Chapter 1 The first scene

Next Chapter

The bus stopped at the terminal, and as soon as it opened, a wave of heat rushed in the face, and on July 26, it was very hot. Although in recent days, there have been some news about "seeing the sea in the city", but the city has not seen a drop of rain, and it is like living in a cage all day long, just walking a few steps, it is hot and sweating.

In this kind of ghost weather, Lin Yuansi is extremely reluctant to go to work, not to mention that the car has a temporary breakdown, so he has to take a bus to this remote urban-rural junction. The thought of the scene where the boss handsomely threw five yuan before departure, and gave the words "tight funds", could make Lin Yuansi so depressed that he vomited blood.

After walking for about 10 minutes from the bus stop, there is a tall building in front of you on the right side of the view, which is an old house from 10 years ago. Although it is an old house, it should be rare to see such a large-scale high-rise building ten years ago. Lin Yuan Temple can even imagine that ten years ago, this place must have been a place where the rich gathered.

It's a pity that things are not people. Today, it is like a forgotten corner.

In today's Internet age, the speed at which news spreads is eye-popping. Outside the building in front of me, there was already a crowd of people watching the excitement. Looking at the black press, Lin Yuansi had a stomachache.

Lin Yuansi did not go to the scene of the crime, but first went to the four circles and turned around, only to see a small shop with a rather elegant decoration not far away, and Lin Yuansi went to the store without hesitation.

After briefly asking the boss a few questions, Lin Yuansi was about to leave, but was stopped by the boss.

"Hey, young man, you're not here to join in the fun, I see you're a good person, remind you, this kind of fun can't be done."

It seems that he is regarded as a young man who has come to see the excitement.

"Boss, thank you for the reminder, but I'm not here to see the excitement, I'm this..."Lin Yuansi explained with a smile as he made a saluting gesture to the boss.

Seeing the boss's expression that he didn't understand, Lin Yuansi didn't explain much, and turned around and left with a smile.

The boss looked at the figure of Lin Yuansi entering the cordon, thinking about the gesture he had just saluted, and suddenly said to himself: "It turned out to be a policeman." ”

Walking towards the building, Lin Yuansi first said his hard work to his colleagues who were guarding, and then walked straight to the building. The decoration of the building is more upscale than he imagined, although it is a little old, but you can still see the luxury of the past.

Lin Yuansi looked around and saw that there were monitors distributed in the four corners, but he didn't know if it could be used normally.

Taking one of the elevators, Lin Yuansi directly pressed the button on the highest floor, the 19th floor.

Out of the elevator, the long corridor looks a little dim, and the lamps have not been changed for a long time, dyed with a thick dusk color.

Following the signs for the emergency exit, Lin Yuanji continued to walk forward, and had to climb three floors to reach his destination.

"It's really enough to climb a stairs on a day like this." Lin Yuansi thought secretly.

Finally climbed to the top floor in one go, Lin Yuansi pushed open the door of the rooftop, looked at the person standing not far away, and said hello with a smile. "Whew... It's finally here, and it's almost hot. ”

And the other party looked indifferent, just glanced at him, as if he didn't see him at all.

Shi Lei, worthy of his name, has a kind of coldness all over his body, and the living should not be approached, and the dead should not be approached.

"Team Lin, you're here, Doctor Shi has been waiting for you for almost an hour." The team members next to him saw the embarrassment of the boss and hurriedly came out to solve the siege.

"Really? That's really embarrassing, who knew that the police car would have a problem at this time, it's really sorry for the stone. Lin Yuansi smiled and touched his head and explained.

Unexpectedly, the other party just sneered and didn't look at himself at all.

"Hey, Stone, you're wrong..."

"Touch your head as soon as you lie, and remember to chew gum the next time you eat octopus balls."

"I..." Lin Yuansi wanted to continue to defend himself, but he was choked by the other party and couldn't speak.

It is an old habit of Lin Yuansi to touch his head as soon as he lies, and he can't change it, and only Shi Lei, an old partner, remembers this kind of thing so clearly.

Although he is an old partner, he can tear down the stage for himself in front of his subordinates, Lin Yuansi couldn't hold his face, and quickly dragged Shi Lei aside to ventilate with him. "I said stone, can you give a face, how can I say that I also bring a few younger brothers, you can't..."

