Detective Files II

Chapter 375 The Words Engraved on the Face
"Does your neighborhood often have water cut off?" Tian Mi asked Xiao Wei casually with doubts in her heart.

Xiao Wei shook his head without hesitation: "Water doesn't stop all the time, but power outages are common. It seems that the nearby communities often have power failures, and they often have power outages for maintenance. The water is still good. If you can catch up with it once a year, it's a lot." gone."

"Apart from you, who else knows that Jiang Yujing's house flooded the ceiling of your house?"

"My husband and my parents, who did Jiang Yujing tell, I don't know." Xiao Wei's mood has stabilized a lot, and his thinking and expression skills have gradually recovered, "The anti-theft door lock cylinder in our community cannot In other words, Jiang Yujing and I usually live alone, so we kept our spare keys with each other, so that if we forget to bring them when we go out, we have to spend money to replace the anti-theft door after finding a locksmith to unlock it. It’s a waste of money and energy. Apart from this, I usually say hello when we meet, and occasionally chat a few words, but there is no real communication.”

These words more or less meant to clear things up for herself. Tian Mi just nodded and didn't go into details. Under such circumstances, clearing things up is a kind of human instinct, and people who will exert this instinctive reaction , There are often two types, one is that the mentality of self-preservation is extremely strong, and the other is that the relationship is really not close enough to be involved.

"Can you recall, before you learned of Jiang Yujing's death today, when was the last time you saw her?" Now that Xiao Wei has calmed down and can consider the degree of friendship with Jiang Yujing, Tian Mi naturally wants to take care of her. Ask about the last time Jiang Yujing was seen by neighbors.

This question stumped Xiao Wei. She recalled it for a long time before she was uncertain and said: "If you asked me before, I can really tell. Her family runs a cram school, and there are always students going in and out. I can hear the sound of footsteps, doors opening and closing, but recently she was on vacation, and she didn't see any students coming to her door. I was not at home at work during the day, and it was quiet upstairs every night, and I didn't meet any students in the corridor. I've been to her. The last time I greeted her was in May, and when I saw her, it was just now..."

Having said that, Xiao Wei naturally recalled the scene he saw just now, and couldn't help shivering again, Xiao Wei's mother hurriedly put her arms around her shoulders to comfort her.

"Then recently, have you seen any suspicious-looking people around?" Tian Mi hurriedly changed the topic, not expecting Xiao Wei to start crying again.

Xiao Wei shook his head: "This community is open, and there are many people who walk around and take shortcuts every day. In addition, there are renovations downstairs now, and there are more people coming in and out. When I come back from work at night, besides being able to see When the decoration workers leave work, they don’t meet anyone else.”

Lu Xiangdong stood by the window for a long time, when he heard Xiao Wei mentioning the topic of renovation workers, he turned his head and asked her: "Which one of your units is doing renovations?"

"One on the third floor, one on the fourth floor, but the decoration on the fourth floor is basically finished. Every day, people come to open and close the windows to release formaldehyde. There are no workers coming in and out. The house on the third floor seems to be rushing to work. These days, carpenters and bricklayers. Let's work together!"

"Have the decoration workers been working here for a long time?"

"A few of them seem to have been working here for a long time, and they look familiar after meeting them a few times, but most of them can't remember, and I don't know how long they stayed here." Xiao Wei couldn't say for sure. reply.

Lu Xiangdong didn't ask any further questions about her answer, he nodded to Xiao Wei, and glanced at Tian Mi: "Do you have anything else to ask?"

"No more," Tian Mi looked at the records in her notebook, and felt that this was the only way to go, and she already had the idea of ​​leaving.

They wanted to leave, and Xiao Wei, the mother and daughter, of course wished for it. Based on the traditional thinking that more things are worse than less things, who would want to deal with the criminal police for a neighbor's life lawsuit.

Before leaving, Xiao Wei's mother asked Tian Mi for her opinion again, asking if she was sure she could take Xiao Wei back to her mother's house for a while, Tian Mi gave an affirmative answer, and after the two parties exchanged contact information, Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong left.

When we left Xiaowei's house, the finishing work at Jiang Yujing's house upstairs was over, and everyone happened to go back to the police station together. Tian Yang went to find his acquaintances in the newspaper office to find out the news. Mi and Lu Xiangdong were in the same car, and after hearing Tian Mi's analysis that the murderer might send the same CD to the media, they also felt worried.

"You say, what Jiang Yujing did before he was alive-running cram schools to collect money, collecting property from students' parents, and discriminating against underachievers. In fact, many teachers have this kind of problem more or less, but they are not as good as Jiang Yujing. Seriously, this person is so high-profile, I'm afraid that others will not know that he tortured a middle school head teacher, is it because he wants to attack this kind of teacher who has 'violated' behavior?"

