Chapter 57 Chapter fifty-six

Early the next morning, Gao Dong brought members of the forensic team to Shao Xiaobing's home again. Before Gao Dong had ordered other police officers to continue to guard the scene at Shao Xiaobing's home, and asked Shao Cong to clean up the property at home and temporarily live with his relatives.Gao Dong might have some questions to ask Shao Cong today, so he asked him to wait at home. The last time Shao Cong talked back to Gao Dong and caused him to lose his temper, someone from the county bureau had already gone to talk to Shao Xiaobing's family, and euphemistically revealed that Gao Dong's temper was not as good as it appeared on the surface. Secretary, the relationship is by no means comparable to that of the Shao family.A few years ago, when Gao Dong was the director of the Municipal Bureau, he went back to the grassroots to handle the case. A local deputy county magistrate didn't know Gao Dong's background and didn't give him face in public. As a result, he was double-regulated in less than half a year. It is said that Gao Dong was the black hand. .When Shao Xiaobing was alive, he courted Gao Dong from time to time, and Jiang Wei obeyed him even more. Several relevant units of the county bureau did not dare to be sloppy in assigning Gao Dong's tasks. Now that Shao Xiaobing is dead, Shao Cong's last visit He also reprimanded Gao Dong. Now Gao Dong is focused on solving the case and doesn't care about it, but after solving the case, Gao Dong will come to settle accounts later. The Shao family has so many handles, isn't it easy for him?Even if there are people in the Shao family, Gao Dong is not afraid of the Shao family's connection.Moreover, Gao Dong's business level is superb, and both the provincial and municipal levels are unanimously optimistic about his future career. Many leaders who appear to be higher than Gao Dong have taken the initiative to get closer to him in the past few years. Even if Beijing holds an important position and is determined to deal with the Shao family, that would be terrible.

After being reminded by someone in his family, Shao Cong came to his senses and deeply regretted his rashness that day, so he rushed to the door early this morning to deliver cigarettes to the police guarding the downstairs of his house, hoping to speak well for himself. After Gao Dong got out of the car, a guarding policeman came up and said, "Boss, Shao Cong arrived early in the morning as you ordered." Gao Dong nodded, without saying anything, and walked straight towards the apartment building. Shao Cong, who was waiting outside the door, immediately ran forward with a flattering smile on his face: "Ju Gao, I'm sorry, I'm young, my father just passed away, and my mother disappeared again. I was in a bad mood a few days ago and made rash remarks. Please forgive me."

Gao Dong sneered, then stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "It's okay, I understand, go upstairs, maybe I have a few more questions for you later." Shao Cong burst into tears of gratitude, hurriedly followed Gao Dong upstairs, and took the initiative to switch on and off the elevator to welcome Gao Dong in and out. Open the door, everything on the scene is well preserved as last time. Gao Dong took a few glances and said to Shao Cong, "Last time I told you to see what's wrong in the house, did you see anything?" Shao Cong pointed to the sofa: "There is a cushion missing, and the sofa next to the cushion is broken. According to the criminal police, it was pierced by a dagger."

Gao Dong nodded, looked at Forensic Doctor Chen and said, "The lack of a seat cushion is a serious doubt. It seems that the problem is still on the sofa." Chen Fayi walked over, picked up the other two cushions, pointed to the place where the hole was pierced at the other end, and said, "But I can't find any other clues except that it is judged to be the hole pierced by a dagger." "Is there any problem with the filling inside if you take it apart?" "Look, the stuffing is intact. The other sofa also has a hole, but the identification result has nothing to do with the case."

"This row of sofas?" Gao Dong pointed to a row of four-seat sofas on the other side of the L-shaped sofa. This row of sofas is facing the door of the house. "There's a fingernail-sized break under there, which should have been broken in the past." Forensic Chen moved the second cushion of the four-seater sofa, and there was a thumbnail-sized black adhesive tape pasted on the inner part of the sofa.On this black leather sofa, there is a piece of black adhesive tape the size of a thumbnail, which is not easy to find for a while.At this time, the tape was half open, apparently the police had torn it open for investigation.

Gao Dong walked over, put on a pair of rubber gloves, carefully tore off the tape, put it aside, then put his fingers into the hole, and after digging for a while, he dug out a small sponge, which is the main stuffing in the sofa base. Material. Gao Dong glanced at Shao Cong and said, "Is there such a small hole in your sofa?" Shao Cong shook his head blankly: "I don't know, maybe there is, but my parents won't tell me about such trivial matters." Gao Dong thought for a while, and asked Chen Forensic: "This piece of black tape seems to be for decoration?"

"Yes, the plumbing also uses this." "You don't think it has anything to do with the case?" Forensic Chen replied hesitantly: "Well... I can't think of anything related to the case." "Is there no problem with the stuffing here?" "We dug up a few sponges and brought them back, but we didn't identify any problems." Gao Dong thought for a while and said, "Did you find any black tape in this room?" "This... I haven't found this before." Gao Dong turned his head and asked Shao Cong, "Where do you put the toolbox for decoration tools in your house?"

