Tiger Police

Chapter 69 Surveillance Video
Judging from various traces at the scene, the deceased Zhang Hongxia should have lived alone.

It is very troublesome to cook and eat alone, and many young people living alone often choose to order takeaway.

No discarded objects such as lunch boxes were found in the room.

Hu Pingtao turned his gaze out of the window.

The street adjacent to the kitchen is not the main road.Because it is an old community, no one has built it all year round. The plants in the green belts on both sides of the road grow wildly, and the shrubs grow very tall, and some are even flush with the crowns of trees.

On the opposite side is the old building of the Coal Machinery Plant, with only three floors.Five years ago, it had been converted into a logistics warehouse, and there was only one entrance and exit on the east and north sides.

Zhang Yixuan happened to be taking pictures in the kitchen. He followed Hu Pingtao's line of sight to look out, walked closer, and whispered, "Did you find anything?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in this question.

Hu Pingtao glanced at Zhang Yixuan for his indifferent attitude before contacting him, and said lightly: "Not yet."

Zhang Yixuan nodded: "Surveillance is not the result of just looking at it with the eyes. Some people are lucky and can find clues by just looking a few times. But luck is not clear, and solving a case depends on real talents and learning. It’s all about technology.”

His words are very directional.

Hu Pingtao was silent for a moment, and asked seriously: "Have we met before?"

"No." Zhang Yixuan replied very positively.

He immediately said: "I was just assigned to the criminal police team. Many people, including Team Wang, praised you. I don't understand why."

This was sort of an explanation, and made Hu Pingtao understand the source of Zhang Yixuan's hostility towards him.

He laughed at himself: "I'm not as strong as you think, I'm just an ordinary person."

These words did not change Zhang Yixuan's opinion of Hu Pingtao: "I think so too. I have heard various stories about you, you are just lucky."

After speaking, he took a special look at the epaulet of a trainee police officer on Hu Pingtao's right shoulder, and turned to leave with the same indifferent expression on his face.

Hu Pingtao's train of thought was not disturbed by this, and he kept looking out the window at the drainage pipe that was tightly attached to the wall.

The exposed cast iron drainpipe is one of the characteristics of the old building.

This pipe is installed on the right side of the kitchen exterior wall and is painted light gray, the same color as the wall.

The outer side of the metal tube is darker in color.

At first, Hu Pingtao thought that he had been watching for too long and had a visual error.But when Wang Wenxuan left, he realized that he was right.

"Wind and sun" is a word linked to time.Generally speaking, the part of common objects exposed to sunlight is lighter in color, and the shaded part is darker.

The same goes for this cast iron drainpipe.Even if the surface is painted, the paint surface will peel off after a long time, and the color of the sunny part is slightly lighter than that of the shady part.

Holding the window sill with his right hand, Hu Pingtao leaned out, and touched the metal pipe wall with his left hand.

He found it easy to climb out of the ledge from this position.If it were a monkey, it would be possible to climb up from the first floor along the cast iron drainpipe.

The left hand that touched the metal pipe was stained with some dust.

Hu Pingtao twisted his fingers a few times, and found that there were some very small brittle particles, which turned into dust when rubbed with his fingers with a little force.

Close to his nostrils, he smelled a faint smoky smell.

While thinking, Wang Xiongjie walked into the kitchen quickly and ordered in a low voice: "The police station has contacted the family of the deceased. Liao Qiu asked me to go there now. I have already arranged things here. You follow Lao Zhang to investigate the scene. In the afternoon Back in the game, let's sort out all the clues and gather them for a meeting."

The old Zhang mentioned by Wang Xiongjie is named Zhang Guowei, and there is only one letter difference between Zhang Jianguo at the Eryuan Road Police Station.Although they are not brothers, they are both old policemen.The difference is that the former is a criminal police officer and the latter is a civilian police officer.

(Book friends will see the character "Zhang Guowei" appearing in a short while. Sprinkle flowers! Applause!)
Hu Pingtao nodded and agreed: "Okay! Brother Wang, you are busy with your work."

Wang Xiongjie was about to turn around and go out. After thinking for a while, he turned back, approached Hu Pingtao, and said earnestly: "Zhang Yixuan has just been assigned to our criminal police team. He is a talented student who graduated from the Police Academy. He is always arrogant. When you are proud. Xiaohu, I value you very much, but I will not be partial, after all, Xiao Zhang is also good. Our police force is a whole, we do not engage in individual heroism, and value collective honor. It is normal to have competition. But absolutely no retaliation."

