What cases are solved because of small details? I handled a case, a girl living alone, came back from a business trip and found a body in the rental house, soaking in the bathtub of the bathroom, which was highly corrupt, and the inflated giant could not see the appearance. When I
got the case, I was working on it.
Dead man. Old Xu, the
forensic doctor, came to me, looked at the thick stack of documents on my desk, and said, Let’s go and have a look at the scene.
This is a special case. It’s right up your alley.
The scene was in an old residential area in the suburbs. It’s a little desolate
around, and there’s not even a security guard in the neighborhood.
The house is not small, things are a little messy, but it is clean, and it can be seen that people live all the time.
On the way, Daxu told me that there was a girl living in this house. She was on a business trip for more than a month. When she came back, she found a body in the room.
The man was scared half to death and was taken away after calling the police. Everything was normal at home before
she left?
I listened and asked.
Sort of.
“Big Xu said vaguely,” Is it true or not? You’re a professional in solving cases. You’ll know when you get there. The
body was in the bathtub of the bathroom, highly decomposed, and the swollen giant could not see its appearance. As soon as
I walked in wearing a mask, my chest was pushed up by a bad smell, as if I had been strangled by a hand.
Dead for a long time.
“I fanned the scent and said,” What have you found? Of course, there is a reason for
calling you here. This corpse should be taken away directly for dissection, but I think it’s better for you to come and have a look.
“I looked sideways at Daxu with a puzzled look on my face.” And the corpse you can’t handle? You’ll find out if you take
a closer look.
He pointed and said, “Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Be careful.”.
I looked around at several tightly wrapped evidence officers and slowly re-entered the bathroom. Handling
more cases, corrupt corpses in the senses have been unable to give me a shock, in addition to the unbearable smell, which I still have a lingering fear.
An hour later, I knew that Daxu didn’t lie to me.
This body, it’s a little weird. The whole
head is soaked in the bathtub, because of corruption, the face is blurred.
Body part outside the bathtub, can roughly distinguish is a man, look at the figure, the person is relatively thin, not tall, about 1.7 meters. Some problems can be seen on the
small traces.
For example, there are injuries on the body, but from the distribution and area, it is not likely to be caused before death, but more likely to be caused after death.
Moreover, the posture of the corpse was so strange that it was riding on the edge of the bathtub with its head down and one leg slanting in the large built-in cabinet on the side wall of the bathtub. The decoration of such a large built-in cabinet on the wall above the
bathtub is also interesting.
The bathroom was also weird, there was such a big cabinet next to the bathtub, but the cabinet door was wide open and there was nothing inside.
But there is a small compartment at the door of the bathroom, filled with all kinds of women’s shampoo and bath products.
Walking out of the bathroom, Big Xu asked, “What did you find?”? How
do you think this man died? The
posture is too strange.
I ignored him and asked directly. His eyes lit up behind his
mask. “I said there was a problem. You’re really sharp-eyed.”. I put you in charge of
this case, and I really can’t trust anyone else. If
you hadn’t come, I would have dealt with the scene. I looked at it carefully
just now. Although the body was decayed, I could still see that there was no fatal trauma. The arms and legs were all intact, and there were no fatal wounds on the body. Although the
bathtub was mixed with body fluids, there was not much blood, but a lot of water.
“I frowned and said,” Did you die of a sudden illness? It
‘s a little weird.
“Big Xu said,” I feel like I died of poisoning.
The exact cause of death will not be known until the autopsy is done. Did you notice the gas water heater in the built-in cabinet?
I’ve seen it. It’s bad.
Carbon monoxide poisoning?
“I looked at him, and he said,” The point is, this house has nothing to do with the deceased.
He’s a stranger. Why did he go into the house of a girl living alone to take a shower? You have to ask the people who live in the house about
this.
“I said,” Where are the people? It was only when I
saw her that I learned that the resident was a woman in her thirties named Kao Yu-meng. She worked as a financial officer in an enterprise. She was a little fat, dressed in ordinary clothes, and was single and unmarried. The
house is rented, and she has lived here for half a year.
This business trip lasted for a long time. After returning home, he found the body and collapsed on the spot, so he called the police. I
saw Gao Yumeng in the hospital. She looked very weak and pale. We asked her about the place and reason of her business trip, which was consistent with what we learned from her unit. The neighbor who
lived opposite her also said that she did not see anyone coming in and out during this period.
We have investigated, and the company’s superiors and colleagues have a good evaluation of her.
According to what they said, although Gao Yumeng did not talk much, he worked very hard and got along well with his colleagues.
