Criminal evidence

"It's really long to come back. I haven't seen you for a long time. The children have changed."

"How long do you have to stay here when you come back this time? Where's your mother? Why doesn't she come back to see?"

"And your dad, I heard that he has become a high-ranking official in the capital?"

"Dad, don't keep asking people these things." Lu Qinghe helped bring the food to the table from the kitchen, he interrupted his own father's embarrassing way of asking questions with some dissatisfaction.

It was an accident to meet Shen Changyan in the town today, thinking that we will all work together in the same office in the future, it would be too embarrassing and inappropriate, besides, he and Shen Changyan are old friends who have known each other for so many years.

Although there was a detour in the middle of the road and some mistakes were made, the breakup was still decent, and it would not be to the point of never being in touch with each other.

So except for the first second when he bumped into this person at the door of his house, he felt a fleeting embarrassment, and soon he was relieved, Lu Qinghe asked casually.

"Why are you here so late?"

Shen Changyan raised the information bag in his hand and said, "Get something, you go home?"

"Hmm..." The two sides were silent for a while, and Lu Qinghe couldn't leave directly, so he asked again, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Have not eat yet."

"How about going to my house to have a meal before leaving?"

He was not polite, and he really wanted to invite him. Shen Changyan didn't hesitate after listening to it. He just nodded and followed Lu Qinghe back.

First, when they saw Shen Changyan, the two elders hadn't recognized him yet, they just thought that Lu Qinghe was passing by temporarily and brought a friend home to have a look.

The old couple surrounded their precious son and asked them infrequently over and over again. Lu Qinghe was usually busy with work, so it was difficult for him to go home. No delay, whose parents can bear such desertedness.

It's just that he was surrounded by his parents, and it was not good to neglect Shen Changyan, Lu Qinghe said a few words to his parents, then pointed to the tall man behind him.

"Dad, Mom, do you remember Shen Changyan?"

Shen Changyan, the neighbor of our family used to go back to the kid who got the first place in the exam.

The most outstanding child of other people's family, the one that parents never need to worry about, even if they go to the field to plant rice seedlings, there is no mud splash on their body, they are clean and never fool around with the bunch of mud monkeys, the one that adults like most.

"Long words?"

Lu's father and Lu's mother screamed almost in unison, and then Lu Qinghe was squeezed out of the door without hesitation, and Shen Changyan was pulled into the room by his hand.

It would be a lie to say that there is no surprise, after all, the two families have been in close contact in the past, and Shen Changyan's father is always busy, and his mother will inevitably encounter some difficulties in raising children in a woman's family, and the Lu family has also helped a lot.

Some of them include broken light bulbs, burst water pipes, clogged sewers, rice noodles, food, tables, chairs and benches that can no longer be carried. Lu Qinghe's father has always been obliged to help.

When the two families were still neighbors, there was another thing that impressed Lu Qinghe very deeply. He remembered that Shen Changyan's grandmother had a sudden illness one year and was on the verge of life and death. Her mother hurried back to stay with her in bed, but the journey was far away, and it was not convenient for her to bring the child by herself.

In the end, he had no choice but to board Shen Changyan at Lu Qinghe's house.

During that time, the two of them ate and lived together, shared the same bed, did their homework together, and went to and from school together. Lu Qinghe felt that they were living in harmony, but something happened later. After the relationship ended, Shen Changyan He began to deliberately distance himself from himself.

Lu Qinghe never wanted to understand the reason for this incident, until later Shen Changyan and his family moved away, and he couldn't figure out what was the reason.

After a long time passed, he didn't bother to think about it anymore, so he turned the matter over with a conclusion like "Probably somewhere I didn't notice, and accidentally offended him again".

There wasn't any good food at home, so Lu's mother made some casually, and Lu's father added a small glass of white wine to Shen Changyan.

They seemed to have a lot to say, but in the end they stuttered and couldn't say anything.

Lu Qinghe occasionally interjected a few words to ease the embarrassment, but he didn't say much, and he still felt awkward.

