Chapter 2: Knives

Of course, Fang Yuan is not well-informed, although as a newcomer in the workplace, her luck is also good, since the beginning of the internship, she has always had the opportunity to come into contact with some more representative cases, but compared with the old criminal police who have been in the industry for many years, her vision is still much narrower, so when she looks at this posture, she can't help but be stunned.

Dai Xu relied on the advantage of height, standing behind Fang Yuan, he could also have an unobstructed view of the situation in the room, he joined the work a few years earlier than Fang Yuan, and his knowledge was a little wider than Fang Yuan, but this kind of scene where the whole house was painted scarlet, he really saw it for the first time, the whole house was looked at, except for the dead and the ceiling, no one was ignored, even the bed of the deceased was also soaked in a large piece of red, the corpse was in a scarlet, and the whole picture revealed the word "weird".

Fang Yuan looked down and saw that there was half a shoe print on the painted floor at the door, she hurriedly signaled to Dai Xu, Dai Xu pulled her to the side, and asked her colleagues to take pictures of the shoe prints at the door and the overall situation in the house, and only after taking the photos did she carefully cross the half footprints at the door and walk into the house.

As soon as they entered, everyone realized that the paint had not yet dried, and although the surface seemed to have dried, in fact the underneath had not dried, and some of the people who went in first were immediately stuck to the shoe covers with the red paint that had not dried, and it was very difficult to move around the house. There was no choice but to quit and go to the car to get a few mats, which were temporarily not on the ground at the scene, so that they could easily get in and out. After all, the medical examiner is going to go in and examine the body, and after processing the scene, the body of the deceased still has to be carried out. When I took it back to the Public Security Bureau, I was stuck with paint all over the floor, which was obviously not good and inconvenient.

Even if the mat was laid on the ground, the forensic and forensic colleagues were still very careful when they entered, and the room where the deceased was located was not large, with only a simple single bed in the room. There is also a simple closet with cloth topping, and a small wooden table, on which some skin care products, makeup and other things are randomly arranged. These three basic pieces of furniture alone were almost filling the hut, leaving only enough space for two or three people. But the simple wardrobe with the cloth surface was also painted red, and it was easy to rub it if you were not careful. So take pictures of people. There are also people who inspect the corpses, all of whom are very careful to move their positions, trying to control the extent of damage to the scene to the smallest extent that can be reached by manpower, and try to maintain the original appearance.

Because the smell of paint is too pungent, at first it just feels unpleasant, but after a long time in the body, people will have a kind of discomfort that is smoked so that the nose hurts and the head is a little swollen. So everyone wore masks, after Forensic Liu was fully armed. Stepping on the cushion on the ground and cautiously entered the room, Dai Xu and Fang Yuan stood at the door, wanting to hear what the situation of the deceased was, the space in the room was limited, so the two of them decided not to go in and make trouble for others, especially Dai Xu, with the tall and big frame of others, if one person enters, it is estimated that two people will have to come out of it to make room for him.

Forensic doctor Liu did an examination of the corpse, and soon came to a preliminary conclusion, the deceased was preliminarily stabbed up and down, about 20 knives, most of them were concentrated in the abdomen, from the shape of the knife, it is a more common household fruit knife and the like, the knife edge is very messy, it looks like a person in anger, holding a knife to stab people to death, and in the neck of the deceased, there are also several obvious knife wounds, but not stabbing wounds, but cut out, the wound is relatively deep, However, because the sheets under the deceased's body were all painted with red paint, and even the deceased's hair, back, and the back of his legs were stained with red paint, there was no way to determine whether the specific location of the deceased who was killed by the murderer at that time was on this single bed or other positions, let alone through the red paint all over the house to determine the direction of the blood splash through the naked eye.

