Chapter 315 On-site Investigation
"Has the time of death been determined?" Gu Nankai asked in a deep voice.
“The initial conclusion is that it should have happened four hours ago, between 3 and 4 in the morning.
That is when sleep is the deepest.
While the two were talking, Wu Qingluan and others also came up. Wu Qingluan had already prepared herself mentally. Although she was shocked, she still pretended to be calm and walked over with them. Seeing that they were talking seriously, she suddenly felt a little petty. But then she thought that no matter what, she was with Gu Nankai. What was there to be afraid of?
Yes, dead people in this world are never scary. The scariest things are the living people, the people who do these things while alive.
Only living people have hearts, and people with extremely evil hearts are the most terrifying.
"Can you tell whether it's revenge or love?"
Wu Qingluan closed her eyes, suppressed her discomfort deeply, then opened her eyes, looked at the corpse on the bed, and asked softly.
"It's hard to tell for now, but it seems like there are only these two possibilities."
Gu Nankai turned his head to glance at her, and felt relieved to see that she was fine. Then he looked at the corpse again, frowned slightly, and stood up and walked to the closet beside the bed.
The wardrobe was on the right side of the bed. When the woman was victimized, some blood splattered on the wardrobe. The milky white wardrobe looked a little scary at the moment. Gu Nankai walked over carefully and opened the wardrobe.
As he expected, there were only women's clothes in the closet, and nothing about the male owner. Wu Qingluan and Shang Lu saw it with just a glance, and soon Wu Qingluan said, "This couple must have been sleeping in separate rooms for a long time."
She looked around the room again: "Otherwise there wouldn't be no trace of her husband in this room."
Gu Nankai nodded and saw that the woman's cell phone was on the bedside table. As expected, there was blood on the surface of the phone. Shang Lu had already followed his gaze and discovered his thoughts. He cleaned up the blood on the phone and handed it to him. Gu Nankai chuckled to express his gratitude. He found that the phone needed fingerprint unlocking. After thinking for a while, he handed the phone to Shang Lu again: "It should be your arm over there. Come on, unlock it."
Shang Lu chuckled. In this strange and bloody environment, several people gradually became accustomed to it. Even Wu Qingluan gradually lost the fear and discomfort in her heart. Seeing Shang Lu take the phone, he quickly opened it and handed it to Gu Nankai.
Gu Nankai frowned and checked it, and soon found something.
"It looks like he has a crush on someone."
He chuckled expressionlessly and handed the phone to Gao Yuan who was standing beside him: "Something should have been cleaned up. You can dig again later to see if there are any other clues."
Gao Yuan took the phone and looked at it, then sneered, "You said that the rich people nowadays, the couples are so disdainful that they sleep in separate rooms, and the people outside are so in love, wouldn't it be fine if they just divorced? But they don't, and I don't know what they want. Do they really like this kind of secretive and unattainable love?"
"Just torture yourself."
After he finished speaking, he added another sentence, as if teasing. Wu Qingluan and the others also heard the implication from his words, that this woman must have someone else outside.
But at this time, Gu Nankai's mind had already turned to another matter. He observed the crime scene and raised a question: "Logically, a hammer should leave traces after killing someone, but you see, the whole room, except for the bed and the inevitable bloodstains, the rest of the room is clean. Even on the ground, there are only bloodstains from the bloodstains, and basically no bloodstains from the hammer."
"That is to say, the murderer was very careful and cleaned up the blood on the hammer very quickly after killing the person. Therefore, all the blood at the crime scene was from the victim or inevitably splashed or flowed, and was concentrated near the bed, while the rest of the bedroom was clean."
Shang Lu quickly realized the meaning of Gu Nankai's words. After looking around, she quickly followed Gu Nankai's words.
"Let's go check out the other crime scenes first."
Gu Nankai's brows were furrowed, and after a pause he spoke to everyone. Shang Lu had just finished the preliminary inspection here, picked up his things, and went to the second crime scene with a few people.
The study room where the male victim was.
There was a bed in the study, just big enough for an adult man to sleep in, and the rest was a standard study structure. At this moment, the man was dead on the bed. He did not die like the woman, where his head was smashed with a hammer, but was fatally stabbed in the heart by someone.
He must have suddenly felt pain before he died. At this moment, he opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and there was still indelible fear in his dilated pupils. It is conceivable that although , he was still filled with huge fear at the moment the dagger was inserted into his heart.
"The time of death is about the same as that woman's, but it seems to be a little later than that woman, which means that the woman is the first victim."
"A grown man, didn't he resist?" When Shang Lu went up to check, Gao Yuan and Li Meng also came over. After taking a look at the condition of the deceased at the scene, Li Meng asked.
"Looking at the situation on the bed, there was no resistance. On the surface, it seems that the knife was fatal, but whether there are other possibilities or not, we need to go back and do an autopsy to know the specific situation. I think that even his wife had a little time to resist when she was hit by a hammer. It is a bit strange that this man did not resist after being stabbed."
Shang Lu was checking and talking at the same time. She narrowed her eyes slightly at the current situation, and soon her pupils brightened slightly: "There is still a little bit. At first glance, this dagger is inserted quite professionally, with the intention of killing with one blow, but when it comes to the actual attack, there are still some deviations."
The meaning of the words is very clear, that is to say, the victim should have been able to resist at the time, but why is the bed so intact now and there are no other traces? This is worth pondering.
At this time, Gu Nankai also checked his condition and confirmed that what Shang Lu said was correct. He lowered his voice and said, "He must have taken sleeping pills, so he slept so soundly."
As he spoke, he lifted up the evidence bag, which contained the sleeping pills he had just found in the corner of the desk. Shang Lu took it and checked it. There were still a few sleeping pills in the bottle. It was certain that the victim had the habit of taking sleeping pills to fall asleep, but whether this was the reason why he did not resist at the time could not be determined yet.
"Go back and check."
Gu Nankai knew what she was thinking and quickly spoke out.
The second crime scene was quickly checked. Gao Yuan and Li Meng also quickly checked the indoor environment. Just like the bedroom of the first victim, it was also very clean. Or it could be said that the murderer was well armed when he killed people. His methods were neat and decisive, and his mentality was very calm. He was not panicked, so there was no indicative evidence left. The rest would require them to conduct further inspections.
After seeing the second victim, Gu Nankai and his team went to the room where the third victim was.
"This victim is different from the others. It feels like the murderer came specifically for her. The way these two victims were killed was not as tragic as the third one."
Gao Yuan and Li Meng had already seen the scene first, so they talked about it as they walked. Gu Nankai and others didn't take it seriously at first, but when they arrived at the scene, they couldn't help but stare with their eyes wide open and stood there in a daze.
