"Officer, do you think a woman like me is clean?" Lin Yanran slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and squatted on the ground and said.
"What do you mean?" Ma Xiaotao asked with a frown.
"I cheated..." Lin Yanran said lightly. Ma Xiaotao did not answer. She took a puff of cigarette and continued:
"Actually, I have always regarded them as my backup. I want to find a rich man so that I don't have to do anything. I just need to lie in bed at night and buy what I want every day.
Why is it so difficult?" Lin Yanran scratched her hair and said.
Ma Xiaotao also sighed deeply, feeling that this woman's ideas were very strange, and she didn't want to do any ideological work for her, but Lin Yanran didn't seem to care about the death of her "husband".
"What's the name of the man lying on the ground?" Ma Xiaotao then asked.
"Luo Zhi." Lin Yanran said calmly, without any expression on her face.
"How long have you known him?" Ma Xiaotao asked.
"Half a year." Lin Yanran took a puff of cigarette.
"Okay, come with us to the police station later and cooperate with the investigation. Is that okay?" Ma Xiaotao said lightly.
Lin Yanran nodded, then stamped out the cigarette butt, leaned against the wall and played with her mobile phone.
Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but shook her head and walked into the room. At this time, Guo Guichuan was sitting on the bed obediently.
"Guo Guichuan, how did you and Lin Yanran meet?" Ma Xiaotao asked.
"Wine, bar, a bar on Ninth Street last week." Guo Guichuan said hesitantly.
Ma Xiaotao glanced at him, which frightened him so much that he couldn't help but move back.
"You must be a habitual offender." Ma Xiaotao said lightly.
"What, what kind of habitual criminal?!" Guo Guichuan asked with some vague understanding.
"Tell me, how many little girls have you deceived?" Ma Xiaotao asked. In fact, this was all her own guess, because this man deliberately pretended to be a rich man, seemingly just to deceive these little girls.
But what a coincidence, this time the little girl also wanted to trick him.
Guo Guichuan stretched out a few trembling fingers and looked at Ma Xiaotao with twinkling eyes.
"That's all..." The man held out six fingers with a smile.
"Six?!" Ma Xiaotao said with wide eyes.
Guo Guichuan nodded awkwardly, Ma Xiaotao frowned and raised her right hand as if she wanted to slap the man in the face, but she still endured it.
Seeing her raised right hand, Guo Guichuan couldn't help but move it back. Seeing that Ma Xiaotao didn't hit him, he also smiled awkwardly.
"Okay, come with us to the police station later, cooperate with our investigation, and ask your wife to pick you up." Ma Xiaotao said calmly.
"What, what? No, comrade policeman, my wife cannot know this, otherwise I will be dead!" Guo Guichuan knelt on the ground and cried.
Ma Xiaotao rolled her eyes at him and walked towards Song Yi without looking back.
"Captain Song, this is what happened..." Ma Xiaotao told Song Yi roughly what he had just asked, and Song Yi couldn't help but shake his head.
It seems that the only person related to this case now is the woman Lin Yanran...
At seven o'clock the next morning, Qin Nan woke up naturally. At this time, Wu Haotian had already cooked the noodles and put them on the table.
Qin Nan turned on his phone and looked at it, and saw a message from Song Yi at around three o'clock last night.
"We encountered a very strange murder case, are you interested?"
He couldn't help but frown. He didn't expect that Song Yi was still awake at that time last night, so he called back.
"Hey, Lao Song, what's going on?" Qin Nan asked.
"Ah~ Let's talk about it when you come. I'll sleep in the office for a while." After Song Yi finished speaking, he hung up the phone. It seems that this should have happened in the middle of the night.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him not to go home.
After Qin Nan finished eating noodles, he took a taxi and arrived at the police station not long after.
It was only after eight o'clock in the morning. I didn't expect that the police station would get into working mode so quickly. It seemed that something had indeed happened.