However, a female colleague did not seem to be interested in her and thought she was a little hypocritical. I’m in
my thirties and I’m not married yet. I usually go to the gym. Who knows if there’s anything going on outside.
The female colleague looked disdainful.
I looked at Han Dongsheng, a single young man who often went to the gym, with a bad smile on his face.
Gao Yumeng’s mood was very unstable, and it was not suitable to ask for a long time, so we didn’t stay too long.
But I have consulted a doctor, and this kind of shock is very quick to recover. Coming out
of the hospital, we rushed to the landlord.
The landlord, an old man in his early sixties, was silent and could not say a few words before he began to sigh.
Grandpa said that the house was entrusted to the intermediary for rent, and he did not know about the tenant.
Family income is not much, rent is an important source of income, who would have thought of this kind of thing, more worried. The water heater in
your house is a little strange.
I couldn’t help asking, This is the first time I’ve seen a water heater installed in a place like this. How could it be in the bathroom?
The old man squinted and thought for a long time before he said, In my old house, the bathroom was connected to the kitchen. Later, my son wanted to expand the bathroom, so he made the kitchen smaller. The
water heater was originally installed on the kitchen wall, but it was changed to the bathroom.
Han Dongsheng listened to the music. The bathroom and the kitchen are next to each other. The apartment of my uncle’s house is really good enough.
My face became heavy, and this change killed me. The
intermediary’s statement is no different from that of the uncle, and it is also not clear what happened to the inexplicable appearance of the male corpse.
Call the monitoring and find very few. There are almost no cameras in the
community, and they are all monitored by the streets outside. Judging
from the decay of the corpse, Daxu pushed back the male corpse and should have died a month ago. After
collecting the video, we did not find any suspicious persons in the surveillance coverage around the four-storey building.
But the angle of the house has a monitoring blind spot, which is not comprehensive.
This is a matter of no way, the monitoring of residential buildings, this is much more casual.
At that time, high-altitude parabolic objects were not taken seriously, and there were fewer cameras.
I’m not surprised.
Case detection is different from movies, it is impossible to get clues easily in a snap of fingers, a lot of investigation and analysis make people exhausted, and often nothing. There are still
accidents. The victim did die of poisoning, carbon monoxide poisoning.
Although Xu has said it before, I still feel strange. It’s rare to be poisoned
in someone else’s bath.
Carbon monoxide poisoning is generally caused by insufficient combustion of natural gas. There is a gas water heater in the
bathroom. It seems that this is an accident of water heater burning poisoning.
Gas water heaters are strictly prohibited from being used in enclosed spaces, because it is easy to form carbon monoxide and cause poisoning, but this house is just this structure. During the
scene investigation, I checked the switch of the gas water heater, and it was indeed on. The display dial of
natural gas has been covered with dirt, and I wiped it for a long time before I could see the reading clearly. The identity of the
deceased was quickly confirmed.
His name is Yang Ming. He works as an administrator in a logistics company. He is in his forties. He is very easy-going. He smiles at everyone and has a good reputation. I always work overtime
because of my work, so I don’t go home from time to time and live in the company dormitory. He went to work more than
a month ago and never came back.
Wife can not find others, but has called the police. After comparing
the missing case with the dead at hand, the identity was quickly confirmed. The family members of
the deceased cried and were very sad.
I frowned, with a huge question mark hovering in my mind: Why did Yang Ming appear in Gao Yumeng’s house?
Lover?
Han Tung-sheng said, It’s not surprising. I
went to Xiaosan’s house to take a shower, and I had an accident. That makes sense.
These two don’t look like lovers.
If Gao Yumeng is Yang Ming’s lover, we will not find any trace in their phone records.
Yang Ming’s economic strength is not enough to support him.
I asked Yang Ming’s colleagues and they all said that they didn’t find him in contact with other women at ordinary times.
The most important thing is, if he’s in and out of here, there’s no way the surveillance can’t catch him.
And with Gao Yumeng’s character, it’s more like living alone.
I remember when we visited the neighbors near the rental house with Yang Ming’s photos, the aunt next door looked surprised and asked who it was.
Talking about whether the girl who lives across the street has a boyfriend, the aunt can’t help laughing. “I even introduced her to a boyfriend, but she’s not interested.”.
You don’t know that the girl is cold. She has never brought any man home. She always comes and goes alone.
She thought about it and added, It’s very dangerous for a girl to live by herself. Last time she almost got gas poisoning at home, and she was lucky enough not to have a big accident.
We thanked him and left, and Han Tung-sheng was thoughtful. It’s possible that
Yang Ming is a thief.
“I thought about it and said,” At least it explains why the neighbors haven’t seen him.
