The daily life of a double-faced rookie and an awkward old detective

Yuan Che handed the information in his hand to Guo Turong, picked up his mobile phone and sent a message, adjusted his sitting posture and said, "How is Qu Jing's parents checking?"

Guo Turong pulled his chair to the side of Yuan Che, just sat down and unnaturally pulled the jeans that exposed his knees and said: "I found out that Qu Jing's parents are in City F through the address on Qu Jing's ID card. I contacted them just now, and they said they will come by train tonight, and they will probably arrive at noon tomorrow."

"Didn't they give any clues on the phone?"

"No, both of them were a little excited. Qu Jing's father kept talking about something and hung up the phone if something happened sooner or later."

"If they come, whoever is here will ask, the more detailed the better."

"Well, I see. I heard that there is a play at Qu Jing's house?" Guo Turong looked down at the report in his hand, carefully reading every word.

Yuan Che threw the whiteboard marker to Ke Ran, pointed to the whiteboard displaying the photos of the people involved in the case, then leaned on the chair with his legs crossed and said:

"The main event! Let me first talk about what we found when we went to Sui Yuliang and Qu Jing's home this afternoon. Now it is preliminarily concluded that Qu Jing was hijacked at home. There are no signs of damage to the doors and windows or forced entry. The trace inspection department found in the keyhole. A small amount of metal was removed, and the murderer probably provided a key to open the door by himself. As for whether Qu Jing arrived at the house first, or whether the murderer arrived early and hid there, it is still unclear.

Under the bed in the bedroom are the prints of half of men's leather shoes, size 42.Because there is no stride length, it can only be roughly judged from the shoe prints that this person is a male with a height of about 1.7 meters 1.7 to [-] meters [-].

In addition, the placement of items in their home is suspicious.The items in the living room, kitchen, and bathroom are a bit messy, but the items on the surface of the bedroom are arranged very neatly, and the clothes are all folded and placed on the head of the bed. This forms a strong contrast with the messiness of other rooms.

Everything in the bedroom has been wiped down without any fingerprints.After comparing the fingerprints in other rooms, five groups were found. Among them, the fingerprints of the deceased Qu Jing appeared on the cabinet, drawer, coffee table and the cabinet door of the kitchen.On the kitchen tableware, cosmetic bottles, drinking cups, cabinets, drawers, and toys, there is another set of fingerprints. The fingerprints of Sui Yuliang are relatively rare, some of which are already blurred, and there are also fingerprints on the toilet doorknob. , Sui Xin's fingerprints were seen on the coffee table, on the wardrobe door and on the toy.There were Sui Yufeng's fingerprints on the doorknob.

There is an iron box hidden in Qu Jing's chest of drawers, which contains ticket stubs for concerts and movies.No fingerprints were found on the iron box because it was placed in the pile of clothes, and the fingerprints on the ticket stub were not clear enough to identify.There is also a printed blessing card. Judging from the content of the card, this person who has close contact with Qu Jing is a person with certain knowledge, or pretends to be a person with knowledge, so the flower shop is a breakthrough.

Qu Jing's mobile phone was not found at the scene.Sui Yuliang's sister, Sui Yufeng, also called Qu Jing this morning, but no one answered the phone.We will call again in the afternoon and the phone is already turned off.Now I am checking Qu Jing's call records, but I need to apply to check the online records, which is a bit troublesome.A man across from Qu Jing's house saw Qu Jing around 06:30 the night before yesterday, as if he was about to go to work.Among the neighbors who inquired, he was the only one who saw Qu Jing before the crime.That's all we have at the moment. "

Guo Turong was looking at the report, and when Yuan Che finished speaking, he pondered and said:

"Distributing keys, killing people, and throwing away corpses, this is obviously planned and premeditated. Are the footprints under the bed intentionally left?"

Yuan Che nodded, watched as Ke Ran listed the clues he had just said on the whiteboard, and his eyes stayed on the words "shoe prints": "Well, the shoe prints are left in the dust under the bed. If the murderer wiped the floor , You should see dusty footprints on the floor. If the floor was wiped to cover up your whereabouts, it doesn’t make sense to leave this footprint. So the footprints are probably left on purpose to interfere with our sight.”

"Then the murderer may not be 1.7 meters eight, may be shorter, and may even be a woman."

