"Captain Zheng, why are you here?" Li Hui asked in surprise.
Zheng Kaixuan snorted. "How can I sit still in the police station when there's a murder case?"
"Captain Zheng, I feel much more at ease with you here," Zeng Ping said with a smile.
"You're the team leader, so you should do what you need to do. I'm just here to keep an eye on the case," Zheng Kaixuan replied and looked at the body on the ground.
"Han Bin is right. Based on my years of experience, the victim was probably murdered."
"Jianbin, you died a horrible death." When the woman on the sofa heard that her husband was murdered, she rushed over and cried, "How can we live without our children and widows?"
"Ms. Li, I'm sorry for your loss. If your husband is watching from heaven, he wouldn't want to see you so sad," Tian Li said.
"Sob …" Li Yu was still crying.
"Take Ms. Li to the side. Don't ruin the scene," Zeng Ping ordered.
Zheng Kaixuan squatted down and observed carefully. "The victim was probably strangled with a rope."
"Since it's a homicide, it's our turn to investigate."
"I just checked. There's no trace of a broken door. The suspect might know the victim," Zeng Ping said.
"Disguising the body as a suicide, it's very likely that an acquaintance committed the crime," Zheng Kaixuan said.
After Li Yu's emotions stabilized, Han Bin and Tian Li were responsible for taking her statement.
Han Bin turned on the law enforcement recorder, and Tian Li took the notebook.
"Name?"
"Li Yu."
"What's your relationship with the victim?"
"Husband and wife."
"How is your relationship?"
"Not bad. We just quarreled occasionally," Li Yu said.
"Did your husband, Xing Jianbin, behave strangely yesterday?"
"No. After dinner, I went to work and he washed the dishes," Li Yu said.
"When did you leave home?" Han Bin asked.
"Eight o 'clock in the evening."
"Did he tell you who he was going to see?"
"No."
"What does your husband do?" Han Bin asked.
"He doesn't have a formal job. He just runs some small businesses." Li Yu pursed her lips and hid them.
Han Bin kept staring at her. She pursed her lips and hid them, which meant that she was nervous and unconfident.
Moreover, Li Yu had repeated his question, which indicated that he was lying.
"I'll ask again. You have to answer me honestly. What kind of business does your husband do?"
Li Yu looked to the right and said, "He's a driver."
Looking to the left meant that he was recalling, and looking to the right meant that he was thinking of lies.
Han Bin snorted. "Li Hui, investigate Xing Jianbin and see if he has a criminal record."
"Don't … don't investigate anymore."
Li Yu panicked and quickly stopped him. "He used to be a multi-level marketer."
Han Bin berated, "Why did you lie?"
"I just think it has nothing to do with the case," Li Yu said.
"It's not up to you to decide whether I'm related or not. If I ask you a question, you have to answer truthfully, understand?" Tian Li warned.
"Got it."
"Does your husband have any enemies?"
"Yes."
"What's his name?"
"I don't know. After he got out of prison, a lot of marketers came looking for trouble. There were too many of them."
"Did you touch anything after you came in? What did the crime scene look like?" Han Bin asked.
"The front door was unlocked, and the door to the house was locked. When I opened it, I saw …" Li Yu's voice trailed off, and he hesitated for a moment. "Jian Bin hung himself."
"I didn't dare touch him, so I called the police."
"Did you lose anything else?"
"Yes. We can't find the cash we hid in our bedroom."
"How much?"
"Two hundred thousand dollars, or three hundred thousand yuan."
"Why did you hide so much money?" Tian Li was surprised.
Two hundred thousand dollars was equivalent to about 1.4 million yuan. Plus the three hundred thousand, it was more than 1.7 million yuan in total.
"He didn't dare put it in the bank because he was afraid that someone would come after him, so he hid it at home." Li Yu sighed.
"Are there any other clues?"
"No."
"I have. Contact the criminal police."
…
After learning about the case and investigating the crime scene, Zheng Kaixuan gathered everyone in the yard to analyze the case.
"Everyone knows the case now. Did anyone find any other clues?" asked Zheng Kaixuan.
No one answered.
Zheng Kaixuan pointed at Reuven. "Glasses, did your forensics team find anything?"
"The fingerprints extracted from the scene only belong to the victim, Li Yu, and a child. The child's fingerprints should be Li Yu's son. There are no fingerprints of the suspect," Reuven said.
"What about other clues?"
"I just checked. There are no obvious signs of a struggle on the surface of the body, but the specific situation will have to be identified by the forensic doctor," Reuven said.
Just then, the smell of disinfectant wafted over.
Zheng Kaixuan laughed, "Speak of the devil, and he will appear."
A moment later, a woman carrying a box walked in. She had short hair, was tall and thin, and wore a pair of white gloves. It was Wu Xia, the forensics team from the branch office.
Behind Wu Xia was a young man in his twenties. It was her assistant, Qiao Ziming.
"I say, Medical Examiner Wu, you're finally here," Ceng Ping joked.
"I'm sorry. We just finished dealing with the body in Team 1," said Wu Xia.
"Thank you."
"It's my duty." Wu Xia nodded and walked into the room.
Wu Xia examined the body and shouted, "He was killed. He was probably strangled from the back."
"Time of death?"
"At least nine hours."
"Can you confirm the murder weapon?"
Wu Xia pinched the victim's chin and observed him carefully. "I'll give you a detailed report after the autopsy."
Zheng Kaixuan didn't rush her. Knowing that it couldn't be rushed, he said to the members of Team 2, "Let's continue."
"Captain Zheng, two hundred thousand dollars and three hundred thousand yuan isn't a small amount. I think the suspect probably has a means of transportation. We can look for him in a car," Han Bin suggested.
"The village in the city isn't like the city. There are fewer surveillance cameras," said Li Hui.
"We can interview the people. We might find some clues," said Tian Li.
"I think we can investigate how the murder was done. The murderer killed the victim and pretended to hang himself. It's not very clever, but it was a planned murder. He might have a criminal record," said Zeng Ping.
"We still don't have enough clues. Let's split up and see if there's anyone suspicious," said Zheng Kaixuan and turned to look at Zeng Ping. "Old Zeng, you can assign tasks."
"Captain Zheng, you're here. How can I have a chance?"
Zheng Kaixuan waved his hand. "Stop joking. Give the order."
"Yes, sir," replied Zeng Ping and began to assign tasks.
"Zhao Ming, look around and see if there are any suspicious vehicles. Don't miss the private cameras.
"Tian Li, go to the police station and look for Xing Jianbin's file. Find the officers in charge of MLM cases and see if anyone hates Xing Jianbin.
"Han Bin, Li Hui, visit the people around and see if they saw any suspicious vehicles or people between eight and midnight last night."
"Yes, sir," everyone answered.
