Chapter 21 Section five

Su Yu was thinking wildly, and almost missed the red signal light that was on.He hastily retracted his half-stepped foot and stopped at the pedestrian crossing. "Didi——" the phone rang suddenly, and when Su Yu's hand touched the hard phone case, it suddenly stopped again. It was only then that he remembered that he forgot to bring a charger because he went to the hot spring today, and it seemed that his phone was out of battery. who is it?Could it be Zi Yan?Go back and see.While thinking this way in his mind, Su Yu somehow felt a strange sense of uneasiness, but was quickly dispelled by the instant green light.He never expected that this missed call would become his darkest memory in this bleak winter.

The next day, before the early winter sun penetrated the low-hanging curtains, Su Yu was awakened from her sound sleep by a piercing ringing of bells.He struggled to reach out from under the quilt, grabbed the phone by the bedside and put it to his ear. "Who?" "I, Wang Gang, why isn't your cell phone turned on?" Wang Gang's voice sounded a little annoyed through the receiver. Su Yu woke up suddenly, turned over and sat up quickly: "What's wrong?" "Wei Pengfei is missing. Captain Qin asked me to bring him to the drug rehabilitation center this morning, but as soon as I got there, I heard that he was taken away yesterday."

"What?! How did this happen? Did you ask clearly? Who took it away?" Su Yu was confused, and asked while quickly getting dressed. "It was said that his cousin came to pick him up because his aunt was seriously ill and wanted to see him. But I checked, and he didn't have a cousin at all. There was only one distant aunt in this city, but she passed away a few years ago. " "To his house at once! We shall meet there." When Su Yu anxiously ran up to the slightly old five-story residential building, Wang Gang was already instructing several criminal policemen to pry open the door.

"How about it?" "There was no sound inside. The door wouldn't open even after knocking. But the neighbors reported that they saw Wei Pengfei come back with a man last night." "What kind of man?" "He has a beard, is tall, has broad shoulders, and wears sunglasses." With a bang, the anti-theft door was pried open.The floor of the living room was in a mess, and the tables and chairs were overturned. Wang Gang and Su Yu looked at each other, and their hearts sank. "Attention everyone, there may be something wrong inside." Wang Gang gave an order, and took the lead in lightly moving his steps, stepping over the scattered items on the ground, and walking towards the inner room step by step.

The crowd followed him closely, being careful not to touch anything.Only Su Yu leaned over to examine the objects on the ground carefully. "No one!" Wang Gang gently pushed open the half-hidden bedroom door, and said with some disappointment. "He's here, but he's dead." When everyone turned their heads, Su Yu was already standing at the door of the kitchen with a pale face. Wei Pengfei's thin body lay obliquely on the white floor tiles in the kitchen, with one arm stretched straight ahead.The five fingers of the other hand are slightly arched, as if they are supporting something with force.On his handsome pale face, his eyes were half-opened and his lips were slightly closed.The weirdest thing was his expression, which was actually smiling, a serene smile that made people feel that he was not in pain, as if he ended his life in joy.

Wang Gang waved his hand: "Don't let anyone else come in, protect the scene. Tell the forensics department to come over. Bring two pairs of gloves." The criminal policemen agreed and exited the door one after another. Some were busy calling to find someone, and some sealed off the scene. Wang Gang put on his gloves, stepped over Wei Pengfei's body lightly, squatted down, and said: "It should be injected with drugs. There are no obvious wounds on the surface, and it may be caused by drug overdose. The specifics need to wait for the forensic doctor to come and test it." Know."

Wang Gang tilted his head and watched cautiously. Wei Pengfei's high-rolled cuff exposed a section of arm, where there were still a few obvious injection needle holes.He raised his head and said to Su Yu: "I think that after Wei Pengfei and that tall man returned home, he might suddenly have a drug addiction. What, there was an argument with that man. The two of them might have fought and made a mess in the living room. Afterwards, Wei Pengfei ran into the kitchen and suddenly fell to the ground struggling. It was probably an overdose of drugs. The man was naturally shocked when he saw this. ran away. What do you think?"

Su Yu didn't seem to have recovered from the shock, he leaned against the door frame, his brows were furrowed. It's no wonder that he usually does some mental work on analyzing the case, and it's very rare to actually experience the death scene like this.Besides, the deceased was an acquaintance he knew. But Su Yu is Su Yu, he stabilized his mind and began to look around the small kitchen.He must find some valuable clues to solve the case before the forensic personnel arrive at the scene. This is a narrow and crowded room, like most buildings built at that time, it did not consider the gorgeous and beautiful overall kitchen utensils in the kitchen, but was only designed as a room for cooking.Compared with the messiness of the living room, this place is quite tidy and clean.The few pots and bowls and chopsticks on the stove reflect the characteristics of men living alone.

