(10) Retaliation twenty years later
This morning, the police station called and asked Jiang Chen and I to go to the next city to handle the case, because there has never been a homicide in the next city, and in order to save time, I hope that our partners will help with the investigation. "Hey, the heroic deeds of both of us have spread to the next city." Jiang Chen said with a hippie smile. The Director sent us a report on the case:
This morning, the police received a call that a body was found in the Nanshan community, the informant was an employee of the Qinghua Cleaning Company, the informant said that he went to the victim's home to clean up this morning, and found that the victim died in his living room as soon as he entered the door. The deceased, Zhuo Yan, aged 35, was the owner of the Excellence Garment Factory, with an estimated time of death of 8-12 hours, and had multiple wounds on his body, some of which showed jagged tear marks, and the preliminary judgment was that the cause of death was excessive blood loss.
After receiving the news, Jiang Chen and I rushed to the scene of the crime, the location of the crime was in a residential building area in the suburbs, I have been observing the surrounding environment since I entered the community, the nearby community has been built for many years, the surrounding supporting facilities are no longer perfect, there is only one monitoring probe at the door of the community, and there is only one street lamp at the entrance of the community.
When we got upstairs, we met the person who reported the case. Jiang Chen said: "Hello, I am the person in charge of this case, my name is Jiang Chen, can you describe the situation at that time?" The informant said: "Hello, Boss Qin is our old customer and our company agreed to clean once a week, today I came to Boss Qin's house to clean as usual, after arriving at the place, I found that the door of Boss Qin's house was not closed, and there was a smell of blood, I didn't expect that as soon as the door was opened, Boss Qin he..."
I asked, "What time did you get here?" Are there any suspicious people nearby? He replied to me: "Around 6:30 in the morning, I didn't find any suspicious people, I came early, and everyone was basically not yet at work, so there was no one." I continued to ask, "Do you know anything about Zhuo Yan?" Does he usually live here? He replied to me: "I heard that Boss Qin's factory is nearby, so he usually lives here, but Boss Qin has other houses, which are also cleaned by people from our company." ”
I nodded and ended the questioning, and looked at Jiang Chen on the side: "Has the victim's family notified me?" Jiang Chen replied to me: "I have already informed his wife, and they have a good relationship between husband and wife, but because Zhuo Yan's garment factory is here, and his wife works in the city, the two of them do not live together, and his wife is very emotional, and there is no way to ask anything." I nodded, ready to go upstairs to see the scene.
The residential building where the victim is located has been cordoned off, and the victim's home is on the 5th floor, because this area is an old building area, so there is no elevator installed. As soon as we got up to the 5th floor, we smelled blood, I frowned and walked into the scene of the crime, there were many blood stains at the scene, and the floor of the living room was covered with dried blood. The police officer came to report: "Captain Jiang, we conducted further exploration at the scene, and collected a bloody palm print on the door frame, and two groups of bloody footprints were collected on the ground, among which the owner of the group of footprints preliminarily judged that the right leg was disabled, and found a knife stained with the victim's blood at the scene. The forensic doctor said: "Although the short knife found at the scene was also stained with the victim's blood, the back of the knife did not have a serrated tooth. ”
There were a lot of cabinets around the living room, and there were a lot of knives in the cabinets, and I counted 23 of them, and two of the empty knife slots seemed a little abrupt.
Jiang Chen said: "Xiao Zhao, you go check the victim's mobile phone and see who he has been in contact with recently." ”
I added: "Send someone to look at the surveillance at the entrance of the community, and pay attention to see if there are any suspicious people who have entered and left the community between last night and this morning." ”
I continued to observe the scene, and in an inconspicuous corner I found a button, I rummaged through the closet of the deceased's house and found no missing buttons, and I asked the trace inspectors to collect the button. At this time, police officer Xiao Zhao came in: "Captain, there is a clue!" Jiang Chen and I looked at Xiao Zhao, and Xiao Zhao handed over a evidence bag and two file materials, and there was a mobile phone in the evidence bag. Xiao Zhao said: "According to the call records in the deceased's mobile phone, we found two people who had contacted the deceased yesterday. "I opened the file bag, and there were two documents in the file bag.
File 1: Wang Ling, female, 29 years old, financial officer of Excellence Garment Factory, 155cm tall, the relationship with the deceased is suspected to be the mistress of the deceased, and the relationship between the two is warm and ambiguous.
File 2: Gu Yuan, male, 37 years old, financial officer of Excellence Garment Factory, 182cm tall, was a partnership with the deceased, and was a downstream distributor of the deceased.
Xiao Zhao continued: "We visited the victim's neighbors, and at around 19:30 last night, a quarrel broke out in the victim's home and had been arguing for more than an hour, and the surveillance probes in the community at 19:19 and 20:36 also photographed the woman's car named Wang Ling entering and leaving the community. ”
I said, "Then let's go and meet this Wang Ling first, Xiao Zhao, you continue to collect information about the two of them, and contact me at any time if you have any new news." ”
After speaking, Jiang Chen and I went to Wang Ling's house together.
Jiang Chen: "Hello, Ms. Li, we are policemen, and there are some situations that we need to know from you. ”
Wang Ling looked at Jiang Chen's police ID card and let us in.
Jiang Chen continued, "Ms. Li, we are here today mainly for Zhuo Yan's case. ”
Wang Ling asked, "Zhuo Yan?" What's wrong with him? ”
Jiang Chen said: "Mr. Zhuo Yan was killed last night. ”
I stared at Wang Ling, trying to capture Wang Ling's reaction when she heard the news, Wang Ling's face instantly became very ugly, and she collapsed on the sofa, I hurriedly stepped forward to support Wang Ling, but Wang Ling had lost consciousness, Jiang Chen and I dialed 120, 15 minutes later, 120 sent Wang Ling to the hospital, and we found the doctor in charge of Wang Ling to inquire about the situation.
Jiang Chen asked, "Doctor, how is Wang Ling's physical condition?" ”
The doctor said, "It's not a big deal, it's just a little irritated, the patient is pregnant, you must be careful not to irritate the patient when you ask questions." Wang Ling's face was frighteningly pale.
After we went in, we asked, "Ms. Li, don't get excited, we want to know what you were doing when you went to Zhuo Yan's house yesterday?"
Wang Ling said: "I have been nauseous and vomited recently, so I went to the hospital for a check-up, and found out that I was pregnant, I was very happy to tell Zhuo Yan the news, but he asked me to beat the child, saying that I couldn't destroy his family, I was so angry that I went to his house to quarrel." ”
I continued to ask, "What time did you go, what time did you leave, and what state was Zhuo Yan in when you left?" ”
She replied to me: "I arrived at his house at about 19:20, we quarreled for a long time, and I left at about 20:30, and he was very angry and worried that his wife knew that this negative man did not expect retribution to come so quickly." ”
After Wang Ling finished speaking, she cried bitterly, and the doctor heard the voice and hurriedly came in and invited me and Jiang Chen out, and we couldn't ask anything more and left first.
