Chapter 26: The Death of a Rich Woman

The first rays of the morning sun warmly sprinkled on Qiao Qian's empty bed.

What woke her up in the morning was not the sunshine, but the wafting aroma of porridge.

At 5:20 a.m., she was already sitting at the dining table, drinking the porridge that had been cooked on the stove and eating side dishes. Come to think of it, it's nice to have someone who cooks porridge for you in the morning.

It's pleasant, but last night's excessive alcohol caused her head to be a little dizzy this morning.

Moreover, she was broken.

Normally, the phenomenon of fragmentation does not appear on her, but she was completely fragmented from the wine she drank last night.

All of this is really thanks to He Shu!

She viciously snapped the dried tofu on her plate.

"What, do you have a grudge against dried tofu?"

Hearing this, Qiao Qianwen looked up at Xing Yi, who was walking straight to the entrance, and looked sideways at the clock on the wall.

"7:00..."Qiao Qianwen looked at him strangely, and teased, "Could it be that you went out on a blind date today?" ”

"Blind date?" He chuckled, "I don't seem to need a blind date to solve my life's problems." ”

"...... "Is this man deliberately angry with her?"

"It's Renju," he explained suddenly, "and he asked me to take his daughter around the city." ”

"I see.... The right to let you eat and play with you, and then sleep with you. However, the other party is a beauty, and you don't suffer. Qiao Qianwen lowered her head and drank porridge in small sips.

"Hearing you say that, I don't suffer." He showed a relieved look on his face and smiled faintly, "But I didn't sleep all night last night, and I really don't want to leave at all." But if you don't leave, Ren Ju will bring her daughter here. I don't mind, it's best to use you as an excuse to get rid of the daughter of the bureau..."

"Don't! Brother Xing~ You better go quickly. Qiao Qianwen smiled. He really knows how to use her at a critical moment....

"That's right." He stopped and looked back at her, "How much do you remember about last night?" ”

"What happened last night?"

She was slightly stunned.

"There are steamed buns in the pot, you eat slowly."

He casually told him to turn around and close the door and leave.

"Last night.... She reflexively glanced at the clothes on her body. Call... It's good that it was yesterday.

In addition to this .... What else could have happened last night? Qiao Qianwen immediately felt ashamed of this ridiculous idea in her head.

Tsk, sure enough, if you stay with the old driver for a long time, you will still be led astray.....

The phone vibrated suddenly, and she was slightly startled and pulled back to her senses.

"Hey, Moe."

"Sister Qiao! There are new cases. They asked us to go to the scene immediately! ”

Yu Meng's voice on the other end of the phone was noisy, and the sound of the subway broadcast was heard from time to time, obviously on the way to the scene.

"Got it, where's the address."

"The address is the largest exhibition hall in the city center, as the newspapers said recently."

"Painting the exhibition hall?"

"Yes, it's the one under the name of the Chen Group."

"Chen's Group...."

.... It seems that she really has an indissoluble bond with the Chen Group.

--------

The largest art gallery in W City was surrounded by police officers and lines, and several police cars stopped on the side of the road.

Painting exhibition hall, crime scene.

A cold female corpse was lying on the cold marble floor, the deceased was a 90-year-old lady with a net worth of hundreds of millions, who inherited her husband's Chen enterprise and became the chairman, with children and grandchildren and a harmonious family. This morning, his great-grandson was found bruised and dead in his own art gallery. Legend has it that they run a business in black and white, and they are still mixing well with these two.

"The corpse has obvious corpse spots on the body, the epidermis can be faded with acupressure, and the time of death is inferred to be about the past 12 hours. The deceased was lying on the floor with his head down, the back of his head appeared to have been hit by a heavy object, and there were corresponding bruises in other parts, and all three ribs in the lower left side of his chest were broken, but even so, the most fatal injury was a blow to the back of the head. She spoke a few words, and without emotion, she explained the results of the test to the messy scene before her.

"The bloodstain continued from the staircase on the first floor to the side near the stage, and according to the direction of the bloodstain, the body seemed to have been moved."

Yu Meng raised her eyebrows from between the pen strokes of the flying and fast, which was regarded as a silent mourning for the deceased, "Oh my God, Sister Qiao, he actually did it to a defenseless old lady, and he is too inhuman." ”

Qiao Qianwen looked at the blood stains on the ground and fell into deep thought. This murderer killed a powerless old lady alive, how much hatred should there be between the two?

Mrs. Chen's room is upstairs in the exhibition hall. The carved European-style mahogany staircase leading from the second floor to the first floor is unevenly stained with blood.

There was no trace of the murder weapon at the scene..... Qiao Qianwen leaned down close to the ground to carefully observe the bloodstains, which seemed to have been trampled on to show incomplete shoe prints, she climbed back to the stairs along the bloodstains, and suddenly stood up.

"The murder weapon has been found."

"The murder weapon? Where? Yu Meng grabbed the notebook and looked around.

"No, the stairs." Qiao Qianwen pointed to the stairs and looked up, "The murderer pushed her down the stairs, and it was only then that she had different degrees of fractures all over her body. She said and walked back around the body.

The exhibition hall on the first floor is a very spacious place, and there is a large temporary auction stage in the center. The walls around it are lined with famous paintings at regular intervals, each of which is of great value, and some of them are painted by unknown artists, and each of them hangs on the wall in perfect condition......

