Criminal Investigation: Forbidden Rose

Shao Lin suddenly remembered the two empty small clay pots on Wang Yangchun's desk and the soil scattered nearby.

Apparently, Xia Yi also thought of the same details: "This thing is really evil. Yan Jingjing picked up Wang Yangchun's social network and found that she had posted a few Instagram-style photos before. There were two succulent potted plants in it, and What she found in her stomach seemed to be of the same kind..."

She mixed her potted plants with soil and ate them.

Soon, Shao Lin returned to the bureau, and the team was in a remote video conference with the Fajian Center to discuss whether Wang Yangchun could rule out homicide.

"Except for the psychotropic drugs taken by the deceased, no other toxins were found. There were no bruises or scratches on the deceased's body, and no traces of binding were found on the wrists, ankles, or neck. Therefore, there is no evidence that the deceased was coerced at that time." At the same time, the same kind of sand was also found under the fingernails of the deceased's right hand. Therefore, the forensic team believes that the deceased probably grabbed the soil with his hands and ate the potted plants..." Yu Min's face flashed as he spoke. After a moment of wonder, "However, this succulent is the last to be eaten."

Discussions arose in the conference room of the Municipal Bureau: "It can't be that she ate it by herself?"

"Did someone force her to eat it? But there was no biological information of the second person present in the room?"

Xia Yi added: "By the way, when we checked on the spot, we found that there was no food in Wang Yangchun's apartment."

"What do you mean?"

"It's just biscuits, potato chips, and instant noodles. Only the outer packaging is left, and the refrigerator is empty, so I have eaten all that can be eaten. Oh, by the way, she didn't soak the instant noodles, but broke them into pieces." food."

Someone's eyes widened in surprise: "You mean, after eating everything, the deceased couldn't stop eating potted plants?"

"Medical records state that the deceased suffered from bulimia nervosa and visited a psychiatrist every week."

"But Wang Yangchun's consultant believes that the deceased is recovering well and has no suicidal tendencies." Shao Lin, who had been silent all this time, said, "Moreover, from a professional point of view, bulimia nervosa and pica are two completely different things. 'Bulimia nervosa' is just that in the state of the disease, you can't control your eating, but you still eat food, and you don't choose soil."

As soon as he finished speaking, the conference room fell silent again.

After a long time, Xia Yi cleared her throat and shared the progress of her investigation: "According to Wang Yangchun's mobile phone, we can probably deduce the course of action on the day of Wang Yangchun's death. That day, she had lunch in the school cafeteria at noon and was in class all afternoon. Classes ended at 45:198. At [-]:[-] that afternoon, she spent [-] yuan in the nearest canteen downstairs, which became the last record of her life before her death."

Immediately someone interjected: "What did she buy? The commissary costs 198 yuan, isn't it cheap?"

"Fuzi immediately went to the canteen to adjust the monitoring of that day, and successfully found Wang Yangchun according to the time. She was wearing the clothes she was wearing when she died. She bought all snacks for 198 yuan. It was a little expensive because of the box of chocolates. She ate them all. .”

As soon as Yan Jingjing pressed the play button, a video taken from the grocery store appeared on the screen: In the video, Wang Yangchun seemed to have nothing unusual, just throwing things into the shopping basket without even thinking about it.

Xia Yi shrugged: "Fuzi also asked the cashier. The cashier remembered this little girl because she was very fat. Every time she bought a lot of snacks in one go, she was happy when she saw Wang Yangchun, and felt that the business was coming."

Yan Jingjing added the discovery on the mobile phone: "Wang Yangchun is mainly active in the Two-dimensional community, but she has not installed any APP that can chat anonymously. As for the reality, she really has no friends to chat with, whether it is the chat records on the day of her death or the mobile phone. According to the text message records, no one asked her to meet."

With a bitter face, Li Fu asked Xia Yi: "Team leader, how is this matter decided? Should we continue to investigate? The higher-ups are urging us."

Someone whispered: "There are only two keys in that room. One is in the landlord's hand and the other is in the deceased's body. There are suicide notes and medical records. Let's report that no evidence of homicide was found."

Xia Yi turned the pen silently.

