Criminal evidence

Shen Changyan grabbed his collar and went all the way up to the third floor. Before entering the office, he saw Chen Lu anxiously holding up the phone receiver, and she was standing in front of his desk.

When he entered the door, the other party just hung up. When Chen Lu saw Shen Changyan, he immediately went up to him and said.

"Captain Shen, do you know about the murder case in Sui'an County that was received by the police last night?"

"know."

Shen Changyan responded perfunctorily, and he strode forward, as if he was still tired, and when he lay down in the wicker chair, he leaned back heavily, followed by closing his eyes uncontrollably, and continued to rest.

Chen Lu stood on one side and pursed her lips. She could feel that Shen Changyan's behavior seemed to be different from usual, but she didn't dare to ask more, so she just walked slowly to the other side, she said cautiously.

"Captain Shen, don't you plan to visit the scene in Suian County?"

"Zhang An and the others have already gone." With so many people in the criminal investigation team, he wouldn't need to worry about everything, but... Shen Changyan raised his hand and looked at his watch and said, "Why haven't you come back for so long? "

Chen Lu hesitated, "I just heard that they seem to be in some trouble over there."

Shen Changyan raised his eyes, and the moment he met his gaze, Chen Lu immediately understood, so she hurriedly said.

"Just now, Ma Yue borrowed the phone from the village committee to report the situation. He said that it was already very late when the police were dispatched yesterday, and the scene of the crime was in a mountainous area. It took more than 3 hours, and it was basically predicted that it would be difficult to find people rashly breaking into the forest at this time, and it would be easy to damage the crime scene, so they pulled down the cordon at the bottom of the mountain and visited the surrounding villages of the crime scene. Residents have also heard some information from eyewitnesses."

"what's the situation?"

"I heard that the old man who discovered the case originally guarded the melon fields, but there have been a lot of melon thieves in recent summers, and it happened to catch up with the fruit selling season. In order to ensure the income of the melons and fruits, he simply built a small shed to live in. Around the melon field, last night at about 22 o'clock, people were falling asleep, and heard some noises in a daze, and thought it was a thief, so they played a flashlight to check the situation, but the bright light was beating around. Suddenly, it flashed onto a person covered in blood."

"Male and female?"

"The murderer's gender is unclear, but the victim can now be confirmed to be a man, and when Brother Lu and Zhang An went into the mountain to search at dawn in the morning, they said that they followed the blood all the way to the side of the mountain stream. It was thrown down there."

"The victim's body was never found. How did the old man confirm that the victim was male?"

"I don't know. Anyway, he insisted that it was true. When he saw this scene, he chased after him, yelling for people to stop, but he remembered being afraid after running halfway, so he turned back and went down the mountain, and then found the village committee. Call the police."

Shen Changyan didn't answer after listening, he reached out and pulled out a few documents from his desk.

Chen Lu casually scanned the titles of those documents, and found that they were still the two cases of Liu Wenshu and Wu Chengzhou.

"Captain Shen, there is one more thing. The people in the director's office just came down and said that today's commendation meeting will still be held on time at 14:[-] in the afternoon. Please remember to prepare well."

"What am I preparing?"

"Well, I don't know what you are going to prepare. Anyway, I am just a messenger. I told you this. Whether you want to participate or not, that is your own business."

After Chen Lu boldly finished speaking, she slid back to her seat like a loach and sat down.

Shen Changyan didn't know what to do with rummaging in the desk drawer. He filled out two forms for a while, and crumpled up two pieces of waste paper for a while, and he could feel the irritability and depression from his brother even from a distance.

Chen Lu was a little surprised why this person suddenly became like this. It should be a good thing to have solved the case, but since Wu Chengzhou fell ill after the last round of trial, Shen Changyan's mood has become extremely strange.

He fidgeted and tossed about a lot of chores, then suddenly stood up and walked towards the door, and he didn't forget to greet Chen Lu before leaving the door.

"Go to the sixth floor and tell Director Dong that the Criminal Investigation Team has received the police. I'm going to the scene now and I won't be back in the afternoon."