He then emphasized his tone: "Do you understand what I mean?"

Hu Pingtao showed a very sunny smile on his face: "Understood!"

……

At [-]:[-] p.m., everyone completed the investigation of the crime scene, closed Room [-], and handed over the daily supervision and inspection to the property management. The whole team returned to Gudu Sub-bureau, had dinner in the cafeteria, and came to the small meeting room on the third floor .

The tables and chairs are arranged in an oval shape.Wang Xiongjie has never paid attention to his status and has no airs.He took out the cigarette from his pocket, and passed it around. When the cigarette case returned to his hand, he took out the lighter and lit the cigarette, took a puff, and cleared his thoughts in his mind under the stimulation of nicotine.

"At noon today, the Eryuan Road Police Station contacted the family of the deceased. Let me tell you about the basic situation of the deceased. Zhang Hongxia, female, 29 years old, works as a secretary in a private company. She is a regular employee with a monthly salary of [-] taels. She has been employed for almost seven years. , work ability and word-of-mouth in the unit are very good.”

"Zhang Hongxia is a native of the provincial capital. Her parents used to be employees of a state-owned photo studio. They retired in 5000 due to institutional reforms. The combined pension of the two of them is more than [-] yuan."

"Zhang Hongxia has a younger brother named Zhang Hongchao. Her father always wanted a son, so her mother was pregnant with a second child. The Zhang family paid a large fine for not complying with the family planning policy at the time."

Hearing this, Zhang Guowei, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help laughing: "According to this, this is where the character "超" in Zhang Hongchao's name comes from?"

"It's very possible." Wang Xiongjie looked serious and said solemnly: "Just like me! Wang Xiongjie is handsome and handsome, that's why I have this outstanding word "Jie" in my name."

Everyone was stunned.

The place was silent.

A few seconds later, a roar of laughter broke out.

"Okay, okay, jokes are jokes, let's continue." After everyone had laughed enough, Wang Xiongjie said: "Zhang Hongxia has a boyfriend named Wang Wenchang, who works in the District Group Arts Museum."

Zhang Guowei is the No. [-] figure in the district criminal police team.He asked seriously: "Team Wang, what is the mood of the deceased's family and her boyfriend?"

Wang Xiongjie put the cigarette close to the ashtray and flicked it: "It is basically logical. The deceased's mother was overwhelmed with grief and was sent home early. The deceased's brother was very excited and asked us to solve the case as soon as possible."

Zhang Guowei said: "It seems that their sibling relationship is very good?"

Wang Xiongjie nodded: "The boyfriend of the deceased... Well, to be precise, it should be the fiancé. They have reached the point where they are talking about marriage. The parents of both parties agree and bought some necessities for marriage, maybe by the end of this year or early next year Do business, set up a banquet."

Zhang Yixuan asked: "When something like this happened, the boyfriend of the deceased should be very sad, right?"

"He seldom speaks." Wang Xiongjie sighed: "Wang Wenchang has been crying, even more emotional than the mother of the deceased."

Hu Pingtao couldn't help thinking of the words "the deceased was pregnant" said by forensic doctor Ding Jian, shaking his head and sighing: "He is going to be a father soon, so it's no wonder he has such a reaction."

The atmosphere in the venue suddenly became a little depressed.

Wang Xiongjie took a deep breath of tobacco, and knocked on the table with his knuckles: "Cheer up, this is a case analysis meeting, don't make it like a memorial service. How many times have I said that solving a case cannot Personal emotions are substituted into it. You must be calm and rational!"

He raised his finger and looked at the opposite side: "Tang Yuan, tell me about your situation."

Tang Yuan is an old man of the criminal police team. He is 36 years old and is in charge of trace verification: "The footprints and fingerprints collected at the crime scene have been collected, and most of them are left by the deceased. The relevant comparison work is continuing, and the preliminary verification results will be released at noon tomorrow. Can come out. As far as the current situation is concerned, the fingerprints at the scene correspond to the deceased, his family members and her boyfriend, and there are no outsiders."

In the Internet age, fingerprints have become a "second ID card" in a sense.The system can find out the target from the vast inventory information in a short time, making it impossible to hide.

Wang Xiongjie shifted his gaze to a young policeman diagonally opposite: "Gu Dewei, it's your turn."

