Criminal Investigation Notes

Early the next morning, all the materials had been prepared in the meeting room of the Serious Crime Squad.

The forensic autopsy report, the detailed records of physical examination, and the investigation records of the crime scene were all placed in front of Lu Junchi.

Qiao Ze took the initiative to report that his hair was curled, and he kept pressing the curled strand of hair with his hands.

"We have conducted an investigation based on the list of missing young men recently, and we have confirmed the identity of the deceased in the second bucket..."

While introducing, he announced the certificate and information of the deceased on the projection.

"The victim's name is Guo Chengfeng. He is from Huadu. He is unmarried and 38 years old this year. He runs a well-reputed Guo's private restaurant. The business of the restaurant is very good. A month ago, his sister reported his disappearance."

The man in the photo is slightly fat, with a rosy face, and looks simple and honest. It is difficult to connect with the scorched yellow corpse that was soaked yesterday.

"I checked review websites and Baidu information. Guo Chengfeng used to stay in a five-star hotel and was good at Huaiyang cuisine. Later, he went to learn Western-style meals and began to cook some new creative meals that combine Chinese and Western cuisines. His dishes have also won some food festival awards and are very famous. The Guo’s private restaurant requires reservations and only accepts regular customers, and has a good reputation. The restaurant has made a lot of money in recent years.”

"What about the victim in the first bucket? Have you found any relevant information?" Lu Junchi asked.

"The identity of the deceased has not been found yet, but during yesterday's on-site inspection, I found something..." Qiao Ze pressed the projection again as he spoke, and there were several fingerprint comparisons on it, marked with red × dots Indicates that the fingerprints match, "These are several sets of clear fingerprints extracted by Wujian from the iron bucket where the first deceased was located yesterday, and they completely match Guo Chengfeng's fingerprints."

In other words, the fingerprints of the second deceased who died a month later appeared on the corpse barrel of the first deceased who died two months ago.

Qiao Ze further elaborated: "Those fingerprints are on the body of the barrel, and some are on the top of the barrel. I think it may have been caused during the process of moving the iron barrel. Guo Chengfeng is also strong enough to take the first person Victim stuffed in."

Qu Ming frowned, and gathered these clues together in his mind: "Is it possible that the first deceased was killed and abandoned by the second deceased?" He paused and then said, "Then the second deceased Who would kill the deceased? Someone wants to avenge the first deceased? Or what is the reason? What happened to the woman who abandoned the corpse?"

Hearing this, Su Hui lowered his head, looked at the printed information about Guo Chengfeng, and remained silent.

The clues found so far are still difficult to answer these questions.

"The confirmation of a victim is considered a major progress, and there is finally a connection between the two iron barrels, which is already a great breakthrough." Lu Junchi sorted out his thoughts and said, "Then let's take Guo Chengfeng's younger sister first. Call over and ask about the situation."

Joze just said hello.

Lu Junchi said again: "Wait a minute, is Guo Chengfeng's private restaurant closed or open?"

Qiao Ze was stunned for a moment: "It seems to be open, it's his sister who is running the business."

Lu Junchi's eyes fell on the autopsy report of the first corpse: "According to the examination, there were a small amount of peanuts, diced radish, fungus and some pickled snail meat clearly visible in the stomach of the deceased, which looked like an appetizer. If the murderer is Guo Chengfeng, then the private restaurant may be the scene of the crime."

He raised his head and said, "Xia Mingxi applied for a search warrant, Qiao Ze, Mr. Su, let's lead a team over there to have a look. The others will continue to trace the identity of the first deceased, as well as check Guo Chengfeng's social relations. connection."

Guo's private kitchen is not too far away. It is located in an alley in the south of Huadu City. The whole restaurant is remodeled from an old house in the past. cornices.

In addition to Su Hui and Qiao Ze, Lu Junchi also brought a few policemen and material reference.

