Criminal Investigation Notes

For more than a week, there was either heavy rain or light rain in the sky.

The rainy season came a month earlier, and the quilts, sheets, walls, and floor tiles were all wet.When I go to bed at night, I feel the bed sheet wrapped around my body, as if turning over and wringing out the water.Fortunately, after a night of rain last night, this early morning, the weather was good and the sun was rare.

In the morning at the Nancheng Police Station, as always, the first team was relatively idle during this period, but the second team was busy under the leadership of captain Tian Ming.

"Borrowed!"

As soon as Song Wen entered the office, he listened to Lao Jia walking down the corridor while shouting, carrying a few cups of soy milk and milk in his hand, apparently helping everyone with breakfast.Last week, he had a stiff relationship with a few people in the team. This week, Lao Jia was extremely courteous.

Seeing Song Wen walking over, Lao Jia sucked his stomach to make way for his boss. He tried his best to turn sideways, but the aisle was still narrow.

Song Wen glanced at Lao Jia’s increasingly plump belly: "Oh, Lao Jia, looking at your figure, I have to remind you, don’t make it to the bottom of the year-end physical fitness test. Now the city bureau has strict requirements on criminal police. Gu Ju also said that it would try out the end-of-life elimination system. This year, it is more difficult to enter people, but there are not fewer cases. If you are eliminated again, it is a non-combat attrition.

Lao Jia smiled and said: "Don't worry about the assessment. I have been assessing for many years and have experience. I will grind my guns, and I will not be upset. Besides, I have asked a beautiful woman to go to the gym after work. How can I lose weight if I am not full? ."

Zhu Xiao laughed: "You can eat more for breakfast when you go to the gym after get off work. You can accumulate energy for a long time."

"Year-end assessment? What is that?" Lu Siyu raised his head and asked. He was not familiar with these matters.

Song Wen glanced at Lu Siyu, and today he wore a pair of gold glasses.A week later, the band-aids on Lu Siyu's face were removed, and the wounds recovered quite well, and there was basically no evidence of injuries.The past few days have probably been well rested. The dark circles under my eyes from staying up late in the previous period have faded, and because today’s rain has passed and the sun has cleared, the cold air on my body has gone a bit, making my whole person look very tender and beautiful, like a The white rabbit toffee wrapped in sugar paper reveals a unique milk flavor.

Song Wen was about to explain the rules of the year-end assessment, he was rushed by Fu Linjiang: “Being a policeman also requires an exam. The New Year's assessment, mainly physical examination, physical fitness test, and psychological test, is similar to what you do when you enter the company. Take inventory of cases, calculate the rate of solving cases, and make a team summary."

Song Wen looked at Lu Siyu, remembered the previous call from Zhou Yining, and deliberately tried: "I think Dr. Zhou seems to be very concerned about you, and recently I was inquiring about your situation."

Lu Siyu let out an oh, did not say anything, did not give him any expression or reaction, lowered his head and turned on the computer.

Song Wen looked at it. It was eight o'clock and greeted everyone: "Go back to your seats, you can't keep sheep without a case, Zhu Xiao, how is your electronic entry done?"

Recently, the police station began to implement electronic supplementation of old files. Past paper-based case materials have to be compiled into electronic versions. All cases of decades need to be turned out for scanning and storage. The entire workload is not small. This week There was no case in the first team, so the task fell to them.

Zhu Xiao evasively said: "It's half done, but Lao Jia hasn't finished it."

Before Lao Jia finished eating earlier, a pot fell from the sky: "Oh, I'm cleaning up the archives. Don't you know, the old archives are moldy and moldy, and there are a lot of rats and insects bitten by them. The documents are scattered, and I have to search page by page. How can it be fast?"

Lu Siyu interrupted as he listened: "I have finished writing the report of the case here, or I will sort it out with you, so it can be faster."

Lao Jia didn't expect that he had been targeting Lu Siyu in the previous case, but when it was a critical moment, people offered a helping hand to him regardless of the predecessors, and the old gangster's old face turned red.

Having said that, Lu Siyu tilted his head, peeking out half of his delicate face from the glass and asked Song Wen: "Song Team, can you?"

Seeing Lu Siyu's attitude of soliciting opinions, Song Wen could only wave his hand: "Go, go. You guys sort it out quickly, and finish this matter sooner."

There are several archive rooms in the Nancheng City Bureau. The relevant personnel information and important documents are managed by a few young girls from the archives department, and what they have to clean up here is to store the case.These files are placed in several large cardboard boxes according to the year, each box occupies a space on the shelf.