No, his condition is not good, but it’s not bad, and he has a stable job, so why do you want to steal things?
Besides, stealing things and taking a shower at the scene?
Han Dongsheng said, Gao Yumeng doesn’t seem to be a rich man either.
It’s hard to say.
“I smiled.” There are all kinds of people. Go to the scene and have a look.
This time, Han Tung-sheng was right. There were no signs of turning over
at the scene, and it seems that there is no stolen goods.
Of course, whether there is theft or not, we have to wait for Gao Yumeng to judge.
But we didn’t find any valuables in the house, which basically means that the deceased didn’t come to steal anything, otherwise he would have packed the things he was going to take away in advance so that he could leave quickly.
I remembered the strange posture of the victim and the injuries on the body at the scene. After the autopsy
, Daxu once told me that the injuries were collision injuries, not serious, which should be caused by the deceased trying to get out of the bathtub when he was dying and tripping on the edge of the bathtub.
This case is a little interesting.
I squinted at the bathroom, and the cabinet door on the wall was like an open mouth, desperately trying to say something.
I asked Han Dongsheng, “Do you think the deceased really died in a bath?”?
“” Or what?
“He looked at me and said,” How can you die in such a small place without any other trauma? Don’t you think
this cabinet door is strange?
“I pointed to the wall.” There’s nothing inside. Why was the cabinet opened?
The deceased was unconscious at the time and may not have lost his ability to move completely. It is also possible that he stood up and scratched around and accidentally opened the cabinet door.
Han Dongsheng made a gesture, looked close to the cabinet and said.
Not necessarily.
“I pouted at him,” You try to get in.
Han Dongsheng stared at me for a long time without speaking, not knowing what medicine I was selling.
He approached the cabinet, took a closer look, and said, “Are you kidding me? How can I get in there when I’m so big?”?
You can’t get in.
“I said meaningfully,” Others are not so sure.
Han Dongsheng looked at me in a confused way.
Why did someone die in the house just when Gao Yumeng was on a business trip.
“I looked around and changed the question.” Don’t you think it’s a bit of a coincidence?
I don’t think so.
Han Dongsheng did not hesitate. You also said that she and Yang Ming did not know each other.
She’s not on a business trip. Can this person get into the house?
Indeed, this is the second floor. There is a strong fully enclosed guardrail
outside, and the door lock is not damaged. How did this man get in?
I have another idea.
Now, you have to come with me to the water company. What are you
going to do there?
Han Tung-sheng looked surprised.
I smiled, “You will know when you go.”. After being
discharged from the hospital, Gao Yumeng seemed to recover very quickly. When I saw her
again, she looked much better and seemed to be a little fatter. She was not surprised to
see us, and even took the initiative to smile. Thanks for
your hard work.
“She said softly,” I’m giving you trouble.
“” No trouble.
This is our job.
But we have to trouble you. I have a few questions. Please answer them.
Gao Yumeng nodded with a faint smile on her face.
You said you didn’t know the deceased, but from the scene investigation, we can see that your protective facilities are perfect, the door locks and windows are not damaged, and there is no other possibility except to enter through the gate.
“I said,” It seems that the deceased Yang Ming has the key to your house. I was on a business trip at
that time. How did he get into my house? How did I know? It is not often said in the
news that some professional thieves are not difficult to unlock and silent.
Gao Yumeng is a little unhappy.
I waved my hand and asked, “Do you usually take a shower at home?”?
Isn’t that nonsense?
Kao Yu-meng sneers. Where can I take a shower if I’m not at home?
“” At the gym.
“And I said,” Right?
Gao Yumeng was stunned and did not speak for a long time.
I knew I was right, so I went on to say, “Our on-site investigation found that the water heater in the room was broken and had already gone wrong.”.
The landlord is not clear, but the agent must have reminded you when he rented the house.
It’s not very easy to use.
Kao Yu-meng says, I seldom use it. It’s
not rarely used.
“I corrected her,” You never use that water heater.
We’ve looked at your stock of natural gas, and it’s gone.
“I went on to say,” I asked your colleagues, and you revealed in your chat that you never cook at home, but eat out or order takeout. What does it have to do
with where I take a shower?
Gao Yumeng asked.
Although you don’t need natural gas at all, we have checked that your gas stock is gone.
Why?
Gao Yumeng was silent and did not speak for a long time.
You never take a shower at home, but Yang Ming died of carbon monoxide poisoning in your bathroom.
“I said,” Don’t you think that’s strange? What’s so strange about
that.
Gao Yumeng’s voice was not loud, but he was very angry. Maybe he turned on the water heater to take a bath and died. What does it matter to me?
