Chapter II: A Deceptively Simple Case

Hearing Liu Xia's words, everyone at the scene, including Lu Yanfeng, was shocked, and everyone turned their eyes to Liu Xia, wondering why he said that?

"What are you doing?" Lu Yanfeng looked at Liu Xia with a slightly unhappy expression.

"Xiao Liu, how can you speak here, let me stay aside," Seeing Lu Yanfeng's unhappy face, Chen Qingzao reprimanded Liu Xia, and then explained to Lu Yanfeng with a smile: "Team Lu, he is an auxiliary police officer I recruited some time ago, don't be like him." ”

"It turned out to be a temporary worker. Glancing at Liu Xia with a sneer, Lu Yanfeng no longer paid attention to Liu Xia.

"This police officer, what you just said is true? Is my son really murdered?" Hearing Liu Xia's words, Dong Fugui and his wife looked at Liu Xia excitedly.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, the forensic doctor has already said just now that Dong Luyou was suffocated by drowning, and he was not murdered at all. After explaining to Dong Fugui and his wife, Lu Yanfeng frowned and glanced at Liu Xu: "If you don't understand, then shut up and don't talk nonsense, is this kind of thing something that you should be involved in as an assistant policeman?"

"I'm just seeking truth from facts, so there's no nonsense. The protest refuted Lu Yanfeng, and seeing that Dong Fugui and his wife were still staring at him, Liu Xia hesitated for a moment and said in public: "I think Dong Luyou died of murder." ”

"Really------ really?" After hearing this, Dong Fugui looked at Liu Xia with a surprised expression, and at this moment, his wife suddenly knelt in front of Liu Xia with a "poof": "Comrade police, you have to help my son avenge his grievances, I can't let my son's death be unclear, please help my son get justice." ”

Seeing that the case was about to be closed at the end of the case, he was made extraneous by Liu Xia's two sentences, Lu Yanfeng was angry and hated Liu Xia, looking at Dong Fugui's wife who was kneeling on the ground, Lu Yanfeng pointed at Liu Xia angrily: "He said that your son died of murder, you go to him." ”

Hearing Lu Yanfeng say this, Dong Fugui's wife knelt down and crawled in front of Liu Xia, begging him to help his son get justice, seeing that Lu Yanfeng pointed the finger at his side, Liu Xia helped her up, calmed the emotions of Dong Fugui and his wife, and then walked to the side of the corpse, squatted down and looked at the corpse.

The corpse was empty at this time, the whole body was naked, because of the soaking in water, the corpse was swollen, Liu Xia did not know the knowledge of autopsy, so he could only observe the surface of the corpse, the expression of the deceased was not abnormal, there were many curly beards on the chin and neck, and the fingernails had not been trimmed for a long time, and there was a lot of dirt in them.

To tell the truth, Liu Xia is actually very afraid of the corpse, and is also very afraid of the corpse, if he didn't want to avenge the deceased, he really didn't want to get so close to the corpse, carefully studied the corpse, Liu Xia observed the clothes on the shore again, the clothes were stacked very neatly, folded square, very neat.

Looking at the corpse and the clothes on the shore, Liu Xia thought for a while, and then he pointed to the pile of clothes on the shore and said: "These clothes are very shabby and have a lot of dirt, but these clothes are folded very neatly, which is very wrong." ”

"Clothes neatly folded show that the deceased is careful, what's there to wonder about? Isn't it normal to take off your clothes and fold them neatly when you go into the water?" Lu Yanfeng looked at Liu Xia with disdain.

"It's not normal. Refuting Lu Yanfeng's words, Liu Xia pointed to the neatly stacked clothes: "People do take off their clothes and fold them aside before they go into the water, but they are all folded a few times casually, who will fold the clothes so neatly? This is almost catching up with the tofu block, unless the deceased has been a soldier."

The beard on the deceased's face was curly, his skin was greasy, his fingernails and toenails had not been trimmed for a long time, his clothes had many oil stains and stains on his upper body, and there were many open lines on the crotch of his trousers.

