Chapter 463 [Policewoman and Police Dog 45]
In the autopsy room, Dabao was carefully examining the body. Suddenly, she exclaimed, "Boss, there is an injury on the back of the deceased's head. Although there is no wound, there are obvious abrasions and hematomas."
Qin Ming walked to the body, took a look, extracted some brick particles from the dead man's hair, and deduced: "This should be caused by bricks, right?"
Dabao nodded in agreement.
Qin Ming picked up the tools and prepared to perform a craniotomy on the body. After some operation, he looked at the brain tissue removed and said: "The injury to the deceased's head is not serious, just some bleeding and edema. It can be confirmed that this wound was formed before the gunshot wound."
At this time, a policeman came in and placed a blood-stained brick on the table.
Afterwards, everyone sat in the conference room to discuss the case.
Qin Ming spoke first: "I can confirm through the autopsy that the injury on the back of the deceased's head was caused by a brick."
Lin Tao added: "We also learned that the deceased went home to get some money at around 9:20 last night and then went out. He came back 10 minutes later to get the gun and was killed at around o'clock."
Dabao asked in confusion: "Why do you want to go back and get the gun?"
Qin Ming thought for a moment and answered, "The deceased only had 460 yuan on him. There are two possible scenarios. One is that the deceased had a conflict with someone, so he went home to get a gun to fight, but the other party took the gun away and killed him. The other is that the deceased was drunk and had a dispute at the card table, and was killed when he went back to get the gun. But if this is the case, then the four people who witnessed the scene are all suspects."
After further laboratory analysis, it was found that the alcohol concentration in the deceased's blood was close to the lethal dose. It can be inferred that the deceased was in a state of severe drunkenness at the time of the incident.
In addition, the police also found a brick with the same particles as the deceased's head from the crime scene and successfully extracted fingerprints.
However, what is puzzling is that no other fingerprints were detected on the surface of the gun and ballistics testing is currently underway.
Lin Tao showed Qin Ming the results of the fingerprint test on the brick. The fingerprints were sparse and incomplete. He speculated that the murderer must have picked up the brick with his fingertips, so no complete fingerprints could be left.
At the same time, the gun center reported that the gun was homemade, but there was an obvious problem - there was a gap between the trigger and the chamber. This meant that when the gun was fired, gunpowder would leak from the trigger. In this way, the murderer would have traces of gunpowder on his body.
Jiahui and Qin Ming returned to the crime scene for an in-depth investigation. Based on the marks on the bricks and the slight damage to the deceased's brain tissue, Jiahui boldly guessed that the murderer had small hands and little strength, and was most likely a woman.
Afterwards, Jiahui spotted a sneaky woman at the scene, so she chased after her and found out that the woman was the wife of the deceased, Hu Qi.
Qin Ming and Lin Tao continued to carefully analyze the situation at the scene. Qin Ming speculated: "From the scene, the murderer first knocked the victim to the ground with a brick, and then the gun in the victim's hand fell to the ground. Then, the murderer picked up the gun and shot the victim in the leg."
Lin Tao then asked: "Then why didn't anyone hear any shouting at the scene?"
Qin Ming explained: "This shows that the deceased was not afraid of the murderer, so he did not make any sound. After being shot in the leg, he was unable to cry for help due to fear and the effects of alcohol."
At this moment, Qin Ming suddenly realized that Jiahui's voice was missing. He looked around, but he couldn't see Jiahui. So he asked anxiously, "Where's my wife? Did you see where she went?"
Dabao and Lin Tao both shook their heads, indicating that they had been following Qin Ming closely and did not notice where Jiahui went.
Dabao comforted him, "Boss, maybe my sister-in-law went to investigate the case herself. Don't worry, my sister-in-law is very capable, nothing will happen to her."
Lin Tao also agreed, "Yes, Lao Qin, let's see if there are any other clues first."
Qin Ming nodded helplessly, temporarily put aside his worries, and continued to look for more evidence with them.
Jiahui followed Hu Qi's wife to Hu Qi's home. Before entering the house, Jiahui suddenly stopped and asked Hu Qi's wife: "You are Hu Qi's wife, right? Can you tell me about Hu Qi's situation?"
