Chapter 4 Site Investigation

Two months later, a speeding police car.

"The crime occurred in Fumin Community. Turn left and you'll be there after two traffic lights." Qin Fen is a native of Yancheng and has a 3D road map in his mind.

Li Le asked as he drove: "What case is going on that requires Captain Qin to personally take action?"

Qin Fen didn't like to show off, so he said directly: "It's not a big case. It was originally the work of the fourth team. Isn't it too busy over there? I will take it over and take you out for a while."

As soon as Li Le heard this, half of the chicken blood he had just filled was instantly released, "Isn't it a big case?"

"What other big case do you want to solve? Look at Han Xu, how beautifully he solved the mutilation case. It really makes our northern suburbs police station proud!" Qin Fen said, then turned to look at Han Xu in the back seat. , "I heard that Mr. Wang from the task force asked you to take credit. In a few days, the awards will come out!"

Ever since the last corpse dismemberment case, Qin Fen had fallen in love with this young man, Han Xu. His cleverness was very much like his own back then.

Not long after, Fumin Community arrived.

This is a comprehensive residential community, located on the edge of the northern suburbs of Yancheng. The traffic is not very good, but it is close to the best high school in Yancheng, so the housing prices are getting higher year by year, as if there is no end.

"This is a school district house, where every inch of land is at a premium." Qin Fen introduced it to a few people as soon as he got off the car. "One square meter seems to have increased to thirty thousand, but the apartment size is not big. I remember that this community was built a long time ago. "It's been a few years. Let's go. The accident happened in Room 402, Unit 3, Building B. It was a gas poisoning accident."

The group of people squeezed through the crowd of onlookers at the entrance of the community, and soon arrived at the downstairs of the third unit. A cordon had been set up here, and a police officer was waiting for them.

"You guys came too fast. We have just evacuated the people in the community and the ambulance will be here soon."

Qin Fen showed his police officer ID as usual and shook hands with the police officer, "I am Qin Fen from the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Northern Suburbs Police Station."

"It turns out to be the famous Captain Qin. I'm from the street here. You can just call me Xiao Yang."

"Can you introduce the situation?" Qin Fen asked.

"Oh, that's right. There was a gas poisoning accident in Room 402 of Unit Three last night. The head of the household, Li Hongwei, died on the sofa in the living room."

Qin Fen motioned to Xiao Yang to lead the way, "Let's talk as we walk."

Han Xu couldn't wait to ask: "Is he the only one at home?"

"No, his six-year-old daughter is here too." Film police officer Xiao Yang glanced at the young man and replied with a smile.

"Then his daughter is okay?"

"I escaped unharmed in the bedroom. The child also inhaled a lot of gas and is still in a coma."

Qin Fen took over the conversation, "Who called the police?"

Police officer Xiao Yang pressed the elevator up button and replied, "The child's mother is a nurse in the hospital. She worked the night shift last night. She came home early in the morning. When she found out something happened, she called the police as soon as possible."

"Which hospital is it from?"

"She's from Yancheng No. 2 Hospital. Her name is Liu Yun. She's quite beautiful. She's a famous beauty among us." Film policeman Xiao Yang answered quickly and knew the basic information very well.

Qin Fen also did not forget to praise the other party's professionalism.

"Ding,"

As soon as the few people got out of the elevator, they smelled a strong smell of gas, which made them choke and cover their mouths and noses.

I saw that the security door of Room 402 was open, and the smell was leaking from inside.

Captain Qin put on his gloves and asked, "Where are the child and her mother now?"

Xiao Yang raised his hand and pointed to the door of Room 401 opposite, and said: "Let's put them in a neighbor's house first, wait for the ambulance to come, and send them to the hospital immediately."

Qin Fen nodded and said to Xiao Yang, "Okay, leave the scene to us. You can go and rest." After that, he nodded to Han Xu.

After receiving the order, Han Xu and others took out their hoods, gloves, shoe covers, and masks, dressed neatly, and entered the scene.

This is an apartment with two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. The area is small and even a little cramped.

There is a shoe rack in the entrance hall with several pairs of shoes on it. Judging from the style and size, it should be a family of three.

There was a large fish tank next to the shoe rack, which served as a partition to the living room. Turning around, you could see the deceased lying on the sofa.

The decoration style of the house is relatively simple and the layout is quite satisfactory. The kitchen is open and connected to the living room. There is a dining table in the middle with a plastic bag on it.

Han Xu walked over and opened it. Inside was a portion of pork elbow with soy sauce for one person. It was cold and without any warmth.

After roughly surveying the surrounding environment, Han Xu focused on the gas stove in the kitchen.

There is a kettle with a crooked mouth on it, which is quite unique in shape.

"The living room plus kitchen area is less than 30 square meters. No wonder there is gas poisoning." Due to the small space, Team Qin only asked Song Jiaer and Li Le to follow. The speaker was Li Le who was taking photos with a SLR camera.

"Stop talking nonsense and concentrate on your work." Song Jiaer put down the physical inspection box in her hand, looking like a big sister. After all, she came a year earlier and is much more senior than these two new recruits.

Their task is to determine the nature of the accident. If the death is an accident, it will be transferred directly to the fourth group for processing.

Han Xu walked around the kitchen and looked at the two bedrooms before focusing on the deceased.

Li Hongwei looked to be in his early thirties, with a square face and a bloated figure. He was lying motionless on the sofa at this time, with a very calm facial expression, as if he was asleep, but there were no vital signs.

Han Xu squatted down and carefully examined the deceased.

There were no external injuries on the body, which ruled out the possibility of external violent attack.

There were no signs of burning, which ruled out the possibility of accidental electric shock.

Rigor mortis had already formed, and some parts had shown crimson corpse spots, which were typical signs of carbon monoxide poisoning.

"How is it, did you find anything?" Captain Qin and others asked after they had been busy for a while.

"The deceased drank a lot of alcohol before his death, and there were no obvious external injuries on the body. The specific cause of death has to wait for the forensic doctor to confirm." Han Xu said with reservations.

"Detective Han, you are talking nonsense!" Song Jiaer picked up half a bottle of white wine from the coffee table and put it in the evidence bag.

"I haven't finished yet?"

"Then continue."

"I just checked the valve of the gas tank, and it has been closed. I guess the person who reported the case found a gas leak and took emergency measures.

Not only the gas valve, but all the doors and windows are open to let in air. There is nothing suspicious about these places.

Oh, by the way, the switch of the gas stove is also turned off."

Team Qin nodded after hearing this, "Then it can be almost determined that this is an ordinary accidental death."

Han Xu did not comment, and said, "Let's wait for the forensic doctor to determine the time and cause of death."

Qin Fen showed a satisfied expression and thought to himself, "This kid really didn't disappoint me. He is a material for criminal investigation."

"Then why are you still standing there? Send someone to transport the body back, and then notify the forensic department to issue a body autopsy report as soon as possible."

"Yes!"
