"What's the situation?" The two police officers moved away from the yellow line. Qiao Xue and Tom entered the door together and walked up the narrow passage stairs. At the same time, Tom also asked questions to the police officer behind him. ¡°It looks terrible. I feel very bad about this case.¡± The police officer spoke and guided the two people to the third floor. This is a building that is very similar to some pigeon buildings in China. Narrow passages connect the four floors, and there is only one narrow passage on each floor. There are four families living on the first floor, and each family's room is very small, only about fifteen square meters. Arriving at the room on the third floor, Qiao Xue and Tom had already put on gloves. They saw a police officer standing at the door of a room, and the two of them walked over. Opening the door, Qiao Xue had an unobstructed view of this narrow room. There is a bed on the left side of the main entrance of the room. Above the bed is a shrine, in which a Tathagata Buddha is enshrined. On the right side of the main entrance is a computer, a wardrobe and some simple toiletries. And on the floor of the room, there was a body lying on its back. There was a simple and beautiful knife stuck in the chest of the corpse. The handle of the knife was carved with many patterns and some very difficult to decipher words. "The deceased was a 38-year-old Asian male. He did not have a residence permit and must have lived illegally. Neighbors said his name was 'ying chest?hao'. You have also seen the fatal injuries. The knife on the chest was really deep. Death Time he should have been dead for about three days." After a brief introduction, the police officer gave way to the passage. Qiao Xue and Tom entered the scene and took a brief look at the surrounding environment. He lowered his head and looked at the body on the ground. Qiao Xue squatted on the right side of the body. He looked carefully at the murdered man. There was still a hint of panic on his face. Do you feel incredible that you are about to die? There is blood on his hands. But it looks like it should be his own blood. The murderer released his hand after stabbing him in the chest with the knife, and he instinctively held the handle of the knife on his chest and fell backward. "The technique is clean and neat, without any sloppiness. It seems that the person doing the job is a veteran." Qiao Xue nodded and agreed with Tom's analysis. She looked at the knife inserted into the body and said, "This knife should penetrate directly into the heart. After the stabbing, the murderer released his hand directly without pulling out the knife to prevent blood from splattering on his body. Then " Qiao Xue turned her head, closed the door to the room slightly, and looked behind the door. "The murderer then pulled up the door so that the victim inside could not escape and had to wait for death gradually. The victim had some bloody fingerprints on the back of the door. It should have been when he banged on the door desperately and tried to escape but couldn't. "Stay here." After saying these words, Qiao Xue returned to the knife again. After examining it carefully, she couldn't help but frown. "What's wrong?" Tom asked. Qiao Xue shook her head. Said: "This knife is very strange. It is not a fruit knife or a folding knife that can be bought in ordinary stores. It looks it should be very expensive." Tom also squatted over. He looked at the murder weapon carefully. "It does look quite valuable. Hey, have you finished the preliminary forensic examination?" The on-site evaluator next to him nodded. At that moment, Tom reached out and grasped the handle, and slowly pulled it out from the victim's chest. "Is this a hidden knife?" Qiao Xue looked at the blood-stained weapon and said hesitantly. "Tibetan knife? What is this?" Faced with Tom's question, Qiao Xue nodded and said: "This is a kind of knife unique to Tibetans, a minority in China. Generally speaking, Tibetan knife is divided into It's a long knife and a waist knife. Judging from the length of this knife, it should be considered a waist knife. Why did the murderer use such a special weapon to kill? Judging from the killing method, this person should not be that kind of person. Someone who randomly picked up a weapon to kill someone in a hurry. "Tom looked at the weapon with a handle made of cow horn, frowned, and said, "So, this must be some kind of organized crime? Is this person being targeted by a gang? Then the other party uses this kind of hidden knife to warn others with his death? " Qiao Xue nodded. This is indeed a search idea. Whether the deceased himself belongs to a specific organization or the person who killed him belongs to a specific organization, it is very likely that the murderer did not kill him specifically for himself, but may have targeted the deceased. represent some kind of force. ?However, it was really a very bold move for the murderer to express his wish so blatantly. After looking at