I didn’t say you would die if you turned on the water heater.
“I smiled.” Looks like you know.
Gao Yumeng’s face changed and she licked her lips subconsciously.
You said Yang Ming turned on the water heater by himself, but we didn’t find his fingerprints on the switch of the water heater.
“I looked at Gao Yumeng and said,” I did find your fingerprints.
Of course, it’s not surprising that your water heater has your fingerprints.
But then again, the water heater will produce carbon monoxide when it burns, and if you use it, it’s fine.
Yang Ming died only once, which was really unlucky.
I’ve checked the gas valve. The rust is very heavy, but the turning mark is very new. It should have been unscrewed recently.
I looked straight at Gao Yumeng. The handle is rubber, so it’s easy to get fingerprints, and we did get your fingerprints.
We checked the surveillance nearby, and we didn’t find anything unusual before your business trip.
But the day before your business trip, a thin man walked into the neighborhood. It was Yang Ming.
Although there is no surveillance in the community, we infer that he has been to your house. You went out early
the next morning. The company said that this business trip was originally scheduled to leave three days later, but you left early, just one day after the deceased entered the community. Why were you in such a hurry?
This shows that you weren’t on a business trip when Yang Ming entered your house.
I emphasized my tone. We have checked the cabinet on the
bathroom wall. There are traces of Yang Ming’s physical evidence and tiny bloodstains on it. He should have been in that cabinet.
We’ve tried it. A tall grown man can’t hide in it, but a short, thin man is another matter.
Gao Yumeng obviously shivered and clenched his lips.
Although Yang Ming was naked when he died, judging from the position in which he was found dead, I don’t think he was taking a bath.
“I went on to say,” But there was water in the bathtub. The question is, if he wasn’t taking a bath, who put the water in the bathtub? What exactly are
you trying to say?
Gao Yumeng’s voice trembled.
Don’t get excited, I’m not finished.
“I said,” The dead man was naked, he had a pair of shorts on his body, and the rest of his clothes were missing.
We checked your house and found no clothing.
This is strange, a big man, where are the clothes?
Surveillance showed that he was dressed neatly when he entered the community.
Gao Yumeng did not speak, but changed his sitting position and lowered his head. After
you called the police, we quickly sealed the crime scene and no one could take anything from it.
Tell me, where did these clothes go?
“I stared at her and continued,” It took us a lot of trouble to find these clothes. There are few decent garbage cans in the
community, but there is an open space for garbage accumulation, which seems to have not been cleaned up for months, and the smell is unbearable.
“I said slowly,” Compared with Yang Ming’s clothes in the roadside surveillance in front of the community, we extracted his clothes in that garbage field.
DNA showed that the clothes were Yang Ming’s.
I slowed down my speech and looked at Gao Yumeng and said, We also extracted another person’s DNA from the clothes, that is, you.
Gao Yumeng looked at me and asked, You mean, I took these clothes with me, why did I do that?
Then only you know.
I looked sideways at Han Dongsheng, whose eyes were flashing, and then said, I believe we will find other traces of Yang Ming from your house.
I found two gray marks on the ceiling of your bedroom and in the corner of the living room. If I’m not wrong, it should be the place where the surveillance is installed.
But your colleagues in the company say that you are usually careless and always forgetful. This cautious style is not your style.
Unless something happens to make you nervous.
“I stared at her and said,” So you put surveillance in the room.
You hid the surveillance to hide that.
But this is the age of online shopping, and to prove it, it’s easy to check the shopping records in your mobile phone.
I remind you that no matter where you hide the memory card, it will be found eventually.
Some words are better said now.
“I said slowly,” in case you don’t have a chance when you want to speak.
It’s not what you think.
Kao Yu-meng finally spoke in a heavy tone.
Now that I think of it, things have been wrong since I rented this house.
She said softly.
Half a year ago, I rented this house through an agent.
As you can see, the house is very simple. I can make do with it, and I don’t care. Although
this place is remote, it is only a few stops away from my company by bus. It is very convenient to go to work and the price is not expensive, so I moved in happily.
Now that I think of it, there’s a reason why houses are cheap.
Gao Yumeng’s face changed.
Several times when I came home from work, I always felt that someone was watching me from behind.
I’ve always had a big heart, but I just felt strange and didn’t take it to heart.
In fact, I got off work very early, at six o’clock. There were many people on the road at that time, but there was no need to be afraid.
But I usually have to go to the gym after work, take a shower after exercise, and then go back, that’s seven or eight o’clock in the evening.
