    【Death of a Lawyer-02】

    As soon as Jiang Pingce woke up, he realized that the environment around him was a police station. He was wearing a blue uniform. There were many colleagues in the same uniform around, but Yue Xingwen could not be seen.

    Jiang Pingce immediately opened the research group channel and wanted to contact Xingwen, but the research group channel was disabled, so he had to calm down and observe the surroundings, and obtain useful information by the way.

    The city is called Beishan City. It is a coastal city with beautiful scenery and a very high tourism industry. The Criminal Police Brigade he belongs to is the Criminal Police Team of Qingtang District, Beishan City, responsible for criminal cases in the entire Qingtang District. The captain of the police force, surnamed Lin, is a middle-aged male around 45 years old. He is unshaven and sloppy, but he is actually shrewd and capable, and has solved countless cases.

    This Lin team is also the master he recognized when he came to the police force for "internship".

    Recently, there was a serial murder case in Qingtang District. When Jiang Pingce woke up, his master was sorting out the case file. Jiang Pingce took the opportunity to take a look and quickly wrote down the contents of the case, in case the case was related to this exam.

    At 6 o'clock in the evening, when the other police officers left one after another, Jiang Pingce walked out of the office and happened to meet Ke Shaobin.

    Ke Shaobin works in the Network Investigation Division of the Criminal Police Brigade, and this job also brings great convenience to everyone.

    Taking advantage of the few people in the police force, Ke Shaobin took Jiang Pingce and Qin Miao secretly back to the office, turned on the office computer, and began to search the information of his teammates in the citizen information.

    In a city with a real-name system, it is quite convenient for the police to find people. After entering the names of his teammates and excluding some with the same name and surname, Jiang Pingce quickly locked the target——

    Lan Yarong is a lawyer at Minghui Law Firm; Yue Xingwen and Lin Manluo are students who have just graduated from Beijiang University of Political Science and Law and are also interning in the same law firm.

    Jiang Pingce said, "Lai Senior Sister Lan, Xingwen and Senior Sister Lin are together."

    This reassured him a lot, at least Xingwen had someone by his side.

    Ke Shaobin followed Liu Zhaoqing and said, "Brothers Liu Zhaoqing and Xu Yishen are both doctors at the Municipal People's Hospital, and Qin Lu is a nurse. The three of them are together."

    When Qin Miao heard that her sister was in the group with Liu and Xu, she couldn't help but wonder: "What are our identities assigned? Qin Lu's major has nothing to do with medicine, so how could he be assigned to be a nurse in the hospital?"

    Jiang Pingce guessed: "It should be allocated according to the clue area. The 12 people were divided into several groups, respectively looking for clues related to the case, and finally summarizing and reasoning. Xingwen is not a law major, and was assigned to a law firm. "

    Qin Miao understood: "That makes sense. What about the rest?"

    Ke Shaobin said: "Xin Yan is an intern at the Forensic Appraisal Center. Brother Zhuo Feng is an electrician in Jinzuo Jiayuan Community. Brother Zhang Xiaonian seems to have participated in the design of Jinzuo Jiayuan Community and bought a house in this community. , I found out that he has a property in his name, and he currently lives in Room 33-1, Unit 2, Building C, Jinzuo."

    Jiang Pingce glanced over the computer screen quickly: "We were divided into 5 groups. The criminal police group, the forensic team, the lawyer group, the hospital group, and the community group."

    Being broken up into groups shows that the clues of this case are not concentrated like the construction site of the School of Architecture, but scattered everywhere. It is also good for teammates to be scattered. Everyone can collect clues at the same time, and the amount of information that can be found will be five times more than if the whole team is gathered together.

    Ke Shaobin adjusted his glasses and asked earnestly, "What should we do next? Are we going to find teammates?"

    Jiang Pingce leaned over to his computer and said, "Can I find everyone's phone number? Call me directly."

    Ke Shaobin "touched" his pocket and found a mobile phone in his pocket.

    The last time they were not equipped with mobile phones at the construction site of the School of Architecture, Ke Shaobin took it for granted that there would not be any this time.

    I didn't expect the library to be so kind and give everyone a mobile phone. Maybe this is the reason why the research group channel is disabled. As long as the students who are assigned to the police force can find the teammate's information at the first time, it is easy to contact others. .