Lu Siyu wore gold-framed glasses and stood in front of the shelf a head taller than him. He was polite, and asked Lao Jia in a gentle manner: "Senior, where do I start?"

Lao Jia was panicked by his predecessor's call, coupled with the guilt of the case in which he lost his temper at Lu Siyu, and taught him in detail how to read the number on the shelf, and then told him: "You sort out the number on the shelf. That shelf."

The file room is fairly clean, but no matter how clean it is, it can't hide the humidity in the air, and can't stop the mice and bugs that come over smelling the fragrance of paper.

In those files, the older the files, the more severe the damage.

Lu Siyu moved down a box and began to open the files inside. This step was mainly to compare these files to see if there were any missing or omissions. After preliminary sorting, they would be filed for Zhu Xiao.Due to the age, many files have been messed up, and all kinds of records are scattered and need to be regrouped.

Human beings are animals that kill each other. These boxes contain the most sinful and darkest past in this city. There may be things that the city has forgotten, and those who have experienced it have already forgotten, but these files are still remembered for them. With.

Lu Siyu asked Lao Jia: "Senior, these cases have not been solved, right?"

"Oh, don't call me senior, just call me Lao Jia like everyone else." Lao Jia heard that although the word senior was useful, he was uncomfortable. He walked over and looked at Lu Siyu holding it. The box, pointing to a red sign on it, said: "Yes, boxes with this mark are all unsolved cases. In the past few decades, Nancheng City Bureau has not solved cases, except for 519, who has set up a special case. They should be here. ."

Lu Siyu moved his eyes, looked at the box in his hand, and then at the box on the shelf, and counted, there were seven in total.

Old Jia scratched his head: "Our country's principle says that murderous crimes must be solved, but it is only a principle. Many cases have become unsolved for various reasons. Especially in the past, criminal investigation technology was not developed, even DNA could not be extracted, and it was accumulated over time. , I left these cases. Whenever the Chinese New Year comes, or when experts come down, some cases will be exposed and discussed. If there are no clues, they will be put back."

Lu Siyu gave a hum, picked up a book and opened it. It was recorded with a pen, and the handwriting was a bit sloppy, but it was generally seen that it was a vicious murder case.

Old Jia leaned over and said: "I remember that in the unsolved case, there was an axe man who killed children. By the way, there was also the Dongqiao corpse case. When I worked for five years, I encountered the whole person. It was divided into several pieces and blended into the cement for casting the East Bridge. Alas, there is the most famous case with a large number of deaths, the case of Wushan Nursing Home, the Devil Doctor Xia Weiqi, and it has not been caught yet."

Lao Jia was talking about the case. These creepy things are not stories, but real things that happened in this city.He seemed to be trying to prove that Lu Siyu's "predecessor" was not for nothing, and he casually told him about the outstanding cases.

Some of the murderers in these cases may pretend to be in the crowd and stop killing, some may have moved, some may have been arrested for other crimes, and some may simply have died. In most cases, There will be no results.

Lu Siyu has a delicate mind and a natural sensitivity to copywriting. He listened to Lao Jia's narration, and his speed was much faster than him.Two boxes were quickly sorted.

When he stood up and was about to continue, Song Wen suddenly opened the door and walked in.

"Lu Siyu, you go out with me." After Song Wen finished speaking, he explained, "It's a business trip, to Luning, with the forensic doctor. A case occurred in the village over there, and I applied for assistance from the Municipal Bureau. ."

There are seven counties under Nancheng, and there are villages below the county. Generally, there are relatively few cases in the county, and more serious cases occur occasionally. If the manpower below is not enough, they will apply for support from the city bureau. Similarly, if a major case occurs in the city, The province will also have experts and forensics assigned to assist in the investigation.

Lu Ning's case was discovered this morning. Several policemen over there arrived at the scene around nine o'clock. They felt that the matter was of great importance and hurriedly called here.

After Song Wen finished speaking, he looked at the neatly stacked stack of documents beside Lu Siyu. He flipped through the pages. Each piece of paper was carefully sorted out, and the folded corners were also flattened. The various documents he recorded were so neat, he couldn't help but praised: "Well, you did a good job, you are quite fast, these materials are enough for Zhu Xiao to scan for half a day."

Lao Jia answered, "Xiao Lu, go, I can do it alone."

Lu Siyu hummed: Then he put things out and followed Song Wen, and Song Wen smiled at him: "It's very harmonious. I'm also worried about whether you two will fight together."

Lu Siyu didn't speak, and glanced sideways at Song Wen.

