Chapter 128 The key to the Rose Flower Shop case, the opportunity for crime brought by special holid

Time spent on national highways.

It is much more than the expressway, but because Liangxi City is not far from Suzhou City.

Therefore, Su Ming and others, who had already set off from the Magic City early in the morning, were delayed in Gusu City for a while in order to arrange follow-up matters.

But it was also around three o'clock in the afternoon that we arrived at the Yuhua Criminal Investigation Brigade in Liangxi City.

Compared with the well-prepared Xiangcheng Criminal Investigation Brigade.

I don't know if it was because of the hasty notification, or because Lin Tian specifically told him to keep a low profile.

Gao Miao, the head of the Yuhua Criminal Investigation Brigade, came to the parking lot alone.

Unlike Liu Yang, who is smooth and already very good at officialdom, Gao Ming is the kind of pure criminal policeman who is unsmiling, selfless and dedicated to solving crimes.

After receiving everyone in the parking lot, he didn't say much. He just nodded and asked everyone to follow him to the specially arranged work place.

But it’s just like what the Xiangcheng Criminal Investigation Brigade did.

Gao Chao also chose to directly use a conference room that is not commonly used for this investigation.

Come to the conference room.

Gao Chao took the lead and walked in, pointing at a pile of files and several USB drives on the table of the conference room, and said expressionlessly.

"Forest Bureau."

"I have compiled all the files and useful surveillance video information about the [Rose Flower Shop Uncovered Case] ​​five years ago and put them here."

"Wait a minute, just pick it up and read it. If you need any other materials and information, I will try my best to help you find it."

"Right..."

Speaking of which.

Gao Chao looked at Su Ming, who was standing next to Lin Tian, ​​still wearing an expressionless ascetic face, and asked.

"Are you Su Ming? Deputy Team Leader Su?"

Before Su Ming could reply, Gao Chao continued talking on his own.

"Deputy Team Leader Su, I'm leaving this Rose Flower Shop uncovering case to you."

"Since you can dig out the murderer of the corpse dismemberment case at Shanghai University twenty years ago, then the uncovering of the Rose Flower Shop case five years ago may not be a problem."

"I have really...really tried every means and criminal investigation method to find out the truth of this case and give the victim's family the justice they deserve but have been overdue."

"But it's a pity."

"Every once in a while, the victim's family comes to ask me about the situation."

"I can only answer by saying that I haven't made any breakthrough yet and I'm working hard. I don't dare to say anything more, let alone deceive them."

"Because if you give them a little hope and expectation, if the hope is shattered, it will only bring more pain and despair, as well as deeper harm."

"So please, Deputy Team Leader Su, I hope that after a while, I can pat my chest and tell the victim's family..."

"Our Longguo police, our Yuhua Criminal Investigation Brigade, I am superb and I have lived up to their expectations."

"Although it has been five years late, the justice that should come has finally come..."

Speaking of which.

Gao Gao, who had always been expressionless before, was obviously a lot more emotional now.

His lips were trembling slightly, and he clenched his fists hard, which was enough to show the pain and self-blame in his heart.

As an extremely pure criminal police officer, the one thing Gao Ming fears most is...

When the victim's family asked about the progress of the case, he didn't know how to answer, and he didn't want to personally extinguish the family's expectations.

Because of this.

Only Gao Ming would sincerely request Su Ming to do his best to dig out the rose completely!

Not only because of the pressure brought by the superiors, but also because of the responsibility in my heart, the responsibility of being a criminal police officer in Longguo.

It can be seen.

Gao Miao and Lin Tian are the same kind of people, but they are more worldly and pure.

This also illustrates once again the difference between the criminal police system and other official organizational structures.

in the criminal police system.

No matter how ignorant you are of the world, as long as you really have the strength and talent to solve crimes, you can still sit in the position of person in charge.

...

Feeling the superb sincerity and determination, Su Ming nodded confidently and answered quite seriously.

"Don't worry, Director Gao."

"In three days, we will dig out the roses within three days."

"Because our goal is not just Qiangwei, but to use this to completely dig out the entire drug trafficking organization."

Hear this.

Gao Chao looked deeply at Su Ming, then walked into the conference room without hesitation, pulled open the whiteboard and said.

"Lin Bureau, Deputy Team Leader Su, and all comrades in the task force."

"After I just received the call from the Forestry Bureau, I have sorted out the general process of the case in the limited time, so that I can understand the case as soon as possible."

