Criminal evidence

Chapter 21 [The Vanishing Cardamom 21]

Unlike the last time when I looked up and saw the closed blue glass windows, now the doors and windows on the fourth floor where the crime took place are wide open, and staff members in police uniforms are walking back and forth in front of the flower terrace.

The stench of rotting corpses spread unscrupulously into the air.

Lu Qinghe closely followed Shen Changyan's footsteps, and the closer he got to the fourth-floor stairwell, the more clearly he could hear people's continuous nausea and vomiting.

"Hello, Captain Shen."

"Hello, Captain Shen."

There are not many people left upstairs. Except for the two people in the forensic room who are responsible for the initial inspection and recording, the remaining three are professional criminal investigators.

The guards at the door are Ma Yue and Chen Hao, who are responsible for maintaining discipline and preventing the entry of idlers.

Shen Changyan nodded politely after meeting someone, and then asked immediately.

"how is the situation?"

Chen Hao said, "The residents of the whole building have been summoned to the alley for interrogation at the first time, and at the same time, all valuable clues such as cigarette butts, paper towels, and hair up and down the stairs have been collected, and the complete footprints have also been found. There are nearly sixteen groups, and we will try to see if they can be compared with the footprints that appeared at the crime scene in the later stage."

Shen Changyan nodded after listening, and he said, "I'll go in and take a look first."

Just as the man bent down to enter the door, Ma Yue promptly took out a gauze mask from his trouser pocket and handed it out.

"Captain Shen, the smell inside is strong. Although this stuff won't have much effect, it can somewhat block it."

Shen Changyan reached out to take it, and he said softly, "Thank you."

Lu Qinghe followed behind him, thinking that he should give it to himself after giving it to Shen Changyan, but he didn't know that Shen Changyan had entered the door, so he stood here staring at the two big brothers for a long time.

Neither side understood the other's intentions.

Lu Qinghe was speechless, he shouted, "Where is my mask?"

It was only then that Ma Yue realized, "There are only three masks in total, and the lesbians are divided into two. I will give the last one to Team Shen."

"Give it to him or not to me, how can you do things like this, it's too obvious to please your boss, you, why don't I usually see that you are so scheming."

Ma Yue was at a loss, he explained, "I'm so scheming, isn't it just the last one who saw Team Shen coming up and gave it to him?"

Lu Qinghe asked, "Then why don't you just give it to me?"

"No, it's not, it's not that Team Shen is walking ahead of you, I just happened to see him first."

"Come on, all of you."

Lu Qinghe stretched out his arms and hugged his plaster hands with an expression of "Little boy, I still don't know you". His contemptuous gaze swept from Chen Hao to Ma Yue, and his dissatisfaction was palpable.

"Especially you, Ma Yue, don't think that I don't know what you think about Shen Changyan. You have been coveting the position of deputy captain of the criminal investigation detachment for a long time. Last time only a white steamed bun was given to Shen Changyan. This time only You gave Shen Changyan the only white mask again, hum, let me tell you, ouch..."

Before Lu Qinghe finished speaking, Shen Changyan, who couldn't bear to listen, dragged him into the door.

This guy has always had a bad mouth, and he babbled so much that people wanted to stick his mouth together with 502.

Although the white gauze mask made of this material can't block much foul smell, it can at least act as a buffer, allowing pungent smell to enter the nasal cavity in a relatively mild manner.

Before Lu Qinghe could react, he was grabbed by his collar and rushed forward.

He took two panicked steps and almost bumped into Shen Changyan's body.

The other party seemed to think that he was noisy and annoying, so he threw the only mask back as a "charity".

"To shut up."

Shen Changyan lowered his voice, lowered his head slightly, and stretched out his two hands to the left and right sides of Lu Qinghe's face, the guy was still very alert and subconsciously made a dodge movement.

"do not move."

So I added this extra sentence.

Because of the gentle tone of voice, this made Lu Qinghe, who was used to being noisy and hated "tired and crooked", stunned on the spot for a moment, but this effect made Shen Changyan's outstretched hands smoothly hold his reddish hot cheeks.

