Wrongful Death Criminal Investigation

It was half an hour after I received Qiu Shaoyang's message.

Qiu Shaoyang: [I'm home. 】

Mingtang: [That's good, go to bed early, good night. 】

Qiu Shaoyang: 【Good night. 】

Mingtang continued to devote himself to work.The trace inspection detected a large amount of blood in Li Jinwei's studio, and it was basically determined that Li Jinwei's studio was the scene of the first crime. The tool used to dismember Li Jinwei's body was also found, which was a small cutting machine.

Since Li Jinwei makes sculptures, he often has to weld iron frames to support the interior of the sculptures. Therefore, there are many tools in his utility room. The murderer should have obtained materials locally. From this, it can be inferred that the murderer knows Li Jinwei's studio very well. .

Li Jinwei's studio doesn't have any staff, and all the publicity and distribution are outsourced. The agent is Li Jinwei's friend for many years.Li Jinwei is a relatively homely person, and his social circle is very simple. After the technicians cracked his WeChat, they were a little surprised. In the 21st century, when information technology is so advanced, there are people who do not have more than 50 WeChat friends.His address book is even simpler, with only a few close friends and the contact information of his parents.As for the staff in the exhibition hall, all of them were recruited by agents, and many of them didn't even know what Li Jinwei looked like.

Therefore the range is reduced very little.

Li Jinwei's mother fainted from emotion after learning the news of her son's death. No way to get any news from the mouths of the two old people, we can only pin our hopes on Li Jinwei's friends who are relatively close on weekdays.

Early the next morning, Li Jinwei's friend arrived at the police station.

Qiu Shaoyang stood at the back, and Mingtang saw him immediately. Last night he came home very late, and this morning he came to the bureau again early in the morning. Most likely he didn't sleep.

Everyone seems to have a tacit understanding, all dressed in black.The members of the Serious Case Brigade, who have always handled these things well, were at a loss at this time. They were more or less influenced by Qiu Shaoyang. This young master of the Qiu family was forced to know that this person was their former colleague, and his uncle's photo was still hanging in the lobby on the first floor.

Whether it's sympathy or anything else, the Serious Crimes Brigade is in a state of silence at this time.

In the end, Qiu Shaoyang stood up and broke the silence, "Captain Ming, let's get started."

Mingtang nodded, and began to direct his subordinates to work.

Qiu Shaoyang was interrogated alone, not for his special purpose, but as the reporter of this case and also the person who discovered the body, Mingtang and the others needed to have a good chat with him.

Mingtang didn't want to put pressure on Qiu Shaoyang, so he took him to their lounge, and even sent him downstairs to the cafeteria to order him a breakfast.

"Eat something first, and then let's chat." Ming Tang said.

Qiu Shaoyang really didn't eat anything in the morning, he couldn't eat.Li Jinwei died, he didn't break his heart, but he really couldn't pretend that nothing happened, just you hanging on like this, Qiu Shaoyang hated his state very much, but he was really helpless.

"I'm not hungry." Qiu Shaoyang said, "What do you want to ask, just ask."

Mingtang picked up the soy milk and put it in his hand, "Then you drink the soy milk, we will start after you finish drinking."

Qiu Shaoyang glanced at him, Mingtang was serious, if he didn't drink Mingtang, he wouldn't ask.Qiu Shaoyang was a little helpless, "What are you doing so well to me? If you don't know, you might think you have something in mind for me."

Mingtang: "..."

"You are Tang Yan's friend, and I have known Tang Yan for several years, so I should take care of you a little bit more. If something happens to me, I'm afraid that Tang Yan will turn against me." Ming Tang paused, He continued: "Besides, you used to be our colleague, and you were a senior brother who was two years older than me. It's not inappropriate for a senior brother to take care of your senior brother. Besides, we should be considered friends now. As friends, I don't want to see you like this."

"Pity me?" Qiu Shaoyang looked at Mingtang without blinking.

Mingtang was embarrassed by him, but he still nodded honestly: "Yes, I sympathize with you. Anyone who went through your situation would sympathize. At the same time, I also care about you."

"You are quite calm." Qiu Shaoyang smiled slightly, and remembered that he asked himself if he had ever thought about joining the police force. In the end, Qiu Shaoyang drank a little of the soy milk, "Okay, since it's the younger brother's I don't want to spoil it, thank you."

Mingtang hummed, and stood up: "Then I'll go out and get ready, and start talking later?"

"it is good."

Mingtang went out for about 3 minutes, and when he came back, he was accompanied by a super handsome policeman. It was not the first time Qiu Shaoyang saw him, and he looked familiar.

The man nodded to Qiu Shaoyang, and introduced himself: "Mr. Qiu, hello, my name is Lu Changfeng, Er Donglu, Changfeng, who cuts the wind and waves, is Mingtang's partner."

Qiu Shaoyang gave him a smile, "You are so formal, do I want to show it?"

