Chapter 2: Murder in a Closed Room
The deceased's name is An Lingyu, male, living alone, a tenant of the Zhu family's murderous house, who has just moved in less than a week. During the night, the house suddenly caught fire, the fire was huge, and the fire brigade arrived in time to control the fire, which did not harm the neighbors.
When the firefighters broke the window and entered the house, An Lingyu had already died in bed, and after the death, the criminal police detachment of the Public Security Bureau of the jurisdiction intervened in the investigation as soon as possible, and after a forensic autopsy, it was found that An Lingyu did not die of the fire. In other words, he was dead before the fire.
After investigation, the doors and windows at the scene were closed, and they were all locked from the inside, and the entire Zhu family's murderous house became a perfect secret room......
After receiving the boss's task, the serious crime team didn't even know what was going on, so they were sent by the boss to Linshi.
The Serious Crime Unit is such a department, which was born for serious and important cases.
In the car, I looked out the window and slowly closed the file in my hand.
The distance to the city is not far, about three hours by car. On the way, we circulated the file, which is the only information about the case at the moment.
"Murder in a closed room? That's pretty cool, right?! Jiang Tingbai looked at the file in his hand, and subconsciously said something that was not quite in line with the identity of the criminal policeman.
He is an expert in trace science, and he usually deals with fingerprints, footprints and other traces left at the murder scene, and is a typical person who relies on evidence to handle cases. Now that the case is characterized as a murder in a closed room, he is more interested in the reasoning process.
"The focus of the murder in the closed room is how the murderer left the scene after committing the crime, and now there is surveillance everywhere, isn't it easy to investigate this kind of thing?" After Xue Hang read the file, he didn't think there was anything special about this case.
"That's right, it's not a detective mystery novel, how can there be so many high-IQ crimes." Li Meng disagreed, and was a little dissatisfied with this hurried journey.
Generally speaking, everyone is still more interested in this Zhu family's murder case in the secret room. What makes everyone unhappy is that we don't believe that this locked room murder case will be perfect, it must be the incompetence of the local police, or the deliberate invitation of the serious crime team to perform.
In this way, the Serious Crime Unit is a group of stage actors.
"Since we are invited to come over, this case will definitely not be as simple as we thought, let's see it when we get to the scene later." I took a deep breath and said slowly.
At this time, I always felt an inexplicable panic, and this feeling has never been felt before. I feel more and more that this case is a little weird.
On the way, I received a message from the boss, saying that a trainee criminal police officer named Lu Ke arrived tonight, studying with the serious crime team, and let us take him with us.
When I first heard the name, I only felt a little familiar, but when I recalled it carefully, I remembered that he was the policeman at the scene in Dongli Park, with a keen sense of observation and the ability to never forget.
It turned out that Lu Ke was very excited when he heard that the serious crime team set off to handle the case, so he found his old criminal police master, and the old criminal police saw that he was a good seedling, so he contacted Shen Ruoshan. Judging from the qualifications of the two of them, Shen Ruoshan wanted to call the old criminal policeman a senior brother, and this kind of thing was not easy to refuse, so he agreed that Lu Ke would study with the serious crime team.
As soon as the car left the highway, he saw a police car parked at the intersection.
Although we were in a private car, there were no police markings on the body. When the police car saw us, it honked its horn at us, then turned on the siren and cleared the way for us.
"That's too flamboyant, isn't it?" Lin Zifan was very dissatisfied with their behavior.
"It can be regarded as the importance of us, the case is urgent, take us directly to the scene of the crime, and there is nothing wrong with turning on the siren to open the way." I calmed everyone's emotions and led everyone to make all preparations for going to the scene of the crime to investigate.
The police car opened the road and the road was unimpeded. To our great shock, the police car did not take me directly to the local police station or the scene of the crime, but took us to a hotel?!
We frowned, looking at the restaurant in front of us, which was not low-standard, and we were very disgusted.
"Damn it, take us to eat and drink here at public expense? I'm not going! Jiang Tingbai just got out of the car, without any evasion, and vented his dissatisfaction in his heart straightforwardly, which made the two criminal policemen who led the way for us very embarrassed.
"Old dog, don't get excited, let's go first and see the situation." I patted him on the shoulder and followed the two policemen who led the way into the hotel.
As soon as we walked into the private room, several men in the room immediately stopped chatting, got up and nodded to us, and sitting in the middle was the deputy director of the local public security bureau, his surname was Zhang, and the boss mentioned him to me before leaving.
In order to receive the serious crime team and his entourage, the local public security bureau specially held a banquet here, accompanied by some important members of the public security bureau and several government leaders.
I looked at the table full of sumptuous dishes and smiled slightly: "Zhang Ju, we are all rough people, and we are not used to eating these delicacies from the mountains and seas." ”
Director Zhang naturally heard the meaning of my words, and explained with a smile on his face: "The serious case team is a distinguished guest, Lao Shen's trump card, if it weren't for the big case, we wouldn't have invited it!" Hahaha! Everyone, please take a seat, it is not a tribute to prepare a little wine here today, everyone can eat and drink with confidence, this meal is my treat, not public funds. ”
He is the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, and I am just an ordinary police officer, and the gap between us is not ordinarily big in terms of position. But now that we're part of the Serious Crime Unit, it's a different story. Zhang Ju was very polite to us and invited us to sit down one by one.
"I'm an old acquaintance with your team leader Shen Ruoshan, we're all family, let's sit down, let's talk about the case while eating."
Under the hospitality, even if we have great dissatisfaction in our hearts, it is not easy to refuse.
Forget it, it's not just a meal, it's not a big deal.
"When we are on official business, let's replace wine with tea. Come, let's raise a glass together and wash the dust for the serious crime team! Director Zhang raised his glass and gestured to us.
During the banquet, Director Zhang continued to persuade us to drink and let the food, and the captain of the criminal police under his command also personally served soup for us and respectfully served it in front of us.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Director Zhang still avoided talking about this case, I took the initiative to mention this matter and asked him with a smile: "Bureau Zhang, there is a case in the jurisdiction, just hand it over to the criminal police under your command to investigate, how do you see your sad face?" ”
When Director Zhang heard me ask, he smiled awkwardly and slowly said the reason: "Alas, I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes when I say it, I, I've been a policeman for half my life, and I retired at the end of this year. I invited you here this time to ask you to help solve the case. ”
"Don't be so polite, our serious case team was established for a serious case, and now that we are full of food and drink, let's talk about the case." I said lightly.
Director Zhang nodded, and glanced at the captain of the criminal police beside him, who immediately took out a file and handed it to me with both hands.
This is a site survey report with several photos of the site.
I took a brief look and asked him, "What about the autopsy report?" ”
"The autopsy is ongoing, and the report is still in the forensic department." The captain of the criminal police said.
"Okay, let's go to the forensic department first, and then go to the scene of the crime." I put the file away and laid out my next plan.
"Well, let's go to the forensic department first, everyone have a good rest tonight, and I'll take you to the scene of the crime tomorrow." The captain of the criminal police said slowly.
"Why are you going to the scene of the crime tomorrow?" I'm puzzled.
The captain of the criminal police looked embarrassed and a little embarrassed: "That's ...... That's a murderous house......"
