Forensics

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Qiu Xiaoxue was brought to the Penang City Bureau again. This time was completely different from the last time.

In the morning, she came here to provide information as an insider, but now, she is locked in the interrogation room as a suspect.

The criminal police went to Qiu Xiaoxue to enter personal information again, and Gu Yanchen led the others to the observation room first.

Shen Junci finished his forensic work and came to sit in the observation room to listen.

Gu Yanchen said: "Let her be alone for a while."

It's an interrogation tactic that leaves suspects alone in windowless interrogation rooms where they can be observed.Confined spaces make them nervous, which makes it easier to ask the truth.

Waiting for the criminal police inside to exit, under the top light, Qiu Xiaoxue lowered her head.The girl had a pretty face, with a gentle and calm expression, except that there were some sickly bright reds on both cheeks.

She didn't seem to be nervous about the interrogation that followed, instead she kept her mouth moving and murmured to herself.

Gu Yanchen discovered this, and he said to Bai Meng: "Amplify your voice, and listen to what she is reading?"

Bai Meng put on the earphones: "It seems to be singing."

While she was talking, she adjusted the voice control device and made an external speaker, and the voice in the interrogation room was transmitted through the loudspeaker device.

Lu Ying hissed: "This woman is so perverted. She is indeed singing, but she is not nervous in the interrogation room. This is the first time I have seen someone who is still singing."

The voice was low, like a whisper, with a certain tone, but because she hummed very softly, it was difficult to tell what song it was.

Bai Meng tilted her head and listened carefully, "What song is this? It sounds familiar."

Shen Junci heard it, he rested his chin on the side, and said in a calm voice: "Looking for friends."

When he said this, other people realized that it was a nursery rhyme that everyone was familiar with.

The interrogation room was very quiet. Qiu Xiaoxue lowered her head and was humming, the simple melody was a little out of tune.

"Look, look, look for friends, find a good friend, salute, shake hands, you are my good friend. Goodbye..."

Just this sentence she repeated, her whole body seemed to be immersed in it.

This scene looks a little weird.

Gu Yanchen asked Bai Meng: "Has Qiu Xiaoxue's information been retrieved?"

Bai Meng handed over a printed document: "It was transferred. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she was sentenced to her mother. Later, her mother formed a new family and let her live in a house close to the school. The students commented on her as being a loner, not getting close to others, and her academic performance was average."

Gu Yanchen said to Lu Ying: "You will preside over the trial first."

Lu Ying was a little embarrassed: "Gu Dui, you know that my criminal trial is not a strong point, and it's okay to cooperate. If you let me preside over the trial, I guess it's a bit difficult to ask."

Gu Yanchen said: "If you are not good at it, you need to practice more, and it doesn't matter if you can't ask."

He just hoped to learn more information through the dialogue between Lu Ying and Qiu Xiaoxue.

After making simple arrangements, Gu Yanchen took the materials and led Lu Ying into the interrogation room.

The two of them sat opposite Qiu Xiaoxue.

Only then did Qiu Xiaoxue's singing stop, the girl raised her head to look at them, and the interrogation room fell silent for a while.

Lu Ying asked: "Do you know why we called you here again?"

Qiu Xiaoxue shook her head, with an innocent face: "I don't know, I told you everything I know."

Lu Yingdao: "The police now suspect that you are the suspect who killed Qiao Siwei's family of three."

Qiu Xiaoxue frowned. She had cried in the morning, but her eyes were still swollen: "I didn't kill Qiao Siwei."

"What did you do yesterday afternoon?"

"I went to Joshua's house and gave her a present. Then I went home."

"What did you have for dinner?"

"At 05:30, I was hungry and ordered a pickled fish." Qiu Xiaoxue looked up at them and said, "What's wrong? I can't eat pickled fish?"

Lu Ying was at a loss for words because of her rhetorical question, so he asked, "What about after dinner?"

Qiu Xiaoxue said: "Just like usual, I went out for a walk, went home to sleep, and was woken up by the sound of the fire truck at three o'clock in the morning."

