Chapter two hundred and nineteen things are not so simple
"Most people would say that they fell into the water or asked for help," Qin Nan said.
"Uncle, you probably have an occupational disease. Let's talk about it when we get there," Ma Xiaotao said.
Qin Nan sighed. He also hoped that he was overthinking it. It didn't take long for a few people to arrive near the stone arch bridge in People's Park. It was nine-twenty minutes in the morning.
Before I even walked to the scene of the crime, I saw several doctors in white coats surrounding one person. They were all standing. It seemed that the victim lying on the ground had no way to save himself.
It's no wonder that the caller said that his mother drowned. If nothing else, it should be the conclusion reached by the treating doctor.
"Give way, police." Ma Xiaotao and the others squeezed to the front of the crowd and saw the old man lying on the ground. Next to him was a thirty-five-year-old man kneeling, covering his face and tearing his heart out.
crying.
"Mom, why are you so careless? Why did you commit suicide? What will our father do? And your grandson, wow..." The man cried bitterly.
"Oh, why is this aunt so careless? This happened in the park so early in the morning." Passerby A said.
"No, I heard from the sanitation workers over there that they came in over the wall, and it's not the park's opening time yet," Passerby B said.
"Alas, life is unpredictable. My condolences, young man." Passerby C said.
The man who was kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly was the person who reported the crime this time. His name was Zheng Wei. He was thirty-five years old this year. This is a mature age, but this man looked a little slovenly.
His hair was very messy, and it seemed that he had not washed his hair for a while. He was wearing a leather jacket and a pair of jeans. When he got close to him at a certain distance, he smelled a relatively strong smell of second-hand smoke.
The old woman lying on the ground, named Azhen, is sixty-nine years old. Judging from her clothes, her family conditions are not very good, because the big cotton-padded jacket has patches visible to the naked eye.
,
Even the shoes on the old man's feet were in the same condition, as if they had been worn for a long time.
Qin Nan looked at Azhen lying on the ground and then at Zheng Wei, always feeling that something was wrong.
When Zheng Wei took his hands off his face, Qin Nan frowned because there was an obvious scratch on Zheng Wei's face, and his body was still bloodshot.
Judging from the wound, it should have been left less than an hour ago. If it was an old injury or a wound from an hour ago, the platelets would have solidified the blood in the wound into dark red.
Qin Nan frowned and walked up to Zheng Wei. Before he could speak, Zheng Wei took his arms and cried:
"Comrade police officer, my mother is gone. What should I do? How could this happen? If I had known I wouldn't go to the toilet, I wouldn't have left!"
Qin Nan showed an imperceptible smile. He had clearly seen the wound on Zheng Wei's face from a close distance. It was an obvious scratch.
"Don't be impatient, Mr. Zheng, please tell me what's going on first," Qin Nan said.
Zheng Wei wiped his tears and said with sobs: "The thing is, I haven't been with my mother for a long time. We were walking in the park this morning and I asked my mother to wait for me on the bridge.
I went to use the toilet, but when I came back, my mother didn’t know where she had gone. Later, I searched everywhere in the park and asked many sanitation workers in the park, but they all said they didn’t see my mother.
Later, someone said that they found a person who seemed to be on the water under the bridge. When I came here, I discovered that it was my mother." The man started crying again as he spoke.
Qin Nan looked up at the stone arch bridge next to him, which was seven or eight meters above the water. He asked Wu Haotian to comfort Zheng Wei first, and then walked to the stone arch bridge.
At this time, there were many people standing on the bridge, all gathered around to observe the situation below. Qin Nan came to the middle of the stone arch bridge, and he lay down on the guardrail of the bridge.
For his height of 1.8 meters, the guardrail just reached down to his chest, while A-Zhen was only 1.6 meters tall. In other words, the guardrail just reached her shoulders.
If he was leaning against the railing, he would never be able to climb down. There seemed to be only two possibilities: one was suicide, and the other was homicide.
Qin Nan saw the doctors and nurses below carrying a stretcher, as if they wanted to send the old man to the hospital to issue a death certificate.
Upon seeing this, Qin Nan hurriedly ran down, stopped the doctors and nurses who were about to carry Azhen onto the stretcher, and said:
"Wait a minute, I want to ask the forensic doctor to do an autopsy."
When Zheng Wei heard this, he started to feel a little flustered and excited with tears in his eyes. He hurried to Qin Nan's side, held his hand and cried:
"Why do we need an autopsy? My mother is already pitiful enough. Can't she be allowed to leave quietly?!"
"Until the matter is investigated clearly, we cannot apply for a death certificate for the time being. I'm sorry, I don't think this mother-in-law's death was an accident," Qin Nan said.
"What, how could it not be an accident? This is obviously an accident." Zheng Wei said with some excitement.
Wu Haotian quickly pulled Zheng Wei away and said, "What are you doing, attacking the police? If this case is a homicide, don't you want to know who wanted to kill your mother?"
"I...I..." Zheng Wei began to hesitate.
"The guardrail on this stone arch bridge is 1.4 meters high, and your mother's height is about 1.6 meters. In other words, there is a high possibility that your mother committed suicide. Of course, the possibility of suicide cannot be ruled out.
But the possibility of suicide is almost zero, so we have to go to your home to investigate and see if there is anything like a suicide note." Qin Nan said.
"It must be suicide, it must be suicide, okay, policemen, I will listen to you!" Zheng Wei changed his mind and said.
Qin Nan then called Song Yi and told him about some of the things he had investigated so far. Song Yi was also a little fishy, so he called in forensic doctors from other teams.
Not long after, Azhen's body was brought to the police station by the forensic doctors. The people around him gradually dispersed, and the doctors and nurses also left the scene.
Qin Nan then asked Zheng Wei to get into the police car and prepare to rush to his home. His family lived in a community less than one kilometer away, so they quickly arrived at the gate of the community.
Several people were lucky enough to get into an elevator alone. As soon as the elevator door closed, Zheng Wei's cell phone rang.
Zheng Wei was also very confused when he saw this unfamiliar number. After he answered the call, before he could speak, the man on the other side of the phone cursed:
"When will you pay back the money, you bastard? If you don't pay back, I will come to your door..."
Before the man on the other end of the phone finished speaking, Zheng Wei hung up the phone. He looked at the people on the side. Qin Nan and the others didn't seem to hear the voice on the phone. He couldn't help but sigh.
What Zheng Wei didn't know was that even though he didn't turn on the speakerphone, Qin Nan and the others still listened to every word, just because they didn't want to disturb him.
Qin Nan glanced at Zheng Wei inadvertently. If this was the case, he really felt that there was something wrong with Zheng Wei.
With a "ding" sound, the elevator door opened. Zheng Wei walked to the front first and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, several people smelled a bad smell. At the same time, a "woo woo woo" sound came from a bedroom.
After hearing this, Qin Nan and others walked directly to the bedroom and found an old man paralyzed in bed.
"Is this your father?" Qin Nan asked.
"Yes, that's right, my father suffered from a stroke, a heart attack, and some other complications. He is now paralyzed in bed..." Zheng Wei said.
The three of them looked at each other and felt that there were some things they couldn't say in front of the old man. Just when Qin Nan and the others had just stepped out of the bedroom door, Zheng Wei hurriedly walked to the old man and cried:
"Dad, I'm sorry for you. Mom accidentally fell into the water and died after taking a walk this morning. It's all my fault."
After the old man heard this, he frowned slightly and his eyes widened a bit. He seemed a little unconvinced and thought Zheng Wei was joking with him.
But when I saw Zheng Wei's nose and tears, and saw the police coming to the house, I felt that something was wrong...
