Chapter 70: Advance Brand Cigarettes
"Brother-in-law! O my miserable sister! Che Huaiju had just stepped on the boat with her right foot, and suddenly lost control of her emotions and cried bitterly, and she saw the bicycle lying next to the corpse.
The first thing Che Huaiju saw was the rope wrapped around the back seat of the bicycle.
After moving out of Huaigu Village, Duan Chunsheng's family lived in the house of his wife Che Huaiying's sister Che Huaiju.
Day and night, she recognized her brother-in-law Duan Chunsheng's bicycle at a glance - it was a permanent weighted bicycle.
Two female workers walked up to Che Huaiju and supported her.
After a few brief greetings with Director Wang, Director Wang, and Director Tao, Zhao Zimeng led a few people onto the boat.
At this time, comforting the family is a top priority.
Zhao Zimeng had to temporarily suspend the autopsy.
Before Che Huaiju walked to the corpse, she couldn't stop crying, and she had already seen the black pinstriped shirt on a white background that the deceased wore every day.
Director Huang had a simple exchange with Director Wang and Zhao Zimeng: Originally, Sister-in-law Che insisted on coming, but under the persuasion of the factory leaders and her sister Che Huaiju, she agreed to wait for news in the factory.
Moreover, it has not been confirmed that the body is her husband Duan Chunsheng.
Director Huang promised Che Huaiying that at the appropriate time, he would arrange for her and the children to come.
Here, Director Huang, Director Wang and Zhao Zimeng were talking, and over there, Che Huaiju was crying loudly.
The two female workers were crying and sad, one of them hugged Che Huaiju's waist, and one of them held Che Huaiju's arm, preventing Che Huaiju from leaning in the direction of the corpse.
Zhao Zimeng stepped forward: "Che Huaiju, are you sure that the deceased is your brother-in-law Duan Chunsheng?" ”
"Yes! It's my brother-in-law! Woo woo...... "Che Huaiju choked up.
"That's my brother-in-law's bike, and his shirt! Who damn me killed my brother-in-law! If you hurt my brother-in-law, you hurt my sister. My brother-in-law is gone, how can their lives go on! "Che Huaiju is sobbing and rippling, and it is difficult to control himself.
Director Tao hurriedly walked to Che Huaiju's side and helped her: "Comrade Car, mourn!" On the way here, you promised Director Huang to control his emotions! We're counting on you to comfort your sister! In the future life of your sister and children, didn't the factory leaders express their attitude? ”
Director Huang walked behind Che Huaiju to comfort her: "Comrade Che, something has happened, and we are all very sad. It's useless to be sad now, what you have to do is think about how to soothe your sister. You have to believe that the public security comrades will definitely arrest the murderer. As for the life of your sister and children, with our factory leaders, you don't have to worry. ”
"Yes! It's not early - it's already dark, and we can't interfere with the work of our public security comrades. Director Tao said two more words of comfort, "You can't let your brother-in-law lie here all the time!" ”
Che Huaiju listened to the leader's comforting words and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands, but she couldn't stop sobbing for a while.
Director Tao pointed to the van.
Che Huaiju stepped off the motor boat with the support of the two female comrades and got into the van.
Linghu Yunfei said to Zhao Zimeng: "This morning, when we arrived at Che Huaiying's house, she was in a very low mood and couldn't say a complete sentence. Later, Che Huaiju accompanied Che Huaiying to the factory with our car, and I also wanted to talk to Che Huaiju, but because Che Huaiying was in front of me, I never had a chance. ”
"Yunfei, I see what you mean. You continue with the autopsy, and I'll go talk to Che Huaiju. Zhao Zimeng said.
There was a commotion in the crowd not far away, and Zhao Zimeng turned to look, two cars were driving on the lake embankment, and the light of the headlights was dazzling.
The car stopped at the pier.
Several people stepped out of the first car in turn, one of them was carrying a forensic box in his hand, and Zhao Zimeng saw Xiao Changsong at a glance.
