The security captain, school leaders, and Ning Xue's counselor who were on duty that night rushed to the lake quickly after receiving the call from the police. Yu Hanjiang questioned them one by one.
The security guard said that they were patrolling the gymnasium at the time of the incident. Because there was an annual campus singer competition tonight, they were worried about potential safety hazards at the scene. Most of the manpower was sent to the competition site, but no one paid attention to the lake and did not notice it.
Suspicious person.
The counselor, Teacher Zhang, looked in disbelief. She looked at the body at her feet with wide eyes and said: "Ning Xue has a lively and cheerful personality. She is excellent at singing and dancing. She can also play the piano. She is a versatile girl.
The classmates here got along very well, and I didn’t hear that she had any grudges with anyone, nor did I hear that she encountered any difficulties recently... How could she die suddenly?"
Yu Hanjiang asked: "Do you know her family situation?"
Teacher Zhang thought for a moment and said, "Her father is a doctor and her mother is a nurse. They both work in the People's Hospital of this city."
Yu Hanjiang said: "Give me her parents' contact information."
Teacher Zhang said: "Okay, but I have to check it on the computer in the office. All the students' information is on the computer."
Yu Hanjiang nodded: "After you find it, print a copy and give it to me."
After a while, Teacher Zhang printed out a copy of the class address book and handed it to Yu Hanjiang. It was already half past nine in the evening, and the host in the gymnasium said excitedly: "Now, let's invite the champion of this competition, Ye Qi.
Classmates come up to the stage to receive the award!”
The host's voice was amplified by the microphone and clearly reached everyone's ears, followed by deafening applause and cheers, with countless people shouting the name "Ye Qi".
The screams and applause in the stadium were deafening. The school leader looked ugly. He leaned into Yu Hanjiang's ear and said, "Officer Yu, thousands of students gathered for the school's singing competition tonight. They will all pass by the lake after the show.
If they see a dead body and know that someone is dead in the lake, the students will definitely panic, and it will also have a bad image on the school's reputation. Do you think this matter can be..."
Yu Hanjiang said simply: "I understand that our forensic doctors will transport the body away soon. Please keep the matter of the body found in the lake tonight secret for now and don't mention a word to the outside world. Before the police give a clear answer,
, and don’t speculate too much.”
The school leader immediately nodded: "Okay, we will definitely cooperate with the investigation fully."
Yu Hanjiang waved behind him, and two forensic assistants came over, carried the body to the corpse truck, and closed the door. The corpse truck quickly drove out of the campus, and Yu Hanjiang asked these people to go back to the police team to do a detailed investigation.
record.
Xiao Lou and Liu Qiao were also among them.
After arriving at the police station, a young criminal police officer took them to the interrogation room to take notes. Xiao Lou and Liu Qiao were very cooperative and described all the information they had seen. Yu Hanjiang did not appear again. Xiao Lou was anxious, but there was nothing he could do. After all,
Yu Hanjiang is not his teammate now, and he has no idea that he and Liu Qiao need to solve the puzzle to complete the mission.
After coming out of the police force, Liu Qiao frowned and said, "Professor Xiao, what should we do next? Captain Yu will not take the initiative to reveal clues about the case to us. If we ask directly, we can't possibly get the result, right?"
This is also what gives Xiao Lou a headache.
It would be easier if Yu Hanjiang was a teammate, just invite him out for dinner. Yu Hanjiang would naturally tell Xiao Lou all the clues related to the case and his analysis of the case, and discuss it with Xiao Lou.
But now, Xiao Lou and Liu Qiao are passers-by who discovered the body, and Yu Hanjiang is the criminal police captain...
Criminal police must keep confidentiality when handling cases, and Yu Hanjiang cannot take the initiative to tell them this confidential information. Regardless of coercion or inducement, it is difficult to pry Yu Hanjiang's mouth to get clues from him. And most of the evidence in the case is in the hands of the police.
, Xiao Lou wants to know, there is only one way - steal.
He looked back helplessly at the door of the criminal police team and whispered in Liu Qiao's ear: "It seems that we can only be a 'gentleman on the bridge' once, sneaking into the police team in the dead of night and stealing information related to the case."
Liu Qiao thought for a while and said: "I can also become the size of a thumb and hide it in Captain Yu's pocket."
"Yu Hanjiang's vigilance is too strong. It's easy to be discovered if he hides it. How about..." Xiao Lou glanced around and saw the young detective who had just followed Yu Hanjiang walk into the police building with a man and a woman.
Xiao Lou winked at Liu Qiao: "You make me smaller and hide me in the pocket of this young police officer. This person should be the intern that Yu Hanjiang is leading, and he will definitely participate in the process of solving the case."
"Understood." Liu Qiao understood, and immediately hid in the shadows and reduced Xiao Lou to the size of his thumb. Then he walked over, pretending to "accidentally" bump his shoulder with the trainee police officer, and smoothly put the thumb-sized Xiao Lou into the
Police officer's pocket.
The young police officer was hit inexplicably and turned back to look at the girl in front of him in confusion.
Liu Qiao bowed apologetically: "Huh, sorry, I was distracted just now and didn't look at the road."
The police officer recognized her, smiled and said: "It's okay, go back and calm down, think about anything you missed, and contact us as soon as possible if you think of any clues."
Liu Qiao nodded, turned and left.
