Chapter 20 third quarter

Walking out of Fan Rong's house, I went straight to the elevator, but was stopped by Qin Siwei in a strange way: "It's hard to come here, let's visit the murder scene." He carefully unsealed the door of Room 1502, took out a bunch of keys from his bag, and opened the anti-theft door.This is also a two-bedroom apartment, with the same structure as 1500, but the decoration and layout are much simpler.The floors are cheap composites, and the furniture is mostly assembled from IKEA.Although Wei Pingqing has made some achievements in his career, after all, he was born in a poor family and his economic strength is still relatively weak.However, the room was very tidy, almost spotless, and everything was neatly arranged according to size and specification.On the wall behind the sofa hangs a large 24-inch half-length color photo. In the photo is a young man wearing a mentor uniform and a square hat with golden tassels on his head. The tassels seem to be fluttering in the wind.His shoulders are broad, his face is dark, his eyes are not big, but his eyes are deep, his two bushy eyebrows are slightly raised, his lips are thin, and the corners of his mouth are slightly turned up, showing full pride in his expression.

"This is Dr. Wei Dawei." Qin Siwei pointed to the photo and said to me, "It's narcissistic enough, to actually put on a tutor uniform and take a picture and hang it in the living room, and it's so big." "I'm afraid others don't know how knowledgeable he is." I said disdainfully. "Look, how clean the room is." Qin Siwei led me around the room, "The murderer cleaned up the scene very carefully before leaving." "What about the fingerprints? Nothing?" "Some fingerprints were found in the room, and a few were extracted from the door. The comparison results will come out later. But I guess most of them are Wei Pingqing's own. Moreover, if the murderer is an acquaintance of Wei Pingqing, find him in the house Fingerprints don't mean much."

He pulled me near the door of the bathroom, pointed to a light brown stain on the floor and said: "The body is lying here, and there is a wound on the right side of the top of the head. The murder weapon is the glass coffee table - we are on the side of the coffee table." There were blood stains that had been cleaned in one corner, and blood spots that had been wiped on the floor. The forensic doctor just reported to me that the blood samples collected at the scene were tested to be Wei Pingqing’s blood.” I squatted down and took a closer look. The corner of the coffee table was indeed broken, but there was no broken glass falling on the floor. It seemed that it had been carefully cleaned.

"Judging from the situation at the scene, the murderer came to visit Wei Pingqing last night, and the two had a dispute." Qin Siwei continued, "During the scuffle, Wei Pingqing fell and hit his head on the glass coffee table, killing him on the spot." I asked him, "Is Wei Pingqing's body lying face up on the ground, or lying on the ground?" "Lying face down on the ground. But the body should have been moved to the bathroom door by the murderer." "It's understandable to clean up the scene, but why did he bother to move the corpse?"

"It may be that the dead body is in the way when scrubbing the coffee table and cleaning the broken glass. Also, I found less obvious bruises on both sides of Wei Pingqing's neck near the throat, as if pinched out by someone. , should have been left behind by the murderer during the fight, but it's too vague to be of much value." "From the photo, Wei Pingqing looks quite strong. How tall is he?" "He is 1.84 meters tall and weighs 80 kilograms." "Hey, a strong man." I said, "From this point of view, the murderer must also be very strong, otherwise how could he be his opponent?"

"That's not necessarily true." Qin Siwei smiled slyly, "The forensic doctor said that when Wei Pingqing died, the alcohol concentration in his body was extremely high. That is to say, he was already in a state of drunkenness at that time. Therefore, the other party does not have to be very strong Subdue him." "Well, what kind of wine did he drink?" "I don't know yet." He said helplessly, "We didn't find any wine at the scene, neither the wine bottle nor the glass that used to hold the wine, and there was only half a bottle of cooking wine in the kitchen. It was just the shirt that Wei Pingqing was wearing. Some stains were found around the neckline, and after testing, it was found to contain alcohol, and the content was quite high."

"Could it be that the wine utensils were also taken away by the murderer?" I asked suspiciously, "But why did he do that?" "Who knows." Qin Siwei stood in the middle of the living room with his hips akimbo, "I think the murderer's IQ is not low, at least at the level of a professor. It can be seen from cleaning the scene that he is a very careful person. Maybe he moved The corpse and the removal of the drinking utensils are just trying to mislead us in solving the case. Of course, there may be evidence against him on the drinking utensils." "Maybe." I wiped the sweat from my brow with the back of my hand.The doors and windows in the room were closed, and the air conditioner was not turned on. After standing for a while, I felt so stuffy that I couldn't breathe.

