Chapter 113 The murderer and the deceased are acquaintances!

Huimin Community is an apartment-style community. Most of the houses in the community are small-sized. Most of the residents living in the community are tenants. There are many strangers coming and going. People living here rarely have familiar neighbors.

When Zhou Zheng arrived with Xia Yan, a long cordon had already been put up outside Building No. 2 of the community, surrounding the inside. Since it was off-duty time and the weather was warm, there were quite a few people walking around in the community. There are many people outside the cordon watching, and they are still whispering.

Ten minutes ago, when Zhou Zheng arrived at the gate of the dormitory area, he happened to see Xia Yan's police car driving over.

"The victim's name was Zhang Chi. He was a car salesman. He didn't go to work today, and the customer was delayed to order a car. The boss came to him angrily. After knocking on the door, but there was no result, he contacted the property management company and found the unlocker. I found the corpse inside." Xia Yan said simply in the car.

"Has the body been moved?" Zhou Zheng frowned.

"It should have been moved." Xia Yan thought for a while, and said: "The boss first saw Zhang Chi lying on the table, thought he was sick, and wanted to wake him up. After getting close to him, he found him. He couldn't breathe, so he quickly called 110."

"So, there is a certain degree of damage at the scene." Zhou Zheng muttered silently. For the corpses that have been touched in this way, it is necessary to restore the situation at that time as much as possible according to the reporter's description and the location of the corpse spots. And the collection of shoe prints may bring some trouble.

"There is no other way. When you encounter such a thing, you need to confirm the status first. It is impossible to call the police directly when you see someone lying on the table. This is not logical." Xia Yan was also very helpless, he understood what it meant, But this kind of thing happens often, and I'm used to it.

……

Zhou Zheng followed Xia Yan and walked towards the 2th floor of Building 11. They just stopped at the door of Unit 3.

"Has the person from the property arrived?" Xia Yan asked a criminal policeman at the door.

"Here we come." The detective nodded and said, "Captain Xia, wait a moment, I'll call him."

After the detective finished speaking, he immediately walked into the apartment building, and soon, he brought a tall and thin man in a suit over.

"This is our Captain Xia." The detective introduced to the thin and tall man.

"Hello, Captain Xia!" The thin and tall man suddenly had a professional smile on his face, stretched out his right hand in a gesture of shaking hands, and said to himself, "I am the property manager of Huimin Community, my surname is Wang, My name is Wang Xitong, you can just call me Xiao Wang, if you have any questions, just ask, I will know everything, and I will talk endlessly."

Zhou Zheng stood aside and looked at the property manager. He looked very enthusiastic and professional. However, this was after all a meeting with the criminal police on the basis of a murder case.

"Manager Wang, how much do you know about the situation of the deceased Zhang Chi?" Xia Yan said directly without any detours.

"I don't know very well either!" Wang Xitong instinctively wanted to evade, and then pulled the conversation back, saying, "I know that his home is in Room 11, Unit 3, Building 202. His home is not a tenant, and the owner is his father. , his father is working out of town, so he can only come back tonight."

"His father is busy enough with work." Xia Yan smiled helplessly and asked, "Where's his mother?"

"It should be divorced." Wang Xitong complained inwardly, wouldn't it be easier for the police to investigate this kind of thing, why bother to ask me?

"There are surveillance cameras in the community, right?" Xia Yan asked again.

"There is surveillance only in the lobby after entering the gate, and there is no surveillance on each floor. Oh, yes, there is also surveillance in the elevator." Wang Xitong replied quickly.

"What's the matter with your access control?" Xia Yan looked towards the door of Unit [-]. The door is open at this time, but there is a large swiping area on the left side of the door, which obviously needs access control, and continued to ask : "Can anyone open it?"

"Yes, this is access control. Only the owners of unit 3 can enter and exit with a card." Wang Xitong nodded and said: "So, our Huimin community is very safe."

"Anything like this happened?" Xia Yan said angrily, and rolled Wang Xi's eyes vigorously, and said, "Don't talk to me about it, I'll just ask you, can you get in if you're not stuck?"

