At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Hu'an County Public Security Criminal Investigation Brigade reported that Cai Pengcheng's body was found in the Liufeng Mountain stream.

At 5:20, Su Ping arrived at the scene with Qi Yuan, Yan Zhongxin, Lao Wei and other cadres.

Cai Pengcheng's corpse has turned into a corrupt giant, and Yan Zhongxin put on protective clothing before carefully moving over to carry out the corpse examination.

The body of the giant is full of gas, and the air pressure in different parts is not the same, plus the sun has been basking in the sun for a day, there is a risk of explosion, and the corrupt gas inside is highly toxic, Yan Zhongxin also has to be careful and careful.

After a long time, Yan Zhongxin walked back, exhaled a long breath, and said: "In the eyes of the corpse, part of the body is missing, and it is preliminarily judged that it should be pecked by carnivorous and carrivorous fish, and the limbs of the corpse have tooth marks, which are judged to be eaten by canines and rodents." ”

Su Ping nodded lightly, and then asked, "What about the cause of death and the time of death?" ”

"The cause of death is most likely drowning." Yan Zhongxin said: "The corpse dislocated the knee joint of the left leg, the tibia can be palpable and fractured, there are multiple abrasions on the body surface, and high fall injuries can be seen on the back and feet.

As for the time of death...... It's not easy to judge now, and the preliminary speculation should be more than four or five days, otherwise there will be no view of corrupt giants, and there will not be enough time.

I did a simple putrefaction gas emission treatment on the corpse, so that the swollen face slightly returned to its original state, and after comparing it with the ID card found on the deceased's body again, it was determined that Cai Pengcheng was right, but what the final result was, I still have to verify the fingerprints to judge. ”

Su Ping bowed his head slightly, said that he had worked hard, and then asked, "Do you think he killed or was it an accident?" ”

"It's hard to say." Yan Zhongxin shook his head and said: "There are no unarmed injuries caused by the struggle on the deceased's body, although there are a few scratches on the arm, but the scars are all left by him a few days before he died...... In short, there is no way to judge now, and the nature of death can only be judged after determining the location of his fall. ”

After a pause, he added: "Anyway, at present, it is possible for him to kill, commit suicide and accidentally fall, but considering that he came to this mountain for no reason...... Personally, I don't think it's very likely to fall accidentally. ”

Su Ping thought thoughtfully, thought for a few seconds, and then asked, "You just said...... Were there several scratches on the deceased's body? ”

"Yes." Yan Zhongxin nodded slightly, thought about it, and added:

"From this point of view, he is indeed likely to be the perpetrator of the Anhe Village murder case - the deceased in the case was found to have residual dandruff tissue in the fingernails, and the murderer did not subconsciously clean it up, but unfortunately too much time has passed, and the DNA extraction work is very difficult, and it is still trying, if it can be verified......"

"That," At this time, Lao Wei came over, interrupted Yan Zhongxin's words, and said to Su Ping: "Team Su, I can basically be sure that it is him." ”

"Oh?"

"The deceased is still wearing a shoe, I compared it, the pattern can match, the height is also matched, Cai Pengcheng is still a typical low arch, and the leg muscles are relatively developed and symmetrical, and the visual body fat rate is also very low, most likely he is a long-distance running enthusiast, these clues can correspond."

Su Ping showed a thoughtful expression again, then looked left and right, and wondered: "In this way, there is a high probability that this Cai Pengcheng is the murderer...... How did he end up dying here? Is there something else hidden in this case, he was killed by the culprit behind the scenes, or was he simply self-killed? If it's suicide, what are you doing running so far? ”

At this moment, Qi Yuan trotted over, ran to Su Ping's side, and said, "Team Su, Brother Song just found out about one thing - opposite Liufeng Mountain, there is a cemetery in the shade of He Cui Mountain, where the ashes of Cai Pengcheng's wife Lu Qing are buried. ”

Su Ping raised his eyebrows: "He Cuishan Cemetery?" ”

Yan Zhongxin looked sideways: "Have you heard?" It's strange, you don't even know about Liufeng Mountain, but you've heard of He Cuishan. ”

"My cousin is also buried there, I heard a few words from my cousin-in-law, and I have a little impression, but I haven't been here." Su Ping pouted.

