Chapter 50: The Deadly Coriander (7)
The house is not too big, the layout is clear at a glance, the TV in the living room is still on, but the people are gone. Luo Chuan first went to the bedroom to check the wardrobe, and then said to Guan Shan: "The clothes should not have been moved, it doesn't look like they left with luggage." ”
Avoiding leaving fingerprints anywhere, Guan Shan gently touched the tea set in the living room with the back of his hand and replied: "With the temperature of the weather now, they should have been walking for an hour." ”
The two little police officers who made a mistake looked at Luo Chuan blankly and didn't dare to speak. It wasn't until Luo Chuan walked around the room that one of them said tremblingly, "Team Luo...... I know that we shouldn't go shopping for food during working hours, and we shouldn't be negligent in letting Zhang Wu and them leave the house. But you see, as you said, all the clothes are there, so they shouldn't be going far away. Besides, his brother Zhang Wen is still lying in the forensic office, they shouldn't go too far......"
Luo Chuan replied to the police officer with a gloomy face: "It is because Zhang Wen is still in the forensic office that something more outrageous may happen!" If it was really Zhang Wu's murder, the only thing he could do if he couldn't stop the forensic examination was to take risks. Because he could have imagined that sooner or later, the forensic doctor would find evidence of his disguised self-immolation from Zhang Wen's corpse. The dumplings that caused Zhang Wen to suffer from anaphylactic shock could only be given by acquaintances. What's worse is that we don't yet know his motive for killing and can't tell what he's going to do next. Such an important suspect, thanks to the two of you, is now completely missing. ”
After listening to Luo Chuan's words, the two police officers lowered their heads even deeper. Guan Shan came over at this time and persuaded: "Forget Luo Chuan, no matter how you blame them now, things can't be changed." Although this is not a crime scene, let me see your ability to restore the scene, and talk about what the lives of Zhang Wu and Xu Xiaoqing are like. ”
Because he had walked through the entire house just now, now Luo Chuan said effortlessly: "The house is quite tidy, maybe Mrs. Zhang is right, Xu Xiaoqing is a woman who lives her duty." Even the rags in the kitchen are neatly folded by the sink, and the furniture looks like it's cleaned every day. The tableware and kitchenware are clean and ordinary, not too particular about people. But for children's tableware, they are particularly attentive, every small chopsticks, small spoons are very delicate and exquisite, and in order to avoid cross-infection with adults, children's supplies are placed in a separate cabinet. Photos of Xiaohui can be seen everywhere in the whole room, but there is no group photo or wedding photo of the husband and wife. There is a rectangular blank space on the wall at the head of the bed in the master bedroom. There is a difference with the color of other walls, and it is obvious that something has been hung there before. Needless to say, even if we didn't have a family, we could still imagine that it was the place to hang wedding photos. It can be seen that the boundary of the mark is still obvious, and it should have just been taken off. So I think that the relationship between this family of three is not as harmonious as it seems on the surface, the only thing they have in common is that they love Xiaohui very much, but there is a problem with the relationship between the husband and wife. ”
Guan Shan nodded appreciatively, then walked to the shoe cabinet at the entrance of the room and said, "This is Zhang Wu's shoes, do you remember Xiaoxue's identification and inference?" The person who wore the victim Zhang Wen's size 43 shoes should have a pair of size 41 feet. Look, 41 yards. Guan Shan pointed to the shoes on the ground, his expression complicated.
After that, Guan Shan walked to the dining table in the living room, looked at the food and snacks piled on the table, found the shopping receipt in the bag and said: "Judging from the time, the last time they bought snacks for their children was twenty days ago. Judging by the feeling that this house gives us, they should have pampered Xiaohui to a high degree. So what happened in those twenty days? Zhang Wu's restlessness is evident in this home, such as the bag he casually threw on the table, the crumpled cigarette case, the lighter he used full of oil sludge, and the pile of work papers that he obviously didn't care about. It can be seen that Zhang Wu's state is very bad, and his temperament is likely to have changed recently. But why couldn't his wife see it? Remembering Xu Xiaoqing's nervous expression when she even went to the police force to think about her husband before, it didn't look like the two of them had a conflict. Is it because Guan Shan himself didn't see the two of them get along with his own eyes? Or is it as Zhang Wu's mother said, Xu Xiaoqing is really too simple-minded......?
