Escape the Library

【The Mystery of the Construction Site-03】

Yue Xingwen's first reaction when he saw the corpse was murder, he immediately looked around for suspicious perpetrators. It was just 5:30 in the morning, the sky was bright, and most of the workers had not woken up. The construction site was empty. Except for the corpse, there was only the screaming female worker nearby.

The blood around the corpse has not yet solidified, indicating that his death was not long.

Judging from the location of his body, the biggest possibility is that he fell from the height of Xinyue Building. If it is murder, it will take at least a few minutes for the murderer to push him down from the height and then escape from the building. Maybe the murderer Still at the crime scene?

Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce looked at each other, the latter nodded, and immediately brought several teammates who had come to hear the sound, and turned to block people at several exits of Xinyue Building.

Yue Xingwen and Liu Zhaoqing stayed at the scene.

Liu Zhaoqing obviously hadn't slept well, and there were obvious dark circles under his eyelids. There is no medical treatment in the team. He is a medical student, so he can roughly determine the cause of death. He took a step forward and carefully observed the body of the deceased, and said, "It happened to hit this steel pipe when it fell. The location where the steel pipe runs through the abdomen is near the left spleen. It should be the rupture of the spleen that caused massive abdominal hemorrhage."

People who fall to death usually have two ways of dying. One is that the head hits the ground and the skull is broken and the brain bleeds directly to death; the other is the body that falls to the ground and the internal organs rupture and bleed to death, or hit a sharp object in the process of falling and pierce the internal organs.

This person died very simply, and there is no possibility of surviving. Liu Zhaoqing raised his head and glanced at the building, and said, "The location is very clever. It is specially designed to push people to the place where the steel pipe is placed, so that it can be killed in one hit."

The screaming female worker turned pale with fright. Yue Xingwen turned her head and asked, "Hello, do you know this person?"

The female worker said with trembling lips: "He, he is my hometown, his name is Zhao Dayong, and he is a cement worker. I got up in the morning and went to the toilet, and when I passed by here, I saw him hanging on this steel pipe, and there was blood everywhere..."

There were messy footsteps behind her, and apparently some workers were also awakened by her screams and came to see the situation.

Someone recognized the deceased and shouted: "Zhao Dayong? What's going on!" "God, why did he die?" "Call an ambulance!" "Should call 110 first!"

Some people hurriedly took out their mobile phones to call 110, some people called 120, and the entire construction site was thrown into chaos.

At this time, Jiang Pingce was leading people to search inside the Xinyue Plaza building.

Qin Lu, Qin Miao, and Lin Manluo guarded the three exits of the building. The other boys quickly searched inside the building and exchanged information with the research group at any time.

Zhuo Feng said: "No suspicious persons were found in Area A."

Xu Yishen said, "I didn't find it in Area B. The whole building is empty."

Jiang Pingce was in charge of Area C. Since he had seen the drawings inside the building yesterday, he was very familiar with the roads here. He walked down the stairs and searched the seventh floor one by one.

Just after walking around the corner of the sixth floor, a figure suddenly flashed past!

The man ran extremely fast, like a clever little animal, digging through the middle of the wall with a cat on his waist.

The interior of the building has not yet been completed, so there will be holes in the walls for construction workers to pass between the different areas. Jiang Pingce is tall and has long legs, but it is not convenient for him to chase people through the holes in the wall.

He frowned, and suddenly raised his right hand—

The coordinate system was positioned instantly, and the guy who had just run out a few meters away was moved in a reverse straight line by Jiang Pingce and returned to Jiang Pingce. Jiang Pingce stretched out his hand and grabbed the opponent's collar suddenly: "What are you running for?"

The man's face was full of horror, and he didn't seem to understand. He clearly ran out, so how could he go back?

He was stunned for two seconds before stammering: "I, I'm in a hurry, can't I run, run to the toilet?"

This voice sounded very young, like a teenager. Jiang Pingce took a look at his body. Under the cover of the helmet, the boy's face looked very small, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with dark skin and big and bright eyes. The first impression is very clever.

