Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Word Stirs Up a Thousand Waves
"Take her to the scene with me, and the person who reported the crime, and the rest of the people stay here." Su Chengyi commanded the two police officers beside him.
Xiao Shaoqing and Xueluo finished breakfast, and just as they were about to go out, the serious male voice said again, "From now on, no one in the villa is allowed to go out, and each of you is suspected of murder." Su Chengyi's words fell into the hearts of everyone and caused a lot of ripples.
There was actually a murderer among them, and everyone looked at each other, consciously distancing themselves from the people around them, as if they would be safe.
"Shaoqing, can't we go out too?" Xueluo grabbed Xiao Shaoqing's arm and asked, today they are planning to try on the wedding dress, but they can't be delayed.
"Officer Su, don't come unharmed." Xiao Shaoqing took Xueluo's hand and walked forward, and the servants around him consciously gave way to the way, and one by two looked at Xiao Shaoqing and Xueluo with trepidation and shouted, "Young master, miss." ”
"Don't be afraid, with Officer Su here, we will definitely find the murderer for us." Xiao Shaoqing's cold voice came into their ears, and everyone's eyes turned to him for a while.
Su Chengyi smiled and said, "President Xiao Da is going out with a beautiful woman?" I'm afraid I'll have to wronged you and stay in the villa for the time being, and we won't be able to let you go until we're done dealing with things. ”
"Of course." Xiao Shaoqing said cooperatively. swept the door and said to Xueluo, "Luo'er, follow me to the study to deal with official business." ”
Xueluo nodded, followed Xiao Shaoqing upstairs again, and when he walked to the corner of the stairs, he glanced at the police officers at the door, his eyes stayed on Su Chengyi for a moment, and he couldn't help but speed up the pace of his feet.
Su Chengyi left four or five police officers to guard in the front hall, took two assistants and a person who was also a criminal investigator, and followed Xia Chun and the old housekeeper to the backyard.
Gu Tingcheng and the other servants were all guarding the door of the hall, waiting anxiously.
"Why didn't you see Aunt Mei?" Suddenly, someone asked.
"yes. Why isn't Aunt Mei here? I saw her when I got up in the morning. Another voice said.
"Is it ••••••?" said a servant.
Everyone suddenly had a bad premonition in their hearts, could it be that it was Aunt Mei who had an accident?
"Everyone, stop talking nonsense there, maybe Aunt Mei is working there."
"That's it, that's it." One chimed in, "I'll talk about it when they come." ”
Gu Tingcheng listened to everyone's conversation, his eyes couldn't help but look in the direction of the backyard, and he thought to himself, who was so bold to kill people in the villa.
In the backyard, Xia Chun led Su Chengyi and his party to the place where the body was found. Xia Chun pointed to the location of an old locust tree and said, "The corpse is behind the tree." After saying that, he timidly retreated behind the old butler.
Su Chengyi looked at the big locust tree in front of him, with thick branches and lush foliage, it should be another hundred years of growth age.
The trunk of the tree obscured everyone's sight, Su Chengyi and another criminal investigator walked behind the big tree, and sure enough, they saw a female corpse lying on the ground, and a few leaves fell from the tree on the corpse. It is a female corpse, about 1.5 meters tall by sight, medium stature, with long hair, head down, lying on the ground, wearing clothes of the same color as Xia Chun, and the style is somewhat similar.
Inevitably, the scene was destroyed, and the people around Su Chengyi shouted, "The others stepped back, and Xiao Ye put a guard five meters away." Xiao Ye was one of the assistants brought by Su Chengyi, and the other assistant immediately picked up the law enforcement recorder and took a picture, and beckoned the old housekeeper and Xia Chun to the side.
"Zhang Jin, have you made a record?" Su Chengyi said to the subordinates beside him.
"Alright, Sergeant Su." Zhang Jin nodded and said, putting the camera away.
"Turn the body over and let them recognize it." Su Chengyi said to Zhang Jin.
Zhang Jin took out a pair of special rubber gloves and handed them to Su Chengyi, and he wore a pair himself, and the two of them held the corpse's shoulders and turned the female corpse over. The corpse's face was fully revealed. She was a woman in her forties, and the logo on the chest of her clothes was the same as that on the maid in the villa.
"Which of you will identify the deceased?" Zhang Jin asked the old housekeeper and Xia Chun standing behind the tree. Su Chengyi squatted down and carefully examined the traces on the deceased's body in order to determine the cause of the deceased's death.
Behind the old locust tree, Xia Chun didn't dare to step forward again, so he said to the old housekeeper, "Steward Wang, you should go." ”
"Hey." The old butler sighed, stepped forward, looked at the familiar face of the corpse, and said with shocked eyes, "Isn't this Aunt Mei who serves Miss Xueluo?" ”
"You're sure she's the maid in your villa." Su Chengyi asked.
