Chapter 9: Keep an eye on him
Beiping Police Department, the first section of the Criminal Investigation Department.
The homicide that happened in Rouge Hutong was reported here as soon as possible.
After briefly listening to the report of the case, Jian De's eyes rolled, and he immediately called Chu Mufeng.
"Mu Feng, now the second and third teams have cases in their hands, so I'll leave this case to you."
"Yes, Section Chief!" Chu Mufeng did not hesitate to receive the order directly.
If you want to climb up, in addition to the relationship, you also need credit, for him, what is the credit, it is naturally to solve the case!
"It's a murder." Jane Der knocked on the table and said solemnly.
"I understand!"
Chu Mufeng didn't seem to notice the other meaning revealed in Jian De's words, and turned around and beckoned a team of people to go to the police.
In the absence of captain Gu Benchang, Chu Mufeng is naturally the boss.
An order was given, and they were dispatched one after another.
The reason why everyone is so positive is very simple.
First, Chu Mufeng didn't care about Benchang's domineering posture, he spoke politely, and took the initiative to invite guests to drink, so everyone naturally couldn't afford to put on any old qualifications.
Second, seeing that Wang Gezhi, an honest person, knew that he was leaning towards Chu Mufeng, and he was also stained, they naturally had a plan in their hearts.
Anyway, they all follow behind, who doesn't want to follow a boss who has a head?
Rouge Alley.
When Chu Mufeng led the team over, he found that there were many people watching the excitement at the door of the house at the scene of the crime.
They pointed at the room, and their faces showed different expressions of surprise, regret, apprehension, and so on.
Seeing this scene, Chu Mufeng's face sank on the spot.
Do you still understand the rules of handling cases?
How do you get so many people here? Who's to blame if the scene is destroyed?
What's even more outrageous is that the police officers who rushed over first didn't even pull up the minimum cordon.
It's just nonsense.
"Wang Gezhi, disperse the crowd immediately."
"Pei Dong Factory, pull up the cordon and protect the scene."
"The rest of me went in."
"Yes!"
With Chu Mufeng's orders, a group of police officers behind him all performed their duties and moved.
For them, these are the basic procedures for handling cases, they were just too lazy to do it before, but now that Chu Mufeng is staring, who dares to play tricks in front of them.
Walking into the small courtyard, Chu Mufeng saw the few informants.
"Old Song, go, record a confession with them first!"
After explaining to Song Dabao, the oldest police officer in the team and already with gray hair, Chu Mufeng put on gloves and investigated the scene.
With years of experience in handling cases, he is convinced that no matter what the case, there will definitely be clues left at the scene, and as long as he observes carefully, he can always find clues.
It's a closed courtyard.
There is glass on all sides of the courtyard wall, and there is no sign of damage, which indicates that the murderer must have entered and exited through the gate, rather than climbing over the wall to commit the crime.
If you go over the wall, there will definitely be some traces left, Chu Mufeng looked around, and found nothing.
Walking into the back room, he saw at a glance the corpses piled up around the worm cage.
It is understood that the deceased's name is Qin Shuli, a researcher at a research institute in Beiping City.
It has always been more withdrawn and likes to be alone, so there are usually no neighbors who come to visit the door.
At this moment, this scholar who has no quarrel with the world fell in a pool of blood.
As for the gnats in those cages, they also seemed to be stimulated by the bloody qi, either vibrating their wings and screaming constantly, or constantly hitting the cages, and they couldn't be at peace for a moment.
The sound of grasshoppers echoing through the room, making people feel a little upset.
"Has anyone ever touched the scene?" Chu Mufeng asked as he glanced around.
"No, no!"
The patrol officer at the scene hurriedly followed and said: "After the people in the courtyard called the police, we rushed to the scene and drove out the people who were watching the excitement as soon as possible, except for the four of them, no one else has ever entered." ”
"Hmm."
Chu Mufeng nodded and began to examine it carefully.
The first object of observation is naturally the deceased Qin Shuli.
Squatting down and looking at the dead face in front of him, he thoughtfully picked up the cicada cage to the side.
Reaching out and gently pressing the deceased's jaw, it had already begun to form a stiff body.
Looking at the back of his hand again, light purple patches of various sizes had already emerged on it.
Chu Mufeng pressed it with his thumb, and the corpse spot disappeared, but he let go of his hand and reappeared.
Raising his hand and looking at the time, it was a quarter past 12 noon, and the time of the deceased's death was almost ten o'clock in the morning.
There were no signs of fighting, no strangulation marks on the neck, and no other bleeding wounds on the body.
At first facie, the fatal injury was supposed to have been an unsuspecting blow to the left side of the head.
Chu Mufeng, who already had a number in his heart, stood up and said lightly: "Let the forensic doctor come in for an autopsy." ”
For the medical examiner who was a heavy drinker, to be honest, he didn't have much hope.
After looking at the corpse, the kitchen door looked at the whole room again, and the two rows of bookshelves against the wall were full of books, and there were many bamboo worm cages and many glass bottles in the corners.
