On the third day after returning to the provincial capital, Cai Bin didn't get off work until eight o'clock in the evening because of something, and it was already dark at this time. He walked home to a secluded alley, where the street lamps were shining dimly and there were almost no pedestrians. Suddenly, he heard a car speeding up behind him. He looked back alarmedly, and a black SUV was speeding towards him, and he leaped to the side, and the SUV passed by. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been hit by a car. He hurriedly checked the license plate number and saw that the last three digits were 037. His shoulder hit the wall, and it hurt so badly.

He went to a hospital for a check-up, and there was no bone injury, only a dislocated shoulder. The doctor put his shoulder back in place and bandaged it. He called Team Leader Tian Chunda again to report the situation. Tian Chunda asked him if he saw the appearance of the driver. He said that it was dark, and he only saw the driver wearing sunglasses and a mask in the dim light, and he couldn't see the face clearly. He also said that Xu Lixiang wanted to use money and beautiful women to lure him, and said that Xu Lixiang might feel that he couldn't make a soft knife, so he would come hard, and it was probably Xu Lixiang who hit him with an off-road vehicle. He also reported a new situation to Tian Chunda, and Dong Yunchao, a worker in the company, had disappeared. He was seen having recently been to Xu Lixiang's office. And his body and face are very similar to Xu Lixiang, and the murderer who pretended to be Xu Lixiang to trap Lu Yuanshan is likely to be Dong Yunchao. Now he is hiding to escape the investigation, or he has been killed by Xu Lixiang.

Tian Chunda said that the information you provided is very important and very helpful for us to solve the case. If there is any new situation in the future, it will be communicated in a timely manner.

Cai Bin said I will, and to help you is to help ourselves.

Yu Qianqian heard that Cai Bin was hit by a car and was injured, so she rushed to Cai Bin's house to visit. Seeing Cai Bin leaning on the bed with one arm hanging and reading a book, she hurriedly walked to the bed to ask about the injury.

Cai Bin smiled and said: "The car didn't hit me, it was I who dodged and hit the wall and was injured." However, the injury was not serious, but the shoulder was dislocated, and the doctor said that it would be back to normal in about ten days. ”

After hearing this, Yu Qianqian was relieved, and she asked again: "Did the person who hit you do it on purpose?"

Cai Bin nodded and said, "It's deliberate." Sharply increasing the throttle behind me and rushing towards me. ”

"Eighty percent did it by Xu Lixiang and his gang again. They can't lure you, and they poison you. ”

"Hmm." Cai Bin nodded. He asked Yu Qianqian again: "Is the bugging device you set up for Xu Lixiang still good?"

Yu Qianqian shook her head: "It's not easy for you to come back from the meeting." may have made Xu Lixiang find out. ”

"This old fox is very cunning." Cai Bin said hatefully.

"They might be playing some tricks next, but you have to be careful." Yu Qianqian looked at Cai Bin with concern.

Cai Bin nodded: "I will."

"I've been coming over every day to take care of you these days." Yu Qianqian held Cai Bin's hand again and said.

"I'm so glad you come every day. But let you, a noble lady, take care of it, I'm afraid I can't afford it. Cai Bin said with a smile.

"I'm willing to take care of you. I'm not a noble lady in front of you. Yu Qianqian smiled and showed dimples.

"What's that? Is it Yahuan?" Cai Bin smiled and opened his mouth wider.

"It's not Yahuan either."

"What's that?"

"It's an intimate lover." After Yu Qianqian finished speaking, she smiled and kissed Cai Bin's cheek.

Cai Binmai smiled and took Qianqian into his arms with a good arm and kissed her dimples.

The next day, the police found the owner of the SUV, who was the CEO of a company, in his fifties, who had already made a fortune and was a little bald. He said that the vehicle had been missing for two days, and that someone had stolen it, and that he was looking for it and asked the police to help find it.

The serious case group once again held a case analysis meeting.

