Escape From the Library

【Death of a Lawyer-05】

It is very convenient to transfer money in modern society. If you have mobile banking, you can transfer a large amount of money within an hour. There are fewer and fewer occasions where cash is used. There must be some dark secrets in Zhou Ziyang's drawers and boxes with so much cash.

Team Lin turned to Jiang Pingce: "Xiao Jiang, what do you think of the cash?"

Jiang Pingce found that the captain liked to ask him questions. Of course, he is currently Team Lin's apprentice in name, a small trainee policeman. Maybe his performance will affect the final score?

Jiang Pingce sorted out his thoughts and replied seriously: "The reason for not using the bank transfer is probably because the money cannot be transferred to a certain account openly, leaving a transfer record. In this case, either someone bribed him in private He didn’t dare to deposit the cash in the bank card; or, he stole more than E cash secretly and wanted to conduct some illegal transactions with others.”

Whether it is a private bribe or a secret transaction, cash is indeed a safer way than transferring money.

Team Lin nodded appreciatively, and said to the colleagues behind him, "Go to the bank to check Zhou Ziyang's account flow in recent years, and whether he has withdrawn a large amount of cash."

The two colleagues sprang into action immediately.

Other colleagues continued to search for evidence around the office, and also extracted all fingerprints left in the office.

Ke Shaobin was sitting at his desk, sorting out the data in Zhou Ziyang's computer. His mouse suddenly froze, he adjusted his glasses, looked at a document carefully, and said after a while: "Team Lin, I found a file in the deceased's computer. The divorce agreement, this agreement is filled with the names of Zhou Ziyang and Liu Lan."

Lin Wei rushed forward, frowning and looking at the divorce agreement, Jiang Pingce also followed.

Ke Shaobin turned his head and looked at Jiang Pingce, and calmly copied these materials into the laptop he carried with him. This is Ke Shaobin's own computer, and he can also show it to his teammates when the time comes.

The first two lines of the agreement are personal information such as the names of the husband and wife, ID cards, etc., and then it reads: "Because the relationship between the husband and wife has broken down and they cannot continue to live, I have decided to divorce after rational consideration. The following agreement has been reached on the rights and obligations involved. "

Article [-], the principle of voluntariness, divorce is voluntary, without any coercion.

Article 1, ownership of real estate. The real estate located at 33-01, 33-02, and 33-03, Unit 7, Building A, Jinzuo Jiayuan, and Villa C[-], Villa Villa, Qingtang District, were purchased by Zhou Ziyang before marriage. The above four properties still belong to Zhou Ziyang;

Article 200. Ownership of cash, stocks, etc.: The man’s annual income is about 100 million in eight years after marriage, most of which are used for living expenses and child support, and the remaining deposit in the current account is 50 million. According to the principle of equal property sharing between husband and wife, he will pay the woman [-] in cash;

Article [-], child support, since the woman does not have a job and the man’s income is stable, the son Zhou Chengze is raised by the man, and the woman has the right to visit and does not need to pay alimony.

Seeing this, Jiang Pingce couldn't help frowning—isn't this divorce agreement equivalent to the woman leaving the house without leaving the house? !Only take 50 to get rid of the woman who has been with him for 8 years?This lawyer Zhou is really cold-blooded!

When I asked my colleagues in the law firm before, someone mentioned that Zhou Ziyang's wife, Liu Lan, is the belle of Beijiang University of Political Science and Law. She graduated from a prestigious school and she is so beautiful. It is impossible for her to find a job.The agreement mentioned that "the woman does not have a job". Maybe E University gave up her job for the sake of her family and became a full-time wife?

As a result, not only could they not be allocated a house when they divorced, but they could not even keep custody of their children.

Ke Shaobin whispered: "It's terrible to marry such a scheming lawyer. Maybe before getting married, he planned how to minimize the loss of his property if he divorced one day."

After all, lawyers know the marriage law best and know how to fight for their own legal rights.Of course, this kind of lawyers who even plan on their own wives is also a minority, and it is a strange thing in the legal world.

Jiang Pingce said with a sullen face: "His annual income is so high that he could afford a villa before marriage. I don't believe he only has 100 million deposits. Could it be that when he decided to divorce, he secretly transferred the couple's property? If his wife If you know this, you may also want to kill him."

Lin Wei stroked his chin and said, "It seems that we have to talk to this Ms. Liu Lan."

Last night, the police team worked overtime overnight and found the contact information of the deceased Zhou Ziyang's family members. His parents had long since passed away. Team Lin wanted to contact his wife to claim the body, but they couldn't get through the phone.

