Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

Chapter 22 Zhang Wei's investigation of one after another murder case

The second homicide occurred near the Central Ring Road of the Oriental Capital.

An apartment near a bar street.

When Wu Yong and Lao Xing arrived by car, the apartment building was already blocked by people from the Wuxi Association.

"Team Wu!" After getting out of the car, the surrounding field workers greeted Wu Yong one after another.

"Where are Ani and Tamu?"

"They are already upstairs. The murder happened in room 403. The deceased is a woman!"

"Then I'll go up!"

Wu Yong glanced at the location on the fourth floor of the apartment and was about to leave.

"Wait, who are you and how did you get in here!"

"We came with Captain Wu, we are our own people!"

"Your own person, step aside for me without proof, this is the scene of a murder, you can't come in!"

Hearing the conversation behind him, Wu Yong frowned.

"The two of them are witnesses to the first murder, they came with us, let them in!"

He was a little helpless, but still gave the order.

They had no choice but to pull the cordon off and let Zhang Wei and Xia Qianyue enter the scene together.

"Thank you, Team Wu!" Zhang Wei quickly thanked, and Xia Qianyue also followed.

"Remember your identities, don't move around after entering the scene!" Wu Yong warned, and he and Lao Xing guarded the two of them.

The four quickly walked up the stairs to the fourth floor and entered apartment 403.

"Well, there are a lot of small stone sculptures, many of which are semi-finished." As soon as he entered the room, Zhang Wei saw the small objects on the table, on the window sill and on the ground.

They are all hand-carved stone sculptures, almost the same as those in the room of the deceased Lu Mei.

Zhang Wei can be sure that the dead person in this room is the sculptor, and the stone carvings in Lu Mei's apartment must have come from here.

"Ani, what's the situation!" Wu Yong came to the scene and asked his subordinates.

Ani is the black-skinned girl from Group 7, wearing camouflage pants, with dreadlocks, and even an amazing vest line and clear muscle lines can be seen under the tight T-shirt.

This woman's fighting power is definitely not weak!

Zhang Wei made a judgment in his heart, but he didn't know how much Xia Qianyue would be able to fight against the opponent?

"Captain, the name of the deceased is Li Ping, an amateur engraver. According to the forensic inference, the time of death should be on Saturday night. The fatal injuries were knife wounds on the chest and heart..."

Ani began to report the situation, and Zhang Wei also saw the situation of the deceased in the bedroom of the apartment.

The deceased was on his own bed. Multiple stab wounds could be seen on his chest. The bed was stained red with blood. There were signs of resistance in the bedroom, and the fluff in the pillow was almost scattered all over the room.

But unfortunately, the deceased was just a sculptor, without the blessing of force, even if she resisted, it was futile, and she still died in the apartment.

Zhang Wei turned his head and looked at the entrance of the apartment.

There is still no trace of forced entry, which means that the murderer and the deceased also knew each other, and the deceased even let the other party in.

Afterwards, Zhang Wei's eyes fixed on the engraving workbench in the corner of the apartment.

"This woman also got rich recently?"

Because he saw some brand new carving knives, but some old carving knives were randomly thrown on the ground.

Zhang Wei was fond of handicrafts in his previous life, but he also made some small objects, so he could tell the origin of the carving knife at first glance.

The old carving knives are made of stainless steel and belong to the general public, but the new carving knives are made of emery and tungsten steel, and the price is relatively expensive.

Stone carving is not metal carving, so the requirements for the material of the carving knife are not high, even if the hardness of the stainless steel carving knife is enough to polish.

And looking at the traces of use of the new carving knife, it should have been purchased in the last week.

"A middle school chemistry teacher and a sculptor, why did they both get rich?"

Zhang Wei walked cautiously to the door of the bedroom and glanced at the deceased, only to see that there were also tattoos under the blood-stained skin of the deceased.

But this is a famous bar street in the Eastern Capital, and the deceased didn't have a full-time job, so tattoos are normal.

"Hey, who are you!" Suddenly, Zhang Wei was patted.

It turned out to be the black-skinned girl Ani. After she reported to Wu Yong, she happened to notice Zhang Wei who was out of place with her surroundings.

"I'm brought by Captain Wu, and I'm a person who assists in solving the case."

