Chapter 183 The scene
As the leader of Criminal Investigation Team 2, Li Zheng has his own small office.

After giving a few instructions to his team members, he walked into his office.

The jurisdiction of the West Kowloon Police Station is not small, and only when some major cases occur will their entire team take action together.

Normally, these ordinary team members are basically responsible for their own cases.

Leading Jiang Yao to an empty workstation, Dakou Liu took a few files and placed them on the table in front of him.

"Ayao, these are the cases that I have accumulated in recent times."

"There are some, just some minor cases, I've handled on site."

"There are some others. After receiving the report, I have already visited the scene, but I haven't obtained any useful clues yet."

"For a few days, you don't need to do anything. Just familiarize yourself with the files and learn more about our normal procedures for handling cases."

Pointing at the files, Dakou Liu greeted Jiang Yao with a smile.

Jiang Yao glanced at the work badge hanging around his neck.

Dakou Liu is just a nickname, his real name is Liu Zhengsheng. In terms of police rank, he is just a police captain. Although he is a little higher than Jiang Yao, he is still only a junior officer.

"These few files will take me several days to digest."

"Brother Liu, you go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about me." Picking up a file, Jiang Yao opened it. He smiled at the big-mouthed Liu in front of him and responded.

"Okay, I'll get busy now."

Nodding, Dakou Liu added, "I just received a case this morning."

"A few girls were playing at home, and one of them accidentally got electrocuted and died. She was transferred from the uniformed unit of Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station."

"Come to think of it, you used to work there, so you must be familiar with the area."

"Although it has been determined that the girl died in an accident, there are still many doubts in the case. Wait a minute, come with me to the scene to check it out."

……

There are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames.

Big Mouth Liu is worthy of being called Big Mouth Liu. He said that he was very busy, but he stood next to Jiang Yao and chatted for more than ten minutes before returning to his workstation.

After reading a few documents and making a few phone calls, he waved at Jiang Yao and said, "Come on, come with me to Tsim Sha Tsui."

Jiang Yao only flipped through a few pages of the file in his hand.

I checked the time on the watch on my wrist. It seemed that less than half an hour had passed since the electrocution case in Tsim Sha Tsui that Dakou Liu just mentioned.

Although he was a little confused, Jiang Yao still stood up and followed Dakou Liu out of the office.

A few minutes later, in Tsim Sha Tsui, in the old building where the crime occurred.

The door of the house where the murder took place was wide open, but there was a cordon outside and two uniformed police officers were guarding nearby.

"Hello, two senior brothers!"

After Jiang Yao and Dakou Liu took out their IDs and identified themselves, the two uniformed police officers hurried over and greeted them.

"Yeah!" Liu Dakou responded casually, crossed the cordon, and walked into the house as soon as possible.

Jiang Yao paused, looking at the familiar face among the two uniformed policemen, he was stunned: "Brother Sheng, aren't you on night shift? It's only afternoon now, why are you guarding here?"

The Brother Sheng he mentioned was naturally his former partner Li Hongsheng.

In the morning, he went to the Uniformed Unit of Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station to handle paperwork and procedures, and did not see this guy.

He thought that Li Hongsheng had gone home from get off work and was sleeping soundly at home. He really didn't expect that the first time he followed Dakou Liu out to investigate a case, he would actually see Li Hongsheng guarding here.

"No, just call me Ah Sheng. I really can't stand calling me Brother Sheng now."

"This is my new partner, Ah Hui. Last night, after receiving the alarm, Ah Hui and I were the first to rush here."

"I slept for a while after getting off work this morning. The reason I'm staying here now is to make it convenient for you brothers from the criminal team to ask questions, right?" Li Hongsheng quickly explained after giving a dry laugh.

They are all police officers, and even if they have the same rank, the plainclothes officers in the criminal division have a higher status than these uniformed police officers.

Whether Li Hongsheng admits it or not, this is the fact.

Considering their previous friendship, Jiang Yao called him Brother Sheng. If it was in private, he might have accepted it, but now, the two of them were negotiating for business matters, and of course he was unwilling to accept it.

"Okay, Ah Sheng is Ah Sheng. Anyway, I don't like calling anyone "brother"."

Nodding, Jiang Yao chuckled twice: "I'll go in and take a look first. Later, I may need to ask you about the situation at that time."

