Xu Lang and the others followed Li Kui by car back to Wuma City Criminal Investigation Team 1.
Originally, according to Li Kui's intention, Xu Lang and Qin Mingyue came to Wuma City for the first time, and they came in such a hurry. They had to eat first and then work on the case. However, Xu Lang refused after receiving Luo Jiayan's call.
Li Kui insisted on seeing Qin Youqi's body first before talking about it. After Li Kui tried to persuade him several times, but with no results, he had no choice but to agree.
In fact, Li Kui only knew about Xu Lang when he learned that the deceased in the car accident was Qin Youqi and that it was related to a case in City S. He checked it through the police intranet and found out about Xu Lang.
He had seen reports related to Xu Lang before, and he had seen them, but he had scoffed and disapproved of them. He felt that Xu Lang was just a packaged embroidered pillow, a so-called police detective star, until he saw Xu Lang
Later, he realized that his previous views were somewhat biased.
If Xu Lang really agreed to the request he just made, Li Kui wouldn't think anything of it, but he would definitely not change his mind about Xu Lang. It's just that things are different now.
The group went directly to the forensic autopsy room of the Wuma City Criminal Investigation Team No. 1 and saw a naked Qin Youqi on the autopsy table.
The moment Xu Lang saw Qin Youqi's body, he was stunned on the spot, wondering if he had seen it wrong.
"Captain Li, are you sure this is Qin Youqi?" Xu Lang turned his head and asked with a frown.
Li Kui was stunned by Xu Lang's question. He looked at the body, then at Xu Lang, and asked: "Qin Youqi is the criminal you want, don't you know him?"
Hearing what Li Kui said, Xu Lang stopped talking and lowered his head to look at the body carefully.
After watching for a long time, Xu Lang had determined the identity of the deceased. He was Qin Youqi.
In fact, when Xu Lang saw Qin Youqi's face for the first time, he had already recognized his identity. However, looking at Qin Youqi's body in front of him, and recalling the Qin Youqi he saw more than ten days ago, among the two
They are completely different from each other.
More than ten days ago, Xu Lang first saw Qin Youqi at the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Chengdong District, City S. At that time, Qin Youqi was wearing work clothes. Although he was over fifty years old, he looked like he was in his forties.
A man of 20 years old speaks and walks with reason and is a complete businessman. At that time, Qin Youqi had gained weight due to his age and looked a little fat. However, the corpse in front of him was simply skin and bones.
Out of phase.
The disheveled hair, unshaven face, and smooth and round skin no longer exist. The face is extremely dry, and there are signs of peeling in some places. This is the trace left by long-term exposure to the scorching sun. The shriveled chest, sagging
The nails on his belly and big hands are already relatively long and uneven. It seems that they have not been repaired for a long time. Black dirt can also be seen in the gaps between his nails. I don’t know if it is dirt on the body or accumulation.
The dust fell down, and his bare feet were covered with blisters. Some of the blisters had burst, revealing the pink and tender muscle tissue like baby skin.
Embarrassed, sloppy.
This was the first thing Xu Lang felt after seeing Qin Youqi's body.
A question quickly emerged in Xu Lang's mind, what exactly did Qin Youqi go through after leaving S City, and why did he end up like this?
It's just that Qin Youqi can no longer answer this question, because he is already dead, and dead people cannot speak. To know the answer, Xu Lang and the others need to investigate on their own.
The forensic doctor of the Wuma City Criminal Investigation Team No. 1 is a middle-aged man in his forties. He looked at Xu Lang, then at Li Kui, and finally, his eyes rested on Qin Mingyue. To be precise, he stayed on Qin Mingyue.
The same forensic doctor was on Mingyue's slender fingers. He could tell at a glance that Qin Mingyue was also a forensic doctor.
"What are the autopsy results?" Xu Lang asked suddenly after being silent for a long time.
"The body was indeed hit by a car. However, according to the identification of the wounds on the body's surface, these wounds were caused after his death. According to the condition of the body, the deceased should have died before being hit.
And he died for at least two hours. It is initially speculated that he died of shock caused by dehydration. The specific cause of death requires further autopsy to know, but..."
When the forensic doctor said this, he stopped talking. His meaning was very clear. Before the family members of the deceased arrived and before the other party signed the judicial autopsy consent form, they could not conduct the autopsy without authorization.
Xu Lang nodded. He knew this very well, but where could he find Qin Youqi's family now?
One of Qin Youqi's two sons has died, and the eldest son Qin Liang may not be his biological son. The whereabouts of the younger son Qin Fen are currently unknown. As for his wife Qiao Lina, she was also killed in Yunnan City. Both his wife and son were
No, Qin Youqi has no relatives at all, except for his second sister who is in her sixties and almost seventy.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang turned to Qin Mingyue and said: "Carry out an autopsy on the body immediately. The relevant procedures will be reissued when we return to S City. I want to know the autopsy results as soon as possible."
Qin Mingyue nodded without any intention of refuting.
