Chapter 15 Chapter Fourteen

Hu Haiping is the president of the court. He is fifty-one years old and has a bald head. He grows his hair very long at the fringe and cuts it horizontally to cover his bald head. This is standard for many leaders.Today, though, something will spoil his hairdo. If he has had a fortune teller and the fortune teller is reliable, he should choose to rest at home on this Monday, which is the first working day of this week.But no, he went to work as usual. At 5:30 in the afternoon, it was already dark, and Hu Haiping drove his unit's Audi back to the community. He parked the car in the ground parking space under the building where he lived, then got out of the car, holding a briefcase in one hand, Walk towards the unit building as usual.

He lives in a small high-rise elevator room with a total of seventeen floors. It is a newly built high-end apartment house in recent years. The exterior facade of the house is uniformly painted in a classic and attractive earthy yellow, which looks very grand. He lives on the twelfth floor, which is a luxurious big house of more than 170 square meters. If he could walk faster today, he would have avoided a fatal disaster, but he didn't. He still walked home at his usual walking speed. He was about to go under the concrete rainshield on the first floor, and he had even picked up his briefcase to get the key to the iron door on the first floor.

At this moment, when he was only one step away from the rainshield on the first floor, there was a "bang", a boulder fell from the sky without warning, and his head exploded. He had no chance to react. Died instantly. For a moment, everything around was silent, and after about three to five seconds, other passing residents in the distance shouted at the same time and ran to this side one after another. Those calling for people calling for people, those calling for security guards for security guards, those calling for phone calls, parents hurriedly blocking their children from seeing, and some running in a hurry to get closer to see the smashed head, hands and feet still under the action of autonomic nerves Twitching and shaking, his face turned pale with fright, and he turned around and vomited.

No one noticed that among so many onlookers, someone secretly picked up two ropes. An hour later, seven or eight police cars stopped at the scene. The ambulance had already come before, but the medical staff got out of the car and looked at it. It was obvious that even the gods could not be saved. After asking the police on the scene for their opinion, they temporarily handed it over to the police and went back first. Gao Dong got out of the car with a sullen face, and Jiang Wei and Director Shao of the county bureau immediately went up to meet him. Gao Dong glanced at a large crowd of onlookers who were whispering not far away, stared dissatisfiedly and said: "Send all the onlookers away immediately, People outside the community are driven out of the community, and residents in the community let them go upstairs!"

The police from the county bureau rushed to evacuate the crowd. Gao Dong frowned and walked into the curtain of the forensic doctor with his hands behind his back. He only glanced at the half-headed body wrapped in plastic film, turned his head away, and walked quickly to the side. , shut your mouth tightly to resist the rolling in your stomach. Old Chen, the head of the forensic team of the Municipal Bureau, saw Gao Dong, hurried over, and just said, "Boss—" Gao Dong raised his hand, and quickly stopped: "Wait for me to take a breather." Forensic Chen waited at the side understandingly. He knew that Gao Dong had been involved in many murder cases and had seen many corpses, but there were very few corpses as terrifying as this one. Half of the head was smashed flat, and the hair was mingled with the flesh and blood. No wonder Even people like Gao Dong can't take a second look. When the policemen who have been in the industry for a few years just arrived tonight, they seldom vomit.Even when he was examining the corpse just now, the two forensic doctors he brought couldn't hold on, so they retreated to the side to rest. He was probably the only one who dared to look at the corpse at the scene.

After several minutes, Gao Dong said, "Okay, how is Cha?" Chen Forensic Doctor said: "The deceased is Hu Haiping, the head of the county court, who was crushed to death by a stone slab." "Being crushed to death by a stone slab?" Chen forensic doctor nodded: "According to the preliminary results of the autopsy and the descriptions of witnesses at the scene, it can be judged that he was crushed to death by stone slabs. At least a dozen people witnessed Hu Haiping's death for the first time. After Hu Haiping got off work, he walked to his residence. This is the unit building, he was just one step into the rain shield, and at this moment, a bluestone slab about 80 centimeters long and 60 centimeters wide fell from the sky and directly crushed him to death."

