11.20, today is a cloudless day with a red sun in the sky, bringing a layer of warmth to the somewhat cold earth.
Gao Feng sat in the task force office, watching a movie with headphones on, complaining: "It's been almost a month since we had a case. Suddenly I feel that life is so boring!"
Wang Zheng was half lying on the sofa, holding the book of "Criminal Psychology" in both hands, looking at it constantly. Listening to Gao Feng's complaints, Wang Zheng couldn't help but say: "Isn't it better if there is no case? At least no one will die."
Huamei twisted her body and turned the swivel chair around, then said helplessly: "Gao Feng, why do I feel like you're just thinking about solving the case?"
"No way!" Gao Feng took off his headphones, turned around and said calmly, "I just feel like there haven't been any cases this month, and I feel very bored. Every day when I come to the police station I just deal with documents and watch movies. Now I'm just like a clerk."
"Isn't it good to be a clerk?" Wang Zheng sat up and put down the book in his hand , and then said with a look of relief: "If I hadn't come to the task force, maybe I would have gone."
Gao Feng said helplessly: "You really have great ambitions..."
"Ding-ling-ling~Ding-ling-ling~" The phone on the desk rang. Wang Zheng put down the book in his hand, walked to the desk, put the phone to his ear and asked, "Hello."
There was silence on the other end of the line , and then Officer Liu's voice came: "A murder has occurred."
"What?" Wang Zheng couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He glanced at Gao Feng who was watching a movie and muttered, "What a bad mouth." Then he turned around and said to the microphone, "Where is the location? I'll come over right away with someone."
Officer Liu: "The location is at Sea Garden, City B, Building C, 22nd floor. I've asked someone to wait for you downstairs."
"Okay." Wang Zheng hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking. He turned around, clapped his hands and said sternly: "Get ready, there's another case."
After hearing this, Huamei looked up at Wang Zheng with some curiosity and said with a smile: "Wang Zheng, you are not joking. Gao Feng just mentioned that there is a case, and it is really a case?"
Wang Zheng turned around and picked up the coat on the stool. He turned around and looked at Huamei seriously and said, "You and Gao Feng wait for me in the underground parking lot. I'll go call Bai Ling."
Seeing Wang Zheng's serious expression, Huamei knew that he was not joking, and hurriedly put the file in her bag, then stood up, took off Gao Feng's headphones and said, "It's time to go to work."
Gao Feng stared at the computer screen and said with a sigh, "There is no case, why should we go out for duty?"
Huamei patted his shoulder again and said, "It's a murder case. Wang Zheng has gone to call Bai Ling. Hurry up."
Gao Feng quickly took off his headphones after hearing this, turned around and said solemnly : "Are you really not joking?"
"Yes." Huamei said as she put on her coat, "Hurry up and get to the scene."
…
Standing in the elevator, Wang Zheng glanced at the time on his phone, then looked up at the middle-aged man in police uniform beside him and asked, "Officer Liu, tell me about this case."
Officer Liu nodded and replied: "The victim this time is a female. She died in the bathroom. Preliminary investigation showed five stab wounds on her body, two of which were fatal."
Bai Ling put on her mask and gloves and asked, "Has the crime scene been destroyed?"
"Well..." Police Officer Liu shook his head a little embarrassedly and said, "I really don't know..."
"Ding~" The elevator door opened and five people walked out one after another. At the end of the corridor, two uniformed police officers stood at the door waiting.
Wang Zheng and others walked into the room and followed Officer Liu to the outside of the bathroom.
A police officer in the bedroom was taking pictures of the crime scene. The bloodstains on the ground and in the bathroom tub were also marked.
A woman was lying quietly in the bathtub, wearing a blood-stained towel, with her head leaning against the wall. There were obvious scars on the woman's wrists and neck, and the bathtub was also stained red with blood.
"Bai Ling, you take a look first. Let's go see if there are any other clues." As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zheng turned and walked out, with Gao Feng and Hua Mei following him.
The bathroom leads to the hall, which is very neatly arranged. There are some unfinished fruits on the guest table.
Gao Feng looked at the items on the table and the marks on the ground, and couldn't help but ask in confusion: "The crime scene doesn't seem to have been cleaned up by the murderer?"
Wang Zheng squatted down and took a look under the table and sofa in the living room, then stood up and said, "To be precise, the crime scene has been destroyed."
Gao Feng also squatted down and looked under the table and sofa. He stood up and looked at Wang Zheng and asked, "What do you mean by that? "
"Did you see the mop placed by the door?" Wang Zheng turned around and looked at the mop placed by the door and said, "The murderer cleaned the room before leaving. Look at how neatly everything is arranged in the room. In fact, it was deliberately placed there by the murderer."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zheng raised his hand and pointed at the flower pot on the windowsill and said, "What did you see in that flower pot?"
Gao Feng looked at the flower pot on the windowsill and said in confusion: "I only saw a pot of flowers, nothing else?"
The thrush stood aside and said coldly: "The first branch on the right side of the flower pot is broken."
Gao Feng asked curiously, "What can you say if it's broken?"
"The murderer climbed in from the outside." Wang Zheng walked to the window sill and looked down. The window sill was nearly 60 meters high. He turned around and leaned his back on the window sill, looking up.
The building has 33 floors in total, and there are 11 floors on top, which is also more than 20 meters high. Just when Wang Zheng was curious about how the murderer got in, he saw a blurry footprint on the tiles above.
How could there be blurry footprints in this place? Wang Zheng couldn't help but feel a little curious, but then he thought about it, it had been raining in City B last night, so if they were left there last night, it shouldn't be surprising.
If the murderer really broke into the house, then there is a high possibility that this footprint belongs to the murderer!
Wang Zheng stood up and looked at Gao Feng and said, "There is also a footprint on it. This footprint is very likely left by the murderer. Try to make a rubbing of it."
"Okay, I'll find a way to make one." As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Feng went forward to take a look.
Huamei turned her head to look at Wang Zheng and asked, "Wang Zheng, could this be a murder case?"
"It's very likely." Wang Zheng turned around and looked at the windowsill solemnly.
