Chapter 82: The Cause of Death
Facing inquiries.
Foreman Damm looked innocent and said worriedly: "Mr. Detective, I'm just worried that Jerry's death will affect my construction period, and the time given to us by the Z Mansion is very tight." ”
Dean noticed that when Dam spoke, his eyes were looking down from time to time, and he didn't dare to look directly at himself.
This is a typical manifestation of lying!
Dean was just about to say something, when suddenly the words on Anthony's note came to mind:
I found an interesting case that was about to happen.
It may help you understand the essence of mind reading.
...
What is the human heart?
Dean was stunned.
He seemed to understand what Anthony meant.
Take back your thoughts.
Dean looked at Dam, who was a little apprehensive, and sneered: "Mr. Dam, it's more than that! Generally, people who can receive the Z Mansion project will have some relationship, are you worried that Jerry's death will attract attention, and finally involve the people behind you? ”
The Tao broke my heart.
Damm's face changed, and he defended: "I obtained the project through legal bidding, what is there to worry about!" And Jerry, the bastard, seems to have been in contact with gambling again recently, and he has always been scolded by me several times because of distraction and mistakes at work. ”
"You're saying he's been getting distracted lately?" , Dean wondered.
This doesn't match what Jerry's co-worker said.
Dam nodded affirmatively: "Yes, I have known Jerry for more than ten years, when he was young, his wife divorced him because of his addiction to gambling, if it weren't for the pity of his little daughter's illness, plus he repented later, I wouldn't let this kind of person follow me to do things at all." ”
"Got it." , Dean glanced at a few cars coming outside, stopped and asked: "Keep your phone open, you can leave first." ”
Dam breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.
The new vehicles are all Dean's acquaintances.
Lawrence, Harry, and Holtz of the Forensics Section and his colleagues.
"Dean, what's going on?"
The three of them asked together.
Dean has not been in the Detective Bureau for a long time, but his excellent performance has made Harry and others have a basic consensus: follow Dean, there is meat to eat!
Dean briefly explained the situation and then began to arrange the task:
"Harry, I feel that there is something wrong with the foreman, Dam, you go and investigate his situation, and find out who he left and got this project."
"Lawrence... The deceased, Jerry, had a sick daughter, and if you could, I would like you to call Phoebe, investigate Jerry's situation, and let Phoebe get his daughter, and it would be best if she could get some valuable clues. ”
"No problem!"
Harry and Lawrence, who had just arrived, left again.
The remaining Holtz looked puzzled: "Dean, you seem to be pretty sure that this is a homicide?" ”
"Yes." Dean nodded: "Don't ask me why I'm so sure, Holtz, I'm going to investigate the situation on the watchtower now, I need you to determine the cause of Jerry's death as soon as possible." ”
"Okay." , Holtz did not delve into it: "I listened to your words, this time the tools are very complete, and it will be very quick to simply investigate the cause of death of the deceased." ”
After speaking, Holtz took his colleagues and removed various toolboxes from the car, came to the body of the deceased, and got busy.
"It's cool to be called." Dean smiled and walked towards the watchtower.
Opening prisons requires not only those in the judiciary to be dealt with, but also to prevent prisoners from escaping.
It's okay if the prisoner dies.
There are many excuses for explanation.
But if the prisoner runs away one or two, it's in trouble.
This will trigger the Z government's distrust of the prison.
Restore trust.
It takes a lot of money.
Therefore, the high-rise watchtower, which is guarded 24 hours a day, is the second most important place in the prison in addition to the monitoring room.
At this site, there are three watchtowers that have been built, distributed in three different directions.
The watchtower where Jerry fell to his death, located in the direction of the main entrance.
When Dean went up, he found that the inside of the not-so-wide watchtower was filled with all kinds of tools used by electricians.
On the wooden cabinet with miscellaneous items on the side, there is also a pink piggy lunch box.
