Criminal Investigation Files

After hearing what Song Wen said, everyone in the office was digesting the news.

Old Jia said: "Oh, what did I just say? It's just a dead body."

Zhu Xiao glared at him, "What Team Song told you has two meanings at all."

The corpse lying on the dissecting table is actually a person who died seven months ago. In today's society with complete procedures, no matter who encounters this, it will be a bit unbelievable.

But at the same time, information can help them solve the case, and can also cover up the truth.It is true that big data systems can count data, but many of these data are human-input or manipulable, so there is a possibility of error.

Zhu Xiao asked: "Returning the soul from a dead body, first of all there must be a dead body, then who was the person who was cremated before?"

Song Wen looked at it again: "According to the records in the system, the deceased died of a disease reported at home, and the forensic doctor at the police station of the sub-bureau inspected and confirmed that the cause of death was a disease, so he went to the health window of the convenience service center and issued a "death certificate". Afterwards, the family members used the deceased's ID card and household registration book to issue the "Resident Death and Funeral Certificate" and all the procedures were normal. If the person who died at that time was not Chen Yanqiu, it may have been a mistake by the staff."

In China, the procedures for the death of ordinary residents are not complicated and do not require too much consideration.The main procedure is to need a certificate, which is the so-called "Resident Death Medical Certificate", referred to as the death certificate. With this, you can declare the death registration to various registration agencies and cancel your household registration.

The medical certificate of death is not difficult to obtain. It can be issued by medical and health units, neighborhood committees, and health stations. For unnatural deaths, grassroots departments of public security can issue it.

There are even some hastily cremated, and the cremation certificate issued by the funeral department can still be reissued.

Every day, every month, every year, there are too many people who die, and it is impossible to check each corpse in detail. Generally, if there is no error in the investigation, it will be released.

The city is relatively strict, and some villages have a lot of chaos. A handwritten note can prove a person's death.

Song Wen remembered that he had watched an episode of the rule of law program in the past. An old man's body was issued with an extra cremation certificate, so a murdered body was cremated. Fortunately, the police discovered this in time.

Lu Siyu looked at the records: "The corpse was a giant at the time, and the face could not be recognized. After the inspection, it was found that the deceased was seriously ill. There were various cases. The forensic examination belonged to natural diseases. In addition, the relatives who came to the police may have caused the death. Forensic and staff oversight."

If it wasn't Chen Yanqiu who died seven months ago, who would it be?Does his death have anything to do with Chen Yanqiu?How could Chen Yanqiu be stabbed to death more than a month later and left in that old chemical factory?

Song Wen said again: "To be on the safe side, let's check it as soon as possible. This Chen Yanqiu seems to have a younger sister? Call her over and ask, and I will let Lao Lin review the DNA of the deceased."

Chen Sixue didn't know why the police station suddenly called, asking her if she was free in the afternoon, and asked her to come over to the city bureau. She stroked the sunglasses on her face nervously. The glasses were so big that they almost covered half of her face. , and with the shoulder-length hair, only a small pointed chin is exposed.

This is the second time she has formally dealt with the police since she was a child. The last time she found her brother's body, the landlord's aunt called the police...

After Chen Sixue finished her middle shift, she hurriedly changed into her performance clothes without thinking about eating. When she came out of the hotel, she rubbed her stiff fingers and asked the front desk to help her take a taxi. , and then turned around and asked her: "Little girl, your eyes..."

Chen Sixue knew what the driver thought. She was petite and wore a pair of sunglasses on her face. She looked like a minor. In such a situation, her eyes looked sick.But if there is a problem with the eyes, how can the family rest assured that such a petite girl will come out alone?

She heard that the driver was a middle-aged man. Chen Sixue ignored him, put on the earphones, and pretended to make a call: "Yes, brother, I'm in the car. Don't worry, it's a regular taxi. Call the city bureau." On the other side, I have made an appointment with the other party's policeman. It will be there in about ten minutes." Then she adjusted her sunglasses, put her feet together nervously, and said in the direction of the driver: "Master, please go to the city police. Board."

The master saw that she was unwilling to answer and heard that she was going to the police station, so he stopped talking and the car under him started.Chen Sixue turned her head to the side and looked like she was looking out the window, but she was actually in a daze. She didn't know what the police station wanted her to do all of a sudden. After thinking about it, it might be about her brother...

After a while, the car stopped, and the master asked, "How do I pay?"

"Alipay."