Shao Cong immediately ran into the utility room next to the toilet, took out a toolbox, opened it, and said, "It's all here." Gao Dong looked inside, where there were hardware tools such as hammers and pliers, and a roll of black adhesive tape beside it. Gao Dong picked up the roll of tape and looked at it. It was the same as the roll of tape on the sofa.Immediately, he picked up the fingernail-sized piece of adhesive tape pasted on the hole, compared it to the roll in his hand, looked at it for a few times, his face was terrified, and then his face returned to normal, and he sent Shao Cong to leave the room first, saying that he and the forensic doctor had returned To investigate further.

After Shao Cong left, Gao Dong said: "Old Chen, look, the piece of adhesive tape pasting the hole is exactly the same as the cutout of this roll of adhesive tape!" Chen Forensic took a few glances, nodded and said, "Yes, they match completely." Gao Dong stared into his eyes and said, "In other words, when this roll of tape was used last time, it was this small section that was torn off and pasted on the hole in the sofa." "Yes, but... this doesn't mean anything, does it?" "Don't you think it's a bit of a coincidence?" "What coincidence?"

"The problem is the sofa. Everything in this house is fine, except that the sofa is missing a cushion and has a few holes pierced by daggers. The focus of our investigation naturally falls on the lack of a cushion and a few holes. But apart from this In addition to the two, there is a hole the size of a fingernail on the sofa, which we have always considered irrelevant to the case in the past, and basically ignored its existence. There is always a leather cushion on the sofa. If there is any accidental damage, the cushion is also broken Oh, how could the part under the cushion be broken? Besides, the break was not there when the sofa was first bought. If the sofa had a break when it was bought, the owner didn’t notice it at first, but later he saw it. Shao Xiaobing posted It’s not surprising that there is an adhesive tape. But this adhesive tape was used the last time this roll of adhesive tape was used, that is to say, the breach occurred when this roll of adhesive tape was used last time.”

