Mystery Tracker 2

Turning the corner, the first thing that comes into everyone's sight is a clear warning belt.The strap was fastened at both ends to two protruding nails on either side of the corridor.Captain Liu lifted up his belt, and while letting Shen Yan and others pass, he introduced: "The owner of this guest house is called Cao Jinsheng. In fact, he and his wife opened this guest house together. They usually live here too. But in March A while ago, their girl had just given birth to confinement, and his wife went to the girl's house to take care of the confinement. Only Da Cao lived here occasionally. On the night when the crime happened, he came back in the middle of the night, but when he came in, he found Dan Something happened to them..."

Having said that, Captain Liu pointed to a dark mark on the ground in front of him, and sighed, "It's right here..."

At this moment, they are standing near the end of the small corridor—this small corridor is not long, only about ten meters, there is a door on both sides of the corridor, and there is another door facing the corridor at the end of the corridor. The windows are visible on the door, which leads to the outdoors.On the ground about three or four meters away from this door, there are a few obvious dark spots, which can be seen as the imprint left by the dried blood.

Shen Yan pointed to the door leading to the outside in front, and asked, "When does this door open?"

"This door is basically closed." Captain Liu shook his head. He pointed to several rooms on both sides and said, "Of the four houses in this block, the one on the right is where Da Cao and his wife usually live, and the one on the left is Their accounting room and worker’s rest room, these two are warehouses, where bedding, sheets and other things are stored. This door is required by the fire department, but it is usually locked and never opened.”

Shen Yan nodded.According to the file records, on the day of the incident, the murderer pried open the door, entered the building and began to steal, and finally escaped through here—during which, he also took the lives of two victims.

Shen Yan took his eyes away from that door, and looked at the four doors on both sides of the corridor—the door on the far left had a seal on it, and it should be the rest room where the first victim, Shi Tingting, was killed. Opposite it is the room of Cao Jinsheng, the owner of the guest house, and his wife.The two rooms closest to me are warehouses.Shen Yan looked at the four identical doors and asked Captain Liu: "Captain Liu, have the other three doors been pried?"

"No." Captain Liu obviously understood Shen Yan's intentions, and continued: "We have also noticed this, the murderer obviously knows what these rooms are for, and after he came in, he ran straight to the rich. This house is here, and it must be someone who knows the situation of this guest house. Before she died, Danzi also said that she knew the murderer, so we speculate that at least someone who lived in the guest house, but the guest house has been open for three or four years, and the people who lived there There are too many, we have been investigating along this line for more than a month, but we have not found any major suspects."

Listening to Captain Liu's narration, Shen Yan frowned slightly.

While Shen Yan was talking to Captain Liu, Cheng Jinsong and several members of the forensic team took the scene photos in the file and compared them with the scene in front of them.Seeing the end of Shen Yan's conversation, Cheng Jinsong came over and whispered in Shen Yan's ear: "It's been too long, and I can't see many details."

Shen Yan also saw the photos of the crime scene yesterday, and the traces of blood on the ground were very clear.However, three months have passed, and there are only a few dark marks left on the ground in front of my eyes.It seems that the details of the incident at the time need to be restored through other means.Thinking of this, he raised his head and asked Captain Liu, "Captain Liu, when will Cao Jinsheng arrive?"

According to the file records, Cao Jinsheng was the first to discover the scene of the case.There were only two employees on duty at the guest house that night—Shi Tingting and Liu Dan—and both of them were killed after seeing the murderer.

"Before your car arrived, I called him and asked him to come over. He should be here soon." Captain Liu replied.

Shen Yan nodded, then pointed to the room where the crime took place, and said, "Let's go inside and have a look."

"it is good."

Captain Liu walked over and tore off the seal on the door, and opened the room.

This is a small hut. The interior of the house maintains the same style as the outside. There are two old-fashioned wooden sofas against the wall on the left, two old-fashioned desks and chairs on the right, and an iron sheet on the right. There is a wardrobe and a single bed.Everything is quite old and some of the wood is peeling and peeling.The whole room was obviously still in the same state as it was at the time of the crime, with the cabinet door open and the drawers pulled out.It's just because the police have collected a lot of evidence, so the drawers in the cabinet are empty.On the ground more than one meter away from the bed, there is a chalk outline of a human figure. This is where the first victim, Shi Tingting, was found lying down.

Shen Yan looked at Cheng Jinsong beside him, and was about to ask him where he planned to start, when he heard footsteps outside, and they turned their heads together, only to see three middle-aged men, a man and a woman, appearing outside the cordon people.All three were about 45 or [-] years old, and the woman among them had an obvious eager look on her face.

Seeing those three people, Captain Liu frowned: "Second brother, didn't I tell you not to let you and sister-in-law come over?"

Before the man called the second elder brother by Captain Liu could answer, the woman on the side had already said, "Qingxiang, are these the comrades in the city you mentioned?"

An eager tone, accompanied by a look of anticipation.

Seeing this appearance, Captain Liu knew that it was useless to stop him, so he introduced to Shen Yan, "Captain Shen, these are my cousin and sister-in-law, who are Danzi's parents. The one over there is Cao Jinsheng."

Shen Yan nodded, he turned his head and said to Cheng Jinsong: "You check the house first, I will take someone to ask them first."

"Okay, I found something here and call you." Cheng Jinsong said.

"Ah."

