Chapter 5: Back in the Field

Wei Chenwan took Lin Xi's car home, and the first thing she did when she went home was to fill Wei Xiaoxiao's cat food, in view of her coming home so late today, Wei Xiaoxiao was still a little arrogant, and she didn't look at her when she ate cat food.

"Wei Xiaoxiao, you have no conscience, I bought the cat food for you, and you still put your ass at me. ”

"Meow-" and yawned back into the nest.

It really left her speechless, and the joy of going home was gone.

Lin Xi returned to the scene with a few people the next day, Ai Mang and Yang Peiman were responsible for questioning the victim's wife, and Su Xiaopu was still responsible for monitoring this area.

This time, Lin Xi's main search area was the bedroom, and he wanted to find out where the broken glass that caused the wound on the deceased's back came from.

The whole room looks like a cluttered wardrobe on the surface, and there are paradoxical points, although the bed is stacked with clothes, but the whole bed is very neat.

The deceased was an unemployed vagrant who only knew how to drink and smoke all day long, and his wife was a female worker in three shifts.

"Gao Jun, do you smell anything? Lin Xi handed over the clothes.

Gao Jun leaned in and sniffed: "The smell of wine?"

"It's the smell of wine, how can the clothes that are turned out of the closet smell of alcohol. ”

Lin Xi looked at the clothes in his hand, and sniffed closely: "Gao Jun, look at what else is on this bed, I'll go outside and take a look." ”

Lin Xi paced to the bathroom, the bathroom was very simple, there was a mop behind the door, Lin Xi squatted down and turned over the cloth strip of the mop with his hand, and saw some shiny things in the cloth.

This is?

He took a couple of evidence bags from the Evidence Collection Bureau and put them in the bags.

Lin Xi stood up and looked for something in every corner of the bathroom, and then went to the kitchen.

"Team Lin, come and see. ”

Lin Xi walked back to the bedroom quickly, Gao Jun was holding the pillow on the bed in his hand, the back of the pillow was a little red, and the two of them looked up at each other at the same time.

Lin Xi walked to the outside of the bed, lay on the ground and looked under the bed, just now they felt that there was a smell of wine on their clothes, it was not the smell of clothes at all, that was the smell of this room.

There were some sundries under the bed, and Lin Xi took out the things piled up inside little by little, and saw some broken glass in the dead corner of the bed.

"Gao Jun, bring me a broom. ”

Lin Xi swept out the things under the bed with a broom, and looked down in the direction of the glass, there were a few marks under his knees.

Things started to go the way he wanted them to go.

He hurriedly took the evidence back for testing.

"Lao Liu, you test whether there is the DNA of the deceased on these glass shards, as well as this pillow. ”

Yang Peiman ran over and leaned next to Lin Xi and said: "I just went to ask the colleague of the deceased's wife to ask for her alibi, and the colleague said that she did go to work that day, but in the afternoon I asked for two hours to go home to see her old mother who was a little demented, so I kept an eye on her mother's house to watch the surveillance, but she didn't go." ”

When Lin Xi heard this, he raised his eyebrows.

"Team Lin, do you think this is suspicious?"

"It's not just suspicious, it's problematic. Inform them that the meeting will be held in two hours, and I will wait for Lao Liu's test report. ”

"Yes, Team Lin. ”

Everyone took two bites of lunch, and two hours later, they entered the conference room.

Su Xiaopu was the last to walk in with the computer in his hand.

Lin Xi glanced at the conference room.

"What about the Jin Mo Xuan people?"

"I told you that he should be on his way. Yang Peiman raised his hand and replied.

"What did he do today?"

Everyone didn't seem to pay attention to what Jin Moxuan was doing, just remember that he said that he had something to investigate, and then there was no sound in the WeChat group.

"Ignore him, let's have a meeting first, Lao Liu, you talk about it here first. ”

"The broken glass piece that Lin Xi gave me today, found in the deceased's home, I have tested it, and the DNA on it matches the bleeding spot on the deceased's back, and the blood spot on the pillow also has the deceased's DNA. ”

Lin Xi paddled the stool in front of the computer and released a few photos from the projection that he had taken today.

