deep white secret

Chapter 125 Severe craniocerebral injury
After walking out of Ma Laifu's house, Ningxia let out a sigh of relief. She wanted to go to the neighbors' houses to ask about the situation, but Ma Mingjie called.

"Ningxia, how are you doing there?"

"Just came from Malay Fu's house."

"Have you met Malay Fu's wife?"

"Well, she and Malaifu's mother are the only ones at home."

"Have you found anything?"

"The relationship between husband and wife is not normal, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not good either. Zhu Lianxiu seems to be aggrieved in this family. Other... they did not reveal any valuable clues about the murder of Malaifu."

"You first come to the entrance of the village and we will agree on a place. I have something to tell you."

Ning Xia ran to the entrance of the village quickly, Ma Mingjie rolled down the car window and waved to Ning Xia.

"What's going on? Did you find anything there?"

Ning Xia asked eagerly.

Ma Mingjie reached out to open the car door and whispered:

"Ma Laifu's autopsy report has not yet been released, and we don't know the specific cause of death. The head saw the scene last night and said that Malaifu was hit on the head."

"Well, it looks like this at the scene."

"I just visited several villagers, and also met the companion who went to the hospital with Ma Laifu yesterday to cause trouble. There is no need for this person to lie. He said that Ma Laifu has a bad temper and often domestically abuses his wife. Zhu Lianxiu is very afraid of him."

Ning Xia leaned back on the chair and suddenly realized:
"Zhu Lianxiu was very reserved in front of me, and there was something wrong with her whole person. Instead, she lied. Yesterday, Ma Laifu clearly went home after leaving the hospital, but Zhu Lianxiu lied and said she didn't know."

Ma Mingjie shook his head:

"Yesterday, Ma Laifu went home and violently assaulted Zhu Lianxiu. Then the three people who went to the hospital to cause trouble went to a restaurant in the town to drink. They didn't break up until about two o'clock in the afternoon."

Ningxia shuddered, remembering that Zhu Lianxiu was wearing long clothes and long trousers, and her right hand was always holding her left arm intentionally or unintentionally, and she felt chills all over her body.

"And when Zhu Lianxiu and Ma Laifu got married..."

Ma Mingjie used a very cryptic statement:
"Ma Laifu was forced to have a relationship with Zhu Lianxiu, but Zhu Lianxiu did not call the police. The two families were in an uproar over the incident. Later, Zhu Lianxiu's family compromised, and Zhu Lianxiu married Ma Laifu a month later."

"How is that so?"

Ma Mingjie nodded:

"That's it. Zhu Lianxiu is from Lincun. All the villagers know this. Therefore, Zhu Lianxiu has had a bad reputation in the village over the years. On the other hand, Ma Laifu is fine."

Ningxia stared, feeling extremely depressed:
"Idiot, how could this be?"

Ma Mingjie also felt that the information was difficult to digest, so he asked after a while:

"What about the medical trouble? What do you think?"

"Zhu Lianxiu never spoke. It was Ma Laifu's mother who answered the questions. Aunt Ma gave me the impression that she was unreasonable. Ma Laifu went to the hospital to make trouble. I don't know Zhu Lianxiu's attitude. The rest of the family supported it."

"Some villagers just reported to me that the Ma family's way of doing things is very bad in the village, especially Malai Fu. He is domineering and will do anything. Everyone knows that Malai Fu went to the hospital to cause trouble, and everyone said that his family did it on purpose."

"This explains the problem. The medical trouble is just nonsense. The Ma family knew the consequences, but they gave up treatment to the old lady. They just used the patient as a bargaining chip to ask the hospital for money."

The two were silent for a while, and Ning Xia said:
"Let's talk about Ma Laifu's timeline yesterday. After drinking at two o'clock, the body was found at seven o'clock in the evening. There were only a few hours in between. What happened to Ma Laifu?"

"Well, let's wait for the autopsy report from the Korean forensic doctor. When the autopsy comes out, we will have a clear direction for the investigation."

"Officer Ma, do you think Zhu Lianxiu is suspicious?"

