Criminal evidence

Chapter 35 [The Vanishing Cardamom 35]

The case review meeting at [-]:[-] p.m. started on time.

While looking at the watch on his wrist, Shen Changyan led Lu Qinghe upstairs. He almost entered the office by pinch.

The content of the meeting focused on the murder of the three-year-old girl Mu Duo, the disappearance of the suspect Zhu Long and his family during the investigation, and the begging of the disabled baby girl near the vegetable market. Address outside of the trail.

After the rest of the fragmentary information is collected and analyzed, a complete chain of evidence can be pieced together one after another.

He Yueyun's call came 10 minutes after the meeting officially started.

There was a sudden heavy rain in the provincial capital. People who had stayed here to wait for the test results and learn some new knowledge of forensic identification with experts by the way, were temporarily notified that the test data reported by the prefecture-city public security bureau had been released. Got the result.

I was so pleasantly surprised that I wanted to quickly share this joy with the other party, so I found a public phone booth and dialed the number before I got back on the bus the next day.

He Yueyun first called Shen Changyan's pager, but there was no response, and then she called the landline in the other's office.

Although it was already off-duty time, my intuition told me that Shen Changyan must still be at the city bureau, so even though I had confirmed it countless times, He Yueyun was still worried the moment the other party answered the phone.

"Hello?" Shen Changyan's deep and hoarse voice was somewhat quiet again.

He Yueyun's fingers holding the receiver unconsciously tightened a little, and she called softly, "Hello, Shen Changyan."

"it's me."

The rain outside the phone booth became heavier, and the raindrops fell into the puddles, causing ripples.

"Ah, it's like this. The provincial department has already handed over the test results to me." The thin sheet of paper was packed in a parchment bag in his hand, and He Yueyun touched the "file" printed in red with his hand. "Bag", she said, "I wanted to come back earlier, but it rained heavily today, I didn't have an umbrella, and I couldn't change to another bus, so I had to call back and explain the result to you first."

"Hmm." Shen Changyan asked, "What was the result?"

The handset of the phone was pressed on the table, and he pressed the hands-free button. The signal on the other side was not very good, but the sound of the heavy rain was more clearly audible than the sound.

After He Yueyun told Shen Changyan that it was raining in the provincial capital and that he didn't bring an umbrella, the other party was still able to automatically block the important information that he wanted to be conveyed, and then only obtained the part of the content he needed to know.

It would be a lie to say that she is not disappointed, after all, she made this call on purpose, but He Yueyun also understands in her heart that all work matters must be urgent first, so now, after hearing what Shen Changyan said, she had no choice but to answer.

"According to the test results, the DNA data of the second victim at Hutongkou is consistent with the DNA sequence left in the body of the first victim."

Shen Changyan was silent for two seconds, and he condensed his words, "It means the same person, right?"

"Correct."

"I understand." After Shen Changyan finished speaking, he added casually, "It's hard work for you to make this trip."

He Yueyun pursed her lips, but she didn't answer.

It stands to reason that in this case, the other party was in the process of ending the conversation, but he was still reluctant to put down the conversation while holding the handset.

Shen Changyan was busy writing something with a pen, and noticed that there was no movement on the other end of the phone for a long time, so he paused his finger with the pen, and turned his head to ask.

"Any thing else?"

"Ah!" He Yueyun was distracted when someone called out and quickly responded, "No, it's fine."

"Hang up the phone if you're okay."

He reminded, but he didn't take the initiative to press the button to end the call.

He Yueyun let out a long breath, and she pressed the receiver of the phone to her chest. There was a breath of stale air in this place, which was uncomfortable, but she couldn't vomit it out.

After hesitating for a long time, he quickly said "goodbye" to the human being, and then hurriedly pressed the phone receiver back onto the phone.

He knew that he shouldn't look forward to it, but what he couldn't hide was the sense of loss crazily welling up in his brows and eyes.

The raindrops drifting in from outside the phone booth wet some of her clothes, and the plastic white sandals hesitated for two seconds in the puddles on the steps. After all, she gritted her teeth and stepped out.

In the misty rain, there was a thin figure fleeing in a hurry.

Almost at the same time, there was a "beep" disconnection sound from the criminal investigation team. Shen Changyan didn't look sideways. He directly raised his hand and threw the receiver back on the phone, ending the noisy period concisely.

