Serious Crime Unit 1

Chapter 1133 Greed (26)
There was a gentle knock on Jiang Yiming's office door. As soon as he heard it, he knew it was a stranger knocking on the door. He said to the door: "Please come in!".After the door opened, he saw a familiar middle-aged man walking in. Jiang Yiming suddenly remembered that his name was Gu Qingyuan, and he was his elementary school classmate.

"Captain Jiang, judging from your reaction, it seems that you have forgotten me?" He walked towards Jiang Yiming freely, with a smile as bright as a flower on his face.

"Yes, I didn't realize it right away. Your name is Gu Qingyuan. When you were in school, you were the most naughty and mischievous classmate. Alas, 'it's easy for people to be thrown away by the light. When the cherries are red, the bananas are green.' Thirty years have passed by." But. We are all past our forties." Jiang Yiming sighed as he stood up, shook hands with him, exchanged greetings, and enthusiastically invited Gu Qingyuan to sit on the sofa.

"Yes, 'The most unbearable thing in the world is that the beauty leaves the mirror and leaves the tree.'; 'After playing chess, I don't know how people have changed, and when I'm drinking, I have no choice but to miss my family.' Thirty years is just a time when the gods laid a stone in the cave. It's just a game of chess..." He casually recited a poem by Wang Guowei and a poem by Ouyang Xiu, which showed that he was still the young man who loved classical poetry.Ouyang Xiu's poem is relatively unpopular. If he hadn't been trained by Song Wanqing, he wouldn't have known about this "Dream Composition"."Composition in a Dream" is one of Song Wanqing's favorite Song poems.

"Brother Gu, I didn't expect that you are still the handsome young man who loves poetry. It's great. You haven't changed your original intention. It seems that your life is not only about the present, but also about poetry and the distance. I really envy you. Where are you now? What?" Jiang Yiming admired him from the bottom of his heart.Gu Qingyuan has been partial to liberal arts since he was a child. His compositions were always used as models by teachers and recited in front of the whole class. However, he was not admitted to college because he was seriously partial to subjects.

"My life is only about the present, and my poems and distant places are all left in the dreams of my youth. Many years have been lost. I am now an online writer, specializing in writing suspense novels, all of which are used to cheat money. Of course , I also have a profession that is looked down upon by you - private detective." He smiled teasingly.

"It's great. Interest and career are perfectly combined. I remember you told me that you wanted to be a writer when you grow up, and now you are. No wonder you can casually recite Ouyang Xiu's unpopular poems. I'll treat you to dinner after work today , I haven’t seen each other in 30 years. If we drink one glass of wine a year, we drink at least 30 glasses.” Jiang Yiming said sincerely that because he is busy with work, he rarely treats guests and rarely accepts banquets from relatives and friends. There happens to be no case today, and Meeting an old friend in a foreign country is one of the four most beautiful things in life!

"Thank you, Captain Jiang. It's better for me to treat you. To be honest, I have something to ask you for today, so I must be the one to treat you to this meal, otherwise I'll feel uneasy."

"Oh, you, a freelance writer, sometimes ask for favors?" Jiang Yiming was a little curious, but he was still a little frightened. After all, he didn't like to plead for friends, because many officials would get lost in favors and make mistakes.

"To be precise, I am not begging for mercy for myself, but for my friends..."

"For your friend?" Jiang Yiming was instantly repelled by him. It was reasonable to plead for himself, but Jiang Yiming would not agree to plead for his friend. This was also the principle of his life.

"Hey, Captain Jiang, judging from your expression, you seem to be disgusted with me, but my friend is a dead person... How about it? You won't be disgusted anymore, right?" He looked at Jiang Yiming with a smile, as if to See through Jiang Yiming's thoughts.

"Oh, this interests me, and it is also an obligation within my professional scope. Tell me, what was the name of the deceased? Why did he die?" Jiang Yiming instantly felt good about him again.

"Actually, he is not a good friend of mine, but just a client of mine. Later, we interacted with each other more and had common topics, so we became friends. His name is Tang Cheng, he is 38 years old and he is the boss of an information company. He Yesterday morning I was driving to Binhe City and there was a car accident on the Ma'aowan section of the Changbin Expressway, resulting in a crash and death." His heart became heavy and his face became solemn.

"Do you suspect that he was murdered?" Jiang Yiming's expression also changed from relaxed to serious.

"Yes, you know, I write detective suspense novels. There are hundreds of murders in the world that can be disguised as accidental death or death from illness. Li Changyu publicly said on CCTV: About 18000 homicides occur in the United States every year. The success of solving the case The rate is 64.8%. And our criminal investigation technology lags behind the United States, and the detection rate may be even lower... Do you agree with what Li Changyu said?"

"This may be what Li Changyu said five years ago, right? Our country's science and technology are changing with each passing day. There is a generation gap between five years and now. The most powerful one is the Skynet project. 5% of the cases are solved by Skynet. I I believe that our country's crime detection rate will not be less than 5%, and the homicide detection rate will not be less than 60%. Although the United States is technologically advanced, if the police want to install monitors, they must obtain the consent of citizens. If citizens do not agree, even if the surveillance is The wall of his home cannot be captured by a camera. Therefore, it is impossible for the United States to have security monitors even in small villages in the mountains like China." Jiang Yiming disagreed with him.