From these few details, it can be judged that the deceased should have been a sloppy person who did not pay attention to his image before his death, and a person who didn't even bother to sew the threads of his pants, would he fold his clothes like this?"

"But the forensic doctor has already identified that the deceased was indeed suffocated by drowning, and there was no external injury, how do you explain this?" Lu Yanfeng asked.

"I can't tell. Liu Xia shook his head suspiciously: "Maybe ----- this is not the first scene, right?"

Just when Liu Xia was puzzled, the deceased's mother stood up: "Yes, yes, my son has some mental problems, he is usually very sloppy, and his clothes and pants are thrown away after they are dirty, he can't wash his clothes until now, let alone fold clothes, these clothes are definitely not folded by him." ”

"Is that so?" After listening to the words of the deceased's mother, Lu Yanfeng frowned slightly, and seeing that the people at the scene were staring at him, he groaned slightly: "Forensic doctor, can you find out the time of death of the deceased without autographing the corpse?"

"I can give it a try. With that, the medical examiner returned to the body for an autopsy.

When the forensic doctor re-examined the autopsy, Lu Yanfeng turned his head to Liu Xia and looked at him with a complicated expression: "In addition to the clothes, what other flaws do you see?"

"In fact, the biggest flaw is the power outage?" Liu Xia said thoughtfully.

"What does the power outage mean?" Lu Yanfei was a little puzzled.

"Just before I received Dong Fugui's report, there was a sudden power outage at the police station and the dam, which I think should not be a coincidence. Speaking of this, seeing that Lu Yanfeng's face was still a little dazed, Liu Xia explained:

"As you know, the high-intensity lights around the dam are on all night, and there are monitors on both sides of the road in and out of the dam, because of the dam, there are very few power outages here throughout the year, and even if there is a power outage, the substation will notify you in advance.

But just now, there was a power outage here for no reason, and I guess it was someone who did something in the shadows, and the other party was worried that some of their actions would be discovered, or they were afraid of being filmed by the surveillance, so they stopped the power of the entire dam.

Although the monitoring probes and lights were all useless after the power outage, we were able to watch the stored video content. The deceased left home this afternoon, and after the power is restored later, let's check the monitoring replay.

This south gate is a high-risk area for drowning accidents, and in order to prevent people from coming here to swim and fish, the Water Conservancy Bureau has strengthened the isolation device around it, and we are also constantly patrolling, so it is impossible for ordinary people to swim here on bicycles.

Let's open the monitoring platform later, read today's surveillance video, and see when the deceased appeared in the reservoir, how did he get to the reservoir, and how did the water fall? Everything can be revealed. ”

"What if there is no picture of the deceased in the video?" Chen Qingzao asked.

"That means that the deceased did not drown from here, but was moved by someone later. Liu Xia said lightly.

After listening to Liu Xia's reasoning, Lu Yanfeng immediately sent someone to check the line, and after a while, the criminal investigation team members really found a problem from the transformer, and the electric switch in the transformer box was turned off, which led to a power outage in the entire reservoir and dam.

After the power was restored, Lu Yanfeng arranged for someone to check the monitoring around the reservoir, and when the criminal investigation team members checked all the monitoring around the reservoir, they did not find the video of the deceased entering the reservoir.

The monitoring showed that as of 1:13 a.m., there was no abnormality in the south gate area, but when the power was restored at 1:43 a.m. and 41 seconds, the deceased's clothes suddenly appeared at the south gate of the reservoir, which was full of suspicions.

At the same time, the forensic identification results also came out, Dong Luyou's body was covered with dense corpse spots, some of which had condensed into pieces, and the forensic doctor judged that Dong Luyou's death time had exceeded five hours, that is, around 20 o'clock at night, according to the area and color of the corpse spots.

