Profiler 2: Criminal Investigation Brigade
Chapter 67 Fireplace
Because there are no more clues besides the investigation around the airport, just follow what Lu Yuanli said, and go back to the original point.The police force monitored people around Zeng Wenyuan, such as his current lawyer, company assistant, vice president and other senior staff, as well as his wife and children, in order to find new clues.
Jiao Yang said: "Not yet. I want to go to the antique market."
"good idea!"
Lu Yuanli couldn't help giving him a thumbs up.
They found out when they checked the background information.Zeng Wenyuan likes to collect all kinds of antiques.And things like sandwich pots are definitely not produced in modern times. This is indeed a very interesting direction of investigation.
In the villas in the southern mountain area, a team drove in early in the morning.A BMW in front, followed by five or six commercial vehicles, passed the inspection of the guards in a mighty manner.
A middle-aged man with a protruding chest got out from the leading BMW car.On the first commercial vehicle, a young man with good eyebrows and good eyes jumped down, and called the middle-aged man "Mr. Li" one after another.
Li Gang, the assistant to the general manager of Bangchen Building Materials, said to the young man opposite: "Qian Zheng, it's no problem if you want to make money. Give me a beautiful job, and the decoration will be completed quickly and economically. I will satisfy Mr. Liang and help you. In other words, you will definitely have plenty of work to do in the future!"
"Yes, it is Mr. Li, don't worry, my workers here are all experienced, and they are quick at work!"
Opening a small decoration company, he managed to get a big job with money, and he nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice.
Li Gang took out the key and led everyone in.
In a villa that has been unoccupied for a long time, a musty smell burst out as soon as the door was opened.The dust had accumulated to a thickness of two feet, and the furniture and furnishings were crumbling and in a mess.
Qian is directing the workers, one group cleans, and the other group checks water and electricity and other safety hazards.
The foreman, Old Sun, turned his head and saw a conspicuous fireplace in the corner of the living room, and said casually, "Why is there such a thing?"
Qian Zheng smiled and said, "Hey, a few years ago, it was popular to have a fireplace to look foreign!"
Old Sun thought, this is not a few years ago, it was clearly popular at least ten years ago.But you can't say that in front of the owner.Lao Sun followed Qian Zheng's words and said, "That's right, it would be nice to have a family gathering around the fire and having a party in winter. Especially during Christmas, put a Christmas tree next to it!"
Qian Zheng nodded and bowed to Li Gang and asked, "President Li, is this fireplace for decoration or is it really functional?"
Only then did Li Gang take out a blueprint, handed it to him and said, "Look for yourself!"
Qian Zheng studied the original design drawing, and said with a smile: "If it works, it's Mr. Li. We don't have this design in our current design drawing. Do we want to tear it down?"
Li Gang said impatiently: "It's outdated a long time ago, so hurry up and tear it down!"
Qian Zheng compared the new design drawings, marking out several structures that needed to be dismantled, and showing them to Li Gang.
Li Gang glanced at it, and waved his hand, "Tear it down! Mr. Liang doesn't want any of these furniture and electrical appliances. You will deal with them later. If you look good, you can pick them out and use them yourself."
Qian Zhengxin said, the furniture and electrical appliances that have been idle for seven or eight years can still be used!However, this is a two-story building with a total of four to five hundred square meters.Although there are only furniture and electrical appliances in the living room and two guest rooms on the first floor, the scraps should be worth a lot of money, so I happily agreed, "Mr. Li, don't worry, I will leave everything to me!"
The foreman, Old Sun, looked at a few cupboards piled up under the fireplace, and ordered the workers to move them away. He set up a ladder and went up to check first.
Although it is broad daylight, the inside of the flue is also very dark.As soon as Lao Sun turned on the flashlight, he raised his head and looked up, and he let out a "wow", and fell off the ladder in fright.
In the narrow chimney, there was a completely dried corpse stuck.
"Dead, dead!"
Lao Sun lay on the ground trembling, out of breath, and said, "There's a dead man in the chimney!"
The decoration workers in the hall made a mess, and some timid ones dropped their tools and ran away.
Some workers yelled: "Qian Zheng, aren't you cheating? How can you take over the house where someone died? Quit it, quit it!"
There were also bold workers who came over to look at it, and talked freely, "Oh, how did this die? What are you doing in there?"
Qian Zheng didn't care about any big business at this time, he grabbed Li Gang and said, "Mr. Li, why have people died in your house? Could it be that your boss killed him?!"
"Don't, don't talk nonsense!"
Li Gang was already frightened, and he said bravely: "Our President Liang has gone abroad a long time ago, and the whole family is not here, how can we kill people?! Such a nice person, how could he come here for no reason? It must be Xiao, Thief, trying to sneak in to steal something, but got stuck!"
Only then did Lao Sun breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Stop guessing, call the police!"
In the scenic villa area, a mummified corpse appeared in the chimney of a single-family mansion that had not been inhabited for a long time. This kind of case is comparable to a late-night ghost story and is witnessed by many people at the same time. It is really easy to cause social panic.