A student died, and public opinion was under great pressure. The school asked the police to make a decision as soon as possible on whether homicide could be ruled out.Although there was no trace of the presence of the second person at the scene, there were many loopholes in the monitoring.Moreover, Wang Yangchun's method of death is strange, but there is no sure clue that can clearly point to the homicide.

The urging was intense, but Xia Yi felt that the words "rule homicide" were as heavy as a mountain - once said, a once-fresh life would be completely sealed.

Wang Yangchun does have an eating disorder, but why does a mentally ill patient who really wants to commit suicide actively participate in psychological counseling every week, but never mentions his suicidal tendencies?

Moreover, what is the reason for this strange behavior of eating dirt?

With a "snap", Xia Yi slapped the pen on the table again: "There is not enough evidence, I will communicate with the higher-ups, and you continue to investigate."

Soon, through the school, the group contacted the students who attended the class with Wang Yangchun one by one.Most of the students said the same things - Wang Yangchun is not very talkative, he is not familiar with Wang Yangchun, and he didn't find anything unusual - as if Wang Yangchun is just an airy person who passes by everyone every day.Just when Xia Yi was about to give up, a girl one grade higher than Wang Yangchun heard about the police investigation and confessed to the police, saying that she had overheard in the toilet that there was a girl named Fang Jie in the second grade. Classmates, and girlfriends complained about "teaching that fat woman a lesson".

There are not many people in the private vocational school, and only Wang Yangchun has the nickname of "dead fat woman".

The reason why this classmate took the initiative to report was because Fang Jie relied on her family's good conditions and liked to bully others. She was also one of the victims of bullying.

The police quickly summoned Fang Jie, a second-year vocational school student.

The person who came had slanted bangs, medium-length hair, draped over his shoulders, dyed maroon, with a bit of hostility in his eyebrows and eyes, and looked at the police with the look of "you owe me 100 million".When Xia Yi asked Wang Yangchun, she said a few words lightly, saying that after school that day, she did block people and teach her a lesson, but it didn't matter.When asked about the time, it turned out to be the day of Wang Yangchun's death!

"It's okay?" Xia Yi raised his voice sharply, "This person is dead, you tell me it's okay?!"

A flash of panic flashed in Fang Jie's eyes, but she soon regained her composure and said with confidence, "I really didn't expect her to die. I was angry at the time, and the words may have been a bit harsh, but I didn't really miss her." Die? Is it illegal to swear at people these days?"

Shao Lin's tone was very calm, and he asked, "You and Wang Yangchun are in different majors and different grades, and there seems to be no intersection in the club. Why did she mess with you?"

When Fang Jie talked about the reason, she still gritted her teeth with hatred: "That fat woman hooked up with my man! Damn, I don't want to pee and see what I think, even if my man dares to hook up with me, I'm going to Zaan A few words from her, tell her to stay away from my man!"

Xia Yi: "..." Who would have thought of this.

Shao Lin's tone was very calm: "What exactly did you scold?"

Fang Jie rolled her eyes, and then she became a little embarrassed, and stammered: "Probably just call her fat, call her ugly, and even want to be a mistress, so just do whatever it sounds like."

Shao Lin nodded: "Then what did Wang Yangchun do to make you think that she is hooking up with your man?"

As soon as Fang Jie talked about this, she became excited, her mouth crackling like pouring beans.It turned out that Fang Jie's boyfriend was Jiang Qi, an art student.When the school studio was empty, Wang Yangchun often went to the school studio to draw.In this way, the two became acquainted as soon as they came and went. Jiang Qi admired Wang Yangchun's works quite a lot, and after a few compliments, Wang Yangchun became interested.Once, Fang Jie went to the studio to find her boyfriend, only to find that Wang Yangchun was secretly sketching Jiang Qi's side face. She was so angry that she tore up the painting.

At that time, she had warned Wang Yangchun to stay away from her boyfriend, but Wang Yangchun argued that he had no interest in Jiang Qi, so let this matter be over for now.

Later, Fang Jie went to police her boyfriend's mobile phone every day, but Wang Yangchun sent a message, asking Jiang Qi if he likes truffle chocolates made by himself, or a high-end silver carved pen.Of course, Wang Yangchun didn't know that the person who received the message was Fang Jie, not Jiang Qi.Fang Jie directly blocked Wang Yangchun with Jiang Qi's account, and decided to scold this little bitch face to face.