After Guo Chengfeng disappeared, the chef of the private kitchen became his two apprentices.There were not many people in the restaurant, only a few helpers and waiters were there.

Guo Chengfeng's younger sister is called Guo Jinqiu, and she has arranged not to pick up the guests temporarily. When she saw a team of policemen coming, she greeted them, checked the search warrant, and let them in.

Guo Jinqiu is 28 years old this year. She is not tall, very thin, dignified and elegant. She has her hair tied up and wears a dark blue embroidered cheongsam. She leads them to the front hall.

There are three entrances and three exits here. The front and back yards are transparent. Outside the carved window lattices, there are large transparent glass windows, so that you can have a panoramic view of the outside scenery at a glance.

There are about four tables in the front hall, and the other rooms are scattered for guests to choose from. The small cubicle on the top floor, the pavilion in the backyard, and beside the bamboo forest can all hold seats.

The Biologists began to work in the front hall and backyard, while Lu Junchi asked Guo Jinqiu for questioning, and Qiao Ze was following along to record.

Su Hui didn't sit down. The scenery of this private restaurant is unique. He saw a big patch of hazy green in the backyard from a distance, so he followed those materials to the back, and walked deep. His walking stick was empty. to the road...

Lu Junchi and Guo Jinqiu were asking questions. Seeing Su Hui's thin figure walking back, he called out from a distance, "Teacher Su, be careful, there is a lake over there."

Su Hui stopped, squatted down, and then he saw clearly that there was a small artificial lake under his feet. The water in the pool was green and connected with the grass.

There were fish in the pond, obviously they were used to being fed, and when they saw someone coming, some koi swam over.With its mouth open, it moved in the water.

Seeing that Su Hui didn't move forward, Lu Junchi heaved a sigh of relief, and turned around to ask Guo Jinqiu, "Did you call the police about your brother's disappearance?"

Guo Jinqiu nodded and said, "Yes, have you found him yet?"

Lu Junchi said: "Miss Guo, we found Mr. Guo's body, the forensic doctor is currently conducting an examination, and will notify you to go to the city bureau to claim it..."

Guo Jinqiu had tears in his eyes, and wiped his eyes with a tissue: "I'm sorry...Although I have a little premonition in my heart, but I still hear this..."

Lu Junchi nodded to express his understanding: "It's okay, I'm still asking for your condolences."

After Guo Jinqiu cried for a few minutes and stabilized his emotions, Lu Junchi continued, "I want to ask, did your brother have any troubles with anyone before he was alive?"

"Festival? No..." Guo Jinqiu wiped his tears, "My brother is honest and responsible, and has never blush with anyone..."

As soon as she finished speaking, the object guide in the yard called out: "Captain Lu, we found some bloodstains beside the rockery!"

In the quaint old house, it can be warm in winter and cool in summer without turning on the air conditioner. Today there is a breeze, and the bamboo in the courtyard is rustling. If this group of people came here to taste delicious food instead of investigating murders, then the beautiful scenery is enough It's intoxicating, it's a pity...

A line of hidden bloodstains in the yard made everyone nervous.

After listening to Wujian's words, Guo Jinqiu's face paled visible to the naked eye.

Lu Junchi followed the case and asked again: "Two months ago, did Guo Chengfeng have a fierce conflict with someone here?"

Guo Jinqiu lowered his head and thought about it for a moment, then said in a trembling voice: "There was a night when my brother said he wanted to entertain guests and didn't let us come to work."

"Who is the other party?" Lu Junchi continued to ask.

Guo Jinqiu said: "I don't know, I wasn't there that day..." After saying this, she lowered her head again.

Lu Junchi judged her statement and felt that she was lying. He turned his head and looked at the yard beside him. Su Hui finally left the artificial lake, and walked towards the rockery with his cane to explore the way.

After a while, Wujian reported again: "Captain Lu, we found some broken glass in the yard."

There are many rockeries in this yard, and the ground is full of small stones, which are difficult to clean up. Even after a long time since the fight, there are still many traces left.

