Chapter 8 Investigation
Walking out of Xia Liang's white accord, Zhu Ansheng took out a pack of red double joys from his suit pocket.
Before he could light a cigarette, a strong smell of sea scent broke out into his nose. Through the bustling crowds, Zhu Ansheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the dazzling array of signs on the road with crooked handwriting. The "fast food" of "meal" is written as "fried", and the "ice" of "ice" is a little more, and it is written as "fried water".
This area is an old city, with mixed characters and signs interspersed between the arcades, giving it a very down-to-earth punk flavor. There will be no monitoring in such a messy place.
The cold storage is not far from the street, and I only walked a short distance into the alley. There was a cordon on the other end, and there were still police officers guarding them, holding notes in their hands.
Zhu Ansheng cut off the mossy wall and only smoked one-third of the cigarettes. He cut off the front part of his head with his hand, and put the remaining half into his pocket. He squeezed out a pair of smiling faces and walked forward.
"Oh, Lao Lin, it's you."
The police officer called Lao Lin turned his head and saw him with a bitter look on his face:
"Why are you again?"
Before becoming an Interpol, Zhu Ansheng spent a long time in the Guangzhou Public Security Police Department and was acquainted with the elderly in these bureaus.
"Didn't I see you coming?" Zhu Ansheng enthusiastically stretched out his arms and tried to hug him. Officer Lin took a step back behind the cordon and reached out to block him:
"No, no... You're almost like me... Every time there is a strange case, I can see you, like a fox."
Zhu Ansheng said a few words, "Finish my sister (to make a living)" and then put his hands on his shoulders with a slutty tone, asking in a neighborly chattering tone:
"How is the case investigation?"
Officer Lin didn't want to get close to him, so he tried hard to keep his head away:
"Go and go, don't make trouble if you are idle."
"Oh, I'm doing it for you. Officer Lin, solve the case early and go home to hold the child early. You don't want to work overtime."
Officer Lin twitched his eyes and moved his cap:
"I told you not to mess around, I'm going to be in trouble when you come in."
He looked around and lowered his voice: "Team Xing is coming in five minutes."
"Five minutes are enough. I don't know what I'm doing. Lao Lin, don't you know yet? Don't worry, I'll go in and take a look. Is there more person, right? I'll help you and me, you'll be fine, everyone..."
Zhu Ansheng said it with great thought. Officer Lin twitched the corners of his mouth, hesitated for a while, and moved his lips quietly:
"You can do it yourself. Team Xing gets me and I will go to your office to beat you up."
Zhu Ansheng was full of smiles, and Officer Lin coughed a few more times and opened the cordon:
"Aliang, I'll go to the toilet and you can watch it for five minutes."
Xia Liang nodded in agreement with laughter and cry.
After a while, Zhu Ansheng finally arrived at the scene.
He stood in front of the cold storage and looked at it briefly: This is a horizontal sliding door, with a sealing capacity that is more than an ordinary double-opening door, and the roller shutter door is much better, with a height of about 1.8 meters, and you can touch the top with a little stretch of your hand.
Looking in, the sight was blocked by a stainless steel rack, which was about the size of two wardrobes, with no pulleys at the bottom, and looked quite heavy - and it was not the hollow style in the middle. Although there were gaps between the racks, only children could get through it.
I think this is the shelf that the three of them pushed together to block the door last night. Zhu Ansheng frowned slightly. He knew that the position of the shelf had been moved by the police, leaving a space for a stretcher. It was supposed that the shelf was moved away to move the body.
A cold air came to his face, and he shivered and inserted his hand into his pocket. The switch of the cold storage had been turned on again. First, to collect clues when turning on the lights, and second, the frozen fish stored in the cold storage had gradually softened after being placed overnight, and began to exude an uncomfortable smell.
Zhu Ansheng walked in, turned his perspective, and the criminal investigation expert wearing a white coat and a mask came into view.
"You'd better put on your shoe covers first, the temperature difference changes, the floor seepage, leaving a lot of footprints..."
The criminal investigation expert who was collecting fingerprints turned around and was talking, Zhu Ansheng's face had already squeezed out a smile and walked as he walked:
"Oh, Xiao Jiang, it's you who came this time..."
Before he finished speaking, he was shorter, sat down on the ground, and his facial features were twisted into a ball.
The criminal investigation expert named Xiaojiang pushed his glasses and then said the interrupted words:
“…and it will be slippery on the ground.”
