There was a wooden table against the wall, and they piled up under it.
At the bottom is a little boy, who looks no more than 5 years old. He was lying face down, and from You Mingxu and the others' angle, they could see his buttocks and legs.
A girl of 8 or 9 years old, overlapping the boy. He was still wearing his school uniform, which was soaked in blood. You Mingxu could see her profile, which looked extremely pale.
At the top was a woman, about 40 years old, lying on top of two children with her knees half bent. She had one arm pressed under her body and the other arm hanging naturally, without making a gesture to hug the child. The woman had several deep wounds on her body.
"They were piled here by the murderer after they died," said You Mingxu.
Xu Mengshan nodded, and Fan Jia said, "Otherwise the mother wouldn't be holding the child, and the posture of the body wouldn't be natural." Xu Mengshan said, "There were no signs of struggle on the kitchen floor."
All three of them were silent for a while. The police officer continued, "According to the neighbors' identification and the ID found at the scene, we can confirm that the mother's name is Xie Huifang, 41 years old, and she is an accountant for a small trading company nearby. The daughter Zeng Zinan, 9 years old, is a student at a nearby elementary school. The son Zeng Zixuan, 4 and a half years old, attends a nearby kindergarten.
According to several neighbors, Xie Huifang walked home for lunch every day in order to save money and get some rest. Both children are in school and usually don't come back. However, at noon today, a neighbor saw Xie Huifang pick up her son and said that she brought him back to take care of him because he had a cold. ”
"There." said Xu Mengshan. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw two opened boxes of children's cold medicine on the TV cabinet in the living room.
"When did my daughter come back?" Fan Jia said.
"It's noon too," Xu Mengshan replied. He had sharp observation skills and some knowledge of forensic medicine. He squatted down beside the bodies, stared at them and said, "They have been dead for about 6-8 hours."
"Why did my daughter want to come back?" Fan Jia asked.
"It should be for this." You Mingxu picked up a piece of paper on the kitchen cabinet. It was a notice of an elementary school summer camp activity with payment requirements written on it. The date of signature was today.
"Alas..." the police officer sighed, "What a sin."
"Is there anything missing at the scene?" You Mingxu asked.
The police officer nodded and replied, "There was a jewelry box on the dressing table in the master bedroom. It was open and empty. In addition, a woman's wallet fell to the ground. Xie Huifang's ID was still there, but the money and cards were gone. In addition, we did not find the deceased's mobile phone."
"Could it be that they were trying to rob people?" Fan Jia was impatient and blurted out, "Just for this, they killed three people?"
You Mingxu said: "Don't jump to conclusions so quickly!"
Fan Jia suddenly fell silent.
The three followed the police officer and walked towards the master bedroom. When passing the living room, You Mingxu looked up and saw that the curtains in the living room were open. The distance between the buildings was not large, so he could see the situation in the home of the residents in the opposite building at a glance. At this time, several families were looking over here. You Mingxu could even see the expressions on their faces.
Xu Mengshan put the empty jewelry box and the lady's wallet into the evidence bag.
The three of them were the first criminal police to arrive at the scene. Lao Ding was still on his way with the forensic doctor. The three of them dispersed and surveyed the surroundings. You Mingxu walked into the second bedroom and was stunned.
The style of the room, like the whole house, is simple, cheap and without any special features. However, there was a half-worn desk in the room, on which were high school textbooks and exercise books. The pens and notebooks are a mess. There is also a model airplane next to it. There is a football hanging on the wall.
You Mingxu called the local police officer over and asked, "There's a junior high school boy living in this house?"
The local police officer immediately went to ask, and sure enough, a neighbor confirmed that Xie Huifang's nephew, Li Biran, 15 years old, was attending a nearby high school. I stay at the school during the week and sometimes come over on weekends. Today is Monday, so he didn't show up.
"Notify immediately." You Mingxu said.
At present, You Mingxu has only seen the surface of this case. It’s like looking at the sea through the clouds, everything is still hidden in the twilight. But she had a hunch that this case was by no means as simple as robbing and murder.
