Criminal Investigation Files

For more than a week, it was either heavy rain or light rain.

The rainy season came one month earlier, and the quilts, sheets, walls, and floor tiles were all wet.When I go to bed at night, I feel that the sheets are wrapped around my body, as if water comes out when I turn over.Fortunately, after a night of rain last night, the weather was good this early morning, and it was rare to see the sun.

In the morning of the Nancheng Police Station, as always, the first team was relatively leisurely during this period, but the second team was busy under the leadership of Captain Tian Ming.

"Borrowed, borrowed!"

As soon as Song Wen entered the office, he heard Lao Jia yelling and walking through the corridor, holding a few cups of soy milk and milk, obviously helping everyone bring breakfast.Last week, the relationship between him and a few people in the team was a bit tense. This week, Lao Jia was extraordinarily attentive.

Seeing Song Wen approaching, Lao Jia sucked his stomach to make way for his boss. He tried his best to turn sideways, but the aisle was still narrow.

Song Wen glanced at Lao Jia's increasingly plump belly: "Oh, Lao Jia, looking at your figure, I have to remind you, don't miss the year-end physical fitness test. Now the city bureau has very strict requirements on criminal police. Bureau Gu also said that he would try out the last elimination system. These days it is even more difficult to recruit people, but the number of cases has not decreased. If you are eliminated again, it will be a non-combat reduction.”

Lao Jia smiled and said: "Don't worry about the assessment. I have been assessing for many years, and I have experience. I will grind my guns before the battle, and I will be unhappy. Besides, I have an appointment with a beautiful woman and go to the gym after work. If I am not full, how can I have the strength to lose weight? .”

Zhu Xiao chuckled: "When you go to the gym after get off work, you'll have to eat more breakfast. Your energy storage time is long enough."

"Year-end assessment? What is that?" Lu Siyu raised his head and asked, he was not familiar with these matters.

Song Wen glanced at Lu Siyu, he was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses today.A week later, the Band-Aid on Lu Siyu's face had been removed, and the wound had recovered quite well, and it was basically not obvious that he had been injured.I have probably had a good rest these past few days. The dark circles under my eyes from staying up all night have faded away, and because the sun has come out after the rain today, the cool air on my body has gone, and I look very white, tender and delicate, like a A big white rabbit toffee wrapped in a candy paper, exuding a unique milky smell.

Song Wen was about to explain the rules of the year-end assessment, but Fu Linjiang took the lead: "Being a policeman also requires an exam. The New Year's assessment mainly consists of physical examination, physical fitness test, and psychological test, which are similar to what you do when you enter the job. The team is mainly Inventory the cases, calculate the detection rate, and conduct a team summary.”

Song Wen looked at Lu Siyu, recalled Zhou Yining's phone call before, and deliberately tried to probe: "I think Doctor Zhou seems to be paying attention to you, and recently asked me about your situation."

Lu Siyu snorted, didn't say anything, and didn't give him any expression or reaction. He lowered his head and turned on the computer.

Song Wen looked at it, and it was eight o'clock. He greeted everyone: "Go back to your seat, you can't herd sheep if you don't have a case, Zhu Xiao, how is your electronic record done?"

Recently, the police station has started to implement electronic supplementation of old files. All paper case materials in the past have to be sorted into electronic versions. All the decades-old cases need to be dug out for scanning and storage. The first team has no cases, so the task falls to them.

Zhu Xiao evaded and said, "It's half done, and Lao Jia's side is still a bit unfinished."

Lao Jia hadn't finished his breakfast earlier, when a pot fell from the sky: "Oh, I'm the only one cleaning up the archives. You guys don't know that the old archives inside are moldy and moldy, and there are quite a few rats and insects biting them. The documents are all scattered, and you have to search page by page, how could it be so fast?"

Lu Siyu listened from the side and interjected: "I finished the report on the last case here, how about I organize it with you, so it can be faster."

Lao Jia didn't expect that his last case had been against Lu Siyu, but when it came to the critical moment, it was someone who extended a helping hand to him regardless of the past, and the old rascal's face turned red.

Having said that, Lu Siyu tilted his head, poked out half of his delicate face from the glass and asked Song Wen, "Captain Song, is it okay?"

Seeing Lu Siyu's attitude of asking for opinions, Song Wen could only wave his hands: "Go, go. Hurry up and tidy up, and finish this matter as soon as possible."

There are several archives in the Nancheng Bureau. The relevant personnel information and important documents are managed by a few girls from the archives department, and what they need to clean up here is to store the case.These files are arranged in several large cardboard boxes according to the year, and each box occupies a shelf.

