Volume 3 Strange Fire Chapter 44 Modus operandi
There are poems in Dream of Red Mansions: When the fake is true, the truth is also false, and there is nowhere to do nothing......
"Why, then, did you estimate this? Also, those rare works seem to have been collected by Qianlong later? Song Yang was puzzled.
"That's right...... Where there is gathering, there is dispersion, and the same is true for collections. The Liang family has such an amazing collection, so that the Qing Dynasty emperor also coveted, so within three generations, the Liang family dissipated, "Zhengding County Chronicles" records, Liang Qingbiao's grandson Liang Bin, was sentenced by his boss to be greedy for public funds, handed over a large number of treasures, led to illness and returned to the field, the family declined, and the rest of the collection is also difficult to preserve. According to relevant historical records, in fact, since the death of Liang Qingbiao, his collection began to flow out in large quantities, and most of them entered the Qing Inner Mansion......"
"The emperors of the Qing Dynasty were all art lovers, and this is not to be seen." Song Yang said jokingly.
"That's right, too much wealth often harms children and grandchildren, and the Liang family also understood later, and took the initiative to deal with it everywhere...... Without wealth, the descendants scattered, and the descendants left Hebei, which was too close to Beijing, and came to Jinling, bought this house, and settled down......"
After talking about the origin of the entire Liang family, Song Qingmei is also a little tired, and there has been too much pressure for this matter in the past few days, although the company has not yet held it accountable, the insurance department that receives the order is naturally the largest, and she was the person in charge of evaluating the value of calligraphy and painting, and she advocated that the insurance amount of this list is very safe, and these collections are worth a lot of money, and now the pressure is naturally not small.
But if it can be proved that Liang Dazhi himself set the fire, then he does not have to bear the responsibility of paying the claim, and the other party is still fraudulent, the amount is huge, and it has violated the criminal law of the country.
"Sister Song, you seem to be very professional?"
"Hehe, my sister has been doing calligraphy and painting value evaluation after graduation."
"No wonder, go to your company, that computer is very critical, I need to find an expert to check ......"
"Those things are useless, they are all left in the old house, the computer has been tried, but it can't be turned on, besides, it is a very dilapidated old computer......" she was a little puzzled.
"Ah, it's still in the haunted house, as long as the hard drive isn't broken, don't worry, Sister Song, let's go......"
Looking at Song Yang's calm face and deep eyes, Song Qingmei felt that Song Yang was not untargeted.
She was driving a brand-new BMW mini, and the car was filled with a faint smell of perfume, which came to her nose, and Song Yang took two sips vigorously, well, it smelled good! But looking at the beauty sitting in the cab position, she is still worried.
After getting into the car, Song Yang called Ye Zi and asked her to come to the scene to check it out.
"It's all closed, what do you want?" Ye Zi, who rushed over, teased him.
Song Yang was silent, slowly and carefully searching in the haunted house......
Song Qingmei, who was following behind, walked heavily and became worried again.
In the bedroom at the scene of the fire, which was the starting point of the fire, it burned most thoroughly, and he saw some special burn marks on the ground.
"These burn marks are all paper, very complete, but don't you think, it's too much, and these papers are completely different from the paper of calligraphy and painting in the corner......
"It doesn't prove anything." Ye Zi still shook his head.
"Yes, you see, even though the bedroom is in the northernmost part of the yard, and the other room has a few pieces of glass smashed in the north window, and there are small stones thrown in on the ground, I think it's more like a deliberate scene...... Because if it was really burglary and arson, some of the things that the burglars in the house might be interested in didn't seem to have been touched, and they didn't look like burglary. ”
"That's true, but it's all your speculation."
"And, have you noticed, there are not many personal belongings in the house, as if they have been emptied......"
"You are suspicious of the policyholder, Liang Dazhi and his wife, there is an alibi......" Ye Zi said with little confidence.
"Alibi, hehe, not being there doesn't mean you can't commit a crime, I suspect that this fire is Liang Dazhi's deliberate arson!" This time, Song Yang answered very simply, because various information had basically confirmed his guess.
"Impossible!" Ye Zi smiled, "You, you really think of yourself as Sherlock Holmes, and you start talking nonsense...... "You know, how did Song Yang's reputation as a detective come about, no one knows better than her."
When she said this, even Song Qingmei couldn't help laughing.
