Detective Files II

Chapter 353 The Ring Under the Bed

What Lu Xiangdong said was exactly what Tian Mi thought in her heart. At the same time, the residual wax oil on the edge of the bedside table and bed frame made her discover another thing.
"You only saw the wax on the bed frame below when you lifted the bedding. The wax didn't drip, but it seemed that the glass vessel of the scented candle was accidentally knocked over, and the melted wax spilled out. , also splashed on the bed frame." Tian Mi lifted the bedding and looked inside and out, "From the perspective of spilling, it should be spilled towards the direction of the bed, but even the bed frame was stained, this bedding But it was clean, nothing…”
"Someone changed the bedding after that." Lu Xiangdong helped her conclude, "I believe that the changed bedding must have been taken away by the murderer and destroyed."
"Why do you need to change the bedding?" Tian Mi rubbed the silk bedding subconsciously, her brows furrowed tightly. "Could it be that the murderer was injured and was stained with blood? So he was afraid of leaving traces? But after Wang Chun's autopsy, no body was found on the deceased's body." There are serious battle wounds, if it is said that the deceased can injure the murderer with the upper hand, he will not be strangled to death by the murderer!"
"Combined with these signs, the gender of the murderer should be able to be concluded," Lu Xiangdong pointed to the rose petals he found just now, "One man, one woman, flowers, aromatherapy, the traces that the other party may leave are far more than just wounded and bleeding. .”
Tian Mi followed his inspiration to think about the past, and soon understood, and her cheeks blushed because of it.
"Let's see if there are any other clues!" In order to hide the embarrassment, Tian Mi chose to change the subject, "You said that possibility, I will check with the forensic doctor later to make a conclusion."
As she spoke, she began to check around the corners of the room again.
Lu Xiangdong was just discussing the matter at first, but when he saw Tian Mi's red face, he suddenly realized that the relationship between the two of them was more ambiguous than ordinary colleagues when talking about these things, so he also smiled a little more.
Tian Mi looked around again and again, but found no more valuable clues, so she gave up and exited Sun Linna's bedroom with Lu Xiangdong. When she reached out to turn off the light, she instinctively glanced again, but this glance made her realize that , in the corner under the bed, something reflected a little light.
"Wait a minute." She called Lu Xiangdong who was about to go upstairs, returned to Sun Linna's bedroom, bent down on the ground, crawled under the bed, and touched the reflective object from the deepest corner.
It was a ring, a ring studded with many broken diamonds.
"Look!" Tian Mi got out from under the bed, brushed the dust off her body, and handed the ring to Lu Xiangdong.
Lu Xiangdong took it over and glanced at it, but he didn't really care. Seeing Tian Mi looking at him expectantly, he hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to speak his mind truthfully: "I don't think this is what you want to find. The murderer forcibly took off the ring from Sun Linna's finger."
"Why?" His words made Tian Mi's originally high mood suddenly cool down, "Look! The texture of this ring is completely different from the ones in the jewelry box. It is also inlaid with broken diamonds, and it fell in such a deep corner. Just imagine who would casually throw their precious jewelry under the bed? The biggest possibility is that after the murderer took off the ring, he accidentally dropped the ring for some reason, and the ring rolled under the bed. The murderer was in a hurry to leave before he could Take it out, or he ignored it in panic!"

"What do you think, after a person kills someone, he still insists on removing the ring from the dead body? What is the meaning to the murderer? Would he let such an important ring be thrown away?" Lu Xiangdong asked Tian Mi , "A person who will repair the whole villa, three floors, and all the places that are prone to fingerprints, even the bedding is carefully changed, and even the paving is so smooth that it is difficult to detect, do you really think he Would you be so negligent with such an important ring?"

Tian Mi was at a loss for words, and her original hope became slim again.

"I'll take this ring back first. Anyway, let Wang Chun and the others check to see if it matches the scar on Sun Linna's ring finger. That's the safest thing." Tian Mi made a decision.

Lu Xiangdong had no objection to this, and the two climbed up to the third floor together.

The third floor of the villa is an attic structure, and the three rooms are semi-vacant, with a lot of unused items thrown away in a disorderly manner. After looking around, there is nothing worth noting, so Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong left there and went downstairs.

Before leaving, Tian Mi took the decoration renderings under the coffee table in the living room with her.

After leaving the villa, she didn't intend to leave immediately, but stood at the door lost in thought.

"What's wrong?" Lu Xiangdong asked.

"I'm thinking about two things." Tian Mi raised two fingers. "First, the murderer and Sun Linna may have had contact in the master bedroom, but they killed him in the small bedroom diagonally opposite the door. Why? Just now I saw the siren mentioned by the security guard, it was on the wall of the master bedroom, not far from the four-poster bed of Sun Linna, but the button was small and covered by the wallpaper, so it was not obvious. The murderer did not kill in the master bedroom, after all Is it a coincidence, or did you know there was an alarm on the wall, so you avoided it on purpose?"

