Ji Chengling and Chen Jie dispersed the onlookers and moved a few benches to circle the murder scene. Zhong Xueru put on gloves and walked around the outside of the car first, then opened the driver's seat to check on the deceased.
Li Zan was watching the terrain at the corner store. Jiang Heng, who had the habit of running in the morning, bought two cups of soy milk and gave one cup to Li Zan.
Jiang Heng: "The first person to discover the deceased was garbage collector Chen Abo. He went to the beach to collect garbage at four o'clock in the morning. He came back at about 5:30. When he passed the car where the crime occurred, he went to pick up the empty mineral water bottle under the car. Before he found
The car door was not closed tightly, and the driver in the driver's seat could be seen along the seam of the car. According to Chen Abo's description, the driver was lying on his back in the driver's seat with a hideous face, his face was blue and gray, his eyeballs were bulging, and he was no longer breathing."
Uncle Chen was so frightened that he ran away and bumped into Jiang Heng who was running in the morning on the street corner. He pointed at the car and described "dead people" tremblingly. Jiang Heng stepped forward to check, then called the police and informed Li Zan who was still sleeping in the hotel.
Next to a row of bicycles in an old building, a thin, stooped old man vividly described his horror when he saw the corpse. Two policemen from the seaside area listened quietly to his words and asked questions from time to time.
Li Zan: "Where is the empty mineral water bottle?"
Jiang Heng: "I borrowed a bag to put it in. The empty mineral water bottle has Uncle Chen's fingerprints. There is no guarantee that it was thrown by the deceased or the murderer."
The location where the two of them were standing was at the entrance of Shiduo Store, which was at the corner of Laolou Street. There were a row of old residential buildings on both sides of the street corner. Taking the street corner as a point, the field of view gradually became wider. In the middle of the two rows of residential buildings was a triangular piece of land.
A square-shaped open space with yellow grids drawn on it turned into a parking lot. Behind the parking lot was a road for pedestrians and cars to pass. In front of it was a row of saplings that were just planted this year.
There is a decades-old banyan tree in front of the sapling, and a flower bed is built around the banyan tree. The banyan tree has lush branches and is often visited by nearby residents. In the evening and evening, they most like to go under the banyan tree to enjoy the shade, drink tea and play chess.
But now, the banyan tree has become the scene of a murder.
The car where the murder occurred was not parked in the yellow grid drawn, but parked in the open space in front of the banyan tree.
"The car may not be owned by the nearby residents." Li Zan flattened the plastic cup of soy milk he drank and threw it into the roadside trash can. "There are residential buildings on both sides, the triangle area, and the banyan tree. They are also places with frequent flow of people. Unless the art
An expert is bold and not afraid of being discovered for murder, otherwise..."
"Passion kills."
After making a conclusion, Li Zan rubbed his chin: "The deceased must have tried to shout for help or make noise during the murder. Even in the middle of the night, there should still be people awake." He looked up at the two residential buildings with balconies facing out and said, "Maybe someone witnessed it.
The whole process of the crime.”
Jiang Heng: "The deceased should have died of suffocation. He had a childish face and was between 17 and 8 years old. The male was still a student. He wore a summer school uniform under his coat." Before the police came, he briefly surveyed the scene and the deceased.
, then told Li Zan: "There are a lot of change scattered in the glove box of the car, as well as Alipay and WeChat payment QR codes. It may be a private car carrying passengers. There is no driving recorder or timer installed in the car, and it does not have an operating license.
, it’s a white-plate car.”
White-plate cars are Hong Kong’s term for black cars, that is, vehicles that do not have operating licenses and relevant procedures and are operated illegally for a fee.
Li Zan followed this inference and continued: "If the deceased was a black truck driver, the murderer was probably a customer. There is no timer, and the toll depends entirely on the driver's words. Maybe the price negotiation process did not go smoothly, and there was an argument in the middle, and the anger took over and the murder took place."
This is just one of the possibilities of speculation, not the final result.
Li Zan: "I'll go over and have a look. You..." He hesitated: "You don't have to wait for me. I have to end my vacation early and I may not be able to go back before noon."
Jiang Heng expressed his understanding: "I will go back to the hotel to unsubscribe."
Li Zan nodded, "Okay." After saying that, he stepped towards the murder scene.
Jiang Heng stood there for a while before leaving.
Li Xiancheng acted as her boyfriend's assistant, helping with the autopsy and collecting traces in the car. When Li Zan came over, he held up the evidence bag and said: "The hair collected in the back seat and the passenger's seat were both long and short. In the back seat
I found lipstick and hairpins under the car mat, but nothing else. However, there are many fingerprints and handprints, which are easy to collect, but subsequent analysis will be troublesome."
It is normal for black passenger cars to have a lot of hair, fingerprints and handprints, and female customers may also leave behind lipstick and hairpins.
Li Zan: "That's right, I've done a good job."
