Chapter 547 Clues

"Woo woo..."

There was a cry in the office of the first squadron of the robbery and murder division. The wife of the deceased came to the police station early in the morning to inquire about the case.

When she learned that her husband had lost his job half a year ago, she was a little unbelievable at first, and then burst into tears.

After a while, the other party's crying gradually stopped, and Luke asked, "About your husband's resignation, didn't you notice it before?"

"No, he never said anything about resignation."

"Sometimes, when men encounter difficulties, it is difficult to say it directly, and there will be some tentative words.

For example, I am very tired at work recently and I am not happy.

I want to change jobs, what do you think?" Luke added, "Your husband resigned six months ago. These words may have been said recently or a few months ago. You recall carefully."

"My mind is a mess now, and I can't remember it." Christian Horn pressed his forehead and choked, "We are husband and wife, no matter what, we should face it together.

For such a big thing as resignation, he should discuss it with me in advance instead of always deceiving me. Lied to me and pretended that he was still working at the travel agency.

For six whole months, I knew nothing about it.

It was wrong for him to do this. I felt like a fool, a complete fool. ”

The deputy captain frowned and spread his hands, "Madam, now is not the time to blame your husband. Your husband is dead.

Moreover, he must have been under great pressure before his death.

A middle-aged man who lost his job is like having his spine broken. I believe that in his last moments, all he thought about was this family, you and the children.

If he heard what you said next to God... he would be very sad. ”

Christian Horn asked loudly, "What about me? Am I not sad now?

I still don't know why he died? I don't know if he committed suicide or was murdered. Dead? Can you tell me? "

The deputy captain said without showing any weakness, "We just took over your husband's case yesterday. We don't know his character or his past. We are working hard to investigate.

And you are his wife, you meet him every day and live in the same room with him. You should be the one who knows him best.

Whether he committed suicide or was murdered, you should be the one who knows best. "

Christian Horn wiped away tears, looked at the white-haired and vigorous old man, and said weakly, "I'm not here to quarrel with you.

You are right, I know my husband...

No, I don't know if I really know him now.

If... he is still the person I know, he will never commit suicide.

He should have been killed. "

Luke interrupted, "Ma'am, I can understand I understand your mood, and I have a few more questions to ask you. "

Christian Horn glared at the deputy captain and said, "Ask, I want to talk to you more."

"You didn't realize that your husband had resigned from the travel agency?"

"Yes."

"Then how did you maintain the family expenses? Or, did your husband have any income during this period?"

"He did say that the travel agency was not doing well and the income was lower than before, but the difference was not very large, probably 80% to 90% of the previous income.

I thought it was just temporary, who knew he had resigned.

Now I also want to know where he got the money from.

Luke asked, "Did your husband find a new job during this period?"

"I don't know, he didn't even tell me about his resignation, how could he tell me this."

"I don't mean that he told you, but let you recall whether some of his behaviors or items revealed similar situations.

For example, business cards, documents or phone numbers of other companies.

"No, I don't remember."

"OK." Luke thought for a while, "How is your family's financial situation? "

Christian Horn rubbed his cheeks with his hands and said helplessly, "My husband's salary is not very high. After deducting the mortgage and basic family expenses, there is no money left. He occasionally uses credit cards.

This is why I was surprised when I heard that my husband resigned.

We have no savings at all. Without that salary, we can't pay for living expenses and mortgages. Our future life...

I really can't think about it.

This is also the reason why I blamed him just now. It's not that I don't care about him, but this job means a lot to our family. "

Luke asked, "How many credit cards does your husband have in total?"

"Two."

"Do you know his card usage?"

"No, I don't know.

However, the limits of those two cards are not high, and it is impossible to pay our living expenses for half a year. "

Luke said, "If you want to find out the cause of your husband's death, you must first know what he did during this period. Even if he doesn't say it, he may leave some traces in his life.

For example, your husband may confide in or seek help from relatives and friends around him. "

Christian Horn's eyes were red, "I understand, I will ask people around me. "

Luke said, "If you have new clues, contact me as soon as possible..."

"Knock knock..."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Then, forensic doctor Sheila pushed the door and walked into the office with a document in her hand. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to speak, but stopped when she saw Christian Horn.

Luke pointed to the door, "Jenny, take Mrs. Horn to the common room."

