Huguang Yazhu, a well-known high-end residential area in Jinyang City, is widely promoted and popular, but the occupancy rate is relatively low due to housing prices.

Building 11 is located on the southernmost side of the entire community. It is a 30-story commercial and residential building.

The structure of this building is two elevators and six households, with a high living density. Various intermediary companies and training institutions rent offices here, and the daily personnel entering and leaving are mixed, and theft cases often occur.

One day in early May, according to residents of Building 11, 203, diagonally opposite his house, emitted an unbearable stench, and the property company sent a customer service specialist to deal with it.

203 is a commercial and residential house with windows facing the street, and the owner is named Fu Yuli.

In the first two years after Fu Yuli bought the house, she rented it to a children's dance institution for use. Once the lease expired, Fu Yuli did not renew the lease, but took back the house and came to live.

Fu Yuli left a good impression on property customer service specialist Xiaolin: she paid on time, treated people politely, and occasionally complained that neighbors occupied the corridor to pile up garbage and scraps. The tone of the phone sounded very soft, unlike the best woman who often swears and curses.

This time, the owners of 202 complained that Kobayashi felt particularly strange.

Kobayashi thought, although Fu Yuli lived alone, she wouldn't have to leave the door without going out, she would just pile up her house into a garbage mountain...

However, when the odor that was several levels higher than the bad smell came, Kobayashi's previous idea was completely overturned by himself.

When I knocked on the door, no one answered; when I called Fu Yuli's cell phone, it was turned off; when I called the landline at home, there was a normal long sound in the earpiece, but Kobayashi called it more than ten times, but no one answered it.

"Sister Fu? Sister Fu!!" Xiaolin knocked on the door hard while listening to the ringing of the landline in the house, "Sister Fu, are you at home? Please come and open the door! If you are feeling unwell, I will call 120 for you-"

There was no movement in 203 for a long time, but it disturbed the owners of 202.

"Kobayashi, don't your property have spare keys?"

"Brother, you have changed the lock core when you moved in, and the spare key has been invalidated. Besides, how could I break into the owner's house without saying hello? It's illegal..."

"According to my opinion, call the police!" said the owner of 202, "I saw her once last Monday and even said hello, and I have never seen her go out again."

"That's all."

The stench that kept lingering in his nose made Kobayashi feel extremely bad. He opened a butcher shop at home. The storage conditions in the past were poor. The meat that could not be sold on that day would smell strange the next day. If he caught up with the dog days, the smell would be a life-threatening person...

"Hey, I want to call the police!" After the phone call, Kobayashi hurriedly said, "I am Lin Qiang from the property company, with an address, 203, Building 11, Huguang Yazhu Community. I suspect something happened to the owner, please send someone to check it as soon as possible!"

The indoor temperature is very low, giving people a feeling of coldness in the cold winter.

Gu Qingtong checked the air conditioner and found that the air conditioners in the living room and the two bedrooms were adjusted to the lowest level of cooling.

Although the murderer wanted to use this to hide the exact time of death of the deceased, the body still showed a serious and severity.

The new patrol officer contacted the serious crime team did not exaggerate, and forensic personnel initially identified the deceased as killing him.

The body was half lying on the table, with its head facing side, its arms hanging from the edge of the table, and its feet and ankles were fixed to the legs of the chair with tape.

The deceased's whole body was swollen, and some of the cracks exposed in the vest and shorts were particularly obvious. There were many plaque-like skin and debris around the body, indicating that she had been dead for more than ten days.

The person who called the police, Lin Qiang and the owner of 202, Ma Teng, were briefly interrogated.

Lin Qiang said that the reason why he came to check and called the police for help was because Ma Teng reported that 203 had a particularly bad smell. He did not know the social relationship of the deceased Fu Yuli, nor did he know if she had any enemies or who had offended her.

The first half of Ma Teng's description is consistent with Lin Qiang, but the second half mentions the "seeing facts" that are inconsistent with the time of the deceased's death - Ma Teng said that last Monday, seven days ago, he met the deceased Fu Yuli, and the two met and greeted each other for a few words.

-

In the conference room, forensic doctor Zhong Hao immediately denied Ma Teng's testimony as soon as he heard the investigation and evidence collection records of the serious crime team.

"Absolutely impossible!"

Pan Shaofang asked: "Witness is lying?"

Zhong Hao nodded and said, "Although the air conditioner lowered the room temperature, the body will not lie. This neighbor named Ma either slandered or met someone else who pretended to be the deceased!"

Wu Chen expressed a completely different view: "That neighbor, Ma Teng, is like the deceased. They are the first owners who moved in when Huguang Yazhu was first built three years ago. They are very familiar with each other and the probability of admitting the wrong person is very small."

Of course, Jin Haiyang supported his partner: "What Brother Chen said is reasonable. No matter how bad the neighbors he has known for three years, he will not even be able to remember the appearance of the deceased, right? Ma Teng is an art teacher who teaches fine brushwork. He can pay more attention to details than ordinary people..."

