Chapter 7: Shoe Suspicions
After listening to Han Yuchao's speech, Jiang Chonglang carefully watched the large conversation between the two people on WeChat several times, and said: "In this conversation, Gao Yingying asked Qi Huimin what Shui Runsheng did, and Qi Huimin chose to break up. She gave two guesses: one was drug use; It's a **** party. For these two items, Qi Huimin directly denied it - this is not. But I feel that Shui Runsheng's behavior is not much better than these two. Therefore, we will continue to investigate Shui Runsheng's personal life. ”
Zhang Lanshan said: "But there are only a few of us, and it's a waste of energy to investigate like this." Tomorrow I bring up the post-mortem report. Let's see if we can find out the suspicions and find a way to file a case, so that it will be easier to investigate. ”
The next day, Zhang Lanshan finally got Qi Huimin's autopsy report. It clearly shows that Qi Huimin's specific death occurred between 3 and 4 a.m. on January 28 at the beginning of the year, and the place of death was in a fountain pool called Crescent Square, and the cause of death was drowning, of course, it was possible to freeze to death.
The autopsy revealed that the deceased had a large amount of alcohol in his stomach, and it was a cocktail, a foreign liquor such as brandy. So Qi Huimin should have been drunk, fell into the fountain pool, and accidentally drowned.
Cheng Nanxiang and Meng Yao both saw photos of Qi Huimin's body for the first time. Seeing Qi Huimin's death, Cheng Nanxiang turned his head and couldn't help crying, crying while saying, "Xiaomin, if you are free, there is a spirit in the sky." Tell me who killed you, and I'll cut that beast with a thousand cuts. And Meng Yao also held her heart twitching, because Qi Huimin's death process had appeared hundreds of times in her dreams.
Zhang Lanshan looked at the autopsy report and said over and over again: "The cause of death of the deceased is indeed drowning, and there is no other obvious thing on the deceased, because the bruises caused by pulling or binding should be caused by accidentally falling into the water." The area and depth of this fountain pool were not small, and it was winter, so the water level was even lower than it is now, about a meter below the outer edge. The corpse's face was scarred by the water, so it should have been lying down in the water. It shows that the deceased was lying on the outer edge of the fountain pool, and when he turned over, he fell down. Maybe Qi Huimin was directly stunned by the water at that time, and the deceased was in a drunken state at the time, so he drowned. ”
Jiang Chonglang leaned over and glanced at the photo of the deceased: "Strange, why aren't her shoes on her feet, where are her shoes?" ”
The others looked over, and sure enough, Qi Huimin was not wearing shoes, and her shoes were on the ground on the outer edge of the fountain pool in the photo, and there were traces of being squeezed on both shoes.
Han Yuchao said: "It is estimated that the deceased drank too much at that time and used the fountain pool as a bed, so he took off his shoes, which is also possible." ”
However, Jiang Chonglang stared at the photos of the crime scene and said: "If the deceased took off her shoes by herself, the shoes should be under her feet." But the two shoes in the photo are far away. One fell on the waist of the deceased, and the other fell on the knee of the deceased, which is unreasonable. ”
"Maybe a passerby accidentally kicked it, it's not a big deal." Zhang Lanshan replied.
The argument lasted for a long time, but nothing seemed to come of it. So the second round of discussion was announced, although it was still impossible to file a murder case for investigation, but the big guy had new clues, and also had a new direction and task of investigation: first of all, Meng Yao volunteered and decided to contact Shui Runsheng, after all, only she could talk to Shui Runsheng; Jiang Chonglang and Han Yuchao decided to go to the scene of the death to investigate, while Zhang Lanshan continued to investigate Qi Huimin's life circle to see if there could be any useful clues.
Jiang Chonglang said to Cheng Nanxiang: "Mr. Cheng, you also saw it. We can be regarded as doing our best in Qi Huimin's affairs, but our ability is limited after all. It's hard to say if it will help you in the end. ”
Cheng Nanxiang responded: "I know, no matter what the result is. I thank you all. ”
As soon as it was dawn the next morning, Jiang Chonglang and Han Yuchao came to Crescent Moon Square and soon found the fountain where Qi Huimin was drowning.
Since the murder in this fountain, it has been called the "murder pool". There are far fewer people here to play and visit. Around the fountain pool, there are sporadic people putting these white chrysanthemums and white roses. Some of the flowers have long since dried up, while others are still in full bloom. It seems that the people here are still lamenting the loss of a life.
Not far from the fountain, there was a group of square dancing aunts who had not yet dispersed, Jiang Chonglang and the two walked over, explained their intentions, and after showing their documents, they asked them how much they knew about Qi Huimin's drowning. The aunts began to explain the situation babblingly, and sighed for Qi Huimin's death.
Jiang Chonglang asked, "Do any of you know the first person to find the body?" ”
An aunt hurriedly ran over and said, "My wife woke up early to run and found out, he is running now." I called him over right away. Saying that, he ran to find his wife.
Soon, an old man was brought to Jiang Chonglang and Han Yuchao. Jiang Chonglang asked him to tell him the details of the discovery of Qi Huimin's body.
The old man thought carefully for a while, and said, "It seems that it is the end of January this year, when I was running in this square at dawn that morning, I saw two shoes next to the fountain pool. I was a little curious, but when I walked over and looked, I noticed a person lying on his stomach in the pool. It scared me out, so I quickly called the police. ”
"Shoes, where's the location?" It was shoes again, Jiang Chonglang immediately turned out the photo on Qi Huimin's autopsy report: "Uncle, look at the position of the shoes is the same as the one in the photo, falling in this position." ”
The old man shook his head: "No, those two shoes are on the platform of the pool, and it is estimated that there are too many onlookers to touch them." Hey, if it weren't for the bad luck of the dead man's things, I'm afraid someone would have taken these two shoes away. ”
"Yes, I've heard that if someone is in a car accident and their shoes don't fall off their feet, they can still be saved by going to the hospital. If the shoe is off, it will not survive. Hey, this girl must have been entangled by a water ghost. It's horrible, it's horrible. An aunt next to her said with palpitations.
Jiang Chonglang never believed in the theory that ghosts killed people, and his intuition told him: Judging from the position of these two shoes, Qi Huimin's death must be strange. But what the problem is, Jiang Chonglang himself can't say.
At this time, Jiang Chonglang's WeChat prompt rang. It was sent by Zhang Lanshan: "Chong Lang, we found out from Qi Huimin's WeChat that when she was working and living in Yangcheng, she often frequented a Western restaurant named Manlishi. This is the address, it seems to be not far from Crescent Square, you can go and see. ”
