Strange Case (9)
While two cases were pending, another one occurred. Gu Fang scratched his ears, even suspecting that he had heard it wrongly, "Where did you say the murder happened?"
"At the Shengli Spice Factory, an employee was killed during working hours." Jiang Shengyu was also having a headache. Just when he finished dealing with one case, another one came.
Gu Fang walked out, and Shen Xingyan and An Xin hurriedly packed up their things. Bao Wu looked solemn and told them to be careful and not to rush forward just because they had a strong foundation, because there were criminal police around.
He was talking about Shen Xingyan. When arresting Li Jianmin, Shen Xingyan's behavior was too reckless. She was just a forensic doctor.
Shen Xingyan: "I understand. I will be careful. The situation that day was special."
Bao Wu rolled his eyes at her helplessly, "It's not easy to train a forensic doctor, protect yourself."
An Xin interrupted, "I will protect her."
Shen Xingyan patted his shoulder and said, "You should protect yourself."
An Xin blushed. He wasn't that bad.
"Go quickly, don't let Gu Fang and the others wait."
The two of them went out with their things. Gu Fang and the others were already in the car. The two of them got into a car at random, and Qi Jiabao was actually there.
Shen Xingyan was surprised, "Didn't you say you were upset? Why do you have to go to the scene?"
Qi Jiabao nodded heavily, "If you want to be upset, then be upset to the extreme. I want to see how dark this world is." Because he hadn't slept well for several days, there was a large dark spot under Qi Jiabao's eyes.
"This world is still a beautiful place because there are people like us who seek justice for the dead." Shen Xingyan said something very inspiring, and then he shuddered after he finished speaking.
Gu Fang laughed in the front row, "I didn't expect that Forensic Doctor Shen has such a strong sense of mission."
"Of course, otherwise why would I be a forensic doctor?"
Qi Jiabao nodded in agreement, "Yes, we have the mission of seeking justice for the deceased. We cannot be discouraged by a small case. I must stand up!" He also clenched his fist and made a cheering gesture.
Shen Xingyan patted his shoulder and said earnestly: "Good work, young man! I'm counting on you."
Qi Jiabao's enthusiasm was instantly ignited, and his eyes radiated a determined light.
Gu Fang turned around and looked at Shen Xingyan, "Not bad, you've got the motivation up so quickly."
Shen Xingyan laughed, and the others followed suit, and the solemn atmosphere in the car eased a lot.
"Now that you're all gone, who will help investigate Lingqi's case?"
"I left Yang Dawei and Qiu Ming to him. One is a scholar and the other is a warrior. They are enough for him to use."
"How's the case going on there?"
"Yao Yong's factory had been making losses in the past few years, but it has just started to make a profit this year, barely enough to support his life and pay his workers' wages. Given his situation, he would not have been able to make it this far if he did not have a family fortune.
Ling Qi checked Yao Yong's bank account and found a large sum of money. He also checked the construction site where Yao Yong worked that year. He was just a per-worker and it was impossible for him to save such a large sum of money.
Ling Qi suspected that the source of the money was unclean and might be related to the death of Qiao Laoliu. However, it has been such a long time since the last check, and Ling Qi is almost going bald from worry. ”
Shen Xingyan bit her finger and thought, "What on earth did Yao Yong do? How could he make money so quickly?"
"Ling Qi is also thinking about this problem... Let him worry about it. We have arrived at the Shengli Spice Factory. Get off the car."
The scene has been protected by police. Workers from the spice factory have gathered in the yard, watched by several police officers. Police officers are also guarding the gate, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. When Bao Zhan'ao, the police station chief, saw Gu Fang, he hurried forward and shook his hand, "Captain Gu, I've heard of your great name for a long time."
"Captain Bao, your reputation is well-deserved." Although Bao Zhan'ao's name sounds very old-fashioned, he is a handsome young man who is only three years older than Gu Fang. He is tall and straight, and wears a police uniform, which is very pleasing to the eye.
Bao Zhan'ao chuckled, "We have already taken control of the scene, and are just waiting for the comrades from the Municipal Bureau to arrive."
"How is it going?"
"The victim was a female named Fu Pingping, the director of the packaging workshop. The murder weapon was a pair of scissors used for packaging. The victim was stabbed five times, two of which were in the heart and the carotid artery.
When the incident happened, it was lunch time and there was only one person in the workshop who did not go to eat because of stomachache. She said she heard voices and thought it was her colleagues coming back from lunch, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
She rested for a while and felt her stomach was better. She was about to eat when she heard a quarrel. She went to see out of curiosity and happened to see the murderer killing someone. She was so scared that she dared not say a word and just watched Fu Pingping being killed.
Only after the murderer ran away did she dare to run out and call for help. Unfortunately, Fu Pingping had died due to excessive blood loss when people arrived. ”
"Who is the murderer?"
"She's also from the packaging workshop, her name is Jiang Ying. According to people in the workshop, the two had a good relationship at first, but for some reason, since last year, they've been like enemies, fighting whenever they meet. Jiang Ying doesn't accept Fu Pingping's management and often goes against her. Fu Pingping has repeatedly told the factory director that she wants to transfer Jiang Ying, but for some unknown reason, she hasn't done so."
The two of them walked into the workshop while talking. Fu Pingping was lying on the ground, her whole body covered in blood, especially her upper body. Her clothes were almost soaked with blood. There were several holes on his body, but the bleeding had stopped and the blood had coagulated on the wounds. The wound on the neck was the deepest, with blood and flesh turned outward.
Gu Fang squatted down, looked at the body, and asked, "Have the deceased's family members arrived?"
"We've arrived. We've already identified the body. Her mother fainted from excessive grief and was sent to the infirmary. Her father is outside, silent and stunned."
