Chapter 52 3. Corpse message

I went to the archives office in the morning, but Xiao Hu was not there. I thought he might have gone to Team Wang to beg. When I went back to the office, Team Wang was sorting out the information, and forensic doctors Lao Mu and Xiao Pan were reporting to him the results of the examination on the corpse. Lao Mu said: "The deceased Lu Yang, male, 40 years old, suffered a severe blow to the head and died of excessive blood loss. The deceased Lu Fei, male, 10 years old, was the son of Lu Yang and his ex-wife. Lu Fei had abdominal pain. Puncture wound, the cause of death was punctured internal organs and excessive blood loss. Judging from the autopsy results, Lu Fei died earlier than Lu Yang."

"Can't make a mistake?" Lao Cheng asked, "Lu Fei is Lu Yang's son, and he died earlier than Lu Yang. His body is not far from Lu Yang's body. Could it be that Lu Fei is looking at his own body?" son died?" Team Wang said, "Go ahead, Lao Cheng, don't interrupt." Old Mu replied: "The internal organs of the deceased were pierced. There should be a lot of blood at the scene of such a serious injury, but there is only a small pool of blood under Lu Fei. The bathroom is not the first scene, but other places in the house Rufei's blood was not found. Rufei should have been killed elsewhere, and then the body was transferred to the scene. Another person's footprints were found at the scene. Judging from the style of the soles, he should be a middle-aged man with a height of About 1.75 meters."

Xiao Pan said: "The deceased Xu Jingjing, female, was 27 years old. She had bruises on her neck and edema in her ligaments. She was suspected to have been strangled to death by the murderer. The deceased's body was exposed and her genitals were damaged. She was suspected of being sexually abused before her death. But no semen was found, the killer may have worn a condom." I remember that Xu Jingjing was a beautiful and gentle woman before she was alive. I believe everyone has the same opinion. When the cause of her death was announced, someone sighed.The office fell silent. Xiao Pan suddenly looked at Lao Mu with a tigerish face: "Why are you sighing?"

Old Mu murmured, "I just think that beauty is unlucky." "Hmph, you're not interested in this woman, are you?" Xiao Pan rolled his eyes at him. Lao Mu argued: "Oh, what can I do if she is dead." Xiao Pan pouted and said, "If she's alive, don't you want to be interested in her..." The captain patted the table: "You two, please go back to the forensics department if you want to flirt. This is our territory, and we are going to start analyzing the case." The two left knowingly, and kept arguing when they went out. They passed me by and greeted each other. Lao Mu asked me: "Xiao Liu, is Xiao Hu still working on this case? He visited us in the morning and copied all the conclusions drawn after the autopsy. gone."

"Oh... I don't know about that, I've been helping in the archives recently." After Lao Mu and the others left, I ran all the way back to the file room, my God, Xiao Hu was not there, his uniform and hat were taken away, this kid must have gone to investigate the case by himself! I must get this kid back!The captain has repeatedly asked not to act without authorization, otherwise there will be a danger of being punished.The team has only one sanction for unauthorized actions—firing. Xiao Hu has just joined the team, so he doesn't know the captain's temper, the captain has always been tolerant of sand.The bureau just held a meeting a while ago, saying that it would "severely crack down on individual heroism that disobeys orders." Xiao Hu's can't be called personal heroism, it should be called personal revanchism.

There was no mobile phone at that time, so I couldn't get Xiao Hu back with a single call, so I could only guess where he might have gone. The captain suddenly opened the door and came in, which shocked me. The captain said kindly, "I came here to see you. It's not easy to sort out the files. Thank you for your hard work." I said, "Serving the bureau is what you should do." "Hey? Why isn't Xiao Hu here?" The captain looked around in the room. "Probably went to the toilet! This kid hasn't eaten at the normal time these two days, and his three meals are not stable. There must be something wrong with his stomach." I made nonsense.