"These pieces of broken glass were found by me from a mop in the deceased's house, and it is obvious that they were not cleaned, so the bleeding points on the deceased's body are explained, the wine bottle was broken on the ground, and the deceased was crushed against the broken glass when he was covered by the murderer. If it is just a burglary and the owner finds out and kills people, this kind of scene handling is contrary to common sense. The killer wanted to cover up the real cause of death by hitting to death. ”

Lin Xi turned around: "Sister Ai, ...... you here"

Ai Mang continued: "I went to collect testimony with Xiao Yang today, the deceased's wife did go to work on the day of the crime, but in the afternoon I asked for leave in advance and said that I was going to my mother's house, Xiao Yang went to check the surveillance, and the surveillance in the community where her mother lived did not photograph her at all, and then I went to knock on the door, her mother currently has some signs of geriatric diseases, and there are not many words to answer, so I said that my daughter called and said that she could not come, and I also went to check the records of the communication company, and there was indeed a phone call." However, Xiao Yang and I sorted out the communication records of the deceased's wife, except for the telephone conversation with her mother and husband, and a relatively good female colleague, there is no other communication record. ”

Lin Xi rubbed his chin.

Gao Jun took out the footprints that the evidence collection department had compared.

"The only half-footprint left at the scene was from a pair of men's sneakers, because there were so few footprints that could be compared that no useful clues could be found. But I think there's one very strange point in the whole scene......"

"It was so clean. Lin Xi answered, "A living environment can be so clean after a homicide, except for the fingerprints of the deceased, even his wife's fingerprints are very few, as if it was deliberate." ”

"What about Xiaopu?" Lin Xi looked at Su Xiaopu.

Su Xiaopu was silent for a while, and finally spoke up: "I may encounter some difficulties here." ”

"Why, didn't you find anyone?"

The person was found, almost the same as the portrait drawn by Wei Chenwan, but he was not the murderer, and the neighbors only witnessed a person from a scrap recycling station, and there was a very detailed alibi. ”

Lin Xi frowned, all his conjectures now are attached to the chain of evidence, but if this person is not found, then the evidence will be broken, and no matter how suspicious the whole thing is, the other party can deny it, because they have insufficient evidence.

"Solve the case, solve the case, boss! I have found a major clue!" Jin Moxuan ran all the way to the conference room and shouted, "You see, I found the insurance company that the deceased insured before his death, life accident insurance, and the beneficiary is his wife." ”

Lin Xi's eyebrows tightened.

"What's the matter? I don't think you're in high spirits, I'm a big clue, and I can be convicted directly. ”

Lin Xi took the information and flipped it over twice and said: "The evidence is insufficient, all the materials we have now can only think that the other party is suspicious, there is no most critical evidence, and now the murderer is on the run, and there is no way to arrest people with this insurance policy alone." ”

All of you here are out of spirits.

"In this way, you will continue to sort out the existing clues first, see if there is anything missing, and the victim's wife will monitor it, don't startle the snake, I will go out now." ”

Lin Xi called Wei Chenwan but didn't answer.

Maybe she's in class, he thought?

Lin Xi drove to the downstairs of her training class, opened the window to smoke, and when she shook the ashes, her mobile phone called, with three words on it: Wei Chenwan.

"Hey, Lin Xi?"

"You're in class today?"

"Yes, I was lecturing in front of me, and now that I'm free, I saw your call to me, so I've come back, is there anything wrong?"

"Yes, but we need to meet and talk. ”

"Then you wait for me a little longer, I have about half an hour, or you can come up and wait for me." ”

"Good. ”

Lin Xi parked the car, went upstairs, and waited at the door of her classroom.

After class, the students walked out of the classroom one after another, and saw Lin Xi such a handsome guy standing there, which really attracted the attention of many girls.

When all the students in the classroom were gone, Lin Xi went in.

"Wei Chenwan. ”

"Sit, let's talk about something. ”

"That's right, you painted a portrait of the suspect in our police office last time, and we did find the corresponding person, but he is not a murderer, just a waste recycler. So ......"

Lin Xi paused, and Wei Chenwan looked at him, thinking about what he said.

"Actually, it would be a violation of discipline for me to tell you the details of the case, but we ...... The clue is broken, there is no key clue to arrest people, I want to ask you for help. ”

"Please help me, what can I help you?" Wei Chenwan was puzzled, she was not a policeman.

"I'd like to ask you to draw a picture. ”

"Is there another eyewitness confession?"

"Not this time, I know it's embarrassing, but I want to ask you to think about what this suspect really looks like. ”

This time, Wei Chenwan understood it, and there was no detailed facial features, it was all based on imagination.

