Criminal evidence

In less than ten days, a three-year-old girl was raped, murdered, and thrown away, to a baby girl whose right hand was cut off from an unknown source in the vegetable market and then begged along the street, and then to a woman Lu Qinghe met at night and was beaten and severely injured by young gangsters who were not doing business. She is still in a coma do not wake up.

These vicious crimes followed one after another, and all of them were fierce, without giving anyone any chance to breathe.

After Shen Changyan listened, his fingers holding the materials tightened uncontrollably. He originally planned to summarize and sort out the recent cases, and then redistribute the content in their hands.

Unexpectedly, this sudden encounter disrupted all his plans.

The people in the office looked at each other, and Lu Qinghe, who usually talked the most, also shut his mouth at this time.

Shen Changyan put down the documents in his hand on the nearby desk, and he took the lead to walk outside.

"What's the specific situation?"

Zhang An followed quickly, "On the fourth floor of Building 55, Hutong No. [-], Changjie, the deceased was a male, aged over [-]. The scene was messy and there were traces of fighting, and a fruit knife at least six centimeters long was inserted into the deceased's abdomen. , was injured in many places, and the scene of the crime was very bloody."

"Damn, how cruel are you?" Lu Qinghe followed with a limp leg, "Then this thing is either robbery or vendetta."

"It shouldn't be robbery." Zhang An denied.

"According to the first round of interviews with the surrounding neighbors, the deceased's surname was Zhou, his wife died young, his son, wife and granddaughter were all involved in accidents ten years ago, and he had some strange signs of madness early on. He came and went, and the time of the incident should have been three days ago, because the house next door heard the sound of violent fighting and shouting, but he was too scared to go out to check."

Shen Changyan asked, "Did the neighbor call the police?"

Zhang An replied, "Because the hot weather will intensify the decay of the corpse, the stench has already spread. However, the person who called the police was not a neighbor, but a shop selling bean curds downstairs, because the stench affected their business."

"Then this neighbor is very problematic." Lu Qinghe said, "Even if it is human nature to dare not go out when hearing the sound of fighting, it is impossible to remain indifferent when you smell a strange rancid smell the next day and the third day. People in business are stigmatized like this, how many days can they live in the opposite door?"

Zhang An nodded in agreement after listening, and he said, "To be honest, I also think there is something wrong with that neighbor, but according to the feedback from upstairs and downstairs, the fighting sound continued for a long time that night, and not only their family heard it."

Shen Changyan walked in the front, and his pace of going downstairs gradually accelerated. He agreed with Lu Qinghe's statement.

"Yes, even if the house next door is not the direct murderer, they must have met and contacted the murderer."

Upon hearing this, Zhang An quickly understood the meaning of the words, and asked quickly, "Captain Shen, what do you mean, the house next door probably met the murderer, or was afraid of the other party's revenge, so they didn't dare to call the police?"

Shen Changyan didn't answer, but with his usual style of doing things, not denying it is considered acquiescing.

The three of them walked downstairs in a single file. As soon as they arrived at the office hall on the first floor, Shen Changyan greeted Zhang An.

"You go to the scene of the crime first."

Zhang An was stunned, "Captain Shen, are you not going?"

"I'll take him to the hospital first." Shen Changyan looked back at Lu Qinghe, "Come as soon as we're done."

Only then did Zhang An come back to his senses, he looked in the direction of Lu Qinghe, and then he remembered to ask, "No, why don't you stay in the hospital as a wounded person and come here?"

I didn't expect that the topic would suddenly fall on me, even though the questioning came as a matter of course.

Lu Qinghe replied hesitantly, "Well, what, didn't I have any serious accidents? It's just a minor injury, and besides, there are so many things in the team, how can I stay in the hospital? Everyone has the strength to go to the scene together, but if I stay in the office to look through the materials, I can still do it."

Shen Changyan continued coldly, "There is no shortage of file reviewers in our team."

Lu Qinghe defended, "The posting of photos, the drawing of relationship diagrams, the management of interpersonal relationships, and the form for analyzing the progress of the previous case, don't all these things have to be done by someone?"

There are indeed a lot of pressure, and it is true that there is a shortage of manpower, but even in this situation, it is not necessary to squeeze a patient.