"Assist in solving the case, just you?" Ani expressed doubts.

Although her face was dark, Zhang Wei also saw deep suspicion from the other party's face.

"Really, I'm a good citizen." Zhang Wei quickly explained.

It's a pity that Annie didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

"Ani, don't worry about this kid, go ask the forensics department if they have found any clues!"

"Got it, Captain!"

Now that Wu Yong made the rescue, Ani stopped pestering Zhang Wei and left quickly.

"Where's Tamu? Where's the others?" Soon, Wu Yong found that another of his capable subordinates was missing.

Ani poked her head out from the door: "Captain Wu, I forgot to tell you, another murder case was found in the outer ring. The deceased seemed to have died from a knife wound. Tamu will go there first!"

"What, there is another one!" Team Wu was stunned after hearing this.

You don't get a single case on weekdays, what's going on today?

How come one after another, either nothing happens, or something happens and three people die directly?

"Old Xing, you also go over and meet Tamu!"

He quickly winked at the deputy team beside him, and although the latter was somewhat reluctant, he still went down.

Team Wu's attention returned to the scene.

"How was the deceased discovered and who was the first witness?"

"Team Wu, this is Bar Street, there are gangsters everywhere outside, and the murderer didn't lock the door when he left, so the body was discovered just like that."

"Are the witnesses aware of the situation?"

"After cross-examination, I don't know. There is no surveillance in this building, so it's hard to say. But the people in the forensic department are already calling the surveillance of the nearby bar to see if they can find anything."

Wu Yong frowned tightly, this case is tricky.

If he guessed right, the murderer must have worn gloves, and there would be no fingerprints left at the scene.

If the surveillance outside does not find any clues about the murderer, then the case is suspended!

the other side.

Xia Qianyue, who was at the scene, had also joined Zhang Wei.

"Zhang Wei, what do you think?"

"Of course I see with my eyes, what else?"

"What are you talking about? I'm asking you how to deal with this case?"

"What to do!"

"ah?"

Hearing Zhang Wei's answer, Xia Qianyue was stunned.

Didn't you say you would lead me to solve the case? Why don't you care about it?

"It's very simple. I suspect that Lu Mei and Li Ping made a lot of money recently, but we don't have the authority to investigate the financial report. How can we investigate?"

Zhang Wei spread his arms and had no choice.

This kind of thing that requires authority is only available to the martial arts association. He and Xia Qianyue are just interns.

"What you said is true, they have all made a fortune recently?"

Suddenly, Wu Yong popped up and looked at Zhang Wei strangely.

"Yeah, look at the knives on the table, it's like a shotgun change!"

Zhang Wei pointed to the discarded knives in the corner, "These are all low-grade goods, 2 yuan a handle, 3 yuan a handle, and the wholesale price of 10 yuan can buy a lot."

He then pointed to the shiny new knives on the table: "These are different, at least 30 yuan a piece, tungsten steel grinding and finishing knives, and even 50 yuan."

"Captain Wu, think about it, how can a carver who is used to low-end knives suddenly be able to afford such expensive knives?"

Wu Yong thought for a while, and felt that what the kid in front of him said was indeed reasonable.

He pondered for a moment, then shouted out the door: "Ani, remember to check the financial records of the two deceased after returning to the headquarters!"

"Got it, Captain!"

After Wu Yong finished his orders, he looked at Zhang Wei: "Is there any more?"

"Captain Wu, your serious crime team is the one who solves the case. What do you expect from me?" Zhang Wei shook his head quickly, expressing that there was really nothing left.

"What do you think of next time, kid, tell me directly!" Wu Yong reminded, and went back to the bedroom to check the corpse.

Zhang Wei strolled around the scene again before taking Xia Qianyue downstairs.

An hour later, Wu Yong closed the team.

Zhang Wei and Xia Qianyue hitched a ride again and returned to the headquarters together.

...

Wuxi Association headquarters.

The office area of ​​Group 7 of Serious Cases.

When Wu Yong and his group returned, they found that Lao Xing had already waited here with the fierce-eyed team member Tamu.

"Old Xing, what's the situation with the case over there?"

