Chapter 111 - Chapter 38 The Dead Person

Zhong Han did not respond to these words, but nodded silently, and continued to watch them examine the body without interfering with others' work. Gu Xiaofan went to the side, saying that it would be a lie to say that she was not trembling at all. Although people's courage can be strengthened through practice, it still requires a gradual process to practice courage. She has made great efforts to prevent herself from getting weak in the legs and nausea on the spot. After all, the real bloody scenes and real bodies are not those bloody pictures, but are actually computer special effects. The shock and impact are simply incomparable.However, going to the side also made her notice some things that she did not notice when her vision was locked by a large amount of blood at first because of the change in perspective."Look, this person has a tattoo." She pulled Zhong Han's sleeve and pointed to the dead man's tied arm.Zhong Han walked over to take a look and found that there was indeed a tattoo on the skin of the deceased's arm outside the sleeve. The tattoo was relatively large, extending from the elbow to the back of the neck. Part of it was covered under the sleeve. It seemed to extend along the arm and extend to the back of the neck. It was vaguely visible from the back of the collar of the deceased's T-shirt. The color of the tattoo was not very conspicuous and faded. It seemed that it was not tattooed in a short time, but for a while.The tattoo on the arm was mainly a scaly pattern, with some red and green colors in the middle. The pattern seemed to be circling upward along the arm. Gu Xiaofan initially thought it was a python until she vaguely saw a continuous line from the back of the deceased's neck. Then she realized that this person's tattoo should be a dragon pattern entrenched on the body."Although there are many more people who have tattoos and like tattoos in recent years, such a large tattoo, or this kind of red, green and flying dragon pattern, has a strong underworld atmosphere." Zhong Han also saw the pattern of the tattoo, sighed softly, and then winked at Gu Xiaofan. The two walked out of the small room where the body was found."Let's not make trouble there. Liu, the forensic doctor, can't hide the progress of the cause of death from us," Zhong Han glanced at Gu Xiaofan's obviously pale face, and said to her half-publicly and half-privately, "Let's go and find out the other situation first."Gu Xiaofan nodded, and the two walked out of the door of the small room, carefully avoiding the debris on the ground, and turned into the bedroom separated by a wall.There was no body in the bedroom, but the situation was just as embarrassing. The table lamp originally placed on the bedside table was also pulled to the ground. There were broken colored glass fragments all over the floor. There was a combination closet on the wall of the bedroom, the doors were wide open, clothes were thrown in a mess, and there were several empty drawers in the corner."It really looks like a burglary and murder." Gu Xiaofan saw an empty watch box thrown on the floor beside the bed. He walked over carefully, bent down to pick it up and looked at it. He found that it was a well-known brand watch packaging box. Although it was not high-end, the price was definitely more than 18,000 yuan. "Could it be that after controlling the deceased, he encountered resistance during the robbery, so it turned from a simple robbery to a murder?""The probability of burglary turning from a crime of property infringement to personal injury is indeed relatively high, and even if there is no resistance, the result may be the same. But you are right. In theory, if one's ability to resist is at a disadvantage, such as being tied up as just seen, and trying to fight hard. It will indeed increase the risk of being killed." Zhong Han agreed with Gu Xiaofan's judgment, but did not express any personal opinion on whether the case itself conforms to this theoretical situation.The two looked around the room again. The walls and the floor were clean, without any blood or other suspicious marks. So they walked out of the bedroom and asked the police from the district police station who had received the report and rushed here to learn about the situation. They learned that the reporter was the girlfriend of the deceased. She was now in the neighbor's house opposite. Because she was stimulated and her mood was not very stable, she was entrusted to the neighbor to help take care of her.Zhong Han thanked the other party and took Gu Xiaofan to the opposite door to find the girlfriend of the deceased to find out the situation. After knocking a few times, the door opened. A middle-aged man in his forties opened the door. When he saw Zhong Han and Gu Xiaofan, he asked: "Are you police?"Zhong Han nodded and showed him his ID. The man immediately made way for the door and called them in: "Come in quickly, ask what you should ask, and can you send the person to the hospital after asking?""What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Gu Xiaofan became nervous when he heard this."She was probably scared and had a fever. My wife gave her some medicine just now," the middle-aged man pointed to the house and sighed, "Anyone would not be able to bear it. She just came to our house and knocked on the door. We helped her make a phone call. I stood at the