The nanny died in an accident while wearing luxurious clothes that did not belong to her, and the owner could not be contacted. This seemed strange no matter how one looked at it.
Could it be that the death of the nanny, Liu Yufen, was related to the owner, as Peng Zhicheng had guessed?
What role did the uniformed police officer play in this?
These suspicious points needed to be investigated one by one.
"Did Liu Yufen buy the clothes and watch on her own?"
"I think she just bought them."
"Does she have the habit of buying luxury goods?"
"No, no. What are our conditions? How can we afford those things?"
"How much does she usually buy?"
Peng Zhicheng replied, "The cheapest ones are dozens, the more expensive ones are one or two hundred, and the winter clothes are four or five hundred. She can't bear to spend more."
Han Bin made a note in his notebook. "How much is her most expensive accessory?"
"She has a gold necklace, probably more than three thousand. I gave it to her a few years ago. She usually can't bear to wear it, afraid that she will lose it or break it. Officer comrade, why are you asking this? "
"Routine questioning." Han Bin gave a perfunctory reply and changed the topic.
"Liu Yufen is a live-in nanny?"
Peng Zhicheng replied, "Yes. She goes home once every Sunday. "
"How do you know that something happened to her?"
"I called her yesterday afternoon, but she didn't answer. This has happened before. When the owner is around, it's not convenient for her to answer the phone. She will call me back when she has time. But this time it's different. She didn't call me back. When I tried to contact her this morning, I couldn't get through to her. So I rushed over to take a look. I didn't expect that … something really happened to her. "
"What time did you call her yesterday afternoon?"
"I called her at 4: 30 in the afternoon, and again at around 5, but no one answered."
"Did you contact her last night?"
Peng Zhicheng looked regretful. "Someone invited me for a drink last night, but I drank too much … It's all my fault. If I didn't drink so much, she might not have had an accident."
Peng Zhicheng slapped his head hard. "I didn't want her to be a nanny for a long time. How can serving people be a good job? But she didn't listen. She said that it's more money, and there are fewer people in the house, so it's easier. She can't do anything else. "
"It's all my fault. If I were a capable man, I wouldn't have …"
Han Bin advised, "No one knew that this would happen. You don't have to blame yourself too much."
"When was the last time you communicated with Liu Yufen?"
Peng Zhicheng sighed. "The night before yesterday, we had a video chat. She was fine then, but who knew that just one day later …"
"At that time, did she behave strangely or say anything to you?"
Peng Zhicheng recalled for a moment and said, "I didn't feel anything unusual. We just talked about family matters and the children's schooling. It was no different from before."
"How many children are there in your family?"
"I only have one daughter. She's in her third year of high school this year. I originally thought that since the child has grown up, we would have more leisure time in the future. After another two years, we would have a good rest. Who knew that something like this would happen."
"Has Liu Yufen had any conflicts with anyone before?"
"No, my wife is a quiet person. She's famous for her good temper. She hasn't gotten angry with anyone for so many years."
"How is the relationship between Liu Yufen and the employer? Did she tell you anything about the employer? "
"The employer is a couple in their thirties. They don't have children. My wife gets along with them quite well. I heard that the employer runs a company and is very rich. He has bought several houses, including a villa in the suburbs."
"Does the owner usually live here?"
"Of course. The owner lives here most of the time. Otherwise, he wouldn't have hired a nanny. In addition to cleaning, my wife has to cook. Sometimes when we chat at night, the employer wants supper, and my wife has to cook for them."
"That's all I want to ask for now. This is my business card. Contact me if you think of any new clues." Han Bin took out a business card and handed it to the officer.
"Officer, I want to see my wife. I want to see her for the last time."
"You go back first. We will contact you later." After the forensic examination was completed, Han Bin would arrange for someone to contact Peng Zhicheng to identify the body. However, some things were not convenient to say to avoid provoking the other party.
Peng Zhicheng said sincerely, "Officer, my wife is dead. You want me to go back? Where can I go? I want to see my wife right now. I'm begging you, just promise me."
Han Bin hesitated. "How about this? Wait a moment. I'll go in and take a look."
"Okay, I'll wait for you. I just want to see my wife. I definitely won't destroy the scene. I also hope to catch the murderer as soon as possible."
Han Bin turned around and went into the house to report the contents of the statement to Ding Xifeng. At the same time, he also passed on Peng Zhicheng's request.
"Let's see what the forensic doctor has to say later." Ding Xifeng did not refuse, nor did he agree.
There was no hard and fast rule for the family to see the deceased. The main reason was that the family was worried that the emotional family would destroy the scene and the evidence on the body. As long as the forensic doctor completed the autopsy, there would not be so many concerns.
A few minutes later, the forensic doctor, Li Can, took off his gloves and walked over. "Team Ding has completed the preliminary autopsy."
"Tell us about the deceased's situation."
Li Can organized his words. "The deceased was between forty and forty-five years old. She was a female. She was strangled and suffocated to death. From the wound marks, the murder weapon looked like a climbing belt. The time of death was between 2: 30 pm and 6 pm yesterday. In addition to the fatal neck injury, the right ankle was sprained. It was most likely caused by fighting or escaping from the murderer. "
Ding Xifeng asked, "Did the deceased have any sexual behaviors before she died?"
"No."
"The deceased's husband is outside. He wants to see the body. Is it convenient?"
"The conditions at the scene are limited. I only completed the preliminary autopsy. I still need to bring the body back for further examination. The family can identify the body, but they can't touch the body. If you can guarantee this, there's no problem. "
Ding Xifeng thought for a moment. "Then let's wait until the autopsy is completed."
No one could guarantee that the family wouldn't be excited when they saw the body.
After investigating the scene, Ding Xifeng brought his men back to the Municipal Bureau.
It was already noon, and everyone went to the restaurant for lunch.
At one o 'clock in the afternoon, everyone rushed to the conference room for a meeting.
Ding Xifeng glanced around the conference room and knocked on the table. "Alright, almost everyone is here. Let's start the meeting."
"The scene investigation is over, and everyone has an understanding of the case. Let's talk about your opinions."
Ma Jingbo put down his pen and said, "Then I'll say a few words first. The original reason we took this case was because this case is somewhat similar to the pyramid robbery that we are investigating. According to the security guard, two police officers went to the house where the deceased was at around 3 pm yesterday.
"I went to the property management company to check the surveillance of building six. At around 3: 05 pm yesterday, there were indeed two men in police uniforms who went to the fifth floor of building six, unit one. Also, I asked the owner of Unit 502, and there were no police officers visiting yesterday. We can basically confirm that the deceased had contact with people in police uniforms. "
