Forensic Medicine Qu Xiaoshui

Chapter 42 The serial arson case (5)

The two exchanged in a low voice while maintaining their hugging posture, and finally decided to put Zhu Yin's safety first, take conservative actions, and go back to the room first as Qu Xiaoshui said.

After entering the room, Qu Xiaoshui left a gap in the door to let Jiang Yue pay attention to the movement outside, then ran into the bathroom by himself and started to fill the bathtub with water.

The sound of running water pouring into the bathtub well covered the sound of her phone call to Captain Chen.

"Beep...beep..." With Jiang Yue by her side, Qu Xiaoshui had completely calmed down, her breathing gradually became steady, and while waiting for Team Chen to answer the phone, she was still thinking about some details after returning home today.

There is no Athena Chu’s slippers at the entrance, which means that she was attacked after she went home to change her shoes; whether there is a key to the room on the coffee table, which means that the criminals did not follow her into the room, but were already waiting at home early. She came back; Athena Chu's social circle is very simple, basically the same as Qu Xiaoshui's, with two points and one line.

So either the person who came here was the criminal or the family member of the criminal, and they came here for her as a policeman; or they were patients or colleagues who had conflicts with Athena Chu, and they came here specifically for Athena Chu.

On the way, Chen Sheng contacted a few colleagues who lived nearby in the team, and he had already arrived at the gate of the community: "Hello?"

Qu Xiaoshui's train of thought was interrupted by the voice answering the phone: "Team Chen, I'm Qu Xiaoshui, let me briefly tell you about the current situation."

"Jiang Yue and I separated at about eight o'clock. When I got home, I found that there were signs of outsiders entering the house. Another woman who lived with me was obviously at home, but no one answered when I called her."

"I fully suspect that someone invaded and took Zhu Yin hostage. Now Jiang Yue and I are indoors. In order to protect Zhu Yin's life as much as possible, we may let the intruder leave."

"There is only one unit door exit in the community. When you arrive, please wait there and pay attention to pedestrians. There may be someone standing guard and not committing crimes alone. If you can catch people, it is the best result; The suspect is a resident of the building."

Team Chen agreed: "Yes. How is the monitoring situation in the building?"

Qu Xiaoshui replied: "The management of the community is fairly strict, and there are surveillance cameras in the elevators and fire exits."

Team Chen asked a few more questions about the structure of the passages in the building, and finally said: "Keep the phone open. When Zhao Jun and Zhang Ming come, we will call for surveillance. The priority is to ensure the safety of the hostages."

"Okay," Qu Xiaoshui was still not at ease, "Captain Chen, pay attention to safety! I can't tell whether the opponent is armed or not."

Chen Sheng replied with a smile: "How many years do you think brother has been a criminal police officer? Don't worry!"

After Qu Xiaoshui hung up the phone, she came out of the bathroom, and what she saw was Jiang Yue lying on the ground looking out from the crack of the door. She approached Jiang Yue and asked in a low voice, "How is it?"

"Nothing happened." The door of that room hadn't even been opened.

Qu Xiaoshui was very worried about Zhu Yin's situation. She whispered, "Team Chen has already arrived in the community. Let's wait another 10 minutes. If the other party still doesn't come out, we will go in."

"Yes. But you stay in the room as much as possible. This is my only condition." Jiang Yue glanced sideways at Qu Xiaoshui, and stopped Qu Xiaoshui's objection, "Otherwise I will be distracted. Trust me. ?"

Jiang Yue's image has never been taller. At this time, he is not the little boyfriend who likes to act like a baby and take advantage of it, but a big man who stands in front of her and is willing to shield her from the wind and rain.

Under Jiang Yue's gaze, Qu Xiaoshui nodded involuntarily.

She is also unwilling to cause trouble to others in such a critical situation.

Her force value is indeed not enough, and it is easy to hold back.

But she was also very worried about Jiang Yue taking risks alone.

He had almost no energy to fight the fire today, and he came in a hurry again, probably even more energyless.

Just when Qu Xiaoshui was still thinking about how to provide support for Jiang Yue without causing trouble, the door of Zhu Yin's room was opened.

The man also slowly pushed open the door, first opened a gap, carefully observed, and then noticed that there was no one in the living room, and the other party walked out of the room.

When Qu Xiaoshui took Jiang Yue back to the room, he was too nervous and didn't turn on the lights in the living room or the bedroom, so he could only look at the silhouette of the man from the corner of the light from the kitchen and the lights in Xuanhuan.

