——

Han Ce was originally full of expectations, waiting for the evening to go and have supper with Fang Qianmi.

But that plan was soon shattered.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, someone called to report the case, someone fell from the building on Dongken Road, and when the person fell, he also hit a passerby, and the person who fell from the building died on the spot, and the passer-by who was hit was rushed to the people's hospital for rescue.

Han Ce took Xu Kunxi to the scene together.

The deceased was a 28-year-old woman, a local named Xu Xiaoqin, who jumped off the building when her family was out of town, and only she and her two young children were at home. The eldest child is three years old, and the youngest child is just seven months old.

It was the neighbor who found out that the deceased was Xu Xiaoqin and immediately called the police.

Passers-by were filming the bloody scene with their mobile phones, Han Ce evacuated the crowd first, and asked Xu Kunxi to stay at the scene and wait for the forensic doctor to arrive, while he himself took the locksmith to the deceased's house to pick up the two young children.

After the locksmith in the bureau opened the door of the deceased's house, Han Ce was the first to enter there.

It was a small two-bedroom apartment of more than 80 square meters, the place was too small, and there were many things in the house, and the first impression of the house was that it was dirty and messy.

All kinds of toys were littered in the living room, the pillows and sofas on the sofa were torn off, the trash cans were overturned, and the garbage inside was scattered all over the floor.

On the dining room table are the dishes and chopsticks that have not yet been cleaned, and the bowls contain boiled noodles that have already become a lump.

In the kitchen, there are also carrots that have not yet been cleaned, broken eggs, etc., which look like the ingredients that the deceased wanted to dispose of before falling from the building.

There was no trace of the child in the living room, Han Ce tiptoed to the outside of the master bedroom, and before he could enter, he saw that the floor of the master bedroom was covered with all kinds of clothes, and the mess was not much better than the living room.

There was no light inside, Han Ce walked in, and by the light coming in through the window, he could vaguely see the two children lying on the big bed sleeping soundly. Faintly, he also smelled a sour odor.

Smelling that sour smell, Han Ce instantly had a bad premonition in his heart, he hurriedly turned on the light in the room, and under the dazzling incandescent light, he saw the real appearance of the two children.

The older one was a little girl, and she was lying on her stomach on the bed, her face with tears that had not yet dried.

The little one was a little boy who was holding a step doll with a small pacifier in his mouth and sleeping peacefully.

Han Ce walked lightly to the side of the bed, reached out to probe the snorts of the two children, and found that both children were breathing normally, and his hanging heart suddenly fell back to its original place.

But where does that sour smell come from?

He frowned and sniffed around.

The master who opened the lock also walked in, and as soon as he came in, he immediately said, "Alas, that little baby must have, the smell of this room." ”

Only then did Han Ce react, he just thought it was the smell of decay from the corpse.

I heard the master sigh regretfully, "I really don't understand what those women who are mothers think, the house is so dirty and messy that they don't clean up, and the children don't change diapers when they poop, so I left my two children and jumped off the building."

I'm not afraid of death, why are I still afraid of doing housework and taking care of children? If you really don't want to take care of your children, why did you have them in the first place? ”

Master's words made Han Ce feel sullen in his heart, because he couldn't help but think of Jiang Lili who died innocently, and also thought of Fang Qianmi's words that a woman marrying the wrong man would ruin her life.

A woman who has become a mother, in the eyes of everyone, should dedicate all her time to her children? Even if she is busy at home to take care of the children, others will only say lightly that they are just cleaning up the housework and taking care of the children, can they be more tiring than going to work to earn money?

But in fact, these stay-at-home mothers who are looking for a little self-space in the cracks of life are the most pitiful and difficult.

If he hadn't been in contact with Jiang Lili's case, he might not have understood how much pressure a stay-at-home mother has to bear.

So after listening to the words of the unlocking master, he couldn't help but turn around and say to the master in a deep voice, "What you see on the surface is not necessarily the truth. It is also possible that the deceased did not commit suicide, but homicide, and everything can only be decided after the truth is clarified. ”

Master Locksmith has been working in the police station for so many years and has been exposed to many cases.

He said confidently, "How can this case be investigated?" I can guess just by experience, most of the time the deceased was alone with the child, brought out depression, couldn't bear the trivial things with the child, and chose to commit suicide by jumping off the building. ”

Han Ce didn't speak, but continued to observe in the house.

Judging from the location, the deceased Xu Xiaoqin should have jumped from the window of this bedroom, and he walked lightly to the window to check, there was dust that had accumulated for a long time on the side of the window, and the dust was printed with two handprints and two footprints.

Under the windowsill, there is a mobile phone.

Han Ce didn't move, and before it was determined that this was a suicide case, anything in the room could be evidence of the murderer.

At this moment, the mobile phone under the windowsill suddenly rang, and the caller ID on the screen was my brother.

After Han Ce took out two gloves from his pocket and put them on, he picked up his mobile phone to answer.

"Hello?"

When the person on the other end of the phone heard that the person answering the phone was a man, he suddenly asked excitedly, "Who are you?" Why did you answer my sister's call? Where is my sister now? ”

Han Ce's ears were sharp, and he instantly heard that the person on the other end of the phone was Xu Xiaolei, whom he had only met in the afternoon.

Xu Xiaolei and Xu Xiaoqin, it is not surprising that they are sisters and brothers.

Thinking of Fang Qianmi's words in his heart that Xu Xiaolei would die in ten days, his face was a little heavy, but he said to Xu Xiaolei gently, "Xu Xiaolei, hello, I am the policeman Han Ce who went to your school to find you in the afternoon. ”

As soon as he heard this, Xu Xiaolei became even more excited, and he said loudly, "I said, didn't I ask you to sue me directly if you have evidence?" Why are you still looking for my sister?

My sister doesn't know anything, please don't harass her! And give my phone to my sister, I want to talk to her. ”

Han Ce said in a deep voice, "Xu Xiaolei, listen to me, at 8:20 tonight, your sister Xu Xiaoqin fell from her home and died, and she also hit a passerby.

I'm not here to find your sister to deal with your affairs, but to deal with the case of her falling from the building. ”

After Han Ce said this, there was a busy sound on the other side of the phone.

He thought about it and called back, but Xu Xiaolei didn't answer the phone.

The master on the side reminded coldly, "Since the deceased still has a younger brother, then hurry up and let her younger brother come over to take care of these two little babies." The children are still young, and we are all strangers, and they will be scared when they wake up and see us. ”
