Criminal Investigation: Forbidden Rose

Early the next morning, a black GL8 drove into Tianshui Beiyuan.

From the architectural point of view, most of the owners in the community should be in good economic condition. Each building has only four floors, and the residents on the first floor have a yard in front of the door. The area is not large, but it is enough to grow several boxes of vegetables and put up a parasol. Put a set of tables and chairs for drinking tea.

What Xiang Houjun said is right, there are indeed a lot of stray cats in this community. Just when Xia Yi and Shao Lin stepped on the spot near Xiang Houjun's house, they met three stray cats. The cats here eat all of them. It was so round that it collapsed on the ground like a fluffy glutinous rice dumpling.They are not afraid of people either. When strangers pass by, they lie lazily on the floor tiles to bask in their bellies without raising their eyelids.

A group of people roughly figured out the building structure near Xiang Houjun, and then went to find the property.

Seeing the police coming, the property manager was somewhat nervous, and kept rubbing his hands: "Ah, yes, yes, there is indeed such a thing! Yesterday I called my husband to complain, saying that someone deliberately drowned the cat in the In the water tank in front of his house, tell us to remember to keep the evidence when we deal with it..." As he said, the little brother glanced at his colleague a little helplessly.

The older property staff quickly took the lead: "Mr. Xiang may be a superstitious person. He thinks that if a cat drowns in front of his house, his life may be in danger... He thinks it was intentional by others, but we The security guard checked the entry and exit records and monitoring. On Tuesday night, all the owners and their family members entered and exited. There was no suspicious person wandering around his house in the video. Officer, the law and order in our community is very good, and there are patrols at night. No abnormalities were found. We think that Mr. Xiang may be too sensitive—"

Xia Yi nodded, with no expression on his face: "Fuzi, you go to adjust the surveillance with the security. Where is the cat corpse?"

Soon, the property owner came back with a black plastic bag: "What's wrong with this cat? I think it died by itself and fell into it by chance... The lifespan of a stray cat is only 2-3 years. Wandering around the community last year alone..."

The moment the black bag was opened, the two property staff automatically retreated one meter away, and Yan Jingjing let out a "Hey" and pinched her nose with a bitter face.That is a big orange.The summer was hot, and the cat had been soaked in water again, but it took only a day and a half. Although it hadn't yet appeared as a giant, the rate of decay was much faster than usual.

Xia Yi leaned closer to fan the air, raised his nose, and suddenly frowned: "Wait, this smell... is a bit strange?"

"A little bit?" Yan Jingjing wrinkled her face into a ball, pinching her nose so that her voice was buzzing, "It's more than a little bit, this tm is a biochemical weapon!!! No, I'm leaving, vomit——"

"No, no." Xia Yi closed her eyes, pinched the center of her brows, but couldn't tell what was wrong with the smell for a while.After a while, he pushed the plastic bag in front of Shao Lin: "What do you think? Do you think the smell is not right?"

Although Shao Lin said that his back was straight, his face turned pale in an instant, and his entire core muscles were tense, so he almost didn't spit out his breakfast.

Xia Yi looked around: "None of you think this smell... like that... I can't remember, where I smelled it before..."

In the end, Shao Lin said weakly: "I have very low recognition of the smell of decay, but I noticed that the cat seems to have a lot of wounds, and it seems that it fought with other small animals before it died."

The wounds were concentrated in two places: the left side of the body and the area of ​​the head from the left ear to the left eye.Obviously, the degree of decay in the wounded area is much higher than that of the fur without wounds.

Xia Yi put on gloves, washed the wound briefly with clean water, and dialed it with his hands: "Judging from the distance between the teeth of the bite mark and the shape of the scratch, it is not scratched by a dog, it should be a fight with a cat. It hurt quite badly."

Hearing the words, the property owner nodded hurriedly: "Yes, that's right, we thought the same thing, that is, the cat was about to die, and it happened to fall into the tank. It's not like someone wanted to harm our owner!"

At this time, Li Fu prepared a video and invited everyone to watch it.

Opposite Xiang Houjun's yard is the yard of the previous row of people. A green belt paved with stones is formed in the middle, and flower and fruit trees of different heights are planted on both sides. It is lush in midsummer, which greatly blocks the camera's view.The property transferred three cameras. In short, they couldn’t capture the courtyard of Xiang Houjun’s house, but it was the next best thing—the camera could cover all the roads entering the courtyard except the inside of Xiang Houjun’s house.In other words, if someone deliberately killed the cat and threw the body away, it would definitely be photographed.

