Chapter VII Find out the cause of death as soon as possible
Zhou Zhiping said in embarrassment: "Officer Lu, some files in the computer may involve business secrets or personal privacy, and it is not convenient for others to see them."
Lu Dongming raised his eyebrows high and snorted: "Assistant Zhou, don't forget, we are the police, not the paparazzi."
"That's not what I meant." Zhou Zhiping said sarcastically.
Lu Dongming patted Zhou Zhiping on the shoulder: "Cooperating with the police investigation is the obligation of every citizen. Don't worry, I am a person with very professional ethics. If it has nothing to do with the case, I will just pretend that I have not seen it, let alone spread it to the outside world."
.”
Yan Yishuai suddenly said: "Assistant Zhou, I have to ask you not to tell others about Director Di. We will contact the agency in an official way."
Now that the Internet is so developed, once the news of Di Xu's death is leaked, it will definitely make the headlines. The case has not yet been solved, and if it is posted online, it will inevitably bring pressure from public opinion.
Zhou Zhiping had no way to refute this and could only nod in agreement.
After checking the doors and windows, turning off the lights, the group exited the villa and put seals on the entrance door and courtyard door.
Yu Chengwei took two quick steps to Duanmo and said, "Let's have a meal together. There is a pretty good halal restaurant nearby."
"Thank you. Forget it this time. I'll give it a chance next time." Duan Mo declined politely.
Wei Meng raised her chin: "Don't worry, the road back to the city is not close. Let's go after eating to avoid getting hungry on the way and having to find a restaurant. Don't you think so, Lu?"
As she said that, she looked at Lu Wuchuan who was putting things in the trunk. It was understandable that he had a bad attitude because he was busy with work before, but now that he is done with his work, he should give him some face, right?
"No need, I still have things to do when I get back." Lu Wuchuan closed the trunk, walked around from the back of the car to the cab, opened the door, got in the car, and closed the door, all in one movement.
Although he still refused, his tone was finally better than before. Wei Meng smiled cheerfully and said: "Then I won't keep you. If you need our help later, just ask."
Knowing that Lu Wuchuan could not be polite to others, Yan Yishuai raised his chin and said, "Okay, I will inevitably trouble you in the future."
…
Di Xu is a director after all, and once his death becomes known to the outside world, it will inevitably become the focus of public attention.
The incident was serious. When the command center received the alarm, they heard that the deceased was director Di Xu. They sent the nearest police force to the scene and reported it directly to the bureau leadership.
The case was directly assigned to the special case team. After examining the body, Lu Wuchuan called Deputy Director Xie Changyu, who was in charge of criminal investigation, to report the situation at the scene.
Xie Changyu also felt a headache after hearing this. Di Xu's fatal injury was on his wrist, and a knife was left at the scene. In this case, it is difficult to directly judge whether it was suicide or homicide.
The top priority is to find out the cause of death as soon as possible, at least when asked by the media, to give a clear answer, so as to avoid being questioned about the police's incompetence and that they can't even figure out suicide or homicide.
The case was urgent, so the members of the special case team went directly back to the Municipal Public Security Bureau. After a hasty meal of takeout, they fell into intense work.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Duanmo concentrated on watching the surveillance video in front of the computer. The camera was about forty meters away from Villa B12 in Tinglanxuan. In addition to Di Xu's house, there were two other households within this distance.
However, there is a private road in front of each house. This camera cannot see the courtyard gates of these houses. The picture only shows the main road and a small green belt on the roadside.
Anyone who had not been to the scene would have mistakenly thought it was an ordinary road in a park, and would not have known that there was a mansion on one side of the road.
The picture was being played back at high speed. When the time display in the upper right corner of the screen jumped to 11:50 last night, Duanmo pressed the pause button.
Rewind and play at normal speed until a few minutes later, then rewind and play again. Repeat several times, record this segment separately, capture a relatively clear picture, and enlarge it.
Jiang Muyang stood up to get the water. Seeing her almost touching the screen, Jiang Muyang said funnyly: "Primary school girl, are you going to get into the computer?"
"Come and see." Duan Mo waved, but still didn't look away from the screen.
Upon hearing this, Yan Yishuai paused the computer in front of him and walked over.
Duanmo turned the screen back, and there was a straight road on the screen. The night was hazy, and the retro-style double-headed floor-standing street lamps a few meters apart on the roadside emitted soft light.
As time passed by, a shadow that was not very obvious appeared in the trees at the edge of the screen. In just ten seconds, the shadow disappeared from the screen.
"Damn, what the hell?" Jiang Muyang cursed.
Yan Yishuai hit him on the head: "Don't talk nonsense in the middle of the night, you stinky boy!"
Re-adjust the screen at the end, the static screenshot appears on the screen, zoom in, and zoom in again.
Jiang Muyang scratched his head: "You can't see clearly! Dong Ming, come here quickly."
Lu Dongming, who was at the conference table, had been concentrating on studying Di Xu's laptop. When he heard someone calling him, his fingers kept flying on the keyboard: "What's the matter?"
"Hurry up, come here." Jiang Muyang was about to pull him away.
Lu Dongming finally stopped his hand, raised his eyelids and gritted his teeth: "You better have something important, or I'll kill you!"
Deciphering computer passwords was not a difficult task for him. The key was that many folders in Di Xu's notebook had passwords set, and they were not all the same, which wasted a lot of time on him.
Duanmo pulled the picture to a size she thought was suitable, leaned back and half-squinted her eyes: "No matter how I look at it, I feel like this is a person's shoulder."
Lu Dongming touched his chin and examined it for a moment, then said: "Send me a copy of this paragraph."
He has a very professional computer, which was configured according to his requirements when the special case team was established.
The video recording was transmitted, and about ten minutes later, a specially processed picture appeared on the screen.
Compared with the previous picture, this time it is much clearer. Not only can you clearly see that it is a shoulder, but you can even see a few strands of long hair blown by the wind.
Both sides of this road are landscaped green belts with not only flowers and plants, but also trimmed and shaped trees.
Even if ordinary people take a walk in the park, they will only walk along the roadside and will not trample the green plants on both sides.
This person obviously walked through the green belt to avoid the camera. The trees were not planted in rows for the overall shape. Walking in it, it was necessary to twist and turn, so he left this trace of shoulders.
"How's it going? You're awesome, buddy!" Lu Dongming raised his chin proudly.
Jiang Muyang raised his thumb and said, "That's awesome! It's been sunny these two days. Maybe you can still find footprints on the ground."
