Chapter 49 Don’t You Think I Look Like a Human?
Episode 49 Don't you think I look like a human?
Sunday, April 27th.
11:27am.
Police lights were flashing and police had set up cordons on both sides of the Warren River.
The atmosphere was solemn and heavy.
Because of Xiaobai's intense reaction to Mingzhi, the whole thing became more complicated than expected. The police heard the whole story. Although they could not conclude whether Xuan Feng's words were true, the information it provided might be an important clue, so little Xuan Feng needed extra care.
So as soon as the troubled voice stopped, I bravely and actively raised my hand to show that I was willing to endure the hardship.
The leader, Lu Hong, who was between 35 and 40 years old, was their captain. He thanked me for my support and said, "However, the evidence should not be left with people who are not related to the police."
Although this makes sense, it made me feel very wronged.
I was immediately upset, but I had to endure it, "It's okay, this is a process requirement."
Rather than replying to Captain Lu, this sentence was more like comforting myself.
Captain Lu didn't care what I thought. He fixed his eyes on Shang Hexing and asked, "Mr. Fu, do you have any ideas?"
Shang Hexing has never been interested in these murders, let alone taking the initiative to take care of the birds. Seeing that he had a dull expression and looked like he was about to say "no", I quickly pulled his arm and said a few words to him in secret.
"Fu Lin, the other party trusts you so much. If he needs your help, just agree to help. If you need anything, I'm always here and I will help you."
Seeing that he didn't say anything, I wondered if my attitude was a bit tough, so I used the polite question mode again, "Do you think it's good?"
As soon as I finished speaking, Shang Hexing responded with a very friendly "OK".
happy! !
After getting this promise, I sent Shang Hexing back to Captain Lu. Captain Lu had no idea what we were doing. He looked back and forth, and when he was sure that the matter between us was over, he said, "Can Mr. Fu take care of this parrot?"
"Can."
After Shang Hexing took Xiaobai Xuanfeng, he handed Xiaobai to me right under Captain Lu's nose.
Wow--!
Can it be that direct?
That's not possible!
I also saw with my own eyes that Captain Lu's mouth twitched in front of me.
The words "using public power for personal gain" were almost evident from his expression.
But I didn't want to return it at all. To prove that I was a reliable person, I asked, "Have you studied his wound?"
Captain Lu was a little confused, but with Shang Hexing beside him, he didn't show too much repulsion towards me. He told Shang Hexing what he was saying, "It looks like the victim was attacked from behind while walking on the forest road. The weapon was a stone on the side of the road. We have already started looking for it."
"If he was attacked from behind and then dumped, excluding the possibility of being washed away by water, is there too little blood on his clothes? This is the first point." I said, "Second point, although the current and weather will increase the difficulty of determining the time of death, but didn't you notice that the wound is still bright red after being washed by water? Isn't it strange?"
This successfully caught Captain Lu's attention.
He frowned slightly and began to think, "Because this person died not long ago?"
"It could also be carbon monoxide poisoning." Fu Lin, who was originally pretending to be invisible, joined our conversation. "The wound is not deep. The Warren River was built according to the mountainous terrain, so the current is strong. If the cause of death was a sneak attack from behind, the bright red color of the wound should have faded or darkened."
The tone was calm but every word was clear.
After Fu Lin finished speaking, he looked at me again, as if to get my affirmation.
However, I saw that Captain Lu immediately understood what I had just said, and subconsciously looked at what he was thinking.
Captain Lu looked down at the body of the deceased again and re-examined all the clues that had been presented. After a moment, he said in a deep voice: "So this wound on the back of the head... may be a cover-up, making people mistakenly think that this was an accident that occurred in the forest road." As he realized the tip of the iceberg of this case, his expression became more solemn.
Then he looked up at Mingzhi, whose face was getting paler and paler, "Carbon monoxide poisoning, this can obviously only happen at home. Being able to come and go freely in his house, it must be easy for his sister, right?"
Mingzhi's face became paler and paler.
From the beginning of the incident to now, Mingzhi has been shaking her head in denial, repeatedly asking us "Why would I harm my brother?" because the parrot pinned her down as the suspect with just two sentences. Although Captain Lu was suspicious of her at the beginning, he did not name her like he is doing now.
