Chapter 98

Shi Pengfei lifted the cordon, crouched down and walked into the crime scene. As he approached the door of the house, he smelled a strong smell of blood.

There were already police officers inside investigating the scene, and there were signs with numbers on the ground.

"Stone Team."

The police officer who was taking pictures saw Shi Pengfei and greeted him.

Shi Pengfei nodded at him, put on shoe covers, and scanned the room, his eyes finally falling on the dead man lying on the ground.

The victim was lying in a pool of blood, with marks of being smashed on her head and multiple stab wounds on her body. There were splatter-like bloodstains on the furniture and walls closest to her.

The ground was in chaos, with bloody footprints everywhere. When Shi Pengfei walked in just now, he walked in on tiptoe.

"Uncle Dong, how is it?"

Uncle Dong stood up from the ground, feeling a little shaky. Shi Pengfei quickly stepped forward to support him.

Uncle Dong sighed, "I'm so old. I can hardly stand up after squatting for a while."

"Uncle Dong, you are in your prime now. What's the point of talking about old or not? Our team can't do without you."

Uncle Dong is an old forensic doctor who has worked diligently in his position for more than 40 years. He reached retirement age five years ago.

But now there is a shortage of staff, so although he was given the retirement procedures, he was re-hired.

Uncle Dong waved his hands and didn't continue the topic with him.

"The deceased died of excessive blood loss. She was stabbed 32 times with sharp weapons. The wounds were all concentrated in the chest and abdomen. Both hands had non-defensive wounds. There were traces of someone covering her mouth and nose on her face, which made it impossible for her to call for help.

The deceased was hit on the head with a stick-like object, but no murder weapon was found at the scene."

"The body patches have begun to fuse, the muscles are stiff, and the cornea is slightly cloudy. It can be inferred that the deceased died about seven hours ago, which is around 3 a.m.."

"Based on the bloodstains on the walls and furniture, as well as the body spots on the back of the deceased, it can be judged that this is the first crime scene and the deceased has not been moved since his death."

Xiao Liu, who was searching for evidence nearby, said, "Captain Shi, there are no signs that the door lock has been pried open, and the iron bars of the windows are intact. None of the valuables in the house have been stolen, and there are no signs that anything has been turned over."

Shi Pengfei stared at the horrific knife wounds on the chest of the deceased. Although the heart wound was fatal, the other wounds were not shallow either. Each stab was very fierce, and it was obvious that it was intended to take the deceased's life.

Under normal circumstances, if it weren't for a deep hatred, he wouldn't have been so cruel, stabbing more than thirty times.

Shi Pengfei: "Uncle Dong, did the deceased show any signs of being violated before his death?"

"She did have sex before her death, and a used condom was found in the trash can. Based on preliminary examinations, the possibility of coercion is relatively low. There were no signs of struggle on her body, and her vagina was not injured. However, the possibility of rape cannot be ruled out, and further examination is needed to confirm this."

Wang Hang, who was following Shi Pengfei, had a strange expression on his face. "Captain Shi, the deceased's husband was a long-distance truck driver. According to the neighbors, he is still on the road and has not returned home yet."

Shi Pengfei did not comment on the matter, saying: "The murderer is most likely an acquaintance of the deceased. Our next focus is to investigate her social relationships, to see who she interacts closely with and who she has grudges against."

A murder occurred in the machinery factory, and students in the school were talking about it.

That afternoon, as soon as the class was over, someone ran up to Tang Qingqing and asked her about the case.

Many people now know that Tang Qingqing has been assisting the police in solving the case. Although many people do not know what she does specifically, it is certain that she has a special relationship with the Public Security Bureau. Many people have seen police officers go to her for help and even give her a banner.

There was a physical education class in the afternoon. The teacher only asked everyone to run a lap and then they could move freely.

Therefore, many people took this opportunity to ask her for her opinion.

Tang Qingqing: "I didn't go to the scene, so I don't know what happened."

The group of people did not retreat because of this sentence and continued to talk about this topic.

"Then take a guess. You've handled so many cases, so you must have an idea. Who do you think did it?"

Tang Qingqing still didn't give an answer, she herself didn't know the situation.

Although the classmates were a little disappointed, they didn't care too much and gathered around Tang Qingqing to discuss the case.

Tang Qingqing, who originally knew nothing, actually learned a lot of information from her classmates.

The first person to discover the deceased was Sun Qing's youngest son Xu Weidong.

You can imagine how traumatic it was to see your own mother lying in a pool of blood.

Sun Qing died in the living room. Xu Weidong saw it as soon as he opened the door. He was so scared that he screamed.

"I heard he died in a horrible way, with his intestines all over the floor." someone sighed.

Another person retorted: "Who told you this nonsense? It's not true. My mom heard the noise and ran over to see what was happening, but it wasn't much better than what you said. My mom said there was blood everywhere, it was really scary! She was stabbed so many times!"

"Ah! This is too scary!"

Tang Qingqing asked: "Did anyone rush into the scene at that time?"

"My mother said there were a lot of people there to see what happened. It was said that someone touched it and it turned cold. My mother wanted to call a doctor."

Tang Qingqing looked unhappy, and Shi Zhan slapped his thigh directly.

"What are these people doing? There's nothing good about dead bodies. They've destroyed the scene! How can the police investigate this?"

Shi Zhan knew a little bit about it. Whenever his aunt came to talk to his mother, she would bring up the complaints his uncle and his colleagues had when they were discussing work at home. They often mentioned that due to lack of relevant knowledge and high excitement, it was easy for them to destroy the scene, thus bringing great obstacles to criminal investigation work.