Zhao Hong of Forensics interrupted without hesitation: "The rate at which amino acids and fatty acids decompose from cells can accurately determine the death time to twelve hours. We have initially determined that the deceased died between 6 am and 6 pm ten days ago. More specific time is needed to be further tested."

Before the truth was revealed, Pan Shaofang respected the opinions of every colleague, and he only asked: "What is the real cause of death of the deceased?"

Zhong Hao handed over the autopsy report: "Drowned. The laboratory has confirmed that the remaining water in the deceased's lungs is consistent with the various water indicators in her fish tank."

"Forensic Doctor Zhong—" Gu Qingtong said in confusion, "Since it was drowning, how do you explain nearly a hundred trauma on the deceased's body?"

"The body was subjected to cruel abuse," said Zhong Hao. "The murderer vented his anger in this way, and at the same time proved to everyone how powerful and indestructible he is."

Gu Qingtong felt cold on his spine: "What do you mean is that the murderer has no regrets, and is even proud of what he did?"

Zhong Hao replied: "Yes, he did not regret the murder. The deceased's neck, front chest and knee joints were all severely hit by blunt objects. According to the degree of fracture, the murderer's blow was close to the limit of the human body."

"Desire to control." Cao Zhe said, "The murderer conquered a corpse that had lost his breath and heartbeat, and recovered his dignity that he had left elsewhere!"

These words were so convincing that everyone was shocked. Without Pan Shaofang's repeated urging, everyone's determination to solve the case has become the top priority now.

Shi Dong took the initiative to take on the most boring work: "Captain Pan, I am responsible for checking surveillance video!"

"No, the surveillance is handed over to Xiao Gu and Haiyang, you have another task." Pan Shaofang did not let Shi Dong get what he wanted. "Xiao Shitou, you didn't participate in the on-site investigation. For those owners, you are a naughty face. In the name of renting a house and running a training class, the most difficult thing is you!"

-

After staring at the computer screen for a whole night, Gu Qingtong was so sleepy that she had a fight with eyelids. She couldn't even get excited when she mixed strong tea with coffee.

She barely finished the instant noodles and forced herself to take a shower in the women's locker room, but almost fainted while changing clothes. It happened that the ringtone of the phone ringed in her ears, reminding her that she had to continue to persevere.

"Mom, what's the matter?"

The voice of his mother Yue Wenjuan was full of warmth: "Child, are you exhausted from working overtime? I made porridge, steamed cucumber and shrimp dumplings, and prepared side dishes. At about what time will you finish your work?"

Gu Qingtong glanced at the wall clock on the locker room: "You and Daddy eat first, I'm afraid I'm going to make a round."

"In other words, you don't even have time to go downstairs to get breakfast?" Yue Wenjuan was in a dilemma. "Then I'll hand over the breakfast to the security guard on duty. Come and pick it up when you have time."

"Are you at the gate?" Gu Qingtong couldn't help but stand there, "Mom, wait for me for two minutes, I'll go down now!"

She put on her clothes and pants, and she tucked her wet hair into a bun, and she didn't have time to wear socks. She stomped on her sneakers and rushed out of the locker room.

Yue Wenjuan was holding an extra-large insulation bag and stood expectantly outside the gate of the criminal police yard.

"Mom..." Gu Qing's nose turned sore, and his eyes suddenly turned red. "Did you get up early in the morning by making so many delicious foods?"

Yue Wenjuan touched her daughter's face and comforted her: "Silly child, I'm not tired, I just think it's a jet lag. It's no big deal to get up early for a while."

"Don't lie to me..."

"It's a pleasure to cook for my baby to eat than I did on the construction site, right? Silly kids, don't cry. Be careful that your mother will cry more fiercely than you!"

Gu Qingtong sniffed and suddenly smiled: "Well, then I have to--" She dragged her tone and deliberately made a pitiful look. She raised her hands and climbed on Yue Wenjuan's shoulder, "Thank you for your love breakfast!"

Yue Wenjuan chuckled: "Little naughty! I really think you are going to cry?"

"I haven't cried for many years." Gu Qingtong said, "To be honest, I almost forgot what it is to cry."

"It was carved out in the same mold as your father, with a hard mouth and a soft heart!" Yue Wenjuan patted his daughter's back, "I can't delay your work. Take this bag of food upstairs, remember to share it with colleagues!"

Gu Qingtong nodded and took the insulation bag from her mother's hand, which was really shocked.

"Good mom, that heavy! Is there a meal for ten people in it?"

Yue Wenjuan smiled and said, "Didn't you ask Ji Heng for his blessing? He is young and has a very calm behavior. Before he left, I made five different types of breakfasts in one go. I haven't lived with you for several years, and I don't know which one you like the most. My skills may not be as good as Ji Heng's, but it doesn't matter, you can try it first..."

Gu Qingtong's expression froze on her face, and tears flashed in her eyes that she didn't think anyone could notice.

"Mom, don't mention this name again!"

After saying that, Gu Qingtong put her cheeks intimately on her face like she did when she was a child, and ran into the office building without looking back.