Gao Dong sneered and continued: "Whether the murderer did the Wang Baoguo case? I don't have any evidence, so I don't comment. But the case of Hu Haiping and Shao Xiaobing, with the deepening of the investigation in the past few days, through the method and style of the crime , I have enough confidence that the judgment comes from the same person. To create a high-quality murder case, it must involve the processing of criminal evidence. General evidence is easy to handle. For example, you can wear gloves to prevent fingerprints, and wipe the floor to prevent footprints. But some crimes Evidence, the murderer has no way to clean up, and will definitely stay at the crime scene. This is the time to test the murderer's wisdom. The best way to deal with criminal evidence is to forge new evidence, so that the police's attention is deliberately forged by the murderer Evidence attracts attention, while ignoring the evidence that should be closely related to the case. For example, in Hu Haiping’s case, the stone slab fell from the sixth floor, but the murderer applied glass glue on the fifth floor. In Shao Xiaobing’s case, the murderer chose to stay on the mountain. Make clear footprints. I don’t know if you have noticed that this opponent has a habit of easily obtaining clues that he wants us to discover in order to hide the real evidence.” Gao Dong paused, and continued: "Let's go back to this set of sofas. The first clues we got when we entered this house were that the sofa lacked a cushion and had a few holes pierced by a dagger. According to the murderer's previous crimes, Habits, the evidence we get so easily must be forged by him, and he wants us to investigate. What good does it do him? It just ignores the evidence left in his real crime. The sofa cushion is actually broken A small hole was made, and it was pasted with tape, which happened to be from the last time the tape was used. Let's make a bold assumption that this hole was left by the murderer, and he had no other way to cover up the existence of this hole. That's why we took away a sofa cushion, and deliberately pierced the sofa with a dagger, let us investigate the reason why the dagger pierced the sofa, and ignored the small hole in the other row of sofas." Gao Dong pointed to the fingernail-sized hole, and said, "Look at the edge of the hole, it was cut out by scissors. , and stick it with tape." Forensic Chen nodded slowly, still frowning, puzzled and said: "But such a hole, even if it was indeed left by the murderer, what does it have to do with the case?" Gao Dong smiled: "Yeah, what does it matter? We are now considering the issue from the murderer's standpoint. The murderer accidentally broke the sofa, and he didn't want us to notice the abnormality, so he repaired it with tape. Wouldn't it be more abnormal to leave one cushion and prick a hole under another cushion with a dagger? Assuming that the hole was broken by a dagger or other sharp objects, there is no need for him to fill the hole and then use a dagger to pierce the hole. Poke a few extra holes. The only answer is that the hole wasn't made with an ordinary murder weapon." Chen Fayi looked at Gao Dong, and after a while, he opened his mouth slowly: "Gun?" Gao Dong nodded: "Do you remember that the neighbors downstairs heard an explosion that afternoon? In the past, it was only suspected that the murderer might have a gun, but after all, shootings rarely happen in our city. They are usually just air guns used in fights. Murder cases There are very few medium-use guns. So I have not been able to make a conclusion. Now you look at this hole, if the hole was made by the murderer, then the only explanation is that the murderer fired a gun. In this way, all the doubts about this sofa are very good. It’s easy to explain. There is a hole under the seat cushion, so the bullet must have passed through the seat cushion. If the cushion is kept, we can 100% identify the shooting case, so the murderer took the shot cushion and replaced it with the one next to it. A seat cushion of the three-seater sofa. A dagger was used to make a hole in the three-seater sofa, let us focus on investigating the three-seater sofa. The gun hole was patched up with adhesive tape, so that we ignored the real problem in this row of four-seater sofas .Why was the edge around the hole trimmed with scissors? Because when the bullet is injected, it will inevitably burn the edge of the leather." Chen Fayi opened his eyes wide and said, "So, the bullet is still in the sofa?" Gao Dong was noncommittal: "Not necessarily. The bullet passed through the cushion and then penetrated into the sofa. The force is limited. It should not hit the bottom. It may just be trapped in the sponge. The murderer dug away the sponge and the bullet." Forensic Chen discussed it with Gao Dong, and then went to say hello to Shao Cong outside the door. He wanted to cut the sofa, and Shao Cong naturally agreed. Soon, Forensic Chen cut the sofa and searched carefully, but found no bullets. Gao Dong said indifferently: "It's normal. We can't tell if the sponge on the sofa base is missing a few pieces. Since the bullet was not found, it must have been taken away by the murderer." Forensic Chen thought for a while, then frowned and said: "Boss, this explanation can indeed explain all the doubts in the house, but there is still a doubt. The neighbors only heard one explosion, which means that only one shot was fired. The gun was fired into the sofa again, but both Shao Xiaobing and his wife were subdued by the murderer, isn't this difficult to do?" Gao Dong nodded: "Shao Xiaobing came home at night. At that time, he only heard the sound of plates being overturned, but no more explosions, so he probably never fired a gun. As for Shao Xiaobing's wife, she was at home that afternoon, and the murderer opened fire. One shot, since the murderer dared to shoot, if the first shot missed, anyone who was the murderer would continue to fire the second shot to prevent the plan from failing. But there was only one shot at the scene, indicating that the shot Hit. There is a way to prove this, after a shot is shot, there will always be blood. Hmm... The tiles in this house seem to have a very dense surface, if the murderer wipes off the blood, can you still detect it?" "If you wipe it very clean, you may not be able to test it well. After all, the luminous reaction of the blood test depends on the naked eye to judge, and the intensity of the luminescence depends entirely on the blood residue in the substance. However, I have tested the main places in my house. No obvious traces of blood were found." "Really, what places have you inspected?" "Some common possible points and corners in the living room, bedroom, and bathroom." Gao Dong stood on the spot, repeatedly looking at the position of the sofa. The sofa was facing the door. He thought for a while and said, "Where is the door?" "I also checked the shoe cabinet. No, I didn't check the back of the door. Normally, blood from fighting won't get behind the door." Gao Dong nodded, and said, "Let's check it out. You can bring someone to check the distance from the door to the sofa. I'll go back first and wait for you at the unit." A few hours later, Forensic Doctor Chen returned to the county bureau, came to Gao Dong's office, and said, "Boss, it was really detected behind the door, but the color reaction was very weak, and it was obviously wiped by the murderer many times. It is difficult to judge how much blood has flowed there, but it is estimated that the area will not be very large." Gao Dong sighed, and said, "There is blood behind the door, and the bullet ended up in the sofa. Hmph, I never dreamed that someone would dare to shoot Shao Xiaobing's wife directly at the door of his house." Chen Forensic Doctor was puzzled and said: "Shoot at the door, and finally hit the sofa, and if according to what you said, this shot was a hit, how could the power of this shot be so powerful, it shot through the human body, and after continuing to advance seven or eight meters, still Can you shoot through a sofa cushion?" Gao Dong sneered and looked at him: "You mean guns aren't that powerful?" "right." Gao Dong shook his head: "Of course the imitation gun is not so powerful, but have you ever thought about it, what if it is a real gun?" Forensic Chen opened his mouth: "There are very few real guns among the people, and there are not many models of this power." Gao Dong said: "Yes, this is our breakthrough! The most powerful model in China is the May 4th type. Hu Haiping and Shao Xiaobing are both top leaders. What if someone in our system did it?" Forensic Chen was shocked. Gao Dong said: "The hole in the sofa is obviously not planned by the murderer before. If it was planned by him, he would have prepared his own tape instead of using the tape at Shao Xiaobing's house. The fault lies in his negligence. At one point, he cut off the adhesive tape directly without tearing off the gap in the remaining roll, which made me see the suspicious point of the hole, and then realized that the hole was pasted on the adhesive tape when it was used for the first time. It makes me feel that this is too much of a coincidence. The murderer has a hundred secrets. Although it is a trivial detail, it is enough for us to catch him. Next, let's find out the police equipment storage situation in the county as quickly as possible. The key point It is the number of bullets, which must be confirmed one by one, and no one can become a special case and not check."
