Chapter 426: Conclusion of Cheng Hanjun and the Other Two

Qin Fei did not ask why. After hearing Chen Yi's words and making sure that the vehicles in front and behind were safe, he immediately chose to turn around on the double solid line, ignoring traffic regulations.

"Go to Ximei Village."

Chen Yi's voice sounded immediately.

Qin Fei's home is in the east of the city. He is not familiar with the south of the city and rarely goes there, so he opened the navigation search. When the vehicle started to drive normally, he asked: "Captain Chen, what are you going to Ximei Village for?"

Chen Yi: "Someone hanged himself."

Qin Fei: "Oh."

He did not ask any more questions.

Hanging suicide has nothing to do with the research team, and even if it is homicide, the case should be handled by the South City Branch. Chen Yi must have a special reason for rushing to the scene immediately after receiving the news.

Just because he didn't ask didn't mean that others didn't ask. Zhuge Cong's character couldn't hold back: "Captain Chen, is there anything wrong with the dead person?"

Chen Yi: "Maybe he died because of the demolition. The developer is Chen Group. I'll go and see the situation."

Several people understood that Chen Yi's family background was not a secret within the company. Since it involved his own company, it was understandable to understand the situation. The police were not saints, and everyone had selfish desires.

If they really needed help, they couldn't just sit back and watch.

At this time, everyone shut up tacitly, and the car speed was getting faster and faster.

In Ximei Village, the developer had arrived and was facing the criticism of the village chief. The villagers were very quiet. The dead were not their own family members. They were more concerned about whether the demolition compensation would be affected.

When the accident happened, everyone was very careful. Only a few people sighed, and more people were watching.

"We really didn't force him." The project manager kept explaining, "When the police came to mediate three days ago, we added each other on WeChat. I can show you the chat content. I have always been very polite to him. I have never mentioned forced demolition and never said anything harsh."

The village chief glared: "Then why did Awen hang himself? It must be something you did!"

The project manager was helpless and a little panicked. If he was really blamed for Gou Qiwen's death, his life would be affected.

The general manager knew that it was useless to quarrel, so he found Li Antai, who was in charge of the case, and exchanged what they knew.

Li Antai basically understood the detailed cause and effect. After checking the chat records between the project manager and Gou Qiwen, it was normal. It was just that the project manager's attitude became more and more tough, saying that an additional compensation of 600,000 was absolutely impossible, and Gou Qiwen should not even think about it.

At the same time, it was clearly pointed out that Gou Qiwen's behavior violated the rules. If it was exaggerated, let alone 600,000, he would not even want 100,000.

The demolition must be carried out, and things will have a result sooner or later. The project manager asked Gou Qiwen to recognize the situation. It was useless to play rogue these days.

To put it bluntly, it was just a quarrel.

The project manager did not mention forced demolition, nor did he say anything too harsh.

To take a step back, even if the project manager had a bad attitude and threatened forced demolition, Gou Qiwen had no need to commit suicide from the motive. What's the use of asking for money if the person is dead?

Of course, everyone has different personalities, and no one knows what Gou Qiwen is thinking. It is possible that he lost his mind and hanged himself. After all, if the person dies, the developer will be in big trouble. Killing one thousand enemies will only hurt himself.

In any case, hanging is a fact. Even if the developer does not need to be responsible, the impact of public opinion is inevitable, and it may even rise to national news.

With the development of the Internet, information spreads very quickly. This matter cannot be concealed, and there is no need to conceal it, unless someone above is suppressing it.

Those things are not what Li Antai should be responsible for. He is only responsible for the case in front of him.

The reporter came very quickly, but was blocked outside the cordon.

Nowadays, new media is developing rapidly, and traditional journalism is facing changes. Investigative reporters have become increasingly scarce, comparable to giant pandas.

Although rare, it definitely happens. The news that developers force demolition households to death can make the headlines. Everyone wants to be the first to report it. There are not many such opportunities.

In addition to investigative reporters, self-media staff also want to get first-hand information to attract traffic.

