Chapter 25: Where's the Murder Weapon?
Lao Liu's finger was on the trigger, and with a little force, Alan Chen would die.
"You brought it all upon yourself." Lao Liu almost felt the pleasure of revenge stirring in his body.
At this point, a man in blue and red blocked the muzzle of his gun.
Lao Liu was displeased, thinking about moving the muzzle of the gun and continuing to shoot, and when he saw the person blocking the gun clearly, he frowned, released the trigger with his fingers, and put the gun behind his trouser belt when no one noticed.
There were two men in red and blue uniforms, two officers from the city security station, who passed the raucous crowd and went straight to the gate.
"You're Aaron Chen?" A male police officer, with short hair and sharp eyes, asked in a very serious manner.
Alan Chen couldn't help but become serious: "I am." ”
"Come with us." The female police officer next to her spoke, she looked relatively gentle, with good features and a small bun tied at the back of her head.
Tong Xin looked at Chen Aaron worriedly, for fear that his biggest support would disappear again.
Chen Aaron smiled gently at the child's heart: "It's okay, don't worry." ”
He asked the officer in front of him, "What did I do?" ”
The male police officer did not answer directly, but looked around the recycle bin and said, "You say you are the administrator here?" The recycling station in the eastern suburbs is clearly a publicly-owned area. ”
Chen Alun claimed to be the administrator of the recycling station in the eastern suburbs, but the actual ownership was not in his hands, but in the dead second deputy mayor.
Since the second deputy mayor could not come forward to manage it, the headhunters took over and put away the protection fee.
Chen Aaron drove away the headhunter gang and naturally took on the responsibility of management.
Of course, in the face of public officials, he has no excuse.
Alan Chen sneered: "I'm just escrow, escrow." ”
"Alright, stop talking nonsense, let's go." The male police officer waved at Chen Aaron, and said to the crowd queuing at the door, "It's all gone, it's gone." ”
The crowd was reluctant to leave, not because they were reluctant to give up Alan Chen, but because they were reluctant to give up the gold that might exist in the recycling station!
Lao Liu saw that the police were coming, and if he wanted to shoot Chen Aaron, he would only take himself.
Missing the opportunity, he chose to continue to mix in the crowd and leave.
Alan Chen glanced at the crowd and smiled meaningfully.
"Get in the car." The male officer said, pointing to a blue and red police car at the intersection.
As a state agency, it is not uncommon to own a car, but it is still the characteristic style of the Navian border country, and there are no windows in the car.
After getting into the police car, the male and female officers first introduced themselves.
The male police officer's name is Li Tian, who is a police officer in charge of criminal homicide security in the Garrison Bureau, and the female police officer is called Lu Wan, who is in the same position as Li Tian.
"I'm just taking over as an administrator, so I'm not breaking the law, right?"
Li Tian snorted: "Using the common property of the state to make profits for oneself is not a big crime, and it is not small to say that it is not small. ”
"That pile of garbage is also placed, how can it become a common property?" Alan Chan defended himself.
"If you talk back, believe it or not, will you be arrested and sent to jail?" Li Tian threatened fiercely.
"Okay, Senior Brother Li, can you get down to business?" Lu Wan couldn't stand it anymore and reminded loudly.
Li Tian cleared his throat and changed the topic: "Actually, I didn't have any management with the administrator of the recycling station in the eastern suburbs today, and we came to you for another purpose." ”
Chen Aaron breathed a sigh of relief: "I said it earlier, I thought something big was wrong." ”
Li Tian glanced back at him: "Something big happened, someone died." ”
"Aristocrats? Or leadership? ”
Alan Chen's first reaction was that the nobles and leaders were dead, so they deserved to be taken so seriously by the Security Bureau.
After all, there are countless homeless people who have starved to death and workers who have died of exhaustion, and the garrison bureau cannot manage it if it wants to.
There was a bit of contempt in Li Tian's eyes: "In your eyes, is it a big deal only if these people die?" ”
He has always regarded Alan Chan as a philistine villain who seeks his own personal interests, disregards policies and rules, disregards the life and death of others, and only believes that money is supreme.
Chen Aaron said calmly: "There are so many people dying in the suburbs every month, and I have never seen anyone from the garrison take a look. ”
Li Tian stopped talking, his lips were under his lips, and his expression was solemn.
Lu Wan took over the conversation: "This time, several workers in the steel plant were killed one after another, and it was a deliberate murder, and the superior leaders attached great importance to it, so let's find out the real culprit within a week." ”
Li Tian interrupted Lu Wan and said, "Don't talk too much to him." ”
Li Tian spoke to Chen Aaron, in an almost commanding tone: "Your task is to assist us in finding the murder weapon." Isn't your recycle bin in the business of helping people find things? Let's see if you have what it takes. ”
From the beginning, Li Tian's attitude towards Chen Aaron was not very good, but fortunately, Chen Aaron didn't care too much, he was more concerned about the case.
"Steel mills? How is it a steel mill again? ”
The word has been coming up so often lately, as if there is a force in the dark pushing him to that place, where all the clues will eventually converge.
"You have triggered the Traces side quest [Find the Murder Weapon]: Assist the police to solve the case and reward 1 skill point."
The handheld gave new instructions, and Alan Chen closed it after checking it.
Even if he doesn't have a mission, he'll find out.
After announcing the task, Li Tian didn't open his mouth to explain more, and drove off the road and entered a special road leading to the factory.
To the south of the eastern suburbs, there is an area where a large number of factories are stationed, and further south is the national border, and the advantage of building a factory here is that it is rich in mineral resources, far away from residential buildings, and waste water and waste gas will not pollute the living environment.
