"Yes, there is a problem." Xiao Liu said: "Here is a detailed autopsy report and the files of the year. I found them for you. You can take a look."
As he spoke, Xiao Liu handed us the autopsy report. I spread out a few pages on the table for all to see. Judging from the autopsy report, Zhou Guo's mother's death was due to acute gastric perforation, and the concurrent causes of death included duodenal perforation, gastric bleeding and so on.
During the autopsy, the forensic doctor found a small amount of rice and a large amount of soybeans in her stomach. It was initially inferred that a large amount of boiling soybeans was used, which caused gastric perforation. Gastric juices corrode parts of the organs, a painful and lengthy death process.
The health organization divides the pain into five levels, and this pain should belong to the fourth level of severe pain. I don't know how Zhou Guo's mother endured this pain. Just thinking about it makes my stomach hurt. The death process lasted for about an hour, and then I died in pain.
The archives also attached a photo at that time. From the photo, Zhou Guo's mother's expression was distorted, and her facial features were all gathered together, which looked very painful. The whole person is in a curled up state, coupled with hemiplegia, there is an indescribably weird feeling.
This is the photo before the autopsy, and the next few photos are the photos during the autopsy. I can only see her stomach is in a mess, and I don’t understand what a normal person’s stomach should look like.
Gu Chen and I turned back to look at Guan Zengbin at the same time. Guan Zengbin shrugged and said, "The autopsy report is very accurate. We can clearly see some small holes connected together in the stomach. Stomach acid flowed out from here, corroding the rest of the body." organ."
Guan Zengbin continued: "It should be suicide, unless someone forced her to eat. The human mouth, esophagus and stomach can only tolerate a temperature of 50 to 60 degrees Celsius, and the internal temperature of cooked soybeans is very high. Sometimes it's okay to have rice wrapped in it, but after eating..."
Gu Chen frowned, and said to me: "Didn't you just say that there is a problem, what is the problem?"
I pulled my hair with my hands and said: "We have all been to Zhou Guo's house. Judging from the situation at home, there is no stove in the back room. Zhou Guo's mother is hemiplegic, unable to move at all, and can only lie down. Moves on the bed with one hand. So, how on earth does she make soybeans and rice?"
Gu Chen and Guan Zengbin's eyes lit up, knowing what I wanted to say.
Guan Zengbin said: "You mean, just like other people's cases, someone provided tools and methods to commit suicide?"
I nodded seriously, and said slowly, "I think it looks like this."
Gu Chen couldn't believe it and said, "But Zhou Guohui persuaded his mother to commit suicide?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, Gu Chen said in surprise: "You mean, there are other people?"
"That's right, if Zhou Guo's mother was the first to die, then I don't think Zhou Guo was the first to do this, but someone else." I looked at the file and said: "This file According to the report, when the neighbors found Zhou Guo's mother, it was close to five o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, Zhou Guo was in class, but there was a person... "
I tapped the table lightly with my fingers, if it's this person, then I have to meet another person.
An hour later, I sat in front of this man. This person is none other than Zhang Dequan, who was taken away not long ago. Zhang Dequan is not easy to see now, and it was Team Leader Shao who helped me open this door. And I only have one hour to talk to him, and then he has the rest of the investigation.
"Zhang Xue's mother, can you talk about it, this is related to your daughter's future..." I said softly.
Zhang Dequan looked at me for a full five minutes, his lips moved slightly, as if he was considering whether to speak or not. After a long time, he said, "Can I have a cigarette?"
I nodded and handed him a lit cigarette. Usually at this time, the suspect's act of asking for cigarettes means that he has decided to continue talking. Smoking can calm the mood and relieve anxiety, and it also means that the suspect has let go of all guards.
Zhang Dequan took the cigarette and took a deep sip.
"Just ask if you have any questions. Anyway, if you do this kind of thing, I guess I'll be in it for the rest of my life." Zhang Dequan looked at me with cloudy eyes, but there was a sense of relief in his eyes: "It's a crime, really. It's a crime, but I don't know who will take care of my daughter after I go in, although I did such a thing, but she is my daughter after all."
Now that such a thing has been done, what is the use of repenting
I also lit a cigarette and said, "Then tell me your wife's story."
"My wife..." Zhang Dequan murmured.
About twenty years ago, Zhang Dequan's home was on the sea at that time. He looked at the endless sea and didn't know where his home was. Zhang Dequan had been at sea for many years, he didn't know where he was from, he didn't know where he came from, he only knew that if he wasn't a sailor, he would have died.
