Please don't stick to Officer Qi [criminal investigation]

When Qi Lin and Shi Le returned to the police station, the police station was already bustling with everyone sitting in the conference room discussing their cases.

"Are there so many people involved in this case? I thought it was just the two of us." Shi Le looked into the meeting room through the glass and expressed her feelings.

"You're right, it's really only the two of us." Qi Lin turned his head, "Those are from the case team next door."

"Ah, other cases." Shi Le's eyes revealed a trace of longing, "What kind of case is that, so many people?"

"The theft of sapphire." Qi Lin sat back in his seat, picked up the thermos cup and drank it. here."

Shi Le nodded and sat down, "What is the sapphire theft? Where did the gems get stolen?"

"A private buyer bought the sapphire in Xinggang before, but a thief broke into the house and stole it." Qi Lin yawned, "The location, it seems to be Regal Villa."

"Where is Regal Villa? I, a local, have never heard of it."

"We passed by Xingfu Community when we came back. It is a high-end residential area. The people in it are either rich or expensive. If it weren't for something that happened there before, I would never have heard of it." Well, I can live in a villa. I will never live there in my life."

Shi Le also pouted, "What good is money?"

This sentence successfully attracted Qi Lin's attention.He put his arm on the back of Shile's chair, "Your words are really crazy. Have you ever imagined what you would do with 100 million?"

"One million?" Shi Le stared into Qi Lin's eyes seriously, "If I had one million, I would add a lot of eggs to every pancake and fruit."

Qi Lin: ...that's all you can do.

Just as the two were imagining the future when they got rich, the fixed phone on the table rang.

Because the phone was close to Shi Le, Qi Lin didn't move. Instead, he pushed his chin and asked Shi Le to answer it.

"Hello, Qingcheng Public Security Bureau, what's the matter?" Shi Le picked up the phone with one hand, and recorded it in his notebook while listening.

"Senior," after a while, he suddenly covered the microphone and said to Qi Lin, "We have work to do again."

……

This time, the scene of the crime was at a brick factory seven kilometers away from Xingfu Community, and it was an employee of the brick factory who reported the crime.When he was at work, he came to the warehouse to move raw materials, but accidentally found a dead body pressed by a cement bag in the corner.

"Comrade police, it's right there!" The brick factory worker leaned tremblingly against the wall, patting his chest to breathe. "I'm scared to death. It's really unlucky to see something like this early in the morning."

"Don't be nervous, speak slowly." Qi Lin turned his head to look at the dark warehouse, "When did you find the body?"

"I don't know, I don't have the habit of checking the time. But I called the police as soon as I was sure it was a dead body. The time is probably..." He took out his mobile phone to confirm the communication record, but Shi Le took the lead.

"It's 23:[-]." Shi Le said, "I checked the time before answering the phone."

Nine twenty-three.Qi Lin wrote in his notebook.

"What time do you go to work?" Qi Lin continued to ask.

The staff of the brick factory became anxious: "Comrade policeman, are you suspicious of me? I didn't kill this person. I usually dare not kill a chicken. How dare I kill someone?"

"Don't get excited, don't get excited, it's just a routine inquiry." Qi Lin waved his hand, "Did you see any suspicious people during work?"

"No, it's just me."

"Thank you for your cooperation. Go get busy." Qi Lin put away his notebook and stood at the door of the warehouse.

"Senior, why don't you go in and look at the corpse?" Shi Le was puzzled.

Qi Lin pointed to the warehouse and explained to him: "There is a lot of dust on the ground. If you go in rashly, it may damage the scene. Let's wait for the criminal investigation department to come."

After speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, and turned to stop the worker who was about to leave: "Isn't this warehouse often used?"

"This is the only warehouse in our factory, and it should be used frequently."

"Then why so much gray?"

"I don't know either. I just went into the warehouse to pick up things two days ago. At that time, there seemed to be no ashes."

Qi Lin frowned slightly.

The criminal investigation department will come soon.The police car kicked up dust, choking Qi Lin to cough again and again.

"You kid, are you trying to choke me to death? Can't you drive slower?" Qi Lin covered his mouth and nose and shouted at Xiao Wang.

Xiao Wang got off the police car.

"Hello, Senior Wang Xin." Shi Le greeted Xiao Wang, who waved his hand.

"Isn't this a rush to investigate the scene?" Xiao Wang said, "I ran here before the clues over there were checked. Really, why am I so busy today, I don't have time to make copies."

After finishing speaking, he took out a silver criminal investigation toolbox from the trunk, opened it and asked Shi Le: "Young man, do you play World of Warcraft? How about Guild Wars? I recently sent someone to accompany me to play dungeons, why don't you come?"

Shi Le didn't speak.

"Come on, hurry up, go early and finish work early." Qi Lin urged impatiently.

Xiao Wang shrugged, put on his shoe covers and went in with his camera.

