If this is said by someone else, it is estimated that Tang Hongye and Du Juan will definitely be regarded as crazy, at least they are not very normal people, after all, it is indoors, or a bedroom, the body of the deceased is lying on a very dry sheet and bedding, this room is dried and hot by electric heating, to say that people are too hot to cause dehydration and death, it is possible that some people believe it, drowning This statement is really a bit nonsensical.

But if the person who said this was Forensic Doctor Liu, then no one would think he was joking.

"Can you elaborate on that?" Tang Hongye asked, he knew what the reason for Forensic Doctor Liu to say that, the deceased was either drowned and put here, and the cuckoo's room was not the first scene, or the deceased died for some reason, and the appearance of death was the same as that of drowning.

"I don't know if you have paid close attention to the deceased, there are some blisters on the surface of the deceased's skin, and there is some accumulated fluid in the mouth, and there is no autopsy yet, but it can be judged from this that there must be fluid accumulation in the lungs normally, because the trachea is damaged and edema, resulting in fluid accumulation in the respiratory tract and lungs, which is the same as drowning a person alive." Forensic doctor Liu explained to Tang Hongye and Du Juan, "It can be preliminarily determined that the deceased should have inhaled toxic [HX] gas. If the deceased had been discovered relatively soon after his death, the smell in the room might not have dissipated, but now that two days have passed, the temperature in the room is high, and the only thing that is more obvious in the house is the rancid smell of the deceased. ”

"Toxic [HX] gas?" Tang Hongye frowned, looked at the cuckoo's room, the room itself is relatively small, the space is not large, the door is relatively tight, although it is not closed, but the door gap is not big, and the other is a small window for lighting, but because of the cold weather, the heating and warmth of this old building are more problematic, so the cuckoo sealed the window with plastic film before winter, coupled with the factor of the floor, basically the probability of someone putting in toxic [HX] gas from the outside is zero.

Forensic Doctor Liu saw that he looked at the window, and he also knew what Tang Hongye's doubts were: "From the perspective of the environment at the scene of the crime, it does not necessarily have to be a gas directly, and the possibility of liquid volatilization is relatively large. ”

The cuckoo looked around the things in the room, after all, this is where she has lived for a while, so no one will be more familiar with the furnishings and sundries in the room than her, just a cursory glance, she immediately made a discovery, stretched out her hand to the window and pointed: "This thing is not mine." ”

Tang Hongye and Forensic Doctor Liu looked in the direction of her finger and found that under the bed near the head of the bed, it was half covered by a sheet, but it could still be seen that there was a red plastic bucket there, the size was not large, only about thirty centimeters high, if it wasn't pointed out by the cuckoo, judging from the location of the plastic bucket, it would be basically difficult for people to find it at a glance.

Forensic doctor Liu went over and took out the bucket, the small plastic bucket was quite heavy, it contained some liquid, he fanned the mouth of the plastic bucket with his hand, sniffed it carefully, frowned, seemed to have realized something, but did not express his opinion immediately, but carefully handed the plastic bucket to the person next to him, so that the other party could properly store it, and prepare to take it back for further testing.

"Can you get in touch with the guest in that room?" Tang Hongye asked Du Juan.

Cuckoo shook his head: "Usually there are very few intersections, and we are the kind of people who don't like each other, so I don't even know what their names are, but I can try to contact the landlord, anyway, the landlord should always have the names and contact information of those two people." ”

"Doesn't your landlord never answer your phone?" Tang Hongye was a little worried.

Du Juan doesn't have that kind of concern: "It's really difficult to contact the landlord usually, most of the time I'm pretending that I don't exist, I'm afraid that I need to come to the door to solve some problems, but my house is about to expire, if I take the initiative to contact at this time, according to normal logic, nine times out of ten it is to renew the lease, otherwise they should urge me to renew the lease after it expires, so I should answer my call." ”

"Then you can call and ask first, if you don't answer, let's find a way to find it directly." Tang Hongye knew that Du Juan was very unhappy living in this house, so he didn't have much hope.

Du Juan called up the landlord's contact information from the mobile phone, called the phone, the phone rang for a long time, and even when she felt a little unconfident, the phone was really connected.

The landlord initially received a call from Du Juan, and his mood seemed to be quite good, thinking that this was a call to renew the lease on his own initiative, but as soon as he heard that there was a life lawsuit in the house, his first reaction was that he thought it was a famous hall made by Du Juan in order not to renew the lease, and the cuckoo was almost angry, and then he was skeptical, but he finally agreed to come here as soon as possible, and then deal with it on the spot after something went to the scene.

About an hour later, the landlord still hasn't arrived, Du Juan called to inquire and only said that he was still on the way, and the attitude was not particularly good, and the on-site processing work could not be left alone because the landlord was delayed, so everything went on as usual, the body of the deceased had been loaded and transported back to the Public Security Bureau, leaving only a photo taken by Tang Hongye to help the landlord identify the identity of the deceased, and the others should leave, Tang Hongye and Du Juan naturally stayed and waited for the landlord to come and learn about the situation from the landlord.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, a couple in their thirties came to the scene of the crime, the two of them were the landlords of the cuckoo, the owners of the house, the couple were not tall, the man was short and fat, with a big head, big eyes and a big mouth, looking a little submissive, looking a little assertive, the woman was petite, with a small nose and small eyes and a small mouth, and her eyes were full of shrewdness. There was no warmth in his eyes.