However, in the surveillance screen above the dam of the reservoir, from 20 o'clock in the evening to 1 o'clock in the morning, the deceased did not appear at the scene of the crime at all, and there were no clothes on the shore, so it can be seen that the south gate of the reservoir was not the first scene of this case, and the deceased was transferred by the murderer, and the murderer was among the relatives at the scene.

After summarizing the investigation results of the team members, Lu Yanfeng took out a handbook and recorded all the details and doubts, he secretly observed Liu Xia when he was recording, and looked at the confident expression on Liu Xia's face, his brows gradually wrinkled into a "Sichuan" word.

Putting away the manual, Lu Yanfeng discussed the case with the team members, and now it is certain that the reservoir dam is the second scene where the body was moved by the murderer, and the murderer of Dong Luyou is hidden among the relatives at the scene.

Subsequently, Lu Yanfeng issued three orders: first, to immediately investigate and interrogate the relatives of the deceased at the scene, second, to order Chen Qingzao to immediately dismiss Liu Xia, and third, to report to the leaders of the county bureau in the name of the criminal police team, and the criminal police team to solve a suspected murder case tonight.

Hearing Lu Yanfeng's order, the people at the police station were all stunned, Liu Xia was directly stunned, and Chen Qingzao looked at Lu Yanfeng with some doubts: "Dismiss Liu Xia-----?"

"No, why? It's an order. After speaking, Lu Yanfeng turned around and went to arrange an investigation and interrogation.

Looking at Lu Yanfeng's back, Chen Qingzao still wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he sighed and shook his head, and then, Chen Qingzao walked up to Liu Xia, and he said softly: "Alas---- Xiao Liu, I asked you to say a few words just now, but you didn't listen, now you are in trouble." ”

"Director, I helped him point out the flaws in the case and found out a murder case, even if he doesn't thank me, he won't let you quit me. Seeing this result, Liu Xia was also stunned.

"It was because you helped him point out the flaws in the case that he wanted to fire you. Seeing that Liu Xia still didn't understand, Chen Qingzao explained in a low voice: "As the deputy captain of the team, he didn't see the flaws in the case, but one of your temporary auxiliary police officers found a suspicious point, you stole his limelight, do you say he can feel comfortable?"

If you are a regular police officer, after all, the regular police have received professional criminal investigation knowledge training, but as a temporary worker, you have found a suspicious point that the deputy captain of the criminal police team did not find, if this matter reaches the ears of the leader, the leader will definitely question his ability, and his future will be affected.

Do you know that Deputy Captain Lu is not a professional criminal investigator, he is a demobilized cadre in the army, and he is a halfway monk, he used to work in the county bureau national security brigade, in charge of causing accidents and causing mental patients, dealing with neuropathy all day long, and after a long time, he also became a little neurotic.

Before he changed jobs, he seemed to be the person in charge of an important post in the army, and it is said that he was transferred back to his hometown because he made a mistake, although his personality was withdrawn and he was brainless, but his relationship network was very hard, and someone covered him above.

Although he was transferred to the criminal police brigade and served as the deputy captain, he had no ability, for so long, not a single case had been solved, and the members of the same squad with him were all full of complaints, according to rumors, the leaders of the county bureau were preparing to change his position and kick him out of the criminal police brigade.

Therefore, in order to protect his reputation and future, he can only ask me to dismiss you, because in this way, tonight's case will become his detection, this case is so simple, it is easy to detect, and when he finds out the murderer and detains the case, he can go to the bureau to receive merit, and lead the team to solve a murder case, no matter what, he can get a second-class merit. ”

"Director, I found the suspicions in this case, if I hadn't pointed out the suspicions, he would have asked his family to take the body away for burial, you have seen all this, don't you -----" Liu Xia looked at Chen Qingzao in disbelief.

"I know it's not fair to you, but I can't help it, he's my superior now, after all. Speaking of this, Chen Qingzao patted Liu Xia on the shoulder: "Xiao Liu, these are the rules, you will understand it in the future." ”
