ICS Homicide Tracking

"Do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?" Yan Ran asked with a smile to the familiar face in front of him in the interrogation room.

Seeing that the person on the other side was silent, Yan Ran lazily leaned on the back of the chair and said to himself: "I can see them, that's why I appeared at the scene of the crime."

Yan Ran raised his eyes to look at the person in the white coat on the opposite seat. His slender fingers played with the most common black fountain pen and it felt more upscale. He kept staring at the pen. Under the dim light of the interrogation room, the shadow of his slender eyelashes His eyes are closed, his eyes are dim and unclear, and the shadows under the light make his facial features more three-dimensional, but his lips are tightly pursed, and he is not an easy person to get along with at first glance.

After a long time, he looked at Yan Ran, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then tell me, what did you see?"

The man put down the pen in his hand and leaned back on the chair, almost writing the words "I believe you are a ghost" written on his face.

Yan Ran looked at the other side with such a beating expression, he let out a cold snort, and suddenly became angry, "Shi Han, you really hate me! We haven't seen each other for 12 years, no matter how you say it, we are old Friends, don't talk like that!"

They live in the same street, and the neighbors in the neighborhood all have children, but he and Shi Han are the closest, at least in Yan Ran's eyes, they play pretty well.But no matter how good their friendship was, they were still separated for 12 years, and they had never been in touch with each other during these 12 years.

To this day, he still remembers the tragedy at the neighbor's house 12 years ago. He clearly saw the most important clue, but no one was willing to believe him, and even kept away from him without stopping. There is still no explanation for the case 12 years ago. He misses it to this day, but the time has passed so long that he should be the only one who remembers it.

Shi Han lowered his eyebrows and remained silent for a long time. He picked up the pen in his hand again, tapped the table one by one, and said solemnly: "You have a case on your back now, and you are on business. Let me first explain why you appeared at the crime scene tonight." on site."

Yan Ran stared at Shi Han's hand, not at all frightened by his sarcastic remarks, and said with a laugh, "Don't be nervous, you've been knocking on the table since you were a child, what's the matter, are you scared or annoyed when you see me?" Can't sit still? Wearing a white coat? You are the forensic doctor here, so you shouldn't be asking me questions."

Hearing this, Shi Han immediately stopped the small movements in his hands, clasped his fingers together, and showed some impatience on his pretty face.

Yan Ran was not used to it at all, shut his mouth and leaned against the back of the chair, looking at Shi Han boredly, when they separated, Shi Han was 17 years old, Shi Han's appearance really hasn't changed much, no matter how he is, he is still a flower in the old street, It's just what happened to him, obviously he was a very gentle big brother before, but now he looks like no stranger.

"Section... Section Chief..." The team member sitting behind listening whispered, "The captain said that if you can't ask, let him do it!"

"No need." Shi Han replied.

Shi Han just sat in the interrogation room like this for a long time without being able to ask questions, and he would definitely lose face if he went out. Yan Ran curled his lips, straightened up, pointed to the paper in front of Shi Han and said, "I owe you! Actually tonight's Actually, it’s not too long…”

This year's summer has come very early, and the weather is muggy and hot.

But the wind on the top floor is so strong that... people can't stand up.

The security guard Lao Zhang walked leisurely on the road with a flashlight.

This area is the old campus, and college students usually don't like to come here, so his job of patrolling is very leisurely.

Suddenly there was a muffled sound, and Lao Zhang turned his head to take a look, thinking that another brick might have fallen somewhere in this dilapidated building.

The old campus is about to be rebuilt, and if it really collapses, he doesn't even need to register.

But after taking two steps forward, Lao Zhang felt that something was wrong, "Hiss—that sound just now, it doesn't sound like a brick falling to the ground!"

Thinking about it, he curiously wanted to go and have a look.It was very dark at night, and the street lights in the old campus had gone on strike a few years ago, and only a flashlight provided him with light.

"Snapped!"

Lao Zhang felt as if he had stepped on a water bank. When he looked down, he muttered, "It hasn't rained these days! Could it be the water pipes..."

Cracked.Before he could say those two words, under the guidance of the flashlight, Lao Zhang could clearly see where there was a puddle of water on the ground, and it was clearly a large pool of blood.

Looking at the bloodstains...

"Ah! This, this..."

Lao Zhang backed away in horror, lost his footing and fell to the ground. The flashlight slipped from his hand, and where the light shone, a female college student fell into a pool of blood with a blank stare.

"Dead!"

-

"Officer Liu, this student probably jumped off the building because of too much pressure from the exam, can you be more flexible and close the team earlier!" The principal followed behind the captain of the police force graciously.

Their University A is the number one university in City A, with a long history and a good style of study.At the end of the term, the school specially provided students with overnight study classrooms.

