I'm not a super cop

Chapter 123
There was nothing special about the oranges, just a bag of oranges that had gone bad.

The reason why Xiao Ran noticed it was that the plastic bag didn't have any nested folds, it just folded down from it.

If the victim bought the oranges, it is likely that he just came back from the outside, and the murderer followed him in, so that the victim was killed without eating any of the oranges he just bought.

There are only two residents upstairs in Unit 4. If a stranger followed the victim up, it is impossible for the victim not to be alert.

And judging from the way the oranges are stacked in the bag, it is obvious that the bag of oranges was put down smoothly, not like it was dropped in a hurry.

When the victim was unsuspecting and the murderer followed in, there was only one possibility: the two knew each other.

If the murderer bought the bag of oranges, went into the victim's house and put the oranges down smoothly, if so, then the two are more likely to know each other, or have a close relationship.

Looking at the words 'Four Seasons Fruit' on the plastic bag, Xiao Ran established his first thought, perhaps, he could look it up at the fruit shop.

Zhang Lei and Shan Yuerou went through the kitchen meticulously, and when they came out, they saw Xiao Ran squatting beside the coffee table, staring at the orange, raised the camera to take a few photos, took another look, and took two more photos.

"Xiao Ran, why are you staring at this pile of oranges? They're all broken, isn't the big bag I just bought still in the team!" Zhang Lei couldn't help but said.

"Hey, by the way, I forgot that you have a lot of research on oranges!"

Seeing Zhang Lei, Xiao Ran quickly waved him over, "Come and see, how long have these oranges been stored?"

"Then you have found the right person. I did the verification and observed the oranges for half a year!"

Zhang Lei wore gloves, opened the plastic bag, picked up a few oranges and looked at them: "The dark spots have almost taken up a quarter of the surface, about 11 days old!"

"11 days?"

Xiao Ran frowned. If this bag of oranges was placed here 11 days ago, then he deduced for a long time, wouldn't it be a waste of brain cells?

But after thinking about it again, I felt wrong.

If the victim had bought oranges 11 days ago, he would not have eaten them for a few days, and after looking around just now, there were no orange peels in the trash can.

Therefore, when the orange was bought and put down, it should have been in the fruit shop for several days.

"Captain Lei, here is the information you need, there are still half a month left, all the monitoring of this building and the two gates of the community."

At nearly 9 o'clock in the evening, Captain Ji of the police station came in with a file folder and a mobile hard drive to find Team Lei.

Team Lei opened the folder and took a look: "Fan Changjie?"

"Yes, the owner of this house is Fan Changjie. He is 61 years old and lives alone. His wife passed away the year before last, and his son's family is out of town."

Captain Ji nodded and said, "Fan Changjie used to work in Changhui Electronics Factory in our city as the workshop director. He retired less than a year ago."

"How is his reputation in the factory?" Team Lei asked with a sullen face, looking at the two lines of red letters on the wall.

Captain Ji was stunned: "I don't know much about this... but I heard it's not very good."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, we are almost done, you go back first!" Team Lei nodded.

"Okay, if you need us next, you can greet us at any time!" Captain Ji said straightforwardly, turned around and left with his team members.

Team Lei looked at the papers in the folder again, then turned around and handed the materials and the hard drive to Shao Yong: "How is the field investigation going?"

"It's almost over, and the Forensic Medicine Department has already brought the body back for an overnight autopsy. The autopsy report will not come out until tomorrow at the earliest!" Shao Yong said.

"Well, did you find anything at the scene?" Team Lei asked.

Shao Yong shook his head: "The cash and other valuables in the house have no traces of tampering, and it doesn't seem to be for money. As for footprints and fingerprints, let's put it this way, not a single hair was left on the scene!"

"The purpose is very clear, it is to kill people."

Lei Kang frowned and asked, "Did you see the corridor outside?"

"Old Li led the second team to check, but there was no progress." Shao Yong said.

"Exactly the same!"

Team Lei took a deep breath, and his black face was so heavy that it was about to drip: "If it is really the same as it was 15 years ago, we must find the murderer as soon as possible, and we must not let him continue to commit crimes!"

Shao Yong nodded: "It's really too similar. The three consecutive kills 15 years ago, the first kill was also a vendetta like this!"

Xiao Ran stood by and listened quietly, but for a moment he was in a fog. He hadn't read the case file 15 years ago. What was the case back then?

"It's very focused."

Shao Yong turned his head to look at Xiao Ran, and said with a smile: "Seeing you walking around the room again and again, how is it, did our little detective find anything?"

"Shao team, don't praise me." Xiao Ran shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I just think that bag of oranges is quite interesting."

"Oranges?" Team Lei looked at the plastic bags on the coffee table with questioning eyes.

Xiao Ran expressed his thoughts.

Lei Kang agreed: "Your observation is correct. Since the initial judgment is a vendetta, if the two don't know each other, where can they go to form an enmity. ... But starting from the fruit shop is indeed a way of thinking."

"However, there is something I don't understand." Xiao Ran said.

"What don't you understand?"

"That is, if the murderer was alone, how did he hang Fan Changjie up?"

Xiao Ran looked at the rope on the ground and said: "One person hoisted another person to such a high place, and there was no trace of friction between the rope and the steel hook on it. It's too weird."

Hearing this, Team Lei frowned and walked under the hook, looked at the rope with his lower body, and gestured at the height of Fan Changjie's hoisting: "Or... is there someone helping to support the corpse?"

"Two people? Could it be from a gang!" Shao Yong said in shock.

It was close to ten o'clock in the evening. After the on-site investigation was completed, everyone returned to the bureau. After a brief meeting, the forensic medicine department and the technical team all stayed and worked overtime to check all kinds of traces.

Xiao Ran didn't go back, but went to Team Lei to ask for the 15-year unsolved case file, and sat in his seat to read it quietly.

That year, there were three cases of the "Zigsaw of Smiley" case. Judging from the time of the forensic judge in the file, the three cases took a total of 2 months from the first kill to the third kill.

The first kill was on August 8 of that year. The deceased was named Jing Wu, a 1-year-old marketing director of a company.

Looking at the photos of the crime scene back then, Xiao Ran couldn't believe it. The scene back then was exactly the same as the scene in the 2001 room.

They were all mechanically suffocated, they were all naked, and even the zigzag angles after being hoisted almost coincided.

According to the file, Jing Wu is a very despicable person. Relying on his authority as the director, he eats and asks for cards, asks for benefits from subordinates in various ways, and even lures female employees who want to be superior to be intimate with him and so on.

However, the difference between Jing Wu and Fan Changjie is that Jing Wu is divorced and Fan Changjie is widowed.

And at the scene of Jing Wu, there was no handwriting left, of course, there were no traces left either, the scene was clean.

After reading the dossier of the fifth case of Jing, it felt like a pair of devil's hands suddenly stretched out from hell and gently hanged him at home.