"Hmm... this..." Wang Xitong scratched his head, his eyes flickering slightly.

"Manager Wang, I have to remind you that you are now cooperating with our criminal police in investigating criminal cases. Cooperating with the investigation is the duty and responsibility of every citizen. If you conceal or lie about the report, it will delay the progress of the investigation of the case. , that will bear the corresponding legal responsibility." Xia Yan said in a threatening tone.

"This... this... this... harm!" Wang Xitong sighed heavily, and said, "Except for the unit doors on the front, the safety passages at the back of each building are open, and you can directly enter the fire stairs. "

"Escape passages and fire stairs are not monitored, right?" Xia Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, with an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Yes." Wang Xitong nodded, without saying anything more, the whole person seemed to have lost all confidence.

"The deceased Zhang Chi's house lived on the second floor, even if he climbed the fire stairs, it would not be difficult. It cannot be ruled out that the murderer climbed the stairs." Xia Yan asked in a deep voice.

"Well... that... theoretically... there is such a possibility." Wang Xitong pursed his lips, obviously losing confidence.

"I see." Xia Yan nodded, and then said: "How about this, Manager Wang, help us check the card swiping records of Zhang Chi's access control card, and see when he swiped the card to enter the unit door, and when did he log in. elevator."

"That's no problem." Wang Xitong nodded and said, "I'll investigate right away."

After finishing speaking, Wang Xitong picked up his mobile phone and called his colleague.

"Xiao Zhao, please check the access control card swiping record of the owner of 11, Unit 3, Building 202. You need to match the detailed time, and call me after you check it."

After Wang Xitong hung up the phone, he immediately looked towards Xia Yan, indicating that he had completed Xia Yan's explanation.

Xia Yan didn't say anything more, turned to look at Zhou Zheng, and said, "Let's go and see the scene."

"Ah."

Zhou Zheng nodded, since he entered the unit door of unit 3, he has been looking at the situation here.

In the lobby of the unit door, there is a very eye-catching wide-angle camera, which can capture all the people entering and leaving the unit door.

This camera can be clearly seen outside the unit door.

Anyone who knows a little about this community can know that there is surveillance in the lobby.

So……

Zhou Zheng vaguely felt that climbing the stairs might be the way for the murderer to reach the second floor.

The elevator sounded, and the car door opened. Zhou Zheng followed Xia Yan to the elevator and arrived at the second floor.

"The murderer probably didn't come up by the elevator." Looking at the camera in the elevator car, Xia Yan felt that as long as the murderer wasn't an idiot, he wouldn't be photographed by such obvious things, but after thinking about it, he added: " Even so, the monitoring and checking in the elevator room should not be negligent, if the murderer predicts our prediction, or we overestimate the murderer’s IQ, resulting in omissions in simple places, then the loss outweighs the gain.”

The simpler the place, the more careless it is. This is Xia Yan's experience.

The vast majority of murderers do not have such a high IQ, and they are not so thoughtful when thinking about things, so they are bound to reveal flaws, which also provides clues for criminal investigation work.

These murderers are nervous before planning to kill, and there will be a scene of brain blanking for a short time after killing, which will make them make more mistakes.Even very simple and fatal mistakes.

Of course, there are still some murderers who don’t think that much at all. On the contrary, sometimes it’s a very simple case, because they think a lot, and they end up fighting with the air for a long time, and finally find out that they overestimated the ability of the murderer.

Xia Yan didn't want such a thing to happen, even though he was extremely inclined in his heart that the murderer climbed up the stairs, but who can say for sure about this kind of thing, the surveillance video is still part of the investigation.

Zhou Zheng didn't say anything. After the two walked out of the elevator, they saw the whole picture of the corridor of this apartment.

This is no longer as simple as a few households in one elevator. Of course, this building does not have one elevator, but two elevators. After getting out of the elevator, it is a long corridor with many residents in it.

"It's really an apartment house!"

