In the interview room, Ye Mo met the staff of the funeral home.
That is, today, Liao Xiaobo's body was ready to be sent for cremation. If Lin Xuan had not stopped it in time, the body would have turned into ashes.
It can be seen that this was done deliberately to destroy evidence.
"Which one of you is the person in charge of the funeral home?" Ye Mo asked.
"I am." One of the men in his forties replied.
"What's your name?" Ye Mo asked.
"Zhao Yongshun." Zhao Yongshun replied.
"You dare to cremate the deceased's body privately without the consent of the deceased's family. Who gave you the courage?" Ye Mo asked.
"Leader, you really can't blame us for this. We are operating according to formal procedures." Zhao Yongshun had a grimace on his face.
"Since it was a regular operation, why did the family of the deceased come to report the crime?" Ye Mo asked.
"We don't know what's going on. This is the consent form signed by the deceased's family. You can read it yourself." Zhao Yongshun quickly handed the relevant information to Ye Mo.
Ye Mo looked at it carefully.
The power of attorney was written with the three characters Zhong Danqing, which was the name of the principal of the school.
He then looked up at Zhao Yongshun: "The name signed by Principal Zhong Danqing?"
"Yes, the principal of the deceased's school came with the deceased's household registration book and ID card, as well as the household registration book and ID card of the deceased's family members. He also gave us an extra sum of money and requested that he be cremated as soon as possible." replied.
After hearing this sentence, Ye Mo roughly understood,
Needless to say, Zhong Danqing must have used some method to obtain the household registration book and ID card from Teacher Li Fenlan, and then took these documents to the funeral home to apply for a power of attorney to cremate the body of the deceased Liao Xiaobo in advance.
From this point of view, there must be something wrong with Zhong Danqing.
Therefore, in this regard, the staff of the funeral home cannot really be blamed. Liao Xiaobo is a relative. The reason given by Zhong Danqing is that the old man is old and it is inconvenient to come to the funeral home to handle the matter, so he, the principal, helps with the procedures.
The people at the funeral home would naturally not suspect that there was anything wrong with Zhong Danqing.
After the death of many lonely elderly people, the village committee handles the cremation procedures on their behalf.
As long as you have his household registration book and ID card, it will be enough.
Once Liao Xiaobo's body is cremated, there will really be no problem found.
Needless to say, the sheets and bedding in the school dormitory, including Liao Xiaobo's personal daily necessities, have definitely been disposed of by the principal Zhong Danqing.
This case is a typical case where the suspect is right in front of you but you cannot convict him.
There is a way for Ye Mo.
As long as he can be caught, he can then be interrogated with supernatural powers to make him tell the truth.
But without evidence, Ye Mo couldn't see Zhong Danqing at all.
People are having a meeting up there.
Has immunity from arrest and immunity.
Even after the meeting, you can only investigate, and you are not allowed to interrogate or arrest them during the five-year term.
But you have to ask, can principal Zhong Danqing be lawless?
Of course not.
As long as you have enough evidence, you can apply for arrest.
It doesn't matter who you are.
I'm afraid that some people will get along with each other and nothing will happen in the end.
But if this case fell into Ye Mo's hands, it would naturally come to light.
The purpose of solving the case is nothing more than to find the truth.
…
After questioning the funeral home staff, Ye Mo took the signed consent form and read it carefully.
However, this signed consent form cannot be used as evidence.
At that time, the principal Zhong Danqing insisted that even if Teacher Li Fenlan asked him to go to the funeral home to help handle the matter, there was nothing you could do against him.
After all, Teacher Li Fenlan gave Zhong Danqing both her household registration book and ID card.
It's like someone taking your ID card, your bank card, your password, and the letter of agency signed by you and going to the bank to help you handle the insurance business.
You can't blame the bank, can you?
Even if you take the other party to court.
Even if the other party takes out your consent form, there is nothing you can do.
Fortunately, Liao Xiaobo's body was recovered.
You have to admire Lin Xuan's efficiency.
The next step is to wait for the autopsy report to come out and then conduct an investigation.
In the office, Ye Mo and Lin Xuan were waiting.
Forensic doctor Professor Liu personally led the team to conduct the autopsy.
It takes about three hours to get the results.
Seeing Lin Xuan drinking Tieguanyin, Ye Mo was a little curious: "Captain Lin, why are you drinking Tieguanyin too? Didn't you like drinking coffee before?"
"I learned from you. Since you left, the comrades in our detachment have all started to imitate you. Even their hairstyle and daily attire are the same as yours," Lin Xuan said.
"..." Ye Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and didn't know what to say.
Time passed quickly.
Not long after, Xiao Wang from the forensic department ran over.
"Team Lin, Team Ye, the results are out." Xiao Wang said quickly.
