Chapter 15 The Case

Duan Kuohai reached out to him and said, "Lao Gu, as you said, this is the jurisdiction of my ninth team. If I don't come, it would be dereliction of duty.

I don’t understand why Team 7 got involved?”

The hairspray man said, "We are the squadron and you are the squad. Our captain said that we should sympathize with your ninth squad, which is weak. If we encounter a case, we, the seventh squadron, should take the initiative.

Besides, based on our friendship, can I not come to help you at the critical moment?

Oh, Vice Captain Qin, he looks so radiant without makeup, tsk tsk, I’m envious.

Old Duan, if it doesn't work out, let me, the deputy squadron leader, and you, the squad leader, change.

What a blessing it is to be able to spend time with such a beautiful person like Vice Captain Qin."

With that said, he stretched out his hand to Qin Bing again.

Qin Bing remained motionless, "Deputy Captain Gu Chun, this is the scene of a crime, and the family of the deceased is so sad. It's not appropriate for you to talk and laugh on the sidelines, both emotionally and rationally."

Gu Chun hit a soft nail and didn't feel embarrassed at all.

The police officer wearing the iron badge took the opportunity to introduce himself. His name was Jia Zhengming, and he was the deputy president of the Chengnan Public Security Society.

Jia Zhengming said, "...Team Qin said that there was a crime scene, which I thought was inappropriate. According to preliminary investigation, there were no signs of fighting at the scene, and it is very likely that the death was caused by natural causes."

Just after Jia Zhengming finished reporting the situation, two men in white coats came out to report the situation.

It was similar to Jia Zhengming's prediction. The cause of death was myocardial infarction. There was no external force and no fatal poison was found. The time of death was 11:30 last night.

Gu Chun clapped his hands, "Since that's the case, there's nothing wrong with us. Lao Duan, let's go together. I'll give you a ride. Our seventh team has a new Ram. You can feel the power.

Feelings?”

Duan Kuohai waved his hand, "I don't have that butt."

"Why, you won't leave?"

"It's your responsibility, don't dare to ignore it."

Duan Kuohai strode toward the master bedroom, followed by Qin Bing and Xu Shu.

When Gu Chun reached the stairs, he stopped.

Duan Kuohai and his party came to the bed and saw a middle-aged man with a big belly lying on the bed. Xu Shu said softly, "The lips are purple, the nails are white, the pupils are dilated on both sides, and there are no scars on the surface. It is indeed myocardial infarction."

sign."

Duan Kuohai returned to the hall, "Mrs. Cao, did General Master Cao say anything before he died?"

Mrs. Cao stopped crying and said, "I haven't been at home these past few days, and I only rushed back after getting the news early in the morning."

"Who found the body first?"

"It's Dongmei. When she delivered medicine to Lao Cao in the morning, she found that Lao Cao had already gone."

"Sending medicine?"

"Lao Cao has always been suffering from heartache. The doctor said he has a bad heart. Lao Cao cherishes his life and always takes medicine regularly according to the doctor's instructions."

"Besides Chief Master Cao, is there anyone else living on the second floor?"

"The maid's room opposite the master bedroom is where Dongmei lives, but Dongmei didn't live there last night."

"Why?"

"Lao Cao had a visitor yesterday. We talked very late. When Lao Cao saw off the visitor, Dongmei had already fallen asleep on the first floor."

"Visitors? How many are there?"

"Two people."

"Are you sure that General Master Cao fell ill after the two visitors left?"

"It was half past ten when the visitor left. The time for Lao Cao to take his medicine in the evening is usually ten o'clock. This time because there was a visitor, Dongmei delivered the medicine to him around eleven o'clock."

Duan Kuohai looked at Jia Zhengming, "Have the drugs been checked?"

Jia Zhengming nodded, "They are all conventional medications and are unlikely to cause illness."

Duan Kuohai frowned and looked at Qin Bing and Xu Shu.

Qin Bing shook his head.

"Old Duan, I thought you could come up with something new, and it's all in vain. Okay, since you protect the food, I won't compete with you."

Gu Chun laughed and led the team downstairs.

Xu Shu said, "Did anyone hear a strange noise last night around 11:30?"

The two maids beside Mrs. Cao shook their heads at the same time.

Xu Shu walked to the bed and gently knocked on the bed board and bedside rails.

In an instant, Jia Zhengming's expression changed, his eyes shone, and he stared at Dongmei and another maid named Xia Zhu, "This is obviously nonsense!

General Master Cao died of myocardial infarction. Before his death, he must have twisted and rolled under the severe pain he endured.

This big mahogany bed makes a banging sound when knocked lightly, but you actually said you didn't hear any movement.

What’s the point of lying in public!”

Dongmei and Xiazhu's bodies were like chaff. Mrs. Cao said, "It's the third watch in the middle of the night. They have been tired for the whole day. It's normal for them to be so sleepy that they can't hear."

She had a weak relationship with Colonel Cao Guang. Now that Colonel Cao Guang is dead, she doesn't feel much sadness. She just hopes that the government officials will leave soon and not cause any trouble.

Jia Zhengming sneered, "Mrs. Cao, don't talk nonsense before I ask you. Do you have something to hide?"

Mrs. Cao turned pale with fright and waved her hands repeatedly.

"Dongmei, Xia Zhu, you have been working as servants for more than a day or two, and you have to prick up one ear even when you sleep.

