Early the next morning, Ran Xiaoke just parked his car and walked to the door of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, when he happened to meet the forensic doctor Zhang Jingtian hurriedly walking out with the investigation equipment.

"What's the big case?" , Ran Xiaoke asked.

"A middle-aged woman in the Hejiang community died at home with no external injuries," Zhang Jingtian said as he pulled the car door and set off.

"Hey, wait for me", Ran Xiaoke said and drove out with his own car, calling Zhao Yixin while driving and asking him to go directly to the scene in Hejiang Community.

To be honest, when a big case occurred, Ran Xiaoke was both scared and excited, afraid that someone would be violated again, and social fairness and justice would be broken; Excitedly, as a criminal policeman, the time has come for him to show his strength again, he hates to be idle every day and feels wasted time. Every time I encounter a case, my heart can be said to be entangled. When there is no case, I hope for a challenge, and when there is a case, I often feel sorry for the victim. Of course, he knows that the occurrence of cases, especially major criminal cases, is a social phenomenon, and all kinds of strange things happen wherever there are people.

Ran Xiaoke followed behind Zhang Jingtian, and after a while, he arrived at Hejiang Community. A police car and an ambulance were already parked downstairs. It is a resettlement community, each with a six-storey small high-rise residence, and the site is on the 3rd floor of Household A. The comrades at the police station have already asked the locksmith to open the door and are waiting for the comrades from the Criminal Investigation Department and the forensic doctor.

Before entering the door, Ran Xiaoke put on the shoe covers and gloves handed over by Zhang Jingtian, and followed in, faintly smelling a stinky smell of gas, and when he entered the door, he saw a middle-aged woman lying on the sofa in the living room, with a small pillow on her head, covered with an air-conditioning quilt, there was no blood around her, and there was no trace of fighting, and the deceased looked very peaceful.

Ran Xiaoke noticed a piece of paper on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and picked it up and found that it was a suicide note.

"I live a miserable life alone, and I hope to be with Lao Du as soon as possible.

All I left behind was given to my son.

I'm dead, and I have nothing to do with anyone else

Li Ronghua

March 6, 2019"

"Sedum, are there fresh fingerprints of the deceased on the gas valve?" , Ran Xiaoke asked Zhang Jingtian, who was fixing the traces of the scene.

"I mentioned it, fortunately, the comrades from the police station found that something was wrong after entering the door, and they also wore gloves before coming in, and the fingerprints of the deceased were not covered when the gas valve was closed, and I compared them and I could confirm that they were the fingerprints of the deceased." , Zhang Jingtian replied.

"There was gas left at the scene, according to the statement of the comrades at the police station, when the door was first opened, the whole house was smelling of gas, the doors and windows were closed, and community personnel, locksmiths, and emergency personnel confirmed that there were no traces of a fight at the scene, the deceased had no external injuries, and there was a suicide note saying that it had nothing to do with other people. It can be preliminarily inferred that the deceased committed suicide by gas poisoning. Zhang Jingtian analyzed.

Ran Xiaoke looked at all the rooms in the room, the whole room was clean and tidy, the quilts on the bed were neatly folded, all kinds of items were arranged in an orderly manner, the coffee table and TV cabinet were spotless, it can be seen that the deceased had done room hygiene before he died, and everything was normal.

Walking to the bookshelf, Ran Xiaoke noticed that there were several photos in the window, a photo of a middle-aged man and a young woman with the deceased, and next to a photo of the deceased and a boy when he was young.

In a flash, Ran Xiaoke felt that this boy seemed to be a little familiar, but he couldn't say where he had seen it for a while.

This is, the apprentice Zhao Yixin is here.

"Master, I'm here, there are a lot of people outside the door, do you need to call them to disperse?" , Zhao Yixin asked.

"Are the comrades in the community still there?" , Ran Xiaoke said.

"I'll ask", as he spoke, Zhao Yixin went to the door and asked, "Is the building here long?" ”

"I am, officer," replied a chubby aunt.

"Master, the building in the community is here," Zhao Yixin said to Ran Xiaoke, who was checking in the room to see if there were any other abnormalities.

Ran Xiaoke walked to the door and asked the fat aunt, "Auntie, do you know the deceased in this house?" She usually lives with several people, has there been any abnormalities recently? ”

"I know this Li Mei'er, it's really hard, it's a pity", the fat sister said.

"Why is her life miserable, let's hear it", Ran Xiaoke asked.

"Do you think she's miserable? She didn't live in our community before, she was married in recent years, and then we heard that her husband died of illness when she was young, and she brought a doll by herself, and worked in the supermarket to earn money to make the doll bigger. Lao Du also took a daughter after the divorce, and has not married a daughter-in-law again, this daughter wants to find a partner when she is older, the relationship between the two is very good, and they go out for a walk after dinner every day hand in hand. ”

"Is Lao Yang also gone", Ran Xiaoke read the suicide note, Lao Yang should also be gone, he confirmed and asked.