There was pen and ink on the old-fashioned long table, and a stack of letter paper, but there was something missing!
Chu Mufeng squinted, then picked up the diary-like booklet on the table and flipped through it.
At the same time, inside the yard.
The oppressive atmosphere made several of Uncle Qin's friends feel quite nervous, and they were uncomfortable looking at the police officers around them shouting.
It's a terrible feeling to be treated like a prisoner.
When they think of these black-hearted guys, who often like to bend into tricks, they are even more worried.
"The confessions have been recorded, why don't you let us go, you are violating human rights!"
"Yes, we reported the crime, not murderers, so why are we being detained?"
"We also feel very sad when Uncle Li died, but I feel very unwell now, I want to go back and rest, officer, let me go, okay?"
……
Hearing the noise outside, Chu Mufeng couldn't help frowning, and walked out after casually putting away the notebook.
His eyes swept over a few people, and he said in a cold tone: "What is the quarrel, your friend was killed, just let you assist in the investigation, you are full of complaints, is there still a little friendship?" ”
"This official, you can't say that, we don't know Uncle Qin very well, we were just invited by him for a light meal. Just like him, he is very slammering, and I also wanted to slaughter him before I came, who would have thought that I would encounter this kind of trouble. Li Tianhua, who was sweating profusely, stiffened his neck and said.
"That's right, sir, you can do it, let's go, we really have nothing to do with this."
"That's it, we're here for dinner, so why did we become suspects?"
"It's the police we called, and you still have to interrogate us repeatedly, do you handle the case like this?"
……
Is this the so-called limbo hanging?
Is this a typical state of the world, which is hot and cold, and people's hearts are cold?
Uncle Qin has nothing to do with you, and will invite you to come to the house for dinner?
Now that he sees that his bones are not cold, one by one he is impatient to clear up the relationship, for fear of getting into trouble, is this the attitude that a friend should have?
"Have a few of them finished recording their confessions?" Chu Mufeng raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.
"Captain, it's all recorded." Wang Gezhi stepped forward and replied.
"Any questions?" Chu Mufeng took the confession and flipped through it casually.
"It shouldn't be a problem." Wang Gezhi shook his head and said.
"Then let them sign and go!" Chu Mufeng closed his confession expressionlessly and waved his hand.
"Yes!"
Wang Gezhi responded, turned his head and said to the four people: "Our captain has spoken, come and sign and leave!" ”
"Yes, yes!"
Hearing this, the four of them came up to sign, and then left in a hurry.
It wasn't until they walked out of Rouge Alley that they slowed down.
Li Tianhua, who was the first to cry out just now, raised his head and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and said with palpitations.
"Alas, I didn't expect that an honest person like Lao Qin would be killed, it seems that this world is really getting more and more chaotic, I said brothers, let's be careful in the future, don't meet bad people and lose your life."
"Alas, people sitting at home can actually fly to cause trouble, it's really miserable!"
"That's right, forget it, let's leave quickly, lest I turn around and be called back by these officials."
"I don't want to go again, I get dizzy when I smell blood!"
"Come on, let's disperse, let's go home and settle down!"
After a sigh, the four of them went their separate ways.
When this kind of thing happens, where is the mood to eat and drink?
Returning his gaze to the scene of the crime in Rouge Hutong, Chu Mufeng beckoned, called Wang Gezhi to his side, pointed to a name on the confession, and said in a low voice.
"Lao Wang, you go follow this person now and see what he does!"
"Yes!"
Although Wang Gezhi felt a little strange, this was Chu Mufeng's order, and he just did it.
As for the others, looking at Chu Mufeng's calm face, they couldn't help but whisper.
"Do you think this murder case can be solved by Captain Chu?"
"I think it's quite suspenseful, there are no clues, I can't find any motive for the crime, how to break it, what to break it?"
"Yes, if he can solve this case, my old Song will be convinced."
……
Peiping Police Department.
After leaving the scene, after Chu Mufeng came back, he was called directly to the office by Jian De.
Looking at the upsetting young man in front of him, Jane De is still very good at home.
"Mu Feng, the hall just gave me a death order, asking to solve the case within a time limit, otherwise I don't know how those newspaper reporters will talk nonsense, which will make the people panic. What do you think? If you have three days, can you solve this case? Jane De put on a businesslike posture.
Lin Ruoming went to Nanjing on official business, and it was Jiande who had the final say in the past few days.
"Three days?"
Chu Mufeng squinted his eyes and looked at Jian De with a little doubt.
He knew that Jian De was Gu Benchang's backstage, and he had heard some rumors in the past few days, saying that he was a hairy boy with no ability, and it was purely lucky.
But Chu Mufeng didn't care.
Whether you have the ability or not, you don't just say it with your mouth, you have to do it with real skills!
However, it is not uncommon for a murder case like this, which has no obvious motive in the hall, not to mention three days, even if it has been shelved for three months, or even unsolved for three years.
You Jian De came up and directly set such a deadline for me, do you want to set me up?
And when it comes to newspapers, this is a two-pronged approach!
When I Chu Mufeng is really a fledgling, is it easy to bully?
