Mu Min stayed with Su Wan until very late before returning to the police headquarters. It was less than two hours before dawn. Mu Min took a nap on the wicker chair in his office. [No pop-up novel website]
An hour later, the phone rang loudly.
"I'm sorry for calling you so early." The voice on the phone was Salina. "The forensic report on the railing has been sent. There is something you want."
"It's okay," Mu Min was already fully awake, "I'll be right over." "Novel" Novel chapters are updated the fastest
The so-called forensic center is actually just a few small rooms in the police headquarters, which contain some silly, big, black and thick experimental equipment produced by Lingao. The forensic methods here are very few and very backward. They are limited to equipment and personnel. Some forensics You have to go to the Central Laboratory of Heavy Industry to do it. But such pitiful means are enough to dominate this time and space.
Salina was wearing an isolation gown, Lingao-made goggles and a mask, and her white-gloved hands were carefully handling the rotten wooden stick on the table.
Salina's position as Director of the Forensic Center is purely to catch a duck. The logic of this appointment is that the forensic technology level of powerful American institutions is much more advanced than that of China, so the pigs Salina has seen must be better than those of Ran Yao and Ran Yao. Domestic police officers like Mu Min have seen many more pigs.
Salina did not live up to expectations. She learned and used it flexibly, and managed to open this forensic center. Of course, the experience of the previous police officers was far from enough just reading books and watching CSI. Many of the technical means used by this center are supported by professionals from the Senate's biology and chemistry laboratories.
"Did you find anything good?"
"You will definitely like the complete fingerprints." Salina smiled and picked up a sample box from the table. There were several small pieces of glass inside for extracting fingerprints. "The fingerprints are very clear and perfect. Although I don't know whose they are, I can tell that they were left by a person holding the railing with both hands."
"Hold the railing?!"
"Very true." Salina smiled meaningfully and made a baseball swing.
Mu Min thought of the autopsy report and Su Wan's analysis. Lin Xiaoya's abdominal bleeding was caused by being beaten in her previous life after falling from a building. In this case, the murderer once used this railing as a stick to commit murder.
Mu Min put on gloves and looked at the railing carefully. Judging from the diameter, length and weight, it was easy to hold and wave. Actually, it's not very heavy. The wood used to make the railings is not high-quality wood to begin with.
"The railing has actually been corroded and broken. Although there is an external force, the external force is very small - just a slight break. It can be broken." Salina pointed to a black and rotten fracture.
"Where's the other end."
"The two ends of the railing are fixed by plugging into the holes in the stone railing. After the railing is cracked in the middle, it can be easily pulled out. It is very convenient as a murder weapon."
Mu Min nodded. She had roughly outlined the entire case process: the murderer invited Lin Xiaoya to the rooftop of the service agency to talk. Then he attacked her with the stick. After seriously injuring her, he pushed her down from the roof of the building to death.
This would explain why the autopsy results showed abdominal injuries and back injuries. She didn't commit suicide, nor was she simply pushed to the ground.
Judging from the location of the crime, the subsequent disposal and the "locally obtained" murder weapon, it is very likely that the killing was an impromptu murder rather than a murder.
"It's a pity that we don't have a fingerprint database! There are no suspects. Unless we check the fingerprint files one by one——"
"No, there is already a suspect." Mu Min shook his head. "But I have to spend a few days applying before I can get the fingerprints - I'm afraid I may not be able to get the fingerprints yet."
The movements of Selina's hands stopped for a moment: "Is it really related to the elders?"
Mu Min responded with a nod.
"What a shame. The dregs of humanity!" Selina cursed through gritted teeth.
"Any other discoveries?"
"No, no footprints were collected on the roof. There are no valuable fragments - if we need a physical evidence vacuum cleaner and a DNA laboratory, we will definitely be able to collect stronger evidence..." Salina said with regret. .
"The evidence is actually enough." Mu Min said, "Now we have to look at the law."
Salina hesitated for a moment and asked: "Cheng Cheng told me that even if we can collect enough evidence to prove that a murder was committed by a senator, the senator will not be held accountable for any legal responsibility-"
Mu Min frowned: "Who is Cheng Cheng?"
"I can't pronounce her full name. The pronunciation is too complicated. She works in the big library and is Pan Pan's friend."
"Have you told her about this case?"
"No, I understand the rules here - police officers all over the world have no right to tell others about the case casually." Salina shook her head.
Mu Min realized that Pan Pan must have told Cheng Yongxin about the case. She didn't know Cheng Yongxin, but no matter who she was, she and the Big Library obviously had nothing to do with this case - Pan Pan's behavior was problematic, and to be serious, it was a serious violation of discipline.