When the two walked into the corridor, Song Wen asked casually: "What were you talking about just now? Did I interrupt you when I came in?"

"It's nothing, it's all past cases, I just chatted a few words when I saw it."

Song Wen looked at him: "You can ask me what case you want to hear. No one in this police station is more familiar than me. We can also discuss the unsettled cases, maybe one can be solved."

Lu Siyu raised his head, the sun just hit him, and the snow-white skin reflected light. He pushed down his glasses, and a ray of sunlight shone on his glasses, bringing out a stream of light: "Wait next time When we have time, we discuss, what is going on with Lu Ning's case now?"

Standing opposite to him, Song Wen felt that Lu Siyu's whole person was like walking out of the painting. From the bridge of the nose to the lower jaw, every curve was smooth and smooth. He settled down: "Let's kill the door. The specific situation is still unclear." The call was made directly to Gu Ju, and Song Wen also knew the general idea, but the two words "Miemen" alone are enough to know the seriousness and danger of the case.

"Then... how many days?" Lu Siyu reached out to turn off the computer.

"At least two days, depending on the progress of the case. You go faster, we drive, and we can be there before lunch, without delaying your meal."

Lu Siyu nodded, silently put the pen and paper of the record into the schoolbag, and took spare clothes from the drawer. In order to prevent sudden business trips, they kept a copy of their standing supplies in the police station.

Song Wen said: "The counties around here can't call for assistance a few times in half a year. Who told you to catch up. Generally speaking, there are a lot of passionate murders in the county, and it may not be delayed for a long time."

While speaking, Song Wen and Lu Siyu got into the police car.When the two turned their heads, they saw Lin Xiuran wearing a well-fitting suit sitting on the back seat, with his hands in front of him and his legs tilted, looking like a business elite going to the airport, not like a man. A forensic doctor who is going to the crime scene.

"Lao Lin, are you going to go out in person this time? I thought it would be the Dragon Boat Festival or Xiao Zhang." Song Wen started the car.

"There are three victims this time." Lin Xiuran said, "Even with the help of Lu Ning's forensic doctor, it would take several hours. Their hands are too raw to fit."

Song Wen: "Hey, three corpses at once, your job is much harder than us."

Lin Xiuran said indifferently: "Just like you have endless cases, these corpses are already part of my life, just like eating and sleeping." The salary of forensic doctors is not high, it is extremely hard, and even more difficult than criminal police. It is a profession that the entire society cannot lack.

As the car drove all the way forward, the scenery changed. The window on Lu Siyu's side opened a gap, and the wind blowing in blew his hair. He quietly listened to the two people talking without interrupting.

"By the way, has the case of the second team come to fruition a few days ago?" Song Wen asked again.Lin Wanwan finished the trial of the previous case. He just saw Lin Xiuran coming back from the funeral home and asked casually.

Lin Xiuran knew that the second team captain Tian Ming had always regarded Song Wen as an imaginary enemy. Song Wen also paid more attention to the second team, so he briefly introduced him: "After a period of delay, the suspect has not been identified yet. The one who was found that day was one. The female corpse was located in the wasteland behind the Lotus Hall. The corpse was a bit strange. The victim's face was covered with a silk scarf. The neck was markedly strangled and the throat bone was fractured. The cause of death was strangulation, and the murder weapon was stockings." He said this in a deep voice, and the answers were consistent, like a few treasures.

After listening to the description, Lu Siyu put his finger on his lips and bit twice. When he was thinking about focusing, his eyebrows were slightly condensed. At this moment, his long eyelashes trembled slightly and looked back at Lin Xiuran.

"It took half a day to determine the identity of the deceased. It was a female salesman named Li Ling." After that, Lin Xiuran paused, "The woman is 38 years old this year and lives in Qiaofang Street. The time of death was 11 o'clock in the evening. The second team restored her itinerary and inferred that she was killed on the way home. The final surveillance found that Li Ling got off a bus and then disappeared. There are no witnesses and no clues. This case is quite difficult."

After talking about the case, the car fell silent for a while. Song Wen drove the police car off a certain highway and turned onto the national highway. The more the car drove towards the county, the worse the road conditions became.

Luning County is a small county seat, not too far from the South City. The place they are going is at the junction of the county seat and the neighboring village. The roadside here is full of electric poles, pulled by black lines, and there are two-story buildings along the road. , Tiles are posted on the outside of the building, and the buildings are quite far apart, which looks like the old urban-rural junction.

Lin Xiuran had been here and told them about Lu Ning's situation.

