Serious Crime Unit 1

Chapter 1028 Tire blowout (2)
"Your daughter is fine. We have rescued her. Look, she is lying on the bed next to you." The nurse pointed to the bed next door.

Ye Qingxiang turned her head and saw Zhou Xiaoxiao sleeping soundly there, with tears hanging from the corners of her eyes. She might have just cried. She pushed herself up and wanted to get up and help Zhou Xiaoxiao wipe away her tears, but a sharp pain hit her. Come, she asked the nurse: "Why does my body hurt so much?"

"Oh, you have two broken left ribs. We have fixed the ribs with hook and loop tape. You can't move around, otherwise the ribs will shift. If it causes secondary trauma, it will be difficult for you to recover." The nurse's voice was soft and sweet, pleasant.

"Where is my husband?" she asked anxiously looking at the nurse.

"He...he has been sent to the funeral parlor for preservation..." The nurse did not dare to look at her.

"My husband is dead?" She was extremely surprised. A huge wave of sadness came to her like a wave, swallowing her up instantly, "No! No! No! It's impossible, my husband will not die..." She He burst into tears.

"Sister Ye, there is no resurrection after death. Please show your condolences and accept the change. Life is like a dream and things are impermanent. You have to be stronger. You still have a lovely daughter who needs your care..." At this time, she noticed that Ye Qingxiang's eyes were staring blankly. She stared at the ceiling and didn't listen to her words. She knew how weak her words were, so she stopped.

At this time, two traffic policemen walked into the ward and sat down in front of Ye Qingxiang's bed. One of them was Pei Kan. He said to her: "Hello, I am Pei Kan from the traffic police team, and this is my assistant Wen Kan." Cheng, are you Zhou Yang’s wife Ye Qingxiang?”

"Yes, what are you doing here?" she asked weakly.

"Come to give you the traffic certificate and death certificate." He handed the traffic certificate and death certificate to Ye Qingxiang.

She took it and put it aside without looking at it, and said to Pei Kan, "Do you think my husband's death was an accidental traffic accident?"

"Yes, after we carefully inspected the accident scene and reviewed the traffic surveillance video at the time of the accident, it was proven that Zhou Yang died in the traffic accident because he was driving too fast, causing the front right tire to burst." He saw her crying. There was resentment in the whirling eyes.

"It is absolutely impossible for my husband to die because of a traffic accident. He was murdered. I cannot accept your declaration." Her voice was a little louder, she reached for the paper box on the bedside table and pulled out two pieces of paper to wipe it. She shed tears, and with the support of her hands, her half-lying body sat up, and then leaned on the pillow.

"I know you are sad and can't accept it for a while. This is understandable. However, please respect the facts. If you don't believe it, you can find a way to ask other agencies to investigate the scene." He tried to make his voice softer, so as not to To irritate her and increase her sadness.

"My husband told me half a month ago that if he died, no matter what the reason, even if it was suicide, it would be an illusion and he must have been murdered." Her eyes showed anger. .

"Oh, is this happening? Did he tell you who would murder him?" Pei Kan was slightly startled.

"He didn't say who specifically, but he said this to me twice. I pressed him to ask him who had a grudge against him, but he said he didn't know, but his sixth sense told him that it was very dangerous now."

"Let's see. You recover first. I'll go to the city bureau to talk to the criminal police captain Jiang Yiming and see what he has to say."

"Thank you so much. Then I will give you full authority. I must see the face of the murderer!" She gritted her teeth and said sincerely thanking Pei Kan.

Pei Kan came to Jiang Yiming's office. After Jiang Yiming saw him, he shook hands with him enthusiastically and invited him to sit down and drink tea. Jiang Yiming knew that he must have something to see him.

"Captain Pei, we haven't seen each other for almost a year, right?" Jiang Yiming looked at him and said. Pei Kan is not tall, about 170 centimeters tall, and has a strong body. Although he is in his early 50s, he looks younger than his actual age. many.

"Yes, time flies so fast. One year has passed in the blink of an eye. If I work for a few more years, I will have to retire. I really can't bear to leave this position. Have you been busy recently?" He picked up the small teacup on the tea tray. , took a sip of tea.

"We have just solved a murder case. We have no cases at the moment, so it is rare for us to have some free time. Otherwise, we may not have time to drink tea with you." Jiang Yiming picked up the Chinese cigarettes on the coffee table, took out two of them, and handed them to Pei Kan. Then light the fire for him and light the fire himself to smoke.

"I might have to make you busy again, I really can't bear it."

"Oh, did you discover a suspicious traffic accident?"

