Detective Files II

Chapter 2
On an early autumn night, in addition to the temperature left during the day, the air was a little bit cooler than in summer. On a tree-lined road in a residential area in Nancheng, City C, a girl was walking hurriedly, chatting with her surroundings after dinner. The leisurely pacing residents formed a stark contrast, and her pretty and cute baby face and the police uniform she was wearing also attracted more attention. The image of the majestic policeman is quite different. Secondly, looking at the stern expression on the policewoman's face, one can't help but wonder, could something happen?
Everyone's guess is right, this girl who is ignorant of the fact that she has become the focus of attention of the people around her is none other than our hot-blooded policewoman——Tian Mi.

After graduating from the police academy, she didn't want to stay in the office and do the back office work that others called "suitable for girls". She wanted to go to the front line and fight criminals like her brother Tian Yang.No, Cheng Feng, her most admired elder brother, married his own wife Liu Jiayi last month, and finally got a vacation this month, and the two of them went on their honeymoon sweetly. It was due to the lack of a general, and a policeman needed to be seconded from the police force. Tian Mi tried her best, regardless of her brother Tian Yang's opposition, and finally won this opportunity.

Naturally, Tian Yang's reason cannot be separated from his family's concern. He always feels that a little girl like his own sister should stay away from murder, violence, sun and rain, and do some relatively easy work to make people feel at ease.But Tian Mi doesn't see it that way. The passion and sense of justice in her bones make her unable to sit on the bench. In addition, after Cheng Feng and Jiayi got married, a new wish sprouted in her heart—she also hopes that Being able to meet an excellent criminal policeman who can fight side by side with him, and talk about a vigorous love.

Today was the first time she appeared on the scene after being seconded to the serious crime team, and she was full of tension and excitement along the way.

Arriving at the scene of the crime, because of the homicide, the downstairs was surrounded by surrounding residents who watched the excitement, and whispers came from all directions, which made Tian Mi's already anxious heart a little more restless.

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, this is the first time she handles a case with the serious crime team, how she behaves is of great significance!
Of course, only Tian Mi knew about the small calculations.

"Ouch!" Preoccupied with her own thoughts, Tian Mi was inadvertently bumped into by a child running past, staggering and almost bumping into the person next to her. She stood up in embarrassment and glared at the children. Glaring, he turned his head and said to the person who was almost "affected" by him, "Sorry, I didn't meet you, did I?"

no respond.

Only then did she notice the other person's appearance.

It was a man, a tall man, his black windbreaker almost drowned him in the night, and his mid-length hair was slightly messy.At this moment, he was silently raising his head, looking upstairs through the black narrow-rimmed glasses with a focused expression.

Wiping the fine sweat from her forehead due to the rush, Tian Mi curled her lips quietly, ignoring the man, and walked straight to the unit door. When she reached the door of the building, she couldn't help but glance back at the man in the black windbreaker. Still standing there motionless.

"Wearing a black windbreaker at night, playing invisibility? Standing there motionless and pretending to be Darwin, what a weirdo!" She said to herself.

And then, he also put these behind him.

The crime took place on the sixth floor of this building. It was a small apartment. After Tian Mi showed her ID to the colleague at the door, she stepped into the door cautiously.

"Tian Mi, you're here!" Seeing her figure, An Changpu immediately greeted her: "Not bad, little girl! You acted quickly! You arrived so soon after receiving the call!"

"That is, in today's society, efficiency is the most expensive!" Tian Mi smiled back at him, and at the same time did not forget to protest: "Comrade An Changpu, we are about the same age, and I am also a seconded member of the serious crime team. Colleague, please don't call me a little girl, it's not conducive to my dignified image!"

An Changpu couldn't help but nodded: "Success! Comrade Tian Mi, please allow me to introduce the situation to you!"

According to An Changpu's introduction, Tian Mi learned that the deceased in today's case was the owner of this small apartment. His name was Qiao Qiong. He was 24 years old this year. He used to be an employee of a small private enterprise in City C and held an accounting position. , resigned one and a half months before the murder, and has been at home since then.

The reporter of this case is the boyfriend of the deceased Qiao Qiong, named Lin Xiang, who is 28 years old and a tour guide. According to himself, he and Qiao Qiong have been in love for many years and have always had a good relationship. Unexpectedly, when he brought the group back today, he rushed home excitedly, and found his girlfriend hanging from the drain pipe in the corner of the bathroom.

"Where is this Lin Xiang?" Tian Mi asked after listening to An Changpu's story.

"Here, that's the one in the bedroom! Your brother is chatting with him!" An Changpu pointed in the direction of the bedroom.

Tian Mi looked in the direction he pointed, just in time to see Tian Yang coming out of the bedroom, followed by a distraught young man.

"Thank you for your cooperation, please wait a moment, I'm afraid you have to go to the bureau with us later!" Tian Yang said to Lin Xiang, the reporter.