Originally, he didn't plan to drink. After all, he still has work tomorrow, and the matter in Suian County has not been resolved. If Shen Changyan asks later, he still doesn't know how to explain it.

But Lu's father was really happy today, he didn't know if it was the happy son who came back, or the happy old neighbor who came back, in short, he dragged Shen Changyan down and downed two glasses of white wine.

Shen Changyan was also very polite. When he drank the glass of wine, he didn't make much excuses, and he swallowed it in two or three mouthfuls.

When it's time to go to bed at night, the elders in the family naturally want to keep someone. Shen Changyan is not so thick-skinned and wants to stay here to sleep with Lu Qinghe. He thanked him for the hospitality tonight, and said he would go to the town to find someone A hotel is fine for one night.

Shen Changyan really wanted to leave, and the Lu family really wanted to stay, no one gave in, you dragged me, I dragged yours and entangled at the door for a long time, but it was Lu Qinghe who couldn't stand it anymore, so he stopped him One sentence.

"Either, or stay and sleep."

Shen Changyan's words that he was about to decline were suddenly stuck in his throat. His lips moved, but he couldn't make a sound.

Father Lu took the opportunity to say, "You have to stay today. Our family is small, but we can't sleep with a child like you. There is no reason why you have to go out after you have entered the house. Besides, it has only been a few years. See, how did this kid become so stubborn, come in quickly."

Lu's mother took Shen Changyan's arm, her fingers pinched the sleeve tightly, and she didn't intend to let go at all, so the 1.8-meter-tall child finally stepped into the door in desperation.

Fortunately, the bed in Lu Qinghe's house is much bigger than the single bed in the city bureau's dormitory. Even if the two of them have to lie on the same bed at night, they won't be close to each other like before. , not so embarrassing to that point.

Lu Qinghe walked into the room with his bedding in his arms.

Shen Changyan glanced back at him, then turned back to busy with the things in his hands.

Lu Qinghe opened the cabinet, took out the pillow and quilt, laid them out, and put them on. He was busy for a while, but when he saw the pair of pillow covers, he always felt that something was weird, so he deliberately put the two pillow covers together again. Changed to a different color.

"Well, I'm a little sleepy. I'll go to bed first. You can rest on your own after you finish your work. You, you sleep on this side."

"En." Shen Changyan replied absently, and about 2 minutes later, he suddenly asked again, "What's the current progress of the case in Suian County?"

Lu Qinghe knew that he would definitely ask, but even if he had prepared in advance, his tongue still stuttered at this moment, "Huh? Ah?"

"I asked you what's going on with the Suian case." Shen Changyan repeated the question, "You and Ma Yue went to the scene this afternoon, so you just passed by here when you came back."

"We." Lu Qinghe's voice became softer, "We didn't ask any new progress."

Shen Changyan was silent for a while, he hadn't scolded Lu Qinghe for a long time, especially after confessing, "Forget it, go to sleep."

Lu Qinghe pursed his lips. He stared at Shen Changyan's back for a long time, but in the end he was more helpless than sad. He didn't want to be sad anymore, so he just pulled the quilt and fell on the bed.

But now that his eyes and ears are clear, he couldn't sleep at all, he tossed and turned, and felt uncomfortable all over his body, so he got up from the bed again, Lu Qinghe took the information bag he went to the scene in the afternoon, and found a bench to sit on Shen Changyan's around.

"Are you free? I want to discuss some details of this case with you."

Shen Changyan glanced at Lu Qinghe, he put away the things in his hands, and made room for others, "Speak."

"In this case, it was early in the morning when the police were received."

Lu Qinghe wrote [Time: Early morning] in his notebook;

"The eyewitness is Gua Nong. According to his description, when the deceased was found, the deceased was naked. There should be no problem with this, because when I fished him out from the bottom of the stream, he was indeed naked."

[Suspect clothing: None]

"First of all, when the murderer kills the deceased, it is impossible to take off his clothes on purpose, so it means that when the murderer did it, the deceased was also naked. There are only three possibilities for being naked. The first is that the weather is too hot and he is sleeping with no clothes on. , Second, he is taking a shower, third... third, he is doing something with others that doesn't require clothes."

