Chapter 7: Suicide or Homicide?
"It's all work, what's convenient or inconvenient. Qiu Lan smiled slightly, and said in a gentle voice.
"Then I turned the corner. Xu Chengyan said while driving, "Originally, the family of the deceased could not afford to hire a lawyer, but this incident had too much impact. ”
Half past seven in the evening. Xu Chengyan took Qiu Lan to a private room full of spring.
The other party has arrived.
The deceased's wife, Ms. Chen, was holding a one-year-old child, her eyes were red, and there were two men in suits and leather shoes beside her, with handsome faces and focused expressions.
Qiu Lan and Xu Chengyan sat down, and as soon as they raised their eyes, they met Li Shanghan's deep and dark long eyes.
"Mr. Li?" Qiu Lan was a little surprised, she always thought that Li Shanghan was a rich second generation, and Li's industry was also one of the best in City A, otherwise the Qiu family would not have wanted to get married.
However, she couldn't imagine that Li Shanghan turned out to be a lawyer?
"Do you know?" Xu Chengyan was a little stunned, and introduced himself, "I am the policeman in charge of this case, surnamed Xu." ”
"Hello Officer Xu. Li Shanghan stood up and stretched out his hand, "Li Shanghan, this is my assistant Xiao Yang." ”
After shaking hands, he lowered his interested gaze on Qiu Lan's face, and slowly opened his lips, "Miss Qiu Lan, have you joined the Public Security Bureau?"
Qiu Lan nodded, and also stretched out her hand to him officially: "Forensic Qiu Lan." Lawyer Li is good. ”
Li Shanghan hooked his lips slightly, "Doctor Qiu is good." ”
"I don't know what Lawyer Li wants to know?" Qiu Lan felt that his palm seemed to be unusually hot and hot, and hurriedly retracted her hand and asked out loud.
"Why don't we order food first?" Li Shanghan looked at Qiu Lan's face, but continued, "We can be hungry, but the child hasn't eaten yet." ”
Everyone looked at the face of the little boy in Ms. Chen's arms, who was still ignorant, and his big eyes turned smartly, and they couldn't help but feel compassion.
Li Shanghan ordered the food, and said to the waiter: "Steam an egg custard for the child first, it doesn't matter if other dishes are slower." ”
The waiter went down with the menu.
Li Shanghan looked at Qiu Lan and Xu Chengyan at this time, and Xu Sheng said: "I want to know if the autopsy report of the deceased has come out? What is the cause of death? Whether my client has a chance of winning the lawsuit with the Qiu Group depends on this examination report." ”
"The preliminary results came out, and the cause of death was indeed due to the rupture of internal organs and death due to exhaustion due to falling from a building. Qiu Lan said softly.
Ms. Chen, who had been silent, heard this, and tears suddenly welled up again.
She didn't want to affect the child, wiped her tears, turned her face away, and whimpered in a low voice: "No, he won't commit suicide, although we are poor, but very affectionate, we just had a child last year, and he often said that when he gets a salary and buys a house, he will have a second child, how can he commit suicide? Impossible, even if we have survived the pressure, how can we commit suicide because of a few criticisms? When I married him, there was nothing, and we lived in a basement, so he didn't suffer anything?"
Qiu Lan sat next to Ms. Chen, and when she saw her crying, she trembled all over, and she was indeed heartbroken.
She took out a tissue and handed it to Ms. Chen, and comforted her in a low voice: "Ms. Chen, the deceased is gone, you have to take care of your body, and there are children waiting for you to take care of." ”
Ms. Chen took the tissue, looked at the child in her arms, and sobbed with sadness: "I'm not for money, I'm not afraid of poverty, I'm just for justice!
"Ms. Chen, calm down, there are further autopsy results that have not yet come out. Xu Chengyan also persuaded in a cold voice, "If your husband is really persecuted, our police will definitely give you justice." ”
For this kind of occasion, Li Shanghan has long been commonplace, he has always looked indifferent, and he can't see how he is in a mood.
After Ms. Chen had cried, he asked slowly, "Officer Xu, can you reveal the confessions of the witnesses?"
Xu Chengyan nodded and said, "There are a few cleaners downstairs who are watching, and there are also people in the deceased's office who witnessed him quarreling with the supervisor, and then went up to the rooftop, according to eyewitnesses, when the deceased fell, he was the only one upstairs." Qiu's version is that the deceased jumped off the building in anger because he couldn't stand the criticism. ”
However, according to Ms. Chen, the deceased was a very resilient person who lived in the basement and did not look like a person who could not withstand the blows. Li Shanghan said again.
"No, he won't jump off the building, he used to marry me, my parents didn't agree, he knelt at the entrance of the village for three days, how could he be a soft-spoken person?" Ms. Chen retorted.
"Is there a possibility that the confession will be falsified? Is there still a timely call to the police? Is the scene a first-hand scene?" asked Li Shanghan again.
"According to the examination of the body, the time of death of the deceased is almost the same as the time of the alarm, and they have no time to move the scene or cover up anything-" Qiu Lan frowned, "If he kills, there will definitely be a second person on the stage on that day-"
Xu Chengyan shook his head: "It has been inspected, and there is no trace of the second person." ”
He paused again, "Of course, even if there is no artificial push to push him down, it does not mean that he is committing suicide, and there are many ways to kill him, such as taking drugs, or threatening to persecute him." ”
"That's just waiting for the secondary inspection report to come out. Qiu Lan said, "If you take drugs, etc., you can test it." ”
Several people talked secretly for a while, and after eating, because of the way, Xu Chengyan sent Ms. Chen back, and Li Shanghan sent Qiu Lan home.
As soon as the two of them went out, they were seen by Qiu Yan, who was having dinner with Xue Yancheng upstairs.
"Qiu Lan, Li Shanghan, when did they get together?" Qiu Yan frowned, "If you let that slut from Qiu Lan climb up to the Li family—no! Xue Yancheng, you go and stop them immediately!"
Qiu Yan ordered with a calm face.
Today, the group has become very busy because of the jumping off the building, and reporters from all parties, watching the excitement, the police, have coped with batch after batch, and Xue Yancheng feels very tired.
"Yanyan, Qiu Lan is no longer the Qiu Lan she used to be, you still have a band-aid around your neck, let's not provoke her. Xue Yancheng took a sip of soup and persuaded.
"What did you say!" Qiu Yan couldn't imagine that Xue Yancheng, who had always been obedient to her, would reject her, or because of Qiu Lan's slut.
Her pupils shrank, revealing an angry look, and she suddenly stepped forward and raised her hand and slapped Xue Yancheng fiercely.
"Who do you think you are? If it weren't for wanting to sell Qiu Lan for a good price, would I have taken a fancy to you? You are just a dog in my eyes! If you want to stay in Qiu Clan, stop her immediately!" Qiu Yan commanded arrogantly.