Since Jiang Yao had followed Dakou Liu here to inspect the scene, it would be difficult for him to just go through the motions and do nothing.

After saying hello to Li Hongsheng and Ahui, he walked straight into the house.

Perhaps because Li Hongsheng and his men arrived promptly after receiving the alarm call, the scene was kept intact and basically undamaged. Of course, the body of the dead girl must have been dragged away and sent to the morgue long ago, and it was impossible for it to remain here.

On the ground, where she fell, there was only a human figure left.

"According to the testimonies of the other two girls, at 11:30 last night, the light switch in the living room was still intact and there was no fault in the circuit."

"Around twelve o'clock, the deceased, Li Xiuer, ran to turn on the light, but was suddenly electrocuted to death. This is obviously very abnormal."

"Ayao, do you think it's possible that one of the girls had a deep conflict with Li Xiu'er, and she deliberately broke the light switch, causing Li Xiu'er's death?"

Seeing Jiang Yao coming over, Dakou Liu, who had been frowning, pointed at the switch above the human-shaped pattern with copper wire exposed, and began to speak.

There is definitely more than one light switch in the living room.

Dakou Liu had just checked the other switches carefully.

All the switches were obviously from the same manufacturer and the same batch, and there was a high possibility that they were installed at the same time, but there was nothing wrong with them.

Without any tools and with only his bare hands, Dakou Liu couldn't even pull out the switch.

According to common sense, if a switch in the living room starts to fall off automatically due to aging, then the other switches should also have reached their age and are likely to fall off as well.

"I used to be a uniformed police officer. I am a complete novice in criminal matters."

"Brother Liu, you suspect that there is something fishy about that girl's death. I really can't give you any advice on this."

"Why don't you ask the two uniformed brothers at the door. They were the first to rush to the scene after receiving the report last night."

Jiang Yao laughed and declined.

He had only a few days of education, and had not received any professional training in criminal matters. For him, patrolling the streets in a uniformed unit was fine, but he was really lacking in skills to solve a case.

He followed Dakou Liu here just to make an appearance and join in the fun.

He had already realized this when he came here from the police station.

Dakou Liu meticulously checked the switches in the living room, while Jiang Yao, after looking around, his eyes fell on a piece of white paper on the coffee table in the living room, which was covered with many words and circles.

He walked around the white paper and soon noticed the pencil on the ground that had been broken into two pieces.

Confused, he frowned and looked at Liu Dakou who was a few steps away. He asked tentatively, "Brother Liu, do you know what this piece of white paper on the table is for?"

If Luang Po was here, she would know what this white paper is for at a glance!

Compared to her, Jiang Yao still lacks a lot of experience after all.

He had never come across something like a pen fairy before.

Just now, he saw the words and circles on the white paper and felt a little strange, so he asked this question.

"What else can it do? It's for the Pen Fairy!"

"Some young boys and girls nowadays, I don't know if they have nothing better to do or what, instead of learning good things, they like to play with these weird things!"

"With just a pencil and a piece of white paper, you want to summon ghosts and gods? That's just a dream."

"It is impossible for the invited ghosts and gods to be omniscient and omnipotent."

"What? Ah Yao, don't tell me, you believe in these things too?"

Liu Dakou curled his lips and looked disdainful.

After explaining a few things about the Pen Fairy to Jiang Yao, he also made a joke about it.

"How could I believe these things? I just happened to see this piece of white paper and felt that the things on it were a bit strange, so I asked casually." Jiang Yao responded with a smile.

Liu Dakou, who was standing at the side, had also walked to the sofa after checking the switches in the house.

"Before the girl got electrocuted last night, she played the pen fairy game with two other girls."

"At that time, they had some verbal conflicts and a small conflict."

"This is the home of one of the girls. She invited the other two girls to come and keep her company."

"Because they were not getting along well, the two girls were about to leave. When the one named Li Xiuer was about to turn on the light, her hand touched the copper wire on the switch, and an accident happened."

"One of the girls called the police, but the other girl was so frightened that she fainted."

"This is the file I got. Many things are unclear."

Frowning, Dakou Liu looked at Jiang Yao and explained.

After all, he came here just to read the relevant files of the case, but Jiang Yao saw nothing and knew nothing about it.

Since the two of them came here together, he naturally had the obligation to let Jiang Yao know more about the case.