"Dong, dong, dong..." Qin Nan knocked on the door of Song Yi's office. It seemed that no one was inside. Just when he was about to take out his mobile phone to call Song Yi, the door suddenly opened.
"You're here, come in." Song Yi squinted at Qin Nan and said.
As soon as Qin Nan walked into Song Yi's office, he saw a folding bed set up next to his desk. He didn't have the habit of taking a lunch break at noon on weekdays. It seemed that this was the only time he would use the folding bed.
"What happened to Lao Song? Why are you sleeping in the office?" Qin Nan asked while sitting on the sofa.
Song Yi rubbed his eyes and yawned. He opened the curtains and windows, and then a biting chill came from inside the room, which also made him sober up.
Immediately, Lao Song told Qin Nan about the case that happened last night.
"Where are they now?" Qin Nan asked.
"We arranged for them to rest in the hotel next door. Do you want to interrogate them?" Song Yi said with a yawn.
Qin Nan nodded, and not long after, Lin Yanran was taken to the interrogation room.
"Why did you kill Luo Zhi?" Qin Nan asked calmly. This was his almost usual opening statement. The purpose was to test the suspect's reaction.
"Officer, I really didn't kill anyone. It was really just a coincidence. I don't know why he was in the closet." Lin Yanran explained.
Qin Nan didn't look at her like she was lying, and then took out the mobile phone in the evidence bag and said:
"What is the unlock code for Luo Zhi's cell phone? We found this inside his clothes last night."
"990520." the woman said.
"Is this your birthday?" Qin Nan guessed.
The woman nodded, and then Qin Nan opened the chat history in WeChat. Last night, Lin Yanran sent Luo Zhi a WeChat message,
After flipping through the pages, I came across a group of three people, and this group of three people was the last conversation Luo Zhi had with someone.
Qin Nan asked Lin Yanran some other questions and then left the interrogation room.
After Song Yi saw Qin Nan's face full of question marks, he asked:
"Any new discoveries?"
"Old Qin, did you open Luo Zhi's cell phone last night?" Qin Nan asked.
"I opened it and saw the group of three people. That was also his last chat. The chat history showed that they had a dinner party the night before yesterday." Song Yi recalled.
"Old Song, has the autopsy report been released?" Qin Nan asked.
"In a while, Li Bing and the others are conducting an autopsy. It was too late last night so we didn't call Li Bing and asked the forensic doctor on duty to roughly examine the body," Song Yi said.
Qin Nan nodded, and then returned to the office with Song Yi. The moment Qin Nan and Song Yi sat down, there was a knock on the door.
Li Bing was standing at the door holding a stack of reports.
"So fast?" Song Yi looked at Li Bing in surprise and said. Li Bing nodded, then opened the report and said:
"Team Song, the autopsy report is out, name is Luo Zhi, age is 32 years old, analysis of the body spots shows that he died about 36 hours ago.
The cause of death was certain abrasions in many parts of the body, four ribs in the chest were broken, and six ribs in the back were broken.
There were also some friction injuries on the head, severe leg fractures, and a ruptured spleen..."
"It's so serious, what kind of hatred?" Qin Nan said.
"I personally think there are two reasons for the death of the deceased. The first is that he fell down from a building, otherwise the ribs and fractures would not have been to the extent that he was beaten. The second possibility is almost zero.
Because no bruises were found on the skin tissue of the deceased, and the deceased showed no signs of resistance," Li Bing continued.
"Is it possible that the deceased was poisoned and then someone threw him downstairs?" Song Yi asked.
"It's impossible. No poison was found in the deceased's stomach, and there was no drug residue similar to anesthetics in the blood, only alcohol residue." Li Bing explained.
At this time, Qin Nan seemed to remember something, so he asked: "Are there any food residues such as food stalls in the deceased's stomach?"
Li Bing nodded. Song Yi saw Qin Nan smile meaningfully, so he asked: "Are there any new clues?"
