Forensics

The watermelon was almost finished, and Shen Junci talked about work again. He also looked at the work group in the morning: "Will the family members come to identify the body later?"

"Yes, a bit more. In fact, the identity has almost been confirmed. The main thing is to go through a process." Gu Yanchen paused and said, "Also, observe the reaction of the family members."

Gu Yanchen met many family members who either cried bitterly or endured their grief.

If there are other hidden facts in the case, the police can find clues from the attitude of the family members.There will be a hidden truth in their attitude.That is, no matter how good the acting skills are, they cannot be fooled.

When the time was approaching, Qi Yi'an stayed to continue writing the autopsy report, while Shen Junci and Gu Yanchen went downstairs, waiting for the family members to identify the body.

Shen Junci looked up into the yard, pointed to a figure and asked, "Is that her?"

Gu Yanchen looked at the direction he pointed, and a woman in black came over.

The woman held a black umbrella and walked across the yard.Her hairstyle is combed up, and each hair is meticulous.The black clothes women wear are long black dresses, like those worn by nuns. The skirt wraps around the woman's skin.The strange thing is that she didn't sweat much on a hot day.

As he got closer, Gu Yanchen noticed that there were some wrinkles at the end of the woman's eyes, which showed that they were well maintained.Especially that figure, even a 20-year-old girl rarely has it. He asked, "Are you Tang Lu?"

The woman nodded: "A police officer told me to come to the forensic building to confirm the body..."

Shen Junci led her in, while Gu Yanchen was behind, observing the woman's expression.

Tang Lu straightened her back, put away her black umbrella, and followed them in with no expression on her face.

When they arrived at the morgue on the first basement floor, Shen Jun asked her to register, and Tang Lu carefully wrote down her name and ID number.

Then Shen Junci walked to the refrigerator and opened it.

A gust of cold air suddenly emerged from the cabinet.

The first thing to show was a pair of dry feet.

"Stop." Tang Lu suddenly called out, pressing her lips together.

Her gaze fell on the birthmark on the instep of the corpse.

Shen Junci stopped, the mortuary only exposed the female corpse's thighs.

Tang Lu's body began to tremble, and she covered her mouth and said tremblingly, "It's my daughter."

Shen Junci asked: "Do you need to confirm again?"

"No need, my daughter, I know..." Tang Lu showed great restraint, "There is a birthmark on her foot..."

Shen Junci gently closed the cabinet.

Gu Yanchen stood watching, Tang Lu began to cry, Shen Jun asked her to sit down, and then brought her a tissue.

After a while, Tang Lu raised her head and asked Shen Junci: "She...how did she become like this?"

Shen Junci said truthfully: "I have been dead for more than a year, and the body is well preserved."

Tang Lu cried for a while, stopped crying, and asked, "Can I ask, how did you find her?"

Before Shen Junci could answer, Gu Yanchen said, "The police have received a report." He began to ask Tang Lu, "Can you tell me what happened the day she left home?"

Tang Lu covered her forehead with one hand: "That day...we had a big fight, and she packed a suitcase and went out."

Gu Yanchen asked, "Why are you arguing?"

Tang Lu wiped her tears: "My daughter's rebellious period is a bit late. We have been arguing non-stop since she became an adult. That time, it was mainly because of her boyfriend... After my man died of illness, I took care of her alone. Two daughters, I never thought that my daughter would find such a man..."

"We're also looking for her boyfriend, do you know his name?"

Tang Lu shook her head: "All I know is that the man graduated from high school. He has no house or car, and his job is not stable. He worked in a hair salon for a while, but was fired later. It seems that he went to a car wash. He also got into a fight and was detained. , I don’t know why my daughter would fall in love with such a man who has no skills and no fixed place.”

Gu Yanchen: "We called just now and informed Xu Ziyue."

Tang Lu said: "She still has class in the afternoon, and she is still a little girl. She said she wanted to come together, but I didn't let her follow. It was enough to watch her father die. Now let her see her sister become like this. look..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but everyone could hear the meaning. It was too cruel to watch her sister who grew up with her die and turn into a mummy.