Lao Xing pointed to the new photo on the evidence board, and introduced: "The deceased was a worker who repaired vending machines, but this job was a part-time job, and he registered with the trade union with a false identity. We checked the information carefully and compared the fingerprints. Later, it was discovered that he himself had a lot of criminal records, such as provocation, aggression, theft, and fighting with weapons. Anyway, he looked like a gangster. With this record, he should not be able to find a full-time job, so he used a false identity to find a part-time job."

"As for the cause of death, it was also a knife wound, but this time the murderer was killed with a single knife, and the attack was fierce. It looks like Lian Jiazi!"

Wu Yong glanced at the photo. The deceased was lying in the corner of a dark alley, his neck was cut open, and there were traces of blood spurting on the ground.

"Is it a one-shot kill? It seems to be the second murderer!" Zhang Wei looked at the photo, a little surprised.

This shows that the murderer who killed the gangster in the photo is not the same person who killed Lu Mei and Li Ping.

The third deceased obviously had a lot of experience in street fighting, but was killed by the murderer with a single blow.

And Lu Mei and Li Ping are just two weak women, and it is even more impossible to stop the murderer, so why do they need to be stabbed more than ten times?

There were at least two murderers, the one who killed Lu Mei and Li Ping was a weak chicken, and the one who killed the gangster was a master with a knife.

Wu Yong also noticed it, and asked doubtfully, "Could it be two different cases? The third deceased is a coincidence with the first two. Is there any connection between the third case and the first two?"

"I don't think so!" But Zhang Wei vetoed Wu Yong's guess.

He walked to the evidence board, pointed to the mobile phone at the hand of the third deceased, and analyzed: "I changed a new mobile phone a while ago, so I searched for new mobile phones on the market. The one used by the deceased is the latest model of Guoguo. The price on the website is about 11,000, and it is hard to imagine that a worker who repairs a vending machine can afford such an expensive mobile phone."

"Hey, the 11,000 mobile phone is enough to cover my two months' salary!" Lao Xing on the side was surprised, but Wu Yong gave him a quick look.

"Then according to what you mean..." Wu Yong then looked at Zhang Wei.

"Team Wu, didn't you say you want to investigate the financial records, you'll know if you take a look?"

After being reminded by Zhang Wei, Wu Yong remembered this matter.

"Ani, investigate the financial reports of the three deceased and compare them!"

"receive!"

Ani started to work, and began to inquire about the financial transfer records of the deceased through the database of the Wushu Association.

Soon, she discovered the problem.

"Hey, 9500 has been credited, and it's been three consecutive weeks!"

All of a sudden, everyone came forward.

Zhang Wei saw the financial records. For three consecutive weeks, the three deceased were almost thinking of depositing 9,500 in their own accounts at the same time.

"Ani, can you find the source of the money?"

"No, this is a cash entry. At most, I can only find bank surveillance videos of three deceased people making deposits."

"Okay, watch the video and see if there are any suspicious people near them when they made the deposit."

Wu Yong was a little disappointed. If only the bank's surveillance video was available, it would not be enough to solve the case.

"By the way, why is it 9,500? Is there anything special about this money, and it has been recorded for three consecutive weeks. What kind of business can have this kind of income?"

A series of questions flashed through Wu Yong's mind.

"It's very simple. In order to avoid tax, there is no need to fill in the income statement!" But Zhang Wei spoke out at this time.

"The bank stipulates that if the deposit exceeds 10,000 in cash, it needs to be reported to the tax, and the bank will even review the detailed income certificate. Therefore, many people will not deposit more than 10,000, just to avoid trouble. This is also a common routine for illegal activities."

"You mean that all three of them were involved in some kind of illegal transaction, and the transaction lasted for about three weeks before being silenced?"

"Obviously so."

Wu Yong looked at Zhang Wei. For the first time, he found that this kid seemed to be capable. Not only was he good at analyzing on the spot, but he also knew a lot.

"Then what do you think the deal will be?"

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

Zhang Wei spread his hands, saying that he is not a prophet.

Wu Yong was disappointed, looked at the sky outside, and urged: "Since it's getting late, you two should go home early, if you know anything, remember to contact us!"

As he spoke, he took out two business cards and handed them to Zhang Wei and Xia Qianyue.

"Fine!"