As soon as they heard that something had happened, the students in the all-night classroom, who could still read the book, went over to join in the fun.

Seeing more and more people gathered at the scene of the crime, the principal Mingli said that he was afraid of affecting the students, but he was worried about other things in his heart.

"Jump off the building by yourself? How can it be so simple."

With his schoolbag strap pinned to it in one hand and a thick stack of books in the other, Yan Ran raised his eyebrows and observed the dead surrounded by crowds.

He was just about to go back to the dormitory when he walked over uncontrollably.But he came all the time, couldn't help but take a second look, and immediately realized that something was wrong.

He loosened his grip on the strap of his schoolbag, pointed to the rooftop, and then pointed to the ground.While thinking, the thumb unconsciously rubbed against the knuckle of the index finger.

The deceased fell to the ground face up, this posture is too strange.Either they were still talking to people before jumping off the building, or they were pushed down.It can't be because you are afraid of heights, so you jump with your back on your back, right?

And look at the exposed skin of the deceased, there are still a few scars.In this way, the suspicion of homicide was aggravated.

If the headmaster wants to make a fuss, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.

Liu Zhen showed a little impatience with the principal's constant urging. He knew that the old campus of University A was about to be rebuilt. He was a policeman, and he didn't care about any economic losses. All he could do was solve the case as soon as possible.

A police officer noticed something was wrong and also saw the wounds on the deceased, so he hurriedly reported the situation to the boss.

"understood."

Liu Zhen has been working for many years, and has handled a lot of major and important cases. This case is obviously weird. He glanced at the eager principal, then turned on the phone, pulled a name out of the blacklist, and dialed.

"plum……"

"Li what Li, didn't you block me? Why are you looking for me! Zhong Wuyan if you have something to do, and Xia Yingchun if you have nothing to do! I don't want to talk to you today!"

Liu Zhen really couldn't bear Li Qi's violent temper, so he roughly explained the situation at the scene, "It's the meaning of the superior, anyway, this case belongs to you now."

As soon as he finished speaking, before Li Qi could respond, Liu Zhen hung up the phone.

Li Qi, who was hung up on the phone, looked at the phone screen angrily. He is the captain of the ICS investigation team. Was he the one who came and went as soon as he was called by Liu Zhen?

However, Li Qi had to listen to what the boss said, so he could only run downstairs and drive in a huff.

While cursing, he pointed to his own brain, angrily, "Do you think there is something wrong with Liu Zhen?"

Shi Han, who was sitting in the co-pilot, glanced at him, silently grasped the safety handle, and reminded: "Concentrate on driving."

Li Qi curled his lips. His driving skills are very good, so he didn't need Shi Han's reminder, and continued to mutter: "Yesterday, I had a big fight with me and blocked me. Let ICS take over the female college student's case of jumping off a building today. It sounds nice." The point is to find a job for us. To put it bluntly, isn’t it because you don’t want to offend the principal of University A? It’s childish to block me if you have nothing to do!”

Their ICS investigation team is different from the serious police force, and they are not affiliated with them. The ICS investigation team is directly supervised by the superiors, and mainly deals with unsolved and important cases.Logically speaking, Li Qi, the captain, should be at the same level as the police chief, Liu Zhen.

But the trouble is that Li is good at everything, but he talks a lot, and he speaks out, and it's not enough to offend others, but it's a bit annoying.

Anyway, the live police force of ICS doesn't get involved, and when Li Qi is annoying, Liu Zhen simply blocks him, and releases him after he calms down.It won't get in the way, and there are still insiders to play.

Shi Han sighed, automatically blocked the captain's complaints, turned on the phone to check the photos sent from the scene, and also found the problem of the falling posture and the bruises on the body surface.

Seeing Shi Han frown, Li Qi asked curiously: "How is it?"

Shi Han is the chief of the forensic department of the ICS investigation team. He is only 28 years old and has a lot of scientific research awards.He was going to be poached by Liu Zhen, but Li Qi broke his tongue and finally kept him.

Shi Han didn't say much, "The possibility of homicide is not ruled out. We'll wait for the body to go back and look at it. What we're looking for tonight is environmental evidence."

The police forensic doctor has already recorded the basic data report, so there is no need for him to do it again.

After discussing the case, Li Qi also became serious. He glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that the cars of other ICS people were following behind him. He speeded up and rushed to the scene of the crime.

Li Qi saw that Shi Han was carrying a toolbox, leading the forensic assistant and the physical evidence department to the scene, followed closely, and said, "It's not convenient to look at things at night, and I will ask someone to set up a lamp for you later. This case is left to the police." We don't have much time, and your forensic evidence will have to work harder tonight."

This case happened at the most famous university in the city, University A. So many students saw it, and the school kept putting pressure on them to solve the case as soon as possible.

