Wrongful Death Criminal Investigation

Chapter 257 2



Chapter 257 2

The forensic doctor who appeared on the scene was Jiang Han, which surprised Qiu Shaoyang. Jiang Han hadn't appeared on the scene for a long time.

Jiang Han nodded to Qiu Shaoyang: "Consultant Qiu."

Qiu Shaoyang smiled back and asked, "How did you die?"

Jiang Han: "Consultant Qiu, do you want to see if you can see something?"

Qiu Shaoyang didn't shirk, and walked to the side of the corpse.

Jiang Han handed him gloves.

Qiu Shaoyang took the belt and looked at the marks on the neck of the deceased one last time, "It was strangled."

Jiang Han nodded: "That's right, it was strangled, not hanged as they reported to the police. The traces left during life are different from those left after death. This corpse was first strangled to death, and then hung up."

Identifying the method of death is not difficult for the criminal police. Qiu Shaoyang can easily do it, and Mingtang and the others can do the same.

However, it is difficult for people who do not often deal with dead bodies to recognize this, so it is normal for them to be confused whether they were hanged or strangled.

Qiu Shaoyang asked, "What time was the death time?"

Jiang Han: "The time of death is within 12 hours, which should be around zero, with an error of one hour."

Qiu Shaoyang nodded and began to look around for traces.

Jiang Han: "We will move the corpse back to the Municipal Bureau first."

"it is good."

Qiu Shaoyang looked at the place where he was hanged. The rope was hung on the beam. The load-bearing beam in the middle of the beam was about three meters above the ground. The way the rope was knotted was very interesting. There were traces of dragging on the ground. , The murderer should be a person, and this person is not very strong.

It is obvious that Fang Chi was strangled to death, and the rope was knotted around his neck. Then someone passed the rope through the beam, grabbed the other end of the rope, and then hung the deceased up. After the height was high enough, the deceased was put into the On the prepared rope, untie the original rope, thus forging the hanging situation.

If you have enough strength, you don't need to hang the dead in this way, you can tie the rope and hang the dead directly.

From this, Qiu Shaoyang deduced that the murderer should not be very big, his arm was injured and he could not use his strength, or he was petite.

For such a person, choosing to strangle the victim is actually a very difficult thing, and stabbing to death with a knife is easier than strangling to death. What is the purpose of choosing this thankless method?

Such a design does not seem to be a temporary idea, but premeditated.

Remembering that Su Yao said that the way Fang Chi died was exactly the same as the way he died in this play, so Qiu Shaoyang went to Mingtang.

"Can you help me find Fang Chi's assistant, or Fang Chi's script?"

Mingtang didn't know what Qiu Shaoyang wanted to do, and said, "Yes."

Fang Chi's assistant is Shi Xiaochun, who has followed Fang Chi for many years.

Ming Tang called her over.

Shi Xiaochun was obviously in a frightened state at this time, and his whole body was a little bereaved.

Qiu Shaoyang said: "You don't need to feel pressure, I just want to ask something about Fang Chi."

Shi Xiaochun nodded.

There are too many people here, so Qiu Shaoyang pointed to a tree not far away. At this time, it was a shaded place under the tree. The tree was surrounded by flower beds, and tiles were pasted on it, so they could just sit there and chat. , "Let's go over there."

Shi Xiaochun followed Qiu Shaoyang to the tree.

Shi Xiaochun looked around thirty, not tall and thin.

Qiu Shaoyang asked: "I heard that your drama was filmed here, and a lot of things happened. Is it true?"

Shi Xiaochun looked at Qiu Shaoyang suspiciously, not understanding why he asked such a question.

Qiu Shaoyang explained: "Because Fang Chi's death method corresponds to the death method of the story prototype, and the place of death is also the place where the prototype died, so I am more curious about what incredible things happened during your filming here. Help me make a judgment on the direction of the case investigation.”

"it is true."

Qiu Shaoyang: "Then please tell me in detail the story you filmed, and the things that happened during your filming."