Jiang Pingce asked seriously, "What are you doing here if you don't go back to the dormitory to sleep?"

The teenager said tremblingly, "My, my dormitory bed was occupied, and I slept here on the floor last night..."

His weight is less than 120 pounds visually, can the black and thin teenager push an adult? It's just a coincidence that he's here? Or is he a scheming murderer, or an eyewitness to the case?

Jiang Pingce asked in a deep voice, "Did you see or hear anything just now?"

The boy said innocently: "I was in a daze, I heard a 'bang', as if something fell, and then, a woman screamed downstairs!" He paused and asked seriously: "Did something happen?"

Jiang Pingce stared sharply at his eyes and said lightly, "Don't you want to go to the toilet in a hurry? Why did you fall asleep again?"

The boy who was dismantled looked embarrassed: "I was in a hurry after I was woken up... No, no, you suddenly came up just now, startling me, and I ran away."

This little guy was full of lies, Jiang Pingce didn't want to waste time with him, so he turned around and went downstairs with him.

Downstairs, a group of people surrounded the body. Many people recognized the deceased as Zhao Dayong, and Yue Xingwen was looking for the surrounding workers to get news. Seeing Jiang Pingce, he walked over quickly and asked the other party's harvest with his eyes. Jiang Pingce shook his head and whispered in Yue Xingwen's ear: "We didn't find anyone else when we went up, only this little guy."

Yue Xingwen carefully looked at the dark-skinned, bright-eyed boy, and asked softly, "Do you think he doesn't look like a murderer?"

Jiang Pingce said: "You have to ask about his relationship with the deceased."

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man saw the corpses in the crowd, and suddenly rushed over like crazy, crying in a broken way: "Second uncle, second uncle, what's wrong with you? Come on, help!"

A female worker beside him was persuading him: "Aliang, your second uncle fell to his death..." "Oh, how could this be?"

There was a lot of discussion around.

From everyone's discussion, Jiang Pingce finally knew the boy's name - Zhao Liang, Zhao Dayong's nephew, 18 years old this year, just graduated from high school in June. Because he didn't get into a good university, he followed his second uncle to the construction site to learn craftsmanship.

Nephew murders uncle? Judging from the boy's collapse and crying just now, this possibility seems unlikely, but it cannot be completely ruled out. After all, Zhao Liang was the only person who stayed in the building when the incident happened.

It didn't take long for the sound of ambulances and police cars to sound outside.

Yue Xingwen returned to his teammates, and everyone looked at each other.

Liu Zhaoqing complained in a low voice, "Can we still call the police? It's enough to hand over the case to the police. What can we do?"

Xu Yishen yawned, squinted his eyes and said, "The police will definitely not help us solve the case. Either it is defined as 'accidental fall from the building' and no evidence can be found. Or, they will not tell us if they find the evidence. The police, like It's the inspector of the examination room, I walked around and left, and we have to do the papers ourselves."

If everyone thinks about it carefully, it is really possible.

If you let the police solve the case directly, what test are they taking? Xu Yishen's metaphor of "the inspector" is quite apt.

Jiang Pingce frowned and said in a low voice, "The murderer is very cautious. We went upstairs to check and he didn't leave any traces. There are countless footprints in this building, which are very messy and have no reference value."

Yue Xingwen rubbed his chin thoughtfully: "If someone pushed him downstairs at the time of the incident, then this person must have escaped before everyone found the dead body. Ping Ce took him there. He was already gone by then, so you couldn't block him. He was familiar with the interior of the building and knew the fastest way to escape."

Zhuo Feng said: "The workers here are very familiar with the building. Based on this alone, the scope of suspicion is too large."

Yue Xingwen nodded and said, "Yes, everyone can commit crimes. The key is the time of committing the crime. The deceased died not long ago. The dormitories on the construction site are all double rooms. Whoever has gone out during this period will be suspected?"

