Sick roommate observation notes

The informant's house was a two-storey villa with a small garden. At the other end of the garden was an open-air balcony with a glass door directly connected to the kitchen on the first floor.

The red-haired woman's husband was sitting in front of the refrigerator. As she said, a kitchen knife was inserted obliquely into the man's head. A quarter of the knife went into the man's head, and blood rolled down his head. It dripped all over the floor.

The police carefully collected evidence at the scene, applied to their superiors to obtain nearby surveillance information, and then sent a few people around to ask the neighbors about the situation, while Shen Lu stayed in the room with the rest of the people to discuss the case.

“I always felt like the knife was inserted from the angle of the knife and hit him,” said a policeman, using his hand to fake a knife blade, simulating the scene of a knife hitting the left brain of a colleague on his head. From the weight of this kitchen knife, even if it falls from a place that is not too high, it may cause damage to the skull. If it did not fall, the murderer would have to be at least a head taller than the deceased to stab the deceased with force after lifting the kitchen knife This position on the head."

"But there is no place in the kitchen where a kitchen knife can fall from the sky," another police officer heard and then analyzed, "The height of the deceased was measured at about 1.6 meters 1.8, and if he was a head taller, it would be about [-] meters [-]." , many adult males can reach this height."

"It's not impossible for things to fall from it." The black police officer pondered for a moment, "Call Mrs. Green and ask if their family has the habit of storing things on top of the refrigerator."

Green is the surname of the red-haired woman who reported the crime. She was removed from her home by the police after filling out the authorization form and is currently staying at a friend's house.

After the call was connected, the woman's voice was still a little panicked: "There is nothing on my refrigerator."

The black police officer frowned, and raised his hand to let a police officer move a chair to take a picture of the situation on the refrigerator: "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure," said the woman's voice in an unnatural way, and after a while she screamed as if remembering something, "Ah, that, I remembered, I used to store empty glass jars It was on the refrigerator, but then the jar was used to store jam, and there was nothing on the refrigerator."

Judging from the photos, the top of the refrigerator was not clean. A police officer opened the refrigerator again, and there were indeed several bottles of pink jam on the second layer of the crisper.

Before hanging up the phone, Shen Lu interjected a little abruptly: "May I ask, ma'am, did you put the glass bottle directly on the refrigerator before, or did you put the jar in the storage basket and put it in the refrigerator together?"

"Storage basket, I use the storage basket for the jars."

Shen Lu then asked: "What shape? What color?"

"It's a black storage basket, square," the woman paused, and then took the initiative to explain more details, "I washed that storage basket after I used it, and put it away. It seems to be at the bottom of the cabinet in the corner of the kitchen. That floor."

After thanking the woman for providing the details, the phone was hung up by the police, and a police officer couldn't help wondering: "Why are you asking about the jar? How will it help this case?"

"The kitchen tends to accumulate oil stains due to frequent cooking, and the top of the refrigerator is usually a dead spot when everyone cleans, so if something is stored on the refrigerator for too long, dirt will accumulate on the bottom," Shen Lu pointed at the The less obvious outline of the stain in the photo, "The stain on the refrigerator is not obvious, indicating that the top of the refrigerator should have been cleaned regularly, but there are still some marks on it. You can see that this small stain is at a right angle. "

"Oh, so it's impossible for a round glass bottle to be placed directly on top of the refrigerator," the police officer suddenly realized, "Sure, Sean, you observed carefully, I didn't find this problem!"

"It's nothing, the stains have been cleaned up very well. If you don't cook often, it's really not easy to notice." Shen Luxin said that it feels a little uncomfortable to want this group of elders in the police station to be familiar with cooking. Easy, "But Mrs. Green shouldn't be lying, this is indeed the trace that a square box will leave, so it is of no use to our case."

According to the information that can be collected so far, the police speculate that the murderer should be a tall and strong man. The work that this person does on weekdays may be related to physical labor, and he has an identity that makes people relax their vigilance.In addition, the forensic doctor deduced that the wound on the head of the deceased was caused by being stabbed twice, so the murderer probably killed the deceased out of hatred. From this, it can be deduced that the two may have conflicted about something before, and the murderer may have Has a more serious anti-social personality.

Several police officers had been collecting evidence and discussing it until [-]:[-] pm before returning to the police station. The black police officer ordered everyone a work meal as a reward, but they had to analyze the relevant information obtained from the surveillance immediately, and they had no time to rest for a meal. A mouthful of rice.

As a Ph.D. in criminology, Shen Lu frequently failed to apply to join the Bureau of Investigation after graduation. He has only occasionally participated in the cases of the Bureau of Investigation. I can imagine how hard the investigators of the Bureau of Investigation who deal with serious cases usually work.

After thinking about it for a while, he quickly shook his head and returned to work. The monitoring information showed that there were no suspicious vehicles entering or leaving the community during the time period from 02:30 to [-]:[-]. Express van.

"Contact this courier company and ask which courier is delivering the courier to them at that time," the black police officer rubbed his forehead with a headache, "then invite the courier to ask about the situation."

The person in charge of the courier company handed over the courier's contact information without saying a word. At the same time, he found out that the deceased had just signed for a package in the afternoon. Cooperate with the police investigation.

Before the courier was invited to the police station, several people continued to gather around the table to discuss the possibility that the other party was the murderer. Bella was sent to check the surveillance before, and it took her longer than other police officers to obtain the surveillance information first. Brainstorming: "I don't think the courier did it. Think about it, when someone delivers the courier to your home, you must sign, pick up the package and other steps at the door. If the courier wants to commit a crime, he must Gain opportunities at this time, because when the express handover is completed, you will close the door very quickly."