"Hey, Team Shen."

Chen Lu stood up hastily, but Shen Changyan's back quickly disappeared out of the corridor.

There was the roar of a car starting near the window near the parking lot, and Chen Lu rushed over again. She leaned half her body against the edge of the window, and then saw Shen Changyan driving out of the gate of the city bureau alone, and then turned back to Sui Go to An County.

Ma Yue happened to go downstairs with a stack of documents, and did not see Shen Changyan when he entered the door, so he asked Chen Lu, "Where is Team Shen?"

Chen Lu pointed out the window, "Going out, it looks like I'm going to investigate a new case in Suian County."

"Going out? Didn't he say he won't go?"

"I don't know, it's possible..." Chen Lu hesitated to speak.

Ma Yue raised the document in his hand in annoyance and said, "Forget it, it's impossible, come here and help me first."

Chen Lu asked, "What's the matter?"

Ma Yue said, "Didn't Brother Lu get beaten up by a group of hooligans when he saved someone last time? It just happened that the aunt insisted that her daughter's disappearance was related to those little things. The case should be handed over to the police at the local police station, but the file has not yet been distributed, and the case is temporarily in the hands of our criminal investigation team. Gang Shen said in person that the investigation will continue. I can't help it. Someone needs someone to record the statement. For the record, if you’re okay, come here and help me.”

Chen Lu got up, she quickly followed Ma Yue and said, "Here we come."

The two walked out of the criminal investigation team's office door side by side. Chen Lu went down a few steps before suddenly remembering and screaming.

"I almost forgot, you are waiting for me here, I have to go to the director's office to report to Captain Shen that he can't attend the commendation meeting in the afternoon."

"What?" Ma Yue was surprised. He grabbed the railing of the stairs, twisted his head and shouted upstairs, "He won't participate in the commendation meeting?"

-

The car was speeding up in the direction of Suian County, Shen Changyan frowned and drove there.

The police cordon was pulled down the mountain, and when a car was approaching, the comrades in charge of the police immediately rushed forward.

"Team Shen?"

The other party recognized him at a glance.

Shen Changyan pulled off his seat belt, took the car keys, and asked after getting out of the car, "What's the progress now?"

The police officer followed him and said, "At present, the victim's body has not been found. We found the bottom of the mountain stream based on blood stains. The water in the stream is fast and it went into the cave. According to the analysis, the body should have been washed into it. Brother Lu They're still figuring out how to get in and search."

In the summer of August, the foliage is luxuriant and the vegetation is overgrown.

I heard that there is a rushing water stream near the mountain forest in the village, which is spread outside the cave. Now that I haven't gone too far up, Shen Changyan has already heard the noise of the crowd and the sound of the rapids.

"Here and here, the marks are all bloodstains left during the towing process."

The police officers who followed were still explaining to Shen Changyan in detail all the clues they had found at the crime scene and had been grasped so far.

"I heard from the people in the village that there is a water dragon king living in the entrance of this cave. He usually drags a few children and women in every year. This time he was fed to a man for no reason, and he didn't think he was dirty. Spit it out."

The closer it was to the water stream, the more moist and soft the soil became.

Shen Changyan ignored the police officer's jokes with him, he only asked, "Have you collected any complete footprints around here?"

"I collected a few, but not many. When Brother Lu came, he asked the survey team to go in first, but I see that the ground is full of mud, and I heard from people in the village that people who usually come up to fetch water and wash clothes There are quite a lot, and there are also those who raise running pheasants, those who guard melon fields, and there are probably a lot of clues to interfere with us."

Mentioning Lu Qinghe, Shen Changyan's throat felt a little sour again.

At this time, he asked, "Where is Lu Qinghe?"

"Brother Lu is still inside. Everyone was stunned when they saw the torrent in the morning. You said that if the corpse was really washed into the stone cave, what else can we do? And I heard from the people in the village that before Several of the children who came here to play and make trouble in the water were washed away by the rush water, and no one was alive or dead, and no one knew where they were washed away."

