No. 499 Headless Ghost (5)
Someone was killed, and the head was cut off!
When Lin Lei learned the news, his mood suddenly fell to the bottom.
The murder finally happened......
No matter how much Lin Lei wanted to stop the crime, and even spent the whole night waiting for the rabbit, there are too many "plants" in this world, who knows which tree the rabbit will crash into?
After sighing softly, Lin Lei collected his mood and immediately walked in the direction of the police car.
The more you walk, the more familiar the road becomes......
The police car stopped in a place that Lin Lei was too familiar with to be familiar with-
The entrance of Jiaxing Hotel!
The deceased was a man from the inn?!!
Lin Lei quickened his pace, wanting to go over and take a look.
At this moment, the innkeeper, Widow Chen, walked out of the courtyard gate of the hotel with several policemen.
Widow Chen bumped into Lin Lei head-on, couldn't help but be taken aback, pointed at Lin Lei and said to the policeman beside her, "Police...... Mr. Policeman, I said it last night...... Those who do not return all night will ...... That's him!"
A tall policeman immediately walked up to Lin Lei, looked at Lin Lei, and asked in a cold voice, "Your name is Lin Lei?"
Identity registration is required for accommodation anywhere in the world, so it's no surprise that the police know Lin Lei's name.
Lin Lei is not a film and television star, although he is well-known in the Interpol community, it is not surprising that the police here in Tianchang Town do not know him, even if he has heard of the name, there are too many people with the same name and surname in this world, and it doesn't mean anything.
Since there has been a murder, it is really normal for the police to come and ask about the situation.
Lin Lei didn't return last night, if there was a murder nearby, then his suspicion must be very big.
Lin Lei didn't know what the case was at the moment, and he didn't have time to pretend to be slapped in the face or anything, so he took out a document from his arms and handed it to the policeman.
This document was handled by Inspector Chen to the senior management of the T police, and the steel seal stamped was from the Police Administration, and of course the position was still a consultant, but Lin Lei's identity was specially added in front - "detective".
The whole T didn't even have a person who entered the detective system recognized by the Interpol community, which was far inferior to the book, so when the policeman saw this document similar to a "letter of introduction", he immediately "snapped" and stood upright on the spot and saluted: "Detective Lin is good!"
Lin Lei said "Hello comrades" in his stomach, but he smiled slightly, waved his hand, and asked directly about the case: "What's the matter?"
There were many onlookers present, and everyone was surprised by Lin Lei's identity, and there was a voice of discussion in private.
Lin Lei didn't bother to care about the others, and directly set his eyes on the policeman in front of him.
The policeman walked up to Lin Lei and cautiously reported his name: "Detective Lin, I'm Li Zhiqiang from the Third Branch of the TB Criminal Police Bureau......"
Li Zhiqiang said while paying attention to Lin Lei's expression, and found that Lin Lei didn't seem to have much interest in his name, so he couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart, and hurriedly talked about the case: "Detective Lin, someone reported this morning that an unknown male corpse was found in a field, and ...... And the head was cut off......"
"Field, where is the field?" Lin Lei immediately asked.
Li Zhiqiang pointed with his right hand and pointed in the direction behind the hotel, and replied: "The field is behind the Jiaxing Hotel, only about fifty meters away. ”
It turned out that someone died in the field behind the Jiaxing Hotel, so the police came to investigate the closest place to the place where the crime occurred, which was exactly what it should mean.
"Let's go and see. Lin Lei said to Officer Li.
"Okay. Officer Li answered, turned to the other policemen behind him and said, "You continue to record confessions......
After a pause, Officer Li glanced at the crowd of onlookers eating melons, frowned, and said, "Divide a team of people to visit the situation, and other irrelevant people should not approach the scene." ”
After the arrangements were made, Officer Li led the way, and Lin Lei followed him to the scene of the crime, where a team of police officers was already carrying out a scene investigation.