Xia Liang grinned, helped Zhu Ansheng up, and went out to get the plastic shoe covers.
Zhu Ansheng bypassed the obvious footprints on the ground and squatted beside the criminal investigation expert named Jiang, laughing awkwardly:
"Xiao Jiang, what's the situation?"
"I know you will come, senior brother." Xiao Jiang and Zhu Ansheng were studying at the same police academy, and they were sixty or seven years younger than him. Since Zhu Ansheng changed his career and became a private detective, he often found various reasons to appear at some bizarre crime scenes. Over time, the two became familiar with each other. He asked Zhu Ansheng:
"How much do you know about the case?"
"Xia Liang basically said it."
When Xiao Jiang heard this, he turned to look at him:
"Then say something you don't know. As far as I know, this case is very interesting."
"you say."
"After toxicological testing, the security guard and the owner of the aquatic shop detected trichloromethane in the respiratory tract, which can be basically confirmed that the one used to disguise them was chloroform. However, judging from the autopsy report of the deceased, the remaining components in the body were sleeping pills."
Zhu Ansheng raised his eyebrows. Xiao Jiang said slowly:
"The person who fainted Liu Baoan and Boss Zhang... Let's call him the attacker. He attacked two 'residents' in this neighborhood with chloroform, but used sleeping pills for the unidentified deceased. What do you think?"
Xia Liang's voice came from behind:
"If the attacker's intention is to murder and then frame the blame, he should know the deceased. Using sleeping pills on the deceased means that the deceased should be in an environment that is not easy to be attacked. If he is directly ridden with chloroform, it may cause suspicion..."
Zhu Ansheng shook his head:
"Your speculation is too subjective, and sometimes it is easy to be induced to the wrong direction. The first thing to be sure is, is the sleeping pill really something the attacker lets the deceased take?"
Xia Liang was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly: "Brother-in-law, are you too fucking?"
Xiao Jiang put the tool for collecting fingerprints into his pocket. He said:
"What he said is not unreasonable. The deceased's death has lasted more than 12 hours, and the drug residues of sleeping pills can be detected, which means that the dosage he took is not small, at least it is definitely not the dosage taken by ordinary people to help sleep."
"Also, the deceased's stomach is empty and there is no food, and there is no chyme in the intestines. He should have not eaten for 24 hours before his death. This is abnormal... I'm afraid there are signs of suicide..."
"Wait first, do you say the deceased has been dead for 12 hours?" Zhu Ansheng looked down at his watch. It was almost 12 noon.
Xiao Jiang pushed his glasses with the back of his hand again:
"To be precise, it was 'at least' dead for 12 hours. Because the body had been in the cold storage for too long, it showed a frostbite reaction and the kidneys were also exhausted. There was no way to accurately analyze the time of death, but 12 hours were only a lot or less."
"In other words, the murderer was killed around 0 a.m. today..." Xia Liang was angry, and his eyes suddenly lit up:
"They entered the cold storage at 10:30 last night... The coma caused by inhaling a large amount of chloroform in a short period of time will not be too long, at most only one hour. The three of them should have woken up between 11:00 and 11:30 and then knocked on the door..."
The criminal investigation expert named Jiang nodded and added:
"Sleeping pills need to enter the alkaline intestines before they take effect. Generally, the peak of blood concentration can be reached in half an hour, and the half-life is between 3 and 6 hours. From this, the deceased should have been in a coma for about five or six hours before Zhang Jianhong was stunned and locked into the cold storage. This is a very important clue... As long as you understand the identity of the deceased, then figure out who he had contacted half a day before his death..."
Zhu Ansheng stood up without saying a word, not knowing if he was listening to the inferences of the two people. He put his hands in his pockets and began to look at the cold storage around him, studying the footprints left by the melting snow on the ground.
The shoes worn by the three of them are different and can be clearly identified. The shoe prints are not scattered, all of which are facing the toe toward the door, and there are no other directions.
Zhu Ansheng frowned and moved his eyes to the shelf next to him. The shelves in the cold storage were all in the same style. Except for the one moved to the door, the rest were not moved, and they were neatly arranged in the warehouse. There were many white plastic boxes on it, and the fish on it were frozen inside.
He looked up and looked behind him sneakily. Xia Liang and Jiang experts were still discussing the identity of the deceased.