Lin Xiang nodded numbly, walked into the living room like a ghost, sat down on the sofa, stared blankly at the dark window, and said nothing.

"This Lin Xiang! He said that when he got home, he saw his girlfriend hanging in the bathroom. He panicked for a while, so he took the man himself. No, it should be said that the corpse was lifted from the rope. Later, he found that the man had died. It's hard, so he called in a hurry, 120, 110, he called one by one!" Tian Yang sighed.

"Has suicide been ruled out?" Tian Mi knew that things couldn't be that simple, otherwise a suicide would not require the Serious Crime Squad.

"Basically ruled out! Thanks to the sharp brains and rich experience of the officers on duty at 110, after seeing the situation at the scene, I felt a little strange. After they measured, the toe of the deceased was 5 centimeters from the stool next to her feet after hanging herself. The gap! That is to say, if the deceased committed suicide, he would not be able to stand on tiptoes if he wanted to hang it up, and he might have to do a pull-up to make it possible!"

"Then the deceased person pretended to hang himself after being strangled?" Tian Mi asked.

"I don't know yet, I have to ask Forensic Doctor Zhao about this!" Tian Yang said while looking at the gate, raising his wrist to look at his watch: "Eh? Strange, it's been so long since the phone call, even if there is a traffic jam, the person should have arrived by now! "

Tian Mi also took a few glances towards the door: "Who are you waiting for? Brother Lei?"

"No, you forgot that Lei Zi went to training for promotion? I'm waiting... Forget it, let's talk about it later!" Tian Yang stopped talking in the middle of the sentence: "It is estimated that Zhao Fayi's end is similar. Alright, let's take a look at the situation first!"

Tian Mi followed Tian Yang and An Changpu to the bathroom, where forensic doctor Zhao had just conducted a preliminary examination of the corpse.

"Forensic Zhao, how is it? Was it strangled to death?" An Changpu asked.

Forensic Zhao shook his head: "It's true that he was hanged."

The three criminal policemen looked at each other, waiting for Zhao Forensic's next words.

"The deceased had massive bleeding under the conjunctiva, his lungs were swollen, and there were obvious rope marks on the neck with red and swollen edges. The strangle marks matched the nylon rope at the scene. He should be alive when he was hung up. There were some scratches on the lower jaw and the front of the neck. Judging from the remaining skin tissue in the nails, the deceased may have scratched himself to get rid of suffocation. Of course, this needs to be further confirmed. There is a red mark on the back of the deceased's neck, which is very thin. I suspect that it was left by something like a necklace torn off. There are also traces of damage caused by the forcible removal of the ring on the fingers. These should have occurred before and after the death. Many details need to be further checked. What can be confirmed so far is that no traces of sexual assault have been found. Judging from the traces of the rope on the body, he was not strangled to death." Forensic doctor Zhao pressed his waist without any trace: "Based on the initial judgment of the stiffness of the corpse, the death time of the deceased should not exceed 9 hours. Others , further dissection is required to confirm."

"Zhao Fayi, are you feeling unwell?" Tian Mi did not miss Zhao Fayi's small movements.

Fayi Zhao smiled lovingly at the girl who was the same age as his children: "Old arms and legs, it's not a problem!"

After seeing off forensic doctor Zhao who had finished work, Tian Mi turned around and saw the deceased Qiao Qiong lying on the bathroom floor.

It is said that the hanged people have ferocious faces, and Qiao Qiong is no exception. Although "scarce" is not a word, but the face distorted by the struggle does not make her much better.Because it has been dead for a while, there are corpse spots on the skin of the corpse exposed outside the silk nightgown, and there are scratches in all directions on the neck. The person is dead, the blood stops flowing, and the wound becomes slightly dark red. It's not bloody, and it still makes people feel a chill down the spine.

Tian Mi looked away, moved her feet, and looked at this small apartment of about 60 square meters.

From the decoration style, it is not difficult to see that the owner is a fashionable young woman.

The decoration of the whole house is in line with the tastes of young people nowadays. The living room is covered with light-colored wooden floors, and a rose-red fabric double sofa with a heart-shaped backrest is placed in the corner of the living room. Two plush pillows in the shape of strawberries are placed side by side on the sofa.The wall behind the sofa is a wall painting. The brown trunks and branches are soft and curly. The leaves are composed of countless pink peach hearts, some are connected to the branches, and some are falling in the wind, which looks cute and playful.One side of the sofa is an artificially separated study area. The computer desk and bookcase are half-hidden by lavender gauze. Xiang's intimate group photo.Tian Mi saw Qiao Qiong smiling like a flower in the photo, and then thought about her lying on the cold tile floor at this moment, her blood-red eyes were wide open due to suffocation, and the eyeballs seemed to come out of the eye sockets, with a utterly ferocious expression appearance.Such a gap made Tian Mi couldn't help sighing, and secretly felt the fragility of life in her heart, and everything that was originally overturned overnight.