He walked straight to the workbench, put on a piece of forensic work clothes, put on gloves, and got into working mode. The forensic doctor from Wuma City looked at Li Kui and found that Li Kui didn't say anything, so he had to help.
.
Autopsy is a detailed and time-consuming physical work. Although Xu Lang really wanted to know the specific cause of Qin Youqi's death now, he knew that
He said, this will take time, and there is no point in continuing to stay in the forensic autopsy room. It is better to start with what Li Kui and the others found from the scene, maybe they can find some clues.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang said to Li Kui: "Where are the things that were found with the body? I want to see it."
"Oh, those things are in the evidence department, come with me." Li Kui said.
Xu Lang nodded and left the forensic autopsy room with Li Kui.
————
Xu Lang followed Li Kui to the evidence department and saw what Li Kui and the others found from the scene.
A large plastic bottle had been crushed. There was still some liquid in the bottle. I didn't know if it was water or something else. Xu Lang picked it up, put it under his nose, smelled it, and frowned.
The liquid in the bottle has no special smell and is no different from ordinary water.
Seeing Xu Lang's work, Li Kui said with a smile: "Don't look at it, it's just ordinary tap water. We have already identified it."
Hearing what Li Kui said, Xu Lang put down the plastic bottle in his hand, turned his head and looked at other things.
A travel bag with a broken strap. This is not an ordinary travel bag, but a domestic famous brand bag. However, for most people who only know LV, Hermès and other foreign famous brands, this kind of domestic famous brand is really
I don’t know, if Xu Lang hadn’t been idle and enjoying looking at these things in the past six years, he might not have recognized them.
The strap of the travel bag was broken, the zipper was broken, and the zipper on it was missing. I don’t know if it was dropped after being hit, or if it was lost somewhere else.
There are not many things in the travel bag, a set of relatively clean clothes, and then a wallet. Inside the wallet are Qin Youqi's ID card, bank card, credit card, membership card and business card. There is a wad of money in the wallet, including zero and zero.
Apart from that, I didn't find anything else in the bag. The only thing was some snacks, and they were the kind of snacks that didn't satisfy my hunger very much.
After reading these things, Xu Lang frowned, turned his head, looked at Li Kui and asked, "Are these the only things?"
Li Kui nodded and said, "When we arrived at the scene, we only found these things."
"Where's the money?" Xu Lang asked.
"The money is all here, okay."
Li Kui pointed at the wad of money placed in the evidence bag and said.
Xu Lang glanced at it, shook his head, and said, "I'm not talking about the money."
"Then what are you talking about?" Li Kui asked.
"According to our previous investigation, when Qin Youqi left City S, he carried at least hundreds of thousands in cash, and his wife Qiao Lina had been killed in Yunnan City. No cash was found at the scene. Now, Qin Youqi has also been killed, and there is no
Seeing this money, where did the money go?" Xu Lang frowned and said.
"Officer Xu, are you suspecting that we embezzled this money?" Li Kui looked at Xu Lang with some displeasure and said.
Xu Lang shook his head and said: "Captain Li, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that. I just found it strange that when Qin Youqi left City S, he clearly took so much cash with him, but now it's gone. I'm sure
Someone took it away, or it was spent somewhere."
Hearing Xu Lang's explanation, Li Kui's frown suddenly relaxed. He smiled and said, "Maybe it was robbed, or it was lost somewhere."
Xu Lang thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "It doesn't look like he was robbed."
"Why?" Li Kui asked curiously.
"If I were a robber, the robbery would definitely be for the purpose of making money, and I would definitely take away all the valuables from the victim, such as wallets, mobile phones..."
Speaking of this, Xu Lang suddenly stopped talking and started rummaging through the pile of evidence in front of him, as if he was looking for something.
"What are you looking for?" Li Kui was stunned by Xu Lang and asked quickly.
"Mobile phone, Qin Youqi's mobile phone." Xu Lang said while rummaging around.
"Stop looking for it, there's no cell phone."
There were only so many things, and if there were any, they could be seen at a glance. However, there was no mobile phone among the exhibits, which made Xu Lang even more confused.
Now is an era of technology and information. When a person goes out, the three most important things are indispensable: ID card, mobile phone, and wallet. However, now Qin Youqi’s ID card and wallet are both there, but his mobile phone is missing.
, this is obviously not normal.
Seeing Xu Lang's silence, Li Kui asked, "You just said it didn't sound like robbery. Why?"
Xu Lang also calmed down and continued the previous topic: "When robbers commit robberies, they are often after money. They will take away everything from the victim that can be exchanged for money, such as mobile phones, wallets, cash, valuables
Items, etc., but you also saw that Qin Youqi's wallet and other things were there, and he also had cash on him. It was impossible for the robbers not to see it, and if they saw it, why didn't they take it away? This doesn't make sense.
So, I don’t think it was robbery.”
"That's not robbery, it should be that Qin Youqi lost the money somewhere else," Li Kui said.
Xu Lang turned his head and looked into Li Kui's eyes and asked, "Do you really think so?"
