Chapter 15: Ni Xueqing
Ni Xueqing's sudden death has indeed brought a huge impact and obstacles to this case.
None of us expected that she would die, and so quickly.
The person who found Ni Xueqing dead was a sanitation worker who lived here.
The evils of the world will be hidden in some dirty corners, waiting for people to discover.
Because no one wants to go into a dirty corner.
So, only when you stand in hell and look up at heaven can you truly understand the wailing from the depths of hell.
According to incomplete statistics, in homicide cases, the first people to find the body and call the police are usually two kinds of people - sanitation workers and waste pickers.
Downstairs in Building No. 6 of Linbei Community, a long cordon has been set up, and police officers wearing criminal scene investigation uniforms printed on them are investigating the scene.
"You called the police?" Lin Zifan walked quickly to a female sanitation worker in her fifties wearing orange overalls.
"Yes...... It was I who called the police. The sanitation workers looked at us in a daze, and for a moment they were a little panicked.
"How did you find the body?" Lin Zifan asked seriously.
The sanitation worker's face was a little ugly, she seemed to be a little anxious, and kept looking at her watch.
"It's okay, you don't have to worry about being late for work, you are now assisting the Ningzhou police in investigating the homicide, if there is any problem with the work unit, we will come forward to help you communicate and coordinate." Lin Zifan saw the doubts of the sanitation workers and said seriously.
After listening to Lin Zifan's words, the sanitation worker swallowed hard, and his expression became obviously soothed: "When I was about to go out to work this morning, I met her downstairs......"
It turned out that the sanitation worker and Ni Xueqing lived in the same residential building and were upstairs and downstairs neighbors.
Subsequently, the sanitation worker told Lin Zifan in detail about the whole process of finding Ni Xueqing's body-
"This morning, I was about to leave for work and saw her in the hallway on the first floor.
It was just dawn, and I couldn't see the situation clearly, but I saw a girl lying on the ground, exuding a strong smell of alcohol.
I was still wondering at the time, thinking about how young people are like this now, seeing that this girl is also in her twenties, it is really too unusual, going out and drinking so much wine at night alone, so drunk that she can't even go home.
What a dangerous thing it is to be out there alone! It's so unbelievable!
I walked up to her and wanted to ask her what family she belonged to, and send her home to sleep, she can't sleep here, right?
I crouched down beside her and patted her on the back.
But she didn't move, and I seemed to smell a smell of blood in the wine.
I greeted her and nudged her arm.
I didn't think much of it at the time, and was going to sit her up first. When I lifted her upper body up with both hands, I suddenly felt that her body was limp, and there was no strength at all.
Then, I suddenly saw that her chest was covered in blood, her face was pale, her eyes were closed, and she was dead!
At that time, I was frightened, hurriedly threw her to the ground again, hurriedly ran out of the building, and took out the phone to call the police. ”
After listening to the sanitation worker, Lin Zifan continued to ask, "What time did you find her?" ”
The sanitation worker immediately said without thinking: "I left the house at half past four, and I found her only a few minutes later." ”
"Do you know her?" Lin Zifan nodded and continued to ask.
The sanitation worker shook his head and said lightly: "I don't know, but she fell on the first floor, and she should also live in this building." ”
"Was there anyone nearby when you found her? Or is there something on site? Lin Zifan asked seriously.
The sanitation worker looked at Lin Zifan in a daze, and suddenly showed a smile: "I know, I often watch movies about the police solving cases, I didn't see the suspect, and there was nothing around her." I have been here since I called the police, and I have not let anyone in. ”
After listening to the sanitation worker's reply, Lin Zifan also smiled.
"Okay, cooperate with us to collect fingerprints and footprints later, and you can go to work." Lin Zifan said lightly, then handed her over to a criminal policeman and turned to leave.
The technical team had arrived and started the investigation of the scene, and the forensic department and the serious crime team had arrived within five minutes.
Li Meng trotted all the way to my side, and she saw the woman lying on the ground at a glance, and let out an exclamation: "Isn't she Ni Xueqing?!" ”
I nodded and said in a deep voice, "That's right, it seems that it's killing people again." ”
Li Meng stared at Ni Xueqing on the ground, and was a little distracted for a while.
Li Meng's hair was a little messy, and there was a red mark on the side of his face, which should have been pressed out of sleep.
It seems that she has just woken up and hurried over.
It's rare to see her pure makeup without combing her face or washing her face, but it doesn't seem to have changed, after all, she is a police officer who often has to go out to investigate the scene, and she is almost without makeup every day.
"How could she die?!" Li Meng frowned, his eyes were very dazed.
It seemed that she had indeed just woken up, and her brain was blank.
But I did understand a little and said to her: "It should be that the murderer noticed that her selling D had been discovered by the Where to Buy police, and knew that our next step was to find her to investigate, so he killed her first." If it is the same person as the murderer of Ruan Ningman, then the murder method this time is too rough, and there is no way to deal with the crime scene, indicating that the murderer is already a little panicked. ”
Li Meng looked at me in a daze, thought for a while, slowly digested my words, and then said with some puzzlement: "So, last night, the murderer was in the Forget Worry Music Bar?!" Those eyes that have been watching us are the murderer?! ”
"It's very likely, it seems that the murderer is already in a hurry, more anxious than we are. But this is a good thing, because the more urgent the murderer, the more flaws will be revealed. And every flaw in him will become a clue, which will be infinitely magnified in our place. As I spoke, the expression on my face became more and more solemn.
Now that two dead people have been found, we are getting closer and closer to the killer, and the murderer seems to be there with us all along.
I settled down and walked to Ren Qiushi and Zeng Lan's side.
"The mortis has not yet been fully formed, and is mainly concentrated in the proximal ends of the limbs, indicating that the time of death is very close, it must be within six hours." Ren Qiushi said in a deep voice.
I stood behind him and said slowly, "The deceased was also a staff member at the Forget Worries Music Bar, she died here, and she should have come home from work. ”
Zeng Lan nodded and looked at her watch: "It's half past five in the morning, and the time of her death should have been three hours ago, that is, around two o'clock in the morning." ”