Yuan Che's phone vibrated, and he glanced at Liu Lingling who was asking the question, then lowered his head and slid the phone, and asked with a chuckle, "If a woman carries a ninety-pound corpse, do you think it's possible?"

"What can't be done? I can lift 150 catties. Would you like to try?"

Yuan Che waved his hand: "It's not surprising that you can move, but not all women are like you."

Guo Turong frowned and looked at the whiteboard, and walked up to draw a description of fingerprints with a pen:

"The fingerprints of their family are also very strange. Qu Jing is the hostess, so how could there be no her fingerprints on the tableware in the kitchen? But someone else's? Qu Jing's fingerprints seem to only appear in the place where things are stored."

Gu Huayu coughed unnaturally and said:

"Is there another person living in their house?"

Yuan Che shook his head: "Just now I confirmed with Sui Yufeng again, as far as she knows, no one else lives in their house. The neighbors also didn't say that anyone else lives here. Of course, it doesn't rule out that the neighbors are unfamiliar and don't pay attention."

"Then whose fingerprints belong to this kitchen? They shouldn't hire a babysitter for their conditions, right?"

Ke Ran stared straight at the whiteboard, and suddenly walked up to Guo Turong with a brisk walk and snatched the report from him.

Guo Turong stood up and looked at the page that Ke Ran was staring at, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "What did you think of?"

Ke Ran seemed to have just remembered that his actions just now seemed a bit inappropriate.He looked at Guo Turong, who was not paying attention, and suddenly felt that the room became quiet.He waited around and finally set his eyes on Yuan Che, only to be more sure that his behavior was not only inappropriate, but also suspected of provoking public outrage.

Several people in the room stared at him, and Yuan Che frowned even more, showing slight displeasure. He hurriedly returned the report in his hand to Guo Turong and said angrily:

"No, I'm just checking"

Guo Turong took the report and looked at the page Ke Ran just read and asked, "Confirm what?"

"That's right, the toy. The toy has that strange fingerprint on it."

Gu Huayu didn't know, so he asked, "And then?"

"That's right, I don't think this female corpse belongs to Qu Jing."

Yuan Che stretched out his hand to signal Guo Turong to hand him the report, turned to the page of fingerprints and said:

"reason?"

Ke Ran licked his lips: "There are strange fingerprints and Sui Yufeng's fingerprints on the toy. Usually, only those who accompany the child are likely to touch the toy. If the fingerprint is Qu Jing's, she is the child's mother. It makes no sense that there are no fingerprints on the toy. Moreover, this fingerprint appeared in more places in the room, but the fingerprints of the deceased appeared in very few places, as if he was a guest or came uninvited."

Guo Turong was thinking: "You mean a thief?"

"You also said that her fingerprints appeared where the things were stored. That means she was probably looking for something."

"The deceased's DNA shows that Sui Xin and Sui Xin are mother-child relationship, this is not wrong."

"It's not wrong, I tested it twice." Zhao Chenguang wiped the sweat from his head and walked into the three groups of offices, as if he had just come back from outside, followed by Ling Xiaoyu, who was also sweating profusely, both of them were short of breath .

"Why do you check twice? Is there any problem?" As an old forensic doctor, the basic data of DNA needs to be checked twice, which is too abnormal.

"The DNA test of Sui Xin and the fetus in the afternoon showed that they had no parental relationship with Sui Yuliang. And Xiao Yu called me and said that she went to the hospital where Qu Jing was hospitalized today and adjusted Qu Jing's admission information. The data showed that the hospitalization was Because the ribs and forearm bones were fractured, plate fixation was performed. But I checked Qu Jing’s limbs and found no such condition. So we took an X-ray on the female body in the afternoon. The results showed that the female body had no old fracture lines and no treatment Therefore, this female corpse is not Qu Jing. Sorry for my negligence, because I have a parental relationship with Sui Xin's DNA, I unilaterally concluded that she is Sui Xin's mother. Unexpectedly, Qu Jing is not Sui Xin biological mother."

Not only Zhao Chenguang, but everyone did not think of this possibility. They preconceived that the person who matched Sui Xin's DNA was Qu Jing.

Although the dead woman's head was never found, and almost the entire embankment was searched, the search team's final report was that the dead woman's head was not in the river.However, the cause of death of the deceased can be basically judged correctly on the remaining body.The source of the corpse was also concluded through DNA test results.The point is that Qu Jing has indeed disappeared these few days.All the clues pointed to the deceased being Qu Jing, and the direction of investigation began to follow Qu Jing's identity, but now it was discovered that the identity of the deceased was wrong.

