Chapter 48 The best sympathy is to reveal the truth
It was late at night when the autopsy was completed, and it was pouring rain outside.
Zou Yi should have gone to bed long ago, and she didn't know that her husband had been confirmed to have been killed. So after Xu Yiqing and Du Yu discussed it, they decided to wait until dawn before visiting so that He Yunke's wife and children could have a good night's sleep.
Du Yu sat on the sofa and leaned back, letting the back of his head rest on the backrest. He placed one hand across his head and covered his eyes with the back of his hand.
He felt that the lights on the ceiling were a bit dazzling, and subconsciously wanted to escape.
"This is a big blow to them."
Listening to the sighs of his long-time friend, Xu Yiqing knew why Du Yu felt so heavy.
Du Yu is also a father. He is about the same age as He Yunke, and he also has two children at home. It's just that the children of Du Yu's family are identical twins, and they are a pair of young men.
Therefore, he especially felt sympathy for He Yunke's son who pretended to be strong. Then thinking about his wife's hard work, he couldn't help but start to worry about how He Yunke's widow would be able to support these two children alone in the future.
Even if you remarry, the family harmony in the future will be a big problem when your children are so old.
This is an unsolvable problem. There is no if after something has happened. It stands to reason that as long as the criminal police do their job well and solve the case and arrest the murderer, they will be worthy of the police uniform they wear.
But the human heart is made of flesh. Du Yu thought that he had been used to seeing joys and sorrows over the years, and he should be as adaptable as Xu Yiqing was when facing the dissecting table.
In the end, the dead are different from the living. The living can cry, make trouble, and stare at you with a pair of dull eyes.
Xu Yiqing gave up the sofa to Du Yu, took out the folding chair Lin Sheng bought in the corner, unfolded it, lay down near the door, and reached out to turn off the office lights.
If they leave at seven o'clock, they can still sleep for five hours.
There was no sound in the room, only the sound of rain outside.
After being silent for a long time, Xu Yiqing said: "The first corpse I saw on the autopsy table was the anatomy teacher in the school. He died in a car accident and signed a donation of his body before his death. He was a great person."
Du Yu didn't speak, but Xu Yiqing knew that he was listening, so he continued.
"Different from the reactions of all the other students, I didn't feel uncomfortable, nor did I pretend to be calm. Instead, I unconsciously thought about what happened to him in the last moments of his life, whether he was in pain or scared. ...In fact, I couldn’t help but think this way until I did He Yunke’s autopsy. The more I thought about it, the more I felt.”
As her eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness in the room, Xu Yiqing turned her head and saw Du Yu looking at her.
"But I have never seen this kind of discomfort in you." Du Yu said: "To put it harshly, it is sympathy for the deceased."
Xu Yiqing said: "Because I know that sympathy is useless. The only thing that is worthy of them is to find out the cause of death as soon as possible and return the truth to the deceased. So for Zou Yi, the best comfort is to catch He Yunke's murderer as soon as possible."
Du Yu has been a criminal policeman for many years, how could he not know this?
But being comforted by others' words is completely different from thinking in one's own mind.
So Du Yu's tone became a little more relaxed and he sighed: "Old Xu, I feel more and more that you can't be transferred away."
"No." Xu Yiqing also chuckled softly: "Everyone I know is in Jiangcheng, and there is a serial murderer who is provoking me. I will regret transferring him for the rest of my life."
"If we solve He Yunke's case, we will definitely gain something."
"Everything I can do is already in the autopsy report. The murderer is suspected to be an acquaintance. The first crime scene may be at home. He has been to the construction site many times to dump the body..."
Before Xu Yiqing could finish speaking, Du Yu joked: "Aren't you going to sleep?"
This sentence is like a friend from school days, "Are you going to play ball?" "Are you going to eat?" "Are you going to walk?"
So Xu Yiqing turned over and sat up, turned on the light in the office, "Just hold on for a while. If you sleep a little longer, you won't live longer, and if you sleep less, you won't shorten your life." Du Yu turned over and sat down almost at the same time. He stood up, finally adapted to the darkness, and suddenly turned on the light. The bright light made him squint his eyes.
But he felt that the light was not as dazzling as before.
Xu Yiqing put the autopsy report on the table and began to explain the details to Du Yu in detail.
"An acquaintance...and able to enter the Fumei Group's construction site many times to dump the body. In fact, this circle of people is easy to investigate."
After hearing this, Du Yu thought for a moment and said, "If we find the construction team at that time and they say they didn't see any unfamiliar faces during the construction, then the investigation will be even simpler."
Xu Yiqing hesitated, but finally decided to say it directly: "It matches the characteristics of an acquaintance and the first crime scene may be at home. Zou Yi is also suspected."
Just because Zou Yi was the one who called the police and acted in pain cannot rule her out as a suspect.
On the contrary, in many criminal cases, the person who reports the crime is often the murderer. They have the mentality of concealing the crime and thinking that calling the police will enhance their status. Such murderers have certain brains and strong psychological qualities.
Du Yu nodded: "The process must be followed, and I think Zou Yi will understand. But if it is Zou Yi, what is her motive for committing the crime?"
Xu Yiqing couldn't answer. Through interviews and surveys, everyone who knew He Yunke said that the couple had a harmonious relationship and that they were childhood sweethearts when they were students. They wore everything from school uniforms to wedding dresses.

Zou Yi is also very supportive of He Yunke's work. She will follow him when he goes abroad for further studies, and he will also follow him when he is gilded in other provinces. When he is transferred to Jiangcheng, he is busy taking care of the house, without any complaints, and is a good wife.
Would such a wife kill her husband?
There is another factor that Du Yu always thought Zou Yi could rule out - Xu Yiqing's autopsy report clearly stated that He Yunke's death time was two months ago. Even if there was freezing factor, it would not be too different. .
It will be a year in a few months since Zou Yi reported missing to the police for the first time.
This directly rules out the possibility that Zou Yi killed He Yunke and then reported him missing. Du Yu believed that Xu Yiqing's professional ability would not make such a big error in judging the time of death.
The next morning.
[Accomplices] The three members of the task force agreed to meet at the gate of the community and go to Zou Yi's home to tell her the sad news.
Lin Sheng was also accompanying him. According to the process, He Yunke's home also met the characteristics of the first crime scene, so the forensic duo had to conduct an on-site investigation of He Yunke's home.
Zhou Shi actually didn't need to be together. Although everyone just suspected that the "accomplice" was related to this series of cases, there was no actual evidence now.
But she believes that since we are a team, we should advance and retreat together. We did the investigation together last time, and we should do it together this time too. To put it bluntly, you can't leave the matter of mourning to two grown men. After all, I am a woman and I am proficient in psychology. What I say may make Zou Yi feel better.
Du Yu rang the doorbell of the villa.
"Coming!"
Soon Zou Yi's voice came from the video doorbell at the door: "Who are you looking for?"
"It's me." Du Yu said, "I'm Du Yu from the Criminal Police Brigade."
The door opened quickly, and Zou Yi's timid face appeared at the door. When she saw the person following Du Yu clearly, a trace of panic flashed across her face.