"Everyone heard what was said just now."

After quickly writing down the contents of the notebook in two strokes, Shen Changyan got up and pulled the small blackboard behind him.

"According to the test results provided by the forensic room, we can now directly connect the two victims of the first girl murder case and the second burglary murder case with arrows."

Ma Yue raised his hand and replied, "Captain Shen, when Lao Lu took out the skirt from the second victim's house, we have already followed your instructions to investigate the connection between the two victims."

Shen Changyan nodded, and he drew two circles representing different victims on the small blackboard, "What's the result?"

"During the investigation, there was no connection between the two victims, but according to your request from Team Shen, we found many suspicious points when investigating the second victim."

"tell me the story."

Ma Yue squeezed out from the crowd, and when Shen Changyan made room for someone and sat back in his rattan chair, he still did not forget to reach out and take the documents handed over by the other party.

The small blackboard changed owners, and the chalk was also taken into Ma Yue's hands.

"According to the investigation, the name of the second victim who died of violence was Chen Aiguo. He was 57 years old and lived alone. Ten years ago, his granddaughter and daughter-in-law disappeared for no reason, and his son was in an accident within one month after the incident. died."

"What's the accident?"

"Drunk and got into an argument with my father and then went out and got into a car accident."

"A dispute happened? What kind of dispute happened? And was there any relevant investigation at the time of the accident?"

"Because it happened ten years ago, and both parties have passed away, no one knows the specific reason for the dispute, but according to the confession records of the previous investigation, nearby neighbors heard violent quarrels coming from the house , As for the car accident, the traffic police team handles it as an accident, and the investigation data on this part is very limited, and we don't have much effective information so far."

Shen Changyan grasped the key point and asked, "Is there no valid information at all? Or has it not been investigated yet?"

Ma Yue hesitated for half a second. He didn't dare to lie, so he could only lower his head and answer in a low voice, "I haven't investigated it yet."

"I'll give you another day." Shen Changyan dealt with the problem decisively, then slightly bent his knuckles and knocked on the investigation report in front of him, saying, "Since the cause of death of the deceased's son is temporarily in doubt, your report Why is there no mention of this part of the relevant information?"

"That's because." Ma Yue knew that Shen Changyan had misunderstood him, so he quickly explained, "I was afraid that you might not understand the dog crawling words I wrote down in a hurry to investigate and collect information. Today is another temporary meeting to sort out the case. So I haven’t had time to organize and summarize the content into folders.”

"Temporary meeting?" Shen Changyan raised his voice at the end of his speech, "It should be almost an hour and a half since I notified the meeting."

One and a half hours should be more than enough to organize the report materials.

But Ma Yue has too much basic data in his hands recently, a lot of messy manuscripts comparable to Morse code, except for himself, the rest of the people can't understand, sometimes even scribbled too much, a paragraph If you have to watch it for 20 minutes, you will be able to crack it.

Shen Changyan has always been very serious about his work. In the face of his doubts, sometimes too many explanations may turn into groundless sophistry in the eyes of the other party for not completing the work on time.

In terms of eloquence and logical dialectics, it is difficult for the entire Wancheng Bureau to find an opponent for Shen Changyan, so generally in this case, the correct answer is a direct acknowledgment plus an apology to ensure that the work is completed immediately after the meeting ends.

Ma Yue was about to bow his head to admit his mistake, but suddenly there was a sound of iron cup and water glass falling to the ground in the crowd.

"@#¥哐哐哐%&?)!"

Hot water spilled all over the floor, and the water cup rolled out with noise all the way.

The screeching sound of the water glass falling on the ground attracted the attention of almost everyone in the office, including Shen Changyan who was asking why the task was not completed in time.

He raised his head and looked forward.

The person who drank the water was Lu Qinghe, and the person who bumped his arm was Zhang An.

His right hand was still hurting and it was hot water, so the water splashed from the bumps landed on the back of his hand. Lu Qinghe couldn't hold the cup firmly and fell out of his hand. land.

He even kept his mouth ready to open for a drink while being showered with astonishing attention.

"..."

This weird silence lasted about 10 seconds.