Shen Changyan didn't bother to argue with Lu Qinghe, he was planning to tie the person directly to the bicycle and throw him into the hospital to finish the job.

But who knew that thinking like this in their minds, the three of them actually bumped into Lin Juan who was sweating profusely and panting from the hospital on foot before they even had time to go out the door of the office hall.

"I go."

Unexpectedly meeting here, Lu Qinghe's little dirty words just fell into Shen Changyan's ears.

It was only then that I realized that the two of them were together last night, if Lu Qinghe sneaked out and didn't let Lin Juan know...

"Brother Lu."

The girl's face was flushed, and she was almost out of breath.

Standing in front of Shen Changyan, she stretched out her hand to cover her slightly sore lower abdomen due to a gash, her legs were so weak and tired that she could hardly straighten her waist.

The main door of the office hall is not too narrow, but Shen Changyan standing here alone seems to block all the way.

Lin Juan took a few heavy breaths, raised her head and glanced back, then took a step back, and greeted Shen Changyan politely.

"Hello, Captain Shen."

Shen Changyan nodded, but didn't answer.

Lin Juan glanced back again, and when she saw Lu Qinghe's dodging figure, she asked, "Brother Lu, why did you run out without telling me?"

There was a bit of complaint in this tone, as if the little girlfriend was acting like a baby with someone.

Looking at the scene, Zhang An squeezed out from behind Shen Changyan and said, "Captain Shen, you guys talk, I'll go to the scene first."

Shen Changyan said, "Let's go together."

Since someone has already come to pick him up, why should he make this extra trip.

Thinking this way in my heart, I was about to leave, but suddenly a pair of hands stretched out from behind to grab my waist.

Shen Changyan was almost dragged back by Lu Qinghe forcefully.

"Don't go, Shen Changyan, I really don't have a big problem. If you don't believe me, just go back to the hospital with me and ask the doctor in charge. I really can't lie down on that hospital bed. You know, let me stay in bed." It would be better to kill me directly than to stay in the hospital for three days."

The back suddenly pressed against the hot chest of the other party, and Shen Changyan's mind was almost blank for ten seconds.

Lu Qinghe relied on him, and even chose to ask him for help under such circumstances.

In the current situation, Shen Changyan has more rights than anyone else to decide whether Lu Qinghe should continue to be hospitalized, and it is Lu Qinghe himself who decides.

Lin Juan still thought that her brother was playing with a childish temper, so she frowned and became serious.

"Brother Lu, you've been hurt for a hundred days. This is no joke. Stop being self-willed and go back with me."

The girl's tone was rather persistent, with some non-negotiable determination.

It was also for the good of Lu Qinghe, after all, he was injured with a stick, and the lack of plaster on his legs and feet did not mean that there was no pain at all. Shen Changyan knew that it was best for him to go back to the hospital and lie down at this time.

But at this time, Lu Qinghe hugged him tightly behind him, and Lu Qinghe was asking him for help. Lu Qinghe himself believed that Shen Changyan was more able to decide whether he would stay or not than Lin Juan.

"Shen Changyan, I'm really fine, just let me go with you."

Lu Qinghe is used to playing tricks and has a thick skin. No matter whether Shen Changyan ignores him, he always wants to make a fuss in front of others.

Today was the same as in the past, and there was no hope at all, even if Shen Changyan pulled his hand away without saying a word of nonsense, Lu Qinghe would not feel it was strange.

But it happened that that person took his words.

"He's coming with me."

After a word fell, Shen Changyan looked at Lin Juan and said.

"I will send him back to the hospital after work today, so you don't need to worry about it. I will contact the doctor for the examination. You worked hard yesterday to take care of him."

It so happened that Zhang An passed by the office hall on a bicycle at this time, and Shen Changyan called him again.

"Come here Zhang An, I'll take Lu Qinghe to the scene of the crime, and you will send Teacher Lin Juan back to the hotel to check in."

Zhang An stopped abruptly, "What?"

-

Long Street No. [-] Hutong, before the car entered the alley, Lu Qinghe could already smell a stench similar to "dead rats".

He used one hand to untie the seat belt fastened on his body, and the other hand wavered and raised it in front of his nose and mouth to block it.

"I'll go, what does it smell like?"

"When you came here yesterday to paint criminal portraits, didn't you notice the peculiar smell at the entrance of the alley here?"

