Criminal Investigation: Martial Law in the City

"Some men don't know how to talk to girls at all, but flirting with brothers is the same thing." He Meng secretly observed the two people talking small things next to him, and complained to Lao Gao.

Lao Gao smacked his lips: "The key is that the person involved didn't realize it, and got used to this way of getting along over the years, and laughed at us for thinking too much."

The alley where the murder occurred was too narrow, two policemen had already gone in to collect evidence, and He Meng and the others, including Xu Ji who came later, stood outside and waited.

When He Meng noticed this, Xu Jigang smoothed Fang Ketang's locks of hair up his forehead, and was telling him about the two new faces in the alley.

"The man's name is He Ziran, a 39-year-old trace inspector who made a mistake and was shot down by the Provincial Bureau. Everyone calls him Lao He. He has a good temper and is easy to get along with. The female name is Tian Mo, who is also a trace inspector. He works the night shift. He has a weird personality, but he's also a nice person."

Fang Ketang nodded, trace inspector, just like Sister Mengmeng.He asked: "Why don't you separate the forensic department and the trace inspection department? The desks are all in one place, which looks like a wild criminal police team."

"Every bureau will be divided, and we have one too. But you've also seen that, aside from He Dong's large team, the criminal investigation team only has eleven or twelve people, so there's no need to divide them up so much, as long as you work well. And we It mainly manages the cases in the old city, and it’s not too many things to handle, and it’s all sorted together after a long time.”

Fang Ketang asked again: "Then the two of them were on the night shift last night?"

Xu Ji: "Well, the case happened before eight o'clock in the morning, and the two of them have to try this case with us. You are here, I will go and have a look."

In fact, it is not an alley, but there is a distance between the orphanage and the adjacent residential buildings that can pass two people, and now it has slowly evolved into a place for garbage bins.

Xu Ji raised the cordon at the entrance of the alley and slightly lowered his head to look at the two people in front of him to collect evidence. He Ziran saw him coming and called back: "Captain Xu."

Tian Mo also turned her head and called out: "Captain Xu!"

Xu Ji hummed and continued to watch them take photos and collect evidence. After looking around, he only used a physical evidence bag and put a mobile phone.

"Only the phone?"

He Ziran was still taking pictures of the footprints: "Yes, there is only this one valid evidence at the scene, and even these footprints are probably not from last night."

Tian Mo turned back to take the survey box, Xu Ji took two steps back and continued to observe the scene.

A simple abandoned alley, two trash cans, the victim Yu Taichang fell sideways slightly in a pool of dried blood, and was stabbed in the heart.

A very common scene of murder with a knife.Xu Ji moved two steps to the left and bent down to see that there was a wound on his forehead, which was quite similar to Wang Baomin's, but now it was so bloodstained that he couldn't see the specific situation clearly.

Xu Ji frowned. In yesterday's case, Wang Baomin also had a wound on his head.

After looking at the scene, Xu Ji looked back and forth again, and walked out: "Yesterday's case has not yet reached the procuratorate to reorganize the case and make a final decision. The new one died, and it is estimated that the case will be merged. Who reported it to the police?"

He Meng: "It's still Aunt Liu, the one who called the police yesterday. She saw it this morning when she came out to throw out the trash after cooking for the children."

"What about people?"

"I fainted from crying and called an ambulance to take her away."

After hearing this, Xu Ji remembered that the cooking aunt said that Yu Taichang was her son yesterday.Seeing Fang Ketang tilting his head and looking in curiously, Xu Ji flicked his head: "It's nothing to look at, a knife in the chest, everything else should be gone."

Tian Mo came from behind: "Captain Xu, there is also a knife in the back!" Then he looked at Fang Ketang, "Hello, handsome man! I'm Tian Mo!"

Seeing Tian Mo's energetic appearance, Fang Ketang bent his eyes and said with a smile, "Hello, I'm Fang Ketang."

