"Questions?"

"To be exact, the suspect has ...... He's dead. ”

Wu Cuo clicked a few times on his mobile phone and handed the phone to Yan Ruyu, "This is a photo of the deceased before his death, you see, it is almost exactly the same as our portrait." ”

Yan Ruyu was stunned for a moment, the old case is difficult to investigate, but to talk about it, this case has only been more than a year, how can it be so difficult that even the suspect is dead?

"And what about his identity? Also, how did the suspect find it so quickly? Yan Ruyu asked.

"Zhou Chunlei, this guy is also well-known in the pet circle, because he raised a Tibetan mastiff - the kind of Tibetan mastiff that has won the championship in the competition and is worth a lot of money.

When the police visited, they happened to meet the owner of a pet supply store, who was also a Tibetan mastiff lover, and recognized the person in the portrait at a glance, and immediately found a photo of Zhou Chunlei on the Internet for the police to compare. ”

"Tibetan mastiff," Yan Ruyu said thoughtfully, "I've seen the news, the kind of Tibetan mastiff that won the championship in the competition is worth a lot, millions, and some can reach tens of millions." ”

Wu Cuo said disdainfully: "Isn't it still a dog after all?" Can it still bloom? It's all hype. ”

Yan Ruyu said with a smile: "If you let the Tibetan mastiff owners hear this, it is estimated that the dog will be released to bite you." ”

Wu Cuo shrugged, "Originally." ”

"But I heard that raising this kind of dog costs money, not to mention anything else, just eating, eating hundreds of dollars of beef a day, where can ordinary people afford to raise it?" Although Minghui didn't follow up on the case with the two, she also understood the general idea after listening to the conversation between the two, she pointed to the suspect's photo and said, "Is this person very rich?" ”

"That's the problem, his profession is a pet doctor, his parents are ordinary workers, his family is average, and raising a Tibetan mastiff is a luxury entertainment that he can't afford," Wu said, "However, in this way, the motive for the crime is reasonable, and the illegal gains of fraud just fill the hole in him." ”

"How did he die?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"Electrocution."

"Electrocution?"

"The police went to the scene and finally determined that he accidentally caused the electrocution and that it was not a homicide, so there is no detailed record."

"Accidental? And where did his property, I mean, the valuable Tibetan mastiff, go? Yan Ruyu frowned, "I'll contact Jin Ziduo now, investigate Zhou Chunlei's bank statement, and find out his financial situation." ”

"Then I will contact the police who were at the scene back then and ask for the details of the matter."

While speaking, Wu Cuo had already dialed the phone.

Judging from the voice of the other party, it was an old police officer, and when he heard that the comrades from the city hall asked about the old case, the other party was stunned for a moment, and then said a little crampedly: "Is it ...... Did we make a mistake in our judgment back then? ”

"Don't worry, we investigated Zhou Chunlei's matter just because he was implicated in other cases."

"Oh," the old police officer put his mind at ease and continued: "The scene was actually quite simple back then, Zhou Chunlei collapsed in the simple plastic bathtub in the bathroom, and the whole person was lying on his side, with one foot and one hand hanging outside the bathtub. There is a small half tank of water in the bathtub, dog hair floating in the water, and on the ground next to it is a special bath gel for dogs.

A hair dryer fell in the bathtub, the hair dryer was still plugged in, and when we arrived, the electric switch of his house tripped, indicating that the hair dryer did cause leakage and short circuit.

So we judged that Zhou Chunlei had an accident when he was drying the dog, perhaps because he slipped and fell, Zhou Chunlei and the hair dryer fell into the bathtub together, resulting in electrocution.

After the results of the non-killing came out, we withdrew, and the follow-up situation is not very clear. ”

"So there was no autopsy at the time?" Wu asked wrongly.

"Yes."

"What about his dog? When you arrived at the scene, his dog was not there? ”

"Speaking of which, the informant should be his dog! The dog opened the door and ran away, and the neighbor found the door of his house open, called him, but he did not answer, and when he entered the house, he found him lying in the bathroom, and then reported the case. ”

"What about dogs? Did you get it back? ”

"Where can I find it? Besides, we're not responsible for finding dogs. ”

"What?" Wu Cuo's eyes widened, "That Tibetan mastiff was lost like this?!" ”

"Tibetan mastiff? Not really! The other party was also a little surprised, "We adjusted the surveillance at the door of the deceased's house, and it was obviously a golden retriever who ran away." I clearly saw a golden retriever running out of the corridor, according to the deceased's family and neighbors, it was the deceased's dog, I had never seen a Tibetan mastiff. ”

"Didn't the deceased's family and neighbors mention the existence of a Tibetan mastiff?"

"I didn't mention it, I'm pretty sure.

There is one thing I remember very clearly, when the father of the deceased arrived at the scene, the only child in the family died, and the old man was particularly shocked, crying vigorously, and scolding in his mouth, saying that it was all caused by dogs.

But no, if it weren't for bathing the dog, the man wouldn't have died, so when we asked his father, we didn't dare to mention the dog, for fear that the old man would be stimulated.

Coupled with the fact that the case was characterized as non-homicide, we didn't ask so carefully...... Oh, by the way, I remember making a field note, but it was very easy, and I could find it for you if you needed it. ”

"Okay, thank you."

For non-homicide cases, there is no hard and fast rule to establish a case file, and the so-called record is likely to be nothing more than a police record, and Wu Cuo does not have much hope for it.

Hanging up the phone, he frowned and said: "Such a valuable dog, it is impossible to disappear out of thin air, if even Zhou Chunlei's father does not know the whereabouts of the dog, there must be a problem in the middle." ”

Yan Ruyu didn't talk, and since Wu Cuo called, he has been constantly communicating with people on WeChat.

Soon, Jin Ziduo sent Zhou Chunlei's father's address, Wu Cuo left to go out, and Yan Ruyu followed him while looking at his mobile phone.

Wu Cao started the car and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”

"Drive your car, leave it alone." Yan Ruyu lazily responded.

When I arrived at Mr. Zhou's house, it was already in the wanest.

The old man was sitting at the dining table eating noodles.

One person's rice is not easy to cook, and seeing that there is almost no oil and water in his bowl, and there are only a few green vegetables, both of them feel a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, when he entered the door, Wu Cuo bought a roast chicken from the deli at the entrance of the community.

Wu Cuo hurriedly opened the roast chicken and put it in front of the old man.

"You just eat."

The old man glanced at the roast chicken, but he didn't put down the chopsticks, and while sucking the noodles, he said, "The sun is coming out in the west today?" What are you coming to me for? ”

"Find out about your son."

"The debt collector...... Nothing to say. The old man's eyes were dead, and the action of eating noodles became mechanical.

What could be more tragic than a white-haired man sending a black-haired man? The two accompanied the old man in silence for more than ten minutes, and for him, any words of comfort were pale.

Ten minutes later, the old man finished eating the noodles, looked at the untouched roast chicken on the table, and finally said, "You ask." ”
