Criminal Investigation Notes

At 9:30 p.m., there was still a dim white light in the funeral parlor of Nancheng city. The white light was cold. The whole room was several degrees lower than that outside.

After the autopsy was completed, Lin xiuran supported his arms on the anatomical table and looked down at the half decayed male corpse on the anatomical table with a dignified look.

Obviously, the murderer did not want the victim to die easily. Before the victim died, he suffered a long time, and the surface of the body was covered with all kinds of abuse scars. This time may be several days or even a week. The stomach contents of the corpse were empty, which means that the victim had not eaten for a long time before he died.

With the sound of footsteps, Song Wen and Fu Linjiang came in from the door.

Song Wen's nose moved. In addition to the smell of putrefaction, there was a strong smell of blood in the room. Besides these two kinds of smell, there was a special smell in the air. It was a kind of disgusting fishy smell, like the evaporation of liquid mixed with sea water. It seemed that the water vapor in the whole room was heavy.

Lin Xu pointed to the male corpse on the dissection. He said, "the body was sent by the three teams. The dead man was named Zhang Peicai. He is thirty-five years old. He was a former investigative journalist from the media company, and he had his own official account. The height of the dead is 1.78 meters, and the time of death can be preliminarily determined. It was three days ago that the body was found tonight and left by the ditch in the dark river area

"There is a vast area and few people, and there is no monitoring. It is estimated that it is very difficult to find the body thrower." Song Wen said that looking at the autopsy platform, the identity of the dead was sensitive. He had a little understanding of why the case came to him. "From the current information, only if we can confirm that the person who threw the corpse may have a means of transportation, will the corpse be transported to that place."

"According to the testimony of the scavenger who found the body, the body was still not there last night. We can preliminarily determine the time for the body to be thrown around this morning. Recently, with the increase of temperature, all kinds of insects have come to the active stage, and the decay time is much faster than usual. " Lin xiuran made a simple explanation.

At this time, lying on the autopsy table is the body of a young man. The skin and flesh have begun to rot and emit a strong stench. The body has completed the basic dissection. The chest and abdomen have been opened, the head has been shaved, and the skull has been sawn.

In the white light, the body's eyes slightly open, if there is any other difference, it is that the white part of the body revealed a reddish turbidity. It's like when people's eyes are inflamed. The eyeball is completely red, and there is a red blood line in it. In this pale light, it looks like a pair of blood pupil.

Song Wen suddenly thought of the movie he had seen. It seems that the zombies in it have such eyes. He looked down at the rotten body again, as if he would sit up at any moment.

The dead was a young man. His muscles were long and strong, and his height was not low. Who subdued such a man and tortured him to death?

Lin xiuran continued: "Zhang peicai used to be a social investigation reporter. Later, he quit his job, but he didn't stop social investigation. Later, he started to make news releases on the network we media. Before that, he did some famous series, such as visits to takeout factories, and chaos in private kindergartens."

Fu Linjiang nodded: "I seem to have seen his five-star hotel reveal the health situation. Those workers use strong bleach cleaning agent, and throw the cleaned bedding directly on the floor. As long as I think about it, I feel like goose bumps

Song Wen said: "you don't have to be too nervous. We policemen can't afford to stay in a five-star hotel."

Fu Linjiang covered his chest and said, "thank you for your comfort. It's very reasonable. But how can I feel more sad?"

There is no lack of darkness in the world. There are even many well-known grey areas. Many people have their own hidden secrets. Zhang peicai's job is to expose these things. He himself has been in the gray area for money and fame. He can't be judged by a simple good person or a bad person.

Some of his reports are true, others exaggerate some facts.

If they want to make a fortune, they either do paparazzi checking stars or do such sensational social news as Zhang peicai does. With a sensational news, they tend to have both fame and wealth.

Lin xiuran continued: "before the accident, the deceased said to his relatives that he would go to investigate for a period of time, and his family didn't care about his whereabouts. About a week ago, his younger brother couldn't contact him for many times, so he called the police. Because his relatives provided Zhang peicai's special body and birthmark photos, this time he was able to determine the source of the corpse so quickly."

Song Wen skillfully reached for a pair of gloves and put them on. Then he looked down at the corpse: "is the cause of death confirmed?"

"Sure, it's the trauma that bled too much and died." Lin xiuran said.

"But it seems that there are many kinds of wounds on the body, and there is no obvious fatal injury..." Fu Linjiang carefully observed the rotten body, most of the wounds were not fatal.

Lin xiuran explained: "there are a lot of scars on the body everywhere. Trunk, limbs, including head. The murderer knows how to abuse others and can make the victim more miserable. ""That is, the victim was slowly tortured to death by bloodletting." With disgust, Fu Linjiang leaned down to observe the dead man's brain. Song Wen also looked at it. At this time, the skull of the corpse was sawn, and the exposed brain was exposed to the air. Some parts of the brain were rotten, the dural blood vessels were filled, and there were blood stasis at several bleeding points. The adults and flies had been collected, but it was inevitable that some eggs and larvae remained in the body. The whole brain becomes a paradise for insects, like a moth nest that has been hollowed out.

"This is..." Fu Linjiang found that there were several white sacs on his brain, which were the size of rice flowers. He reached out to touch them.

