Chapter 5: The Murder Case in Shenjia Village!



[Case 11 Task Assignment Issued:]

The murder case in Shenjia Village was solved within five days!

Basic reward for the case: 10 skill points.

Case Summary:

This morning, at the home of the village chief of Shenjia Village.

An elderly man living on the first floor noticed that his son and daughter-in-law, who lived on the second floor, were not coming downstairs for breakfast.

They called out to the two men, but neither answered.

The village chief's mother went upstairs and knocked on the door, but found that the door was not closed at all and opened with a push.

Then she saw her son and daughter-in-law lying in a pool of blood.

They shook the two women, only to find they were lifeless.

The body was already cold, and it was unclear when the murder had occurred. In the ensuing panic, the police were called...

Has a task been posted?

As Shen Ting stepped across the threshold and into the village chief's house, he was somewhat surprised.

The fact that this case was selected as a task by the system and given five days to solve it means that there must be something special about it.

Having prepared himself mentally, Shen Ting entered the courtyard.

The village chief's house has clearly been renovated.

It must have been by merging two residential plots that such a large residence could be built.

The yard alone is as big as Shen Ting's house.

The yard is surrounded by a cement wall, with white tiles on the outside.

Under the courtyard wall, pomegranate trees, jujube trees, persimmon trees, grapevines, and other plants were planted.

A small garden has been created on the left side of the yard, with sparse roses and clematis, most of which have already lost their leaves.

To the right is a small vegetable garden, most of the vegetables are out of season, and only Chinese cabbage and radishes remain in the field.

Although there are surveillance cameras at the main gate, their coverage is limited.

The yard is too big, and the perimeter of the wall is wide.

If someone climbs over the walls from either side, the surveillance cameras shouldn't be able to capture it.

now!

Police officers were conducting investigations in the vegetable garden and the flower garden.

Inside the courtyard was a two-story villa.

Alloy windows!

The exterior of the wall is covered with red tiles.

At the very top of the building, there was even an eaves like those of an ancient building, and the tiles were also red.

It looks so unimpressive!

Even in the countryside, it would cost more than 200,000 yuan to build such a grand house.

Most rural people would be reluctant to part with it.

Shen Ting wasn't surprised.

He had heard from his parents that the village chief had his own construction team.

More than ten years ago, I was already taking on construction projects outside. That was the golden age of real estate, and I naturally made a lot of money.

Speaking of which, Shen Ting's decision to major in civil engineering, which is supposed to be a sinkhole, was actually influenced by the village chief!

His college entrance exam score was actually quite high, over 630, which was enough for him to apply to a good major at a 985 university.

At that time, Shen's parents saw that the village chief had made so much money from construction projects, so they encouraged Shen Ting to apply for civil engineering, saying that he would definitely have a bright future.

Shen Ting himself didn't have any ideals or a favorite major. He did some research and even the online streamers who recommended majors suggested civil engineering.

So I reported it, and the result was utterly heartbreaking!

Shen Ting gathered his thoughts and looked at the first floor of the small building.

There's a room here; the village chief's parents probably live here.

The village chief's father stood there, his hair gray, his eyes bloodshot, and his expression somewhat blank.

The village chief's mother sat helplessly on a stool, sobbing and crying.

She was also holding a boy who looked to be about ten years old, much older than Shen Manman.

The boy didn't seem particularly sad, as if he didn't know what had happened.

But his grandparents' behavior affected him, leaving him somewhat at a loss.

The older generation and the grandchildren are all here, so it's quite obvious who the deceased is.

Shen Ting nodded to the two elders, which was considered a greeting to them.

Then, following Guan Guandu, we arrived at the second floor.

Having visited numerous crime scenes, Shen Ting's sense of smell had become exceptionally sharp.

As soon as he went up to the second floor, he smelled the salty and fishy smell of rotting blood.

There was also a faint smell of alcohol mixed in.

After going up the stairs, you are greeted by a bedroom, which is cordoned off with black and white police tape.

Director Guan pulled him up, and Shen Ting put on shoe covers and gloves before entering the scene.

Upon entering the bedroom, he saw two corpses lying on the right side of the bed and on the floor.

One man and one woman!

The man was wearing blue shorts and a white vest, which was torn to shreds.

Both of them were already stained with blood.

Shen Ting recognized the man as Wu Liqun, the village chief of Shenjia Village.

He wasn't very old, only about thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old.

He is very capable and has a good temper.

Even when Shen Ting was delivering food and met Wu Liqun, he was always very polite.

Who would have thought that one day we would meet in this setting?

Wu Liqun's core injury is likely in his head.

Because there was a large pool of blood on the floor beneath his head.

Below Wu Liqun, closer to the bedroom door, on the floor, a quilt covered another corpse.

From the exposed hem of clothing and arms, it can be seen that the deceased was a woman.

Shen Ting frowned slightly:

"This blanket... it shouldn't have been used by a police officer, right?"

No! Of course not!

Guan Guandu quickly replied:

"Although our institute doesn't have much experience in handling homicide cases."

But we also know that we cannot disturb the scene, especially the condition of the body.

As soon as we entered the bedroom, the blanket was placed on top of the corpse.

I asked the elderly people downstairs, and they said they hadn't disturbed the scene either.

Shen Ting nodded.

Covering a corpse with a blanket is considered a "guilt act" in criminology!

There are many possibilities.

For example, the perpetrator might commit the crime on impulse, or accidentally kill someone in a conflict, and then feel remorse and remorse afterwards.

For example, murdering relatives or close friends.

In these cases, the murderer may afterwards engage in remorseful behaviors such as covering the victim with a blanket or tidying up the victim's clothes in order to alleviate their own guilt.