Qi Lin and Shi Le stood outside the warehouse and looked inside.

"Xiao Wang, what is the ashes on the ground?" Qi Lin asked when Xiao Wang swept the ground with a small broom.

"It should be cement powder." Xiao Wang handed Qi Lin an evidence bag. Qi Lin opened the bag and poured a little into his palm.

The powder is gray in color, soft and dry to the touch, and it turns from small particles into smaller dust with a little forceful twisting with the fingertips.

"There is only one footprint at this scene." Shi Le looked at the cement powder flowing from Qi Lin's fingertips, "And it seems that the powder becomes less and less as you go to the corner, and the cement becomes thicker as you go to the door."

After Shi Le said this, Qi Lin noticed this detail.He turned on the flashlight to shine on the corpse in the corner. As Shi Le said, there was obviously less cement around the corpse, and the clothes of the corpse seemed to be covered with powder.

"The cement was sprinkled later." Qi Lin deduced, "The purpose should be to hide the trace."

Before the words finished, Shi Le said again: "This case and the case in the morning are serial cases."

Now Qi Lin couldn't understand.

"Senior, look over there." Shi Le pointed to a table outside the warehouse, on which was a mineral water bottle with a pale pink rose in it.

It seems to be the same species as the rose on the porch at the scene of the case in Xingfu District.

This is so weird.The homicide on the same day, and the appearance of the same variety of roses at the crime scene at the same time, it would be too coincidental to call it a coincidence.

"This is a serial murder case." Qi Lin only felt that his head was overwhelmed now.The serial murder case was the last case in the criminal squad, and he was still hesitating how to tell the chief about it.

……

"Xiao Qi, it's not your first day as captain, you should know what these words represent?" The director sat behind the desk with a sad face.

"I know, but it's hard to classify this case as a serial murder case." Qi Lin said, "It's only the second case now, and if we don't care about it, it may become the third or fourth..."

"Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop talking nonsense. I have a bad heart." The director clutched his chest, "Now that Sapphire is making a fuss in Qingcheng, you have another pink rose serial murder case, not to mention the pressure of public opinion. , even the police station is not manned enough.”

The words "Pink Rose Serial Murder Case" pierced Qi Lin's chest like a shining knife.

"Director, the sapphire case is only financial, but the serial murder case is human life, please send more people." Qi Lin respectfully bowed to the director, "Also, I am still the second victim now, as long as the media keep their mouths shut People don't think about serial murders, but if there is a third or fourth, then everyone will be really panicked."

"Understood, you kid knows how to pinch my weakness," the director sighed, took out his seal from the drawer under the table and stamped it on the document submitted by Qi Lin, "Although I have allowed the joint investigation, this It doesn't mean that this is a serial murder case, you boy can keep your mouth shut."

"Don't worry, I'll figure it out." Qi Lin put away the documents and turned to leave. As soon as he opened the door, Shi Le ran into Qi Lin's arms. It seemed that Qi Lin was caught lying at the door and eavesdropping on the conversation. one is right.

Qi Lin wanted to question Shi Le, but considering that the director was still in the room, he quickly moved to the right and blocked Shi Le with his body.

"Xiao Qi, what are you doing standing at the door?" the director asked.

Shi Le bent over and hid in Qi Lin's arms, and made a silent gesture to him.

"It's okay, I'm just too tired." Qi Lin curled his lips and talked nonsense with the director reluctantly, "I'm leaving now, and the director should also rest early."

After finishing speaking, he pushed Shi Le forward with the strength of his waist and abdomen, and he closed the door with his backhand until he left the office.

"Get up, how long do you have to hide?" Qi Lin frowned and lifted Shi Le up by his collar.

Shi Le smiled shyly, "I'm curious about what you guys are talking about. How is it? Did the director agree to join the case?"

"I agree, but the sapphire theft also needs manpower, and we don't have many manpower available." Qi Lin said, "Maybe two or three."

"Two or three are enough, it's better than just the two of us." Shi Le smiled, as if he was happy for the extra manpower, but in the next second he put away his smile and gave a respect behind Qi Lin. Li, "Hello, senior Wang Xin! Aren't you at the scene of the crime? Why did you come back so soon?"

Qi Lin also looked back.But the person who came was not Wang Xin at all.

"This is not Xiao Wang, this is Wang Ke, Wang Xin's twin brother." Qi Lin explained to Shi Le.

"Oh, I'm sorry Senior Wang Ke, you look too much alike." Shi Le scratched her head, but Wang Ke ignored him.

"Qi team, the family members of the deceased have come to identify the body."

Only then did Qi Lin realize that Wang Ke was followed by a pair of elderly people, presumably the parents of the first victim.

"Please come with me." Qi Lin nodded, and led a few people down to the cold storage on the first floor.

"Please keep calm, both of you." Qi Lin said to the old man when he opened the cold storage.