【Bath, sleep, make love. 】

"It's impossible to take a bath. The first crime scene was on the bed in the deceased's bedroom, so there is a high probability that he was sleeping or having sex. If it was sleeping, there are two situations. The first is burglary, the second is to seek revenge, and the third is Pillow love kills people, but if it is making love, there is only one possibility, love kills."

[Robbery (accident), vendetta (seeking revenge), pillow person (love killing). 】

"I thought in the morning that the probability of burglary and murder should be very small, because the murderer made an unnecessary action of throwing the body, and the property in the house was not lost. If it was just a simple burglary and murder, and the two parties did not know each other, then he did not If it is necessary to throw the corpse, killing people and stealing money should be the ultimate goal."

After Lu Qinghe finished speaking, he got stuck, and began to analyze again, "However, this kind of thinking cannot completely deny the possibility of robbery and murder. If it is the act of robbery and murder performed by criminals who invaded from outside, then there is really no need for him to throw the corpse , But what if the murderer and the victim knew each other, what if the murderer was a villager in the village, what if he knew that the deceased had a fortune in his family, and on the spur of the moment, wanted to seek property on the spur of the moment, but was unfortunately discovered by the deceased. It was the first time he committed a crime, so he was very flustered. In the process of fighting with the deceased, he accidentally stabbed the other ten times. After he calmed down, he felt frightened, so he decided to throw the body away. He panicked and didn't have the time and opportunity to deal with the crime scene and steal the money."

[Money disputes, throwing corpses, water streams...]

Lu Qinghe was halfway through the recording, when he suddenly thought of something, he patted the table with his hands emotionally, and then jumped up from Shen Changyan's side with a "snag".

"That's right, an acquaintance committed the crime. The fucking boy even knows how to find the water stream for throwing the corpse. If it weren't for the locals, who would touch the edge of the water stream to throw the corpse at night? And he was also found by the melon farmer." Didn't all of this prove that he knew the way?"

After Lu Qinghe finished speaking, he stared at Shen Changyan with his big eyes.

He was like a child who over-completed his homework and asked for praise. His analysis was so good, from burglary to vendetta to love murder, every possible probability could not be denied by the unilateral speculation of the police.

But at least, the fact that acquaintances commit crimes has determined a direction.

Shen Changyan lit a cigarette, and he smiled, "Isn't it good if you don't analyze it?"

"That's right." Lu Qinghe sat back in his seat triumphantly, "And according to my analysis, the murderer is a man, so the possibility of love murder can be ruled out."

"why?"

"The victim was stabbed ten times in a row, and the victim worked in the fields all year round, so the strength in her body should not be small. If the murderer was a woman, she would not have such absolutely overwhelming strength to hold people down. After stabbing so many knives, the victim will definitely resist after waking up. He also has scratches on his arm. I saw it this morning, but he can't resist. Even if he is injured, the explosiveness of dying should be terrifying. , I don’t think it’s possible for a woman to commit crimes.”

"The possibility of a woman committing a crime is indeed very small." Shen Changyan did not deny this, "But love murder cannot be ruled out."

"Huh? Why?"

"In this case, there is a high probability that I am still more inclined to love and vendetta."

Shen Changyan took out his notebook, "Your analysis just now is correct. The possibility of burglary is very small, but it is not impossible. It is certain that an acquaintance will commit the crime, and this person is very familiar with the surrounding environment, but there will be limitations for acquaintances to commit the crime. Sex, he will not blindly select the target of the crime, so the first point is to confirm the financial situation of the victim's family, whether there is any windfall recently, or whether the family conditions have reached a level that is enough to make people feel bad."

Shen Changyan made a note in his notebook, "Confirm the victim's family conditions and financial situation."

