Chapter 29 Seeing the coat again, seeing loneliness again
The brown woolen coat became an exhibit and there was no way for Xu Yiqing to take it away.
Du Yu said that there might be traces and clues such as fingerprints left by [the accomplice]... even though he didn't believe it when he said this.
Such a thoughtful murderer would not make such a stupid mistake.
But no matter what, that piece of clothing had to pass through the hands of the criminal police of the Crime Investigation Division several times before it could be returned to the family of the deceased as a relic of the deceased.
It was completely dark outside, Xu Yiqing and Zhou Shi said goodbye and left.
Du Yu wanted to stay in the serious crime team and work overtime. A long day of traveling and traveling, and being constantly exposed to news from all sides made him very tired, so he could only keep his spirits up.
With Xu Yiqing gone, he can rely on cigarettes to survive.
He was the one mediating among the leaders of the fire brigade, police station and even the city.
Now, in the dead of night, I have to sort out clues and write a report with my colleagues in the crime team. You can imagine how terrifying the work pressure is.
Du Yu is a good and responsible policeman, but not a competent husband and father.
If it weren't for the two masters and apprentices from the Forensic Medicine Department who helped share the pressure, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to spend time with his family once a week.
Fortunately, there is now another expert in criminal psychology, Zhou Shi. At least Du Yu is optimistic about the future.
After leaving the building of the Criminal Police Brigade, the cold wind of the first month was so strong that people couldn't help but tighten their collars and breathe in the fresh air.
Zhou Shi went to drive her Panamera. When she returned to Jiangcheng in the afternoon, her car was parked in the compound of the Criminal Police Brigade, and the two of them drove around in Du Yu's Santana.
Xu Yiqing walked out of the gate by herself, and the clear sound of a trumpet came from behind.
"Get in the car, I'll take you back." The car stopped next to Xu Yiqing, and the window dropped halfway, revealing Zhou Shi's handsome profile and hair: "It's just a way, I'll save you the trouble of taking the subway... Don't you Have you always been frugal? ”
Xu Yiqing shook his head: "I'm not going home, I'm going to the forensic department."
The forensic department is in the opposite direction from where Zhou Shi lives now.
Working overtime is normal for Du Yu, so why not for Xu Yiqing?
Zhou Shi's beautiful eyes quietly moved away from him for a moment, blinked, then moved back to stare at Xu Yiqing, and said casually: "I'm on my way too."
Only then did Xu Yiqing realize that Zhou Shi wanted to send him off, and it had nothing to do with the distance.
They were like this when they were in graduate school. The two different campuses were several miles apart. Xu Yiqing's upright temperament would not take the initiative to pursue girls.
So he said nothing more, pulled away the co-pilot and got in.
Xu Yiqing leaned against the car window and looked out the window without saying a word.
While waiting at the red light, Zhou Shi looked out of the corner of his eye. The car window separated Xu Yiqing's profile from the busy traffic outside.
She saw loneliness in him.
The oil painting "Nightwalker" created by Edward Hopper in 1942 uses windows and rooms to separate people from the environment to express loneliness, letting people know that the essence of loneliness is actually alienation.
Zhou Shi, who studied psychology, took on the role of Xu Yiqing at this moment, and she was very lucky that she knew how to profile.
"It seems that your brother's death has hit you hard." Zhou Shi smiled slightly and stretched out his fingers, and compared his thumb and index finger: "Although you were as quiet as a piece of wood before, you are so much stronger than now. A little bit.”
Xu Yiqing was not the type to keep a cold face when others talked to her. She also chuckled, looked away from the window, and turned to look at Zhou Shi.
"Actually, these years have almost come out, but when I saw that dress today, I felt a little..."
Xu Yiqing couldn't describe that feeling.
In layman's terms, it's sad, but not to the point of being uncomfortable.
Zhou Shi knew that he went to the forensic department tonight to work overtime to find out the truth about Liu Zhuhua's death, so he comforted him: "You don't need to push yourself too hard because of your brother's matter."
Xu Yiqing shook his head and said seriously: "It's not just because of my brother. I am a forensic doctor and I have to be responsible for all the dead. The morgue of the forensic department is too cold. They should not lie there, but should be picked up by their families as soon as possible." Go back and rest in peace.”
