Chapter 6: The Three Men Meet
It was already nine o'clock in the evening, and in the office, Wei Zhongwen was anxious at this time.
After the two came back from Feng Ming's side, Wei Zhongwen got in touch with Chen Xi as soon as possible, and after exchanging information, Chen Xi told them that the autopsy report would be rushed out tonight as much as possible, but the specific time could not be determined.
The waiting time was always anxious, and even though the two had not yet eaten dinner, the huge pressure could not help but make people feel tired, and neither of them felt the slightest hunger.
At the end of the day, the two of them only drank a cup of coffee.
Wei Zhongwen is okay, he has long been accustomed to this rhythm, but on the other hand, Tang Yuran, who had just experienced the scene, looked extremely haggard at this moment.
Wei Zhongwen felt a little unbearable, stood up, hesitated for a moment, but walked into the pantry and poured a cup of hot coffee.
"Drink a little and refuel yourself."
"Thank you." Tang Yuran smiled slightly, took the cup, but just held it in his hand, and didn't seem to have any intention of drinking it.
"What's the matter, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night after drinking?" Wei Zhongwen said jokingly.
"It's not... I just can't drink anything. Tang Yuran paused, thought about it for a while, and then continued: "But even if I don't drink this cup of coffee, I'm afraid I'll lose sleep tonight." ”
Tang Yuran said, the scene he experienced in the morning is still vivid.
The scene of the fire with thick smoke billowing out, the screams everywhere, and the scenes in the house that were black and scorched, no matter which one they were, were all things that Tang Yuran had never experienced before.
"Understood, but I'm sorry, I only have coffee here, no milk." Wei Zhongwen said, adding a little apology to his words. "Well, you wait for me here, I'll go buy a few cartons of milk and come back, and I'll be able to drink it soon after it's hot." Wei Zhongwen got up as he spoke.
"No, I really can't drink it." Tang Yuran hurriedly spoke out to stop him, she didn't want to cause trouble to others.
Having said that, Wei Zhongwen had already come to the door at this time, and before Tang Yuran could finish speaking, he had already opened the door, as if he was going out in the next second.
"Wei... Team Wei? In response, Chen Xizheng was standing at the door, holding something in one hand and knocking on the door with the other. Are you going out? Chen Xi was surprised at first, but quickly regained his composure and asked.
"Yes, I want to go down and buy something to eat." Wei Zhongwen nodded. "Come in first."
"What do you want to buy, I brought you some food..."Chen Xi said as she walked in, and before she could finish speaking, she noticed Tang Yuran in the house. You, hello. Chen Xi never expected to see a woman here in Wei Zhongwen, and it was so late.
"Chen Xi, this is Tang Yuran."
"Hello."
"This is Chen Xi, you can call her Officer Chen."
"Hello Officer Chen."
A simple introduction did not satisfy Chen Xi, this was the second time she had seen Tang Yuran.
The first time was in the morning, when she saw the two men from a distance, and at that time she thought it was nothing more than her own delusion.
At this moment, Chen Xi was particularly concerned about the relationship between the two, but for some reason, she couldn't ask directly.
The room suddenly fell into embarrassment, and Wei Zhongwen was caught in it, and he also felt uncomfortable.
"Ahem. Sit down, if you have anything to say, sit down and talk. Wei Zhongwen opened his mouth and said, it was the first time he felt this kind of oppressive atmosphere. Although he didn't understand where this feeling came from.
After the three of them sat down, Chen Xi took the lead in opening his mouth, breaking the awkward atmosphere. "Captain, the autopsy report has been rushed out. And the file you asked me to check, I also brought it with me. ”
"Thank you for your hard work." Wei Zhongwen said and took the two documents together. After taking it, Wei Zhongwen looked at it carefully, and asked directly while looking at it. "Is there anything new to be discovered in this morning's bombing?"
"Not yet, the scene was burned so badly that many things are unrecognizable, so it is difficult to get any breakthroughs at the scene."
"Yes, that's understandable." Wei Zhongwen nodded and didn't say anything more.
"Wei team, in the mouth, nose, throat, trachea and bronchi of the deceased, it can be seen that there is soot and charcoal attached. Forensic examiner Shi conducted a heart and blood test and found carboxyhemoglobin in the blood of the deceased. In addition to this, the internal organs of the corpse were edematous, mucosal hemorrhage, and similar conditions occurred in the location of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi. Chen Xi on the side opened his mouth and explained the autopsy situation roughly.
"That is... The girl was indeed burned to death. Wei Zhongwen said the conclusion, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.
"I'm sorry, what you just said was too professional, I didn't keep up too much, what does that carboxyhemoglobin just now?" Tang Yuran listened to the conversation between the two and couldn't help but ask.