Therefore, the two groups of people acted separately according to the usual practice.Shen Yan led people out of the cordon. He first comforted Liu Dan's parents, and then came to Cao Jinsheng.

"Cao Jinsheng, we are from the criminal investigation team of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. I believe Captain Liu should have told you about the situation of this case. We need you to tell me in detail again."

Cao Jinsheng had obviously been introduced to the situation by Captain Liu, and after hearing what Shen Yan said, he didn't have any extra doubts, and started to speak directly: "That night I went out to play mahjong with a few buddies, and we didn't break up until three o'clock in the middle of the night. It was too late at this hour, the girls and children had already gone to bed, I didn’t want to wake them up in the middle of the night, so I went back here directly. When I came in, I felt something was wrong, because there was no one at the reception Ordinarily, even if there is no one in the middle of the night, there should be one person on duty, and they should hear the movement when someone opens the door, at least they should come out to see. I thought it was strange, so I went inside to see who was on duty. The result was a turn When I came over, I saw that the door at the plug was opened, and then there seemed to be a person lying on the ground. I was startled, and yelled loudly twice, but the person did not move. Then I remembered that the corridor light was beside me, so I quickly Turn on the light... After turning on the light, I realized that the person lying on the ground was Danzi, with mops and other things beside him. I ran over quickly, and when I got closer, I realized that the back of Danzi's head was covered in blood... ..."

Although three months have passed, when talking about the situation at that time, Cao Jinsheng's expression was still a little frightened and regretful.Shen Yan watched Cheng Haiyang write down everything Cao Jinsheng said, and then asked: "When you found Liu Dan, where was she lying? How did she lie?"

"How did you lie down?..." Cao Jinsheng thought about it hard, and finally said with uncertainty: "It seems...the head is facing outwards...I remember when I came in, it seemed that the head was facing me..."

Shen Yan nodded: "And then?"

"Then, I saw that there was blood on her head and body, and I didn't know whether she was dead or alive, and I didn't dare to touch her, so I leaned close to her and yelled a few times, and then saw her twitch, I knew she was She was still alive, so I quickly turned her over, and only after I turned over did I realize that her stomach was also bleeding..." At this point, Cao Jinsheng shivered unconsciously, and then went on to say: "I saw her look so scary. It was so bad, I hurriedly called for help, and then a few people who lived upstairs ran down when they heard the sound, and then I heard someone yelling 'quickly call the police', so I remembered to call 110..."

There are wounds on the head and abdomen... Shen Yan wrote down the details, and then asked: "What happened after that? How did you find out that Shi Tingting also had an accident?"

"After I made the phone call, there were other people around me, and I didn't panic as much as I did at the beginning. Then I remembered that Liu Dan shouldn't be on duty alone at night, there should be another person. I just yelled so loudly, why? Didn't another person come over? Then I noticed that the door of the lounge was open, and when I went in, I found out that something happened to Tingting too..."

"What was the situation in the house at the time?"

"The room was in a mess, the drawers were opened, the cabinet was also opened, and Tingting collapsed not far from the bed. I went over and saw that she was out of breath..."

Shen Yan questioned Cao Jinsheng for a long time, and he never let go of every detail he could think of about the case. However, compared with looking at the file, the serious crime team did not gain more.Those questions that Cao Jinsheng could remember were already asked more than once by the Yunxi County Police.And some things that Cao Jinsheng couldn't explain clearly at the beginning, he couldn't recall clearly after three months.Seeing that it doesn't make much sense to ask this question, Shen Yan asked the last question: "Since the case happened until now, has this place been closed like this? Has anyone been here?"

Hearing Shen Yan's question, Captain Liu, who had been listening, said, "Don't worry about Captain Shen, as soon as the case happened, I told Da Cao that the scene of the crime should be kept as it is, and no one can move except our police. This big Cao knows."

While Captain Liu was speaking, Cao Jinsheng was also nodding his head.

"What about over there?" Shen Yan pointed to the two rooms at the end of the corridor and asked: "Aren't those two rooms your warehouse? How did you get things out in the past three months?"

"All the things have been moved out." This time it was Cao Jinsheng who answered, "After Lao Liu brought people here on the day of the accident, he sealed off my place at that time, and my shop did not open for half a month after that. At first, I thought about waiting for the case to be solved. After all, it just happened, and people who knew Xin’er’s guests probably wouldn’t dare to come and stay. After more than a month, I haven’t caught anyone, so I discussed with Lao Liu and said that I Keeping the door open here is not an option. Lao Liu told me that it is okay to open it, but this corridor must continue to be sealed. I said yes, you let me take out the things in the warehouse. So the next day Lao Liu led people to help me move out all the things in the warehouse. Then I nailed those two nails at the entrance of the corridor, and sealed the whole corridor. Everyone here knows that it is not allowed to enter here. , they will never come in."

"Your people know, what about those residents?"

"It's even more impossible for them." Cao Jinsheng shook his head firmly. "As you have seen just now, there is a reception area outside this corridor. If you want to enter here, you have to pass through that place. Now there are people at the reception area from morning till night. , outsiders are absolutely not allowed in.”

Hearing Cao Jinsheng's affirmative assurance, Shen Yan finally felt a little relieved.He asked Cao Jinsheng to wait outside for the time being, and then led him back to the staff lounge——

I only hope that there will be new gains from the forensic evidence.
