Serious Crime Unit 1

Chapter 212 Death Mentor (4)
"Yes."

Wu Jiang felt that he wanted to prove whether Ma Qiang was lying, so he went to Wu Xiaowan's house and took the two cans of Dahongpao tea for identification to see if Ma Qiang's fingerprints were on them.

"How long did you stay at her house?" The video showed that Ma Qiang stayed at Wu Xiaowan's house for nearly an hour.

"About 50 minutes."

"How can you be so sure?"

"I looked at my watch when I went down, and it was 22:10. Later, Wu Xiaowan looked at my watch twice. I thought she was giving an eviction order, so I also looked at my watch. It was exactly 23:00, and I left."

"What did you do? What did you say?"

"We were sitting on the sofa, and she was making tea while chatting with me word by word. They were all talking about trivial matters in the hospital, such as which patient died at such a young age, which colleague liked to criticize others, and what exactly they said, I Can not remember."

"Did you enter Wu Xiaowan's living room without changing your slippers?"

"Yes, I asked her if it was okay to not take off my shoes if I had athlete's foot? She said no problem."

"What shoes did you wear in there?"

"Just the leather shoes I'm wearing now."

Wu Jiang asked him to take off his shoes and extracted his shoe prints.Wu Jiang visually inspected the shoe prints and felt that they were consistent with the shoe prints extracted at the scene.

Wu Jiang and Zhou Ting returned to the scene and found two jars of Dahongpao in Wu Xiaowan's coffee table drawer, from which they extracted two fresh fingerprints. After comparison, one was Ma Qiang's; the other was Wu Xiaowan's, thus confirming Ma Qiang's No lies.

In other words: Wu Xiaowan died after 10:21 on October 23. Because the death time was too long, it was impossible to determine the exact time of Wu Xiaowan's death, which made the investigation of this death difficult.

Wu Jiang reported the preliminary investigation results to Jiang Yiming and asked: "Team Jiang, the current evidence proves that Ma Qiang is not suspected. Could Wu Xiaowan's death really be an accident?"

"It is not yet certain that Wu Xiaowan's death was accidental because we have not yet found the owner of the female shoe print."

"I think so too. However, in order to rule out the suspicion of Wu Xiaowan's murder, Zhou Ting and I reviewed the video footage from the morning to late night of October 10, and through interviews and verification, we ruled out the possibility of a second person entering the scene that day. . It’s impossible for the mysterious woman to hide in Wu Xiaowan’s house on the 21th and murder Wu Xiaowan until late the next night, right?”

"This is impossible. We only found the mysterious woman's shoe prints in the living room, which means she has not been to the bedroom or living room. However, we must find this woman because she may have entered the scene through other channels, such as Enter through climbing and secret passages. As long as this woman enters the scene, she may be pretending to be a ghost and frightening Wu Xiaowan to death."

"Climbing is impossible. Which woman who wants to climb would wear high heels? It's impossible to make a secret tunnel. Zhou Ting and I also had this idea, so we entered the site for the third time, checked all the cabinets that could block the walls, and used hammers to Beat all the walls, floors, and ceilings, there are no secret passages at all.”

"Oh, you two did a great job. But how come the women's shoe prints were left at the scene?"

"I don't understand this either. It's impossible for the mysterious woman to know the magic of walking through walls. Could it be that Luo Jin got Wu Xiaowan's death time wrong?"

"This is impossible. Luo Jin is a senior forensic physician and has been engaged in forensic work for more than 8 years. How could he make such a low-level mistake?" The time of death of a person is based on the body spots, rigor mortis, the size of the maggots on the body, and the contents of the stomach. The judgment made by comprehensively considering various factors such as the degree of digestion of the food is very scientific and accurate. The probability of error is one in ten thousand. Of course, unless the murderer deliberately interferes, the judgment will be misjudged.

"Could it be the shoe print left by a woman who visited Wu Xiaowan a few days before her death?"

"No, one of the woman's shoe prints covers Ma Qiang's shoe prints. The coverage is only one-tenth. It cannot be seen without careful inspection."

"So, that means that after Ma Qiang left, a woman must have entered the scene?"

"Yes, but what's strange is that no short woman entered in the video, and no such woman visited the residents of Unit 1."

"I suggest you check the footage from the early morning to late night of October 10."

"Okay." Wu Jiang said.

Wu Jiang and Zhou Ting went to the monitoring room of Chaoyang Community again, called up the video of the 22nd, and saw a short woman entering Unit 08 at 05:1 in the morning. She opened the door on the first floor with a key. After 10 minutes After that, she came out and left in a hurry with a panicked expression.

Xiao Du said that she was not a resident of Unit 1 and should be visiting the head of the household.Because it was daytime, her image was very clear.Wu Jiang printed out her image and began to visit all the residents in Unit 1. They all said they had never seen this woman.