The forensic doctor came in after the trace was detected, and Shao Gu watched the two of them come out, packed up their things and put on gloves to prepare for the preliminary autopsy, Xu Ji also walked in together.

Shao Gu inspected it carefully, and turned back to tell Xu Ji: "The forehead was contused by a blunt instrument, and the margins of the two wounds on the chest and back were neat, and the external bleeding was obvious. The stabbing wound by a sharp instrument is tentative, except for an extra knife in the back. , and the rest are almost duplicate injuries from Wang Baomin's case yesterday. It's almost the same, but we have to wait until we go back to the game to test the depth of the wound and internal organ damage."

Xu Ji hummed, squatted down and looked at the two wounds on the chest, back and back of the deceased with Shao Gu's hand.The deceased was wearing a white washed cotton blue T-shirt, baggy shorts, and slippers.It was as if he was asked out when he just changed his clothes and was going to bed, and he was dressed completely differently from the daytime.

"Let's load the car." Xu Ji went out and recruited He Ziran and Lao Gao to come over to help Shao Gu bag the body, and called He Meng to come over, "Tian Mohe naturally stayed with me to restore the scene, Lao Gao He Meng followed Shao Gu go back together."

"Okay!" He Meng helped them out of the car to carry out the inspection and drawing things, and then asked, "Where is Teacher Fang?"

Xu Ji looked at Fang Ketang, "He...where do you want to be?"

Fang Ketang didn't want to ride in the same car with the corpse, so he said, "I'll stay."

Xu Ji hummed, "Old He follows me first."

Fang Ketang and Tian Mo stood chatting in front of Xu Ji's car. Tian Mo and He Meng had very similar personalities, they were both lively and talkative types, and they had obviously accepted He Meng's brainwashing, and firmly believed that he was having an affair with the captain.

The repeater Fang Ketang repeated yesterday's words again: "No, we just grew up together and have a good relationship."

Tian Mo gave him a look of 'I understand', and asked again: "I heard that Teacher Fang asked the suspect on the first day of his arrival? So amazing!"

Fang Ketang hecked a little shyly, and said: "When a blind cat meets a dead mouse, her mind is not firm, and Sister Mengmeng's guess was accurate before, and she guessed that she was unprepared for the pain point, and later she messed up and made mistakes. gone."

Tian Mo picked up her mobile phone and clicked on "No Season Talk" to add Fang Ketang as a friend, and changed the note for him in person, calling him Xiao Fangtangtangzi.

What the hell?It looks like a Japanese name.

"What does that mean?"

"I mean you are handsome and cute." Tian Mo winked at him.

At this time Xu Ji and He Ziran came out, Xu Ji looked around, and on the left was a row of single-storey simple shops, because this place is a bit remote, and it is not a residential area, only the two small breakfast shops in the middle are probably still there. open again.

In the orphanage on the right, separated from this small alley by the same wall are the two small single rooms of Wang Baomin and Yu Taichang, which were known yesterday. Yu Taichang's mother lives in the guard room at the gate, and there should be no movement.

Seeing Xu Ji frowning slightly, Fang Ketang said to Tian Mo: "Just looking at Captain Xu's expression, you can tell that this is difficult."

Tian Mo whispered back to him: "Captain Xu... How can he have any expression?"

"Tian Mo." Xu Ji said.

"exist!"

"Knock on the next few rooms to see if anyone lives there. If so, ask if you heard anything last night."

"Yes!"

Alright, now Fang Ketang can only chat with Xu Ji: "Ding Dong, is there any progress?"

"I have no clue, the surveillance only captured the section of the road at the gate of the orphanage."

Meow meow meow?Xu Ji has always been omnipotent in Fang Ketang's eyes, this is the first time he heard Xu Ji say such a thing.

Xu Ji waved to Fang Ketang: "Come here."

Fang Ketang didn't know why, so he walked over and stood in front of Xu Ji, and he turned around with his shoulders on his shoulders, and finally made him stop at an angle facing him.