The team members on the side looked at the two of them whispering, and they were all amused, but because of the majesty of the boss, they could only endure not laughing, and their cheeks were red one by one.

"What little brother, it's not the underworld." Shi Lei said, giving Lin Yuansi a blank look. "Can you be a little positive, the dead are big, be serious, OK?"

Maybe he felt that Shi Lei was reasonable, and Lin Yuansi no longer turned back.

I just finished a case yesterday, and I thought I could rest for a few days, but I didn't expect another one to come next, and people couldn't stop for a day.

The deceased was a middle-aged man, about 1.7 meters tall, about 45 years old, slightly chubby, and could not see his appearance clearly because he had his back to them.

Lin Yuansi approached the corpse and wanted to observe further.

The deceased faced the ground and fell to the ground, his mouth wide open, his fingers reaching into his mouth, his eyes bulging outward, his eyes were round, and there was a small medicine bottle scattered around him, which was not tightened, and the pills inside were scattered in all directions, some of which had melted away.

The clothes on his body are all brands that can be named.

"The pills scattered on the ground are aminophylline tablets, which are a common medicine for asthma." Shi Lei explained in a timely manner.

"In other words, this person may have asthma, and it seems that he has been taking it for a while, looking at the amount of medicine." Lin Yuansi put on his gloves and picked up the medicine bottle on the ground, even if he added the pills scattered on the ground, it was less than a third.

"Stone, go back and check if there is any medicine in it that you shouldn't take, and dissect it by the way."

"What do you mean..."Shi Lei understood and nodded.

"That's right, looking at the movements of the deceased, the right hand is stretched into his mouth, and the left hand is pressed against his stomach, clearly wanting to vomit something, which is a common way to induce vomiting." Lin Yuansi touched his chin and said thoughtfully. That is, he realized that he had eaten something he shouldn't have eaten. As for what this thing is, whether it's medicine scattered around the scene, or something else, it has to be... to confirm. As he spoke, Lin Yuansi made a gesture with a knife.

"No problem, as for what the cause of death is, it also needs to be autopsied to confirm, and now there are two possibilities, one is accidental ingestion of poison, and the other is mechanical death." Shi Lei analyzed very cooperatively.

The newcomer next to him listened to the analysis of the two and asked the people around him in a low voice. "What is mechanical death?"

"I'll go, your police academy is in vain, how did you graduate?" Another policeman asked in surprise.

Maybe the other party's voice was a little loud and was heard by Lin Yuansi.

Attracted by the sound, Lin Yuansi turned his head to look at the two who were whispering. "To die mechanically is to choke to death. I don't have to watch more detective movies in the future. ”

I thought that I would be scolded, but I didn't expect the captain to explain to him so understandingly, and Chen Xi instantly had a good impression of this team leader.

"If it's poison, it's okay to say that he killed it, if it was choked to death, if it wasn't killed by him, it can't be regarded as suicide..."Lin Yuansi continued to analyze, and seemed to be a little difficult.

"I'll wait for my further report." Shi Lei's cold voice came.

Also, there is no point in dwelling on this issue now.

Lin Yuansi looked around, in addition to the large ventilation ducts and generators on the rooftop, it seemed to be extremely empty, and at a glance, there was no place for people to hide.

"Look at him neatly dressed, he didn't have any external injuries on his body, and it didn't look like he had any signs of fighting. And there is no suitable place to hide in this area, so if you want to be surprised, I am afraid it is unlikely. Therefore, if the deceased met someone on the rooftop, it must have been an acquaintance. ”

"Obviously."

Shi Lei still didn't understand the amorous feelings, and he didn't buy the account of Lin Yuan Temple at all.

"But what's the reason to come to the rooftop?" Lin Yuansi seemed to be in deep thought. "There are so many suspicions that need to be investigated. Stones, can you deduce the time of death of the deceased? ”

When Shi Lei heard this, he walked to the corpse again and checked the cornea and muscle stiffness. "Now I can only roughly speculate, the cornea has been quite cloudy, and the post-mortem stiffness has spread all over the body, and it has been dead for some time."