Song Yang didn't answer her words, as if talking to himself, and as if explaining to them: "Usually, if you want to determine that an accident is arson and insurance fraud, you need to meet the following three elements at the same time:
1. This is a deliberate, man-made arson
2. The policyholder has sufficient opportunities and ability to carry out arson
3. The policyholder has a motive for arson......
Am I right? ”
"That's right!" Ye Zi will not give up eating because of choking, and he will not admit it if it is reasonable.
Song Qingmei also nodded, but she said, "However, these three points are not true, the fire department did not find arson, and the most important thing is that you suspect that Liang Dazhi deliberately set fire, but he flew to Shenzhen that afternoon to record ironclad." Besides, he is a boss and relatively rich, so he won't want to cheat the insurance, as if he doesn't have this motive? ”
Song Yang smiled, "It's all appearance...... You don't have to worry, listen to me, the arson scene is at your feet, although there is no obvious evidence, next, we have to investigate the second element: since her wife was far away in the sky when the fire broke out, Liang Dazhi was also thousands of miles away. If he set the fire. He paused.
Ye Zi didn't think much about it, and touched his forehead, "It's okay, I don't have a fever......"
Song Yang gently slapped her little hand away, "You may not have the answer to the question just now, it doesn't mean that I don't, let me tell you, I have already guessed the basic method of arson...... Tomorrow morning, you call Captain Qin to Sister Song's office, and I will tell you everything clearly......"
"What?" Ye Zi was taken aback, "Really not kidding?" How can it be? ”
"What's the joke when I'm full? Tomorrow, tomorrow, you will have an epiphany......" Song Yang has a picture of heaven that cannot be revealed.
****************************
Han Xue was very unkind to Song Yang, which was completely different from her gentle generosity when she was usually in the studio.
She couldn't hold back the anger in her heart, "You called us early in the morning, saying that you found the most important thing, which can prove that this is an arson fraud case, is it just for me to shoot this broken computer?" ……”
"Hehe, don't worry, Host Han, this is the most important introduction and the most important criminal tool. We're going to shoot the haunted house in a few days, and I promise you'll be going to be suspenseful and captivating this time...... Come, let me introduce you first, this is Professor Deng of Jinshi University, a computer master, the youngest and most promising full professor; This is Captain Qin Xiao and Officer Ye Zi of the substation...... Director Song, Sister Song, you have known each other for a long time, so you don't need to introduce it again. ”
Song Qingmei stretched out her hand, "Host Han is also the first time to come to me, this time, I really want to thank you for introducing Song Yang to me......"
Song Yang smiled, this sounds a little ambiguous.
Han Xue stretched out her hand, her eyes looked left and right between Song Yang and Song Chu, "What, is there really another story?" ”
"Yes, host Han Da, I have watched your show many times, but I didn't expect to see a real person this time, this desktop computer was found in the ruins of the study in the bedroom of the haunted house, and its appearance has been burned down......," Professor Deng said, "But Song Yang removed the hard disk of this computer and sent it to me yesterday to see if he could investigate any useful clues...... Fortunately, although the computer was burned, the hard drive was not damaged, and all kinds of records were still ...... I found a special remote control software in the hard drive, and the computer's log records also showed that the computer was still on the night of the fire. Not only was it on, but it was also running the remote control software, and an IBM laptop was logged in through this remote control software that night. In addition, this printer, which was completely burned down and could not see what it was, was also found next to the computer in the ruins of the study......"
"What does this prove?" Ye Zi was the first to ask anxiously.
"These two alone really don't mean anything, but in addition, the method of arson is about to come out......" Song Yang took out a toy circuit board from his bag.
"What is this? Toys? Han Xue asked suspiciously.
"It's not bad at all, it's really a toy, I bought it on Zhujiang Road, which is the key point of this case." Song Yang explained, "This is an electronic circuit toy that primary and secondary school students can play with, and they can be assembled by hand...... Install four No. 5 alkaline batteries, turn on the switch, this place, if you put a light bulb, you can emit light, put a resistance wire, you can measure the voltage and current, but if you put a heating wire, it will heat up and burn out, that is, as long as it is close to flammable materials such as paper scraps, it will burn up......"
Song Yang took out a plastic bag from his bag again, and there was a burned black board in it, but it could basically be seen that it should be similar to this, "This is what I found next to the printer, although it is no longer burned, but it can barely be seen...... Hehe, on Zhujiang Road, there are still a lot of such toys ......"
"So, what does it have to do with that?" Han Xue pointed to the computer, she was still puzzled, "The computer never pushes the switch by itself?" ”
