Chapter 7: Fingerprints on Vases

I got the identity information of the fourth-floor tenant, the deceased, from the landlord.

According to the copy of the ID card, the deceased's name is Lu Xiuying, 48 years old this year, from other provinces.

The rental contract is very perfect, the terms are clear, and there is Lu Xiuying's autograph on the last page, as well as a red cinnabar handprint.

I handed a copy of my ID card to Officer Wang beside me: "Officer Wang, investigate the details of the deceased." There is also her movement trajectory and ticket purchase records. She is not from Ningzhou City, and she came to Ningzhou City alone to most likely come to join her relatives and investigate her social relations. ”

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. This is a vicious burglary and homicide case, and I'm afraid you'll have to show up for the serious crime team. Officer Wang took a copy of his ID card and handed it to a criminal policeman beside him.

I smiled slightly, and said lightly: "What are we yours, we are all criminal police, and we are all within our own affairs." ”

After speaking, I settled down, looked at the landlord seriously, and asked. "When did this person rent the house, and what connected you?"

The landlord looked at me lightly and said in a deep voice: "I still have a good impression of this tenant, because in recent months, I have rented this house. She called me after seeing the ad I left. She spoke with a southern accent on the phone, and I thought it was a scam call.

The first thing she said was to ask me if I had a house to rent, and she wanted to rent one.

I originally rented a house, and I was naturally very happy when a tenant came to my door, so I made an appointment to meet with her.

After all, taking her to see the room and talking about the rent always has to be interviewed.

So after I hung up the phone that day, I came straight over and asked her which one she wanted to rent, and the whole building was mine anyway.

She said she wanted to rent the highest four floors, so I opened the door and showed her.

After looking at the room, she immediately agreed, and the rent was not negotiated with me, but she asked for a monthly rent.

I don't agree with that, because I've never rented like this. Generally, it is an annual rent, a half-year rent, and the most recent rent is a quarterly rent.

She said that she had come to Ningzhou to look for a job, and if she found a job for food and shelter, she would check out.

I see that she is dressed quite shabby, has no luggage, and still has a southern accent, and she does look like she has come to Ningzhou City to find a job.

In order to highlight the hospitality of our Ningzhou people, we should give some warmth to outsiders.

And now this season is the off-season for renting, and there are no tenants at all, so I simply agreed, but I had to pay the rent in advance. ”

The uncle's description is very graphic, and after listening to his words, I already have a general image of the deceased in my mind.

But why was a foreigner looking for a job in Ningzhou City killed by someone breaking into a house?

And it's also obvious abuse, with a deep hatred.

In just half a month, who can she make an enmity with? Or did an enemy follow all the way to Ningzhou City? And thus revenge on her?

But with whom and for what can such a person have such a great hatred?

"Do you know anything else about this tenant?" I made up my mind and continued to ask him.

The uncle raised his eyebrows slightly, and pondered for a while: "At that time, I asked her what kind of job she was looking for, and whether she needed my help." After all, we Ningzhou people are hospitable, and it is a handful to be able to help such a stranger who has no relatives and no support. But she didn't answer me, saying that she could find it. ”

After the uncle finished speaking, he took a deep breath, slowly exhaled it, and said lightly: "But it is understandable, she is not familiar with the place where she came to Ningzhou City, and it is normal to be wary of people, so I didn't ask any more." Then we signed a rental contract, she paid a month's rent, and I left. ”

I nodded and continued to ask the uncle, "Is there anything else?" ”

The uncle shook his head and said in a deep voice, "There is nothing else." ”

"Okay uncle, thank you for your cooperation." I nodded, handed the uncle over to Officer Wang, and turned around and walked into the residential building.

I hadn't gone far before I heard a conversation between the uncle and Officer Wang behind me.

"Comrade policeman, is she breaking the law? If she is caught, I won't refund the rent! ”

"It's okay, no one asks for your rent."

"Oh, that's good, that's good."

Returning to the scene of the crime again, Ren Qiushi and Zeng Lan's on-site autopsy work was also nearing completion. The next thing that needs to be done is to bring the body back for further autopsy and related bioassays.

At the same time, the technical team also cleaned up more than half of the site, and they sorted the broken items on the site, and no fingerprints were found.

Next, the technical team picked up a broken long-necked vase, which was made of transparent glass. The neck of the vase is intact, but the body underneath is completely shattered, with very uneven edges and cracks.

The technical team opened the trace inspection toolbox beside them, dipped a brush in some magnetic powder, and gently swept it on the long-necked vase.

The next moment, a complete fingerprint appeared.

The technical team sergeant, who had just been a little annoyed by this tedious and fruitless work, suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the fingerprints on the vase in his hand, and his face gradually showed an expression of excitement.

"Fingerprints! There are fingerprints! The technical team officer immediately shouted, and immediately began to collect fingerprints on the vase.

This shout can be regarded as a reassuring pill for all of us, and after a busy morning, we finally have a clue!

Jiang Tingbai was the most excited, he hurriedly walked to the technical team, looked at the long-necked glass vase in his hand, and said seriously: "It is very likely that the murderer beat the deceased with this vase, so he left fingerprints!" ”

This look of excitement and excitement appeared on the faces of all of us, and the hundred secrets finally slipped, and even though the murderer was very cunning, he still left clues.

Maybe the murderer faked the scene of the fight in order to hide this vase with fingerprints!

"There is no perfect crime in the world, as long as it is committed by a person, it will definitely leave traces!" I let out a long sigh of relief and said in a deep voice.

The discovery of this fingerprint gave a lot of motivation to the technical team officers, and after the fingerprint collection was completed, they immediately devoted themselves to the work of finding fingerprint traces of other broken objects.

Now, with the identity information of the deceased and the fingerprint clues left by the murderer, we can start to solve this vicious burglary.