Every time I get off the bus and walk back, I always feel that something is wrong. It seems that I am following someone not far away.
Although I have looked around and found nothing unusual, women’s intuition has always been very accurate, and I have had this strange feeling several times.
But when I got home and closed the door, I was at ease.
Gao Yumeng said.
Who knows, this is the beginning of the nightmare.
Her voice dropped again. The house
I rented was on the second floor. When I checked in, none of the four windows had guardrails. At that time, the agent also reminded me that besides the water heater was broken, the four windows should also pay attention to theft prevention.
After all, it’s not safe on the second floor.
Kao Yu-meng says, That’s why the rent is cheaper. I have to solve all this by myself. I’m used to being careless, and I don’t take it to heart.
Slowly, I found that I began to lose things.
When Kao Yu-meng finished saying this, I asked, To be clear, what is missing?
Underwear or something.
“She whispered,” I hang out my underwear on the balcony, and every once in a while I lose one. Once a pair of silk underwear I
just bought was missing, and I had to look for it for a long time.
I remember that it must have been drying on the balcony, but it was not in the clothes hanging on the hook. Is
your balcony on the second floor?
I asked knowingly. Of
course.
Kao Yu-meng says, At that time, I also thought that the wind had blown it off. Under the balcony was the canopy on the first floor, and there were all kinds of messy things on it.
I looked up once, and I was so disgusted that I didn’t look down again. If you
lose it, you lose it. Just buy another one.
As a result, a few days later, I lost another bra.
She blushed. Anyway, it’s women’s stuff. After a while, there will be one less. After two months of
this, I didn’t think it was right.
Gao Yumeng cut her hair and said, What really caught my attention was that the uncle on the first floor was cursing his mother one day, saying that his flowerpot had been smashed.
His voice was so loud that I could hear him.
At that time, I was watering the flowers on the balcony, so I listened carefully, and the more I listened, the more afraid I was.
The uncle said that his flowerpot had been crushed by some bastard, and he was very angry.
His flowers were right under my balcony, and I suddenly realized that it might have something to do with my lost underwear.
“I nodded and said,” Obviously, someone climbed up on your balcony.
Yes, I broke out in a sweat and hurriedly put down the watering can. I immediately called the master to install the guardrail.
Kao Yu-meng said nervously, It was installed the next afternoon.
We noticed. No wonder the guardrails are so new.
“I said,” The kitchen is not installed, why?
At that time, the installation master said that it was not easy to install, and that it would have to be installed next time.
Kao Yu-meng explained, I promised, but the next day I happened to have something to do, so the window was not installed.
Later, I saw that there were wires under the window, and there was no shelter, and the window was very narrow, so it was very difficult for ordinary people to come in from here, so I didn’t continue to look for people because of the trouble.
I did not speak, but shook my head gently.
Sure enough, the guardrail was installed, and the underwear was never lost again.
I gradually feel relieved, but I still look behind me warily when I get off work, but I never feel like being followed again.
But two months ago, something even scarier happened.
Gao Yumeng’s face twitched a few times and she said, I began to find things lost again, and what was even more terrible was that some of the things in the house were not placed right.
“” What’s wrong with Jinfa?
Make it clear.
I asked.
I don’t like to tidy up, so my house is not tidy.
But I probably know where my things are, especially clothes.
Two months ago, I noticed that the clothes at home seemed to have been touched. For example, the underwear I put on the armrest of the sofa before I went to work turned into the back of the sofa when I came home.
And the underwear drying on the balcony is not in the original position. After my
last experience, I immediately raised my guard this time.
But the first thing I thought of at that time was the landlord or the intermediary.
Kao Yu-meng looked up. The agent looking for a house is a small company, and it’s very informal.
I was looking for them on the cheap. The staff was complicated and the mobility was large. When I called, I found that the agent who rented the house for me had already left.
The landlord is unlikely, after all, you have changed the key soon after you moved in, which we have known before.
Besides, the landlord is an old man, and the activities are very inconvenient. Even if he has the heart, he doesn’t have the ability.
Yes, at that time I thought that the agent who left my job had stolen something from me, so I quickly changed the door lock, and every time I went out, I would turn the door lock around twice, shaking it without any problem before leaving. Is that why
you installed the monitoring?
I asked, remembering the gray indentations.
‘Yes.
Kao Yu-meng says, I was going to move.
But also think, if it is the intermediary, he has left, should not come again.
And I changed the lock, so I shouldn’t have a chance to sneak into my house again.
You are bold enough.
Han Tung-sheng couldn’t help but say, So you don’t move, and you don’t call the police?
To tell you the truth, I only suspect, and I’m not sure, that someone has been in my house.
