  Chapter 82 The Complicated Cause of Death

  Facing inquiries.

  Foreman Dum looked innocent, and said nervously: "Mr. Detective, I'm just worried that Jerry's death will affect my construction period, and the time given to us by the Z government is very tight."

  Dean noticed that when Damm spoke, his eyes looked down from time to time, and he didn't dare to look directly at himself.

   This is a typical lying performance!

  Dean was about to say something when he suddenly thought of the words on Anthony's note:

  I found out about an interesting case that was about to happen.

  It may allow you to understand the nature of mind reading.

  Do you feel popular?

   Dean suddenly realized.

  He seemed to understand what Anthony meant.

   Take back your thoughts.

Dean looked at the nervous Dam, and sneered: "Mr. Dam, it's not just that! Generally, people who can receive the Z government project will have something to do with it. You are worried that Jerry's death will attract attention. In the end, it involves the person behind you?"

   Tell me what's on my mind.

Dam's complexion changed, and he defended: "I got the project through legal bidding, so there's nothing to worry about! Besides, Jerry, a bastard, seems to have been exposed to gambling recently, and he's always distracted when he's at work. I made a mistake and was scolded several times by me, it is normal for him to step on the ground and fall down with his virtue!"

   "You mean he's been distracted a lot lately?" Dean was puzzled.

  This doesn’t match what Jerry’s co-worker said.

But Damm nodded firmly: "Yes, I have known Jerry for more than ten years. When he was young, his wife divorced him because of his addiction to gambling. If it wasn't for the illness of his youngest daughter, plus He repented later, I will never let this kind of person follow me to do things."

   "Understood." Dean glanced at a few cars coming outside, stopped to ask: "Keep your phone unblocked, you can leave first."

  Dum breathed a sigh of relief, turned and left.

  The new vehicles are all Dean's acquaintances.

  Lawrence, Harry, and Holz and his colleagues from the forensics department.

   "Dean, what's going on?"

  The three of them asked together.

  Dean has not joined the police department for a long time, but his excellent performance has made people like Harry come to a basic consensus: Follow Dean, there is meat to eat!

  Dean briefly explained the following situation, and then began to arrange tasks:

   "Harry, I feel that there is something wrong with the foreman Dum. You go to investigate his situation and find out who he worked with to get this project."

"Jerry, the deceased of Lawrence, has a sick daughter. If possible, I hope you can call Phoebe. While investigating Jerry's situation, let Phoebe get rid of his daughter. If you can get some valuable clues It's the best."

"no problem!"

  Harry and Lawrence, who had just arrived, left again.

  The rest of Holz showed doubts: "Dean, you seem to be sure that this is a murder?"

   "Yes." Dean nodded: "Don't ask me why I'm so sure, Holz, I'm going to the watchtower to investigate the situation now, I need you to determine the cause of Jerry's death as soon as possible."

   "Okay." Holz didn't delve into it: "I listened to what you said. The tools I brought this time are very complete, and a simple investigation of the cause of death of the deceased will be very fast."

   After speaking, Holz took his colleagues, unloaded various tool boxes from the car, came to the dead body, and got busy.

   "It's cool to be ordered around." Dean smiled and walked towards the watchtower.

   To open a prison, in addition to dealing with those in the judicial department, it is also necessary to prevent prisoners from escaping.

   It's okay for the prisoner to die.

   There are many excuses to explain.

   But if one or two prisoners escape, it will be troublesome.

  This will cause the government of Z to distrust the prison.

  Restore trust.

   Need a lot of money.

  So the high-rise watchtower, which is guarded 24 hours a day, is the second most important place in the prison besides the monitoring room.

   At this construction site, there are three watchtowers that have been built, distributed in three different directions.

  The watchtower where Jerry fell to death is located in the direction of the main entrance.

  After Dean went up, he found that the inside of the watchtower, which was not too wide, was filled with all kinds of tools needed by electricians.

  There is a pink piggy lunch box on the wooden cabinet where the sundries are placed.

   This should be the supper that Jerry's daughter prepared for him.