It takes a lot of time to check the monitoring, and Xia Yi can only mobilize people in his own team for such a small case. In the morning, everyone checked all the monitoring and came to the conclusion that no one entered or exited the green road on Tuesday night. Stone road.In the camera, there are many cats coming and going, but under the fuzzy pixels and dim light, most of them are just a cat-shaped shadow, and the eyes reflect a scary golden light. It is difficult to tell which one is the dead one.

Xia Yi touched his chin: "It seems that the cat really walked in by itself?"

Shao Lin started another topic: "I heard that you have been dying of cats recently?"

"Well, there are dead cats, but I can't say how often they are? Stray cats, they don't have a good life in the first place."

Yan Jingjing searched for information related to "cats" in the property complaint records, and in the past three months, she received seven complaints about dead cats.However, in the past year, there were only nine.

In other words, Xiang Houjun was right: recently, Tianshui Beiyuan has indeed been killing cats one after another.Xia Yi put the black bag of the cat's corpse away, and made a quick decision: "It's better to let the forensic doctor find out the specific cause of death, Fuzi, make a report first, I don't know if they will accept the cat..."

"I said that your property management is really big-hearted - there are so many dead cats all of a sudden, and you still say that there is no problem? Not to mention that some owners are allergic to cat fur, and the timid ones who suddenly come out will be frightened. It's even more annoying to cry in the middle of the night, if there are children who are ignorant, scratches and bites are even more fatal." Xia Yi said with a straight face, "Aren't you afraid of accidents?"

"Officer, we have made a lot of efforts. After sorting the garbage, we set up regular garbage drop-off points, so that wild cats can't dig through the garbage cans. We also carried out two eradication of rodents, and there were indeed fewer cats at one time. Hey, but who knows, the old ones are gone, and the new ones are coming in. I think there have been more dead cats recently because the total number of cats has also increased. Police officer, do you know that many people are really, really irresponsible Responsibility, secretly throwing cats in our community in the middle of the night!"

Xia Yi frowned: "There is such a thing?!"

The property owner sighed helplessly: "In our community, Building 6, 302 lives in an internet celebrity who specializes in raising cats, and used to do good deeds, that is, picking up stray cats for injection, neutering, and giving them to netizens for adoption. It may be that the photos she took and the receipt revealed the address. Many people in the neighborhood don’t want to keep cats anymore. They just think that someone will take care of them if they throw them in our community. ! It pissed me off!"

Xia Yi: "..."

"But, police officer, there are a lot of people who feed cats in our community. Cats are very friendly. I assure you that there has never been any stray cats hurting people."

"Wait," Shao Lin asked suddenly, "When was the last time you exterminated rats?" After all, if a cat ate a rat that was poisoned to death, it would easily be poisoned to death.

The property management company thought about it and said that it was about half a year ago, before garbage sorting.

Shao Lin shook his head, and crossed out this possibility from the bottom of his heart - because the phenomenon of frequent dead cats only started to happen in the last three months.

The property management team drew a picture for Xia Yi, marking the cat feeding spots of several usual owners, and the corresponding house numbers, so that the police could inquire.

But at this moment, Xia Yi received Yu Min's cold, non-human reply: "I only dissect people, not cats."

Xia Yi: "..."

Yu Min was also puzzled: "Mo Niang said, you are looking for a clue related to the Penglai Princess. I just want to confirm that the dead cat has something to do with this matter?"

"Uh, maybe there is, but it's also possible that there isn't? How will I know if you don't check! Now we suspect that there is a serial killer in this community—"

Yu Min interrupted coldly: "Are you killing a cat?"

"Yes, yes, so I—"

Yu Min interrupted coldly again: "Then it's not a serial killer."

"I'm talking about you! What's going on! Is the life of a cat not life? Even though I like dogs more, cats are also life? Think about it, if someone in the community has been poisoning cats, and now we don't detect it, What should I do if the child is poisoned in the future? Will I come to you for an autopsy after the child is poisoned to death? I will take care of this matter, and then I will definitely investigate—”

"Xia Yi, you were chased away by the Criminal Investigation Detachment and rushed to the Public Security Detachment downstairs, right?" Yu Min's voice seemed to be cool, and he blew into Tianshui Beiyuan along the phone, "If so, then I congratulate you in advance You. Law and order really suits you well. The criminal cases in our team can’t be handled, please don’t waste the resources of the Forensics Center with irrelevant things.”

