Criminal Investigation: Collapse

Chapter 21 Darkness 1.1

"The deceased He Xunfang, female, aged 64, the cause of death is still being watched by the old Wang." Wen Lixi saw Jiang Yin and Liu Sichan crossing the crowd and entered the forbidden line, and took two steps forward to briefly explain the circumstances of the deceased.

"Who called the police?" Jiang Yin could smell the stench of corpses from such a long distance, and couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Wen Lixi stopped, and gestured in a direction with her chin, "Her daughter, Zeng Haiying, said she came over this afternoon to deliver some thick clothes to the old lady, but when she opened the door, she saw this look." Following that Looking in the direction, it was a middle-aged woman in plain clothes, with several paper bags for clothes placed at her feet.

Jiang Yin nodded, handed Liu Sichan a coat hanging on his arm, and then said to Wen Lixi: "Lixi, you and Sichan go over there and ask, I'll go in and have a look at the scene. "

Liu Sichan nodded her head and walked towards the deceased's daughter together with Wen Lixi.

It is already the beginning of autumn in Qicheng. Although the ground temperature is still very high at noon, you can already feel the coolness of the vassal in the wind in the morning and evening. Liu Sichan brought an extra coat, in case he would be cold at night.

When Jiang Yin entered the house, the smell of corpses became stronger again, but the scene was not as bloody as expected, "Old Wang, has it been smelling for a while?"

"Yeah, looking at the appearance of the corpse and the color of the blood on the wound, it's been almost a week at least." Old Wang carefully looked at the only wound on the surface of the corpse.

Jiang Yin did not continue to look at the corpse, but took out a pair of gloves from his pocket, turned around and looked at the surrounding furnishings.

There were obvious bloodstains on the edge of the coffee table beside the corpse, and when the desk lamp that was supposed to stand on the cabinet was lying on the ground at this time, he took a careful look at the cabinet and the dust on the ground, and then saw a hole not far from the corpse. There were piles of shattered glass cups, and water stains that had obviously dried on the ground.

Combining these points, Jiang Yin turned his back to Lao Wang and said: "Is it possible that the old lady fell down by herself or suffered some sudden illness, and then knocked her head on the coffee table."

Lao Wang was silent for a moment before replying: "It should not be an accidental death. Come and see."

Hearing this, Jiang Yin returned to the position just now, squatted down and carefully looked at the wound on the forehead of the corpse.

"There are obvious traces of secondary injuries. I compared the first wound to the edge of the coffee table. It was indeed knocked here. The deceased should have just fainted at the time. Within a period of time, the platelets condensed to make the wound scab. It bleeds again, but at this time it suffered a second blow, look carefully at the wound," Lao Wang drew an oval shape above the wound with his hand, "the second time should be an oval object, this time The second time is the fatal injury, because after the death, the bloodstains only dried on the surface of the skin of the deceased during this period of time, and did not scab."

Jiang Yin looked sideways at Wang Han's face and said, "It seems to be our business."

Lao Wang nodded, "And now I still have a suspicious problem in my mind. I have to bring the corpse back to the Municipal Bureau for further examination before I can give you an accurate conclusion."

Jiang Yin nodded, "Okay, work hard at night." After finishing speaking, he got up and went out, ready to find Liu Sichan and Wen Lixi.

"Is there anything else to ask?"

Liu Sichan shook her head, "It seems that she was frightened. Auntie kept repeating those few words, but she couldn't speak clearly."

When Zeng Haiying saw the tall man in front of him, he felt a strong sense of oppression rushing towards his face, and couldn't help shivering. Seeing this, Liu Sichan asked, "Are you... a little cold?"

As he spoke, he saw a window wide open on the side, and closed the window smoothly.

Jiang Yin stretched out his hand and pressed the back of the chair where Liu Sichan was sitting, with a kinder smile on his face, and seeing Zeng Haiying's dry lips, Jiang Yin asked for an unopened bottle from the side. Pass the mineral water to her, then look into Zeng Haiying's eyes and continue to say: "Take a sip of water and relax. I will ask slowly, and you will recall slowly."