Zhao Zimeng didn't expect Xiao Changsong to arrive at the scene so quickly, and the distance between the Municipal Public Security Bureau and the Yinniu Lake Reservoir is not short.
He jumped onto the shore and led Xiao Changsong, Feng Yiming, and Cheng Qiushui onto the motor boat.
Zhao Zimeng and Xiao Changsong briefly explained a few words, and Xiao Changsong and his two assistants began to conduct a preliminary autopsy, and further autopsies could not be carried out until the body was transported back to the forensic medical department.
Zhao Zimeng was just about to jump ashore, but was stopped by Ling Hu Yunfei: "Team Zhao, in addition to Che Huaiju, we still have to talk to Che Huaiying." Although Duan Chunsheng is a good drinker, he will not drink with these people casually if he has a bad relationship. ”
Zhao Zimeng nodded, then jumped out of the boat and walked towards the van.
Linghu Yunfei stayed on the ship to assist Xiao Changsong in the autopsy.
Cheng Qiushui squatted next to the corpse and found that the pocket on the chest of the deceased's shirt was bulging. He pulled out a soggy pack of Advance cigarettes from his pocket.
Duan Chunsheng's wife, Sister-in-law Che, just lost her job last year, her mother in the countryside is a medicine jar, and the child is too young, so the financial burden is relatively heavy.
Duan Chun usually loves cigarettes in addition to alcohol, but the financial situation makes him stretched, and he can only smoke a pack of Qianjin brand cigarettes for a few cents to get by.
Under normal circumstances, Duan Chunsheng can smoke a pack of cigarettes for two days.
Cheng Qiushui opened the cigarette box, there were only five cigarettes left in it, the cigarette box was deflated, the head of the cigarette had been scattered, and he also poured out a little water from the shriveled cigarette case, and there was still a little tobacco in the water.
"Yesterday at noon, I also smoked Duan Chunsheng's cigarette." Director Tao on the side looked sad, and before he finished speaking, tears burst out of his eyes.
The deceased had no tunic or trousers, only a gray autumn coat and trousers, and the black pinstriped shirt on a white background was on the outside of the autumn coat.
Duan Chunsheng was wearing a set of work clothes before he disappeared.
The occupational characteristics of the work clothes were too obvious, and when Director Huang and Director Tao arrived at the scene with a few workers, Zhao Zimeng and Ling Hu Yunfei were more sure of the murderer's purpose of removing Duan Chunsheng's coat.
Except for Director Huang, Director Tao and others were wearing work clothes, and the work clothes were more or less stained with some paint.
Director Tao said that Duan Chunsheng is the team leader, and he usually does the most work, so he has more paint on his body than ordinary workers.
Workwear is a cotton product, which will rot after soaking in water for a period of time, and cotton cloth with paint is more difficult to degrade in water.
The killer threw Duan Chunsheng's body into the water separately from the bicycle, which was separated by more than 20 meters, perhaps for this reason.
When Xiao Changsong was at the autopsy, Zhao Zimeng was sitting in the van and talking to Che Huaiju.
At the beginning, Che Huaiju's mood was very bad.
There were several wooden boxes on the truck, and Zhao Zimeng and Che Huaiju sat on the wooden boxes.
"Sister-in-law, please mourn, please believe that we will catch the murderer, and please believe that the law will let the murderer go unpunished."
Che Huaiju raised his head and nodded at Zhao Zimeng a few times.
"Now, the priority is to track down the whereabouts of the murderer, and I hope that you and your sister can provide some valuable clues to the police."
Che Huaiju wiped the tears on her face with her sleeve.
"I also hope that you will persuade your sister Che Huaiying to cooperate with our investigation, all so that the murderer can be brought to justice. Your sister will definitely be very sad when she learns the news of Master Duan's murder, but our investigation cannot be delayed. We police are in a hurry more than anyone else to catch your brother-in-law's murderer. ”
"Captain Zhao, what do you want to ask? Just ask! Che Huaiju was eager for revenge.
