After listening to Song Wen's words, everyone in the office was digesting the news.
Old Jia said, "Oh, what did I just say? It's just borrowing a corpse to bring back the soul."
Zhu Xiao glared at him, "What Song Team said to you means two things at all."
The corpse lying on the autopsy table is actually a person who died seven months ago. In today's society where various procedures are complete, no matter who encounters it, it will feel a bit bizarre.
But at the same time, the information can help them solve the case, and it can also cover up the truth. Big data systems can count data, yes, but a lot of this data is human input or manipulative, so there is the possibility of error.
Zhu Xiao asked: "To bring a corpse back to life, you must first have a corpse. Who was the person who was cremated before?"
Song Wen took another look: "According to the records in the system, the deceased was reported to have died at home, and the forensic medical examination at the police station of the sub-bureau confirmed that the cause of death was disease, so he went to the health window of the convenience service center and issued a "Death" Afterwards, the family members used the deceased's ID card and the household registration book to issue the "Resident Death Funeral Certificate". All the procedures were normal. If the person who died at that time was not Chen Yanqiu, then I am afraid it was a mistake by the staff."
In China, for ordinary residents to die of illness, the procedures are not complicated and do not require too much consideration. The main procedure is to need a certificate, that is, the so-called "Medical Certificate of Resident Death", referred to as the death certificate.
The medical certificate of death is not difficult to open, and can be issued by medical and health units, neighborhood committees, and health stations. In the case of an abnormal death, the grass-roots department of public security can issue it.
Even some have been cremated in a hurry, and they can be re-opened with the cremation certificate issued by the funeral department.
Every day, every month, every year, too many people die, and it is impossible to examine each corpse in detail. Generally, if the investigation is correct, it will be released.
The city is relatively strict, and some villages are even more chaotic. A handwritten note can prove a person's death. If such a situation is misused by people with intentions, there will be loopholes.
Song Wen remembered that he had watched an episode of the rule of law program in the past, where an additional cremation certificate was issued for the body of an old man, so a murdered body was cremated. Fortunately, the police discovered this in time.
Lu Siyu looked at the record: "The corpse was in the view of a giant at the time, and its face could not be recognized. After the inspection, it was found that the deceased was seriously ill before his death, and there were various cases. Forensic and staff omissions."
If it wasn't Chen Yanqiu who died seven months ago, who would it be? Does his death have anything to do with Chen Yanqiu? How could Chen Yanqiu be stabbed to death more than a month later and left in that old chemical factory
Song Wen added: "To be on the safe side, let's check it as soon as possible. This Chen Yanqiu seems to have a younger sister? Call her over and ask, and I will ask Lao Lin to review the DNA of the deceased."
Chen Sixue didn't know why the police station suddenly called and asked her if she was free in the afternoon. She asked her to come to the city bureau. She stroked the sunglasses on her face nervously. The glasses were so big that they almost covered half of her face. , plus the hair down to the shoulders, only revealing a small pointed chin.
This is the second time she has officially dealt with the police since she was a child. The last time she found her brother's body, the landlord's aunt called the police...
After Chen Sixue finished her middle shift, she didn't care about eating, so she hurriedly changed into her performance costume and came out of the hotel. She rubbed her slightly stiff fingers and asked the front desk to call a taxi for her. When she got in the car, she heard the driver whimper. , then turned back and asked her: "Little girl, your eyes..."
Chen Sixue knew what the driver thought. She was petite, with a pair of sunglasses on her face, and looked like a minor. In such a situation, her eyes looked sick. But if there is a problem with the eyes, how can the family rest assured that such a petite girl will come out alone
She heard that the driver was a middle-aged man, Chen Sixue ignored him, put on his earphones, and pretended to make a phone call: "Yes, brother, I'm in the car, don't worry, it's a regular rental, call the city bureau. On the side, I made an appointment with the other party's policeman. It will take about ten minutes to arrive." Then she put on her sunglasses, put her feet together a little nervously, and said in the direction of the driver: "Master, please go to the city police. Bureau."
The master saw that she was unwilling to answer, and heard that she was going to the police station, so he stopped talking, and the car under him started. Chen Sixue turned her head to the side and looked like she was looking out the window, but she was actually stunned. She didn't know what the police station wanted to do when they suddenly came to her. After thinking about it, it might be about her brother...
After a while, the car stopped, and the master asked, "How do I pay?"
"Alipay."
