Mystery Hunter - Chapter 204

[Chapter 204 Rice Cake Ginger Tea]

Xiao Ai told Mr. Shao the current address of Wei Qian. Xiao Ai once heard Wei Qian say that when she was a teenager, her parents divorced, and she now lives with her mother. It only takes about an hour and a half to drive from this address. Everyone said goodbye to Xiao Ai and went to Wei Qian’s house.

This is an old open-plan community, and the property managers have long gone, and paying electricity and water bills has become a task for the residents themselves. There are no cameras in the old corridors, the houses are dilapidated, and the flow of people is mixed. In the area of Longcheng, the rent for a room here is no more than 300 per month, which shows the dilapidation here.

Xu Yiman parked the car, and everyone came to the fifth unit. Unit 5, the sixth floor, is the highest floor. And Wei Qian’s house is at 602 on the sixth floor of Unit 5. Standing at the door, only the door frame of the dilapidated building door is left, and the iron door has long since disappeared.

The corridor was full of old and shabby items such as cardboard boxes and iron buckets. A bicycle that had fallen apart was leaning on the side, and it seemed that no one had ridden it for decades. The stairs were covered with dust, leaving countless footprints of residents, and it seemed that no one had ever cleaned the place.

There was no elevator, so a few people climbed the stairs and went all the way to the sixth floor.

All the way up, looking at the left and right doors all the way, most people do not have anti-theft doors, and some even have locks. This ancient way of locking the door and the mottled and cracked walls are telling everyone that the buildings here are almost a hundred years old. Some of the doors have been cobwebbed, and it looks like no one has lived in them for a long time.

The doors of the houses were closed, and it was unknown which houses had residents, and which houses were already empty.

The door of 602 was also closed, but the floor mats in front of the door were spotless, which means that someone cleaned it here.

Jiang He stood on the foot pad and knocked on the door “Dong Dong Dong”: “Wang Ziyi, is Wei Qian at home? We are the police, let’s find out something.”

But Jiang He shouted for ten minutes, but there was no movement inside. Xu Yiman was also constantly calling Wang Ziyi or Wei Qian’s mobile number, but no one answered either.

At this time, a “squeak” came from behind several people, and an old voice asked, “Who are you looking for?”

Looking back, the resident of 601 was a gray-haired old lady who seemed to have Seventy or eighty years old, he leaned on a cane tremblingly and asked tremblingly.

“We are looking for Wang Ziyi from 602, her daughter is Wei Qian, do you know?” Shao Lao said.

“Selling fragrant rice? Fifty cents?” the old man asked with a frown.

Shao Lao raised his voice again: “Wang Ziyi, it’s not selling fragrant rice!”

“What?” The old lady moved her ears forward, but still couldn’t hear clearly.

Shao Lao was helpless. He pointed to the door of 602 and asked, “This family!” The

old lady seemed to understand something, nodded and said, “Last night, the couple quarreled. I heard there was a war inside, crackling. Yes, the man scolded the woman, the woman scolded the man, and there was the sound of glass breaking. After a while, there was no movement, I watched the door open, and a man went downstairs.”

Several people immediately became alert, After Wang Ziyi and Wei Lingyong divorced, the information showed that she did not marry again, and Wei Lingyong had no idea where his wife lived, so how could he come here to quarrel with Wang Ziyi? So who was the one who quarreled with Wang Ziyi last night, and where did Wei Qian go last night?

“Could it be Lu Zhengye!” Shao Lao thought to himself.

“What sound did you hear?” Elder Shao raised his voice, basically shouting.

The old lady said: “Why are you shouting so high~ I can’t hear you. Last night, I was lying behind the door and listened. The man said he wanted to eat jujube kernels, and he said about eating rice cakes. Wang Ziyi said she didn’t. After eating rice cakes, she said what ginger tea to drink. She really liked ginger tea and called it many times. The man said he didn’t drink ginger tea, and also asked Wang Ziyi to buy some wife cakes. …”

After speaking, the old lady laughed: “His family loves to eat.”

Hearing this, everyone was really helpless. As long as there is no problem with the brain, there will definitely not be such a quarrel over what rice cakes and ginger tea to eat. Besides, I don’t know who likes to eat it, sometimes it sounds like fragrant rice, and then it sounds like wife cake. I don’t know if the old lady’s ears are working well.

“What’s that guy like?” Shao Lao asked.

The old lady turned her head to the side, as if she didn’t hear clearly: “Ah? Old goat? Old goat is not delicious, but roast lamb is delicious.”

“I said what that man looks like!” Shao Lao shouted again.

“What are you shouting, what are you shouting!” The old lady rubbed her ears: “You screamed my ears to death! That man has fat arms, big ass, dark skin, and a round head. Yes , tall and fast.”

This description is similar to Xiao Ai’s description, if it is Lu Zhengye, Wang Ziyi is afraid that there is danger.

“Okay, old sister, go home and rest first.” Shao Lao said while helping the old lady to go home.

