Chapter 37: Hair
γFirst Updateγ
Not only that, but among the things that Dai Xuzai carefully took out, there were also half of the laces of the sneakers, dirty, most of them were burned, and there was still a palm-long slap left, which seemed to have a special color.
When Fang Yuan looked at the few things on the ground, Dai Xu had already shifted his attention to the pot of stinky water, he used the wattle stick he had just reached into the pot, gently picked it twice, and then took it out to see, there was nothing, and then he tried again, and after a few times, he finally had two more short hairs of one or two inches long on the wet thorn. Dai Xu carefully took off the two hairs with wattle sticks, put them in the prepared evidence bag, put them aside, took out his mobile phone, and called others to come over to inspect the scene.
"Did you just go out of your way to find out if there was any hair in the pot?" Fang Yuan asked, and at the same time, she had also carefully put the fragments of clothes that Dai Xu had taken out of the hearth that had not been completely burned clean into the evidence bag.
Dai Xu nodded: "Yes, our hair is actually quite fragile, people are alive and well, they will lose their hair, so I just saw the water in the pot, I was thinking, there is grease on the surface, it is estimated that it is indeed something that has been boiled meat, and it has those mildew, in this season, it means that it has been a while, it can't be the last one or two days, if this cauldron is really used to cook human heads, then in the process of cooking a human head, it is most likely to stay in the water, and it is not easy to be found by the murderer. It may be the hair, as long as the hair is found, the fact that this pot is used to cook people's heads is basically nine out of ten. Otherwise, who will have hair in the pot they use for cooking? I picked two with a few strokes of the stick. It is estimated that when they finish collecting water samples, they will clear out all the water in this pot, and they can still filter out a lot. β
Probably hearing Dai Xu's voice on the phone, the village committee cadre poked his head out of the back door and asked nervously, "There can't really be anything, right?" Is something really going on here? β
Dai Xu nodded, there was no need to hide it from him now: "Yes, we suspect that this is the first scene of a criminal case we are investigating. So someone needs to come over for an on-site inspection in a while, can you entrust you to do your best to do a good job in the village, mainly young and middle-aged men in their twenties and thirties. β
The cadres of the village committee saw this. also realized the strictness of the matter, and didn't dare to slack off, so he nodded hurriedly and ran out at a trot. I guess I went to find someone. But just a few seconds later, he turned back breathlessly and asked Dai Xu: "Across a ridge, there is a next village at the other end, there are a lot of people on both sides, and many of them are also related to each other, do you want me to call that end and ask that village together?" β
"That's fine. This side is more comprehensive and more secure. Dai Xu agreed to his suggestion.
When the village committee cadres saw him, they thought it would work. Immediately he turned around and ran away quickly.
Dai Xu and they were waiting for others to come over, and they also checked in other rooms by the way, the house left by the old lady, not counting the kitchen, there are three in total, because the old lady has been dead for a long time, and it has been abandoned here, it is estimated that after the old man passed away, when the children came back to deal with the aftermath, they also disposed of the old man's personal belongings before his death, so there are almost only a few old clothes full of dust and dead insects in the cabinets in the house, and there are some abandoned gadgets, Plastic flowers, bad alarm clocks and the like, there are two rooms with iron shelves of the kind of wooden bed, which is full of waste and debris, covered with a thick layer of ash, and the remaining room is estimated to be where the old lady lived before her death, there is a kang in the house, and there is a broken quilt piled up on the kang, the quilt is dirty, or the old-fashioned quilt of tribute satin, Dai Xu walked over and picked the quilt with the wattle stick in his hand, and a mouse hiding in the quilt was frightened, squeaked out from under the quilt, and quickly ran away, Fang Yuan, who was unprepared, was also startled, Dai Xu lifted the quilt again, and saw a nest of little mice that had just been born hidden in the torn quilt, full of flesh, squeezing and squirming in the nest that the torn quilt had turned into with his eyes closed.