Shi Xiaochun nodded: "Our drama has a total of [-] episodes, and the main story revolves around the story here. The protagonist of the story is a murderous demon. His father died of illness in his early years, and his mother was a deaf-mute. After his father died, his mother took The protagonist lives in the village with difficulty. The life of an orphan and widow is always difficult. Her mother is in poor health, and later she was bullied and conceived his younger brother. In this village, there were more close relatives married in the early years, and all the offspring were more or less For some problems, there are a lot of bachelors in the village.”

"These people can't marry wives. The protagonist's orphans and widowed mothers are the targets of their bullying. The protagonist's mother died of dystocia, and his younger brother died early. The village director took the protagonist to his home. The village director is a good person, but the village director's family The child doesn’t like the protagonist, and will isolate him and bully him, leading to his final psychological problems. Later, at the wedding of the eldest son of the village director’s family, the protagonist put drugs in their food, killed them all, and hanged himself at home."

Qiu Shaoyang pointed to the place where he was hanged, and said, "Is that place the original home of the protagonist in the story, or the home of the village director who raised him?"

Shi Xiaochun said: "That was his original home."

Qiu Shaoyang: "Then what supernatural things happened when you were filming?"

Shi Xiaochun said: "Basically, some things happen every day. Sometimes the equipment on the scene breaks down without warning, and sometimes the lights fall off. The most serious one is when the protagonist fights with others. The props and knives are prepared. , but the real thing is a real knife, fortunately Brother Fang discovered it early, otherwise he would have stabbed the actor directly to death."

"Are all the questions raised by your crew only for Fang Chi, or for everyone?"

Shi Xiaochun thought for a while, and then said: "There are more attacks against Brother Fang, but other people will also have accidents, but the probability is not so high. For example, the male number two in the previous drama, who joined the group for two or three days, suddenly I broke my leg, and I broke it flat.”

"Break your leg on flat ground?" Qiu Shaoyang felt very strange: "How could you break your leg on flat ground?"

"I don't know what happened." Shi Xiaochun said: "Anyway, it was broken, and then I couldn't continue filming. I had no choice but to change people. So at that time, some people said that it might be a ghost."

"Any more?"

Shi Xiaochun nodded: "Yes, there is a well in the backyard. One of our field workers fell into it for some reason, and he was drowned when we fished it out. It was also a strange thing that fell into it, as if someone pushed the well. Like him, he staggered and went in, but there was no one in front of him at the time."

Qiu Shaoyang didn't believe that there were any ghosts in this world at all.

Then he asked, "Apart from these, what else?"

"Some people say that they often see a ghost shadow floating by on the wall next to it. They swear by it. Many people say they saw it with their own eyes."

"It's just a shadow, right?"

Shi Xiaochun nodded.

It is actually not difficult to make shadows float across the wall, and projection is enough, but for the staff on site, they may still be frightened when they see such a situation unexpectedly.

Shi Xiaochun continued: "Actually, there is one more bizarre thing, but Brother Fang has not said it."

"what's up?"

Shi Xiaochun: "Brother Fang said that he went out to the bathroom that day, and when he came back, he saw a hanged ghost in the corner."

"There are no ghosts in the world, there are only other people's pretending to be ghosts."

"Brother Fang also said the same thing, so he didn't tell anyone else about such a thing. He just asked me to find it for him to see who was trying to fight him." Shi Xiaochun sighed: "Our Brother Fang I have been an actor for almost 20 years, and I have been very popular. Later, because of illness, I had to retire for a while. After I came back, my popularity was not as good as before. I have never received a better role, and this drama is the best that Brother Fang has received so far. Brother Fang cherishes this opportunity very much, so I really want to know who is behind the scenes."

Qiu Shaoyang asked: "Then have you found this person?"

Shi Xiaochun shook his head: "I don't know if it's hidden too deep, or it's black fans or something. I've been observing for more than half a month, and I haven't found anyone who is obviously hostile to Brother Fang."

"That means no one targeted Fang Chi on the set, does that mean?"

"Yes." Shi Xiaochun said: "Brother Fang has debuted for many years, and he understands some rules of the entertainment industry very clearly. He is also a very good-tempered senior. The crew is a small producer, but everyone is very dedicated and demanding. Standard, and everyone's salary is not high, the pursuit is quality, this drama does not have any money to join the group, although most of the newcomers, but the level of newcomers is good."