Lu Ying began to cite evidence: "We found a drug for insomnia during the autopsy of the corpse. This drug is a prescription drug, and you have been prescribed it in the hospital. At 06:30 last night, you were at the door of Qiao Siwei's house. Instead of the pickled fish takeaway they ordered."

Qiu Xiaoxue leaned forward and said, "How do I know they will eat pickled fish tonight?"

"You are familiar with Qiao Sijia's life rules..."

"I don't know how many people have that kind of medicine. What about the evidence? I just ordered a takeaway of pickled fish. Is it a crime? Why do you suspect me?"

Lu Yingdao: "When you rushed over this morning, you showed your flaws. Many suspects will return to the scene of the crime."

Qiu Xiaoxue said: "I just couldn't get in touch with Qiao Siwei, and I heard that there was a fire nearby, so I went there."

Lu Ying continued to bite the bullet and asked: "Then last night, did you enter Qiao Siwei's house?"

Qiu Xiaoxue shook her head: "I don't have the key to their house, how can I get into their house?"

"Maybe it's because you are usually with Qiao Siwei and secretly assigned an extra key."

Qiu Xiaoxue plausibly said: "Her house just changed the fingerprint lock, where can I get the key? Wait, are you going to say that I can print fingerprints again?"

Lu Ying really didn't know that there was a fingerprint lock on the door. In the fire in the morning, not to mention the fingerprint lock, more than half of the door was burned. When they went, the door was open, so he didn't pay attention these details.

Lu Ying fooled Wei Yingtian's entry method again: "Then you may have entered through the wall. There is a small window on the second floor of Qiao Siwei's house that is open."

Qiu Xiaoxue denied again: "How can a girl like me climb to the second floor and open the window?"

It was the first time that Lu Ying met such an unflappable and aggressive criminal. He was fooled by what Wei Yingtian said before, so he tricked Qiu Xiaoxue.

Lu Yingdao: "No matter how you got in, last night, we had evidence to prove that you were in Qiao Siwei's room, and shortly thereafter, the house caught fire, so Qiao Siwei was killed by you!"

At the mention of Qiao Siwei, Qiu Xiaoxue's expression finally changed a little, it was sad, mixed with grievance: "Who is the witness you mentioned? Do you dare to come and confront me? Besides, why did I kill me?" best friend?"

Facing such a suspect, Lu Ying's interrogation reached a stalemate, and the police still lacked conclusive evidence.

Gu Yanchen watched silently from the side, Lu Ying really didn't have enough paragraphs, and the rhythm of this interrogation was actually being led away by Qiu Xiaoxue.

But that's good too, the more Qiu Xiaoxue talks, the more she exposes. He has been paying attention to every movement of Qiu Xiaoxue, even some micro-expressions.

When referring to Qiao Siwei's death, she repeatedly denied it, saying that she did not do it.

And her expression is sad, which is not fake.

Facing the police's questioning, she didn't show any flaws, as if she was practicing Tai Chi, and solved Lu Ying's problems one by one with four or two strokes.

Gu Yanchen's intuition told him that this case must be related to Qiu Xiaoxue, and she was not innocent.

Qiu Xiaoxue has a perverted possessive desire for Qiao Siwei's friendship.

She may behave in ways that are incomprehensible to ordinary people.

However, the police must find evidence to handle the case, or ask for a confession.They couldn't just rely on pickled fish to deduce her as a prisoner.

And, what the hell happened this morning?

Did Qiu Xiaoxue lie?

Which of the things Wei Yingtian said are true and which are false?

They know some information, and some information is missing.

Those missing information may be the key to solving the puzzle.

Gu Yanchen could feel that Qiu Xiaoxue was different from the other suspects, she was more calm and confident.She does not rule out communicating with the police.

This kind of talkative and highly cooperative suspect is not very resistant to the confession.

She hasn't made a confession so far, maybe it's just because Lu Ying's question hasn't hit her heart yet.

In other words, Lu Ying's current analysis is completely wrong.