Lu Junchi called out and asked, "Is it a piece of glasses?"

"No, the thickness is different." He Wei picked up the shattered glass and looked at it carefully, "It's like the lens of a camera."

Guo Jinqiu's pale face turned green again. She was still pretending to be calm, and wrote lightly: "It may be that there were guests taking pictures in the yard before, and the camera was dropped. Our side has a good view, and guests often sit in the yard to eat , by the way, to take pictures of the wedding dress..."

As she spoke, her fingers were already twisted into a ball on her clothes with guilt.

"Team Lu! There is a blood-stained piece of glass here! Hidden under the rockery, it has not been polluted by rainwater." He Wei became more and more happy with his new discovery.

Guo Jinqiu's lies were exposed again and again, and he couldn't hold back anymore: "Maybe someone scratched his hand and accidentally dripped it on it."

Lu Junchi said, "Whose the bloodstain belongs to, you can find out with a test." Then he looked at Guo Jinqiu, "Miss Guo, I think it's best for us to save time."

At the same time, he was judging whether the woman in front of him was the woman who abandoned the corpse. In the past cases, it was not uncommon for her to report to the police and disappear after killing her relatives.

In the end, Lu Junchi judged that it should not be Guo Jinqiu. This woman is too thin and her height does not match. With her physical strength, she can't cooperate with others to put the tall and strong Guo Chengfeng into the oil barrel.

However, the woman in front of him must know something.

Guo Jinqiu cried again for a while, picked up a tissue and wiped the tears on his face, and finally choked out a sentence: "My brother had a little conflict with a photography guest, that is, they scuffled and the camera broke. Well, I wasn't there that day, but my brother told me afterwards..."

Guo Jinqiu was really not good at lying, the more she repeatedly emphasized that she was not there, the more Lu Junchi confirmed that she was there.

Lu Junchi said in a deep voice: "Your brother didn't let other service personnel come that day. It wasn't a temporary idea, it was a long-planned plan. The photographer came with a camera, probably for some reason, the victim ate some side dishes , it means that your brother had a chat with him beforehand. His camera was broken in the yard because someone had murderous thoughts. The photographer couldn’t put down his camera if he wanted to run away. They had fought in the yard before, so it was there There will be a shattered camera lens and blood stains..."

Speaking of this, Lu Junchi narrowed his eyes and looked at Guo Jinqiu: "Miss Guo, we found the body of a victim who was stabbed with 27 knives. We suspect it has something to do with your restaurant. I know you want to keep the secret and don't want to affect the restaurant." business, but if you do not report to the police and hinder the police from handling the case, you will also go to court. Are you still unwilling to tell the truth? "

After hearing Lu Junchi's words, Guo Jinqiu's tears fell faster, her shoulders trembled, and she cried more sadly than when she heard the news of Guo Chengfeng's death.

Lu Junchi locked his eyes on Guo Jinqiu, and continued to interrogate: "We conducted some investigations before we came here. Your brother is popular and has no financial disputes. What happened between him and that photographer? Why did he stab him 27 times in a row? What about killing the photographer?"

This case didn't look like a vendetta or a murder for money. Lu Junchi judged that it was most likely a murder of love.

As soon as these words came out, Guo Jinqiu's face turned green, and he scolded fiercely: "It's all caused by that woman!"

Seeing that she was finally willing to speak, Lu Junchi pointed to the tables and chairs beside him: "Miss Guo, sit down, and please tell us everything you know."

In the yard, Su turned around, but couldn't see anything clearly. He turned his head while holding the cane, and walked in this direction. When he entered the courtyard, Guo Jinqiu just started to tell what she knew.

Guo Jinqiu stabilized his mood for a while and said: "Six months ago, my brother met a beautiful woman by chance. She wanted to learn how to cook a few dishes from my brother. As a chef, those secret recipes for cooking It’s not rumored, and only my brother and I know many ingredients. I thought that the woman would be rejected, but I don’t know what method she used. She pestered my brother for a few days, and my brother agreed to teach her. gone."

