Criminal Investigation Team 1: The Next Suspect

Qiao Li simply packed the survey box, then hurriedly got into the car with Lin Mo and rushed to the victim's house.The location of the report this time was in an ordinary community, and the reporter was the neighbor of the deceased.

This neighborhood is not very far from the police station, only 10 minutes by car.After getting out of the car, Lin Mo and his group saw a group of people crowded under a building, most of them were retired grandparents from this community, they heard something and came to watch the excitement.

Qiao Li was carrying a heavy reconnaissance box, trying to find a breakthrough from the crowd on the third floor, but after searching for a long time, he tried many methods but couldn't get in. He stood there, sweating on his head, The emaciated figure was in stark contrast to the short and fat aunts around her.

Suddenly, he felt that someone was hugging his shoulders, and a body was pressed against his back. The familiar smell made Qiao Li know who it was without turning his head.

Lin Mo saw that Qiao Li had been carrying a heavy suitcase and was blocked at the door, so he gently put his arms around his shoulders. He purposely stayed very close to him, and his arms were vaguely attached to Qiao Li's clothes.This man is really plundering all the time!

Qiao Li was "escorted" by Lin Mo all the way and finally came to the building.Although this neighborhood is ordinary, something happened a few years ago, so the security management is very strict, and no one is allowed to enter the building without a key card.Apparently, the police had already greeted the doorman before, and the doorman let them in as soon as they showed their police IDs.

The reporter said on the phone that the address was on the third floor of this building. When Lin Mo and others arrived at the said crime scene, the trace inspection personnel were still pulling the cordon, and everyone walked inside. His eyes were attracted by a touch of red on his head.

It was a woman in a red dress, who was hanging from a chandelier on the ceiling by a thick hemp rope.

Most of the woman's face was blocked by her long hair, so her appearance and age could not be seen, but judging from the lines of her bare arms and calves, this woman should still be very young.

There is very little furniture in the living room, and there is a row of sofas inside, which seem to have been used for a while.There is no TV, only a coffee table with a few magazines and some fruits on it.

The surrounding windows were closed, and there was no blood on the ground.There were no auxiliary tools such as chairs on the soles of the deceased's feet.

Obviously, it's a murder.

It only took Qiao Li a moment to observe these things. He opened the box and turned his head to pass the shoe covers to Lin Mo, but he found that Lin Mo's expression was very strange.

Qiao Li couldn't tell exactly what was wrong, but he felt that his eyes were complicated and had many emotions.Lin Mo looked a little lost in thought, but felt very guilty.

Qiao Li guessed that it might be that he knew the victim but it was inconvenient to say, or it might be that the scene in front of him reminded him of something from the past.

"What's the matter? Do you know this person?" Qiao Li waved the shoe cover in front of his eyes, signaling him to put it on and work quickly.

Lin Mo could hear Qiao Li's voice, and immediately regained his composure, quickly put on his shoe covers, and said to Qiao Li who was still wearing gloves, "I don't know you."

After a while, he added, "But I thought of someone."

Consistent with Qiao Li's assumption.

But Lin Mo didn't continue talking, and Qiao Li didn't ask again, but it didn't mean he didn't want to know.Although Qiao Li has always paid little attention to the things around him, Lin Mo has been a special existence to him since some time.

Although the tall and handsome man took him as a troublemaker who came to the police station at the first meeting, he had to admit later that he was a careful and gentle person.He has no relatives here, so he invites himself to dinner at home every day, remembering his somewhat tricky taste.Also, when he seems out of place when he reads alone, he can always bring the topic to himself, which also makes him familiar with the other members of the team.

Of course, Qiao Li later realized that Lin Mo's thoughts towards him were not so simple when he was unable to get up on the bed.This is something for later, let's not mention it for now.

The murder had to be solved for now.

After Xiao Zhang finished taking pictures, Lin Mo and Qiao Li carried the deceased off the chandelier.Qiao Li squatted there to check the corpse, while Lin Mo found the informant to question the situation.

There were two people who reported the case, one was a property manager and the other was a resident downstairs.

The downstairs resident is called Wang Jun. He is tall and thin. He wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses. He looks very ordinary. He looks sloppy in his clothes and clothes. He looks like a typical otaku.

When Lin Mo asked him something, he didn't dare to look at each other, he hesitated a bit.

Lin Mo could see that his bewilderment and panic had nothing to do with the case itself, it should be because of his personality.Although Wang Jun looks thin overall, he has no muscles in his limbs, and his stomach is relatively big. He usually stays at home and doesn't go out very much, and he doesn't exercise much.

Sure enough, Wang Jun here said that he is an online novelist. He spent a whole night writing a manuscript last night. He got up this afternoon to continue writing. As soon as he sat down in front of the computer, he found a lot of unknown water stains on his desk.

"At first I thought it was the water I accidentally knocked down last night, so I didn't pay attention. But then I heard a snap." Wang Jun adjusted his black-rimmed glasses. His eyes were red and swollen. I stayed up late last night, "I looked at the ceiling and found that the ceiling was leaking."

