[Death of a Lawyer 07]
After Jiang Pingce received the news, he immediately informed Lin Wei, the captain of the criminal police.
Team Lin called a few people to come to the Xinghe Building again, Lan Yarong explained, "When Manluo and I went to the toilet together just now, I found that a door in the women's toilet was open, and the phone was on the tissue holder next to it. I asked. In a circle, none of the colleagues in the law firm lost their mobile phones, we suspected that it belonged to Lawyer Zhou, so we called the police."
Lin Wei took the mobile phone and asked the people in the technical department to unlock it as soon as possible. He himself went to the women's toilet to find the cell phone compartment, and asked his colleagues to collect on-site evidence. There were a few balls of paper in the trash can, there were some strange liquid traces on the ground, and a lot of fingerprints were collected on the walls, which had to be brought back for identification.
Yue Xingwen did not show up from beginning to end, and the matter of handing over the mobile phone was handled by Senior Sister Lan and Senior Sister Lin. At this time, Yue Xingwen was watching the surveillance with Zhuo Feng and Zhang Xiaonian in the Jiayuan Community of Jinzuo.
Zhang Xiaonian, the owner of the community, went to the property to check last night's surveillance on the grounds that "my dog was lost".
Zhuo Feng's identity is a property employee, responsible for the maintenance of water and electricity in the community. He happened to be on duty last night, so he could easily bring Zhang Xiaonian and Yue Xingwen to the property monitoring.
The three of them sat in the monitoring room, and Yue Xing said, "Let's start watching at half past six last night."
At 6:30 last night, lawyer Zhou Ziyang and Yue Xingwen took the same elevator downstairs from the Xinghe Building. His home is in the Jinzuo community opposite the Xinghe Building. If he goes home on time, he will soon appear in the monitoring of the community.
Zhuo Feng turned on monitoring. At 18:35 in the evening, Zhou Ziyang was photographed at the gate of the community. At about 18:40, Zhou Ziyang appeared at the door of Unit 1, Building A. The man was carrying a briefcase, wearing a suit and leather shoes, with a smile on his face, and said hello to the neighbors he met in the hall. Then he took the elevator No. 1 to the 33rd floor of the top floor, and unlocked the room with his fingerprints at the door of Room 33-03.
He got off work at 18:30 and came home at 18:40. It seems that he crossed the road directly after get off work and went home without going anywhere else.
Yue Xingwen said: "Continue to see what time Liu Lan will be back."
The three of them stared at the surveillance camera together. At 19:00, Liu Lan came home with a 7-year-old boy. The boy was very excited. He was carrying a box of toys, which should have been bought for him by Liu Lan. People chatting and laughing entered door 33-01. Although the family of three lived on the same floor, they were in different rooms.
As for what happened after they returned home, no one knows. At around 21:30 in the evening, a man came out of the room at 33-03. It was Zhou Ziyang who had changed into a black sports suit. At this time, he was carrying a black suitcase in his hand.
Zhuo Feng paused and zoomed in on the screen, Yue Xingwen took a closer look, and said, "It's the same as when he died, his suitcase should be full of cash now."
Zhang Xiaonian said: "That is to say, he took the cash from home?"
Yue Xingwen said: "Well, if you go to the bank, the bank will be out of get off work at this time. It means that he left a lot of cash at home in advance and brought it out suddenly last night."
Zhuo Feng followed and monitored all the way, and found that the time when Zhou Ziyang dragged his suitcase out of the gate of the community was 21:45.
Yue Xingwen looked at the monitoring time thoughtfully, and analyzed: "He left the community at 21:45 last night, and appeared in the monitoring of Xinghe Building at 21:50. From the time point of view, he should have passed by immediately after leaving the community. I left the road and came to the Galaxy Building, but I didn't go anywhere else."
Zhang Xiaonian wondered: "Didn't Senior Brother Xin Yan say that the autopsy found that he drank a lot of alcohol and ate beef before he died, but he still hasn't digested it? I thought he dated and ate with his lover, and then went back to the building to have an affair. ."
Yue Xingwen said: "From the monitoring point of view, he didn't have time to go out to eat with Chen Yueqin, maybe he ate at the Xinghe Building."
Zhuo Feng said, "Why did he suddenly bring so much cash to the Xinghe Building?"
