Chapter 41: Love that Cannot See the Light

On the way to the police station, Qin Jinjun sat in the passenger seat, she opened the transparent jar in the evidence bag, and took out the contents to check. The jar was filled with small notes the thickness of a finger, of different colors and each slightly curled, as if it had been rolled up. Although the jars are not large, they are filled with notes, and there are hundreds of them.

Lan Jingguo, who was in the driver's seat, peeked at Qin Jinjun out of the corner of his eye while driving.

"If you want me to help you find the witch who made the poisoned apple, let me concentrate on driving, I don't want to die in a car accident with you, shame!" Qin Jinjun didn't raise his head.

Lan Jingguo had no choice but to drive wholeheartedly.

Qin Jinjun used his gloved hand to take out the notes in the jar one by one like a lottery and check them out:

On September 1st, a new month begins, and I wish you a smooth and prosperous month.

August 29th, tomorrow is the weekend, I want to meet you immediately, waiting for you.

On June 1st, my girl, I wish you a happy Children's Day.

......

After looking at several more photos, Qin Jinjun's brows furrowed, she covered the jar, closed the evidence bag and put it on her lap, and looked out the window and pondered for a moment.

"Such important evidence can be omitted, are you people's police worthy of the hard-earned money of the working people?" Qin Jinjun said suddenly.

"This is the responsibility of the forensic department, don't overturn a boatload of people with a rod." Lan Jing's Chinese tone was a little angry.

Qin Jinjun snorted coldly, looked out the window and stopped talking.

The atmosphere in the car was silent for a moment, and Lan Jingguo couldn't help but ask, "What clues does this missing important evidence provide?" Tell me about it. ”

"The first deceased had a lover." Qin Jinjun replied lightly.

The car was parked in the parking lot in front of the police station, Lan Jingguo led Qin Jinjun into the huge police station, and the little police officers who were busy coming and going on the first floor took the time to greet him when they saw Lan Jingguo, with a respectful attitude. Walking into the elevator, Lan Jingguo pressed the button on the 17th floor. stopped a few floors halfway, and most of the people who came in would greet Lan Jingguo, which showed that he had a great reputation in the police station.

The elevator stops at the Criminal Investigation Division on the 17th floor, most of the police on this floor do not wear police uniforms, it should be considered that it is easier for criminal police to wear civilian clothes, so it looks similar to an ordinary office.

After getting out of the elevator, Lan Jingguo took Qin Jinjun directly to an independent office. He sat down at his desk, turned on the computer, and asked Qin Jinjun, "Do you want to drink tea or coffee?" ”

Qin Jinjun sat on the office chair opposite him very familiarly, spinning around the office chair like a child, and asked with a smile: "Is it better to drink tea or coffee in the police station?" ”

"It doesn't taste good." Lan Jingguo replied truthfully.

"Then I want plain water." The more Qin Jinjun played, the more energetic he became, and a cheerful laugh came out of his mouth.

Lan Jingguo shook his head helplessly, picked up the landline and took it outside.

"Xiao Fan, pour a glass of boiled water and bring it in." Lan Jingguo ordered, then put the phone back.

"Don't make a fuss, tell me how you came up with that clue." Lan Jingguo looked at the screen and said to Qin Jinjun.

Qin Jinjun played for a while before stopping, put the evidence on the table, and then pushed it in front of Lan Jingguo, and said, "See for yourself." ”

Pulling open the drawer, Lan Jingguo took out a glove and put it on, opened the evidence bag, lifted the lid, took out the note inside, put it back after reading one, and took out another one, the more he looked at it, the more his brows furrowed. It wasn't until the sixth that he closed the jar, closed the bag, and slowly stretched his brows, the expression on his face was not joyful.

There was a knock at the door.

"Come in." Lan Jingguo said lightly.

A chubby plainclothes police officer opened the door and entered, holding a disposable paper cup in his hand. Put the paper cup in front of Qin Jinjun, and it contained two-thirds of the slightly steaming drinking water.

"Well, thank you Xiao Fan, let's go out first." Lan Jingguo said lightly.

After Xiao Fan left, Lan Jingguo said to Qin Jinjun: "This is a very important clue, the deceased concealed that her husband had a lover outside, so the possibility of love murder cannot be ruled out." According to this clue, the two murders may not be related, the connection between the two deceased may just be a coincidence, and what we need to track down now may be two murderers, one is vendetta and the other is love killing. ”

"Not necessarily, this may just be a clue, don't rush to overturn the previous conclusions. Put this aside for a moment and show me the surveillance. Qin Jinjun pointed to the computer screen and said.

"Did you watch the video from the day of the crime?" Lan Jingguo asked as he moved the computer screen to an angle that could be seen by both of them.

"Hmm." Qin Jinjun moved the chair forward slightly, trying to get as close to the screen as possible. She has mild myopia, but she doesn't like to wear glasses, and it's inexplicable to say why. She said that she likes the blurred world, and she doesn't need to see everything too clearly.

The footage began at 8:30 a.m., and everyone in the office returned to work except for the boss and technician.

"Employees haven't left the office except for lunch breaks, do you want to speed up this segment?" Lan Jingguo asked.

