Chapter 40: Discovery
Zhang Hao looked at the hands in front of him that had been burned and it was difficult to distinguish whether they were men or women, young or old, and showed a relaxed and slightly excited smile. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although the burned flesh and blood of the hands in front of him were blurred, it could be vaguely seen that there had been a lot of large and small knife wounds on the hands, which was exactly the same as Zhang Hao's reasoning, the murderer deliberately dealt with the severed hand in order to increase the difficulty of the police investigation, so that the police fell into a fog for a while.
But just in case, Zhang Hao still took off the severed hands and handed them to Xiao Li on the side: "Xiao Li, this should be Zhao Shushan's severed hands, you take it back and let the forensic department identify it to see if it matches Zhao Shushan's DNA."
"Huh? This is Zhao Shushan's severed hand that we have never found? Xiao Li took the severed hands that had been burned, and looked at Zhang Hao in disbelief, "But how can you be sure that these severed hands are Zhao Shushan's, not the original corpse?"
"If you take a closer look, what is the cause of death of this corpse?" Zhang Hao said to Xiao Li.
"Hmm...... It's a fire. Xiao Li looked at the cause of death marked on the nameplate in the center of the freezer where the body was placed, and said.
"That's right, it's a fire, Xiao Li, look at the severed hand in your hand again."
Xiao Li did so, he carefully observed the severed hand in his hand, and after a while, his eyes flashed, he looked at Zhang Hao and said: "Team Zhang, although the flesh and blood that have been burned on these severed hands are blurred, you can vaguely see that there are a lot of scars on the surface of the skin."
"Go on." Zhang Hao looked at Xiao Li, and his eyes showed a glint of approval.
"Oh. Team Zhang, since the cause of death of this corpse was caused by fire, how could there be so many scars on his hands? And it is estimated that it should be a knife mark. And judging from the faint smell of scorching rot emanating from this severed hand, the time for which this hand was burned should not have been more than two days, otherwise the scorching smell would have dissipated long ago in this morgue full of formalin smell for a long time. There is also the severed hand of the corpse, which is a big problem, a person is burned alive, so how can his hands be cut off? ”
At this point in the analysis, Xiao Li paused, took a breath, and then continued to analyze: "Unless it is murder, how can the hands of a person who was burned to death by fire be broken?" The fire would have burned the body at best, but it could not have been burned, and the official certificate of the hospital could not have been wrong, otherwise the body would have been in the medical examiner's autopsy room, not the hospital morgue. ”
After carefully observing the severed hands again, and then looking at the corpse again, Xiao Li added: "Another point, the degree of incineration of the severed hand in my hand is obviously different from the incineration of the corpse in front of me, which is a little slight."
After Zhang Hao listened to Xiao Li's reasoning and analysis, he seemed to have discovered a new continent as happy and incredulous, although he asked Xiao Li to continue just because he wanted to give him a chance to try and encourage him, but what Zhang Hao never expected was that Xiao Li's reasoning and analysis was so close to the facts, from this point of view, Xiao Li's observation ability was as delicate and cautious as himself.
"Xiao Li, yes, I really didn't expect your observation to be so subtle." After being surprised, Zhang Hao quickly returned to normal, and then looked at Xiao Li with appreciative eyes.
"Uh, hehe, it's okay, it's just a proprietary foundation that I need when I go to the police academy." Xiao Li blushed a little when he was praised by Zhang Hao.
Looking at the blushing big boy in front of him who was about the same age as himself, Zhang Hao had an inexplicable feeling of sympathy: "Xiao Li, don't be modest, it's your ability that is your ability, needless to say what is basic knowledge, who doesn't have basic knowledge?" But few people can do this kind of observation, especially in the police profession, this nuanced observation must have. ”
"Hehe, Team Zhang, if you praise me again, I'm afraid I will be arrogant, which is not good for the case." Xiao Li said teasingly.
If you can't stand this little praise, how can you do great things? Hehe. ”
Xiao Li looked at Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao looked back at Xiao Li, and after a long time, the two laughed. The laughter of the two instantly resounded throughout the morgue, making the atmosphere in the morgue even more weird.
"Eh, cough cough" Realizing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Xiao Li coughed a little, allowing himself to stop laughing, "By the way, Team Zhang, Zhao Shushan's severed hand has been found, so where is his heart?" Could it be the same corpse? ”
"Xiao Li, this severed hand has not yet been identified, so it can only be inferred, although we can be sure that the severed hand is Zhao Shushan's severed hand, but as policemen, we can't rely on reasoning alone, but on evidence. Zhao Shushan's heart should be around this corpse. ”
"The perimeter of the corpse? So where is it exactly? Xiao Li looked at the corpses around him that were covered by a white cloth, and he couldn't see any difference between the corpses at all. After all, everything is covered by a white cloth, and the appearance is almost the same.
"If my reasoning is correct, Zhao Shushan's heart should be hidden on a certain corpse in the same row as this corpse." Zhang Hao looked at the corpses in the same row, and his face gradually became serious.
"Team Zhang, why do you say that Zhao Shushan's heart is around the body where the severed hand was found? Wouldn't the murderer hide his heart from his severed hand at a distance? Maybe the heart has been taken out of the city hospital, and I don't know where it is hidden? Xiao Li was puzzled.
Faced with Xiao Li's series of questions, Zhang Hao carefully and carefully told Xiao Li the reasoning he had made before. After listening to this, Xiao Li looked at Zhang Hao with great admiration, because he listened carefully to Zhang Hao's reasoning and found that it was very logical and factual, and there was no flaw at all.
"According to Team Zhang's analysis, the murderer is indeed a person who has his own principles, and has a very high IQ, and he has to challenge the police, from these points, the murderer will indeed not place his heart far away from the severed hand, so he will not be able to complete his plan to challenge the police."
"That's right, if it's too far apart, then the police may not be able to find it, and they can't find it, so the police can't continue to investigate, and in this way, the murderer will lose the meaning of wanting to challenge the police. And if it is placed too close, or in the same place, it is too difficult, and the murderer does not want such a boring challenge. ”
"So, Team Zhang, where will Zhao Shushan's heart be?"
Zhang Hao didn't respond to Xiao Li's question, he scanned his eyes at all the corpses in the row in front of him, and it didn't take long for him to find what he was looking for on the penultimate corpse in this row. (To be continued.) )