Li Kui was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile and said: "Should
Could it be, if I were carrying so much cash, I would definitely take care of it carefully and never let it get lost."
Xu Lang nodded and became silent again.
Now, there are a few things that Xu Lang needs to figure out.
First, why did Qin Youqi appear on the road in Wuma City.
Second, how did Qin Youqi die? Was he an accidental death or was he murdered?
Third, where is the huge sum of money that Qin Youqi took away? Was it really lost, used somewhere else, or was it given to someone, such as his son Qin Fen.
Fourth, where is Qin Youqi’s mobile phone? Is there any important information or evidence on the mobile phone?
If these issues are not clarified, everything will remain the same, even more complicated than before.
————
"How about going out for something to eat? It's already afternoon now." Seeing Xu Lang's uncertain expression, Li Kui said worriedly.
Xu Lang turned a deaf ear to Li Kui's words. He always felt that Qin Youqi's death was not that simple, because when he saw Qin Youqi's body, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. At first, he was not aware of this familiarity.
What is the feeling? Now that he calmed down, Xu Lang thought of Qin Liang.
At that time, when Xu Lang saw Qin Liang's body, it was like this. He was all skin and bones and could not be seen as a human being at all. But now, just ten days after Qin Liang's death, Qin Youqi has become like this.
, Xu Lang felt that this was very much like someone was killing in revenge, using the way Qin Liang died to punish Qin Youqi. So, the question is, who is this person?
The first thing Xu Lang thought of was Qin Fen.
After all, judging from the information currently available to the police, the only person who is deeply involved with Qin Youqi and the others is Qin Fen who is still alive.
If this person is really Qin Fen, then what is his motive? To avenge Qin Liang? Or is it purely to resist Qin Youqi?
No matter which possibility it was, Xu Lang found it unreasonable. After all, Qin Youqi and Qin Fen were father and son. No parent would have the heart to hurt their child, and no child would be so rebellious as to kill him in such a cruel way.
Parents, of course, there are exceptions to everything and there are possibilities.
"Dong dong dong..."
While Xu Lang was still thinking about the doubtful points in Qin Youqi's case, a knock on the door interrupted Xu Lang's thoughts.
Xu Lang turned his head and saw a police officer walking in. He glanced at Xu Lang first, then looked at Li Kui and said, "Wang Peng is making a fuss again and is very excited. Moreover, his friend
We have arrived and asked to meet with Wang Peng, Captain Li, what should I do?"
Hearing what the police officer said, Li Kui did not give an answer immediately. Instead, he turned to look at Xu Lang and asked: "Officer Xu, what do you think?"
Xu Lang thought for a while and said, "In this case, let's go meet Wang Peng."
"Okay, I think so too."
After Li Kui finished speaking, he took Xu Lang to the interrogation room.
For the police, the interrogation room is far more familiar than other places.
A small room, an interrogation table, several interrogation chairs, and a lamp placed on the table. There are surveillance cameras in the four corners of the room, recording everything in the interrogation room at 360 degrees without blind spots. In addition,
, there are no other unnecessary things in the room.
Li Kui brought Xu Lang to the interrogation room. After sitting down behind the interrogation table, Li Kui took out a pack of cigarettes, pulled one out and handed it to Xu Lang.
Xu Lang glanced at the cigarette and saw that it was Ruanhua. He hesitated and asked, "Can I smoke here?"
According to relevant regulations, smoking is not allowed in the interrogation room. However, when Xu Lang was in the Criminal Investigation Team, including now at CSY, he often smoked in the interrogation room, and no one said anything. However, this is not S City after all.
, it is not your own territory, you need to have a sense of proportion in what you say and do.
Hearing Xu Lang's question, Li Kui laughed, lit a cigarette himself, started smoking first, and said: "We are all veteran drivers, you come with me to do this? Haha..."
"hehe......"
Xu Lang is not a shy person. After hearing what Li Kui said, Xu Lang also lit a cigarette. He is very messy now and needs nicotine to cheer him up.
To be honest, Xu Lang had basically given up smoking before returning to S City. This was mainly due to Xiao Yueyue. After returning to CSY, in order to solve the case, Xu Lang's addiction to smoking started again. Although, he promised Xiao Yueyue
Yueyue quit smoking, but once he encountered a difficult situation, he couldn't help but light up a cigarette, like now.
As the cigarette burned, the originally odorless interrogation room was suddenly filled with smoke and filled with the smell of smoke.
"Click."
The door of the interrogation room was pushed open from the outside, and Wang Peng, whose hands were handcuffed, was brought in. After he was asked to sit down on the interrogation chair, the police officer stood behind Wang Peng.
Wang Peng seemed very excited and excited. After seeing Li Kui, he wanted to say something, but he noticed that there was a person sitting next to Li Kui. He didn't know this person, so he was very excited.
The wise man said nothing and looked at Xu Lang secretly.
Wang Peng was sizing up Xu Lang, and Xu Lang was also observing Wang Peng's every move. However, no one spoke. The room was quiet except for the sound of burning cigarettes.