Qi Yuan continued: "Team Su, I don't understand, this place is quite far from the city, why did you buy the cemetery here?" Isn't it troublesome to worship like this? ”

"Most of the cemeteries are in the suburbs." Su Ping said lightly: "This cemetery is not too far away. Besides, worship or something, only a few times a year? Tens of kilometers is too far, what if you move to another city for job transfer or something? ”

"Don't be so angry, it's normal for young people not to know this." Yan Zhongxin said, then looked at Qi Yuan and said:

"Xiao Qi, cemetery or something, distance is indeed a dimension that needs to be considered, but it is not a key factor, they still consider more things like feng shui, price, environment and management.

Feng Shui may be a bit mysterious, but like the price, management is real, the price is too expensive for the average family can not bear, management is the key, because it is estimated that there will be one or two worships throughout the year, to manage the weeds and garbage everywhere, what do you let the worshippers think, right? ”

Qi Yuan understood and bowed his head slightly.

At this time, Su Ping frowned again and said, "If the cemetery of his deceased wife is near here, it would be easier to explain...... Could it be that it was really suicide? Murder, suicide, what is the deep hatred between him and his father-in-law and mother-in-law's family? ”

Yan Zhongxin shook his head and said, "If you find out this step, I'm afraid the truth is not far away, this case is not as complicated as we imagined." ”

"Don't you rush to a conclusion, right?" Lao Wei said: "It's better to find the place where he fell or the point where he fell into the water, what if he was pushed down?" It's hard to say, right? ”

After a pause, he added: "If there are still people behind the scenes, we may have to change our thinking." If Cai Pengcheng has a grudge against his father-in-law and mother-in-law, it is reasonable to say that the methods are cruel, but what about the people behind the scenes? What motives does he have? ”

After speaking, he asked himself again: "Change your thinking, ponder and ponder, who is most beneficial to Lu Zhaoshan's family when he dies, or who can profit, who will naturally have the motive to say, such as his brother?" Two million inheritance and a house ......"

"Come on!" Su Ping rolled his eyes: "The reasoning is not indiscriminate, whether there are accomplices or something is still uncertain, are you in a hurry to find out the accomplices?" Not to mention anything else, does Cai Pengcheng need an accomplice? What can the accomplices do for him? And so far, all clues show that the murderer committed the crime alone. ”

"Freezer." Old Wei shrugged.

"That," Qi Yuan said: "Brother Song also found out, Cai Pengcheng is engaged in ice cream wholesale, rented a cold storage, sixty square meters, business is good, it is definitely enough to hide a few corpses." ”

Old Wei choked.

Qi Yuan continued: "In addition, Cai Pengcheng was originally an electrician, worked for many years, and had a certificate, but after marrying Lu Qing, he borrowed a sum of money from his family and changed his career to ice cream wholesale. And, just early last month, he bought a small walk-behind cutter. ”

Old Wei raised his head and whistled.

"Look, Cai Pengcheng has everything from murder weapon making, to cold storage, to dismemberment tools, there is no need to ask others for help." Su Ping said lightly: "He doesn't need an accomplice at all, the things you just analyzed are meaningless." ”

"Ahem." Lao Wei couldn't help coughing dryly twice, and said, "Isn't this a morning to show your skills, suddenly your hands are a little itchy, just say it when you think of an idea." ”

"Come on." Yan Zhongxin also rolled his eyes and said: "Let's do our own thing, don't mix blindly in the field you are not good at, pretend to be fucked instead of being forced, it's a shame." ”

Old Wei coughed dryly again.

Then the work continued, it was not far from the county seat, so Yan Zhongxin pulled the body to the county bureau, and carried out a detailed autopsy in the forensic department of the county bureau to determine the time of death, while the rest of the police force went upstream along the stream to find Cai Pengcheng's fall.

Not to mention, this stream is quite deep and wide, plus a few rains on the mountain a few days ago, the water flow is not small, it is indeed enough to wash the corpse all the way down, but at the foot of the mountain, the water flow is much slower, the stream is much wider but also much shallower, and the corpse is "stranded".

Liufeng Mountain covers a large area, the mountain road is not easy to walk, and this stream has not been developed, there are many craggy strange rocks scattered on both sides, the stone surface is covered with moss, wet and slippery, the criminal police are cautious when walking, for fear of slipping and falling.

If you have to fall, you may have to eat out your front teeth, and if you are unlucky, you will catch up with an inch, and it is not surprising that you will break your bones.

After walking forward with difficulty for a long time, Su Ping suddenly frowned and stopped.

