January 17, 2016 corresponds to the eighth day of the lunar month in 2015, at 8:29 in the morning, the conference hall on the 9th floor of the office building of the Dongchen Public Security Bureau was unusually quiet, and the rustle of snow outside the window reached the conference room. The largest conference room of the city's public security bureau was filled with about 100 people waiting for a meeting.

The atmosphere in the venue was solemn, and although it seemed quiet, it sounded a little noisy.

There was a man pacing slowly, only he was making noise, and the sound of his pacing and the rustling of snow were mixed together, which was very incongruous and uneasy for the people waiting for the meeting in the conference room.

What is the content of the meeting? What is the nature of the conference? …… Most of the people in the meeting were quietly speculating.

This restless person is Qian Feng, director of the Dongchen City Public Security Bureau, his well-proportioned figure and white shirt are particularly conspicuous, and he is about to retire in more than a year, but his upward mental state, bright eyes and flat hairstyle have created the appearance of a young man in his thirties, maybe he is not a "mess" person.

According to common sense, as a veteran policeman who has been on the battlefield for a long time and has handled countless police, he shouldn't be so restless, let alone in a venue with so many people?

Qian Feng is not calm for a reason, there is something like "Mount Tai pressing the top" in his heart, which makes him unable to calm down.

In the past two days, the 110 police center of the Municipal Public Security Bureau has received several strange reports, and the preliminary investigation and judgment after the police have been dispatched may involve human lives, or it may be a homicide involving multiple lives!

In our country, murder cases are all big cases, and there is a rule that "murder cases must be solved"! This made Director Qian Feng very uneasy.

Due to the seriousness of the case, the superiors demanded that it not cause panic, and that the scope of knowledge be kept secret for the time being until the situation was clarified, so most of the people waiting for the meeting in the conference room did not know the facts of the case.

It is very strange that there are no investigation clues in these reports, and the case-handling personnel cannot sort out the clues for a while, and they have no way to start. Director Qian Feng is very worried that if their preliminary research and judgment is true and true, the consequences will be unimaginable, and this case may cause panic among the citizens, not only affecting the citizens for the New Year, but also may become domestic and international news after the New Year.

On the seventh day of the lunar month, Dongchen City launched the "Spring Festival Safety Investigation" action, because to investigate the underground pipe network, workers from water, electricity, gas, communication and other pipe network systems formed a joint investigation team to investigate the underground pipe network one by one. During the investigation, they found 24 bags containing suspected body parts in six different manholes at the junction of urban and rural areas of the city, and the workers called the police.

Yesterday, the Municipal Public Security Bureau reported the situation to Gong Shenglong, mayor of Dongchen City, and Sima Nan, director of the Provincial Public Security Department, because it could not be verified for the time being, and the Provincial Public Security Department did not report to the Ministry of Public Security for the time being, but the mayor and the leaders of the Public Security Department both asked to find out whether it was a homicide within 24 hours (as of 8 o'clock in the evening of the eighth day of the first lunar month) and report it. This is the reason why Qian Feng is restless.

A few minutes before the meeting began, Yao Zhenhua looked at the table cards on the table in the conference room, and found that there were two table cards of the leaders of the Provincial Public Security Department, one was Fang Jian, the deputy chief of the Criminal Police Corps of the Provincial Department, and the other was the assistant Cui Mingda, but neither of them was seated, and he didn't know the case at all, so he thought that this meeting was a little unusual.

After receiving the order (to find out the facts of the case within 24 hours) on the evening of the seventh day of the first lunar month, the municipal bureau issued a notice to all sub-bureaus and county bureaus overnight, informing them that the meeting would start at 8:30 a.m. on the eighth day of the lunar month (January 17, 2016), and requesting the directors of all sub-bureaus, county bureaus, and criminal investigation teams to attend the meeting.

Qian Feng looked at his watch, scanned the venue again, stayed in the last row, and asked, "Xiao Wang, can the projector and microphone be used?" ”

"Yes, Director." Wang Ming, a member of the logistics technology section, replied seriously.

At 8:29, under the guidance of Wang Yaoming, deputy director of the Municipal Bureau, the leaders of the provincial department arrived at the venue, and the two sat down after shaking hands with Director Qian Feng.

Qian Feng did not go through the basic procedures, but went straight to the point.

He said: "Comrades, today, under the guidance of the leaders of the provincial department, the city bureau held an emergency meeting, and the theme of the meeting was only one: to study and judge the case of throwing corpses. "Meeting Discipline: All contents of the meeting are confidential."

First of all, Mi Baoyang, the head of the Municipal Criminal Investigation Detachment, informed everyone of the case, and then everyone discussed and judged in groups. Compliments, let's get started. ”

"Okay." After Mi Baoyang replied, he pressed the laser pointer again and said: "Xiao Wang, please play the case video and picture materials, comrades, please look at the big screen." ”

Xiao Wang played 6 locations of ABCDEF and videos and pictures corresponding to 24 bags in turn, and found nothing except the same black bags and corpse parts without any signs.