door for a long time and didn't dare to look into the house. Just thinking about it makes me feel scared! After all, one is to take her to the hospital to see if she is scared or something. Didn't people say that people can be scared? Another thing is that it's not right for her to stay in our house all the time, right?""Okay, we will deal with it after we finish the business. Don't worry." Gu Xiaofan nodded to the middle-aged man.The two walked into the master bedroom under the guidance of the owner. In the bedroom, a girl of fifteen or sixteen was sitting in front of the TV watching a program. A middle-aged woman in her forties was sitting by the bed taking care of a young girl in her twenties. The girl looked very bad, with her back against the headboard and a towel on her forehead."Wife, the police are here, let's go to our room later." The man came into the house and said to his wife, waving to the child, "Let's go back to your room! Your mother and I will watch you do your homework!"The little girl was reluctant, and kept glancing at Gu Xiaofan and Zhong Han with curiosity, making excuses that she wanted to watch the show on TV for a while, but Gu Xiaofan found that the show on TV was clearly a very boring TV shopping program, and the one being sold was a kind of household cleaning product with fancy functions.The male owner naturally would not agree to his daughter's request, and finally persuaded the little girl with constant urging and talking. The family of three left the master bedroom and went to the daughter's room next door, leaving the space for conversation for Zhong Han and his friends and the deceased's girlfriend.Gu Xiaofan sat down gently beside the bed. The young girl looked very weak, her breathing was rapid and short, and she was obviously still in a violent emotional fluctuation. At this time, it was most appropriate for her, a same-sex person, to speak first. It seemed that Zhong Han also had this intention, so he stood silently behind her without any intention of speaking."How do you feel now? Are you feeling better?" Gu Xiaofan asked softly. When the girl slowly opened her eyes and saw him, he reached out and touched the towel on the girl's forehead. He found that she was indeed having a fever. "We are from the Public Security Bureau. We came to you to understand the situation. What's your name?"When the girl heard what Gu Xiaofan said, her eyes turned red and tears immediately flowed out. She pulled off the towel on her forehead and wiped it, and said to Gu Xiaofan in a hoarse voice: "My surname is Feng.""Is that person yours...?" Gu Xiaofan induced Xiao Feng to speak.Xiao Feng pinched the towel with her hands and said in a crying voice: "It's my boyfriend."After that, she buried her face in the towel again, and cried with shaking shoulders. Gu Xiaofan hurriedly moved closer to comfort her. Zhong Han stood there and looked at the situation. He gestured to Gu Xiaofan that he would go to the next door to talk to the neighbors, and then he walked out of the master bedroom quietly and closed the door gently.Xiao Feng cried for a long time before she gradually calmed down. Gu Xiaofan comforted her until his mouth was dry. Seeing that her mood was a little more stable, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then the messenger asked her: "Can you tell us about your boyfriend and your situation?""My boyfriend's name is Wei Pengcheng. He is an individual and runs a hardware store in the building materials city. I used to work in a courier company. Later, he felt that I made too little money and couldn't help him, so he asked me to quit my job and go to his other store to help him take care of the business." Xiao Feng wiped her tears and sobbed to Gu Xiaofan, "I helped him take care of the store for more than half a year. I told him a while ago that I felt it was too much to help him take care of the business. I was tired. When I worked for others, I had one day off a week. I could ask for leave if I had something to do. But when I was running the store for him, I had no time off at all. I went out early and came back late every day. I was too tired. He gave me money to travel, have fun, and relax. I had to come back as soon as I had enough fun. Now that the weather is warmer, many people have started to clean up their houses, and our business should be busy. So I signed up for a tour group. I was out for less than two weeks in total. As a result, I encountered such a thing as soon as I came back today..."As he said this, Xiao Feng seemed to recall the scene he had seen before, and his body shuddered."How many valuables and cash do you usually keep at home?" Gu Xiaofan asked.Xiao Feng shook her head: "Not too much, just sometimes I don't have time to go to the bank to deposit money, so I temporarily put it at home, at most for one night. My boyfriend said that putting money at home is like paying tribute to thieves, especially in a place like ours, where no one cares.""How long have you lived here? Is the house rented or bought?""The house belongs to my boyfriend. He has lived here for a long time. I have been with him for nearly two years. We moved here only in the past year.""What about his usual social interactions? How much do you know?" Gu Xiaofan remembered the tattoo on the arm of the deceased Wei Pengcheng, so she asked Xiao Feng specifically.Xiao Feng suddenly hesitated when she heard her ask this.