Then, she must have gone to Wu Xiaowan's house.who is she?Why go to Wu Xiaowan's house?Could it be that Wu Xiaowan was scared to death by this woman?But... no, Wu Xiaowan died between late night on the 21st and 22:3 in the morning on the 30nd. How could he be scared to death by her?
The woman is about 30 years old, about 1.50 meters tall, fat and about 55 kilograms. She is carrying a satchel and wearing high heels.Wu Jiang judged that she should be the owner of the shoe prints.She must be found to solve the mystery.

There is no problem in finding her, it just takes a long time. Is there any shortcut to find her quickly?Wu Jiang thought of the traffic monitor at the intersection.

They returned to the team and asked Lu Yingying to go to the traffic control center to search. Because they had the accurate time, they quickly found out that she came to Chaoyang Community in a Jiangshan Taxi Company car.Wu Jiang and Zhou Ting rushed to Jiangshan Taxi Company and found the manager. The manager took them to the service desk and asked the radio announcer to help them find the driver who had taken passengers to Chaoyang Community at 10:22 on October 08. Soon they were There was a response.

A driver named Fang Cai said that he had driven passengers to Chaoyang Community at that time, and Fang Cai was rushing back to the company.After a while, Fang Cai returned to the company.Wu Jiang handed him the woman's photo and asked him if he was driving this person to Chaoyang Community. He said yes.

Wu Jiang asked him where the woman got on the bus from?He said he picked her up at the gate of Shengdi Community.

They came to the Dishengdi Community and asked the property manager to help find someone.The manager said her name was Hong Xiaoshi and she lived in Room 19, Building A, Building 102.The manager took them to Hong Xiaoshi's door and knocked on the door. The door opened and it was the person they were looking for.

Wu Jiang said: "We are from the criminal police team of the city bureau. Are you Hong Xiaoshi?"

"Yeah." Hong Xiaoshi was a little panicked.

"Can we come inside and talk?"

"Please come in." She turned around and walked to the sofa, asking them to sit down and talk.

Wu Jiang took a closer look at her: she was short and fat, plain-looking, with many freckles on her face. She looked like a common woman who had been suppressed by life for many years. It seemed that her life was not good.

"Why did you go to Wu Xiaowan's house at 10:22 on October 08nd?"

"Which Wu Xiaowan? I don't know you." She said it crisply, as if she had already thought about it.

"Stop kidding yourself and tell the truth. You are legally responsible for lying to the police."

"I really don't know who Wu Xiaowan is!"

“好吧，我换一种说法，10月22日上午08：00你去朝阳小区1单元干吗？”

"I...I...didn't go..." She lowered her head and said intermittently.

Seeing that she refused to admit it, Wu Jiang said to Zhou Ting: "Play the video to her."

Zhou Ting took out his iPhone 6, opened the player, and clicked play. The image of Hong Xiaoshi entering and exiting Unit 1 appeared on the screen...

"There is video evidence, but you still don't admit it?"

"That's...yes, I went to that woman's house...but, I didn't kill anyone...really, I didn't kill anyone!"

"Why did you go to Wu Xiaowan's house? How did you get in?"

"I...I suspect that my husband is having an affair with her..."

"Who is your husband?"

"It's Ma Qiang."

"Ma Qiang?" Wu Jiang felt something was wrong.Because Ma Qiang is a handsome guy with a good temperament, which doesn't match her.

"Yes, I suspected that my husband was having an affair with her, so I followed him. On the night of the 21st, I saw him take out the key and open the door of unit 1, then climb to the 7th floor, open room 702, and then walk in. I took Using a simple telescope, I came to the rooftop opposite room 702 and saw my husband chatting and laughing intimately with a woman. My husband handed her a bag of things. I was furious, but I didn’t dare to be angry. As soon as I opened the The secret would lead to divorce, and I was not willing to accept it. I watched it for about half an hour and couldn’t stand it any longer, so I went home early. After my husband was asleep, I stole the keys from his bag and waited for him the next day. When I went to work, I opened room 702 with the key and prepared to have a showdown with the woman, but I saw her dead in the bathtub." She was shaking slightly.

"How did you know she was dead? Did you go near her?"

"No, her bathroom door was ajar. I saw her lying motionless in the bathtub at the door. Her face was pale and her eyes were rolled up. She looked like a dead person. I called out a few times, but she didn't answer me. I just I knew she was dead, so I ran away."

"Why didn't you call the police?"

"I was afraid that my husband had killed her. I didn't want my husband to go to jail, so I didn't call the police."

Wu Jiang thought what she said was reasonable, but he didn't expect this result. Then, the process of the case became clearer.The suspicions of Ma Qiang and Hong Xiaoshi can basically be ruled out. Wu Xiaowan's death was most likely an accident or suicide.

Although the investigation found no trace of homicide, Jiang Yiming understood that with the continuous advancement of technology, criminals' modus operandi has also been continuously upgraded. Criminals with high criminal IQs can often create murders that look like accidents and suicides.
