Forensics

On-site investigation work is proceeding in an orderly manner.

As time goes by, the sky gradually reveals a white belly.

The on-site inspection here was completed, and apart from the mysterious footprint, no other obvious clues were found.

Shen Junci and Qi Yi'an worked together to collect the corpse.Because they had been burnt and the corpses were hard, the two of them put a lot of effort into putting the three corpses into body bags.

The corpses were loaded onto the body truck, filling the back of it to the brim.

Lu Ying took the auxiliary police and asked the neighbors nearby.

"How about their family?"

"This family is pretty good. We have lived here for so many years, and we have never blushed." The neighbor thought for a while and said, "However, it seems that they were afraid of someone."

"Who are you afraid of?" Lu Ying hurriedly asked, "Can you tell me more about it?"

"We also don't know very well, just before the college entrance examination, Qiao Siwei's father will send her to and from school."

Lu Ying recorded this clue, and then asked: "Who often come to their house?"

"It seems that there are not many people who come here at ordinary times. Occasionally, a girl's classmate will come over and do homework together."

After asking the neighbors, Baimeng quickly found the mobile phone numbers of a family of three. All three mobile phones had been burned in the fire, and there was almost no possibility of recovery.However, a record of the call was preserved.

She looked at the call record and said: "Two calls came into Qiao Siwei's cell phone this morning. I went to check. The head of the household is Qiu Xiaoxue, this year."

Lu Yingdao: "At this age, it looks like Qiao Siwei's classmate."

As soon as I said this, I saw a young girl running from a section of the alley. The girl had long hair in a ponytail and ran all the way downstairs. When she looked up at the burned house, tears came to her eyes. Light.

She ran outside the cordon and was stopped by Bai Meng.

"How could this be...how could this be..." the girl tremblingly covered her mouth, and then burst into tears.She pulled Bai Meng and asked, "I rushed over when I heard the news. Has Qiao Siwei been rescued? She...their family members..."

Bai Meng said: "The three members of their family died in the fire last night."

Lu Ying asked her: "What's your name? Are you Qiao Siwei's classmate?"

The girl's tears kept flowing, and she cried for a while before she wiped her tears and stabilized her voice: "My name is Qiu Xiaoxue, and I'm a classmate in her class. I called her in the morning and no one answered."

Bai Meng comforted her a few words, and asked her: "We are investigating the cause of this fire, you are her classmate, do you know some relevant information?"

Qiu Xiaoxue hesitated for a while, then nodded: "I...I know something."

Bai Meng checked that there were still seats in the car, discussed with Gu Yanchen, and said to the girl: "Then can you go with me to the Municipal Bureau, we may ask you for some information."

The police car carried Qiu Xiaoxue and a group of people back to the city bureau.

Shen Junci and Qi Yi'an went to dissect the corpse, while Gu Yanchen took Bai Meng to question Qiu Xiaoxue.

Bai Meng took out the record book and registered Qiu Xiaoxue's personal information of age and place of origin.

She asked her: "Her neighbors said that Qiao Siwei seems to be afraid of someone? Do you know anything about it?"

Qiu Xiaoxue said: "I only know that her father picked her up for a period of time, about a month or so, saying that he was afraid that it would be unsafe for her to go to and from school. I asked her several times for the specific reason, but she didn't know. tell me."

Bai Meng asked about the specific time when Qiao Siwei was picked up, and then asked Qiu Xiaoxue, "Does she have a boyfriend?"

Qiu Xiaoxue shook her head: "I'm her good friend. She tells me everything. She has never had a boyfriend. She said that since she has made friends now, it's easy to break up. It's better to find them in college."

Bai Meng asked again: "Then have any men come to pester her?"

Qiu Xiaoxue shook her head again: "She doesn't usually dress up, and her clothes are also very simple, and she hardly talks to strangers."

Gu Yanchen asked, "When was the last time you saw Qiao Siwei?"

Qiu Xiaoxue bowed her head: "It was just yesterday afternoon. We exchanged gifts. She is going to go to college in other places. We will not be in the same city in the future. There will be fewer opportunities to meet each other."

Bai Meng asked her, "How did you and Qiao Siwei become friends?"