Because of this, the cause of the deceased's death was whether the two dozen or so knives on his body were not, and Forensic Doctor Liu could not give a conclusive conclusion for the time being, and could only wait for the results of the follow-up examination, and at present, the approximate time of death could only be judged from the zombie state of the corpse. Since the corpse's mortis has almost spread to the whole body, according to common sense, the time of death should be between four and six hours from now, but considering the age of the deceased, and the fact that there is no heating in this simple small ping room, it is now about nine o'clock in the morning, and the indoor temperature is still not high, so it can be seen that the situation at night should be similar, and the level of room temperature, the age and even the figure of the deceased are inextricably related to the speed of the formation of the zombie. So Forensic Doctor Liu measured the rectal temperature of the corpse again, and found that the rectal body temperature of the deceased had dropped to 30 degrees Celsius, according to the standard rectal body temperature of 37 degrees Celsius as a reference, combined with the characteristics of the season that has gradually entered winter, Forensic Doctor Liu made some estimates, and believed that the time of death of the deceased should be about five hours.

At first glance, it seems that he was wearing a scarlet and dark red clothes, such a state of old corpse also makes people instinctively make some relevant associations, Forensic Doctor Liu, as a senior professional, naturally will not miss such details, so he also examined the female corpse's lower body for the first time, and determined that the female corpse had had a relationship with someone in a short period of time before the murder. Close. However, no bodily fluids were extracted, so it can be seen that the other party took protective measures, and from the perspective of the deceased's own situation, it does not look like it was violated, but more like the deceased had a relationship with someone out of his own volition, and the possibility of violence can be ruled out.

Judging from such a scene, it was not easy to draw these conclusions, Dai Xu and Fang Yuan explained their hard work to the busy Forensic Doctor Liu, and decided that after mastering these circumstances, they would first go to the informant to inquire about the whole incident of discovering the murder of the deceased, and the informant had been crying loudly in another room during their investigation of the scene, but it didn't sound like sadness. More like being scared.

However, this is not surprising, such a scene, Fang Yuan will also feel his heart beating faster when he faces it directly. This is still the result of her many appearances on the scene and exercise, and she still can't do it if she wants to stay 100% calm, let alone an ordinary young woman who is not psychologically prepared.

The two of them turned around and went to another room diagonally opposite, at the door of the room stood a police officer from a police station who had originally come to deal with the scene, and the nearby police station had sent two people to check the scene, and one of them was now outside to assist the people of the criminal police team of the city bureau to do some auxiliary work. The remaining one stayed with the informant, probably because the informant's mood was really not very stable, so it was not very reassuring.

The police at the police station saw that Dai Xu and Fang Yuan had passed. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and roughly told Dai Xu what he and his colleagues saw after they came over, basically when they came, the reporter was already frightened and broke down. They pacified for a while. It didn't have any effect, so I had to helplessly hope that she could calm down a little by herself, and by the way, she confirmed the scene and notified the city bureau.

Dai Xu thanked him, and he hurriedly said a few polite words, and then went outside the house to help his colleagues, leaving the reporter to Dai Xu and Fang Yuan, and Dai Xu and Fang Yuan found out. It turned out that the informant was not alone in this room, except for the young female informant. There was also a man.

Fang Yuan quickly looked at this room, the area was slightly more spacious than the deceased's room, but it was also very limited, the furniture in the room was also very simple, a double bed with an iron shelf, an old blackened wooden table, the table was full of messy miscellaneous items, there was an ashtray stuffed with cigarette butts, on the other side was a simple closet with cloth surface, and there were several pairs of shoes thrown horizontally on the cement floor, it was estimated that the deceased's room was not painted scarlet before it was painted, Also such a cement floor.