Kao Yu-meng said shyly, After all, there is no evidence at hand.
It’s just a guess. It won’t be accepted even if you call the police, right?
I didn’t know much about it, so I didn’t say anything.
“” Go on.
Listen to what you mean, and then something happened.
I said.
That’s right.
Gao Yumeng shrank up. The surveillance camera I installed is connected to the mobile phone, so you can see the situation in the room from the mobile phone.
Originally, I wanted to give myself courage to use it, and I didn’t intend to record anything, but when I went to work that day, I took a look at my mobile phone, and I was shocked. The
first time I looked at it, I thought there was something wrong in the bedroom.
Just as I was about to look carefully, I saw a dark shadow in front of the camera. I was so
frightened that I stood up and a layer of sweat broke out on my back. I
didn’t expect to be photographed by me. Is it the
deceased Yang Ming?
I asked, feeling that the time had come.
I don’t know.
Gao Yumeng’s answer was beyond my expectation. She was stunned for a moment. The camera was very blurred and flashed by.
What about Yang Ming?
Have you seen it?
I asked.
Sort of.. Yes, I have.
Kao Yu-meng said, biting his lips. Did you
also see it on the mobile phone surveillance?
Han Dongsheng asked.
No.
Kao Yu-meng trembled all over. I’ve only seen this one on my cell phone. I was almost scared out of my mind. Neither man nor woman could see it clearly. Han Dongsheng and
I looked at each other. I was so
scared that I sat there for a long time and didn’t recover.
Until I got off work, I stared at the screen of my mobile phone, but I didn’t see the shadow again.
I was totally confused, but somehow, I didn’t go to the gym and went straight home from work. Maybe
I was scared out of my wits, and my first reaction was to go back and pack my things and run away.
I wanted to find a colleague to be with me, but I was used to being a loner in the company. I didn’t know who to look for for a while, so I had to go back by myself.
“She sniffed and said,” When I got to the door, I remembered that there might be someone inside. I was so scared that I turned around and wanted to run.
Looking at the intact door lock, I realized that it was not the agent who did it, because I changed the lock. If it’s really a person on the
surveillance, it must have come in from somewhere else.
I stared at my phone for a long time at the door, and finally gritted my teeth and went in.
But I was afraid that the thing would open the gate and go in before it left, ready to escape at any time. After I
went in, I turned on all the lights and looked at all the places behind the door where people could hide, and then I was sure there was nothing else in the house.
Gao Yumeng said, I was going crazy at that time, and I definitely couldn’t sleep here at night. I quickly packed up some personal clothes and some materials related to the company’s business, and then fled and left.
Do you remember what day it was?
I listened and asked.
Number.
Kao Yu-meng immediately said, I remember very clearly that it was very cloudy every day.
In that case, why did you go back?
I was a little puzzled. According to our investigation, you left by train on the afternoon of the 17th. The surveillance on the road at the entrance of the
community shows that you go home before you leave.
I went back to get my ID card, but I forgot it in a hurry the night before yesterday.
Gao Yumeng said, I left my ID card in the house. I can’t get on the bus
without my ID card. I have to go back anyway.
Why didn’t you call the police?
“Han Dongsheng asked,” The surveillance pictures are so clear. I didn’t think so much
at that time. I just wanted to get out of that place quickly. I have to go on a business trip
anyway, and I will solve this matter when I come back.
Gao Yumeng relaxed for a moment and went on to say, Besides, I’ve been in this company for some time, and recently the company is going to promote a group of employees.
If I call the police, I must go to the company to investigate, which is not good for me.
Because there was no one at home the day before, and I had been paying attention to the surveillance pictures at home, there was nothing unusual.
So when I went back the next day, I was not so nervous.
But after entering the door, I am still very careful, the pace is much lighter, in the bedroom for a long time, did not see the ID card, a little anxious, wondering if it will fall under the bed, I intend to probe to see.
As soon as I turned on the flashlight of my cell phone, my heart missed a beat, and my vigilance suddenly rose. To be
careful, I slowly sat down on the bed, lifted a small corner of the mattress, and looked sideways under the bed along the foot of the bed.
Gao Yumeng said with a trembling voice, “Just for a second, I vaguely saw a face under the bed!” Not to mention Han Dongsheng, even I gasped and got goose bumps all over my body.
I almost cried out and covered my mouth.
Because the man was looking sideways at the front of the bed, and I was looking down from the side of the bed, he didn’t seem to know that I had found him. I
didn’t dare to make a big move. I sat on the bed for a while and then slowly stood up holding the mattress.
