Case 16: Chapter 1: Accidental Death
In the office of the Serious Crime Team, Li Meng brought us a picture.
This picture is a psychometric test question that we have seen many times before. The picture depicts a train, two railways.
Five people were tied to one of the rails, while one was tied to the other.
At this point you are standing on the side of the road with a switch in your hand that controls the switch of the railway, if you don't flip the switch, the train will hit and kill five people, and if you flip the switch, the train will be rerouted and only one person will be killed.
Between five people and one person, you have to make a choice.
"Why is there such a perverted question, is this moral kidnapping? Whether you choose to make or not, you will die, and if you choose, you will become a murderer. Jiang Tingbai muttered with some disgust.
"The only option is to avoid this kind of unsolvable problem, as if I didn't see anything, and this matter has nothing to do with me." Lin Zifan thought about it and said his opinion.
Obviously, Jiang Tingbai and Lin Zifan's answers did not match the answer to this question, and then Li Meng slowly explained: "This is a psychological test question in itself, and in psychology, there is a saying: You are not at fault with what you did wrong, but because you did nothing." ”
"Something is wrong, like a tongue twister." Jiang Tingbai shook his head and stepped aside.
"Xue Hang, if it's you, what do you do?" Li Meng handed the psychological test question to Xue Hang again.
Xue Hang looked at the picture carefully, thought for a while, and said lightly: "What does this question have to do with me?" I just passed by with a leather pick, and I couldn't do anything. ”
Everyone is confused, what kind of skin? Then everyone took a closer look, and the fork wrench in the hand of the person in the picture was painted like a leather wrench placed on the ground.
After hearing Xue Hang's words, everyone immediately burst out laughing, it seems that this is the only correct solution to this question.
Moreover, Xue Hang, this kid, would actually be joking.
Everyone was still immersed in Xue Hang's jokes, but I fell into deep thought.
It's not that you're doing something wrong, it's that you're not doing anything.
This sentence deserves careful consideration, and in many cases, the masses' indifference to illegal and criminal acts has indeed caused very serious consequences. The four words of righteousness and courage have slowly become an empty phrase in today's society.
"Everybody's here."
Shen Ruoshan, the boss who hadn't been seen for a long time, suddenly walked into the office.
He always has a look of non-anger and self-authority, which makes everyone unable to figure out his emotions. It was the same this time, when everyone saw him, they immediately put away their smiles and looked at him seriously.
"Boss, you are really a dragon who sees the head but does not see the end." I said with a smile.
In the entire serious crime team, I am the only one who dares to joke with him without any scruples.
The boss Shen Ruoshan showed an imperceptible smile at the corner of his mouth, and then the smile disappeared immediately, and he said to us seriously: "Here is the case again." ”
Sure enough, when the boss doesn't have a case, he won't look for us.
Since this case was handed over to us by the boss Shen Ruoshan personally, it means that this case has been directly assigned to the serious crime team for investigation.
The cases handed over to the Serious Crime Team are usually some big and important cases.
But what puzzles us all is that what we are going to solve this time is an accidental death case.
"Has the accidental death case been characterized as an accident?" Li Meng asked puzzled.
Cases that have been characterized as accidental deaths can be closed as long as there are no suspicious findings after a forensic autopsy.
"So this is a homicide case that was faked as the scene of an accidental death, it's stupid." I muttered casually.
"You're smart, I'm not done yet!" Li Meng said with disdain.
……
The crime scene was on the eighth floor of a high-end residential building in the city, and when we arrived at the crime scene, the criminal police team was conducting a careful investigation of the scene.
"You're finally here, and the case will be handed over to you." When the captain of the criminal police team, Officer Wang, saw us, rushed to me as if he had seen a savior, and grabbed my hand.
Before I could understand what was happening, he shook his hands tightly and vigorously.
"What's the situation? What to leave to us?! I asked him puzzled.
Police Wang's right hand was still holding my hand tightly and shaking constantly, maintaining a handshake posture, and the other hand waved vigorously in the air, shouting very excitedly: "Close!" ”
After saying that, Wang Gongren suddenly let go of my hand and turned around to go downstairs.
At this time, I was still confused, and immediately reached out and grabbed his back collar: "You, you, you come back to me!" ”
Police Officer Wang turned back to me a little impatiently and said, "The Shen Bureau said that I will hand over this case to your serious crime team, and I will not accompany you." ”
"Officer Wang, I don't know anything, I'll leave it to us?!" I grabbed him by the collar and didn't let go, and I was bound to ask why.
He struggled for a moment, and when he saw that he couldn't break free, he turned back a little helplessly: "This is an accidental death, not even suicide." But who made the family a rich second generation, my father used a lot of connections, so we had to catch the murderer. But this accidental death, there is no murderer, where to catch the murderer?! ”
I was even more confused, and hurriedly asked him, "What happened to die unexpectedly?!" ”
Police Officer Wang was stunned, looked at me in a daze, and asked in disbelief, "You don't know anything?!" ”
"I don't know!"
It was the first time that the five members of the serious crime team said in unison so tacitly, accompanied by a very consistent shake of their heads.
"Damn, Shen Ju didn't tell your sister anything?!" Police Wang was so surprised that he couldn't believe it.
"Don't sell it, tell me about the situation!"
I dragged him back into the room through the doorway, and at the same time blocked all the detectives who were investigating the scene in the room, and did not let any of them go.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you about the situation." Police Wang looked at the situation at the scene, and the serious crime team would not let him go easily if he was blocked at the door.
He let out a long sigh, and then told us the truth of the case with some impatience:
"The deceased's name is Du Tan, his father is a real estate developer, and he is a rich second generation. The day before yesterday, I attended a class reunion, drank too much and went home and sat on the sofa to rest, and after being drunk, because of improper sitting posture, vomit entered the trachea, and I suffocated to death. There were no signs of damage to the doors and windows, and no fingerprints or footprints other than him were found at the scene, which was obviously a case of accidental death. But we had no choice but to come to the site a second time......"