"Furthermore, the director of this show, Director Fei, is Brother Fang's ex-wife. Although the two of them are divorced, the relationship between Brother Fang and Director Fei is still very good. They are the type who get together and stay apart. No matter who has difficulties, in addition Anybody will help."

Qiu Shaoyang felt that it was quite rare. It is very respectable for divorced couples to be separated from each other, but there are indeed very few of them who can help each other like this.

"Then is there any child between the two of them?"

Shi Xiaochun shook his head: "No."

Qiu Shaoyang: "Then why did they divorce in the first place?"

And it seems like no one even knew that the two were ever married.

Shi Xiaochun said: "I came to work as Brother Fang's assistant after his comeback, but the agent told me that Brother Fang and Director Fei had a relationship in the early years because of drama, and their personalities are too similar, and they are both very strong. , so I got divorced later. Director Fei has remarried now, and his daughter is in kindergarten. Originally, there was a big-budget drama that asked us Brother Fang first, and Director Fei’s original male lead in this drama was not Brother Fang either. , but another old actor. But the protagonist of this drama is a big villain, and our drama pays not very high, and the character may not be pleasing in the end. The old actor resigned temporarily, and Director Fei I contacted our brother Fang, hoping that he can save the scene. The company actually wants Brother Fang to take over a big-produced drama. Although that drama is not the male lead, the remuneration is very considerable. Brother Fang strives to come to the drama directed by Fei Unfortunately, the company compromised and asked Brother Fang to come here to act in Director Fei's play."

"Director Fei was originally an actor, but he switched careers to be a director these years. Although it's not a big production, his reputation in the industry has always been very good. The company may have considered the word-of-mouth issue before agreeing to Brother Fang's participation in this drama."

Qiu Shaoyang asked: "Then, is there any grievance between Brother Fang and the other actors? I see that the fans of the hero and heroine scold each other quite fiercely on the Internet."

Speaking of this matter, Shi Xiaochun was also very angry, "This drama itself is a drama with a big hero. Sang Chen is also an old drama player, and he was a screen CP with our brother Fang in the early years. Brother Fang fell ill and retired. Before, Sang Chen did not miss our brother Fang a lot, all kinds of speculation about CP, and the scandal between the two people was very popular. Brother Fang has been quiet for a few years, and Sang Chen has good resources. He has played some big IPs one after another. The popularity is quite high, but basically there are no major dramas, and I haven’t won any awards that can prove my ability. So I have always been obsessed with it. I get a lot of money for acting in traffic dramas, but basically I can’t get awards. The beginning of this drama The male protagonist has a good reputation, and Director Fei’s works over the years are actually very successful. The actors can get all the awards more or less, or the crew can get some awards. Sang Chen will agree to play this drama with a low salary, maybe he also wants to win prize."

"But what does this have to do with the fact that the two fans scolded more fiercely?" Qiu Shaoyang couldn't understand.

This drama exploded, or achieved certain achievements, in a certain way, isn't it a matter of everyone's satisfaction?

Shi Xiaochun said: "The reason is that Sang Chen's fans felt that Brother Fang was not as well-known as that old actor, and would hinder Sang Chen. Then Brother Fang's fans were not convinced, even though Sang Chen has gained resources in the entertainment industry over the years Yes, I have filmed a lot of TV series, but I have never won a big award, not even a nomination for a mainstream award. I compared the acting skills of the TV series that Brother Fang and Sang Chen filmed back then, and Brother Fang once won a TV series. Di Yuzhu, the three Best Supporting Actors were released, and then the two families quarreled like hell."

"Brother Fang left the entertainment industry for several years, and after he came back, he acted in good dramas, but the traffic was not big, and they were all serious dramas. They mocked our Brother Fang for being stupid, and Brother Fang's fans mocked Sang Yu for his bad acting skills. Tear, starting from the fan position, our brother Fang himself is a proper one, this story is the hero played by our brother Fang, but Sang Chen's fans have been tearing up the fan, and in the end Director Fei had no choice but to give her A guest appearance has been arranged."

Qiu Shaoyang couldn't understand, has the entertainment circle started to go crazy now?