"This question is interesting." Lu Xiangdong nodded, "The first one is over, what about the second?"

"Secondly, what the security guard said just now reminded me when I was in the security duty room. You remember that he said that there was a family with too many relatives and friends, and the car couldn't stop. In order not to block the road, the property finally opened a nearby building. gates of unsold villas and let them park their cars.”

After hearing this, Lu Xiangdong nodded, "Let's go, let's take a look around."

It was already dark at this time, but fortunately, both of them had the habit of carrying a small flashlight with them on weekdays, which did not hinder the next action.

The "Mirage" villa area is different from residential buildings or ordinary townhouses. Each household is separated by a short distance. Outside the tall iron fence courtyard wall and electric gate, outside the back door of the villa, there will be a The large garbage bin is used to hold the household garbage on weekdays. The garbage bin is placed outside the courtyard gate, which can also avoid the need to call the door when collecting garbage, which disturbs the life of the villa owner.

On the other hand, this arrangement also facilitated Tian Mi's investigation and they didn't need to call the security guard over.

Along the small road, with Sun Linna's villa as the center, Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong began to check the garbage bins of the surrounding villas, and finally, they were actually allowed to trash outside the courtyard wall of an unsold vacant villa about ten minutes away from Sun Linna's house. A black garbage bag containing scented candles, a large bouquet of withered red roses and many petals was found in the box. Not only that, but also two broken glass goblets. It has been used.

Tian Mi decided to bring all these back to the bureau to see if it could help.

Regrettably, although the two of them have expanded the search area to a large extent, the set of bedding that Lu Xiangdong deduced might be taken away by the murderer has never been found.

"It seems that what we need to find in the next step is not only Sun Linna's red sports car, but also that bedding that I don't know what kind of bedding." Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong took the blue suit, ring, and blueprints they found at Sun Linna's house, There are also flower petal wine glasses, and they return to the gate of the villa area.

The two security guards on duty looked at the things they were about to take away, and they were curious, but they didn't have the nerve to ask questions.

Tian Mi left their contact numbers, and drove back to the Public Security Bureau with Lu Xiangdong.

Going back to the serious crime team and handing over those things to Tian Yang, Tian Mi made a phone call to Wang Chun before it was too late. Although she had the forensic report in hand, it was more clear to communicate directly.

The call was connected to explain the question. Wang Chun recalled a little on the other end of the phone, and said to Tian Mi very firmly: "I am sure that the deceased Sun Linna had no relationship with anyone before she was killed."

"Is there any reason why it can't be detected?" Tian Mi was afraid that her consideration was not thorough enough. Sun Linna's appearance made her feel that this was the key to solving the whole bombing case. As long as the mystery surrounding Sun Linna was solved, other The clues can be run through.

"No!" Wang Chun was very confident in his firmness. "I'm sure of this. If he had sex in a short period of time before he was killed, it can be found out."

"I found a ring at the scene today, and I have to ask you to help me find out if it is the one that caused the scar on Sun Linna's finger." After hearing Wang Chun's answer, Tian Mi felt a little heavy. If she and Lu Xiangdong have had sex, then her and Lu Xiangdong's inferences about the romantic pitfalls are likely to be wrong.

"The ring? What does it look like?"

Tian Mi roughly described the appearance of the ring.

Wang Chun was silent on the phone for a while, and replied somewhat vaguely: "I haven't seen the real thing, so I can't be sure, but from your description, I don't think there is much hope, but no matter what, I will go to see it tomorrow morning." Let’s draw conclusions later!”

"Don't be impatient! If you are impatient, you won't be able to eat hot tofu!" After Tian Mi hung up the phone, she was a little unhappy, and Tian Yang comforted her from the side, "If the case can be closed in the afternoon when it happens in the afternoon, it will be too easy for us criminal policemen! It's good to have so much harvest in a short time, don't you have to investigate Sun Linna's shop and find her car tomorrow! The highlight is later!"

Tian Mi nodded, knowing in her heart that what Tian Yang said was reasonable, and the knot hadn't been untied yet, and it wasn't time to be discouraged.

"Let's go, it's already eight o'clock. There's more to do today. It's all done. There's no point in wasting it here." There are a lot of meals, let us go back as soon as we are done, or they will be cold."

After finishing speaking, he turned to invite Lu Xiangdong: "Let's join Xiangdong too."

"No need." Lu Xiangdong hesitated for a moment, and wanted to refuse.

Tian Yang had expected that he would refuse, so he smiled at him: "Emotions lie in cultivation, and cultivation requires contact."

"Okay." Lu Xiangdong, who thought he would refuse again, suddenly changed his mind.
