Chapter 14: The Headless Corpse

The staircase leading to the second floor of this grocery store is not the usual sturdy and easy to walk, but it is wooden, which makes people feel that it is not very strong, and the angle is very steep, not so much a staircase, but almost closer to a large wooden ladder.

Bai Xue looked at the various miscellaneous items piled up around the wooden staircase, and probably guessed why the staircase was built at such a steep angle, the shopkeeper should have made more space under the stairs so that it could be used to store more goods and sundries, it was obvious that for the shopkeepers here, the comfort of life was far less important than opening the door to welcome customers and doing business, just make do with it.

A few people cautiously climbed up the big wooden ladder that did not have a slow platform at all, and came to the second floor of this store, this second floor is actually the same as the staircase, it is not the second floor of the building itself, but it was divided into two floors by someone who originally raised a very high floor, so that the height of the two floors is a little cramped, people of medium height like Bai Xue need to shrink their necks a little, Xiao Geyan said that their kind of tall people must be cat-waisted to be able to move normally.

The area of the second floor is about the same as the first floor, not much smaller, the lighting is basically solved by the window connected with the first floor, because most of the windows are occupied by the first floor, the part of the second floor is very small, and the outside is only when the day is bright, so the second floor is very dim as a whole, fortunately, there are lights, after the colleagues who climbed upstairs in front of the snow turned on the lights, the sight was much better.

Even though the height is a little cramped, the second floor is still divided into several different areas, from the ladder up the first can see a small low table, on which are also placed some leftover peanuts, mustard and other food, next to the table throw a few cushions, there is also an electric kettle on the ground.

Obviously, this is the owner's "restaurant" for weekdays.

The rest of the space was divided into two rooms by the wall, the door was open, and the lights on the side of the dining room made the two rooms even darker, and the more you walked in the direction of the two rooms, the more the smell of blood in the air became stronger, and the nerves of everyone who climbed up to the second floor tensed up again.

Bai Xue walked in the front, Xiao Geyan followed behind her, she didn't have anything to worry about, after all, she could see the situation outside clearly, the anti-theft sliding door was locked from the outside, and the head was also hung on the door frame outside the anti-theft sliding door, which also means that after the murderer killed someone, he should have locked the door, and then began to hang the head, and then left, unless there is a back door to come back to this scene, otherwise the murderer must not be able to return to the room after locking the door.

Of course, even if this grocery store had a back door, what murderer would be so stupid as to run back?

The two rooms are next to each other, one on the left and one on the right, the open door is like two dark holes, Bai Xue walked to the door of one of the rooms, reached in with a gloved hand, touched the wall next to the door, and smoothly touched the light switch, and pressed it.

The moment the lights came on, the scene inside the room was also reflected in their eyes.

It may be because the height of the second floor is relatively cramped, there is no common bed in the general bedroom in the room, there is only one mattress, there is a quilt on the mattress, there are two people in the quilt, or it should be called two headless corpses to be exact, most of the two corpses are covered under the quilt, and the only thing exposed is the chest up, all the way to the shoulders, it can be seen from the clothes on the body that this is a man and a woman, and there is only a bloody and blurred neck above the shoulders of the two people, and the head is of course no longer in its original position, and the blood of the two people flows out along the section of the neck, converged on the ground, and became a large area, exuding a thick fishy smell.

Not only that, but on the walls and ceiling of this bedroom, there were blood splatters everywhere that had dried up, making the scene really look like a heavy taste.

Xiao Geyan stood beside Bai Xue and watched everything in the room, and the two of them first moved out of the way of the door, so as to make room for taking photos and collecting evidence at the scene, and for the forensic doctor to go in and examine the body.

"The murderer is quite anxious. He looked at the large pool of blood on the ground, and said to Bai Xue, "Don't wait for the blood of the deceased to coagulate before you do it, and make this room so embarrassing." ”

Bai Xue nodded, she didn't have any in-depth research on forensic science, just because of professional needs, so she had some preliminary understanding. The inside of this room is relatively humid because of poor ventilation, and in this environment, the blood will generally dry more slowly, and the blood stains on the ceiling and walls have long dried up because of the small area and small amount, but the large area of blood on the ground, although it has not dried up, has also shown signs of darkening and stickiness, and it is obvious that it should have been there for at least an hour or two. She looked at the time and roughly calculated that the murderer might have committed the act of killing and dismembering the body, probably at two or three o'clock in the morning, or even earlier.

I'm afraid that this specific conclusion will not be reached until the forensic doctor has undergone a careful examination.

"I find it strange why the two deceased seem to have no struggle at all. Bai Xue said to Xiao Geyan, "Could it be that after killing people, they put the bodies of two people together, and then started to do it*?"

"No, look at the bottom half of the quilt, it's a little messy," Xiao Geyan shook his head and motioned for Bai Xue to pay attention to this detail, "It's obvious that there was a struggle, but it wasn't particularly intense." Nine times out of ten, the two deceased were drunk or given sedatives or other drugs before they were killed. ”

After finishing speaking, he motioned to Bai Xue: "Let's go, let's take a look at the situation next door, the other deceased must be in the next room, let's see if there is any difference between the two sides." ”

Bai Xue nodded, and walked with him to the door of another room.

As soon as he arrived here, before he could see the situation inside the house, Bai Xue heard an exclamation first.

"Teacher Xiao, I didn't expect to meet you here!"
