Chapter 6 Family members recognize the corpse, it is difficult to finalize the case
The assistant of the forensic team knocked on the door and came in with documents, "Captain Lin, Master asked me to ask you, can the body be handed over to the family?"
Lin Che took the document and paused when the tip of her pen touched the page.
"The family members are here? Where are they?"
"It's arranged in the lounge."
Lin Che closed the document and said, "Old Du, take them along the line of milk bottles to check again. I'll go meet the family members."
In the lounge, Zhou Xinyu's mother had just confirmed the identity of the body and was sitting on a chair, holding a tissue in her hand.
Sitting next to her was a short-haired woman who looked to be in her early 30s. She was very capable. She had her laptop on her lap and her eyes were fixed on the screen. She pursed her lips and had no expression on her face.
"Hello ma'am, this is Captain Lin who is in charge of your daughter's case. He has some questions and wants to ask you about it."
Wang Wan stood up and nodded to Lin Che. Although her eyes were red, she behaved appropriately and did not lose her composure, "Hello, Captain Lin."
"Hello."
Lin Che sat across from the two of them. The short-haired woman raised her head and then lowered her head.
"Captain Lin, it was Xin Yu's death. Is there any problem?"
"Why do you ask?"
Wang Wan choked up and explained, "I just can't figure it out. Xinyu's situation has been stable in the past few years. I thought she wouldn't do stupid things again, but I didn't expect...sigh..."
Wang Wan sighed, "In the final analysis, it's all my fault and her father's fault. If it hadn't been for the lack of love since childhood, Xinyu wouldn't have fallen headlong into it and been bruised all over because of other people's false concern."
"Have you noticed anything unusual in her mood or behavior recently?"
Wang Wan shook her head, "I was thinking about it on the way here, but I really couldn't think of anything unusual. It's all my fault. I was too busy during this period and paid too little attention to her..."
Xu Yang knocked on the door and stood at the door of the lounge, "Captain Lin, grandparents Zhou Xinyu are here."
As soon as Xu Yang finished speaking, Wang Wan stood up with an unnatural expression, "Captain Lin, since Xin Yu's grandparents are here, I'll leave first. I've contacted the funeral home and Xin Yu's body can be taken away.
When the time comes, please let me know."
As he spoke, the short-haired woman next to Wang Wan handed over a business card, which read Yu Huan, secretary to the general manager of Haisen Group.
Before leaving, Yu Huan glanced at Lin Che and stopped talking.
"Captain Lin, do you think that Wang Wan is in a hurry to leave, as if he is afraid of running into Zhou Xinyu's grandparents?"
"If you feel something is wrong, then go check it out."
Zhou Xinyu’s grandparents insisted on visiting their granddaughter first.
Lin Che and Xu Yangcai walked to the door of the forensic room when they heard heartbreaking cries.
When I went in, I saw the old lady lying next to the refrigerator, crying so hard that she could hardly breathe. The old man was holding her by the side, and she was also crying.
Forensic doctor Liang Ke saw Xu Yang trying to persuade him and shook his head at her.
"Such a big blow, let the old man cry." After speaking, Liang Ke nodded to Lin Che as a greeting, and then went to the anatomy room next door to get busy.
After more than ten minutes, the two old men stood up on the ground. Xu Yang quickly went to support them and comforted them, "Grandpa and grandma, let's go to the lounge first."
The old man gently pushed Xu Yang's hand away and asked in a hoarse voice, "Officer, can we take Xin Yu away?"
Xu Yang glanced at Lin Che, and Lin Che said, "Not yet."
"Does the woman disagree?"
"Grandma, are you talking about Zhou Xinyu's mother?"
"What kind of mother is she!"
The old lady became excited and turned to look at the person next to her, "I just said that person was Wang Wan, and you said I was wrong!"
The old lady grabbed Xu Yang's hand and said, "Little girl, you must not leave Xinyu to that woman. She has not even seen Xinyu for so many years. Now that he is gone, she is pretending to be a loving mother?! Do you believe it?"
Grandma, Xinyu is definitely willing to come with us!"
"Don't worry, you two."
Lin Che opened her mouth, invited them to the lounge, and briefly explained the impact of this matter on public opinion. Although the two old men were excited, they were reasonable and said, "So that's it. Then, police officer, just ask, we will cooperate."
"Then let's talk about the divorce of Zhou Xinyu's parents first. You just said that Wang Wan is not her mother. Why did you say that?"
"It was just a matter of anger. It was not one person's fault when they got divorced, it was because their lives couldn't go on anymore." The old lady sighed heavily, "Officer, don't you think it's ironic? They quit their jobs to go into business.
The original intention was to give Xinyu better material conditions, but I didn’t expect that although I made money, my family was gone.”
"So after they divorced, was Zhou Xinyu raised by your son?"
The old man shook his head, "In the divorce agreement, Xin Yu was originally raised by Wang Wan, but Xin Yu was unwilling and insisted on living with the two of us. By that time, they both had a new relationship, and the old house was restored.
It was a room in the school district. After some discussion, they agreed to let Xinyu live with us first, and they have lived here for more than 20 years..."
"Since Xin Yu moved here, Wang Wan has almost never seen her children except to give her money. Even during the years when Xin Yu was suffering from depression, she only arranged for her secretary to come and take a look. How do you think she is a mother?
How cruel! We had a few big fights over this matter, and then we stopped having any contact with her."
"The two elders also know that Zhou Xinyu suffers from depression?"
When she mentioned this, the old lady couldn't hold back her tears again, "Why don't you know that Xin Yu had a hard time in those two years?
Yu, she...this child is the most filial child, how could she be willing to let me and her grandfather give away the white-haired one to the black-haired one!"
As the two talked, their wrinkled faces were covered with tears again.
Lin Che handed over a pack of tissues and continued to ask, "Have you two noticed anything unusual about Zhou Xinyu recently? For example, did you say something strange or do anything unusual?"
The two stopped crying and thought for a while, then looked at each other and shook their heads.
"No, she came back for dinner last week and talked about going abroad to play. She was very happy. She also said that it was getting cold and she wanted to take us on vacation in Hainan..."
The old couple was so sad that they couldn't stop talking about their granddaughter. They held Xu Yang and talked for more than an hour.
-
Discussion room.
"Captain Lin, what do you think we should do now? There is no reason for this suicide, and there is no clue at all for the homicide. People from the Public Opinion Office have urged me twice. How will the case be finalized?"
Lin Che sat aside with her legs on the table and a few pages of the comic in her hand, "Who has read this little feather's work?"
"Me me me!"
Xu Yang raised his hand, "I am a loyal fan and have read every book."
"Are the styles of every book similar to this one?" Lin Che raised the book in her hand and looked at Xu Yang.
"Although this book has a warm ending, the process is actually a little sad. It is only from the second book that Xiao Feather's comics have established a warm and healing style. Especially the latest two chapters, they are simply healing!"
After Xu Yang finished speaking, he muttered softly, "No wonder fans can't accept it. Who can imagine that someone who can draw such a heartwarming story would commit suicide..."
Lin Che's pupils shrank slightly, she glanced at the time, and handed the book to Li Li, "Please list all the people who have been in contact with Zhou Xinyu in the past month. I'll go out."