How could you not hear what Chief Master Cao was doing upstairs? Could it be that Chief Master Cao was killed by a conspiracy between you two?"

Jia Zhengming has been a police officer for more than ten years and has rich experience. He knew there was something to dig in Dongmei and Xiazhu just by looking at them.

With a plop, Xia Zhu fell to his knees and said, "It's none of my business, it's none of my business, it's Cao Xing. Cao Xing came back last night, and he, he threatened us, saying that if we dare to speak out, he will scratch our faces.

We were not downstairs at the time, and were driven to the woodshed by Cao Xing, so we couldn't hear anything going on upstairs."

Jia Zhengming was overjoyed and asked, "Who is Cao Xing?"

"The male workers in the family are usually responsible for carrying water and firewood and taking care of the garden."

Dongmei quickly reported, "Yesterday at eleven o'clock, shortly after I served the master to take the medicine, Cao Xing came. He had a wound on his face and a sharp bone-picking knife in his hand, and forced Xia Zhu and I outside.

Woodshed.

Xia Zhu and I waited until daybreak before we dared to go out. We found that our house had been stolen. Several pairs of silver candlesticks and some gold and silverware were lost.

Then, we went upstairs to find the master, and then we found that the master was dead."

"Be bold!"

Jia Zhengming shouted angrily, "If you dare not report such important information, you are clearly committing a crime together."

Dongmei and Xiazhu kowtowed for mercy.

Jia Zhengming sent people to interrogate Dongmei and Xia Zhu separately, and at the same time sent people to arrest Cao Xing.

Half an hour later, the roar of an engine came from outside the window, and soon after, dense noises came from the stairs.

However, Gu Chun and his entourage left and came back again.

"As expected, this case is not simple."

Gu Chun just stepped into the hall and said with a touch of oil, "Old Duan, you have been holding on for long enough. Go back and have a rest. Leave the rest to me."

Duan Kuohai said, "Lao Gu, we are all sensible people, so stop talking nonsense. Let me remind you, don't break the rules."

Gu Chun chuckled and said, "Whoever breaks the rules is doing things for the station."

While the two were talking, Xu Shu came upstairs and said, "The confessions are consistent. The suspicions of Dongmei and Xia Zhu can be eliminated."

When Jia Zhengming sent people to examine winter plums and summer bamboos separately, he patrolled back and forth between the two places to keep abreast of the trends.

Jia Zhengming said with a hint of sadness, "I'm afraid Cao Xing is not a big suspect. He is just a domestic thief who is looking for money.

Moreover, the concentric lock used in the master bedroom can only be opened violently unless the owner opens it.

However, the lock cylinder showed no signs of damage."

Gu Chun frowned, "Could it be the two visitors last night who committed the crime?"

Jia Zhengming said, "The two visitors came around seven or eight o'clock, and before ten-thirty, the two guests left one after another.

At eleven o'clock, Dongmei personally helped Cao Guang take the medicine.

The time of death of Colonel Cao Guang was at half past eleven.

The suspicion of those two visitors can certainly be ruled out."

Gu Chun patted the window sill and said, "Damn it, all the fussing and fussing is still in vain."

Xu Shu asked Qin Bing in a low voice, "Why is the guy named Gu so looking forward to the murder?"

Qin Bing whispered, "Because merit is so important to the Extraordinary Team. If you have merit, you will have merit points.

If nothing else, if there is a murder case this time and it is solved by our ninth team, your rank will be honored immediately."

"What!"

Xu Shu's eyes lit up, "Vice President Jia, although the two visitors can rule out suspicion, as the last few people who saw General Master Cao before the incident, no matter what, they must be brought in for questioning."

Jia Zhengming glanced at Xu Shu and looked at Duan Kuohai, "Captain Duan, who is this?"

Gu Chun chuckled, "It seems his name is Xu Shu, and he has a name in the ninth team. I heard he is still a white person. Old Duan, you are the first of its kind. This is the first time a white person has appeared in a team like ours, haha..."

"You are paying close attention to our ninth team. I said there have been a lot of thieves and rats in our office these days."

Duan Kuohai flicked the cigarette ashes in his hand and said, "Vice President Jia, Xu Shu's request is my request. You must cooperate."

"yes!"

Jia Zhengming stood at attention and replied, "I've been looking for him for a long time. I believe it won't take long before I find him."

Xu Shu asked Qin Bing in a low voice, "Jia Zhengming is the best, Lao Duan is the second, and Lao Duan is one level higher. Why did Lao Jia react like this?"

Qin Bing rolled her eyes at Xu Shu, "What department are we in?"

Xu Shu became interested, "You mean, I can show off my power with that work permit in the future?"

"You'd better not whisper if you don't have to."

Qin Bing poured a ladle of cold water.

At this moment, the sound of bicycles clanging could be heard outside the window, and not long after, the sound of dense footsteps came.

A police officer wearing a lead badge tried his best to move his round body upstairs, breathing heavily. Jia Zhengming became anxious and reprimanded him, "If you don't say anything, I will never let you breathe again."

The fat Sheriff gasped and said, "It's confirmed...Cao Xing, together with two thieves, broke into Cao's house last night and stole three silver candlesticks and bronze ornaments..."

Jia Zhengming couldn't listen anymore, "What nonsense, bring people here."

Soon, the three thieves were escorted up. All three of them had injuries on their faces, showing that they had suffered a lot.