"Secondly, if the victim's family conditions are not good, then we must reduce the possibility of burglary and homicide, because first of all, he has no money, and second, he is a young and strong man. If the murderer's goal is not big money, he There is no pursuit, just want to get some small money for entertainment, so this aspect can portray that the murderer is actually a person without guts. If he is a guy without guts, then when he chooses the target, he will subconsciously choose the weak who are easy to bully, not the dead Such a 33-year-old man in his prime."

[Confirm whether there are any images of suspects in the village who expect to "get something for nothing" such as "loafing around", "tasting too much", "swindling and cheating", "relaxing and not working". 】

"If these important characteristics cannot be checked, then immediately abandon the search line of burglary, robbery and murder, and don't die."

Lu Qinghe was bored for a while after listening, he wanted to write down the few words that Shen Changyan mentioned in his notebook, so as not to forget it when he woke up the next day.

As a result, before he could pick up the pen and drop it, he suddenly heard a "stab", and Shen Changyan directly tore off the key points he had written down, and then reached out and handed the paper to Lu Qinghe.

"I have other things to do tomorrow morning, so I won't accompany you to the on-site investigation."

Lu Qinghe pursed his lips, he didn't want to ask more questions, but he couldn't hold back, "What have you been up to these days?"

"The case of Wu Chengzhou and Liu Wenshu is not over yet. They abducted and trafficked women and children, hired mentally handicapped employees, forced women to work illegally, violently imprisoned others' personal freedom, maliciously disabled babies, used the sympathy of the public to beg, and made illegal profits. These crimes There are so many that I can't even count."

"Didn't we have all these evidences? Wu Chengzhou also confessed, so why don't you submit them to the court directly?"

"Of course it has to be submitted, but we don't have enough. If these things are brought up, only Wu Chengzhou and Liu Wenshu will be sentenced. But what are they? They are not the big fish behind it at all."

"You want to uproot the criminal gang behind them?"

"of course."

Lu Qinghe was stunned for a while, and then he nodded dully, "Yes, yes, the crimes of this gang are indeed horribly cruel, and they really need to be eradicated completely. If Liu Wenshu and Wu Chengzhou were only killed by the police Xiaoyu, then even if they are executed and shot, the perpetual crime will continue, and we must protect the people.”

After finishing speaking, he felt something was wrong again, Lu Qinghe was startled, he grabbed Shen Changyan's arm, "But you alone?"

Shen Changyan's eyes moved down slightly, and he looked at Lu Qinghe's pale fingers, "I've already found out some clues."

"Is there any danger? How about handing over the Sui'an County case to Ma Yue, and I'll go with you?"

"It's not dangerous." Shen Changyan turned his head. He seemed a little aggrieved, his eyes sank for a moment, then he looked up at Lu Qinghe with a smile and said, "Just wait for me to get promoted."

"promotion?"

"It's a great achievement, and I'm sure I'll be promoted." He gritted his teeth. He shouldn't have asked, but he still asked, "How many people squeeze their heads to go where they want to go, and you really don't want to come with me?"

"You have done a great job, it's none of my business, it's not my promotion."

"I can take someone with me."

Lu Qinghe opened his mouth, feeling very strange, he couldn't make a sound.

If it was before formally proposing to break up, he might have rejected Shen Changyan's proposal without hesitation, and he didn't want to go anywhere at all.

But now the two parties have cut off contact, if they refuse again, maybe there will really be no intersection in the future.

Lu Qinghe was still reluctant, even if he couldn't get closer, it would be good to let him see Shen Changyan every day.

If he leaves, there will really be no way to see him in the future.

At this moment, the eyes of the two sides looked at each other with too many emotions, especially Lu Qinghe's expression ranged from shock, to sadness, to reluctance, and finally to determination, while Shen Changyan was only wronged from the beginning to the end.

That person is still unwilling.

So he looked back and pretended not to care and muttered, "Forget it, I won't take you."

Lu Qinghe lowered his eyes, "I'm going to sleep first."

He took a few steps towards the bed, and Shen Changyan suddenly said something behind his back.

"Lu Qinghe, excluding women committing crimes may not completely eliminate the possibility of love murder."

Shen Changyan said, "The same sex can also have feelings."

"Just like us," he said.