Lu Qinghe's mind was blank, and he waited until he reacted before thinking about whether he should say something to relieve the embarrassment now, when he suddenly heard Shen Changyan habitually tapping his finger on the table.

The man withdrew his gaze, pretended nothing happened, lowered his head and continued to browse through the folder in his hand, and didn't ask Ma Yue about his mistakes at work, and just said something casually at this time.

"continue."

In just two words, everything that happened just now ended.

-

"Chen Aiguo's son is called Chen Jianjun. He had just turned 30 when the incident happened. He used to be a printing worker in a printing factory, but he quit his job after his wife and daughter disappeared. Made a record of the disappearance of his wife and daughter."

Shen Changyan asked, "How old was his daughter when she disappeared?"

"The child is ten years old." Ma Yue said, "The child's mother is 29 years old."

"The report you compiled recorded the disappearance case ten years ago, and the investigation records of the local police station wrote the words "disappeared and trafficked"? "

"Because it was a case ten years ago, the police station did not find any detailed investigation records. It took three days from the filing of the case to the recording of the last statement. There is almost no substantial evidence or clues for reference. "

Ma Yue stood upright in front of Shen Changyan's desk, he said.

"And when we went to investigate the materials, we also deliberately found an old police officer who participated in the investigation of this case. The other party told us that the child disappeared in his own home because the parents were factory workers and worked very hard every day. I'm busy so I don't come home until evening."

"When the girl disappeared, where was their old man?" Shen Changyan asked, "What does this Chen Aiguo do?"

"Speaking of Chen Aiguo, there are quite a lot of doubts about him."

"There are many suspicious things about him, and you haven't written a single word in this report?" Shen Changyan flipped through the folder from beginning to end, and finally threw the things back into Ma Yue's hands impatiently. He said, " Take it back and rewrite it."

Ma Yue reached out to catch the report that flew over from Shen Changyan's hand. He stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to answer back, but he said something.

"Team Shen, Lao Lu and I did this part of the confession and sorting out the clues together. It was agreed at that time that I would do the first half and he would do the second half. I was sorting out the information about the disappearance of the wife and daughter. The relevant information of the old man is collected by him."

The muzzle of the gun was suddenly shifted, Lu Qinghe was stunned for two seconds, and then said awkwardly, "Huh?"

Shen Changyan looked up, "Lu Qinghe, where's your report?"

It is true that there is such a thing, but organizing materials and handwriting reports have always been the things that Lu Qinghe hates the most.

Due to Shen Changyan's high requirements for the accuracy of the information, fluent writing, and precise diction, it was even more uncomfortable for everyone in the criminal investigation team to make a report than to be sentenced.

The other party requested that time should be used as the benchmark, and then sorted out based on various evidence and clues, and then summarized and summarized the gist of the whole case. Because of the dissatisfaction, it was sent back to be rewritten, so now everyone is unwilling to take on this troublesome job.

Usually, for the sake of fairness and justice, when encountering this kind of thing, everyone usually takes turns to do this job, or divides the task so that you can write a part and I will write another part.

The ball suddenly kicked on Lu Qinghe's body, and together with Shen Changyan's gaze, Lu Qinghe's heart almost jumped out of his throat.

"Lu Qinghe, where's your report?"

"My report."

Although the information and data are all in my hands, but the words that I haven't had time to sort out are stuck in my throat and I can't say them anyway.

If it is said that when Ma Yue gets anxious, his handwriting looks like a dog crawling, then Lu Qinghe's handwriting is no different from chicken feet.

If you calm down and make a record quietly, you may still be able to read what you write, but when you get anxious, you only focus on the moment when you complete the task, let alone Shen Changyan, those few pages of "chicken feet" are not even Lu Qinghe himself. Must be able to understand.

Fortunately, he has a good memory, and he has the ability to remember almost everything he has heard.

Shen Changyan knew what had happened almost by glancing at Lu Qinghe's embarrassed expression, but he didn't make too much embarrassment and just said something briefly.

"Lu Qinghe left a report, and the others disbanded on the spot."

The author says:

Ma Yue did not do a good job.

Shen Changyan: Give me a reasonable explanation for not completing the task.

Lu Qinghe didn't do a good job.

Shen Changyan (pretend nothing happened): Alright, next question.