Qi Yuan followed, and instinctively looked up, and saw a small cliff, and the stream flowed down from the cliff, forming a small waterfall.

The drop is not big, about seven meters, the cliff is not completely steep, the slope should be around sixty or seventy degrees, and there are many boulders poking out.

Below is a deep tan, due to the effect of the splash produced by the waterfall washing, I can't see the bottom, I can't judge how deep it is, but it is estimated that it should be two or three meters.

After a while, Su Ping frowned and said, "I forgot to ask Lao Yan just now, is the high fall injury found on the corpse table a pre-mortem injury or a postmortem injury...... No, it should be a prenatal injury, but I don't know if it is mixed with postmortem injury. ”

"What's wrong?" Lao Wei asked.

Then he quickly reacted, oh, and said, "yes, the corpse falling from this waterfall will definitely form a high fall."

If it is determined that the deceased's body fell from a high level of injury before death, it means that his body did not fall from a high place after his death, and it is impossible for the place where he fell into the water to be in front of this waterfall, either here, or we have ignored something along the way, and we have to go back to find it.

But if there is a high fall wound on his body, then it will be troublesome, this is not the end, we have to continue to look for it. ”

Su Ping glanced at him and nodded: "That's pretty much it." ”

Lao Wei smiled, and then saw the calm appearance of the people around him, and couldn't help but understand, it seems that only he has to think about it to understand this truth, and everyone else understands it in seconds......

Well, explain it to yourself.

He forcibly suppressed some of his active heart, so as not to be embarrassed again.

Qi Yuan took out his mobile phone and shook his head: "Team Su, there is no signal." ”

Su Ping glanced at him, took out the walkie-talkie and handed it to him.

"That ......" Qi Yuan said embarrassedly: "We are in the mountains, there is no repeater, and the walkie-talkie can't be transmitted too far, so we can't ...... contact."

"Won't you contact the police car?" Su Ping rolled his eyes: "At best, we walked two kilometers, and it was still possible to contact the police car, and there were brothers guarding over there." ”

"Oh." Qi Yuan hurriedly did so.

After a while, several people heard the reply, and many of the abrasions on the body of the deceased were postmortem injuries, but several high fall injuries and fractures, all of which were pre-mortem injuries without exception.

In other words, they have found the end.

Hearing this news, several people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, if this is not the end, if you have to continue to look down, then you really don't know when to find it. Now it's okay, the range is roughly determined, the distance between left and right is only one or two kilometers, and the intensity of work is not too great.

At this time, Qi Yuan wondered again: "Strange, this water is also turbulent, one or two kilometers away, can it be used to float for so long?" Could it be that somewhere, the body was hung during the period? Or has it been stranded for a long time? ”

"Haven't you already told the answer?" Su Ping pouted: "The place where the body was found is also inaccessible, and the forest park is not open to that side, so it is normal that it has not been found until now." ”

Qi Yuan sighed.

Then he squinted, looked up, and said, "Wait...... Team Su, those rocks on the cliff are not quite right, are there still pieces of clothing hanging on them? ”

"Huh?" Su Ping raised his head, squinted his eyes as well, adjusted his eyesight slightly, and then looked at Lao Wei.

Lao Wei had already quietly touched the bottom of the cliff and studied it carefully.

After thinking about it, Su Ping asked people to take out the climbing rope and the like, but quickly frowned again, the climbing rope didn't seem to play any role at this time, and they had not received training in rock climbing.

At the same time, Lao Wei took out the camera, used the optical zoom function of the lens, took a few photos of the cliff, and then said: "Basically, you can't go wrong, this cliff does have some traces of heavy falling in recent times, and the small piece hanging on the corpse is also the clothes worn by Cai Pengcheng." ”

Su Ping snorted and asked, "Go up and have a look?" ”

"I think I can walk around and take a look." Lao Wei thought for a while and said: "I can't use the climbing rope for the time being, and what needs to be surveyed is the area where he fell above. ”

"I'll climb up first." Qi Yuan thought for a moment and said, "If you go around, you may have to go far...... I've been practicing freehand climbing for a while, and there's nothing wrong with that, I'll go up and nail the rivets first, and then you can climb up with a rope. ”

"Nope." Su Ping shook his head: "The nature is completely different, the stones here are too slippery, so it's better to be careful." “

"Yes," said Lao Wei, "just go around a little, don't joke about your safety." ”
