The Unexpected Clues in Chapter 21 of the First Arrival in America (Part 1)

Next chapter

The wind was blowing, and the shirt of the weekend crouching in the weeds in the suburbs of Los Angeles was blowing in the same direction as the weeds were blown and his hair was shaking, while his eyes were against the wind, looking intently at the corpse in front of him.

"Why does this smell worse than the last time I fished a corpse out of a septic tank?"

The knight covered his nose and endured the stench of corpses, and stood behind him in extreme annoyance.

Weekend turned his head and didn't speak, he seemed to know why Connors didn't like him anymore.

In general, the body hardens within 30 minutes to 2 hours after death, is completely stiff within 9 to 12 hours, softens within 30 hours, and returns to its original state within 70 hours. However, it will be delayed in the case of water or soil, low temperature and dryness, and accelerated in high temperature and humidity environment. Experienced police officers will directly determine the time of death through observation and simple touch, based on this experience, if the face and limbs are cold, and the time of death is between 1 hour and 2 hours if the corpse mortis and corpse spots begin to appear; If the corpse spots are distributed in patches, and most of the corpses are already stiff, it will take 3 to 4 hours; The cornea is cloudy, the lips begin to wrinkle, the pupils respond to the use of mydriasis and mydriatic drops, and the time to death is 5 to 6 hours.

The corpse at the scene is completely different from the above, the corpse is swollen and the lower abdomen is bulging, and many wounds on the body are surrounded by flies and insects...... How can the stench of decaying corpses after oxidation emit at this moment smell good?

"Zhou, this corpse should have been dead for more than a month, right?"

"Half a month at most." Weekend responded.

The knight retorted: "This is impossible, judging from the surface characteristics of the corpse, it is impossible to become like this for half a month." ”

Weekend's thoughts were interrupted, and he looked back at the knight again, and found the knight crouched beside him and said, "Dew." ”

He replied briefly, and then returned to his own thoughts, because in his eyes, the normal time of death of this corpse should be about a month, which is the conclusion drawn from the liquefaction process of the soft tissues of the corpse, not the standard answer; But early autumn in Los Angeles is still hot. The same high temperatures, combined with the humidity of the area and the dew of the night in the wild, as well as the destruction of flies and insects, cut the time of death of the body by half.

That is, about half a month.

Half a month?

This is at least the same as the Kim Tae-hee he was looking for over the weekend on the timeline, but whether this girl is Kim Tae-hee or not still has to wait for a DNA test. As for the DNA sample, you can use Kim Jun-ho's directly.

At the same time, it was determined over the weekend that the girl had been subjected to multiple abuses during her lifetime, as was evident from the blood-stained white dress on her body, which had multiple shoe prints. The girl still has scars on her arm after being whipped, and even the left corner of her mouth has a wound that was opened by a violent attack, so more than one person was convicted of abusing Kim Tae-hee over the weekend.

"Right foot, outside the figure...... Left foot, inside figure ......"

There are two footprints on the body that have not been damaged by blood, judging from the fact that most of the footprints are intact, it should be that she was lying on the ground and stepped on before she died, one of the footprints on the right heel of the shoe did not appear on the clothes, and the other footprint did not have the left heel on the other. Not only are the two footprints different, but from these two subtle pieces of evidence, it can be concluded that there was a person at the scene who was walking outside and inside the figure who had committed violence against the deceased. Because the person with the outer figure will wear the right side of the heel when walking, and the inside figure will wear the left side, there is no one in this world who will have the situation of the right foot outside the figure and the left foot inside the figure, if there is, he must not be able to walk in a straight line.

But what happened to the multiple stab wounds at the **** location of the corpse and the abdomen?

How much hatred is this?

Isn't the abuse of many people enough to be angry? Why do you have to make up so many knives after the fight?

What did the gang do?