On the contrary, as long as Qiu Xiaoxue's motive and criminal psychology are analyzed, she may confess.

So, where is the key point?

Qiu Xiaoxue is not a complete lunatic, she must have her own behavioral logic and purpose in her actions...

Gu Yanchen was stupid, he had to bring himself into Qiu Xiaoxue and analyze the case from her perspective.

At this time, Shen Junci was sitting in the observation room, and he was also watching the progress of the interrogation.

Shen Junci watched Gu Yanchen remain silent, knowing that he was secretly observing, thinking about countermeasures, and deducing the truth.

Forensic doctor Shen looked carefully and suddenly found some problems.

He turned his head and asked Bai Meng: "Is there any paper?"

"Yes." Bai Meng was taken aback for a moment, then handed him the paper and pen.

Shen Junci wrote a note, folded it a few times, and handed it to Bai Meng: "Please send this in for Gu Yanchen to see."

Bai Meng didn't know what Shen Junci wrote, but she took it anyway. She walked to the interrogation room, knocked on the door and walked in, then handed the note to Gu Yanchen.

Gu Yanchen opened the note and recognized Shen Junci's handwriting, with a word written in a slightly scribbled manner.

Just this one word is like a key inserted into a lock.

Gu Yanchen immediately understood everything, and knew where the problem was!

The last link of reasoning was finally buckled.

It turns out that the truth is so...

He refolded the paper, set it aside, and stood up.

Gu Yanchen crossed his arms, not as if he was interrogating, but as if he was chatting with a friend: "Qiu Xiaoxue, I know that you and Qiao Siwei are best friends, you were born in a divorced family, and you have never been loved by your parents since you were a child." You cherish the friendship between you very much, and you also envy Qiao Siwei's happy and happy family."

Qiu Xiaoxue didn't argue, and just listened to him quietly.

"You have maintained this friendship until the end of the college entrance examination. Qiao Siwei applied to a school in another city. She will go to college soon. You are extremely sad when you hear the news. You feel that you will be abandoned by her , and as soon as she is so stupid that she may make more good friends, gradually, you will become estranged, and you will not be able to accept all of this."

Qiu Xiaoxue frowned and listened, she fell silent, fingers of both hands mingled together.

"Since the incident happened this morning, the police have gone all out to solve the case. We made inferences based on some circumstances, but there were mistakes in these inferences, which led to a deviation in the direction of the police investigation. We I originally thought that because of Qiao Siwei's departure, you killed her in a moment of anger..."

Hearing this, Qiu Xiaoxue opened her mouth and retorted stupidly.

Gu Yanchen interrupted her, and continued: "But I understand now that you will not kill Qiao Siwei, because she is your best friend. Even if you hurt yourself, you will not hurt her yourself."

Qiu Xiaoxue lowered her head and said nothing.

Gu Yanchen walked around the trial table: "At first, I didn't quite understand why Wei Yingtian would lie. He could actually point out that you were in that room at the time, so that he could get away with it... But in his testimony, I just vaguely said that I saw a ghost. Then I realized that he was covering you up."

The police overlooked a detail... Even the class committee members who don't care much about gossip know that Qiao Siwei has an uncle who owes gambling debts and comes to pester her. As Qiao Siwei's best friend, how could Qiu Xiaoxue not know this?Even when Wei Yingtian tried to kidnap Qiao Siwei, she might have seen him.

Qiu Xiaoxue looked at him with a pair of eyes.

Gu Yanchen knew that his reasoning was correct again, and he continued to reason: "Wei Yingtian owed a huge amount of gambling debts, he was penniless, his mobile phone was shut down, his bank card was frozen, and when he was hiding in the countryside, people would come to collect his debts. How do you live? The answer is simple, that is, you, who live alone, took him in."

"And you also have your motives and considerations for doing this. You think that you are helping Qiao Siwei by doing this. You even took out your money to help Wei Yingtian pay back the money. The purpose is to keep him from harassing your best friend. .You do all this silently, without even asking Qiao Siwei to know or repay you."

