Chapter 324: The Mystery

As Cheng expected, like most funeral parlors, it is loosely managed and easy to be manipulated.

This place is very taboo for ordinary people, if it weren't for funerals, who would usually run here?

Not to mention the area where the nameless corpse was stored - even the surveillance was broken for several years.

Zheng Qijie calculated the time, on the eve of the target he saw was about to be disposed of, I don't know how to trick Tang Aoxue, evade the surveillance, and use a large amount of hallucinogens to make her unconscious, and then, cut off her arms.

Then he used his familiarity with the funeral home to take advantage of the unpreparedness of the victim and the target's body.

According to Funan's regulations, nameless bodies are parked in funeral homes for a maximum of one year, and if they can't find their families, they will be incinerated.

If it is as he wishes, then Tang Aoxue will indeed not leave any traces at all.

Red Lotus - corresponds to the corpse cabinet; Karmic fire – corresponds to the incinerator.

After Ling Li guessed the mystery behind it, she informed Zhu Jinchuan and Li Guo of the result as soon as possible.

The police began to investigate overnight, and there was news feedback early the next morning to the funeral home where the 32 bodies appeared in Zheng Qijie's computer.

Ling Li originally had a 1/10,000 hope that there was a way to test DNA based on the ashes, but unexpectedly, she was waiting for good news that she had never thought of.

In the funeral parlor in a small county town in the downtown area of Tiancheng City, there was a corpse that had appeared in Zheng Qijie's target, and when he searched for the cremation records, he found that it was missing, and the place where the ashes of the corpse should be stored was also empty.

The police felt very strange, and after a whole day of inspection, they found a long-forgotten female corpse in the inconspicuous and most marginal corner of the morgue.

The funeral home compared the cremation records before and after, and finally someone recalled the origin of the female corpse.

It is said that it was the nameless female corpse that was cremated, and on the day of cremation, the moment the incinerator opened, the cremation certificate in the hand of the incinerator floated in first.

This is embarrassing, without a cremation certificate, who would dare to burn people?

It was supposed to be cremated after the re-application, but at that time, when the flies and tigers were fighting together, the funeral home, which was on the verge of supervision, was unexpectedly investigated and punished for several cases of corruption.

As for why it has become a hard-hit area of corruption, the reason is also very nonsense - who burns private individuals and bargains? Therefore, all kinds of arbitrary charges have not been discovered.

Crucially, there are many places where similar situations have been found.

At that time, several main leaders of the funeral home were called to assist in the investigation, and everyone was in danger for a while, plus the leaders were gone, and various handovers were in chaos.

Losing the cremation certificate seems to be a trivial matter, but as a result, a bunch of people are greedy for life and afraid of death, and no one dares to hit the muzzle of the gun at this time, and if something happens, they will lose their jobs.

So, the matter was magically put on hold, so that the nameless corpse that should have been burned has not been burned for two years.

And judging from the characteristics of that corpse, the female, with missing arms, under thirty years old, seems to be very compatible with Tang Aoxue.

The Rudu police notified Chen Rong to identify the body as soon as possible. Zhu Jinchuan and Ling Li also rushed over.

Really, it's her.

Even if the corpse is seriously deformed, Chen Rong is sure that it is Tang Aoxue.

She had already cried until there were no more tears, and Ling Li, who had been stiff and had to look at the corpse before, was instigated for the first time, and hid out of the morgue after just one look.

Far away from there, his body couldn't stop shaking.

Chen Rong is sure that she is her daughter, but whether it is Tang Aoxue or not, she has to wait for the results of the DNA test.

A day later, DNA tests came out, and through an autopsy, the cause of death was identified.

It is true that anesthesia and the removal of the arm are real, and after pharmacological testing, a large amount of ether residue was found in Tang Aoxue's body, and there were traces of blunt object knocking on his head.

As for the cause of death, it is "death caused by disorders in the metabolism and physiological functions of substances at low temperatures".

In other words, she froze to death.

She was anesthetized with ether, hit on the head with a blunt object by Zheng Qijie, and before she came to her senses, she had already been sent to the funeral home's body.

When Ling Li heard this result, her heart was blocked, and she only hoped that the low temperature and coma could alleviate the pain before her death.

And at the same time as the autopsy results, there was another piece of good news.

In the mouth of the deceased, there were suspected other people's skin and blood stains, and the public security organs have done DNA comparison and found that those blood stains are 99.99% similar to Zheng Qijie's DNA.

In addition, in the funeral parlor where Tang Aoxue's body was found, there is an autopsy room set up by the local public security department, which can be used several times a year.

There, it is suspected that the scene of the first crime.

When Ling Li heard this result at that time, she was simply taken aback, and repeatedly confirmed it several times, knowing that Li Guo was not making fun of her, so she finally believed it.

