Chapter 24: Teenager's Elegy 02: The emotions of the family members must also be considered
Chapter 2
From Yancheng where the temperature was over 30 degrees to Zhencheng where the temperature was zero degrees, it is not yet time for heating. The hottest temperature here is only over 20 degrees. There is no need to use air conditioning, and there is no way to use air conditioning for heating.
The police officer in charge of arranging their accommodation was also worried that they would not be able to adapt, so he asked the guesthouse to add quilts and electric blankets to their room.
After the meal, the members of the serious crime squad simply washed up and went to sleep.
When he woke up the next morning, Lu Changfeng felt his nose was a little blocked.
Hearing a knock on the door, he went to open it.
Jing Jue stood outside the door.
Lu Changfeng turned and walked towards the bathroom, "Are you all done?"
Jing Jue heard that Lu Changfeng's voice was not right, so he asked him, "Do you have a cold?"
With this kind of temperature difference between day and night, you can easily catch a cold if you are not careful. If you really catch a cold, your subsequent investigation may be affected.
Jing Jue quickly caught up with Lu Changfeng, reached out and touched his forehead, but couldn't find any signs of fever, so he asked him, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
"My nose is a little blocked. I'll buy some medicine to take with me later." Lu Changfeng turned on the faucet to wash his face.
Jing Jue turned and walked out.
Lu Changfeng asked him: "Where are you going?"
Jing Jue: "I'll go downstairs and ask the staff at the guesthouse if they have a temperature gun or thermometer to take my temperature first."
After Lu Changfeng washed up, he felt better. It might be because of the nasal congestion caused by the temperature here.
Jing Jue brought back a thermometer and measured Lu Changfeng's temperature, which was 37.5.
He took his own temperature again, 37 degrees.
"You may have caught a cold and have a low-grade fever. I think you should not leave in a hurry. Go to a clinic or hospital and ask the hospital to prescribe medicine for you. Don't buy it yourself. What if you take medicine carelessly and something happens to you when you get to Lang County?"
This time, Lu Changfeng did not argue with Jing Jue and followed Jing Jue's arrangements. Lang County is located in a remote area and it is not easy to get medical treatment. If there is a problem with the food, it is difficult to go to the hospital for treatment immediately.
It was a good opportunity to ask the doctor to give some safe medicine to take away, in case the other people caught a cold during the investigation. I also had to buy some medicine to prevent colds.
The police officer in charge of delivering medicine to them had already prepared warm clothing and some medicine to prevent colds for them.
The temperature in Lang County is not high during the day. The hotels in the county are equipped with heating, but the environment is not very good. We were worried that they would feel cold, so we prepared hot packs for them.
The police have made all the arrangements that the serious crime squad was worried about.
Out of a responsible attitude, the police took them all to the hospital and asked the doctor to prepare cold medicine in advance as a preventive measure based on each person's condition.
After everything was ready, they were taken to Lang County.
Jing Jue and Lu Changfeng were in one car, and Yue Fanglin and Zhou Yu were in another car.
Zhou Yu also had a slight cold, so Yue Fanglin and Jing Jue took care of him each.
It started raining less than half an hour after we left Zhengcheng, and there was no sunlight at all on the road.
The temperature was low, the heater was on in the car, and I was feeling drowsy because I had taken cold medicine for a mild cold.
The mountain road was extremely rugged and bumpy, with many bends. Lu Changfeng had back pain and a cold, and his head was spinning.
The journey was supposed to take five hours, but due to the rain and the fact that Lu Changfeng and Zhou Yu both suffered from motion sickness caused by colds, the police slowed down their driving and only arrived at the county police station at six in the afternoon.
Zhou Yu's motion sickness was even more serious than Lu Changfeng's. He started vomiting halfway through the journey and was exhausted by the time he arrived at his destination.
Jing Jue and Yue Fanglin also felt slightly unwell, so the police sent them to the health station.
The criminal police captain in charge of the case learned of their arrival and went to the health station to meet them. He saw that two of the four men were exhausted and could fall to the ground at any time, and the other two did not have much energy either.
After the two sides greeted each other, Yue Fanglin asked about the progress of the case.
Wang Qi truthfully informed: "There has been no autopsy yet, the specific cause of death cannot be determined, and there has been no progress in the case. The family of the deceased refuses an autopsy."
Lu Changfeng endured the dizziness and sat up and said, "The public security organs have the right to conduct autopsies on bodies whose cause of death is unknown, without seeking the consent of the family members."
"That being said, we also have to consider the emotions of the family members. We used to be a poor county, but we have only just escaped poverty in recent years and have been developing slowly. I believe you have felt along the way that the local people are generally not well educated. In their minds, a person is incomplete if his or her intestines are cut open after death." Wang Qi said: "It is right to enforce the law strictly and in accordance with principles, but law enforcement must also be warm and we cannot blindly hurt the emotions of the family members in pursuit of the truth."
Yue Fanglin nodded in agreement. "Captain Wang is right. So what are you going to do now?"