"I don't know much about the people upstairs, but you can't just ignore the water leaks!" Wang Jun seemed really not good at socializing, "I went upstairs and knocked on the door, but no one came to open it after knocking for a long time. The people next door were knocked out."

"I am a writer myself, as long as I submit my work before the deadline, I don't have the concept of going to work on a regular basis." Wang Jun scratched his head, and Lin Mo saw a few pieces of dandruff flying into the air with his movements , finally landed on the collar, and stood back with some disgust, but on the surface he still looked like a criminal policeman who was seriously investigating.

"And then? Since you don't know this family, how did you open the door?" Lin Mo asked him.

"Her door wasn't closed." Wang Jun was afraid that the police would suspect him, and his voice was a little anxious, "I really don't know this family. Later, I thought that today is Friday, and it was afternoon when I knocked on the door. Still at work. I don’t think I’ll have to wait until the family comes back to solve this problem!”

Lin Mo frowned, and found that this person was talking too much, and he didn't get to the point after talking for a long time.

"Afterwards, I stood at the door of this house, looked through the peephole, and twisted the doorknob, but found that the door was not closed. I thought about knocking on the door for a long time and no one answered, the door was still closed, so it couldn't be Got touched by a thief!"

"As soon as I opened the door, I went in and took a few steps, and found a woman in red hanging there. I was terrified at the time." Wang Jun touched his chest, as if he still had lingering fear.

Lin Mo looked at the property staff who had been silent all this time, and then turned to him: "According to Wang Jun, he should be the only one who found the dead first, so how did you find the deceased?"

The property staff also seemed to be frightened. His lips were purple and he was always nagging since he saw him. Now he trembled even more after being asked by Lin Mo. It was probably the first time he saw someone who was hanged. .

"Police...officer, it was he... who told me to come up..., as soon as I...received the call...as soon as I came up...that's it." The property staff pointed to Wang Jun, a little incoherent.

Wang Jun beside him also hurriedly said: "Yes, I forgot to mention just now. After I knocked on the door, I called the property management of this building. Then he came up when I saw the dead person."

Lin Mo looked at the two, and his tone was slightly lighter: "Don't be nervous, we are just a routine investigation, you are the first to find out, testimony is very important. Don't worry, we will not wrong you for what you have not done. "

The property manager took the water handed over by a female police officer next to him, took a few sips, took a few deep breaths, and continued: "Yes. This gentleman said on the phone that his upstairs apartment is leaking, and he asked me to come up. By the way, he gave me the address. Then, as soon as I came up, it became like this... What is this called! "

"Who called the police?"

"Me. After I realized it, I called the police. He was beside me at the time." Wang Jun glanced at the property.

"After that? Has anyone been here?" Lin Mo continued to ask.

"Afterwards, two or three people came downstairs. Some of them looked very busy and didn't even look this way. Some might think we looked strange, so they just glanced at us, but they didn't expect anyone to die." Wang Jun said.

"Do you have any information about this resident?" Lin Mo asked the property staff. Generally, the property has resident information, and as expected, the property manager nodded.

In the end, Gao Ce and Lin Mo went downstairs with the property owner, and Wang Jun was taken back to the police station by another policeman to make a statement.

The doorman knew that the two were policemen, so he turned on the surveillance video.

Lin Mo kept staring at the surveillance camera, and found that at six o'clock last night, a woman in a red dress entered the house and did not come out for a long time.

Suddenly the surveillance screen at the door of the deceased went dark, Lin Mo frowned, and asked the old man, "Why is it dark?"

The doorman's mental quality is also good, and the death on the floor he saw didn't seem to affect him: "Oh! It's normal, this community has been around for a long time, although the security facilities are good, but the monitoring has been broken for a while, you Look, one of them is broken too." After speaking, he pointed to the computer.

Lin Mo was just staring at the surveillance camera at the door of the deceased, and didn't pay attention to the pictures above. After the old man said this, he realized that several pictures had gone dark.

If the monitoring is broken, there is no way to do it. We can only investigate from the gate, which undoubtedly increases the scope of the investigation.Moreover, Lin Mo always felt that it was a coincidence that these monitors were broken, and there must be something wrong, but he didn't say it in person.

He thanked the guard uncle, and went to the gate of the community without stopping.

Here, Gao Ce also got information about the deceased from the property owner.The deceased was Tang Jiajia, 24 years old, and had worked in a securities company for 3 years with a good salary, so he was able to rent such a big house by himself.

But Tang Jiajia doesn't socialize very much with others. She goes home every day except for work, and on weekends she either works overtime or stays at home.

Gao Ce sighed, the more this kind of person is, the more difficult it is to investigate social relations, and after two weeks of rest, he will start to be busy.

He thought about it, and immediately edited a message and sent it out.

After a while, Lin Qing, who was resting at home, sounded an alert on her mobile phone.He took it over to look at the sender, the corners of his mouth raised, but drooped after he clicked on it.

It was Gao Ce's text message: "Sorry, there is a case. I can't go to drink coffee tonight. I will treat you next time."

Lin Qing looked at the text message and pondered for a moment, then became happy again. It's fine if there is a case, I just go to your side.