"How is it? Do you smell anything?" Qin Siwei asked me with a smile. "What are you smelling, you think I'm a police dog?" I glared at him. "Don't be mad." His "claw" rested on my shoulder. "I mean, did you find anything unusual?" "Nothing unusual, just don't quite understand why he..." "what do you mean?" "It's nothing, I just have a few questions that I haven't figured out yet." I took out a tissue and wiped my face, "Let's go, I can't find any more clues here. I'm so hot."

We were about to leave when we heard the door "click" a few times.The door was pushed open, and a tall man with a dark complexion walked in.He looked to be in his forties, with a thin build and a little hunchback. He was wearing a half-worn blue khaki overalls and a baseball cap with some torn edges, and he was carrying a red and blue woven bag in his hand.Seeing Qin Siwei and me in the room, the big man was taken aback for a moment, and shyly called out "Captain Qin".Qin Siwei told me that he was Wei Pingqing's elder brother Wei Dagang. "Dagang, you are..." Qin Siwei pointed to the woven bag in Wei Dagang's hand.

"Ah... I just asked the section chief for a few days off." Wei Dagang spoke with a strong Hunan dialect, "I want to pack my brother's things." "You can't move the things here yet." Qin Siwei said, "We will notify you when it can be cleaned up." "Ah, I can't take it away." Wei Dagang said disappointedly. "Not yet. Have you informed the family?" "Not yet..." He lowered his head, "I'm afraid I won't be able to explain clearly on the phone, so I plan to go home in two days. I'd better go home and tell them personally."