She squatted down beside the old and tacky double bed in the second bedroom and thought for a while. She was so absorbed in her thoughts that when someone next to her softly called "Ah Xu", she was only startled.
She turned around and looked at the handsome face in front of her. Yin Feng blinked his big watery eyes and squatted beside her.
You Mingxu jumped up suddenly: "Why are you here?" She looked at the living room, the police, and the cordon at the door behind him with some disbelief.
Yin Feng also stood up immediately, like a child caught by his parents, a little wilted and a little blushing, with his long neck just drooping. Then he raised the badge on his chest towards her and whispered, "I have a high rank."
You Mingxu felt his temple throbbing as he looked at the certificate specially issued by the provincial department, which gave him access to almost all public security organs in the province.
"Then you can't come with me either." You Mingxu said patiently, "You will interfere with my investigation. Go back immediately!"
So, the great writer Yin was like that again, with his head down, not saying a word, like a stubborn young wife who could not be shaken by a single blow. You Mingxu swallowed twice and felt a little less blocked. She was already feeling bad today, and this guy came to make things worse. She growled, "I'm telling you this for the last time, go back. Otherwise, don't live in my house anymore."
"Ash." He said softly, "I just don't want you to face this alone."
You Mingxu was stunned. He didn't expect that he spoke so clearly. He lowered his head, turned around, and slowly moved towards the door. This attitude made You Mingxu feel at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He also felt a little apologetic and said hesitantly, "You..."
Before he could say anything, he heard footsteps at the door and the faint voice of Ding Xiongwei. You Mingxu secretly thought that something was wrong. Captain Ding was annoyed the most when irrelevant people interfered with the investigation and he would get very angry. What’s more, it is such a serious case.
She reached out and pulled Yin Feng back into the house. Yin Feng was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to smile, "Ah Xu..." You Mingxu had a stern face and lowered his voice to say, "Stay here and don't let Captain Ding see you. Don't come out unless I call you, do you hear me?"
Yin Feng didn't say anything, but his bright eyes stared at her, as if he understood. At this time, Captain Ding and others had already walked into the living room. You Mingxu pushed Yin Feng away and walked out.
Fan Jia and Xu Mengshan were exploring other parts of the house before, so they didn't notice Yin Feng coming in - after all, not everyone can cross the guarded cordon and enter the crime scene. At this time, Xu Mengshan walked out of the kitchen, glanced at You Mingxu, and immediately noticed that there was a figure in the room behind her, and cast an inquiring look. You Mingxu remained calm, shook his head, and signaled him not to ask more questions. As a result, Xu Mengshan had already recognized Yin Feng. He looked at You Mingxu again, and his expression suddenly became a little strange. You Mingxu felt a lump in his throat again, but he pretended not to notice.
The forensic doctor immediately started working, and everyone reported all the information they had to Ding Xiongwei. The forensic doctor soon came up with preliminary results, confirming Xu Mengshan's inference about the time of death - the victim was killed between 1 and 2 p.m., and the murder weapon was a common machete on the market. In addition to the footprints of the three deceased persons, there was also a size 39 footprint at the scene. But he was wearing shoe covers, and the bloody handprints on the wall also belonged to the murderer, who was wearing gloves. The murderer may have touched the woman's purse and dressing case, as there were some blood stains on them.
In addition, Fan Jia reported: "Xie Huifang's husband is Zeng Qiang, who works in the Northeast. We have contacted him. He will arrive tomorrow morning at the earliest. Xie Huifang's sister and brother-in-law have also been notified and will arrive tomorrow. We have sent people to the middle school to pick up Xie Huifang's nephew."
After listening to everyone's reports, Ding Xiongwei thought for a moment and determined the direction of the investigation: "Xia Dong, you will be responsible for focusing on checking the surveillance cameras around the community; Luo Ping, you will lead Team A to investigate from the perspective of lost property, focusing on checking the habitual thieves in the area and those who have been released from prison in the past six months."
"yes!"
"yes!"
Ding Xiongwei looked at You Mingxu, his eyes deep: "You Mingxu, you lead Team B to have a deeper understanding of the victim and her life relationship, and see if there are any findings."
"yes!"
