I come from the abyss

Ji Chengling and Chen Jie dispersed the onlookers, moved a few benches to circle the scene of the murder, Zhong Xueru put on his gloves and walked around the outside of the car, then opened the driver's seat to check the dead.

Li Zan waited and watched the terrain at the street corner shop. Jiang Heng, who had a habit of running in the morning, bought two cups of soy milk and gave Li Zan a cup of soy milk.

Jiang Heng: "The first person who found the deceased was Uncle Chen, a garbage collector. He went to the beach to collect garbage at four o'clock in the morning, and came back at about 05:30. When he passed by the car where the crime happened, he went to pick up the empty mineral water bottle under the car. The door was not closed tightly, and the driver in the driver's seat could be seen along the seam of the car. According to Chen Abo's description, the driver was sitting on his back in the driver's seat, with a ferocious face, gray face, protruding eyeballs, and no breathing."

Aunt Chen ran away in horror, bumped into Jiang Heng who was running in the morning at the street corner, pointed at the car tremblingly and described 'dead person', Jiang Heng stepped forward to check, then called the police and notified Li Zan who was still sleeping in the hotel.

Beside a row of bicycles in the old building, a thin, stooped old man vividly described his horror when he saw the dead body. The policemen in the two seaside areas listened quietly to him and asked questions from time to time.

Li Zan: "Where is the empty mineral water bottle?"

Jiang Heng: "I borrowed a bag to put it in. The empty mineral water bottle has Uncle Chen's fingerprints on it. There is no guarantee that it was thrown by the deceased or the murderer."

The two were standing at the entrance of Shiduodian, which was at the corner of an old building, with a row of old residential buildings on both sides of the corner.Taking the street corner as the point, the field of vision gradually becomes wider.In the middle of the two rows of residential buildings is a triangular-shaped open space. Yellow grids are drawn on the open space to turn it into a pavement parking lot. A road for pedestrians and cars is left behind the buttocks of the pavement parking lot. Newly planted saplings.

There is a decades-old banyan tree in front of the young sapling, and a flower bed is built around the banyan tree.The banyan tree is full of branches and leaves, and the nearby residents often visit it. They like to enjoy the shade, drink tea and play chess under the banyan tree in the evening.

But now, the banyan tree has become a murder scene.

The car where the murder occurred was not parked in the drawn yellow grid, but in the open space in front of the banyan tree.

"The car may not be owned by the nearby residents." Li Zan squeezed the plastic cup of soy milk after drinking and threw it into the roadside trash can. "There are residential buildings on both sides, and the triangle area and the banyan tree are also places with frequent traffic. An expert is bold and not afraid of murder being discovered, otherwise it would be..."

"Passion kills."

After making a conclusion, Li Zan rubbed his chin: "The deceased will definitely try to call for help or make noise during the murder process. Even in the middle of the night, there should still be people awake." He looked up at the two residential buildings with balconies facing outwards and said, "Maybe someone witnessed The whole process of the incident."

Jiang Heng: "The deceased should have died of suffocation. His face was immature. He was between 17 and 8 years old. He was a male and a student. He wore a summer school uniform under his jacket." Before the police came, he briefly inspected the scene and the deceased. , and talked to Li Zan: "There are a lot of change scattered in the glove box of the car, as well as Alipay and WeChat payment QR codes. It may be a private car for passengers. There is no driving recorder and timer installed in the car, and there is no operating license , It’s a white car.”

White-plate cars are Hong Kong's name for black cars, that is, vehicles that operate illegally without operating licenses and related procedures.

Li Zan followed this deduction and continued: "If the deceased was a black car driver, the murderer is likely to be a customer. There is no timer, and the fare depends on the driver's mouth. Maybe the price negotiation process was not smooth, and there was a dispute midway, and the anger turned into passion."

This is only one of the possibilities of speculation, not the final result.

Li Zan: "I'll go and have a look. You..." He hesitated: "You don't have to wait for me, I have to end my vacation early, and I might not be able to go back before noon."

Jiang Heng expressed his understanding: "I'll go back to the hotel to cancel the reservation."

Li Zan nodded, "Okay." After speaking, he strode towards the murder scene.

Jiang Heng stood there for a while before leaving.

Li Xiancheng acted as her boyfriend's assistant, helping with the autopsy and collecting the traces in the car. When Li Zan came over, she held up the evidence bag and said: "The hair that was collected in the rear seat and the co-pilot's were both long and short. The rear seat I found lipstick and hairpins under the car mat, but nothing else. However, there are many fingerprints and handprints, which are easy to collect but troublesome to analyze afterwards.”

Hair, fingerprints, and handprints in black cars carrying passengers are normal, and lipsticks and hairpins may also be left behind by female customers.

Li Zan: "That's right, you've got enough posture."