When he found that Zeng Haiying was a little relaxed and nodded towards him, Jiang Yincai asked slowly: "Our forensic doctor initially judged that the death of the deceased was within a week, did your mother and daughter not talk on the phone during this period? "

Zeng Haiying's eyes were a little tired, she shook her head slowly, and said, "I called twice," taking out her mobile phone and looking at the call records, "The last time was this Friday night, I didn't answer, and then The second time was at noon today, and I still didn’t pick up.”

"The old man didn't answer the phone, why didn't he come to see it then?" Jiang Yin asked.

"Police officer, you may not be very clear about the situation in my family. The old lady didn't like me very much since she was a child. Except for calling me when she asked me for money and things, I didn't answer the phone very much. It has been like this for so many years. .”

She smiled wryly, "Last week, the old lady called me and said she wanted some thick clothes. I have to go to work to take care of the children during the week, so I don't have time to buy them for her. I thought about calling the old man on Friday night to see if they would like I am willing to go out with me the next day and let the old lady choose a few pieces she likes, but she doesn’t answer the phone. I thought it was because I didn’t buy clothes in time and got angry again, so I went to buy these yesterday. "

Said, Zeng Haiying glanced at the several bags on the ground, and then said: "It was a bit late when I went back, so I thought of delivering it today, because my daughter is just a senior in high school this year, and she is going to a remedial class today. So I came here after cooking for the children to eat in the afternoon, but as soon as I opened the door, I saw the old lady lying on the ground, already stinking."

Jiang Yin nodded, glanced at the written record in front of Wen Lixi next to him, and then continued to ask softly: "You have the key to the house, right?"

Zeng Haiying nodded, "I rented this house to the old lady. When I changed the locks, I kept a spare here just in case of any accidents."

"Then does anyone else have the key?"

"There are four in total. My brother kept one at home, and the old lady used one herself. There should be another one in the house."

"Brother?" Jiang Yin repeated, with some doubts in his tone.

Zeng Haiying nodded, Jiang Yin looked around and found no other family members, so he asked Xiang Wenlixi: "Did the family members of the deceased not notify?"

Wen Lixi didn't look up, looked at the laptop screen on his lap, and typed quickly with his hands, "Notified, but I haven't seen you yet."

At this time, it was Zeng Haiying who interjected, "My sister-in-law is five months pregnant, so she must settle down before coming here."

Jiang Yin nodded, expressing his understanding, "Then can you go home by yourself now?"

After Zeng Haiying nodded, Jiang Yin continued: "Then you go home first, and if you have any questions later, we will continue to contact you. I hope you can keep the communication smooth recently."

"Condolences."

Jiang Yin greeted a little comrade next to him and asked him to see Zeng Haiying off. After they left, Jiang Yin looked at Zeng Haiying's back and called Pei Shishi to the side.

"Senior brother, what's the matter?" Pei Shishi seemed to be flashing, and appeared beside Jiang Yin in a flash.

"Has the surveillance checked?" Jiang Yin said, taking the coat from Liu Sichan's lap, and putting it on Liu Sichan's back.

Pei Shishi shook a USB flash drive in his hand, "I just started copying videos."

"Copy this week and last week?"

Pei Shishi smiled awkwardly, "That's not true, I only copied this week's."

Just when Pei Shishi thought that Jiang Yin was going to reprimand him, he unexpectedly didn't hear it, but said, "Then go and copy the video, and immediately let the technical team start to investigate this week's And all the suspicious people in last week's video."

Turning his head, Jiang Yin yelled to the nagging Li Gaoming again: "Lao Li, look at what else you need to take, and then go back to the bureau after taking it. I have to work the night shift tonight."

After all, Lao Li kept humming, and took Liu Sichan and Wen Lixi to go back to the game first.

Two hours later, it was already early morning, and all the personnel from the city bureau returned to the city bureau one after another. Along with them, there was also the victim's son, Zeng Haixing, who had been late.
