Chapter 10: The Strange Case of the Bell Tower (4)
The home of the deceased Qin Wenyuan is in a community in Jiangnan New District, and this community happens to be developed and built by Wansen Group.
When I came to the community, I found that the security measures here are very perfect, outsiders need to register to enter, and there is surveillance coverage all the way from the gate to the building where the deceased lived. I wondered, with such good security measures, why did there still happen to theft? And it was the Qin Wenyuan family who had just died who stole it?
The deceased's home was on the 17th floor, and when I entered the scene of the theft and saw this mess, I was even more puzzled.
I asked Lao Lu, who arrived at the scene before me: "Who called the police?" ”
Lao Lu pointed to the old man with a cloudy face on the side and said: "It's the father of the deceased, he originally came to sort out his son's relics today, and as soon as he arrived here, he found that it was stolen and immediately called the police." ”
I asked again, "Do you know what was stolen?" ”
Lao Lu shook his head and said, "The two owners of the house have passed away, and it is difficult to determine what has been stolen. ”
I went on to ask, "Did you check the surveillance?" ”
Lao Lu said: "The property said that the electricity was out for a few hours last night, and the monitoring also failed during that time. ”
When I heard this, I frowned and said, "I'll go inside and have a look." Lao Lu nodded and said, "You pay attention, don't destroy the scene." ”
The whole scene was full of strong smell of wine, because there were several bottles of precious foreign wine on the wine shelf broken on the marble floor, only the dining room at the door was marble floor, and the living room in front was a wooden floor.
I cautiously stepped away from the puddle of wine, which was deliberately smashed by a man judging by the spills around it and the extent to which the bottle was broken. However, this deliberate move left an obvious evidence, that is, footprints. It can be seen from the mutilated footprints left by the perpetrator because he trampled on the liquor that there were two people who entered the scene of the crime and stole it.
One of the footprints was large and clear, I measured it with a tape measure that I carried with me, the footprints were 30.8 centimeters long and 75.3 centimeters in stride distance, and based on what I knew about the science of footprints, it was clear that this was a footprint left by a man over 180 centimeters tall.
There is also a smaller footprint, 25.3 cm long, but this footprint is only a footprint of a left foot, and it is impossible to measure the length of the stride, so it is difficult for me to tell whether it is a woman's footprint or a short man's footprint. I thought that maybe a footprint expert could help me answer this doubt, so I shouted to Lao Lu: "Lao Lu, I found a few footprints, you can notify the footprint expert to identify them." ”
Lao Lu responded: "Okay, I'll contact you immediately." ”
Walked through the dining room and entered the living room, the sofa cushion in the living room was lifted and thrown on the ground, the LCD TV screen was smashed, the TV box was also ripped and thrown on the ground, the fruit plate and ashtray on the coffee table were also knocked over to the ground, and even the trash can next to the coffee table was kicked over.
However, this messy living room still made me discover a detail, that is, there is a mobile socket on the side of the coffee table in the living room that is connected from the fixed socket in the corner. What is this socket used for?
Entering the master bedroom from the living room, the master bedroom is also messy, the door of the wardrobe is wide open, the clothes are scattered on the ground and the bed, and the bookshelf-style computer desk, not only the books are deliberately taken down and thrown to the ground, but also the desktop computer host falls to the ground and is smashed to pieces.
My eyes were focused on the smashed computer, which had obviously been stomped on by someone, and the damage was quite severe, not like a few random steps.
I checked several drawers of my computer desk and found that there was a noticeable flip in the drawers, but I didn't know what had been stolen from the drawers.
I looked at the closet again, and the drawers in the closet had been pried open, and there were some documents and other things in the drawer, which were also very messy, but I couldn't tell what had been stolen.
From all this, there is no doubt about theft, but simple theft will not destroy the burglar's house, so what is the purpose of doing so?
With this in mind, I checked the remaining two bedrooms and found that one of the two bedrooms was supposed to be used as a guest room and the other as a storage room, and there were no signs of smashing or theft in either bedroom.
In the storage room, I found a laptop box on a wooden cabinet that was already covered with dust.
This box suddenly made me think of something, so I went to the coffee table in the living room again, looked at the mobile socket I found earlier, and then looked at the scratches on the surface of the coffee table, and the edges and corners of the storage compartment under the coffee table. I made this inference that there used to be a laptop on this coffee table.
First, the laptop box proves that the owner has a laptop; Second, the mobile socket proves that the socket has the possibility of connecting to the laptop's power supply; Third, the slight scratches on the surface of the coffee table, there is a piece in the middle that is obviously less than the one next to it, which proves that something has been placed here, and the scratches on the edges and corners of the coffee table storage compartment prove that there are often people sitting in this position, and because of the unintentional touch and friction of the sole, the scratches on the edges and corners of this place are obvious.
