Chapter 45: The Deadly Coriander (2)
Luo Chuan got into the ambulance and sat opposite Xu Xiaoqing. looked at her still panicked expression, and asked for a long time: "You're not hurt, are you?" ”
Xu Xiaoqing looked at Luo Chuan distractedly, then wiped his tears and said, "No." ”
"That's fine." Luo Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. This kind of care made Xu Xiaoqing also relax a little, and felt that Luo Chuan in front of him looked like a relatively gentle policeman, who knew how to sympathize with her emotions, and would not bring her excitement and nervousness.
But unexpectedly, Luo Chuan followed up and said again: "Since we are not injured, let's not sit in this ambulance." You come back to the police force with me, and let's talk about what you saw before Zhang Wen died. ”
Seeing Xu Xiaoqing's unacceptable expression of surprise, Luo Chuan said as tactfully as possible: "Look... That's it...... Your husband's brother burned to death in his own house without any warning, and when you reported the crime, you said that he committed suicide, in such an extreme way, of course we want to figure out the ins and outs of the matter as soon as possible, right? Since you are not injured, as an eyewitness and informant, you should make a record with us, and it can be regarded as a contribution for your brother. ”
"What I said is true!" Xu Xiaoqing was a little emotional, and tears appeared in her eyes again.
"I know what you said is true, otherwise you wouldn't have called the police. I just want to know more about the situation, understand? Luo Chuan felt that he might not be suitable for talking to women, and this habit of crying as soon as he spoke made Luo Chuan really unbearable. I knew this earlier, so I might as well let Guan Shan come just now.
"What about my husband? What should I do if he comes and can't find me? Xu Xiaoqing asked with tears in her eyes.
Luo Chuan thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, I'll let your husband go directly to the police force to meet you, so it's okay, right?" ”
Hearing what Luo Chuan said, Xu Xiaoqing reluctantly agreed to return to the police team with Luo Chuan.
In the police interrogation room, Guan Shan poured a cup of hot water for Xu Xiaoqing and took a few tissues. waited until Xu Xiaoqing was obviously relaxed, and then signaled with his eyes that Luo Chuan could start asking.
Luo Chuan couldn't wait for a long time, but he also knew that Guan Shan did not do this because he felt sorry for the jade, but because the emotions of the witnesses would completely affect the authenticity of the testimony. Whether there is fear or tension in the witness's personal feelings, what he says will become watery and unbelievable.
Luo Chuan didn't come up and go straight to the point, but chose a step-by-step way and said, "I have already contacted your husband just now, and he will be here soon, you can rest assured." I heard that the distance may be a little far, what is he doing when he goes out today? ”
"Sending our son to grandma's house is a bit far away, so it should take a bit longer for him to come back. Hey, he must be in a hurry now. Today is my night shift, and when I come back, they have already left for my grandmother's house. Speaking of her husband and son, Xu Xiaoqing has obviously become much more gentle and sober.
Luo Chuan also smiled cooperatively and asked, "How old is your son this year?" ”
"I'm six years old and already in school." A smile finally appeared on Xu Xiaoqing's face.
"Does that Zhang Wen have a child?" Luo Chuan wanted to know about Zhang Wen's social relations and family situation.
But Xu Xiaoqing sighed regretfully and said, "My eldest brother and my husband are similar everywhere, but their personalities are not the same." The eldest brother is a little too quiet, he doesn't like to talk or be lively, and he has been told a few times about his girlfriend, but none of them agree. No, the older you get, the more difficult it becomes, and it's dragged on until now. However, he has a good relationship with my son Xiaohui, and often buys toys and delicious food for Xiaohui. ”
Luo Chuan saw that this homely way of chatting was very effective, so he began to try to ask the question: "Is your home close to Zhang Wen's house?" Did you happen to be there today? ”
Speaking of Zhang Wen, Xu Xiaoqing was a little scared, she was very scared and said: "Of course it's not a coincidence, where is there such a coincidence in this world!" It was the eldest brother who sent me a message saying that he didn't want to live anymore, so I rushed over from home! With that, Xu Xiaoqing took out his mobile phone and handed it to Luo Chuan.
Luo Chuan glanced at the text message, and the editor's name showed "big brother". The content is roughly to say that he doesn't want to live anymore, and he feels that it's boring to live, so let Xu Xiaoqing take care of his younger brother Zhang Wu in the future, and the two of them will live a good life.
