Mystery Tracker 3

nursing home.

Dong Lianyun's body was put into a body bag, Jiang Xin and Jiang Ruiheng took off their gloves and came to Shen Yan's side.

"Three wounds were found on the old man's abdomen. Judging from the shape, they should all be caused by the knife found on the bed." Jiang Ruiheng said, and handed Shen Yan a fruit knife in the evidence bag, "From the amount of bleeding Judging from the distribution of the bloodstains, we speculate that the deceased was stabbed at least 10 minutes ago." Having said that, he looked at Cheng Haiyang, "so the sneaky volunteer you saw shouldn't be the murderer. .”

Cheng Haiyang nodded - after the initial surprise, Cheng Haiyang also noticed the large amount of blood on the old man's bed, which was not the result of a minute or two.

"In addition, there is another guess to remind you," Jiang Ruiheng lowered his voice a little, "Jiang Xin and I both suspect that the old man may have committed suicide."

"What?!" The others were taken aback.Shen Yan asked: "What's going on?"

Jiang Ruiheng looked at Jiang Xin and motioned for her to explain, so Jiang Xin said: "It's like this. Generally, when others use a knife to attack, the wound tends to be vertical, but when I hold the knife, it is more likely to be horizontal. The three places on the abdomen of the deceased The wounds were all horizontal; in addition, none of the three wounds pierced the artery, that is to say, it should have been a period of time from the time the deceased was stabbed to death, but the old man did not call for help or struggle at all during this period—— The sheet under him was very flat, and there was no sign of struggling at all. These are very suspicious."

"Of course, this is just a hypothesis we provided, you..." Jiang Ruiheng didn't finish speaking when his cell phone rang suddenly.He glanced at the incoming call, and immediately answered the call regardless of explaining to others.

"Hello. What?! When did it happen?...Okay, I get it."

Putting down the phone, Jiang Ruiheng's expression was very bad: "My colleagues in Beijing checked it for me. Ma Xuyang left China three days ago."

Several people frowned when they heard this.Shen Yan asked: "Where did he go?"

"Thailand. It is said that he was going to a meeting with a few other entrepreneurs, but I suspect he just took the opportunity to run away."

A few people are silent - the process of overseas arrest or extradition is very complicated, even if they have sufficient evidence, it is not necessarily guaranteed that people will be extradited.Ma Xuyang has now left the country, which will undoubtedly make it more difficult for subsequent investigations and even arrests.

Jiang Ruiheng took a deep breath, obviously trying to suppress his anger.Cheng Jinsong patted him comfortingly: "Let's think about the bright side first, at least we still know where this person is now. The relationship between Thailand and China is not bad. If we have solid evidence, we should be able to extradite him."

"That's why we need to speed up the time to solve the case," Shen Yan also said, "We must not give others a chance to escape."

Relevant investigations will soon yield results.Surveillance video shows that from 9:30 a.m., Mr. Xia, who was in the same room, went downstairs to bask in the sun accompanied by a nurse. No one entered room 507 until 10:23 a.m. when the volunteer went in and found the body.The forensic evidence collected fingerprints from the murder weapon, the deceased's mattress and other key parts belonged only to the old man. Based on all aspects of the situation, it can be concluded that the old man did indeed die by suicide.So an important question was put before everyone: What is the reason why a terminally ill old man chooses to end his life in such a way?

Police station.

"Jia Zhixin, what did you want to do in Dong Lianyun's room?"

"I..." The man sitting in the interrogation room seemed a little confused, and he replied calmly, "I'm a volunteer, and I'm going to see the old man..."

"Volunteers? Volunteers at the Watch House have always acted with several people. Why are you alone this time?" Looking at Jia Zhixin's tangled hands, Shen Yan sneered, "Do you want me to call and go to watch? Let the family confirm, is your trip arranged by them?"

Jia Zhixin swallowed subconsciously, which is a typical nervous action of a liar.

"Jia Zhixin," Cheng Jinsong said, "You were found at the scene of Dong Lianyun's death, and you still had Dong Lianyun's blood on you..."

"I didn't kill Old Dong! He was like that when I went in!" Jia Zhixin hastily defended.