Captain Wang said: "Our colleagues are working together with the township officials to persuade the family members of the deceased to agree to our autopsy. Of course, we are not just persuading them blindly. If they don't agree, we will stop investigating the case. We have given them three days. If the family members still don't agree after three days, we will force an autopsy."
Wang Qi touched his temples, feeling somewhat helpless: "There was a murder in the school. We notified the families of the deceased students, but these things still caused panic among everyone. Now we are facing a serious problem. The parents of the students asked to take their children away."
"I understand." Lu Changfeng said.
From a parent's perspective, if a child died inexplicably in school and the police have not yet found out the cause, it would definitely be safer to take their child back to be with them.
Wang Qi: "I would like to ask you whether you plan to let the parents take their children home on their own, or keep all the students in school?"
They are jointly investigating the case, with the serious crime team as the main team and they are supporting, so they have to refer to the serious crime team's ideas.
Lu Changfeng and Yue Fanglin looked at each other, and Lu Changfeng said, "The students here live in scattered places, from surrounding towns and villages. To investigate them, traveling across mountains and rivers is not the main problem, and these can be overcome. The problem is that it will waste a lot of time. If the case is not investigated thoroughly, parents will not be able to rest assured to leave their children in school, and it will also delay the children's schooling progress. I prefer to let the children stay in school for a few more days, and their parents will pick them up after we finish the investigation and wait for the next school opening notice."
Wang Qi felt that there was nothing wrong with Lu Changfeng's idea, so he asked, "How many days will it take to complete the investigation? Give me a definite time and how many days it will take to release the children from school, so that I can discuss it with the parents."
Lu Changfeng asked: "How many students are there in the school?"
"More than 1,100."
Lu Changfeng thought for a moment and said, "Three days." He asked, "Have all the school meals been checked?"
Wang Qi replied: "We immediately sent samples back to the city for examination. There was no problem with the food. Secondly, the city also sent doctors to collect blood samples from all students and teachers and sent them back to the city hospital for examination."
“Are the results in?”
"It turned out that there was nothing wrong with the blood samples of these students."
Yue Fanglin asked: "What do these students have in common?"
Wang Qi: "They are all from the same place. They were classmates before and have a good relationship. They are inseparable in school and live in the same dormitory."
"The murderer targeted them." Lu Changfeng said: "If this is the case, the investigation should be faster if the students are willing to cooperate."
Wang Qi nodded. "Then I will communicate with the parents first to extend the time the students stay in school. The school now has a medical team on call 20 hours a day. The food that the students eat is also checked first to make sure it is okay. Samples are kept before they are given to the students. The special police brothers are in charge of the school's security."
"Thank you for your hard work." Lu Changfeng said to him.
Wang Qi: “It should be.”
He asked, "When are you going to go to the crime scene? I'll find someone to arrange this. There are so many parents outside the school gate right now, so it's not easy to go."
"Give us a copy of the case details first so we can get a grasp of the basic situation." Lu Changfeng glanced at the medicine in the IV and said, "This may take some time. After the IV is finished, we will go to the crime scene at school to check the situation."
"Okay, I'll have someone send it to you later." Wang Qi said, and then left.
He also has to calm the parents, negotiate with them, and try to reach an agreement.
Jing Jue quickly handed Lu Changfeng some water and said so many words.
Lu Changfeng picked up his phone and checked. It was eight o'clock in the evening.
"Ask the doctor how long it will take for me to be done with this. If it takes a long time, I can borrow their mobile stand."
Jing Jue got up and went to find a doctor to check the situation.
The nurse came over to take a look and said, "It will probably take an hour to finish."
"Can you speed up?" Lu Changfeng asked.
The nurse shook her head: "Going too fast will increase the burden on your heart and cause problems."
Not long after, Wang Qi's people gave them the current information on the case.
They haven't investigated the details of the case yet, and it can almost be said that the case is still blank. Wang Qi has been entangled with the family of the deceased for the past two days. There is no direction for the investigation before the cause of death is confirmed.
Several people gathered around the bed and looked at the photos taken at the scene.
"The Judge's mark was found in the deceased's mouth. This at least shows that this was a premeditated murder. We can ignore the cause of death for now and investigate in the direction of murder."
One of the details caught Lu Changfeng's attention. He pointed and said, "These stones were found in the trouser pockets of the deceased. Do they have any special meaning?"
Yue Fanglin: "I don't think these students would take the initiative to put the stones into their pockets. Perhaps this can also be used as a clue."
After checking the information of these students, Lu Changfeng said, "The oldest of them is 18 years old and the youngest is 16 years old. They are all from the same place. I tend to investigate from their classmates, teachers, and their fellow students."
Jing Jue rubbed his face to make himself more energetic. "I actually don't quite understand. They are just a few high school students. What could they do to make the judge take action against them?" If someone really died, they should be in a juvenile detention center now, not in school.
Zhou Yu said: "Case studies involving violence are nothing more than bullying. If it is just an ordinary case of violence, such as beating up classmates or collecting protection fees, these common cases of bullying should not be serious enough for the judge to take action against them. Cases that require the judge to take action must be big, and this investigation direction should be easier to investigate."
