Criminal evidence

In the living room on the third floor, the man with the paper cup in his hand kept repeating to Shen Changyan.

"She usually does the same. She often doesn't go home, but it's the first time she can't be contacted for seven days in a row."

"Don't go home often?" Lu Qinghe took a pen to record. Although he was just listening in, he still questioned, "You are a husband and wife, and your wife doesn't come home often. Didn't you ask why?"

"I..." the man hesitated, "I did ask, but she has a bad temper and always gets angry with me. In the past two years, the relationship between us has become worse and worse. To be honest, occasionally... I occasionally There will be thoughts of being too lazy to care about her."

"Even if you don't care about it, it's strange that your wife doesn't come home. Is she having an affair?"

The man fell silent suddenly.

Lu Qinghe asked, "Is this meaningful?"

"There should be." The man replied cowardly, "I guess, she should have another man, but I don't know who the other man is, and my wife hasn't explicitly admitted it. She just always scolds me for being incompetent." , not as good as others."

"Then you just let her scold you like this? Don't you resist? If you can end this relationship directly without feelings, why are you already like this, and you still have to use this method to forcefully maintain it?"

The paper cup was deformed by being pinched, the man's eyes were dodged, he looked up at the policeman in front of him several times, and then he put the cup on the table next to his hand.

"Comrade police, I..."

Shen Changyan found it strange that the other party hesitated to speak, so he said bluntly, "If you have something to say, just say it, and don't delay the time for the police to handle the case."

"Comrade police, although it would be strange to say this, I have a hunch that my wife has been killed."

Shen Changyan, "..."

Almost at the same time, he and Lu Qinghe turned their heads and looked at each other.

Because the other party's words were so abrupt and so strange that at that moment, the possibility of murder in the man sitting in front of him directly reached [-]% in Shen Changyan's heart.

Lu Qinghe hurriedly asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Because she has behaved very abnormally these days." The man tried hard to recall, "Before she lost contact completely, we also had a big fight at home. She was very unstable in those few days, yelling, loving Throwing things and talking nonsense, she reassured me, she said she would set me free soon, if I guess, she must have provoked some rich and powerful person, my wife is optimistic and cheerful by nature, but She has a surprisingly stubborn temper, she will get what she wants by any means, she never cares about the feelings of the people around her, she is a selfish and bold woman."

The man said, "As a husband and wife, I am willing to tolerate and understand her willfulness, but as a lover, I think her character should be a headache."

Shen Changyan frowned and asked, "You mean, her disappearance is related to her extramarital affair?"

"I guess so."

"How much do you know about the person she is having an affair with?"

"I don't know, but the other party should be very rich. My wife's quality of life suddenly improved in the summer two years ago, and she has more funds for activities."

"What does your wife do?"

"She works as a cashier in a clothing foreign trade company."

"Are you all locals?"

"Well, we are all locals. The house at home is a wedding house bought by our parents. Both of us have stable jobs, so we don't have to live in poverty. But in the summer two years ago, she suddenly opened a A car is coming back."

Shen Changyan seemed to think of something, he hurriedly asked, "Gray?"

"Yes." The man replied affirmatively, "A family like ours usually lives in poverty, but it is still very difficult to spend money casually to buy a car or a house. At that time, she suddenly drove a car. When I came back, I naturally wanted to ask, but she told me that the company provided her with a car, but her job is a cashier, and the cashier usually needs a car for any job? Of course I didn’t believe it, so I went to I asked their company, and of course I got a negative answer, and it was at that time that the fact that she had an extramarital affair was basically confirmed in my heart."

The man spoke very sincerely, and there seemed to be no major problems with his demeanor and speed of speech, but Lu Qinghe still had many doubts.

"I don't understand. Since you all know that there is a third person in the marriage, why don't you choose to end it? Why are you still entangled?"

"I mentioned divorce, but she didn't agree."

"She doesn't agree, so you choose to tolerate it?"

"My wife is a paranoid and very emotional person. When I found out that she had an extramarital affair, I was also very painful. After careful consideration, I filed for divorce with her, but instead she was very angry and had a big fight with me. She just Said that she would leave, but not now, she said that I can also meet other women, she will not kidnap me with morality and ethics, she said that both of us are free individuals and should not be separated because of the existence of someone bound."

The man covered his face, and he said in pain, "As long as I dare to show any resistance to her thoughts, she will immediately yell, make a scene, cut her wrists with a knife, and jump off the building to commit suicide. I don't want to really hurt a person's life because of such a thing, so our matter has been delayed until now."

They chatted for two hours in the living room.

After sending her away, Lu Qinghe was still rambling about whether he should get a divorce or not.

Shen Changyan smiled, and asked him, "Everyone said they were going to commit suicide, but you also leave if they want to commit suicide?"

"Li, of course Li, she has been unfaithful to her marriage, why should I care about whether she will die or not, she will die if she wants to die, it's better to die far away, don't put me in front of me and block my eyes."

Shen Changyan smiled and shook his head, "One night husband and wife, one hundred days of grace and one day of grace, are you so cruel?"

