Fu Da said to Chen Qian, "The funeral home car is here."

Xie Qing stepped on the edge of the kang with one foot, intending to go up to the kang to carry the body.

Fu Da grabbed her and said, "There's no need for you with so many old men here. We can do it."

He was very strong, and Xie Qing couldn't resist. She quickly withdrew from the west bedroom and entered the east bedroom.

This place was shabbier than the west bedroom, but the modular furniture was also new, and there was no sign of theft.

There was a framed mirror on the low cabinet where cosmetics were placed, and a family photo was inserted on the edge of the mirror frame.

The nine people in the family photo were smiling brightly. In addition to the four victims, there was also a middle-aged couple and three children.

The older girl, about 20 years old, stood with the middle-aged couple who had been murdered; the older boy, about 14 or 15 years old, stood with another couple, the old couple sat in the middle, and the youngest boy, about 10 years old, sat on the old lady's lap.

There was also a large photo album in front of the mirror.

Xie Qing took down the family portrait, put it in an evidence bag, and opened the album again.

The first page of the album was mainly photos of the three children, one photo of the old couple and one photo of the two middle-aged couples - all taken in a photo studio, very ceremonial.

The old couple smiled very kindly, and it was obvious that they were old people with good personalities.

The two middle-aged men looked 50% similar, and it was obvious that they were brothers.

The two sisters-in-law were different. The victim was slightly fat, had a pair of smiling eyes, and looked festive; the other had a bitter face, dressed in bright clothes, and wore a silver bracelet on her wrist.

A happy family broke up in an instant, and the girl suddenly became an orphan.

Xie Qing felt sad, so she put the photo album in another evidence bag and rummaged through the closet.

The two old people were very simple, with only two or three seasonal clothes hanging up.

There were quite a few quilts prepared, and they were all new, colorful, and made of soft fabrics.

The other closets were filled with accumulated shabby things, and they were reluctant to throw them away, so they were all left.

There were two sets of quilts on the kang, which looked like they were pushed aside by the old people when they got up, but their owners would never come back.

The trace examiner was brushing a small leather bag with a brush. The bag was ugly, and it didn't look like there was any money inside.

Xie Qing handed the two items to the trace examiner for safekeeping, left the east bedroom, and prepared to go to the gatehouse to check. There was a kitchen there, so she could verify what the victim had eaten.

Before leaving, Xie Qing glanced at the shoe rack, on which were two pairs of leather shoes and two pairs of cloth shoes.

She had carefully observed that the four victims all wore slippers indoors, and there were few other stains on the dull white tiles except for the dark brown bloodstains splashed by the knife.

She thought to herself that this family must have a serious cleanliness fetish, otherwise people of this era would not be so particular, and people in such bungalows usually wear shoes

when entering and exiting. But...did the murderer change his shoes when he came in?

Or did the murderer come in barefoot?

Xie Qing went to the lower room thinking.

The cupboard and refrigerator in the servant's room were also new, and there was a new foldable round table.

There were unfinished scrambled eggs with green peppers and small cucumbers soaked in soy sauce in the refrigerator.

There were some fish bones and plucked rape leaves in the trash can.

The washed dishes were placed upside down on the table, covered with a gauze cover...

"Hmm!" Someone cleared his throat.

Xie Qing turned around and saw the old cadre standing at the door with his hand against the door frame. He asked, "Have you loaded it on the car?"

Tan Yi nodded, "We can go now."

"Thank you." Xie Qing glanced at the sink. The black and red blood stains on it proved that the murderer washed the knife and hands here, opened the door and left, disappearing into the vast night.

He should be a thoughtful, courageous and careful person, not too young, middle-aged, who may have killed pigs and sheep. If this case is a property infringement, he must be very ambitious for money.

Xie Qing drew a rough picture of the murderer in her mind and passed by Tan Yi with an expressionless face...

It was already past nine o'clock, and the crowd of onlookers was increasing, and there was a lot of discussion.

"Who did Lei Yan offend?"

"How could he, a deputy manager, offend anyone? In my opinion, it should be murder for money."