Mi Baoyang explained again: "There is no information about the body parts, and the 24 bags are all exactly the same black color and have no markings. ”

Mi Baoyang pointed to the photo on the screen with a laser pointer and said: "These 6 places have found 4 black bags containing corpse parts, which are very consistent with 4 identical bags, a total of 24 bags, the bags are all very ordinary black, no logo, no number, and no manufacturer information." According to the judgment of forensic doctors and technicians, the body parts in each place may belong to only one person, and because the DNA identification report has not yet been released, it cannot be determined that it belongs to one person. However, it is speculated that the corpses of 6 people should belong to each person, because the forensic doctor spliced together the corpse pieces in each place, and probably put together a corpse, but it was incomplete.

There are 6 heads, torsos and limbs are more or less mutilated, 5 bodies can be determined to be female, and one is not identified for the time being, but it is suspected that they are also female. Judging by the characteristics of the bodies, the six deceased were between 18 and 35 years old. All the bags contained only body parts and nothing else, so the identity of the deceased could not be ascertained for the time being. ”

Qian Feng interjected: "Let me explain this question." Because the facts of the case have not yet been ascertained, it is not possible to characterize the case for the time being, and because it is worried that it will cause panic among the citizens, the investigation has not openly relied on the masses for the time being, and it is basically in the stage of internal and point-point investigation, and the workers who reported the case have also made confidentiality requirements. For the time being, this case cannot be investigated publicly, nor can the facts of the case be made public, everyone understands, right? ”

"Understood." The participants all replied.

Mi Baoyang continued: "Because most of the corpse parts have traces of being boiled, coupled with the special environment of winter and manholes, the judgment of the time of death of the corpse is not too specific, and the approximate time of death of the six deceased is within three months, of course, far and near. ”

"That's all the material we have now, over."

Qian Feng said, "Okay." Let me address a few of the questions that arise from the above situation:

the nature of the case, whether it is a homicide;

It is necessary to find out the nature of the investigation before 8 o'clock tonight, but also not to arouse panic among the citizens, so the investigation cannot be carried out in a loud and secret manner, because the time is tight and the task is heavy, and most of the effective investigation methods that can be used cannot be used, and we must complete the task today in the midst of such contradictions.

If the case is a homicide case, issues such as the investigation method, direction, and scope should be determined;

So far, the city and surrounding cities and counties have not received any reports of missing women of the relevant age group in the past four months, which is a question worth considering, why there are no related missing reports? ”

"There may still be problems that have not been refined, and I will summarize them in combination with the analysis and discussion of the meeting.

Based on the information and physical evidence available in this case, I personally judge that this is a criminal case, and the perpetrator is extremely vicious and inhumane, and it is very likely that he will continue to commit the crime. ”

Qian Feng quickly took a sip of tea and said: "There are three reasons why I made the above judgment, the first is that the places where the bodies were dumped are all at the junction of urban and rural areas, and there is no surveillance camera equipment nearby, which shows that the perpetrator has a sense of anti-investigation; The second is that China's laws, regulations and other provisions on the management of corpses are quite strict, and there are also funeral customs and factors, 6 corpses can be obtained within three months, no one can do it, and the preliminary inspection of the medical colleges, crematoriums, and morgues in the city and nearby cities, districts, and counties, there is no record of losing or transferring out similar corpses, proving that the source of the corpse is most likely due to the unnatural death of the deceased, and the cause of death of the deceased is most likely homicide; The third is that the deceased was dismembered, the body parts were abandoned in a hidden place, and most of the body pieces had the characteristics of being cooked, and the perpetrator's intentionality and purpose were obvious. ”

"Comrades, I hope that you have different ideas and ideas than me, or if you have questions, you should actively speak up and work together to promote the rapid investigation of the case." After Qian Feng finished speaking, he glanced at the venue with his eyes.

The venue was silent, not because everyone didn't want to say it, but because they all knew that the people attending the meeting were experts in the criminal investigation system, and Director Qian's research and judgment were basically consistent with his own speculation, and there was no physical evidence, files and other materials in his hands, only the on-site videos and photos that had just been played.

The directors who participated in the meeting were stable, and the captains did not dare to bubble up before the leaders. After waiting for more than ten seconds, the venue was still silent.

"Money Bureau, I agree with your judgment." Fang Jian, as the head of the criminal investigation team, spoke in advance, perhaps to resolve the embarrassing atmosphere at the venue, or maybe he was really anxious, and he was only 11 hours away from reporting to the leader.

"You agree with me?" Qian Feng asked.

"Comrades who agree with me, please raise your hand."

Everyone in the room raised their hands.

"Even raising your hand can't solve the problem, we have to talk about evidence in handling the case, can I report the conclusion of speculation and judgment?" Qian Feng was a little angry, at this time he needed someone to give him a key, a key that could open a breakthrough in the case, even if it was only one person, but no.