Wearing gold-rimmed glasses, Lu Siyu stood in front of a shelf that was a head taller than him, and asked Lao Jia politely and politely, "Senior, where do I start?"

Lao Jia was terrified by his senior's call, coupled with the guilt of losing his temper with Lu Siyu in the last case, taught him in detail how to read the numbers on the shelf, and then told him: "You sort out the ones on the right. That shelf."

The archives room was fairly clean, but no matter how clean it was, it couldn't hide the humidity in the air, and it couldn't stop the mice and insects that came smelling the smell of paper.

Among those files, the older they were, the more severely damaged they were.

Lu Siyu moved down a box and began to open the files inside. This step is mainly to compare these files to see if there are any omissions. After preliminary sorting, he will file them for Zhu Xiao.Due to the long period of time, many files have been shuffled, and various recorded materials are scattered and need to be reorganized.

Humans are animals that can kill each other. These boxes contain the most sinful and darkest past of this city. There may be some things that the city has forgotten, and those who have experienced it have forgotten, but these archives are still recorded for them. with.

Lu Siyu asked Lao Jia: "Senior, these cases are still unsolved, right?"

"Hey, don't call me senior, just call me Lao Jia like everyone else." Old Jia heard that although the word senior was useful, he felt uncomfortable. He walked over and looked at the bag Lu Siyu was holding. The box, pointing to a red mark on it, said: "Yes, the boxes with this mark are all unsolved cases. In the past decades, the Nancheng Bureau has not solved cases. Except for 519, which has established a task force, they should all be here. .”

Lu Siyu's eyes moved, he looked at the box in his hand, then at the box on the shelf, and counted, there were seven in total.

Lao Jia scratched the back of his head: "The principle in our country is that a murder case must be solved, but it is just a principle. Many cases have become unsolved cases due to various reasons. Especially in the past, criminal investigation technology was underdeveloped, and even DNA could not be extracted. , so these cases are left behind, and every Chinese New Year, or when experts come down, some cases will be brought out for exposure and discussion, and if there are no clues, they will be put back."

Lu Siyu hummed, picked up a book and opened it. It was still recorded with a pen, and the handwriting was a bit scribbled, but it can be roughly seen that it was a vicious murder case.

Old Jia leaned over and said, "I remember that among the unsolved cases, there was an ax man who chopped up children. By the way, there was also the Dongqiao corpse case. I encountered it when I worked for five years. The whole person was arrested." It was divided into several pieces and blended into the cement that cast the East Bridge. Alas, there is also the most famous case with a large number of deaths, the case of the Wushan Nursing Home, the demon doctor Xia Weiwei, and he has not been caught yet.”

Lao Jia talked about the case, these creepy things are not stories, but things that really happened in this city.He seemed to want to prove that Lu Siyu didn't call "Senior" for nothing, so he casually told him about those unsolved cases.

Some of the murderers in these cases may have been disguised in the crowd, stopped killing, some may have emigrated, some may have been arrested for other crimes, and some may have simply died. In most cases, There will be no result either.

Lu Siyu had a delicate mind and a natural sensitivity to copywriting work. He listened to Lao Jia's narration, and his speed was much faster than him.Two boxes were sorted out in no time.

When he stood up and was about to continue, Song Wen suddenly opened the door and walked in.

"Lu Siyu, you go out with me." Song Wen then explained, "It's a business trip, going to Luning, with the forensic doctor. There was a case in the village over there, and I applied for assistance from the city bureau .”

There are seven counties under Nancheng, and there are villages under the counties. Generally, there are relatively few cases in the counties. Occasionally, serious cases occur. If the manpower is insufficient, they will apply to the city bureau for support. Similarly, if a major case occurs in the city, There will also be experts and forensic doctors in the province to assist in the investigation.

Lu Ning's case was discovered this morning, and several policemen over there rushed to the scene around nine o'clock, feeling that the matter was of great importance, so they hurriedly called here.

After Song Wen finished speaking, he looked at the stack of neatly coded documents beside Lu Siyu, and flipped through them casually. Every piece of paper was carefully sorted out, and the folded corners were smoothed out, just like The various documents he recorded were neat, and he couldn't help but praise him: "Well, you did a good job, and your speed is quite fast. These documents are enough for Zhu Xiao to scan for half a day."

Old Jia answered, "Xiao Lu, go, I can do it by myself."

Lu Siyu hummed: Then he put away his things and followed Song Wen out. Song Wen looked at him and smiled, "It's quite harmonious. I'm still worried that you two will fight together."