"Yes!" The players replied in unison.

Shi Han responded briefly, and led the way to the abandoned campus, when he passed by the crowd, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.He turned his head to look at the crowd, always feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but he was sure that there was no one he knew in the crowd.

Seeing a group of cars driving towards the school, Yan Ran didn't like the excitement so much, so he left after taking a second look. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a few people in protective clothing passing by, and lamented that there were more people handling the case than onlookers. He didn't pay attention to the people getting off the car and left.

Shi Han looked around, slowly crouched beside the deceased, and calmly said: "According to the blood spatter at the scene, the possibility of throwing the corpse and falling from the building after death is ruled out."

Then he looked at the dead man's arm, which he had been paying attention to before, and continued: "Captain Li, investigate the mental state of the dead man before he was alive. I suspect that the dead man has a tendency to self-mutilate."

There are two types of scars on the deceased's arm, one is bruises with different shades but regular shape, and the other is a scar on the left arm from outside to inside, obliquely downward, with clear wounds and no signs of struggle.

Shi Han looked at both hands of the deceased, and according to the degree of joint deformation, the deceased was right-handed.However, the possibility of the deceased being scratched while in a deep coma cannot be ruled out, so Li Qi needs to send someone to visit and investigate.

The physical evidence was found from downstairs to upstairs, because the old campus has to be rebuilt recently, there are a lot of debris, construction workers left a lot of footprints and hand masks in the building, but all obvious fingerprints were collected and brought back to ICS, and no one on the scene was spared. A suspicious evidence.

Li Qi asked people to maintain the scene, and waited for Shi Han and the forensic assistant to pack up the body, and the physical evidence department collected all the evidence before closing the team. The principal of University A's words are not harsh, this is a school, they can change places to handle cases, and they can't affect the students.

After sending two teams to inquire about the deceased's clues on campus, Li Qi returned to the car with a bottle of water.

A teenager sat cross-legged on the trunk, tinkering with the computer. Seeing the captain handing him water, the teenager turned the screen of the laptop to show the captain, and said, "Captain, I just walked around. Surveillance is only available at the gate and at the bottom of the building in the old campus, and some of the surveillance cameras have been broken long ago, and the film cannot be tuned.”

As long as these monitors can be connected to electricity, he will try his best to try, but the old campus is too dilapidated, and the monitors are either damaged by rain or falling objects from dangerous buildings, so he really can't do anything.

Li Qi pointed to the building where the crime took place, and asked, "Where is the surveillance in that building?"

The boy shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "Don't mention it, the surveillance system in that building was the first to break down." He had seen it just now, and it was called a "no bones left" ah!It is estimated that it was smashed by the eaves.

The boy's name is Zhou Xiaofan, a member of the network department of the ICS investigation team. He was originally a hacker. He was caught by Li Qi once. Knowing that the teenager saw the garbage firewall of ICS, he immediately became motivated. Later, he saw the difficulty of ICS taking over the case, so he simply stayed and worked. "Okay, you go back and look for clues, and give me a detailed report on the deceased. I'll go back and read it later." Seeing that the forensic evidence personnel had left, Li Qi asked Zhou Xiaofan to follow them.

Seeing that the captain did not leave, Zhou Xiaofan asked, "The captain is still here?"

Li Qi nodded, "I'll check again to see if there are any omissions."

Watching the team members collect the physical evidence and drive away, Li Qi thought about squatting here all night, and decided to go buy something to eat first.

The old campus, which was surrounded by crowds just now, has returned to its previous dead silence.

But the silence was broken by the sound of footsteps after a while.

Yan Ran really didn't want to worry about it, but when he was joining in the fun just now, he seemed to have lost his review notes, and when he went all the way back, he found the old campus.

Few people would come to this place in the first place, and with the murder case just now, the old campus is even more silent now, which is a little scary.

But Yan Ran has long been used to this kind of scene, and finally found his review notes by the light of his phone's flashlight.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a phantom that looked like a dead person downstairs, and when he was about to touch it, a voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Who's there!"

-

The interrogation room of the ICS investigation team.

Yan Ran innocently shrugged his shoulders. He really just wanted to go back and look for his notes. It was unexpected to bump into the soul of the dead. "If it wasn't for your captain's interruption, I would almost have touched it."

"It's been so many years, and you're still playing this game." Shi Han frowned slightly. When he was a child, Yan Ran always liked to tell stories about how he saw ghosts, and he listened to them as stories, but now it's about a murder case, no amount of friendship can make Yan Ran like this Wanton.

Hearing this, Yan Ran squinted his eyes, slapped the table and stood up, looked down at the person sitting opposite him, and said in a deep voice, "Shi Han, you never believed me!"
