Chapter Seventy-Nine: Flax Painting Corpses
Hearing this, Chen Side snorted coldly and said disappreciably: "Will I lose my official position because of him?" ”
"Yes, as long as you kill Zhao resolutely today, then I dare to say that your official position will be lost!" Chu Mufeng said categorically.
"You're scaring me?" Chen Side's expression sank.
"No, no, Director Chen, I didn't mean to scare you, I just told the truth."
"Think about how many people are staring down your butt and wishing something was wrong with you so they could replace you."
"If nothing else, let's just say that now, how many people are silently paying attention to this execution ground, and they are all waiting for you to shoot because of your willfulness."
Speaking of this, Chu Mufeng pointed to the Hanyang Dao: "As long as your gunshots go off, I dare to say that the complaint against you will be handed to Director Yan's desk in a blink of an eye, and when the time comes, what will Director Yan do?" ”
"Maybe Director Yan will protect you, but do you think this kind of protection can be done without paying some price?"
"You didn't have enough evidence to kill Zhao Yiran without trial, what kind of behavior is this, it is obviously lawlessness and bending the law for personal gain."
"What is it that you did impulsively without a court verdict or even a full investigation?" Chu Mufeng said in a heartfelt manner.
"Yes, maybe you will say that there is a reason for this, because Chen Jianbin was killed and angry, but for such a reason, are others willing to listen?"
"The reason that is rightful for you is also a rightful handle for others is a crime that no one can refute, and even use the newspaper to hype it up, confuse the public, and stir up public anger!"
"So, Director Chen, is it worth it just to vent his anger and take advantage of his future? Have you considered Director Yan's feelings in doing so? ”
Chu Mufeng didn't take Zhao Yiran seriously from beginning to end, and all he said was the gains and losses of Chen Side's move.
Listening to his words, Zhao Side's face changed uncertainly, and finally sighed.
"Yes, Captain Chu, you're right, I was really impulsive this time, but I'm really angry! You must know that Chen Jianbin is not only my nephew, but also the inspector of the Immortal Branch. ”
"Tell me, the dignified inspector died in the warehouse of the substation, can I not be angry?" Thinking of his charred nephew, Chen Side was furious.
"Emotionally speaking, when I encounter this kind of thing, I will be angry if it is me, and if my people die so unclear, I can't wait to arrest all the suspects."
"But rationally speaking, Director Chen, as police officers, we really can't act on our will, everything is based on real evidence, we can't kill a good person by mistake, and we can't let a bad person go, otherwise wouldn't we let the real murderer go unpunished?" Chu Mufeng's words were earnest.
"Are you so sure that he Zhao Yiran is not a murderer?" Chen Side's gaze swept to the figure who was tied up by five flowers.
"To be honest, I'm not sure!"
Chu Mufeng didn't take care of everything, but said calmly: "Director Chen, I came here to investigate the truth of this case, if Zhao Yiran is really a murderer, murder pays for life, and he should be shot!" ”
"If he is not the murderer, we will dig into the bottom of the matter and dig up the real murderer and bring him to justice, what do you say?"
"Section Chief Chu, you are now a famous detective in the Security Department, okay, I will believe you once, this case can be handed over to you for investigation." Chen Side nodded
"Then thank Director Chen for saving face." Chu Mufeng arched his hand.
"Wait, I still have one condition!"
"Please!"
Chen Side raised a finger and said, "You must give me a result within a week." In addition, since you came to intercede for him Zhao Yiran, you must prove that this matter has nothing to do with him, otherwise he will not want to excuse him! ”
"Prove that he has nothing to do with it? It's easy to do! Chu Mufeng smiled slightly and said quite confidently.
"How do you prove it?" Chen Side was a little unconvinced.
"Director Chen, please move and take a look at the logistics warehouse of your sub-bureau!" Chu Mufeng pointed to the police lane parked not far away.
"Take him with you." Chen Side explained.
Fairy Trail Branch, Logistics Warehouse.
A group of officers from the Wizard of Wonderland were whispering.
At this time, they all knew Chu Mufeng's identity, so this kind of discussion naturally revolved around him.
"This kid is the detective of our security department, he looks young, can he solve this case?"
"Isn't it obvious to break something? It's not that you don't know that Chen Jianbin's people have been burned. ”
"That's it, it's clear that Zhao Yiran did it, and he confessed everything as soon as he was on the criminal bail, what else is there to check, what kind of effort is it to go to!"
"But then again, if you investigate the case, you will investigate the case, why did we bring so much firewood and straw?"
"I don't know, so it's mysterious!"
……
Although the previous warehouse was not magnificent, it was neat and uniform.
But now? It was a complete set of ruined walls, the cracked walls were covered with black ash, and everything in the storeroom was burned to ashes, and the floor was in a mess.