This should be Jerry's daughter, a late-night snack for him.
One touch.
The lunch box also comes with residual warmth.
It's a pity that Jerry can't feel his daughter's love anymore.
He's dead.
Directions close to the inside of the construction site.
Most of the slots for buried wires have been opened in the ground.
The pit extends from the ground and terminates at half a man's height in the wall.
That's where Jerry fell.
There is a concrete barrier about half a meter high, and the external iron railing has not yet been installed, but under normal circumstances, no one will fall from here.
Unless something unexpected happens.
That's why Jerry didn't have a seat belt on his body when he was grooving.
Dean asked the electricians who were working with him.
At that time, Jerry was the only one on the lookout, and there was no possibility that someone would push him down.
By normal reasoning.
At that time, he either had a sudden illness and lost control of his body, or for some reason, he couldn't control his body at all, so he fell to the side and happened to fall.
Of course, Jerry's suicide cannot be ruled out.
Because Dean remembers that Damm had said that Jerry's daughter was sick.
If it takes a lot of money to treat a disease.
Jerry may also commit suicide to defraud the insurance.
At that time, Jerry fell with him, and the drilling machine in his hand.
This is a tool for grooving.
With gloves on, Dean pulled the drill up along the wires hanging from the cement, and before he could look at it, he smelled a slight smell of burning.
"Is this a leak?"
Dean looked confused.
He took the drilling machine and walked to the socket and examined it carefully.
It's not the sixties and seventies.
Electricians have very strict processes and requirements for high-risk work, such as wearing insulated labor protection shoes, using sockets, and leakage protection devices...
Therefore, Jerry's electrocution is rare.
This view.
Dean spotted the problem right away!
On the socket, there are traces of vandalism!
The plug tab was cut with pliers!
What's more coincidental is that a pair of pliers with black handles is thrown under the socket, as if for fear that someone will not see it.
Dean had seen the damaged leakage protection device and was almost certain that Jerry had died from him, but when he saw the pliers, he hesitated a little.
It can't be Jerry's criticism, self-directed and self-acting, who wants to disguise himself as an accidental death to cheat insurance, right?
Because if there is a problem with the equipment, in addition to the insurance to lose money, the foreman Damm also has to lose a lot of money.
Dean kept this to heart for the time being.
Since the leakage protection device has been destroyed, there is definitely a problem with the drilling machine in your hand!
Dean immediately looked at the hole turning machine in his hand!
The wire interface of the drilling machine also looks a little loose.
Dean had used these tools a lot in his previous life.
This thing, in order to ensure that it will not be pitted, will be sealed, once someone opens it, it is equivalent to taking the initiative to give up the right to warranty, after repairing, the manufacturer will also seal the connection again.
So, someone here has opened it too!
Dean tugged lightly and easily pulled off the connection shell outside the interface.
By the light.
Dean noticed that inside the drilled electromechanic, the wires were crossed, and the electrodes were reversed.
A picture came to his mind.
As usual, Jerry took the drilling machine, stood on the edge of the wall of the observation deck, and turned on the machine to drill and slot.
The next moment.
Current backlash.
Jerry was struck by the electric current, and his body stiffened.
As a result, he couldn't die, and while his body was out of control, he was driven by the hole turning machine in his hand, his body was crooked, and he fell...
As for destroying the protection of labor protection shoes, it is even simpler!
Just stick an iron nail in the sole of your shoe.
Whether Jerry committed suicide or killed him, Dean is not sure at this time, but he can already be almost certain that Jerry died of an electric shock.
Now we need to find out with Holtz to make sure.
With pliers and a drilling machine on the ground.
Dean came downstairs.
"Holtz, did Jerry die from an electric shock?"
Holz has completed a preliminary autopsy.
Hearing this, he looked at Dean with a puzzled face: "I only found the fall injury on the deceased, Dean, the deceased fell to his death, he couldn't have died from an electric shock." ”
Dean:???
