Three people and one ghost solved 43 mysterious cases.

Chapter 54 Self-defense (10) Innocence Statement

The place was very remote, on top of a mountain. A row of dilapidated villas.

More than ten years ago, a developer circled a piece of land here, confidently wanting to build a summer resort.

Who would have thought that if there was something wrong with the project, there would be potential safety hazards in the entire villa area.

The order was changed several times, but it failed to meet the standards. The developer's financial chain was broken, and the project was terminated.

The villas are beautiful and imitate Thai-style structures, but after decades of wind and rain, and because these houses have cut corners, the paint on the exterior walls has peeled off, the tiles have fallen off, and the roofs are leaking.

Although the relevant departments have taken back the ownership of the villa area and invited bids several times, they have not yet found a new home for such a large project.

Therefore, this villa area has always been empty. It was built in an "unsightly" mountain top with overgrown weeds. It was a disgrace to the scenery and a failure.

And this case happened in one of the unoccupied houses in this villa area.

The reason is——

A villager on the mountain saw that the weather was good and wanted to dry pickles, so he came to the villa area with pickles.

Each villa is a rough house with no doors and can be entered directly.

The villagers took the pickles to a villa and saw many Coke cans, mineral water bottles, and cigarette ashes on the ground.

The villagers are not surprised by these things.

These empty villa areas are often occupied by homeless people and rag pickers.

There are also some drug addicts who secretly enjoy themselves here.

The villagers brought pickles and followed the cement stairs to the second floor. They saw a human-shaped object on the ground with a blanket covering it.

Taking a closer look, he saw that it was a person with his head wrapped in a blanket and his feet exposed.

The villagers were startled, but they still had the courage to shout, "Hey, who is here? Hello."

After calling a few times, the "man" lay motionless.

The villagers did not go over, so they quickly ran downstairs and called the police on their mobile phones.

Ten minutes later, police from the area arrived at the scene.

The two policemen went upstairs, walked to the "person" and lifted the blanket——

A woman, very young, with her eyes closed and an obvious strangulation mark on her neck.

It was a murder case.

.

More than half an hour later, the police and forensic scientists from the Crime Unit arrived at the scene.

The forensic doctor conducted a preliminary examination on the female body.

The deceased woman was very young and died of suffocation.

The murder tool was judged to be a hemp rope. Someone used the rope to tie the woman's neck and strangled her to death.

The time of death does not exceed 48 hours.

A small amount of powder was found in the woman's mouth and nose, where she had taken poison before her death.

There were no injuries on the woman's body. The woman was strangled to death without resistance.

The crime scene seemed to have been processed, all fingerprints had been destroyed, and no tools were found.

Police judgment:

At the time of the crime, the woman was in a coma due to taking drugs. At this time, the murderer appeared, found a rope, strangled the woman to death, then put away the hemp rope as a crime tool, wiped off the fingerprints, and left the scene.

Although the murderer wiped away the fingerprints, he left shoe prints.

In addition to the shoe prints of the deceased woman, the police also found two different shoe prints at the crime scene.

Since this is a rough house, the ground is covered with dust and the shoe prints are well preserved.

A kind of shoe print is from a size 45 shoe, which is judged to be a sneaker.

A kind of shoe print is from a size 42 shoe. It is judged that it may be a leather shoe.

The tracks left by these two shoe prints in the house were strange.

The size 45 sneakers seemed to "circle" in a circle in this rough room on the second floor, and then left.

The size 42 leather shoes must have stayed here for a long time. Such shoe prints can be seen everywhere in the entire rough room.

In other words, there could be two murderers.

One of the murderers, who wore size 45 shoes, stayed here only briefly.

This person should be a man with size 45 shoes. Why is he walking around the house?

It can be inferred from the trajectory of the shoes that he entered the house, "looked" for a while in front of the location where the body was found, and then left. He should have "ran" when he left, because the distance between the shoe prints was obviously widened. .

The other person wears size 42 shoes, like leather shoes. He should also be a man, slightly smaller. He, who stayed in the house the longest, wiped away his fingerprints.

He should be the murderer of this woman.

No wallet or mobile phone was found next to the dead woman's body. Could it be a robbery?

It was not a robbery. These two people, or at least one of them, knew the deceased woman and had a deep relationship.

why? Let’s talk about the situation when the dead woman’s body was discovered.

People who are strangled usually have wide-eyed eyes, but the dead woman's eyes were closed and she was covered with a blanket.

Just imagine, if a robber or a stranger killed the deceased and took the money, he would definitely run away. Why would he bother to close the eyes and cover the deceased with a blanket?

Therefore, there is a high probability that the murderer knew the deceased and was killed by the wrong hand.

After killing someone he knew, out of guilt, he closed his eyes and covered the deceased with a blanket, which gave him psychological comfort.

The killer then wiped off the fingerprints, took the wallet, and staged the scene - like a robbery scene.

.

The first step is to determine the identity of the deceased woman.

Although there is no surveillance in the villa area on the top of the mountain, there is surveillance at the bottom of the mountain and at the entrance to the mountain.

However, we ran into trouble. Due to the recent renovation at the foot of the mountain, the original surveillance system was removed.

Searching for missing persons reports from this period was fruitless.

However, this does not trouble the police.

Since the female body was well preserved, the police took photos of the female body, made a portrait, and compared it with the identity information in the identity database.

Three days later, a discovery was made.

The deceased is suspected to be a 19-year-old woman named Qin Xue.

Qin Xue's father, Qin Anhe, was asked to come to the police station to identify the body, and it was confirmed that the female body was his daughter Qin Xue.

.

Coming out of the autopsy room, Qin Anhe was in a state of grief.

Xu Wenshan was in charge of the case. The two were sitting on the sofa. Xu Wenshan listened to Qin Anhe say intermittently: How could this be? How could Xiaoxue be dead? How could he be dead! Snow.

"She was murdered."

"Murder?" Qin Anhe's eyes widened.

"If you want to be sad, you should wait until the murderer is caught." Xu Wenshan handed over a tissue, "I will definitely catch the real murderer."

Qin Anhe wiped away his tears. He was 50 years old and had not shed tears for a long time.

Yes, now is not the time to be sad, there is still something to do, there is still something to do! Qin Anhe thought silently in his heart, cheered up, and turned his grief into hatred for the murderer.

Xu Wenshan asked, "Do you know that Qin Xue is missing?"

"I know, she hasn't been home for several days."

"Aren't you worried?"

"Actually, I know she was kidnapped." Qin Anhe took out his cell phone, and there was an anonymous text message on his cell phone.

The content of the text message read: Your daughter is in my hands. If you hand over 1200 million, I will let your daughter go. Do not call the police. Otherwise, you will know the consequences.

Xu Wenshan read the text message and asked, "Did you know she was kidnapped? You didn't call the police?"

"No."

"Then have you prepared a ransom? Have the kidnappers contacted you again?"

"No." Qin Anhe shook his head sadly, "I didn't do anything, I didn't care."

"Why?" Xu Wenshan was surprised.

He could understand that parents would be reluctant to call the police if they heard that their daughter had been kidnapped, but what he couldn't understand was that Qin Anhe didn't even prepare a ransom.

Is it because you can’t raise 1200 million?

Impossible. Qin Anhe is the boss of a foreign trade company. The company is not big or small, but Qin Anhe's net worth is at least tens of millions.

Qin Anhe said: "Actually, I always thought that Qin Xue kidnapped me."
