Volume Two, Chapter Ten, The Woman Falling from the Building 2
At this moment, the police from a nearby jurisdiction hurried over and said to them, "We found out, Captain Meng, the deceased's name is Zhou Xiaodie, she is single, she has a child, and she is currently living at her parents' house."
Meng Kenan asked, "Single? Divorced or something else?"
The policeman replied, "The deceased's husband's name was Bai Longqiang. He died in a traffic accident three years ago. According to the information, she is now single."
"I am single and live alone. If it was suicide, why didn't I leave a suicide note or anything, and there are no traces of anything unusual in the house. Is it an accident?" Xiao Zhu came to such a scene for the first time, although he had some judgments in his mind.
, but I just thought about it and didn’t choose to say it.
"Was that traffic accident an accident?" Lu Sheng suddenly asked after hearing it.
"We don't know this. The accident happened in Meizhou."
"Lao Meng, this woman is single. Her husband has been dead for many years. There is nothing unusual in the house. If it is an accident or suicide, the initial guess should be to rule out homicide. But you know your intuition, I always feel that something is fishy.
"
Hearing that Lu Sheng's judgment was roughly the same as his own, Xiao Zhu quickly nodded in agreement.
Meng Kenan was also confused now, "Let's wait for the forensic results first and see what they say."
Lu Sheng continued to watch in the room. He walked to the living room, came to the sofa, and gently touched the surface of the coffee table with his fingers. He found a lot of dust. Did she not clean the room or did she not live here all year round?
"Lao Meng, would a woman in her forties not clean her room?"
"I don't know about others, but my daughter-in-law Yan Yan wants to clean her up twice a day." Meng Kenan thought that his daughter-in-law should be about the same age as Zhou Xiaodie. Although she is not forty years old, she is still in her thirties.
"No one has lived in this room for a long time." Lu Sheng said as he walked into the kitchen.
There were no traces of use in the kitchen. Even at the sink, there was no water stain on the dry surface. Lu Sheng walked to the refrigerator again and reached out to open it. The large refrigerator was empty.
anything.
"This kitchen has probably not been used for a long time." Lu Sheng said to Xiao Zhu beside him, "Come with me to the property management office later and pull out the monitoring of the past few days."
"I guess Zhou Xiaodie may have come back in the past few days. From the time she came back, check the videos before and after to see if there are any abnormalities."
Lu Sheng discovered such a small detail and had a clear direction of investigation. The previous discussion with Lu Sheng was just on paper, but today it finally came into practice. Xiao Zhu suddenly felt that his master was very impressive.
admire.
Everyone left the scene and started further work. Lu Sheng and Xiao Zhu did not go home, but went directly to the police station.
Many things were the first time for Xiao Zhu. He was very excited and looking forward to the next investigation. After receiving the surveillance video from the property management company, he had no intention of sleeping and decided to start checking the video overnight.
Viewing surveillance videos is actually a very boring job. Sometimes you may not know what you are looking at or what you are looking for. You may stare at the screen for more than ten hours or even dozens of hours. If you make a discovery
It's okay, but more often than not, there is no gain.
"Why don't you wait for the forensic results to come out before you look for her again? Maybe her death was just an accident, and then your efforts are in vain." Lu Sheng kindly reminded Xiao Zhu, took out the recliner and prepared to sleep for a while.
"It's almost dawn, why don't we all watch it together after we wake up and wait for the brothers to arrive."
"I'll just pretend that I'm familiar with the business." Xiao Zhu said to Lu Sheng, but he was thinking, "It's best if I can find some clues."
Xiao Zhu even hoped that it would be better not to be an accident, but that there would be such a murderer. Xiao Zhu didn't know how he had such an idea. But now, he has no time to think about the sinfulness of such an idea. He just
He was completely focused on the video.
Xiao Zhu carefully looked at Zhou Xiaodie's identity information and physical features. Starting from the day of her death, he looked forward to look for Zhou Xiaodie's figure in the video.
Lu Sheng had fallen asleep, and Xiao Zhu was alone in front of the computer, watching with concentration, not missing any detail.
On the day of Zhou Xiaodie's death, she was not seen in the videos from all angles. It was just one day's information. Xiao Zhu had already seen the sunrise from early morning.
He didn't feel tired at all, and planned to continue watching the video from the previous day.
Lu Sheng, who had already woken up, was standing behind him, "I said, stop reading now, take a rest and have some breakfast."
Xiao Zhu wanted to refuse, but was pulled up by Lu Sheng, "Watching videos cannot be done by one person. Let's leave it to the professional brothers. Let's go."
The two of them had already arrived at a breakfast shop near the police station and started eating fried dough sticks and soy milk.
"Did you find anything?"
"No, I gained nothing. She probably didn't go out all day." Xiao Zhu's voice was full of disappointment, but also mixed with more expectations, "I didn't find her appearing in the surveillance for a whole day.
."
"Didn't show up? Haven't you gone out all day?" Lu Sheng repeated Xiao Zhu's words in surprise. The hand holding the fried dough sticks stopped not far from his mouth. The fried dough sticks were waiting anxiously with their bodies bent.
Seeing Lu Sheng stop suddenly, Xiao Zhu stopped eating and looked at him with some confusion, "There is really nothing. Does this mean anything?"
Lu Sheng did not answer Xiao Zhu's question immediately, but remained silent. After a while, he began to whisper something in a low voice.
After thinking for a while, he said, "I guess Zhou Xiaodie came back one or two days before the incident."
Xiao Zhu didn't understand why Lu Sheng suddenly made a guess. He said nothing and waited for Lu Sheng to continue his analysis.
"What did she eat after not going out all day? The kitchen is clean, the refrigerator is empty, and there are no takeaway lunch boxes found in the house. It is very likely that she has not eaten all day. One day is fine, but it is impossible for several days in a row.
They don’t even eat.”
Xiao Zhu looked at Lu Sheng in surprise. He found such an important clue in the video where he had found nothing. "Master, you are really amazing. You have discovered such clues, and you made them out of nothing."
?"
"Don't use idioms randomly. I like to be literal. Don't flatter me and use idioms randomly." Lu Sheng glanced at Xiao Zhu with a smile, started eating fried dough sticks again, and continued, "We must connect all the discoveries and look for clues.
, there is no such thing as nothing, you just haven’t discovered the inner connection yet.”
"Hmm, I won't dare to draw conclusions easily next time, haha, I will analyze it carefully."
Xiao Zhu knew that the clues Lu Sheng had just found now foreshadowed two discoveries, "In addition to being able to guess the time of her return, which of course should be determined in a while, there is also another question, which is why she didn't eat all day.
