Serious Crime Unit 1

Chapter 176 Accidental Death (16)
Xiao Ke said: "This is a complete secret room, a purely accidental fire. There are countless such fires in China every day. If the serious crime team needs to intervene, adding another 100 million criminal police officers will not be enough."

"I'm worried that Liu Qingyun was killed first, and then accidentally broke out in a fire, thus covering up the truth." Wu Jiang said.

"It's very simple. Perform an autopsy on Liu Qingyun and understand everything." Luo Jin said.

"Zhou Ting, what do you think? You have superhuman intuition. Do you feel that this is an incident or a case?" Jiang Yiming asked. Incidents are different from cases. Before doubts are discovered, people in the industry call them incidents. After doubts are raised, It's called a case.

"Captain Jiang, don't laugh at me. What kind of intuition is that? It's just that I love my father too much, that's why I have this kind of extraordinary telepathy. If we detectives all handle cases based on intuition, I don't know how many people will die unjustly... But , I think we should investigate the scene first and then make a conclusion." Zhou Ting said shyly, he was very concerned about Jiang Yiming asking for his opinion, after all, he had only been in the crime team for a few months and was still very young.

"Okay, let's go to the site now and each go get the guys (exploration tools)."

After a day of investigating the scene, they brought back a lot of information and residues from the scene, especially the largest amount of residues around the center of the fire, which filled two sacks.Don't underestimate these remnants after the fire, but they contain a lot of valuable information. After testing, a real and complete scene can be restored.

They visited Liu Qingyun's old customers. An uncle Liu who often played chess with Liu Qingyun said: There was a big plastic bucket next to the shelf, filled with gasoline. Because there was no gas station nearby, many motorcycle owners would come there. Liu Qingyun buys gasoline in the store, so Liu Qingyun sells bulk gasoline all year round and earns 30% profit from it.

Uncle Liu also said: Liu Qingyun has psoriasis. He likes to drink some wine at noon, and then lie on the shelf beside the shelf while sleeping in the sun. Sunbathing is helpful in treating psoriasis. In addition, he is anemic and is afraid of cold but not heat. , so it has strong heat resistance.

Zhao Xiaowei said that Liu Qingyun started taking sleeping pills recently because she was very anxious. However, she did not have the habit of taking sleeping pills at noon.Zhao Xiaowei was raising her grandson at her son's house and rarely spent time with Liu Qingyun. She didn't understand what he was worried about.

It was signed by the technical department that the cause of the fire was caused by the combustion of n-butane. The fire instantly burned the gasoline barrel. After the gasoline barrel ruptured, it caused a large-scale fire. It only took one second from the explosion of the lighter to the burning of the gasoline barrel. If Liu Qingyun did not escape from the fire within two seconds, he would definitely die!
Luo Jin conducted an autopsy on Liu Qingyun's body and concluded that Liu Qingyun's chest contained a large amount of smoke and dust, there were blisters in his mouth and respiratory tract, and his blood contained a large amount of alcohol and a small amount of amitriptyline hydrochloride and alprazolam.Amitriptyline hydrochloride treats depression and anxiety, and alprazolam has a hypnotic effect. Therefore, the possibility of killing Liu Qingyun first and then destroying the body can be ruled out.

The thing should be like this: Liu Qingyun's frustration in officialdom and family discord caused him anxiety and insomnia, and he drank to drown his sorrows. He drank alcohol and took sleeping pills every day before nap and before going to bed. These two things caused him to sleep too much. When the fire broke out, he had no time to escape and was burned to death by gasoline.

The disposable lighter sold by Liu Qingyun is the Lapsang brand. This brand of lighter is not popular and the quality is not good, so it caused an accidental explosion... Zhao Xiaowei will definitely hold the manufacturer responsible and can get financial compensation from the manufacturer, but That is a civil lawsuit and has nothing to do with the major crimes unit.

Members of the homicide squad concluded that this was an accident.

After coming to this conclusion, Jiang Yiming called Yang Long to report their investigation results. After Yang Long received his call, he was silent for five seconds and said: "Comrade Xiao Jiang, we are the public servants of the people, and we must be meticulous in our work. Otherwise, mistakes will be made. Neither Zhao Xiaowei nor I agree with this result. We hope that you will lead the elites of the serious crime team to conduct in-depth investigations to see if there are any loopholes to be found, such as whether someone deliberately sold inferior lighters to Liu Qingyun? Could it be carefully planned by the murderer? "

"Secretary Yang said it well. We have jumped to conclusions too early. Don't worry, we will continue to investigate in depth according to your instructions!" Jiang Yiming originally wanted to decline politely, but by some strange combination, he actually said something against his will. Is it because he is old? No longer candid?
Why does Yang Long always think this is a murder case?

3. It’s not an accident

The crime team continued to conduct an in-depth investigation into Liu Qingyun's fire case. Xiao Ke and Wu Jiang were not satisfied, thinking that Yang Long was making things up out of thin air and that the labor police would lose money. Although Jiang Yiming felt the same, he still encouraged them to talk less and work hard. , maybe it really was a hidden murder.