"Oh, watch him, Comrade Xiao Hu has nothing wrong with him, but his temper is too quick. It's best to practice before going on the field. I'll go first, the old man is still waiting for me." The captain left after speaking. I breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still no way to find out Xiao Hu's whereabouts. I suddenly remembered that this kid wrote something on the table yesterday when he had nothing to do, so I hurried to his desk to read what he wrote. I was really taken aback when I saw this. There were a lot of papers spread out on Xiao Hu's desk, each of which contained Xu Jingjing's personal connections during her lifetime, from middle school to college.Classmates, friends, teachers... Each name is followed by year, occupation, and relatives. Some lines intersect with each other, and some radiate in parallel, like an intricate relationship tree.The relationship between Xiao Hu and her is really not just that simple as classmates, even she knows how many boyfriends she had during her lifetime.

Xiao Hu's own name is also on it. This line does not intersect with other lines, and it is far away from the name "Xu Jingjing", hanging alone in a corner of the paper. Has Xiao Hu ever looked at the beauty's face from such a distance? Looking back, feeling excited? The last "branch" extended from "Xu Jingjing" leads to "Luyang", but there is a branch before that, which intersects with the name "Zhang Lie". Under the name "Zhang Lie", there are detailed descriptions: a teacher of a certain academy of fine arts, who had a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship with Xu Jingjing from 19XX to 19XX, and died in a car accident.There are elder brother Zhang Zong and younger brother Zhang Hou. Zhang Zong is the owner of a certain company with a wealthy family; Zhang Hou is a jobless vagrant.

After the name "Zhang Hou", some small characters were written: There was a quarrel with Lu Yang.I suddenly remembered what happened when Zhang Hou made a fuss on Xu Jingjing's wedding day. Could it be that Xiao Hu went to investigate Zhang Hou? Judging from the current situation, Zhang Hou should be the biggest suspect, but Xiao Hu could think of this, how could Team Wang not think of it.If Xiao Hu met Dui Wang during the investigation... I didn't dare to think about it any more. I ran to the courtyard, Dui Wang and the others had already driven the police car away. I found a motorcycle, started it, and went straight to Zhang's company.

Team Wang and the others arrived one step ahead of me, and the police car had already parked at the gate of the company.In order not to be noticed by them, I parked the motorcycle in an inconspicuous place facing the street.Then I came to a place 100 meters away from the company and looked around from a distance. Wang Dui and the others came out of that company, and the Zhang family brothers sent them out. Judging from the faces of the two of them, they seemed to be quite unhappy. They couldn't suppress it, it could only be because Team Wang and the others asked tricky questions. Team Wang got into the car and left.The Zhang family brothers turned around to go back to the company, when a person came out from a nearby shop and stopped them.This person is Xiao Hu.I said in my heart that it was going to be bad, so hurry over.

