Criminal Investigation Notes

This is the last grand event in five years. In order to watch this fireworks show, hundreds of thousands of people will gather in the open space in front of the Lunjiang River.

With so many people standing together, stampede accidents are prone to occur. It is also a period of high incidence of theft, and children are prone to get lost.

In order to maintain order on the scene, the city bureau branch and the relevant personnel in various police stations have long been waiting for the enemy.

The seven-day holiday is undoubtedly something that office workers are looking forward to.But as a policeman, you are not as lucky as ordinary people. The traffic police have to maintain the traffic, the film police have to strengthen patrols, and the anti-pakists have to catch thieves everywhere. Even the anti-pornography and anti-narcotics activities are a bit more busy than usual.

The only thing that is better at this time is the criminal police. Only when there are dead people, they need to be busy. If there are no dead people, they can enjoy the holiday.

But it seems that things are counterproductive.This was a big holiday, but there was a murder case.

When Song Wen and Lu Siyu came out of the theater, the detailed address was also sent, Hongfang Street, Lianhua Mingyue Tower, that is a famous Cantonese restaurant in Nancheng, where the consumption is very high, it is usually difficult to book a location, let alone This is the holiday day.

Song Wen and Lu Siyu took the bags out of the screening room. Song Wen went to throw away the popcorn bucket and drink cup, washed their hands, and prepared to wait for the start of work.When the two walked out of the theater, it was completely dark.

At this time, the number of people on the road has obviously increased, and the flow of people began to gather towards the banks of the Lunjiang River. Song Wen and Lu Siyu were squeezed in the flow of people. Not long after, they saw the iconic full moon and white giant of the Lotus Moon Tower. Lianhua, now a few words are displayed on the electronic screen next to it, blinking constantly-"Suspended for business".

Lianhua Mingyue Tower is a well-known chain restaurant. This one is their Nancheng main store. It is five stories high and focuses on the combination of ancient style and modernity.His dishes are also based on ancient recipes with some modern ideas.

The main store is famous for the huge full moon and the white lotus logo, which can be seen across several intersections.

The representative dish is the famous lotus feast. Every year when the lotus blossoms, it is available in limited quantities. The freshest ingredients are picked and made into various delicious dishes with lotus seeds, lotus pots, lotus leaves, lotus roots.

Song Wen and Lu Siyu walked over. They saw a pool of dried blood on the walking road not far from the entrance of the hotel. It was only a short time before the crime occurred. The bloodstain has been trampled everywhere by people. Determine the location.Those who came later did not know that there had just been a murder here.

Lu Siyu knelt down and frowned slightly. Now that there are so many people on the street, it seems that the policemen and shopkeepers who came here are reluctant to put the body at the door and move directly.

He understood this behavior very well. At this time, there was a dead person on the road, which could easily cause onlookers and stampede accidents. However, in this first scene, all the information left was destroyed...

Those dried bloodstains have been stepped on by people's footprints so that they can no longer see the original shape.

Song Wen raised his head and looked up. This is the most prosperous neighborhood in South City. The Lotus Moon Tower is at the corner of the crossroads, not too high. Not far away, dozens or even hundreds of high-rise buildings are surrounded by various lights. Reflecting to set off here as a recession of modern society.

The windows on this side of the Mingyue Tower were guarded, but there was a large open-air platform on the fifth floor.

The building of the restaurant is relatively high, it is said to be the fifth floor, about 20 meters above the ground, which is equivalent to the seventh or eighth floors of a normal house.

The deceased appeared to have fallen from the platform. Song Wen patted Lu Siyu and said, "Let's go, the outside is almost destroyed, go in and take a look."

The two knocked on the door of Lianhua Mingyue Tower, and there was a small policeman inside.

Ordinary guests have been dismissed. At this time, the entire lobby on the first floor is empty, the tables are full of leftovers that have not had time to clean up, and there is a smell of Buddha jumping over the wall in the air.

The boss here is a man in his forties. At this time, he is still calm, with a sad look on his face, presumably because the business closure has affected the business, and he is also worried about whether there will be fewer customers in the future.

The boss saw the two coming in and walked over: "The two police comrades came from the city bureau? There were too many people outside. There was no way. We carried the body in from the outside..." He pointed to the hall. The corpse was temporarily placed here, covered with a white cloth stained with blood.

The foreman of the waiter on the side also said: "We were busy in the store just now, and suddenly heard a bang outside, someone screamed that someone had fallen downstairs. Then a few people ran downstairs, all with this woman. People who ate together, shouting'teacher' or something, we hurriedly called the police."

Song Wen asked: "Did any witnesses see how she fell?"

The shop manager shook his head: "No one saw it. It was the guests from the room near the platform in the private room on the fifth floor. Today they were a few people to gather together. Our platform is for guests to smoke or chat. It has been opened all year round. The weather has been cold recently and there are not many people going up. The guardrails and security of the platform all meet the standards, and we did not expect that someone would fall from it."

At that time, the people around were extremely frightened, and no one had forgotten to raise their heads and take a look at the platform... Therefore, there were no witnesses.

Song Wen asked again: "What about monitoring?"

The little policeman on the side said: "We all looked at it just now. That angle is a blind spot for surveillance."

It seems that this fall event is not easy to determine immediately.