"Don't mention this to anyone else for now, okay?"
"What if Director Ran asks?"
"Then just say whatever you want." Mu Min said that pure-blooded Europeans and Americans like her are delicate beings within the Senate group, and it is not appropriate to complicate their situation.
"Okay, but you still didn't answer my question, Mu, the elder doesn't have to be responsible?"
"Strictly speaking, I still have to take responsibility, but it's just a slight one. Have you read the Common Programme?"
"No, I can't read Chinese legal documents..." Salina said, "In other words, the senator will only receive a very light punishment, even a symbolic one?"
Mu Min nodded: "Absolutely." She knew that the following conversation would be very sensitive, because Salina was the first "victim" of this law, and she would not be able to grasp the direction if the conversation went further.
"What a barbaric law." Salina was indignant, "Despicable! Shameful! Inhumane!"
"This is the decision of the Senate." Mu Min glanced outside the door unconsciously, "Don't forget that you are also a senator."
Mu Min decided not to talk too much here, so as not to get herself involved. She returned to her office, first asked her secretary to send an urgent coded telegram to Ran Yao, who was in Wenchang, reported on the progress of the entire case, and then asked for instructions whether to enter the stage of investigating the elders.
After sending the telegram, Mu Min took a nap. When she woke up, it was already dark. She asked her secretary to buy breakfast and started to compile a complete set of materials. When the materials were almost sorted, an urgent telegram from Ran Yao came from the confidential room.
There are only two words on it: "Agree."
She immediately asked her secretary to call the duty room of the general office to make an appointment with Xiao Zishan for her.
"Tell the duty room that I'm available at any time."
Every time Xiao Zishan saw the elders, no matter who came, he would stand up to greet them, smile all over his face, and greet them warmly regardless of whether they were acquaintances or not - he would never give anyone the feeling of salt.
This time, Mu Min's appointment was as usual. After a moment of greetings, he asked Mu Min to sit down on a wicker chair in the office. The secretary brought two glasses of mineral water specially provided by the office - there were too many people coming and going in the office. In order to implement the principle of frugal office, no tea drinks are prepared.
"Director Xiao must also know why I came to visit," Mu Min didn't know what Xiao Zishan's plan was on this matter or what agreement had been reached within the executive committee, so she spoke cautiously, "It's about case 831."
"Of course, of course." Xiao Zishan leaned forward slightly, "So, the case has been revealed."
"Yes. Because the case is relatively important and involves veterans, I would like to report to you first. There are some things I hope to get your support..."
"You're welcome," Xiao Zishan nodded, "Just tell me, as long as it's within my ability, I won't refuse."
At that moment, Mu Min gave an overview of his investigation into the case:
"...The case is basically like this. The chain of evidence has basically been formed. If we want to continue the investigation, we must be allowed to subpoena Mr. Yang and his life secretary."
She opened the confidential briefcase, took out the document bag stamped "Top Secret" and put it on the coffee table in front of her: "This is all the investigation materials on the case so far."
"If the Executive Committee decides to make other arrangements for this case -"
"No, the Executive Committee has no new arrangements for this," Xiao Zishan smiled and did not take the document bag on the coffee table. "The Executive Committee's attitude towards the 831 case has always been the same, which is to find out the truth."
He tapped the document bag lightly with his fingers: "I will not accept this document for the time being. The executive committee requires a formal case investigation report. Since you want to ask Mr. Yang a few questions, I will arrange a special Wait for my notification for the meeting. As for his personal secretary, you can summon him at any time - the general office will communicate with him. "
"Thank you. In addition, "Lingao Times" has asked several times to interview the progress of the case. So far, we have declined on the grounds that the case is under investigation. However, Pan Pan is pressing very hard, and they all do it one after another. If you want to come here - can you reveal some of the details of the case appropriately?"
"Isn't it appropriate to report the case before the case comes to light? I don't agree with it. Hasn't the Propaganda Department made it clear that this case cannot be reported further?"
"I understand, thank you, Director Xiao."
"You're welcome, serve the Senate!"
After sending Mu Min away, Xiao Zishan thought about it for a long time on the wicker chair and made a call to the arbitration tribunal:
"Vest? I want to meet you - there is something difficult, and the elders will be involved. I would like to consult the opinion of your Law Society. Yes, I know the "Common Programme", but this matter seems to have an undercurrent The surging meaning cannot be fooled by a copy of the Common Programme." To be continued...