Luo Chuan smiled and said: "Actually, it's normal not to see it, some people are born with coarse nerves, and they won't be so keen to observe words and feelings, and even if they see it, they won't take it seriously." Can anyone marry someone like you? Good thing you're not a woman, otherwise it would be horrible! Just let you see your eyes, and you will know what is in my heart. Although husband and wife should be honest with each other, if one of them has such superpowers, I am afraid they will not be able to get along. ”
Guan Shan also smiled and didn't say anything more. What Luo Chuan said also makes sense, not everyone will be as sensitive as them. The reason why they are so sharp is because they are in the middle of a homicide, and if it were normal life, it is possible for anyone to ignore the occasional mood change of one party.
Luo Chuan looked at the direction of the bedroom and thought about it, and then said to himself: "In fact, if you want to know how the relationship status of a couple is, the most direct way may be to check the bedside table...... With Zhang Wu's current level of suspicion, it shouldn't be an invasion of his privacy if I go to see it, right? It's mostly for their good, I don't know what happened to him, how can he decide what to do next, right? Don't look at Luo Chuan's self-talk or questioning tone, but he didn't hesitate at all when he walked towards the bedside table.
Reaching out to open the drawer, Luo Chuan took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket and rummaged through some messy things inside. It's all underwear, paper supplies and other daily necessities. Both drawers were turned over, and nothing special was found. Luo Chuan seemed to be unwilling, and looked at the drawer in a daze.
Guan Shan didn't ask anything, just stood behind him and looked at him silently.
Luo Chuan tilted his head and looked at the drawer for a while, still muttering to himself, "Is there really nothing?" Why don't I believe it? As he spoke, he simply pulled out the entire drawer, took out all the contents and checked them again, turned the drawers over one by one, and checked them in all directions. In the end, he knelt in front of the bedside table, bent his waist, and got into the empty shelf, and finally smiled with satisfaction: "Guan Shan, just say it, I don't believe there is anything here!" This nightstand was the only place where there wasn't anything Zhang Wu had, and I knew it was a kind of avoidance. Come on, come on, and see what this is! ”
On the upper wooden board inside the cabinet, a few pieces of paper are glued with transparent glue. This ancient way of hiding things did not escape Luo Chuan's search.
Luo Chuan carefully tore off the paper, and then twisted his body and retreated from the small space.
Guan Shan picked up Luo Chuan and said reproachfully: "You said that you are tall and large, and you were stunned to get into the space of two drawers." Did you practice bone shrinking when you were a child? ”
Where can Luo Chuan still care about Guan Shan's reproach, he hurriedly opened the few pieces of paper, and looked at the contents with some excitement.
After looking at it for a while, Luo Chuan frowned and whispered, "This is ...... DNA test results? This question is redundant, how could he, as a criminal policeman, not know what he has in his hand? It's just that this is too different from the result he expected. He would rather believe in the more outrageous original sin than involve the innocent child.
It turned out that the source of his anger turned out to be the child...... No wonder. Guan Shan hurriedly took the pieces of paper, looked at them hurriedly, and said, "It's not just the identification results of one family, he has found several companies to confirm it repeatedly." ”
"Since Zhang Wu took Xiaohui to do a paternity test, how could Xu Xiaoqing not know? Why didn't you notice them before? Luo Chuan was surprised by his negligence.
Guan Shan shook his head and said, "Although these experts seem to be authoritative, they are not the judicial system. Because of our national conditions, the people who are doing this thing are still a very small minority among the minority. It is indeed troublesome to apply for this appraisal through a notary office, a lawyer, or a court, the procedure is complicated and cumbersome, the time is very long, and it will be in an uproar. Looking at Zhang Wu's approach, he obviously didn't want anyone to know, including Xu Xiaoqing. That's why he found a place for private appraisal and confirmed it repeatedly. ”
"If you have suspicions, why are you afraid that she will know? Is it afraid that she will refuse? According to the provisions of the Marriage Act, if one party proposes to do a paternity test and the other party refuses, the court will deal with it according to the circumstances. If the refusing party is unable to produce evidence or sufficient reasons for refusal, the court will presume that the party applying for appraisal has established its claim. So as long as Zhang Wu wants to, there is no possibility that he can't do it. Since he has done three or four of them, will he still be afraid of trouble and boiling? Luo Chuan looked at Guan Shan suspiciously.