Normally, I don't speak at times like this.
Because I don't know the whole process of the case, the person still needs to be sent to the forensic doctor for autopsy to get more information. If I just put forward some ideas, it would be easy to mislead the police and make them go off on a tangent. If I am right, that's great; but if I am wrong, it would be a waste of everyone's time.
However, if I solve this case too quickly, I will have to return Xiaobai today.
I haven't even warmed it up yet.
I interrupted their conversation again and said, "You don't have to be at home to cause carbon monoxide poisoning. When you are resting in a closed car with the air conditioner on and the engine idling, the fuel will not burn completely and carbon monoxide will be produced. Every year there are cases where car owners fall asleep in their cars and never wake up again. Is that right, Captain Lu?"
Captain Lu was stunned by my words and was a little slow to react, "…You are right."
I continued to speak calmly, "The most urgent thing is to send the body to the Forensic Identification Center. We can continue with the entire investigation process. The investigation of the deceased's house you mentioned is also very suspicious, so there is no need to rush to draw a conclusion. I am just proposing a possibility."
Captain Lu nodded and walked towards the corpse again. No one knew what he was thinking about, and his steps were a little unsteady. After two or three seconds, he turned back, looked at my face and asked, "Oh, I forgot to ask your name. What's your name?"
"Li Zhi."
As soon as these words fell, Captain Lu's face also showed an expression of realization, and a smile appeared on his face, "So you are Li Zhi! Your parents are directors of the Judicial Appraisal Center, right?"
"Yes."
As soon as I finished speaking, he took the initiative to shake hands with me.
I need to introduce something at the beginning here. Because many people are taboo about forensic doctors themselves, and some people don't like dealing with them, so we have an unspoken rule - never take the initiative to offer a handshake.
Because of this, I am actually very sensitive to the action of shaking hands.
However, thinking this way does not mean that I refuse. I shook my hand cooperatively.
Captain Lu extended his hand and said, "I have heard of your name for a long time, and now I finally have the opportunity to meet you. When people mention you, they always say how smart the child of Director Li is. How do you say that?"
"Other people's children!"
Captain Lu made the final decision.
However, this also made me feel that he was suddenly a generation older than me.
But I still find it very strange.
Because my dad is not the type who likes to publicize his children’s personalities to others, nor does he like to form cliques. Why do strangers know me?
Who are you referring to?
I inexplicably thought of what An Qingyan said to my pseudonym.
It was just a small episode, but it instantly disrupted my thoughts.
The fingers hanging by my side were touched lightly. The movement was not casual, as if it was done deliberately to attract my attention. Then, his shoulder moved closer to mine silently, leaving no space at all.
I turned my head in confusion and met Fu Lin's gaze.
He looked at me quietly, his eyes as deep as a bottomless well, waiting for me to speak. The noise around us seemed to gradually fade away, and it seemed as if only he and I were having a conversation.
But I still blinked, not understanding his intention, and question marks appeared in my head.
At this time, he spoke in a low voice, his voice carrying a bit of seriousness and a hint of vague expectation: "When I was investigating the case just now, were you surprised that I would be so involved? This is not like me before."
His tone was neither hurried nor slow, but every word seemed to hit me on the head.
Accident?
What should I be surprised about?
The question mark floating in my head is like a balloon that is getting bigger and bigger, but it can never be punctured. "..."
I didn't know what to say for a moment and could only stare at him silently.
When Fu Lin saw that I didn't answer, his eyes became even deeper. He tilted his head slightly, looked at me seriously, and further reminded me, "Don't you think that I am more like someone now?"
In my head, the balloon of big confusion burst instantly.
He is pointing at himself!
I don't quite understand why he was so committed to letting me know that he and Shang Hexing swapped bodies.
For a moment I wanted to play dumb, but I was a little too late. So I forced myself to be curious and innocent, and asked with some consideration, "Well... do you mean that you look like "Fu Lin"? Want to learn from him? ”
As soon as these words fell, Fu Lin's face turned pale in an instant, as if he had been struck by lightning.
I was a little panicked, afraid that the atmosphere would become awkward or worse.
Not to mention, I couldn't bear to see Fu Lin.
As soon as I finished saying this, I ran away from the scene feeling guilty.