"It's possible, but it's just that we can't come to a conclusion so quickly." Lu Xiangdong answered Mo Dou's question while driving.

Tian Mi turned her head and asked Mo Dou who was sitting in the back row: "Did you find anything at the scene?"

"Yes, but it doesn't mean much." Mo Dou shook his head, "There is no trace of cleaning or wiping in the room, and fingerprints can be extracted everywhere, but the more this is the case, the more hopeless it is. From the beginning, I wear gloves, so there is no possibility of leaving fingerprints, so there is no need to wipe and clean it.”

"What about the footprints?" Tian Mi realized as soon as she heard it that they met a very cautious criminal this time.

"It's even more interesting to talk about footprints!" Mo Dou smiled, but that smile had nothing to do with happiness, it was completely helpless, "The only footprints found on the scene were ones that didn't even have a third of their footprints. What's more annoying is that the blood-stained shoe print itself is small enough, and the edges are still blurred. The buddy of criminal technology told me just now that it feels like the murderer is here. There are shoe covers on your feet!"

"This person is either a habitual offender! Or he is a very careful person! And it seems that this person has planned to kill Jiang Yujing for a long time! The preparations are so thorough!" Tian Mi was surprised.

"This matter is still very contradictory. If the murderer is targeting Jiang Yujing himself to avenge his personal revenge, it may be easier to handle. If it is really targeting the profession of teachers as I guessed just now, then let's not remind the public to take precautions." Certainly not, but reminding, or the murderer really sent a CD to the newspaper or something, it will disturb people's hearts!" Mo Dou punched his thigh anxiously.

"Go back and listen to the news, maybe it's not as pessimistic as we thought!" Tian Mi still had a little fantasy about the situation.

"I hope so." It was Lu Xiangdong who spoke, and he seemed not optimistic about Tian Mi's optimistic attitude.

Before the car arrived at the Public Security Bureau, Tian Mi received a call from Wang Chun. Wang Chun thought she had already returned, but when he heard that she was still on the way, he told Tian Mi to go to the police station and go find her first. Come on, I have something to show Tian Mi.

Tian Mi knew that Wang Chun must have made some important discovery on the corpse, so she was in a hurry to let her go, so she didn't go back to the serious crime team with Mo Dou when she arrived at the unit, but went straight to Wang Chun to see Condition.

When Wang Chunren rushed over, he was conducting an autopsy in the autopsy room. Tian Mi was allowed to enter the autopsy room after wearing a hat and mask as required.

"You're here? It's pretty fast!" Wang Chun saw Tian Mi who hurried in, and put down the scalpel on her hand. Half of her face was covered by a light green mask, so she couldn't see it. The expression, from the eyes and tone, can be guessed to be a smile, "I was still hesitating whether to start the autopsy just now, I was afraid that you would be frightened when you came. After the corpse was brought back, I cleaned the surface Bloodstained, and found something interesting."

Tian Mi was aroused by her words and stretched her neck to look behind Wang Chun.

Wang Chun moved away, and the dissection operating table behind her was exposed in front of Tian Mi.

Jiang Yujing's body had been stripped of its clothes, and the blood stains on its body were washed away. It was lying naked on the dissecting bed, with deep and shallow wounds all over its body. The marks are almost invisible, the flesh at the deeper wound is turned outward, exposing the muscles inside, perhaps because of the excessive blood loss before, the color of the muscles is not as dark red as Tian Mi thought, and it is also the same as Jiang Yujing's whole body , pale.

"Come and see the wound on her face!" Wang Chun stood beside the dissecting bed, stretched out his hand and slowly turned Jiang Yujing's head to one side.

"Is this okay? Could it be..." Tian Mi was a little worried when she saw her moving the corpse.

Wang Chun guessed what she wanted to say, and shook his head: "It's okay, Jiang Yujing's death time has exceeded 48 hours, and the rigor phenomenon has begun to disappear, I can count it."

It was only then that Tian Mi realized how superfluous her worries were. No matter what Wang Chun said, she was a professional.

She hurried forward, looked at Jiang Yujing's face, and was immediately taken aback.

After the blood on Jiang Yujing's face was wiped clean, the wounds on his face were not as messy as he thought.On her left cheek, from the position of the cheekbone to the lower jaw, three words were crookedly carved with a knife - "murderer".

"And this side." Wang Chun said while turning Jiang Yujing's head.

On the other cheek, in a similar position, three other characters were inscribed - "Executioner".