Zheng Qijie, a "wise man", has been planning for a long time to commit crimes, but after all, he is a hundred secrets.

After all, the anesthetic effect of ether is limited, and under the pain, Tang Aoxue woke up for a moment, sat up and bit Zheng Qijie. Perhaps in a hurry, Zheng Qijie picked up a heavy object casually and knocked on Tang Aoxue's head, and then got out.

After that, he treated the wound and put Tang Aoxue, who was unconscious or in shock, into a body bag, and then into a corpse cabinet.

After he cleaned up all the blood stains in the dissection room, he forgot about the mouthful in Tang Aoxue's mouth.

After all, three days later, Tang Aoxue's body will be cremated as a nameless corpse that has been lying in the funeral home for a year.

If his plan comes true, then the police will not be able to find Tang Aoxue even if they search the ends of the earth.

No fire can compare to the heat of an incinerator, which can burn people clean, leaving no trace.

Even if he personally told the way and means of committing the crime, there was no way to convict him. Even if you know that the box of ashes is hers, how can you prove it?

In the ashes incinerated into powder at high temperatures, it is impossible to detect DNA that can be used for biochemical experiments. And what remains in the funeral home is simply the DNA of the owner of the original body locker

As for the corpse, it had already been thrown into the river by Zheng Qijie and went downstream, I don't know if it was eaten by a fish, or it was fished ashore, and it became an anonymous name.

Fortunately, things did not develop according to his preset trajectory.

After saying that, Ling Li's face turned to Zheng Qijie: "Red Lotus - it corresponds to the corpse cabinet; Karmic fire – corresponds to the incinerator. Compared with lighting a fire to burn the body yourself, the incinerator of the funeral home is of course a better choice. I have to say that your plan was seamless, but unfortunately it is unfortunate that God has eyes. On the day of the cremation, Tang Aoxue was pushed into the crematorium, and a gust of wind blew the cremation certificate into it first. Therefore, she stayed and lay alone in the corpse locker for two years, in order to expose your true face to everyone today! ”

Zheng Qijie's face was pale, Yu Wenzhong was no longer able to speak, and Chen Rong, who was in the audience, finally cried out with a sad cry.

Lan Gang was dumbfounded, and the other members of the collegial panel were not much better.

He opened his chapped lips for a long time to find the next word for himself.

"The key evidence should be submitted before trial, the victim's lawyer is not sensible, and neither do you and the prosecution? If the victim's lawyer can't figure it out this time, do you want to file a retrial after the trial on the basis of the discovery of significant evidence? You have the right to supervise the trial, so you can't do that! ”

His whining was directed at the prosecutor's office, and it sounded complaining, but his voice was clearly relaxed.

The case has come to this point, and he has really lived to see him for a long time. I had seen enough of the drama during the first trial, but I didn't expect there to be a surprise the second time, and it was really a real surprise.

As a result, the pressure on the public and prosecutors to take huge risks before the trial has quietly shifted to the pressure of letting the case enter the trial procedure.

Wu Xun probably knew a little bit in advance, but Li Guo deliberately concealed it, he only knew that there was progress in the case, but he didn't know what progress was, and he was looking forward to finding new evidence before the second trial, or filing a retrial on the grounds of discovering new evidence after the verdict.

Therefore, Lan Gang complained about him, he silently accepted it, and apologized with a slight bow: "I'm sorry, pay attention next time." ”

At this time, Zheng Qijie, whose face was as earthy as he was just now, suddenly shouted: "It's all a trap, I don't admit it!" I don't admit it! Wrong, you are wrong! ”

Before he shouted, Ling Li's ears were only Chen Rong's sorrowful voice, immersed in her grief of sending the black-haired man to her.

Interrupted by Zheng Qijie's thoughts, Ling Li shifted his gaze, looked at the crazy person in the defendant's seat, and said coldly: "You want everyone to know that you did it, but everyone can't guess how you did it." Even if Tang Aoxue is found, there is no way to find DNA from the ashes to verify that she is her. You are so ruthless, you want not only her life, but also her dead and separated from her mother forever. ”

Zheng Qijie jumped up with red eyes: "Am I ruthless? And what about them? My mother and I have been separated for more than 20 years, who did the sin? Whose fault is it that she was mad and maimed to death? ”

"Who should you go to if you do the sin and who makes the mistake, you don't look for Li Zejun to find Tang Aoxue, it's just because the former is in a high position and has a lot of power, and he hugs him when he goes out, you can't find a chance to start! You think you are righteous, but in fact, you are just bullying the soft and afraid of the hard! Aren't you afraid of retribution? Ling Li also roared back, her usually crisp voice a little hoarse.