"Yes, I'm just so cruel, so you'd better behave yourself in this life, don't..." Lu Qinghe raised his eyebrows, he didn't finish his sentence, but soon lost his temper, "But this is just In my personal opinion, besides, the man just now looked quite honest, not like a villain who murdered his wife and committed crimes."

"Don't jump to conclusions so early." Shen Changyan sighed, "But it's not too bad. This case should not be difficult to investigate. There are not many people who can afford a car in the past few years. I just didn't remember the car she drove that day. I only know that the details are grayed out, but it should not be difficult to find a supplier based on this.”

While talking, they happened to arrive at the criminal investigation office on the fifth floor.

Shen Changyan was full of momentum, and he started to call out with the information, "Qi Ming, Xiao Ke, we have verified that the missing person was driving a gray car when he left home. This car was bought two summers ago. Go and contact the car suppliers in the urban area to see if you can find out the buyer's personal information."

"Yes, Captain Shen."

"Lu Qinghe, let's go, let's go to the clothing foreign trade company where the client works."

-

Shen Changyan always drives the police car of the bureau when the police are officially dispatched.

When Lu Qinghe was sorting out the materials in the co-pilot, he suddenly said, "This feels so familiar."

"What do you feel?"

"The feeling of handling the case, the feeling of returning to Wancheng." Lu Qinghe tilted his head and smiled at Shen Changyan, and he said, "Do you think that the moment just now seemed to turn back time suddenly."

Shen Changyan smiled, and it must have been a long time before he suddenly said, "I will go back."

We will go back.

It took half an hour to arrive at the garment foreign trade company. The factory area and office building of the factory were separated.

Shen Changyan proficiently showed his credentials, registered information, contacted the person in charge of the staff, and finally entered the cashier's office 10 minutes later.

When the other girls in the office saw the police coming in, they all started whispering uncontrollably.

Lu Qinghe rummaged through the desk and drawers of the missing person as usual, "It's strange, why didn't she put any personal items in her personal area?"

When Shen Changyan heard the noise, he came over and asked, "What?"

Lu Qinghe pointed to the empty drawer and said, "Even if it's in the office of the factory, as long as there are people active, there will be more or less personal items."

Shen Changyan's eyes swept over the client's clean tabletop without even a little extra dust, and he frowned slightly.

"Has anyone moved this table?"

"Last week, a very tall man came and he took some things."

The speaker was a short-haired girl at the table opposite the missing woman.

When Shen Changyan heard the other party's response, he looked at him, "How much did he take?"

"I took quite a lot. I was already off work at that time. I was working overtime in the office because there was still an account that I hadn't settled. When he came, I was about to leave, and then I didn't care. I saw him put this on the table. , and a lot of things in the drawers have been taken away.”

"Didn't you ask him what he was doing with these things?"

"I didn't ask." The girl said nervously, "That man looks a bit fierce, so I didn't dare to talk to him."

"Don't you find it strange that a stranger suddenly came to the office to take something from a colleague? It should be normal to ask more questions, can you elaborate on the situation that day?"

"This……"

While the girl was hesitating, Lu Qinghe discovered something new.

He bumped Shen Changyan's body with his arm, and quickly pointed to the lock on the bottom drawer and said, "Shen Changyan, look, there are signs of destruction here."

Shen Changyan knelt down to confirm, and with just one glance, he could immediately determine that the buckle had indeed been artificially damaged.

So they immediately confirmed the exact date of the man's arrival with the staff in the office. Coincidentally, it happened to be 06:30 pm the next day after the husband of the missing woman reported the night of the woman's disappearance.

The bad feeling came even more violently at this moment.

"We didn't stop him because we met that man before. He often came to pick up Sister Liu from work outside the factory. He drove a black car. Sister Liu didn't come to the office on the day of the incident. We thought she was sick and asked for sick leave. When the man came in the afternoon, we also thought he was here to help Sister Liu get things, so we didn't pay attention."

"Come to pick her up from get off work often?" Shen Changyan captured a very important piece of information, "You have only met, but you don't know who this man is, has anyone asked?"

"Of course I will ask, but Sister Liu always jokes that it is her driver."

"Do you believe it?"

"Well, we don't know her family conditions, so we don't dare to speculate casually." The short-haired girl said, "But Sister Liu is very kind and generous. She often invites people from the office to dinner, and her husband treats her very well." Very good, gentle, and often give her pearl necklaces, gold rings and other gold and silver jewelry."

When talking about this, Lu Qinghe and Shen Changyan looked at each other in a tacit understanding.

When he came out of the garment factory, it was already 16 o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Changyan leaned outside the car door and smoked a cigarette, while Lu Qinghe sat in the co-pilot and carefully sorted out the transcript information he had made.

"Cars, necklaces, gold, these things must all be gifts from extramarital affairs."

After Shen Changyan got into the driver's seat after smoking, Lu Qinghe hurriedly said to him, "As for the driver they mentioned, I think there should be a 50.00% probability that they are the object of an extramarital affair."

