Sense of smell

Chapter 9 Winter Grass 2

The deceased Zhang Li, male, 54 years old, deputy general manager of the import and export trade resources company.There were traces of gunpowder scorching inside the mouth, no toxic substances were found in the esophagus and internal organs, the back of the head was pierced by bullets, and he died instantly after being shot. A bullet with blood stains was found at the scene, which matched the pistol held by the deceased in his right hand. The model matches, and only the fingerprints of the deceased were collected on the pistol. It was preliminarily judged to be a suicide by swallowing the gun.

The woman in the private room with Zhang Li tonight is He Rouyu, an employee of the Land and Resources Bureau. She must have witnessed Zhang Li's death with her own eyes.Wendy is constantly suggesting counseling, if the situation doesn't improve, she can only be sent to a treatment center.

Looking at the autopsy report in his hand, Jiang Yue frowned and thought, not to mention how Zhang Li entered with a gun, the deputy general manager will be promoted in the second half of the year, and will soon become the top leader of the company. He has a daughter who is studying in the city. The best high school will participate in the national assessment in the coming year, and the future is limitless.

How could such a person with a happy life and a bright career commit suicide?

And the huge amount of cash that appeared in the private room was only a private meeting between two people, which made people question the normality of this banquet.

He put away his thoughts and looked back, only to see Lin Chuan talking with a man beside him.

Lin Chuan touched his pocket, but couldn't find a cigarette, and then remembered that he was wearing a formal suit today, so he rubbed his fingertips anxiously.Yes, when I was attending a party or on vacation, I ran into such a drudgery.

Yan Ruolan looked at Lin Chuan's small movements, and handed out a cigarette knowingly. Lin Chuan gratefully accepted it, but did not light it immediately. He said in a low voice, "Did Sister Yi send it back?"

"Well, she didn't know what happened, but she was worried about you, so she asked me to come back and take a look." Yan Ruolan didn't light the cigarette either, and looked at Lin Chuan worriedly and replied.

"That's good," Lin Chuan took a deep breath, "Pregnant women should not see these scenes, it is best not to see blood, and you have to protect yourself."

Yan Ruolan nodded in response, and then asked, "Xiao Chuan, is there... someone dead?"

Lin Chuan looked at the scene surrounded by the holographic warning line with an unpredictable expression, and there was a dull response from his throat. He pretended to be relaxed and smiled and said: "The murderer these days probably won't see us idle. For a while, I will take a long vacation and don’t care about anything else.”

Yan Ruolan teased: "I don't believe you don't care about anything. When you chose your career, you had such good grades that you could go into business or medicine, but you had to be a criminal police officer. Now, I think you are really tired. "

Lin Chuan smiled wearily. He patted Yan Ruolan on the shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, don't worry about me here, go back and take care of Sister Yi."

Yan Ruolan moved his lips, hesitant to speak, Lin Chuan looked at him strangely, and said, "Say something quickly, like a woman."

"Xiaochuan," Yan Ruolan pursed her lips, and continued, "You must be careful in this business."

Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows and said, "It's only natural, why did you suddenly mention this?"

Yan Ruolan looked at the direction behind Lin Chuan with a complex expression, and Lin Chuan turned his head slightly to look, only to see that Jiang Yue was constantly checking the scene, flipping through the clue records of the survey robot from time to time, still focusing on the case, paying attention to the surroundings. They all turned a deaf ear.

"Is that your colleague? I always feel that he is not such a simple person." Yan Ruolan's words reached Lin Chuan's ears. Lin Chuan looked at his best friend in surprise, and said disapprovingly: "When did you Will you know how to look at ants?"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Jiang Yue and said, "I think he is full of heaven, with sword-like eyebrows and deep eyes, and he is auspicious and celestial..."

"Hey, don't talk to me." Yan Ruolan interrupted, "What's wrong with the ant face? I think it's quite accurate. To be honest, he looks like a person who has experienced a lot of troubles. He seems to be thinking hard. Such a person If the psychological index is still normal, it is probably very dangerous."

Lin Chuan listened silently. As a former police officer, it was difficult for Jiang Yue to understand what he had encountered.He pondered for a moment, then said with a playful smile: "It's all right, Yan Banxian, why don't you show me when I can get out of the order?"

Yan Ruolan rolled her eyes angrily and said, "You will be alone forever."

Lin Chuan kicked Yan Ruolan with a smile, and said, "Thank you for your good words, go back quickly, I'm off to work." Then he waved to Yan Ruolan and walked towards the scene.

"Xiao Chuan, if there is anything I can do to help you, just tell me."

Lin Chuan looked back at Yan Ruolan, his friend's smile was still worried, he gestured "OK" to him, then turned and walked towards Jiang Yue's back who was focused and busy.

"Finished talking?" Jiang Yue noticed someone approaching beside him, and said without raising his head.