Team Lin looked at Jiang Pingce: "Xiao Jiang, try calling Liu Lan again."

Jiang Pingce dialed Liu Lan's phone, and after a few busy beeps, the phone was picked up with a very gentle voice: "Hi, hello, may I ask who you are?"

There are noisy background sounds around, and the mechanical sound of "No. 17 Yu Minhui, please go to No. 3 clinic" can be clearly heard.

Is it a hospital?

Jiang Pingce said calmly: "Ms. Liu, hello, I am a policeman from the Criminal Police Brigade of Qingtang District. There is a case that requires your assistance in the investigation. Please spare some time today to come to the police force to take notes."

Liu Lan was a little surprised: "Police? Is something wrong?" There were footsteps in her ears, and she must have come to a quiet corner with her mobile phone: "Sorry, I'm in the hospital, and it's a bit noisy here. "

Lin Wei took the phone from Jiang Pingce and said, "Ms. Liu, did you contact your husband last night?"

Liu Lan was silent for a moment, and said: "We have been separated for a long time, and I don't know about his affairs."

Captain Lin said directly: "I regret to inform you that your husband fell to his death last night, please go to the police force to claim his body as soon as possible."

Liu Lan's voice suddenly raised: "What? Falling from a building?"

Team Lin said: "Zhou Ziyang, he fell to his death from the Xinghe Building last night, please come and claim his body."

Liu Lan's voice trembled slightly: "You are not liars, are you?"

Team Lin said seriously: "I'm Lin Wei, the captain of the criminal police team in Qingtang District, police number 78513, you can call the police team to verify."

Liu Lan was silent for a moment, then hung up the phone.

Jiang Pingce took back his mobile phone and immediately sent a message to Liu Zhaoqing: "Brother, please check a patient named Liu Lan. She is currently seeing a doctor in your hospital. We need her detailed medical information."

After a while, Liu Zhaoqing replied: "She is in the psychiatric department. She has been to the hospital three times in the past year. The diagnosis record every time is depression. The doctor also prescribed medicine for depression."

Depression?

Is it because you know that your husband is cheating on you and you want to divorce her, and that's why you gradually become depressed?

She had sufficient motives to kill Zhou Ziyang, but how did she, a woman, plan carefully to push Zhou Ziyang off the roof of the building?How did she escape the surveillance of the building?

This case is full of doubts, and the specific conclusion will have to wait until Liu Lan is seen.

***

Colleagues took away all the case materials that Zhou Ziyang had handled, and there were no other clues in the office, so everyone closed the team.

The forensic doctor E quickly gave the results of the autopsy.

Xin Yan immediately sent the result to Jiang Pingce's mobile phone: "The cause of death was a fractured skull and internal organs caused by falling from a height. Alcohol residues were found in the blood, which proves that he had drunk alcohol before his death. From the stomach contents Judging from the degree of digestion, he ate supper and ate steak within two hours before his death. Semen was detected in his underwear, and he may have had sex with someone before his death. Skin flakes that did not belong to him were found in his nails and Bloodstains, testing genes."

It seems that Zhou Ziyang had quite a lot of experience before his death.

He probably had supper at around 10 o'clock last night, and then had sex with his mistress before dragging his suitcase into the building; or, his mistress Chen Yueqin was waiting for him in the building, and the two went to the office of Xinghe Building Looking for excitement in the dark, Zhou Ziyang fell on the roof of the building after finishing the work.

The skin flakes and blood under his nails, maybe he scratched the murderer while struggling?

Jiang Pingce organized the existing materials of the case into a document and sent it to Yue Xingwen.

Yue Xingwen launched an investigation in the law firm, mainly investigating the two suspects, lawyer and Chen Yueqin.

The police summoned Chen Yueqin. She denied that she had an affair with Zhou Ziyang, and insisted that she came to him for legal advice: "Officer, how many times do I have to tell you before you believe me? My sister and my brother-in-law are at odds. When it comes to divorce, I just consulted Lawyer Zhou, how to let my sister get the custody of the house and children!"

Team Lin asked, "Has your sister's lawsuit started yet?"

Chen Yueqin: "The fight was over long ago. My sister only got the house, and the custody of the child was given to my brother-in-law."

Jiang Pingce's heart suddenly moved - yesterday, Xingwen heard Zhou Ziyang's impatient phone call, could it be related to this case?If you are not satisfied, you can appeal. Is it Zhou Ziyang's conversation with this "sister"?Or was he working on another case?

