Chapter 63: Sad Man
On Saturday, the city's streets were not as busy and crowded as usual, and the off-road vehicles quickly arrived at the accident site.
It was a large fitness center, because someone had just died at noon, and it was a well-known female entrepreneur in the city, and some newspaper and TV reporters were still blocking the door.
According to the staff of the fitness center, the body has been pulled away and taken to the funeral home.
Lu Lingyun showed his police officer ID, and the staff had to let us in.
I walked beside him and asked weakly, "Brother Lu, shouldn't the corpse be autopsied?" ”
"This kind of obvious death in an accident is the responsibility of the funeral department as long as the doctor in charge of emergency and the police confirm it, and the family members are generally very resistant to forensic autopsy."
"Isn't this good, isn't it an accident?"
"So this requires the criminal police to have a sharper insight, and find out the slightest unusual, otherwise a life will be lost in vain, and more innocent people may be affected."
I listened intently, mentally jotting down every word he said.
We walked through the various areas of the gym, what yoga room, equipment area, badminton hall... Finally, arrive at the pool grounds.
A short 25-meter-long pool with a blue bottom-out water quality and a depth of three meters on the scale.
Lu Lingyun squatted by the pool and looked into the water, then looked up and looked around, and I squatted down to imitate him, recalling the scene of struggling in the nightmare.
"Did you find anything?" I asked.
Lu Lingyun shook his head and said, "The water is very clean, if someone hides in the water beforehand, they will definitely be discovered." ”
"Could it be a drainage problem?" I guess if someone could control that device, it might feel like they'd be sucked away.
"Let's go to the monitoring room and take a look." Lu Lingyun said and got up and pointed to the camera above his head.
Oh~~ Yes, the pool is not a bathhouse, there must be monitoring, why didn't I think of it.
When we arrived at the monitoring room, it was already full of people, including the manager and his subordinates in charge of security work in the fitness center, as well as seven or eight family members, some of whom were crying to death to beg for explanations, and some were calm and able to speak well, but the scene was still chaotic.
A lot of people were talking at the same time, and no one could hear what the others were saying. I was most afraid of this kind of thing, because in the past, a fight between two families in the village could quickly spread into a war between two families, and then I even forgot what the reason was in the first place.
Lu Lingyun had already seen this kind of battle, he dragged out an inconspicuous security guard from the crowd and said, "I am a police officer from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, you call me up the surveillance section where the accident happened at noon today." ”
The little security guard looked at the manager, he was afraid that he didn't have the time to deal with him.
"Okay."
We watched the video in a chaotic environment.
At 11:15, Liu Yajun came out of the women's locker room, she stayed by the pool in a crimson swimsuit for more than a minute, probably realizing that there were no staff and other members nearby, and finally chose to swim alone during this time.
At first she swam well, but at 11:23 she suddenly began to struggle in the water, she was so far from the edge that she tried to slap her arm a few times before she sank.
When everything was calm again, nothing was visible in the water except for the floating corpses.
There are no people and no water vortex suction, and it really seems like a simple accident.
Lu Lingyun made a copy of the video on his mobile phone, and he said that he would go to the funeral home to see the body, and I followed the whole process.
By the time we arrived at the funeral home on the outskirts of the city, it was already evening, and the cold climate and gloomy environment were really a place that sent chills down the spine.
Before we could reach the morgue, we heard the heart-rending wails from inside.
"Yajun, why are you willing to leave me alone!! You also told me that you would go to Australia to play together after the Spring Festival, and now that you are gone, what should I do! ~~~”
I could hear the voice of a young man, but I had never met a man who could cry so badly.
Pushing open the door of the morgue, there were two people standing inside, and a man sitting on the floor with his hands on the door of the freezer.
I looked at them, and they looked at me as well.
One of the two people standing was wearing the work clothes of the funeral home, the other was tall and thin, as if he was a family member, and the man on the ground was the one who was crying miserably.
With a fair face and handsome facial features, he is a very handsome guy if he wipes away his tears and snot.
Lu Lingyun asked the staff who came in with us to open the freezer, and he wanted to check the body.
"Who are you? I don't allow you to touch Yajun, Yajun is my wife, you dare to touch her, I will fight with you! The handsome guy on the ground stood up and blocked the freezer door.
"I'm a criminal police officer, and I won't be disrespectful to the deceased, I hope you can understand." Lu Lingyun explained.
"No!! Neither can the criminal police! Yajun can only be mine, I won't let you touch her! "The young man's excessive resistance aroused my suspicions, and the family should not be so agitated under normal circumstances.
Another man in the morgue spoke up, "Jayson, don't do this. ”
"Brother~~ Yajun is already dead, why can't you let her rest in peace."
"We have to cooperate with the police investigation." The man who was called his brother was the one who was quite sensible pulled him away from the freezer.
"Mr. Policeman, we're waiting outside."
Lu Lingyun nodded in response.
The staff removed the body from the freezer and put it on an empty bed, the cool air evaporated from the corpse, the bloodless face was like a sculpture, the beautiful face did not look like a woman in her forties at all, and the body under the white hood was still wearing a swimsuit.
"The family hasn't had time to prepare a shroud yet, so it's estimated that they will be able to change it later." An employee said calmly.
Lu Lingyun carefully examined the arm joints and ankles of the corpse, and his eyebrows tightened as if he was thinking about something.
"I'll go out and make a call." He said and walked away from the morgue quickly, I looked at the corpse and then at the two confused staff, and said embarrassedly: "Then ~~ wait for him for a while." ”
After a while, Lu Lingyun walked back, and he told me that Zhang Hui rushed over immediately and asked her to examine the body.
I asked curiously if there was anything I had found, and Lu Lingyun said that he was not sure, but it was a bit unusual judging from the stiffness of the corpse.
While waiting for the forensic medical examiner, we briefly asked the family to understand the situation.
The eldest of the two men is the deceased Liu Yajun's youngest husband Jayson, 26 years old, Chinese-American, met Liu Yajun in Washington 4 years ago, and the two just got married last year.
The other tall, thin man is Jayson's older brother Kai, 28 years old, and the two are brothers, but they don't look alike.
According to Kai, his brother had undergone several surgeries after meeting Liu Yajun, so Jayson looked more handsome.
Now that his brother's wife has died unexpectedly, he is also very sad and only hopes that everything will pass quickly.
