"You also know that those who do what we do rely on evidence. Although Wang Xingtao's case is strange, all the details at the scene point to him committing suicide, and in the end it can only be characterized as suicide. Chen Jie shook his head: "My father was the chief prosecutor and forensic doctor in charge of this case at that time, although this case was given, and the family had no objections, but it was in my father's heart for more than ten years. ”

"Cut off your legs, cut off your arms?"

"yes, this person is stress-reactive. When you cut the first knife, you may still have the courage, but if you go down this knife, you will stop when you feel the pain, and you will not have the courage to cut the second knife, let alone cut off your legs and an arm. Of course, there are many bizarre cases, just the one that An Ning talked about a few days ago, it was also because he was ruthless to himself after taking hallucinogenic drugs, this Wang Xingtao, except for normal smoking and drinking, did not have those bad problems, and through the autopsy, he did not find any special drugs he took when he did it to himself. My dad just couldn't understand this, so he struggled with it all his life. ”

"What about him?" Chang Tai glanced at the victim in front of him.

"Him?" Chen Jie squatted next to the corpse: "Judging from the corpse, it was divided after death. Both lower limbs and both forearms were also cut off by force. This murderer should know some medical aspects. You see, the cutting points he chose were all bone joints, which were relatively easy to cut. Based on the deceased's mortis, as well as the distribution of corpse spots on his body, it is likely that he has been dead for more than three days. The exact time of death and the cause of death require further autopsy. ”

Chen Jie stood up as he spoke, and commanded his assistant: "You two, help put people in body bags and send them to the funeral home." They have a large place there, and the exhaust and deodorization facilities are relatively good, which is suitable for the examination of this type of corpse. ”

The assistants have also been with Chen Jie for two or three years, and they are very quick to do things. However, a criminal policeman next to him who wanted to reach out to help, when he saw the appearance of the corpse, he couldn't help but run to the side and vomit.

This situation is relatively common, especially for young criminal police officers who have just been assigned from the police academy. However, I got used to it by spitting and spitting.

"What is this?" The assistant who was about to zip it up picked up something from the body bag: "Cicada shell, how can there be this thing on this corpse?" ”

Cicada shell, also called cicada off, cicada clothes.

The old man said just now that when the deputy factory director named Wang Xingtao died, there was a cicada clothes by his side.

"Maybe it's something in the sewer, this body was thrown in the sewer, and it was normal to accidentally get this thing on it."

"I don't think it's stained." The assistant glanced at the corpse: "When it was just salvaged, we had already done a preliminary cleanup, and we hadn't found this thing at that time." ”

Chen Jie frowned, glanced into the body bag, and found that the mouth of the deceased who had just been closed was open.

"Where did you pick up this cicada?"

The assistant pointed to the neck socket of the deceased.

Chen Jie's eyes dimmed.

"What's wrong?" Chang Tai asked.

"This cicada should be in the mouth of the deceased." Chen Jie explained, while asking the assistant to stop the carrying action, and broke the deceased's mouth with a white-gloved hand: "There are still crumbs of cicadas left in the mouth, which should have been put in after death." What is this murderer telling us? ”

"The case of the deputy factory director." Ding Dang continued: "The old man said just now that at the scene of the crime of the deputy factory director, a cicada was also found. The old man also said that the weather was not hot at that time, and it was not the season for cicadas. ”

"It was spring, about the beginning of March, and I remember it very clearly, because of this case, my father had to tell me repeatedly for seven or eight years, and I could almost recite the whole process." Chen Jie recalled: "I remember that there was another incident in that year, which was probably before the case in the textile factory, when a tourist bus overturned and almost all the people on the bus died. Yes, it is a tourist bus, organized by the hospital, and almost all of the people on the bus are doctors in the hospital and doctors' families. ”

"No survivors?"

"Yes, but not much, two or three. I remember that one of them seems to be a relative of this textile factory case, this Wang Xingtao's cousin or something. He had a girlfriend at the time, the director of the hospital's logistics department, divorced, and at least ten years older than him. At that time, sibling love was relatively rare, so I had an impression of this. The director of the logistics department died in the crash, and Wang Xingtao's relative survived, but injured one eye. That case was also handled by my father, and during the investigation, the relationship between that person and Wang Xingtao was discovered, so I made a special note of it. ”

"Then does he have anything to do with Wang Xingtao's death?"

