Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room

The time came half a month later.

A murder case put the Hongzhong District Criminal Investigation Brigade into a busy overtime state. Everyone could not go to bed until early in the morning and had to get up very early. The entire Criminal Investigation Brigade looked exhausted from top to bottom.

The deceased's name was Li Yao, 26 years old, a foreigner living alone, and working as a receptionist in a company.

The cause of death was heart failure due to poisoning, and an obvious red rash was visible on the skin.

Time of death, between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. on April 2.

The type of poison is temporarily uncertain, but sedative drugs were detected in the body of the deceased. The method of ingesting the poison was injection. There were obvious pinholes in the neck of the deceased.

It was definitely a homicide.

A light blue teardrop-shaped pendant was also found at the scene, lying quietly next to the victim.

A week has passed since the police received the call. Lu Guangjun, captain of the criminal investigation team of the branch, is responsible for the investigation of the case.

The current progress is as follows:

The surveillance camera completely captured the suspect's murder at 12:30 in the morning.

The other party wore loose clothes and guarded Li Yao's only way home. He suddenly attacked from behind and inserted the syringe into Li Yao's neck, causing Li Yao to lose consciousness on the spot.

The suspect then dragged Li Yao into a nearby alley, left at the other end of the alley, and disappeared from surveillance.

There was no financial loss and no signs of sexual assault. The suspect's purpose was to kill.

The time of committing the crime was 12:30 in the morning, and the time of death was later than 2:00 in the morning. The one and a half hours in between was the time of the toxic attack, which means that if he sought medical treatment in time, Li Yao might still have a chance to escape the danger of his life.

Unfortunately, it was too late and no one found Li Yao who was unconscious.

The function of sedative drugs should be to put Li Yao into a coma, where she would wait for the onset of toxicity and death. This was used to infer that the poison did not have the ability to cause death in a short period of time.

The suspect is well disguised. He has no appearance and no known gender. The footprints on the cement road are also difficult to extract. Currently, the suspect's height can only be measured through surveillance, which is about 1.78 meters.

The target of the crime was clear and the method of committing the crime was well prepared. This was a premeditated and vicious murder case.

For a week, Lu Guangjun investigated Li Yao's interpersonal relationships in detail, mainly including her boyfriend who had just broken up and her colleagues in the company. No matter whether they started from the motive or the time of the crime, they found nothing.

Those who have a motive have no time, and those who have time have no motive. There is no clue who the murderer is and why he killed a girl living alone out of town.

No fingerprints were recovered from the teardrop-shaped pendant. The suspect was wearing gloves, so it was impossible to determine whether it belonged to the suspect or the victim.

Judging from the victim's consumption records, no purchase records of related items were found, so the pendant is more likely to belong to the suspect.

Whether it was left on purpose or accidentally dropped at the scene, there is no way of knowing.

At this moment, Lu Guangjun was in Zhou Yebin's office, reporting on the investigation of the case.

"It stands to reason that love murder is the most likely possibility. She just broke up, and her ex-boyfriend Fu Tianlei's motive for committing the crime exists, but he has a sufficient alibi. He has been working overtime in the company before and after the crime. The company's surveillance can confirm this. "

"Moreover, Li Yao went to the company to find Fu Tianlei before he was killed, and the two broke up on bad terms. This is why Li Yao didn't go home until early in the morning."

Lu Guangjun said.

Li Yao and Fu Tianlei work in the same company and have grown from colleagues to lovers.

At the desk, Zhou Yebin frowned. The murder was a serious case and the pressure was still considerable.

"You said before that the victim committed suicide half a month ago?" he asked.

Lu Guangjun nodded: "Yes, it was daytime. She was sitting on the window sill and attracted many people to watch. Firefighters and nearby police arrived and finally rescued her."

"I asked the police who handled the matter. The reason for suicide was broken love."

"She didn't want to break up with her boyfriend. She couldn't accept it and it was very painful. This incident can also indirectly prove that Li Yao's ex-boyfriend Fu Tianlei had no motive for committing the crime. It was he who dumped Li Yao, not Li Yao who dumped her."

Zhou Yebin: "What was the reason for the breakup?"

Lu Guangjun replied: "A divorced leader of the company is relatively close to Li Yao. I have asked about it and he is indeed pursuing him, but Li Yao has no interest in him and has clearly rejected him. However, some misunderstandings inevitably occurred in the process. This caused Fu Tianlei to become suspicious of Li Yao, so he proposed to break up."

"Of course, Fu Tianlei is also afraid of being misled by his boss or even fired, so he doesn't dare to associate with Li Yao anymore."

Zhou Yebin: "There is no time to commit the crime?"

Lu Guangjun nodded: "No, I have checked the surveillance. The leader of the company has never come out since he returned home. What I checked was the surveillance inside the building. There is no possibility of sneaking out."

Hearing this, Zhou Yebin rubbed his forehead: "That's strange. Were there no doubts about previous interpersonal relationships?"

Lu Guangjun: “We haven’t found it yet.”

Zhou Yebin: "Continue to search. There are no clues left at the scene pointing to the identity of the murderer. At present, we can only start from the motive of committing the crime. It is deliberate murder. This person must have a very good reason."

