No.14 Disciple: Death Puzzle

Chapter 52
In the conference room of the criminal investigation brigade, the windows were tightly closed, and the heavy rainwater beat hard on the glass.A sultry breath lingered around everyone all the time, and everyone was covered with sweat.

As soon as Zhuo Qingshan stepped into the door of the meeting room, she felt the familiar dignified air blowing towards her face.Director Zhao Hongjun was talking to Han Ruowei and Luo Gang in a low voice. It seemed that the forensic doctor had also made new discoveries.Guo Junfeng explained to Xu Qingqing, while nodding at Zhuo Qingshan.

An Youlin yawned and followed behind Zhuo Qingshan, Zhuo Qingshan suddenly stopped, and An Youlin, who was in a daze, almost bumped into her.

"Any new discoveries?" Zhuo Qingshan asked You Tao who was talking to Song Chunming in a low voice, and at this time An Youlin bypassed Zhuo Qingshan and sat down on a chair. "Yes!" You Tao glanced at the drowsy An Youlin and said, "Teacher An asked me to investigate Zhou Xiaodong's background side by side, and it was also rewarding." Zhuo Qingshan originally thought that An Youlin would be happy when he heard the news about You Tao. I was so excited, but I didn't expect that An Youlin just touched the mustache on his chin with his thumb, and yawned heavily. "Hey, hello!" Zhuo Qingshan approached An Youlin, lowered her body and hurriedly said, "Don't fall asleep during the meeting again!" Before Zhuo Qingshan finished speaking, Luo Gang announced the start of the meeting .The emergency meetings of the Criminal Investigation Brigade have always been simplified, there are no messy and time-wasting procedures, and they go straight to the point.Director Zhao Hongjun didn't speak at this emergency meeting, but just called An Youlin to his side.

There were only two dark lights left in the meeting room, and the projections were live photos of the deceased Yang Ping's home.Forensic team leader Han Ruowei announced the latest progress of the autopsy of the deceased.

"The ingredients of phenobarbital sodium and sleeping pills were found in the body of the deceased Yang Ping." This discovery coincided with the previous speculation of An Youlin and the others at the home of the deceased Yang Ping. "A scar was also found on the neck of the deceased." Following Han Ruowei's narration, Xu Qingqing replaced the projected picture with a photo of the neck of the deceased Yang Ping, which was taken in the dissection room of the forensic team. "This scar was caused by a long foreign body pressing down on the neck of the deceased shortly before his death.

In the cup brought back by the investigation team, the same sleeping pill ingredients as those in the body of the deceased Yang Ping were found.The bathrobe found in the wardrobe of the deceased had a small amount of blood on it, and after inspection, it was confirmed that it belonged to the deceased himself.In addition, the composition of the essential oil was detected on the body and nasal cavity of the deceased, which was the same as that of the water sample collected in the bathtub of the deceased's home.That is to say, there is essential oil in the water in the bathtub, and this essential oil has the same composition as the bottle of essential oil found in the deceased's home. It is believed that it is the source of the essential oil on the deceased's body. "

Then came Guo Junfeng, and the projection screen turned into a photo of a red sports car: "This is the deceased's car. It was found in the underground parking lot of the Tangning Mansion. The deceased's mobile phone was not found in the car. In the deceased's home, a The photo album of the dead..."

The projection screen switched to photos in the album, all of which were photos of Yang Ping and others, and all of them were life photos.Yang Ping in the photo is full of vigor, and many of the people taking photos with her are popular male and female movie stars. Compared with these rising stars, Yang Ping, who is over fifty years old, is not inferior to these rising stars, and even has more aura than them.

The projection screen stays on a photo of Yang Ping sitting on a chair with three actresses. Judging from the background of the photo, it should be an awards ceremony of a certain film festival.Yang Ping was wearing a black dress and her long hair was hanging loose. She didn't look like she was in her 50s at all. She put one leg on the other and looked at the camera at the same time as the other three actresses. "Xiao Zhuo, have you noticed who Yang Ping looks like?" Song Chunming asked in a low voice. "Like who?"

"Does it look like something..." Before Song Chunming could finish explaining, You Tao whispered next to him: "Empress Dowager Cixi?" "Well, it kind of means that." Zhuo Qingshan agreed.The projection screen finally stayed on the photo of Yang Ping wearing a light yellow evening dress and taking pictures with others, and the evening dress on Yang Ping was exactly what she wore after her death. "On the night of the incident, some people said they saw a suspected murderer appearing in Tangning's mansion." Guo Junfeng's words attracted everyone's attention, and even An Youlin, who was curled up on a chair, stood up. "Around twelve o'clock in the morning that night, a girl who was on the phone with her boyfriend from another place until late at night saw a man wearing a dark coat and carrying a toolbox by the window, leaving the mansion where the deceased Yang Ping lived. The distance was far, and the girl didn't see the person's appearance and gender clearly."

