Chapter 14: The Murder Weapon
Ma Guocai was thinking about the possibility that the murder weapon was still at the scene of the crime. Wang Qian sat in the car and looked through the record, hoping to get some clues from it. After a while, after Wang Qian read the record, she looked up at him and said, "Let's go to the scene of the crime." ”
"Okay!" Ma Guocai also wanted to take a look at it at this time, and if Wang Qian didn't say it, he would also bring it up.
The two of them plunged into the alley along the street, and not far away they saw a dilapidated brick house, the door was open, and it was covered with dust, apparently very few people came, the bricks were everywhere on the ground, and there was a part of the wall that had collapsed, and the house was not painted, and all the bricks of the wall were exposed. Such houses, in the countryside of the nineties, were very common. Most of them are side houses used to raise pigs or put some sundries.
There was no smell in the house, and Wang Qian stepped into the door and didn't go any further. After looking at it twice, he confirmed the distance from here to Xu Qiang's house, as well as the distance from the nearby residents, and said, "Let's go!"
Ma Guocai seemed to be a little whimsical and said: "Sister Qian, you said that the tools of the crime have not been found yet, are they still in this house?"
As soon as he entered the house, Ma Guocai scanned the entire room with his divine thoughts. It was found that there was a brick in two sections inside the wall on the left, which was somewhat unusual. The reason why I say this is because these two bricks are very different from other bricks, if other bricks are breath to give people a feeling of being as plain as water, then these two bricks, like wood in the water, are incompatible with the wall. And under the bricks, there is also a mass of wires. Suddenly, how similar this is to the tools in the case!
Wang Qian shook her head and said affirmatively: "I'm afraid the police have already turned the bottom in the room, how can the murder weapon still be in the house." ”
Ma Guocai did not show a happy look on the surface, and said: "I have a feeling that the murder weapon may still be in the room, let me look for it, if I find it, I will definitely be able to help Xu Qiang and let him come out as soon as possible." I can't find it, and it doesn't take much time. ”
Wang Qian smiled noncommittally, and did not stop him, obviously not optimistic about him.
Ma Guocai pretended to look around, and then looked at the wall. The head of the wall is only about three meters above the ground, and if you reach out and touch it, it is still a little short. Looking into the room, I saw an abandoned bench in the corner, and one leg had been broken. This kind of chair can still be seen in the early years of the countryside, about more than a meter long, and it was commonly used for banquets in the countryside in the past, but now it is rare.
I took the bench and tried the leg that wasn't broken, but it was okay, it was quite strong. Leaning the end of the broken leg against the wall and trying it with your hands, it should still be able to withstand the strength of a person.
When Wang Qian saw him with such a serious look, she followed him and said, "You be careful, don't find nothing, but hurt yourself." ”
Ma Guocai picked two random bricks from the house and put them on the heel of the chair to prevent him from shifting. He turned around and smiled: "It doesn't matter, it's just a little bit of a high fear." ”
As he spoke, he leaned on the wall and stepped on the bench and stood up gently. Because of the help of divine thoughts, but in order to be realistic, I still groped around the wall twice, and finally from the gap between the bricks in the wall, one of the broken bricks was deducted, and I held it in my hand, and on the other side of the red brick, I could obviously see a black mark, which seemed to be glued later.
Wang Qian saw that Ma Guocai pulled out a broken brick from the wall, and she didn't think anything about it at first, but then she realized that one of the murder weapons was a brick, and she thought, it can't really be a murder weapon.
Ma Guocai jumped down from the chair, happily came to Wang Qian's side, and said, "Sister Qian, look at this black mark, could it be dried blood?"
Wang Qian didn't touch the brick with her hand, but just looked carefully at the black mark on the brick, and felt in her heart that this might really be the murder weapon, so she hurriedly said: "You put the brick in a clean place now, don't touch it anywhere else, I will immediately call a friend in the Public Security Bureau and ask them to find a professional to take a look." ”
As he spoke, he took out the phone from his bag and dialed it.
Ma Guocai put the brick on the bench, and when he saw Wang Qian talking to someone, he continued to feel the breath of the brick with his divine sense. I wondered why the smell of this brick was so different, it gave people a very uncomfortable feeling, as if this piece would hurt people if it turned its head, could this be the so-called ferocious aura? Although it was very faint, it was this feeling.
After thinking about it, could it be that this piece of brick was stained with the blood of the deceased after turning its head and killing people, so that this kind of aura could be formed? Is there such a breath in the place where it is stained with blood? But the divine sense scanned the ground, but did not find it. Or maybe there is, but it's gone! Maybe it's because it has something to do with the person's grudge before death! After all, the murder weapon is directly related to the deceased, and it may be contaminated with the aura of fear of it. Ma Guocai can only guess like this.
The two of them waited in the hut for a short time when they saw three or four policemen come in.
Wang Qian obviously knew one of them, talked a few words, explained the cause and effect, and then pointed to the brick next to Ma Guocai, and said, "Captain Wu, it's that brick, please take a look." ”
Captain Wu motioned for a police officer carrying a suitcase next to him to come over and take a look. The officer took out a pair of glasses from the box and put them on, then some forensic equipment, then put on leather gloves, picked up the bricks and looked at them.
After a while, the police officer said to Captain Wu: "Team Wu, it has been confirmed that this brick is indeed stained with blood, and other results need to be brought back for further examination." ”
Everyone was overjoyed, and Team Wu immediately instructed the police officers around him: "Xiao Liu, go to the nearby residents to find a ladder to come over, there may be other murder weapons in the wall." ”
"Okay, I'll go right away. So saying, he rushed out.
The officer who was stallowing the bricks packed the bricks in a bag, wrote the code and the location of the discovery, and put them in a small box.
Captain Wu began to ask Ma Guocai some basic information, such as who he was, when he came to Shashi, how he found these things, and so on.
Ma Guocai also answered honestly, just like what Wang Qian said, it was a complete coincidence. As for whether Captain Wu believes this coincidence or not, that's none of his business. Anyway, there is no doubt that he can be suspected, seven or eight years ago, he was still in the country!
Soon the officer who went out borrowed a ladder from the neighborhood, and the policeman who did the identification climbed up the wall, and carefully began to grope in it, and after a while, he found another truncated brick, and then took out the crumpled wire from the bottom. Fortunately, the red bricks were staggered, and the wires did not fall deeper.
From the bricks and wires found, it has basically been confirmed that this is the murder weapon in the case.
Wang Qian was also very happy, and she didn't expect that there would be such a big harvest today. As soon as the appraisal results come out, basically the facts of the case will be clear. It has saved her an unknown amount of unnecessary trouble!
When separating from Captain Wu and the others, Wang Qian and Team Wu made an appointment to get the forensic appraisal results.
