigations. Its main function is to track criminal suspects in a short period of time.But the premise of using police dogs is to ensure sufficient sources of smell.It has been so long since our case, it is almost impossible to find the suspect's source of smell, but the sky is endless.

The suspect had gone to the bathroom to wash his hands wearing gloves after the murder, indicating that a large amount of the blood of the deceased remained on his gloves, and when he took away the lockpicking tool, he would inevitably leave the blood of the deceased on the tool.As long as we use the blood of the deceased as the source of smell, we can ensure that the police dogs can accurately find the suspect's crime tools in the community.

The idea is good, but the search work is not as smooth as we thought.Four professionally trained police dogs carried out a blanket search in the community. It took several hours before and after, but nothing was found.After repeatedly confirming that there is no problem with the source of smell, Brother Ming finally placed his bet on the only pond in the community.

Many people may have seen such a program on TV: Chinese detective Li Changyu drained the entire pond in order to solve a corpse case. In the end, the task force found a small amount of human tissue in the mud of the pond and locked the suspect.When most people saw this scene, they would think that the reports on TV were a bit exaggerated. I am afraid that only our on-site investigation personnel can understand Dr. Li's thoughts at that time.As long as the case has a little grip, what is it to us to drain a pond?
Fortunately, the tools discarded by the suspect in this case may be made of metal, and all problems can be solved by using professional electromagnets.The electromagnet is the most basic equipment in the professional salvage team.

The hard work paid off, and the salvage progressed smoothly. The lockpicking tool was wrapped in a towel and sank to the bottom of the pond.The suspect's "careful" care of the crime tools brought a lot of convenience to the old sage's inspection work.

After the tool was salvaged, Lao Xian immediately put it in an evidence bag and sent it to the laboratory.Several of us were anxiously pacing at the door of the laboratory. My mood at the moment was like a father-to-be standing at the door of the operating room waiting for his child to be born.I can't remember how many times I raised my wrist to check the time.It's already past meal time, but none of us have any appetite.

Beep beep!The sound of a printer came from Lao Xian's laboratory.

When I heard the noise, I quickly turned around and put my face on the glass window: "There are photos, there are photos!"

Usually, as long as the person has been processed by the public security organ, biological samples will be taken. If the report printed by the old sage has a photo, it shows that the DNA on the tool directly matches the suspect.

"The suspect has a criminal record!" Fat Lei shouted excitedly.

"It seems to be the best result!" Brother Ming also stood on tiptoe comically, stretched his neck and looked inside.

Lao Xian pinched the two corners of the A4 paper that came out of the printer with both hands, his excitement was beyond words, he wished he could pull out the form full of the suspect's information.

Beep beep... beep beep... After the printer roller worked several times, a piece of paper that completely recorded all the criminal records of the suspect was spit out.

Excited, Lao Xian pulled off his mask and quickly entered the password to open the door. As soon as the door opened, he stuffed the colored printing paper into Brother Ming's hand.

"Longjun, male, born on August 1970, 8, was sentenced to death with a reprieve for intentional homicide in 12, and was released from prison in 1988. In January 2008, he was forced to rehabilitate drugs for two years, and he was just released in January this year."

"It's only been more than two months since he came out and killed someone again?" I stood aside in amazement and read all the criminal records about him.

"Ye Qian, during the investigation of your criminal police team, didn't you find him in the deceased's relationship circle?"

"No, I've never heard of this person!" Ye Qian was also very confused by the result of the comparison.

"Could it be a mistake?" Lao Xian frowned.

"Anyway, let's find this person first!"

There is a saying that goes well, "If you plant flowers deliberately, they will not bloom, but if you plant willows and willows unintentionally, they will make shade".When all of us thought that the soldier might not be a suspect, investigators found the [-]-style Jiefang shoes and leather jacket he wore when committing the crime in his home.