"And the corpse spots are already obvious, and there will be basically no displacement." Lin Yuansi also came to the side of the corpse, took advantage of the situation to lift his clothes, checked it, and then Shi Lei's words continued.

"Well, that's right. So the time should be between sixteen hours and twenty-four hours. Shi Lei said.

"Not bad, but..."Lin Yuansi paused, his eyes containing some meaning. Combined with the time and place, it was a hot summer, the weather was sweltering, and the lack of rain should have accelerated the decomposition of the corpses. Moreover, the corpse is facing the ventilation duct, it is summer, and every household cannot do without air conditioning, and the flow of air will also speed it up. So I suggest shortening the time and setting it between fourteen and twenty-four hours. ”

The only thing that the "......" responded to Lin Yuansi was silence.

Lin Yuansi continued to talk to himself, not realizing what he had said wrong. "It's right for me to follow theory, but you can't always ignore reality, right?"

Lin Yuansi said, and finally looked at Shi Lei, only to see that the other party had a black line on his face, and his face was solemn, even worse than the dead man just now.

"Uh... That, of course, this is just speculation, there are errors, and the more accurate time will have to wait for our Dr. Shi's further dissection to confirm. Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Lin Yuansi hurriedly gave himself a step down.

As a result, Shi Lei didn't buy it at all, and threw a "If you say one more word, you will die" look to Lin Yuansi.

Realizing that a catastrophe was coming, Lin Yuansi hurriedly thought of a way to get out. "You... Just you, newcomer, and follow me to investigate the relationship between the deceased and the deceased. ”

"Yes! Hello Captain, my name is Chen Xi. Chen Xi looked flattered and hurriedly reported his name.

"Okay, you come with me."

"Good captain! But..."

Seeing Chen Xi's confused expression, Lin Yuansi stopped. "Any questions?"

"This... It is not yet possible to confirm the identity of the deceased, so how can we investigate the relationship between the deceased and the deceased? The deceased was not carrying anything that could prove his identity. Chen Xi plucked up his courage and said it as if he was not afraid of death.

This newcomer... Lin Yuansi listened to Chen Xi's question, and thought to himself how such a stunned young man came into his group, but at the same time, he felt that this newcomer dared to ask questions, and he was a good seedling.

Perhaps I find it helpless to answer such a question. Lin Yuansi sighed lightly. "Is it the first time you've seen a corpse, and out of fear, you didn't dare to look at it head-on?"

Facing the captain's question, Chen Xi nodded timidly.

"Okay, newcomer, I can understand my fear at first, but I hope you can take a look at the dead now."

Lin Yuansi's voice sounded like it had a power that people couldn't refuse. Chen Xi looked at the captain in front of him, feeling that he was like a male lion on the African grassland, strutting on the endless grassland, declaring his territory with every move.

It's like being in control.

Chen Xi silently moved his steps, came to the deceased, and forced himself to open his eyes to see. Although it is only a crack in the force, it can already be seen. It didn't seem to be as scary as he imagined, and Chen Xi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"This man... It looks familiar. Plucking up the courage to watch for a while, Chen Xi raised the question in his heart.

"Fortunately, it's not hopeless." Lin Yuansi said.

Chen Xi felt that the captain seemed to sigh again.

"This person is a wealthy businessman who ranks seventh or eighth in the city, made a fortune through real estate in the early years, and is also a figure with a face in our city, I really don't know if he will be angry with you." Lin Yuansi said helplessly.

"No wonder..."

"Moreover, although this community is an old house, it was also a place where the rich and wealthy gathered in the past, and one of the biggest advantages of this kind of residence is safety..."Lin Yuansi said, paused, and glanced at the corpse, as if wondering if it was appropriate to say so. Well, in other words, for various reasons, the residents here must be strictly vetted and will not allow outsiders to enter and exit casually, so even if we are unlucky today and do not know this person, it is logical to find out his identity. You should always get the idea, right? ”

Chen Xi listened, revealing a look of sudden realization.

"Very well, let's go." Lin Yuansi signaled to Shi Lei and prepared to leave first. "And at this time, the victim's family should also appear." Lin Yuansi said, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