Gu Yanchen continued to ask her: "Who do you think may have killed Xu Yapei?"

Tang Lu twisted the tissue in her hand: "I don't know, maybe I met a bad person... Maybe it's her boyfriend... I've always thought there was something wrong with him, I persuaded them to break up, but Abbott didn't listen to me……"

After she wiped away her tears, Gu Yanchen asked her again: "You said that Xu Yapei ran away from home, that's why you didn't track down your daughter's whereabouts. Is there anything to prove your words?"

Tang Lu was taken aback, then raised her head: "Prove? It's been so long, how can I prove it?"

Gu Yanchen said: "Your daughter has been missing for a year. Even if you knew that she went out with her boyfriend, but you didn't look for her or call the police this year, I still think it's a bit unbelievable."

His tone of these two questions was a bit harsh, and he didn't think too much about Tang Lu's feelings, but in fact, this was also a way of probing.

"I called her, but the phone has been turned off." Tang Lu lowered her head and said, "I thought she changed her phone number, but I always thought that she would give in and come back to beg me after I didn't live long. I Holding my breath, I refused to bow my head first, but I didn't expect that she would just leave like this, and there was no news of her, and she died outside..."

Having said that, the woman took a deep breath, stabilized her emotions and raised her head again, "Is there anything else I need to sign for confirmation?"

Shen Jun said: "In order to review the results, I still need to extract your DNA for comparison."

Now the city bureau is extremely strict. In order to prevent the corpse from being falsely identified or mistakenly identified, it is necessary to have a comparison result before a conclusion can be drawn.

He had already brought the DNA kit and took a sample from Tang Lu's oral mucosa.

Then Shen Junci took out the family consent form, and Tang Lu signed her name at the end.

After all the formalities were completed, Tang Lu asked, "Comrade policeman, what should I do next? How can I get back my daughter's relics and corpse?"

Gu Yanchen said: "After our investigation is over, we will notify you to claim it."

Tang Lu said: "I hope you can find the murderer who killed my daughter as soon as possible."

When Tang Lu left the morgue, she disappeared again under an umbrella.

Gu Yanchen turned around and asked Shen Junci: "Did you find any problems?"

Shen Junci took two pieces of paper signed by Tang Lu for comparison. One of the two signatures was before the body was identified, and the other was after the body was claimed.

The two handwritings are almost the same, correct and elegant.

Shen Junci whispered: "The mood is too stable."

As a single mother, seeing her dependent relatives turned into mummy, this reaction is too rational.

Although she was crying and trembling, she quickly recovered her emotions.

Even though she was crying bitterly with a tissue, her back was straight and she was always paying attention to her posture.

Gu Yanchen said: "She asked how she was found, but didn't ask where Xu Yapei was found, and she didn't ask the detailed cause of death."

Ordinary people would express doubts about where and how their loved ones died, but the woman's reaction was a bit abnormal.

"Maybe it's just a natural coolness." Shen Jun resigned.

He has come into contact with some relatives, and they are particularly rational about the death of their relatives, but this is not because they have a bad relationship with their relatives. When a person is hit hard, sometimes rationality turns into a hard shell and wraps himself.

Many people are blinded by the death of their relatives, and some people are unwilling to show weakness in front of the police.But in the dead of night, when they think of their deceased relatives, they will still express their true feelings.

Having said that, Shen Junci bowed his head and said to himself: "But if she is a murderer, a rational and dignified mother, why did she kill her own daughter? It's just because her daughter is rebellious and has dated someone she doesn't like. Boyfriend?"

This is obviously somewhat illogical.

Gu Yanchen said: "I want to check Tang Lu's home, and also want to meet Xu Yapei's sister."

Shen Junci: "Will Deputy Director Dong agree?" Then he said worriedly: "There is not enough evidence yet..."

Searching and summoning means that the other party is being treated as a suspect. Every step needs to be instructed by the leader, and according to the process, he must go to the procuratorate.

Moreover, even if the procuratorate approves, she will be detained now, and she can only be held for 12 hours. If no further evidence is found, she must be released, which is not good for the investigation.

Gu Yanchen said: "You have to try."