"I might ......" it was hard for her.

"I'm sorry, it may be abrupt for me to make such a request, but you didn't find out yourself, Su Xiaopu showed me the photo after finding out the person you painted, I was frightened, just according to some words from witnesses, you painted it very similarly, which is really rare. ”

In order to make what he said more convincing, Lin Xi also found out the photo of that person and showed it to Wei Chenwan.

"I have already learned this kind of skill of yours when I was a child, and I know that you have not studied criminal investigation and have no knowledge of this area, so I asked you privately for this matter. ”

"That'...... I'll try it. Wei Chenwan seemed to be moved by Lin Xi's words.

She dragged over an easel, laid out paper, applied masking tape, and took the pencil next to her.

Lin Xi sat next to her and began to speak.

"The suspect was a man, and he didn't leave a trace throughout the crime, no fingerprints, no traces of his blood, only half a footprint. The victim first died of suffocation, then was hit on the head, and faked injuries. He was so decisive that the victim's skull shattered in the first blow, and he struck three times in total. Jin Moxuan suspected that the victim was killed because the insurance beneficiary was defrauding the insurance, and the insurance beneficiary was his wife, and the relationship between the suspect and his wife must be unusual, but there was no telephone contact between them. ”

Wei Chenwan sat there, holding a pencil in her hand and didn't move, she was pondering.

"Lin Xi, I don't know where to start. ”

"It's okay, you have plenty of time, I'm just holding the attitude of giving it a try, hoping that the picture you draw can be used as a reference. ”

Lin Xi also knew in his heart that he was not very sure, but he just wanted to find hope in her.

Wei Chenwan didn't write for a long time, and Lin Xi on the side began to answer the phone.

"What? where did you say his wife went?" As if hearing something, Lin Xi stood up from the stool suddenly,

"You guys keep monitoring, I'll come right over. ”

Lin Xi hung up the phone and looked at Wei Chenwan.

"Uh...... I. ”

"You go first, I'll contact you with the results here. ”

"Okay, then I'll go first. ”

After Lin Xi left, Wei Chenwan went through his words again in his mind and put himself in it.

Lin Xi drove back to the police station and went straight to the office.

"Xiaopu, how's it going?"

"My surveillance here saw that the victim's wife contacted the insurance company and went to the insurance company to apply for compensation, and Brother Jun and Mo Xuan had already passed. ”

"You're staring here. ”

Lin Xi turned around and made a call.

"Gao Jun, as soon as she comes out, you will make an excuse to protect the witnesses and bring her back to the bureau. ”

Gao Jun was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Understood." ”

"Xiaolin, this doesn't fit the process. Armand heard and asked.

"I don't have a process here, as long as I can catch someone, if I don't have an arrest warrant, I can't arrest someone at the first time, bring them back to the bureau first, and the evidence must be found within 24 hours, otherwise all the work will be wasted."

According to Lin Xi's explanation, as soon as the victim's wife left the insurance company's building, he invited him to get into the car in a very civilized way.

Lin Xi waited at the door of the police station, waiting for the victim's wife to get out of the car, he also took her in without saying a word, and then the Criminal Investigation Bureau announced again.

"I'm sorry Ms. Meng, we suspect you on suspicion of murdering your husband and arrest you here. ”

"Eh, you're mistaken, how could I be the murderer of my husband, what's the matter with you cops. ”

Lin Xi ignored her, turned to Ai Mang and said, "Sister Ai, I'll leave it to you." ”

Emang was entrusted with the task and nodded.

Gao Jun took Meng Yi to the interrogation room, and Lin Xi watched from the one-sided glass on the other side.

He pressed the wheat and said to Aimang: "Sister Ai, we only have 24 hours, if the evidence is insufficient, we will be released, you better be able to trap her, it's hard." ”

Ai Mang listened to the voice coming from the headphones, and began to ask questions with the key points that Lin Xi had given her.

"Tell me why you killed your husband. ”

"No, comrade policeman, how can you think I'm a murderer, that's my husband, why should I kill him? ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't say it, we have evidence here to prove that the insurance was cheated after intentional homicide. ”

"I'm getting more and more confused about what you're saying, my husband has a life accident insurance, so I can't take it out when he dies now?"

"Okay, let's talk about something else. ”

Lin Xi looked at Ai Mang, who was being interrogated, she propped up the table with her hands, and Sister Ai began to go deeper in a step-by-step method.