"What is this?" Su Yu bent down and picked up some broken ceramic fragments. Wang Gang also came over, and the two of them examined the fragments carefully. "Looks like a cup, shaped like a handle here." "Coffee cup, look at this arc. It's wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. It's obviously in the shape of a cup." As Wang Gang said, he pieced together the pieces in his hand, and it was faintly the bottom of a cup. Su Yu pondered for a moment and said: "I don't think it's a coffee cup, but a teacup. Look, the colors and patterns here seem to be patterns of blue and white porcelain. Of course, it needs to be restored to see its original appearance. However, some Kind of weird."

"What? Tell me—" "Look at the living room over there, things are messy, the chairs are overturned, and many things on the table have rolled to the ground. It seems that there has been some fierce fighting. But here, it is as clean as usual. Except for this The body, and this shattered cup. What does that mean?" Wang Gang's eyes flashed: "The two must have been entangled. Wei Pengfei and that tall man must have had a fight in the living room. Did he lose his strength later? He was not the man's opponent. He knocked him down and dragged him into the kitchen But why did this man have to drag Wei Pengfei to the kitchen? Is there something he wants here? Or, Wei Pengfei fled to the kitchen when he resisted, and that man chased him?" He looked up and down the palm-sized kitchen, then squatted down and gently raised Wei Pengfei's feet to look around. Soon, he overturned his conclusion just now.