It turned out that Guo Junfeng acted alone to do these investigations, and he did not follow the routine as You Tao said.Zhuo Qingshan thought to herself.

Director Zhao Hongjun asked: "As far as I know, the Tangning Mansion is a newly built luxury residential area, and property management should be very strict. Didn't the Tangning Mansion's surveillance cameras capture the murderer's appearance?"

Guo Junfeng sighed, and replied helplessly: "Although the Tangning Mansion emphasizes its perfect property management in the publicity, it is actually not satisfactory. Many fancy facilities in the Tangning Mansion are perfect, including greening, sculptures, fountains, anti-corrosion The plank road, etc., can be monitored, but it is just a decoration. The explanation given by the Tangning Mansion is that the second phase of the project is still under construction, and it is connected to the completed first phase of the Tangning Mansion, so it is not easy to close the management. Moreover, the sale of the Tangning Mansion The rate is very high, but the actual occupancy rate is not high, so the property fees are not collected, so they are lazy in monitoring such an imperceptible link.”

After Guo Junfeng finished his introduction, Luo Gang motioned You Tao to talk about his investigation findings.

"My investigation is based on Teacher An's reasoning. Shall I ask Teacher An to talk about it first?" An Youlin was already ready: "Success, then I will talk about my views on these current clues."

An Youlin whispered a few words to Xu Qingqing. "Then let me tell you about the discovery of the bathroom in the deceased Yang Ping's home..." An Youlin rehearsed the death process of the deceased Yang Ping. , and the murderer pretending to be a massage technician, using sleeping pills to put the deceased to sleep first, and then making preparations for killing the deceased... He narrated it step by step. A policewoman on the side helps demonstrate.

When everyone heard An Youlin say that the murderer was stimulated by the water in the bathtub and made an unexpected move, they all whispered to the people around them.

"It is likely that the murderer experienced a negative water-related event at a particular time, for example, drowning, or seeing someone else drown or something like that."

Guo Junfeng raised a question: "If the murderer encountered such a negative incident, shouldn't he be afraid of water?"

"Everyone has a different way of dealing with fear, but the question you raised is also reasonable!" An Youlin wobbled to the front of the projection, with a photo of the bathroom of the deceased Yang Ping's house on his body, "If the murderer went through The negative event is not one's own drowning, or watching others drown as a bystander..."

"You mean, the murderer did something similar before? Drowning to death with water..." Song Chunming couldn't help saying.

"There is such a possibility!" An Youlin walked back and forth under the projection, hunched over like an old man, "After being stimulated by the water, the murderer projected a certain past experience onto the body of the deceased Yang Ping. Tsk Tsk tsk, the murderer may have done similar things in the past, directly or indirectly drowning others in the water!"

There was no sound in the conference room, and everyone was staring at An Youlin.Immediately afterwards, An Youlin finished telling the murderer who took Yang Ping's heart and caused Yang Ping's death, and then put Yang Ping in an evening dress and arranged her in the state when she was discovered. "However, I overlooked one point before. At that time, I just thought that the murderer took the heart of the deceased from the back because of the characteristic of the murderer pretending to be a massage technician. However, when the scars on the neck of the deceased appeared over time, and the murderer was exposed to the bathtub The weird behavior caused by the stimulation of the middle water, I don’t think it is necessary for the murderer to do something on the back of the deceased..."

Song Chunming said: "Mr. An, what you mean is that since the deceased Yang Ping fell into a coma after drinking sleeping pills, the murderer, after being stimulated, forcibly pulled the deceased to the side of the bathtub and then moved him back to the bed. The deceased Yang Ping is here After a series of actions, it is likely that the back will no longer be kept up, so if the murderer simply took out the heart of the deceased, there is no need..."

"Yes, yes, yes," An Youlin nodded, "But judging from how the murderer arranged the scene later, it is inevitable that the murderer took the heart from behind. Because the murderer needs to arrange the scene as we saw later..."

The projection screen switched to the live photos of the deceased Yang Ping when she was found. "That's how the murderer arranged for Yang Ping to be discovered," An Youlin pointed to Yang Ping, who was wearing a light yellow evening gown and a wreath on her head. "Let's put it this way, the murderer largely expected this scene." It's the perfect way to express the message the killer wants to send..."
