Qindao Foreign Language Institute.
The foreign teacher's dormitory has been cordoned off.
A lot of students were standing outside the cordoned off and several uniformed police officers were maintaining order.
As the saying goes, everything has its weakness. These students were not afraid of the police and were more obedient to their teachers.
Chen Haijing and several school leaders were also standing next to the cordoned off to maintain order.
A teacher shouted, "What are you watching for? There's no need for class, move back."
"Which class are you from? Didn't I just tell you not to get within three meters of the cordoned off?"
A student tiptoed and looked inside. "Teacher, I don't have class this morning."
"Even if you don't have class, stay away."
"Get out of the way, get out of the way."
A few people pushed through the crowd and came in. It was the second squad of the city's criminal investigation team.
Ma Jingbo talked to the police station leader for a bit and took over the crime scene.
The leader of the Qindao Foreign Language Institute stopped Ma Jingbo and talked to him in a low voice.
Han Bin directly led his people into the scene.
Behind the foreign teacher's dormitory, a man was lying in a pool of blood. The man had yellow hair, his neck was broken, and half of his face was destroyed. The remaining half of his face could be vaguely recognized as foreign teacher David.
David was wearing pajamas. Next to the body was a pair of slippers and a 500 ml beer can. Traces of spilled beer could be vaguely seen around the body.
After Han Bin finished his inspection, he handed the scene over to the technical department and forensic science department.
Ma Jingbo also came over, glanced at the scene, and asked Han Bin, "What do you think?"
"From the scene, there are only three possibilities. Accidental fall, suicide, murder, and David was probably drunk before he died." Han Bin said.
Ma Jingbo nodded. "Let's go upstairs and take a look."
Generally speaking, there were two scenes in a suicide case. One was the scene of the fall, and the other was the scene of the landing. The two scenes had to be compared comprehensively.
Outside the scene, Ma Jingbo called Chen Haijing over. "Director Chen, tell us about the situation of this building."
"No problem." Chen Haijing pushed up her glasses and explained.
"There are currently four people living in this building. The first floor is where the foreign teachers work. The second floor is where Elizabeth lives. The third floor is where Salman and Zerai live. The fourth floor used to be where Mike lived, but it's temporarily empty now. The fifth floor is where David lives."
"Tsk tsk, there are only four people living in this small building. How luxurious." Ma Jingbo smacked his lips.
Chen Haijing explained, "The school leaders are mainly considering that the living environment abroad is more relaxed, and foreigners are more concerned about privacy. Besides, they are international friends, after all, so their accommodation is better than ordinary teachers."
Han Bin smiled. His mother was also a teacher, so she knew a little about the situation of ordinary teachers. "It's not just a little higher."
Chen Haijing forced an awkward smile.
When she reached the second floor, Li Qin stopped and looked at the corner of the roof. "Where's the surveillance camera? I remember there should be surveillance cameras nearby."
Chen Haijing said, "It's been torn down."
Ma Jingbo also stopped in his tracks. "When?"
"After the city's criminal investigation team took away the surveillance footage, a few foreigners asked the school to remove the cameras."
"Why?"
Chen Haijing spread out her hands. "They think that the cameras will invade their privacy."
"Your school agreed?"
"After all, they are from different countries. The school has always respected the customs and habits of foreign teachers." Chen Haijing said.
Han Bin asked, "Who suggested to remove the surveillance cameras?"
"The first one was Elizabeth. Salman and Zerai also agreed. David also expressed his approval when he found out about this. It can be said that it was a unanimous decision by the foreign teachers."
Han Bin snorted. "You're really something."
When foreigners come to the local area, they should take the initiative to adapt and integrate into the local life. However, this Qingdao Foreign Language Institute treated these foreigners like Buddha and treated them much better than ordinary teachers. This was not a good sign.
The group went up to the fifth floor. The door to David's house was closed, and there were no signs of damage from the outside.
The police had already found a professional locksmith, and in less than a minute, the lock was opened.
Locksmiths like this all had records in the police station.
After the door opened, Han Bin and the others did not go in immediately. Instead, they observed the door and saw that there were no signs of damage in the lock. Then, Team Two entered David's house.
This was a large three-bedroom house. The living room was very large, but there was not much furniture.
As soon as they entered, they saw the kitchen. The toilet was on the right side of the living room, and there was a large bathtub inside.
The master bedroom was the living area, the side bedroom was the study, and the other room was the cloakroom and the exercise room.
In the innermost part was a separate balcony. On the balcony was a small table with a few beer cans and a round plate with some minced meat and two slices of uneaten ham.
Han Bin looked down from the balcony. It was exactly where the body had fallen. This was probably the scene of David's fall.
Li Qin also checked the balcony. "This balcony is open-air, and the cement wall is only one meter high. David must have been drinking at the time. Could he have fallen accidentally?"
Han Bin shook his head. "Judging from the two scenes, David shouldn't have fallen accidentally."
"Team Leader, how can you tell?"
"David is more than 1.8 meters tall. If he fell accidentally, his body should have fallen vertically, and it shouldn't be more than 3.5 meters away from the building. However, David's body was more than four meters away from the building. This means that he fell in a parabola, and there was a force pushing him forward. Either he committed suicide by jumping off the building, or he was pushed by someone."
Jiang Yang asked, "Can we deduce whether David committed suicide by jumping off the building or was pushed by someone based on the distance between the body and the building?"
Han Bin hesitated for a moment before saying, "This situation is relatively complicated. It involves a person's height, weight, height of the fall, the height of the guardrail, and the posture of the fall. We need to conduct a lot of simulations, and it's difficult to determine just by guessing."
"To determine suicide or homicide, in addition to direct evidence, we can also see if the deceased had suicidal tendencies when he was alive," Ma Jingbo said as he walked to the kitchen.
Ma Jingbo looked around the kitchen and pointed at the pan on the gas stove. There was still a lot of oil stains on it. "It looks like he made his own dinner."
Ma Jingbo rummaged through the kitchen trash can and found some packaged salmon, filet mignon, Jinhua ham, and onions. After checking the prices, he smacked his lips.
"This meal is quite expensive. It must have cost at least 300 yuan. A person who is so picky about food doesn't seem like someone who would commit suicide."
Jiang Yang shrugged. "Could it be that he wanted to eat something good before he died?"
Ma Jingbo was speechless.