"We will not discuss this issue for the time being. The main reason why I suspect that Tang Cheng committed suicide is that he once told me: If he died, no matter how he died, it must be a homicide. He told me that he must be careful after his death. Help him redress his grievance. I promised him. That’s why I shamelessly come to plead with you today. It is also an explanation to my friend, even if he has passed away. "

"Did he tell you who wanted to kill him? Why did he want to kill him?" Jiang Yiming asked curiously. Some people have done bad things and have uneasy consciences. They often have unreasonable suspicions that someone is coming to kill them, and they often even dream of being chased. But in reality This is not the case at all, but the fact that Tang Cheng is really dead shows that his suspicion is well-founded and is definitely not a psychological effect.

"No, maybe he doesn't know who it is, maybe he doesn't want to tell me... However, I suspect it might be his wife Bai Yue'er."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because Tang Cheng entrusted me to help investigate Bai Yue'er two weeks ago. He suspected that Bai Yue'er had cheated. I promised to help him investigate Bai Yue'er. It turned out that she often went to a private villa in Fangcun and stayed there. It was just a few hours, and they found her with a middle-aged man, but they were very careful and closed the curtains on all the windows in the villa so they could not take pictures of the situation inside the house."

"Who is this man? Is he the owner of the villa?" Jiang Yiming was in awe of Gu Qingyuan, because even if Tang Cheng died, he would still fulfill his promise. Such people who stick to their word are rare.

"No, I asked the locals and said that the villa belongs to a man named Wei Xiong. He is over 70 years old, and the man who met Bai Yue'er is about 50 years old. It should be that man who rented the villa to Bai Yue'er. Of course, this is just speculation and there is no evidence. I don’t know whether the tryst was a secret business meeting.”

"You must have taken a picture of that man?"

"Yes, I'll send you his photo." Gu Qingyuan took out his phone, pulled out the man's photo from the gallery, and sent it to Jiang Yiming's phone. "I originally wanted to continue the investigation, but Tang Cheng is dead. The investigation is meaningless and I can't get paid. I decided to stop here because I have to update my novel. Captain Jiang, do you think you can open a case for investigation? ?"

"We can first go to the Jiangnan District Traffic Police Brigade to take a look. If there is any doubt, of course we must open a case for investigation. Human lives are at stake, and we must not let the murderer go free and be complacent." Jiang Yiming said seriously, which reassured Gu Qingyuan.

After get off work, Jiang Yiming invited Gu Qingyuan to dinner and called other team members there as well.Wu Jiang said he wanted to go back to accompany his daughter and did not attend the dinner.Everyone rushed to toast Gu Qingyuan and kept calling him Teacher Gu.Wen Xiaorou also asked him for a signed copy of the novel.He agreed immediately.This meal made everyone happy.

The next day, Jiang Yiming and Zhou Ting went to the Jiangnan District Traffic Police Brigade to learn about the traffic accident situation in Tangcheng. Jin Nan told them what they saw in detail.

"Team Jin, there are some doubts about this traffic accident case. Why did Tang Cheng suddenly go into shock or faint?" Jiang Yiming asked with a slight frown.

"I suspect that Tang Cheng has a heart disease. His wife Bai Yue'er also said that he has a mild heart disease, but it is not serious enough to go into shock or faint." Jin Nan said. "Oh, did Bai Yue'er say that she wanted to apply for police investigation?"

"She did say it, but her attitude was not firm enough and she was just bluffing. And I found that she was not as grief-stricken about Tang Cheng's death as other family members of the deceased. Of course, maybe everyone's behavior is different. "Jin Nan touched his chin, and there was a 0.5 cm long beard growing there.

"Have you found any physical evidence from Tang Cheng?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that Tang Cheng smoked a cigarette while driving, and Bai Yue'er said that he never smokes in the car and has no craving for cigarettes. I think he may be tired and wants to refresh himself by smoking. Yes. We have found the pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket and kept it in the evidence bag. I will give it to you." Jin Nan stood up from the sofa, walked to the desk, pulled out a drawer, and took out the evidence. bag and give it to Jiang Yiming.

"This pack of cigarettes is still stained with blood. It should belong to Tang Cheng. You have done a good job and know how to protect physical evidence. We will take the cigarettes for testing to see if there are any problems. We are ready to take over the case. You can hand over the file Take it back to us for a look, and hand over Tang Cheng's body to us at the same time. Only by conducting an autopsy can we find out the cause of Tang Cheng's death." Jiang Yiming had a premonition that this might be a murder case.

"Okay. Do you want Tang Cheng's accident car to be handed over to you? If so, I'll ask the tow truck driver to tow the car to your criminal police team."

