Chapter VI

"Team Moe!!"

When Sun Meng's car drove into the Walnut Ridge community, it was already completely dark. Gu Xiang, who had been waiting here for a long time, hurriedly walked over.

Walnut Ridge Community is located at the southern foot of Jishou Mountain in Tanigawa City, and is one of the seven high-end residential areas in Tanigawa City. This fully enclosed complex has round-the-clock surveillance and security guards who patrol at all times. The east side of the community is close to the second expressway of Tanigawa Airport, and the level of residents is relatively high.

Sun Meng parked the car and walked down to meet Gu Xiang. The scene in front of him made him instantly understand the meaning of "sky-high prices of houses in Tanigawa City" in people's mouths: at night, the lights in the Walnut Ridge community were brilliant, like day.

He looked up. Although the community is full of trees and shrubs, the regular direction of the real estate still allows him to easily find the location of the crime site. Outside the piercing cordon, a large number of onlookers have gathered at this moment.

"What's going on?" Sun Meng walked towards the scene of the crime and asked Gu Xiang at the same time.

"The body was found in Room 1302, Building 29, Phase II of this community." Gu Xiang briefly introduced the situation at the scene.

"The deceased was a man, aged about 40 years old, and Dachao is investigating the specific time of death above."

"Huh? What about Lao Li? Sun Meng stopped, looking a little surprised.

"There is a petition case on the side of the provincial department that may need to be re-autopsied. In the letter sent to the bureau in the afternoon, after Shen Ziyi's Bentley trace identification report came out, Uncle Li took Zhou Kai to the province. ”

"How old is Lao Li, and the provincial department still tosses him so much... Can't we Pingjiang produce a few more forensic doctors of Lao Li's level? Sun Meng frowned, and twisted his chin with his right hand. Who was the first to find the body? ”

"The neighbor of the deceased to the door." Gu Xiang took out the notebook in his arms, which was densely filled with reports: "This morning, when the deceased's neighbor went out for a walk, he found a strong pungent smell in the corridor. At first, he didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was just someone's sewer that was flooding, after all, it was normal for him to smell bigger. ”

"And then?" Sun Meng carefully observed the situation around the community.

But until this evening, the smell was getting louder and more pungent, and the neighbor of the deceased remembered that he had not seen the deceased himself for almost three days, so he tentatively knocked on the door of the deceased's house, but no one answered. The neighbor of the deceased suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, so he hurriedly called the police. ”

"Has the deceased been identified?"

Gu Xiang nodded: "It's basically certain." We learned from the mouth of the deceased's neighbors that the deceased was a professor at Tanigawa University named He Shipeng. ”

It's not Shen Ziyi, which made Sun Meng breathe a sigh of relief. However, in Tanigawa City, where the security rate is as high as 90%, the discovery of such a corpse in a community with a high reputation and such strict security measures still makes Sun Meng's heart faintly heavy.

Tanigawa City is located in the scenic Pyongjiang Province in the southwest of the country M. The unique landform of three mountains and one river has created the unique climatic characteristics of Tanigawa's "rain city". The average temperature throughout the year is between 23 degrees. A torrential rain stopped, and the air was filled with the fragrance of the rain. More and more residents who came out after dinner to enjoy the cool gathered outside the cordon at the entrance of the community unit. Everyone exchanged heads and talked about it.

Sun Meng raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and it was seven thirty o'clock in the evening.

"Moe team! The specific details will wait for you to arrive at the scene and let Dachao introduce it. Let's go upstairs now? Gu Xiang said, took out a mask and a sterile cap from his pocket and handed them to Sun Meng.

"Wait and go up, I'll see the reporter first!" The high-rise buildings of the second phase of Walnut Ridge are all facing the street on the north side, so almost the first floor is used as a store room, so there are halls with similar patterns in these buildings in the second phase. Sun Meng lifted the cordon and walked into the hall on the first floor, where several young policemen nodded to him.

Gu Xiang, who was walking behind, motioned to one of the auxiliary police officers to notify the informant sitting in the police car. It didn't take long for the deceased's neighbor to come to Sun Meng accompanied by the beautiful policewoman Hua Chen Yating of the Public Security Bureau.

"Hello, introduce yourself," Sun Meng politely stretched out his right hand: "I am Sun Meng, deputy captain of the criminal police team of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, how do you call you?" The short and clear opening remarks are in line with Sun Meng's clean and neat style.

"Oh, hey, hello. My name is Guo Song. The unexplained death of a neighbor just across the ladder from him at home obviously made the little old man with crow's feet in the corners of his eyes palpitate. Sun Meng could clearly feel his hands trembling slightly.

"Don't be nervous, we're just asking routinely, after all, you're the one who reported the crime." Sun Meng calmly held Guo Song's hand, smiling, trying to calm him down. At the same time, he did not forget to look at Guo Song carefully.

"Hmm..."Guo Song swallowed hard, calming his mood a little.

"Well, do you have as much detail as possible about the deceased himself?" Sun Meng took out his notebook and pulled out the gel pen clipped on it to prepare for the record.

"Ahhh Guo Song pushed the reading glasses on his eyes, thought for a while, and said slowly: "Lao He's name is He Shipeng, and he is a professor at the Department of Medicine of Tanigawa University. We all moved in after the delivery of the second phase of this community, and we have been neighbors for more than three years. Lao He left me with the impression that he was very elegant, not to mention his speech and demeanor, or treating people and things, especially with his neighbors. Guo Song's mouth was full of praise for He Shipeng.