The master was stunned for a moment, "The payment code is in front, 18 yuan." He was about to hand the payment code to the passenger. Chen Sixue swiped with her mobile phone skillfully, and then heard the notification that 18 yuan was about to be paid. She pressed the fingerprint lock, and heard the voice of successful payment.
The whole movement was extremely smooth, and the master was a little surprised. She didn't know if she really couldn't see, or if she was just wearing sunglasses. When Chen Sixue opened the door, she kindly reminded, "The police station's door is twenty meters in front, on the right. I The car can't go in there anymore."
Chen Sixue thanked her, got out of the car, and with a flick of her hand, it turned into a guide stick for the blind, and walked forward little by little.
The master looked at this before confirming, and said with great regret: "Oh, it turns out that blind people can scan Alipay." Then he sighed again, "Good little girl, she is actually a blind..."
These words were passed to Chen Sixue's ears without any omission, but she had already become accustomed to it.
Chen Sixue skillfully walked to the door of the police station, went up the third steps and explained her identity to the person who came over. Someone immediately led her in and took her to a room. The person who brought her in went out, heard footsteps and then two policemen came in, sitting opposite her.
"Chen Sixue right?"
Chen Sixue nodded.
"Before asking you a question, please verify your identity information."
Chen Sixue nodded again, and then cooperated to answer a few questions.
"Are your eyes invisible?" a policeman next to him asked.
His voice was a little different from the previous one. Sitting in front of her on the right side, he felt clear and deserted. Chen Sixue has been asked this question countless times since she was a child. Some were malicious, some were joking, some were casually asked. She had heard a lot of tones, and she could tell that this person's question was cold though it was cold. , but the voice was soft and not malicious.
"I can't see with my eyes since I was born, I'm used to it." Chen Sixue raised her sunglasses and blinked, "What's the matter with you coming to me today?"
"That's right, we found a man's body in an old chemical factory outside the city last night. After inspection, it was found that this body may be your brother Chen Yanqiu."
"My brother? That's impossible!" Chen Sixue denied it for the first time, she pursed her lips, and then rubbed her hands, as if she didn't want to think about it, "After my brother died... at that time... it was my corpse. And it was with the landlord, and the various procedures that followed were also handled by me."
"Now we are also verifying this result. As a relative of Chen Yanqiu who is now related by blood, are you willing to provide the police with your DNA?" The police asked again.
Chen Sixue thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, let's check."
The policeman on the opposite side went out, and after a while, someone came in and guided Chen Sixue to open her mouth and raise her head, and then something that felt like a cotton swab scraped on her oral mucosa for a while.
"Okay," the man said softly, and the extracted DNA was put into the solution.
"How long does it take to get the results of this test?" Chen Sixue closed her mouth and moved her lower jaw.
"Generally, three or four days." The police officer in charge of the inspection replied to her.
Chen Sixue lowered her head, thinking in her heart, she was silent for a moment, and then asked in a trembling voice, "You guys, will you tell me the result?"
"Of course, if it is confirmed that the deceased is Chen Yanqiu, we will check the omissions in previous work, and we will notify you to claim the body after the verification."
Chen Sixue's left hand trembled slightly, and then pressed it with her right hand. Soon, the person in charge of the inspection went out, the door was closed again, and her head dropped.
"Your brother, is he someone very important to you?" The policeman's voice came again.
"My mother... ran away from home when we were very young. It was many years later that I heard about her death from relatives, my father, who died unexpectedly when I was seventeen. It can be said that , my brother is the closest person I have in this world. In the past few years, we have all come here by each other's lives. "
"I want to ask about your brother's previous situation."
Chen Sixue heard the sound of flipping papers, the police must have done some investigation, but they still needed her retelling.
"My father left some money and a house after his death. Later, my brother and I depended on each other. My brother finished college and I graduated from a school for the blind. Later, my brother started to work, and I played the piano in the hotel. I was born. Until two years ago... My brother was diagnosed with cancer in the unit's physical examination..." Chen Sixue's voice choked, at that time, she almost felt that the sky was falling.
"Afterwards, my brother's condition gradually deteriorated and he was unable to work. He often needed to be hospitalized. In order to treat my brother, my parents' savings were almost spent. We sold the house that my parents left behind, and only performed an operation on my brother, and in order to pay For his medicine money, I took a few jobs and lived in the dormitory provided by the hotel, and my brother rented a basement in a residential area near the hospital."
"Where are your part-time jobs?"
"I play the piano in cafes and hotels... Sometimes I also take up activities such as business openings." Chen Sixue paused and then said, "The state has tax subsidies for the employment of disabled people. I play the piano well, and they They are willing to take care of me."