(Book Friends 2021 GoodWe character "Gu Dewei" appears. Sprinkle flowers! Applause!)
Gu Dewei is not tall, but very capable. He is mainly responsible for technical inspection: "Our technical team checked all the surveillance videos inside and around Jinchang Community, and the main time period was from yesterday afternoon to one hour before reporting the crime this morning. It is a "D" intersection, and the east and west are the main traffic roads. The adjacent area includes the interior of the community, and there are 67 monitoring probes. Four of them have failed. There are eight probes in the community, and the main monitoring area is Unit entrance and small plaza."

"At 22:[-] on the night of the [-]nd, that is, in the middle of the night yesterday, the No. [-] surveillance probe of Jinchang Community captured a picture of a man and a woman entering the community through the gate. We analyzed and technically processed the video to confirm that the woman who entered the community at that time It is the deceased Zhang Hongxia."

The atmosphere at the venue became active, and Hu Pingtao also felt relaxed.Surveillance video images are very helpful in solving cases, and can even directly identify the murderer.

A smile appeared on Wang Xiongjie's face: "Can you see that man's face on the surveillance video?"

"He is wearing a mask." Gu Dewei spoke slowly, clearly, with a hard and rigid feeling: "The property management regulations of Jinchang Community: the gate is closed at eleven o'clock. If the residents go home after the time, they must use the unified distribution of the property management Access control card, or knock on the window of the duty room, pay one yuan, and the security guard on duty will open the door and let people go.”

Wang Xiongjie sneered contemptuously: "The door will be closed at eleven o'clock to collect money...hehe..."

He shook his head very speechlessly.

Before he could continue, Zhang Yixuan couldn't wait to ask: "There should be someone in the duty room at that time! Didn't he come out to ask?"

Glancing at Wang Xiongjie, Gu Dewei also showed dissatisfaction: "The security guard in the community said that he was sleeping at the time. Because the access control card is only issued to the residents of the community, and the door can be opened by swiping the electronic lock, so they usually don't Ask."

Tang Yuan sighed: "It should be too lazy to ask, right! Just being so negligent for a few seconds has brought us so much trouble."

Zhang Guowei said: "Old Tang, don't blame other people's security guards. Who would worry so much when you get more than 2000 yuan a month? It's not like you don't know the security company's system. No matter how well you do, you won't get paid As for the salary, it would be nice to get up and open the door for residents who don’t have a key when they fall asleep in the middle of the night. I think it’s reasonable to charge one yuan.”

Zhang Yixuan didn't give up, and continued to ask: "Even if the other party is wearing a mask and cannot use technical means to analyze the face of the monitoring screen, then the other party must have physical characteristics, right?"

"Yes." Gu Dewei nodded: "I have a copy of the video here, everyone will know after looking at it."

The conference room has multimedia functions, and it can be played on the big screen as long as a USB flash drive is inserted.

The location shown on the screen is the main gate of Jinchang Community.The image is clear, and you can see the whole process of a man and a woman pushing the door in from the outside.

Zhang Hongxia was wearing a dress and a women's blue denim jacket. She seemed to be drunk, leaning on the man next to her, limp and powerless, almost being helped by him.

Hu Pingtao watched quietly, and the words that forensic doctor Ding Jian said at the scene of the crime flashed in his mind-there was no sign of struggle on the body of the deceased, and the initial examination of body fluids showed that there were residues of sleeping drugs. The detailed results will have to wait until he goes back. It will come out after further inspection.

The man next to Zhang Hongxia was wearing a black jacket, mask and hat, and a pair of sunglasses.The whole person was covered tightly.

Wang Xiongjie sat in the front row and watched very carefully.He stared at the screen intently, and sneered: "This guy is most likely the murderer. Wearing like this on a hot day, it's a prickly heat! Look at his hands again, wearing gloves, obviously he doesn't want to leave fingerprints."

Yes, the man on the screen is wearing a pair of white gloves.

He is not tall, almost at the same level as Zhang Hongxia.

He was a heavyset man, with his black jacket open to reveal a sporty T-shirt underneath.This kind of clothes is made of high elastic material, which is very close to the body.Although it is only a black and white picture, you can see his swollen and firm chest muscles and the neatly arranged muscles in his abdomen.

This scene lasted only five seconds, and then switched to the next surveillance camera, which showed a man walking into the unit building with Zhang Hongxia on his arm. The scene only showed the backs of two people.

"Tsk tsk tsk, is this guy a bodybuilder?" Wang Xiongjie spat, and said angrily, "That's fine, the target's body shape and characteristics are clear. The next step is to find the criminal suspect from this aspect."

Diagonally opposite, came Zhang Yixuan's smiling voice: "This case is not difficult to solve."

Zhang Guowei agreed: "Yeah! The key is to find this person."