Guan Shan smiled bitterly and said, "Unless, the person he suspects, he is unwilling to make it public." ”
"Is it Zhang Wen?" Luo Chuan gasped and felt that his breathing had become unsmooth! He couldn't tell why he felt so uncomfortable, but he remembered the way Zhang Wu knelt in the criminal police team and shouted at his brother, remembered Xiaohui's clear and innocent eyes, and remembered the smile of the old mother of the Zhang family when she mentioned her two sons...... Luo Chuan felt that his chest seemed to ache!
So Luo Chuan immediately snatched a few pieces of paper from Guan Shan's hand that might have carried the blood of life, and didn't think about any more causes and consequences, and directly looked at the appraisal results!
As a result, the appraisal results of the three or four appraisal centers were uniform. Only half of Xiaohui and Zhang Wu's DNA match.
Luo Chuan looked at the appraisal results in his hand in a daze, and asked with a little trembling in surprise: "Guan Shan...... What does half anastomosis mean? ”
Guan Shan also frowned, and said with some heaviness: "It proves that they are related by blood, but Xiaohui is not Zhang Wu's son." ”
"But if it's not his son, how can he be related by blood!" As soon as Luo Chuan asked this sentence, it was like a thunderbolt exploded in his mind.
Guan Shan lowered his head and sighed and said, "Half of it is consistent with Zhang Wu, and the other half should be consistent with Zhang Wu's brother, the real genetic father." ”
Zhang Wen...... No, Guan Shan, I don't think that's how things are. Although Luo Chuan was a little excited, what he said now was not entirely emotional. He felt that although he had not directly contacted the living Zhang Wen, judging from Xu Xiaoqing's state when he talked about Zhang Wen, it didn't look like he was having an adulterous affair at all! If there is that kind of ulterior relationship between them, no matter how well she disguises it, there will be a trace of shame and intimacy in her eyes. But Xu Xiaoqing didn't, she looked frank and unrestrained when she talked about her eldest brother Zhang Wen, how could this kind of thing happen? In addition, Zhang Wen Zhang Wu's mother, when she talked about her son's character, she did not have a trace of partiality and fabrication, with the Zhang Wen she said, could she do such a thing to her own brother?
But no matter what Luo Chuan thinks, the DNA identification results are here. It is an incredible confirmation of a seemingly impossible family scandal. Obviously, Zhang Wu already knew everything. In this way, there are reasonable explanations for why Zhang Wu sent away the child at five o'clock, why he bought four barrels of gasoline, why he refused a forensic autopsy, and why he disappeared out of thin air now.
"Yes...... Since this is the case, where did Xu Xiaoqing go? Luo Chuan was a little stunned by the impact of this DNA identification.
Guan Shan reminded Luo Chuan very rationally: "Zhang Wu must have known the results of this appraisal, so he killed his own brother." Do you remember what you asked me at the entrance of Zhangcun Village before? What could be more important than flesh and blood? I think it's more important ...... It's also flesh and blood. Because his flesh and blood suddenly became his brother's son, he was angry and killed Zhang Wen without leaving a way out. So, assuming this family scandal is real, then the adulterer is dead, who will be next? ”
"Silver, woman. Oops! The next one is Xu Xiaoqing! Luo Chuan grabbed the identification results in his hand and rushed out of the door like crazy, preparing to conduct a comprehensive search of all the places where Xu Xiaoqing and Zhang Wuneng went.
At this time, it was already half past eleven at night, but Luo Chuan's mobile phone rang at an inopportune time! It's Director Yang. Not knowing the outcome of this self-immolation case for a day, he could not sleep peacefully for a day.
"Luo Chuan, how is your investigation going? Tell me! As soon as Director Yang answered the phone, he was anxiously questioned.
Luo Chuan calmed down and replied, "Don't worry, this case is not what you feared." I can assure you that there is no organizational purpose. ”
Director Yang seemed to be relieved after hearing this: "In this way, there won't be a second self-immolation case, right?" "Director Yang has to get the most definite answer from Luo Chuan's mouth in order to be completely at ease.
But Luo Chuan was silent for a moment and said, "No, it's the opposite. A second self-immolation may be imminent......"