"How is your relationship with your brother?" Song Wen asked.
"We have a good relationship. The money I work every month, basically leaving my living expenses, is subsidized to my brother."
The police continued to ask: "Then why did you discover his body after so many days after your brother's death?" If what Chen Sixue said before was true, then this is obviously unreasonable. His brother is seriously ill and she is not around. Not to mention the care, how can a relative who is often contacted find the body after a few days
Chen Sixue said: "My brother couldn't sleep well because of his illness, so the phone was always on hands-free, and he often missed my calls before. In addition, I had a lot of activities in those days and was very busy, so I didn't think much about it at first. The next time I tried to contact him, I panicked."
"Why didn't you go directly to him?"
"After all, I can't see with my eyes, so it's not very convenient."
"So it's been so many days for this delay?" the policeman asked again, "If it's a day or two, it's normal, but this time... is too long."
Chen Sixue did not speak, bowed her head and acquiesced.
The interrogation continued: "How big is the basement that your brother rents? Is it your brother alone?"
"There are two rooms in the basement, there is a bathroom, and there is no kitchen. Sometimes there are short-term rentals for his patients there. After all, it is the closest place to the hospital. Even if the environment is worse, it is better to run back and forth."
Chen Sixue remembered that every time she passed by, she could smell that there was a musty smell in the room, and there was a... He was there to die. Thinking of this, Chen Sixue's hands were twisted together again.
"Before your brother died, did you know the person who shared the apartment with him?"
"Some patients shared a lease with him, and many of them lived temporarily. Later... There was a man named Zhang Rui, who had a good relationship with my brother and lived with him for a long time." Chen Sixue said truthfully, She knew the police would soon find those too.
"How much do you know about your brother's roommate?"
"That person, I can't see, I haven't seen him before. He is about the same age as my brother. The family is from the countryside, and he has a younger brother, so his parents don't really want to pay for him to see a doctor. He is... sicker than my brother. Some of them are about to die. My brother was probably sympathetic. At that time, I was very sympathetic to him and gave him half the rent, and sometimes gave him his own medicine. Later, he couldn't even pay the rent, my brother I didn't drive him away either... Later, I heard from my brother that Zhang Rui couldn't take it any longer in the city, so he left."
"Later, when you found out that your brother was dead, who called the police?"
"At that time, because it was almost New Year's Day, I sent a text message to my brother to ask him if he wanted to celebrate the New Year together, but he didn't answer me. Later, I called him again and the phone was turned off. I was a little anxious, my brother left it for me. After checking the landlord's contact information, I called the landlord and went to the basement. As soon as I opened the door... I smelled a stench..." Chen Sixue lowered her head as she spoke, "The landlord said that my brother was lying on the bed and looked dead. Been in the basement for days...the landlord called the police..."
"I'm sorry to say that, but... can you be sure that the body belongs to your brother?"
"The corpse was lying on my brother's bed, wearing my brother's clothes. My brother's mobile phone, wallet, keys, and ID cards were all in the usual place. At that time, the landlord and I both confirmed that it was my brother, and the forensic doctor also examined it." It's a normal death." Chen Sixue's lips trembled as she spoke, losing her only relative was undoubtedly a huge blow to her, her brother used to be her dependent relative. After the death of her brother, the sky and the earth are huge, but she is only herself, alone...
Chen Sixue raised her head, then immediately lowered her head, frowned slightly, lowered her head and bit her lip, stabilized her mood, and continued: "The landlord aunt is very good, although she keeps saying bad luck, but she still helped me a lot, helped me clean up. I took my brother’s belongings and helped him collect the corpse together. At that time, after seeing the medical records, the people who checked the scene at the Public Security Bureau thought it was a death, and they issued a death certificate. The corpse was cremated two days later, and everything was done according to the rules.”
"What about his roommate Zhang Rui? Have you been in touch?"
"After my brother died, I once sent a group text message to my brother's friends. At that time, he returned to me." Chen Guanjing recalled.
"What did he say?"
Chen Sixue recalled: "He said that he had returned to his hometown a week ago, expressed regret for my brother's death, thanked us for taking care of him all the time, and finally let me mourn." She took out her mobile phone, fumbled, and someone answered I came over with her mobile phone, checked the text message, and returned it to her after a while.
"Has your brother ever had any friction with anyone or something?"
"My brother... He has a good personality and has always been kind to people, and he has never offended anyone."