Fang Yuan was afraid of mice, seeing this, his whole body was suddenly full of goosebumps, and he subconsciously took two steps back, and he was afraid that Dai Xu would see it, after all, a criminal policeman who shouldn't even be afraid of dead corpses, he was so frightened that his face changed color when he saw a mouse, which was a bit too embarrassing, but this kind of fear that he had since he was a child was not so easy to serve, just seeing those little mice from a distance, Fang Yuan already felt uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
She quickly found an excuse for herself to leave the room, and offered to go to the front door to check the situation, Dai Xu nodded, agreed, he could see that Fang Yuan was scared, so he also covered the quilt that he lifted up, so as not to make Fang Yuan feel uncomfortable when he looked at it, the front door was relatively close to this room, so he didn't have anything to worry about, and he himself also briefly checked the side of the room, and found no suspicious signs, judging from the situation in these three rooms, The possibility that the murderer once lived here is very small, if this is really the first scene, then the murderer must have used some method to bring the victim here, after the body was divided, he buried the torso in the mass grave overnight, and then came back to burn the fire and cook the head, and left overnight before dawn, so no one found the trace of the murderer, and the villagers saw the chimney smoking in the early morning, but did not see any suspicious people.
Dai Xu was still thinking about the meaning behind these details, and Fang Yuan turned back from the main entrance.
"Tonic they're coming, I'll let them go around the back door." She said to Dai Xu, "The lock on the front door was locked from the inside, so I didn't move, and I waited for a while to take photos and take fingerprints." β
"The door is locked from the inside?" Dai Xu raised an eyebrow, "You're doing the right thing." If this case develops to this point, it will be interesting, the person was killed in this little-known small village, and the head may have been cooked in the kitchen cauldron of this old house, and the body was buried in the mass grave of this village, but the skull had to be brought back to the city by a lot of painstaking efforts, and it was specially hidden on the haunted house of the carnival Skull Mountain, what is the purpose of such a cumbersome step? Why did the murderer know that there was an abandoned old house in this village? Was this an accident, or was it part of a plan? β
"And as far as we know, Guan Yongfu and Zhang Ying don't talk about this village, they don't seem to have anything to do with this county." Fang Yuan said, and then she suddenly seemed to think of something, and recalled, "Jiang Yuanzhong's origin seems to be from this county!" We didn't check his personal information before, he was raised by Zhang Ying's parents after his parents divorced, so his household registration was moved from this county and fell into Zhang Ying's house, could it be that it has something to do with here? β
"Don't be in a hurry to guess this matter, if you have such a question, you will know it after you go back, it is estimated that Tonic has already brought someone in, let's go over and help, the physical evidence clues that can be found in this house are estimated to be more than just those few pieces of unburned clothes, fabrics and hair." Dai Xu heard a sound outside the back door, so he signaled Fang Yuan, and walked towards the kitchen, he had another kind of bold speculation and suspicion in his heart in the overall direction of this case, worried that all his previous efforts would come to naught, but because this was just the supervisor's speculation he made based on today's series of discoveries, there was no theoretical basis, and there was not enough evidence to corroborate, so he didn't say it blindly.
Tang Hongye was still helping with some finishing work near the mass grave where the headless man's corpse was dug up, and here it was Tang Li who came with his colleagues from the torture technique, Dai Xu and Fang Yuan went over to explain the previous discoveries and some information about the owner of the house, and then everyone got busy with a clear division of labor, surveying and inspecting all the rooms of the house, including the kitchen.
Because of this flat. Compared with ordinary buildings and apartments, its pattern is slightly tortuous, there are some small corridors and other passages, the criminal technicians are very careful to collect footprints on all the ground that may need to pass inside and outside the house, and carefully confirm the fingerprints of all the doors and windows, in the whole room, it was found that there are two sets of relatively clear shoe prints, judging from the size, it should be the footprints of two adult men, when they just found out about this situation, everyone was a little surprised, Could it be that this case involved not only one murderer, but a gang of more than one person?
After further analysis of the collected footprints, they put this question aside for the time being, although the two sets of footprints are the size of adult males, but one group should be men's leather shoes from the color and shape of the sole print, while the other group is more like the sole pattern of sneakers, considering that Dai Xu found a small piece of sneaker laces from the ashes of the hearth that were not burned clean, so it cannot be completely ruled out that the shoes may belong to the deceased, and if this assumption is true, It is very likely that the deceased was not brought to this abandoned old house after being killed.
So where do the sneakers go, aside from the laces that haven't been completely burned clean? In addition to the skin, there are a lot of fibers and synthetic materials in the sneakers, which are not too easy to burn, if the laces are not burned clean, and there is still the fabric of jeans left in the stove, a pair of sneakers is burned to the point that it is obviously impractical, but soon, the criminal technicians found that there were some burned rubber residues in the hearth, so it is speculated that it is possible that the shoes were also thrown into the stove pit and burned, but because it is not good to burn, it may have been later made out by the murderer, I chose a different discard method and disposed of it.