Li Antai glanced and ignored it. In the Internet era, law enforcement work is subject to public supervision. In principle, it can be spread except for confidentiality. Finally, the official will issue a notice.

At this moment, short video software is estimated to have been released by eye-catching people.

"Captain Li, just tell us where we need cooperation." The general manager's attitude is very low. He needs to eliminate the impact to the greatest extent in the shortest time. If it doesn't work, compensation is also acceptable.

If I knew this earlier, I would have given him 600,000 yuan. Now the loss is probably more than 600,000 yuan.

Li Antai hummed, and at the moment, he still had to determine whether the deceased committed suicide. The criminal police only look at the results of the investigation.

If it was suicide, then the developer is really in trouble. Regardless of whether there is any relationship, he must bear a certain responsibility for this matter. There is no way, I can only say that it's unlucky. The demolition encountered a madman.

The footprints on the stool were extracted, and the preliminary comparison showed that they were those of the deceased Gou Qiwen. There was no problem with the load-bearing area. The whole person was indeed standing on the chair, which indirectly proved that Gou Qiwen had indeed committed suicide.

Li Antai cast a sympathetic look at the general manager. The other party might be in a state of panic during this period. He just wished himself the best.

The business car drove from a distance, the electric sliding door opened, Chen Yi got out of the car and waved to Jiang Fanlei, and came to the cordon.

The police on duty recognized Chen Yi, and his face changed as he quickly raised the cordon.

"Captain Chen."

Chen Yi hummed, and all seven people walked in.

Li Antai was still chatting with the general manager, enjoying the compliments of the rich man with a calm expression. When he saw Chen Yi from the corner of his eye, his pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately stood at attention and saluted: "Captain Chen!"

The general manager was stunned for a moment, turned his head suddenly, and saw a familiar face.

As an executive of a subsidiary of the Chen Group, he had naturally seen Chen Yi, and knew the other party's status in the Yangcheng police, but he didn't dare to mention him to make Li Antai's attitude tilted, which would be very serious if it got to Chen Zhiyao's ears.

In the past, Chen Zhiyao said in a meeting that Chen Yi was Chen Yi and the company was the company. No matter what happened, Chen Yi's name could not be used to bully others, let alone contact privately, otherwise he would be fired immediately.

Therefore, he didn't dare to say that he knew Chen Yi, so that Li Antai could help him in the case.

The words of the police were still very useful, at least they could temporarily suppress public opinion.

"Chen..." The general manager didn't know how to address him, Mr. Chen? Mr. Chen? He finally chose three words, "Captain Chen."

Chen Yi nodded and looked at the forensic doctor.

There was a corpse on the white cloth. It was Gou Qiwen. His face was cyanotic, his skin was pale, his eyes were turned up, and his neck had obvious marks of being strangled due to excessive pulling, which was consistent with the external characteristics of hanging.

"Captain Chen, why are you here?" Li Antai asked respectfully.

Chen Yi was the benchmark for all young police officers in Yangcheng, and he was no exception. He respected him very much, not to mention that he was the deputy chief of the Criminal Investigation Corps of the Provincial Department and a third-level police inspector.

Chen Yi did not hide anything: "He is the developer of my company. I came to see what I can do after hearing the news."

Li Antai turned his head and looked at the general manager. His eyes meant why didn't you say it earlier?

The general manager responded with a sneer.

He was relieved. It would be much easier to deal with Chen Yi when he came. It seemed that he was going to take care of this matter. Anyway, I didn't call him, so it didn't matter if Director Chen knew about it.

"Captain Li, what's the situation?" Chen Yi asked after explaining.

Li Antai: "It is basically confirmed to be suicide."

Chen Yi: "Is it convenient for my people to intervene?"

Li Antai: "Of course, of course, Captain Chen can just go there directly."

Chen Yi turned his head: "Go get gloves and shoe covers, and see what's going on. Three people are enough, don't go too many."

