Chapter 36 Year
Chapter 36 Ten Years
There were no flammable materials in Li Cheng's yard, so even if sparks accidentally fell into the yard, it would not cause a fire.
Xu Yiqing thought for a moment and said, "But it's difficult to prove this. The coal was burned in the fire a long time ago, and it's impossible to find Liu Zhuhua's fingerprints."
Du Yu patted Xu Yiqing on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Old Xu, don't be obsessed with finding evidence from crime scenes and corpses. We criminal police are not helpless without forensic doctors... Although there are many people selling coal in Jiangcheng, it is easier than searching the whole city for suspects."
In the case of Li Yueyue, if the higher-ups had not set a strict time limit for solving the case, Du Yu could have licked the entire Jiangcheng and found the dog meat restaurant with Li Yueyue's photo.
Nowadays, the dog meat restaurants have simply been replaced by coal vendors.
So Xu Yiqing and Zhou Shi went back to rest, while Du Yu began the stage-by-stage finishing work - finding the vendor from whom Liu Zhuhua bought coal, taking Wang Xiaocui for a physical examination to confirm that she did not have a sexually transmitted disease, and summoning the salesperson at the used car market to cooperate with the investigation.
After finishing all these things, the only thing left is to write the report on this fire.
In fact, at this point, the leaders have put their minds at ease. As long as the fire was not caused by fireworks, their official hats can be kept.
Jiangcheng is the first city in the surrounding area to start a pilot program to lift the ban on fireworks, but many people are watching it.
Criminal cases caused by personal hatred should be left to the police to handle and will not cause social panic and unrest.
Zhou Shi sent Xu Yiqing back to his home. She suggested going up to take a look, and Xu Yiqing did not object.
When I opened the door, the cold air that hit me was no different from that in the corridor. All the windows in the house were opened for ventilation after Xu Yiqing left.
It was sunny outside, but there was no warmth inside.
Zhou Shi quickly deduced the reason.
The house is really too empty, with few furnitures and everything is kept simple. It doesn't look like a house where people usually live, but rather like a rental house where tenants pack up their belongings and leave.
She was not surprised. During their graduate school years, Xu Yiqing and Zhou Shi both had their own dormitories because of their outstanding abilities... She had visited Xu Yiqing's dormitory before, and it was just like the dormitory of a freshman before he moved in. She even made a joke because of it:
When the dormitory manager was checking the dormitories one time, Xu Yiqing happened to go downstairs to pick up a package. The dormitory manager looked at the empty dormitory, which was cleaner than the dormitories of some graduates during graduation season.
She thought Xu Yiqing had packed up and left overnight, but no one notified her. Being out all night was a small matter, but losing a student was a big deal. The dormitory manager panicked and quickly called the leader.
The school leaders were also scared when they heard this. Although the supervision is less strict for forensic medicine students at that age, it would be a big deal if they lost face in school.
Later, when Xu Yiqing was walking back with the express delivery, he bumped into the impetuous tutor and life counselor.
From then on, he would put his laptop on the bed whenever he went out to prove that he still had some valuables and had not moved away suddenly.
"After I divorced and moved out, you stopped buying new things?" Zhou Shi joked, "What are you waiting for?"
Originally, the place where she and Xu Yiqing lived was like a puzzle board made up of two colors, but now only one color was left, and it naturally felt like it was waiting for someone to fill the gap.
She said as she moved around.
They lived here when they got married ten years ago.
This was the wedding house that Zhou Shi bought with her own money. After the divorce, she didn't want it and left it to Xu Yiqing... She was under some family pressure at the time.
The original words were that she couldn't take the house in Jiangcheng to the big city, and lawsuits were so annoying, so she didn't want it.
But Xu Yiqing knew that she was just being stubborn. The house was sold for money, so why couldn't she take the money with her?
She just wanted to come back and visit them if possible in the future, and to prove to their friends and relatives that the divorce was not an emotional problem.
"You moved your things away. My life has always been like this. It's just back to square one."
Forensic medicine was the only thing on Xu Yiqing's mind, and it was Zhou Shi who added some color to his simple and plain life.