The master froze for a moment, "The payment code is on the front, 18 yuan." He was about to pass the payment code to the passenger.Chen Sixue skillfully scanned it with her mobile phone, and then heard a reminder that 18 yuan was about to be paid. She pressed the fingerprint lock and heard the voice of successful payment.

The whole movement was extremely smooth, and the master was a little surprised when he saw it. For a moment, he didn't know if she really couldn't see, or if she was just wearing sunglasses. When Chen Sixue opened the door, she kindly reminded her, "The door of the police station is 20 meters ahead, on the right. I'm here The car couldn't go any further."

Chen Sixue thanked her, got out of the car, flicked the thing in her hand, it turned into a guide stick, and walked forward little by little.

The master looked at it before confirming it, and said with great regret: "Oh, it turns out that blind people can also scan Alipay." Then he sighed again, "Good little girl, she is actually blind..."

These few words reached Chen Sixue's ears without omission, but she had already become accustomed to it,

Chen Sixue skillfully walked to the gate of the police station, went up three steps and explained her identity to the people who came over. Someone immediately led her in and led her to a room.The person who brought her in went out. Hearing the sound of footsteps, two policemen came in and sat opposite her.

"Is Chen Sixue right?"

Chen Sixue nodded.

"Before asking you a question, please verify your identity information first."

Chen Sixue nodded again, and then answered a few questions cooperatively.

"Aren't your eyes invisible?" A policeman next to him asked.

His voice was a little different from the previous one. Sitting on the right side in front of her, he felt clearer and calmer.Chen Sixue has been asked this question countless times since she was a child. Some are malicious, some are joking, and some are casual. She has heard all kinds of tones a lot, and she can tell that although this person's question is cold, , but the voice was very soft, and there was no malice.

"I was born blind, and I'm used to it." Chen Sixue adjusted her sunglasses and blinked, "What's the matter you're looking for me today?"

"That's right, we found a male corpse last night in an old chemical factory outside the city. After inspection, we found that this corpse may be your brother Chen Yanqiu."

"My brother? That's impossible!" Chen Sixue denied it for the first time. She pursed her lips, then rubbed her hands together, as if she didn't want to think about it, "After my brother died... at that time... I took it And it was with the landlord, and I went through all the formalities myself."

"Now we are also verifying the results. As Chen Yanqiu's blood relatives, are you willing to provide the police with your DNA?" The policeman asked again.

Chen Sixue thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay, you can check."

The policeman on the opposite side went out, and after a while, someone came in, leading Chen Sixue to open her mouth and look up, and then something that felt like a cotton swab scraped her oral mucosa for a while.

"Okay." The man said softly, and the extracted DNA was put into the solution.

"How long will it take to get the results of this test?" Chen Sixue closed her mouth, moved her jaw and asked.

"Generally, three or four days." The policeman in charge of the inspection answered her.

Chen Sixue lowered her head, thinking in her heart, she was silent for a moment, then asked in a trembling voice: "You guys, will you tell me the result?"

"Of course, if it is confirmed that the deceased is Chen Yanqiu, we will check the omissions in previous work and notify you to claim the body after the verification."

Chen Sixue's left hand trembled slightly, and then she held it down with her right hand. Soon, the person in charge of the inspection went out, the door was closed again, and her head hung down.

"Your brother, is your important person?" The voice of the police came again.

"My mom... ran away from home when we were very young. I didn't hear of her death until many years later from a relative. My dad, died in an accident when I was 17. It can be said that , my brother is my dearest person in this world. In the past few years, we have come here by relying on each other."

"I want to ask about your brother's previous situation."

Chen Sixue heard the sound of flipping papers. The police must have conducted some investigations, but they still needed her retelling.

"My father left some money and a house after his death. Later, my brother and I lived together. My brother finished college and I graduated from a school for the blind. Later, my brother started working, and I played the piano in the hotel for Until two years ago...my brother was diagnosed with cancer during the physical examination at the unit..." Chen Sixue's voice choked up, and at that time, she almost felt like the sky was falling.

"Later, my elder brother's condition gradually deteriorated, he was unable to work, and often needed to be hospitalized. In order to see a doctor for his elder brother, our parents' savings were almost exhausted. We sold the house left by our parents to perform an operation on my elder brother. For his medicine money, I took over a few jobs and lived in the dormitory provided by the hotel, and my brother rented a basement in a residential area near the hospital."

"Where are your part-time jobs?"

"I play the piano in coffee shops and hotels... Sometimes I also take part in activities such as business openings." Chen Sixue paused and said, "The state has tax subsidies for the employment of disabled people. I play the piano well. They all want to take care of me."