Going further, the car passed an archway and entered the mountain. After walking a few kilometers on the winding road, Song Wen turned to a mountain col, saw two police cars parked in front of him, and braked the lane: Here."

Although this matter is under the control of the police station in Luning County, this is actually the township below. This area has mountains and water. It is a relatively independent small village called Mosquito Township.Because it is close to the county seat and not far from the southern city, many farmers make a living by growing tea. There are many tea gardens on the hill. Going deeper, there are all kinds of mountain products in the mountains, so here is still rich, not a remote country.

It was eleven o'clock in the morning, and Lu Siyu packed it on his back. Lin Xiuran went to the trunk and picked up his forensic investigation box. The mountain had just rained last night and it was very cool. He stepped on the ground with mud on his feet.There are trees everywhere here, it is a natural oxygen bar, and various bird calls can be heard in the forest.

The family that committed the murder was in the head of this place, sitting west to east, with a detached house, several dozen meters away from other houses.Lu Siyu looked up. It was a rare sunny day today. The sun shining lightly made him squint. There is a road in front of this place, and a few mountains behind.The nearest mountain is not too high, it is a small hill about 100 meters, and the top of the hill is level.

Looking at it this way, the building is a little magnificent. A two-meter-high wall encloses the small courtyard, and a double-leaf iron door nearly three meters wide is now hidden.

At this moment, an old policeman came out of the door and saw Lin Xiuran as if he had seen a savior and went straight to him: "Oh, Lao Lin, you are finally here!"

There was a carrion case on Luning's side three years ago. The victim's body was basically decayed when it was discovered, and the cause of death could not be detected. At that time, the city bureau sent Lin Xiuran over, and the case was settled within two days. Luning's side This is the criminal police who cooperated. At that time, the eldest brother threw Lin Xiuran to the ground and dragged him to drink. He wanted to worship his brother on the spot. Lin Xiuran sensibly refused this. Unexpectedly, Lu Ning had a case. Meet again here.

Lin Xiuran introduced them: "This is Captain Zhang Dahai Zhang from Luning Police Station. He is from this mosquito village. So he is in charge of public security here."

Song Wen introduced himself: "My name is Song Wen, the captain of the Interpol Team of Nancheng City Bureau." Then he pointed to Lu Siyu and said, "This is my partner Lu Siyu."

Lu Siyu took out the record book and greeted him cleverly: "Hello, Officer Zhang."

The sea is a bit familiar, so I brought them a high hat first: "Oh, my right eyelid kept twitching last night, and I thought something was going to happen. I answered the call to the police early this morning and brought someone to take a look. I was panicked, but fortunately, the Gu Bureau sent people, and the three are all elites from the city bureau. With you here, I have a bottom in my heart."

Song Wen calmly kicked the ball back: "We are not familiar with this place. This time I heard that the case is serious. The Bureau asked the three of us to help. If the prisoner is arrested, your cooperation is indispensable." The implication was. We are only here to help, don't count on all three of us.

"Yes, yes, the Song team is right. Don't look outside. The people from our police station just instruct them." After the Zhang Dahai finished, he pointed to the inside: "Then now... let's go and see?"

Lin Xiuran put on his gloves and asked, "I heard that three people died this time? It was an extermination case. What's the situation?"

Zhang Dahai rubbed his hands and led them to the door: "Oh, this case is strange. This family was electrocuted."

"Electric death?" Lin Xiuran paused, "Are you sure it was a murder, isn't it a leakage accident?"

These self-built houses are often not so standardized, and there are hidden dangers in safety.Electric shock accidents occur frequently in summer. The main reason is that people wear less clothes during this period, and the risk of electric shock is greater. During this period, thunderstorms occur frequently, the ground is wet, and the insulation resistance of electrical equipment decreases. It also happens to be busy farming season, and electric shock accidents happen from time to time. .

"OK." Zhang Dahai pointed to a place beside the door of the room while speaking.

Song Wen looked intently. If Zhang Dahai hadn't pointed it out to him, he would have hardly noticed that it was a pulled wire, which was tied to the top of the iron gate at this time.

Naturally, this thing could not have appeared here for no reason, it must have been deliberately pulled over.

"We have already cut off the electricity. We didn't dare to remove the wires for fear of destroying the scene." Zhang Dahai opened the door while speaking. "You can rest assured that the scene is well protected by us."

In the small courtyard of this farmhouse, the rainwater accumulated from the rain last night has not yet evaporated. There are three dead bodies lying in the courtyard, and the door in front of them slowly opens, as if opening a door to hell...