"For Sazi said that Li Mei'er's life is hard, Lao Yang has just died for more than ten days, there was a car accident on the highway, and his daughter suffered together, so pitiful, it is said that the rape flowers in Dajiang County on the side are blooming, and I drove out to see the rape flowers, and I suffered on the way back at night. Li Meier must be a person who feels bitter, which one do you say is not uncomfortable? ”

"Does her son live with her? We also need to inform the family," Ran Xiaoke asked.

"Her son lives in the Blue Sky Community, Li Meier's previous house", the fat aunt knows everything.

"Is the Blue Sky Community the resettlement community on the side of the Fourth Ring Road? Do you have his phone? ", Ran Xiaoke asked.

"Yes, that's the neighborhood. There was no phone call, and she was not familiar with her son, so she came less often. I heard that if you are idle for a day, you can't make it. ", said the fat aunt.

"Okay, thank you, Auntie!", Ran Xiaokexie said. Turning around and entering the room, he picked up the deceased's mobile phone from the coffee table, there was no password lock, opened the address book, and easily flipped to the phone number saved as "son".

Dial it and turn it off.

"Yixin, check the information of the head of the household with this number." , Ran Xiaoke said to Zhao Yixin.

"Okay," Zhao Yixin said, jotting down the number in his notebook.

"Look at this boy, how does he feel familiar, I can't remember who it is." , Ran Xiaoke pointed to the boy in the window photo with the deceased before his death.

"It's quite familiar, I want to think about it", Zhao Yixin leaned over and stared at the boy.

"Come to think of it, it doesn't look like the medicine baby we caught on the way back from the detention center last night? What's the name of Hu? Zhao Yixin pondered as he spoke.

"Hulu baby, Hu Yong, don't say it's really like, this photo is a teenager, although it is more than ten years, but if you look closely, there is no change between your eyebrows and eyes. No wonder the phone is turned off, and now the person should be in the detention center. In this way, you immediately check the information of the head of the household with this phone number to see if it is Hu Yong," Ran Xiaoke said.

"What if it is?" , Zhao Yixin asked.

"If it's him, inform him of this as soon as possible." , Ran Xiaoke said.

"Sedum, we will inform the family of the deceased to take care of the funeral, and you will be responsible for the rest?" Ran Xiaoke asked Zhang Jingtian.

"No problem, although the preliminary judgment is that it was a suicide by gas poisoning, for the sake of safety, we still have to do a quantitative test for carbon monoxide after we go back, and we will be responsible for the rest, and you will be notified when the results come out." Zhang Jingtian said.

"Okay, then we'll withdraw first." Ran Xiaoke said goodbye to Zhang Jingtian.

When I walked out of the door, I saw that the fat aunt in the community was still in the crowd, so I said hello to the fat aunt and got into the car and prepared to leave.

He drove to the gate of the community, asked the security guard of the community to open the barrier and let him go out, and caught a glimpse of the fat aunt panting from the rearview mirror to catch up, waving while running, he estimated that the aunt had something to say in public, so he pulled over after driving the car out of the community.

The fat aunt walked out of the community and ran to Ran Xiaoke's car window, "Officer, there is another situation, it's hard to say how many people just now", the fat aunt hasn't even breathed yet.

"Auntie, don't worry, you speak slowly." , Ran Xiaoke said.

"That's it, Lao Yang and his daughter bought high-value accident insurance before, and the insurance company paid millions after dying in a car accident ten days ago, you said that Li Meier should live well when she got this money, I just can't understand why she committed suicide", the fat aunt said.

"How do you know that they bought insurance and Li Meier was compensated for millions?" , Ran Xiaoke asked.

"Someone from the insurance company came a few times a few days ago to check some information. When they first came, they happened to meet me and asked Li Meier where the house was in the community, and I took them there. On the way, they also asked me about their situation, and also heard about their insurance company's compensation of millions this time. That's it, nothing else," said the fat aunt.

"Oh, that's the case, okay, thank you, auntie, I know", Ran Xiaokexie said, "This money must be left to her son, do you know her son's situation?" ”

"Her son has been here a few times this month, and he came two days ago. It seems that Lao Yang came over when he went out fishing. "Fat aunt said." Police officer, I heard that his son is a drug addict, has no job, does not listen to Li Mei'er, often comes to her to ask for money, and makes her mother cry angrily." The fat eldest sister said.

"Clear. Thank you, Auntie, then I'll go, I'll look for you again if there's any situation", Ran Xiaoke said.

Ran Xiaoke returned to the Criminal Investigation Department on the front foot, and Zhao Yixin arrived on the back foot.

"Master, it's verified, Li Ronghua's son is Hu Yong, gourd baby. It's really such a coincidence", Zhao Yixin grabbed the water cup and reported to Ran Xiaoke while drinking water.

"It's not that simple", Ran Xiaoke stood in front of the window and watched the traffic, muttering to himself.

"What, master, what did you just say?" , Zhao Yixin asked in a circle.

"Let's go, let's go find Jianwa'er," Ran Xiaoke said.

"What are you looking for him?" , Zhao Yixin asked while chasing Ran Xiaoke who was walking out.