At that time, he was so frightened that his legs were weak. He gently held the wall and went outside. He immediately hid in the kitchen and locked the door.
Why don’t you just go out?
“I asked,” Wouldn’t it be better to just run out? The
door was locked.
Kao Yu-meng said hurriedly, When I closed the door, I locked it from the inside. It was meant to be safe, but it became an obstacle to going out. I
was afraid that I didn’t have enough time to open the door with the key, so I went straight to the kitchen.
My hands and feet were cold, and I didn’t dare to call out for fear of startling the man under the bed. When I
shut the kitchen door, I gritted my teeth and tried not to make a sound.
Until I looked back and saw the window in the kitchen, I immediately understood.
“” Understand what?
Han Dongsheng asked hurriedly. I hadn’t paid attention to it
before, but this time I was so focused that I found that the window was unclosed, revealing a very narrow gap. Only then did
I understand why someone still came in after changing the door lock. In fact, the person did not go in through the door at all. The
window is where the man came in.
Pushing open the window, I found a pocket hanging on the wire outside.
Because the kitchen door was locked, I dared to open it and see that it was a man’s suit. What shocked me
even more was that my ID card was in the pocket of that jacket! No wonder I couldn’t find it. It was put away by this man.
She took a deep breath and said, I was a little dizzy when I looked back through the frosted glass in the kitchen and saw a dark figure walking from the bedroom in the direction of the bathroom.
The man must have thought I was taking a shower.
Gao Yumeng said, I didn’t go to the gym that day and went straight home. I wanted to get my ID card and leave quickly.
At that time, I turned on the water heater casually, while looking for things while putting water, I wanted to make do with it after boiling hot water.
The man probably heard the sound of water in the bathroom and went that way.
“She said coldly.” That means he doesn’t know I found him.
The bathroom was right on the side of the door, and I was scared to death when I passed by.
“She said,” Fortunately, it was all right and I got out smoothly. I really took
the clothes away and threw them away. At that time, I wanted to get my ID card in a panic, and I thought that it was not convenient for the man to come out without clothes, so I took the clothes out.
“I didn’t speak. I thought about it and then asked,” You mean water heater was on when you left?
“Gao Yumeng nodded,” At that time, should I go back to close it?
You are so lucky.
“I sighed,” This man broke into your house and found you home halfway. Not only did he not run away, but he didn’t hurt you. Instead, he took the initiative to run to your bathroom and died of poisoning?
It’s called retribution.
“She said bitterly,” Maybe I was killed by this man that day because of a little carelessness. I’ve been having nightmares every night
since I left.
Even if everything is normal when I come back from my business trip, I will call the police immediately. Seeing the man’s face under the bed
with my own eyes, I will never forget this scene! Looking at Kao Yu-meng’s resentful face, I can’t help but sigh with emotion: I’ve been handling cases for so many years, and there are very few people who can describe the situation at the scene in such detail. A smile slowly appeared on
Gao Yumeng’s face. Thank you. I really have a good memory.
After all, I’m a victim, and it’s normal to be impressed. Are
you just a victim?
I looked at her meaningfully. What do
you mean?
Her voice rose.
There is no denying that you are a victim, but you have only told part of the truth.
“I said,” Again, the physical evidence at the scene will fully restore the facts, and it will be too late to confess at that time.
This is the truth. I’m
a victim, and I don’t deserve your questioning.
You said I didn’t tell the truth, so you tell me, what is the truth?
I don’t know why, or for what purpose, Yang Ming walked into your bathroom.
But you’re right about one thing, Yang Ming did take off his clothes on his own initiative. No signs of damage were found on the clothes
we found.
Yang Ming had a criminal record of indecency, and later paid the other party some money, so there was no record.
Obviously, Yang Ming is a recidivist. Judging from the way he locked your house, entered the room, and stole clothes, this is not the first time he has done this. Hi
ding naked in the cupboard, perhaps intending to peep at the sight of your bath.
In the eyes of this pervert, there is an incomparable pleasure and excitement in watching the victim bathe in front of him.
“I leaned over.” But to my surprise, he died in your bathroom. That’s what puzzles me.
You did turn on the water heater that had not been used for a long time.
I looked at Gao Yumeng, whose eyes were getting sharper and sharper, and said, But one thing is that the water heater will produce carbon monoxide when it burns. You must know that. Maybe you have suffered losses because of this before.
For whatever reason, you haven’t been able to repair it. It’s a perfect time for Yang Ming to enter the bathroom with such a dirty purpose.
We checked your recent water consumption.
“I said with emphasis,” It’s amazing.