Qiu Xiaoxue nodded: "I hope Qiao Siwei can pass the college entrance examination."

"But later, after the college entrance examination, you discovered Qiao Siwei's indifference to you. Friendship is easy to lose. You found that you couldn't keep Qiao Siwei as a friend. You, who longed for warmth, did something that ordinary people can't understand. .You had a relationship with Wei Yingtian who is ten years older than you."

Tears flickered in Qiu Xiaoxue's eyes: "Why do you think I did this?"

Gu Yanchen said: "On the surface, you are helpless and hope that someone will keep you warm. But in fact, you are still thinking for Qiao. I even think that you may have developed a foolish way of marrying that man."

Qiu Xiaoxue's voice was finally not so calm: "Yes, I don't love that man, I do it for Qiao Siwei."

Gu Yanchen said the truth in a deep voice: "The reason why you did this is because once you become Qiao Siwei's relatives, she will never be able to avoid you in her whole life."

Hearing these words, Qiu Xiaoxue's tears flowed down her cheeks and slid down.

"I don't know why you entered that house, but you and Wei Yingtian should have conspired in this matter. You ordered pickled fish and put sleeping pills in it. Wei Yingtian opened the window and opened the door for you. Early this morning, Both of you are in that room."

The police did not reveal the truth at first, because both of them concealed something, and they obtained two disconnected wires. It was not until Shen Junci gave him the hint that the disconnected wires were connected.

This is a conspiracy case.

Speaking of this, Gu Yanchen pressed his hands on the interrogation table: "So what happened at that time?"

At this point in the conversation, Qiu Xiaoxue didn't choose to lie and deny it, she directly admitted: "Yes, I have known Wei Yingtian for a long time, and I also bought the takeaway that Qiao Siwei bought, and put sleeping pills in it. Then I went home, At two o'clock in the morning, Wei Yingtian and I came to their house together."

Qiu Xiaoxue narrated, as if what she had done was not something harmful to nature.

"The reason why I did this is very simple. I just want to make it clear to Qiao Siwei. I wanted to tell her when I gave the gift in the afternoon and give her a surprise. But at that time she just took the gift indifferently." , and then tell me not to come here again next time."

"Earlier today, Wei Yingtian also called his sister. Her sister immediately hung up and turned him away. He was about to go in and steal money a long time ago. I was the one who stopped him. Last night he When I raised it again, I didn't stop it, I only have one request, that is, I hope he will take me..."

Having said that, Qiu Xiaoxue choked up a bit: "We tried our best to enter that house. But no one welcomed us."

"In the early morning, we used some tricks and finally got what we wanted. I entered Qiao Siwei's room. At the beginning, I didn't do anything. I stood by the bed and just looked at her..."

Qiu Xiaoxue's eyes were fixed, as if Qiao Siwei was lying in front of her. There was a trace of sickness in the girl's eyes, and a smile appeared on her face.

In the middle of the night, suddenly appearing at a friend's house, standing in the room, staring at others sleeping, such behavior is really abnormal.

Hearing this, Bai Meng, who was in charge of recording in the observation room, had goose bumps all over her body.

Shen Junci continued to look at Qiu Xiaoxue in the interrogation room expressionlessly.

"Later I woke her up and told her that I was with his uncle. But instead of blessing me, she called me a lunatic and a pervert, saying that I was her nightmare and would haunt her forever. She spoke excitedly, opened the drawer, took out a screwdriver, and stabbed it towards my stomach. At that time, Wei Yingtian snatched the screwdriver to save me. During the struggle, he stabbed into Qiao Siwei's body with his backhand. At first I was Yu came to save her, but she was hurt too badly. Qiao Siwei just looked at me like that...and died in my arms."

While talking, Qiu Xiaoxue's tears flowed down again.

Then she cried and laughed: "Later, I realized that since the friendship I was expecting could not last long, it might be a good thing that she died. Her life was frozen at that moment forever, and we made a lifetime relationship." Friend. Then I went to light a piece of paper, ignited the curtains, the fire started, and I left. Wei Yingtian still walked through the window on the second floor in order to hide my entry into the house."