“Oh, the sheep scorpion?” The old lady said as she walked home: “The sheep scorpion is ready to make soup.” After

speaking, the old lady opened her mouth and said, “The sheep scorpion has so many bones that I have lost all my teeth. I can’t chew it, hee hee.” The

old lady was the only one in her house, but seeing that her ears were not good, her mind was still clear, and she was not too confused, and the house was clean.

After Shao Lao came out, Xu Yiman couldn’t help laughing: “This grandma is so cute.”

“Is it cute?” Shao Lao shrugged, “I won’t be like her in the future, I know how to eat in a day…”

“Don’t talk about that.” Shao Lao said to Jiang He, “Do you think this lock can be opened? Jiang He walked over, observed the

keyhole for a few minutes, and said, “It’s not a big problem.”

After saying that, he found a thin wire from the junk on the side. He folded the wire into two pieces, and then folded another piece The iron wire was folded in half, and it was all inserted into the keyhole. After fiddling for about a minute, the door slammed, revealing a gap.

As soon as Mr. Shao entered, he smelled a familiar smell.

“Xu Yiman…” Shao Lao said.

Before Shao Lao finished speaking, he heard Xu Yiman say, “I smell it, the smell of blood, and the special smell of corpses.”

That’s right, there is a corpse on the ground. The corpse was lying beside the coffee table, she was lying on her side on the ground, and a vast pool of blood had already solidified and turned dark red. On the coffee table, on the wall beside the coffee table, a puddle of blood sprayed like someone splashed ink, covering half of the wall.

The blood on the wall has also coagulated at this moment, but before the blood did not coagulate, it used to flow down the wall slowly, like small snakes winding down. Some of these little snakes are long and some are short, with twists and turns.

Jiang He carefully observed the room, and heard the grandma next door say that she once heard the sound of glass breaking. But Jiang He didn’t see the scum of broken glass on the ground. He took a quick step and saw a shard of a glass in the trash can.

That is to say, after the quarrel, someone picked up the broken glass.

Xu Yiman had already started examining the corpse at this time. She took out white gloves from the bag she was carrying, and gently touched the skin of the female corpse with her hands.

“It’s Wang Ziyi, that’s right.” Xu Yiman saw Wang Ziyi’s face, which was exactly the same as in the photo.

“Slightly squeezed the corpse corpse spot, the corpse spot faded slightly, but the original corpse spot did not disappear, which means that the corpse spot is in the diffusion stage. The wound on the neck has a reddish liquid overflowing, which is not easy to wipe off. The stiffness is severe, and the jaw joints are rigid. The cornea of the corpse begins to become cloudy, with slight folds. The muscles have lost their supernatural response.”

At this moment, Xu Yiman’s white gloves were covered with sticky, pale red or even yellowish tissue fluid. , she said to Jiang He, “Take out the tweezers from my bag, my gloves are too dirty.”

Jiang He nodded and turned it over in Xu Yiman’s bag. Jiang He found that Xu Yiman’s bag was basically There are no feminine products, no makeup, no lipstick, eye shadow mess, other than the kind that are reserved for women. This reminded Jiang He of the first time he saw Xu Yiman. Indeed, Xu Yiman never wore makeup, whether at work or in everyday life.

In Xu Yiman’s own words, cosmetics will affect the identification of the scene, such as chemical elements, such as smell, so she never wears makeup.

Her bag contained some gloves, some evidence bags, a mask and small anatomical tools.

Jiang He also took out a pair of gloves and put them on. Then he found tightly wrapped tweezers in his bag and handed them to Xu Yiman.

Xu Yiman took the tweezers and squeezed out a tiny white thing from her neck. Jiang He looked closely and saw that it was a white maggot.

Xu Yiman said: “In autumn, it is estimated that the flies that survived will find the corpse in about half an hour and start laying eggs in the corpse. The conditions here are simple, and flies can easily fly in. In about ten hours, the eggs It can hatch into maggots. You can see that this maggot is still very small, which means that it has just been born. There is no pupa around it, which means that it is a generation of maggots.

” He took off the gloves and put them aside: “Wang Ziyi has been dead for about seventeen hours. Push back, that is, between ten and eleven o’clock last night.”

“As for the cause of death, it should be the wound on the neck.” Xu Yiman continued: “The wound is deep, about five centimeters long, and the flaps are neat. It should have been caused by a commonly used Western-style kitchen knife. The murderer cut her neck directly. The arteries, all the blood sprayed on this wall. I think in about a minute or two, Wang Ziyi was already dead.”

“But there is no knife around.” Jiang He said, “I just observed the house carefully, then Where did the knife go?”

Shao Lao said, “Immediately arrange for the criminal police of the technical department to come to investigate the scene, Xu Yiman, go back and make a detailed autopsy report. Jiang He and I still need to visit and investigate, especially when we heard about it last night. The quarrelsome old lady, perhaps, she is the only witness who witnessed the murderer!”

“Understood.”
