Back to the past: Spring and Autumn Siheyuan

Chapter 336 Discovery
Li Heng was busy with the first big exam he was about to face, and his wife, along with several colleagues from the fourth team of the criminal investigation department, visited Guo's house again.

"After I went back, I also thought about it seriously. In such a big room, it would be suspicious if two people died of gas poisoning at the same time. Do these two girls really sleep like that?"

After entering, Team Leader Chen looked around and said.

"Team leader, there is a situation that can make them sleep so dead."

"Xiao Juan'er, you want to say that someone drugged Liu Qiao and the child, right?"

"Yes"

"Unfortunately, Guo Shuangqing disagrees with the autopsy, and there is no evidence to prove that Liu Qiao and the child did not die in an accident. What we are talking about is just speculation, and there is not even a single clue." Chen Gui shook his head and continued to wander around the room. stand up.

Once you enter this room, it is equivalent to the main room, and there are two separate rooms on both sides, one is for Liu Qiao and his wife, and the other is for the children.

Fang Xiaoya stood at the door, her eyes kept looking back and forth at the stove in the middle of the room. After watching for a while, she raised her head to look at the chimney.

A member of the fourth group saw that she was looking at the chimney, and said: "Or let's do this, start the stove now, and then close the doors and windows, and see how long it takes for the house to produce that kind of smoke." Choking carbon monoxide."

This is the most stupid way, but at present it is the only way to solve this doubt.

The coals in the stove were quickly ignited. Fang Xiaoya looked at the smoke from the chimney that stretched out of the window, and suddenly thought of the problem about time that Li Heng told her last night.

"Team Leader Chen, look, the chimney has been emitting smoke, which means that it is not blocked, so six or seven hours should not be able to completely suffocate people in it."

"Could it be that the time of death inferred by the forensic doctor was wrong that day. He said it was two to four o'clock, but in fact it should be four to six o'clock, or even an hour later."

Chen Gui also noticed the chimney, he thought for a while and said hesitantly.

"It's very possible, but how could Forensic Wang make such a low-level mistake?"

"I don't know about that. Anyway, you have seen it. Although there are doubts, we really can't find any clues."

"Team leader, Xiaoya, come here."

Just as Fang Xiaoya was about to say something, Song Xiaojuan called out from outside the house.

"What's the matter, Xiaojuan?"

"Group leader, no one touched this stool when we came yesterday, right? Look at the footprints on it, are they very clear, as if they were newly left?"

Song Xiaojuan pointed to a wooden bench under the window and said.

"Stool? None of our people should have touched the stool yesterday. Aunt Cheng, does this stool belong to the Guo family?"

Chen Gui glanced at the big footprints on the stool, then raised his head and asked Aunt Cheng, who was standing at his door looking this way.

"It belongs to their family. After Guo Shuangqing helped me and their family install the chimney last week, it seems that it has not been moved in and has been left there."

After hearing Aunt Cheng's words, Chen Gui turned around and walked into the house. When he came out again, he had a stool in his hand. He looked up at the mouth of the chimney, then put the stool down, stepped on the stool and stood up. After taking a look, he came down again, without saying anything, just calling Fang Xiaoya and Song Xiaojuan to enter the house.

"What's the matter, Team Leader Chen, what did you find?" Fang Xiaoya asked eagerly as soon as she entered the room.

"It's hard to say if it was found, but we have to take down the chimney and take it back for inspection. I just went up and found some traces in the chimney, which seems to have been stuffed there."

"Someone deliberately blocked the chimney?"

"It's very possible, but you have to ask Guo Shuangqing to see how he cleaned up the chimney before he didn't use it, and then ask the trace inspection department to see when the traces were formed. If they were really formed, then Liu Qiao With the death of the child, it is very likely that it was a case of intentional homicide."

Look, this is not a clue, although it is still very vague, but now that something suspicious has been found, it must be investigated. If it is really a new trace, even if Guo Shuangqing disagrees, they can still ask for a forced autopsy.

And if he still doesn't agree by then, the suspicion will be greatly increased.

So, after Chen Gui and another team member sealed the stove, they started to dismantle the chimney, which stunned Aunt Cheng who had been sitting at the door of her house watching them.

"Aunt Cheng, let me ask you something."

"Hey, comrade, you can ask."

Taking advantage of nothing to do at the moment, Fang Xiaoya wandered over to chat with Aunt Cheng again.

"I just want to ask, before the Guo family installed the chimney, where was the chimney placed?"

"Here, it's right there." Aunt Cheng raised her finger to the corner under the eaves of the house where Guo's family lived.

"Then have you ever noticed how the chimney of his house is cleaned when it is not in use?"

"How did you clean it up? Aren't they all the same? Take some waste paper and pack the two ends together."

"Aren't you stuffing something in there?"

"Who stuffs things into this thing, as long as it's wrapped, some don't even wrap it, anyway, you have to beat it when you use it, comrade, what's the matter? Why are you demolishing his chimney?"

"Oh, it's okay. We took it back for an experiment and returned it to him. Aunt, aren't you afraid of living here alone at night?" Fang Xiaoya quickly changed the subject.

"It's nothing to be afraid of. I'm an old woman at such an age. I haven't seen anything. It's a pity. It's hard to find a daughter-in-law like Qiaoer. She is hardworking and capable. She takes care of the house inside and out. Li Suosuo, seeing that I often help me with work when I am old, Jianguo's child is also smart and well-behaved, alas, tell me, how can such a good person not live long, why did this accident happen to her family.

My wife is also to blame, if I had gone out late yesterday morning, I would have noticed something was wrong, maybe the mother and son could still be saved. "

As she spoke, Aunt Cheng's tears flowed down her cheeks. After living in a courtyard for three years, she became a little emotional no matter what.

Aunt Cheng is more than 50 years old this year. If it is really based on the year name, it has gone through Guangxu, Xuantong, and the Republic of China to the present. There are four dynasties.

What scene has never been seen before, the death of two people in the courtyard is nothing, she doesn't care at all, even if she suddenly becomes a person living here again, she feels a little lonely, misses Liu Qiao and Guo Jianguo very much, and blames herself .

"Auntie, don't think about it, take care of your body."

"Hey, don't worry, old lady, my health is fine. Miss, how old are you this year?" Aunt Cheng stared at Fang Xiaoya, and suddenly her eyes lit up and asked.

"Me? I'm 22 this year."