Qiu Xiaoxue said in detail: "The two of us are classmates in the class, and we live close to each other. Once we did a group homework and required two groups. I asked the teacher if he could add someone to their group, the teacher agreed, and we have been friends since then."

"What kind of person is Qiao Siwei?"

Qiu Xiaoxue said: "She...is lively and cheerful, and she is very popular. Although she is a repeat student, she has a good relationship with her classmates and treats me very well."

Later, Gu Yanchen asked her some things about Qiao Si's family, including who often came to the house and the basic work and rest time.

Qiu Xiaoxue answered everything she knew, and her expression couldn't hide her sadness: "Uncles and aunts are very nice people, and they made dumplings for me when I went to their house in the past."

Gu Yanchen asked: "Where did you know about the fire?"

"I live not far from here. Last night, I heard the sound of fire trucks at home. I didn't sleep well all night. I got up early and went downstairs. I heard the aunt who cleaned downstairs said that this area was on fire. I I was very scared in my heart, afraid that it was Qiao Siwei's home... I ran over in a hurry." She said here and covered her face, "Why did such a thing happen..."

At the end of the inquiry, Bai Meng asked her to sign, and left her contact information, if necessary, contact her again.

Gu Yanchen looked at Qiao Siwei's photo, lively and cheerful, with simple social relations. How could such a girl who is still in school lead to a fatal disaster?

After seeing off Qiu Xiaoxue, Gu Yanchen asked Bai Meng to retrieve the nearby surveillance video from last night.

The physical evidence side also brought over the rubbings of the footprints left on the windowsill.The size of the footprint is a size 42 shoe, and the pattern and shoe size are different from Joe's father's.

At this time, Baimeng's surveillance found some clues, and she called Gu Yanchen to the computer: "Before three o'clock in the morning yesterday, a nearby surveillance captured a man's figure."

Gu Yanchen and Lu Ying gathered together and looked at the computer screen. It was a not-short man wearing a hat and mask, walking very fast, with his head lowered, and flashed past the camera.

Not long afterward, in the footage captured by another camera, it was seen from a distance that Qiao's house was gradually burning.

Appeared near the crime scene at three o'clock in the morning, acted suspiciously, and fled in a hurry. This person was very suspicious.

Lu Ying became excited: "This should be the arsonist!"

Gu Yanchen asked Bai Meng to copy the image of this man, preparing for further investigation.

On the other hand, after the tragedy at Qiao's family, an aunt of Qiao Siwei came to the Municipal Bureau and provided them with important clues.

The aunt immediately told the truth after hearing what they had said: "My brother was hiding from his brother-in-law before!"

"My brother and I have complained several times! His little brother-in-law, that is, my niece's uncle, likes to gamble money in the countryside. He gambled and lost his house, and then he began to borrow money from relatives. Her sister borrowed money from him Twice, a total of 10,000+, not only did not pay back the money, but also wanted to borrow more from her family..."

Bai Meng listened while recording, who doesn't have a few top relatives these days?It feels like a hungry ghost asking for debt. Once the money is borrowed, it will never return.

"... That brother-in-law came to her house twice to make trouble. His family couldn't bear it and called the police. Later, his brother-in-law said that his sister was living a good life by herself. If she doesn't help him or give him a way to survive, he can't live. Don't make it easier for them."

"Before my niece took the college entrance examination this year, his brother-in-law came to Penang and blocked my niece on the way home from school, almost pulling her away. He said that if he didn't give the money, he would sell Qiao Siwei for money. Pity my niece She was so scared that she didn't go to school for two days, and then I asked my brother to pick her up."

Bai Meng felt very sympathetic to such a thing. A girl who was suddenly hijacked by her uncle on the way home from school must be terrified.

"At that time, my niece was very afraid of her uncle. She was afraid that this uncle would come back and cause trouble for their house... So when there was a fire in their house, I remembered this incident. Could it be my brother's brother-in-law who did something? "

Speaking of this, the woman covered her face: "Pity my brother, my good niece, the whole family is gone..."

Bai Meng sent the surveillance video of last night to the aunt to identify it. The woman recognized it for a while, then frowned and said, "I only saw him once at my brother's wedding, and I haven't seen him for several years. This video is too sweet." It's too dark to see."