"Damn it," Xia Yi was angry, "Why are you like this, you can't check anything, you are No. 1 in yin and yang, you think I'm just kidding with you——"

Before someone Xia could finish cursing, Shao Lin quickly grabbed the phone, and said in his gentle and pleasant anchor voice, "Director Yu, I'm very sorry to disturb you. I'm Shao Lin. This dead cat is indeed related to me. It is related to a survivor of the Penglai Princess, and it was found in his house. We took a preliminary look at the corpse just now, and Officer Xia found that the smell of the cat's corpse was a bit strange, and the way the cat died was also quite unusual. I wondered, whether If I can ask you for professional advice, I don’t need to bother too much, just take a tube of blood and run a toxicology test.”

"After all, in the past two months, the survivors of the Penglai Princess have had accidents one after another. If the problems can be eliminated one by one, I will feel more at ease."

Xia Yi: "..."

Yu Min was silent for a while, then asked: "What smell? Bitter almonds? Do you suspect that someone wants to poison with cyanide?"

"Uh..." Shao Lin paused, and could only bite the bullet and say, "The corpse is rotting, the smell, I can't describe it for a while. Director Yu, why don't I trouble you to find a common poison first, Xia Yi can't do anything else, but his nose is quite reliable."

When someone Xia heard that the two were messing with him, he was immediately overwhelmed with anger, and wanted to rush up to grab the phone, but was grabbed by Yan Jingjing.

In Yu Min's limited contact with Xia Yi, he believes that the words "Xia Yi" and "reliable" have nothing to do with each other at all.Finally, Master Yu let out a long sigh: "...How reliable is it?"

Shao Lin smiled lightly, and said firmly, "If I must find a reliable place in him, then I must choose his dog's nose."

Yu Min also laughed twice in a low voice: "Okay, I will save face. Send the cat to Fajian."

"Thank you, hard work."

Shao Lin hung up the phone and handed over the phone with a stern face, his eyes rarely burst into flames.

"Why are you staring at me?" Xia Yi muttered, "This Yu Min is sick, this one can't do it, that can't do it, why don't you just check a cat, eat his rice, stingy! Fuzi, send the cat away , smoke that coffin face to death!"

Shao Lin sighed, and said earnestly: "...Obviously you are asking for something, is this the attitude of asking for help? Can't you make it clear?"

"It's just work, why do you still ask others? Besides, did I make it clear?" But Xia Yi still showed an aggrieved expression, "What I said is different from what you said?"

Shao Lin: "..." Destroy it, I'm tired.

Xia Yi continued to babble aggrievedly: "Also, what do you mean by 'If you must choose a reliable place on me, you should choose the nose'. This is said as if I am very unreliable. .My every cell from head to toe is very reliable, okay!"

Shao Lin had no choice but to say, "I'm praising you."

"Okay." Xia Yi became happy again, "Then what do you think is the most reliable part of you?"

Shao Lin turned his head and left: "Refuse to answer, and investigate the case, don't be naive."

Holding the map given by the property in his hand, Xia Yi thought for a long time while walking, and suddenly said to himself: "I seem to be satisfied with everything about me, but I must choose the most satisfactory place—— Hey, this question is too difficult—”

Shao Lin turned his head to the side, and saw the silly dog ​​looking down at his lower body, with a happy "huh hum" in his mouth.With a straight face, Shao Lin slapped Xia Yi's head with his backhand: "Is it over?"

Yan Jingjing tremblingly followed behind the two of them, thinking that Teacher Shao had obviously slapped group leader Xia, but the more he looked at it, the more he looked like flirting in broad daylight——

……

Shao Lin got a rough idea of ​​the cat-feeding households.

The cats in Tianshui Beiyuan all eat hundreds of meals. They walk through the whole community every night. If anyone has leftovers in front of the house, they will secretly eat some. They will feed imported cat food and occasionally drop raw meat.

The majority of cat lovers have responded to the recent death of cats in the community. Some people say that the cats that often come from their homes have disappeared. Just more.

Among them, one family said that she had been raising a raccoon free-range, but just last month, the raccoon died in the community.Before her death, Lihua was a very healthy cat with a shiny coat, and she was obedient and didn’t like to meow. But just a few days before her death, she changed her temper, howled frequently, and even fought with other cats. injury.

