Striving for Science - Chapter 48

When Shen Changan rushed to the place where Director Du said, there were already some old ladies watching the lively surroundings. When he crossed the cordon, he heard that the uncle was discussing the dead in the house.

“This old Litou is also really pitiful. The only child passed away more than ten years ago. Everyone around him took care of him. No one was found dead.”

“Alas, it was still the police who came to the house and found that something was wrong.”

“Fortunately, it’s winter, in case it’s summer, if there is no one in the house for a few days, wouldn’t it smell?”

“Say a few words, in case someone is unhappy, be careful to come to you in the middle of the night.”

“Yuck, shit, nonsense, I haven’t hurt him.”

Shen Changan glanced back at these lively people. Their emotions were very complicated, both fear of death and indifference to life, and a sense of superiority that saw others so miserable and seemed to be able to survive. .

The deceased’s house was on the first floor. Shen Changan walked to the door and saw that there were police and forensic doctors in the house, so he didn’t go in to disturb their work.

“The time of death was about nine o’clock the night before.” The forensic doctor put away the tools and turned to Yao Huailin who was guarding the house. “Captain Yao, judging from the dead body, the dead person should have died of a heart attack. There is no trace of human injury. ”

“It’s hard work.” Yao Huailin sighed and waved his colleagues to put the body of the deceased in the body bag. Although Wuming City is not big, it is not unusual for such lonely old people to die silently because they are left unattended.

There is a group photo of a family of three in this house, but there is only one trace of life. It can be seen that the deceased has lived alone for a long time. Fortunately, the temperature has been low recently, and even if the body of the deceased was found after 30 to 40 hours, there was no obvious corruption.

There are also many carving tools in the house, as well as some exquisitely carved root carvings. He can probably guess why this old man made a living, but died so silently, still made him a little sighed.

I lit the cigarette and took a sip, Yao Huailin suppressed the sympathy in his heart, and the most taboo is to be too emotional. Colleagues carried the body outside, and he reminded in a small voice: “Everyone’s action is lighter, so that the elderly can walk with dignity.”

Spit out the smoke in his mouth, he saw Shen Changan standing outside the door. He took a mask out of his jacket pocket and threw it to Shen Changan, “put on.”

Shen Changan put on a mask and asked, “Can I come in?”

“Come in, it’s not the scene of the murder.” Yao Huailin knew that this happened, and the civil service department also had to build a file into the work system, and he told him about the general situation: “The deceased is 67 years old, male, occupation is root carving. No The wife has no son, and the deceased was found by a community worker. The time of death was around 9:00 the night before yesterday. It was not homicide. ”

Root Carver?

Shen Changan stepped into the door and paused, feeling a bad hunch in his heart. When he saw the picture on the wall, this hunch became a reality.

Standing in this somewhat deserted room, Shen Changan was silent for a moment: “You mean, his death time was around nine o’clock the night before?”

“Yes, like this normal death, there is no external factor interference at the scene, and it is relatively accurate to determine the death time of the deceased.” Yao Huailin saw Shen Changan’s expression differently. “What’s wrong, do you suspect his cause of death?”

“No.” Shen Changan slowly shook his head, looking at a family of three photos hanging on the wall, suddenly felt a little sad. When he saw the shopkeeper the night before yesterday, it was already after ten o’clock in the night. He said that he had already slept, but he thought of the root carving that he owed him, so he hurried over.

It is the shopkeeper’s sincerity or the pursuit of Gendiao that insists on dying to remember what the guest wants and becomes a ghost.

The shop owner told him that even if he could not find the apprentice, did he really put it down, or did he have to put it down because of death?

Shen Changan felt uncomfortable in his heart. He died lonely for the shopkeeper. He also felt uncomfortable because his craft had not been passed down.

He feels like this old man, no relatives and cares, if there is a sudden death in the middle of the night, no one will find out.

“Shen Changan, what’s wrong with you?” Seeing Shen Changan staring at the photos in a daze, Yao Huailin patted his back. “Don’t look, let’s go.”

“Team Yao.” The two just walked to the door, and a police officer walked in front of Yao Huailin. “We visited the store near the shop where the deceased opened. A staff member of a fast food restaurant told me that after ten o’clock the night before yesterday, there was A young man came out of the shop of the dead and bought a glass of milk from him. ”

Yao Huailin saw a glass of milk with a straw in the evidence bag held by the police officer.

“We checked in the shop of the deceased and there were no signs of fighting at the scene, but we found in the bank account of the deceased that at 10:22 that night, a certain amount of money was transferred via WeChat and entered the account of the deceased.”

Yao Huailin felt something was wrong, he quickly asked: “Have you found out who is the person who transferred the money?”

“It’s a man named Shen …”

“It’s me.” Shen Changan sighed and took off the mask. “I bought a root carving in that shop two days ago. Because the root carving still has a little flaw, the boss asked me to wait for the day to get it. The night before yesterday At nearly ten o’clock, I received a call from the boss that the root carving had all been completed. If I was in a hurry, I could go to the store to pick it up that night, so I went. ”

“It’s such a cold day, at ten o’clock in the evening, I ran out to get the root carving?” Yao Huailin didn’t want to doubt Shen Changan at all, but this fact is somewhat unexplainable. “I thought that men can be so positive, only women or for women. gift.”

Speaking of which, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Changan: “It doesn’t look like a man with a girlfriend.”

Shen Changan: “It’s okay to discuss the case, you don’t need a personal attack.”

“Hey, who personally attacked you?” Yao Huailin glanced at the time, “Come on, brother, according to the rules, you have to go with me to the bureau. In addition, this matter involves the issue of the deceased. , May need to sign some procedures, you let your family run for you. ”

Shen Changan, who was about to follow Yao Huailin in the police car, said: “Can anyone else?”