"You have already checked the car and there is nothing wrong with it, so his car should be stored with you for the time being. But it must be kept well and no unrelated persons are allowed to move to avoid destroying the physical evidence." Jiang Yiming thought: If the murderer placed something in the car If Tang Cheng inhales carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide, it will also cause shock or fainting, so he must take good care of the car.

"Okay, no problem. I'll send someone to tow the accident car to the warehouse and lock it up. No one will go in and cause damage."

Jiang Yiming shook hands with Jin Nan and said goodbye. After returning to the Criminal Police Team, he called Bai Yue'er and the call was connected: "Hello, are you Ms. Bai Yue'er? I am Jiang Yiming from the Criminal Police Team of the Municipal Bureau. We found out There is something wrong with Tang Cheng's traffic accident, and Tang Cheng's body needs to be dissected, do you have any objection?"

"Anatomy? Didn't my husband have a car accident due to shock? Why do we need to dissect the body?" she asked timidly, her voice slightly hoarse.

"We suspect he inhaled poisonous gas or took drugs he shouldn't have taken, so an autopsy must be performed."

"Okay... okay..." She seemed reluctant, but she didn't object.Jiang Yiming felt that she was conflicted and even a little worried. What was she worried about?

Luo Jin took people to the funeral home to transport Tang Cheng's body. After transporting it back, he put the body on the autopsy table to thaw.The corpse is kept in a freezer and cannot be dissected without thawing.

He and his assistant Liang Ying first cleaned the body and then shaved the head with a razor. They found that Tang Cheng's skull was severely fractured. It had been split by two centimeters and the brain tissue could be seen.Five ribs were broken on the left chest, and three ribs were broken on the right chest. The broken ribs may have punctured the lungs and heart. This will only be known after an autopsy.Many other injuries were to the skin and were not fatal.

However, the purpose of the autopsy was not to find out the cause of death, which must have been a skull fracture, but to find out whether Tang Cheng had inhaled poisonous gas or taken poison.So the most important thing is to check whether there are toxins and poisons in Tang Cheng's blood.

The next day, Tang Cheng's autopsy report came out.Luo Jin walked into Jiang Yiming's office and said to him: "Captain Jiang, the autopsy found a problem. Although no toxins were detected in Tang Cheng's body, the main components of two drugs were detected. One is an anti-arrhythmic drug. , one is a blood pressure lowering drug, these two cannot be taken at the same time, if taken at the same time, it will cause the patient to go into shock or faint."

"Will the same doctor prescribe these two medicines?" Jiang Yiming thought for a moment and asked.

"Absolutely impossible. Only charlatans and low-level doctors will prescribe these two drugs to patients at the same time. It is unlikely that all doctors above the county level will prescribe these two drugs, unless the doctor is malicious." Luo Jin He held up his glasses frame with his hands, a habit he had developed over the years, especially when thinking about or answering questions.

"So, this is probably a murder, but the murder method is very clever?"

"Yes, so to speak."

"What are the specific names of these two drugs?"

"We haven't checked this yet. For example, there are dozens of antihypertensive drugs with similar ingredients. If we want to check, it will take a lot of time. We'd better ask Bai Yuer, where Tang Cheng is treated, and then ask the attending doctor. What kind of medicine did you prescribe? Tang Cheng is a small boss, so he probably won't go to a small clinic to see a doctor. He will most likely choose a regular large hospital to see a doctor."

"Okay, we can now officially open the case for investigation. Today's criminals are becoming more and more sophisticated, and they actually use this method to kill people. The murderer should be someone close to Tang Cheng, right?"

"It's... hard to say. It's most likely that the murderer at least knew that Tang Cheng had heart disease and high blood pressure." Luo Jin thought for a while and said, Luo Jin usually doesn't like to participate in case analysis.

"Hey, how many years have you and Ye Jiayin been in love? Why haven't you gotten married yet?" Jiang Yiming suddenly noticed a wrinkle at the corner of Luo Jin's eyes, so he asked him that Luo Jin was 35 years old this year and should be thinking about life-long events.

"We have been in love for 4 years. It is said that it is 4 years. In fact, the actual time together may be less than two months. However, we have obtained the marriage certificate and her parents have approved our marriage. However, because I am too busy, Also, due to the impact of the new coronavirus, we cannot hold a banquet, so we postponed it until today... In short, we have discussed it with both parents and decided to hold a wedding ceremony during the golden holiday of October 10 this year. You and all the team members will be invited to come. "

"Great, we will definitely participate. Now only Zhou Ting and Xiaorou are single, but they are so good, it shouldn't be difficult to find a high-quality life partner." He said with a smile, and suddenly his mind The thought of not having a child after so many years of marriage passed by, and a trace of anxiety surged deep in my heart.

Jiang Yiming thought of the Kuomintang warlord Yang Sen who gave birth to a daughter at the age of 91; the gambling king Stanley Ho also gave birth to a daughter at the age of 78; and Zhang Jizhong also gave birth to a daughter at the age of 69... Thinking of this, Jiang Yiming became happy and a little anxious. Disappeared in an instant.
