This is a grand event that will only happen once every five years. In order to watch the fireworks show, hundreds of thousands of people will gather in the open space in front of the Lunjiang River.
With so many people standing together, stampede accidents are prone to occur, and it is also a period of high incidence of theft, and it is easy for children to get lost.
In order to maintain the order of the scene, the relevant personnel in the city bureau branch and the police stations have long been on guard, as if facing the enemy.
The seven-day long vacation is undoubtedly something that office workers look forward to. But as a policeman, they are not as lucky as ordinary people. The traffic police have to maintain traffic, the film police have to strengthen their patrols, and they have to catch thieves everywhere. Even the anti-pornography and anti-drug operations are a bit more busy than usual.
The only thing better at this time is the criminal police. They need to be busy when there are dead people. If there are no dead people, then they can enjoy a vacation.
But it seems, things backfired. This is a big holiday, but there is still a murder.
When Song Wen and Lu Siyu left the theater, the detailed address was also sent, Hongfang Street, Lianhua Mingyue Building, which is a famous Cantonese restaurant in Nancheng. The consumption here is very high, and it is usually difficult to book a place, let alone It's holiday time.
Song Wen and Lu Siyu took the bags and walked out of the theater. Song Wen went to throw away the popcorn bucket and drink cup, washed his hands, and prepared to start work later. When the two walked out of the theater, it was already completely dark.
At this time, the number of people on the road has obviously increased, and the flow of people began to gather towards the banks of the Lun River. Song Wen and Lu Siyu were squeezed into the flow of people. After a while, they saw the iconic full moon and white giant in the Lianhua Mingyue Building. Lotus, a few words are displayed on the electronic screen next to it, and they keep flashing - "Closed for business".
Lianhua Mingyue Building is a well-known chain restaurant. This one is their main store in Nancheng. It is five-storey high and focuses on the combination of ancient and modern. The dishes of his family also add some modern ideas on the basis of ancient recipes.
The main store is famous for the sign of the huge full moon and line drawing lotus, which can be seen across several intersections.
The representative dish is the famous lotus feast. Every year when the lotus blooms, the supply is limited, and the freshest raw materials are picked to make various delicious dishes with lotus seeds, lotus pods, lotus flowers, lotus leaves and lotus roots.
Song Wen and Lu Siyu walked over, and on the walking path not far from the hotel entrance, they saw a pool of dried blood. It was only a short time away from the incident. The blood had been trampled everywhere, and it was difficult to Determine the location. Those who came later did not know that a murder had just happened here.
Lu Siyu squatted down and frowned slightly. There are many people on the street now. It seems that the police and store owners who came here don't want the corpse to be placed at the door, so they moved it directly.
He understands this kind of behavior very well. At this time, there is a dead person on the road, which can easily cause onlookers and stampede accidents. However, in this first scene, all the information left behind was destroyed like this...
Those dried bloodstains were stepped on by people's footprints so that their original shape could no longer be seen.
Song Wen raised his head and looked up. This is the most prosperous neighborhood in Nancheng. The Lianhua Mingyue Building is located at the corner of the crossroads. It reflects the depression that sets off this place into a modern society.
The windows on this side of Mingyue Building have guardrails, but there is a large open-air platform on the fifth floor.
The building of the restaurant is on the high side, it is said to be the fifth floor, and it is also about 20 meters above the ground, which is equivalent to the seventh or eighth floor of a normal house.
The deceased seemed to have fallen from the platform, Song Wen patted Lu Siyu and said, "Let's go, it's almost destroyed outside, go in and have a look."
The two knocked on the door of Lianhua Mingyue Building, and there were already small policemen inside.
Ordinary guests have been dismissed. At this time, the entire hall on the first floor is empty, the table is full of cold scraps that have not been cleaned up, and there is a smell of Buddha jumping over the wall in the air.
The boss in charge here is a man in his 40s. At this time, he is still calm, but his face is sad. It must be because the business closure has affected the business, and he is worried that there will be fewer customers in the future.
When the boss saw the two coming in, he came over: "The two police comrades are from the city bureau? There were too many people outside just now. We had no choice, so we carried the corpses in from the outside..." He pointed to the hall in the hall. In one corner, the body was temporarily placed here, covered with a blood-stained white cloth.
The head waiter on the side also said: "We were busy in the store just now, and suddenly we heard a bang outside, and someone screamed that someone had fallen from upstairs. Then a few people ran downstairs, all with this woman. We hurriedly called the police when we were having dinner together, shouting 'teacher' or something."
Song Wen asked, "Did any witnesses see how she fell?"
The store manager shook his head: "No one saw it. The guest who fell from the room on the fifth floor near the platform was a group of people who came to party together. Our platform is for customers to smoke or chat. It is open all the year round. Recently, the weather is cold, and there are not many people going up. The guardrails and security of the platform are all up to the standard, and we did not expect that someone would fall from it. "
At that time, the people around were extremely frightened, and no one forgot to look up at the platform... So, there were no witnesses.
Song Wen asked again, "What about monitoring?"
The little policeman on the side said, "We all watched it just now. That angle is the dead end of the surveillance."
It seems that this falling incident is not easy to determine immediately.