After dealing with Tang Lu's matter, he returned to the Special Criminal Division.

Gu Yanchen took the known case files, typed an application, and went to Deputy Bureau Dong.

As expected, Deputy Director Dong did not approve: "Little Gu, I am afraid that other people's cases will be solved too slowly, but you, I am afraid that your case will be solved too quickly. Now the test results have not come out, there are no witnesses, and a lot of information is missing. Not comprehensive, you directly met with the victim’s family and said that you want to summon the family as a suspect, which is not in compliance with the rules. I can’t explain it to the procuratorate.”

The police must pay attention to direct evidence and indirect evidence in the arrest and subpoena, otherwise it will be passed by an individual, and the police department will not let it go.

Deputy Director Dong looked through the files at this point: "Isn't there still a lot of insiders who don't know about this case? That boyfriend may be the last person to see Xu Yapei. You can look it up from there, and I'll give it to you." Batch procedures."

After learning about the case, Deputy Director Dong always felt that the boyfriend was more suspicious, and he added, "What do you mean by that sentence, 'It' always the husband'."

Gu Yanchen said: "I don't think that man is the murderer. Besides, Tang Lu deliberately brought the case to him."

Deputy Bureau Dong said: "We can't rely on our sixth sense to decide a case. You have to find this person and find out what happened."

Gu Yanchen asked: "Then Tang Lu won't investigate?"

"Investigate." Deputy Director Dong said, "I want you to investigate slowly and steadily. You have found real evidence there, and I will approve the process for you at any time."

Deputy Director Dong's meaning is very clear. They are policemen, not detectives. Maybe this is not the correct way of thinking, but it is a conventional way of thinking.With this way, others can't find any faults, and they will bite Tang Lu as soon as they come up. If she is not the murderer and public opinion arises, the police will be very passive.

Gu Yanchen compromised: "Okay, I'll check that boyfriend first to find evidence, but if the investigation returns to Tang Lu in the end, I will trouble you to approve the process earlier."

Deputy Director Dong looked at Gu Yanchen, he felt that Gu Yanchen was definitely not an impulsive person, and never did anything he was not sure about.

Deputy Bureau Dong felt as if there was a trick in front of him, waiting for him to exploit.But at this point, Board Director could only bite the bullet and nodded: "We will discuss the matter in the future, and I will never stop you if there is evidence."

After negotiating, Gu Yanchen returned to the office of the Special Criminal Division.

Gu Yanchen also knew that it was against the rules to summon Tang Lu now, and he did have ulterior motives in doing so.

Now, once the application is submitted, it is a disclaimer.

In case the murderer is finally found out to be Tang Lu, the reason for not arresting her in time is that the leader made a mistake in judgment and has nothing to do with the Special Criminal Division.

After confirming Xu Yapei's identity, it is not difficult to find her former boyfriend.

The criminal police team retrieved various social software of Xu Yapei's life, compared them, and quickly found several accounts suspected of being her boyfriend, and then found a person named Gao Xuan.

Bai Meng started to call Gao Xuan, the first number he dialed: "Hi, hello, is this Gao Xuan?"

The tone she used to talk to her colleagues was a bit rough, and the phone on the other side hung up with a snap.

Bai Meng looked at the hung up phone in a daze for a few seconds, and after a minute she picked up the phone next to her and dialed again, this time with a gentle female voice: "Hi, hello, is this Gao Xuan?"

The other party immediately became more polite: "I am, what can you do with me?"

Bai Meng continued to ask: "This is the Penang City Bureau, do you know a lady named Xu Yapei?"

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a few seconds: "What's wrong?"

Bai Meng said: "The police recently found her..."

Before she finished speaking, Gao Xuan interrupted: "I don't know about her."

With a snap, the phone hung up again.

The beauty trap didn't work either, Bai Meng held the phone receiver and couldn't help but curse: "Fuck"

She turned her head and asked Gu Yanchen: "Captain Gu, didn't Deputy Bureau Dong fill out the form? Can you directly arrest him?"

Gu Yanchen shook his head: "Lu Ying, come with me."