"Possibly."

"Yes, I heard that the yard of Lei Yan's wife in the development zone is going to be demolished. It costs a lot of money. Didn't you see that the couple bought a refrigerator and a combination cabinet?"

"Too high-profile. You shouldn't spend money like this."

"That's right. It's not easy to make some money. Who doesn't want to improve their lives? Besides, Lei Yan's wife likes to be clean. It would be strange if they don't change it."

...

As soon as Xie Qing walked out of the door, the discussions became much quieter, and people automatically made way for her.

She got on the funeral home's car in full view of everyone. At the moment the door closed, the night wind blowing through the alley brought a few small gossips to her ears.

"Fuck, is this girl a forensic doctor?"

"I heard that all those in white coats are."

"Emma, ​​Emma."

...

Funeral home, autopsy room.

Four bodies require four autopsy tables. The conditions are limited, so they just do two by two.

The case was originally from the Feng'an Branch. The case was not necessarily complicated, and the Feng'an Branch might not be unable to solve the case. The reason why the Municipal Bureau was alarmed was because four people died at once.

Chen Qian was about to retire and had no ambition, so he directly pushed the work to Zhao the forensic doctor and Han Feng.

He asked Xie Qing to fill out the autopsy form, and he took a camera to record the evidence. Han Feng loves to show off and has good skills. He

cuts steadily, accurately and ruthlessly, and soon opens the chest of the elderly male victim. He points to the ribs and says, "Xie, look, this knife cuts the ribs. The murderer is very strong." Forensic doctor Zhao also says, "The elderly female victim also died of heart injury, and her ribs were also broken." He taps the ribs with the knife and says, "The osteoporosis is not serious. The murderer is really strong. This knife went through the bones and stabbed the heart. The knife has no hand guard, so I guess his hand will be injured." Chen Qian says, "Generally there will be injuries, but not absolutely." Xie Qing writes down the contents of the autopsy one by one.

After the cause of death was determined, the autopsy did not need to be complicated. The only thing left to do was to determine the time of death.

Han Feng opened the stomach and duodenum of the elderly male deceased. Both were empty, but the small intestine was relatively rich.

Lei Yan and his wife were different from the elderly couple.

Not only did they drink alcohol, they also ate a lot of barbecue. Their stomachs were full of alcohol and there were still some meat residues.

Based on the laws of food movement in the digestive tract, it can be confirmed that Chen Qian's judgment on the time of death was correct - it was around one o'clock in the morning.

Han Feng put down the scalpel. "The trace examiners found no signs of forced entry, and there were no scratches on the walls. What do you think, could it have been done by a neighbor? The two houses share a wall. As long as they had a ladder, they could have climbed over the wall effortlessly, and then opened the door and pretended to be running away with their shoes on."

Chen Qian shook his head. "That's unlikely. If the neighbor suddenly climbed over the wall, old man Lei would have been so frightened that it would have been impossible for him not to make a fuss."

Han Feng retorted, "It's cool at night now, and everyone goes to bed with their windows closed. It's normal that they were fast asleep in the early morning."

Chen Qian smiled and said nothing.

Xie Qing thought that Han Feng's idea was still good, but if there was such a big hatred between the neighbors, the onlookers and Lei Sheng who reported the case would have reported it long ago, and the case would have been solved before the city bureau came to investigate.

"If it was a neighbor who did it, he would have run away long ago. Okay, stop talking nonsense and sew it up quickly." Forensic doctor Zhao was also done.

Xie Qing put down the autopsy form and rushed to pick up the needle and thread, "You guys take a break, I'll sew it."

Han Feng said, "No, I'm quick, I'll finish it in a while."

Forensic doctor Zhao glanced at him, "Why are you showing off? Let me, Xie, do some exercise."

Han Feng suddenly realized, "Right, right, why didn't I think of that?"

Forensic doctor Zhao said, "If you could think of it, would you still be single until now?"

"Oh..." Han Feng was a little uncomfortable, "Brother Zhao, don't belittle me."

Chen Qian smiled again.

