Attending ex-girlfriend's wedding, arresting the groom's officer on the spot

Chapter 1164 Falling from the Building
The entire Xingfuli community was in an uproar.

Everyone was either enjoying the cool in the yard or upstairs. When they heard someone shouting that someone had jumped off a building, they would either run over to see what was happening or stretch their necks to look down from their own windows.

The property staff arrived quickly and called the police immediately.

The handling of cases of jumping from buildings is generally not particularly complicated.

However, this is not something that an ordinary police station can handle, because cases of jumping from buildings require identification of whether the person is committing suicide.

This requires two steps, the first of which is to investigate the crime scene.

By investigating the crime scene, we can determine whether the person who was self-examining jumped off the building voluntarily, or whether he was coerced or instigated, etc.

In addition, the forensic doctor needs to examine the body to determine the cause and time of death of the deceased.

Although the appearance of the body caused by falling from a building and other reasons may be the same, problems can still be found after autopsy.

Although Lu Chuan and his colleagues had never encountered such a case, the High-tech Zone Criminal Police Brigade had handled 30 similar high-altitude falling cases in the past. However, they were all false falling cases that were used to cover up other forms of death.

Lu Chuan was having dinner when they received a call from the police center.

Wang Zhaokai's people must be present at the scene. As the deputy director in charge of this aspect, Lu Chuan will not eat anymore even if Wang Zhaokai and others are present.

I've almost finished eating anyway.

Since there is a case, the Tianshan District Branch suggested that today's gathering be cancelled and we gather again next time.

This is what it’s like to be a criminal policeman. When there’s a case, no matter what you do, even if it’s a big deal, you have to put it aside and rush to solve the case.

Fortunately, no one had drunk any alcohol, so Wang Zhaokai, Lu Chuan and others went straight to the crime scene from the dinner table.

"Have you notified the medical examiner and the on-site investigator?"

Lu Chuan asked.

Wang Zhaokai nodded and said, "Everyone has been notified. They are on their way. The forensic doctor is still working overtime. The on-site investigators at home need to rush to the Criminal Police Brigade to get the relevant equipment before coming here."

According to the normal case handling process, if it is determined that the other party committed suicide, the police will notify the family and there will be no need for the police to intervene in subsequent matters.

During this process, the police will collect relevant information such as videos, photos, suicide notes, etc. of the deceased jumping off the building.

In addition, the forensic identification results must also be consistent with the results of the on-site investigation.

But if other problems are discovered during the investigation, the police will intervene quickly.

There have been many cases of high-profile crimes in recent years, and there are 45 cases of suicide by jumping off buildings every year. This is only within the jurisdiction of the High-tech Zone Criminal Police Brigade.

If we look at it across the entire city, this proportion has increased significantly.

Wang Zhaokai and his colleagues are quite experienced in handling such cases.

In addition to situations such as suicide at high places, being killed and pushed off buildings, there are several other more special situations.

One is the crime of incitement to suicide, which can be said to be extremely serious and can generally be considered as intentional homicide in criminal proceedings.

In addition to this type, there is another type, which is suicide by pact.

In Haizhou City, suicide pacts are relatively rare, but there are many similar cases across the country.

Two people who have lost confidence in life or for some other reason agree to commit suicide together. This is called a suicide pact. It is said that this method of suicide is very popular in a neighboring island country. It happens almost every day, and the number of people who commit suicide together can even break the world record.

However, those who attempt suicide through a suicide pact are generally not held criminally responsible.

Of course, Lu Chuan and his team have never encountered this type of case, and the High-tech Zone Criminal Police Brigade has never encountered it before.

When Lu Chuan, Wang Zhaokai and others arrived at the scene, police officers from the local police station had already set up a cordon and the area was surrounded by residents of the community.

The scene was quite tragic.

The floor from which the four fell must have been quite high, and the bodies at the scene were smashed to pieces.

Many of the people watching around were retching as they watched.

Many people brought their children here at the beginning, but now they have taken their children away.

Now they are all brave ones.

The forensic doctor arrived at the scene shortly after Lu Chuan and Wang Zhaokai arrived. Since the on-site investigation had not yet arrived, Lu Chuan took charge personally.

The person who reported the case was a deputy manager of the property, who was on duty here tonight.

After this happened, I called the police immediately.

"Hello, police officer. I am the deputy manager of the property management of this residential complex. After we called the police, we immediately asked the monitoring room to check the surveillance. There happened to be two cameras facing their building. One of the cameras captured the entire falling process."

This property manager has rich work experience and has been working in property management for more than 20 years. He has encountered similar things before when he was serving in other communities.

When someone falls from a building, the police will generally investigate whether there is any relevant surveillance nearby.

So after the property manager discovered this, the first thing he did was to call the police, and the second thing he did was to ask the monitoring room to check the surveillance footage.

Xingfuli Community can be said to be a high-end community, with relatively complete internal surveillance and relatively good public facilities. Basically, there are surveillance cameras at the entrance of each building.

Moreover, the yard is basically covered by surveillance without blind spots. This building is located in the center of the entire community. There are intersections on both sides of the building facing the garden, and each intersection has two surveillance cameras shooting at each other.

One of the two cameras was facing the left side of the building and recorded the entire view of the building.

"Director Lu, the person jumped from the 13th floor, but we didn't rush up. We have asked the property management to check the relevant owners' information."

The police station chief who arrived at the scene was named Zhang Qiang, and he was also an acquaintance of Lu Chuan.

He and Wang Zhaokai were classmates.

After they received the call, they arrived at the crime scene in less than 5 minutes. Although they did not watch all the relevant surveillance videos, they had already understood some of the circumstances.

Without wearing white gloves, squatting next to the corpse.

While listening to Zhang Qiang and others' report, he conducted a preliminary examination of the body.

Death from a high-speed fall will cause the body to have some characteristics that are different from other normal deaths.

For example, internal injuries, external injuries, fractures and bleeding, etc.

Generally speaking, falling from a height can cause serious damage to the deceased's internal organs due to the huge impact force. The heart, liver, spleen, and lungs may all be shattered under the huge impact force.