"Quadruple the speed." Qin Jinjun replied.

It wasn't until 12:00 that the deceased got up and walked out of the office, and about six or seven minutes later she came back with an extra red apple in her hand, presumably the poisonous apple.

"Stop!" Qin Jinjun suddenly shouted.

Lan Jingguo hurriedly paused the video.

"Go back a bit." Qin Jinjun said eagerly.

Lan Jingguo did so, and when the video was played to the position just now, Qin Jinjun shouted to stop again, and said again, rewind it, and repeat it several times. At the point where she shouted to stop on the ninth play, she burst into a maniacal laugh. After getting along in the morning, Lan Jingguo was already miraculously surprised by Qin Jinjun's sometimes crazy behavior, and he quietly waited for her to finish her madness.

Sure enough, Qin Jinjun calmed down after a while, asked Lan Jingguo to rewind the video a little more and began to explain to him: "You carefully watch her movements and expressions when she holds the apple. ”

In the video, the deceased walks into the office holding a red apple wrapped in a fruit foam mesh sleeve in her left hand, and then she raises her right hand, pinching the stalk above the apple with two fingers, and then walks back to her seat in this motion.

After reading it, Lan Jingguo looked at Qin Jinjun with a puzzled expression, which caused Qin Jinjun to ridicule for a while, rewind the video again, and repeated it several times, but he still didn't see the reason, which made Qin Jinjun jump to his feet angrily.

She walked up to him, snatched the mouse, rewinded the footage, and explained again: "Look here, the deceased raised his right hand. At this point, she paused the scene and continued, "Look at her expression. ”

Lan Jingguo put his head back on the screen, the pixels of the video were very clear, but it was still a little difficult to see the expressions on people's faces carefully. After looking at it for a while, he still asked with a puzzled expression: "She's just smiling, I don't understand what a big discovery this is." ”

"Uncle, maybe you've been married for too long and have forgotten your wife's expression when she fell in love. Please, this is not an ordinary smile, is this called girl Hanchun understand? Qin Jinjun covered his forehead, his expression extremely speechless.

"So what does that mean? Didn't you just make sure she had a lover? Then it is normal for her to have the expression of a girl with spring. Lan Jingguo is still the second monk and is confused.

"Oh my God!" Qin Jinjun let out a cry of pain and continued to explain patiently: "I now seriously suspect that the murders you solved before were all blinded. Listen, I'll just say it once, except for weekends, the deceased usually relies on notes to communicate with his lover, so that he can avoid his husband flipping through the chat history from his mobile phone, do you understand this? ”

Lan Jingguo nodded affirmatively.

Qin Jinjun continued: "How did the note reach both sides? Look at the screen, this is it. Qin Jinjun pointed to the stalk above the apple touched by the fingers of the deceased's right hand on the screen.

Lan Jingguo took three or four seconds to digest Qin Jinjun's words, and then his eyes widened, revealing a sudden expression, and he asked in a slightly trembling tone, "Do you mean that those notes with love letters are rolled around the stalks of apples?" ”

Qin Jinjun breathed a sigh of relief, this stupid uncle finally understood, and said: "That's my guess, it's best to let someone from the technical department enlarge the picture, so that you can see if there is really something else on the stalk." ”

Lan Jingguo is a resolute person, as soon as he heard Qin Jinjun say this, he immediately sent a screenshot to his colleagues in the technical department, and asked him to make the picture as large as possible, and it should not look too blurry.

Taking advantage of the gap between people and making pictures, Qin Jinjun put on gloves and took out the note received by the deceased on the day of the crime from the jar, which was light gray. After a while, the colleague posted the finished picture to Lan Jingguo's WeChat, he clicked on it, and the two of them leaned their heads close to the screen to take a closer look.

The picture is not very clear, but you can faintly see a light gray thing on the apple stalk that is clearly different from the color of the stalk.

"Sure enough! They relied on Apple to deliver the message. Qin Jinjun shouted excitedly.

"Then this proves that in addition to the deceased, there is also her lover who has been exposed to poisonous apples." Speaking of this, Lan Jingguo showed a puzzled look again, and said: "But this doesn't make sense, the content of the note written by the lover to the deceased has always been affectionate, that is to say, he has no complaints about this relationship that cannot see the light, why did he suddenly send a poisonous apple to kill the deceased?" ”

"Maybe he had a grudge in his heart, but he didn't write it on the note; Or maybe someone else poisoned him, maybe the same person as the murderer in the second murder. The corners of Qin Jinjun's mouth rose, and he continued to analyze Lan Jingguo: "Think about it, the two deceased happen to be the people involved in the same fraud case, how can there be such a coincidence in this world." ”

Lan Jingguo pondered for a moment and nodded.

Now that this detail is clear, it's time to start the next step of the investigation. Judging from the time, it only took more than six minutes for the deceased to go out and return to the office, and the apple must have been picked up in the supermarket, so we should look for the answer from the video footage elsewhere in the supermarket, I want to know where the deceased got the apple from, and who put the poisonous apple there. Qin Jinjun stared at the screen with fiery eyes.

Lan Jingguo nodded, and began to rummage through the folder for other videos.