After a discussion, Qin Fei, Zhuge Cong and Cheng Hanjun went to the scene, and the rest did not move.

During the process, Chen Yi and Li Antai chatted.

"I heard that Captain Chen went to investigate?" Li Antai was a little surprised. The news was inaccurate?

Chen Yi smiled: "I did go to investigate, and returned to Yangcheng to rest halfway. I had already set out today. I got the news of Gou Qiwen's suicide, so I turned back."

Li Antai said, of course he had to ask about his own company's affairs, and it was normal to be worried.

While chatting, Zhuge Cong and the other two came to the scene of the crime. The colleagues in the branch were all working, and no one spoke.

The three understood Chen Yi's meaning. Asking them to come and see what was going on was to determine whether it was suicide. To be precise, Chen Yi already suspected that it was not suicide.

The whole incident is clear. The demolition household violated the rules and wanted more money. Now that they haven't even received the money, how could they hang themselves? Moreover, even if they don't get the extra money, the original demolition money is enough to live comfortably.

How many people have waited so long for their homes to be demolished, and they dream of committing suicide just to get more money?

When a person dies, nothing is left, so the motive for suicide is not valid at all.

Even if it is suicide, it will never be because of demolition.

"Brother, is the autopsy result suicide?" Zhuge Cong came to the body and asked politely.

The middle-aged forensic doctor looked up at Zhuge Cong, knowing that he must have an identity since he could get close to the scene, so he replied: "It is suicide, and no suspicious points have been found for the time being."

Zhuge Cong: "When did he die?"

Forensic doctor: "Preliminary judgment is between one and two o'clock last night"

"Oh... thank you."

Zhuge Cong thanked him and turned to look at the door next to him.

A thick hemp rope was hung on the beam, tied into a circle, just big enough to fit the head. There was a wooden chair on the ground inside the door, without a backrest or handles.

Looking inside, the light in the yard was still on.

It was easy to associate: the deceased got up from the bed and went to the yard last night, turned on the light and hung the rope, then stepped on a stool to put the rope loop into his head, kicked the chair away and committed suicide.

No problem.

"Is it really suicide?" Qin Fei asked.

Zhuge Cong said: "The forensic doctor gave the result, and the scene can also restore the incident. It should be suicide."

Cheng Hanjun: "If it was suicide, what was his motive? I have never heard of people who were about to be demolished committing suicide. Team Chen said that the deceased Gou Qiwen was a second-rate person. He must have squandered the windfall?"

Zhuge Cong frowned: "Yes, it's very strange. Could there be other motives?"

Cheng Hanjun: "Even if there are other motives, demolition is enough to make up for the inner cracks, right?"

Money can solve troubles, maybe even depression can be cured. Gou Qiwen's behavior is really puzzling. In this day and age, there are still people who become rich overnight and commit suicide?

"Take a closer look." Zhuge Cong said, and several people carefully reenacted the scene from the beginning.

Cheng Hanjun's expertise prompted him to come to the trace inspection. The branch trace inspection was trying to extract more footprints, and the footprints on the stool had been extracted.

Squatting in front of the fallen stool, Cheng Hanjun leaned in to take a closer look. The footprints were size 43, and the size and pattern were exactly the same as the travel shoes worn by the deceased. There was no problem.

The stool was very big, the kind of square wooden stool commonly seen in rural areas, dark brown, old, and looked quite old.

Cheng Hanjun made a visual inspection and found that the length and width were about fifty centimeters. The position where the deceased's footprints were extracted from the top was close to the edge. If he stepped further back, his heels would extend outside.

"Um?"

Cheng Hanjun felt that something was not right. He tilted his head and stared at the location of the footprints, thinking deeply. In his mind, he began to build a three-dimensional model of the space when the deceased was hanging.

Since the footprints were close to the edge, Gou Qiwen's feet must have been very far back when he stepped on them. In this position, a normal person should kick forward.

If you kick it backwards...can you hit it? Requires testing.

