Zhou Zhimo received the police report: "An old man passed away in the Houjie courtyard."
He immediately led people to the place. The air conditioner in the car blew out cold air, but it still couldn't cover up the heat outside.
Liang Yinuo looked at his frown and handed over a bottle of ice water: "Master, let's drink something cold."
Zhou Zhimo took the water and took a big sip. His heart felt cold and he couldn't help but shiver.
Arriving at the crime scene soon, Zhou Zhimo got out of the car, stood at the door of the courtyard with his hands on his hips and muttered: "Why is it here?"
Liang Yinuo turned to look at him: "Master, what do you mean by this?"
Zhou Zhimo waved his hand: "Let's go in and take a look."
Liang Yinuo followed him and walked in.
Walking into the room, the staff who arrived first were taking photos.
I saw a man hanging on the window, his head drooped, and a rope hanging around his neck.
Liang Yinuo took a step back, grabbed Zhou Zhimo's clothes, and whispered: "Master..."
Zhou Zhimo ignored him and walked over, confused: "How could it be her?"
When I saw Liu Yuqin these few times, she was clearly in good spirits.
At this time, a middle-aged man came over with red eyes: "Hello, are you Officer Zhou?"
Zhou Zhimo looked at him and nodded.
He introduced himself: "I am Tang Shouren, and the deceased is my mother."
Zhou Zhimo said to him: "My condolences."
"Who discovered this?"
A police officer replied: "A thief came in to look through things. When he saw the deceased, he was so frightened that he called the police."
Zhou Zhimo glanced at Tang Shouren, who lowered his head slightly and said nothing.
Zhou Zhimo asked the police officer: "Have you checked the identity of the thief? Is there any possibility of committing a crime?"
The police officer shook his head: "We've checked, it's not him."
"According to his confession, it is consistent with the on-site inspection and he is not lying."
"He often does petty theft and is not very courageous."
"When we saw him, we were so scared that he sat on the ground and couldn't stand up. He wet his pants."
Zhou Zhimo touched the tip of his nose and thought. He looked carefully at every place in the room, trying to find some clues.
He looked at Tang Shouren and asked him, "Is there anything unusual about your mother recently?"
Tang Shouren shook his head: "No."
Suddenly, he changed his mind again: "My mother has been holding a photo of my father for a long time these days."
He choked with sobs: "It's also my fault. I'm only busy with work and have less time to spend with her."
"I didn't pay attention to her depression in time, which led to this..."
Zhou Zhimo told the police officers around him: "Go and adjust the surrounding surveillance cameras to see if anyone else has been here."
Tang Shouren hurriedly stopped him: "Officer Zhou, don't bother me."
"Although we are very sad about my mother, the fact is before us that she chose this path of her own."
"What I mean is, just let her go quietly."
Tang Shouren rubbed his hands and his voice became smaller and smaller: "Don't disturb her anymore..."
Zhou Zhimo looked at him: "Director Tang, you have a successful career and a harmonious family."
"Your mother was just enjoying her old age. She didn't want to live a happy life and ended her life in such a cruel way."
He asked Tang Shouren: "Do you really not doubt it?"
Tang Shouren rubbed his hands nervously, not daring to look directly into his eyes: "Well, it's because I'm unfilial and I didn't fulfill my filial piety..."
Zhou Zhimo pointed to Liu Yuqin hanging on the window and ordered: "The forensic doctor should be arriving soon. Put the person down and arrange an examination."
After saying that, Zhou Zhimo walked out of the house and left the yard.
Liang Yinuo followed closely and asked him: "Master, what's going on? Have you seen any clues?"
Zhou Zhimo stood in the shade under the tree, looking at the rolling river: "Liu Yuqin hanged himself. As a son, his behavior was too strange."
Liang Yinuo fanned the advertising paper: "Maybe the relationship between mother and son is not good."
Zhou Zhimo frowned slightly: "There won't be so many coincidences. This matter is not that simple."
Liang Yinuo stopped fanning and looked at Zhou Zhimo gossiping: "Master, tell me what's the secret?"
Zhou Zhimo was a little upset and pointed to the river embankment not far away: "Yang Chenlin, who died unexpectedly here last time, was Liu Yuqin's grandson."
"His mother is the illegitimate daughter Liu Yuqin abandoned when she went to the countryside to become an educated youth."
"I'm sick now and need help from my loved ones."
"After their family learned the news, they came to Liu Yuqin and begged her for help."
Liang Yinuo's curious eyes gleamed: "Is there such an exciting thing?"
He had a bad smile on his face: "This old lady was quite brave back then. At that time, she was a ruthless person who did such big things quietly."
"But what does this have to do with her suicide?"
Liang Yinuo thought: "At this time, shouldn't she save the abandoned daughter?"
"Even if I feel guilty, I should have chosen to commit suicide after saving my daughter."
Zhou Zhimo whispered: "Let's wait for the forensic results."
"I always feel like Liu Yuqin committed suicide."
"Furthermore, from previous meetings and conversations, it can be heard that she does not want to have anything to do with that daughter."
"Of course I won't save her, let alone commit suicide out of guilt."
While the two were talking, the forensic doctor called: "We checked the marks on the neck and found that the deceased was hanged after fainting."
"The person who operated it was very professional and left no fingerprints or even footprints."
"Before he died, the deceased woke up, struggled, and was frightened."
"After checking the scene, there was no trace of poisoning. The cause of the deceased's coma is not yet certain."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Zhimo began to deduce who might have committed the crime.
Under the shade of the trees, a breeze blew over the river embankment, bringing a little bit of coolness.
He walked slowly, gently touching the tip of his nose, thinking about this case...
"Liu Yuqin's sudden death is probably related to the sudden appearance of his illegitimate daughter."
"Who will this matter affect?"
"Tang Shouren's family was the first to be affected. A poor relative suddenly appeared, and he still had such an unbearable past."
"And my daughter Tang Jiaojiao was also involved in the case of the accidental death of the youngest son of that family."
"And Liu Yuqin died suddenly, so there was no need to save the illegitimate daughter."
"Naturally there will be no more interactions with that family."
"And Liu Yuqin's unbearable past, as well as the many problems that will arise in the future, will be cut off at the source."
"In this way, there will be no impact on the life and work of Tang Shouren's family."
"If you look at it this way, if Liu Yuqin dies, the biggest beneficiary should be..."