Zhang Hou asked Xiao Hu impatiently: "Didn't you ask me just now, why don't you let us go?" Xiao Hu said in a deep voice: "There are a few questions that I haven't clarified, so I still have to ask you." Zhang Hou seemed to get angry: "Do you just think we are like murderers! Let me tell you, although I hate Lu Yang, I don't hate Lu Yang so much that I want to kill them! Do you want the police to find a scapegoat? ?” He shouted loudly. This is a commercial area, and there are many pedestrians passing by. People stopped to watch the dispute. Zhang Zong is a businessman, and he handles things more prudently than his younger brother. At this time, he doesn't want to make a big deal, and he doesn't want to offend the police.He first dragged his younger brother back to the door, and then asked Xiao Hu: "Comrade, I heard that you were also Xu Jingjing's friend before, and you must want to avenge her early. I understand this very well. Are you also from the criminal police team? I'll let you know later." Call Captain Wang to see if he asked you to come, if so, you can ask any questions, if not... It is said that there is a statement in the internal regulations of the public security that you are not allowed to act without authorization, right?" Xiao Hu hesitated. After all, he is a newcomer, and he is much more tender to deal with an old Jianghu like Zhang Zong. "Boss Zhang!" I pushed past the crowd and walked over, Zhang Zong was taken aback.He has never encountered a situation where he received the police three times in such a short period of time. He said, "Comrade Xiao Liu, why come to me when you have time?" With a smile on my face, I said, "Aren't you a Volkswagen store? I want to change a car for myself. I'd like to hear your suggestion. Do you have time?" It is really difficult for an ordinary working-class person like me who has just started working to buy a car. At that time, buying a car was much more difficult than buying a house.When I say this, I just want to calm things down, and moreover, I want to disperse the crowd of onlookers. "Hey, you are really saving face, please invite me inside!" Of course Zhang Zong is a sensible person, he can still see my thoughts.This time the oboe performance went smoothly, and the onlookers dispersed one after another when they saw that there was no excitement to watch. The Zhang family brothers took us into the company, and Zhang Zong ordered the secretary to bring tea.We sat down in his office, Zhang Zong closed the door. "Of course Comrade Xiao Liu is not here to buy a car." Zhang Zong smiled. I said: "Of course not. Team Wang came here to take notes just now, but some points in the notes are not very detailed and need to be supplemented. These are all for the purpose of solving the case as soon as possible. I hope you will cooperate. If it has nothing to do with this case, we should get rid of the relationship as soon as possible." It’s also something everyone is happy about.” "Speaking skills" is also a skill that criminal police need to master.This technique is as important as observation and reasoning.Not only in China, but also in the West. The most important thing in Western detective work is to hear the clues of things when talking with the other party, otherwise you will lose your qualifications as a detective. The Wang team once provided me with some must-read books for detectives' "speech skills" developed by Scotland Yard in the early years, from which the following points can be summarized: 1. In order to gain the trust of the other party, talk to the other party politely. 2. It is better to be obedient than to be able to speak.Good at luring the other party to speak. 3. If the other party has a cat or dog in their home, don't let it go.Cats and dogs provide information about their owners. 4. Ask the same question skillfully in different ways, and confirm the facts through two interviews.For example, "Were you and your wife at home yesterday?" "According to your wife, you were at home all day yesterday doing housework. You can testify for her, isn't that true?" 5. In front of the opponent, it is not allowed to take out a note paper to make records. Doing so will make the opponent wary.So just ask verbally, keeping everything the other person says in your head.The more "casual" you behave, the less the other party's psychological defense against you, and the greater the probability of you asking the truth. 6. If you are worried that you will miss something, learn the technique of putting your hands in your pockets to record. 7. Even if the other party complains, or talks about his life experience and situation, listen to him tirelessly like a relative. 8. Do what you like. 9. Match the other person's personality and change the technique of conversation. The conversation with Zhang Zong just now was just a basic use of "discourse skills".I first told them that I knew that the Wang team had been here, so that they thought I was really sent by the Wang team, and secondly, I hinted to them that I was different from Xiao Hu, and I thought they had nothing to do with this case, so I dismissed them Since they can remove their doubts, they are naturally willing to talk to me. "Okay." Zhang Zong nodded, "You can ask." I try not to ask the questions that Team Wang asked, but I must get effective information, so I thought about it, what kind of questions does Team Wang usually ask? By the way, Team Wang will definitely ask about the relationship between Zhang Hou and Xu Jingjing first. So I asked Zhang Hou: "I heard that Xu Jingjing had many boyfriends in college, is that true?" As expected, Zhang Hou became excited: "She had a lot