"How is your relationship with your brother?" Song Wen asked.

"We have a good relationship. The money I earn from part-time jobs every month basically keeps my own living expenses and subsidizes them to my brother."

The policeman continued to ask: "Then why did you discover your brother's body so many days after his death?" If what Chen Sixue said before is true, then it is obviously unreasonable. His brother is seriously ill and she is not around Not to mention taking care, how could the relatives who are in frequent contact find the body after a few days?

Chen Sixue said: "Because my brother was sick and couldn't sleep well, he always put his phone on speakerphone. Before that, he often missed my calls. In addition, I had a lot of activities and was very busy in those few days. I didn't think much about it at first. I panicked when I tried to contact him for the first time and couldn't get in touch."

"Why didn't you go directly to him?"

"After all, I can't see with my eyes, so it's not very convenient."

"So it took so many days for this delay?" The policeman asked again, "It would be normal if it was a day or two, but this time...is too long."

Chen Sixue didn't speak, she bowed her head in acquiescence.

The interrogation continued: "How big is the basement that your brother rents? Does your brother live alone?"

"There are two rooms in the basement, with a bathroom and no kitchen. Sometimes there are short-term rentals for his patients. After all, it is the closest place to the hospital. Even if the environment is not good, it is easy to run back and forth."

Chen Sixue remembered that every time she went there, she could smell it. There was a musty smell in that room, and there was also an...indescribable smell. Probably, it was the smell of death... She knew it very well, and Chen Yanqiu felt it too. Clearly, he was waiting to die there.Thinking of this, Chen Sixue's hands were twisted together again.

"Before your brother died, did you know the person who shared the rent with him?"

"There were some patients who lived with him, and many of them lived temporarily. Later... there was a man named Zhang Rui, who had a good relationship with my brother, and lived with him for a long time." Chen Sixue said truthfully. , she knew the police would find those soon too.

"What do you know about this roommate of your brother's?"

"I can't see that person. I haven't seen him. He is about the same age as my brother. My family is in the countryside and I have a younger brother, so my parents don't want to pay for him to see a doctor. He... is sicker than my brother. It was heavier, and he was about to die. My brother probably felt sorry for him. At that time, he sympathized with him, waived half of his rent, and sometimes gave him his own medicine. Later, he couldn’t even pay the rent. My brother didn't drive him away...Later, I heard from my brother that Zhang Rui couldn't bear it anymore in the city, so he left."

"Later, when you found out that your brother was dead, who called the police?"

"At that time, because it was almost New Year's Day, I sent a text message to my brother asking if he was celebrating New Year's Eve together, but he didn't reply to me, and then I called him again, and the phone was turned off. I was a little anxious, and my brother left me After reading the landlord's contact information, I called the landlord, and when I came to the basement, as soon as I opened the door... I smelled a bad smell..." Chen Sixue lowered her head as she spoke, "The landlord said, my brother is lying on the bed, it looks like Been dead in the basement for days...the landlord called the police..."

"Although I'm sorry to say that, but... can you be sure that the corpse belongs to your brother?"

"The corpse was lying on my brother's bed, wearing my brother's clothes. My brother's mobile phone, wallet, keys, and ID card were all in the usual places. At that time, the landlord and I confirmed that it was my brother, and the forensic doctor also checked it. Said It was a normal death." Chen Sixue's lips trembled as she spoke, the loss of her only relative was undoubtedly a huge blow to her, her brother was once her dependent relative.After her brother died, the sky and the earth were big, but she was alone, alone...

Chen Sixue raised her head, then immediately lowered her head, frowned slightly, lowered her head and bit her lip, calmed down and continued: "Auntie Landlord is very nice, although she kept saying it was bad luck, she still helped me a lot, and helped me clean up. I found my brother’s belongings, and helped collect the corpse for him. At that time, I read the medical records, and the people who checked the scene at the Public Security Bureau thought it was a death, and issued a death certificate. The corpse was cremated two days later, and everything was done according to the rules.”

"And what about his roommate Zhang Rui? Have you ever been in touch?"

"After my brother died, I once sent group text messages to my brother's friends. At that time, he replied to me." Chen Guanjing recalled.

"What did he say?"

Chen Sixue recalled: "He said that he had returned to his hometown a week ago, expressed regret for my brother's death, thanked us for taking care of him all the time, and finally let me express my condolences." She took out her mobile phone, fumbled, and someone answered He took her mobile phone and came over, checked the text message, and returned it to her after a while.

"Has your brother ever had any friction with anyone or anything?"