Xie Qing began to sew, with skillful and quick movements, working together with Han Feng, but finished five minutes earlier than Han Feng.

Forensic doctor Zhao said in astonishment: "No wonder Xiao Xie was admitted to the Municipal Bureau, it's amazing."

Xie Qing was about to speak when the mobile phone in her bag rang. She quickly took off her gloves, smiled politely at Forensic Doctor Zhao, and answered the phone.

Tan Yi's call.

"Xiao Xie, are you done?"

"It's done. I'll let Forensic Doctor Chen talk to you."

Xie Qing handed the phone to Chen Qian, who briefly described the autopsy results, and the two hung up the phone.

Chen Qian said: "Clean up, freeze the body, and we'll go to Feng'an Branch for a meeting."

On the way to Feng'an Branch, Han Feng's courtesy disappeared without a trace.

It is true that a trainee forensic doctor cannot even buy a mobile phone with a year's salary, and the phone bill is also a considerable expense.

Xie Qing's consumption level is enough to scare away any civil servant.

Xie Qing did not expect that a phone call could also keep away peach blossoms. While feeling a little comforted, she was also vaguely uneasy.

The second floor of Feng'an Branch.

When Xie Qing and others went in, everyone was already seated, and Tan Yi was recording the case details that had been mastered on the big blackboard.

Xie Qing sat down and quickly reviewed the case.

1. No enemies of the Lei family were found.

Neighbors said that the middle-aged couple were filial to their parents, rarely quarreled, and had a harmonious relationship with their neighbors. Their daughter Lei Miao was admitted to a prestigious university and came back once every six months.

The people at the scrap company said that Lei Yan was very good

at dealing with people and never offended anyone. Lei Sheng, who reported the case, also said that his cousin's family was a good bunch and it was impossible for them to have any enemies.

The time of death was determined to be around 1 a.m. and the murderer was very strong.

At the same time, the neighbors were all asleep and no knocks or cries for help were heard.

The criminal police searched near Lei's house and did not receive any reports of suspicious people.

There were no signs of prying on the main door and the upper room entrance door.

The bloody footprints belonged to one person and it was inferred that the murderer was around 178.

The murder weapon has been found.

The matter of the demolition payment has been investigated.

The demolition compensation was 100,000 yuan, but the criminal police did not find a large sum of money in Lei's house. There was a passbook, but it only had a few thousand yuan. They suspected that the murderer had committed embezzlement, but this needed to be confirmed by Lei Miao and Lei Guang - Lei Guang was Lei Yan's younger brother.

A total of seven or eight fingerprint samples were extracted, in addition to the four dead, there were two fingerprints from Lei Sheng and a neighbor.

Tan Yi's handwriting was good, with clear edges and even strokes, which showed that he was a man of strong will and stable character.

After writing the last stroke, Tan Yi threw the chalk away, and it fell into the wooden box honestly.

He said, "That's all we know. Captain Li is more familiar with Xingfuli than we are, so let Captain Li talk first."

Old Li is the captain of the criminal investigation team of Feng'an Branch. His full name is Li Yusen. He is about 50 years old, short and fat, with a big belly.

He crossed his legs and said firmly, "This kind of case is either for money or murder. Since there are no enemies, it is probably embezzlement. I think Lei Sheng's family should be investigated carefully. He is about the same height as the suspect, has the key to Lei Yan's house, is familiar with old man Lei, and came in in the dark. Even if he was hit by old man Lei, old man Lei might not scream."

The criminal police of the branch nodded repeatedly.

Li Yusen threw out a suspicious target and finished his words.

Tan Yi cast his gaze towards Fu Da, "Brother Fu, you also say something."

Fu Da said, "I agree with Brother Li's opinion. In addition, I think the people who drank with Lei Yan and his wife should also be investigated. Get them drunk, focus on the old couple, and divide them up. I think the murderer can do it."

Tan Yi nodded and looked at Chen Qian and forensic doctor Zhao, "What do the forensic doctors think?"

Chen Qian waved his hand to indicate that he had no opinion.

Han Feng expressed the speculation that the neighbor was tempted by the money and broke into the house to kill and rob.

