The four of them climbed up to the sixth floor lightly all the way. A white seal was pasted on the door of the room on the right. Lu Hui took out the key from his pocket and stuck it into the keyhole. With a slight "click", the door opened. Lu Hui pushed the door open and saw the yellow cordon.
He reached out to raise the cordon, and the four of them entered in a file, carefully avoiding stepping on the yellow signal board standing on the ground. Lu Hui stood in the living room, waving for the other three to scatter to collect clues.
Simple one bedroom and one living room, about forty to fifty square meters of room, it can be seen that the head of the household is struggling. The trash cans are full of takeaway lunch boxes, the buckets of instant noodles are stacked on the coffee table, and the bulky old-fashioned TV is placed in the narrow low cabinet. There is no air conditioner in the house, only an old electric fan stands next to the sofa. The tattered black leather sofa is dusty, let alone cushions and throw pillows.
"Didn't the third team have already checked it?" Qi Zhou went to the kitchen and walked around, barely walking out of the kitchen sideways, "What else are you looking for?"
"Look for the missing things." Lu Hui's gloomy and indifferent eyes flashed two cold lights, his eyes moved from the ceiling to the ground, and glanced at the antifreeze, anti-slip mats behind the door, the trash can in the living room, the coffee table, the instant noodle bucket, and stopped. Entrance on balcony.
Ji Fanyang pushed open the balcony door, the balcony was open-air, unlike other people's outdoor balconies filled with potted plants, the deceased's balcony was bare, only a dusty wicker chair was placed. Ji Fanyang looked back at Lu Hui, who nodded slightly at him before he stepped into the balcony.
There are too few clues on the balcony. There is a wicker chair, and a white plastic vial is tilted under the foot of the wicker chair.
"This is the bottle for sleeping pills." Ji Fanyang said.
"Yeah." Lu Hui stood beside the wicker chair, looking into the distance.
The location of the balcony on the sixth floor is not very good. It is located on the top floor and is exposed to the sun. Especially the temperature has risen these days, and I will get sunburned if I sit on the balcony for a while.
"Group Lu." Rao Feifei pushed open the balcony door. The fair-skinned girl was a little afraid of the scorching sun. She stood on the threshold and did not enter the balcony. "There are food bags with takeaway boxes in the trash can."
"The third team reported that someone came before the deceased committed suicide. It should be brought by a friend who often brought him meals." Ji Fanyang said.
"Put the report aside first, and start checking from the beginning." Lu Hui said.
"The name of the restaurant is printed on the food bag." Rao Feifei said, "Should I look for this restaurant first?"
"Qi Zhou will go with you." Lu Hui ordered, "Try to check carefully."
"Okay." Rao Feifei nodded.
Qi Zhou and Rao Feifei went out, only Lu Hui and Ji Fanyang were left in the room.
"Look for the trace identification of the technical department to collect fingerprints." Lu Hui said, and he glanced at Ji Fanyang.
The young man looked at him in confusion: "I don't know the phone number of the person who identified the trace..."
Lu Hui took out his mobile phone from his pocket and stuffed it to Ji Fanyang: "Let's call."
An old-fashioned flip phone, Ji Fanyang doubted whether this old antique really had the function of making calls. He lifted the cover, found the phone number marked as "trace" in the address book, and dialed: "Hello, I am from Team Seven. Ji Fanyang, um, is a member of the Lu group, we need fingerprint collection, two people are enough, um, the right hand on the sixth floor of Unit X, Building X, Maple Leaf Community, okay, thank you."
After closing the phone, Ji Fanyang handed the old antique back to Lu Hui.
Lu Hui took the phone and put it in his pocket. He walked back to the living room because he was so uncomfortable in the sun. He couldn't touch anything at the scene, and the two of them didn't even have a place to sit, so they could only stand stiffly.
After being silent for a while, when Ji Fanyang was racking his brains to find a topic to break the silence, there was finally a knock on the door.
Opening the door was the trace appraiser. The man at the head was gentle and elegant. He stretched out his hand and said friendlyly, "My name is Shen Pei. As soon as I heard that it was called by the famous Lu Zu, I hurried over to meet Lu Zu."
"Lu Hui." Lu Hui shook hands with Shen Pei with a wooden face, "Long time no see."
"Yeah, long time no see." The gentle man smiled like a fox, "I heard early in the morning that you robbed Team Three's case."
"Oh." Lu Hui replied blankly, "Hurry up, you talk a lot."
Shen Pei quickly opened the suitcase he was carrying: "You can go out now."
The two who were kicked out by Shen Pei stood at the door in silence for a while, then turned and went downstairs.
"Zu Lu knows Shen Pei?" Ji Fanyang asked.
"A dead fox, stay away from him." Lu Hui frowned, "Let's go back to the police station and wait for Rao Feifei and the others."
"Yes." Ji Fanyang followed Lu Hui out of the unit door, and he asked cautiously, "Shall I drive?"
"I'll come." Lu Hui sternly rejected the young man's request.
That's for sure, the new car assigned to him by Gaoju is much more comfortable to drive than his own broken car.
Lu Hui didn't go straight to the police car, but circled around the building twice, and finally found a dusty mini car in a weedy corner.
"There is a bottle of blue antifreeze behind the door of the deceased's house. He should have a car." Lu Hui said. He squatted down to observe the wheels of the vehicle, and flicked the dust accumulated on the wheels with his index finger. The dust choked his face. .
"It seems that it hasn't been opened for a while." Ji Fanyang said.
"The weeds at the front and back have blocked it, not only for a while, maybe it hasn't bloomed for a few months." Lu Hui said, his eyes flashed thoughtfully.
There are too few clues, even Lu Hui has no way to draw a reliable conclusion.
"Let's go." Lu Hui said, opened the police car door and got into the driver's cab, with Ji Fanyang sitting in the co-pilot.
The group that had been working outside for half the morning gathered in his office, and Lu Hui moved a whiteboard for writing.
"The clues we have now - Feifei will tell you what you found first." Lu Hui said.
"We found the store according to the name of the store printed on the food bag. The store is not far from the deceased's house, just two intersections outside the gate of the community." Rao Feifei said, "The store said it was familiar with the person who often came to buy food. , but the specific description is not clear."
"We walked to the intersection and found that there are monitors in every direction at the intersection, so we only need to call the monitor at the intersection to find this relative and friend who often delivers meals." Qi Zhou said.
Lu Hui raised his eyebrows: "That's just right, I'll leave the flipping of the video to you."
Rao Feifei obediently complied, and Qi Zhou looked hopeless.
"Lu Hui!" Chang Hui, the captain of Team Seven, pushed the door open with a serious expression, "Have you found any clues?"
"If you want to remind me, you have to remind me tomorrow. Shen Pei is still collecting traces, and the surveillance video has not been called out. Why, do you think that I have three heads and six arms to solve a case in half a morning?" Lu Hui mocked mercilessly, "Clues But one was found, the deceased had a car, isn't it serious?"
Chang Hui's face turned pale from Lu Hui's gunfire-like retort, and Rao Feifei saw that the momentum was not right and hurriedly dragged Qi Zhou away.
"Gao Ju didn't invite you here to cause trouble." Chang Hui choked out a sentence.
"Yeah, a swan needs to paddle before it can fly." Lu Hui's sarcasm made Chang Hui slam the door and leave.
"We and Team Seven won't last long." Lu Hui turned to Ji Fanyang and said, "Sooner or later, we will fly solo."
Ji Fanyang kept his face sullen and didn't speak, he didn't dare to nod or shake his head.