"How is it? What was the cause of Liao Xiaobo's death?" Ye Mo asked.
"He died of a ruptured spleen and the vomit blocked his respiratory tract." Xiao Wang said.
"But I checked the deceased's mouth and nasal cavity and found no blockage." Ye Mo said.
"There are traces of washing on the deceased's mouth and nose." Xiao Wang said.
"That makes sense." Ye Mo then nodded and took Lin Xuan to the forensic department.
No wonder Liao Xiaobo seemed to have no external injuries.
Generally speaking, there are many kinds of this kind of situation, the most common one is a fall.
Many people do not go to the hospital in time for medical treatment after falling.
In fact, he suffered internal injuries from the fall.
Spleen rupture and bleeding can cause bile reflux and vomiting.
If you don't go to the hospital immediately for surgical drainage, Liao Xiaobo's situation will occur.
However, Liao Xiaobo's body did not suffer from scratches, bruises or other external injuries.
Most likely it wasn't a car accident.
When he came to the forensic department, Ye Mo asked.
Professor Yang told Ye Mo that the death should have been caused by someone hitting him with some kind of blunt object.
And there is something wrapped around this blunt object.
For example, a trap.
Or a hammer wrapped in clothes.
There is also a possibility that the victim was lying on the bed, covered with a quilt.
The murderer hits the victim across the quilt, which can also cause only internal injuries but no external injuries.
…
With the autopsy results, it is now certain that the victim Liao Xiaobo definitely did not die of suicide or sudden death.
However, so far, there is no evidence to prove that Liao Xiaobo died of homicide.
The rest needs to be followed up and investigated.
I looked at the time, it was now half past six in the afternoon.
Ye Mo planned to go to the canteen to have something to eat and then go to Ninghai University of Technology to investigate in the evening.
When Ye Mo handles cases, the most taboo thing is 'procrastination'.
Every day the case drags on, the difficulty of solving it doubles.
Generally speaking, if it takes more than a month, it will be difficult to find a breakthrough in the case.
Therefore, acting vigorously and resolutely is Ye Mo's usual style.
Under Ye Mo's influence, other comrades in the detachment also implemented Ye Mo's style of doing things, greatly improving their work efficiency.
In the cafeteria, Lin Xuan ordered the chef to cook Ye Mo's favorite dish.
"It feels like you've lost some weight this time. Have you been working too hard recently?" Lin Xuan asked while picking up food for Ye Mo.
"Have you lost weight? I don't think so." Ye Mo looked at Lin Xuan, scratched his head and smiled.
"Ye Mo..." Lin Xuan suddenly looked at Ye Mo and said.
"What's wrong?" Ye Mo was stunned.
"It's nothing." Lin Xuan just looked at Ye Mo quietly, and then kept picking up food for him.
"I found that Captain Lin, you have really changed a lot." Ye Mo said.
"In the past, our relationship was weird, but now it's different. We are good brothers, and I'm your eldest brother. It's hard for you to come here, so I have to take good care of you," Lin Xuan said.
"Sister Lin Xuan, is there someone you can't let go of?" Ye Mo asked.
Hearing this, Lin Xuan stopped eating with her chopsticks.
After a moment, she smiled bitterly and said quickly: "Okay, let's not talk about this. After dinner, I will drive you to Ninghai University of Technology."
"Okay." Ye Mo nodded.
…
Soon, after eating, Lin Xuan took Ye Mo to the University of Technology to visit and investigate.
When I came to the road in front of the university, I looked at the students passing by on both sides.
Lin Xuan recalled the first time she and Ye Mo handled a case.
At that time, the two of them also went to the university town to investigate the Liu Guihong case.
Time has passed so long, and now things have changed.
Soon, with the assistance of the police station at the school gate, the classmates of the victim Liao Xiaobo came to the interview room for investigation.
His name is Zhang Xiaofeng, and he was the first person to discover what happened to Liao Xiaobo.
It was also the 120 emergency number he dialed.
In the interview room, Ye Mo sat opposite Zhang Xiaofeng.
Lin Xuan took the record book and began to question Zhang Xiaofeng.
"Classmate Zhang, please briefly describe the situation at that time." Ye Mo said.
"On the afternoon of August 19, I went to play basketball with Liao Xiaobo. I knocked on the dormitory door for a long time but no one answered, so I called him, but he didn't answer the phone. I was about to leave when I suddenly heard his call. There was a noise in the dormitory, so I looked out of the window out of curiosity and found Liao Xiaobo lying on the bed with black blood all over the sheets. I realized something was wrong, so I immediately called 120 for help." Zhang Xiaofeng replied.
"Aren't you in the same dormitory as Liao Xiaobo?" Ye Mo asked.