They were about to step into the edge of the stream, when suddenly someone ran out in a hurry.

The accompanying police officer yelled at the figure, "Hey, Tu Laoliu, where are you going in such a hurry?"

A reply came from afar, "The rope that binds people is not long enough, I have to find another one."

"Tie people?" Shen Changyan asked subconsciously, "Tie who?"

"I'm not sure about this, but when I came down from the top of the mountain stream in the morning, I seemed to hear Brother Lu saying that he wanted to go down and have a look."

There are many people around the stream, rocks and rapids, and green mountains and forests.

Shen Changyan quickened his pace and came all the way. He saw that the rope had been put into the mountain stream, and the water flowing down from the stone stream on the top of the mountain formed a small waterfall. Another layer of white splashes.

"Where are the people from Lu Qinghe?" Shen Changyan looked around and saw no one, he was anxious, so he grabbed a police officer surrounded by the mountain stream and asked.

Zhang An turned around when he heard the movement, and was also a little surprised to see Shen Changyan.

"Team Shen."

"You put Lu Qinghe down?"

One end of the rope was pulled by everyone's hands, and the other end had already been put into the rapids. Shen Changyan looked around to make sure he didn't see Lu Qinghe, and then began to question loudly.

Zhang An was stunned for a moment, and then he explained to others, "Brother Lu said he was good at swimming, and asked everyone to find a rope to let him down."

"If he tells you to let him go, just let him go. See for yourself how fast the current is. Have you mastered the terrain in the mountain stream? Let him go down rashly, and let him be washed away by the current, in case he hits a rock under the water Reef, this is killing people."

Shen Changyan lost control of his anger, and before he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting next to him.

"Put the rope down another half meter."

"you……"

Anxious, angry, eager to step forward and kick all these guys down one by one.

Shen Changyan was about to go forward to grab the rope from someone, when Zhang An put his arm around the brother's waist and stopped him forcibly.

"Team Shen, this method is also a plan that Brother Lu and we have discussed for a long time. Don't be angry. We have all thought about what you just thought about being washed away by the current and hitting rocks and reefs. Brother Lu, this rope At least ten circles were tied around the body, and we dragged the person down. He said, if he pulls once, we will continue to put the rope on the basis of half a meter each time. If he pulls twice, then we will immediately put him down. People are pulled up."

After Shen Changyan listened, he forced himself to calm down for ten seconds, then swallowed his saliva, and asked, "So, was he sending you a signal just now?"

"Yes, if this person doesn't pull the rope, we wouldn't dare to let him down casually, right? If you are really worried, Captain Shen, then you can pull the rope on the shore, and you can feel at ease."

"Forget it, you should find another rope."

"I found a rope just now, and we haven't had time to connect it up yet." Zhang An was halfway through the conversation, but when he realized something was wrong, he quickly turned around and said, "No, Team Shen, you don't plan to go down too, do you?" .”

"I'm also good at swimming." Shen Changyan said, bent down and planned to take off his shoes, he said, "At least I can hold it longer than Lu Qinghe."

"Don't, Team Shen."

Zhang An was in a hurry. Just now he stopped his waist for fear that his brother would jump off if he got excited, and now he stopped his hands for fear that his brother would really take off his shoes.

"Team Shen, Team Shen, this place is dirty. Take a closer look and see that the ground is full of mud. It just rained on the mountain yesterday, and half of the earthworms were exposed. It's unnecessary, it's really unnecessary. Why bother, look at you If you come clean, you have to soak yourself in water, then wrap yourself in mud, so that you get dirty, why do you bother?"

Lu Qinghe's shoes and socks were neatly placed on the clean stones by the water stream.

Shen Changyan was stopped by someone, he competed with Zhang An, and just when he was about to pull the guy's fingers away, he heard someone shouting excitedly standing by the stream.

"Twice, brother Lu tugged twice, quickly pull the person up."

The rope was put a long way, and the length pulled up from the water was darker.

Shen Changyan still maintained the posture of wrestling with Zhang An. He stared intently at the edge of the water stream while holding his breath. Everyone pulled the rope a little faster.