"What's going on, girl?" She greeted the cuckoo in a weird tone, seemingly warmly, and said, "Our house has been rented for so long before, and there is nothing to do, why have you moved in for such a short time, and now there is such a big commotion?" Ouch, you girl is really, I knew it would be like this, how much money you gave us in the first place, we wouldn't rent it to you! ”

Tang Hongye heard her words, frowned, and without waiting for Du Juan to respond, he took the first step to show his ID and asked, "What do you call the two?" Which of you knows more about your guests? ”

"My name is Li Jia, my name is on the house certificate, and the people who rent our house are all girls, so I guess I know a little more than your brother-in-law, just ask me if you have anything." The landlady opened her mouth and said, I don't know if she likes to be close to others when she speaks, or what, obviously she has never known Tang Hongye in her life, even Du Juan, who is a tenant, is meeting her for the first time this time, but she can use such affectionate words to talk to them, and no matter how affectionate the wording is, there is always a feeling of discomfort in the tone and demeanor.

"Do you recognize this person?" Tang Hongye took out his mobile phone and handed it over to them to see, and the screen was a facial photo of the deceased that Fang had just taken, and he could see the person's appearance clearly.

Li Jia and his wife looked at Tang Hongye's mobile phone screen defenselessly, and after seeing the photo, the two realized that this should be the deceased mentioned by Fang Cai Du Juan on the phone, and suddenly his face changed color, especially Li Jia's reaction was greater, ouch, he screamed, covered his eyes and turned away.

"Oh my mother! Husband! Did I see a dead man? OMG! Scared the hell out of me! Her voice didn't sound like it was really frightened, but rather contrived.

Her husband put one hand around her shoulder, as if he was more scared than his own wife, who was yelling at her, and Rao had a darker complexion, but he could still see that there was not much blood on his face.

"Y-What are you doing?" There was a slight trilling in his voice, "What's wrong with it?" Why show us pictures of dead people? My wife has not been very bold since she was a child, if you scare her, I tell you, I want to go to your unit to complain about you! ”

"This is just a normal identification procedure, and we didn't show you any horrible photos," Tang Hongye stared at the two couples in front of him expressionlessly, "We have confirmed on Du Juan's side, she doesn't know the deceased at all, and she has never seen it, but this person she has never seen before was able to enter the house when she didn't come back from a business trip and overtime for a few days, and died in her rented bedroom, of course, we also have reason to suspect that this person may be an acquaintance of your owner, Or some acquaintance of another tenant. Based on the above two possibilities, we must identify and eliminate you as soon as possible, just like the cuckoo, there is no problem with the working procedures, and if you want to complain, we will not block it. ”

Tang Hongye is in a state of smiling most of the time, always giggling on weekdays, and rarely when he is really angry and has a straight face, even if he occasionally has a serious expression, it is mostly bluffing. But right now, his unkind face didn't mean to bluff anyone at all, but he was really unhappy.

Originally, he didn't have a good impression of the landlord of the cuckoo, and felt that this kind of landlord who was more active than anyone else when collecting money, and then hid and pretended to evaporate from the world was really not very authentic.

When he said this, the confidence of the men's fang Dongfang to shout that he wanted to complain was also a little insufficient, he pursed his lips, and then said: "We haven't seen this person either, we don't know each other at all, it has nothing to do with us!" This is my house! Do you know how much this house is worth in this area? There is a lot of room for appreciation! Whether it is renting or selling, it is very profitable, and if you catch up with the move in a few years, it will be worth more money! Are the two of us crazy to get some messy people back in our own house, and let people die at home, and turn one of our own good houses into a murderous house? ”

"What about you? Haven't you seen the dead man yet? Tang Hongye ignored the mess he said, and asked the landlady who had just turned around from her husband's arms with a serious attitude.

The landlady nodded with a white face: "Of course I don't know each other anymore!" You are now looking for us to come over with such an aggressive attitude, we have suffered the most in this matter, and we don't know who to talk to! ”

"We are now doing a criminal investigation, not an insurance company's claims investigation, and it is not our responsibility to know who suffers the most, and you don't have to stress about it all the time." Tang Hongye glanced at her, "If you don't know this person either, then give us the name and phone number of the tenant in the other room." ”

"We don't seem to have that person's contact number." The landlady was quick to answer this time.

The cuckoo never had a chance to interject, and he couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "How is it possible?" When I rented a house, my colleague handled it for me, but you asked her for a copy of my ID card, and she also wrote my mobile phone number on the contract and gave it to you. Is there still such a big gap between the standards and requirements of these two rooms when you rent them? How is it possible not to know anything? ”

"Who are you trying to cover?" Tang Hongye squinted his eyes and looked at the landlord and his wife.

"Don't talk nonsense, who are we covering?!" The male landlord belonged to the category that was more uncomposed, and he was a little anxious when he heard this, "We are also related to Chen Feifei who lives in that house, and now that we encounter such a big thing, how can we cover up anything for her!" It's just that we're a little scared of her now, afraid that she will come back and trouble us again! We rented the house to her in the first place, and now the boss regrets it! At the beginning, she made a mess in the house, and always brought people back to make crazy trouble, and was complained by the neighbors, and we all wanted to kick her out, but the person was not reasonable at all, she was a shrew, and we couldn't stand the trouble! With such a person, we will cover for her? No kidding! When I came, I was thinking all the way, it was better to quarrel with her to the end, and if I got out early, there might be nothing! ”
