Chapter 110 - Chapter 37 Murder Scene

"怎么了?"顾小凡一开始并没有察觉到什么异常,直到她看到刚好从车窗旁经过的 A City 动物园,"我们本来不是要去动物园吗?我们不是要确认李金虎可能的不在场证明吗?你又改变了主意吗?"I didn't change my mind, it was the higher-ups who did." Zhong Han's face was not gloomy, but it was definitely not happy. He said to Gu Xiaofan in a very calm tone, "Captain Yang has already told me very clearly on the phone just now that we don't need to continue to follow up on the Dong Xinghai case. Let's go to a crime scene now to take over and handle a report that has just been received."" Huh? "This news came a little suddenly. In the last second, his mind was full of Dong Xinghai's case, and in the next second, he was suddenly notified that he would no longer follow up the investigation. Gu Xiaofan was also stunned. "What about Dong Xinghai's case? Why don't we follow up suddenly?""Captain Yang said that Gao Xuan and Tang Hongye will continue to follow up Dong Xinghai's case, and according to the report they made to Captain Yang, they should have important evidence and think that they can close the net soon. It just so happened that a new report was received at this juncture, so the two of us who have been assisting in the investigation were diverted out." Zhong Han relayed the meaning of Captain Yang Cheng on the phone to Gu Xiaofan.Gu Xiaofan also fell silent, feeling a little uncomfortable. Originally, the four people should have cooperated with each other, but Gao Xuan and Tang Hongye, who had always said that there was no progress, suddenly became "significant progress" in front of their superiors. They had been running around for more than a week, but in the end, they turned into people who "have been doing auxiliary investigations" in the mouths of others. Anyone would feel uncomfortable, but Gao Xuan was the initiator of this matter, or one of the initiators. This made all the complaints of Gu Xiaofan stuck in his throat and he couldn't say it. After all, Zhong Han knew exactly what he was thinking. Although he was reduced to an unimportant "supporting role" so abruptly, Gu Xiaofan might feel even more uncomfortable than Zhong Han, but no matter how he complained now, he would feel like slapping himself in the face.After Zhong Han finished speaking, he waited for a long time without hearing Gu Xiaofan say anything. He turned his head and looked at her, and found that her face was complicated and ugly. He seemed to have some sympathy. He reached out and patted her shoulder gently. He said to her: "Forget it, you don't have to think too much. It's hard to know a person's heart. Who hasn't been blind once or twice in his life?""Have you been blind before?" Gu Xiaofan asked casually.Zhong Han's eyes flashed with embarrassment. Then he glanced at her with a little dissatisfaction: "Am I an ordinary person?"Fortunately, Gu Xiaofan did not dig up gossip to entertain himself at this critical moment. He just thought that Zhong Han was narcissistic as always, so he asked: "Where are we going now? How much do you know about the general situation?""We should be there soon, not far away," Zhong Han glanced at the scenery on the roadside, "The specific situation is not very clear, I only know that the deceased was killed in his own home, and the person who reported the case was the deceased's girlfriend."顾小凡偷偷咽了一口口水,调整了一下呼吸.暗暗希望他在现场的表现不会太让人失望.The car drove for another five or six minutes and then turned off the road and entered a residential area on the side of the road. It was a bit far-fetched to call it a residential area, because there was only one building enclosed in a courtyard wall. On one side of this isolated building was a high-rise residential area. The other side was also under construction, with only this seven-story building awkwardly sandwiched in the middle."I seem to have some impression of this place." Gu Xiaofan said to Zhong Han when the car turned into the gate of the community."Have you been here before?""No, it seems to be five or six years ago. This matter was reported in our local news and newspapers. It was said that this was originally an old residential building. Later, the developer wanted to buy it and rebuild it. The other buildings quickly agreed on the terms and moved away to wait for relocation. Only one of the buildings seemed to have communicated privately and was particularly united. They decided to raise the price collectively. The developer was unwilling to pay more money, and the two sides were wasting time. As a result, an episode suddenly occurred at this time. The developer's plan did not pass or was found to be unqualified by random inspection. I can't remember it clearly, and I don't understand it very well. Anyway, it seems that according to the original plan, the distance between the buildings was unqualified and needed to be adjusted. After the adjustment, the developer found that it had to build fewer buildings. In this way, the location of the building that raised the price was dispensable, so that building was left alone. I was particularly impressed by the news and felt that they must have regretted it in their hearts. I didn't expect that the matter we have to deal with this time was actually here." Gu Xiaofan remembered the previous news reports related to this place.The two parked the car aside, opened the door and got out. As