"Probably not, I remember that person was a pharmaceutical salesman." Chen Jie recalled: "In the early years, people who did pharmaceutical sales made a lot of money, but people outside didn't understand it, and they felt that these people were similar to liars, and their impression was not particularly good. One is the deputy director of a textile factory, and the other is a drug salesman, and there is nothing to do with the two. ”

"It doesn't matter, this cicada is also medicine." Ding Dang interjected: "It's just Chinese medicine." ”

"Ding Dang is right, this cicada is indeed a medicine, and the clinical effect is relatively extensive." Chen Jie muttered: "According to research, this cicada also has a large amount of chitin, which has a sedative effect, can reduce reflex response and striated muscle tension, and has a blocking effect on nerves. ”

"That person should still be alive, right?" Chang Tai asked lightly: "Ding Dang, go check it." ”

"If you find out something, remember to tell me too, my father is still thinking about that case back then." Chen Jie carefully put the cicada in the body bag and pulled the zipper: "Team Chang, I'll go to autopsy the corpse first, and I'll contact you after the autopsy report comes out." In addition, the colleagues in the trace identification department seem to have made some discoveries, so you can go there and have a look first. ”

Chang Tai nodded.

Watching Chen Jie and his colleagues from the forensic department leave in the car, Chang Tai's eyes fell on the suitcase resting in the corner. The suitcase looked a little old, not only was it very old, but it also had a lot of wear and tear on the corners.

"This suitcase was found next to the trash can over there." A colleague from the Trace Identification Department walked to Chang Tai's side and pointed to the green trash can not far away: "The box, Director Chen has already inspected it, there are blood stains in it, and there are some fragments of skin tissue, which can be confirmed to be used to throw corpses." It's just that there is too little blood left at the scene, the body was recovered from the sewer, and the garbage can has been picked up, leaving us with too little information to check. ”

"Not a lot, at least the killer told us that this was not the scene of the first crime." Chang Tai withdrew his gaze from the suitcase: "Who was the first person to find the body?" When is it? ”

"It's the owner of this tofu soup shop."

It is customary to get up early every day for diners, but the vendors on the old street are a little different. The old street is lively at night and deserted during the day, so the merchants on the old street usually wake up late. This tofu soup is different from other soup shops, the boss does not buy ready-made tofu, worried that it will be put in the [clewx.-c o m hair fastest] night, it will not be fresh, affecting the taste of the whole tofu soup, so his tofu is freshly ground and made.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the boss and the proprietress got up, sorted out things, and prepared to grind tofu. The sewers in this old street are not very good, and they are often blocked, as usual, the boss took homemade tools and prepared to unclog the sewers, but when he opened the stone slab, he found the body that had been thrown inside. It's a good thing that the boss has a good heart, otherwise, this arm and leg can scare people out of trouble.

"The corpse has been soaked in it for two or three days, and the people who pass by can't smell the stench?"

"You can smell it, but no one thinks of a corpse. Another reason is that although this old street is old, the sewer sealing measures are not bad, even if there is a sporadic smell wafting up, they think it is normal. ”

The colleague pointed to the suitcase in front of him.

"Just like the suitcase used to throw the corpse, in fact, this box also smells, but when it is placed next to the garbage can, everyone who smells it will think that it is the smell from the garbage can, and no one pays attention to this box."

"It's been two or three days, and no one has cleaned up the garbage cans on this old street?"

"Yes, there are garbage trucks, but they don't come every day. In addition, there are a lot of waste pickers in this city, and some of the garbage pullers will not load things such as boxes into the car, thinking that they will leave it to those waste pickers. I don't know if it's because the box is too broken for those scavengers to look down on, or if the smell in the box makes them feel uncomfortable, but the box has been sitting there and no one has moved. ”

"Are there fingerprints?"

"There are some fingerprints, and after judgment, they should all be left by those who picked up the garbage."

"Is there surveillance footage on the old street?"

"No, I don't know if I forgot it, or because this is the oldest commercial street, I didn't install it because I wanted to keep its original features. There are a few shops that have installed them in front of them, but I don't think I can find anything. First, at night, the flow of people in this old street is particularly large, almost reaching the kind of shoulder to shoulder. Also, there are many entrances and exits in Lao Cai. Those few monitors can't monitor the situation on the entire old street. ”

"Where's the surveillance?"

"Still investigating."

"Okay, let me know when the results come out." Chang Tai said, raised his feet and entered the Ma Ji tofu shop.