Jenny understood and stood up, "Madam, come with me."

Christian Horn did not know Sheila and followed Jenny out of the office.

Luke closed the office door and asked, "What were the results of the autopsy?"

Sheila said, "We conducted a comprehensive examination of the body and found that the deceased died of heart failure caused by drugs."

"Is it poison?"

"We did not detect lethal toxins in the deceased's body.

I know this sounds contradictory. "Sheila organized her words and explained, "Some chemical components suspected of being drugs were found in the deceased's body. These chemicals have a certain impact on the body, but they are not fatal.

However, the deceased took a large amount of alcohol and drugs before his death.

The three combined together produced some chemical reactions that caused the deceased to die of heart failure. "

The deputy team member spread his hands and said, "This is why many doctors' orders state that you are not allowed to drink alcohol while taking this drug."

Sheila replied, "You're right."

Luke asked, "Can you guess what drug it is based on its chemical composition?"

"The deceased took the medicine yesterday, and the ingredients of the medicine have decomposed in the body, which makes detection difficult.

Moreover, the chemical composition of the drug is very complex. I have currently detected five unusual chemical ingredients. After comparison, it was found that an antihypertensive drug called Nebivolol contains four similar chemical ingredients. "

The deputy team member raised his eyebrows, showing a fearful look, "So, the deceased died due to excessive drinking and drug taking after taking antihypertensive drugs?"

Sheila shrugged, “The human body is very complex, and different people will have different reactions when taking the same medicine.

Moreover, the proportions of different chemical components have different effects on the body, and it is not certain that the deceased was taking Nebivolol, an antihypertensive drug.

I can only give objective data and leave the rest to you to check. "

Xiao Hei thought for a while and said, "If the deceased had high blood pressure and was taking blood pressure-lowering drugs, then the deceased was probably not a homicide."

Jackson questioned, "But the deceased's wife never said he had a history of drug abuse."

The deputy team member curled his lips, "No one is willing to expose their ugly side."

Xiao Hei took advantage of the situation and said, "If the deceased had a history of high blood pressure and drug abuse, it means that he may have died accidentally. Can we close the case?"

"We found wine bottles at the scene, but no drugs. It is impossible for the deceased to consume drugs and eat the outer packaging, but the technical team did not find the outer packaging of the drugs at the scene, which indicates that they were probably taken away.

Therefore, there may have been a second person present at the scene. "When Luke said this, he said to Potter beside him,

"You go to the common room and bring Christian Horne back. She should know about her husband's condition."

"Okay, Captain."

Potter stood up and left the office.

Matthew came over, "Guys, I don't want to interrupt your discussion of the case, but I discovered a new situation, which is quite urgent."

The deputy said, "Then what are you waiting for?"

"I found a record of purchases made on Rohel Horn's Wells Fargo credit card ten minutes ago."

"Ten minutes ago?"

"Yes."

Luke ordered, "Go and check the specific address of consumption."

"Okay, Captain."

Xiao Hei's eyes widened, "Did he come back to life?"

Silla shook her head, "No, ten minutes ago, he was still lying in the morgue, unable to go anywhere."

Jackson speculated, “Could it be the person who took away the drug packaging and took away Rohel Horn’s credit card?

Finding the person who used the credit card may reveal the truth behind Rohel Horn's death. "

"Bang!" Christian Horn pushed open the door and walked in with an anxious look on his face, "Have you found the murderer of my husband?"

"Not yet." Luke said in a calm tone, "However, we did get some clues related to your husband and want to confirm it with you."

"go ahead."

"Does your husband do drugs?"

"No, he never touches that kind of thing, and he doesn't have money to buy drugs."

"Does he have high blood pressure? Or, has he taken similar drugs?"

"No, he is in good health."

“Where’s your husband’s Wells Fargo credit card?”

"I don't know. This card has always been used by my husband. It should be on his person."

The deputy said, “A person who doesn’t take drugs suddenly takes drugs.

A person who did not have high blood pressure suddenly took antihypertensive drugs and died due to the ingredients of these two drugs.

It was obvious that someone wanted to make the deceased appear to have been a suicide or an accidental death. "

Christian Horne's body became weak and she slumped down on the chair. "God, who deliberately killed my husband? Why did he do this?"

The deputy replied, “I don’t know either.

However, the person who used your husband's credit card may know. "