Zhang Wei took out his business card, glanced at Xia Qianyue who was reluctant to leave, and finally pulled her up and walked outside.

"Zhang Wei, I want to stay for a while..."

"Aren't you making trouble for others by staying here? The serious crime team is so busy, so you will increase their workload by staying here?"

Xia Qianyue still had a lot to say, but Zhang Wei poured a basin of cold water on it.

"Zhang Wei, what are you talking about, I just want to help the serious crime team relieve the pressure!"

"Share the pressure. It's good if you don't increase the pressure on them. Solving cases is not something you, a rookie, can do!"

As he said that, Zhang Wei made a hissing gesture, "You really want to solve the case, but you can go with me. I suddenly thought of some clues."

"Really?"

"Of course, but we have to investigate these clues ourselves, and the Martial Arts Association may not be able to find them!"

The two left the martial arts association soon, and their destination was near the bar street where the deceased Li Ping lived.

It was getting late and the lights were on.

The bar street, which was quiet during the day, also began to be lively.

Although a murder case occurred here, it did not prevent young men and women in the Oriental Capital from coming here to have fun.

In the back alley of the bar street, there are many gangsters with colorful hairstyles gathered. They are talking loudly, with cigarettes in their mouths, waving their arms, and from time to time they say "mmp" and "ctmd" from their mouths. Class civilized normative terms.

"Several brothers, do you know where there is a good tattoo artist nearby?"

Suddenly, a young man who didn't fit in with the gangsters around him intervened.

"Tattoos?" The gangsters came to their senses and looked at the person, "You look so gentle, do you want tattoos too?"

"I can't help it. I recently made a girlfriend and insisted on asking me to show my determination. My little brother is thinking, why not tattoo your name on your chest, and next time you flick your clothes, say that I have always remembered you in my heart." superior!"

"Hehe, you're still taller, brother!"

When the punks heard the young man's words, they all gave a thumbs up.

One of the gangsters leaned close to the young man's ear and gave an address.

The young man thanked him and left quickly.

...

Near Bar Street, in a small alley.

Zhang Wei took Xia Qianyue to the tattoo master provided by the gangster from a young age.

After all, tattooing is not a serious business. Many masters have opened shops in small alleys, and they call it body painting.

Moreover, in this line of work, people rely on craftsmanship to make a living, and there are very few masters with good craftsmanship.

Zhang Wei was also afraid that he would not find a good master, so he came up with the trick of asking for directions. If you asked the martial arts association to investigate, maybe the gangsters would have run away when they saw Wu Yong take out his ID.

"Zhang Wei, you don't want a tattoo, do you?"

"If it's a tattoo of your name, of course I'd like to!"

"Go to hell, who wants you to tattoo my name!"

"All right, let's ask about the situation today."

Zhang Wei walked into the store and directly found an elderly tattoo master in the store.

"Master, I want to ask, do you know who made these tattoos?"

Zhang Wei took out his mobile phone and showed the master a photo.

"This... is this a corpse?" The moment he saw the photo, the master was terrified.

These photos were all secretly taken by Zhang Wei at the scene of the murder.

"Master, this is an art photo. Do you understand art photos? At that time, they told the photographer that they wanted to pose as a murder scene. I was also depressed when I saw it, but I didn't expect that the photographer was also professional, so I put it out."

"The blood is plasma, and the wounds are the work of a makeup artist. Just don't worry, I just want to ask about tattoos..."

Zhang Wei quickly explained, and the tattoo master was relieved.

You said it earlier, I thought it was a real dead person, but it was an art photography.

But let alone, the make-up artist and the photographer are very capable, the blood plasma is sprinkled like money, and the photos are just like the real murder scene.

"Looking at this handwriting, it should not be from our area. We are good at new traditions here, but the tattoos in the photo are old traditional styles. Young people nowadays like dark styles, add some ghosts, words, etc., they I don’t like the old tradition anymore.”

"I remember someone in Chengbei District seems to have this tattoo. Look at the real dragon in the first picture, and the carp in the second picture. The colors are bright and vivid. The person who got the tattoo must have years of skill!"

Listening to the master's explanation, Zhang Wei knew it in his heart.

Sure enough, starting from the tattoo, there are still gains.