    Jiang Pingce also took out the mobile phone in his pocket and dialed the phone number for the data.

    He first dialed Yue Xingwen's number. Yue Xingwen was washing in the dormitory at this time. He was a little surprised when he heard the ringing of his mobile phone. Seeing that the caller ID was an unfamiliar number, he immediately picked it up and said, "Hello, yes?"

    A familiar voice sounded in my ears: "It's me."

    Yue Xingwen's eyes lit up: "Pingce?"

    Jiang Pingce's tone couldn't help becoming gentle: "Well, are you okay?"

    Yue Xingwen nodded: "I just returned to the dormitory. I'm at Minghui Law Firm with Senior Sister Lan and Sister Manluo." He paused and asked with concern, "Where is Ping Ce? By the way, how do you know about me? phone?"

    Jiang Pingce said: "I am in the Criminal Police Brigade, and Ke Shaobin and Qin Miao are also here. Ke Shaobin checked everyone's information through the police force's internal data registration network. Where do you live now?"

    The domicile of Yue Xingwen was not registered in the information. Not long after he came to the law firm, the room and board were arranged by the law firm, and the apartment was not in his name. Yue Xingwen quickly replied: "I live in Xinghai Apartment opposite Xinghai Building, Building A, 33-03. Sister Manluo is at 33-04. Senior Sister Lan also lives in this apartment, at 33-06 on the top floor."

    Jiang Pingce clipped the phone to his ear, took Ke Shaobin's computer, opened the city map, and quickly entered Xinghai Apartment. He found that "Xinghai Apartment" and Zhuo Feng's community "Jinzuo Jiayuan" were just across the street. Coincidentally, Minghui Law Firm is located in the middle of these two communities.

    Jiang Pingce quickly built a map model in his mind. The positions of the buildings were connected in an "angular" shape. He followed up and asked, "How many floors are our law offices on the Xinghai Building?"

    Yue Xing Wen said: "The highest floor, the 40th floor."

    Jiang Pingce: "In other words, if there is an accident in the law firm, the top floor of the apartment where Senior Sister Lan lives, and the top floor of the residential building where Zhang Xiaonian lives will be able to witness the crime scene?"

    Yue Xingwen was shocked. He didn't expect that Jiang Pingce had quickly figured out the meaning of everyone's location. They could indeed see Minghui Law Firm through the window.

    Aware of what Jiang Pingce was going to say, Yue Xingwen immediately got up and said, "Which community is Xiao Nian in? I'll go find him now."

    Jiang Pingce said: "Cross the road, go to the Jinzuo Jiayuan Community diagonally opposite, go to the property to find Zhuo Feng, and then find Zhang Xiaonian in Room 33-1, Unit 2, Building C. There may be an accident tonight, if the library does not force it Hypnotize us, everyone will try to stay awake and pay close attention to the situation of the law firm."

    Yue Xingwen nodded: "Understood. Where is it?"

    Jiang Pingce said: "I'll get in touch with other people as soon as possible. I plan to sleep in the police force tonight. If someone calls the police in the middle of the night, I can also go to the police with the officer on duty."

    Yue Xingwen said: "Okay, call me if you have anything."

    Although they couldn't meet, the two of them divided their work and cooperated, and the tacit understanding was still there. After Yue Xingwen hung up the phone, he put the caller number in the address book, and immediately called Lin Manluo and Senior Sister Lan, and went to the opposite community to find Zhuo Feng and Zhang Xiaonian.

    After the five people met, they exchanged the currently known information with each other, saved the phone number, and then returned to their posts.

    Jiang Pingce called the hospital.

    It happened to be Qin Lu who answered the phone at the nurse station in the ward, Jiang Pingce said in a low voice, "Qin Lu, find Xu Yishen and Liu Zhaoqing in the hospital as soon as possible, ask them which department they are in, and if they are on night shift tonight, save it. My phone number, contact me after the three of you meet."

    Qin "Lu" was "confused" at the time. She was a geography student and was wearing a nurse's uniform. The doctor in the ward also asked her to go to the ward. She was nervous and didn't know where to put her hands and feet, for fear that she would not be careful. What's wrong. After hearing Jiang Pingce's voice, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately went to various departments to find Liu Zhaoqing and Xu Yishen.

