traces of all things

"This incident is like this, go this way."

Lu Zheng noticed the word "event" sensitively, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

The person who spoke was Xian Hongru, deputy captain of the criminal police brigade of the Provincial Urban Bureau. He was about the same age as Geng Zhizhong, and he took a similar route.The deputy captain Xian didn't use the word "case", obviously he already had his own judgment on the fire.

The place where the crime happened was the Normal University of Province A where Lu Zheng and Tang Shaoyuan were playing together just now.The two of them chatted by the court for a while, when they heard a commotion, looked up, and saw thick smoke billowing from a room on the west side of the third floor of the old building where Tang Shaoyuan washed his hands just now.

"My God! That's the chemistry building!"

Someone in the crowd screamed.

Although the school has not yet started at this time, there are already many students and faculty members coming and going at the Provincial A Normal University, which is a top student. They are worried about any flammable and explosive dangerous goods in the chemical building. Lu Zheng and Tang Shaoyuan The two rushed up immediately, one called the fire brigade, the other took out his police officer's ID, and yelled for people inside and outside the building to quickly evacuate to a safe area.

Fortunately, the fire was discovered in a timely manner. The Normal University is located in the city center, and the firefighters arrived within a few minutes.After working hard for less than an hour, the fire was effectively brought under control, and the scene was cleared out of the channel. Soon, fire officers and soldiers found it at the scene.

"Report! A body was found at the scene of the fire center!"

After hearing this, the squadron leader immediately stated: "Protect the scene and immediately notify the Municipal Bureau and the police station in charge."

"Cough cough." Lu Zheng stood outside the cordon and coughed twice: "Hi Captain, I'm the Provincial Department..."

The squadron leader was interrupted just after he gave the order, and he couldn't help being a little unhappy. Seeing that it was Lu Zheng who had helped evacuate the crowd just now, his face softened a little, but he was still quite stern: "Thank you for your help just now, but now the scene Protection is needed, please evacuate irrelevant personnel as soon as possible!"

Enthusiastic citizen Lu Zheng: "...No, captain, I am Lu Zheng, the leader of the special case group of the Criminal Technology Team of the Provincial Department. I want to ask if you still need manpower."

The squadron leader looked up and down the person in front of him for a few seconds, and stayed for a while on his baby face, sleeveless shirt, big shorts and basketball shoes.

Lu Zheng swore that he saw the words "You are funny" on the squadron leader's mocking face.

Just as Lu Zheng was about to take out his police officer's card from his underpants, the people from the City Bureau had already arrived at the speed of light.

"Captain Xian."

"Ah."

Xian Hongru and the squadron leader are obviously old acquaintances. After shaking hands with him, he was ready to start working. In a blink of an eye, Quan Quan saw a young man poking beside the squadron leader, standing aside with positive eyes, and asked casually: " Is this a witness at the scene?"

"No." The squadron leader glanced at Lu Zheng, a little speechless: "This person claims that he is from the Criminal Technology Team of the Provincial Department, and asked if he could help."

The vice-captain Xian Hongru glanced up and down at Lu Zheng with the same subtle eyes as the squadron leader, and also paused for a moment on his big underpants, then hooted inexplicably: "Provincial Office?"

"Wait, I really am." When Lu Zheng heard that he had become a suspicious person, he quickly took out his police officer's card from his pocket.

Xian Hongru glanced down, nodded noncommittally, and replied rather perfunctorily: "Okay, leave it to us."

Just like this, the idlers waited for Lu Zheng to be kicked out of the scene, and about ten meters away from the cordon, he saw a figure squatting beside the flower bed where he and Tang Shaoyuan were chatting just now. A giant mushroom.

"Shao Yuan, why are you here?"

As soon as Tang Shaoyuan heard the voice, he immediately raised his head, his glasses were shining brightly.

Lu Zheng almost thought that there was another big tail wagging behind him.

"...Just now I pulled the cordon, and I was kicked out." Tang Shaoyuan stood up and patted the non-existent dust on his pants.In fact, he also concealed some facts. The fire officers and soldiers pulling the cordon at that time saw him helping to evacuate the crowd, and directly blocked him out: "Student, it is dangerous inside, don't come in!"

Tang Shaoyuan: "..."

At this time, the two of them lost the mood to continue practicing, so they simply went back home.It's just that Lu Zheng didn't expect that as soon as he entered the house and took off his shoes, he received a call from Boss Geng.

"Lu, a fire broke out at Provincial A Normal University, and a body was found at the scene. The scene was quite a sensation, so hurry up and pack it up."

Lu Zheng who hasn't stepped into the slippers: ... What a coincidence, I also know that the scene is very sensational.

**

The hard vacation is over.Since the Municipal Bureau has applied for support, it means that there must be something wrong with the corpse at the scene.Lu Zheng and the others quickly returned to Provincial A Normal University in a nervous mood. Vice Captain Xian, who came to greet them, saw Lu Zheng getting off the police car wearing a police uniform, and his expression was very exciting for a moment.

Vice Captain Xian was obviously not the first time to deal with people from the provincial department. He knew each other with Geng Zhizhong, Tang Shaoyuan and even Wei Xiongfeng.

"Deputy Captain Xian and Boss Geng don't deal with it very much." Wei Xiongfeng, the gossip broadcaster, hurriedly followed up, and whispered to Lu Zheng: "He always said that the functions of the special case team of the provincial department overlap with the elite team of their city bureau—the elite The group is some kind of youth talent training plan organized by their city bureau, but they look down on our provincial department."