Shao Lin frowned: "Is the situation of that raccoon a bit similar to that of this big orange?"

"Could it be that rabies has spread in the community?" Xia Yi's first reaction after hearing this, but he quickly dismissed himself, "No, rabies should be afraid of water, how could that big orange get close to the water tank? ?”

In the end, Xia Yi and his group finally visited Room 6, Building 302, which was popular among all the people.The door was opened by a girl in her early twenties, with airy bangs and bob hair, dressed in sweet Japanese clothes, and a full-time online celebrity pet blogger.

"Rabies?" The little girl shook her head, then turned around and took out a stack of test sheets from the room, "My friend runs a pet hospital next door, so the stray cats in our community will have a physical examination at the beginning, if they have been tested For those who are vaccinated, I will give them a supplementary vaccine."

"Look, they are all negative for rabies. These are the vaccination records. The latest cat may not have had time to do it, but I have done both the raccoon and the big orange you mentioned, you see."

Xia Yi glanced at the neat cat files, nodded, and thought that rabies could indeed be ruled out.

"You are probably the person who has the most contact with cats in the entire community. What do you think of the cats dying one after another?"

"I've been thinking about this too recently." The little girl looked solemn, "Actually, I'm a little suspicious of the uncle in charge of garbage collection in our community."

After the state stipulates that garbage is sorted, the garbage in the community can only be placed in designated places, and there are aunts and uncles in red vests standing aside, supervising everyone to dump kitchen waste into green bins separately.At the beginning, the volunteers were very popular, but within a week, everyone found that the post was smelly, dirty and boring. Soon, all the volunteers ran away, leaving only one old man who recycled old things.

He helps the community check the garbage sorting every day, but as a reward, he sells the express boxes, plastic bottles, old electrical appliances and so on thrown out of the community.

The little girl explained: "My guess is well-founded!"

"I am a full-time pet blogger, and I also have three breeds of cats at home. I cook cat food for cats myself every day, and the content is relatively rich. I often use some imported salmon, whitebait, and white shrimp. Yes. I made too much cat food at home that day, so I took some out to feed the stray cats, and happened to be seen by the cleaner, and said how could I feed the cats with such fresh salmon meat, he had never eaten this in his life The stall imports seafood."

"I was embarrassed when I heard it, and ignored him. But who knows, he actually went through the garbage I threw out, found out those seafood packaging boxes, and told people everywhere how I feed such good things to cats, what a waste of money. Yes." The little girl became more and more angry, "I'm really angry. I was thinking, I can spend the money I earn as I like, can he control it?"

"I think that's when he got his eyes on the cats! I went to take out the garbage that day and heard him tell an aunt who was sitting at the door to enjoy the shade, saying that these cats came one by one because of the good food in the community. There are more and more of them, and it makes him angry, when they are all poisoned to death, the roots of their ears will be clean."

"Then, since then, our community has started to lose cats, dead cats, I have long wanted to say, I think he killed them. Otherwise, why did this kind of thing never happen in our community before the garbage sorting? That's it For a while, he actually only came here for four or five months."

Seeing the night fall, there were suddenly more cats in front of the 6th building, each with their heads held high, meowing one after another.And the sanitation worker mentioned by the Internet celebrity blogger also came to the garbage collection point at six o'clock.

The sanitation uncle is dark-skinned, slightly hunchbacked, and lean.He was wearing an ill-fitting worker's sweater, with a cattail fan on his buttocks, and he was on the same line with the little net red girl.

"Damn, I still suspect that you killed it!" The sanitation uncle raised his eyes and said in a loud voice, "If I want to kill, I will definitely catch your brand-name cats and kill them. Why do you want to have trouble with street bastards? Die Those were not all taken away by me in the end. Don’t think I don’t know. The few dead cats were all native cats, and none of them were worthy of the name. Why didn’t accidents happen to those expensive breeds? Is it because You can use it to make money, bah!"

"Besides, if I want to kill a cat, I'll kill and eat it. A cat that grew up eating such fresh fish must taste very good. If I drown it to death, I won't even be able to poison it!"

"Officer, this little girl is not a good person, she is very snobbish. I have seen it with my own eyes, several times, she feeds those different breeds of cats differently. Breed cats and native cats are fed separately! Who knows Is she too annoying and wants to poison those local cats to death!"