"When an object is burned, it burns incompletely, and carbon monoxide is produced. This carbon monoxide is inhaled into the body with the breathing motion of the burned person and combines with the hemoglobin in the blood to form carboxyhemoglobin. The blood of the deceased is taken for laboratory testing, and if carboxyhemoglobin is present, it can be used as conclusive evidence of burning. And because of this, the internal organs of burned corpses are generally bright red. Wei Zhongwen opened his mouth to explain.
"Do you mean that the girl was burned alive?" Perhaps because the content was too unbelievable, Tang Yuran couldn't help but cover his mouth with his hand, not daring to say another word.
The terrible fact made Tang Yuran's scalp tingle.
She still couldn't believe that a person who chose to commit suicide would choose such a cruel and ruthless way.
Tang Yuran couldn't help but wonder if she would have such a moment when the girl was burned by the red flames, regretting embarking on this road of no return.
"Captain, you said before that this girl killed herself, is it true?" Chen Xi knew that this topic was too heavy, but for them, this was their responsibility. She hesitated, but still expressed the confusion in her heart for a long time.
"That's right... This morning, we received the girl's diary, which clearly records when she chose to commit suicide. Wei Zhongwen said, sighed, and then handed the diary that had been prepared on the table to Chen Xi. The diary was donated anonymously to the institute by a private individual, and if you want to keep it as evidence, you may need to run some procedures. ”
"Understood. But I still don't quite understand the cause and effect of this. There were too many doubts in Chen Xi's heart, and all of them were waiting for Wei Zhongwen to answer them for her.
"I know what you're confused about, don't worry, I'll tell you what you want to know, but before you can do that, you have to know about another case." Wei Zhongwen said, unconsciously looking at Tang Yuran, and the latter also looked back at him tacitly, and even nodded.
Both of them knew in their hearts what this other case meant.
Seeing the reactions of these two people, Chen Xi's heart was cold, and she even began to guess that the relationship between the two was not ordinary, otherwise it would not be so tacit.
But what she didn't know was that in fact, Wei Zhongwen and Tang Yuran had only known each other for a week.
Chen Xi forcibly suppressed the question in his heart and asked, "What is the other case?" ”
"It's the file I asked you to investigate, the case from half a year ago."
"Is that it?" Chen Xi said, pointing to a file in front of him, and said.
"That's right, I don't know if you've seen this case before." Wei Zhongwen said, a little more serious in his tone. "The deceased, Xu Ziqing, a high-speed rail attendant, committed suicide, died in a rental house, and was found by the landlord on the third day after his death, and then reported the case."
"I remember the case. The day after Xu Ziqing's death, it was supposed to be the day to pay the rent, but the landlord did not receive the transfer all day, and Xu Ziqing could not be contacted. So, on the third day after Xu Ziqing's death, the landlord went to the rental house, and only then did he find her body. Chen Xi said that she did not understand what went wrong in the case.
Xu Ziqing's boyfriend disappeared after his death. Doesn't that seem strange to you? Wei Zhongwen asked.
"It's... This is indeed a suspicion in this case, but even if her boyfriend disappears. But judging from the scene, Xu Ziqing is indeed a suicide. And according to Xu Ziqing's friends, the two of them had separated a week before Xu Ziqing committed suicide. Chen Xi said very worriedly, although what she said was the truth, but in front of Wei Zhongwen, any questioning move by the other party would make Chen Xi shake.
"When the body was found, it was already three days later, and given the temperature and tightness of the room at the time, the extent of the decomposition of the body can be imagined, but even that shouldn't be an excuse for you not to perform an autopsy." Wei Zhongwen's words changed, and his tone couldn't help but feel a little more blameful.
"Captain, it's not... It's not that we don't want to, it's just that we don't have that permission. Chen Xi paused, obviously lacking confidence. At that time, the room was in an anti-lock state, and there was no trace of the door lock being damaged, and the community monitoring also showed that Xu Ziqing had not been out of the community for many days. ”
"Yes, go on." Wei Zhongwen's face was serious, but he didn't mean to interrupt the other party.
Moreover, we surveyed Xu Ziqing's friends, and the answers we got were that Xu Ziqing and her boyfriend did not have a harmonious relationship, and they broke up as early as a week ago, and Xu Ziqing's financial situation was not optimistic. She herself loves luxury goods, whether it is cosmetics or backpacks, they are not high-end, which causes her to make ends meet. Moreover, the day after his suicide was the day when he had to pay the rent. ”
"So, is that why you judged her to have chosen to commit suicide?" Wei Zhongwen sighed slightly and asked rhetorically.