Seeing his reaction, Shi Xiaochun knew that he definitely didn't pay attention to the entertainment industry.

"Yeah, Sang Chen's fans are really like mad dogs, chasing and biting Brother Fang's fans all the time, which makes people feel really tired."

Shi Xiaochun sighed helplessly: "Sang Chen's acting skills really don't match the vocabulary of the old drama. He often can't catch the drama, which makes people speechless. Sometimes Brother Fang gets angry and will say to her face that her acting skills are not good enough. Well, the relationship between the two on the set is not good, compared with others."

"And then she seemed to know that Brother Fang and Dao Fei had a marriage before, and then she bought notices online to blackmail Brother Fang. Although she didn't expose the relationship between Brother Fang and Dao Fei, of course she didn't dare , Dao Fei’s husband is the big boss of her company. If she dares to explode, she will definitely be blocked in the future. So I have been connoting that our brother Fang brought money into the group to squeeze out the old actors, and even said that our brother Fang is a drama bully, It’s quite speechless, there are always open and secret fights, but our brother Fang doesn’t care too much about it, he pays for acting because he loves it, not to make money.”

Qiu Shaoyang: "Except for Sang Chen, the rest of the crew have a good relationship with Fang Chi, right? Yu. Xi. Yu. Yes. Read. Jia."

"Yes." Shi Xiaochun said: "Brother Fang has no airs in the crew, and he is willing to give lectures to those young people, and he is basically in the crew all the time. For example, if some actors don't have his play in the morning, then he won't Come on, isn’t Brother Fang, whether there is his play or not, he will go to the set, recite the lines, and then watch the actors filming with Director Fei.”

"Director Fei's requirements are very strict. If he fails to pass, Director Fei may scold others, so Brother Fang will teach these young people to act and help them pass the show. Among the actors, he should have a good reputation."

According to Shi Xiaochun's statement, the only one who has a bit of animosity against Fang Chi is Sang Chen.

But Sang Chen, a female star, still expects this drama to win medals. Killing Fang Chi may not be of any benefit to her. If Fang Chi dies, the drama may not be aired. Then she has been on the crew for so long. For nothing.

It does her no good.

Taking a step back, if she really wanted to kill Fang Chi, she could choose a more appropriate time. Fang Chi's role had just been wrapped, and it was really not wise to be killed before dawn.

Excluding Sang Chen, Qiu Shaoyang still can't think of anyone who wants to kill Fang Chi.

Qiu Shaoyang also allowed Li Di to get Fang Chi's script.

The male protagonist played by Fang Chi is called Liang Laisheng, and the content in the script is exactly the same as what Shi Xiaochun said. In the end, Liang Laisheng hanged himself to death.

Qiu Shaoyang asked Chen Yanjia to help investigate the murder case that happened here in Laojie.

But Qiu Shaoyang didn't have the slightest impact on this case.

After checking, I found out that the case happened in the late 80s.

It's true that a long time has passed, and my uncle hadn't even become a policeman at that time.

It's not surprising that Qiu Shaoyang didn't know about what happened so many years ago, and no one mentioned that this kind of thing happened in the village on the outskirts of Chuncheng.

The dossiers from that year were sorted out and entered into the computer, and Chen Yanjia sent the electronic version of the dossiers to Qiu Shaoyang.

After opening it, Qiu Shaoyang read the investigation of the seniors.

At that time, the level of criminal investigation was limited, and the result of their investigation was that Liang Laisheng killed the whole village.

But in one of the photos, Qiu Shaoyang found a clue.

At the end of the 80s, color photos were not very popular in China, and it was only in the [-]s that color photos became popular.

At that time, the photos taken by the Spring City police at the scene were still black and white photos, but there were marks left by the wood on the beams after repeated rubbing.

Police didn't know what it was at the time, but filmed it anyway.

But this detail is similar to the details in today's photos. Why is this?

Qiu Shaoyang hurried to Mingtang and showed him the details about the beam in the photos back then.

The difference between now and then is that the deceased was indeed hanged, and Fang Chi was hanged after being strangled to death.This story happened in the late 80s, 33 years have passed since now, and the details are surprisingly consistent.

Qiu Shaoyang has reason to suspect that the two cases are related.