Hearing this, Lu Ying still found the truth unacceptable. He couldn't help but ask, "Even if you killed Qiao Siwei by mistake, why did you kill her parents?"

Qiu Xiaoxue said: "There is only one daughter in their family. If her parents wake up and find that their daughter is dead, how sad it will be. Why don't you send them together, and there will be a companion there. Besides, Wei Yingtian is also afraid of things. Exposure. I lit that fire."

After hearing these cruel words, Lu Ying tightly clenched the pen in her hand, not knowing how to refute for a while.He was silent for a moment and then asked, "Why are you doing this?"

Qiu Xiaoxue lowered her head and said, "You don't know what kind of family I was born in."

"My parents divorced when I was three years old. I don't have much impression of my father. Later, when I was seven years old, my mother found me a stepdad, but When I was eight, they had their own kids, and I was an extra."

"They are very rich, and they think that money can make up for everything, but I have never enjoyed the warmth of family affection, and all I have is pain. When I was in high school, my mother talked to me, hoping that I could live independently. I realized that I was left behind by them."

Having said that, the girl hugged her shoulders and curled up.

"I was alone, watching other children play together, but my personality determined that I couldn't be friends with them. I was afraid of being hurt, and afraid that others would treat me like garbage and throw me away again. It even wakes me up from sleep.”

"The only person who reached out to me was Qiao Siwei."

"When I asked her if I could be good friends, she agreed. I have never liked physical contact with others, but with her, I held someone's hand for the first time. It turns out that being close to others is this kind of thing. Feel."

"When I hold her, I can feel the softness of the girl's body and hear her beating heart. She will listen to my heart, smile at me, comfort me when I am sad, and wipe away My tears, strokes of my hair. More than once I swore I would be best friends with her forever."

She looks like an ordinary person on the outside, and she can talk freely, but she is lonely and weird in her heart. Only Qiao Siwei approached her.

She had never received the love of her parents, that was the first time she got comfort from another human being, and that feeling was called warmth.

Qiao Siwei is like a ray of light, dispelling the haze in her life.

Qiu Xiaoxue's expression was extremely longing: "I think she is like an angel, she has light on her body. I like her so much, and I want to be friends with her forever."

"She is my first friend and my last one. I want to treat her as my only one."

"I am so kind to her, I will give her what I have, and sometimes, I will put her in front of me. She said that she wants a book signed by a celebrity, and I don't hesitate to pay a high price. I don't have breakfast. I saved money and bought it for her. I have always cherished this friendship, and I really treat her well, and no one else in this world can treat her like me."

"We once agreed that we would be good friends for life. We grew up together, bought a house together, and lived together. We will not get married, have children, stay away from those men, and never be separated again."

That was when they were at their best.

The two girls lay side by side on Qiu Xiaoxue's bed, and Lagou made a vow.

Qiu Xiaoxue didn't know if Qiao Siwei had some sincerity when she said that. Anyway, she took these promises seriously in her heart.

This friendship was twisted in her heart and gradually became a demon.

She can't be stupid, there is no day for Qiao Siwei.

Then her eyes dimmed, as if her whole heart was about to break.

"However, she is leaving for college, and we will never see each other again! She didn't listen to me, and applied for the major I chose for her. Instead, she filled out a school in another place. We have to separate... Foolish about this, I was so sad I couldn't breathe. I started having nightmares again."

"She obviously brought me into heaven, how could she just throw me down and let me go back to that hell alone?"

"So, I will do whatever it takes to keep her! I will always be by her side! For this reason, I would rather sacrifice my body, or even my life!"

At that time, she seemed to be lying on a small boat called friendship. She could feel the sinking of the boat and the change of Qiao Siwei's attitude towards her. She had to do something...

At this point in the confession, Qiu Xiaoxue stopped, her eyebrows lowered, looking at the interrogation table in front of her, she took a deep breath.