Li Xiancheng brushed the hair off her face, coughed and asked reservedly: "Only posture?"
Li Zan: "It's good to praise you for your attitude. You have to be humble. Remember that you are just a trainee dog now."
Li Xiancheng works as an intern forensic scientist at a forensic identification center in another district.
Li Xiancheng gritted his teeth, and Zhong Xueru came over to comfort him: "Chengcheng, you are the best in my heart."
Li Zan: "I'm not dead yet."
Zhong Xueru retreated to Jiang Heng's side, pretending to be a professional butcher and said: "It is initially determined that the death was caused by mechanical suffocation, and the murder weapon was a strangulation rope. There is some fiber fabric left in the scar on the neck of the deceased. Only after identification can the specific murder weapon be determined. The deceased died.
The time was between 2 and 3 in the morning. There was nothing to prove his identity, no mobile phone or ID card. There was no timer or driving recorder installed in the car. It was impossible to determine where its starting and ending points were. There were traces of a struggle in the car.
It’s not obvious, there is some cloth left on the deceased’s fingernails——”
"Cloth?" Li Zan interrupted him, "Without blood or skin tissue?"
"No." Zhong Xueru: "This is really strange. The body language of the deceased shows that the murderer strangled him with a rope from behind. The deceased would hold the murderer's arm during the struggle, and there should be blood and skin tissue left on his fingernails.
Rather than fabric. Unless the murderer was wearing long-sleeved clothes with a certain thickness."
Li Xiancheng was stunned: "Wearing thick clothes in the summer, is the murderer sick?"
Li Zan: "Maybe."
He walked around the car and stopped in place, listening to the whispers of the onlookers. When he came to a complete stop, he caught the fun and laughter coming from the beach from the whispers in all directions.
After walking out of this triangular area, you can reach the bus stop on the side of the road, and the next stop is the beachfront hotel. The straight line distance from here to the beach is very close, but there is only a long detour between the cliff and the sea.
The bus takes four to five minutes. But the last stop is much further away from the old residential area and the seaside hotel. It takes twenty minutes to take the bus.
At two or three in the morning, it is difficult to find other means of transportation besides shared bicycles. You have to run for more than ten minutes to the next stop and check into a seaside hotel, or you will choose shared bicycles as a means of escape.
Li Zan shook his index finger from time to time, making a 'tsk' sound, and ordered slowly but clearly: "Ask one by one, if you hear a movement in the middle of the night, see a strange person passing by, or maybe you have seen the murderer."
If you don’t know, go and ask everyone. Also check the surveillance. Is there no surveillance in this area?”
Lao Zeng, who happened to come over, heard this and said: "Because these are old residential areas with familiar streets and familiar roads, and there are no accidents, we didn't install surveillance cameras. There was a surveillance camera next to the bus stop on the street. It was damaged by a thunderstorm a few days ago.
It’s not fixed.”
"The timing is too coincidental."
"It's like God is creating momentum for the murderer."
Zhong Xueru and Li Xiancheng echoed.
"It's quite a coincidence." Li Zan continued: "Then I checked the occupancy list of the seaside hotel for the past two days, and the surveillance at three or four o'clock in the morning last night. Finally, I contacted the shared bicycle company to retrieve the shared bicycles used in the seaside area last night.
record of."
Lao Zeng nodded: "I will tell you to go ahead now. By the way, the deceased was a student from No. 1 High School in the city. I have already called to inquire, and the results will be available soon."
Apparently Lao Zeng recognized which high school in the city the deceased's uniform came from.
The police officers divided their work and cooperated, and soon started their respective operations. The deceased was transported back to the forensic office, and the car and various physical evidence were sent to the trace inspection office. The criminal police officers who were on weekends canceled their hotel orders, ended their vacation early, and rushed to investigate the case.
journey.

Jiang Heng, who was waiting for the cancellation procedure at the hotel, looked at the time, it was nine o'clock in the morning.
"Sir, the cancellation procedure is completed, 30% of the handling fee will be deducted, and the remaining fee will be automatically credited to your account." The hotel service staff said while handing the bill and ID card back to Jiang Heng.
Jiang Heng took it, said thank you, put the things away, and walked out with his luggage bag.
At this time, a group of people suddenly filed out of the hotel elevator. At the front was the groom holding the bride. Surrounded by a group of people and cheering, he stepped out of the hotel and headed to the beach for a beach wedding.
The groom's relatives and friends distributed wedding candies everywhere, and a girl gave Jiang Heng a lot of wedding candies and wedding cakes, blushing and asking for blessings.
Jiang Heng smiled and said, "I wish you a long life together and may we always be united."
The girl ran away laughing, playing with her companions to catch up with the large army. After the excitement, there was a quiet silence. The cleaner who cleaned the candy wrappers mentioned that there would be another wedding banquet on the third floor in the afternoon, and ran away while talking about the topic.
When it comes to the marriage, the bride and groom's family will be rich in betrothal gifts and dowries.