Her words stabbed Zheng Qijie almost jumped up, his eyes were about to split, it was the two bailiffs who stepped forward to hold him down, but even if he couldn't move, he kept scolding in his mouth, and the red eyes kept staring at Ling Li, his gaze was terrifying.

Ling Li first subconsciously leaned back, but the next second, she suddenly raised her hand and covered her neck.

That position corresponds to the place where Zheng Qijie subconsciously covered just now.

She raised her eyes to meet him, staring at him all the time, her eyes quiet and calm.

Zhu Jinchuan turned his head slightly, a little surprised why she was so strange all of a sudden, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Ling Li hung her head slightly, her long hair covered the lines of her side face, and her eyes focused on Zheng Qijie's face.

Her amber pupils shone with a strange brilliance, and the corners of her lips smiled slightly, but how to look at it, how weird.

Even Zheng Qijie felt that something was wrong.

In the next second, Ling Li opened her lips lightly, smiled, and whispered: "The time I bit you, does it hurt?" ”

After that, she raised her hand to wipe the corners of her mouth, and then brushed the hair that had just covered her face behind her ear, and smiled miserably.

Zheng Qijie quieted down suddenly, his eyes kept staring at Ling Li's face, and gradually, he began to gasp.

The face in front of me seems to be gradually overlapping with the hideous and deformed face due to dehydration in the photo just now.

Then the trial was a mess.

Ling Li imitated Tang Aoxue's movements on a whim, and actually made Zheng Qijie collapse to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and his hands and feet twitched.

It's ridiculous that he turned out to be a sheep epilepsy.

Zheng Qijie was rushed to the hospital, and in the absence of the defendant, the trial naturally could not continue, and the collegial panel had no choice but to announce a temporary adjournment.

The members of the collegial panel are all senior judges who are more than half a hundred years old, but they have never seen such a trial in their lives on the front line of trial.

Not only because the victim's lawyer, who played a supporting role in other cases, played a substantive role, but also because it was the first criminal case to be tried in court with the substantive standard of trial.

In front of everyone's eyes, the case has undergone such a big reversal, and this trial is destined to go down in history.

Lan had just announced the adjournment of the court, and the others slipped through the small door behind the judgment seat, eager to report to the dean about today's incident.

The auditorium was boiling, and all the reporters were looking forward to Ling Li being interviewed after he retired from the courtroom.

But she sat in silence, like a clay sculpture of wood, and there was no movement except blinking.

Also silent with her was Yu Wenzhong on the other side.

Wu Xun, Zhu Jinchuan, and Yu Wenzhong's assistants were still checking the transcripts, and some impatient reporters tried to break through the auditorium and enter the trial area, but they were also stopped by the bailiffs.

Ten minutes later, the signature was completed.

During this period, the reporters gradually dispersed, some went to interview Chen Rong, and some veterans who were familiar with the routine, understanding that the lawyer would never say much at this time, so he simply left.

However, there are still five or six media outlets that refuse to leave, hoping that they will leave the trial area and get first-hand information as soon as possible.

After the assistant prosecutor finished cleaning up the file, Wu Xun stood up, turned slightly sideways, and whispered in the direction of Zhu Jinchuan and Ling Li, "Do you want to be together?" Our car was in the underground parking lot. ”

Zhu Jinchuan bowed his head slightly in response to him, glanced at Ling Li, who was stunned, and realized that he couldn't stay with her any longer.

Today he only said a few words that were not so critical, and the rest was handed over to Ling Li.

This will be a significant stroke in Ling Li's career, he just needs to sit quietly next to her, watch her transform, watch her become a butterfly, it is enough.

However, this does not include watching her embarrassed and embarrassed by being surrounded by reporters.

So he pushed her and said, "If you don't follow the armed prosecutor through the defendant's passage, are you afraid of being entangled by reporters?" ”

Ling Li finally came back to her senses, followed Zhu Jinchuan reluctantly, and left the courtroom.

Relying on the procuratorate's car to escape the encirclement and interception, Zhu Jinchuan took Ling Li back to the car.

She sat silently in the driver's seat, her whole person seemed to have been drained of all her energy, and her pale eyes seemed to have lost their luster.

After starting the engine and driving some distance to the east of the city, Zhu Jinchuan saw her eyes that she wanted to close but didn't dare to close as the vehicle swayed, and sighed softly: "If you are sleepy, sleep for a while, and I will call you again when I get home." ”

Ling Li slept for a while, and when she got home, it was already evening.

Zhu Jinchuan was not at ease, sent her downstairs, and instructed her before leaving: "Have a good rest, go to work if you want to go to work tomorrow, if you don't want to go to work, just call me to ask for leave." ”

Ling Li nodded woodenly and turned to go upstairs.