Lu Changfeng also smiled, "That's not necessary. Shall we start?"

Qiu Shaoyang nodded, he was ready.

Lu Changfeng and Mingtang sat down, Mingtang turned on the recording equipment, and Lu Changfeng was ready to take notes, the two looked at each other, and Mingtang asked.

"Tell us about how you found out that there was a body hidden in the sculpture."

Qiu Shaoyang clenched his hands on his knees, and he said slowly: "Perhaps because I have been a criminal policeman, I will get used to looking around when I go to a place. The sculpture has been around since the first time I saw it. It made me feel very uncomfortable, so I couldn't help but look at it a few more times. At first, I just thought the position of the sculpture was very strange, and it gave me the feeling that he was overlooking every person who went upstairs. This feeling gave me a very strong sense of oppression, which was quite different from what the entire exhibition hall wanted to express, so I did more research and found that the sculpture did not come from the same person as the other sculptures, so I had an extra heart. "

"As the ribbon cutting approached, my friend never showed up. When we got together and chatted, we found out that he might have been missing for several days. The first thought that flashed in my mind was not where he might go, but me. The sculpture behind. I know there is no scientific basis for this intuition, but my first instinct at the time was that my friend’s disappearance might be related to this sculpture. When others were looking for my friend, I walked around this sculpture. , when I turned to the back of the sculpture, I smelled a strange smell. Since a large number of sculptures on site are made of plaster, and the exhibition hall is newly renovated, the smell is not very obvious, so I didn't smell it at first Those of us who have worked as criminal police officers have been in contact with various corpses and smelled various corpse odors. We are very sensitive to corpse odor. So I guessed that there should be corpses in it. In fact, I am not 100% sure that there must be There were corpses, and considering that the business was about to open and the situation of the outside media was very special, Tang Yan was asked to go there for inspection first, and then call the police after confirmation."

After finishing speaking, Qiu Shaoyang let out a breath, and his tense nerves relaxed a lot, "You will know what happened later."

Mingtang nodded.

He had to admit that Qiu Shaoyang was indeed very sensitive. The corpse was tightly wrapped in plaster, and all kinds of smells were mixed at the scene. arrived.

"Then based on what you know about Li Jinwei, has he offended anyone, or has there been anything unusual recently?"

Qiu Shaoyang shook his head, "I really can't help you with this aspect. I have been abroad for eight years. I don't know anything about what happened to Li Jinwei during this period. After returning to China, I am so busy every day with so many things. I always pay attention to Li Jinwei's personal affairs. In addition, Li Jinwei himself is very nerdy, sometimes he shuts himself up for a month when he creates, and is in a state of being out of contact every day. Li Jinwei's initiative to contact him is the main thing for interpersonal communication. He can only do it when he is completely idle We'll meet up at a friend's bar for a drink and chat after we get off. I really can't help in this regard."

His understanding of Li Jinwei was really too little.

If it weren't for Mingtang and the others asking this time, Qiu Shaoyang would not have realized that his understanding of Li Jinwei was so shallow.

Mingtang said: "We checked his consumption records and found that he spent 40 yuan to order a diamond ring three months ago. Has he ever told you that he plans to propose or get married?"

The reason why Ming Tang thinks about this is because he combined Li Jinwei's income level and his daily consumption level to make a reasonable guess.

40 diamond rings are bought as soon as they are bought. If it is not such an important matter as a proposal or marriage, they should not be specially made to order.

Qiu Shaoyang was stunned when he heard the words, "How much?"

Mingtang said: "40."

A picture appeared in Qiu Shaoyang's mind, which happened a long time ago.

Li Jinwei often took a break from class to scribble and draw in his drawing book, and was very focused. Once he couldn't help but curiously asked him what he was painting.

Li Jinwei showed him the drawing, which was a drawing of a ring.

At that time, Qiu Shaoyang thought that Li Jinwei would be a ring designer in the future, and praised him for his good designs.

Li Jinwei told him that he wanted Song to give this ring to his future wife.

If it is the price of 40 yuan, after comprehensive consideration, Qiu Shaoyang felt that his guess was pretty close, so he asked Mingtang: "Do you have a ring pattern?"

Ming Tang found out the design he got from Li Jinwei's custom-made ring shop and showed it to Qiu Shaoyang. Qiu Shaoyang said, "It's this ring!"

"What do you know?" Mingtang was a little excited.

Qiu Shaoyang said: "You are right, this ring is indeed for his proposal."

Qiu Shaoyang told Mingtang what Li Jinwei said in high school.

"Are you sure it's the ring?"

Qiu Shaoyang nodded: "I'm sure."

Ming Tang was really happy at this time, this should be a clue, he also wanted to know what kind of person was worth Li Jinwei spending 40 to order a ring, he had a vague premonition that if he found the owner of this ring, their case should be closed It can break.