"I felt good about cursing, so I went to eat and drink with my friends. No matter what she does next, it has nothing to do with me!"

The police beat again, and Fang Jie immediately explained the time, place, and companions of the dinner party that night.According to Fang Jie's electronic consumption records and the group photos of her colleagues in the circle of friends, the police can conclude that Fang Jie has sufficient proof of absence since Wang Yangchun entered the canteen to buy snacks.

On the night of Wang Yangchun's death, Fang Jie was indeed not with her.

"Last question," Shao Lin blinked, "Did she put on makeup the day you taught Wang Yangchun a lesson?"

Fang Jie was stunned: "What?"

Shao Lin repeated it again.

Fang Jie thought for a while, then shook her head, and said that Wang Yangchun went to class without makeup.

Shao Lin nodded.The camera at the canteen couldn't see it, but when Wang Yangchun died, he had heavy makeup on his face and he was crying.

According to Fang Jie's testimony, the police summoned her boyfriend again.

Jiang Qi is a clean, tall, thin boy with a soft-spoken manner.His testimony was similar to Fang Jie's, the only difference was that he denied that Wang Yangchun was "hooking up" him.Jiang Qi said that the two are just ordinary friends, and their understanding of art is quite similar. As evidenced by the chat records, they have not made any ambiguous words or actions. As for the gift, Wang Yangchun "asked" and did not bluntly say that he wanted to give it to himself.He thinks that Fang Jie is strict in management, nervous, and eats vinegar in everything.

Fang Jie got angry when she heard this, and started arguing with others on the spot: "Fart, she just wants to give you a gift, only an idiot straight man can't see it, and it will be 520 in two months!"

The dignified city bureau inquiry room has become a place where young people gossip.

On the day of Wang Yangchun's accident, Jiang Qi went out to eat with Fang Jie, and he also had an alibi.Xia Yi listened to this all day, and finally let the clues be completely cut off. He only felt a mouthful of old blood clogged in his chest. At the end of hearing, he didn't even have a conclusion on "whether Wang Yangchun really has a crush on Jiang Qi", just I feel that one head becomes as big as three.

In the middle of the night, Officer Xia changed into pajamas after taking a shower, but moved to the computer again, revising the report, as if sitting like a statue.Shao Lin urged him to go to bed several times but failed, so he simply sat next to the person and read Wang Yangchun's psychological counseling records for the umpteenth time.

"Wang Yangchun did say it," Shao Lin pointed to one of the lines, "Because I have someone I admire in my heart, I hope to work hard to lose weight, overcome bulimia, and make myself beautiful and better enough to be worthy of him. Because of this, the counselor believed that she had positive thoughts in her mind and her suicide risk was low."

"Is there a possibility," Officer Xia squeezed the center of his brows, and said slowly, "As the counselor said, Wang Yangchun did not have suicidal tendencies, but he was severely stimulated by Fang Jie's incident. This stimulation triggered an uncontrollable Wang Yangchun felt that she had no hope of chasing Jiang Qi, and her self-evaluation was extremely low, so she acted impulsively? After all, she left such a note and specially put on makeup. The core appeal seemed to be that she was not beautiful enough. "

Shao Lin lightly turned a page, thought for a long time, and finally answered: "There is indeed such a possibility." That's all, he shrugged: "But I still don't know why she wants to eat potted plants."

Xia Yi's report was revised until early in the morning. Although it was delayed for 24 hours, it still came to the previous conclusion - "there is no evidence pointing to homicide for the time being".

Shao Lin stayed with him all the time. After reading the psychological counseling records, he began to flip through Wang Yangchun's paintings, some on the computer, and some of her usual scattered hand-painted ones.Those bright colors and lively designs seemed a bit dazzling for a while.

In a daze, Shao Lin suddenly found a draft of handwriting.

The draft is in black and white lines, but it is enough for people to distinguish the shape - it is a series of sketches with the theme of "organs": there is a "heart", full of peonies blooming in the arteries and veins; there is a "stomach" , a pot of gypsophila grows upwards from the cardia; there is a "lung", the end of the organ that blooms in a tubular shape, and morning glory blooms; unrecognizable flower...