It was a tall man with a well-proportioned body. The dim light made them unable to see the man's face clearly, but from the way the man walked and the subtle movements, it could be seen that he should be a well-educated man. Pay attention to your posture, and restrain your arms from swinging while walking.

In his hand was a metallic object, probably a knife.

Jiang Yue wanted to get up, but was held down by Qu Xiaoshui.

"Don't move!" Qu Xiaoshui said to Jiang Yue almost without making a sound. She was not sure if Jiang Yue heard clearly, but he did not move.

Only then did Qu Xiaoshui let go of his hand and waited and watched the development of the situation.

As Qu Xiaoshui expected, that person only took a few steps, and quickly returned to Zhu Yin's room door, he was very vigilant.

After waiting quietly for a while, the man focused his attention on Qu Xiaoshui's room, and after seeing that no one came out, he returned to the room.

When he came out again, he had a small bag on his back. Qu Xiaoshui recognized that it was Athena Chu's backpack.

The man hesitated at the door of Athena Zhu Yin's room for a while, as if he had made up his mind, he rushed towards the door, quickly rushed into the corridor, and disappeared.

Jiang Yue didn't catch up, he wasn't sure if there were other people in the room.

Qu Xiaoshui sent a message to Team Chen, telling him that the suspect had a knife in his hand, and immediately ran to Zhu Yin's room.

Jiang Yue stood in front of her: "Stand back." He stopped Qu Xiaoshui who wanted to open the door, stood in front by himself, slowly pressed the doorknob, and slowly pushed the door open.

There was no light on in Athena Chu's room. Noticing that there was no danger, Jiang Yue fumbled by the wall and turned on the light.

The light was very glaring to eyes that had adapted to the dimness, but Qu Xiaoshui still locked onto Athena Zhu Yin whose hands and feet were bound at a glance.

She ran to Zhu Yin's side, quickly checked Zhu Yin's condition, and there was no trauma at all.

Her hair was soaked in sweat and stuck to her face, she must have struggled hard, so she was a little bit weak.

At this time, Athena Chu's clothes were intact, although they were a little disheveled, but it could be seen that she had not suffered any other injuries.

This made Qu Xiaoshui finally let go of the heart he had been carrying all along.

Qu Xiaoshui carefully tore off the tape that sealed Zhu Yin's lips, and untied the ropes that bound her hands and feet.Hugging her tightly: "It's okay, it's okay!" She coaxed softly, shaking her body rhythmically, and patted Zhu Yin's back carefully with her hands.

The girls comforted and warmed each other, which made Jiang Yue, who was standing aside, a little uncomfortable.

Facing today's crisis, in order not to add any psychological burden to Zhu Yin, it is best not to have any tall men in front of her.

It was inconvenient for Jiang Yue to stay in the room, so he went out silently and closed the door, first went to check all the rooms, and the condition of the doors and windows, then turned on all the lights before returning to the living room.

Hope such a bright interior can add some sense of security to the two ladies in the room.

He stood on the balcony and dialed Team Chen's phone number: "Du...beep...beep..."

The busy tone kept ringing in his ears, which made Jiang Yue a little worried.

He wanted to go out and have a look, but he was worried that Qu Xiaoshui was staying with the two women who had just been frightened, and his heart was very anxious and tormented.

He rummaged in the phone book, found Zhao Jun's phone number, and dialed it.

Fortunately, the call was quickly connected this time: "Hello? I'm busy, tell me something!" Zhao Jun seemed to be running on the phone, his voice was unsteady.

Being scolded like this for the first time was still new to Jiang Yue, but he quickly got to the point: "How is the situation? I called Team Chen and no one answered." It goes without saying that he was worried about Team Chen's situation.

"Don't worry about it." Apparently, Zhao Jun understood Jiang Yue's meaning easily, "Team Chen ran faster than me, we are chasing that grandson, we are dead!"

The phone was hung up without saying anything, and Jiang Yue knew that Team Chen was fine, so he was relieved.

He went to Qu Xiaoshui's room to get a makeup brush, walked to the door, and tried to use the powder method to extract the fingerprints on the doorknob.

The result was also expected, the other party was obviously well prepared, there was no fingerprint of that person left on Zhu Yin's room door or gate.

Jiang Yue was not disappointed either, he returned to the living room, carefully checked if there were any tiny clues, and also satisfied his own selfishness by the way, this was the first time he entered Qu Xiaoshui's home, just like the first time he entered Qu Xiaoshui's house. Water lives like that.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yue was actually a little excited.

He couldn't help but blame himself, why didn't he remember not to take a few more glances in Qu Xiaoshui's room just now? !