"You two sisters have a good relationship, right?"
"My sister and I are the closest, my sister's family used to live in the back village of Huaigu Village, my family lived in the dormitory area of the shipyard, it only takes a few minutes to walk, and after my sister's house was demolished, she moved to live with us."
Zhao Zimeng knew about these situations, and he went to Che Huaiju's house.
"What is your impression of your brother-in-law?"
"I have a lot of respect for my brother-in-law, he is very good to my sister. I was reluctant to eat or wear, but I didn't pick the door at all on my sister's body. Other workers ate in the canteen, and my brother-in-law brought food from home to save money. ”
Che Huaiju pondered for a moment and then said: "My brother-in-law is in the unit, and he is an advanced worker every year. ”
"Does Duan Chunsheng like to drink?"
"Yes, but he always buys the cheapest wine, and he drinks very frugally, only a small glass every night, and sometimes, my man will send him a bottle or two."
"Does he often drink out with people?"
"Not often. My brother-in-law is a kind man who never takes advantage of others. Drinking other people's wine, he must be invited, he goes to and from work on time every day, except for other people's wedding banquets, he generally does not drink outside. ”
"As far as you know, who does Master Duan usually drink with?"
"My man, and then the neighbor at the door."
"Which of his neighbors did he drink with?"
"The two brothers of the Cao family, the third brother of the Zhang family, and Li Jincheng."
"Are the two brothers of the Cao family the two sons of Cao Runan?"
"Hmm."
"What is the number of the Zhang family?"
"Number 115. Li Jincheng's house is No. 113, and my sister's house is No. 114. ”
"Rao Zhan, who lives at No. 117, has he ever had a drink with your brother-in-law?"
Zhao Zimeng thought of Rao at this time, he should also be regarded as Duan Chunsheng's neighbor. What Xiang Daimo learned at the Zhongguan Grain Depot: Rao often invited two friends to drink.
According to Gui Qingguan of the motor factory, Duan Chunsheng should have known the person who invited Duan Chunsheng to drink on Hualong Road. It is not impossible for acquaintances to commit crimes.
"I-I don't know, my sister should know." Che Huaiju's tone was not very sure.
Uncle Cao and Sister-in-law Che have a good impression of Rao Glance, which shows that Rao Glance has a good relationship with everyone, Rao Glance is usually helpful, and Master Duan may have asked Rao Glance to drink, so he cannot be exempt from suspicion.
If Duan Chunsheng asked Rao to drink wine, then if Rao asked Duan Chunsheng to drink, he would not refuse.
Che Huaiju also felt that the person who could intercept his brother-in-law in the middle of the road and invite him to drink must be someone who knew his brother-in-law, and his brother-in-law couldn't wipe his face before agreeing to the appointment, because his brother-in-law commuted to work on time every day and never delayed outside.
Che Huaiju also said that her brother-in-law and sister have a good relationship, and the two of them have nothing to say, so my sister should know about her brother-in-law's communication outside.
Che Huaiju knows so much about Duan Chunsheng's social circle. Zhao Zimeng's questioning of her could only end here.
Before getting out of the car, Che Huaiju promised Zhao Zimeng that she would persuade her sister to cooperate with the police investigation.
When Zhao Zimeng stepped out of the truck, Duan Chunsheng's body had been loaded into a body bag, carried off the motor boat, and put on the body truck.
It was already completely dark. The onlookers on the embankment also gradually dispersed.
After sending off Captain Luo, Director Wang, Xiao Changsong and others, Zhao Zimeng and Ling Hu Yunfei took advantage of the night to go to the engine and motor factory with Director Huang and his party.
Zhao Zimeng decided to have a good talk with Che Huaiying tonight.
Che Huaiying was still fidgeting in the factory at this time, waiting for news.