"I am from the mechanical engineering department next door, and Liao Xiaobo and I are basketball friends. We go to play basketball together every afternoon." Zhang Xiaofeng replied.
"Where are the other people in Liao Xiaobo's dormitory?" Ye Mo asked.
"We are now in the internship stage. Most students have gone out for internships. Only a small number of students are still in the dormitory. Liao Xiaobo and I are one of them." Zhang Xiaofeng replied.
"Why didn't you go to the internship?" Ye Mo asked.
"My family is rich and I will go back to work at home after graduation, so I don't need an internship." Zhang Xiaofeng replied.
"Then do you know the reason why Liao Xiaobo didn't do the internship?" Ye Mo asked.
"Liao Xiaobo is also quite rich. He said he doesn't need an internship." Zhang Xiaofeng said.
Hearing this, Ye Mo frowned slightly. This Liao Xiaobo's family conditions were not very good.
His mother abandoned him very early, his father died of illness a few years ago, and there was only one grandmother in the family.
Grandma’s pension is not very large either.
Where does the term "money" come from?
"How did you know that Liao Xiaobo was rich?" Ye Mo asked.
"The shoes he plays basketball with are all famous brands, and his clothes are not cheap. He often treats me to dinner and so on. He also has a motorcycle, which is also very expensive." Zhang Xiaofeng said.
Hearing this, Ye Mo felt even more problematic.
Where did Liao Xiaobo's money come from?
"Liao Xiaobo, how is this person doing?" Ye Mo asked.
"He's a pretty nice guy. He's very good at basketball, he talks humorously, he's generous with his money, and he has a lot of friends." Zhang Xiaofeng said.
"How did the school handle the incident after the incident?" Ye Mo asked.
"After I dialed 120, I immediately notified the school director, and then the principal and others also came. Not long after, the 120 ambulance arrived and immediately sent Liao Xiaobo to the hospital for rescue. The principal also sealed off the dormitory building and arranged for people to immediately After cleaning up the scene, the matter was suppressed very quickly, and even the classmates in the dormitory next door didn't know about it," Zhang Xiaofeng said.
"Your principal is very resolute in his work," Ye Mo said.
"Yes, last year a student in our school jumped off a building, but almost no one knew about it, and it was dealt with immediately," Zhang Xiaofeng said.
"Jump off the building? Why did you jump off the building?" Ye Mo was a little confused.
"Last year's graduate, who was heartbroken and had emotional problems, jumped from the 9th floor of our training building at about 2 o'clock in the evening." Zhang Xiaofeng said.
"How did your principal handle this jumping accident?" Ye Mo asked.
"The people from the funeral home came to take the body away, and the ground was flushed with high-pressure water cannons. Everything was gone," Zhang Xiaofeng said.
"The student jumped off the building, didn't the parents come to the school to cause trouble?" Ye Mo was curious.
"No, I don't know how to deal with it anyway. It's as if it never happened." Zhang Xiaofeng said.
"You are very aware of these things." Ye Mo said.
"I'm the know-it-all in the school. I've been in all the student union departments and paid my dues, so I know a lot of news." Zhang Xiaofeng said.
"So, who are Liao Xiaobo's friends? Does he have a girlfriend?" Ye Mo asked.
"Yes, Liao Xiaobo's girlfriend is a sophomore girl from the Food and Drug School next door. She often comes to our school to watch him play basketball. As for his usual friends, they are basically just a few of us who play basketball." Zhang Xiaofeng replied.
"Then do you know the specific name of Liao Xiaobo's girlfriend?" Ye Mo asked.
"I don't know about this. I heard him call the other person Xiaoyan or something like that."
"What does the one named Xiaoyan look like?"
"She's quite beautiful." Zhang Xiaofeng said.
"How beautiful is it exactly?" Ye Mo thinks this is very important.
"How should I put it? This police officer sister is one tenth as beautiful." Zhang Xiaofeng said.
After hearing this, Ye Mo looked at Lin Xuan.
one tenth?
What adjective is this?
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation." Ye Mo then stood up and shook hands with Zhang Xiaofeng.
"You guys should find out quickly. I also think it's strange that my classmate died." Zhang Xiaofeng said.
"Let me ask you a question, do you think Liao Xiaobo's death has anything to do with your principal?" Ye Mo asked.
"It basically doesn't matter. It's completely impossible. The principal is not accessible to ordinary people, so you don't need to list him as a suspect." Zhang Xiaofeng said.
"Then why did he block the news, destroy the scene, and destroy all the evidence?" Ye Mo asked, he wanted to hear this classmate's opinion.
"Isn't this because he is afraid that things will get serious? He is going to hold an election recently. Everyone with a discerning eye knows that this is his usual style. I heard that he lost Liao Xiaobo's family a lot of money." Zhang Xiaofeng said.