Lin Chuan gave a "hmm" and looked at the small robots busy all over the place. Zhang Li's body had been transported back to the headquarters, and the blood stains remained on the carpet in the private room, which was eye-catching. He asked, "Did you find anything?"

"No clues were found on the deceased, and the secondary autopsy report has not yet been completed. I think the most important thing is this box." Jiang Yue handed Lin Chuan a pair of rubber gloves, and opened the aluminum suitcase on the table and said.

Lin Chuan took the gloves and put them on, then approached the box full of cash, looked back and forth and asked, "Do you care what so much money is used for?"

"No," Jiang Yue picked up a steel wire with a slightly bent front and inserted it into the keyhole of the suitcase, "I'm more concerned about how this pistol was brought into this hotel."

Lin Chuan watched Jiang Yue meticulously groping in the keyhole with the steel wire. After a long time, he slowly pulled out the steel wire, and saw a small electronic device hanging on the front end, which looked like a chip, and a red light was constantly flashing on it. Lin Chuan looked at the object of unknown origin and asked, "What is this?"

"Signal jammer." Jiang Yue took out a physical evidence bag, put the jammer and wire into it, and continued: "There was a case before, where the criminal entered the bank with a gun and robbed a lot of money. Casualties were caused to the hostages, and he was finally brought to justice. At that time, the security check did not find that he was carrying a gun, and finally a similar jammer was found in the butt of his pistol."

Lin Chuan was surprised: "How can there be such a thing now..."

Jiang Yue said lightly: "Without a complete society ruled by law, no matter how strict the law is, there will still be illegal activities wanton."

"..." Lin Chuan didn't answer. After a long while, he continued, "So it was brought in in this box, but the intention of carrying the gun couldn't be suicide, right?"

Jiang Yue looked at Lin Chuan meaningfully, and said, "It seems that he is really a schoolmaster. I didn't believe it was as simple as suicide."

Lin Chuan heard Jiang Yue's teasing, shrugged and said, "Although the autopsy report is more accurate."

Jiang Yue smiled lightly and said, "If you want to know why Zhang Li died, you have to work hard on He Rouyu first."

Lin Chuan nodded in agreement, only to hear Jiang Yue say again: "By the way, when you were talking to me earlier, what did you not finish?"

Lin Chuan narrowed his eyes and thought about it, and then immediately said: "Oh yes, I wanted to say that Cheng Jing wanted to get these two medicines, so she could prescribe them through pregnancy, but what she never expected was that she couldn't get pregnant. Then Tang Zheng is worthless to her, so she abandoned him. Moreover, Liu Jiale's testimony mentioned that Tang Zheng was forced to marry Cheng Jing, so it seems reasonable to think so."

Jiang Yue was silent in thought, Lin Chuan saw that he did not answer, and continued to say: "What does she want these two medicines for..."

He frowned and kept thinking, the atmosphere froze for a moment, and after a while the two of them spoke in unison: "Pharmaceutical."

The two looked at each other, and they both understood.If Cheng Jing participated in the production of tranquilizers, there must be a whole game of chess behind her.

"Yes, I see." Wei Lan hung up her watch and walked towards Lin Chuan and Jiang Yue, only to see the two of them hugging each other in thought, with the other resting their right hand against their chin and biting their thumbnails, her heart ached. Feeling strange, but still said calmly: "Officer Lin, Wendy called to say that there is progress in the interrogation of He Rouyu, and would like to ask you to go back to the police station."

Lin Chuan recovered from his thoughts and immediately responded.So he packed up the evidence bag containing the signal jammer, handed the suitcase to the robot, and prepared to leave for the police station.

Wei Lan looked around, the survey robot was still searching for clues, and the holographic scanning network was cast from time to time, the first stage of the on-site investigation should be almost done, so she asked, "Officer Lin, do we still need to keep people at the scene? "

Lin Chuan thought for a moment and said, "No need, leave the security robot on duty at the scene, and everyone returns to the police station."

Tang Zhengfeng stood in front of the single-sided glass and watched the scene in the room. The value of the psychological detector next to him kept jumping up and down. The woman in the interrogation room was sitting opposite Wendy with her eyes downcast. , her lips trembled unceasingly, Wendy asked him a question softly, always had to repeat it several times to get a reply.

When he heard footsteps behind him, he turned his head and saw that the remaining five people were gradually approaching. Lin Chuan probably hadn't had time to change his clothes yet. He was still wearing a suit, and his gold leaf-trimmed pocket square was blocked by the police badge. , he hurried to Tang Zhengfeng and asked: "Tang team, what's the matter, did you tell me?"

Tang Zhengfeng took the tablet on the side and handed it to Lin Chuan. Lin Chuan took it and began to read it skillfully, only to hear Tang Zhengfeng say: "She said the purpose of that box of cash, this weak-looking girl, actually He's a gun dealer."