Therefore, he knew it was bad news when he heard this. It was another group of enthusiastic people who did bad things.

"Ah? Is that so?" The man was stunned.

No one thought too much about it at the time. Neighbors heard the noise and ran over.

As soon as they saw that someone was dead, they forgot everything else and ran over eagerly to see if the person was still breathing and whether he could be saved.

So before the police arrived, the scene was in chaos.

Tang Qingqing: "Does the old factory manager know about this?"

"I see. It was such a big deal that the news had spread a long time ago. Fortunately, I had the medicine with me at the time, otherwise... ah."

When Tang Qingqing came home from school in the afternoon, she saw Tang Jianguo sitting in the living room, talking about this matter with Su Rong.

"The old factory manager was not in good health to begin with, and now he is traumatized by the trauma of seeing his son die. He has gone to the hospital and is now lying in bed." Tang Jianguo shook his head and sighed.

Su Rong: "I will go buy some fish early tomorrow morning and make fish soup for the old man and send it to him."

When Tang Jianguo saw Tang Qingqing coming in, he put aside his airs as a patriarch and said:

"Qingqing, can you help the Public Security Bureau investigate this case? Catch the murderer as soon as possible."

As long as the murder case remains unsolved, the factory will never be at peace.

Tang Jianguo had seen Tang Qingqing's performance during this period, and he received many calls praising him for having a good daughter who had such great abilities at such a young age.

Tang Jianguo said modestly, but he was very happy in his heart.

His mentality of previously thinking that girls only needed to be taken care of and didn't need to work as hard as men had changed, and he no longer stopped Tang Qingqing and let her do whatever she wanted.

Su Rong would sometimes mention that she felt Tang Qingqing was working too hard and that it was unnecessary to do so, and he would even make a few rebuttals.

"Yeah, I was planning to go check it out."

Tang Qingqing agreed without hesitation. She had already had this idea in mind, and everyone around her was talking about this matter, which made her want to get involved in this case even more.

No matter what her attitude towards Tang Jianguo is, she will not bring her emotions to other things.

After saying that, Tang Qingqing stood up and wanted to leave.

Su Rong quickly stopped her and said, "No matter how busy you are, you have to eat first. I have already prepared the meal. I will take you there after you finish eating."

Tang Jianguo: "I'll take you there. I'm worried about you two walking around alone until the murderer is caught."

Tang Qingqing pursed her lips and said nothing.

But in the end, Tang Jianguo still didn't have the time. He had just finished his meal when an urgent matter came up that he needed to deal with.

Since the last theft, more scandals have been uncovered, including the discovery that some people in the factory had embezzled state property and engaged in corruption. There have been more problems than usual.

Tang Jianguo not only has to take charge of production, but also has to deal with matters related to this.

If the problem of woodworms is not solved, then no matter how well the production is managed, it will fail.

Tang Jianguo was annoyed, "Next time, next time I will definitely send you off in person when I have time."

Tang Qingqing didn't care. To her, it didn't make much difference whether he sent her off or not, and he was indeed very busy.

There are a lot of things to do in Wanren Factory, and everyone depends on him for their livelihood. Tang Qingqing can understand that.

Tang Jixue pouted after hearing this and said, "Don't listen to what dad says. I don't know how many times I've heard such words since I was a child, but he has never fulfilled his promise. He always says he will keep his word, but in reality, he is the one who breaks his promise the most."

Su Rong heard this and defended her husband, "Your father is also doing this for work."

Tang Jixue rolled his eyes, "Who doesn't need to work? He's the busiest. If you can't do it, don't promise it. You just like to brag."

"He also had something urgent to do and didn't know about it beforehand."

"You didn't have time to accompany us, but you should at least ask about our situation when you have time, right? Qingqing, you know, I was about to graduate from junior high school, and Dad thought I was in elementary school, or he just remembered my eldest brother's affairs as my second brother's."

Su Rong said impatiently, "Alright, alright, the more you talk, the more reasonable you become. If it weren't for your father's hard work, you wouldn't be where you are today. He has such a heavy responsibility on his shoulders that he can't be as willful as you."

"Anyway, I either don't want kids in the future, or I have to be a good father and not let my kids forget what I look like."

Su Rong snorted coldly, "That's easier said than done. I'll see if you can do it when the time comes."

When Tang Jixue came back, Su Rong gave him the task of escorting him.

On the way, Tang Qingqing said, "Third brother, you used to go up to the roof and make trouble all the time. Was it to attract Dad's attention and make him pay more attention to you?"

Tang Jixue was so frightened that he tilted the sheep's head and almost dragged the two people into the ditch.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Tang Qingqing smiled and said, "Don't get excited, I was just saying it casually."

"It's horrible to say that casually. What are you thinking about?"

"I have a friend who has done this before."

"Who is that? You are so confused. I would never do such a childish thing. I just had a lot of free time before, so I liked to play. I didn't do it to seek attention! Don't put your so-called friend on me."

Tang Jixue was unwilling to give up after he finished speaking, and continued: "You should also talk to your friend. This kind of thinking is not good! We have to live for ourselves. It would be better to put that energy into our career. Who cares if others pay attention to us or not? Money is the most important thing!"

Tang Jixue's business has been booming recently. Although he is just a small street vendor that many people look down upon, it brings him a huge sense of accomplishment.

I watch my wallet bulge, and see that not only is my life getting better and better, but I am also leading others along, and I feel like I am walking with the wind.

Every time he goes out, he gains a lot of knowledge.

There are so many opportunities now, and you can discover them as long as you are willing to observe carefully with your eyes and heart.

Tang Qingqing smiled and didn't respond. That person is no longer like that now. He has already sailed away with the wind.