of scandals during college, because she was beautiful, she had many suitors, and many people spread rumors because they couldn't catch her, saying that she was a so-and-so Bad girl, in fact, she hasn't had an affair with other boys since she met my second brother." Wang Dui said: "But before Xu Jingjing met your second brother, you didn't know what she looked like, did you?" "Hmm..." Zhang Hou hesitated for a moment, then nodded. I turned to Zhang Zong: "There was a conflict between your brother and Lu Yang, on the day he and Xu Jingjing got married. Afterwards, someone found your car near Lu Yang's home and company, is that true?" "His family runs a gas station. My car needs to be refueled, so it will naturally appear near the gas station! But I have never been to his house. I don't like Lu Yang, and I don't like Xu Jingjing even more." "But I drove to their house!" Zhang Hou said suddenly, "I also told Wang Dui just now that I went there on the night when the incident happened, but I just walked downstairs and then left. I I really don't understand why Xu Jingjing wants to marry Lu Yang, even if my second brother is gone, isn't there... isn't there me! I'm not as good as that little old man!" What a bonus.Zhang Hou confided very valuable information by himself without waiting to ask. The "date of the incident" he mentioned should refer to the date when the deceased was killed calculated by the forensic doctors.Team Wang and the others should have asked questions like "Where did you go on the day the incident happened?" "Third brother, don't get excited." Zhang Zong warned his younger brother. "Boss Zhang, don't worry. From my personal point of view, your younger brother is usually very restrained. Even if he gets a little angry sometimes, he won't hurt others." It's a mobile powder keg. But what he said was too false, Zhang Hou suddenly stopped talking, and the excited expression on his face gradually receded. I thought badly. I originally wanted to ask him what he said, but I didn't expect it to have the opposite effect. The situation in the room suddenly became embarrassing, the brothers of the Zhang family looked at me coldly, the more anxious I became, the more I couldn't think of what to ask, and I broke out in a cold sweat. It was Xiao Hu who broke the deadlock. He asked Zhang Hou, "Do you like to be quiet?" I thought to myself, what kind of shit question are you calling this!Instead of calling Jing Jing a victim, you call her Jing Jing directly. You are questioning Zhang Hou as a friend! Unexpectedly, Zhang Hou nodded and admitted generously: "I like her. I fell in love with her from the first day my brother brought her home. At that time, she was in college and I was in high school. There was a gap in age. But she is really a beautiful woman, and she is very pleasing. I often go to see my brother during the holidays, not to see him, but to see her." "Third!" Zhang Zong stopped him. I hurriedly said: "Boss Zhang, don't worry, your brother seems to be a straightforward person, I believe what he said, since he said he likes Xu Jingjing, naturally he won't kill her." "Of course I won't kill her..." There was a tear in the corner of Zhang Hou's eyes, "Second brother was so jealous of him that I found such a good woman. But, he is five years older than her. She is three years younger. In terms of age, I should be closer to her. Why can't I marry her! The second brother planned to marry Jingjing that year. If the second brother hadn't had a car accident, she would be my official sister-in-law Yes. I originally thought that if the second elder brother died, I would have a chance as the younger brother, but I didn’t expect that she would directly fall into the arms of that old Lu Yang. Damn you watery bitch!" Originally, when he mentioned the word Xu Jingjing, he always showed a kind of tenderness in his expression, but the last sentence was a vicious insult, and his face became ferocious. Zhang Hou is afraid that he has suppressed it for too long. He has been secretly in love with Xu Jingjing for a long time, but because of love, he hated her. In the end, she was killed. Both love and hatred turned into loss and regret, and in the end, only melancholy and nostalgia remained. .Once it is mentioned, the feelings he suppressed in his heart will erupt like a volcano. If we continue to ask, we will of course find out more clues, but before Zhang Hou opens his mouth, I am afraid we will show our feet first, especially the questions Xiao Hu asks are all strongly individualistic.After asking a few more innocuous questions, I dragged Xiao Hu away. When I went out, I turned to another street, knowing that the Zhang family would not be able to see me, so I dragged Xiao Hu to the corner, and cursed fiercely: "It's easy to find a job now, isn't it? It's too comfortable to stay in the police station, isn't it?" I’m not looking down on you, you won’t be able to walk a round in front of those brothers! If they report to the bureau, you have to pack up and go home immediately! Team Wang will definitely fire you!” "Yes... Brother Liu, I was just too anxious. I didn't fall asleep all night last night. When I closed my eyes, I seemed to see Jing Jing's face... She cried and said that she was wronged and asked me to avenge her . " Xiao Hu squatted down covering his face, and this tall and thick man actually burst into tears. My heart softened when he cried, and I persuaded: "Go back first. If Team Wang finds out that we are not here, he will definitely be anxious. At that time, we will be blamed together." "Thank you Brother Liu, if it weren't for you today, I'm afraid I really couldn't clean up."