Zhou Ting and Lu Yingying objected. They were young, energetic, and seemed to have endless energy. They seemed to be missing something if they had nothing to do.To be honest, I have been in the Crime Unit for a long time, and I have been faced with injuries, mutilated corpses, death, crying, and blood all day long... When I hear about a case, I can't help but feel "shuddered" in my heart. The cruelty of the case is already there. There is a shadow left in their hearts, but they have nowhere to vent it, so they can only accept it.

As usual, they were divided into two groups. The most efficient ones were Wu Jiang and Xiao Ke; the other group was composed of Jiang Yiming, Zhou Ting, and Lu Yingying. Lu Yingying was proficient in computer networks and most of her work was done in front of the computer. She could only be counted as She is half a person, but she likes to go out for visits. Sometimes when watching the video, she wants to smash the screen.

Jiang Yiming's team is responsible for searching for surrounding monitors. Liu Qingyun's shop is called "Waiting for Someone". The name is very creative. Will Liu Qingyun really wait for someone?Who are you waiting for?Could it be related to the fire incident? "Waiting for Individuals" is located next to the remote Yangshan Park. Yangshan Park is actually no longer a park. It has been transformed into a residential area by developers, but the street sign is still called Yangshan Park. There are no traffic monitors around "Waiting for Individuals". Jiang Yiming pinned his hopes on private On the shop.

On the upper right side of "Waiting for Someone" is a row of snack bars, none of which has a monitor installed, and further up is beyond the scope of the monitor. On the lower left side is a store selling vegetables and pork. There are 8 stores in total, and no monitors are installed. Monitors, therefore, the shops in the same row as "Waiting for a Person" do not have monitors.

Opposite "Waiting for Someone" is a new store in Yangshan Community, with a whole row selling clothes, shoes, and accessories.They visited four stores across the street, and the bosses all said they didn't have the habit of installing monitors.

They came to a shoe store called "Miss You". Jiang Yiming explained the reason for their visit. The boss was a young and beautiful girl. When he saw Jiang Yiming and Zhou Ting, he couldn't help but tugged on Zhou Ting's sleeves and called them Sitting down and talking slowly, Lu Yingying winked at Zhou Ting, hinting that he was up to something.Zhou Ting ignored Lu Yingying, but Zhou Ting admitted that with Lu Yingying as a pistachio, work was much easier, and even Captain Jiang liked to be with her.

The boss brought four cups of good ginseng tea. The first cup was given to Zhou Ting, the second cup was given to Jiang Yiming, and the third cup was given to Lu Yingying. Lu Yingying snickered against Zhou Ting's ear and said, "It's good to be handsome. You can enjoy the courtesy of beautiful women." Zhou Ting was not like Xiao Ke who would quarrel with her. He straightened his back and coughed twice, hinting to her that he was serious and that this was work.

"My name is Xiaoying, handsome guy. Just ask whatever you want to ask. I am willing to do whatever you can to help me!" She looked at Zhou Ting. She didn't use "I" but "I" to imply that she was waiting to be married. .

"This is our Captain Jiang. Let him ask you questions. I'm here to learn from him."

"Oh..." Xiaoying seemed a little disappointed.

Jiang Yiming smiled at her and said, "Do you have any monitors installed in your store?"

"Yes, I slept alone in the store at night. I was afraid of thieves... stealing money and sex... so I installed it." Lu Yingying thought: She is like a nympho, to be so honest.

"Great, how long will your videos be kept?"

"Usually one month. Videos take up a lot of space. A 500G hard drive can only hold more than two months' worth of videos at most. I'm used to cleaning it up at the end of every month to free up space for new videos to be loaded in. What's wrong, Officer Jiang?"

"I'm investigating a case and I hope you can provide us with video."

"No problem." Xiaoying stood up, walked to the cashier, turned on the computer, and called up the videos of more than 20 days. Lu Yingying inserted the mobile hard disk into the computer port and copied it. Because copying took a long time, Jiang Yiming told Lu Yingying to watch the videos. While copying, he and Zhou Ting went to other stores to have a look.

They came to a lingerie store called "Xinsi Clothes". The owner was also a woman, a young woman. When they heard that they were police officers, they immediately said that she had saved all the videos for more than three months. They were secretly happy and said they would After removing the computer hard drive and taking it back to the criminal police team, the boss hesitated after hearing this. She thought for a while and said, "Let me copy the contents inside, and then you can take them away."

The boss sat down, opened the hidden folder, entered the password, and deleted the folder directly.Zhou Ting smiled. If we want to see your stuff, it’s useless even if you click to permanently delete or shred the file.

Zhou Ting knew how to remove the computer hard drive. Zhou Ting borrowed disassembly tools from a nearby computer repair shop to dismantle the hard drive.