  Touch.

  The lunch box also has residual temperature.

  It's a pity that Jerry can no longer feel the love of his daughter.

he died.

   towards the interior of the site.

  Troughs for most of the wires have been opened on the ground.

  The pit extends from the ground, and finally ends at the wall at half the height of a person.

  Jerry fell from here.

  There is a concrete barrier about half a meter high here, and the external iron railings have not been installed yet, but under normal circumstances, no one will fall from here.

   Unless something unexpected happens.

   This is why Jerry didn't wear a seat belt when he was slotting.

   Dean asked the electricians who were working with him.

  At that time, only Jerry was on the observation deck, and there was no possibility of anyone pushing him down.

   Reason normally.

  At that time, he either had a sudden illness and lost control of his body, or for some reason, he couldn't control his body at all, so he fell to the side and happened to fall.

   Of course, the possibility of Jerry's suicide is not ruled out.

  Because Dean remembered, Dam said, Jerry's daughter was sick.

  If medical treatment requires a lot of money.

  Jerry may also commit suicide to cheat insurance.

   What fell with Jerry at the time was the drilling machine in his hand.

   This is a slotting tool.

  Dean wore gloves, and pulled the drilling machine up along the wires hanging from the cement barrier. Before he could look at it, he smelled a slight burning smell.

   "Is this a leakage?"

  Dean looked puzzled.

  He took the drilling machine, went to the socket, and checked it carefully.

   This is not the sixties and seventies.

  Electrician, a high-risk job, has strict procedures and requirements during construction, such as wearing insulated safety shoes and using sockets with leakage protection devices.

  So it is rare for Jerry to die from electrocution.

   This view.

   Dean saw the problem right away!

  There are traces of vandalism on the socket!

  The connector of the plug was cut off with pliers!

   Coincidentally, a pair of pliers with black handles was thrown under the socket, as if afraid that someone would not see it.

  Dean had seen the destroyed leakage protection device, and was almost sure that Jerry died of homicide, but he hesitated when he saw the pliers.

   It can’t be Jerry, who is so stupid, directs and acts on his own, and wants to pretend to be an accidental death to cheat insurance, right?

  Because if there is a problem with the equipment, in addition to the insurance to lose money, the foreman Dum will also lose a lot of money.

  Dean kept this in mind for now.

  Since the leakage protection device was damaged, there must be a problem with the drilling machine in my hand!

  Dean immediately looked at the drilling machine in his hand!

   The wire interface of the drilling machine also looks a little loose.

  Dean used these tools a lot in his previous life.

  The manufacturer will seal this thing in order to ensure that it will not be cheated. Once someone opens it, it is equivalent to voluntarily giving up the right to warranty. After the repair is completed, the manufacturer will also seal the connection again.

   So, someone here opened it!

   Dean pulled lightly, and easily tore off the connection shell outside the interface.

  By light.

  Dean noticed that inside the drilling motor, the wires crossed and the electrodes were reversed.

  A picture appeared in his mind.

  Jerry, as usual, took the drilling machine, stood on the edge of the wall of the observation deck, and started to drill and slot.

next moment.

   Current kickback.

  Jerry was shocked by the electric current, and his body became stiff.

   As a result, he could not die. While losing control of his body, he was driven by the hole turning machine in his hand, and his body tilted and fell down.

   As for destroying the protection of labor insurance shoes, it is even simpler!

   Just insert a nail into the sole of the shoe.

   Whether Jerry committed suicide or homicide, Dean is not sure yet, but he can basically confirm that Jerry died of electric shock.

   Now need to find Holz to confirm this.

   Bring the pliers and drill on the ground.

   Dean came downstairs.

   "Holtz, did Jerry die from the electric shock?"

   Holz has completed a preliminary autopsy.

   Hearing this, he looked at Dean with a puzzled face: "I only found the fall injury on the deceased, Dean, the deceased died from a fall, and he couldn't have died from the electric shock."

   Dean: ? ? ?

   Brothers, see you tomorrow.

   I have to save some manuscripts and put them on the shelves for updates.