Yue Xingwen frowned and thought about it, and said, "There are three possibilities, one is that he secretly hides the cash, transfers the joint property of the husband and wife, and can give Liu Lan less when they divorce; second, he is threatened. , needs a cash transaction to stop the mouth of the person who threatens him; third, this money is illegal income from someone who gave him bribes. He took the cash to the office and hid it in the storage room, probably intending to find an opportunity to put it again. The money becomes legal income."
Zhuo Feng and Zhang Xiaonian looked at each other and agreed with Xingwen's analysis. Whether he took out the money himself or someone else bribed him, we won't know until the results from the bank come out.
The three continued to stare at the surveillance. At around 10 p.m., Liu Lan went downstairs once. She changed into loose home clothes and carried a bag of garbage, including a toy box bought for her son. After she threw away the garbage at the door of the unit, she went back again, and the surveillance tracked her until she opened the door of room 01 on the 33rd floor.
She didn't go out again until 12:00 in the morning.
Yue Xingwen said: "When Zhou Ziyang died last night, she never went downstairs and had no time to commit the crime."
Zhuo Feng analyzed: "The relationship between her and her son seems to be very good. The mother and son are talking and laughing. If she kills Zhou Ziyang herself, her son's life will be ruined in the future. Mom kills dad. This kind of blow is a small blow. There's absolutely no way a child can take it. So, if she's still sane, I don't think she'll do crazy things like murder."
Yue Xingwen looked at the thin back of the woman in the surveillance camera and said, "Liu Lan is the one with the most motive for committing the crime. Zhou Ziyang cheated, and the two could divorce at any time. As a lawyer, Zhou Ziyang is proficient in marriage law. If you can't get a house or child custody, you will have nothing. On the contrary, when Zhou Ziyang died, all the real estate and cash under his name will be inherited by her and her son. She is the person who will benefit the most after Zhou Ziyang's death. , but she does have an alibi... Could it be that she didn't do it herself, but she guided it all?"
Zhuo Feng touched his chin and said, "Is it the mastermind behind the scenes?"
Yue Xingwen said: "I have a feeling that this woman still has a secret."
Zhang Xiaonian said positively: "The course arranges us to live in Jinzuo Community. Would you like to check all the residents in Jinzuo Community to see if there are any strange people? I live in Building C, maybe there is a problem in Building C?"
Xiao Nian's reminder was exactly what Yue Xingwen thought: "Check it out."
Zhuo Feng quickly called up the household registration form from the property computer. Yue Xingwen accidentally discovered that Qi Zhao and Liu Minghui both lived in Jinzuo Jiayuan.
Qi Zhao had a business conflict with the deceased, and was robbed of a major client by the deceased. He had a dispute with the deceased. He is currently one of the suspects. He lives on the 33rd floor of Building C, just opposite Zhang Xiaonian's house!
Liu Minghui, the owner of Minghui Law Firm, lives on the 33rd floor of Unit 2, Building A. Building A is the king of the community. The downstairs is facing the Fountain Square. The apartment type and view are the best, and the price is of course the most expensive.
They all work in the office building opposite the Galaxy Building, so it is reasonable to buy the house in the nearest residential area. It's a downtown location and home prices are sky-high, but for several well-earned lawyers, buying a home isn't financially stressful.
Zhuo Feng began to check the surveillance of Unit 2 of Building A and Unit 1 of Building C last night, and found that boss Liu Minghui brought his children home at around 7 o'clock last night, but he never went out, but Qi Zhao didn't go home at all last night - Building C's No trace of him was found in the surveillance!
Yue Xingwen remembered that Qi Zhao told the police, "I went home and went to sleep after get off work last night."
He is lying.
Yue Xingwen said: "I'm going to the hospital now to see how the hospital's investigation of Liu Lan is going. You guys continue to stay in the Jinzuo community. The police will definitely come to investigate later."
Zhuo Feng nodded: "Okay, be careful by yourself."
Yue Xingwen took a taxi to the Municipal People's Hospital. Liu Zhaoqing, Xu Yishen and Qin Lu were supposed to rest from the night shift today, but they did not leave in tacit agreement. They met at the flower bed of the hospital. Liu Zhaoqing said in a low voice, "The patient information in the Psychology Department is all available. It is confidential, Qin Lu sneaked in during her lunch break and found Liu Lan's medical records."