Lu Siyu didn't speak, and turned his head to look at Song Wen.

The two walked into the corridor, and Song Wen asked casually, "What were you talking about just now? Did I interrupt you when I came in?"

"It's nothing, it's just some past cases, and we chatted a little when we saw it."

Song Wen looked at him: "What case do you want to hear, you can ask me. No one in this police station is more familiar than me. We can also discuss those pending cases, maybe one of them can be solved."

Lu Siyu raised his head, the sun just hit his body, reflecting off his snow-white skin, he pushed down his glasses, and a ray of sunlight shone on his glasses, bringing out a ray of light: "Wait until next time Let's discuss when we have time, what's going on with Lu Ning's case now?"

Standing opposite him, Song Wen felt that Lu Siyu looked like he came out of a painting. From the bridge of his nose to his jaw, every curve was smooth and just right. He settled down and said, "A murder case, The specific situation is still unclear." The call was made directly to Gu Ju, and Song Wen knew the general idea, but the seriousness and danger of the case were enough to be known from the word Miemen.

"Then... How long will it take?" Lu Siyu reached out to turn off the computer.

"At least two days, depending on the progress of the case. Hurry up, we will drive there, and we will arrive before lunch, so we won't delay your meal."

Lu Siyu nodded, silently put the pens and papers in his school bag, and took out spare clothes from the drawer. In order to prevent sudden business trips, they put a copy of their usual supplies in the police station.

Song Wendao: "The surrounding county towns don't call for aid a few times in half a year. Who told you to catch up. Generally speaking, the cases in the county are more passionate and murderous, so it doesn't necessarily take a long time."

While talking, Song Wen and Lu Siyu got into the police car.When the two turned their heads, they saw Lin Xiuran sitting in the back seat wearing a well-fitting suit, with his hands in front of him and his legs crossed. He looked like a business elite going to the airport, not like a A forensic doctor who is on his way to the crime scene.

"Old Lin, are you going out in person this time? I thought it was Dragon Boat Festival or Xiao Zhang." Song Wen started the car.

"There are three victims this time." Lin Xiuran said, "Even with the help of Lu Ning's forensic doctor, it will probably take several hours. Their hands are too raw to fit."

Song Wen: "Hey, there are three corpses at once. Your job is much harder than ours."

Lin Xiuran said indifferently: "Just like you have endless cases to solve, these corpses are already a part of my life, just like eating and sleeping." It is a profession that cannot be lacked by the whole society.

The car drove all the way forward, the scenery changed, the window on Lu Siyu's side was opened a crack, and the wind blowing in ruffled his hair. He quietly listened to the two people talking without interrupting.

"By the way, did the second team's case come to a conclusion a few days ago?" Song Wen asked again.After Lin Wanwan finished the trial of the last case, he happened to see Lin Xiuran coming back from the funeral parlor, so he asked a casual question.

Lin Xiuran knew that the second team leader Tian Ming had always regarded Song Wen as an imaginary enemy, and that Song Wen also paid more attention to the second team, so he gave him a brief introduction: "After a while, the suspect has not been identified. The one that was discovered that day was a The female corpse was located in the wasteland behind the Lotus Hall, the corpse was a bit strange, the victim's face was covered with a silk scarf, the neck of the corpse was clearly strangled, the larynx was fractured, the cause of death was strangulation, and the murder weapon was stockings." He Said these in a deep voice, and the answers were coherent, like a few treasures.

After listening to the description, Lu Siyu put his fingers on his lips and bit them twice. When he was thinking and concentrating, his eyebrows were slightly fixed. At this moment, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he turned to look at Lin Xiuran.

"It took half a day to determine the identity of the deceased. It was a saleswoman named Li Ling." Lin Xiuran paused at this point, "The woman is 38 years old and lives in Qiaofang Street. The time of death was around [-] o'clock in the evening. Restored her itinerary, deduced that she was killed on the way home, the last surveillance found that Li Ling got off a bus, then disappeared, no witnesses, no clues, this case is quite difficult."

After talking about the case, the car became quiet for a while. Song Wen drove the police car off a section of the highway and turned onto the national highway. The further the car drove towards the county town, the worse the road conditions became.

Luning County is a small county, not too far from Nancheng. The place they want to go is the junction of the county town and the neighboring village. There are electric poles on the roadside, pulling black wires, and two-story small buildings are built along the road. , tiles are pasted on the outside of the building, and the distance between the buildings is quite far, which looks like the urban-rural fringe in the past.

Lin Xiuran had been here before and told them about Lu Ning's situation.