"You can take a look first, and then check the file for specific details."

There was no hesitation.

Su Ming, Lin Tian and his group immediately walked into the conference room and looked at the content on the whiteboard carefully.

On February 14, 2018, an emergency call was received at 10 o'clock in the morning, and a murder occurred in the Rose Flower Shop on Linjiang Street.

Fifteen minutes after receiving the alarm, the Criminal Investigation Brigade arrived at the murder scene and conducted its first investigation.

The deceased was the owner of the Rose Flower Shop, a woman, 28 years old, 163cm tall and weighing about 43kg.

No obvious signs of fighting were found at the scene, but a pair of scissors that pierced the heart was stuck in the back of the deceased. Except for the fingerprints of the deceased, no other fingerprints were found on it.

In addition, the face of the deceased was cut off by the murderer and fixed to the glass door of the flower shop with tape.

According to the degree of rigidity of the body, the degree of corpse spots and the degree of blood drying, the time of death was probably 1 a.m. on the same day.

The fatal cause of the victim's death was the massive bleeding caused by the myocardial tear caused by the pair of scissors that pierced the heart.

The tool used to cut the victim's face was a paper cutter that is a must-have in every flower shop, and no fingerprints of the murderer were found.

......

After carefully reading the case outline on the whiteboard.

Xu Changsheng recalled the file of the flower shop face-revealing case that he had read roughly before, and a certain doubt in his mind deepened a little, and then he asked immediately.

"Director Gao."

"There is one thing I don't understand about this case, and it feels very strange."

"Why...the deceased was still in the flower shop around 1 a.m."

"It stands to reason."

"Normal flower shops are only open until 9:8 or 9 p.m., maybe very few are open until around 10 p.m."

"But it's really too strange that the deceased was still in the flower shop at 1 a.m."

When Xu Changsheng expressed his inner doubts.

Before Gao Chao could answer anything, Guo Ping, who had a healthy wheat complexion and a great figure, looked at Xu Changsheng with a little helplessness and shook his head.

"Captain Xu."

"You can tell you don't have a partner. Isn't February 14th the Western Valentine's Day?"

"Don't those young people have to buy flowers? Don't flower shops usually make money on such festivals?"

"Squad Leader Guo, I know it's Valentine's Day." Xu Changsheng quickly refuted, and then frowned and said more puzzledly.

"But even if it's Valentine's Day, an experienced flower shop owner would have prepared the goods long ago and wouldn't have kept himself busy so late."

"Because, as you said, squad leader Guo, these shop owners know that if they want to make a lot of money, they must be prepared before Valentine's Day."

"Since they are prepared, will they be busy so late? Or..."

"Knowing that the workload is so heavy, why don't you find a few more people to help?"

Xu Changsheng's subsequent words.

Guo Ping suddenly didn't know how to answer. He opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't say it.

Lan Jing, a petite with flat bangs, adjusted her black-framed glasses and expressed her opinion.

"Could it be that the flower shop has just opened for a short time?"

"So the deceased has no experience, which led to this accident and worked so late?"

In response to the doubts of several people.

Su Ming frowned and thought for two seconds. An extremely special time immediately flashed through his mind and he said slowly.

"The deceased may not have much experience."

"But I think the more important reason is that February 14, 2018 is too special."

"You can look at the calendar. This day is not only Valentine's Day, but also the day before the Lunar New Year's Eve of our Longguo."

"This undoubtedly led to many foreign flower shop owners in Liangxi City choosing not to do business on this day and rushing home to reunite with their families."

"Because in the eyes of many people, money can be earned again, but family reunions cannot be delayed."

"This will lead to a surge in orders. If the deceased still prepares on the scale of a regular Valentine's Day, it is likely that he will be too busy."

"And flower shops are basically one-person shops, and rarely ask employees to help."

"So if I'm not mistaken, the deceased's family is either very busy or doesn't support her opening a flower shop?"

"Otherwise."

"With so many orders, it's really strange that no one comes to help."

"As for whether the deceased didn't say that so many orders would take a long time, so no one came to help, I think the probability is not high."

"After all, if she didn't go home too late, her family would normally call to ask, rather than being indifferent."

"Valentine's Day, the day before New Year's Eve, no clerk to help, and no family to assist..."

"It is likely that these special circumstances overlapped and led to the final tragedy."

Speaking of this.

Su Ming looked at Gao Chao standing in front of the whiteboard and smiled with confidence.

"Director Gao."

"Do you think... am I right?"
