Chapter 1: The Death of Jian Yuyu
"Wow-"
In the cold and solemn corpse room of the funeral home, the heavy freezer box was pulled out.
The body of the victim Jian Yuyu was wrapped in plain white.
Lin Xiuze put on disposable plastic gloves and slowly opened the corpse cloth covering his head, showing Jian Yuyu's gray appearance.
Under the white fluorescent lights of the funeral parlor, she looked like a sleeping statue, her eyes and eyebrows still had a vivid luster, although her lips did not have a trace of blood, but the whole looked unusually calm, and the wound on her neck showed a small circle of gray and black, like a mole lightly touched by an eyebrow pencil.
The victim died of poisoning, could it be that the problem was the wound on his neck? Lin Xiuze thought to himself.
At the front end of Jian Yuyu's right ear, a small hole was seen.
She is a patient with congenital preauricular fistula.
Lin Xiuze subconsciously thought of himself, he is also a patient with congenital anterior ear fistula.
It was September 17, 2019.
It was drizzling in Chongqing, an autumn rain and a cold.
Lin Xiuze walked out of the funeral home with his assistant Xiao Ai, squinting at the building outside that was shrouded in smoke and rain.
"Let's go, let's go to the criminal investigation team!"
They went to the Second Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Yucheng Public Security Bureau and found Wang Yumian, the leader of the criminal investigation team in charge of the case.
Lin Xiuze showed his lawyer's card and showed his intention, and when he heard that it was the defense lawyer of the suspect from the legal aid center, Wang Yumian did not seem so active, so he asked a young police officer under him to receive Lin Xiuze and went to work separately.
Lin Xiuze got Jian Yuyu's case file, and the autopsy report issued by the forensic doctor in it was described as follows:
Young women, well nourished.
The right ear suffers from a congenital anterior auricular fistula, the facial features and limbs are sound and undamaged, the skin color is abnormal frost lime blue, and the right carotid artery has a pinhole-like hole. The inner wall of the hole is slightly jagged, with residual fibrous feather flocculents, superficial reddish and black, and a little crystallization around the outer edge of the hole.
There is no external loss other than this table.
The description of the organs recorded in detail the characteristics of each organ, whether there was damage or not, and there was such a description that attracted Lin Xiuze's attention:
Up to 90% of the blood is lost in the body, and a large number of non-enzymatic polypeptide toxin proteins are retained in the inner wall of arterial blood vessels.
The autopsy conclusion reads: non-enzymatic polypeptide toxin protein spreads throughout the body along the lymph and blood circulation, causing blood and nerve damage and death from shock.
......
Non-enzymatic peptide toxin protein ......
What kind of toxin is this, and will it enter the human body by injection or other means.
According to the forensic doctor, this toxin is not a synthetic toxin, it is a natural toxin, similar to snake venom or secreted by animals, this toxin is quickly oxidized in the air and loses its toxicity, so it is not easy to be preserved.
The more Lin Xiuze thought about it, the more strange he felt, since it was a unique toxin on animals, did it mean that Jian Yuyu was bitten to death by some kind of animal? For example, a poisonous snake? But how could there be such a thing in a college women's dormitory? And none of the information he got now showed that it was related to animals.
Lin Xiuze fell into deep thought.
The 9.6 campus murder case caused a sensation throughout Chongqing.
The victim, Jian Yuyu, a senior student at Yucheng University of Science and Technology, was found tragically dead in the university dormitory ten days ago.
This shirt is from her best friend and classmate Lu Feifei since she was a child!
And Lu Feifei disappeared mysteriously, and was captured by surveillance footage of Jian Yuyu escaping from the dormitory building in the early morning of the day she was killed, and finally the police found Lu Feifei under a bridge hole in the north of Yucheng.
However, Lu Feifei did not give any answer to the police interrogation, the only answer was that she did not kill people and asked for legal aid.
The Legal Aid Center of the Yucheng Judicial Bureau received the procuratorate's request for Lu Feifei's defense, and Lin Xiuze took the initiative to ask Ying to be Lu Feifei's defender.
Lin Xiuze is a lawyer at the Yucheng Legal Aid Center, and as the most marginal department of the Justice Bureau, most of his colleagues also go for leisure and judicial allowances.
However, Lin Xiuze has always believed that it is possible here that there is a glimmer of hope for those who have been wronged outside the law, and it is difficult to turn over from the constraints of money and social resources.
What's the point?
Although many of Lin Xiuze's classmates have squeezed into more authoritative legal institutions, or started their own law firms, he has never been moved, and he sincerely hopes to help those who really need help through his own efforts.
Judging from the situation of the case learned in the past two days, Lu Feifei's murder of Jian Yuyu has been confirmed!
Lu Feifei's bloodstained shirt left at the scene, the test results showed that the blood type and DNA were consistent with Jian Yuyu, and the surveillance of the school's girls' dormitory building captured Lu Feifei climbing to the first floor through the second-floor window at 3 a.m. on September 6, and then jumped to the ground, dodging the locked door of the dormitory building, and then escaped from the campus.