Fang Ketang only felt that the scene was very strange, it was fine for Xu Ji to keep silent, and He Ziran was still watching him being turned around very seriously.

Tian Mo trotted over: "Captain Xu, no."

"Okay, let's go back first."

When he returned to the bureau, Shao Gu's results hadn't come out yet, so Xu Ji printed out a few photos and took everyone to the conference room to do preliminary case restoration.

After everyone had arrived, Xu Ji took a whiteboard marker and tapped on the photo posted in the middle of the whiteboard.

"The deceased Yu Taichang, male, 45 years old, the person in charge of Lantian Orphanage in Hengjiang City, his home address is Room 2, Building 412, Xinjing Community, Old Town. It is a very old community, but his wife and children live there. In the Lantian Orphanage, they only go back on a weekly basis. There are no bad habits, and the relationship between people is good, "

"The preliminary judgment is that there are no witnesses, and it is another fantasy case. Tell me your thoughts."

Lao Gao just wanted to speak, and just as I said my word, Shao Gu knocked on the door with the information and came in and sat down: "Captain Xu, the acupressure on the corpse will fade at nine o'clock sharp, combined with the corpse's temperature It is preliminarily determined that the time of death was between eleven o'clock last night and one o'clock this morning."

Lao Gao opened his mouth again: "I..."

Shao Gu didn't finish his sentence, so he directly interrupted Lao Gao's words: "As I speculated in the morning, he died violently. The wound was about 10cm deep, the bottom of the wound was flat, and there was no bridge between tissues in the wound. I went with my heart."

Seeing that he had finished speaking, Xu Ji pointed at Lao Gao with a pen: "Say."

Lao Gao finally got the chance to speak: "Actually, I have nothing useful to say. I just think it's the first time I've seen two people holding hands in such a simple murder case. This murderer is really not afraid of being accused." Find out the characteristics."

After hearing this, Xu Ji asked Lao Gao: "Yesterday, the murderer in Wang Baomin's case was almost confirmed to be Lin Xiao. Do you think that the murderer was someone else, Yu Taichang?"

Lao Gao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized, that's right, Lin Xiao has already been detained, and she would not be the one who killed Taichang last night: "Oh, I forgot, I was caught in the last case."

Xu Ji tapped on Lin Xiao's photo on the whiteboard and continued: "Not only did Lao Gao think so, but I also thought so just now, and the murderer probably thought so too. Yu Taichang's case must have something to do with Lin Xiao, or there is something behind her. A group, or we caught the wrong one, Lin Xiao is a cover."

Xu Ji pointed to Fang Ketang again: "Come here."

"Ah?" Fang Ketang widened his eyes, where are he going?He stood up and crossed the table to Xu Ji's place in front of the whiteboard. Xu Ji supported his shoulders and put him in a position facing him, perpendicular to the whiteboard, just like in the morning.

Then he took a step forward and hugged Fang Ketang.

Everyone in the audience gasped:? ? ?What to do!

Meow meow meow? ? ?Fang Ketang is also full of milk cats barking, why is this?

"Look." After finishing speaking, Xu Ji changed the pen to his left hand, held the pen in his hand like a knife, and inserted it behind Fang Ketang's heart, then let go and pushed him lightly to push the two of them away again. It was inserted into his heart from the front.

After the demonstration, Xu Ji signaled Fang Ketang, the tool man, to return to his seat. Fang Ketang nodded and sat back in a daze. The moment he sat on the chair, he realized that this was a demonstration of killing methods.

"With a short knife 10cm long, if a grown man wants to hide, he can easily dodge it, even with his arms, palms, or escape. But he is the same as Wang Baomin, except for two fatal knife wounds on his body and the unexplainable one on his forehead. There are no other wounds other than the wound, indicating that the murderer is at least someone they are familiar with."