Qiao Ze asked while recording, "What's that woman's name?"

Guo Jinqiu's eyes were red: "Her name is Chen Shanshan."

She continued: "Since then, that woman has often come here to learn how to cook with my brother, and sometimes also helps in the private kitchen. My brother taught her to teach her carefully and taught her a lot of his own skills. Later, I don’t know what happened, but the relationship between them became close. My brother also asked me if she would be my sister-in-law. Looking for a partner, if you can find a woman to spend your life with, it would be a good thing to help us open a private restaurant together. I even bought a gift for her at that time, and wanted to have a good relationship with her..."

Speaking of this, Guo Jinqiu gritted his back teeth: "But who knows, that woman is flirtatious. She introduced a photographer named Wu to take pictures, but in fact she and this man are also ambiguous."

Qiao Ze reminded again: "What's that man's name?"

"It's called Wu Chenguang."

Qiao Ze hurriedly recorded it, this is probably the name of the first deceased.

Guo Jinqiu wiped away his tears: "My brother found out later that he really wanted to marry that woman. How could he have thought that he would be made to wear a green hat on his head... such a thing, probably a man can't stand it."

"That night, my brother originally called Chen Shanshan and the woman surnamed Wu to confront each other. The other waiters didn't let me in, so I was left to cook and serve in the back kitchen. At that time, I heard the quarrel in front of me. When I went out, I saw the man surnamed Wu lying on the ground, covered in blood... That was the first time I met a dead person. The body fell behind the rockery in the yard, and it was so big that it was stained red. One piece, I was scared out of my mind."

When Guo Jinqiu recalled that scene now, she still seemed to feel terrified. Her expression became frightened, and she stretched out her hand to cover her face.

It sounded like Guo Chengfeng had indeed murdered and abandoned the corpse.Lu Junchi frowned and asked, "Was Chen Shanshan at the scene when the crime happened? What did she do?"

Guo Jinqiu sobbed: "She was standing by the side, crying all the time, my brother later said that it had nothing to do with her, that she would not call the police, so he let her go back.

"What about the things at the scene of the crime? Such as murder weapons, cameras..."

Guo Jinqiu shook her head: "I don't know, the murder weapon and the body were all handled by my brother, and I only helped to clean the room and the yard." She thought for a while and added, "That camera may have been taken away by that woman. "

Guo Jinqiu wiped his tears: "To be honest, I never thought that such an honest person like my brother would kill someone, and I never thought that my brother would still protect that woman after that happened. That A woman is like green tea, she seems to be on multiple boats, I haven't thought that after that incident, my brother still hasn't broken up with that woman... In the end he also disappeared..."

Lu Junchi asked her, "Why didn't you call the police?"

When asked this question, Guo Jinqiu's tears kept rolling down his cheeks: "My parents died early, and my elder brother has always supported the family. It was my elder brother who helped me study and raised me...I can't do anything to report him. Come out... And at that time, I was too scared... I kept persuading him to surrender. My brother said that he could surrender, but he had to pass on those secret recipes to me and two apprentices. After thinking about it, it made sense. I was delayed for a while, but I didn't expect that in less than a month, my brother went out one day and never came back... I suspect that my brother was killed by that woman and her other lovers..."

"Which private room did the incident happen at that time?"

"It's the small hall with the best view on the west side. Later, I helped wipe that small hall with bleach. My brother gave the staff two days off and turned over the sand and gravel in the yard."

But there is always one thing in a hundred secrets, no matter how much a place where people have been killed is disguised, there will be a trace of clues left.

Lu Junchi asked the physical evidence to be collected at the scene, then turned to her and asked, "Does anyone else know about this?"

Guo Jinqiu shook his head: "Except for me and that woman, probably no one else knows..."