After testing, Lao Xian extracted the mixed DNA of the deceased and Lu Jun from the pair of Jiefang shoes.If it weren't for this ironclad evidence before us, we would never have imagined that Lu Lu, who was handcuffed to the interrogation chair, would be the murderer who "jumped out of the Three Realms".

Because he didn't know anything, Brother Ming couldn't make an outline for the interrogation. The five of us all looked at the army who was only separated from us by an iron fence.With a half-finger-long cut head and a slightly angular round face, at the age of 45, his face is full of vicissitudes. This is a man with a story.

"Longjun, since we can find you, I hope you can cooperate with our work." Because he didn't know the situation, Brother Ming's first sentence was quite polite.

"Officer, you may also know about my situation. I have killed people before. If it wasn't because I surrendered myself, I might have been reincarnated a long time ago. I understand the reason."

The first sentence Lu Jun spoke made our faces look ugly, telling us that he is an experienced person.Although he said this in a relaxed tone, it sounded like a warning to our ears.

"Officers, but don't get me wrong." Lu Jun even added in an apologetic tone.

"Oh?" Brother Ming adjusted his questioning status in the shortest possible time.

"The police are kind to me. Since you have already caught me, I don't need to hide it. Zhao Heizi was killed by me."

None of us expected him to be able to explain so happily.

"Don't be surprised. Kill him. My wish is fulfilled. I'm seeking death now, so I won't make things difficult for you. I will say what I have." Lu Jun's attitude was quite sincere.

"Okay, let's talk about it!" Brother Ming took the initiative to get up and light a cigarette for him, and let go of his right hand.

"Thank you, officer!" Lu Lu held the cigarette between his hands and took two puffs. Before the cigarette was half burned, Lu Lu snuffed out the sparks from the cigarette butt, and carefully placed the remaining half of the cigarette on the bench of the interrogation chair: "Take two sips to refresh yourself. I don't want to waste the time of the police officers. These words have been held in my heart for a long time, so I can get on the road as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll prepare wine and food for you tonight!" Brother Ming is also a man of temperament.

The army chief sighed, looked at the cold handcuffs on his hands, and pondered for a minute, then he opened up the chatterbox: "In 1, I was 1986 years old, because my family conditions were not good, there were too many children, and I couldn't provide for them, so I I had to leave my hometown early to work hard.”

"I just came out of the countryside. I didn't have a penny in my hand, so I could only come to the city center to find some work to make ends meet. My first job was to be a waiter in a bar. Although the salary was low, at least I could guarantee Food and clothing, and sometimes to make the guests happy, people can even give a tip of one or two yuan, and after saving this tip for a month, I can invite friends out for a meal, so I felt quite satisfied at that time."

"When I was working in a bar, I met Wang Mengqing, who was about my age. She is a foreigner and was born in the countryside. In order to earn money to support herself, she went to sea and became a 'hostess lady' at the age of 14. Wang Mengqing looks pretty good. She is pretty, so there are often customers ordering the show. I can see her in the bar as soon as I go to work, and the two of us get close to each other. You don’t believe it, but the two of us can be together, just like acting on TV. The bridge sections are exactly the same.”

"Heroes save the beauty?" I blurted out without thinking.

Lu Lu nodded: "That night, the guest insisted on dragging Meng Qing to open the room. Although she is a hostess, she also has her own bottom line, and she is determined not to accompany her to bed. When he was about to forcibly drag Meng Qing into the car, I picked up a brick from the side of the road and shot it."

"After Mengqing was rescued, as a reward, she treated me to a barbecue meal at night. It may be that she had been suppressed for too long. I drank a lot of wine with her that day. When I sent her home at night, what happened to you Anything you can think of."

Lu Jun's expression when he spoke was full of the sweetness of first love.

"After that night, we came together naturally. In order to take care of my feelings, Meng Qing voluntarily resigned from her job as a hostess. Because the income in the bar was really good, I chose to continue working, and she worked as a bartender in a restaurant. The waiter. Just three months after we got together, I discovered one of her secrets."

