Criminal evidence

Shen Changyan suddenly didn't stay with everyone, and even handled the case alone. He was away from the office for a long time, and he didn't know what he was busy with in private.

Lu Qinghe thought a little affectionately that he might be hiding from him, after all, the two had just broken up.

During lunch, everyone was discussing the fact that Team Shen was suddenly single. There were all kinds of speculations, rumors, and discussions at the dinner table.

Lu Qinghe didn't know how to eat, but he didn't participate in it either. He didn't know what to say, but his heart was stuffy and uncomfortable.

The weather was still hot in the afternoon, so Ma Yue went downstairs to answer the phone, and when he came back, he yelled at Lu Qinghe.

"Lao Lu, we have to go to Suian County. I heard that the victim's wife came home with two children."

Lu Qinghe was unresponsive, he raised his eyelids slowly, and asked a little out of state the whole time, "Do you want us to do this?"

"What are you thinking about?" Ma Yue collected the materials, stepped forward and dragged the person downstairs, "You just got the commendation certificate for outstanding police officers from Captain Shen two hours ago, so you want to be lazy so soon?"

"No."

"What are you guys doing, Captain Shen is weird, and you are also weird, if you weren't with me last night, I would have to fucking wonder if you two have something."

Lu Qinghe was taken aback, he hurriedly scolded, "What are you talking about?"

"Hey, I'm just kidding." Ma Yue tried his best to soothe the weird atmosphere, and just as the two of them walked to the reception room on the first floor, he let go of Lu Qinghe, buried his head in the glass window and shouted loudly With a voice, "Uncle Huang, the criminal investigation team borrowed a car."

"No." The old man's angry and resentful roar came from the inside.

"Hey, old man, we're on official business."

"Performing shitty official duties, you bastards of the criminal investigation team, look for yourself, every time you borrow a car to go out, my old man will lose half his life when you come back."

"Where is it so exaggerated?"

"It's not that exaggerated. I got the blood, mud, and mess on the car. Last time in the case of dismembering the corpse, you guys brought the corpse back and didn't pick it up. When I opened the trunk, Almost got a heart attack from that broken arm."

"Hey, haven't we explained this matter before? The storage and testing of the body parts is the business of the forensic office. We helped to transport them back. If they don't come to pick them up by themselves, how can you return them? Blame it on us."

"I don't blame you and whoever you blame, a bunch of little brats, get out of here quickly."

"Hey."

Ma Yue knew that the old man was screwed, and they really drove the car out of the mud ditch this morning. At this moment, the old man probably washed the car and got angry. It doesn't make sense.

So he let go of his palm holding the window sill, and Ma Yue pretended to be helpless and sighed, "Forget it, then I was also arranged by the leader, and it is not appropriate to make trouble with you because of this matter, then Since I can't borrow this car from the Bureau, I can only report the truth to my superiors, this car, please let Team Shen come and borrow it."

"..." There was silence in the room for at least ten seconds.

After Ma Yue looked around, he made a gesture to leave again, "Let's go, Lao Lu, let's go back to the office and lie down."

If you have to wait for Shen Changyan to borrow a car, you won't be so patient in talking and negotiating with others.

For him, all urgent matters have to be compromised for the execution of official duties. He can do it by kicking open the door of the reception room and taking the key to leave. It should be easy to borrow a car if he chatted with Shen Changyan Fortunately, the reason is to make yourself feel uncomfortable.

One of the most typical examples was about a year and a half ago, when Shen Changyan had just joined the bureau not long ago, and hadn't gotten close to most of the people, and the big guys didn't know what kind of temper this living ancestor had.

One night when the criminal investigation team received the police and needed to use the police car immediately, it turned out that there was no car key in the duty room. They went to the reception room to look for it, and only after calling did they find out that the car key had been locked in a drawer by the gatekeeper.

After Shen Changyan listened, he naturally asked the management staff to come to the police station to cooperate with the criminal investigation team in using the car.

The person who answered the call that day happened to be Uncle Huang today. He didn't have any bad intentions at first. The call came at about four o'clock in the morning that night, and it was cold in winter. The old man didn't resist when he was old. Made, just mumbled subconsciously, it's off-duty time.

Shen Changyan didn't say much after listening. After silently hanging up the phone, he entered the door and kicked open the cabinet, took the key and left directly.