"Director Chen, in fact, I just wanted to ask, how did you judge that it was Chen Jianbin who was burned to death? As far as I know, the corpse was completely charred and not humanoid! Standing in front of the ruins, Chu Mufeng asked sideways.
This is an important question because there was no DNA identification technology or skull reconstruction technology in this era.
If it is said that the person who was burned to death was not Chen Jianbin, but someone else, although Chen Side said that he would also be angry, he would definitely not be so impulsive, this is human nature.
"Captain Chu, although the corpse was burned indecently and couldn't distinguish its appearance, there were some things that couldn't be burned after all." Chen Side said and took out a charred badge from his pocket.
"This is the badge that our branch issued to Chen Jianbin at the beginning, each badge has the name number of the owner, others can be faked, can this be faked?"
"What's more, when fighting the fire, someone once saw that the person in the fire was Chen Jianbin, and he was already burned by the fire at that time."
Oh, I see.
That said, it doesn't seem like a problem.
If it can be determined that the deceased is Chen Jianbin, it will also save a lot of unnecessary trouble.
"I'm tired of you putting all the straw down."
Under Chu Mufeng's greeting, bundles of straw were stacked on the ground, and after seeing that it was about the same, Chu Mufeng stepped forward and took out a match and directly lit the straw.
This move made Chen Side and the others look at it at a loss.
"What do you think he wants to do when he burns straw?"
"Don't ask me, I don't know."
"Hmph, it's still a detective, I think it's deliberately pretending to be a ghost!"
……
Regarding everyone's whispers, Chu Mufeng didn't mean to explain much at all.
It wasn't until the fire burned out that he stepped forward, flying the dust in all directions.
"Director Chen, where did you find Chen Jianbin's body in the warehouse?" Chu Mufeng turned his head and asked.
"It should be right at your feet!" Chen Side took two steps forward and looked at the next round.
"Good!"
Chu Mufeng nodded, squatted down, waved his hand, and blew the grass ash on the ground hard, only to see that a trace of a corpse appeared strangely on the ground.
"What is this?"
Chen Side approached and asked in a tight voice, "Is this ......?"
"That's right, this is the trace left by Chen Jianbin's body after he was burned to death."
While looking at it, Chu Mufeng said slowly: "Song Ci, a forensic scientist in the Song Dynasty, once had a forensic monograph called "Collection of Grievances", which mentioned that he used the method of painting corpses with flax to determine the cause of death of corpses. ”
"The book says that when the human body is burned by flames, the grease naturally seeps to the ground. If you grill it over the fire, the grease will come out and stick to the soot, and the shape of the deceased's body before it was burned will appear. ”
"If the deceased was burned to death in a conscious state, then he would definitely struggle, this is also a normal reaction, if he struggled and twisted, the spilled grease would definitely not turn into a human form."
"If the deceased had been killed prematurely or had been burned after being stunned, then it would not have been possible to say that the grease was scattered in all directions, because the deceased would not move. In this way, the spilled grease can form a complete human form, which is called a flax painted corpse. ”
After finishing speaking, after giving everyone a little time to react and think, Chu Mufeng continued to raise his hand and point to the ground.
"Director Chen, you see, this corpse is in very good shape, and it is naturally formed by the spilled oil. What does it mean? It shows that when Chen Jianbin was burned to death, he was either unconscious or already dead. ”
"No matter what it is, it should have nothing to do with Zhao Yiran. Because if he did it, Chen Jianbin would definitely not be obedient, and he would definitely struggle to resist. ”
Hearing this, Chen Side couldn't help but ask: "Section Chief Chu, how can you be sure that it wasn't Chen Jianbin who was knocked unconscious by Zhao Yiran after coming to the warehouse?" If this is the case, Chen Jianbin will also be unconscious and burned to death! ”
"Good question!"
Chu Mufeng clapped his hands and said bluntly: "Director Chen, there is a matter of time and alibi at stake. ”
"As far as I know, when the fire broke out in the warehouse, Zhao Yiran was not here, but ate in a restaurant outside, and many people can testify to this, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Director Chen, I was having dinner in the Eight Immortals Building opposite the substation. Zhao Yiran, who was not far away, hurriedly shouted after hearing it.
"Let's ask, Zhao Yiran was not on duty at the time of the incident, how could he beat Chen Jianbin unconscious, and then set fire to destroy the corpse? Unless he has a doppelganger! Chu Mufeng said unhurriedly.
"This ......," Chen Side couldn't help but groan.
That seems to be the case.
After he learned about this situation, he didn't think much about it, thinking that since Zhao Yiran was in charge of the logistics warehouse, he would definitely not be able to escape if there was a fire here.
When it was on fire, Chen Jianbin happened to be burned to death inside, so the murderer must be Zhao Yiran
Now after Chu Mufeng said this, think about it carefully, maybe someone framed him!
Talking about strict discipline, daring to fight and fighting, Chen Side is definitely a good man, but when it comes to solving cases, Chen Side, the boss, is really not very coarse!