Not to mention that you have been on a business trip for a month, even if you have been at home all the time, you can’t use so much water.
You said yourself that you were frightened when you left and didn’t turn off the shower, so the water kept flowing. Is that really the case? Is it really so coincidental?
I stared at her and said.
Carbon monoxide poisoning happens in silence, and Yang Ming won’t feel anything.
Coupled with the temperature of water vapor transpiration, it is even more difficult to detect.
Finally, he lost consciousness in the cabinet, fell heavily into the bathtub, and struggled several times without climbing out.
I couldn’t help saying, Everything is perfect, because you don’t use gas at ordinary times, and the only gas left is soon used up. After that, Yang Ming’s body gradually decays in the sound of water.
Until you get home and turn the switch.
I breathed a sigh of relief. It’s all over.
Kao Yu-meng did not speak for a long time. He was silent for a long time before he stood up and said, Slander! I’m the victim, and you’re making me out to be the killer? Have
you ever thought that maybe that man sneaked into my house with the intention of doing violence to me or even killing me. How did
he know where I lived? Have you investigated all
these?
“” We checked.
I said frankly, Yang Ming is a logistics executive, and it’s not complicated to know your address.
Perhaps he has already noticed you, this kind of pervert has a strong purpose, in order to satisfy the desire can do a lot of incredible things.
You’re a victim, but you’re not just a victim.
As I told you before, you can rest assured that my reasoning will naturally be supported by physical evidence.
“I stood up and said,” Like, your surveillance video.
When we have enough evidence to sit opposite me again, I hope you can still be so righteous.
Yang Ming is hiding in the closet. Won’t he run away from carbon monoxide poisoning?
After Kao Yu-meng left, Han Tung-sheng asked in puzzlement.
Carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless, and one of the typical symptoms of poisoning is weakness in the limbs and loss of mobility.
I said. When
people are in a state of excitement, their demand for oxygen will increase sharply, and the brain will be in a state of extreme excitement, so the sensory stimulation of the surrounding things will decrease.
For Yang Ming, who was naked in the cabinet, the poisonous gas was inhaled into the nasal cavity very quickly when his heart was beating violently and his adrenal gland was secreting rapidly.
With the transpiration of the surrounding water mist and the high temperature, it is even more difficult to detect. Is it so exciting to
watch a woman in the shower?
Han Dongsheng scratched his head. Incredible. Not surprising
for a pervert.
“I sighed.” It was disgusting, but he didn’t deserve to die.
I have another doubt. Didn’t you say that the protective facilities in her house were perfect?
Han Dongsheng then asked, How did you find out that there was a problem with the window? Of the
four external windows, she only installed three guardrails.
“I exhaled.” Isn’t that obvious?
I said that sentence at that time was a test. If she denied it, she must have known the existence of Yang Ming in advance.
She was smart enough not to fall for it.
I looked at Han Tung-sheng and said, I immediately changed the subject.
At that time, I felt that this woman was not simple.
Han Dongsheng did not speak again, but silently nodded his head. This is the end of the
matter. I can tell you that, whether intentionally or unintentionally, everyone should pay for the mistakes they have made.
Even this man is a victim himself.
As a woman living alone, safety is the most important thing.
Here are some personal suggestions, including but not limited to girls living alone: 1. If there is no better security and property in the residential area, try not to rent, especially in the suburbs far away from the crowd.
2. When renting a room, first check for hidden cameras, especially in the bathroom and bedroom.
If you live below the fourth floor, be sure to install guardrails outside the balcony and windows.
4. Small advertisements are rampant today, whether it is your own door or the neighbor’s, if there are colorful small cards, be sure to clean them up in time, which shows that your house is inhabited.
Otherwise, it may make people think that no one lives there and cause unnecessary trouble.
5. When the entrance guard rings for no reason, you can answer it, but don’t press the open button.
Same reason as above.
6. If deemed necessary, install a camera in a hidden corner of the home that can be viewed at any time.
7. The door lock must be strong.
No matter how reliable and honest the landlord seems, once rented, the door lock should be changed immediately.
8. If the balcony is visible, men’s clothes can be hung.
Shoes should not be taken off outside the door as far as possible, and all women’s shoes are easy to attract attention.
9. Takeout and express delivery should not be written to the specific house number, but to the building number.
The recipient should write “Mr. X” instead of using his real name.
If you don’t want to go downstairs to pick it up, mark “call when you arrive”, inform the other party of the floor when the express arrives, and pick it up in the corridor.
10. Girls who often stay in hotels on business trips can take a door stopper with them and sleep better at night.
Also, if the water heater is faulty, it must be repaired or replaced in time.