"He was like that when you went in, but it doesn't mean his death has nothing to do with you." Shen Yan interrupted him, "We have investigated, you have been to the nursing home twice in the past month, and each time you will stay at Dong Lianyun's place for a while. Time. What is the relationship between you and him? Did you cause his death?"

"No! How could I let him die now?! I still..." Seemingly aware of his slip of the tongue, Jia Zhixin stopped talking immediately.However, Shen Yan has already noticed his words: "What's the matter with you? There is indeed a problem between you and Dong Lianyun, right? Did you find someone to harm him?"

"No, no!" Jia Zhixin finally couldn't take it anymore, he looked at Shen Yan pleadingly, "Comrade police, I'll tell you, can you ask for leniency for me?"

"That depends on what you have explained."

"It's just that I'm really not doing anything! I'm just trying to make some money... I..."

"Make money?" Shen Yan frowned, "What money do you make?"

"Well, that's it. Those of us who joined the Watch House are not actually volunteers. We... we are actually making a bet..."

"Bet? What bet?"

"Gambling..." Jia Zhixin seemed to find it hard to say, he hesitated for a long time before saying, "Bet on when those old guys will die..."

"What?!" Shen Yan almost suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Jia Zhixin nodded. Seeing that Shen Yan and Cheng Jinsong seemed puzzled, he continued: "The old men and women registered at the Watch House are basically sick and dying. We just bet on how long it will take for them to die. The person who guesses the most accurately at the end will get a prize..."

Not only Shen Yan, everyone frowned deeply.In the police station for many years, everyone thinks that they have fully seen the dark side of human nature, but there will always be new and worse behaviors, refreshing their cognition, and making them realize that there are even more despicable behaviors...

"How do you specifically do it?" Shen Yan asked.

"Each of us has to pay a membership fee of 1 yuan when we join the membership. This membership fee is also considered as a deposit, which is to ensure that you will not tell the inside things. After joining the membership, they will open the market regularly, and each time there are usually 5 candidates. , you can bet on who will die first, or when one of them will die. Then the doubling is different depending on the difficulty. The cheapest way to play is to bet on who will die first. The bonus for one bet is fixed at 1000 yuan; The most important thing is to bet on which month you will die, and the biggest thing is to bet on the specific day... There was once a man who gambled on the death date of an old lady, and he won 20 yuan in one go..."

"How do you pay?" Cheng Jinsong asked beside him.Jia Zhixin replied: "In the beginning they had an account, and everyone put money into that account. Later, they could transfer money online. And they have a small program. After each purchase, you can check it on the small program. .”

Hearing Jia Zhixin's words, Shen Yan suddenly remembered some of the volunteers' rhetoric mentioned by an old man before, so he asked: "So when you go to the nursing home, it is not to do volunteer work at all, but to see their physical condition and guess their condition. About when will he die, right?"

"Yes," Jia Zhixin nodded, "Everyone can go to the site to inspect the goods before placing a bet, and then decide how much to invest this time; and if the person hasn't died in two months, they can go again; of course, If you want to watch it in the middle, you can also add money to buy more times. If you want to change the order, you also need to pay money..."

"How many times have you been involved?"

"5 times."

"How much did you invest?"

"It adds up to more than 50 yuan..." Jia Zhixin said, "I know a little bit of medicine, so I can predict some diseases more accurately. When I bought it for the first time, I only invested 1 yuan, and in the end I won more than 4 yuan. The second The second time I made nearly 10 yuan, but the third and fourth times I lost money. This time I invested all the money I bought in the house. I wanted to go to see it again and raise my bets, but it turned out that At this time, they suddenly refused to let me go to the 'inspection'. I waited for several days, and they used all kinds of excuses to prevaricate me every day. So I wanted to go and see for myself, who knew that he had committed suicide in the past... "

Cheng Jinsong noticed Jia Zhixin's disappointed expression and asked, "If the patient commits suicide, what do you think?"

"Suicide counts as a failure, so this one is useless. They will deduct the handling fee, and the remaining money will be returned." Jia Zhixin introduced, but his expression did not show any joy, "I thought this would double the hope, but now It's all for nothing..."

——When an old man committed suicide, in Jia Zhixin's mouth, there was nothing but the regret of causing him to "play for nothing".