Turning to look at the corpse, the corpse was wearing a navy blue cheongsam embroidered with begonia flowers, blue embroidered shoes on its feet, silver hairpins in its hair, and traces of makeup on its face. The old lady seems to have dressed up carefully before she died.....

This navy blue cheongsam, which is especially suspicious, should be said to be expensive, and the delicate cut seems to be tailor-made. But it was obviously a bit too big on the old lady's thin body. Why would an old lady with a net worth of hundreds of millions want to buy a dress that doesn't fit her at all? Who are you going to see before you die? Could that person be the murderer?

In the distance, two people in white coats and carrying stretchers came down from the ambulance, and Qiao Qianwen stood up and motioned for them to come.

"Is Dr. Joe going to take it away?" One of the slightly taller men said.

"Well...... Wait a minute. ”

Qiao Qian's sudden call to stop made the bodies of the two men who were bent down and about to carry the corpse tremble at the same time. I complained hatefully in my heart, Forensic Doctor Qiao, can you not speak so suddenly, we have kidney deficiency!

She leaned down to look at the body again.

The corpse lay on its stomach, its left hand slightly loosened, and its right hand clenched tightly......

Right hand......!

She slowly crouched down and tried to break the dead man's hand away, but she didn't move in the slightest. She turned the dead man's hand over, and it was the palm of the bloody hand, and the deceased's nails were actually deeply embedded in the flesh.

Qiao Qianwen took out tweezers from her backpack and pinched out the nails embedded in her palms one by one. Then, a blood-stained gold ring came into Qiao Qian's eyes. It was lying quietly in the palm of the deceased's hand......

Full of doubts, Qiao Qianwen just wanted to calm down and think about it.

“… Phew, move out. Qiao Qianwen rubbed her aching temples.

"Yes......"

"Sister Qiao, why didn't Captain Xing come today?" Yu Meng put away the notebook and discovered this fact slowly.

"I don't know...."Qiao Qian's expression was indifferent.

I'm afraid he's still spending the moon at this time, right?

Criminal Investigation Bureau, Forensic Medical Office.

Qiao Qianwen seemed to be looking intently at the image in the microscope eyepiece, but her heart had already flown out of the clouds.

Busy spending money with beautiful women, and don't even care about the case? Xing Yi, you can do it very well.

"Sister?" Yu Meng patted Qiao Qian's shoulder.

"Huh?" Qiao Qianwen came back to her senses suddenly, and saw Yu Meng looking at her with a puzzled expression.

"Sister Qiao, I just said that the gold ring you asked me to investigate has already had results!" Yu Meng raised her voice and said it again.

"Sister, what's wrong with you, absent-minded."

"It's okay, I guess I didn't have a good rest last night.... You briefly say it. She forced a smile to hide her unnaturalness, and waved her hand to pretend to temporarily dispel the irritability that didn't exist in front of her.

"Yes." Yu Meng put the report in his hand and the gold ring in the transparent belt on the table, "After my careful investigation, I have already made a discovery!" Yu Meng smug his waist proudly.

"I looked at this gold ring carefully, and at first I didn't find anything special, and then I found that there was a very small string of numbers and two words engraved on the side of this ring, Nian Zu."

“…… Nian Zu" Qiao Qianwen raised her head, took the ring, saw the three golden words inside through the magnifying glass, and thought carefully," ...... There was a picture in the old lady's exhibition that he had painted. ”

"Then he's a painter....?"

"Well, it's very likely...... What else do you have about this person? ”

"By the way, this is my big discovery!" Yu Meng pulled out a photo of a similar gold ring in the information.

"This ring ......"

"Yes, this ring is the one you have. It is a family inheritance of gold shop. This is an old shop, and I heard that it has been mining gold for a long time. Yu Meng propped up the table with both hands and approached Qiao Qian's side.

Through the magnifying glass, Qiao Qianwen saw a small string of numbers under her name: 4568.

Qiao Qianwen frowned slightly, put down the things in her hand, and rubbed her index finger against the bottom of her nose.

4568…… Now two new problems have arisen. First, what does the number actually represent? Second, what does Ji Nianzu have to do with the ring? Whether this person is alive or not, he must be a very important clue in this case......

Rich Woman with Painter...... She remembered the romance novels she had read in middle school. The corners of Qiao Qian's mouth hooked up with a touch of deep meaning.

"There is progress, my sister will invite you to dinner in the evening." Qiao Qianwen took off her gloves and patted Yu Meng's shoulder with a smile.

"Really?" Yu Meng's eyes lit up.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Qianwen said with a smile, "When did I lie to you." ”

As soon as the voice fell, Yu Meng's phone rang. She just glanced at the number, her face suddenly flushed, and after she pressed the reject button categorically, she put the phone back into her pocket.

"Why don't you pick up?"

"No, no, no... Sister, there's something I think..."Yu Meng wanted to speak and stopped, and her hesitation was beyond words.

"If it's hard to say, come to me when you think about it, the case is more important." Qiao Qianwen picked up the white coat on the backrest and put it on casually and walked to the elevator.

"No, sister, I...."

"You go and rush and see when the body arrives." I don't know if there are some new people, and the efficiency of transporting corpses is too slow, and I haven't even seen a shadow until now.

"Yes...."

Yu Meng watched helplessly as the elevator door slowly closed.