This was the first time Ningxia discussed the case alone with Ma Mingjie after joining the criminal investigation team.
Ningxia has been following Xu Jie and is used to Xu Jie's inquiries and Ningxia's case analysis. This time, Ningxia listened to Ma Mingjie's ideas first, which felt very novel.

"Usually in these criminal cases, we first investigate the people around us. I have never seen Zhu Lianxiu. It is not easy for an adult woman to dump her body in the river in broad daylight."

"Well, I had the same thought just now. After learning about the trouble at Malay Physician, my first instinct was that Zhu Lianxiu was not a good person, but when I saw her, I overturned my inference."

"But let's not rush to conclusions. Everything is waiting for the autopsy results."

At four o'clock in the afternoon, everyone gathered in the Qing'an Municipal Bureau conference room for the first case analysis meeting.

In addition to Xu Jie, Ning Xia, Ma Mingjie, and forensic doctor Han, there were also six police officers from the Qing'an City Criminal Investigation Team at the scene.

Hosted by Team Wang.

"We don't want to talk to each other anymore. The forensic doctors are working overtime. We already have preliminary opinions on the autopsy report just now. Let's ask the Korean forensic doctor from the Jinghai City Forensic Medicine Department to explain it to us first."

Forensic doctor Han leaned forward, gestured with a smile, and then opened the autopsy report:

"Let me first talk about the cause of death of Malaifu. He suffered a heavy blow to the brain. He was repeatedly hit on the head with a hard blunt object, causing severe craniocerebral injury and death."

"Here I will explain in detail that the victim Ma Laifu suffered extensive hemorrhage in the left occipital region, scalp tissue, subarachnoid space, cerebellum and brainstem, resulting in severe closed head injury and death."

"Excluding drowning, Malaifu was dead before he fell into the lake. However, there were lacerations and contusions of varying degrees on the deceased's body, indicating that there had been a struggle between Malaifu and the murderer before he was killed."

"Based on the degree of digestion of the deceased's stomach contents and the degree of soaking of the body, the time when Malaifu was killed was between 14:15 and [-]:[-], and the time when Malaifu fell into the water was very close to the time of death."

"Based on the location of Malaifu's wounds, it is estimated that the murderer is between 1.7 and 1.8 meters tall and has great arm strength."

"The murderer repeatedly hit Malai Fu on the head, completely intending to kill Malai Fu. From this aspect, the murderer and Malai Fu had a deep hatred."

After Forensic Doctor Han finished speaking, the Forensic Doctor from Qing'an City said:

"Thanks to the Korean forensic doctor this time, we have learned a lot of technical methods. The report can be issued so quickly. The Korean forensic doctor has contributed a lot and worked hard. The Korean forensic doctor has been busy since he came here last night until before the meeting, and he only took two breaks in between. many hours."

There was applause in the conference room, and the Korean forensic doctor waved his hand:

"I know you are all waiting for me. I will leave it to Team Wang and Team Xu. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."

Team Wang took over the topic:

"This time Team Xu helped us, which made us even more powerful. We are even more nervous and eager to find out the truth. This morning, our team also gained something."

A criminal policeman said:

"The road from Xidao Lake Restaurant to Daohe Village flows from east to west, and Malaifu was found downstream in Xidao Lake."

After the policeman finished speaking, he opened the map.

"We have basically determined the trajectory of Malaifu's actions yesterday. Therefore, Malaifu should have been killed on his way home."

Ma Mingjie said:

"Yes, we met just before the meeting. Malai Fu's last stop was in the town for a drink with the doctor in the same village. After drinking, Mali Fu returned home. The place where he was killed should be along the way home."

Xu Jie walked to the map and asked Team Wang:

"Then can we deduce the place where he was killed based on the time of death and the route Ma Laifu took home? According to the memories of those who drank with Ma Laifu, they dispersed at 14:15."

Team Wang also walked to the map:

"Ma Laifu rode a motorcycle at a normal speed from the town to the village in half an hour. He should have entered the village at 14:45. If the Korean forensic doctor determines that the time of death was between two and three o'clock..."

At this point, Forensic Doctor Han interrupted them.

"Team Wang, Team Xu, if it is clear that Malaifu will disperse at 14:15, then I am confident that the time of death will be shortened to around 14:[-]."

There were sighs at the scene...