He lives on board, eats on board, and helps the crew every day.
Zhang Dequan stayed on the ship for five years, growing from a fifteen-year-old boy to a twenty-year-old man, from a child laborer to a professional sailor. Once when the ship docked, a girl appeared near the pier. She is a little girl who sells seafood, and she is also the person Zhang Dequan fell in love with at the first sight.
The sea breeze blows into the hearts of Seafood Girl and Zhang Dequan. Which boy is not passionate, which girl is not Huaichun. Zhang Dequan's salary was neither too much nor too little. That day, Zhang Dequan spent all his money on seafood. Knowing Zhang Dequan's actions, the crew members on the boat burst out laughing, what do you want to eat, isn't it all on the boat, and you still need to buy it
The crew laughed at Zhang Dequan for not knowing how to save money, and Zhang Dequan laughed at them for not knowing how to love.
After the ship docked at the pier three times, Zhang Dequan stayed. This time Zhang Dequan looked at the endless sea, and finally had a destination in his heart. They got married soon, and Zhang Dequan knew what he was capable of. If he didn't become a crew member, he wouldn't know anything.
He decided to study by himself while working part-time. Fortunately, his savings from being a seaman for five years allowed him to persevere. He was admitted to a junior college, completed his studies, and began to prepare for the civil service examination. But this preparation lasted for five years. Because Zhang Dequan's wife was ill, and it was a very serious illness.
His wife could only rely on dialysis to survive. At that time, Zhang Xue was two years old.
His wife understands that if things go on like this, she will be a burden to the family. So, for the first time, his wife prepares to commit suicide.
After Zhang Dequan went out to work, his wife cut his wrist with a fruit knife. But the force was too weak, and the artery was not even cut off. She watched the blood flow and flow, and she slowly fell asleep. Zhang Dequan came back, he saw all this, he was stunned.
But fortunately, his wife was fine, but left a permanent scar on her wrist.
His wife wept bitterly, and cried bitterly because she was not dead.
For the second suicide, his wife chose to commit suicide by poisoning with liquefied petroleum gas. At that time, the house used canned liquefied petroleum gas, and she struggled to unscrew the bottle of liquefied petroleum gas, and closed the doors and windows. Wait and wait, nothing happened. It turned out that there was not much liquefied petroleum gas left in her house, and if it was mixed in the air, it would not even cause people to be poisoned.
This time, Zhang Dequan didn't know.
She tried to touch the switch, but it tripped and the fuse was blown. She wanted to hang herself, but she didn't have the strength to throw the rope onto the beam of the house. She also thought about jumping off the building, but she lived in a bungalow. If she didn't die on the spot, she would aggravate her husband's pain after being sent to the hospital. burden.
She never thought that committing suicide would be such a difficult thing. If a person can't even control her own life, what else can she do? She felt that all of this seemed like God was playing a joke on her. She was seriously ill and was tortured every day in a medicine jar, but if she wanted to die, God couldn't do what she wanted.
But finally one time, she found a chance.
At that time, she already had to live in the hospital. She lay on the hospital bed all day, looking up at the ceiling, day after day. Once, she was the only patient in the ward. She took out a needle and gently inserted it into her own blood vessel. Watching the nurse give himself an injection every day, no matter how stupid a person is, he can learn it.
But there was nothing in the needle, only air. Air, something that humans cannot do without, but under certain effects, it is also the most deadly thing. She slowly injected air into her vein, one needle, two needles. She endured the pain and died in great pain.
In doctor's terms, air enters the blood vessel forming an air embolism. The blood flowing into the heart became foamy, seriously blocking the blood circulation throughout the body. Difficulty in blood circulation and insufficient oxygen delivery. Difficulty in breathing, and then a painful death from lack of oxygen to the organs.
This process lasted for a few minutes, but it was also the most painful and lengthy few minutes.
When the doctor found her, she was dead.
The hospital naturally lost money, but after losing the money, Zhang Dequan had no way to get his wife back. Zhang Dequan knew why his wife died, because he was poor, because he couldn't afford the huge medical expenses, and because he had to raise his daughter.
Grief turned into anger in Zhang Dequan's heart. He wanted to change his life and his class.
But when everything went smoothly, on the night when Zhang Xue was twelve years old, the anger in Zhang Dequan's heart dissipated. He didn't understand why he persisted for so long. He thought of his wife. He wanted to cry and go crazy, but he didn't in the end.
When looking at his daughter, Zhang Dequan knew that his life was over.