Zhou Zheng couldn't help sighing when he saw this, the house number he saw was 210, and there was a reminder above the corridor, 201~209 to the left, 211~219 to the right, it looked like a hotel.

"The vast majority of apartment-style houses are like this. There are many small-sized houses on one floor, and each house is next to each other. There are almost no load-bearing walls between each house, and they are all partitioned with wooden boards. The sound insulation effect is particularly good. Bad." Xia Yan said with emotion.

"Captain Xia understands it well?" Zhou Zheng stared at Xia Yan in a daze.

"When I was still in college, I rented an apartment building for a month. I was preparing for the civil servant exam. I thought it would be easier. Who knows, it's hard to describe!" Xia Yan's face was full of helplessness and bitterness.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Zheng didn't understand.

"It's a headache. There are shows every night. People can't read books or sleep. If I didn't pay a month's rent, I don't want to waste it, so I would have moved out a long time ago." Xia Yan shook his head and said.

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the door of Room 202. At this moment, the door was open to the outside, separated by a warning belt, and the inside could be seen from the outside. The area was small, and the end could be seen at a glance. It should be around 35-40 square meters, not more than 40 square meters.

Zhou Zheng asked for a set of disposable shoe covers and gloves from Xia Yan, and after putting them on, he walked into the apartment.

In this small apartment, the overall structure is one bedroom and one living room, but the living room and the kitchen are combined into one, just at the entrance door, and there is a small bathroom in the house.

There is a single bed in the room, and a table is vacated, and a computer is placed on it. At this moment, the computer is turned off.

"When the deceased Zhang Chi was found, he was lying on the table, as if he was asleep." Xia Yan pointed to the position of the writing desk, which is very empty now, and said, "Considering that the body has been moved, we might as well move it to the desk. The body was carried on a stretcher so that the scene could be examined."

"Ah."

Zhou Zheng was not in a hurry to look at the corpse, but walked around the scene, his eyes kept sweeping around, watching the scene carefully.

After being reminded by Professor Fan, he understands that he must always keep his sense of smell. He lacks experience in handling cases, and he needs to make the knowledge he has mastered more easily through more honing, so that he can skillfully control two criminal investigation techniques with different perspectives.

"The deceased's house was small, and he obviously lived alone. There were very few things in the house. The arrangement looked very simple, and there was no sign of searching."

Zhou Zheng was walking and came to the entrance door. He gently pushed the door and looked around.

"The technology of the unlocking company is quite good!"

Zhou Zheng saw that there were only a few extremely fine scratches on the lock hole, and there were no obvious traces. Moreover, there was no sign of prying on the lock.

This shows that the murderer didn't come in by breaking the door!

So……

The murderer probably entered the house with the deceased, or when the murderer came to find the deceased, the deceased opened the door to let the murderer in.

The murderer and the deceased may be acquaintances!

Zhou Zheng realized this immediately. From the scene where there were no corpses, no obvious traces of fighting were found, indicating that everything was carried out in a peaceful state.

This further confirmed his idea that the murderer and the deceased were acquaintances!

Zhou Zheng walked around the house again, and finally his eyes fell on the trash can.

He saw a bread bag and a milk bottle in the trash can, both empty.

"Bring these rubbish back." Zhou Zheng said to the criminal police next to him. He came in a hurry and didn't bring an exploration box or evidence bag.

"Where is the body?"

Zhou Zheng turned to another criminal policeman and asked, there was no blood at the scene, no signs of fighting, and no sign of the door lock being tampered with. Basically, no valid information could be found, and further confirmation was needed through the corpse.

"It's in the room next door." The criminal policeman said, "The room next door happened to have no tenants, and it was in an idle state. It was attached to the property to help rent it out, so it was temporarily requisitioned."

"High-end operation!" Zhou Zheng looked towards room 201 next door, thinking in his heart that the owner of 201 would definitely thank the property owner mercilessly when he knew about it.

"I'm going to see the body."

Zhou Zheng immediately walked towards room 201. Room 201 is located at the end of the corridor. When he passed, he just noticed that when the warning tape was laid, both 201 and 202 had been enclosed.