After arriving at the scene, a policeman came over and said to Officer Li: "Officer Li, we have been searching near the field for a long time, but we have not found the head of the deceased. ”
Officer Li didn't dare to hold up in front of Lin Lei, so he directly turned his inquiring eyes on him, signaling whether it was Detective Lin who would interrogate.
Lin Lei didn't ink, and asked directly, "Are there footprints or anything around there?"
The policeman shook his head and said, "This field has been abandoned for a long time, and people often come to barbecue and picnics, and we found a lot of fresh footprints in it, which should have been left yesterday, about ten people, too messy to prove anything." ”
Lin Lei bowed slightly, and a look of disappointment appeared on his face.
Of course, with the world's top criminal investigation methods, the laboratory can definitely identify the specific freshness of the footprints. But at all times, we must also consider the actual situation, not all cases can take evidence to the world's top criminal investigation technology laboratory for identification, the cycle is too long, and there are so many crimes in the world, it is not realistic to use the top criminal investigation technology for each case.
Lin Lei said a little unwillingly: "You search carefully again, and don't miss any suspicious traces." ”
"Yes!" Although the policeman didn't know Lin Lei's identity, he was also a person with high emotional intelligence, and when he looked at the attitude of his boss, Officer Li, he knew that Lin Lei must be someone from above, maybe some kind of big official......
The policeman nodded, turned away, and continued to do the scene investigation.
"Why does the murderer go to great lengths to cut off the head of the deceased, you must know that beheading is definitely a technical job, and if an inexperienced person gives you a knife, it will be difficult for you to cut off another person's head. Officer Li frowned and said, "Also, where is the head of the deceased?, was it discarded somewhere by the murderer, or was it hidden by the murderer?"
Lin Lei's eyes narrowed slightly, noncommittal.
After a long time, Lin Lei suddenly smiled and said to Officer Li: "If you can figure out the problem you said, this case is probably not far from the truth!"
After a pause, Lin Lei continued: "The top priority is to search for the deceased's head everywhere. ”
"Hmm. Officer Li nodded repeatedly.
After the police investigating the scene finished the work at hand, Lin Lei entered the field and carefully observed the relevant situation at the scene of the deceased's murder.
The deceased was a middle-aged man, wearing a black coat, lying on his side on the ground, with a large red blood stain on his back, presumably being attacked with a sharp weapon in the back.
Lin Lei only glanced at it, and felt that although this person had no head, he was very familiar, wasn't it the newspaper photojournalist before?
It's just that because there is no head confirmation, Lin Lei didn't speak, just kept silent.
After some examination, the forensic doctor reported to Lin Lei that the murder weapon should have been a single-edged dagger, and the time when the deceased was killed was probably between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m.
"This isn't the scene of the first crime, right?" Lin Lei looked at the amount of bleeding on the ground, and knew that this scene should be the scene of the corpse.
The forensic doctor nodded and replied: "It should be someone who abandoned the body here, because the road near the field is messy due to the large number of onlookers after the report, and the footprints are messy, it is difficult to distinguish which ones were left by the murderer......"
This is a situation often encountered at the scene of the crime, and many scenes have been destroyed because of irrelevant melon-eating crowds, which is a pity.
But this is also a normal situation, because there are many people who exercise in the morning, and not everyone can see the corpses in the fields at a glance, and it is not unusual for people to pass by the nearby road.
It seems that it is very difficult to solve the case from footprints or traces left at the scene, and it is necessary to think differently.
At this moment, a policeman ran quickly from the direction of Jiaxing Hotel, shouting as he ran:
"Officer Li, Officer Li, someone in Jiaxing Hotel saw a headless ghost in the middle of the night last night!"
Hiss –
Lin Lei gasped, and his face immediately became solemn!
Officer Li, who was beside Lin Lei, was taken aback, and immediately asked in a loud voice, "Who? Who saw the headless ghost?"