"When you received this text message, didn't you notify Zhang Wu as soon as possible?" Luo Chuan asked.
Xu Xiaoqing shook his head and said, "When I saw this, I was stunned!" Where did you come from to think so much? After receiving the text message, I hurried to my eldest brother's house, and called Zhang Wu on the way, but no one answered. I knew he might be on the road, and I didn't fight again for fear that something would happen to him. I just thought that Yuanyuan couldn't quench his thirst, and when he came back, the daylilies would be cold. I hurried over to persuade my eldest brother, what if I persuaded him! ”
"Then why didn't you go into the house when you arrived, but outside? Was there already a fire at that time? Luo Chuan looked at Xu Xiaoqing and asked very directly.
Xu Xiaoqing waved his hand again and again and said, "No, it's not on fire yet." I'm sure, absolutely not! As soon as I arrived at the door, my eldest brother texted me and said that he had seen me and didn't want to hurt me and hurt me, so I didn't want to go in. When I looked up, I saw him dangling by the bedroom window, scared to death! Eh, the phone is not in your hand, you can read it! ”
Luo Chuan realized that he hadn't looked at other information, so he read the text message again. The content is consistent with what Xu Xiaoqing said, and the time is about the same as the time of the fire.
Luo Chuan looked at his phone puzzled and asked, "Zhang Wen doesn't want to live anymore, why is he looking for you instead of his younger brother Zhang Wu?" ”
Xu Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, and said a little angrily: "What do you mean by this!" Maybe the eldest brother is also afraid that his younger brother is in a hurry, how do I know! Their brothers usually have a good relationship, maybe at the last moment, they don't want Zhang Wu to go crazy......" As she spoke, Xu Xiaoqing cried again.
Luo Chuan looked at Xu Xiaoqing with a headache, and said helplessly: "I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious about his behavior before committing suicide." Don't cry, think about it, did you really see him standing by the window? ”
"That's our family, we've been together for almost ten years! How can there be a fake! Although the curtain was half hung, I recognized his shadow and clothes! You can't go wrong! He was standing by the window, shaking and shaking like a ghost, and then the fire burned after a minute! Only then did his shadow disappear! Xu Xiaoqing said eloquently and described in great detail.
But Luo Chuan listened and asked a little hesitantly: "You said that you saw Zhang Wen set fire to himself, did you mean the shadow you saw through the curtain??" ”
Hearing Luo Chuan's questioning, Xu Xiaoqing insisted: "That's right!" Don't doubt it, I can't be wrong! That's my husband's own brother, how could I not know him? And the curtains were halfway drawn, and I watched him while he was flickering around and lighting the fire! It's big brother, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it! ”
This has been determined to such an extent that it seems that Luo Chuan is not allowed to continue to question it. Guan Shan said to Luo Chuan at this time: "Let her rest and rest, you come out and let's talk a few words." ”
Luo Chuan followed Guan Shan out of the inquiry room, and Guan Shan said directly: "Her words are true, and her expression proves that every sentence she says is repeated according to her memories." However, her memories are not necessarily so clear. Just imagine, her relatives want to commit suicide in front of her, she must be in a state of nervous panic. What she saw probably wasn't so clear, but it was real. ”
Listening to these somewhat tongue-twisting words, Luo Chuan nodded in understanding: "I understand what you mean." I also think that her subjective consciousness is too strong, she received Zhang Wen's text message, and she stood at the door of his house, so something seemed to form a picture in her mind as a matter of course. But at present, this Zhang Wen doesn't seem to have any enemies, and he is alone, the probability of vendetta murder is very low, and the evidence at the scene has been burned, and it is impossible to determine whether there are traces of outsiders' invasion. ”
"In that case, there is a high probability that he committed suicide." Guan Shan felt that if it was really suicide, then the matter was not simple. With such a tragic way of suicide, it is difficult to give an explanation to Director Yang without finding out the root cause.
The two men were talking, and there was a noise in the hallway, and several police officers ran around a man in this direction.
Luo Chuan stood up and blocked the man's way, and the man said hoarsely with red eyes: "What about my eldest brother?" I just want to meet my big brother! ”
"Zhang Wu?" Luo Chuan asked calmly.
"It's me. Where the hell is my big brother! Zhang Wu's emotions were very excited, just like Xu Xiaoqing said, it seems that their brothers have a good relationship, and Zhang Wu's personality is not like Zhang Wen, he is more impulsive.