Bai Meng quickly found Gao Xuan's work unit, which was a medium-sized car repair shop in the south of the city, where Gao Xuan worked as a car washer.

To be on the safe side, she also found Gao Xuan's phone location to confirm that he was there.

Gu Yanchen drove Lu Ying all the way there, and at five o'clock in the afternoon, he finally found the car repair shop where Gao Xuan was.

When he came outside the garage, Lu Ying rolled down the glass window. Gu Yanchen smelled a smell of engine oil. Several workers were washing the car nearby, and fine droplets of water drifted over with the wind.

They drove straight past, and someone approached enthusiastically and asked, "Will the car be washed or repaired? There may be a queue for car washing."

Gu Yanchen spotted the tall man in the car repair suit in the crowd at a glance.

Lu Ying poked her head out and called out, "Gao Xuan!"

Gao Xuan was not stupid, he immediately got in touch with the phone call just now, threw the water pipe and ran out.

Gu Yanchen didn't show mercy, he opened the car door and chased after him. Gao Xuan didn't run a few meters before he was knocked down by an elbow and pressed against the wall with his backhand.

That movement was clean and swift, and Gao Xuan, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, had no strength to fight back.

The workers on the side didn't expect this to happen, and they all looked dumbfounded, wondering which elder brother Gao Xuan had offended.

Gao Xuan began to beg for mercy: "Take it easy, officer... I really didn't do anything bad."

Lu Ying on the side said: "Why did you run away when you didn't do anything bad?"

Gao Xuan: "I just subconsciously..."

Gu Yanchen pulled him up: "We are from the Penang City Bureau. I will ask you to understand the situation, ask some questions and leave."

He was more and more sure now that Gao Xuan was not the person they were looking for.If Gao Xuan really killed Xu Yapei, he would have run away long ago after receiving the call from the police, and he wouldn't be here waiting for the police to come to his door.

After Gao Xuan was optimistic, Lu Yingcai turned around and locked the car.

He waved his police badge at the employees of the garage: "The police handle the case and perform official duties. Let's ask Gao Xuan about the situation."

A person who seemed to be the leader hurriedly waved his hand: "Ask, you can ask whatever you want."

Those shop assistants didn't dare to get closer, they all stood far away, watching while working, talking secretly in a low voice.

There are some tables and chairs near the car repair shop, which are used by the guests waiting for the car wash.

Gu Yanchen walked aside and pulled out the chair, motioning Gao Xuan to sit down, Lu Ying took out a voice recorder to record.

With the two police officers right in front of him, Gao Xuan no longer had the arrogance to hang up the police phone before.

He sat on the chair, rubbed his pants with his hands, and said: "I'm not with Xu Yapei, we broke up long ago. I really don't know about her. Besides, it's very sad, I don't want to mention it again. "

Lu Yingdao: "We came here to find out about Xu Yapei's death case."

After hearing this, Gao Xuan suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Dead? You said Xu Yapei is dead?!"

Gu Yanchen looked at his shocked expression.

Gao Xuan reacted for a moment and then asked, "When did it happen?"

Compared with Tang Lu before, the man in front of him was more surprised and his reaction was more reasonable. Gu Yanchen didn't hide the information about the case: "Yesterday we received a report and found her body in the north of the city."

"How did she die?"

"The police initially suspected that this was a murder."

"I always thought she was angry and blocked me..." Gao Xuan said as he took out his phone and opened the chat record with Xu Yapei. There was a series of humble greetings on it, but he didn't get a single reply.

"I also called her a lot, but the mobile phone was turned off." Speaking of this, Gao Xuan's eyes turned red.

Gu Yanchen glanced at the phone and said to him: "She may have passed away last summer. We asked Xu Yapei's mother, and she said that when she saw Xu Yapei for the last time, Xu Yapei was going to elope with you. She and Xu Yapei There was a quarrel. And you may be the last person to see Xu Yapei. "

Gao Xuan's expression twisted: "Don't listen to that woman's nonsense. Xu Yapei didn't want to elope with me at all. I didn't see her around last summer vacation. Her mother probably said that to frame me, or to cover up What truth."

He paused and said, "Everyone in their family is sick."