If the uncle's behavior only went so far, it would not have the effect of deterring people. The main reason is that the ancestor didn't say a word at the moment, and later sued the board of directors.

The reason is simple. The person in charge of the car keys in the duty room is not there. There are three options. First, hand over a key to the criminal investigation team for safekeeping so that it can be used at any time. Second, the criminal investigation team will maintain the same commute frequency with the people in the duty room. , anyway, staggering the other party’s working hours, I can’t borrow a car here, and I can’t guarantee the timely rate of police dispatch, so working overtime is a waste of effort. Third, let the duty room arrange rotations, and you must find someone when you need a car at night .

Shen Changyan's move was well-founded and vicious.

After Board Director received his report, he decided on the third plan almost without hesitation. From then on, the hell mode of the logistics department started, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, as long as he Shen Changyan wanted to borrow the car key, then There is no time when you can't borrow.

The old men sometimes have a bit of a temper, mainly because the gangsters upstairs are too good at making things.

They don't know how to take care of it. They hit it every three days and turn off the engine every two days. The car sent back from this end has not been cleaned, and the car sent back from the other end can be sent to the scrap factory.

I was still apprehensive, especially when I heard Shen Changyan's name now.

The ancestor knew that he was losing his temper and deliberately made things difficult for him by not lending him a car. After a while, he didn't know what trouble he was looking for.

So Ma Yueren didn't even turn his back on his back, and listened to the angry shouts of the people in the room.

"Get out of here."

This voice almost pierced his eardrums, and just as Ma Yue turned his head, a key hit him in the face so mercilessly.

"This old man, menopause has arrived."

Ma Yue muttered a word, and without delay, he took Lu Qinghe and got into the car together.

"I drank too much yesterday, and my head still hurts now. It stands to reason that you should be driving the car today, but I see that you are not in a good mood, so I will do it."

Ma Yue said this with a bit of helplessness, Lu Qinghe didn't argue with him, he knew in his heart that he was not in a good state, but don't just drive the car for a while and get distracted, that would be a big trouble.

It still took some time to drive all the way from the Municipal Bureau to Suian County, the two of them didn't say anything along the way, occasionally discussing a few words about the case, most of the time Ma Yue was yawning, while Lu Qinghe was staring out the window in a daze.

This was the first time that Shen Changyan had deliberately separated the two of them in the process of arranging the handling of the case, and Lu Qinghe was somewhat unaccustomed to it.

"The victim's name is Zhang Jiang. He is 33 years old. His wife is 30 years old. They have two daughters. The eldest daughter is 7 years old and the youngest daughter is 5 years old. The whole family is farming in their hometown. According to the feedback from the villagers, the couple On weekdays, the relationship is very good, and on the day of the incident, his wife had brought the child back to her mother's house one day earlier, and there are witnesses, so the wife's suspicion can be ruled out for the time being."

After arriving at the visiting place near the crime scene, Ma Yue and Lu Qinghe did not immediately go forward to question the relevant villagers.

Holding paper and pens, they lay down on the hood of the car under the sun and reviewed the facts of the case so far. Then they walked back to the village.

"But one thing is very strange." Lu Qinghe said with the documents, "The victim was naked when he died, and except for the knife in the heart, all other wounds were also attacked from the front."

Ma Yue didn't care too much and answered, "Don't think it's so complicated, maybe it's just an ordinary burglary and murder."

"Break-in and murder?" Lu Qinghe was puzzled, "Break-in and murder, how can you stab so many knives? By the way, have you seen the scene of the crime?"

"What am I looking at, brother, you are sleepy. I came together this morning to help investigate the case of Wu Chengzhou and Liu Wenshu. Today is the first time I have come here."

"Oh." Lu Qinghe realized later, "Why is Liu Wenshu and the others still investigating that case?"

"I don't know. Team Shen didn't stop it. Besides, this case is really involved. If the case is closed hastily, we can't be sure how it will be judged by the court. Having more evidence will also have a good impact on the judgment, and the abduction and trafficking The nature of the matter of women and children is bad, not to mention that several lives were interspersed in the middle, it is right for Team Shen to be serious."

"Ah."