He was brought into the central scene by Xian Hongru, and soon, Lu Zheng met an elite officer under Xian's deputy team.

"Xue Yiwei, a new member of our elite group, a serious returnee student." Xian Hongru's tone was slightly raised when he introduced it, and he was quite proud of having a son like this: "Don't look at him young, except for his qualifications, he is excellent in every aspect. The top ones are no worse than those who rely on experience for years."

Lu Zheng, who really relied on his seniority, touched his prickly head, feeling like he had been hit by an arrow in his knee.

"Damn it, isn't this just a trace version of Tang Shaoyuan?" Wei Xiongfeng muttered aside, rubbing his arm, rubbing goosebumps like he couldn't stand it.

His complaints are not unreasonable. This Xue Yiwei really looks a bit like Tang Shaoyuan. He is tall and fair-skinned, wearing glasses, and looks like he grew up in a laboratory. Chaotian, with a bit of a scholar's lofty spirit, makes people feel that he is not very close.

Anyway, in Lu Zheng's opinion, Tang Shaoyuan is much more likable than Xue Yiwei in terms of character and appearance.

"In terms of the scene, we have conducted a simple inspection, and the results are relatively clear. The corpse has been transferred to the morgue." Xue Yiwei led Lu Zheng and the others into the central scene with a look of enthusiasm, and instructed them Several people put on hard hats: "It's a pity that Captain Huang thinks it's still necessary to ask colleagues from the provincial department to check."

"Have you fixed the photo?" Lu Zheng asked.

Xue Yiwei shrugged his shoulders and made a very American "please do it yourself" gesture: "We have marked the physical evidence that should be extracted, and we have not extracted it for the time being in order to wait for you to come. But to be honest, there are not many valuable ones." content, I don’t think it’s necessary.”

This Xue Yiwei's words are really annoying.

Wei Xiongfeng took advantage of the moment when he turned his head away and made a bunch of grimaces with crooked eyebrows.

The site of the center is an office on the third floor. This office building is used by some professors of the Department of Chemistry and Physics. It is one of the oldest buildings of the Normal University in A Province. It is said that it will be demolished soon.The entire office building is an I-shaped structure popular in the last century. A long corridor connects many rooms in series. There are windows on the wall near the corridor and the side near the outer wall. There are flower beds hanging outside, which is a bit like the building of the Provincial Department. picture.After being burned and baptized with water guns by fire officers and soldiers, the scene has been destroyed beyond recognition.The offices along the entire corridor showed signs of burning and damage to varying degrees, and the scene in the center was the worst. The walls were blackened, the window panes were gone, and the house was in a mess. Broken furniture, paper garbage, and other things were lying on the ground. There was half a drinking fountain lying on the ground, and black water flowed on the ground.

There is a blackened spring shelf on one side of the room. According to the shape, Lu Zheng speculates that it is probably a fabric sofa.There are many scorched paper fragments left on the ground beside it.

There was a strange smell in the air, like the smell of burning plastic and wood mixed with the smell of barbecue, which made people feel nauseous.

"The place where the body was found was on the pile of springs in the corner of the room. The name of the deceased was Guan Bin. He was 32 years old and was a professor in the Department of Chemistry of A Provincial Normal University. Three years ago, the Youth Thousand Talents Program returned to China to teach. The main direction is organic methodology. ——Well, I don’t know what it is, all in all, he is one of the most promising young talents introduced by the Provincial Normal University in recent years.”

Suddenly a female voice came from behind, quite magnetic, Lu Zheng turned his head to look, and found a short-haired woman in her forties who was not tall but with a capable appearance came in the door.

"Captain Huang." Xue Yiwei immediately put away the energetic expression on his face, and said hello respectfully like a little sheep.

Captain Huang Ying of the Criminal Police Brigade of the Provincial City Public Security Bureau, this iron lady-like character is well-known in the whole province A. Although Lu Zheng and her have never met before, people's aura cannot deceive people. The moment Captain Huang walked in the door, he still instantly matched her name with her name.

"Xiao Tang, Xiao Wei, and Lao Geng." Huang Ying smiled and nodded one by one, then extended her hand to Lu Zheng: "This must be Team Leader Lu, nice to meet you."

Lu Zheng was somewhat flattered and shook hands with Her Lady Queen, who was behind the public security system in the provincial capital.

"This fire, our deputy team Xian and the technicians including Xiaoxue all think it was an accident." Huang Ying didn't say much. Like the dean when I was studying, some dare not make mistakes.

"Then...why did Captain Huang ask us to come here as a group?"

The aura between the big boss and the big boss can only be understood by each other. Small leaders like Lu Zheng can only be wallflowers at the moment, not to mention Wei Xiongfeng, Tang Shaoyuan, and Xue Yiwei who are like little sheep on the side up.

"That's true." Huang Ying nodded: "But this case is very special. It happened in the best university in the provincial capital, and it happened in the afternoon when the traffic was very dense. The chemical building was burned again, although it was not an experiment. However, the news has already leaked out, causing a certain amount of social panic. Many media and the public are very concerned about this matter. It is necessary to solve the case as soon as possible and give everyone an explanation. Although I trust my colleagues very much, but Since our provincial capital has ready-made resources, why not add an additional insurance?"

After all, Captain Huang raised his hand: "Yiwei, tell the experts from the provincial department about your discovery."

"Yes." Xue Yiwei answered the same as he shouted in the military training, and he just stood at attention for a moment. He first took out an evidence bag, put on his gloves and carefully pulled out a black thing from it.