"So I did something like that..."

She put down her right hand, lowered her head and stroked her belly with an extremely gentle expression: "In this life, no matter whether she lives or dies, she will never leave me. I am her little aunt, and I have the blood of her family in my body." .”

She really didn't like that man at all, and even found him disgusting, but she regarded all this as a sacrifice.

Think of it as self-help for a friendship that is about to be lost.

She finally got her wish and decided to tell Qiao Siwei the good news herself.

In the afternoon, Qiao Siwei accepted what she bought, but didn't listen to her finish.

What she originally wanted to tell her was this biggest and most surprising "gift".

So she didn't achieve her goal, and she still didn't give up. After returning home, she teamed up with Wei Yingtian to come up with this plan.

At two o'clock in the morning this morning, they broke into Qiao Siwei's room to tell her this.

That was the truth that made Qiao Siwei furious.

In order not to leave her, my former best friend went to sleep with her uncle and conceived a child.

At that time, Qiao Siwei, who was sleepy and confused, faced the two uninvited guests who broke into the house, and heard the news that shocked her.She realized that she might not be able to avoid this devil for the rest of her life.

Qiao, who had been tortured for a long time, suddenly collapsed.

She picked up the screwdriver and stabbed Qiu Xiaoxue...

The murder finally happened.

Now, Qiu Xiaoxue confessed all the crimes without reservation, because she thought the police in front of her understood why she did what she did.

She even hoped that these policemen could witness their unswerving friendship until death.

Hearing this, everyone was silent for a while.

Qiu Xiaoxue kept saying that Qiao Siwei was her best friend, but she followed him, broke into the house, and drugged him.

Qiao Siwei died because of her, and she finally burned Qiao Siwei's parents to death...

In the observation room, Bai Meng sighed and said, "What kind of good friend is this? When you meet such a person, you must stay away and run quickly."

Shen Jun dismissed her: "Probably by the time Qiao Siwei realized this, it was already too late..."

The girl in front of her is sick and selfish, but she can pretend. Her madness is hidden under her weak appearance, turning black and white.

On the surface, she seemed to be the weak one, but in fact, Qiao Siwei was the canary locked in a cage by her.

It's not that Qiao Siwei hasn't struggled before. She blocked Qiu Xiaoxue and tried to stay away from her, but in the end, things still came to this point.She couldn't get away from this terrible woman even to the death.

After Qiu Xiaoxue confessed all the crimes and verified that they were correct, she signed them.

Shortly after her confession, Wei Yingtian also admitted his crime.

Everything was exactly as Qiu Xiaoxue said.

Within a day, an arson case of killing the door was closed.

Gu Yanchen came out of the interrogation room and asked Shen Junci to go home together.

When sitting in the car, Shen Junci seemed a little sleepy and didn't speak.

Outside the car window, the scenery of the city changes, day and night alternate.

Gu Yanchen said: "Forensic Doctor Shen, thank you. Without your help, this case would not have come to light so quickly."

Shen Junci hummed, and then said: "It's what I should do."

While listening to the interrogation at night, Shen Jun Ci Huiyu recalled Qiu Xiaoxue's gait, body shape, and the shape of her pelvis.

With years of experience in forensic medicine, he came to a conclusion: Although the month is not very old, Qiu Xiaoxue may be pregnant, so he wrote a note to Gu Yanchen and sent it in.

It was this message that prompted Gu Yanchen to complete his final reasoning.

Shen Junci continued to stare out the car window in a daze.

Gu Yanchen felt his depression, and asked, "I'm stupid."

Shen Junci hummed: "I'm being stupid...the distance between people, boundaries, feelings..."

"In this world, there are many strange things and strange feelings." Gu Yanchen said, "I think feelings cannot be forced, and people's feelings should be two-way. Whether it's two-way love or friendship, Whether it’s family affection, it can be very beautiful.”

Shen Jun said: "That's right... that kind of distorted, single emotion may turn into a murderous flame and burn everything up."