"Since everyone thinks it is a homicide, we will not discuss the nature of the case for the time being. Next, we will discuss in groups, with the two leaders of the provincial department and the comrades of the municipal bureau as a group, and the comrades of the district and county as a group, to discuss how to investigate the nature of the case, the specific ideas, the feasible ways and means within 11 hours, and also pay attention to not causing panic among the citizens during the investigation process. Discuss for ten minutes, let's go! ”

After Qian Feng finished speaking, he quickly took a sip of tea and immediately started talking with Fang Jian.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yao Zhenhua said hello to Zheng Yi to go to the toilet and went out.

In fact, he called under the guise of going to the toilet, and made a total of three calls at a rapid pace.

The first call was to his mother Li Sufen, because he had not lived at home for more than a month because he had been working at the Shibali Police Station, and told his mother that he had come back to work, and asked his mother to prepare and live at home in the future.

The second call was to Shangguan Coco, not that he wanted to find Shangguan Coco, but that he wanted to arrange a job for his intern classmate Youhua, because he didn't have her phone number, so he called Shangguan Coco.

Shangguan Keke received a call and learned that he was not looking for himself, although he restrained his little excitement, but his heart was still happy.

Yao Zhenhua told Youhua on the phone that Liu Yan, a police officer from the Eighteen-Mile Police Station, came to pick her up in the afternoon, and asked them to take the two assistant police officers to the squatting point together, waiting for the rabbit, and also to find Shangguan Coco to ask for the "police eight-piece suit", the police force contact book and Liu Yan's phone number.

The third call was to Liu Yan, asking him to go to the criminal police team in the afternoon to find Shangguan Keke to pick up an intern classmate, and go back to Shibali Town after dinner to squat together, and take the assistant police "Big Niu, Er Niu". In the end, Liu Yan was instructed to "contact first if there is a situation, and then arrest when reinforcements arrive."

After the phone call was over, six minutes later, Yao Zhenhua hurried back to the conference room and was just about to sit down.

"Yao Zhenhua! In a moment, you will speak on behalf of your group, and I hope you will tell me what your group has discussed! Because there was a lot of talk, Qian Feng's voice was louder, and he immediately suppressed all the noisy sounds, and the venue was quiet all of a sudden, staring at Yao Zhenhua and Qian Feng, they all thought that Yao Zhenhua had hit a "nail" today.

The leader is angry, and the consequences are serious!

Zheng Yi patted Yao Zhenhua's leg and did not speak. He knew Yao Zhenhua and knew that he must have something to do. He is not worried about Yao Zhenhua's professional ability, but is worried that he has just returned to work, whether he is really in a better mood, whether he can concentrate on analyzing and judging the case, and whether the team can talk about effective and feasible plans.......

"Continue the discussion for three minutes." After Qian Feng finished speaking, the venue immediately ended quiet, and the conversation began to be lively again.

was named by the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau in public, and ordinary people would think that "the leader is very angry, and the consequences are very serious", but Yao Zhenhua not only did not feel like this, but his whole body was like electricity, and the nervous system was mobilized, as if the second pulse of Ren and Du was opened in an instant, and everything could run for a long time, especially the mind, some of which had been sublimated.

Since the death of his wife and daughter in a traffic accident, the whole person is in a state of meaningless life and lovelessness, especially in the days after hearing the bad news, his eyes are dim in everything, even the sun is yellow, his body has no mind, and life is better than death.

Later, the leader of the sub-bureau couldn't bear to see him so painful, and felt that he couldn't work normally, so he asked him to go to the Shibali Police Station as an instructor, in fact, to let him change the environment, relax, and relax, hoping that he could get out of the trough of life as soon as possible.

Yao Zhenhua was woken up, instantly concentrated, and the whole person got into the corpse case, and went to study and judge the case in person. So much so that what happened at the venue, he couldn't hear it in his ears or see it in his eyes at all.

After the two groups discussed, they both came up with emergency plans, and Qian Feng felt uncomfortable with his head in his hands.

This is because the conclusions given by the two groups are almost the same in terms of both the facts of the case analyzed and the plan of investigation. Hey, it seems that the hero sees something the same thing.

The conclusion of the two groups of discussions is along the lines of this:

The nature of the case can basically be determined to be a homicide.

Investigation ideas within 11 hours: first, through the monitoring near the scene of the dumping of the corpse, the person who dumped the corpse may be found, and then the perpetrator may be arrested; Second, pay close attention to the detection of physical evidence, try to extract fingerprints or biological samples from the body bag, and then compare them; Third, mobilize the grid police to investigate possible places and then investigate the missing persons; Fourth, the surveillance video of all public transportation vehicles from the six rock-throwing sites to the urban area was retrieved within three months, and the image was retrieved for the person carrying the black plastic bag; Fifth, let the forensic doctor find out the cause of death as soon as possible, the type of tool for dismemberment, etc.

After Qian Feng read it, he was extremely disappointed and hugged his head in pain. There are two problems with the methods given by the two groups to find out the nature: first, the implementation cycle is too long; Second, it is easy to cause panic among the public. On the opposite side of the contradiction, on the one hand, it is necessary to find out the nature of the case in a short period of time, and on the other hand, it is necessary to investigate only on a small scale and secretly, which is indeed an impossible task.
