Walking out of Xia Liang's white Accord, Zhu Ansheng took out a pack of red double happiness from his suit pocket.

Before he lit a cigarette, his nose was filled with a rich smell of sea. Walking through the bustling flow of people, Zhu Ansheng squinted his eyes and looked at the dazzling and crooked signboards on the road. The "meal" in "fast food" is written as "歺", and the "ice" in "ice cube" is a little more, and it is written as "氵水".

This is the old town, mixed with fish and dragons, and the signboards are interspersed between the arcades, which has a very down-to-earth punk flavor.

In such a messy place, there will be no surveillance.

The cold storage is not far away, only a section of the street market, and it is turned into the alley. The cordon was drawn on the other end, and there were still officers guarding them, with notes in their hands.

Zhu Ansheng snuffed out only a third of the cigarette he had smoked on the mossy wall, cut off the front of his head with his hand, and put the remaining half into his pocket. Squeezed out an eager smile and walked forward.

"Yo, Lao Lin, it's you."

The police officer who was called Lao Lin turned his head and saw him, with a bitter look on his face:

"Why are you again?"

Before Zhu Ansheng became an Interpol, he had spent a long time in the Guangzhou Public Security Criminal Police Department, and he was an old acquaintance with the old people in these bureaus.

Zhu Ansheng said a few words with a haha, "Eat food to scare my sister (eat mixed rice)", and put his shoulders on his shoulders with hairy hands:

"How's the investigation going?"

Officer Lin twitched out of the corner of his eyes and moved his police hat:

"I told you not to mess around, I'm in trouble when you come in."

He looked around and lowered his voice: "Team Xing is still five minutes away." ”

"Five minutes is enough. Don't you know what I'm doing and eating? Don't worry, I'll just go in and have a look. One more person, one more effort, right? I'll help you, you help me, hello, I'm good, everyone's okay......"

Zhu Ansheng said bitterly and nagged for a while, Officer Lin twitched the corners of his mouth, hesitated for a while, and moved his lips quietly:

"You can do it yourself, and if Team Xing gets my head, I'll go to your office and beat you."

Zhu Ansheng smiled all over his face, and Officer Lin coughed a few more times and pulled the cordon:

"Ah Liang, I'll go to the toilet, you can watch it for me for five minutes."

Xia Liang couldn't help but nod in agreement.

After some tossing, Zhu Ansheng finally came to the scene.

He stood in front of the cold storage and took a look: this is a horizontal sliding door, the sealing is much better than the ordinary double door and roller shutter door, the height is about 1.8 meters, and you can touch the top with a little stretch of hand.

Looking inside, the view is obscured by a stainless steel shelf about the size of two wardrobes, with no wheels underneath, which looks rather heavy — and not the kind with a cutout in the middle.

There are gaps between the shelves, but only children can get through them.

This is obviously the shelf that the three of them pushed together to block the gate last night. Zhu Ansheng frowned slightly, he knew that the position of the shelf had been moved by the police, leaving a gap for the stretcher, thinking that the shelf was moved in order to remove the body.

A chill hit his face, and he shivered and put his hand in his pocket.

The cold store's electric switch has been reopened. First, it is to turn on the lights to collect clues, and secondly, the frozen fish stored in the cold storage has gradually softened after being placed overnight, and has begun to emit an uncomfortable smell.

I wish Ansheng to go inside. Turning the corner, a forensic expert in a white coat and a mask came into view.

"You'd better put on shoe covers first, the temperature difference changes, the floor seeps water, and there are a lot of footprints......"

The criminal investigation expert who was collecting fingerprints turned his head and was talking, Zhu Ansheng had a smile on his face, and he walked like a fly:

"Yo, Xiao Jiang, it's you who came this time......"

Before he finished speaking, his whole body suddenly dropped a lot, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks, his facial features twisted.

The criminal investigation expert named Xiao Jiang pushed his glasses, and then finished the interrupted words:

“…… And the ground will be slippery. ”

Xia Liang grinned, helped Zhu Ansheng up, and went out to get plastic shoe covers.

Zhu Ansheng bypassed the obvious footprints on the ground, squatted next to the criminal investigation expert surnamed Najiang, and sneered:

"Xiao Jiang, how is the situation?"