Going forward, the car passed a memorial archway and entered the mountain. After traveling a few kilometers on the Panshan Road, Song Wen turned to a mountain depression and saw two police cars parked in front of him. here."

Although this matter is under the control of the Luning County Police Station, this is actually a town below. This area has mountains and water, and it is a relatively independent small village called Mosquito Head Township.Because it is next to the county town and not far from Nancheng, many farmers make a living by growing tea. There are many tea gardens on the top of the mountain, and further down, there are all kinds of mountain products in the mountains, so this place is considered wealthy, not a remote place.

It's eleven o'clock in the morning, Lu Siyu packed his bag, and Lin Xiuran went to the trunk to get his forensic investigation case. It just rained last night in the mountains, so it was very cool, and his feet were a little muddy when he stepped on the ground.There are trees everywhere here, it is a natural oxygen bar, and various birds can be heard in the forest.

The family where the homicide occurred was located at the head of this place, sitting west and facing east, with a single courtyard, separated from several other houses tens of meters away.Lu Siyu looked up, it was a rare sunny day today, the sun made him slightly squint his eyes, there is a road in front of this place, and a few mountains behind it.The nearest mountain is not too high, it is a small hill about [-] meters high, and the top of the mountain is level.

Looking at it this way, the building of this family has a certain style, a two-meter-high wall encloses the small courtyard, and a double iron gate nearly three meters wide at the door is now half-hidden.

Just at this moment, an old policeman came out of the door, saw Lin Xiuran and rushed over as if he had seen a savior: "Oh, old Lin, you are finally here!"

Lu Ning had a rotting corpse case three years ago. The victim's body was basically decomposed when it was discovered, and the cause of death could not be found out. At that time, the city bureau sent Lin Xiuran over, and the case was settled in two days. Lu Ning's side The cooperating criminal policeman was this one. At that time, the elder brother cast all his heart on Lin Xiuran, and even dragged him to drink. Meet here again.

Lin Xiuran introduced them: "This is Captain Zhang Dahai of the Luning Police Station. He is from the Mosquito Head Village. So he is in charge of the security here."

Song Wen introduced himself: "My name is Song Wen, the captain of the first team of the Criminal Police Team of the Nancheng Bureau." Then he pointed to Lu Siyu and said, "This is my partner Lu Siyu."

Lu Siyu took out the notebook, and said hello obediently: "Hello, Officer Zhang."

That Zhang Dahai is a bit familiar, so I put a high hat on them first: "Oh, my right eyelid kept twitching last night, and I felt that something was going to happen. I answered the call to the police early this morning and brought someone to take a look. Everyone I panicked, but fortunately Bureau Gu sent someone here, and the three of them are elites from the Municipal Bureau, with you here, I feel confident."

Song Wen kicked the ball back calmly: "We are not familiar with this place, this time I heard that the case is serious, Gu Ju asked the three of us to come over to help, if you catch the criminal, your cooperation is indispensable." The implication is that We're just here to help, don't count on the three of us.

"Yes, yes, Team Song is right. Don't look outside, the people in our police station order it at will." After Zhang Dahai finished speaking, he pointed inside: "Then now... let's go take a look first?"

Lin Xiuran put on his gloves and asked, "I heard that three people died this time? It was a murder case. What's the situation?"

Zhang Dahai rubbed his hands and led them to the door: "Oh, this case is strange. This family was electrocuted to death."

"Death by electrocution?" Lin Xiuran paused, "Are you sure it was murder, isn't it some kind of electric leakage accident?"

These self-built houses are often not so standardized in power distribution, which has potential safety hazards.Electric shock accidents frequently occur in summer, the main reason is that people wear less clothes during this period, and the risk of electric shock is greater, and thunderstorms frequently occur during this period, the ground is wet, and the insulation resistance of electrical equipment decreases, and it happens to be the busy farming season, and electric shock accidents occur frequently .

"Sure." Zhang Dahai said and pointed to a place next to the door of the room.

Song Wen looked intently, and if Zhang Dahai hadn't pointed it out to him, he would have hardly noticed that it was a pulled wire, which was now tied to the top of the iron gate.

Naturally, this thing couldn't have appeared here for no reason, it must have been pulled here deliberately.

"We have already cut off the electricity. We didn't dare to take down the wires for fear of damaging the scene." Zhang Dahai opened the door as he spoke. "Don't worry, the scene is well protected by us."

In the small yard of this farm house, the rainwater accumulated by the rain last night has not yet evaporated. There are three dead bodies in the yard. The door in front of them is slowly opened, as if opening a door to hell...
