Wrongful Death Criminal Investigation

Chapter 115 8

Mingtang went to Bihu Mountain Villa to conduct a visit and investigation.

There are more than 100 single-family villas in Bihu Villa.

There are four exits for cars in and out of the community: east, west, north, south.

The east gate is the main gate, and outside is the artificial lake where the corpse was found.

Their community is also divided into regions. People in different regions generally choose to leave near the exit of their own villas.

Cao Yuan's house is close to the east gate, so he usually leaves through the east gate.

After discovering that Cao Le was missing, when Liu Xiaona called the police, the police interviewed these people, so the sub-bureau still has very detailed interview and investigation records.

Because everyone is a single-family villa, the neighbors don't have much contact with each other. Even after living in the community for a few years, they may not even know what the neighbors look like.

Live here, just because the environment here is better.

Therefore, during the visits at that time, there were no useful clues from the visits.

As for their nanny, the nanny cleans and cooks every day.

I didn't see anyone for a few days, so I thought it was a trip.

She didn't know that her employer's son was missing until school started on National Day and her classmates came to her home.

But at that time, the police came to investigate again, and there was no clue at home.Maybe there used to be clues, but they were all destroyed by the nanny.

The mobile phone and wallet are all at home, and the monitoring of the community has eliminated the problem.

After all investigations, Cao Le was not found.

Two months later, the case sank.

After all, the police also have many cases to deal with every day.It is impossible to waste energy on a disappearance case all the time, and the case can only be transferred to the backlog team.

Mingtang and the others found the policeman who was in charge of the disappearance at the time and learned about the basic situation.

As long as they had useful information at that time, Cao Le would not have been discovered after soaking in the lake for two years.

Then, we can only look for clues from the community entry and exit records and security guards.

Qiu Shaoyang and Mingtang agreed that the Cao family was the first scene where Cao Le was killed.

Therefore, they came to the door with physical evidence.

Cao Yuan is not at home, only Liu Xiaona is at home.

Liu Xiaona saw them coming to the door and welcomed them into the house.

Ming Tang explained his intentions: "Since Cao Le disappeared, have you changed the pillows and blankets in your family? Or lost them?"

Liu Xiaona shook her head: "No, I just changed the outer quilt cover and pillowcase."

Mingtang said: "If you don't mind, we would like to take samples away. Except for your own daily use, we have to take the rest back for archiving until the results of our investigation come out. After the investigation is over, all of them will be collected. Return it to you."

Liu Xiaona nodded in agreement.

It is very simple to know whether the Cao family is the scene of the first crime. You only need to check whether the ingredients in the pillows and bedding here are the same as the fiber substances in Cao Le's mouth and nose.

If it is fast, the results can be compared in one day, and if it is slow, it will take a few days.

After the witnesses collected the evidence, they hurried back to make comparisons.

Mingtang and the others walked around the community.

The security guards they questioned back then were still working as security guards in the community.

The community security guards here are generally middle-aged, or even highly educated, because this is a high-end community after all.

The quality of security here is particularly high, and basically the image is very good.

They happened to be walking with the property manager, so Qiu Shaoyang asked the property manager what the security guards on their side were treated for.

The manager said: "The requirement is a college degree, the monthly leave is four days, the salary is [-] a month, and the working time is eight hours a day."

"Wow."

Both Qiu Shaoyang and Mingtang were a little surprised.

Even Qiu Shaoyang's parents left him a villa with a market value of hundreds of millions, and the security guard didn't require a college degree.

The manager told them: "After all, we are in a high-end residential area. Naturally, we must keep up with the conditions in all aspects. Most of the owners who live here are rich people. People who come to visit them, It is likely that they are also elites, so our security guards can't disgrace the owner, right?"

Qiu Shaoyang felt that what he said was very reasonable, so he asked him: "Then you can afford a security guard with a salary of [-] a month, and you don't know how to change the water in the artificial lake outside? The oldest corpse has been soaked for five years. It’s been six years. When your owners open the window every morning and see twelve corpses soaking in the artificial lake outside the gate, do you think they will have psychological shadows?”

"Why don't you ask about the psychological shadow area of ​​your owners."

The manager was stunned speechless: "..."

But Qiu Shaoyang didn't say a word wrong.

The only problem is that it's a bit nosy.

But they came with the police.

What happened now was the artificial lake in their community and the owners of their community.

Even though Qiu Shaoyang's words were not pleasant, the manager had no choice but to listen.

To put it mildly, he found a dead body in the artificial lake.

On a larger scale, there is also the body of his owner, which means that there is a big problem with the security of their community.

One can die today, and the next one can die tomorrow.

If it goes on like this, who else would dare to live in this community.