Unfortunately, due to various pressures, their marriage was destined not to last.
Xu Yiqing said, "Have you ever thought about moving back?"
Zhou Shi thought for a moment, "Can you give up being a forensic doctor?"
Xu Yiqing shook his head: "No."
After a pause, he looked at Zhou Shi and said, "Besides, I'm not a forensic doctor anymore. Can those people just assume that I didn't dissect that body?"
Zhou Shi sighed. This was another fruitless argument.
It was like this ten years ago, and it was like this on the seventh day of the New Year.
"I'm hungry. Can you make me a meal?" Zhou Shi decided to change the subject. He finally had some free time to rest, why did he have to argue?
"Okay, let me see what's in the refrigerator." Xu Yiqing rolled up his sleeves.
"If you don't have it, just go out and buy some." Zhou Shi threw her bag on the sofa, then lifted her hair and tied it into a ponytail. She immediately changed from being mature and steady to being energetic.
She shook her head, causing her hair to toss lightly: "I just wanted to see if there have been any changes in the area in the past ten years." Xu Yiqing smiled and said: "The changes are huge."
In ten years, tall buildings have been erected on flat ground, and then collapsed. Roads have been repaired again and again, and people have left and returned.
On a rare and pleasant afternoon, Xu Yiqing and Zhou Shi, who had been divorced for ten years, bought groceries and cooked together just like they had done long ago.
During this period, Zhou Shi did not ask Xu Yiqing whether he had a new love, and Xu Yiqing did not ask Zhou Shi whether he had remarried.
The two of them have an amazing understanding of each other.
But the more this happened, the more uncomfortable Xu Yiqing felt.
After Li Dusheng claimed Li Yueyue's body, he said thank you to him, which surprised Xu Yiqing very much.
Because few family members will still respect the forensic doctor after he has opened up the body of their loved one.
-
The task force rested for a day and a half, and on the morning of the third day, an urgent ring woke Xu Yiqing up.
It was Du Yu who called, and the first sentence he said startled Xu Yiqing.
"Come to the hospital quickly, Li Le is dying."
The incident happened suddenly, Xu Yiqing took a taxi straight to the hospital. After arriving at the hospital, he met Du Yu and Zhou Shi.
And Wang Xiaocui's family members who were kneeling on the ground and crying.
"Doctor, please save my son!"
"I kowtow to you, doctor. Nothing must happen to my nephew. He is our only child!"
"Lao Xu, you are here."
"what happened?"
"Li Le's condition suddenly took a turn for the worse last night." Du Yu sighed, "The burns are still infected."
A doctor came over to get someone to sign: "Who is the patient's immediate family member?"
Wang Xiaocui rolled and crawled: "I am, I am!"
The doctor thrust the critical illness notice in front of her and said, "Sign it and prepare for surgery."
Wang Xiaocui burst into tears and made a fuss, refusing to sign.
She felt that the critical illness notice was just like a death notice, and if she signed it, her son would be gone.
Zhou Shi frowned at this stupidity.
In the end, it was Wang Xiaocui's brother who rushed back from another place and persuaded her to sign. Li Le had worked with him on a construction site and had some feelings for him, so his uncle was also very distressed.
Logically speaking, the operation has nothing to do with the three people in the task force, but Li Le is the only witness. Although his confession has been recorded, it does no harm to have the witness alive.
The operation lasted a long time, and even Wang Xiaocui was tired of crying.
Suddenly someone came up and asked timidly, "Excuse me, who are the family members?"
Wang Xiaocui said with swollen eyes: "I am."
The person who came was not a doctor, but a middle-aged woman in her forties, wearing a black suit and not tall.
Judging from his aura, he is obviously not a hospital employee.
She was a little suspicious: "Your name is Xu Yiqing?"
The three members of the special task force who were some distance away from the Wang family were stunned when they heard this. Du Yu stood up from the bench and waved at her: "Over here."
The woman came over and asked, "Who is Xu Yiqing?"
Xu Yiqing said: "I am."
The woman showed a happy expression, "Then please get the death certificate and collect the insurance money."
"Whose death certificate?"
"Let me see...the death certificate of the insured person Liu Zhuhua."
