Detective Files II

Chapter 412 Curtains
When she walked downstairs, Tian Mi felt as if her two legs had been taken out of her bones, limp and unable to lift them up. It was already dark outside, and the air was a little more hot than the daytime heat. It's just that Tian Mi can't feel the coolness of her son at this moment. Her heart still seems to be tightly wrapped in layers of plastic wrap, and she can't breathe a little.

"Before you came, you guessed that the person who was killed this time was Wang Chun?" Tian Mi remembered Lu Xiangdong's face before the two rushed over, and the vaccination he gave himself.

Lu Xiangdong nodded silently: "Didn't I have a meal with her before, and I remembered this neighborhood when I drove her back."

"So when Tian Yang told us the address, you thought of the scalpel handle that 'Judge' sent us, and you thought of Wang Chun?"

"Correct."

Tian Mi didn't continue to ask. Right now, her emotions are still shrouded in an indescribable shock and sadness. It seems that the operation of her brain has slowed down. She has no way to think and can only do things mechanically.

The district police waiting downstairs also learned about the special identity of the deceased this time. Even if they were not familiar colleagues from the same unit, after seeing Wang Chun's death with their own eyes, they couldn't help but feel angry.The police know the hard work of the police best, especially for the female police officers who work on the front line. Now such a young and beautiful female forensic doctor has unfortunately become a victim of crime.

They saw how Tian Mi was deeply affected by Wang Chun's death, so they didn't have the heart to comment too much in front of her, but silently took her to the building opposite Wang Chun's house, the one on the opposite floor to hers. people go.

The reporter who lived in the opposite building was a family of three, a husband and wife and their daughter who just entered the first grade of junior high school.

When Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong came to the door accompanied by the district police, the mother and daughter of this family were sitting on the sofa and cuddling together. Smoking at the dining table in the living room.

Seeing Tian Mi and the others, the man extinguished the cigarette that was about to run out into the ashtray in front of him, forced a difficult smile at the corners of his mouth, and said, "You guys, don't be surprised, we used to I have never encountered such a thing before, and I felt a little uncomfortable for a while, and the child was terrified."

Tian Mi expressed her understanding, sat down under the guidance of the man, and introduced herself to the family.

The man's surname is Zheng, and the woman's surname is Lan. The family of three has lived in this community for almost six years, and they understand the situation in the community fairly well. Although they don't know that Wang Chun's occupation is a forensic doctor at the Public Security Bureau. She is also a kind of neighbor who is familiar with her when she looks down and does not look up.

The discovery of Wang Chun's murder was entirely a coincidence.

"My daughter's school is going to hold some experimental public class, so I took my classmate's telescope home to play. At that time, my wife and I were busy cooking in the kitchen, and we heard the child shouting loudly in the living room. I thought she I saw some mice, cockroaches, etc., no one thought it would be that kind of thing." The male head of the household, Lao Zheng, said to Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong, "We both were shocked when we saw it at first sight, so hurry up. Pull the child aside, for fear that she will have nightmares if she sees it again."

"Can you describe what you saw at that time?" Tian Mi asked. This is a very common sentence, but it is extremely difficult to say it today, because hearing the answer to this question is also a kind of torture for her.

Lao Zheng glanced at his wife, and his wife immediately took the child understandingly, sent her into the bedroom and closed the door before returning to the living room.

"The child was also very scared tonight. We don't want her to listen to us repeat the previous events and deepen this bad memory." Lao Zheng said to Tian Mi.

Tian Mi nodded understandingly. Today she understands such an approach very much, because if it is not for her job, she would like to stay away from it, so as not to hear more and see more details of Wang Chun's tragic death.

Lao Zheng didn't know what Tian Mi was thinking, and said to her: "The child was playing with a telescope in the living room, and then suddenly called us, saying that there was someone naked in the living room from the building opposite. I saw something inappropriate for children. You also know that the young people nowadays sometimes go crazy and have no sense of restraint. In the end, I took a telescope from her hand and looked at it. I almost didn’t scare me to death. Otherwise, I have to scare her to death! That woman is standing in the living room, her feet are clearly hanging in the air!"

"Yeah, he told me at the time, I still didn't believe it! I took a telescope and took a look before I believed it. The woman seemed to be still covered with blood. She was hanging under the lamp without even a piece of clothing on her body. It's so scary!" Lao Zheng's wife, Xiaolan, hugged her arm, and she was still trembling when she talked about the situation just now.