the body, Qiao Xue came to the door. The three neighbors who live on this floor are already standing here, looking a little panicked. Standing on the far left is a middle-aged Asian man who looks to be in his forties. He looks quite tall, his brows are furrowed, and his hands are constantly rubbing each other. The one in the middle is a fat man who looks a little short, probably in his thirties. He looked around, seeming to be very curious about the room where the murder occurred. The one on the right is a thin man, about 20 years old, with a sinister look, and his hands are always in his pockets. "Don't be nervous, I just need to ask you a few questions." Qiao Xue coughed and said in Chinese. After these people looked at each other, they nodded. "Do you know the person living in this room?" The fat man nodded immediately and said in Chinese with a smile: "I know him! How could he not know him? His name is Hao Yingxiong. Well, the name is quite handsome, but I didn't expect it. He died so unheroically." Qiao Xue asked: "What is your name?" The fat man said politely: "My name is Zhou Wangui! Please ask, but we are all Chinese. For the sake of it, please don¡¯t cast doubt on me! I can guarantee that I am definitely not a murderer!¡± Qiao Xue ignored the fat man¡¯s self-defense and continued to ask: ¡°Did you discover the body? ?¡± Zhou Wangui nodded and said with a smile: ¡°Yes, I discovered it first. This morning, when I was going to go to work, I felt something strange in the corridor. This guy's room. I knocked on the door, but there was no response I looked at it! That scene really scared me!" Qiao Xue nodded. Asked: "What did he say?" Qiao Xue wrote it down in English in her notebook so that Tom next to her could see it clearly. "Then what?" Zhou Wangui: "Then? Then I called the police! Oops, this road has not been very peaceful recently. There are problems here and there There are even dead people now" Maybe, Zhou Wangui was the speaker without intention, but Qiao Xue asked alertly: "It's all a problem? What problem?" Zhou Wangui was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and looked at the thin man next to him. Qiao Xue also looked at the thin man and motioned for him to speak. "ThenImy name is Liu Yang, and I make breakfast on this street! Becausemy job requires me to get up very early in the morning, so I always get up at about three o'clock to roll out noodles" "Then I heard many strange noises coming from Yingxiong Hao's room several times They were so loud that I was a little scared So I left as soon as possible Then, I waited until around noon to finish my shopping and go back to the room early. Sometimes, I always see some strange people coming out of the room. After they see me, they will lower their heads and leave as if they are hiding their faces. " Qiao Xue nodded and asked, "What do you mean by strange. What do you mean it's weird?" Liu Yang continued tremblingly: "Wellthe clothes they wear are very ordinary, they don't look like rich people, there's nothing strange about them. However, I often see them on their fingers. Wearing some very expensive gemstone rings, there are some expensive-looking watches on their wrists, and some people have gold necklaces around their necks" Qiao Xue frowned, took a note, and asked, "What about the three of them? Did you see anything when you came back at noon the other day?" After thinking about it, the thin man shook his head in confusion and said, "I didn't see anything, everything seemed ordinary Ah, by the way, I saw Ermian, Zhao Ermian. That was him. Liu Yang pointed his finger at the tall middle-aged man next to him. The middle-aged man was stunned and immediately looked at him nervously. Qiao Xue. Qiao Xue tapped her notebook with a pen and said: "Your name is Zhao Ermian?Real name?" Zhao Ermian nodded and said: "My real name is Zhao Ermian. However, because I am a pastry chef, so Everyone around here calls me Ermian. " Qiao Xue nodded and asked, "Three days ago, on the day Hao Yingxiong was killed, Liu Yang saw you in the corridor. " What happened to Zhao Ermian? The boy seemed a little nervous. He rubbed his hands and said:She said very anxiously: "Pleaseplease don't doubt me! I didn't kill anyone! Really, I really didn't kill anyone!" Qiao Xue was a little bored: "We will judge whether you killed someone or not. Tell me where you are. What are you doing?" Zhao Ermian shivered and said nervously: "Actuallythat daybecause our restaurant only started working in the evening, I was sleeping all morningabout eleven o'clock in the morning. I heard some noises in the corridor. At first I thought it was me dreaming, so I ignored it and continued to sleep. But after twelve o'clock, I felt that there were some rapid running sounds in the corridor. I felt it was troublesome, so I walked out to see what was going on. "What happened?" Zhao Ermian smiled and said, "There was no one in the corridor." When I was looking around, Liu Yang came back and I was seen." (To be continued)