"What secret?"

"Mengqing takes drugs."

"Heroin or meth?"

"Heroin. It was a customer who dragged her into the water. Mengqing thought I would leave her after knowing this, but I told her that no matter what she became, she was the one I loved the most in my heart. It was exactly Because of this sentence, Mengqing made up her mind to quit drug addiction."

"From that day on, both of us quit our jobs, and I spent the most difficult six months with her at home. I remember very clearly that on June 1987, 6, Children's Day, I walked out holding Mengqing's hand. The door, the sky above my head is so blue, looking at the busy traffic on the street, I have never felt that I have such a beautiful vision for the future."

"In order to live a normal life, the two of us scraped together and borrowed more than 1 yuan, and rented a front door on the street to open a small restaurant. After simple decoration, the signboard of 'Mengjun Restaurant' was officially hung out."

"But the good times didn't last long. As soon as the restaurant opened, several big brothers from the society found me."

"A protection fee?"

"It's about the same nature. They told me that if the restaurant wants to operate normally, all the ingredients must be purchased from them, and they need to be purchased quantitatively."

"Quantitative purchase?"

"That is to say, no matter whether your business is good or bad, you have to buy 200 yuan of ingredients from them every day. But the things they provide are rotten vegetable leaves and dead pork. If you say that you give such things to customers, this is not a funeral. Conscience? I was young and energetic back then, so I rejected it straight away."

"Later, the boss of these people, a man nicknamed 'Monkey', warned me: 'This place belongs to me, if you want to work here, you must understand the rules here, otherwise I'll fuck me and leave. people.'"

"I was only 18 years old that year, and I was at the age of youth. As soon as he said this, we two started having sex in the store. I slashed on the monkey's head with a knife. Later, because of this incident, I was arrested by the police station. Detained for ten days."

When Lu Lu said this, he suddenly clenched his fists, and I seemed to see anger burning on his body.

"On the day I was sent to the detention center, the monkey sent a message to Mengqing and asked her to prepare the coffin for me. The day I came out of the detention center was the day of my death. In order to save my life, Mengqing took the initiative to find Monkey reconciled, hoping he could let us go. But Monkey said, it’s okay to let us go, Meng Qing must sleep with him. Meng Qing knelt in front of Monkey and cried like a tearful person, but Monkey didn’t pity her. Instead, he called his younger brothers and gang-raped Meng Qing."

"This bastard gang-raped Meng Qing!" Lu Jun slammed his fist on the iron plate of the interrogation chair, making a loud bang.

fourteen
Brother Ming got up and walked to Lu Lu, and patted him on the shoulder: "If you can't, just rest for a while."

"Thank you, officer, no need. I have avenged me, and I want to go to see her quickly." Lu Lu who regained his composure gave Brother Ming a grateful look.

"Well, you can weigh it yourself."

Lu Lu's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and then he opened his mouth: "When I came back from the detention center, I found that something was wrong with Meng Qing. Under my repeated questioning, she told the whole story."

"My woman was ruined by these bastards. If I don't take revenge, am I still a fucking person? At that time, my brain got hot, I grabbed a kitchen knife from the kitchen and ran into the monkey's house. Before he could respond Come here and cut off his neck with a knife."

Lu Lu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "When I killed a monkey, I was completely out of anger, but when I got home, I began to regret it. Killing and paying for my life, what should Meng Qing do? What will she do in the next few decades? When I killed the monkey, his The two younger brothers are present, and the police will find me soon. In order not to drag Meng Qing down, I decided to run away."