What kind of high-end neighborhood can be considered.

Looking at it from a small perspective, it means that their community is empty.

Looking at the big picture, it directly affects the investors behind their community.

Once it rises to the level of the company, the losses caused are absolutely immeasurable.

There are a total of 30 security guards in the community divided into 3 shifts a day, with 10 people in each shift going to work.

There is a security guard at each exit during each shift.

And each district also has a dedicated security booth.The other two security guards are in charge of the monitoring room.

So such a configuration is quite reasonable.

It's just that under such a configuration, the owner of the community is still dead, which means that there is a big security risk in this community.

According to the schedule at that time, Qiu Shaoyang and the others found all the security guards who were on duty in the East District during the National Day period.

No problems were found in the registration of the entry and exit records of the community.

That is to say, if it is confirmed that Cao Le's death was at home, it means that an acquaintance committed the crime, and the security guards in front of him are also suspected of committing the crime.

So Ming Tang divided them all up, questioned them one by one, and asked them to show their alibi.

Since Cao Le died during the National Day two years ago, the specific date of his death can only be based on the date provided by the nanny.

Liu Xiaona reported the case on the 8th, and the first time the nanny found out that Cao Le was not at home was the morning of the 5th, and she left after finishing dinner at 4 o'clock in the evening on the 4th the day before, that is to say, the time of Cao Le's death, Probably from the night of the 5th to before the [-]th.

According to the food residue in the stomach, the autopsy issued by the forensic doctor proved that he died between three and four hours after the meal.

Then the approximate time of Cao Le's death was between 4:9 p.m. and early morning on the [-]th, because the nanny could not determine the exact time of her departure, nor the time of Cao Le's meal.

The door locks of their house showed no signs of violent damage.

A high school student who is alone at home late at night, the person who can open the door is someone he knows well.

Then the biggest possibility is that people in the community committed the crime.

In it, they also added a question.

That is, do you know who in this community has a closer relationship with Cao Le?

If the relationship is not close to the person, Cao Le will most likely not open the door.

After passing such a conditional screening, a security guard appeared in their field of vision.

This security guard is called Su Mian.

I am only 29 years old this year, and my undergraduate degree is programming.

So Mingtang called Su Mian over and interrogated him alone.

Ming Tang: "Where were you on the night of October 10th the year before last?"

Su Mian said, "I don't remember clearly."

Mingtang looked at the schedule: "You didn't go to work that night."

Su Mian: "If I didn't go to work, then I would most likely be playing games in the dormitory."

Su Mian said, "I'm an Internet-addicted teenager. I spend most of my spare time playing games."

Ming Tang: "It's said that you have a good relationship with the man called Cao Le who was fished out of the lake a few days ago?"

Su Mian nodded: "It's really not bad. I play games well, and he also likes games. I often take him to score or something."

"So that's how it is." Mingtang asked: "But your roommate said that you were not in the dormitory at that time."

Su Mian said: "Sometimes, I also go to the bar to drink or something. After all, I am an adult. I need to relax once in a while."

Mingtang felt that it was not unreasonable.

Qiu Shaoyang didn't see any major problems either.

Su Mian called up the game to show them her ranking.

Both Qiu Shaoyang and Mingtang don't play games very well, so they don't really understand this. Since he says he is very good, let's regard him as good.

Seeing that the two of them lacked interest, Su Mian exited the game interface.

Before he turned off the screen, Ming Tang narrowed his eyes slightly.

He calmly sent a message to Qiu Shaoyang.

Qiu Shaoyang took a look at the phone, and said to Mingtang: "I will borrow your phone, my phone is out of battery, I'll go out and call Chen Yanjia, and ask him to check something for me."

Mingtang handed his mobile phone to Qiu Shaoyang.

Qiu Shaoyang left directly.

After going out, he did call Chen Yanjia, but he used his mobile phone to call Chen Yanjia.

The content of the message Mingtang sent him is as follows.

Take my phone away and ask Chen Yanjia to check Su Mian's consumption records.

Qiu Shaoyang knew that Ming Tang asked him to do this because he had made a new discovery, and this discovery would most likely require him to confirm it with Su Mian's mobile phone, so he asked himself to take his mobile phone away.

Su Mian noticed that Qiu Shaoyang had unlocked Mingtang's phone with his fingerprint before leaving the room, so he was a little curious about the relationship between the two, no matter how good they were, it was impossible for the other party to unlock his phone. That means, no more secrets.

"You and the one who just went out, are you a couple?"

Mingtang raised his eyebrows.

Su Mian looked at him expectantly.

Ming Tang nodded and admitted: "Yes, he is my boyfriend."

Su Mian snorted, "It looks like you two are very affectionate."