Jiang Pingce thought for a while and added: "And the murderer knows the work and rest of the workers very well. He is very aware of Zhao Dayong's habits. Zhao Dayong likes to get up early to work in the early morning, so he will choose to start at this time."

Yue Xingwen looked at Jiang Pingce: "Wake up at 5:30 in the morning to kill for love, wealth, or hatred?"

Zhao Dayong's strange work and rest time has become a weapon for the murderer to target him. What kind of grievance does the two have?

Ke Shaobin suddenly asked, "By the way, is there surveillance on the construction site?"

Zhuo Feng spread his hands helplessly and said, "The monitoring inside the building has not been installed yet. The current progress is the water and electricity renovation. To avoid accidents during the process, the main switch is also closed."

Lin Manluo said, "There are surveillance cameras at the entrance and exit of the construction site, as well as some corners. We can check it out."

Ke Shaobin whispered: "Before the police go looking for the surveillance, should I copy the surveillance to the computer?"

Yue Xingwen said simply: "Okay, hurry up, you and Qin Lu will go there together."

Qin Lu's plate movement is really useful. He can transport Ke Shaobin to the monitoring room without knowing it. Ke Shaobin quickly copied the data. When he returned to his teammates, the forensic car had pulled the body away, and the police were on the way. After visiting and investigating, several young detectives quickly went upstairs to collect evidence.

Yue Xingwen stood by and listened for a while.

Someone familiar with the deceased introduced to the police: "Zhao Dayong's hometown is in a village near City A. He has no father or mother, so he was brought up by his elder brother. His elder brother and sister-in-law died in a car accident in their early years, leaving Zhao Liang behind. Children. Their family is very poor, too poor to marry a daughter-in-law, and Xiaoliang has poor academic performance. He didn't get into university, so the two uncles and nephews came to work together on the construction site..."

The police asked, "Has Zhao Dayong had any disputes with anyone in the last few days?" The people at the construction site shook their heads one after another: "No, he is honest, and he smiles at everyone." If you ask a question and answer a question, you can't kick two farts with three feet!" "He works very hard. He has been on the construction site for more than half a year, and I haven't heard of anyone quarreling with him?"

After a while, several police officers who went upstairs to collect evidence came down and whispered a few words in the captain's ear. Yue Xingwen couldn't hear what they were talking about, but judging from the policeman's expression, it shouldn't be a big gain.

Police cordoned off the scene and launched a detailed investigation of everyone.

The forensic doctor put forward the exact time of death, which is between 5:00 and 5:15 in the morning. The workers need to explain clearly what they were doing at the time, whether they heard footsteps, etc.

It's already autumn, and it's still dark at 5:00 in the morning. This time is the best time to sleep. Many people don't know if the roommate has gone out. Most of the people's answers were "I was sleeping in the dormitory at the time", and because of this, the credibility of everyone's "alibi" would be greatly reduced.

The police did not have much to gain and temporarily closed the team.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, a large number of leaders came to the construction site and asked for a temporary suspension of work.

Yue Xingwen went back to the dormitory and carefully looked at the surveillance camera Ke Shaobin had tortured - no one went upstairs.

There are a total of three exits in this building, all of which are covered by surveillance cameras. No matter if someone enters or exits, they can record video. However, from the time Zhao Dayong entered the building at 3:30 in the morning and the discovery of Zhao Dayong's body at 5:30, no one else went upstairs or came out of the building for two hours.

Only Zhao Dayong and his 18-year-old nephew A Liang were in the building at the time.

Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce looked at each other and said, "If the nephew is not the murderer, then the murderer must have been hiding in the building ahead of time. Besides, after the incident, he hasn't come out of these three exits?"

Jiang Pingce frowned: "We checked in detail at the time, and there really was no one in the building."

Where did the murderer go? Can you still evaporate in place after killing people?

Ke Shaobin suddenly shuddered and said in a low voice, "Could he have supernatural powers? Like Qin Lu, does the plate move?"

Everyone: "..."

Not so much, right? Then how to investigate the case? !