Hu Qi's wife nodded and said, "Okay, officer, I married Hu Qi when I was 18. He is a very honest man and gets along well with his neighbors."
Jiahui noticed that Hu Qi’s wife was a little nervous when she spoke, and her eyes were a little evasive, but she did not show any suspicion, just observed her silently.
Taking a closer look, Jiahui discovered that there were some scars on Hu Qi's wife's face, which looked like they were caused by repeated beatings.
Looking at the door again, there is a standing can, which should be a simple alarm.
In addition, Hu Qi's wife's face was yellow, which showed that she was in a state of long-term anxiety.
Based on these details, Jiahui deduced that the relationship between the couple was not good, and that Hu Qi often committed domestic violence against his wife.
Jiahui looked at Hu Qi's wife and asked softly, "The relationship between you and your wife doesn't seem to be going well, right?"
After hearing this, Hu Qi's wife realized that she had been seen through, so she stopped trying to cover up and said painfully: "When Hu Qi gets drunk, he becomes a different person and beats me up."
Jiahui continued to ask: "In this case, have you ever considered divorce?"
Hu Qi's wife laughed at herself and said in a low voice: "How could I not have thought about it? I even thought about committing suicide to end it all, but I was worried about my son, so I kept holding it in." She began to choke up as she spoke, and her emotions became more and more agitated.
Jiahui frowned and asked, "Is that why you killed Hu Qi?"
Hu Qi's wife shook her head with tears in her eyes and said, "I really didn't want to kill him! That night, Hu Qi got drunk and brought a gun home, shouting that he would kill us mother and daughter. I was very scared at the time, so I quietly followed him into the room, and when he wasn't paying attention, I picked up a brick and threw it at him. After he was knocked to the ground, I quickly snatched the gun from his hand. But I didn't expect him to suddenly turn around and hit me. I was so panicked at the time that I subconsciously pulled the trigger, and the bullet hit his leg. Seeing this scene, I was so scared that I ran away. When I calmed down and returned home, I found that he was lying on the ground motionless, and he had died long ago." After saying these words, Hu Qi's wife couldn't help crying.
At this time, Hu Qi's mother heard the sound and hurried over. Seeing the scene in front of her, her face turned pale instantly. She nervously pulled Jiahui's hand and explained anxiously: "This has nothing to do with my daughter-in-law. It's all my son's fault! My son is not a human being. Officer, you can't arrest my daughter-in-law. She has not had an easy life these years..." As she spoke, tears could not help but flow from her eyes.
Jiahui patted Hu Qi's mother's shoulder comfortingly and said softly, "Auntie, don't worry. We won't wrongly accuse a good person. I was just performing my official duties and needed to understand the specific circumstances at the time. Based on the current evidence, your daughter-in-law is very likely not guilty of intentional injury. At most, she will be given a lighter punishment."
After hearing this, Hu Qi's mother nodded with relief, but still asked with some concern: "Really?"
Jiahui answered affirmatively: "Of course it is true. I will report the situation truthfully and try to get you a lighter sentence. But the final result will depend on the decision of the leaders."
"Thank you, officer." Hu Qi's mother said with tears of gratitude.
Jiahui smiled and shook her head, indicating you're welcome, then turned and left the scene.
After leaving Hu Qi's house, Jiahui called Qin Ming and said in a brisk tone: "The case has been solved. The murderer is Hu Qi's wife. Hu Qi often abused his wife. On the night of the incident, he even threatened to kill his wife. His wife grabbed the gun and shot Hu Qi in the thigh. It was not fatal, so it does not constitute intentional injury."
Qin Ming smiled and said, "Thank you, my wife. If it weren't for you, I don't know when I could solve the case."
Jiahui responded gently: "Okay, I don't know you yet. It will take a little more time, and we can still solve the case."
Qin Ming said seriously: "This is different. With my wife here, it will be faster."
Jiahui said coquettishly, "You just keep talking nonsense."
Qin Ming quickly explained: "How could that be? Honey, this is just from my heart!"