"But the deceased fell in the kitchen, and there was no trace of being dragged on the ground." Seeing that her colleagues lowered their eyes as if they were simulating the scene, Bella waited for a while before continuing, "That is to say, the courier The crime is not established, after all, no one would invite a strange courier into their home, or even into the kitchen."

Bella's reasoning is reasonable, but there is still a huge loophole in it, that is, sometimes if the package is picked up in person, the courier will tell the recipient that he is tired and can he enter the house for some water or drinks. Many well-meaning people will not refuse the courier's request, and it may leave an opportunity for those with malicious intentions.

This loophole was quickly brought up by Hugh, and Bella was a little displeased with Hugh's dismantling: "Can you stop thinking of other people's intentions so sinister?"

"Isn't it our job to guess how sinister other people's intentions are?" Hugh retorted earnestly, and finally couldn't help but reached out and rubbed Bella's head, "You, you think too carefully about others You will suffer later."

Suddenly, many policemen coughed in the conference room, Shen Lu opened his eyes wide in surprise, he never realized that the two of them had such a relationship!

After the pink bubbles in the room disappeared, Shen Lu cleared his throat and brought everyone's attention back to the courier: "Actually, it's very simple to know whether the courier is suspicious or not. Just go to the deceased's house and see if the courier has been opened."

A police officer sitting across from Shen Lu turned the pen in his hand: "How do you say?"

"The courier delivering the package and asking for water can only be a coherent action, and even delivering the package and committing the crime can only be a coherent action," Shen Lu explained, "If the courier took the opportunity to commit the crime, the deceased would not have the opportunity to open it." Check the contents of the courier box... But this reasoning may not be completely reliable, because some people don't like to disassemble the courier immediately after receiving it, so there is still a high possibility that the deceased did not disassemble it."

"No, this reasoning is very helpful to us." The black police officer smiled, then connected the camera used for evidence collection to the computer, and projected the photos one by one on the big screen.

When collecting evidence, the police officers took pictures of almost every corner of the villa where the crime occurred. At this time, everyone focused on looking for clues from the photos, and soon found that there was an unpacked express box in the bedroom of the deceased. The courier information exactly matches the courier number given by the courier company.

At this point, the case fell into a bottleneck again, and the entire conference room suddenly fell silent, only the voices of the police officers flipping through the documents still echoed in everyone's ears.

Shen Lu was puzzled, couldn't help pinching his chin, wondering who would be suspected of killing the deceased if there were no suspicious vehicles?

After a while, a police officer still did not give up and analyzed: "Since the courier has been opened, could it be that the courier left after the courier was delivered, and returned to the deceased's house after a few minutes?"

"It's not impossible, but now it seems that the suspicion of the courier is very low. How about the specific situation? We have to ask the courier for a while." The black police officer sighed, paused and raised his left hand to look at the time. "Now it was late."

Hearing this, Shen Lu took out his mobile phone and turned on the screen, and the bright "22:30" was displayed in the center of the screen, and they still haven't been able to rest for a moment.At the same time, he also noticed that he had an unread message from Penguin, which was sent by Qin Qiu, and he didn't know if the other party had something important to say, so he felt embarrassed to just dove the other party for several hours. of.

"Let's do this for today. Except for Hugh and Kelvin who stay here and wait for the courier, the rest of you should go home from get off work and recover your energy before continuing with the rest of the work tomorrow," the black police officer immediately decided, "The box lunch I bought is also cold , if you want to eat, take the boxed lunch home, and remember to heat it up before eating."

The police officers saluted the black police officer and returned to the office to pack up their things and prepare to leave.On the way home by taxi, Shen Lu finally had the opportunity to start replying to Qin Qiu's message. The other party's message was sent at [-]:[-] pm, and there was only a simple one: Sean, did you water my shower today?

Only then did Shen Lu remember that he had agreed to his roommate's job of watering the flowers, and felt ashamed for a moment: Ah, I'm sorry, I've been busy all day, and I only saw your news at this time!

Sean Shen: The flowers haven't been watered yet. I'm on my way home. I'll help you when I get home.

Almost as soon as the message was sent, the words "typing in progress" appeared under Qin Qiu's username, so Shen Lu quickly received the other party's comfort: It's okay, there's no rush, your work is more important.

After a tiring day, his roommate's attitude was so flattering, which made Shen Lu feel very heartwarming: Thank you.

SC: You have been busy so late, have you encountered a troublesome case?

After the message was sent out, my little roommate didn't reply, and seemed to disappear again.

In the hotel room, Qin Qiu kept tapping the handle of the sofa with his index finger. After waiting for a long time, he was about to send something more, when a man's voice suddenly came from beside him: "Francis, the location of the target has been found, ready to go... ...who are you messaging?"

"My roommate," Qin Qiu read these words in a gentle and intimate voice, which made his companion's skin crawl, and when he saw the other party shaking unbearably, he raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction, " how?"

"It's really scary for you to put on such an affectionate face. Who doesn't know what will happen after being your roommate." The man with shoulder-length blond hair walked up to Qin Qiu and sat down without fear. He stretched out his hand to hook Qin Qiu's neck, "Let's think about it, your former roommates, the forensic doctors, seemed to be crazy later on, right?"

"Sean is different from them." Qin Qiu pushed away his companion's loose arms with an indifferent expression, and paused for a moment, a trace of undetectable cruelty appeared in his deep blue eyes, "He must be different from them."