Now they finally know the identity of the first deceased, and also know the cause of the conflict.

Su Hui concentrated, this story sounds like an ordinary love murder case, but how could Guo Chengfeng die outside?And the murderer used the same method of dumping the corpse?Who was he killed by? Does this have anything to do with that woman?

He touched the cat's head on the cane, and looked towards the small yard in front of him. Just two months ago at night, there was a murder here. Three people in the room: two men and one woman, suddenly broke out in the room. There was a quarrel, and then a murder occurred in this yard.

27 knives, that may be a few minutes of crazy killing, from which he can feel the murderer's anger.

And that mysterious woman...was she standing there at that time, crying and watching all this?

Qiao Ze recorded for a while, turned on the computer, and began to search for information.Soon, Wu Chenguang's information was found. He was a 28-year-old photographer. He was young and handsome, and his height and shape seemed to match the No. [-] body found earlier.

Then Qiao Ze typed in Chen Shanshan's name again, and he gave a slight surprise, and pushed the screen to Lu Junchi: "There is no match."

The name Chen Shanshan is very common. Qiao Ze chooses fuzzy search, which means that related names or similar characters will also be displayed. Even so, there are still no young women of the right age.

Lu Junchi asked, "Are you sure that woman's name is Chen Shanshan?"

Guo Jinqiu nodded: "Yes, my brother called her Shanshan."

Lu Junchi: "Do you still have her ID number or other information?"

Guo Jinqiu flipped through his cell phone and reported a cell phone number.

Qiao Ze searched: "The head of the household is registered as a man in his 50s, not her own number."

Guo Jinqiu was a little stunned at this moment, sucked his nose, and muttered to himself: "My brother has been with that woman for a few months, and I see her often, but why is the name fake even now? The number is also fake? She...she..."

Speaking of this, her expression changed: "You don't think that woman is made up by me, do you? She has really been here for a long time, if you don't believe me, you can ask other shop assistants..."

A big living person, going in and out of the private kitchen, will naturally be seen by many people.

Lu Junchi said: "This woman may be related to this case, can you describe her in words?"

Guo Jinqiu hesitated for a moment and recalled: "She is about 30 years old, she is very good-looking, gentle and temperamental, especially her eyes, which are slightly protruding eyes. When she looks at you, it will make people I think, how should I describe it. It's a bit foxy, she...she is a vixen, when she looks at a man, she is seducing him..."

Qiao Ze asked, "What about her height?"

"She is about 1.6 meters tall, much taller than me. She is very hypocritical. When she is here, she serves tea and water, helps with work, and can chat with anyone... At first, I was also attracted by her. If you are confused, you still treat her as a friend!"

Speaking of this, Guo Jinqiu gritted his teeth and said: "It's all because of her! If it wasn't for her, none of this would have happened! My brother's life has been ruined by this woman! It's also possible that this woman killed my brother herself!"

At the end, her face became grim.

Su Hui reminded: "You said Wu Chenguang took some photos of her?" If you can find the location of the photos, you can further determine who this woman is.

"Ah! By the way, a photo!" Guo Jinqiu remembered now, "I don't know where Wu Chenguang's photo is, but I also have a photo here, which is a group photo of us before." She flipped through the album a few times, Make a picture bigger.He pointed to a woman in the back row.

Lu Junchi picked up the phone. It was indeed a very beautiful woman, who could be seen at a glance in the crowd.

Lu Junchi asked: "Do you have anything left by that woman here? For example, fingerprints, hair, etc."

Guo Jinqiu shook his head in a daze, but then nodded again, and ran to a side room to get a mirror out: "She used this mirror to dress up, check to see if there are any fingerprints left on it."

In the yard, the biologists had collected almost everything. Lu Junchi asked some more details about Guo Chengfeng before he disappeared, and then said, "Miss Guo, it's a criminal case, so don't leave this city anytime soon. If you need your cooperation, We will contact you again."