Qin Lu took out her mobile phone and showed Yue Xingwen the secretly filmed case records: "She has been suffering from depression for a year and a half, and a year and a half ago, she had an operation for an ectopic pregnancy. According to the analysis of the psychologist, it may be because of the operation. She was traumatized, which led to mild depression. She always wanted to have a second child and a daughter."
Ectopic pregnancy? It seems that she had a good relationship with Zhou Ziyang at that time. She was pregnant with a second child, but unfortunately it was an ectopic pregnancy, and the child was not saved, which caused her depression. Zhou Ziyang cheated a year ago, shortly after his wife's surgery.
Yue Xingwen asked, "Are there any other discoveries?"
Qin Lu said: "We have checked and there is no record of her visits in other departments except the Department of Psychology and Obstetrics and Gynecology. However, she has taken her children to see the pediatric department several times, and they are all suffering from minor illnesses such as colds and fever."
Yue Xingwen texted the results of the investigation to Jiang Pingce and asked about the progress of the police force.
Jiang Pingce quickly replied: "Zhou Ziyang's mobile phone has been unlocked, and three suspicious call records have been found."
"The most recent call was to his wife Liu Lan at 23:30, which is consistent with Liu Lan's recording. Team Lin also went to the community to check the surveillance. Liu Lan's suspicion can be ruled out for the time being."
"The second call was at 21:00. He received a call from his lover, Chen Yueqin. We asked Chen Yueqin. Chen was detained for several hours, and his mental state was a little broken, so he made all the moves. It turned out that yesterday was her birthday, and she hoped that Zhou Zi Yang spent time with her, so he bought cakes, wine, and steaks and other late-night snacks, called Zhou Ziyang, and the two met to have an affair in an office building."
"My colleagues from the field team found discarded cake boxes, wine bottles, and unfinished beef in the public trash can on the 39th floor. The necklace found on the rooftop was a gift from Zhou Ziyang on her birthday last year. When the two made out that night, Zhou Ziyang took off the necklace and put it in his pocket, put on a new one for her, and said that he would give her a new necklace every birthday."
"The place where the two cheated was in the women's toilet. She said that this was Zhou Ziyang's special hobby, and she felt that it was very exciting to be in the women's toilet. The results of the evidence brought back by the colleagues of the identification department for testing also came out, and there was a lot of leftovers in the women's toilet. Zhou Ziyang's and Chen Yueqin's fingerprints, the trash can, and the liquid samples on the ground all detected Zhou Ziyang's genes."
Not to mention cheating, and even going to the women's bathroom with his lover in the middle of the night to make out, Zhou Ziyang's hobby is also special enough. Yue Xingwen asked, "So, the skin and blood in Zhou Ziyang's nails were left when the two of them worked too hard?"
Jiang Pingce: "Theoretically, there are scratches on Chen Yueqin's back. She said it was left behind during the fierceness last night. But these are all Chen Yueqin's words, and the credibility must be compromised."
Yue Xingwen thought for a while and said, "Chen Yueqin's confession matches the current evidence chain. She should not be the murderer, otherwise it would be too simple."
Jiang Pingce agreed: "Well."
On her birthday, Chen Yueqin bought a cake and asked Zhou Ziyang to have an affair. Zhou Ziyang ate beef and drank alcohol, which is consistent with the autopsy results. The trash can also found a birthday cake, proving that she did not lie; The toilet seeks excitement. The semen found in the women's toilet belongs to Zhou Ziyang, and the fingerprints of the two also match.
Chen Yueqin and Zhou Ziyang's intimacy ended at around 23:00. She said that she went back to the 39th floor to sleep after the end. However, Zhou Ziyang did not go back to sleep. Liu Lan received a call from him at 23:30. At that time, he was probably still in the bathroom. He called his wife Liu Lan, and then left his mobile phone on the phone because he was drunk. There
If so, the current evidence can be reasonably explained.
Zhou Ziyang is not a normal person. He just finished making out with his lover, and then called his wife and said, "I'm just playing with her, I still want to go back to you and the children." Both.
Yue Xingwen sent a message and asked: "Three suspicious call records, who is the third?"
Jiang Pingce said: "The call time is around 18:30 in the evening. It should be the call you heard from him in the stairwell. The caller ID is Chen Xueqin, Chen Yueqin's sister."
That is, the client of the "marital divorce case" that Lawyer Zhou once took over. I remember that at that time, lawyer Zhou impatiently said, "If you don't agree, you can appeal." It seems that Chen Xueqin was not satisfied with the verdict of this divorce case.