The mask is in his hand, and the strap is hooked on the tip of the index finger. After lightly pressing the ear with the thumb, the fingertips are gently pushed upwards, and the mask is worn correctly on the face.

"Go in and see if there's anything I can do to help."

Instead of arranging tasks for him or asking him to do something in an overly forceful tone, he patted Lu Qinghe's thin back lightly after speaking.

So... What kind of coaxing tone is this.

Lu Qinghe's brain crashed for a second, and his thoughts went from "why is he touching my face" to "why is he pinching my ear" to "why is he still talking to me like this".

The honest body reaction, the pink color from the tip of the ear all the way to the brow, is about to take up the entire face which is not too big.

"I, I'll go and see Xiao Zhao."

There was only a moment of surprise, and in the next second, Lu Qinghe just remembered to cover his ears and run away.

-

The scene of the crime is a three-bedroom apartment with an area of ​​about 80-90 square meters.

The interior decoration of the house is simple, the walls are yellow, most of the furniture has accumulated a thick layer of dust, there are still individual bowls and chopsticks and porcelain plates in the kitchen sink that have not been cleaned, and a dense layer of mold has fallen.

There are obvious traces of fighting in the house, and many objects such as tables, chairs and vases have obvious traces of human movement.

The floor and sofa had bloodstains from being dragged, and the body of the deceased was near the door of the master bedroom.

The details were handled by professionals. Shen Changyan simply patrolled the scene for a week, and after keeping the general layout and items in mind, he squatted in front of the dead body.

He Yueyun raised his head and glanced at this person, "Why are you here so late today?"

"Ok?"

"The two of us should have received the police at the front and rear. I have been here for almost 20 minutes. Why are you here now?"

It took him a while to realize that he was delayed for a while because of Lu Qinghe's matter, and Shen Changyan responded casually.

"Oh, something happened."

"I heard... a teacher of portrait painting came to the provincial capital yesterday. There was an accident on the way home last night. Is it because of her that you came late?"

This sounded strange, Shen Changyan raised his head to look at He Yueyun inexplicably.

Most likely, there was too much scrutiny of emotions in these eyes, which made the other party nervous and stammered for a while.

"You, don't get me wrong, I just asked casually."

"Misunderstanding what?"

"Just, just, just that...Anyway, I'll just ask casually."

The first round of preliminary examination was basically over, and the intern assistant brought by He Yueyun also stopped the nib of his busy record.

Shen Changyan was so focused on the autopsy results that he was not interested in He Yueyun's thoughtless questioning at all.

He reached out to the intern to ask for the documents, "Show me."

The intern hesitated holding the notebook.

I still remember that the last time He Yueyun came back from the criminal investigation team after a quarrel with someone, she still cried and told everyone that in the future, any information that was not in her hands would not be directly handed over to any outsiders.

The last time I sneaked Shen Changyan and Lu Qinghe into the autopsy room to examine the corpse, I was already very guilty, but this time it was still in front of my immediate superior.

The intern hesitated, holding this book like a hot potato.

Shen Changyan probably understood the cause of the problem, he didn't take back his outstretched hand, but his eyes fell from the intern's face to He Yueyun's.

"Hey, give it to him."

He Yueyun got annoyed, snatched the notebook from the intern and threw it to Shen Changyan.

Speaking of anger, even if it is a big hatred, no one in their forensic room has the right to delay or affect the progress and development of the criminal investigation team's investigation of the case.

It's just that Shen Changyan is too business-like and too incomprehensible, and sometimes he is very annoying.

In the thick notebook, most of the professional anatomy knowledge was written down in neat fonts.

Shen Changyan quickly flipped through the results of the second half of the autopsy records, before he could scan the first line of words, Lu Qinghe's scream behind him attracted all his attention.

"what happened?"

He got up, still holding the notebook handed to him by the intern in his hand, and rushed to the master bedroom where Lu Qinghe was.

Even though all the windows were opened for ventilation in order to quickly emit the stench of rotting corpses, the room was full of choking dust and damp musty smell.

Lu Qinghe put on the gloves. He was carefully looking for any traces of fingerprints on the glass windows.