If you don't look at the motive for the killing, you can't escape just by looking at the two major suspects of Lu Feifei.
The only thing that is doubtful now is that Jian Yuyu's autopsy report shows that the blood loss in her body has reached 90%, which means that basically the blood in Jian Yuyu's body has been drained.
An adult's blood volume is about 3-7 kilograms, so much blood, except for a small amount of blood on Lu Feifei's clothes, where did the others go?
Sewer garbage room?
However, the on-site investigation did not reveal any traces of treatment and concealment.
Could it be that the murderer himself absconded with him?
Lin Xiuze's mind immediately flashed the scene of the underground black blood station, selling blood to make money?
No, who is so desperate to poison a young girl for the few coins that sell blood.
Moreover, according to the students and teachers at the school, Jian Yuyu and Lu Feifei grew up together from childhood to adulthood, and they are like sisters, which is even more untenable!
What's even more bizarre is that the small hole left on Jian Yuyu's carotid artery is as detailed as a pinhole, and the reason for Jian Yuyu's direct death is a large number of non-enzymatic polypeptide toxin proteins in the body, that is, Jian Yuyu was poisoned first and lost blood later.
If the toxin cannot be injected into the body, is it ingested through eating?
However, the autopsy report clearly indicates that the toxin circulated through the lymphatic system to the whole body, causing nerve damage and shock.
There are no toxins left in the digestive system!
So where did this toxin come from and how did it get into Jian Yuyu's body?
What is the relationship between non-enzymatic polypeptide toxin protein and Lu Feifei?
If it wasn't Lu Feifei's doing, why did she climb the window and escape in the middle of the night?
Lin Xiuze asked Wang Yumian, the captain of the second criminal investigation team in charge of this case, about these questions.
Wang Yumian said with a look of ignorance,
We have all taken into account what you thought of and didn't expect, if it's really that simple, what else do you want us police to do? Since you are Lu Feifei's defense lawyer, you go and ask her!
Lin Xiuze's original plan was to visit Lu Feifei in the detention center the next day.
He also expected that as the defender of the suspect Lu Feifei, he would go to the criminal investigation team for help, and it was expected that he would touch his nose, but fortunately, he did not run in vain, at least he found out that Jian Yuyu's poisoning was not artificial, and with this, it could be a big breakthrough.
He wanted to see if Lu Feifei could find more clues to prove this.
No matter what poisonous snakes and beasts are, as long as it can be proved that the toxin is not artificially injected, there is great hope for Lu Feifei's defense.
After showing the guards on duty in the detention center his lawyer's license and the certificate of the assistance center, a sturdy female prison guard led him through the iron gates and finally arrived at a so-called lawyer's meeting room.
In fact, it is an ordinary room that can be said to be very simple, and when you enter the door, you can see that the middle of the room is separated by an iron fence inside and outside, and there is a bench and a writing desk on the side of the lawyer's desk, and there is a dilapidated chair in the innermost position against the wall through the iron fence.
The sturdy female prison guard instructed Lin Xiuze and Xiao Ai to sit in the lawyer's interview chair, enter through the small door on the right side of the iron fence, and bring out the handcuffed suspect Lu Feifei through the narrow corridor inside.
Lu Feifei was ordered to sit on a seat against the wall.
Lin Xiuze looked at the woman about five meters away through the iron fence, she was almost sure that the old and tired woman opposite was a senior female student, Lin Xiuze had seen Lu Feifei's information before, although the photos on the information were not bright and moving, but the overall look was still refreshing and atmospheric, especially the eyes were radiant and flashing with a moving luster.
But now, the woman in front of her looked like she was thirty-five or sixteen, her eyes were sunken and her eyes were as if they were covered with a layer of gray, and her high protruding cheekbones were illuminated by the ceiling lamp of the meeting room, leaving her cheeks with a thick and gloomy black shadow, which made her look like a terminally ill and dying patient, and her thin and shriveled body hung diagonally on the seat like a burlap bag.
Lin Xiuze was very surprised, he looked at Lu Feifei in front of him blankly, and forgot to speak for a while, but Xiao Ai quietly poked his waist with his finger on the side, and he came back to his senses from the emptiness.
"Are you Lu Feifei?" Lin Xiuze asked suspiciously as he opened the outline of the questions prepared in advance.
"Yes. ”
"I am Lin Xiuze, a lawyer from the Yucheng Legal Aid Center, and I have been entrusted by the Yucheng People's Procuratorate to serve as your defense lawyer, do you have any objections to me serving as your defense lawyer?"
"Nope. Lu Feifei didn't even raise her head and replied dispensably.
"If you have no objection, please sign this power of attorney. Lin Xiuze followed the process.
Lu Feifei stood up, dragged her feet on the ground and walked slowly to the iron window.
Lin Xiuze handed over the power of attorney and pen through the gap, Lu Feifei took it and signed it, and then when she handed over the power of attorney, she seemed to raise her eyelids very hard and glanced at Lin Xiuze, and suddenly a glimmer of light surged in her eyes, as if she grabbed a life-saving straw at the moment she fell into the cliff.