Luo Chuan comforted Zhang Wu and said, "He is in the forensic office, you are not suitable for the past now." ”
Zhang Wu's eyes widened when he heard this, and he roared angrily: "Forensic office? What are you putting my big brother there for! When the man is dead, do you still have to dissect him! ”
For Zhang Wu's resistance, Luo Chuan is no stranger or stranger. In our country, the biggest problem faced by forensic autopsies is that relatives demand "respect for the deceased and have a whole body". This kind of ignorant thinking hinders the progress of most murder cases, and every time we must communicate and enlighten them well, so that they understand that the greatest respect for the deceased is to return them to the truth.
Zhang Wen's appearance...... I don't think the autopsy would affect him anything. Don't you want to know why he suddenly committed suicide? You are his own brother, and I think what you should do now is to calm down and assist the police in finding out the cause of Zhang Wen's suicide. Even if it's self-defeating, someone should always know what he's going to doom for, right? Otherwise, no one will know his pain when he dies, so he will die without turning a blind eye, right? Luo Chuan tried his best to calm Zhang Wu down, so that he could learn more clues from him.
Zhang Wu listened to Luo Chuan's words, but he no longer roared, he cried and grabbed his hair, slowly sat on the ground against the wall, and while crying, he raised his head and shouted: "Brother!" ”
Such a sad scene moved all the police officers around him. Two policewomen even had red eyes and shed tears. Just because the heart-rending cry of "brother" is enough to make the viewer's heart ache and the listener cry.
Luo Chuan stepped forward, gently stretched out his hand to support Zhang Wu and said, "People can't be resurrected after death, and those who are alive have to continue to live." Think about your wife and children, don't be like this, let's go into the house and talk. ”
Hearing his wife and children, Zhang Wu wiped his face and asked Luo Chuan: "Is my wife here?" ”
"Yes, she was not injured and was in the next room with our policewoman. I have something I want to talk to you about alone, and she has been hit hard, so let her be quiet first. Luo Chuan patted Zhang Wu on the shoulder.
Zhang Wu nodded, and followed Luo Chuan and Guan Shan to the room next to him.
After sitting for a while and letting Zhang Wu smoke a cigarette, Luo Chuan asked, "Why do you think Zhang Wen committed suicide?" Did he show any signs of depression and suicide before? ”
Zhang Wu shook his head and said, "My brother doesn't like to talk much, and he always likes to be alone. If we want to see it, his withdrawn appearance is already very much like depression. Some time ago, someone said kiss to him, but he seemed to refuse again. I don't know if it's an emotional problem, but he never told us! ”
Luo Chuan nodded, and asked again, "Does anyone often go to Zhang Wen's house as a guest?" Thinking of those strange shoes, Luo Chuan wanted to try to exclude suspicious people.
But Zhang Wu said: "No, at least I don't know." He didn't have many friends, and when I was a kid I went to play football, he would read in the shade of a tree. Because of his character, his family thinks he is very well-behaved. But I don't think my brother is happy like that, he doesn't even have a friend. If you think about it, the old man often says that three years old is big, and seven years old is old. He's been like this since he's been a kid, and how much can he change now! ”
"Zhang Wen texted your wife before committing suicide, not you, what do you think about this matter." Luo Chuan asked the point.
But Zhang Wen was not surprised and said: "He must have told my wife to take care of me and Xiaohui, we are the people he can't let go of." He knew I was grumpy and different from him. If he calls me or texts me that he's not alive, maybe he's not dead, and I'm just going to be hit by a car on the road and killed. My brother knows me too well......" In the end, Zhang Wu was speechless, tears couldn't stop flowing, and his eyes were red.
Guan Shan, who paid attention to psychological changes, pulled Luo Chuan down at this time, and then said to Zhang Wu: "Go and see your wife, she is frightened and needs you very much now." With that, Guan Shan asked the police officer next to him to take Zhang Wu to Xu Xiaoqing's room. Zhang Wu nodded indifferently and walked out expressionlessly.
Seeing that Luo Chuan's eyes were still following Zhang Wu's back, Guan Shan took him by the shoulders and brought him back to the room and said: "His emotions that are about to collapse now are true, sadness or not sadness will not be mentioned for the time being, if you continue to ask, it is estimated that one will die again in a day." You don't want that to happen, do you? Anyway, it seems that the deceased should not belong to the kind of organizational figure that Director Yang is worried about, so don't be too anxious and take your time. ”