"The moment I stepped out of the room with one foot, Meng Qing grabbed me, and she said: 'Lu Lu, you can't go. If you choose to run away, your life will be gone. If you die, it means I am dead. Although you killed someone, but we choose to surrender, we can still save our lives. No matter how long your sentence is in the future, I will be a woman of your army for the rest of my life. Even on the day when I am too old to walk, I I will also wait for you to be released from prison." After listening to her words, my tears flowed out without any warning. The two of us hugged each other tightly, drying up all the tears in this life. I really want to just hug like this She never left, but Mengqing was worried that the police would come to her, so she put the only 200 yuan in my pocket in my pocket, and the two of us held hands and walked into the gate of the police station."

"Because I pleaded guilty in a good manner and surrendered myself, I was sentenced to death with a reprieve and saved my life. During my sentence, I worked hard day and night. My guard knew about my situation and applied for commutation of my sentence many times. , Later I only served the minimum sentence, 20 years.”

"That year, we were 38 years old. On the first day I was released from prison, Mengqing took me into the Civil Affairs Bureau. After waiting for me for 20 years, she finally became my bride, and we The wedding cost only a few yuan in production costs."

"I cherish every day with Mengqing very much. In order to support my family, I did everything, carrying mud pockets and moving bricks. I worked like this for a year, and I finally had some savings on hand. But because of poor health , I couldn’t stand this kind of physical work more and more, and then we both started selling breakfast to make ends meet.”

"I have been married for more than a year. Apart from the ordinary life, my greatest wish is to have a child belonging to us like other families. It is precisely because of this that Mengqing chose to tell I'm telling the truth."

Judging from the sad expression of the army, this may be another tragedy.

"In order to save my life, Mengqing borrowed tens of thousands of usury loans. She had no job, so she could only choose to sell herself to repay the debt. During the years when Mengqing was a 'Miss', she was pregnant many times. For money, she chose to go to some small clinics for abortion. During the last operation, the doctor did not operate properly, which caused her uterus to bleed profusely. In order to save her life, she had to undergo a total excision operation and lost her fertility forever.”

"After the uterus was removed, Mengqing felt that the whole sky was falling down. She didn't know how to explain to me after I came out. Under the tremendous pressure, Mengqing made an impulsive choice, and she started to use I used drugs to anesthetize myself, and I have been smoking for more than ten years.”

Lu Lu wiped his vicissitudes of face: "Mengqing told me that she would leave after a few years, and she said that I am the most sorry person in this life. But I know in my heart how many women a person can have in this life." Willing to spend 20 years of my youth for myself? So I don’t blame her at all. I love her and I have to tolerate all of her. No matter what she becomes, she is a woman in my army. I will never allow her to die in front of me. , if we die, we will die together. After that day, I made a decision."

"Decide?"

"I started doing heroin behind her back."

There was no expression on Lu Lu's face: "When Mengqing found out, she thought she had harmed me. She slapped herself in the face in front of me. Seeing the blood oozing from the corner of her mouth, I felt so distressed. I knelt down Beg her on the ground, let her not blame herself, although God treats us so unfairly, we still have to face it with a smile."

"I persuaded her all night before she let go of the burden in her heart. In this way, we live every day as if it is the last day. The hard-earned money during the day is replaced by drugs at night. In the eyes of others, our life is bleak. We had a good time by us."

"With the flick of a finger, a year passes quickly, and everything comes too suddenly."

When Lu Lu said this, he picked up the half of the cigarette on the interrogation chair.

"Xiaolong, order it for him."

I picked up the lighter and pressed the flame, Lu Jun stretched out the blackened cigarette butt, and the smell of tobacco floated in the air again.

After taking a few puffs, the sparks burned to the butt of the cigarette. Lu Lu extinguished the cigarette butt and threw it on the ground, and said, "At nine o'clock in the evening on March [-] the year before last, Mengqing and I finished business and locked the door. We were taking drugs in the house, and that's when someone smashed on our door."

"Who is this guy?"

"Our landlord, Zhao Heizi."

fifteen
Hearing this, I finally figured it out.