As a result, from the window to the bed and then to the bottom of the bed, I reached out and groped for a long time to dig out the garbage, and finally I used my little finger to draw out a light yellow girl's dress.

When he first got this dress that was stuffed under the bed with all the sundries, Lu Qinghe thought about the accident that happened to the granddaughter of this old man ten years ago. Lu Qinghe just thought about it. Sweep under the bed.

It wasn't until he couldn't admit that the clothes had been let go for ten years no matter how hard he looked, Lu Qinghe suddenly realized that he yelled.

"Fuck!"

Shen Changyan came afterward.

While the two looked at each other, with just one glance, Shen Changyan completely accepted the message that Lu Qinghe wanted to convey.

So he quickly reached out and opened the wardrobe door of the master bedroom, and when he confirmed that only the old man's own clothes were piled up in a mess, Shen Changyan turned into the remaining two rooms to check the wardrobe.

Until the door of the last bedroom was opened, Lu Qinghe followed up and put his head together and said.

"That's it."

The items are neatly placed, and there is a bed of baby wind chimes hanging on the bedside lamp.

The two of them quickly looked around, and the objects were arranged roughly, then they came to the closet door tacitly.

They still don't know what kind of accident happened to the granddaughter of the deceased who had an accident ten years ago, how old she was when the accident happened, and why all three members of the family lost their lives.

"Shen Changyan, it's all clothes for a seven or eight-month-old girl. Compared with these, isn't the size of this skirt too big?"

Shen Changyan pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

Lu Qinghe couldn't believe that it happened by such a coincidence, but when he checked the statement earlier, he did hear from the victim's family in the girl dumping case that the little sister was wearing a skirt and sandals when she left home that day.

"However, we can't make a decision so early. After all, this old thing is also a victim now. Maybe someone committed the crime and deliberately threw this skirt here to frame him."

Before Lu Qinghe finished speaking, Shen Changyan took the dress from him.

He clenched his fingers slightly, before speaking.

"Whether he committed the crime or not, we will find out by calling the family members of the first victim to identify the relics."

Lu Qinghe's eyes lit up, and he said, "Yes, didn't the remains of the first victim be extracted from the body? Let Forensic Doctor He take a hard trip to extract DNA samples and go to the provincial capital for identification. As long as the results are consistent , that’s a sure thing.”

Just as Shen Changyan nodded, Lu Qinghe said again.

"However, this case feels weird. After pressing for so long, I can't find any clues. Not to mention, many other cases came out in the middle, and such a big harvest suddenly came out today. Why do I always feel, always It feels unreal."

It does feel unreal.

It seems that someone is deliberately making arrangements, as if waving his hand to dismiss the beggar.

"The case has been solved for you, don't bother."

"And let's not talk about it, it is so coincidental that the comparison is consistent. If, suppose, in case, if the comparison is inconsistent, why is there a girl's dress hidden so deep in the old man's house? major criminal cases?"

What Lu Qinghe said was a little broken.

At this time, Shen Changyan couldn't think about how many tricks were hidden in the case.

He must keep calm, he must be clear, the road has to be walked step by step, and the meal has to be eaten bite by bite.

"Chen Hao jumped on horses."

"arrive."

"Immediately inform the family members of the girl dumping case to come to the Municipal Bureau to identify the belongings of the deceased, and then make good friends with the deceased before his death, or bring relatives, friends and neighbors who are more familiar with the disappearance of the deceased's son's family ten years ago to the Municipal Bureau for investigation .”

"Yes."

"Forensic doctor He, last time you told me that the murderer can be identified based on the internal organs of the first victim, but the premise is that I must give you a DNA sample for the suspect, right, the man in front of you, wait After Chen Hao's family members identify the relics, if they get a "yes" result, please don't delay even a quarter of an hour and immediately take the samples to the provincial capital for identification. "

He Yueyun looked at the dress in Shen Changyan's hand, accepted some information, and nodded obediently.

"no problem."

"Lu Qinghe."

"arrive."

"You follow me back to the city bureau."

The author says:

Lu Qinghe: I jumped over the cesspit, this smell is justsoso.