Li Xiancheng brushed the hair that fell down her cheeks, coughed and asked reservedly: "Only posture?"

Li Zan: "It's good to praise you for your posture. Be humble and remember that you are just a trainee dog now."

Li Xiancheng is an intern forensic doctor at a forensic identification center in another district.

Li Xiancheng was grinding her teeth, Zhong Xueru came over to comfort her: "Chengcheng, you are the best in my heart."

Li Zan: "I'm not dead yet."

Zhong Xueru shyly retreated to Jiang Heng's side, put on the face of a professional butcher and said: "The preliminary conclusion is that the death was caused by mechanical suffocation, and the murder weapon was a stranglehold. Some fiber fabrics remained in the wound on the neck of the deceased. We can only determine what the murder weapon is after it is identified. The deceased died. It was 2:3 in the morning, and there was nothing to prove his identity, no mobile phone and ID card. There was no timer and driving recorder installed in the car, and it was impossible to determine where it started and ended. Apparently, some fabric remains from the deceased's fingernails—"

"Cloth?" Li Zan interrupted him, "No blood or skin tissue?"

"No." Zhong Xueru: "It's really strange. The body language of the deceased showed that the murderer strangled him from behind with a string. The deceased would grab the murderer's arm tightly during the struggle, and the fingernails should have blood and skin tissue. Not fabric. Unless the killer was wearing something with long sleeves, which had some thickness."

Li Xiancheng was stunned: "Wearing thick clothes in summer, the murderer is sick?"

Li Zan: "Maybe."

He walked around the car, stopped in place, and heard the whispers of the onlookers.When he was perfectly still, he caught the mirth and laughter from the beach among the whispers on all sides.

Walk out of this triangular area and go a little further to the bus stop on the side of the road, and the next stop is the seaside hotel.The straight-line distance from here to the beach is very close, but there is only a long detour across the cliff and the sea, and the bus takes four to five minutes.But the last stop is much farther away from the old residential area and the seaside hotel, and it takes 5 minutes to take the bus.

At two or three o'clock in the morning, it is difficult to find other means of transportation other than shared bicycles. You have to run for more than ten minutes to the next stop and check into a seaside hotel, or you will choose shared bicycles as a means of transportation for escape.

Li Zan waggled his index finger once and for all, made a 'tsk' sound, and ordered slowly but with clear thoughts: "Ask every family, if you hear something in the middle of the night, see a strange person passing by, or maybe you have seen a murderer. I don’t know, so I went to ask one by one. And check the surveillance, there is no surveillance in this area?”

The old Zeng who just came over heard the words and said: "Because they are all familiar old residential areas, there are no accidents at ordinary times, so there is no monitoring. There is a monitoring next to the bus stop on the street. It was broken by a thunderstorm a few days ago. Not fixed."

"The timing is too coincidental."

"It's like God is trying to create momentum for the murderer."

Zhong Xueru and Li Xiancheng agreed.

"It's quite a coincidence." Li Zan continued: "Then check the check-in list of the seaside hotel for the past two days, and the surveillance at three or four o'clock in the morning last night, and finally contact the shared bicycle company to obtain the shared bicycles used in the seaside area last night. record of."

Old Zeng nodded: "I'll tell you to go on now. By the way, the deceased is a student from No. [-] High School in the city. He has already called to inquire, and the result will come out."

Apparently Mr. Zeng recognized which high school in the city the deceased's school uniform came from.

The police officers worked together in a division of labor and soon started their own operations.The deceased was transported back to the forensic office, and the car and various physical evidence were sent to the trace inspection office.The criminal police who were on weekends canceled hotel reservations one after another, ended their vacation early, and rushed to investigate the case.

***

Jiang Heng, who was waiting for the cancellation procedure at the hotel, looked at the time, it was nine o'clock in the morning.

"Sir, the cancellation procedure is complete. After deducting [-]% of the handling fee, the remaining fee will be automatically transferred to your account." The hotel service staff returned the bill and ID card to Jiang Heng while talking.

Jiang Heng took it, thanked him, put the things away, and walked out with the luggage bag.

At this time, a group of people suddenly filed out of the hotel elevator, the first one was the groom holding the bride, and he stepped out of the hotel surrounded by a group of people and went to the beach to hold a beach wedding.

The groom's relatives and friends distributed wedding candies everywhere, and a girl stuffed Jiang Heng with a lot of wedding candies and wedding cakes, begging for blessings with a blushing face.

Jiang Heng smiled: "May we grow old together and be united forever."

The girl laughed and ran away, playing with her companions to catch up with the large army.After the bustle, there was a set off to the tranquility. The cleaner who cleaned the candy paper mentioned that there would be another wedding banquet on the third floor in the afternoon. While talking, the topic went to the bride and groom's family's dowry and the wealth of the dowry.