The death of the deceased was bizarre and the scene was horrific. After the workers called the police, the police were immediately involved in the investigation.
Jiao Yang led a team to the scene quickly and used some fire-fighting equipment to "invite" the deceased out.
After preliminary examination of the body, Zhang Benchun said: "The deceased was completely naked. He was not very old by visual inspection. He was about 20 years old. There seemed to be some slight wounds on his body from being hit by a hard object. The time of death... let alone a few years. The deceased was curly. In the narrow chimney pipe of less than 40 cm, the fingers of both hands were damaged, and there were signs of struggling to scratch the wall. The cause of death is speculated to be stuck in the chimney, and died of freezing and starvation after being unable to move for a long time.”
"There are still scars..."
Jiao Yang looked at the chaotic scene that was almost completely destroyed because many people entered, and scratched his hair involuntarily.
"The fireplace in the villa on the barren hills, the naked body of the young man in the chimney."
Lu Yuanli came in and walked around, saying, "This is really excellent material for writing horror novels, and I look forward to Team Jiao's courage to solve the strange case."
"Spoken nonsense again!"
Jiao Yang squinted at him, stuck out his tongue secretly, and waved his right hand, "Professor Lu, please start your performance."
Lu Yuanli called the foreman Old Sun who was still trembling, "Are you the first to find the body?"
Old Sun stuck out his tongue and said, "Yes, yes."
Lu Yuanli said, "Tell me about the situation at that time."
Old Sun raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Our boss, Qian Zheng, and I came to work, and there is a very conspicuous fireplace here. He asked the owner, and he said no, and let it be demolished. I called They moved away, those clogged up messy furniture, first came up to see if there were any potential safety hazards, such as the accumulation of carbon ash, whether it would cause an explosion, etc., I saw it unexpectedly..."
"Wait a moment."
Lu Yuanli said: "That is to say, when you came, there were a lot of furniture piled up under the chimney of the fireplace. Is that right?"
Old Sun nodded and said, "Yes."
Lu Yuanli smiled, and said anxiously, "My job is over, I'll leave it to you."
This means that it is very likely that there was a second person in the villa at that time!Jiao Yang's eyes flashed sharply, and he walked up to the old grandson and said, "Then these furniture, are they sealed, and the chimney leads to the road below?"
Old Sun was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Well, I was too flustered at the time, I, I really didn't pay attention...Officer, wait a moment, I'll ask them."
Lao Sun called Qian Zhenghe and several workers over, asked each of them one by one, and they all said different things.
Jiao Yang scratched his head, looked again, and found that almost all of the on-site furniture and furnishings had been moved. He called Hou Xiyong and said, "Call Boss Zhu and beg him to bring reinforcements as soon as possible. The other comrades try to stand by as much as possible. !"
If there was really a second person at the scene, then this incident probably wasn't an accident, and this other person was the murderer.
Do you know what furnishings were moved by the deceased and by the other person?The physical evidence at the scene must be inspected one by one, and fingerprints, body fluids, etc. must be extracted.
In addition, the 20 or so decoration workers at the scene had to collect DNA and fingerprint samples separately to avoid misjudgment.
Hou Xiyong came back and said, "Boss, the doors and windows on the balcony were found damaged in the backyard, which seems to be vandalized."
"Okay!" Jiao Yang said, "Let's go and have a look."
Jiao Yang went over and found that on the closed balcony window, two steel bars were broken by a hard object, and there was half a brick thrown beside it.However, due to the age, wind and rain and other reasons, other traces can no longer be distinguished by the naked eye.
The two of them took pictures and collected the bricks together as physical evidence.
At this moment, Jiao Yang called to stop Li Gang and said, "Jiao Yang, captain of Jiangcheng Criminal Investigation Serious Case Brigade, Mr. Li, I would like to ask you about the situation. Excuse me, is this villa yours?"
From the time of the incident, Li Gang has been yelling bad luck by the side.At this time, holding a cigarette, he gasped and said, "Officer, how can I afford to buy this kind of house? This is our Mr. Liang's."
Jiao Yang said: "Then where is your Mr. Liang now? We also want to ask him to know the situation."
Li Gang grinned and said, "I'm sorry, he's still in the US! If you have any questions, please ask me first!"
Jiao Yang frowned and said, "Mr. Liang, when did you go abroad? Has no one ever lived in this villa?"
Li Gang said: "We, Liang, have always been in the building materials business. We couldn't tell if anyone lived there before. This villa was paid for by someone else. He has so many houses that he can't live in them at all, but since he can't take them in Money is better than nothing! Don’t you think so? His whole family went abroad seven or eight years ago. He is planning to return to China recently, so let me handle it.”
"Hmm." You dealt with this and the case came to light...Jiao Yang said, "May I ask, do you know the deceased? Could he be Mr. Liang's family or a friend?"
Jiao Yang said: "Not yet. I want to go to the antique market."
"good idea!"
Lu Yuanli couldn't help giving him a thumbs up.
