Chapter 813 New Clues, the Case is Not Simple
Li Ming's voice was somewhat low. The previous case had just ended, the relevant case materials had not yet been prepared, and the suspect had not yet been handed over, and now this case had occurred.
As the head of the criminal investigation branch, Li Ming has been living in constant fear and anxiety over the years, given the extremely high crime rate in Dongfang City.
Qin Chuan nodded, his gaze sweeping across the scene. He saw that Li Baotong's body had been covered with a white sheet. Everything around was so quiet, except for the continuous sound of police sirens. Qin Chuan knew that solving this case required a multi-pronged approach; he had to quickly assemble an efficient team to find clues about the fraud ring.
"Notify the technical department to investigate Li Baotong's communication records and bank accounts to see if there are any suspicious transfer records or call records," Qin Chuan said decisively.
Based on the situation at the scene, the information is currently quite clear.
Therefore, Qin Chuan only had a general understanding of the situation before he immediately made relevant arrangements.
"Yes." Li Ming nodded immediately and turned to assign tasks.
Afterwards, Qin Chuan looked around and saw that there were quite a few people, and then immediately made arrangements.
"Seal off the scene and prevent unauthorized personnel from approaching. I want forensic doctor Zhang Lin to conduct a preliminary examination of Li Baotong's body to see if there are any clues."
Everyone immediately sprang into action, and the atmosphere on the scene became even more tense.
Qin Chuan stood inside the cordon, his eyes fixed on Li Baotong's body.
In the past two years, fraud cases, especially telecommunications fraud cases, have shown a rapid upward trend. Qin Chuan had encountered such cases before when he was online. However, the amount involved in the case at that time was relatively small. Generally speaking, these cases involve multiple clues and are very likely to be telecommunications fraud carried out overseas. Therefore, it is usually difficult to recover the money, and it is also difficult to find the perpetrators to punish them.
However, the victim, having been defrauded of over 300 million yuan, has now committed suicide by jumping off a building, which involves a life. Regardless, Qin Chuan's side still needs to find a way to move the case forward. Whether they can find the mastermind and arrest the suspect is another matter; the immediate priority is to investigate the case.
After arranging and deploying the relevant work, Qin Chuan, along with Li Ming and the other criminal investigation team members, entered the building where Li Baotong had jumped. It was an ordinary residential building, with a musty smell permeating the stairwell. They arrived at the floor where Li Baotong lived and pushed open his door. The room was in disarray, clearly indicating that Li Baotong had experienced a great struggle in his final moments.
Qin Chuan entered the house, his eyes scanning every corner. Documents and bills were scattered on the sofa in the living room, and a cup of tea had gone cold on the coffee table. Qin Chuan crouched down and carefully examined the documents. He found a bank transfer receipt showing a large sum of money transferred to a man named Song Jiang.
"Li Ming, take this transfer receipt to the technical department and have them check Song Jiang's background." Qin Chuan's voice was calm, but his eyes revealed a hint of seriousness. "Yes." Li Ming immediately took the transfer receipt and turned to assign tasks.
Qin Chuan continued his investigation inside the house, his gaze falling on the bedroom window. The window was open, and there were some obvious scratches and bloodstains on the windowsill. Qin Chuan walked over and carefully examined these marks.
While downstairs, Qin Chuan had already examined Li Baotong's body. The body's trajectory after jumping from the building matched the clear characteristics of a fall. However, after careful examination, he found no scratches or abrasions.
That's strange. There were no scratches on the body, so why were there scratches and bloodstains on the windowsill?
"Li Ming, come here." Qin Chuan beckoned Li Ming over. "Director Qin, what did you find?" Li Ming stepped forward, looking at the windowsill Qin Chuan was pointing to. "These bloodstains don't seem to belong to Li Baotong. I think there's something wrong here." Qin Chuan's voice was serious, and his eyes revealed a hint of suspicion. "You mean, Li Baotong's death might not be suicide?" Li Ming's voice was somewhat surprised, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Qin Chuan nodded. "Very likely. I examined Li Baotong's body downstairs just now. There were no scratches on his arms and legs; the marks on the body were consistent with death from a fall. So, if there were no such scratches on the body, why were there scratches and bloodstains on the windowsill? You should arrange for the crime scene investigators to conduct a thorough examination of the entire scene, especially of the bloodstains, the scratches, and everything on the windowsill, including the hair—all of it must be taken back for careful analysis."
"Yes, I'll arrange it right away!"
Next, Qin Chuan led the way in conducting a more detailed investigation of the scene. They carefully examined every corner and every detail. In the bedroom closet, they found a shirt stained with blood.
Qin Chuan picked up the shirt and examined the bloodstains on it carefully.
He noticed that the distribution of the bloodstains was strange; they didn't look like accidental bleeding that had been sprayed on, but rather like smears. There were also some tearing marks, suggesting that someone had left them during a struggle.
"Li Ming, take this shirt to the forensic doctor and have them do a DNA test." Qin Chuan's voice was calm, but his eyes revealed a hint of seriousness. "Yes." Li Ming immediately took the shirt and turned to assign tasks.
Qin Chuan continued his investigation inside the house, his gaze falling on the bedside table in the bedroom. A cell phone sat on the table, its screen displaying an unread text message. Qin Chuan picked up the phone and opened the message. The message made him frown: "Bao Tong, I know you're very sad, but don't do anything foolish. We're all waiting for you to come back."
Qin Chuan checked the time the text message was sent and found that it was sent an hour before Li Baotong jumped. This was rather strange, as Li Baotong had been in contact with others before jumping.
When Qin Chuan called me over for an on-site investigation, I handed my phone to them and asked them to check all the text messages and call records.
The team continued their on-site investigation. They discovered other clues, such as obvious drag marks on the bedroom carpet, which made Qin Chuan even more suspicious that Li Baotong's death was not a suicide.
"Li Ming, summarize these clues, and we'll hold a case analysis meeting when we get back."
"Yes." Li Ming nodded immediately and turned to assign tasks.