"Don't move!" Lin xiuran said, stretched out his hand and used a pair of tweezers to break a white sac that looked like an egg. Then he put it on the dissecting table. Some transparent liquid flowed out of the broken sachet, and then a white insect a few centimeters long wriggled out of it.

Song Wen finally knew what he had smelled before. It was the smell of this maggot. It was a kind of raw, fishy and indescribable smell. It's kind of like a rotten egg. He looked down at the struggling insect and said, "look at the development of the insect. It doesn't look like it died for three days."

Song Wen didn't do much research on this, but he also knew that forensic medicine often determined the time of death based on the condition of the insect. However, judging from the corpse, it seems that the insect will not develop until it has been dead for more than a week.

Lin xiuran nodded: "the surface of the brain is swollen, and there are maggots in the coronal section. This person's brain is almost hollowed out by insects." Then he turned his head and explained, "generally, after death, maggots will grow wildly according to the environment. As the saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs. Flies like to lay eggs in some moist places, such as wounds, nose and mouth, reproductive organs and other places. Now, although the body is rotten, according to the insect's prompt, when the person's head is injured before death, there should be insect invasion."

Seeing this scene, Song Wen stood up and said, "this means..."

Lin xiuran calmly said a cruel fact: "there are traces of iron nails in his head, leaving a round wound on his skull. This is also a way of torture. In other words, it is possible that insects have laid eggs in him while he is still alive. The decay and ulceration of the wound caused a large number of insect reproduction

Song Wen said: "it seems that the killer is very experienced, like an old hand."

"In addition," Lin xiuran's face was still frozen. "There were some binding scars on the hands and feet of the deceased, and there were traces of adhesive tape on his mouth and nose. I suspect that he had been imprisoned for a period of time before he died. When the dead man was found, in order to put it in the bag and fix the body, he had knots on his hands and feet. The knot was woven in a special way. You can have a look later. "

In many serial cases, the suspect will have a special way of binding, which is also one of the important clues to lock the murderer in the later stage.

"What about his belongings? Do you have a mobile phone or other identification with you? " Song Wen asked again.

Lin xiuran shook his head and said: "no one knows what he is investigating and where he went during this period. When he was found, the corpse was only wearing simple clothes. What we can use as material evidence is the rope on his hand, which is a big black bag used to discard the corpse."

"What about the other clues? Not that his family reported missing before? " Song Wen asked again.

Lin xiuran thought and said, "I heard a few words before, as if to say that the brother of the deceased told him when his brother left that he found a shocking news."

Song Wen frowned slightly after hearing this, would it be more surprising than those of his previous revelations? Is this person killed because he knows something?

After checking the corpse, it was more than 10 o'clock in the evening. Lin xiuran had to carry out further section test on the corpse and write the autopsy report. Song Wen said to Fu Linjiang, "let's withdraw first, and we will start the investigation tomorrow." He said this sentence, his eyes suddenly looked to one side, in a corner of the funeral home table, put a few bags of things.

"Is this?" Song Wen's eyebrows wrinkled up. It looked familiar.

Lin xiuran looked up and said, "Oh, it's from Lushi language. He said that it was the wolfberry and tea that Zhang Dahai had given me before. You put my share on his side. He was free today and sent it to me. "

Song Wen frowned more tightly: "when did it happen?"

"Just now, as soon as he left, you came."

"You let him go to the funeral home to see him off?"

Lin xiuran said: "he said that he happened to be nearby. One minute after he made a phone call, people came. Then he came and left something to talk to and left Speaking of this, he finally felt something else in Song Wenhua. He stood up and asked, "have you been Isn't it right? " After careful consideration, he used such a word. Fu Linjiang was not an outsider anyway. He knew how much song Wen cared about Lushi language, so he couldn't figure out what the two men were doing.

Song Wen asked, "what else did he say?" In this way, Lu Siyu probably came out of the police station and went to the funeral parlor. He stopped the car here and called Lin xiuran.Lin xiuran then pursed his mouth and made a show of expression: "say you won't let him resume his post, let me help him plead for mercy. But after all, I'm from the forensic medicine center, and I'm not his direct leader. It's hard to say anything about your team. I comforted him and asked him to go back. "

Song Wen accepted this explanation. But he couldn't think about it. What's the reason that Luxi is so active.

The funeral home is a remote and shady place. When two people leave the funeral home, the temperature outside is several degrees higher than that inside. Waiting for the car, Fu Linjiang continued the topic just now: "I'm afraid the murderer is not simple."

"The murderer is hiding well, leaving no trace." Song Wen started the car, "it is estimated that this case is not so easy to solve."

"Well, you really don't want to give Lu Si Yu some information? I think sometimes his instincts and ideas are right Fu Linjiang tried his advice.

"He won't ask you to intercede with him, will he?" Song Wen still refused: "let's check it first. When he was not in, we didn't solve the case as well?"

As long as it's a murder, from the moment the murderer thinks about it, all his actions are like knocking down Domino's dominoes. Every word he says, every thing he does, even every step he takes may change because of this. The change is very subtle, and maybe he didn't realize it. After the behavior of everything, there will be various traces. As long as we can connect them reasonably through reasoning, we can find the answer we want.

There are no killers who are smart enough, only hunters who are not smart enough and are not persistent enough.