"It's not like, except for Wei Pengfei, there is no trace of anyone else coming in here. Looking at the ground, there are only a few shoe prints in the toes, and the patterns on the soles are also very consistent with the Lux sneakers Wei Pengfei wears on his feet." Su Yu, who had been looking back and forth between the kitchen and the living room, said at this moment: "Wei Pengfei must have walked into the kitchen by himself. There are only his footprints in the passage from the living room to the kitchen, and there is no trace of dragging anything." .Moreover, the front part of the footprints is clear, but the back part is very blurry, which proves that he was already very weak when he went to the kitchen, and his steps were weak, and he dragged his body step by step into it." "Why did he have to go into the kitchen? Do you think it was because he had already injected drugs at that time, so he was not conscious?" Wang Gang asked while taking Wei Pengfei's arm and looking at the pinholes carefully. "Maybe, maybe not, of course a not-so-sane person could go anywhere in the house. But why doesn't he go to the bedroom? It's closer to the living room, just open a door. To the kitchen If you think about it logically, I guess he walked to the kitchen consciously. However, there are two questions here. Since the mysterious tall man had a conflict with him in the living room , why didn't you chase him to the kitchen? And there is this cup, which is in Wei Pengfei's hand, and it has been smashed to pieces. Since it wasn't dropped by a tall man, the most likely thing is that Wei Pengfei dropped it himself. Walked into the kitchen at the last moment of your life just for this thing?" Su Yu stared at the fragments, as if he was asking Wang Gang, but also himself. "Maybe it's just a coincidence. I think maybe he's thirsty and wants to drink water. Sometimes the excitement after drug injection can make his mouth dry. I've seen addicts like that, always asking our police officers for water. " "Maybe. After the cup is restored, there will be an answer." Su Yu nodded. "Team Wang, Brother Yu, I found this in the grass downstairs." Xiao Li reached in and handed over a crumpled packaging bag and a plastic needle. Wang Gang took it and looked at it: "The needles are special for hospitals. This Wei Pengfei is indeed a talented student who graduated from the Department of Pharmacy. He is really professional in injecting drugs. Many drug addicts use injection needles together, and it is easy to cross infection." Su Yu stared at the needle and said slowly: "No, Wei Pengfei didn't inject drugs by himself, but was injected by another person in this room, that is, the tall man. But he must be wearing gloves, I think We couldn't find his fingerprints on the needle." "Why are you so sure? Is there any basis?" Su Yu pointed to the stove and said, "Because Wei Pengfei is left-handed, his kitchen knife is placed on the left side of the cutting board, and the rag is hung on the far left side of the plastic hook. Even the small air window on the gas stove is only half opened on the left side. Fan. When I checked the room just now, I found that the toiletries in his bathroom were also placed on the left hand side." "Ah, really, why didn't I pay attention before!" Wang Gang hurried into the bathroom to have a look, his face full of surprise. "We were mostly in the interrogation room when Wei Pengfei came into contact with us. We were all focused on the facts of the case, and of course we didn't pay attention to such details. However, as soon as I walked into this living room today, I felt weird. The tea table is placed on the left side of the sofa, and the things that roll off the table are basically on the ground on the left side of the room. There is no doubt that the owner of this room is left-handed. But you can see that Wei Pengfei's injection needle holes are all in his left arm On. How can a left-handed person change his usual habits and use his right hand to inject himself with drugs when his drug addiction occurs? So someone else must have injected him, and this person has prepared a disposable syringe in advance .Why? Either he is also a drug addict and prepared it for himself; or he prepared it for Wei Pengfei. He came prepared." "Murder! It was a premeditated murder!" Wang Gang blurted out. Su Yu looked down at the body that had gradually become stiff, and bit her lip slightly. "I still remember that day after the criminal police polygraph test, he told me to forget the past misfortunes and start his life again. But I didn't expect that he would never have such a chance again." Wang Gang sighed deeply.Although as a criminal policeman, he was used to seeing murder scenes, but facing this lost life today, he still felt extremely depressed. Su Yu and Wang Gang had already gone downstairs when the people from the forensic and forensic departments crowded the whole room. A cordon was put up beside the flower beds in the community, and curious crowd gathered around the downstairs, whispering, and stretching their heads from time to time to find out the latest gossip.Xiao Li is taking notes for several neighbors who live in the same building. An old lady carrying a vegetable basket sighed and said, "Pengfei, I watched him grow up. He did evil. He was a pretty good kid, but he grew up with good grades, but he just got a mental illness. I heard that he was still taking drugs, so he pissed his father to death. Now he is also dead at a young age, what a crime." She even said a few "doing evil", and the old people beside her couldn't help but agree, feeling sorry for Wei Pengfei. Xiao Li patiently enlightened them: "Then what did you see and hear last night? You can talk about any small things, which may help us solve the case." An old lady said: "Well, I live opposite Xiaowei's house. I heard footsteps in the corridor last night. I thought it was my daughter-in-law who came back from get off work, so I opened the door quickly, only to see Xiaowei coming upstairs with a man." He was sullen, and took out the key to open the door without saying a word. I was still wondering, didn’t the kid hear that he was sent to the drug rehabilitation center? Why did he come back so soon? I just wanted to ask him, He was pushed by that man and got into the house all at once." "You said it was the man who pushed Wei Pengfei into the house?" "Well, that's right, it was a push. I was still thinking, this person is quite fierce, is it some kind of gangster who came to collect debts or something." Xiao Li asked while making records: "In the past, was Wei Pengfei often asked for debts by others?" Another old lady interjected and said, "No, since I started smoking that, some hooligans would knock on the door and ask for money every now and then. Originally, his father helped him pay it back when his father was around, but later his father died and was blocked by others." I was downstairs several times and was almost beaten. But, in the past six months, I haven't seen anyone come to ask for money. " "Old man, what are the characteristics of the man who went upstairs with Wei Pengfei?" The old lady thought for a while: "Well, I told your police officer that she is quite tall, with broad shoulders, and she wears sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat at night. I don't see her face at all. He kept his back on me." Having said all this is equivalent to not saying it, it's all a disguise!Where can I find this tall man in the vast sea of ​​people?Xiao Li couldn't help frowning. "I saw that man too. But when he was leaving." A fashionable girl whispered. Xiao Li hurriedly asked: "Please explain in detail. The more detailed the better." "Well, I went to sing with some friends last night. We played until after nine o'clock, and we got back by taxi. As soon as we got to the second floor, we saw a man walking downstairs in a hurry. He walked so fast that he even touched Hit me and knocked off the phone I was holding. I was very annoyed at the time, but the man immediately picked it up and handed it to me, and said sorry politely. I think he has a good attitude, He was quite gracious, so forget it, and didn’t pursue it. Then he went downstairs quickly and left.” "Miss, you said that man is quite handsome, can you tell me how he is like?" Su Yu, who had been standing aside and listening silently, interjected with great interest. The girl said with some embarrassment: "He speaks very standard mandarin, which is not often heard in our Jiangcheng. Also, he seems to have the smell of cologne men's perfume. I quite like men who pay attention to appearance." Su Yu and Wang Gang looked at each other with excitement in their eyes, and finally found some clues about the man. Wang Gang then asked: "Miss, you said just now that the man picked up the phone for you and handed it to you. When he looked up, did you see his face clearly?" The girl shook her head lightly: "Ah, no, the corridor light on the second floor is out, so you can only see things by the light on the third floor. Besides, he was wearing quite wide sunglasses and his hat was pulled down. But— —” The girl paused, hesitated, “I glanced at his hand, although it was just a glance. But I saw a platinum ring on the middle finger of his right hand, which was bright and conspicuous under the light. The ring seemed to be And engraved with a letter, M." "M, M." Su Yu repeated the letter lightly, thoughtfully.