Although Liu Zhuhua has no father or mother, she should not be a lonely ghost who refuses to rest in peace.
When the matter comes to an end and Liu Zhuhua's body is not claimed, he will pay for it to be cremated and sent to Basia Village. Paramela stopped in front of the forensic department, Xu Yiqing got out of the car, and Zhou Shi asked: "Will I pick you up here tomorrow morning?"
Du Yu said that he would meet directly at Basia Village tomorrow. He did not say what time it would be, but in order to solve the case as soon as possible, he would definitely start the investigation at dawn.
Xu Yiqing nodded and waved her hand: "See you tomorrow morning."
Zhou Shi was about to speak but stopped.
She originally wanted to let Xu Yiqing learn to drive. In today's society, it is quite inconvenient not to have a means of transportation, not to mention the winter in Jiangcheng is very cold.
But then I thought about it, and I didn't know what came to mind, so I closed the car window and left without saying anything.
Because Lin Sheng had just returned from Switzerland and was tired from traveling, he went home to sleep after completing Liu Zhuhua's autopsy.
The forensic department now has only the janitors left to watch the doors.
Xu Yiqing turned on the light and came to the morgue where the corpses were stored - it shared the same room with the autopsy room and was separated by a sliding door to facilitate the forensic doctor's autopsy.
He pulled Liu Zhuhua's body out of the morgue and checked the sutures.
"When you are so tired, your stitches are not sloppy." Xu Yiqing showed a rare smile today and said to himself: "It seems that I have trained a qualified forensic doctor for Jiangcheng."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Liu Zhuhua's body was beyond recognition, and some parts were turned into charcoal. It was actually a bit horrifying.
But Xu Yiqing didn't feel scared. He only had responsibility for the deceased and his purity as a forensic doctor.
Pull up the body bag and return the body to the morgue. Xu Yiqing washed her hands and read the autopsy report by light in the lounge next door, trying to find some clues that would be useful to the case.
Sleeping alone next to seven corpses, which is beyond the courage of ordinary people, is also the prerequisite for Xu Yiqing to become the best forensic doctor in the country.
There are no ghosts in the world.
If it really happened, Liu Zhuhua would not harm Xu Yiqing, who wholeheartedly defended her, and maybe she would be grateful.
"When Liu Zhuhua was found frozen to death in the fire scene, Lao Du thought of hiding the body. I also think this is possible."
If the body was really hidden, then deceased No. 1 to No. 6 should have had no knowledge of Liu Zhuhua's existence. After setting the fire, the murderer threw Liu Zhuhua's body into the fire, creating the illusion that a fire had killed seven people.
Xu Yiqing read every word in the autopsy report silently and silently under the dim light: "But later on, after on-site inspection, this possibility was ruled out."
At the fire scene, Zhou Shi profiled the white lines on the corpses, restoring the most likely psychological state of the deceased before the fire.
They did not take refuge in the bedroom furthest from the fire.
Because they knew Liu Zhuhua's body was inside.
They didn't want to be in the same room with dead bodies.
"Before she died, Liu Zhuhua took out a large amount of personal accident insurance, and [the accomplice] lived in Liu Zhuhua's residence to hide from others..."
He knocked on his forehead.
This shows that Liu Zhuhua and [the accomplice] know each other.
Xu Yiqing guessed that the reason why [the accomplice] lived in the prostitutes' dormitory and Xiaolang didn't know about it was probably because Zhou Shi had reasoned that the other party was a woman. The dormitory was a mixed bag, and the prostitutes were not familiar with each other, so no one felt inappropriate when [the accomplice] left the dormitory.
So she plotted something with Liu Zhuhua in an old residential building without surveillance.
But no matter what the plot was, Xu Yiqing felt that this result was not what they wanted.
"If Liu Zhuhua wanted to defraud the insurance company, she could have been buried in the fire like other deceased people instead of freezing to death."
Drowsily, Xu Yiqing fell asleep. He made up his mind to have a chat with Du Yu about the possibility of insurance fraud tomorrow...
He felt that not only was Liu Zhuhua not the murderer to defraud him, but Liu Zhuhua was most likely killed by the deceased.
Dead people, killed people.
