I'm a New Police Detective: Specializing in Solving Strange Cases

Because the family said that when they entered the house today, they found their daughter hanging on the door window, wearing brand new clothes.

This is also consistent with the characteristics before they committed suicide!

Their Longjiao Village is quite traditional. According to traditional Chinese culture, if someone wants to commit suicide, they must first wear new clothes.

So the family members may mistakenly believe that their daughter committed suicide, but the police must have evidence to prove it.

Du Ming ordered that all footprints at the scene be extracted, including the shoe treads of all the family members.

However, all the traces at the scene have been destroyed, and it will be a huge task to extract them.

To finally confirm whether it was homicide, further autopsy is needed to prove it. The conclusion drawn based on reasoning alone is difficult to convince the family!

Because of the limited conditions here, it is difficult to use tools such as videos and PPT needed for meetings.

So he prepared to return to the team to hold a case work meeting to specifically analyze how to determine the cause of death, how to extract more effective footprints, etc.

The scene on the third floor has been blocked and is guarded by two police officers. Family members are not allowed to enter during these days!

Lin Yu also followed them to the Nanxiao Police Station.

I kept walking in and out of their office, and finally came to a large conference room.

Many police officers have already sat down, waiting for the captain to preside over the meeting.

"Okay, let's have a formal meeting to analyze the case. Everyone can express their opinions. Who goes first?"

Zhang Xiaonan took out the remote control and pressed it, saying, "Everyone, please look, the deceased is a female, 18 years old, a first-year college student.

The family reported that it was suicide, but we think it was homicide. Lin Yu had already explained the reason at the scene. The most important thing now is to wait for the specific autopsy report to come out. "

"When the autopsy is done, you can contact the medical examiner. Oh, I forgot. Yu Xiaoyu is in your team now."

Yu Xiaoyu immediately stood up and saluted everyone.

Then another forensic doctor took over the topic: "The footprints at the scene are a bit messy. It will take some time to determine the direction of the footprints. There are a lot of shoe prints. We are short of forensic doctors, so it may be a bit slow."

The footprints in this case are the most critical. Not only can it determine homicide, but it also determines whether the case can be solved.

So when Du Ming asked if he could speed up the process, Lin Yu volunteered before the forensic doctor answered.

"I've seen the footprints at the scene, and I think I can analyze the murderer's footprints and direction."

His level was obvious to all forensic pathologists during this period, so there was no surprise and everyone was excited.

Everyone has heard of his name, so the police officers of Nanxiao Police Station also believe that he can do it.

As the saying goes, "wherever you touch, there is a trace." Footprints are one of the most frequently found traces at crime scenes.

Anyone who is an expert in footprints can read a wealth of information from them.

By analyzing the patterns, size, and sole location left at the scene, we can obtain the suspect's personal characteristics and walking characteristics, such as height, weight, and fatness.

Lin Yu had also conducted footprint analysis last time, and it was obviously easy for him. In addition, he had a magic weapon, so this time it was no problem either.

He asked Yu Xiaoyu and others to come to the scene again. All the footprints had been collected, so he didn't have to do this repetitive work.

What he wanted to know was the direction of the various footprints.

He found that all the footprints came from outside the door, stopped at the place where the girl hanged herself, and then walked back, which meant that these footprints should be from family members.

And only one footprint went straight to the balcony outside the window. It’s not really a balcony, but just a windowsill. Generally, old buildings have this kind of windowsill.

They are usually made of cement, which can not only keep out rain but also stabilize the windows.

The windowsill is relatively large, and can hold flower pots and various beautiful decorations.

It is normal to have some flowers and plants in a girl’s room.

Wang Qian was responsible for checking clues outside the windowsill, while Yu Xiaoyu looked for fingerprints, hair, etc. again.

Zhang Xiaonan called the family members to ask: "Since you said your daughter hanged herself, why did she hang herself? She was so young?"

Before the family members could speak, Lin Yu said calmly: "For the gift."

The family members looked at him in shock: "How did you know?"

Zhang Xiaonan looked back at him, his eyes full of curiosity. Yu Xiaoyu asked him softly, "How did you know?"

He looked at Yu Xiaoyu, then walked towards the family members but did not give a direct answer: "Your Longjiao Village is very traditional, and there has always been a saying of bride price, and it is very high."

The father wiped away his tears and said, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have scolded her, and I shouldn't have asked for a betrothal gift."

The mother's eyes turned red and she kept crying.

Lin Yu spoke again: "She has a boyfriend, right?"

The father nodded and said: "My boyfriend is from the Wang family in the same village. They are childhood sweethearts and have known each other since they were young. Later, when they went to college, they went to two different cities.

Now that they are about to graduate, they are together again. They plan to get married after graduation next year, which is only a few months away.”

"So they came to propose marriage, how much do you ask for in gifts?"

"No, it was decided by the two kids themselves. Xiaojing mentioned it to us many times, and we said we would agree to their marriage as long as they gave the 28 yuan betrothal gift."

Yu Xiaoyu also came over at this time: "28 yuan for the betrothal gift, it's hard for ordinary people to come up with that, right?"

"Xiao Jing told me that Lao Wang's family had just built a house, and they borrowed money, so they couldn't come up with 28 yuan. She even argued with me, and I said a few words to her. I didn't expect her to be like this. If I had known, what kind of gift would I ask for?"

After saying this, he burst into tears, and Xiaojing's mother cried more and more sadly.

It turns out that the girl's name is Chen Jing, and she is their only daughter. She is already a senior this year and will start her internship during the Chinese New Year. She will graduate in a few months.

Her boyfriend is called Wang Lezhang, who loves music and is deeply loved by Chen Jing. He lives in the same village. Chen Jing's parents said that he came to see her and fainted from crying. He should be in the hospital now.

After Chen Jing's parents left, Lin Yu looked at Chen Jing lying on the ground and sighed: "I didn't expect that you would be gone when we met for the second time."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaonan and Yu Xiaoyu came over: "Do you really know each other?"

He took out a candy from his pocket: "This candy is what she gave me."

Yu Xiaoyu continued to ask: "Then how did you two meet?"

Lin Yu pretended to smile mysteriously: "We have known each other since childhood, do you believe it?"

They both shook their heads: "I don't believe it. If you knew each other since childhood, would her parents know you? Besides, she is still a little girl. How old are you?"

Lin Yu was very unconvinced: "Come on, I'm not much older than her, am I?"

Zhang Xiaonan rolled her eyes at him and Yu Xiaoyu snorted.

At this time, Wang Qian jumped into the house and said, "Only half a footprint was found on the windowsill outside. It rained on the road outside the window these two nights, and all the traces were washed away."

Lin Yu followed him to look at the half footprint, and he found that it was a bit similar to a footprint in the house.

He compared them carefully and found that they were left by the same pair of shoes.