Shen Changyan let out a breath, sat in the driver's seat and asked, "What about the remaining 50.00% probability?"

"The remaining 50.00% probability is that he is indeed a driver, but the driver of the extramarital affair."

After they returned the car at the city bureau, they ate a bowl of scallion noodles at a roadside stall.

Shen Changyan bought candied hawthorns for Lu Qinghe, and Lu Qinghe felt very ashamed. While scolding the other party not to do such childish things, he seriously ate the candied hawthorns one by one. .

Father Shen knew that Lu Qinghe had gone to work with Shen Changyan, so he was naturally angry. The night before yesterday, he had another conflict with Shen Changyan because of this matter. The father and son quarreled in the study until midnight.

And Lu Qinghe and Shen's mother were listening in the living room.

Shen's mother was naturally gentle, holding Lu Qinghe's arm the whole time to reassure him not to be afraid, and not allowing him to intervene in the conflict between Shen Changyan and Shen's father.

Lu Qinghe could feel that this aunt really regarded herself as the daughter-in-law of her family.

Lu Qinghe just came to Beijing, and he didn't bring much. Occasionally, he would make do with Shen Changyan's clothes for two days, but they still didn't fit.

So when Shen's mother saw it, she would pick some time to go out to buy clothes for Lu Qinghe, and if she had any delicious food, she would bring it upstairs for him as soon as possible, because Shen Changyan usually didn't speak at all at home, and also ignored people Therefore, now Lu Qinghe spends more time with his parents.

When it was time to water the flowers in the morning, he would deliberately get up early to have a few words with the aunt, or when there were guests at home playing mahjong, he would stand behind Shen's mother and help read the cards.

Shen Changyan would not stop Lu Qinghe's behavior of getting closer to his family, but that guy still went his own way, he would keep his eyes on his parents and pretend he didn't see them, and his attitude was extremely bad, which often made Lu Qinghe feel embarrassed.

After arriving home that night, Lu Qinghe just came out of the bathroom. He wiped his wet hair with a towel, but when he opened the door, he saw Shen Changyan sitting in front of the desk with a lamp on and seriously sorting out the case.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Lu Qinghe muttered.

They talked about this case all the way home, although judging from the current situation, the current victimization rate of missing women is very high.

But from the perspective of criminal investigation, if there is no body, it can only be reported as missing, and it cannot be investigated as a murder case.

"I sorted out some unclear points again." Shen Changyan said, "This case is actually not difficult to handle, but I always feel that there is something strange."

Lu Qinghe sat on the side of the bed and said, "Yes, I also find it strange, the main reason is that this woman has been swaying in front of our eyes a while ago, she seems to know us, Shen Changyan, did she have something to say to us at that time? .”

Lu Qinghe still had some regrets. If he had been more patient at that time, at least he had listened to what the woman wanted to say and do with them, and things might not have turned into what they are now.

And Shen Changyan remained silent, his brows were furrowed, and he was still holding a pen in his hand.

"Driver, the black car..."

There are also men who look a bit fierce.

Although the direction is very clear, Shen Changyan really doesn't want to think about it.

Lu Qinghe was stunned for a moment, and he quickly comprehended the information contained in these two keywords, so he quickly jumped up and interrupted, "Damn, Shen Changyan, don't think about it."

Shen Changyan said, "It's not that I was thinking about it. Since that woman is approaching us with a strong purpose, this shows that we have nothing to do with this matter."

"But that doesn't mean anything. Maybe it's just a simple conversation. Her husband has said that she is a bold woman. Don't suspect people who shouldn't be so easily."

"I'm not doubting him lightly." Shen Changyan shook his head palely, "It's not the first time he's done something like this."

"Shen Changyan, the case has not been finalized yet, and he was just reported missing. Although the possibility of being killed is indeed very high based on experience, we are professional criminal police. We must find the body, right? There is no body, no scene, and no evidence. Then everything is just suspicion, can we convict a person based on suspicion and speculation?" Lu Qinghe said, "I can't, right?"

Shen Changyan's expression was still ugly.

The seeds of doubt are like growing vines. Once they are sown, they will crazily protrude their tentacles from the sewage that suffocates them, and then tightly entangle people until they suffocate.

Lu Qinghe comforted Shen Changyan for a long time, although the last person didn't say anything more, but Lu Qinghe understood that Shen Changyan had been shaken.

It is even possible that he will search for some clues from his father and the tall driver tomorrow.

Lu Qinghe had an intuition that something very bad would happen. Even though he was comforting Shen Changyan a second ago, this was impossible, but the next second, as soon as the light at the bedside dimmed, his mood changed at the same time. got complicated.

He even began to doubt it.

And in the words Lu Qinghe used to comfort Shen Changyan, he mentioned a sentence "There is no body, all doubts are speculation."

At three o'clock in the morning that night, Shen Changyan was woken up by the sound of his aunt knocking on the door.

Lu Qinghe put on his pajamas and went to open the door.

The aunt said softly, "Master Xiao Lu, there is a phone call in the living room downstairs. It is from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, saying that they should notify our young master immediately after discovering a murder case."