    Soon, she saw Xu Yishen in the surgical ward, and found Liu Zhaoqing in the emergency hall on the first floor. After the people met, they walked into Liu Zhaoqing's office, locked the door, and called Jiang Pingce back.

    Liu Zhaoqing said, "Pingce, what's the situation?"

    Jiang Pingce asked, "Did you arrange a night shift tonight?"

    Liu Zhaoqing: "Yes, the three of us are all night shifts."

    Come on, something might happen tonight.

    Jiang Pingce reminded: "Pay close attention to the situation in the ward that you are in charge of. You must remember any abnormality in each patient. We will summarize it tomorrow. Don't worry, all teammates have been found. We are working in groups this time."

    Liu Zhaoqing suddenly realized: "Understood."

    Jiang Pingce asked Ke Shaobin to call Xin Yan. Xin Yan's personality is withdrawn and not easy to get along with, so let Ke Shaobin inform him and speak better.

    After receiving the call from Ke Shaobin, Xin Yan's voice was a little nervous: "Where?"

    Ke Shaobin said: "I am in the criminal police team."

    Xin Yan frowned: "What happened and was caught by the police?"

    Ke Shaobin was speechless: "I'm in the Internet Investigation Division, this time I'm a police officer!"

    Xin Yan: "..."

    Ke Shaobin said: "Don't worry, I'm with Ping Ce and Qin Miao, and other teammates have also contacted. We found out that you are an intern at the forensic center. If a body is delivered tomorrow, can you follow the teacher to participate in the autopsy? Get the cause of death?" He paused, then added: "If you see a corpse disgusting, you can put a mint in your mouth."

    Ke Shaobin thought, it's really embarrassing for Xin Yan, who is alone in the forensic department. The chemistry school usually only deals with cold instruments. He might be afraid when he sees a dead person, right?

    Unexpectedly, Xin Yan suddenly said coldly: "Don't worry, I will pay attention to the results of the forensic doctor at any time."

    Ke Shaobin said, "Then contact me tomorrow."

    After finishing the call, Ke Shaobin looked at Jiang Pingce: "I don't know what will happen tonight?"

    Jiang Pingce said: "Probably a lawyer is going to die tonight."

    After all, the name of this course is "Death of a Lawyer", and the hint is too obvious.

    But, who will die?

    Jiang Pingce returned to the duty room and sat outside Shaxiang's window.

    I don't know when, it started to rain outside the window, the rain gradually became heavier, and by 0:00 in the morning, it had become a downpour.

    This prosperous city is still brightly lit at night. In the rainstorm, there is not a single pedestrian on the street, and vehicles come and go in a hurry. In the Xinghai Building in the city center, the beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows were soaked by the rain, like a layer of fog.

    Xinghai Building is a 40-storey office building, and the door is locked after get off work.

    Yue Xingwen sat by the window and went out. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, blurring his vision. Suddenly, he seemed to see someone fall from the roof and disappeared in a split second, as if he had hallucinated.

    Yue Xingwen suddenly stood up, walked to the window, and went downstairs——

    In the rainstorm, it was impossible to see if there were any dead bodies downstairs.

    He hurriedly told Lan Yarong and Lin Manluo the news, and went downstairs personally. In the pouring rain, even with an umbrella, his clothes were soaked in an instant. Yue Xingwen took out his mobile phone to illuminate it and looked around. For a long time, nothing was found.

    Yue Xingwen couldn't help but wonder: "I clearly saw someone fall from the roof, wouldn't it be dazzling?"

    Lan Yarong frowned: "I saw it too, it should be around here, where did it fall?"

    People looked at each other and raised their heads at the same time—

    I saw a man stuck on the billboard in the building. The man's eyes were wide open. The blood on his face was running down the rain, and the blood just flowed to the top of the man's head.

    Yue Xingwen: "..."

    He quickly reached out and wiped the blood from his face, took out his mobile phone and called Jiang Pingce: "Someone fell from the building, the deceased is a lawyer from Minghui Law Firm, Zhou Ziyang."

    Jiang Pingce immediately cheered up: "Call 110 and call the police, let's go right over!"