Mingtang asked him: "How did you see that?"

Su Mian said: "You can't hide the eyes you like when you look at someone, and the two of you seem to keep your eyes on each other all the time, always pay attention to each other's movements."

Mingtang said meaningfully: "You observe very meticulously."

"He took my mobile phone away, can you lend me your mobile phone? I want to call another colleague of mine."

Without thinking too much, Su Mian unlocked her phone and handed it to Ming Tang.

After Mingtang took it, he flipped through it, saw what he wanted to see, and asked Su Mian suspiciously, "Where is the person you called? Why didn't I see it?"

Su Mian had no doubts about him, so she pointed to him, "It's in the lower right corner."

Mingtang made a dazed expression: "Hey, I usually put it on the top, so I didn't notice it."

Su Mian smiled: "Normal, everyone has their own habits."

Mingtang called Lu Changfeng and told him: "I asked people to take samples from Cao Le's house and go back for comparison. You tell them to go faster, what kind of thing? It's the things in the pillow and quilt, you urge them, Make it out as soon as possible, and give it back to others when you’re done.”

After hanging up the phone, Ming Tang returned the phone to Su Mian.

Su Mian put away her phone.

Mingtang said: "You can go out now, call the next one to come in."

Su Mian left.

Ming Tang looked at his back, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Qiu Shaoyang didn't go far, he went in when he saw Su Mian coming out.

Ask Mingtang: "What did you find in his mobile phone?"

Ming Tang used the app store to search for Qiu Shaoyang.

It's gay dating software.

It is not so much a dating software as a dating software.

Qiu Shaoyang looked at Mingtang with strange eyes: "So, why do you know this software?"

Mingtang immediately put down the phone, his back felt cold: "I haven't used it, I swear to God, it's just people in this circle, even if they don't use it, they still know something."

"Oh, really?"

Mingtang held Qiu Shaoyang's hand: "You have to trust me."

Qiu Shaoyang snorted: "Let's just believe you."

Even if Mingtang really used this software, it was before he dated him, and he has no position to get angry.

Mingtang: "I'm a person who is more dedicated to feelings, so I never use this kind of software, and I don't even go to bars. You and I have known each other for so long, and you should know what kind of person I am. .”

Qiu Shaoyang kissed Mingtang's lips: "Okay, I know. I believe you too."

Mingtang kissed Qiu Shaoyang's hand.

After asking the people behind, Chen Yanjia's children's consumption records also came out.

Mingtang sent a record to Qiu Shaoyang.

There are several bars whose names Ming Tang is very familiar with.

When they investigated Xu Shuwen's case before, they investigated these bars, so when they saw these bars, Ming Tang directly confirmed his guess.

At that time, he deliberately called Lu Changfeng to talk about the pillow in front of Su Mian, and also wanted to test his reaction.

But I didn't find it at the time, the high probability is that his acting skills are better.

Now they can confirm with 100% that Su Mian is gay.

Well, they have a good relationship, they play games together, Su Mian's hobby is male, and Cao Le is smothered to death, all these things are connected.

It's hard not to suspect that Su Mian was responsible for Cao Le's death.

So they found Liu Xiaona again and asked Su Mian if she had been to their house.

The answer Liu Xiaona gave was no.

At least not when she was at home.

Ming Tang said that he wanted to go into Cao Le's room to have a look.

Liu Xiaona didn't stop her, and took them there. She told them: "The room is basically the same as before, and I just come back occasionally to clean it."

Mingtang said: "Then let's take a random look and try to help you stay in place."

Liu Xiaona said yes.

Mingtang said: "I'm asking a question that may be a bit offensive. If you don't want to answer, you don't have to answer."

Liu Xiaona looked at him.

Mingtang: "Are you aware of Cao Le's sexual orientation?"

"What do you mean?" Liu Xiaona didn't understand.

Mingtang glanced at Qiu Shaoyang, and Qiu Shaoyang nodded to him, meaning that he could ask directly.

Ming Tang: "It's just whether Cao Le has shown that he likes men, or that he is not interested in girls."

Liu Xiaona froze for a moment, and didn't even understand why Ming Tang had such an idea.

She said: "Then I don't know. Although our relationship is very good, it is not so good that we can spend our private life."

"Also, if a boy knows that he likes a man, he probably won't take the initiative to tell his family, especially at such a young age."

That is indeed.

Ming Tang apologized for his abruptness.

Liu Xiaona shook her head.

Qiu Shaoyang and Mingtang looked inside to see if there were any clues, and Liu Xiaona went downstairs first.

Qiu Shaoyang and Mingtang asked for a pair of gloves, turned on the computer on the desktop, but found nothing else on the desktop.