Tian Chunda made a concluding speech at the meeting: "This case is very complicated and dangerous. Two of the people involved in the case have gone missing - Liu Dong and Dong Yunchao. Two people were killed - Lu Cuiwei and Lu Yuanshan. Of course, Liu Dong and Dong Yunchao may also be killed by murder. And Cai Bin was lured again, and when the lure failed, he was hit by a car. Criminals are cunning, vicious, scheming, quick and poisonous. At present, Liu Dong and Dong Yunchao have not been traced yet, and they must continue to be traced. The car that hit Cai Bin and the driver must also continue to be traced. Xu Lixiang is the focus of the case, and he may have directed or directly participated in several criminal actions. He was implicated in the disappearance and murder of several people. So the next step is to step up our investigation of him. He should also be monitored around the clock and in all directions. Reliable evidence of his crimes must be found as soon as possible and brought to justice. ”

At this moment, Xu Lixiang disappeared again. The police at the police station, who were secretly monitoring outside the gate of the Dixingda real estate company, said that they did not see Xu Lixiang coming out of the gate of the company, but he was missing. He probably felt that the situation was not good, and absconded in disguise.

Five days later, the Taohua Town Tourist Resort Police Station, which is close to the border, sent a report to the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Nanshan Public Security Bureau, saying that a male corpse had been found in a rented house in Taohua Town, and that after examining the deceased's belongings, it was determined that he was Xu Lixiang, the personnel director of Xingda Real Estate Company.

After receiving this report, Tian Chunda immediately led several team members to rush to Peach Blossom Town.

When Tian Chunda and his entourage came to Taohua Town, Wang Sheng, director of the town police station, immediately led them to the scene of the crime.

There were two police officers from the police station in front of the rental house where Xu Lixiang lived, and they all saluted and greeted Tian Chunda and his party when they saw him.

Tian Chunda walked into the house and was greeted by a pungent smell of rotting corpses. Tian Chunda had come into contact with many corpses in the past, but due to the different conditions of the corpses, the stench was not so serious. The scene in front of me was closed for a long time, and the whole room was like a steamer, and the corpse was so decomposed that it was bleeding. As soon as the door opened, the stench filled.

This room is about 20 square meters and is a suite with a separate bathroom and kitchenette. There are tables and chairs, beds and wardrobes, and bedside tables in the room. But the furniture was staggering, and the chair by the window was facing the sky, and there was a man in a brown casual shirt and white trousers.

Needless to say, it's the corpse that emits a putrid smell.

Plastic mats have been laid on the tiled floor. This is to prevent footprints and blood from being messed up. Tian Chunda approached the corpse so that he could see it more clearly, and the criminal police also followed.

Xu Lixiang had long lost his appearance, his whole face was purple-red and swollen, his half-opened eyes were loose like dead fish, his sockets were sunken, and his black eyes and whites were cloudy. There are a few maggots moving under the eyes, around the wings of the nose, and on the lips. Despite this, Tian Chunda determined that this person was indeed Xu Lixiang. The square jaw, the fat ears, the short neck...... The neck was tightly wrapped around a dirty square scarf and tied in a dead knot.

Tian Chunda took a deep breath, and then turned his gaze to the other parts of his body.

Xu Lixiang had a wound about 5 centimeters long on the back of his head slightly below his hairline, as if he had been cut by a kitchen knife. The wound split open and shed quite a bit of blood, the blood had coagulated, and it covered the wound like a dark red clay, so that the depth of the wound was not visible to the naked eye. Was Xu Lixiang's cause of death this wound or suffocation from his neck?

To determine whether the cause of death was strangulation, the eyelids should first be examined for bruising spots. However, because it had been a long time since he died, the body was highly decomposed, and the eyelids were partially cloudy and unrecognizable, so he had to seek medical examiners for further judgment. Tian Chunda left the body and began to examine the scene. The most striking thing is that there are quite a lot of blood stains in the room, there is a large amount of blood on the table legs, the floor behind the sofa chair, there are also blood stains under the coffee table, on the wall, and the blood next to the corpse is the most.