Liu Hecheng spoke after a silence:

"If the deceased was not Qu Jing, but Sui Xin's biological mother, then who is this woman? Why did Qu Jing raise someone else's child, and where is Qu Jing?"

Zhao Chenguang took the water Ling Xiaoyu handed over and drank a couple of sips to calm down his breathing due to rapid walking:

"I've already searched the missing persons list of a public security bureau, and I've ruled out all the women who agree with the age characteristics, that is to say, no one has reported this female body as missing."

Liu Lingling folded her hands and leaned on the desk, and said puzzledly: "The key is why the tattoo on the deceased's body is so coincidentally the same as Sui Xin's painting? Could it be that both Qu Jing and the deceased have such tattoos?"

Yuan Che lightly tapped his forehead with his index finger, recalling:

"Do you remember Sui Xin's painting? Sui Xin told Sui Yufeng that the painting was her mother, but not her mother. In other words, Sui Xin probably knew of the existence of the deceased, or Qu Jing told him that the deceased was her mother, but in order to For some reason, you can't call mom in front of others. A child may be confused by such a request, so why do you say this?"

Liu Lingling said: "That's the problem. The deceased's tattoo is above the hip bone. Isn't this position that everyone can see? Sui Xin is already five years old, will she still go to the women's bath? How did he see the tattoo? pattern?"

Ke Ran walked to the whiteboard and drew a line under the male neighbor's name: "What if the dead can be exposed?"

Yuan Che put away his long legs, stood up, walked to the front of the whiteboard, glanced at the criss-crossing lines and said, "You mean, that Qu Jing who is wearing revealing clothes?"

Ke Ran: "Well, didn't we once say that Qu Jing doesn't want her neighbors to know what she does, and she should be very careful at ordinary times, why would she suddenly wear revealing clothes. If the person wearing revealing clothes is not Qu Jing, It makes sense. If this person usually likes to wear revealing clothes, it would be easy for Sui Xin to see this tattoo."

Yuan Che nodded, thinking about it and said: "Well, that means the deceased had been to Qu Jing's house the day before the incident. Then what did she do? What was she looking for? According to the on-site inspection of Qu Jing's house, it was man-made. Coverage and traces of struggle, these signs indicate that this is the place where the dead woman was tied up. Let’s first think about why she went to Qu Jing’s house. How did she get in?”

Ke Ran: "What if the metal remains of the key in the keyhole are left by the deceased who opened the lock with a spare key?"

Yuan Che: "No new keys were found at the scene, only a bunch of old keys on the shoe cabinet at the door. The new keys were taken away. It is very likely that the keys were made by the murderer."

Ke Ran: "The key in the room was held by Qu Jing. It means that the deceased took Qu Jing's key to Qu Jing's home. This shows that Qu Jing probably used to be with the deceased. Judging from the time, it should be What happened on the 23rd. Besides Qu Jing’s key, did the deceased also take her cell phone? It’s even possible that she hijacked Qu Jing for some reason, so Qu Jing disappeared.”

Yuan Che: "This way the phone is most likely to be taken away by the murderer."

Ke Ran: "The technical department is investigating the clues of the mobile phone. I think the identity of the dead woman can be checked from the people Qu Jing had contacted. Qu Jing was a bartender, but raised someone else's child. That person must be related to her." Very good, or there are other reasons to raise the child for her. By the way, check Qu Jing's personal account to see if there is anyone who gives Qu Jing money on a regular basis."

Yuan Che: "I agree, the possibility that the deceased also worked in the bar is very high, so, Lao Guo, you go to the bar tonight and pay attention."

Guo Turong said with a smile: "You just remembered me?"

Only then did Yuan Che realize that the heated discussion with Ke Ran just now had started, and he forgot that there were other people around him.

Seeing Ke Ran's embarrassing expression, he sat back on his chair with some depression and raised his chin at Liu Lingling:

"Tell me about the results of your investigation."

Guo Turong signaled Liu Lingling to wait a moment, and said to Yuan Che, "Should we confirm whether Qu Jing is the victim or the perpetrator?"

Yuan Che tilted his head slightly and asked:

"You mean, the possibility that Qu Jing is the murderer cannot be ruled out?"