soon as the door was opened, the wind blowing in the face was mixed with a faint smell of stench, which made Gu Xiaofan couldn't help covering her nose with her hands."Will this place become a public toilet at night?" She covered her nose and moved away from the wall with a stronger smell, while complaining in a muffled voice.Zhong Han was also frowned by the smell and said, "It's nothing strange. Such a lonely small building, grandma doesn't love uncles, and there is no one to manage it. I guess after dark, it will inevitably help people solve the problem of urgency!"The two found the corresponding unit according to the address notified by Yang Cheng, and went upstairs. Although there was no such strong smell of urine in the stairwell, the unique mixed smell of old buildings still filled the humid air in the stairwell. The two strode upstairs and arrived at the door of the crime scene. This building has a layout of two households per elevator. One of the doors was open. It seemed that the people from the criminal technology and forensic departments had just arrived here not long ago.Zhong Han and Gu Xiaofan received shoe covers and gloves from their colleagues and prepared to go into the house. Before entering the door, Zhong Han paused and asked Gu Xiaofan: "Are you ready?""Don't worry, I can't vomit every time." Gu Xiaofan smiled and nodded to him. Although she was still a little unsure, she kept secretly cheering herself up."Then let's go. If you feel uncomfortable, go out quickly. Don't hold on. It's not enough to suffer yourself. If you really vomit in the house, it will cause trouble for the criminal technicians." Zhong Han said worriedly.Although he said so, Gu Xiaofan could still hear that Zhong Han was not really worried about causing trouble to others. He just expressed it in this way to prevent himself from holding on for the sake of self-esteem, so he smiled and nodded: "I know! Don't worry, I won't hold you back."The two entered the door. The living room was very messy. There were many messy things on the ground, including clothes, shoes, broken pieces of dishes, and even some garbage scattered on the ground. The scene was as if there had been a house search here before. Zhong Han and Gu Xiaofan walked in front and behind, carefully avoiding the debris on the ground and walked towards the bedroom.This is a small two-bedroom layout, a square living room, and two rooms next to the door facing south. From the door, it seems that one is a bedroom and the other is used to store sundries. The other side is the kitchen and bathroom.Zhong Han walked to the door of the bedroom and looked inside. It was just like the living room, a mess. Not only were there a lot of messy things thrown on the floor, but even the bedding and sheets that were originally laid on the bed were dragged to the ground, and the Simmons mattress was pulled to one side.The deceased was lying in another room separated from the bedroom by a wall. Zhong Han walked in first, and Gu Xiaofan followed him. He took two deep breaths at the door before following in. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a male corpse tied to a chair. The deceased had short hair, a short-sleeved T-shirt on the upper body, and a pair of cotton pajamas on the lower body. He was barefoot and looked dark in complexion, but he was tall and strong, with sturdy limbs. He was tied to the chair with thick wire, which was tied very tightly. The thick wire almost squeezed into the flesh of his arm. The deceased's head was hanging forward, and there was no way to see his appearance clearly from behind. There was a pool of dried blood under the chair.Forensic Doctor Liu was also there. When he saw Zhong Han and Gu Xiaofan come in, he was stunned for a moment. While checking the body, he casually asked, "Hey? Why are you two here? Has the previous case of jumping off the building been closed?""No, someone else is still following over there, and we were sent here to deal with things here." Zhong Han told the truth.Forensic Doctor Liu smiled knowingly, and didn't say much, and continued to do his work.Gu Xiaofan's heartbeat accelerated a little, and her palms were a little damp. She gritted her teeth and went around to the front of the body. Although she was mentally prepared, she was still slightly shocked when she saw it from the front.The deceased's chest was stabbed many times. The reason why it was called "many stabs" was that Gu Xiaofan stared at it for a long time, but still couldn't see how many stab wounds there were. The T-shirt worn by the deceased's upper body had been stained with blood into a dark black and red, and the pants on the front of the thigh were also stained with blood, which looked very shocking."How many times was this person stabbed?" Zhong Han asked Forensic Doctor Liu.Forensic Doctor Liu shook his head: "I estimate that there are at least a dozen or twenty stab wounds.""The internal organs are all stabbed to pieces..." Gu Xiaofan felt that her stomach was indeed a little uncomfortable. She swallowed hard to suppress the strange feeling."Yeah, I am also a little puzzled now," Forensic Doctor Liu looked around, "This room is a mess, it looks a bit like a burglary and murder, but does robbery and murder require so many stab wounds?"