Shen Changyan asked him casually.

Because of the awkwardness yesterday, the two sides took separate actions.

Shen Changyan mainly started his investigation from the entrance of Hutong No. [-], while Lu Qinghe and Lin Juan were in charge of Hutong No. [-].

It stands to reason that Lu Qinghe should have noticed the smell in the No. [-] alley when he passed by yesterday, especially for a nosy like him, it is impossible for him to remain indifferent to such an obvious smell of rotting corpses.

When Shen Changyan thought of this, he glanced at Lu Qinghe with some doubts.

With just this one glance, the guy who looked at him felt guilty and his hairs stood on end.

Lu Qinghe was fidgeting, he said bluntly, "I, I was only focused on drawing portraits yesterday, and I didn't pay much attention to other things."

Shen Changyan retorted, "Nonsense, I think you are busy scolding me, so find a place to rest before you finish walking all the way."

"Hey, what you said is wrong. I obviously went from the beginning to the end of No. [-] alley before turning back to rest."

"I knew it."

"You know what you know. Didn't you get mad at me yesterday? If you hadn't made trouble yesterday, we would have found out about it yesterday. Maybe I wouldn't have suffered this beating in vain. "

Lu Qinghe raised his plastered hand, his face full of resentment.

Shen Changyan said, "Your beating is not for nothing."

"That's true, I saved a life anyway." Speaking of this, Lu Qinghe became proud again, "Otherwise the criminal investigation team would have reported two murders in a row today."

The rotten sour smell hovered over the entire long alley. Since the murder scene had aroused criticism from many people before it was discovered, crowds were densely surrounded outside the cordon set up under the apartment building.

A person in uniform ran out from the stairs in a hurry, knelt on the ground next to the trash can with his legs, and began to vomit overwhelmingly.

Lu Qinghe covered his mouth and nose with his plaster hands, and he squeezed in with Shen Changyan tightly against Shen Changyan.

Those with sharp eyes saw this and shouted.

"Give way, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, don't block the way for our investigation colleagues to go in."

After shouting these words, the crowd relaxed a bit, but Lu Qinghe still struggled to walk inside.

"This fucking stinks so much that there are so many people crowding to see it."

Should I say it or not, this smell is really smoky, people want to vomit, and the neighbors upstairs and downstairs can hold it back for so many days before calling the police.

If it were Lu Qinghe who encountered this incident, he would probably have noticed something was wrong on the first day, and he would have to knock on all the doors upstairs and downstairs, and he would have to catch this "dead rat" for someone else.

"Team Shen, forensic doctor He arrived at the scene 5 minutes ago, and he is currently doing the first round of autopsy upstairs. Because the scene is messy and there are many bloodstains, we preliminarily concluded that this is the scene of the first crime. I can try my best to ensure the whole picture of the incident, and I would like to ask everyone who goes up to wear gloves and foot gloves, so as not to cause damage to the scene and evidence."

Shen Changyan nodded and took the gloves and foot gloves from the other party.

Before Lu Qinghe responded, this guy knelt down on one knee and stood in front of him.

"..."

This means that there are many people behind, otherwise Lu Qinghe felt that he could jump eight meters away in one fell swoop.

"What are you doing?" He was terrified.

Shen Changyan raised his head slightly, his eyes protruding from his hair were full of inexplicability, at this moment he touched his feet with his hand, and said impatiently.

"Raise your feet."

Lu Qinghe's heart suddenly thumped twice, realizing that something was wrong with him, he hesitated, "I can wear it myself."

Shen Changyan said, "How do you wear it with one hand? Lift your foot."

Lu Qinghe was awkward, but Shen Changyan still put on two shoe covers and a glove on himself.

But when he stood here and looked around, Lu Qinghe seemed to find something wrong again.

"Hey, Shen Changyan, have we been up to this building before?"

Shen Changyan didn't even raise his head, but at this moment, he buried his head in putting on his shoe covers.

"This Changjie Hutong No. [-], which one have you never been to?"

"I didn't mean that, but this alley is very familiar. Look at this building, look at the balcony that lacks a pot of flowers. It's the old man's house that we chased before to stop him from throwing objects in the sky."

Hearing this, the hands that were busy putting on the shoe covers suddenly stopped.

Shen Changyan looked up, and he stood up.
