Chapter 7 Death of Internet Celebrity 01 Are there no fingerprints of the deceased? …
Chapter 1
The temperature in Yancheng continued to rise in August.
It was just a few minutes' journey from home to the police station, but Lu Changfeng's nose was already hot and sweaty.
The sound of cicadas chirping can be heard constantly from the green trees on the roadside.
Lu Changfeng has been in Yancheng for two months, and he always can't help comparing Yancheng with Chuncheng.
The temperature in Spring City is pleasant at this time, not hot at all, and you don’t even need to turn on the air conditioner at night.
Entering the office building, Lu Changfeng walked towards the office with ease.
Jing Jue has been pestering him every day for the past two months, and no matter how hard he tries, he won't leave. Lu Changfeng has no way to deal with him.
Yue Fanglin doesn't drink coffee but prefers tea, so he gave Lu Changfeng a lot of tea leaves. Lu Changfeng grabbed a handful of tea leaves and put them into the thermos cup, and used the teapot to indirectly heat the water.
I happened to meet Tingyuan.
"Morning, Captain Lu."
"Good morning." Lu Changfeng greeted him.
Tingyuan took the hot water and made what seemed to be milk powder. Lu Changfeng asked him, "Didn't you have breakfast? I have some buns. How about I give them to you?"
"I have eaten." Tingyuan said, "I just drink some milk in the morning out of habit."
"Good habit." Lu Changfeng praised, "Drinking milk will make you taller."
Tingyuan smiled and said, "I'm already 28, I can't grow any taller."
"You're not short."
Tingyuan waited for Lu Changfeng to return to the office together.
They just happened to run into Jing Jue head-on. Jing Jue glanced at the two of them and went into the office.
Tingyuan politely nodded to Jing Jue, who didn't even look at him. He said to Lu Changfeng, "Why do you look so unhappy?"
Lu Changfeng glanced at him and said, "He's just a kid. Don't bother with him."
Lu Changfeng separated from Tingyuan at the door, entered the office, and patted Jing Jue on the head from behind, "Why don't you respond when someone greets you?"
"I have the mentality of a child~"
"Stop being so sarcastic."
"Why am I being sarcastic? You said that yourself."
Lu Changfeng said: "Don't make the relationship between colleagues awkward. No matter how upset you are, don't take it out on your colleagues. You may see them one day, but you never know when you will need them. If that happens, you can't blame them for giving you the cold shoulder."
Jing Jue ate the bun in a depressed mood, biting off most of it in one bite.
Lu Changfeng almost couldn't help laughing, still the same as before.
Jing Jue glared at him.
Lu Changfeng turned and went into the house, no longer paying attention to Jing Jue.
There haven't been any major cases in the past two months, so I found some cases from the backlog to practice with and teach Jing Jue at the same time.
Jing Jue's theoretical knowledge is quite good, so Lu Changfeng doesn't need to teach him from scratch.
The eldest disciple Xiao Ding is now someone else's master. He has performed very well in the bureau. The two cases he led were solved perfectly and were highly praised by the bureau.
Yue Fanglin and Zhou Yu entered the office together.
Just as he entered the office, the phone on his desk rang.
Lu Changfeng picked up the phone. It was their immediate boss calling on the internal line, asking him and Yue Fanglin to go to the office.
Lu Changfeng stood up and said to Yue Fanglin, "Director Yu asked us to come over."
Yue Fanglin put down the car keys and said, "Let's go."
The two men arrived outside Yu Chu's office and Yue Fanglin knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Yue Fanglin and Lu Changfeng entered the office.
Director Yu didn't beat around the bush with them: "Fang Lin, Changfeng, there is a case."
Yu Chu handed them a sealed document on the table. "It was reported last night that a middle-level manager of a financial company died in Pengcheng, Yue Province. The body was found by a cleaner he hired. After the Pengcheng police arrived at the crime scene, they saw the exclusive logo of the judge on the mirror at the scene and immediately reported it. You are to go to Pengcheng immediately to participate in the investigation of the case. I will arrange for someone to book you the fastest flight to Pengcheng and send you to the airport. The ticket information will be sent to you."
"clear."
Lu Changfeng and Yue Fanglin returned to the office together, both with serious expressions.
Zhou Yu and Jing Jue could probably guess that their new team was about to face its first challenge.
Yue Fanglin said: "Get ready, there is a case, we are going to Pengcheng to participate in the investigation."
All cases involving judges across the country are directly managed by them. It is normal for them to go on business trips, and their luggage is kept in the office so that they can set off at any time.
In less than three minutes they received the ticket information.
The flight they booked was for 10:20, and it was now 8:20, so there were still two hours, so they had plenty of time to get to the airport from here.
Yue Fanglin's cell phone received an incoming call and he answered it immediately.
Then he hung up and said to the others, "Let's go downstairs. The car is waiting downstairs."
Several people quickly went downstairs with their luggage.
Jing Jue took Lu Changfeng's box and helped him put it in the trunk, and Lu Changfeng got into the car directly.
After Jing Jue and Zhou Yu got in the car, Zhou Yu also received the electronic version of the case materials.
The case just happened last night, and only a few hours have passed, and the detailed information has not been updated yet. All they know at the moment is very basic information, and nothing else.
On his way to the airport, Yue Fanglin received a call from an unfamiliar number in Pengcheng.
After the call was connected, the other party asked directly, "Excuse me, is this Captain Yue Fanglin?"
"It is me." Yue Fanglin replied.
The other party said, "Hello, Captain Yue, I am Lin Huan, the captain of the first team of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Chengnan Branch of Pengcheng City."
"Hello, Captain Lin." Yue Fanglin turned on the speakerphone.