Most of these blood stains have coagulated, not only scattered everywhere, but also traces of foot stamping, so the area is very wide.

Tian Chunda thought, I'm afraid there was a fierce fight before the death. The killer may have been somewhere in the room — most likely the back of Xu Lixiang's head, who attacked in front of the kitchen. But this blow alone did not make the opponent faint, and the opponent must fight back, and the two immediately fought to the center of the room. Xu Lixiang fell to the ground due to his injuries, and the murderer strangled his neck with a square scarf and suffocated him to death.

Tian Chunda found a kitchen knife that might have been the murder weapon under the sofa, he put on gloves and picked up the kitchen knife, and saw dried blood stains and a few strands of hair on the blade.

The kitchen is also equipped with electric pots, microwave ovens and other utensils, and drinking utensils are complete. The stainless steel sink is stacked with two plates and food scraps inside. There is also a pair of chopsticks and an empty 180ml milk bottle. There are more than a dozen cigarette butts and paper caps for milk bottles in the bin, and the "L4" on the lid is still clear. The food scraps on the plate have rotted and give off a sour smell.

The stainless steel sink is completely dry. From the analysis of the degree of decay of the corpses and food, the coagulation state of the bloodstains, etc., it can be concluded that the case occurred for several days.

Based on Tian Chunda's experience, it is speculated that the incident may have occurred three or five days ago. The correct time of the crime must also be inferred by the forensic doctor based on the changes in the victim's body.

Wang Sheng, director of the Taohua Town Police Station, also introduced the situation: "The deceased planned to live here for a while, and he even ordered newspapers and milk."

Tian Chunda walked to the door, and he saw that in the door, there were six or seven copies of the newspaper that he had not read, and there were three bottles of 180 ml of milk next to him.

"I heard from the police at the police station that when they pried the door open, the newspapers were caught in the cracks of the door, some of them fell into the door, and the milk was stuffed in the milk crate on the door."

Wang Sheng continued.

Tian Chunda picked up the newspaper and took a look, this is a local newspaper with a large number of readers, and not a single newspaper from August 16 to 20 August has been missing, which is enough to prove that no one has read the newspaper since the evening of August 16.

The second is the milk bottle, the three bottles of milk are covered in purple plastic bags, and the lids are printed with "15", "16", and "17", which are just connected to the "14" in the kitchen...... However, the date is different from that of the newspaper.

Tian Chunda was thinking about this doubt, Wang Sheng said: "The milk ordered by ordinary families is usually printed with the date of two days before the distribution date, that is, the date of manufacture. My wife used to think that she drank expired milk every day, so she called the company to ask and understood the reason. ”

"Oh!" I see. The milk of "L4" on the sink was delivered on the morning of the 16th, which means that the milk on the morning of the 16th has been drunk, and the milk of L7, L8, and 19 are still outside the door, so that the analysis coincides with the date of the newspaper.

Then Tian Chunda went indoors to check. He saw a large white pillow on the quilt, the sheets were a little wrinkled, and the bottom edge of the mosquito net was rolled up and tucked under the mattress. There are traces of grease on the pillows - the whole room looks full of masculine smells.

Newspapers, books, magazines, etc., are scattered around the pillow, and the magazines are some weekly magazines.

In order to archive the case, the appraisers first take photos of the corpse and take photos of the scene, and then carry out the formal autopsy work with the forensic doctor as the center.

Although the results have not yet been announced, Tian Chunda believes that it is very likely that the murder occurred during the daytime on July 16, judging from the state of the corpse, newspapers, and the situation at the scene of milk.

If there were no poisons or sleeping pills in Xu Lixiang's body, the murderer must have been a man, because Xu Lixiang was strong enough to fight him and strangle him to death, and only men with a similar physique to him could do it.