Xiao Lou hid in his pocket and followed the three people into the building. The young police officer knocked on Yu Hanjiang's office and whispered: "Captain Yu, these two are Ning Xue's parents, who came to identify the body after receiving a call.
"
Yu Hanjiang stood up: "You two, please come this way."
He personally led the two of them out of the back door and to another building nearby.
In the long corridor, the incandescent lamp above the head exudes cold light. Yu Hanjiang's expression is cold and serious, but the face of the middle-aged couple is as pale as paper, and the woman's legs are shaking when she walks.
Until Yu Hanjiang opened the door, the forensic doctor in the room took a look at him and lifted the white cloth covering the body.
The woman's legs went weak, she rushed over and knelt next to the body, collapsed and cried loudly: "Xiaoxue, my daughter! What on earth is going on? How could my daughter suddenly die!"
The man's face was ashen. He gently patted his wife's back to comfort her and said, "Officer, was my daughter's body found in the lake? Who killed her?"
Yu Hanjiang said: "We haven't dissected the body yet, so we can't determine the specific cause of death."
The man was stunned for a moment, frowned and said: "Didn't he drown?"
Yu Hanjiang said: "On the surface, she died from drowning, but before she fell into the lake, did she take other drugs, or was she knocked unconscious and then thrown into the lake? This requires detailed anatomy to determine.
Before the forensic autopsy can be concluded, the family members need to sign a consent form."
The man gritted his teeth and said, "I'll sign! My daughter can't just die for no reason. The police officer must find her murderer and give her justice!"
Yu Hanjiang asked in a low voice: "How are you sure that Ning Xue will not commit suicide by throwing herself into the lake?"
The man clenched his fists angrily: "My Xiaoxue has been cheerful since she was a child. When we went home for dinner a few days ago, she was joking with us. How could she suddenly commit suicide?!"
The woman also stopped crying at this time, and while wiping her tears, she choked and said: "Yes, it is absolutely impossible for my daughter to commit suicide. Please, police officer, you must find out which beast killed me.
daughter!"
The two family members were very emotional. Yu Hanjiang comforted them a few words and asked the trainee police officer to send them away.
Xiao Lou stayed in the pocket of trainee policeman Xiao Wu and had no choice but to follow Xiao Wu. When Xiao Wu returned to the autopsy room, the forensic doctor had already obtained the results, and Yu Hanjiang and the forensic doctor were discussing in low voices.
The female forensic doctor said: "Judging from the autopsy results, the deceased inhaled a large amount of lake water, and components consistent with lake water can be detected deep in the nasal cavity and in the alveoli of the lungs, indicating that she was not thrown into the lake after her death.
But he threw himself into the lake before his death."
She took out another report and said: "The alcohol content in her blood exceeded the standard, indicating that she had drank a lot before her death. In addition, no other drugs or traces of poison metabolism were found in the blood, and a large amount of
Undigested beef, which she had eaten within an hour of her death."
Yu Hanjiang frowned and looked at the corpse on the stage: "What about sexual life?"
The female forensic doctor said: "She has had sex in the past two days. Judging from the traces, it is not mandatory. There are no traces of surgical abortion in the uterus. She should have a regular male partner."
Yu Hanjiang: "There are no other injuries on the body?"
The female forensic doctor shook her head: "After careful inspection, there was no trauma and no damage to the organs."
Xiao Wu, a trainee police officer, had been taking notes carefully, which happened to allow Xiao Lou to hear this conversation clearly.
Suddenly, Yu Hanjiang looked back at him: "Xiao Wu, what do you think?"
The intern who was asked the question was obviously a little nervous. He tensed his back, scratched his hair, and said slowly: "The deceased's parents, teachers, and classmates all said that she had a cheerful and sunny personality and was very popular. She couldn't be inexplicable.
There is no possibility of suicide, and there is no possibility of homicide. Judging from the results of the autopsy, no external injuries, internal injuries, lungs, and nasal residues were found on the deceased, which can prove that she died of drowning."
The more the intern talked, the more he felt that his conjecture was reasonable. He paused and then analyzed: "The deceased had drunk a lot of alcohol before falling into the lake. In addition, the footprints found by the lake were only those of the deceased, and they were obviously a little messy.
, I think the most likely possibility is that the deceased drank too much and had hallucinations after being drunk. When he was passing by the lake, he accidentally fell into the lake and drowned."
The room fell into silence for 5 seconds.
Just when Xiao Wu was feeling uneasy, Yu Hanjiang stared at him and said, "Did you learn trace identification in the police academy?"
Xiao Wu nodded seriously: "Learned it!"
Yu Hanjiang raised his eyebrows: "How did you pass the exam in this course?"
When Xiao Wu realized that Captain Yu was scolding him, his face immediately turned red, he lowered his head and said, "Did I say something wrong?"
Yu Hanjiang said coldly: "The footprints and the line of words carved on the branches, you didn't notice such obvious clues?"
The intern looked confused.
Yu Hanjiang explained patiently: "Pay attention to the depth of the footprints. The deceased weighed about 90 kilograms. For a girl weighing less than 100 kilograms, wearing flat shoes, the footprints left on the soft soil should not be that deep.
That is to say..."
He paused, and his eyes suddenly became sharp: "There were two people by the lake at that time. This was a well-planned murder."