"By the way, speaking of Captain Shen, I remember he said when he called me over at noon, he said he had seen the crime scene in the morning, and the content was written in these materials, you can look through it to see if you can find it. "

Lu Qinghe was very familiar with Shen Changyan's handwriting. He rummaged through the folder in his hand, and he could quickly find the page recorded by Shen Changyan almost without confirming the contents of the paper.

"He went to the scene of the crime at 10:57 in the morning. The murder site was in the bedroom of the deceased. During the period, the doors and windows were intact, there was no sign of forced entry, and a lot of blood was on the bed. Other than that, other places were basically kept intact. The room is very clean, and there is no sign of rummaging in the room after a cursory inspection, so it should be possible to rule out burglary and murder. In addition, if it was a burglary murder, the murderer would not have the extra action of throwing the body. He should have taken the property and left directly. Even if you want to die, you won't frantically make up so many hits on the dead as if you were venting your anger."

"Let me take a look." Ma Yue reached out to take the information in Lu Qinghe's hand, and he sighed, "I'll go, Team Shen wrote it in such detail."

Lu Qinghe knew that Shen Changyan wrote in such detail because he was afraid that they would call and ask something halfway, and that person was the most troublesome.

"So based on these conclusions, it can be concluded that first, an acquaintance commits the crime, second, that the two parties have enmity, and third, that the two parties have a close relationship."

"Does this man have other friends in the village?"

"I don't know, go ahead and ask."

Shen Changyan's paper full of case records was carefully folded by Lu Qinghe and put into the file bag.

This trip was mainly to meet the family members of the victim. Lu Qinghe still made some psychological preparations. They entered the village and first visited the village party secretary, who then took them to the victim's house.

Because such a major event as a murder happened in a small place, there were discussions everywhere in the village.

The village party secretary was still explaining to them, "Our small place has always been peaceful, and our neighbors get along very well. Zhang Jiang and his wife are not bad people. It should be impossible to have such a big enmity with anyone in the village. Let alone the neighbors. It is impossible that there is no friction at all, but if I really want to rush to someone's house in the middle of the night and use a knife, I really can't think of anyone who can do this."

Lu Qinghe asked, "The victim is in the village, people with particularly good relationships and people with particularly bad relationships, please tell us about them."

"Well, I really don't know about this, but it seems that a few days ago, because of farming, he had a conflict with Lao Wang from the next village, but after the incident, Murakami mediated and the matter was over, and the two parties had a drink. Even the wine says that it doesn’t matter anymore, so I don’t think it’s worth it just because of this.”

"He and his wife never had any conflicts?"

"It's not uncommon for a young couple to live without conflicts. It's just a small fight. It's really a big one, irreconcilable, and it's never happened in the village."

"How old is the old Wang who had a dispute with the victim?"

"They're not very old, so they're probably about the same."

"Could you please arrange for us to meet him?"

The village party secretary looked at him with some embarrassment, and said, "Comrade policeman, do you really doubt that old man?"

"It's not a suspicion. It's a routine questioning. You don't have to worry too much. If the other party feels burdened by the conversation, then you can help him with a few words. This is a regulation in the bureau, and it doesn't mean to target anyone."

"Hey, okay, okay, I'll take care of this for you in a while, come here, come here, and I'll be at Zhangjiang's house soon."

Before the person took two steps forward, he was the first to hear a faint piercing cry.

Ma Yue and Lu Qinghe looked at each other, and each of them let out a long sigh in their hearts.

One of the most difficult things to face after a criminal case arises is the need to obtain some favorable clues that can advance the case from the distraught and emotional family members of the victim.

Lu Qinghe used to be quite patient, whether it was to appease or comfort, he was willing to let him chat with someone for eight hours and then pry out a piece of useful information from the other party's mouth.

But now, his own mind is in a mess, even if he doesn't do anything, his head is as heavy and stuffy as if it was wrapped in a ball of paste, and he can't cheer up anything.

Hearing other people's pain and despair at such a time, his immediate reaction was that he started to have a headache.

He couldn't even say a word of persuasion, just took a pen and paper, and sat there blankly.

"How do I live, how do you say I live, my two children are still so young, how could our head of the family be murdered like this?"

"There's so much blood in that room, what a crime, how will I live in the future."

The ear-piercing screams of the woman kept irritating Lu Qinghe's eardrums. He couldn't empathize with her, but it was rare to feel pain together with her.