"Where's the murder weapon?"
"According to people who saw Jiang Ying, they didn't see her holding anything, so she should still be here."
"No one was caught?"
Bao Zhan'ao looked ashamed. "When we arrived, the whole workshop was in chaos and the scene was destroyed. We maintained order while asking about the incident. Someone saw Jiang Ying running out of the factory. No one thought she had killed someone at the time, and no one tried to stop her.
I sent police officers to her home, and they wrote me a letter before you came, saying that the person did not return home, and they are still squatting near Jiang Ying's home. ”
"Thank you for your hard work. Have you checked the surveillance cameras along the street?"
"I went to check it out, but I haven't had time to check it out. We don't have enough manpower." Bao Zhan'ao said helplessly. They are a police station, not a criminal police team. They cannot catch up in terms of professional quality or configuration.
Gu Fang nodded, showing his understanding. "Shengyu, take Jiabao to visit the people in the workshop again to see what the conflict between the murderer and the deceased is. Lao Wen, take a team to find out Jiang Ying's social connections and see where she can hide. She shouldn't be able to run far."
"Now that you're here, I'll hand the scene over to you. I'll leave first. I'll contact you if anything else."
Gu Fang shook hands with Bao Zhan'ao and said, "Thank you."
Bao Zhan'ao smiled and took another look at the corpse on the ground before leaving.
Shen Xingyan and An Xin were checking the body, which was still a little warm. Fu Pingping is not very old, about 25 years old, with pretty looks, an oval face, big eyes, 167 cm tall, and an estimated weight of 48 kg, which is thin.
With her looks and height, she should be very popular among men. She also has long black hair, which is now soaked in blood, with a strand of hair stuck to her face.
An Xin sighed, "I just finished examining the body of a two-year-old child, and now I have to examine the body of a young woman. Life is unpredictable, and you never know when an accident will happen."
"You seem to be feeling a lot of emotion lately." Shen Xingyan found a white hair on the body, picked it up with tweezers, and put it into the evidence bag.
"You never think about this?"
"There's no point in thinking about it. I'd better live in the present." She has already entered the notebook, what else is there to think about.
"There were five stab wounds in the body, namely in the carotid artery, heart, left arm, left abdomen, and left ribs."
"It seems that the murderer was determined to kill her. What kind of hatred did Jiang Ying have with her? To the point of killing someone in broad daylight in the factory."
An Xin shook his head and brought the body bag. Shen Xingyan was carrying the body with him, and they heard a loud bang, and the scissors fell off the body.
Gu Fang was looking for it. He ran over when he heard the sound and picked up the scissors. "Where was it just now?"
"I don't know. The body was lifted up and fell down, but we didn't see any scissors just now."
Fu Pingping was wearing a work suit with many pockets. An Xin and Shen Xingyan were still in the posture of lifting the corpse. An Xin was holding the clothes at the shoulders of the corpse, and Shen Xingyan was moving the legs.
Gu Fang squatted down and saw something sticking out of the left pocket of the deceased. It looked like a letter. He took out a folded piece of paper stained with blood. He unfolded it and said, "It seems that the scissors were hidden in the deceased's pocket."
He glanced at the letter and frowned, "It's a love letter."
The content of the love letter was simple and straightforward: Ping: I miss you. I bought movie tickets. Let’s go to the movies together tonight. The signature has only one word - Yu.
After reading it, Gu Fang put the love letter into the evidence bag. He turned around and saw that Shen Xingyan and An Xin had already packed the body. He said, "Xiao Shen, come with me to find out who this Yu is."
All the people have been sent out and there is no one available at the moment, so we have to temporarily recruit people to use.
An Xin said: "You go ahead, I'll go back to the bureau first."
Shen Xingyan took the notebook and followed Gu Fang.
Such a big thing happened, the director of the spice factory had already arrived and was comforting Fu Pingping's father.
Fu Zhong said nothing as he smoked one cigarette after another. There were many cigarette butts thrown at his feet, some of which were finished and some were half-smoked. He was no longer able to think and could only rely on nicotine to numb himself.
Except for the few people who ran away when the murder happened, the other employees were in the yard. The police are verifying the list of people who ran away. Jiang Shengyu and Qi Jiabao were asking questions one by one.
There was a person sitting alone on a chair, holding his abdomen. He must be the one who had stomachache in the packaging workshop.
Gu Fang walked over and asked, "What's your name?"
The woman was stunned for a moment. "My name is Xiang Jing, Jing means scenery."
Gu Fang went straight to the point, "Does Fu Pingping have a lover?"
Xiang Jing's eyes twitched slightly, "No, I haven't heard her mention it."
"Is there anyone who has a crush on her?"
"She is beautiful, has a good figure, and knows how to dress up. Many people pursue her, but I have never heard her say who she likes."
"Where's Jiang Ying?"
"She...is average looking, 27 years old, and still unmarried. Her family often arranges blind dates for her, but she never finds the right one. Either she doesn't like the guy, or the guy doesn't like her."
"Do you know anyone with the word 羽 in his name?"
Xiang Jing's expression froze for a moment, then he shook his head, "I don't know him."
Gu Fang looked at her carefully. Xiang Jing was about the same age as Fu Pingping. She had a pretty face, fair skin, and a fragile appearance, which could easily arouse a man's desire to protect her.
Unfortunately, Gu Fang showed no mercy to women and asked in a harsh tone, "Who is closest to Fu Pingping in the factory?"
Xiang Jing still shook his head, "I'm sorry, my stomach hurts."
Gu Fang looked at her deeply and said to Shen Xingyan, "Let's go ask others whose name contains the character 'Yu'."