Gu Yanchen said: "We will investigate clearly."

After seeing off the aunt, Bai Meng retrieved the information of Uncle Qiao Siwei.

His name is Wei Yingtian, and he is really in debt when looking at his assets. The house under his name was sold last year, and he has borrowed a lot of money. All his relatives shun him.

Moreover, this uncle has a bad temper. One year during Chinese New Year, because another relative refused his request, he almost used a kitchen knife.

They also found the alarm records of Qiao's family in the system.

Only two months ago, this uncle had disappeared due to too many debts in order to avoid debts, and the bank card under his name had also been suspended. The last time he was found was in Ruicheng next door.

Since Wei Yingtian is a habitual offender with previous convictions, the arrest process went extremely quickly.

Gu Yanchen issued an arrest warrant for Wei Yingtian in the police system, hoping that the police from various sub-bureaus would help find Wei Yingtian's trace.

Then Gu Yanchen began to ask his police officers to restore the family's mobile phone and various online accounts, and the first thing they retrieved was some software information of Qiao Siwei.

Gu Yanchen used the registered mobile phone to log into the girl's account, and some messages popped up one after another.

QQ is relatively normal, and some class groups have been added. Qiao Siwei doesn't talk much, and there are no special records.

There are even fewer people on WeChat. In recent calls, Gu Yanchen saw that the account with the most interactions was a cartoon avatar account.He clicked on it and compared the verified mobile phone numbers, which belonged to Qiu Xiaoxue.

Looking through the chat records, Gu Yanchen's expression became more and more serious.

It was a somewhat weird chat record, not like a chat between girlfriends, but more like Qiu Xiaoxue's one-sided confession.

"I passed by the September Forest Bakery today and saw your favorite taro-flavored cake, so I bought one for you."

"Look at this cat. I saw it at the school gate. It's very cute."

"Today's math homework is too difficult. Who can solve it. Are you free on weekends? I'll go to your home to do homework."

"I bought you milk tea and put it on the corner of your table."

What did I eat today, where did I go, how long did it take me to do my homework, everything is in detail.

Sometimes, she would act like a baby or beg: "What are you doing, don't ignore me."

And Qiao Siwei's reply was a bit perfunctory, "Okay, I see." "Oh." "I went to take a shower just now, and I didn't see the phone." "Got it." "Thank you."

If they are best friends, close girlfriends, such a connection seems a bit alienated.

But if it is said that their relationship is indifferent, it is not necessarily the case. They chat like this every day, and it seems that they are classmates in the repeat class, and they may have more contact at school.

The chat history storage in the cloud is limited and can only be restored to six months ago.

Gu Yanchen dragged it to the end again, and the chat record was until yesterday afternoon.

Qiu Xiaoxue said: "We are going to college, and this may be the last time we meet. I bought you a present."

Qiao Siwei replied: "Okay, come here later."

Gu Yanchen slid his fingertips, pushed the mouse, and looked at this chat record repeatedly.The time of the last conversation was the same as what Qiu Xiaoxue said before, meeting Qiao Siwei and exchanging gifts.

In the records, he felt Qiu Xiaoxue's dependence on Qiao Siwei.

He also thought of Qiu Xiaoxue's various descriptions of Qiao Siwei. Perhaps Qiu Xiaoxue regarded Qiao Siwei's best friend as a kind of spiritual sustenance.

Everything makes sense, but Gu Yanchen always feels that there is an indescribable weirdness in it.

It seems that I have missed some details.

As soon as I saw this, Bai Meng came over and said, "Team Lu, Qiao Siwei's previous teachers and classmates in the class have all called to find out. I made an appointment to meet with the school committee of their class and talk about the details."

Gu Yanchen got up and said to Lu Ying: "Lu Ying, continue to look for Qiao Siwei's uncle over there, and transfer a few people from the first team to go to Qiao Siwei's parents' unit to ask about the situation. I will take Bai Meng to her classmate Gather information."

He walked to the door of the office, stopped and turned back, "You can check Qiu Xiaoxue's information again."

Lu Ying asked: "Does she have a problem?"

Gu Yanchen said: "It's nothing, I just intuit the relationship between them, it's not as simple as Qiu Xiaoxue said."