Forensic doctor Zhao added that the murderer's hand might be injured.

Xie Qing remained silent. It's not that she didn't have an opinion, but she felt that she hadn't thought it through maturely.

Tan Yi had heard about Xie Qing's achievements and called out, "Xiao Xie, you should also tell us something."

Being called out by the new leader, blindly refusing might make people feel that he is looking down on him and he would not cooperate with the work.

Xie Qing said, "Lei Yan's wife Kong Chunxiang has a cleanliness fetish and changes into slippers before entering the house, so the tiles are very clean. There are no shoe prints on the tiles, which confirms that the murderer is familiar with the living habits of this family. The cabinet was not turned upside down, which means that the murderer knows where the money is. I think we can check Lei Guang."

A young criminal policeman from the branch said, "Captain Tan, we have contacted Lei Guang. Lei Guang's family lives in Fengshan District. He broke his leg a few days ago and said that he would come to Lei Yan's house immediately, even if he had to crawl."

He denied Xie Qing's idea in a disguised way.

Xie Qing said nothing and nodded to Tan Yi, indicating that he had nothing else to say.

Tan Yi said, "Does anyone have any comments?"

"No." The young detective who refuted Xie Qing answered for everyone.

Tan Yi said, "Lei Sheng, Lei's neighbors, Lei Guang, and people who drank with Lei Yan can all be set as investigation targets. Captain Li, you check Lei Sheng, Lei's neighbors, and people who drank with Lei Yan, and Team Leader Fu will take people to check Lei Guang." "

In addition, we must also check the Lei family's phone calls and Lei Yan's pager. We will try not to let go of anyone who may know that the Lei family has a large amount of demolition funds in the account."

The Municipal Bureau is in Fengshan District, so it is more convenient to investigate Lei Guang.

Captain Li had no comments and immediately agreed.

The meeting was over, and everyone went home.

Most of the people in the Municipal Bureau lived in Fengshan District, and only Xie Qing and Tan Yi lived in the development zone.

Fu Da said, "Xiao Xie, take the captain's car. You are both in the development zone."

Xie Qing couldn't refuse his suggestion and had to take the co-pilot's seat.

Liu Feng and Du Zhun also took Tan Yi's car. They lived in the same community and were on the same route to the development zone.

As soon as the car started, Du Zhun started talking, "Xiao Xie, why do you think the murderer is Lei Guang?"

Xie Qing said, "The basis is what I said at the meeting, and the other is intuition."

Du Zhun curled his lips, "You girls, you always rely on intuition." He pushed Liu Feng, who closed his eyes and rested his mind, "If the murderer is Lei Guang, it would be too cruel. He is your biological father, mother, and elder brother!"

Liu Feng said, "Who said it wasn't?" He grabbed Du Zhun's leg and signaled him not to talk too much.

Du Zhun glanced at Tan Yi, and finally closed his mouth, leaned his head against the window, and soon began to snore.

Xie Qing didn't want to talk anymore, and began to close her eyes and rest her mind.

Twenty minutes later, Du Zhun and Liu Feng got off the car, leaving only Xie Qing and Tan Yi.

Xie Qing thought for a moment and finally asked, "Why did Captain Tan insist on checking the lightning?"

Tan Yi asked, "Why did you?"

Xie Qing wanted to say that she asked first, but he was the leader, and arguing like that would lead to an inexplicable familiarity between them, and she didn't want that.

She said, "My reasons are not sufficient, and they are mostly subjective and speculative."

Tan Yi said, "Because of those photos? I saw you looking at those photos."

Xie Qing nodded, "My reasons are very simple. Lei Yan has only one daughter, and Lei Guang has two sons. His wife likes to dress up, but her clothes and jewelry are not up to standard. They must be very short of money."

Tan Yi said, "I agree with you. Your reasons are indeed not sufficient, and they are mostly subjective and speculative."

Xie Qing: "..."

After a while, Tan Yi said again, "However, I agree with you. Lei Guang is indeed very suspicious."

Xie Qing: "..."