"Then who is he mainly with?"
"Probably those doctors, nurses and patients? And those patients? Later, after he fell ill, we didn't communicate much, and I only went to see him on weekends." Chen Sixue lowered her head as she spoke, she stammered "So what's the situation now? That is to say, you suspect that the person who died in the basement at that time was not the elder brother at all? And the person who died now is the elder brother?"
She hesitated for a while and continued to ask, "Then my brother, maybe he didn't die of illness, but was murdered?"
"The case is still under investigation, and we are only learning about the situation, and there is no substantial evidence yet." The two police officers on the opposite side seemed to whisper for a while, and then a police officer said: "We have already understood what you said, thank you With your cooperation, we have no problem for the time being, and if there is news to contact you later, we will wait for someone to send you out."
"If you have news, you must contact me as soon as possible..." Chen Sixue said and stood up. When she walked to the door, there seemed to be a box on the ground. The guide stick in her hand panicked for a while and almost fell, and suddenly a hand Pulled her.
"Thank you..." Chen Sixue hurriedly stood up.
"Be safe." A voice came from beside her.
That voice, Chen Sixue recognized, belonged to the young policeman, but just now it was mainly another policeman who was questioning, and he didn't say much.
Chen Sixue walked all the way out, the fresh air came on her face, she was about to reach the door, and she took a deep breath unconsciously. At this moment, she was suddenly pulled and entered a room next to her.
At that moment, Chen Sixue was caught off guard by this sudden situation, and cried out "ah". Then she reacted, this is the police station, and she will never be kidnapped in the police station.
The other party turned on the light. There were two people standing in the room, the two police officers who had interrogated her just now. The gentle and fair one was standing inside the room, and the other was standing at the door, blocking her escape route.
"You... what are you doing?" Chen Sixue lowered her head and asked in a low voice.
"I hope you can tell us the truth, so that I can find out the real cause of your brother's death." The policeman standing at the door spoke first.
"The truth? What I said just now is the truth..." Chen Sixue said, but her voice trembled involuntarily.
The policeman who asked the question directly pointed it out: "Can you see it? Maybe you couldn't see it before, but at least you can see it now."
"Officer, what are you talking about?" Chen Sixue took a step back. She wanted to leave the room, but the way back was blocked.
The young policeman at the door turned his head and said, "First of all, when I was inquiring just now, I found out that your eyes respond to the lights in the interrogation room. So, my partner and I discussed it and put it at the door. An empty express box to test you. You have a guide stick in your hand. As a person who has been blind for 20 years, you should be able to determine the correct direction of the door. The location of the box we put is not at the front door. And on the side of the door, as we all saw just now, you went straight to the box and almost tripped over. Because you were pretending that you couldn't see, it felt more realistic when you bumped into it, but it turned out to be a flaw. Yes, I dragged you into this room, if you can't see it, why do you ask what 'we' are going to do?"
Chen Sixue's secret was exposed, her eyes behind the sunglasses blinked, her face paled, she shrank in the corner for a while, bowed her head and said nothing, she was already small, so she looked even more pitiful.
The policeman's tone softened: "Don't be nervous, we just want to understand the situation and find the person who killed your brother." Then he looked at Chen Sixue with sharp eyes, "Of course, the premise is that you cooperate with our work, you If you continue to say that your eyes are still invisible, we don't mind going to an ophthalmologist for a test."
"Okay, I can see with my eyes, but I didn't lie about other things..." Chen Sixue lowered her head guiltily as she spoke.
"We are trying to solve the case as soon as possible, so there is no need to waste everyone's time with lies." Another cold and handsome young police officer finally said, "During the interrogation just now, you did express your doubts about the newly discovered corpse and also expressed your right. Brother's concern... but you have asked one less question."
"What...what problem..." Chen Sixue stammered.
The man looked into her eyes and his voice was quiet: "Who died in the basement?"
Then the young policeman raised his head and looked at the girl, those eyes were lit by the lights in the house, as if there was water in them, his chin nodded and blinked slightly, his eyelids rolled slightly. After coming down, he suddenly raised his long eyelashes, his eyes flashed like stars: "As a young girl, you went to the basement to collect a body, even if you were accompanied by the landlord, this is still the case. The most terrifying experience, even if you can't see it, the smell of the corpse, the experience of near death, can still be unforgettable for a lifetime, but why don't you care if it wasn't your brother, who died?"
Unless she said she knew something.
For example, she had long been sure that the person who died was Zhang Rui.