Lu Lu continued: "Zhao Heizi would come to collect the rent on the 10th of every month, but he didn't come early or late, but he came to the door at this juncture. At that time, Mengqing and I had already inserted the needle into the blood vessel. If I Open the door, and Zhao Heizi will definitely find out about our drug use. But there is a light in the room, even if I don’t open the door, Zhao Heizi will not let it go. The moment I pulled out the needle, Mengqing suddenly foamed at the mouth, Lie on the ground and twitched, Zhao Heizi happened to use the key to open the door at this moment."

"Zhao Heizi is also a member of the society. Seeing the scene in front of him, he immediately guessed that we were taking drugs. He didn't know that Zhao Heizi didn't care about human feelings at all, and he would call the police when he took out his mobile phone. My life is gone. If the police arrive and give me a urine test, I will definitely be arrested immediately. Mengqing can’t do without me at this time. I was forced to kneel in front of Zhao Heizi and beat him repeatedly. I slammed my head a few times and begged him not to call the police. But he kicked me away and asked me for 1 yuan in hush money."

"I can't even pay the rent every month. Where can I give him 1 yuan? Since there was no discussion, I knocked him to the ground in a hurry. I carried Mengqing on my back and ran downstairs, but Zhao Heizi lay on the ground. They grabbed my trouser legs on the ground and refused to let me go."

"I could feel Mengqing's breathing getting weaker and weaker. I held Mengqing in my arms and knelt down for him, but he just refused to let go. If the police hadn't arrived in time, I would have killed him." Impulse. After a brief question about the situation, the police took Mengqing to the hospital in a police car without saying a word, but after a night of rescue, Mengqing still left."

Hearing this, we can already guess Lu Jun's motive for killing, and this Zhao Heizi really deserved his death.Everything pays attention to a karmic retribution, some things are not not repaid, but the time has not yet come.

"Because I took heroin many times, the police station ordered me to be isolated for two years. I said to the police officer who handled the case: 'You can do whatever you want with me. I just want me to send my lover to the last mile. In this world , besides me, she no longer has any relatives.” After learning about my situation, the director of the police station asked the leadership for instructions on special matters.

"Before I left, I touched Meng Qing's black-and-white photo on the tombstone and swore in my heart that I would make Zhao Heizi pay for it with blood!"

After much deliberation, the only way to ambush Zhao Heizi is the safest. But their house lives on the 29th floor. It is indeed not an easy task to enter the house ahead of time. Coincidentally, in the second year of my sentence, I met a locksmith inside and learned the method of unlocking through the cat's eye from him. The way of entering the door is solved, then The rest of the matter is much easier to handle. In the past few months after I came out of the drug rehabilitation center, I made tools and found out Zhao Heizi's whereabouts at the same time. After everything was ready, I started my murder plan."

"Tell me about your clothes that night."

"Because I was afraid that the blood splashed on my body would not be wiped off, I wore a black leather jacket that night."

"What shoes are you wearing?"

"It's the old-fashioned liberation shoes I gave out when I was in prison."

"Go on."

In order not to let Zhao Heizi find out that I moved on the cat's eye Hands and feet, I moved the New Year picture on his door."

"What happened after that?"

"After I entered the house, according to my plan in advance, I turned off the main power supply in the house, took a kitchen knife from the kitchen wall in my hand, and then I sat on the sofa in the living room and waited for Zhao Heizi to come home. A Many hours later, I heard the sound of the lock being unlocked."

"The door opened, and it was indeed Zhao Heizi who came in. Just as he was about to walk into the house, I slashed at his neck. When the warm liquid splashed on my hand, I smelled the long-lost The smell of blood."

"Watching Zhao Heizi slowly fall down in front of me, I stabbed him a few more times in the neck, and I could feel his blood flowing out quickly. After he died, I turned on the power switch in the house .”

"Because a lot of blood was sprayed on my body, I went to the bathroom to wash it briefly. Then I opened the windows of the living room and balcony to diffuse the smell of blood. Finally, I threw the lockpicking tool into the pond in the community and left there. "