Open the browsing history of the web browser, I don't know if it has never been browsed or what is going on, the browser history is clean.

Looking inside the disk again, there is nothing to prove it.

Qiu Shaoyang shook his head.

No matter the books on the bookshelf, there is nothing special to discover.

So it's hard to say what Cao Le's sexual orientation is.

With no new discoveries, they left Cao's house together.

In the car.

Mingtang asked Qiu Shaoyang, "How likely do you think it is Su Mian?"

Qiu Shaoyang thought carefully for a while.

"50%, it's really hard to say, at least I don't see any problem with him." Qiu Shaoyang said: "You can't judge him and Cao Le's death just because he likes men and he has a close relationship with Cao Le. related."

Ming Tang felt the same way.

"But how do we prove that he is or is not the murderer."

Qiu Shaoyang stretched out his hand and pushed Ming Tang's head: "Are you stupid?"

"Let him produce an alibi."

Mingtang said: "It's really stupid."

He could start to get confused about this most basic question.

"If you can't produce an alibi, then there is a lot of suspicion."

Mingtang nodded.

The two returned to the team and joined Lu Changfeng and the others.

They went to visit the school today.

The teachers all said that Cao Le had a good temper and got along well with everyone else, and he didn't have conflicts with anyone in school.

The teacher also gave them a list.

According to the list, they contacted those people.They are all people who have a good relationship with Cao Le.

These people also said that Cao Le was a very nice person and had never had any conflicts with anyone.

The relationship circle in weekdays is not complicated.

During the National Day, most of the students went out to play everywhere, so they didn't have much contact with Cao Le.

But according to them, Cao Le often played games during the National Day, saying that he wanted to play ranked during the National Day.

So the online time of his game is relatively long during the National Day.

They got Cao Le's game account from their classmates.

Cao Le's account has not been logged in for two years.

When Qiu Shaoyang saw this game account, he immediately thought of Su Mian's words.

The two of them often play games together.

So, Su Mian didn't go to work that night, and Cao Le was at home alone, would Cao Le invite Su Mian to his house to play games together?

The answer is obviously possible.

Qiu Shaoyang said: "Zha Sumian and Cao Le's game login IP address on the night of October 10th of the previous year."

If the IP addresses are the same, it means that they were indeed together that night.

Chen Yanjia immediately went to check. Of course, this IP address is not so easy to check, so I have to provide the account numbers of the two of them with the game company, so that the game company can help check it.

People from the game company said that after the relevant colleagues go to work, the investigation will be sent to their mailboxes.

They also don't like this kind of finishing touch.

Qiu Shaoyang said: "Then don't wait, check their mobile phone location at that time."

In terms of applying what he has learned, Qiu Shaoyang is definitely the ultimate little genius.

A few days ago, they used this method to locate the place where Yan Hanlin's cell phone signal finally disappeared.

Chen Yanjia said: "The approximate range of the location is the same, because the two of them are not using the same operator's signal, there must be a slight error, but it can be proved that Su Mian was near Cao Le's home that night."

In fact, saying so, they have a bottom line in their hearts.

Because Su Mian didn't go to work that night, and he told Ming Tang that he usually played games in the dormitory, and if he wasn't in the dormitory, he would also be in the bar, and there was no bar that had his consumption records that night.

Several people looked at each other, and they basically had the same idea.

Mingtang said: "When the IP record from the game company is sent tomorrow, we can arrest people directly."

It was getting late, and everyone went home from get off work to rest.

After returning home, Mingtang hugged Qiu Shaoyang and kissed him again and again, and asked him, "What did you eat to grow up, and why are you so smart?"

Qiu Shaoyang said, "Eat."

"Then you must be chased by God to feed you."

"I told you before, there is no need to compare with me."

Mingtang: "It can't be compared."

Qiu Shaoyang comforted him: "What's mine is yours. I'm yours now. What else do you care about?"

Mingtang thought about it, and it was true.

"Snack?" Ming Tang felt a little hungry.

Qiu Shaoyang shook his head: "You eat, I don't eat, I really gained a lot of weight."

In the end, he still couldn't hold back, and shared a bowl of noodles with Ming Tang.

Seeing the weight after the scale, Qiu Shaoyang burst into tears.

Mingtang came back after washing the dishes, and comforted him: "You need to have some meat, so you can develop your abdominal muscles."

Qiu Shaoyang: "Stop lying."

Mingtang: "I won't lie to you, really. You don't have any meat on your body, and you're trained to be a bone-bone master, which doesn't look good. And you're like this, isn't it pretty good?"

Mingtang pinched Qiu Shaoyang's face: "It's full of fireworks."

When he first met Qiu Shaoyang, Qiu Shaoyang looked very otherworldly.