The police inferred the cause of death from the fall, and the location of the body was an important factor, but now, the body has been moved, leaving only a smear of blood that was stepped on.Due to the lack of reference, the error is large.

In other words, they cannot judge how the body fell by the parabola and the landing position.

Lu Siyu walked over, put on the gloves he brought with him, and lifted the white cloth on the corpse. The corpse was lying on its stomach, probably moved in in the posture of falling from a building, without turning over.

The deceased was a middle-aged woman who looked more than 40 years old, her eyes were slightly open, and her death was very miserable.

The white cloth was lifted away, and the waitresses on the side retreated in fear.

Song Wen said to Lu Si: "Lao Lin and none of them are nearby tonight, I guess it will take you hard."

"It's no hard work." Lu Siyu said and knelt down to check carefully. When he approached the corpse, his white face had a focused expression, and that expression was different from Lin Xiuran's professionalism. His eyes swept across, as if That is something interesting in the world.

Lu Siyu first smelled the smell of blood, mixed with heavy alcohol, and the woman drew light makeup. At this time, the makeup had already been spent. The foundation was stuck on the face piece by piece, and the lipstick was long gone. come out.The woman's hair is very long, perm and curly, a little messy, and there are some white hair in the black hair. It may be because of blood, which is a little wet at this time.

Lu Siyu frowned slightly, stretched out his hand through the gloves and stroked the corpse's hair, then put it under his nose and smelled it. The hair smelled of wine and some cake cream.

Then Lu Siyu touched it carefully, and began to examine the head of the body.

The female corpse's eyes were half open, because she was getting older and her metabolism slowed down. Those eyes were fish-eyes, and they were still a little red at this time. Lu Siyu flipped his gloves to see that there was some congestion in her eyes.There was bleeding from her forehead and nose, and the blood from her mouth stained her chin. Looking closely, there were some tiny blood foam beside her mouth.There seemed to be some red marks on her cheeks, I don't know if it was a scratch on the ground.

Lu Siyu touched the body of the deceased with his hand. The temperature had begun to drop, but it was still warm.

It is a pity that there is no survey box at hand, and the rectal temperature cannot be measured. However, based on the time of the alarm, they can presume that the time of death from the fall is between 6:40 and 50.

It is about seven o’clock, and the corpse has formed. Obviously, many fractures can be felt, and they are all on the left side, such as the wrist of the left hand, the shoulder, and the shin of the left leg. From this judgment, the corpse is on the left side. , In line with the characteristics of falling buildings.

Then Lu Siyu greeted Song Wen to help him turn the corpse over. Looking at it this way, there were more water stains on the corpse. There was blood, some alcohol, clean water, and maybe some sweat. A thin layer of water was soaked. The clothes of the deceased.At the location of the left rib, Lu Siyu clearly felt several fractures.

The superficial examination was almost done. Lu Siyu raised his good-looking eyes, and his eyelashes were distinct under the light of the hotel’s ceiling light: "The injuries were mild and severe, mostly unilateral. The cause of death may be a rib fracture that pierced the lungs. And the heart caused the deceased’s death on the spot, and his body was all obvious fall injuries. At least it is certain that the deceased fell alive. Other estimates will have to wait for an autopsy and check for abnormalities in the blood."

The meaning of this is that it is not a corpse, but a living person.

After saying these words, Lu Siyu turned over the deceased’s pocket again. There was no mobile phone and no key in it. It seemed that her personal belongings were all placed elsewhere, and finally his eyes fell on the deceased’s hand. Lu Siyu's hand clenched an empty fist. It was very difficult to open it due to the stiff body. Lu Siyu took a closer look, confirmed that there was nothing in it, and gave up.

"It was nothing more than three situations: she jumped off the building, fell to her death accidentally, or was pushed down by someone else." Song Wen turned around and asked the little policeman, "Is there anything abnormal in the surrounding area?"

The film policeman introduced to Song Wen: "Because there was a firework show at night, this area was a key protection area. We happened to be patrolling nearby and arrived at the scene within two minutes. At that time, many people were watching. We were afraid. The corpse caused a riot on the road. After taking a few pictures of the scene, he consulted his superiors and carried the corpse in."

Song Wendao: "Let's take a look at the photos. Are all the guests here?"

The little policeman nodded and sent the photo on the phone.

Lu Siyu came over and took a look. Due to limited equipment, time, and technology, the photos were not very clear, there was no ruler, and the angle was very single, so the reference value was not great.

The little policeman continued: "Just now we and the clerk asked other unrelated guests to check in and leave the shop. The deceased's tablemates were all detained. There were five people, and one was not let go."

Song Wen asked again: "Is the identity of the deceased confirmed?"

"The deceased was named Zhang Dongmei, a mathematics teacher in the junior high school of Nancheng No. 1 Middle School. He seemed to be a well-known gold medal teacher in the city. We went up and asked briefly. Several of the students at the same table were her students. Zhang Dongmei used to be Their junior high school head teacher, who graduated for ten years, came back to the party. It was a thank-you banquet."

After hearing this, Lu Siyu, who was squatting to check the body, raised his head.

"Master Xie Yan?" Song Wen also gently repeated.

Xie Shiyan, the teacher who was supposed to be the protagonist fell from a height.Is this suicide, accident or murder?