Suddenly a black figure was pulled out from the rushing water, Lu Qinghe's head stuck out of the water, and he took two deep breaths.

Zhang An hurriedly let go of Shen Changyan, and he strode forward to the water stream to help.

Lu Qinghe was still dragging an unclothed suspect in his arms, and suddenly many people surrounded him to help drag him to the shore.

Adhering to the attitude of putting work first, even if he choked on a sip of water and coughed severely at the moment, he still insisted on pushing the victim's body up first.

Lu Qinghe took a slow step to climb up the bank. He slipped on the soles of his feet and staggered on the bank. His knee hit the small stone, leaving a bloodstain. Before he could grin his teeth and say something painful, he lifted up He immediately saw Shen Changyan standing on the bank, not far from him, standing on top of the hill.

"My God, Brother Lu, it's a good thing you're fine, if you don't make any movement within three seconds, Team Shen will..."

"Cough." Shen Changyan interrupted what Zhang An wanted to say.

The eyes of Lu Qinghe and Lu Qinghe met in mid-air for an instant, but immediately, the two of them turned their heads to the other side tacitly.

Zhang An was interrupted, shut his mouth, and pulled Lu Qinghe ashore again.

Shen Changyan turned his back and greeted everyone, "Close the team after the clues are investigated."

Lu Qinghe exhausted all his strength, and after being dragged up, he also lay down on the stone board to catch his breath.

The people in the forensic room were two steps late and arrived at the scene to examine the body. After Lu Qinghe had rested, he took off his drenched top. Clothes that were still wet were put back on.

"Brother Lu." Zhang An climbed back to the mountain bag at this time, and he stood there and shouted.

Lu Qinghe turned around.

"At the bottom of the mountain, there is a car going back to the Municipal Bureau. Let's follow it together. Otherwise, the people who transported the corpses and evidence will leave in a while, and we will have to take the car back by ourselves."

Lu Qinghe sat where he was. He didn't answer, but he looked hesitant.

So Zhang An shouted again, "By the way, Captain Shen asked me to bring you a message. He said that he would go to the village to investigate and investigate, and he would not come with us. He asked you to go back and change your wet clothes first, so as not to catch a cold. "

When these words came out, he didn't know whether to make him feel relieved or worried.

In short, Lu Qinghe didn't feel very good.

Shen Changyan properly avoided the embarrassment of the two meeting each other in this situation, but he deliberately avoided it and became unfamiliar again, which was not Lu Qinghe's original intention.

At this time, Zhang An got up from the ground and ran down to help him. He didn't seem to notice anything wrong between the two.

Shen Changyan quickly went down the mountain, and the police officers accompanying the investigation had contacted the village party secretary and the first witness at the scene of the crime. They were all middle-aged men in their forties.

"Has the victim's identity been confirmed?"

"Not yet, the people in the forensic room just went up, and we haven't notified the villagers to come and identify the corpse yet."

"Did any valuable clues be found in the village last night?"

"I knocked on the doors of a few families. They didn't say there was a murder case before, and everyone was still in a daze. They didn't know anything when they asked. Then the news leaked out somehow, and soon some villagers came to our police on their own initiative. For a while, he said that the dog barked, and in a while, he said that the chicken flew away."

"Let the village party secretary and witnesses go up and identify themselves." Shen Changyan took a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

The police officer followed him and asked, "Captain Shen, where are you going?"

"I'll go to the right and turn around." Shen Changyan said, "After a while, the superior will identify you and bring someone down to find me."

"Hey, Captain Shen, there is a stool over here, just sit here and wait."

The new comrade yelled at people a few times, but Shen Changyan didn't look back, and his figure quickly disappeared from the sight of the exit here.

The policeman pursed his lips inexplicably, thinking in his heart that besides mosquitoes and snakes, rats and ants, what else could there be in this ravine.

But when he turned his head, he happened to see Lu Qinghe, who had just climbed out of the rapids, was drenched and embarrassed, walking down the mountain with Zhang An.