"When you go to the nursing home for 'inspection', none of the elderly or care workers have found any abnormalities?" Shen Yan asked.

"Most of those old men and women are too sick to get out of bed, and many of them are thrown into nursing homes because their families don't bother to take care of them. They don't have anyone to talk to at all. I wish we could chat with them. We have some People will secretly give the phone numbers to those old men and women, so that they can inquire about their conditions in private. Occasionally, one or two people feel that something is wrong, and the staff will help us. As long as they say that they will not be paid, they will also Be honest. And some family members will help you to be sloppy, and the fooling will pass..."

"Family?" Shen Yan noticed Jia Zhixin's words, "What do you mean? Their family members also know about it?"

"Uh, not everyone knows..." Jia Zhixin said in an uncertain tone, "But some of them definitely know. I heard that if their family members cooperate, they can get an extra sum when the old man dies..."

"Crack!" There was a strange sound beside him, Cheng Jinsong raised his eyes following the sound, and found that Shen Yan had actually broken the pen in his hand.However, Shen Yan did not get angry at Jia Zhixin, he still said in a very calm voice: "Jia Zhixin, does Dong Lianyun's family know about your affairs?"

"I know." Jia Zhixin nodded, answering without any hesitation.

Shen Yan didn't speak any more, and walked out of the interrogation room directly.Cheng Jinsong also got up and left.

Walking out of the interrogation room, Fang Liyuan, Jiang Ruiheng and others were all standing in the observation room.They also heard clearly everything Jia Zhixin said just now.Seeing Shen Yan come out, Fang Liyuan said: "Dong Lianyun's son Dong Yisen is outside, do you want to interrogate him?"

"Yes, let's arrange it now." Shen Yan said.

"Dong Yisen, why don't you try another person?" Cheng Jinsong said suddenly, "Captain Shen, I want to discuss something with you."

Shen Yan raised his eyes unexpectedly, but Fang Liyuan nodded his head: "Alright, you have been busy all morning just now, go have a meal first, brother Cui and I will come next time."

Since Fang Liyuan said so, Shen Yan didn't insist anymore.When the two left the interrogation area, Shen Yan asked, "What's the matter, what's the matter?"

"Go back to the office first."

Returning to Shen Yan's office, closing the door, Shen Yan said again: "What's the matter, so mysterious?"

However, Cheng Jinsong did not answer, he just walked over to pour a glass of water, and then handed it to Shen Yan.

"Come on, drink some water and calm down."

Shen Yan was taken aback.He raised his eyes in astonishment, but saw Cheng Jinsong looking at him with water in his hand, with gentle concern in his eyes.Shen Yan first pursed his lips, and then finally felt a little ashamed. He took the water and defended in a low voice: "Actually, I'm not too angry..."

"Yes, it's all because of the poor quality of the broken pens in the unit. I can break several pens every month."

This is pure nonsense.Shen Yan couldn't help laughing: "You are too perfunctory in comforting me."

"Then I'll comfort you." Cheng Jinsong said, walking over and wrapping Shen Yan in his arms, "So, we won't eat at work tonight, but go to my parents' place for a meal, so you can feel normal. How about family happiness?"

Shen Yan looked into Cheng Jinsong's smiling eyes, nodded and was about to answer when suddenly there was a knock on the door, and the two hurriedly separated.Shen Yan adjusted his expression, and then said: "Come in."

The door opened, and Tang Qing walked in from the outside.Seeing that Cheng Jinsong was there, she paused: "Uh, should I come back later?"

"It's okay, just tell me." Shen Yan said, "What's the matter?"

However, Tang Qing didn't answer directly. She glanced at Cheng Jinsong and said to Shen Yan: "Captain Shen, can I have a chat with you alone?"

Cheng Jinsong raised his eyebrows unexpectedly—this little girl has made some important discovery, and she wants to tell Shen Yan alone behind everyone's back?However, what was even more unexpected was Shen Yan's reaction - he actually nodded, and then looked at himself, implying that he would leave.

"Then you guys talk, I'll go out first."

In front of Tang Qing, Cheng Jinsong didn't say much, so he left Shen Yan's office as if nothing had happened.Before closing the door, he glanced at the two men with serious expressions in the room again, and strong doubts crossed his mind.