Seeing the police car coming, the gate of the factory was raised in advance, and Li Tian drove straight in.
Alan Chen noticed the name of the factory written on the gate: Lunt Iron and Steel Works.
Instead of going straight into the main building, the police car went around to the door of a dormitory building in the back.
"The deceased's name is Figo, an expatriate who came to settle here very early and has been working in this steel mill ever since." Li got out of the car and skillfully put on white gloves with Lu Wan.
Li Tian planned to give Alan Chen a pair, but Alan Chen showed his Kevlar gloves and refused with a smile: "No need, I have it." ”
Li Tian didn't care, and took Chen Aaron up to the second floor, the penultimate dormitory on the left side of the corridor, with a seal on the doorknob to restrict other personnel from entering and leaving.
When I opened the door, I was greeted by the smell of oil, there were no windows in the house, the air circulation was poor, and there was a musty smell.
There were a few pairs of messy footprints on the ground, and next to the door, a black body bag came into view, and Chen Aaron's heart couldn't help but beat faster.
Lu Wan took out the report and read it according to it: "It is reported that at about ten o'clock the night before yesterday, Figo returned to the dormitory after work, and was killed and fell to the ground not long after entering the door, because his roommates resigned one after another a few days ago, and his dormitory was at the end of the corridor, so it was not until the next night that someone found Figo dead and called the police." ”
Li Tian waved his hand not very satisfied: "You don't have to say so much, it's not certain whether he is useful or not!" ”
Chen Aaron was just an unemployed vagrant who was called over temporarily, and there was no need for the police to reveal too much information to him.
"Now, Figo collapsed at the entrance, we found no obvious wounds on him, no serious medical history, and the first few steel mill workers also died so inexplicably, so for the time being, it is considered murder."
Li Tian handed a small piece of iron to Chen Aaron: "This is the only thing that does not belong to the deceased at the scene, you have been in the recycling station for a long time, can you see what this thing is?" ”
Alan Chen picked up a small piece of iron and looked at the light outside the door.
The surface looks like just an ordinary round iron sheet, and the surface is very flat and sharp, indicating that it has undergone excellent cutting and polishing technology, and the starting quality is not light, slightly heavier than the handheld.
Cutting with edges can kill, but the wound will be very noticeable.
There is an imperceptible dent in the center of the round iron plate, as if it had been left after a collision with some object.
"This is a steel mill, isn't it common to have this thing?" Alan Chan asked.
Li Tian's eyes rolled, and his distrust of Chen Aaron deepened again.
"It seems that you don't have any doorway, the steel mill here usually does large-scale steel casting, with hot molten iron directly poured mold pressing, such a small iron sheet is not the production scope of their factory, and such a fine process, requires a lot of cost input, this steel plant does not have this production level."
"Molten iron?" Alan Chan heard another familiar word.
Could it be that the mixture of gold and iron in the stone also came from here?
Li Tian decided that Chen Aaron couldn't help much, so he asked Lu Wan to send a car to take him back, and decided to stay and continue to look for clues.
"Wait a minute, can I see the body?" Alan Chan made a request.
didn't expect Chen Aaron to offer to see the corpse, Lu Wan and Li Tian exchanged glances and reluctantly agreed.
"You can only see it, you can't get started." Li Tian unzipped the body bag.
A smell of decay wafted out, Chen Alun had already smelled the stench in various places, but there was no reaction, he stepped forward and opened the body bag, and the face of the corpse was completely exposed.
Figo's face was intact, except for purplish-red marks under his skin, unsure if it was a corpse spot or something else.
There were really no signs of blow on the outside, and the corpse was clean, except for the oil stained by some mechanical work, nothing could be seen.
But if people can't see it, the handheld may not be able to see it.
Chen Aaron took out his handheld and was about to take a picture, but Li Tian immediately wanted to stop: "What are you doing?" ”
"Keep a souvenir." Alan Chan said.
Li Tian immediately frowned: "Without permission, it is forbidden to shoot at the scene of the crime, so delete it quickly!" ”
Alan Chen opened the empty photo album: "Actually, my handheld is broken, and I can't save any photos." ”
Li Tian's brows furrowed even tighter.
Chen Aaron just wanted to take revenge on Li Tian's contempt for himself, and seeing that Li Tian was about to get angry, he also returned to his serious appearance.
After the scan line, an identification result was obtained.
"The corpse died of cyanide poisoning, which can block the biological oxidation of tissue cells, paralyzing the respiratory center and eventually leading to death, as evidenced by bright red marks on the skin."
Li Tian and Lu Wan looked at each other.
There are no forensic doctors in the border countries of Navia, so it is impossible to do poison identification and autopsy, and there are no cases of obvious trauma, which makes it difficult to investigate.
However, Alan Chen, a little-known fake owner of the recycling station, took a photo and analyzed that the deceased died of poisoning? Or cyanide poisoning?
Li Tian's brows loosened a little: "Are you sure?" ”
Lu Wan asked unconvincedly, "Why did he come into contact with cyanide?" ”
Alan Chen took out the wave sensor and scanned the corpse to find out the reason.
"It's not the cyanide he came into contact with, it's someone who injected poison into his body!"
Li Tian's face softened a little: "But we didn't find a needle eye on the corpse." ”
"It's not an injection, of course I can't see the eye of the needle, so please find a knife." Alan Chan said.
"Knives?" Lu Wan looked around the room, and there was almost no pocket knife.
"Use mine." Li Tian handed over his folding knife.
Li Tian's attitude towards Alon Chen has changed, but he still has a wait-and-see look.
"What do you want to do?"
Chen Aaron stabbed the corpse in the chest without looking back: "What else can you do?" Find the murder weapon! ”