The old housekeeper nodded affirmatively, but he didn't expect that the person who died turned out to be Aunt Mei. Although Aunt Mei usually relies on Miss Xueluo's support, she basically doesn't take the other servants in this villa seriously, but she doesn't have too much hatred with anyone, who killed her. The old butler was really puzzled.
"What do you say the name of the deceased? Do you have all her information? Zhang Jin asked.
"She is a maid in the villa, I am old with the specific name, but I can't remember so much, everyone calls her Aunt Mei, and her information is here when she is employed, I will go and get it for you." The old butler replied truthfully, sighing in his heart.
"Okay, you as soon as possible." Zhang Jin said.
"Wait." Su Chengying's serious voice sounded, "Does she have any physical illness that is sudden, such as heart disease or something?" ”
The old housekeeper who was about to leave heard the question, shook his head without hesitation and said, "Those who come to our villa to be servants have all undergone physical examinations and will be hired if they are healthy, and everyone is healthy, and there are no sudden diseases." ”
"Alright, there you go." Su Chengyi waved his hand to the old butler and said. Suddenly frowned, a puzzle flashed on her tough and handsome face, there were no scars on the surface of the female corpse, the corpse was not completely stiff, and the nails were very clean, without any scratching debris. Seeing that her mouth was slightly open, the expression on her face seemed to be a little shocked, her cheeks were still red, her lips were a little purple, and there seemed to be a little residual heat on her skin, indicating that the blood had not completely coagulated, obviously not long after she died, it should not be more than an hour.
"How did you find her?" Su Chengyi suddenly asked Xia Chun.
"I walked this way, I didn't know what I tripped over, and I fell into this forest, and when I got up, I touched a soft thing in my hand, and I was startled, and I stood up and saw that there was a person lying behind the tree. I screamed and ran away. Xia Chun recalled the situation when he found the corpse, and he was really scared.
Su Chengyi's eyes sank, if she didn't die of a sudden illness, then as the old housekeeper said, a healthy woman about forty years old would definitely not have died for such a plain reason, so what was the cause of her death?
"Zhang Jin, bring me the magnifying glass." Su Chengyi suddenly thought of the magnifying glass that made a great contribution to solving the case last time, maybe it can come in handy this time.
"Yes." Zhang Jin took out a magnifying glass from the toolkit, handed it to Su Chengyi, and squatted next to him to look at it, this is the first time he has handled a case with an internationally famous criminal investigation detective, so why do you have to steal some skin.
Su Chengyi carefully searched the magnifying glass on the corpse, especially the potentially fatal places on the neck, and did not let go of even a small pore.
Zhang Jin squatted beside him, and also watched Su Chengyi operate everything with a nervous expression. He saw that there were no injuries on the female corpse, and he didn't understand what Su Chengyi was looking for.
Under the magnifying glass, every pore on the deceased's skin and the subtle things stuck to the skin are clearly visible, Su Chengyi helped the deceased's stamina to search, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and a small needle eye was found on the back of the neck, where it met with the hair. There was a little dark red blood around the eye of the needle, which was difficult to detect with the naked eye.
Zhang Jin saw that Su Chengyi stopped what he was doing, could it be that he had found something, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Did you find anything?"
"Look." Su Chengyi said to Zhang Jin and motioned for him to come over. Zhang Jin looked at the small needle eye under the magnifying glass, and his heart was suddenly surprised, could it be that such a tiny wound was fatal?
Looking at the confusion in Zhang Jin's eyes, Su Chengyi smiled and said, "The deceased should have died of poisoning." You see her lips are purple, it's not caused by disease, it must be poisoned. ”
Zhang Jin looked at the female corpse, and sure enough, as Su Chengyi said, he was in awe of him even more.
"Now we need to dissect the cadaver to get the final confirmation." Su Chengyi got up and said, "Notify the forensic department to transport the body." ”
"Yes." Zhang Jin said respectfully, took out the walkie-talkie and contacted the police station.
"This is a homicide case, all the people in the villa are suspected, and everyone is brought back to the police station for interrogation." Su Chengyi ordered, a deep smile in his eyes. Last time, he couldn't interfere in Xiao Shaoqing's matter, this time, he didn't want to escape.
The old housekeeper happened to come over with the archives, and when he heard Su Chengyi's words, his face suddenly became solemn, his steps suddenly became vigorous, and he stepped forward in a few steps and asked, "Officer, do you want to take all of them with more than a dozen people in our villa?" There are also about a dozen guards and drivers. ”
"That's right, your young master and that young lady also ask the old housekeeper to report and record a statement with us at the police station." Su Chengying said lightly, and several other subordinates investigated the scene again, but did not find other useful clues, so they had to give up and wait for the people from the forensic department in place.
After a short time, the car of the forensic department drove to the villa, and several staff carried the body into the car. Isn't it Aunt May? "It's been a while, and the servants in the villa have gathered, except for Aunt Mei.
