Attending ex-girlfriend's wedding, arresting the groom's officer on the spot

The deceased was lying on his back in the middle of the room, and it appeared that he had suffered a severe blow to the head.

In addition, there was a lot of dust covering the body of the deceased, which meant that he must have been dead for a long time.

It is possible that because of the dry weather, the corpse became shriveled after decay and gradually took on the state of a mummy.

Wang Zhaokai and his team first talked to the person who reported the case and the landlord to learn about the relevant situation, while Lu Chuan conducted a simple inspection of the house.

The display facilities in the room are relatively simple, there are not many furnitures, no computers, only a TV, and it is an old-fashioned color TV, not LCD.

There is no air conditioning, only an electric fan, and the bed is made of simple boards.

But there is a dressing table next to it. The dressing table is very new and looks like it was purchased not long ago. However, because no one has used it for a long time, there is a layer of dust on it.

There was a refrigerator in the house. When Lu Chuan opened it, he found that there was nothing moldy or spoiled inside. There were a few shriveled vegetables and some meat in the freezer.

It is obvious that the house must have been regularly occupied before the death of the deceased.

Although the whole room was rather dirty, there were no signs of particular disorder, which meant that there were no signs of rummaging.

Lu Chuan looked very carefully. In addition to these things, there was also a small desk in the house. On the desk there were two pencils that were about 1/5 of the size left, and an eraser that had about 1/2 of the size left.

There are many traces of carving on the table under the thin layer of dust.

Moreover, the arrangement of tables and chairs suggests that a student has lived here and this is where he studied.

Another thing that attracted Lu Chuan's attention was the cosmetics on the dressing table.

Although the cosmetics have a layer of fine dust on them because no one has used them for a long time, the prices of these cosmetics look relatively expensive and they are all internationally renowned brands.

Living in this semi-basement room without any decent furniture, it can be seen that the family lives a normal life. But the hostess can afford such expensive cosmetics, which is indeed a bit unusual.

After all, the price of these cosmetics is enough for their family to rent a better house instead of living in this semi-basement.

There were no signs of rummaging in the entire room, and judging from the clues observed so far, there was indeed a hint of a murder in a closed room.

According to the initial information obtained by Wang Zhaokai and his colleagues, the person who reported the case was the daughter of the deceased. They had just returned from working in the south, and when they came back they found that the door of the rental house was locked. After shouting for a long time and no one opened it, they violently opened the padlock.

Of course, because the door was locked from the outside, if the murderer locked the person up after killing him, it would not be considered a closed-room murder case.

What really made Lu Chuan feel that there was a problem was that this door was one of those old hidden locks with an anti-locking function from the inside, and this cumbersome function could not be locked from the outside.

I just checked the door lock on the road, and the anti-lock function inside was actually on. That is to say, the door was locked with two locks before the victim's daughter and others opened it, one on the outside and the other on the inside.

This is the main reason why Lu Chuan focused on investigating the scene.

If the murderer kills someone in the room and leaves normally, he can lock the door from the outside, but he has no way to lock the push-button lock inside the door, which means there is no way to lock it from the inside.

There was only a small window against the wall in the entire room.

But the window was also locked from the inside, with no signs of it being opened or stepped on. In addition, the window was very small, and an adult could not get in or out through it. In addition to this small window and the door, there was no other way to get in or out of the basement.

In addition, when Lu Chuan came in, he observed carefully and found some footprints and tracks on the ground. Lu Chuan had already drawn them and would be able to collect some later. However, because these footprints were covered with a layer of dust, it was still quite difficult to collect them.

The last point is that the deceased's clothes were a little torn, as if they had been cut.

When he lifted up the clothes of the sleepless man, he found some wounds on his abdomen, but the specific cause of death had to wait for the mage to perform an autopsy to determine.

Moreover, judging from the condition of the corpse, it has been quite a long time since death. Of course, the exact length of time depends on detailed analysis. But based on a preliminary look, the corpse has been in its current state for at least half a year.

I have almost asked about the general situation of Wang Zhaokai and his team.

What followed was a detailed on-site investigation. The criminal police from the Criminal Police Brigade came and asked Wang Zhaokai to report the relevant situation to Lu Chuan. The forensic doctor also arrived and conducted a preliminary inspection of the wetland.

"Director Lu, we have found out the general situation of the deceased. The deceased is called Chen Yaju. She is the mother of the reporter Zhang Xiaoman. Zhang Xiaoman and her husband Wang Peng came back from working in the south. They were originally going to deal with the rental house because the lease on the house had recently expired."

It turned out that this house was rented by Zhang Xiaoman and her husband Wang Peng to their father and mother a year ago.

Chen Yaju's home is in the countryside of Haizhou City.

A year ago, because the family didn't make much money and Chen Yaju always quarreled with her father when she was in the countryside, Zhang Xiaoman thought about bringing her mother to the city to live with her.

Life was originally pretty good, but Chen Yaju and her father often quarreled at home, and she also had conflicts with Zhang Xiaoman. As time went on, the two families could no longer live together.

"Later, Zhang Xiaoman discussed with her husband Wang Peng and rented a house like this for her parents. One advantage of this house is that it is cheap and close to where Zhang Xiaoman's son goes to school."

"But half a year ago, Zhang Xiaoman and Wang Dapeng went to work in the south and have not returned since."

son?

Suddenly I remembered a small desk and chair in the rental house, as well as the unused chickens, pencils and erasers in it.

"Should I go to primary school?"

"Yes, second grade."

"Well, keep talking."

Wang Zhaokai nodded: "According to Zhang Xiaoman, she contacted her parents half a year ago. Her father took her son back to the countryside, and only her mother lives here."

Lu Chuan keenly discovered that there were some problems here.

"You mean Zhang Xiaoman and her husband left Haizhou City half a year ago to work in the south, and then Zhang Xiaoman's father took Zhang Xiaoman's son back to his rural hometown, leaving his mother Chen Yajun alone here."

"Isn't this a bit weird?"

"Zhang Xiaoman has been away for half a year. Didn't he call his mother once during this period? How could they have discovered his mother's murder only when they were dealing with the expiration of the lease?" (End of this chapter)