Lin Chuan looked at the interrogation record with increasing astonishment, which was presented in a question-and-answer format.

Q: What is your relationship with the tension of the deceased?

A: I have a subordinate relationship with Zhang Li, and I belong to the resource management department of the company.

Q: What did you do in Luyuan Hotel?

A: My performance was relatively good last week. Zhang Li helped me a lot. I invited him to dinner.

Q: What happened to the suitcase in the private room?

A: We have done business in private. Zhang Li likes to collect guns. He gives me money, and I bring it to him from abroad.

Q: Did you give the gun in Zhang Li's hand?

A: Yes.

The interrogation record stops here, which shows the difficulty of the interrogation process. Only a few questions were investigated, but it took three hours. Lin Chuan looked at the value of the psychological detector and bit his nails anxiously.

"You witnessed Zhang Li's death?" Wendy's voice came from the interrogation room, and everyone was watching every move in the interrogation room. He Rouyu heard his shoulders tremble, but did not answer.

"You witnessed Zhang Li's death, didn't you?" Wendy asked again, but her answer was still only silence.

Jiang Yue frowned slightly, he clicked his tongue and pushed the door open, the two people in the room turned their heads when they heard the sound, just as Wendy was about to speak, Jiang Yue stretched out his hand and pressed down to signal her to sit down, then pulled the chair over by himself, Sitting in front of He Rouyu, the latter seemed very panicked by this sudden visitor, and her whole body couldn't help trembling.

"Carrying guns is illegal in itself, but selling guns, you know the result very well." Jiang Yue took out the evidence bag from his pocket, which contained a black chip with a small light on it, which did not emit light.

He Rouyu didn't show much expression when she saw the chip on the table, Jiang Yue seemed to have expected it, and continued to say: "I know this thing is nothing to you, a signal jammer, it should be very easy for you to bring a gun into the country." Use this a lot."

He Rouyu still lowered his head, making it hard to see his expression. Jiang Yue leaned forward slightly and said, "This is used to hide the pistol. But why did you find it in the box containing the cash?"

He Rouyu's hands resting on her knees were slightly startled, Jiang Yue didn't pay attention to her small movements, and continued speaking with an irresistible sense of oppression in her voice: "Suppose there are two boxes, one with a pistol and one with a pistol. If you have cash, after your transaction, in order to make this transaction not suspicious, the contents of it will be exchanged, that is to say, there is still a clue missing at the scene."

He Rouyu lowered her head and slowly raised her head. She stared at Jiang Yue with wide eyes. Jiang Yue looked straight into her eyes and asked sternly, "Where is Zhang Li's box? Tell me!"

"He committed suicide..." He Rouyu murmured in a voice as small as a mosquito: "He committed suicide, he committed suicide! That's right! Suicide...suicide..."

The value of the psychological detector was increasing rapidly. Tang Zhengfeng was about to push the door to stop Jiang Yue from further interrogation, but Lin Chuan reached out to stop him.

"Lin Chuan, you..."

"Wait a minute, Team Tang," Lin Chuan turned to Tang Zhengfeng and said, "Give him a little more time."

Jiang Yue looked at He Rouyu chanting almost crazily with a blank face, and said with a normal expression: "Because the pistols, guns and cash were exchanged, so there must be your fingerprints on the suitcase, and the only ones in the private room today are you and Zhang Li The two of you, Ms. He, besides the crime of selling guns, do you want one more charge?"

He Rouyu stopped murmuring deliriously, and finally reacted to what Jiang Yue said. Her complexion became paler, and she looked at Jiang Yue blankly. After a long time, she said, "...I don't want to die."

Jiang Yue said lightly: "You explain everything clearly. If Zhang Li was not killed by you, the sentence for selling guns will be more than three years in prison. If you behave well, you can reduce your sentence as appropriate."

He Rouyu swallowed slowly, and she stammered nervously: "Today, today, Zhang Li and I pay the money and deliver the goods according to the usual practice..."

Six years ago, He Rouyu was just a calf who had just entered the workplace. Her good looks and courageous personality made her quickly appreciated, and she was transferred from the most basic department to the resource management department.This is the core department of the company, and it can often go abroad for trade exchanges. She joined the trading company in the first place to get the opportunity to go in and out frequently, so when Zhang Li found her for the first time, she did not hesitate too much. accepted.

Zhang Li loves guns and treats them as playthings, but the country has issued a ban on guns long ago, and they can only be obtained through private trade abroad, and the price is not usually high, but Zhang Li is willing to spend money here.He searched for a trading partner for a long time, and finally found He Rouyu.

He Rouyu was not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, so she responded without any hesitation. She found the trader according to Zhang Li's instructions, got the gun, and learned to install a chip in the stock of the gun. They told her that it was a signal jammer. If you use this, you don't have to worry about being detained by the security check.

