Some people say that handling a case is like tightening a screw. You must turn the screw clockwise and the last step must not be unscrewed. The same is true for handling cases. In the end, you must provide sufficient evidence.
However, the evidence in these three accidental death cases is like rusty screws that cannot be removed. In addition, it has been so long, and the superiors have also issued orders not to disturb the families of the three deceased without conclusive evidence. After all, I have just been here for a few years, but I have been forgetting about it and never want to mention it.
Therefore, when Xu Zheng, who was seamless, took a break at noon, he, Yang Changle, and Yan Jue came to Xuanwu Lake in Xuangui District. The lake is only more than 30 acres of land, but the water is deep.
In Changming City in September, people felt like they were living in an air fryer. It was sweltering. The three of them came to the lake. The breeze did not make waves, and the weeping willows did not block the heat.
Lao Deng, the administrator of Xuanwu Lake, still remembers what happened three years ago, "Comrade police, look, this is the place where the incident happened."
Xu Zheng walked up and felt something was wrong, "I remember it was written in the file that the young lady and brother fell into the water on a crooked neck tree. What about this tree?"
Lao Deng quickly said: "We were lax in management back then. This was not after the accident... It was unsightly, so we cut it down and then planted a weeping willow. Look, there are still two pinches of ashes under the tree. Isn't this... On their memorial day last month, family members came to give them paper money to burn.”
"Isn't that right? You were not fired when you worked here?" Yang Changle couldn't help but asked curiously.
Old Deng smiled and hesitated, "What...of course I was fired. I was hired back because the scenic spot couldn't recruit people in the past two years."
Xu Zheng saw that Yang Changle wanted to continue asking, so he quickly interrupted him, "Chang Le, aren't you known as the idiot in the waves? I asked you to swim from here to the location of the accident, two rounds back and forth, and bring a child with you. Can you Can you do it?”
"Seriously, I'm just bragging. Although I've eaten tens of thousands of ducks since I've grown up, I still haven't realized how good ducks are at swimming..." Yang Changle replied cheerfully.
Xu Zheng sighed inwardly. It was very frustrating to investigate the case, but what he just said was really not a joke. At this time, Yan Jue, who had been silent, said: "Team leader, I should be able to do this, but the premise is that the child cannot Move!"
It seems that Yan Jue is confident, Xu Zheng doesn't know what it feels like, maybe it's a good thing that it's not man-made.
"Let's go to the next one."
When Yang Changle saw Xu Zheng's serious face, he didn't dare to continue joking with him and drove honestly.
Wanhe Homestead is an old community in Xuangui District. It is 6 floors high and there is no elevator. Unit 5 of Building 2. The accident happened at the stairs on the first and second floors. Xu Zheng and the others took a look and took a few pictures. In the photo, there is really nothing to see at the scene.
Then when he walked out of the community, he assigned Yang Changle and Yan Jue a task. For half an hour, they had to investigate the family of the aunt who fell down the stairs, her work that year, and even her work in the past five years.
When the two of them went out with grimaces, Xu Zheng put the seats down and turned on the air conditioner as high as possible, thinking about how he could make the aunt fall headlong without leaving any evidence at the scene.
Throw oil? The closing report showed that there was no such thing left at the scene, so that obviously wasn't it.
A sloped ice block was placed on the stairs, but the police found no traces of water at the time...
Let’s treat this as a false start.
After waiting for a long time, Yang Changle and the others came back. The result was not very good. The aunt's family had moved away long ago...
Okay, let’s put this case on hold for now. The three of them hurried back to work and were busy all afternoon. When they got off work, Xu Zheng was about to ask Wen Jie to go with him to the hotel where the young woman jumped from the building. Wen Jie agreed with a grimace.
Unexpectedly, Anru saw all this and quickly pulled Xu Zheng aside and asked Wen Jie to get off work early. Wen Jie was very embarrassed, smiled apologetically at Xu Zheng, and ran away with her small bag.
"Xiao Zheng, Wen Jie's family has two children, and her husband often works overtime. As a team leader, you have to pay attention."
Xu Zheng was stunned and quickly admitted his mistake, "Master, I was wrong about this. I didn't think carefully about the problem. I will pay attention to it in the future."
Anru smiled and waved her hand, "Let's go, master, I'll accompany you to the hotel to check in, and tell me your thoughts on this jumping case on the way."
Xu Zheng went through the files for half a night yesterday. He believed that the young woman's case of jumping from a building was most likely an accidental death. The files showed that her lover's notes showed that the day of the accident was their third date, and the only time the incident occurred in a hotel. It was related to the fact that her husband and her mother-in-law's family arrived very quickly. Basically, it could be said that as soon as she entered the hotel, her husband and her mother-in-law's family had to rush from home to the hotel in order to arrive at the time of the accident.
Su Nanying was only 29 years old when she jumped from the building. The incident happened five years ago. If she had not died, she would be 34 years old now. She left behind a son who should be 9 years old now.
What makes Xu Zheng feel the weirdest is that Su Nanying and her lover Zhao Haijun actually met on a dating platform. According to Zhao Haijun's transcript, it was Su Nanying who added him as a friend first. As they chatted, he found that this woman was very similar to him. They all have similar preferences, so the longer we chat, the closer we get, and finally it progresses to meeting offline, and then...
After the incident, Zhao Haijun was beaten up by Su Nanying's husband and parents and ran away in a hurry. He did not see Su Nanying jump from the building.
When looking through the transcripts of Su Nanying's parents, Xu Zheng's feeling became stronger and stronger. According to her parents, the son-in-law said that their daughter was going to jump off a building in a certain hotel. They must have come over. Who knew this... .
There is also the transcript of Su Nanying’s husband. The police asked him how he knew that Su Nanying had entered the hotel. What he said at the time was that he happened to meet Su Nanying when he was driving a customer to the hotel in an online car-hailing service. Then he became so angry that he could still remain calm. Call my father-in-law and mother-in-law...
In short, like the previous two cases, they were all coincidences, but this case gave Xu Zheng a strange coincidence.
Today they were divided into groups, one team went to find out the current situation of Su Nanying's husband, and the other team went to find out Su Nanying's lover, because Xu Zheng always felt that the records of his lover Zhao Haijun could be dug deeper, especially how the two of them connected through the dating platform. .
A woman can boldly take the initiative to contact a strange man on the Internet, and the woman's relationship with her husband at the time was acceptable, her child was just three years old, and she had only been married for four years.
Xu Zheng felt that Su Nanying's proactive side was somewhat inconsistent with her subsequent behavior of jumping off a building out of shame. Of course, this was his subjective conjecture and needed evidence to support it.
"So, you now suspect that the murderer tried every means to get Su Nanying and Zhao Haijun to meet on a dating platform, and then notified Su Nanying's husband of their meeting place. If this is the case, is there a possibility that the murderer did not anticipate? Su Nanying will jump off the building.
After all, Su Nanying's mood swings must have been great when this happened. Even if she had the intention of jumping off the building, she might be stopped by her parents and husband. "
Xu Zheng nodded while driving, "What the master said is that I am going to start from two points. One is how the two of them got acquainted, and how the murderer made them know each other without knowing that someone was pulling the strings. ;
Another point is how could Su Nanying's husband meet the two of them so coincidentally. "
Too many coincidences are no longer coincidences. The policemen handling the case were aware of this at the time, but they never found any useful clues. In the end, they treated it as a suicide case of a woman.
Anru looked at Xu Zheng with relief, seeing the dark circles under his eyes and chapped lips. It was obvious that he had stayed up late yesterday, but he had indeed grown up, understood the responsibilities of the police, and handled cases exactly like his father did...