Lin Huan said, "Since the case has been transferred to your Criminal Investigation Bureau, we no longer have the authority to handle this case. I would like to ask you for instructions to bring someone to do a routine visit and investigation. Do you think this is okay?"
"Of course, thank you for your hard work." Yue Fanglin said, "We will take the 10:20 a.m. flight and land at the airport around 2 p.m.."
"I'll ask the bureau to send a car to pick you up. How many people are there in total?"
"Four."
Yue Fanglin asked: "Is the autopsy report out?"
The other end said, "Not yet. The forensic doctor is working overtime. It should be ready by the time you arrive this afternoon."
"Based on your preliminary investigation at the scene, what is the situation?"
Lin Huan said: "There were no signs of a fight at the scene. The signs in the living room were destroyed by the cleaner hired by the deceased. The trace examination extracted multiple fingerprints and footprints in the deceased's bedroom. The comparison results are not out yet. There are no obvious external injuries on the body. The cause of death cannot be determined for the time being. The time of death was between 8 and 10 pm the night before yesterday. The initial surveillance did not find any suspicious persons. We will expand the scope of the investigation. If there are any new discoveries, we will synchronize them with you as soon as possible."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Lin Huan: "Don't say that, it's what we should do."
After hanging up the phone, Yue Fanglin and others began to check the existing information.
At the initial stage of the case, not much information was available.
Lin Huan sent them some new documents, but they were just some additional information.
Zhou Yu has begun a social investigation on the deceased based on the information about the deceased provided by Lin Huan.
The deceased was named Jiang Hua, 36 years old, and graduated from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in the United States.
Zhou Yu sent the links to the deceased's social media accounts to their group. "He has a lot of traces on the Internet. He can be found on almost all public social media. Judging from the number of updates and the time of posting, he is a person with a strong desire to share."
Most of the content posted is about watching the sunset in high-end restaurants, playing golf on the golf course, or showing off one's good figure in the gym. The places they are positioned as are only affordable by high-end elites.
Lu Changfeng said, "The character he created is a returnee who is rich and loves fitness. The posts he shared on various social media platforms have received a lot of likes and comments, and he also likes to interact with netizens in the comment section. He enjoys other people's envious attention to his life. Xiao Zhou, can you check who he is close to online, or if there is anyone who is hostile to him?"
"No problem, it just takes some time."
"We still have a lot of time now."
Zhou Yu was responsible for checking the content of Jiang Hua's interactions with others on the Internet, and looking for those who had a strong hatred for him, or those who were relatively familiar with him and had frequent interactions with him.
Lu Changfeng and his companions tried to find clues from his personal updates.
When we arrived at the airport, we were just in time to board the plane and several of us took the fast lane to get on the plane.
The seats were scattered, with Lu Changfeng sitting at the front, Jing Jue sitting further back, and Zhou Yu and Yue Fanglin sitting together.
Jing Jue sent a message to Lu Changfeng: [I want to change seats with the person next to you. ]
Lu Changfeng: [Just sit still, we’ll be there in a few hours. ]
Jing Jue: [pouting.jpg]
Lu Changfeng ignored him and focused on looking for clues from Jiang Hua's social media updates.
If he found anything, he would send it to Zhou Yu and ask him to investigate further. If everyone acted together, the process would be faster.
Zhou Yu was very capable and quickly screened out the people who had close ties with Jiang Hua, none of whom had the time to commit the crime.
Those netizens who have been singing against Jiang Hua in the comment section for a long time also have no time to commit crimes.
Zhou Yu had completed the investigation before the plane landed. He organized the information and sent it to Lu Changfeng and Yue Fanglin.
Yue Fanglin forwarded it to Lin Huan.
Lin Huan was surprised that they were able to investigate the deceased's online social information and conduct a thorough investigation so quickly.
Zhou Yu's investigative authority is naturally higher than Lin Huan and the others, and the ability to enter the Criminal Investigation Bureau is naturally not simple.
Before being transferred to Group Nine, Zhou Yu was a member of the Internet Fraud Investigation Team, specializing in cracking down on those who commit fraud through the Internet or telephone and bringing them to justice.
It was too easy for him to check these things.
Lin Huan's bureau sent a car to pick them up at the airport. The seven-seater business car was very spacious.
We rushed all the way to the South City Branch.
Lu Changfeng couldn't help but sigh, "Pengcheng is indeed one of the top three cities in terms of GDP. One of its branches is even more luxurious than the city bureau in Chuncheng."
Yue Fanglin said: "This is normal. After all, it is a special economic zone. The permanent population is twice that of Spring City. The fiscal budget is rich, so everything they do is grand."
Yue Fanglin and his companions were led all the way to the Criminal Investigation Building.
Lin Huan and his team went out to investigate, and there was only one technician in the office who was responsible for collating and collecting information.
He received Lu Changfeng and the others and led them to the meeting room next door. "This is your temporary office for the serious crime team. Accommodation has been arranged. You will stay at the guesthouse across the street. I'll take you to the guesthouse to see the accommodation environment."
Lu Changfeng said: "No hurry, let's sync the latest progress of the case with us first."
Technician Xiao Jia nodded, and then synchronized the information they had collected so far to several people in the serious crime team.
"My colleagues are all outside investigating and haven't come back yet. The autopsy report will be out this afternoon, and someone will be sent over from the forensic department once it's out."
Lu Changfeng asked: "Did the comparison of fingerprints and footprints produce any results?"
"Yes, the fingerprints in the room were left by the cleaning staff and the community security guards. No other fingerprints were found."
"And no fingerprints of the deceased?"
Xiao Jia replied: "Yes, but some key places, such as door handles, bathroom faucets, and sinks, did not have the deceased's fingerprints. Someone deliberately cleaned these places."