"Both the bridegroom and the bride are locals from Yuejiang City. They are both only children, and their family also owns several peasant buildings. As long as housing prices do not fall, they will definitely have enough food and clothing in their lives."
"There are dozens of luxury cars parked in the parking lot, and they are all people from the groom and the bride. I heard that at the banquet, you can eat sea cucumbers, abalones, and lobsters as much as you want, and you don't want to follow suit."
"I went to the bridal room to clean in the morning. There were only two or three wedding dresses and bridal casual clothes. They were full of gold and diamonds... There were also a bunch of people surrounding the bride to dress her up. What are they called makeup artists and makeup artist assistants? Rich people.
Even getting married is so extravagant."
"How about you tell the foreman and come with me to the third floor in the afternoon. You can pack up some leftover lobsters and abalones later. Wedding banquets like theirs will leave a lot of untouched food at the end."
"I'll talk to the foreman later."
…
They walked away, and then the elevator opened again, and a dozen people, both men and women, walked out, wearing fashionable clothes and exquisite makeup. Even the men wore more exquisite makeup than the women.
They strode forward with their makeup cases on their backs, and it looked like their destination was a beach wedding.
Jiang Heng guessed that they were the makeup artist team of the bride and groom. He withdrew his gaze, walked towards the parking lot, and drove back to Dongcheng District. He took a turn on the road and instead of going back to the apartment, he went to the nightclub in Jinyuan Plaza.
It was closing time for the nightclub, and the boss was still working hard behind the bar to practice his bartending skills.
Hearing the noise, the nightclub owner looked up and tears immediately filled his eyes: "Pengpi is brilliant, Dad! You are finally here, Dad!" He took out the plan book that was placed on the table leg and presented it with both hands: "Are you interested in investing?
?You don’t have to worry about it, just give me a little money.”
Putting the plan aside, Jiang Heng tapped the table and asked, "Has what I want arrived?"
The nightclub owner sighed, rummaged through the drawer, found a small USB flash drive and threw it to Jiang Heng: "They are all Jin Xinyue's ruthless characters. After eliminating the three remaining people, they are most likely to be behind Jiang Heng's death.
The real murderer. And the weakness of Lin Chaoqi that you asked me to find before has been found."
Jiang Heng raised his eyelids, "?"
Nightclub owner: "..." The uncle who provided the money is his father, and no matter how hard he pretends, he can only provide, "Lin Chaoqi's weakness is a young man, a young man who suffers from hypopituitarism and stops growing without aging. Unexpectedly
Unexpectedly. A poisonous spider that feeds on its own species is actually obsessed with plastic flowers that never fade. It makes people wonder whether she is obsessed with the body of a teenager or is envious of the other person's ageless appearance."
Lin Chaoqi's weakness is personal, which is indeed surprising.
Nightclub owner: "Relevant information has been sent to a commonly used email address. There is only so much I can find. If I go deeper, it will easily be exposed."
Jiang Heng: "Check some more things."
The nightclub owner declined: "I dragged people to Jin Xinyue to check these things, and almost killed people. I paid twice as much to keep myself from being sold. Grandpa, I'm really retired."
Jiang Heng: "I won't check the Golden Crescent this time. You can check it for me and I will implement your plan."
Nightclub owner: "...where?"
Jiang Heng: "Golden Triangle."
Nightclub owner: "..." What the hell is the difference?!
***
In the Dongcheng Branch Criminal Investigation Office, criminal police officers gathered in a circle to listen to the autopsy report given by the forensic doctor. The autopsy results were almost the same as Zhong Xueru's conclusion. The focus was on the analysis results of the fiber cloth remaining on the skin of the deceased.
"The remaining fabric on the deceased's neck is imitation cashmere fabric. It is speculated that the rope used to strangle the deceased is a imitation cashmere scarf. The remaining fabric in the nails of the deceased is also imitation cashmere fabric, so we speculate that the murderer is a person who wears imitation cashmere fabric on summer nights.
Long-sleeved top and scarf.”
"The murderer is afraid of the cold?"
"Maybe it was planned in advance."
"It was premeditated to bring nylon rope, or a knife, and the use of a scarf just shows that the murderer acted on the spur of the moment. The money in the car is still there, which means it is not for money, and the deceased is a male, so it cannot be for sex. It may be that there was a fierce argument during the bargaining process.
He killed someone on impulse, and there are many similar cases."
"The deceased's mobile phone and ID card were missing. Perhaps the murderer was in panic and had the idea of erasing the identity of the deceased."
"What was the name of the deceased?"
"Ge Xiangdi, 17 years old, an only son, just finished the college entrance examination a month ago. His parents are still at home, his mother works in an electrical appliance manufacturer, and his father has diabetes and usually drives a black car to maintain daily expenses. Ge's father has been ill these days, and Ge Xiangdi
I wanted to help reduce the burden on my family, so I took over my father’s place in driving a black car.”