Then I make a further inference, if there is a laptop, is it stolen or was the owner taken it before?
Let's say it's stolen, so I'll make a bold guess. The owner of the house is the deceased who has just been murdered, and the deceased's family lived in a well-secured community, but it was stolen on the night of the power outage.
First of all, I assume that the deceased was in possession of something, such as expensive jewelry, incriminating evidence, etc., and was killed. And the perpetrator of the murder had to get what the deceased had after extinguishing the mouth, so he committed the theft. If something valuable is stolen from the home, then it may be for wealth, and if the laptop is stolen, it is possible that there is some unsightly evidence stored in the laptop, so the nature of the crime is different.
Second, why did the theft happen shortly after the death of the deceased, and on the night when the power outage caused the surveillance to fail? Who could possibly turn this from a coincidence to a premeditated one? Who is likely to commit such a crime? Then I boldly assume that the one who can do all this is the CEO of Wansheng Group, Wang Weisen, who has both financial resources and power. Wang Weisen has strong financial resources and can fully buy murder; He is also the developer of the complex and controls the operation of the property, so it is entirely possible that he will cut off the power and hire someone to steal it.
Finally, if the hypothesis is true, then the purpose of the theft could be shifted from the pursuit of wealth to another possibility, which I cannot be sure of for the time being.
So back to the scene of the theft, if my previous assumptions are true, then the scene of the theft was smashed. All of this is to disguise one thing, that is, to cover up the smashing of the desktop computer in the master bedroom.
Thinking of this, I shouted to Lao Lu: "Lao Lu, you come in." ”
Lao Lu entered the master bedroom with me, and I pointed to the smashed desktop computer host and said, "Lao Lu, can the technical department fix this computer?" ”
Lao Lu looked at the smashed computer and said, "Try it!" ”
I said, "If it's repaired and all the documents inside, maybe we'll find a connection between the murder and the theft." I have some conjectures about these two cases right now, but I know they are a bit ridiculous to you, so I'll investigate them myself. ”
Lao Lu looked at the broken computer and said, "Okay, the computer is repaired, I'll notify you as soon as possible." ”
I added: "It is very likely that the property in this theft was also involved in the community, although it is only my hypothesis, but you can follow the direction of this investigation." The perpetrators preliminarily concluded that there were two people, one of whom was a man over 180 cm tall, and the other person I could not determine for the time being. Have you informed the footprint specialists? ”
Lao Lu said: "It's already on the way." ”
I said, "This theft is likely to be a breakthrough in the Bell Tower murder case, and I believe it is not a simple theft." If you find the thief, you will probably be able to find out the big tiger behind the scenes. ”
Lao Lu said: "Well, Ouyang, I think the same as you. ”
I said: "For the murder case of the Xishan Bell Tower, I have sorted out three investigation directions, and the previous murder caused by emotional reasons can be ruled out." First, a health club with the same hoodie as the killer, this clue is a gamble and a psychological game with criminals, perhaps this direction will end up wasting time and manpower, but it is also possible that unexpected findings may occur. ”
Lao Lu nodded and said, "Xiao Liu has already investigated in the whole district." ”
I said, "Second, this theft, as I said earlier, the direction of the investigation must be directed at the property in the community. And the third point, I will follow up immediately, after you repair the deceased's desktop computer, you may be able to understand the direction of my third point of investigation. ”
Lao Lu smiled slightly: "Wansen Group." ”
I was stunned for a moment and smiled: "Hehe, old fox, you are still so quiet." ”
Lao Lu said: "It's you who underestimate my old classmate." ”
I still responded with a smile, because I have never underestimated this people's policeman who has been a police officer for more than 20 years and has solved countless strange cases.
Lao Lu continued: "We are all guessing on this third point, I know that your approach is to follow up immediately, and my approach is to find out the connection between the first and second points and the third point, so that I can be 100% sure to investigate the suspect and not be beaten back by that kind of powerful person." ”
I smiled and said, "Brother, steady! In this case, I can't break the rhythm of the police, anyway, today Tang Zhenguo went to accompany his daughter, so I will take half a day to relax, because there is no time to set off any turbulent waves behind this case, without Tang Zhenguo, a strong bodyguard by his side, I always feel unsteady, haha. ”
Lao Lu wiped his nose, frowned and said, "You don't have to be idle, you can solve this theft case with me first." Also, your bodyguard is not simple, I investigated, there was a homicide a year ago, but it was manslaughter, and in the end there was no sentence, he ......"
"Needless to say, I know that his case, I think it is an unsolved case, and I will investigate it when I have time." I interrupted Lao Lu's words and said.
Lao Lu nodded, and at this time, his mobile phone rang, and it was the footprint identification expert who arrived.
