Chapter 2: Pinholes behind the ear
Judging from the scene of the crime, there were no traces of blood, no signs of fighting, everything seemed very normal, and there seemed to be no trace to prove that this was a homicide case.
And judging from the preliminary autopsy at the scene, the deceased most likely died of carbon monoxide poisoning.
It's just that the situation of the deceased sitting in the back seat still makes Lu Ke and Jiang Xiran feel a little strange.
But this is not a suspicion, it can only be regarded as a few anomalies. Whether there is any hidden circumstance in this case requires the body to be brought back and the cause of death determined through an autopsy.
In order not to destroy the scene in the car, Lu Ke decided to fix the body in the back seat and drive the car back to the detachment for an inquest.
The on-site investigation work was nearing completion, and Mo Yufei also returned to the underground parking lot.
She showed Lu Ke the USB flash drive in her hand and said, "Team Lu, I copied the entrance and exit of the parking lot, as well as the surveillance video of the elevator." ”
Lu Ke looked at her in a daze, and asked with some confusion: "What about the surveillance video in Area A?" ”
Mo Yufei was a little helpless and shrugged her shoulders: "The monitoring probe in Area A is broken." ”
"Broken?" Lu Ke was shocked and smiled bitterly.
The damage to the surveillance video can be described as the norm in his police career, and many cases that seem to be solved by only investigating and surveillance, always have to make some hiccups.
Either the monitoring probe is damaged, or the monitoring blind spot is blind, in short, it is necessary to add some difficulty to the case.
Lu Ke smiled bitterly for a while, and then asked, "What about the structural diagram of the underground parking lot?" ”
Mo Yufei was stunned: "Hmm...... This one...... I'll go find it. ”
Lu Ke nodded.
Mo Yufei ran to a fire escape in the underground parking lot, and at the door, posted the structural diagram of the underground parking lot.
She reached out and searched for the location of Section A, following the directions above.
The on-site investigation has ended, and everyone is packing up and ready to close.
After a while, Mo Yufei ran back, turned on the photos taken by her mobile phone, and said to Lu Ke: "Team Lu, in addition to the entrance and exit of the car, there are two elevators and two fire escapes to leave. ”
After a brief glance at the photo, Lu Ke nodded: "Let's go back to the detachment first." ”
In the criminal investigation detachment of the Jing'an Public Security Bureau, everyone is investigating the surveillance video of the underground parking lot.
Surveillance footage shows that at 1:20 p.m. yesterday, the deceased drove his car alone into the underground parking lot. The surveillance footage was very clear, and she was the only one in the car at that time.
"She came alone." Lu Ke said lightly.
Beside him, Mo Yufei was holding a map in his hand, comparing it and saying: "This underground parking lot has three floors, and there is a large supermarket nearby, and many people who go to the supermarket to shop will choose to park their cars here." Perhaps, the deceased is ready to go to the supermarket. ”
Lu Ke frowned and muttered, "No matter where she is going after she stops, she shouldn't die in the car...... Sitting in the back seat, carbon monoxide poisoning ......"
Lu Ke pondered for a while, and then asked, "Is there a picture of her leaving the underground parking lot?" ”
Mo Yufei shook her head: "The surveillance video of the two elevators did not capture her figure, if you leave, it should be the fire escape, but there is no monitoring probe in the fire escape." ”
Lu Ke twisted his fingers, trying to imagine the situation: "Why did she sit in the back seat after parking her car in the underground parking lot?" Is she waiting for someone? ”
At this moment, Su Simeng walked into the criminal police team quickly: "Team Lu, the identity information of the deceased has been confirmed." ”
"The deceased's name is Yue Wenjing, 29 years old this year, a native of Jing'an City, and she is currently a reporter for Jing'an Daily, and the crimson BMW 3 Series sedan is hers."
"Jing'an Daily?" Lu Ke frowned suddenly, because the name was too familiar.
Mo Yufei answered: "Isn't Reporter Tang from Jing'an Daily? ”
Su Simeng nodded: "Yes, Tang Mengxue is from Jing'an Daily." ”
After speaking, Su Simeng looked at Lu Ke and asked, "Maybe Tang Mengxue will know Yue Wenjing." ”
Lu Ke said in a deep voice: "Don't rush first, wait for the autopsy report to come out." ”
Mo Yufei pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Anyway, I haven't seen Reporter Tang for a long time. ”
Su Simeng also smiled and explained, "I've met her a few times, and she's been in the propaganda department recently. And we've been having cases recently, and we're busy, so it's normal that we haven't seen them. However, I see that she has been going back and forth between the team and Jing'an Daily recently, and I don't know what she is busy with. ”
Lu Ke thought for a while and said to the two: "Continue to investigate Yue Wenjing's identity and social relationships, my intuition tells me that this case is not that simple. ”
"Okay, I'll expand the investigation." Su Simeng replied.
Lu Ke looked at his watch: "The forensic department should also have results soon, I'll take a look." ”
In the dissection room of the forensic department, Jiang Xiran and Zhou Xiaoyi were busy.
Lu Ke pushed the door and walked in, and asked anxiously, "How is it?" Has the cause of death been determined? ”
Jiang Xiran stood in front of the dissection table with his back to Lu Ke, and said angrily: "Urging?" ”
Lu Ke was stunned for a moment, changed his tone to a calm tone, and asked as he walked: "I'm not sure if it was an accident or a homicide, there is no way for our investigation to continue." ”
Jiang Xiran still didn't look at her, and was still examining the body surface of the deceased: "The deceased's face was flushed, his lips and nails were cherry red, and there were no external injuries on the body surface, so he did die of carbon monoxide poisoning." ”
Lu Ke also walked to the dissection table, looked at the corpse in front of him, and felt a little regretful: "It seems that this is an accident." ”
But Jiang Xiran shook his head: "The cause of death was carbon monoxide poisoning, but it was not an accident. ”
"Oh?" Lu Ke was a little dazed.
Jiang Xiran gently turned the deceased's head, and put his fingers behind the deceased's ear: "Look at this." ”
Lu Ke froze, leaned down, and looked at the position of Jiang Xiran's finger.
A very small pinhole appeared in front of Lu Ke's eyes.
"Pinhole? What was she injected with? Lu Ke frowned, and suddenly became nervous.
Jiang Xiran blinked and said lightly: "Maybe she was injected with something like an anesthetic, which caused her to lose her mobility, and then died of carbon monoxide poisoning." ”
Lu Ke looked at Jiang Xiran and asked seriously, "Can you determine the detailed time of death?" ”
Jiang Xiran replied in a deep voice: "The time of death and the composition of the injection need to be autopsied to know, but judging from the temperature of the corpse and the degree of corpse stiffness, the time of death will not exceed twelve hours. ”
Lu Ke nodded: "As long as you are sure that he killed him, it will be easy to do." ”
"You go investigate first, and I'll tell you as soon as I have any news here."
After Jiang Xiran finished speaking, he greeted Zhou Xiaoyi: "Prepare for an autopsy." ”
Lu Ke was really not interested in autopsies, and he had no hobby of onlookers, so he turned around and walked out of the autopsy room.
In the corridor, he took out his mobile phone and called up Tang Mengxue's contact information.
Perhaps, about Yue Wenjing, it is more appropriate to ask Tang Mengxue.