His brows were twisted into a hill, his fingers were hidden under his body and he clenched tightly.

"Damn it, what are you doing, I stayed here all afternoon and didn't ask any farts."

On the return trip, Ma Yue was still driving the car. They walked half of the village and asked many people for questioning, but they didn't get any useful information.

Apart from asking who the murderer was, the villagers vigorously defended the deceased as a human being, expressing that it was impossible to avenge, it was impossible to avenge, and no one had the motivation to kill him.

No matter how hard Lu Qinghe and Ma Yue tried, all the information they got was irrelevant.

Ma Yue got anxious several times on the way, and was blamed by the crowd for his bad attitude, and Lu Qinghe was absent-minded, so he had to smooth things over in the middle.

It was completely dark at this moment, Ma Yue cursed and led Lu Qinghe back.

"I'm really going to be annoyed to death. Do you want Team Shen to know that we came here again for nothing, so you can't turn around and scold us to death?"

Lu Qinghe looked out of the window sullenly, "He doesn't have time to scold you these days, please put me down at the second intersection ahead."

"Let go of you? Why? Do you want to buy cigarettes?"

"I haven't smoked for a long time." Lu Qinghe said, and really took off the safety belt on his body. "My house is in the town in front of me. I just passed by tonight. I'll go back and see my mother."

Ma Yue was stunned for a while, "I almost forgot, you are a native of Wancheng, hey, no, then why don't you take me to have a meal with you when you go home?"

"Next time, I'm passing by today too. I didn't tell you in advance. I don't even know if I have anything to eat."

"Okay, I'll take you home first," Ma Yue smiled, "Then why are you coming back tomorrow morning?"

"At 6 o'clock in the morning, there was a bus going into the city from the town, and I came back in half an hour by car."

"Okay, I also said to find an excuse to get the car out to pick you up again."

"No, I can come back by myself."

"Old Lu."

"Ah."

"Well, I don't know what happened to you, and I don't know what it is, but I can feel that you are in a bad mood. As for you don't want to tell others, I don't have to ask What happened to you, but I have something to tell you."

Lu Qinghe paused his fingers holding the car door, and he turned around.

"That is, no matter what happens to make you sad, you have to believe that difficulties will pass one day, and you must be strong."

Lu Qinghe was stunned for a while, then laughed again, "I see, thank you."

"Don't be late for work tomorrow."

"understood."

Lu Qinghe walked out of the car door, and when he heard Ma Yue's shout, he turned his back and waved to him.

The town has changed a lot in the past few years. The country has been developing and building. Many dirt roads have been refurbished into cement roads, and many low buildings and tile-roofed houses have been rebuilt into small two-story buildings. .

The time for Lu Qinghe to go home was not coincidental, it was past 20 o'clock at night, and there were almost no people in the market, but it was rare for him to walk through this section of the road quietly.

When Shen Changyan was still here, there was a big black dog in the small restaurant in the town, but the dog died two years ago, and there was this piled up garbage incineration place. When Shen Changyan was here, it was still here. A stinky ditch.

Shen Changyan used to pass this small stone bridge every time he went home. Shen Changyan used to buy steamed buns and soy milk at this breakfast shop. Shen Changyan fell off this stone slab before. Shen Changyan used to...

Lu Qinghe walked to the small courtyard of the Shen family.

Since they moved away with their family ten years ago, no one will come here all year round, warm in winter and cool in summer.

But today the courtyard door is half-closed, and the windows in the room are also faintly lighted. Lu Qinghe was stunned for a while. Logically speaking, it is impossible for a thief to come. Although the Shen family was not considered poor in the town back then, it was not related to wealth. too big a relationship.

After going to the capital, Lu Qinghe was not very clear about the family conditions, but no matter what, there was a sudden change in the old house that had been unoccupied for more than ten years, and as a neighbor, he had a legitimate reason to go to check.

Lu Qinghe stretched out his hand and pushed the somewhat old iron door.

Just after there was a sharp and jerky sound at the opening and closing, the door of the main house was suddenly pushed open, and someone came out of the house, holding a thick stack of paper bags in his hand.

Lu Qinghe froze in place.

Shen Changyan raised his head, saw him, and unconsciously frowned slightly, "Lu Qinghe?"