Xu Ji continued: "The deceased was stabbed twice in the heart, one at the front and one at the back. I have demonstrated it just now, and this is the most reasonable way I can think of. Hug first, stab the first knife unexpectedly, and then this At that time, I immediately pushed it away and made a second stab, it was safe, and even if I was dead, I would not be able to resist."

"Free speech."

The few people below were whispering, Fang Ketang leaned over the table and listened to their discussion, all he said was that the guess was reasonable and that it was indeed an acquaintance who committed the crime.Fang Ketang sat up straight after listening for a while and looked at Xu Ji who was standing in front of the whiteboard, and found that Xu Ji was also looking at him.

Fang Ketang blinked, then silently raised his hand again, and halfway through it, he remembered what Xu Ji had said, and he put it down again: "I think the two forehead injuries are in the same place and similar in size, so it must not be accidental. It may have some meaning or logo, for example, the same gang always leaves the same letters after committing crimes, or children who had a miserable childhood and could not eat candy will often eat candy when they grow up, whether they like it or not To make up for the beginning.

So I think it may be that the murderer has an obsession with the forehead, maybe it is something that the deceased has experienced on the forehead, or what the murderer has experienced on the forehead.For example, the murderer's forehead was injured due to some actions of the deceased, and the murderer finally chose to take revenge in this extreme way. "

Xu Ji nodded: "It's reasonable. But there is no scar on Lin Xiao's head, it may have something to do with the person behind Lin Xiao. Lao Gao will go to the first floor to go through a formality to change the result of Wang Baomin's case and bring it out of the system It will be retried together with the Yu Taichang case."

"Yes, Team Xu."

"He Meng, Fang Ketang, you guys will go to interrogate Lin Xiao again in two and a half hours. The others are gone, check his mobile phone records and bank records. The two of you stay with me to formulate questions to be asked later."

Everyone packed up the materials they brought and left, leaving three people in the conference room.

Xu Ji took out a blank piece of paper at the side, took a ballpoint pen, and wrote down the associations he could think of, reading while writing: "Forehead injury, the relationship between Yu Taichang and Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao's experience in the orphanage, The similarities between Yu Taichang and Wang Baomin, the secret of the Lantian Orphanage."

Fang Ketang added on the side: "Did Lin Xiao be ordered?"

Inspired by this sentence, He Meng said, "Is there a criminal group behind Lin Xiao, similar to the No. [-] Executor who specializes in extrajudicial law enforcement?"

Xu Ji's pen paused for a moment, and after writing the four words extrajudicial law enforcement, a thought flashed across him: "The Lantian Orphanage only has these two male directors, and the others are all women, but these two directors dead. Is this orphanage..."

Fang Ketang took his words: "There is definitely something wrong with this orphanage. It is such an old orphanage. There were only a dozen children when we went there yesterday. It stands to reason that it should have been demolished long ago, right? The old city of Hengjiang City is not particularly poor. In addition to this orphanage, we have another one here, which is quite big, I remember. Why not combine them and send these children there too?

And when we interrogated Lin Xiao yesterday, she said that she later maintained an improper relationship with Wang Baomin for money, but we also found out that she was also working hard in college, and she couldn't find a cold and indifferent person for no reason. If Wang Baomin does this kind of thing, there must be a sign or something. For example, Wang Baomin has done something to her before, or she has something to do with it.Moreover, Wang Baomin is already dead, and there is no proof of his death. If Lin Xiao insists that Wang Baomin forced her to do something, she will not only give a lenient sentence, but also let out another breath of anger.So I think this Lin Xiao is hiding something. "

After Fang Ketang spoke impassionedly and looked at Xu Ji staring at him, his tone softened immediately, a little embarrassed: "I'm done...are you right..."

Xu Ji smiled lightly, supporting the table with one hand, and raised the other hand to rub his head: "It's great."

He Meng watched silently and raised her hand to touch her dog's head: "Oh, He Meng, you are amazing!"