"Judging from the investigation results, there is nothing suspicious. However, in this car accident, the driver Zhou Yang died, while his wife and daughter were sitting in the back seat and survived by luck. Zhou Yang's wife's name was Ye Qingxiang. We When I sent her the traffic accident certificate, I stopped by the hospital to see her, but she said that Zhou Yang was murdered, and asked me to come to you, hoping that you can investigate..."

"Why did she say that? What evidence is there to prove that Zhou Yang was murdered?"

"It is precisely because there is no evidence that I ask you to come forward to investigate. This is what she said: Zhou Yang told Ye Qingxiang half a month ago that if he died, no matter how he died, even if it was suicide, it would be an illusion. He must have been murdered." "Is Ye Qingxiang's mental state normal?"

"Of course it's normal. The car accident caused two broken ribs and a slight concussion. She fainted at the time. She was later rescued by doctors and is now lying in Jiangbei District Hospital."

“What are the main causes of car accidents?”

"The right front wheel of the BMW had a puncture. The steering wheel deviated, the car broke through the guardrail and hit the rocky mountain."

"This should be a normal traffic accident."

"Yes, that's what it looks like on the surface. But what Zhou Yang said half a month ago has to arouse doubts. Our traffic police team does not have criminal investigation capabilities. Can you bring people to the scene to re-investigate, or conduct inspections on the BMW? Investigation, haven’t you ever solved murder cases that looked like accidental car accidents before?”

"Yes, we have solved two car accident murder cases. Once, the car's microcomputer system was hacked, causing the car to 'slide' and kill someone; the second time, hackers also hacked into the car's computer system, causing the car to stop on the tracks, causing the car owner to Hit by a train."

"Therefore, Zhou Yang's car may also have been hacked, causing his right front tire to burst."

"In that case, I accept your suggestion. Lend us the on-site investigation records and make plans after we read them."

"Okay, thank you!" Pei Kan stood up and shook hands with Jiang Yiming to say goodbye.

Two hours later, Pei Kan handed over the accident scene investigation records and other information to Jiang Yiming.Jiang Yiming started reading. There was not much information, and the survey records were relatively simple and clear. He read it quickly, but found no problems.

He called Lu Yingying and Zhou Ting, explained the situation to them, and then went to the Jiangbei District Expressway Traffic Police Brigade to investigate the accident vehicle.

After arriving at the traffic police brigade, Lu Yingying used her laptop to test the BMW's computer system and found no traces of hacking. Under normal circumstances, if hackers invaded the BMW's computer system, they would leave traces.

"Captain Jiang, the computer system of the BMW has not been tampered with. Maybe Ye Qingxiang is suspicious."

"Well, let's check the tires to see if anyone has driven nails into the tires. If the tires are half-pierced by nails, or deeper, then when the car is turning, the pressure on the tires will increase, causing nails to stick. Is it more likely that the tire will be damaged, causing a puncture?" Jiang Yiming asked Lu Yingying.

"I don't have a deep research on cars. If this is the case, we need to do experiments to know. I think if the tire is punctured by iron nails, it should slowly leak air, right? How could a tire blow out?" Lu Yingying looked at it Zhou Ting asked, because Zhou Ting always drives his own car to work, so he is more knowledgeable.

"In this case, the possibility of a tire blowout is relatively small, unless it is under the influence of extremely high temperatures. The temperature on the day of the accident was not too high, so the chance of a tire blowout is reduced. If it is If the right front wheel was punctured by a nail, the nail must still be on the tire. I will check and find out." Zhou Ting said as he walked to the right front of the BMW to check the exploded tire.

Zhou Ting used a jack to jack up the right front wheel and took out a magnifying glass to check carefully. After half an hour of checking, he found nothing. He simply removed the tire and prepared to take it back to the team to detect the tire with a metal detector.

Jiang Yiming squatted next to the rear tire of the BMW and carefully inspected the tire. After watching for a while, he stretched out his hand to unscrew the valve cap. As a "magnetic" sound sounded, a stream of gas spurted out. Jiang Yiming heard A touch of sweetness arrived.

"Hey, why does this gas have a sweet smell? Come here and smell it. What does it smell like?" Jiang Yiming called Zhou Ting and Lu Yingying.

The two of them walked over, opened their nostrils, and sniffed the gas that was continuously emitted, and indeed smelled a faint sweetness.

"No, go away quickly. This is the smell of chloroform." Lu Yingying pulled Jiang Yiming and Zhou Ting away from the tire.

"Chloroform? How could there be chloroform in the tires? Didn't Xiao Ke faint at the scene of the crime because of inhaling chloroform and almost died?" Jiang Yiming asked.

"Yes, so I am very sensitive to chloroform... Captain Jiang, this is a clever murder case. The murderer deflated the tires of the BMW and then filled the tires with chloroform, because chloroform will destroy the ductility of the tires. Sooner or later, the air inside will cause a puncture."