“Of course others can, but in this society, who would like to come to the police station for people without relatives or reasons? Wuming City is such a big place, what happened after a few words, the smaller the place, the more you value your face, you Still find someone you can trust. ”

Shen Changan was silent. He sat in the car without a word, and did not forget to fasten his seat belt.

“Don’t be nervous, let’s not let a bad person go, but we will never injustice a good person. It’s enough to make it clear about routine matters.” Yao Huailin saw him suddenly stop talking, thinking he was worried about entering the police station. “The cause of death of the deceased has been clearly understood by forensic doctors. Don’t worry.”

“I didn’t worry about this.” Shen Changan rubbed his nose and sighed. “I’m worried. I’m a lonely man. I can’t speak for trouble for others.”

Alone?

Yao Huailin suddenly remembered that Shen Changan was a key university talent introduced by the city. The file records about loved ones, but there was nothing. He instantly thought of a possibility. For a time, I regretted that I owed something, and he said anything when he poked at the knife.

Just when Yao Huailin wanted to give himself a mouth, Shen Changan’s cell phone rang.

“Dao Nian?” Shen Changan answered the phone.

“When will you come back?” Daonian looked out the window. “The rain stopped.”

Shen Changan suddenly remembered that he had said in the morning, and when the rain stopped, he said that he would go out and turn around: “I have a little trouble here, and I might not be able to come back at noon.”

“What’s the trouble?” Dao Nian, who was still lazy in a wheelchair, stood up and reached out to try to summon a mirror to see what happened to Shen Changan.

“I … entered the game.”

The hand that called the mirror paused, and Daoian tried to soften his tone as much as possible: “Don’t panic, I will come over immediately.”

“I don’t panic.” Shen Changan, who was still empty in his heart, seemed to be stuffed into a big grapefruit after hearing Daonian “come right away”, sweet and not greasy, and a little sour.

“Well.” Shen Changan rubbed his nose. “I didn’t panic.”

After seeing Shen Changan hang up the phone, Yao Huailin lost all his sadness and loneliness, and replaced it with a bright smiley face with a signboard.

“No, someone came to pick me up.” Shen Changan raised an eyebrow. “If you have any questions, you can start asking in the car and wait for a lot of time.”

“That’s not okay. When we ask questions, we must strictly abide by the rules and regulations.” Yao Huailin wanted to say, someone was happy to pick up something, but thought of Shen Changan’s “lonely family and few people”, he couldn’t say anything ridiculous.

The evidence has been handed over to the relevant department first. Shortly after Shen Changan arrived at the police station, the inspection results came out. Only the fingerprints of Shen Changan and the clerk of the fast food restaurant were on the glass of milk, and no fingerprints of the deceased were left.

In addition, in the roadside monitor near the shop, a scene that puzzled the police was photographed. They saw that at about 9:40 pm, an old man suspected of deceased opened the shop door. After about half an hour, Shen Changan entered the shop, and after entering it, Shen Changan went quickly to the opposite side. The fast food restaurant bought a glass of milk.

It was the milk in the Gendiao shop that no one had touched.

After another few minutes, Shen Changan came out of the store. The light of the Gendiao store went out shortly after he left, but the old man who opened the store door never came out of the store.

“This … is too evil.” The police officer looking at the monitor whispered, “It’s like the deceased specifically waited for him to pick up the goods. When he finished the goods, he wished.”

Although the time when Shen Changan appeared that night was suspicious, except for this, he did not have any motives and doubts about the crime. More importantly, the owner ’s death place was at home, and the cause of death was not homicide, so he did not become a suspect. .

Yao Huailin and Li finished listening to Shen Changan about the causes and consequences, and suddenly remembered that Shen Changan broke into the ghost den in the mountain spring valley and did not know what happened. Looking into Shen Changan’s eyes, he felt some sympathy.

Is this a **** but I don’t know?

Yao Huailin let Shen Changan sign the transcript, and reached out and patted his shoulder: “Dude, you are not easy.” Not only did I see the ghost, I also bought hot milk for the ghost and transferred the money to the tail. Such an occasion is really not an ordinary person. Can be encountered.

“Brigade Li, Team Yao.” A police officer knocked on the door and gave Shen Changan a complicated look. “Mr. Shen’s friend came to pick him up.”

“OK.” Yao Huailin lifted his chin towards Shen Changan. “Come on, you will …”

Let’s meet less ghosts.

Everything was silent, Yao Huailin patted Shen Changan’s shoulder again.

When Shen Changan heard that Daoian had come, he had no intention to guess what Yao Huailin meant. He walked out of the inquiry room and found that many people in the police station were watching him. He touched his face in doubt. Recently the police station caught Are there few suspects, why are you staring at him?

“What’s the matter with you all?” Yao Huailin walked behind Shen Chang’an, and it was somewhat inexplicable to see this scene.

“Team Yao.” A police officer whispered, “You will know when you go out to meet.”

Yao Huailin went out and saw a dozen men in suits squeezing the office, and could not help but yell: “This house full of people, are you going to rob the law court?”

“Comrade Police, you misunderstood. We are Mr. Shen’s team of lawyers and will provide all legal assistance to Mr. Shen wholeheartedly.” A man closest to him pushed the eyes on his nose and smiled with a smile.

“Dao Nian.” Shen Changan glanced through many suit men and fell on Dao Nian behind everyone. Then a wandering, he got to his side.

Dao Qing took his hand lightly and looked at Yao Huailin: “What’s going on?”

The author has something to say: protect the short. Daonian: say, who bullied my human cub?