There were two people sitting on the double bed, a man looked to be in his twenties and thirties, with a long face, wearing a set of off-white autumn clothes and trousers, the lower half of his body was still covered with a quilt, his body was half leaning on the head of the bed, he looked sleepy-eyed and couldn't keep up his spirits, and the woman looked a little younger, probably only in her early twenties, sitting on the edge of the bed, her shoulders shaking and still crying, but obviously she had no strength to cry, she was wearing clothes from outside, wrapped in a woolen coat, Below is a thick black stocking, the height and angle of the heel of the high-heeled boots on her feet, it looks like Fang Yuan feels a little painful for her feet, the style is also the kind of one with a lot of rhinestones, it looks more shiny, and at the same time it is more tacky, this woman's face should have been painted with heavy makeup, but she cried too fiercely, her tears melted her eyeliner and mascara, a pair of eyes turned into panda eyes, not to mention, the cheeks that were originally covered with thick foundation were also washed out of several black lines by tears.

It is worth noting that the pair of high-heeled boots on the girl's feet are navy blue, but on the toe of her right foot, there is a faint red thing, which seems to be the paint in the deceased's room, and her feet are not big, and the shoe shape is a pointed style, which is very consistent with the half footprint at the door of the deceased's room.

When Fang Yuan saw this situation, he also had a general idea in his heart, I am afraid that the half of the footprints were left by this female informant, as for how they were left, we have to see what she said.

"You're the informant, aren't you?" Fang Yuan took the lead in opening his mouth, in this case, the reporter received a lot of mental stimulation, and it was a young girl, Dai Xu's presence might bring a sense of security to the other party because of his frame and the profession of the policeman, but if he opened his mouth to ask, it might also bring a sense of psychological oppression to the other party, which made the reporter even more nervous, so even if she was in charge of asking, her attitude was much slower than usual, "Can you tell us about the situation at that time?" What is your name? ”

"My name is Miao Qiulian, and I live here." The informant scowled, and while speaking, he wiped it on his face with the back of his hand, which was okay, but there was just a black watermark on both cheeks, and now she was so careless that the whole face was about to be smeared into an abstract ink painting.

Fang Yuan really couldn't bear to see her wipe her tears so indiscriminately, so he hurriedly took out a tissue and handed it over, letting Miao Qiulian wipe her little flower face well, and then asked, "What is the relationship between the deceased and you?" ”

"I have nothing to do with her, it's just a shared house, so I'm roommates." Miao Qiulian took the tissue and wiped a few handfuls on her face, it is estimated that she also realized that her makeup was spent, but now she was still in shock, and she was not in the mood to pay attention to what looked good or not, "I came back from work this morning, and as soon as I entered the door, I smelled a smell of paint in the house, especially choking, this cold day, closed the windows and closed the door, and smoked so much that people couldn't open their eyes, and I couldn't breathe, I looked all over the house to find where the paint smell came from, and then I found that the more I went to Zhao Yinghua's house, the stronger the smell of paint became. I was quite angry at the time, I thought what she was doing, what kind of moth came out of the good way, what kind of paint was painted on a cold day, how do we live, I was angry, so I wanted to go over to her and talk to her, but I went to the door of her house and pushed the door, I ...... I just looked at her......"

Speaking of this, Miao Qiulian's throat seemed to choke, and she couldn't go on.

"Zhao Yinghua is the name of the deceased, right?" Fang Yuan confirmed with Miao Qiulian, and when he saw Miao Qiulian nodded, he asked again, "What do you do?" What time do you get back from work in the morning? ”

"I work in a KTV, and I am responsible for opening a private room for people at the front desk, charging or something, two shifts, one day shift, one week night shift, and I am replaced." Miao Qiulian said sullenly, "This week it is my turn to work the night shift, from six o'clock in the evening to six o'clock in the morning, after work, I took a colleague's hitchhike to this neighborhood, and then walked back, I was tired all night, I want to go home and sleep well, who would have thought that I would encounter such a thing as soon as I came back." ”

As she spoke, her tears fell again, shocked, frightened and aggrieved.

"Who is this......?" Dai Xu waited for Miao Qiulian to cry for a while, calmed down a little, and then opened his mouth, stretched out his hand and pointed at the man behind her who looked drowsy, and asked.

Miao Qiulian turned her head to look at the man behind her, sniffed, and said, "He's my boyfriend." (To be continued......)