"The groom and the bride are both natives of Yuejiang City. They are both only children, and there are several farm buildings in their family. As long as the housing prices don't fall, they will definitely have nothing to worry about in this life."

"Dozens of luxury cars are parked in the parking lot, all of them are from both sides of the bride and groom. I heard that you can eat sea cucumbers, abalones and lobsters at the banquet, and you don't want people to follow suit."

"I went to the bride's room to clean in the morning. There were only two or three sets of wedding dresses and bridal casual clothes. There were gold and diamonds... There were also a bunch of people surrounding the bride to dress her up. What kind of make-up artist and make-up artist assistant? Rich people Even getting married is such a luxury."

"Why don't you tell the foreman that I will go to the third floor with me in the afternoon, and I can pack some leftover lobster and abalone later. There will be a lot of untouched food left at the end of their wedding banquet."

"I'll go back and talk to the foreman."

……

They walked away, and then the elevator opened again, and a dozen people came out of it, both men and women, with fashionable clothes and exquisite makeup, even the men wore more exquisite makeup than the women.

They strode forward with cosmetic boxes on their backs, and their destination should be a beach wedding.

Jiang Heng guessed that they were the bride and groom's team of makeup artists.He looked away, headed towards the parking lot, and drove back to Dongcheng District. He turned a corner on the road and didn't go back to the apartment. Instead, he went to the nightclub in Jinyuan Square.

The nightclub is closing time, and the boss is still working hard behind the bar to practice his bartending skills.

Hearing the movement, the owner of the nightclub raised his head and looked up, tears filled his eyes immediately: "Flourishing, Daddy! You are finally here, Daddy!" He took out the plan book on the table foot and offered it with both hands: "Are you interested in investing? ? You don’t need to bother, just give me a little money.”

Putting the plan aside, Jiang Heng pointed at the table and asked, "Has what I want arrived yet?"

The nightclub owner sighed, rummaged in the drawer, found a small USB flash drive and threw it to Jiang Heng: "They are all Jin Xinyue's ruthless characters, after we rule out the remaining three people, they are most likely to be the ones behind Jiang Yun's death." The real culprit. And the weakness of Lin Chaoqi that you asked me to find before, I found it."

Jiang Heng raised his eyelids, "?"

Nightclub owner: "..." The uncle who paid the money is my father, no matter how hard he pretends to be, he can only offer it. "Lin Chaoqi's weakness is a young man, a young man who suffers from hypopituitarism and stops growing but will not age. Unexpectedly Unexpected. A poisonous spider that eats its own kind is obsessed with plastic flowers that never fade, making people wonder if she is infatuated with the flesh of a teenager or envious of the other's aging appearance."

It is indeed surprising that Lin Chaoqi's weakness is personal.

Nightclub owner: "Relevant information has been sent to the regular mailbox. There are only so many things I can find, and it is easy to be exposed if I go deeper."

Jiang Heng: "Check something more."

The owner of the nightclub politely declined: "I dragged someone to check these things at Jin Xinyue, and almost died. I paid double the money to keep myself from being sold. Grandpa G, I am really retired."

Jiang Heng: "I won't check the golden crescent this time. You can check it for me, and I will realize your plan."

Nightclub owner: "...where?"

Jiang Heng: "Golden Triangle."

Nightclub owner: "..." What the hell is the difference? !

***

The Criminal Investigation Office of the Dongcheng Branch and the criminal police gathered in a circle to listen to the autopsy report given by the forensic doctor. The autopsy results were almost the same as Zhong Xueru's conclusion, and the focus was on the analysis results of the fiber cloth left on the dead skin.

"The fabric left on the neck of the deceased is imitation cashmere fabric. It is speculated that the reining rope used to strangle the deceased is an imitation cashmere scarf. The fabric remaining in the dead man's nails is also imitation cashmere fabric, so we speculate that the murderer was a man who wore imitation cashmere fabric on summer nights." Long-sleeved top and scarf."

"The murderer is afraid of the cold?"

"Perhaps it was premeditated."

"If you have premeditated, you can bring a nylon rope, or a knife, and use a scarf, which just shows that the murderer is impromptu. The money in the car is still there, which means it was not for money. The deceased was a man, and it was excluded for sex. It may be that there was a fierce quarrel during the bargaining process. Killing people on impulse, there are many similar cases.”

"The mobile phone and ID card of the deceased are missing. Perhaps the murderer panicked and had the idea of ​​trying to erase the identity of the deceased."

"What's the name of the dead man?"

"Ge Xiangdi, 17 years old, an only son, just finished the college entrance examination a month ago. His parents are still there, his mother works in an electrical appliance factory, his father has diabetes, and usually drives an unlicensed car to cover daily expenses. Ge's father is sick these days, and Ge Xiangdi I wanted to help my family reduce the burden, so I took over from my father to drive a black car."