Sun Meng couldn't help nodding and wrote down every word Guo Song said in his notebook.

"Lao He is still the deputy director of the Department of Orthopedics of the First Hospital of Tanigawa City, with superb medical skills, and it is said that his reputation is also quite good. Many of the pennants hung in his home were given to him by the patient's family. He seems to be more than 8 years younger than me, and I have always treated him like a younger brother. ”

"How much do you know about his family?" Sun Meng raised his head and looked at Guo Song and asked.

"Ah, Lao He has a daughter-in-law, and they have been divorced for almost ten years. They also don't have children. Guo Song frowned, his eyes subconsciously looking at his lower left.

"So he's been living here alone?"

"Yes."

"Did the deceased ever mention the reason for the divorce to you?" Sun Meng continued to ask.

Lao He didn't mention much about his ex-wife, and we only vaguely knew something about this woman in his occasional one-sided words. It seems that the woman is a Xinji person, and she has a big temper, and then they often quarrel, and when the quarrel arises, the woman will do something to him. ”

The corners of Sun Meng's mouth twitched slightly: "So in the recent past, have you noticed whether anyone else has ever been in and out of the deceased's house?" ”

"Probably not... I'm not sure about that. Guo Song rubbed his nose, "You also know that their doctors' schedules must be different from those of us retired old men and old ladies." ”

"Hmm... Okay, thank you for your cooperation. I will go up to see the scene first, and if there is anything I need to know from you in the future, I hope you will continue to cooperate with us. Sun Meng closed the notebook, put on a mask and hat, and nodded and beckoned Gu Xiang to come over and walk up the elevator together. The building has three elevators, one of which is in the deepest part of the corridor.

"Officer Sun!!" Guo Song suddenly turned back to the elevator as if he suddenly remembered something.

"What's wrong?" Sun Meng violently blocked the elevator door that was about to close with his hand and leaned out.

"Ah, nothing, nothing..."Guo Song nodded a little embarrassedly, turned around and followed Chen Yating back into the police car.

"Moe team! I always felt a little strange about him. In the elevator, Gu Xiang looked fixedly at the blurred silhouette of the two people reflected on the elevator door in front of him, and sighed.

"Why?"

"Hey! Intuitively..."Gu Xiang stretched out his hands vigorously, looking a little annoyed: "When we received a report to investigate the scene of the routine questioning of him, he was also like this just now, looking left and right and wanting to speak. ”

"I'll talk about it when I see the scene. What's the situation like on site? Sun Meng put on latex gloves.

"Scene..."

"Ding Dong"

Before Sun Meng noticed the subtle change in the expression on Gu Xiang's face, the elevator had already come to the 13th floor. After Sun Meng walked out of the elevator door, he saw Room 1302 on the right side of the elevator hall. It's an unimaginable space. Because not only is it really much larger than the general elevator room, but although it is a layout of one elevator and three households, the doors of the three houses have a depth from the elevator room. This greatly increases the privacy of each home.

Sun Meng stopped and sniffed vigorously, and immediately frowned. He looked up, then put on his shoe covers and walked along the survey pedal into the central field.

In the center site, several survey lights are dangling, and Zhang Zhichao is fixing the traces.

He Shipeng's room is a duplex structure with two bedrooms in the north and south with an attic. The rooms add up to almost 200 square meters, all of which are European-style decoration, and the room looks graceful and atmospheric. A water dispenser is placed in the center of the room. The wall behind the water dispenser is covered with all kinds of pennants. Most of the above praise He Shipeng's superb medical skills. The classic dining table and chairs leaning against the corner of the room add a touch of elegance to the room. It can be seen that the owner of the room is still very particular about the taste of life.

"What's the situation?" After nodding to Zhang Zhichao, Sun Meng went straight to the point.

"The body was found in the bedroom on the south side." Zhang Zhichao stood up and introduced.

"The body was found in a prone position on the bed, with its head facing east and feet facing west. The corpse was spasmodic. Half of the blanket on the bed was over the deceased, who was wearing only underwear. The deceased's urine was found on the bed and vomit was present next to the bed. We deduced from the scene that the time of death of the deceased should have been between 9 and 11 o'clock last night. ”

While speaking, Sun Meng came to the south bedroom, and at a glance saw the corpse on the bed that had been fixed with traces. A fishy stench rushed to the mouth and nose. Sun Meng squinted and frowned, holding his chin with his right hand thoughtfully.

"After a careful investigation of the scene, we found that the deceased's belongings were there. And there were indeed no signs of the house being turned over, so the possibility of burglary was ruled out. In addition, we learned from the neighbors around the deceased that the deceased had a good temper and popularity, and they also said that they had not heard of any enemies of the deceased. Therefore, we combined that there were no traces of a fight at the scene, and the possibility of vendetta was temporarily ruled out. ”

"Not for money, no hatred," Sun Meng muttered softly, "then who would kill a university professor?" ”

"So the cute team..."Zhang Zhichao also seemed a little cautious.

Sun Meng walked to the front of an inconspicuous baseboard in the hall, chiseled a small piece of wall skin from above, put it in his hand, and gently twisted it while carefully observing the wall. "Steel-concrete structure".

Sun Meng nodded, stood up and asked coldly, "What is the cause of death?" ”

"We detected excessive amounts of acetylsalicylic acid from the deceased's vomit and from the thermos cup at the bedside..."