Cheng Hanjun frowned, turned to look at the position of the rope, stood up and walked over.

After visually measuring the height of the deceased and the height of the stool, Cheng Hanjun stepped back and looked at the door.

The beam of the door was very high, and Gou Qiwen could almost reach the rope loop while standing on the chair.

With your feet back, you're unlikely to kick back, unless you force your feet to roll the stool backwards, which is a bit troublesome, so why not kick forward?

This is a doubtful point, but it is not decisive. There are many ways to commit suicide, and the details are countless. Maybe it is not impossible for Gou Qiwen to use force from behind. Anyway, it can make the stool fall.

The decisive doubt lies in...

In that position, can you flip the stool back that far?

"Zhuge! Qin Fei!"

Cheng Hanjun shouted, and when the two came, he explained the location of the footprints and his judgment.

After listening to Cheng Hanjun's words, Qin Fei thought for a moment and realized the crux of the problem: "There's a problem. This stool weighs a lot. Let's test it? Zhuge, your height is about the same as the deceased."

"Okay, I'll do it." Zhuge Cong nodded, then looked at his colleagues in the branch and raised his voice: "Have you finished extracting all the traces on the stool? Can it be moved? We want to do an experiment!"

The criminal police officers of the branch looked at each other, unable to make a decision, and asked the captain for his opinion.

"Experiment?" Li Antai didn't understand, but since he was Chen Yi's man, of course he had to give him face, "Okay, okay, be careful."

Chen Yi watched Zhuge Cong pick up the stool with his gloved hands, slowly put it under the rope, and then stood up.

what are you doing? It was obviously a re-enactment of the suicide process, but he didn't know the purpose because he didn't know the location of the footprints.

Will Gou Qiwen commit suicide? The possibility is very low. The people in the research team need to experience actual combat. It is best to have results, but you can learn something even if there are no results.

Now it seems that several people have discovered the suspicion and did not let him down.

The branch criminal police and the forensic doctor stopped what they were doing and looked over. They saw Zhuge Cong standing on the stool, grabbing the rope loop with his hand, stepping on Gou Qiwen's position and glaring back hard.

Bang!

The stool rolled twice in response, but it was still some distance away from the location of the crime.

"Come again!"

Qin Fei moved the stool back and repeated the process.

Bang!

This time Zhuge Cong tried his best, but still couldn't reach the location of the crime, missing by more than one meter.

"continue!"

This was repeated three or four times with the same result.

"Fu Guoyong! Come on!"

In order to ensure the accuracy of the experimental results, Zhuge Cong and the others asked Fu Guoyong to simulate the hanging process of the deceased. His feet should be stronger.

"Coming, coming." Fu Guoyong arrived and stepped on the stool under the instructions of the three people.

Bang!

The stool rolled two more times this time. Although it was much closer, it still did not reach the location where the crime occurred.

Seeing this, Cheng Hanjun's face became a little solemn.

In other words, Gou Qiwen most likely did not have the ability to turn the stool back that far, and it was most comfortable to kick his feet forward. This is a subconscious action that normal people should have.

Combined with the fact that Gou Qiwen's motive for suicide cannot be established at all, a conclusion is drawn.

"Team Chen, the deceased probably did not commit suicide!" Cheng Hanjun reported.

The faces of the forensic doctors and trace examiners present changed. Is this true? !

Chen Yi raised his eyebrows. Provincial and departmental talents who can join the research team really have something, but there is no need for him to teach in person.

Turning to look at Li Antai beside him, the latter's expression was a bit exciting.

"Captain Li, it looks like it's a murder case. I'm quite busy."

Li Antai's mouth twitched and he subconsciously looked back at the developer, especially the project manager responsible for persuading Gou Qiwen.

Is there a motive? Yes, but it is impossible for five or six hundred thousand, not to mention that the other party is still a part-time worker, so it is not his turn to pay.

What about the rest? Not to mention, the developers don’t lack this little money, so why would they kill people?

If it was really a murder, the motive should have nothing to do with demolition.