Forensic Chen pointed to a few pieces of broken bluestones on the plastic film. Gao Dong bent down and stared at the broken stone slabs.This is a common bluestone slab for paving roads up the mountain, and it has now been broken into seven or eight small pieces. The stones are all stained with blood and have not yet dried up.According to the visual inspection, the entire bluestone slab weighs about 60 catties. If such a heavy thing fell from the sky, even if it was hit by an iron pan, his head would be cracked, let alone Hu Haiping's head. At this time, Gao Dong noticed a row of traces of glass glue on these stones.

He asked Chen Forensic Doctor for a pair of gloves. After putting it on, he picked up one of them. After careful identification, he was sure that the glass glue had been applied and had dried up.He turned the stone over again and noticed that one side of the stone had been painted a khaki color and the other was a natural color.He picked up another piece, and did the same. He stood up, took the broken stone slab up to the lamp for a closer look, and saw that there was a crack in the middle of the stone slab.He turned the slab over and found that the crack was through, but the strange thing was that he couldn't break the slab when he pushed it hard.

"Boss, what did you find?" Gao Dong thought for a while, then shook his head: "I can't say for the time being." He raised his head and looked at the top of the house. This side is the aisle of each floor. Large glass windows are installed on the walls. Outside the glass windows are concrete rainshields. The rainshields are thick and solid, protruding out of the building for about an hour It is more than one meter wide, and some of the rainshields are placed with other people's flowers and vegetable pots. Hu Haiping was crushed to death by this bluestone slab before stepping into the rainshield on the first floor, indicating that the stone slab fell from the rainshield on a certain floor upstairs—of course, it may have been thrown down artificially .

Gao Dong stood silent for a long time, then turned to look at Forensic Chen, and asked in a low voice, "Do you think this was an accident or murder?" Forensic Chen was noncommittal: "Judging from the past situation, this should have been an accident. The possible situation I can think of is that the stone slab was standing on the outside of the weathershield and was blown off by the wind. Or someone happened to be blocking the weather at that time. When I was doing something on the rain board, I accidentally touched the slate standing on the edge, and the slab fell and hit Dean Hu below. If it was a planned murder, how could it be possible to take a slate from upstairs and smash it down? Murder? I’ve never heard of it. Besides, I estimate that this stone slab weighs at least sixty kilograms. It’s very difficult for ordinary people to lift it up. He could have hit it. If Dean Hu walked a step faster and reached under the rain-shielding slab on the first floor, the stone slab falling would at most startle him. Or if he walked a step slower, the slate would also fall in front of him. If he hadn't been crushed to death, he would definitely not be able to spare the perpetrator of this kind of thing, and he must be killed alive."

Gao Dong unexpectedly nodded readily: "You are right, it was an accident!" He deliberately said it loudly so that other policemen could hear, "Your analysis is right, it was an accident! The rest of the work is mainly Find out how the stone slab fell, this job is their job for the county bureau, our city bureau may or may not participate, um... Also, this was an accident, don't let ordinary people who don't know the truth connect the Wang Baoguo case. " Forensic Chen looked at Gao Dong strangely. Gao Dong would never conclude a case so lightly, but after thinking about it, he immediately understood. Forensic Chen has followed Gao Dong for many years and knows the priorities in handling cases.Now that Wang Baoguo's case is still unclear, if even the president of the court is murdered, Gao Dong will be responsible, and it will be a big responsibility. Therefore, the most important thing now is to quickly separate Hu Haiping's death from Wang Baoguo's case. Even if Hu Haiping was really murdered, even if the two cases could be combined, they cannot be combined now, and must be dealt with separately as an accident. Furthermore, thinking about it for himself, forensic doctor Chen, this time tonight was obviously an accident, not at all similar to the throat-slitting murder in Wang Baoguo's case.