After listening to their narration, Wang Chun was hanging in the middle of the room, covered in blood, and the appearance of knife wounds all over his body seemed to appear in front of Tian Mi's eyes. She blinked, trying to get rid of the worrying scene, and start again. Focus and ask, "Was anyone else in the room at the time?"

Lao Zheng looked at his wife uncertainly, and Xiao Lan hesitated for a moment, shaking her head: "I didn't see it, but when I saw that scene, I was almost scared out of my wits, so I quickly threw the binoculars and ran away." Open, I didn't dare to look more."

"I took a few more glances, but I didn't see anyone else there." Lao Zheng's statement was also consistent with his wife's.

"So what about the previous day or two? Have you paid attention to the situation over there?"

Both Lao Zheng and his wife shook their heads: "We don't usually pay attention to the affairs of other people's houses in the opposite building when we have nothing to do."

"The curtains of that house were covered yesterday." Lao Zheng's daughter sneaked out of the room while the adults were talking, stood at the door and secretly listened to the adults talking, seeing that her parents couldn't answer Tian Mi's question. Question, I couldn't bear it and said, "I haven't opened it all night, and I haven't opened it during the day today!"

"How did you know?" It wasn't Tian Mi who asked the question, but Old Zheng. He looked at his daughter in surprise, not knowing why the child would be so clear about the situation at Wang Chun's house.

"I'm about to take the final exam. I'm reviewing history and politics these days. I'm sitting on the window sill of my room and reciting the questions. It’s so pretty, I like to look at it when I’m free, and I always look there when I recite the questions at night. So I know that the curtains haven’t been opened from yesterday to today’s noon!” The little girl was very sure said.

"When did you notice that the curtains were opened?" Tian Mi stared at her and asked hastily.

This time, the little girl shook her head and said, "I don't know. The curtains were still hanging when I looked over after lunch. When I came back at night and looked through the binoculars, the curtains were already open. Take away the telescope and don't let me see it."

Tian Mi borrowed the toy telescope from Lao Zheng, and stood at the living room window looking towards the opposite side.

This telescope is indeed just a toy. There is no strict multiple to speak of, and the clarity is average. If you look carefully, you can still see the situation on the opposite side.It took her a while to find the exact location of the window of Wang Chun's house, because the chandelier in the living room of Wang Chun's house was on, and the light was very bright. colleague.

When the murderer was imprisoning Wang Chun and torturing her, he covered the curtains in the living room so that no one would discover the process of his violence. After killing Wang Chun, he dropped the body on the lighting lamp Next, the curtain was drawn so that the residents of the opposite building could accidentally discover the fact that Wang Chun was killed.

The time of Wang Chun's death was 18 to 24 hours before, but Lao Zheng's daughter just said that the curtains were still covered at noon today, that is to say, the murderer returned to Wang Chun's house this afternoon or evening to set up the scene. The man never left there from start to finish.

"During the daytime, if you look from your living room, can you see the indoor situation of the opposite house?" Tian Mi speculated about the reasonable possibility in her heart, and turned to ask Old Zheng.

"I can't see it." Old Zheng replied decisively, "The living room of our building faces south and faces the sun, and the sunlight is very good during the day. The living room of the building opposite is in the opposite direction. It is a dark hall, and there are not many people in the daytime With enough light, even if we look at it, they can see us more clearly from that side, and we can't see that side clearly at all."

During the day, it is a dark hall facing north, with insufficient light, and without sunlight at night, it is even more impossible to see the situation in the room, so the murderer took every effort to cover the curtains, open the curtains, and put Wang Chun's body in the room. After being placed in the center for almost a whole day, it was planned to expose it and let the outside world know.

Tian Mi thought for a while, and decided to make another routine inquiry before leaving: "How many strangers come and go in and out of your community?"

"Originally, it was okay. Later, I changed to a new property management company. The security guards were not very responsible. There was a family on the first floor of the building next to me that turned the house into a store. They were doing English tuition classes. From Monday to Sunday, every day was much better. The students in the class go back and forth to class, drop off their children, and pick up their children, outsiders can't control it." Lao Zheng looked at Tian Mi worriedly, and asked tentatively: "This time, when something happens in the opposite building, we are also worried. Hairy! I don’t know, is it seeking revenge? Or robbery?”