"Is that so." Qin Siwei said sympathetically, "Do you need us to do anything else for you?" Wei Dagang shook his head.It was obvious that he was almost on the verge of tears. "Dagang, how many years have you been in Beijing?" I asked. "I came here after the autumn harvest in 2006... almost three years." He whispered. "Do you come to your brother's place often?" "I usually live in the dormitory for temporary workers." Wei Dagang said, "Ergang... oh, that's my younger brother. He likes to be quiet and doesn't like to be disturbed by others. So I usually come twice a week to help him clean up the house." "Wei Pingqing's baby name was originally Ergang." Qin Siwei seemed to find the name funny. "Oh, it's not a baby name. My parents didn't study any books, so the names we gave our brothers were very simple. My name is Dagang, and my younger brother's name is Ergang." Wei Dagang said embarrassedly, "Later, Ergang came to Beijing. When I went to college, I thought the name was too rustic, and I was afraid that my classmates and teachers would make fun of me, so I changed my name to Wei Pingqing. It said it was...meaning "prosperous success", which seems to be cultured and auspicious." I almost laughed out loud, this Wei Pingqing is really fussy, changing his name can make so much attention. "Da Gang, I'm in a hurry this morning, I didn't have time to ask you..." Qin Siwei said, "Did you see your brother yesterday?" "I was on duty last night, from 6:00 pm to 8:00 this morning. I visited Ergang before going to work yesterday. He was sitting on the ground drinking and a little drunk. I said a few words to him, and he also Ignore me—he's not in a good mood these two days." "What does he drink?" I asked. "I don't know the words on the wine bottle. It seems that it was given to him by the teacher Fan Fan who visited me in France two years ago. Er Gang usually doesn't drink a drop of wine, saying that he is afraid that alcohol will hurt his brain." "Do you know why he is in a bad mood?" "It seems to be something about work. I asked, but he didn't want to tell me. My younger brother is too strong, and he must be better than others in everything. We were both in the county when we were in high school, and I happen to be in the same class. Almost every time he takes the first test or I take the first test, but every time I do better than him, he gets angry and doesn't talk to me for several days, sometimes he hides and cries. Woolen cloth." "You brothers are in the same class?" I felt strange, judging by his age, Wei Dagang is over forty, how could he be in the same class as his younger brother? He smiled shyly: "Can't you tell, Ergang and I are the same age. We are twins, but he looks much younger than me. It's better to be in the city, where there is no wind and sun, and there is no need to dry Physical work, everyone looks young. Many teachers in the school said that I am not like Er Gang's brother, but his uncle." I was stunned, the wrinkles on this face were clearly visible, and the man with a hunched back was only thirty-five years old?Although I have never met his doctoral supervisor brother, but from the photos, he is absolutely different from him.And this simple and honest brother gave me the feeling that in front of my brother, it was like a primary school student meeting the head teacher, cautious for fear of making mistakes.Compatriots with one milk, the gap in life is too big. I couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you go to university?" As soon as I said that, I realized that I had made a serious mistake. Wei Dagang lowered his head as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on his head: "This is life. The family was very poor. Although the state gave tuition fees for university at that time, the expenses in the city were so high that the family could not afford it." Two college students. So my dad said, whoever has the highest score in the test will be donated. I was so nervous that I couldn’t sleep every night, and then I fell ill. At first, I caught a cold and had a fever, and then I started to have diarrhea, diarrhea My legs were so weak that I could barely sit up after being put on a bottle in the health center for a week. The college entrance examination was the day after I was discharged from the hospital, and I failed in the exam. Alas, this is all predestined. The same is true for Ergang, struggling so After a few years, I finally made it through, just so vaguely..." "Uh... Dagang, do you know who your younger brother has conflicts with?" I quickly changed the subject. Wei Dagang said sullenly: "Er Gang is too aggressive, and he doesn't get along well with his colleagues in the unit. It turned out that he was on good terms with the opposite teacher Fan, but then he offended him for some reason. Now Teacher Fan sees Er Gang as if he saw a ghost. .” "Don't you know why they had a conflict?" "I asked, but Ergang didn't say anything. I told him, no matter what, Teacher Fan helped us, and he helped us arrange my job. But he said that he had Teacher Fan's handle in his hand, and he didn't use it at all. Don't be afraid of him. If I talk too much, he will yell at me and tell me to leave his affairs alone. I don't dare to ask any more." "Besides Fan Rong, do you know who else he has a tense relationship with?" Qin Siwei asked him. He thought for a while: "It seems that there is another teacher Wu who once ran to the house and beat Er Gang." "Wu Jingyi?" I continued to be surprised. "I guess so." He said hesitantly, "He's from Shandong, he's a big man. It seems he's called Wu Yiyi." "When did that happen?" Qin Siwei was also surprised, "Why did Wu Jingyi beat Wei Pingqing?" "A long time ago, when I first came to Beijing, that is, in the winter of 2006. At that time, I wanted to call the police, but Er Gang refused to let me go." "Don't call the police? Why?" "I don't know either. I have never met that teacher Wu. I only know that he is Ergang's colleague." "Besides Wu Jingyi, who else do you know that your brother has a relatively serious conflict with?" Qin Siwei chased after him like a hunting dog who found a rabbit. Wei Dagang couldn't stand it anymore: "It seems... It seems that there are more. But I, I just heard him say some things, such as who is more annoying, who deliberately opposes him, that is, the kind of words that sometimes complain, So I didn't take it seriously." Qin Siwei had no choice but to give up.Wei Dagang struggled with him for a while, trying to take away some of Wei Pingqing's belongings, but Qin Siwei insisted on waiting for a breakthrough in the case.Seeing that there was no hope, Wei Dagang wisely stopped entanglement, asked for a business card of Qin Siwei, and left. We couldn't find anything more valuable at the scene, so we withdrew. As the car drove out of the gate of the University of Technology, Qin Siwei said cheerfully, "I said a long time ago that there are always people willing to talk. What do you think of Fan Rong?" "Don't look at his bleary-eyed look, in fact, we have already prepared for our visit. What can be said and what can't be said has been calculated." "Well, I also think this person is very shrewd. You remember Wu Jingyi said that when he came back to pick up the bag last night, he rang the doorbell for a long time, but Fan Rong didn't respond. This is very suspicious." "If he's really drunk, it's normal that he can't hear the doorbell. Besides, what Wu Jingyi said may not be entirely true." I closed my eyes and leaned back on the chair.After a whole morning of tossing around, my clothes were already soaked, and they were blown by the air conditioner in the car and stuck to my body with a chill, which made me feel very uncomfortable. "Yes! We must find out why he beat Wei Pingqing and what happened between them." Qin Siwei suddenly asked me, "Why, are you tired?" "A little bit." I replied vaguely, "I want to go home and take a shower." "Okay, I'll take you home first, and then go back to the bureau." Qin Siwei drove the car into the main road of the third ring road, "If you are beaten but you don't call the police, it doesn't seem to be in line with Wei Pingqing's personality to think that you are unlucky." "If he himself is wrong, or if he is afraid of making things big and involving other things that are not good for him, then this kind of behavior makes sense." "Yes, maybe there is something going on here. Also, it turns out that Qiu Bin and Wei Pingqing are also involved." "There is no hatred for no reason in the world. You can tell by the way he gloated when he mentioned the anonymous letter. But with Qiu Bin's age and physique, it is impossible for him to be Wei Pingqing's opponent." "If Wei Pingqing was sober, Qiu Bin would certainly not be able to beat him, but not necessarily if he was drunk. So Qiu Bin's itinerary last night must be investigated clearly." "That is to say, you have locked three suspects?" "Almost, but I'm still most interested in Fan Rong. He and Wei Pingqing are neighbors, so it's easier to attack. Maybe he pretended to be drunk last night in order to find an excuse for himself to get rid of the suspicion. Heh, there is something wrong now. Gotta be busy."