The police deduced the cause of death from the fall, and the location of the corpse was an important factor, but now, the corpse has been moved, leaving only a pool of vaguely trampled blood. Due to the lack of reference, the error is large.
That is, they couldn't tell how the body fell by the parabola and where it landed.
Lu Siyu walked over, put on the gloves he was carrying with him, and lifted the white cloth on the corpse. The corpse was lying on his stomach, probably moving in in the same way he fell from the building, without turning it over.
The deceased was a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her forties, her eyes were slightly open, and her death was very tragic.
The white cloth was lifted, and the waitresses on the side retreated in fear.
Song Wen said to Lu Siyu, "Lao Lin and the others are not around tonight, so it is estimated that you will have to work hard."
"It's not hard work." Lu Siyu said, crouched down and looked closely. When he approached the corpse, his white face had a focused look, and that look was different from Lin Xiuran's professionalism. His eyes swept over, as if That's the interesting stuff in the world.
Lu Siyu first smelled the smell of blood, which was mixed with a strong smell of alcohol. The woman put on light makeup, which had already been used up. The foundation was sticking to her face piece by piece, and the lipstick was long gone. come out. The woman's hair is very long, permed, and a little messy. There are some white hair in the black hair, which may be because of blood, and it is a little wet at this time.
Lu Siyu frowned slightly, stretched out his hand and stroked the corpse's hair through his gloves, and then put it under his nose to smell it. The hair smelled of wine and a bit of creamy cake.
Then Lu Siyu touched it carefully, starting from the head of the corpse.
The female corpse's eyes were half-open, because she was getting older and her metabolism slowed down. Those eyes were fish blisters, and they were still a little red at this time. Lu Siyu flipped it with his gloves, and you could see that there was blood in the eyes. There was bleeding from her forehead and nose, and the blood around her mouth stained her chin red. Looking closely, there were some tiny blood foam beside her mouth. There seemed to be some red marks on her cheeks, whether it was scratches with the ground.
Lu Siyu touched the body of the deceased with his hand. The temperature had begun to drop, but it was still warm.
It's a pity that there is no exploration box at hand, so we can't test the rectal temperature, but according to the time of the alarm, they can presume the time of falling and dying between 6:40 and 50.
It is now more than seven o'clock, and the corpse has formed. It is obvious that multiple fractures can be felt, and they are all on the left side, such as the wrist of the left hand, the shoulder, and the tibia of the left leg. From this, it can be judged that the corpse is on the left side. , in line with the characteristics of falling buildings.
Then Lu Siyu greeted Song Wen to help him turn the corpse over. Looking at it like this, there were more water stains on the corpse, there was blood, some alcohol, water, and maybe some sweat, a thin layer, soaked Clothes of the dead. At the position of the left rib, Lu Siyu obviously felt several fractures.
The superficial examination was almost done, Lu Siyu raised his beautiful eyes, and his eyelashes were clearly illuminated by the ceiling lights of the hotel: "The injuries are serious outside and inside, and most of them are unilateral. The cause of death may be a broken rib that pierced the lungs. And the heart, causing the deceased to die on the spot, with obvious fall injuries on his body, at least it can be determined that the deceased fell alive. Other estimates will have to wait for an autopsy, and check whether there is any abnormality in the blood. "
This means that it is not a corpse that falls, but a living person.
After saying these words, Lu Siyu turned over the deceased's pocket again. There was no mobile phone and no keys in it. It seemed that her personal belongings had been placed elsewhere. Finally, his eyes fell on the deceased's hands. His hand clenched an empty fist. Because of the corpse, it was very difficult to open it. Lu Siyu looked carefully, confirmed that there was nothing in it, and gave up.
"There are only three situations. She jumped off the building by herself, accidentally fell to her death, or someone pushed her down." Song Wen turned around and asked the little policeman, "Was there anything unusual around at that time?"
The film policeman introduced to Song Wen: "Because there is a fireworks show at night, this area is a key protection area. We happened to be patrolling nearby and arrived at the scene in two minutes. At that time, there were already many people watching, we were afraid The corpse caused a commotion on the road, and after taking a few pictures of the scene, I asked my superiors to bring the corpse in."
Song Wendao: "Send the photo to us to see. Are all the guests there?"
The little policeman nodded and sent the photo on his phone.
Lu Siyu came over to have a look. Due to the limited equipment, time, and technology, the photos were not very clear, there was no ruler, and the angle was very single, so the reference value was not very big.
The little policeman continued: "Just now, we and the clerk asked the rest of the unrelated customers to register and leave the store. The tablemates of the deceased were all detained. There were five people, and one was not released."
Song Wen asked again, "Is the identity of the deceased determined?"
"The deceased's name was Zhang Dongmei, a math teacher in Nancheng No. 1 Middle School. She seems to be a well-known gold medal teacher in the city. We went up and asked briefly. Several of the students at the same table were her students. Zhang Dongmei used to be a teacher. Their junior high school homeroom teacher, after graduating ten years, came back for a party, this is a thank you feast."
After hearing this, Lu Siyu, who was squatting to check the corpse, raised his head.
"Thank you for the banquet?" Song Wen also gently repeated.
Xie Shiyan, the teacher who was supposed to be the protagonist fell from a height. Is this suicide, accident or murder