"I knew you'd come, brother." Xiao Jiang and Zhu Ansheng studied at the same police academy, six or seven years younger than him. Since Zhu Ansheng changed careers to become a private detective, he often finds all kinds of reasons to appear at some bizarre crime scenes, and over time the two become acquainted. He asked Zhu Ansheng:

"How much do you know about the case?"

"Xia Liang basically talked about it once."

When Xiao Jiang heard this, he turned his head and glanced at him:

"Then tell me something you don't know. As far as I know, this case is interesting. ”

"You say."

"After toxicological testing, chloroform was detected in the respiratory tract of the security guard and the owner of the fish shop, and it was almost certain that chloroform was used to stun them. However, judging from the autopsy report of the deceased, the remaining ingredient in his body was sleeping pills. ”

Zhu Ansheng raised his eyebrows. Xiao Jiang said slowly:

"The person who stunned Security Liu and Boss Zhang...... Let's call them attackers. He attacked two 'residents' in the neighborhood with chloroform, and used sleeping pills on the unidentified deceased. What do you think? ”

Xia Liang's voice came from behind him:

"If the attacker's intention was to murder and re-blame, he should have known the deceased. The use of sleeping pills on the deceased indicates that the deceased should be in an environment where they are not easily attacked, and if they are taken away directly with chloroform, they may arouse suspicion......"

Zhu Ansheng shook his head:

"Your speculation is too subjective, and sometimes it's easy to be led in the wrong direction."

He paused, glanced at Xia Liang, and said meaningfully.

"The first thing to be sure is - the sleeping pills, is it really the attacker who let the deceased eat it?"

Xia Liang was stunned and said with a wry smile: "Brother-in-law, you are too good, aren't you?" ”

Xiao Jiang put the fingerprint collection tool in his pocket. Say:

"What he said is not without reason. The deceased had been dead for more than 12 hours, and the residue of sleeping pills could still be detected, indicating that the dose he was taking was not small, at least definitely not the dose taken by ordinary people to help sleep. ”

"Moreover, the deceased's stomach was empty and there was no food in his intestines, and he should have not eaten for 24 hours before he died, which is very unusual...... I'm afraid there are signs of suicide......"

"Wait, you said the deceased had been dead for 12 hours?" Zhu Ansheng glanced down at his watch, and it was close to 12 noon at this time.

Xiao Jiang pushed his glasses with the back of his hand again:

"To be exact, it was 'at least' to die for 12 hours, because the body had been in the cold storage for too long, showing a frostbite reaction, and the kidneys were also failing, there was no way to accurately analyze the time of death, but 12 hours was only a little more."

"In other words, the murderer was killed at around 0:00 this morning......" Xia Liang screamed, and suddenly his eyes lit up:

"The time they entered the cold storage was at half past ten last night...... The coma caused by inhaling a large amount of chloroform in a short period of time will not be too long, only an hour at most, and the three of them should have woken up between eleven and half past eleven, and then banged on the door......"

The criminal investigation expert surnamed Jiang nodded and added:

"Sleeping pills need to enter the alkaline intestine to work, and they generally reach the peak of blood concentration in half an hour, and the half-life is 3 to 6 hours. From this, the deceased should have been in a coma for about five or six hours before Zhang Jianhong was stunned and locked in cold storage. This is a very important clue...... Just find out the identity of the deceased, and find out who he came into contact with in the half day before he died......"

Zhu Ansheng stood up without saying a word, and he didn't know if he was listening to the inferences of the two people, put his hands in his pockets, and began to look around the cold storage, studying the footprints on the ground due to the wet snowmelt.

The shoe prints were rather scattered, but they were still roughly recognizable due to the different shoes worn by the three men.

Zhu Ansheng frowned, and his gaze moved to the shelf next to him.

The shelves in the cold storage are all in the same style, except for the one that was moved to the door, the rest have not been touched, and they are neatly arranged in the warehouse. There are many white plastic boxes with frozen fish inside.

He raised his head and looked behind him sneakily, Xia Liang and Expert Jiang were still discussing the identity of the deceased.

He walked into the cold storage.