Although she has a strong character, she is still afraid of the law. She walks towards the entry port with a gun in her hand, but the expected siren does not sound.She let out a sigh of relief, and no longer felt that the gun in her bag was like a bomb.

The cash that Zhang Li gave was very generous. He Rouyu tasted the sweetness and began to engage in such illegal activities recklessly. Luckily, she even took other people's business, and the cash flowed into the account like a flood. They got closer and closer, and gradually the two of them didn't just stay in the transaction, but gradually replaced by some kind of unexplainable relationship, and she and Zhang Li also had a physical relationship.

Tonight, she went to the appointment as scheduled, took the most commonly used aluminum suitcase, put the jammer into the keyhole, Zhang Zhang needed a new pistol, she wiped the fingerprints on the pistol carefully, Put it in the box.

The alarm still didn't go off, she opened the door happily and entered, Zhang Li was already waiting in the private room, when she saw He Rouyu, she got up and hugged her, after they kissed passionately, the main content of tonight's banquet began.

"I went to the bathroom halfway, and when I came back, just, just..." He Rouyu recalled slowly, as if remembering something terrible, her face began to tremble.

When Wendy heard that, she quickly asked, "Just what?"

He Rouyu took a deep breath, as if trying to stabilize her emotions, she said with a trembling voice, "I saw Zhang Li holding that gun and sticking it into her mouth, then, then..."

Jiang Yue frowned tightly with a serious expression. Everyone knew what happened afterwards, but something was still missing, so he asked, "Where is Zhang Li's box?"

"I don't know... When I came back, the robot at the door was gone, and I didn't see his box."

Jiang Yue didn't answer for a long time, and the interrogation room fell silent for a moment. He glanced sideways at the one-sided glass, then looked away, and said, "Come here first today, Wendy, and send Ms. He for psychological treatment first."

Wendy nodded in response, and Jiang Yue walked out of the interrogation room.

Lin Chuan looked at the fruitful interrogation record with satisfaction, and said to Jiang Yue: "Okay, Mr. Jiang, I almost thought you were the police officer."

Jiang Yue smiled angrily at this title and said: "The police officer will not interrogate himself."

Lin Chuan watched Wendy take He Rouyu to the psychotherapy room, and said, "The tension box must have been taken away."

"I still don't believe that the box can grow legs and run away by itself." Jiang Yue teased.

"Okay, stop whispering." Tang Zhengfeng looked at the two people who kept talking in a low voice, and said seriously: "Du Jiuna called up the surveillance, follow me to have a look."

Everyone: "Yes."

Lin Chuan focused on the surveillance video on the electronic screen, and the light from the screen reflected his pensive face.

The figure of He Rouyu walking out of the private room first appeared in the screen, which was no different from her testimony. She should be going to the bathroom now, and after a few minutes, the robot next to the private room left at the same time as if it had been programmed. A man dressed as a hotel employee appeared on the fast screen. He pushed the dining table in, and soon pushed the dining table out. The table was always covered with a white cloth.

"Enlarge the video, can you see the face clearly?" Tang Zhengfeng said after seeing this.

When Du Jiu heard this, he operated the keyboard to zoom in on the video, aiming at the man's face in the video, but the man was wearing a mask, so he couldn't see clearly.

"Those who can successfully commit crimes and escape must be very familiar with the structure of the hotel." Jiang Yue said in a deep voice, "Check the files of the hotel staff to see if there is anyone who exceeds the psychological value."

Lisa, who was sitting next to Du Jiu, tapped the keyboard a few times, and soon a file appeared on the screen, and she said: "I've already checked it, and I'm happy, because the psychological value is too high, a month ago Has been dismissed from the hotel, but has not sought medical attention and has not entered an infirmary."

Tang Zhengfeng immediately issued an order: "Everyone starts the search immediately. I, Wei Lan, Huang Mao, and Yongshu form Group A to go to the hotel for on-site inspections. Lin Chuan, Jiang Yue, and Wendy form Group B to wait for instructions at the General Administration!"

When Lin Chuan heard this, he was immediately unhappy and said, "I object!"

"This is an order." Without saying a word, Tang Zhengfeng immediately led the people out of the file room.Lin Chuan was about to catch up, but found that someone pulled his arm back.

"Obey the order, Officer Lin." Jiang Yue pulled Lin Chuanyun and said lightly.

"But..." Lin Chuan said stubbornly.

"I understand your feelings." Jiang Yue looked straight into Lin Chuan's eyes and said, "The murder happened right under my nose, and I not only failed to stop it, but also failed to solve it."

Jiang Yue's voice was particularly prominent and lonely in the archive room, and Du Jiu's sound of typing on the keyboard gradually stopped.

"Fortunately, there is still a glimmer of hope, let's just wait and see."