Since Chen Yueqin refused to admit it, Team Lin simply threw the results of the genetic test to her: "The skin tissue and blood stains in the nails of the deceased Zhou Ziyang are completely consistent with Ms. Chen's genes. He also found more than E Ms. Chen in his office." fingerprints, how do you explain that?"

Chen Yueqin's complexion suddenly changed.

Team Lin immediately took out the necklace found on the rooftop: "Is this yours?"

When Chen Yueqin saw this necklace, she felt as if she had seen a ghost, her lips began to tremble violently: "I, I and Attorney Zhou have been together for half a year. When I consulted him on legal issues last year, I found that he is gentle and gentle. , and a talented man, who is fascinated by ghosts for a while, just follow him..." She paused, and her voice suddenly became sharp: "But I didn't kill him, I love him so much, how could I kill him!"

Jiang Pingce asked in a low voice: "Do you know that Zhou Ziyang is going to divorce his wife?"

Chen Yueqin bit her lips tightly, and after a while, she said in a voice like a mosquito: "I know, he said he would marry me after the divorce."

Team Lin smiled and said: "It seems that he has given you a lot of promises? If you find out that these promises are all he is lying to you, he is just playing with you, will you become angry and push him off the roof? "

Chen Yueqin's face suddenly turned pale as paper: "Impossible!"

At this moment, Jiang Pingce received a message from Yue Xingwen: "Chen Yueqin's colleague said that she went out after work yesterday to pack some food and returned to Xinghe Building. The colleague who went to work the earliest said that at 8 am When I clicked through the door, I saw Chen Yueqin coming out of the lounge next to the office, apparently sleeping here last night. Their designers sometimes stay in the office overnight to catch up on drafts, and the boss provided them with temporary accommodation."

Jiang Pingce put down his phone and asked, "Did you sleep in Xinghe Building last night?"

Chen Yueqin: "..."

Jiang Pingce leaned into Team Lin's ear: "A witness on the 39th floor saw her come out of the lounge at 8:8 in the morning. Before 39:[-] this morning, the surveillance at the entrance of the building did not capture her entry and exit records. It proves that she slept last night. In the lounge on the [-]th floor."

In other words, Chen Yueqin was at the scene of the crime all night last night.

Team Lin raised his eyebrows: "Miss Chen, you are now suspected of Big E. You had close contact with the deceased last night, and you stayed in Xinghe Building overnight. You have the time and motive for committing the crime, and your skin was found under the deceased's nails." And the bloodstains, the necklace that fell from the rooftop has also been confirmed to be yours, we can apply to arrest you now!"

Chen Yueqin was so scared that her face turned pale, and she shouted in a broken voice: "I didn't kill him! I really didn't! We were indeed in the office last night...but after it was over, I went back to the 39th floor and went to sleep. It was around 11 o'clock in the evening , I fell asleep, I don’t know what happened later, I’m really not a murderer! Please believe me..."

The woman's face was full of tears, her makeup was all over, and she didn't know whether it was because of sadness or fear.

However, no matter how she quibbles, her suspicion is indeed the biggest at present.

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, clenched her fists tightly, and said viciously: "It must have been killed by Liu Lan! Liu Lan knew that her husband was going to divorce her, would not give her the real estate, and would take away the children. She must have killed her!" It's murderous! Zhou Ziyang's parents have passed away long ago, as long as Zhou Ziyang dies, as a spouse, she is the only heir!"

At this moment, a colleague pushed the door open and whispered in Captain Lin's ear, "Liu Lan has come to claim the body."

Jiang Pingce turned and went out, and saw a tall woman standing in the corridor.

She was wearing a linen dress, white high-heeled shoes, her long hair was tied loosely behind her head, and she didn't have any makeup on her face. Very eye-catching, even though she is over 35 years old now, she is well maintained and still looks young and beautiful. She is worthy of being the school belle of Beijiang University of Political Science and Law.

Unlike most of the family members who collapsed when they came to claim the body, her mood was exceptionally calm.

Jiang Pingce took her to the morgue. After seeing Zhou Ziyang's pale face, Liu Lan said indifferently, "That's right, he is Zhou Ziyang. Can I take his body away?"

Jiang Pingce said: "Follow the regulations, and then you can take it away."

Liu Lan nodded: "Thank you."

She didn't even have a single tear.

It was as calm as if it was not her husband who died, but a stranger who had nothing to do with her.