Lu Guangjun: "Okay, then I'll send someone to her hometown tomorrow to have a look. Maybe we can gain something."

Zhou Yebin: "Yeah."

That night, the criminal investigation team of the branch held a small meeting as usual to sort out the clues in this case, hoping to find a breakthrough.

The discussion lasted until eleven o'clock in the evening. Just as it was about to end, the alarm bell attracted everyone's attention.

"Hello, Hongzhong District Criminal Investigation Brigade."

"Okay! I'll notify Captain Lu right away!"

The police officer who answered the call must have heard bad news, and his tone became urgent and solemn.

After hanging up the phone, the police officer who received the call immediately turned around: "Team Lu! A body was found in the middle of Shunnan Street, male. The police station in the jurisdiction has arrived and is maintaining order on the scene. Please ask for support from the branch!"

Hearing this, Lu Guangjun's expression changed, and he suddenly felt like he was in trouble. He still had no clue about the case in his hand, so why did another person die? ?

Now is not the time to think about these things, you must rush to the scene as quickly as possible.

"Everyone, follow me!"

"Yes! Captain Lu!"

The police car drove out of the precinct, its lights flashing, and its sirens blaring throughout the street. The surrounding private cars didn't know what was going on and quickly got out of the way.

Shunnan Street is relatively remote and is a gathering place for barbecue seafood stalls. When Lu Guangjun led people to the scene of the crime, there were already crowds of people standing around.

There is always no shortage of people drinking and partying in the night market. Eleven o'clock is still early for them, and with the people coming out for late-night snacks, the whole street is bustling and lively.

The cordon has been raised. It is a small piece of wasteland and dilapidated houses. It is only a hundred meters away from the nearest barbecue restaurant that opened. There are piles of garbage on the ground and disgusting excrement can be seen.

Many men who eat food stalls will solve their urinary and defecation problems nearby. This is the norm in the market.

"Captain Lu."

"Captain Lu."

Seeing Lu Guangjun's arrival, the police in the jurisdiction quickly set up a cordon and asked the other party to bring people in.

Lu Guangjun nodded slightly in response and strode to the location where the body was found, but did not get close.

The ground is soft soil. If there are certain questions about this person's death, the footprints are very important clues and need to be extracted first.

Without Lu Guangjun opening his mouth, technical police officers and forensic doctors stepped forward carefully to ensure that the scene was as intact as possible.

Before he could take action, a technical police officer seemed to have discovered something. He put on gloves and bent down to pick up a pendant.

It was a teardrop-shaped pendant, light blue.

Something very familiar.

"Captain Lu!" The police officer looked serious and immediately signaled to Lu Guangjun, "The same pendant!"

Lu Guangjun was obviously startled when he saw the pendant in the police officer's hand, and his face darkened in the next second.

"Look at the wound!" Lu Guangjun ordered.

The forensic doctor understood what the other party meant. He turned on the light source and squatted next to the corpse to examine the entire neck. Finally, he found a small pinhole on the side and rear.

When the forensic doctor nodded to him, Lu Guangjun's heart skipped a beat. After realizing the possibility of serial murder, he took out his cell phone and called Zhou Yebin without hesitation.

The phone rang for a long time before it was connected. The other party may have gone to bed or was washing.

"Hello?" Zhou Yebin's voice sounded.

Lu Guangjun: "Director Zhou, another one died, male. There was the same pendant at the scene and the same pinhole on his neck!"

He didn't say anything else. It's not yet known whether he was also poisoned, but the two points were enough.

One sentence made Zhou Yebin silent for a long time, and he said: "Report it to the city bureau and let Chen Yi handle it."

Lu Guangjun: "Yes!"

Cases within the jurisdiction are generally investigated by the branch bureaus, but if major cases or special circumstances are encountered, reporting to the municipal bureau is the best option.

Two lives and suspected serial killings are a very big deal for a city. This cannot be hidden, the city bureau must know.

At this time, Chen Yi had already gone home and was getting ready to sleep with Fang Shuyu. After receiving the phone call about the case, he quickly got dressed and gathered his team, and it took him 40 minutes to arrive at the crime scene on Shunhe Street.

When the crowd saw more police cars arriving, they realized that there might be a real murder, so they didn't dare to stay and watch any longer, so they backed away a lot.

"Chen Zhi."

"Chen Zhi."

The policemen and criminal police officers along the road saluted. The temperature was not high tonight, but Chen Yi only wore a dark jacket with his arms open. He looked much more capable.

Everyone looked at the young man curiously, knowing in their hearts that a higher-level leader should be here.

Because of this, it must be a big case. When you go out to have a meal or drink with friends, you can encounter a big case by chance. I don't know whether it's luck or misfortune.

"Old Lu." Chen Yi entered the cordon and came to Lu Guangjun, looking at the body not far away, "What is the specific situation?"

Lu Guangjun glanced around. Although the crowd was far away and could not hear his voice, he still subconsciously spoke in a low voice: "Chen Zhi, the second one happened. The two characteristics are exactly the same. It should be done by one person."

"Did one person do it?" Chen Yi raised his eyebrows and waved his hand: "Brother Qiang, Shuyu, take someone to take over the scene and investigate carefully."

Lu Yongqiang: "Yes."

Fang Shuyu: "Okay."