To say that there were only one or two stab wounds on this corpse, and the rest were all signs of torture, the weekend would have thought so, but the gangsters were not - perverts. At best, they kill their targets after committing violence, and this goal can be accomplished through one or two wounds, in fact, gangsters prefer to use guns when killing. According to research, the guilt of killing with a gun is far lower than that of using a knife.

"Knight, have you notified the Homicide Division?"

The knight crouched down and said, "Noticed." ”

Then, over the weekend, he made two phone calls, the first one to Kim Jun-ho, who had just said that he needed his DNA sample to identify the body. Over the weekend, I found that the breathing sounds in the earpiece had stopped; The second call was made to Liu Jun, but Liu Jun didn't give the weekend a chance to speak, and at the moment of connection, he replied with a sentence of 'I'm working, I'll call back in a while' and hung up the phone, the phone was a deafening deafness that is common in nightclubs, and it seemed that someone was roaring and shouting 'another tequila'.

At that time, I looked at my watch on the weekend, and it was 1:45 p.m.

"Knight, who called the police?"

He responded: "I don't know, the person who called the police did not leave a name, but I checked the phone number, it is a public phone at the airport." ”

"Credit card or coin?"

"Uh......"

The knight froze.

How could he have imagined that such a detailed question would be asked over the weekend?

"I'll go back and check."

"I also want to be able to take a video of the public facility near the airport," he added on the weekend. ”

He asked whether to pay by credit card or by coin because there is a clear difference between the two types of phones, and the starting price of credit card payment is $10, compared to the flexibility of a coin that costs $0.5 to make a local call for 4 minutes and $1 to make a national call for 4 minutes.

At that time, the surrounding police lights began to flash, and the homicide bureau appeared at the scene of the murder under the leadership of Braden, and the forensic bureau put up lights around it, and when it was about to keep the evidence, Braden saw the weekend under the lights: "Why are you here?" ”

"Investigate the case."

Weekend squatted next to the corpse again by the light, and checked under the bright light to see if there was anything he had missed before.

Braden turned his head and walked over to the knight, and after carefully questioning the process of the crime, he began to collect evidence at the scene with his colleagues in the forensic and forensic departments, and this night, in the busy work, he had been squatting next to the corpse in the weeds on the weekend, and beside him, there were the forensic staff who were constantly changing positions, these people were busy in the dark night until dawn, and finally, when it was dark, they began to pack up their things and plan to evacuate.

Kim Jun-ho has been standing on the side of the road and looking here, seeing the body being carried into the car and still not daring to lean over.

No one knew when he arrived, but everyone saw the Asian man standing there stupidly in his shirt with the wrong buttons, trousers, and slippers.

The wind became lighter, and when the breeze swayed the weeds, Kim Jun-ho did not move; The people in the forensic department were not busy, but when they kept changing positions in the busy process, Kim Junhao did not move.

He didn't dare to move, let alone look, although he had already predicted Kim Tae-hee's death in his heart, but when it came to the moment when he could confirm it, a father just stood there stupid and never took a step closer.

At that time, the socks and shoes on the weekend were wet, and in early autumn, it was not so dry, and his feet were itchy after being soaked in dew, but he didn't come out to rest in this environment, just to find even a little more evidence.

"Let's go over and make sure."

said a word next to Jin Junhao on the weekend, and Jin Junhao responded in a daze: "I don't dare." ”

Silence became the only option for the weekend, and at this time, comfort seemed too weak.

"Officer Zhou, how did you say that a good girl could become like this?" Kim Jun-ho stood next to the car and explained, "After you let me listen to those recordings yesterday, I went to the school and met the people you came into contact with...... I can't believe Tae-hee has become like this, I ...... Why did you send her to the United States? ”

Weekend stretched out his hand, wanting to stay on his shoulder for a moment, as if to give some support, but the hand stopped in mid-air like an electric shock, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the grass where the corpse had been lying: "Mr. Jin, who have you contacted in private?" ”

He seemed to understand. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