"My brother...he has a good personality and has always been kind to others. He has never offended anyone."

"Then who is he mainly with?"

"Probably those doctors, nurses and patients? And those patients? After he got sick, we didn't communicate much, and I only went to see him on weekends." Chen Sixue lowered her head while speaking, she stammered Dearly asked: "Then what is it like now? That is to say, do you suspect that the person who died in the basement at that time was not the elder brother at all? And the one who died now is the elder brother?"

She hesitated for a moment, then continued to ask: "Then my brother, maybe he didn't die of illness, but was murdered?"

"Currently the case is still under investigation, and we are only looking into the situation, and there is no real evidence yet." The two policemen on the opposite side seemed to whisper for a while, and then one policeman said: "We have understood the situation you said, thank you With your cooperation, we have no problem for the time being, and we will contact you later if we have news, and we will send you out later."

"If you have any news, you must contact me as soon as possible..." Chen Sixue stood up as she spoke, and when she walked to the door, there seemed to be a box on the ground. He took her by the hand.

"Thank you..." Chen Sixue hurriedly stood up.

"Be careful." A voice came from beside her.

Chen Sixue recognized the voice, it belonged to the young policeman, but just now it was mainly another policeman who was asking questions, and he didn't say much.

Chen Sixue walked all the way outside, and the fresh air came oncoming, she was about to reach the door, and unconsciously took a deep breath.At this moment, she was suddenly pulled into a room next to her.

At that moment, Chen Sixue was caught off guard by the sudden situation, and yelled "Ah".Then she realized that this was at the police station, and she would never be hijacked at the police station.

The other party turned on the light.There were two people standing in the room, they were the two policemen who were interrogating her just now, the gentle and clean one was standing inside the room, and the other one was standing at the door, blocking her escape route.

"You... what are you doing?" Chen Sixue lowered her head and asked in a low voice.

"I hope you can tell us the truth so that I can find out the real cause of your brother's death." The policeman standing at the door spoke first.

"The truth? What I just said was the truth..." Chen Sixue said, but her voice trembled involuntarily.

The policeman who asked the question directly pointed it out: "Can you see it? Maybe you couldn't see it before, but at least you can see it now."

"What are you talking about, officer?" Chen Sixue took a step back. She wanted to get out of this room, but her escape route was already blocked by someone.

The young policeman at the door turned his head sideways and said: "First of all, during the questioning just now, I discovered that your eyes respond to the lights in the interrogation room. So, my partner and I discussed it and put I bought an empty courier box to test you. You have a guide stick in your hand. As a person who has been blind for 20 years, you should be able to judge the correct direction of the door. The box we put is not at the front door, but It's on the side of the door. As a result, we all saw it just now. You walked straight towards the box and almost tripped over it. Because you were pretending that you couldn't see it, and thought it would be more realistic to bump into it, but instead you exposed your flaws. And , I pulled you into this room, if you can't see it, why are you asking what 'we' are going to do?"

Chen Sixue's secret was exposed, she blinked her eyes behind the sunglasses, her face became paler, she shrank into the corner of the wall for a while, bowed her head and said nothing, she was originally small and thin, so she looked even more pitiful.

The policeman's tone softened: "Don't be nervous, we just want to understand the situation and find the person who killed your brother." Then he looked at Chen Sixue with sharp eyes, "Of course, the premise is that you cooperate with our work, you If you continue to say that your eyes are still blind, we don't mind going to an ophthalmologist for an appraisal."

"Well, my eyes can see, but I didn't lie about other things..." Chen Sixue lowered her head guiltily as she spoke.

"We are hurrying to solve the case, so there is no need to waste everyone's time with lies." Another cold and handsome little policeman finally said, "During the interrogation just now, you did express your doubts and disapproval at the newly discovered corpse. Brother's concern...but you missed one question."

"What... what's the question..." Chen Sixue stammered.

The man looked into her eyes and said in a quiet voice, "Who died in the basement?"

Then the young policeman raised his head and looked at the girl. His eyes were shining under the light of the room, as if there was water in them. His jaw nodded, and he blinked slightly, his eyelids were slightly curled. She got down, and raised her long eyelashes suddenly, her eyes flashed like starlight: "As a young girl, you went to collect a corpse in the basement, even if you were accompanied by the landlord, it is still a dead body. The most terrifying experience, even if you can't see it, the smell of the corpse, the experience of being close to death, can still be unforgettable for a lifetime, but why don't you care about who died if it wasn't your brother?"

Unless, say, she knows something.

For example, she had long been certain that the person who died was Zhang Rui.
