Chapter 42: Sorting Out the Clues
"Do you know any brand of this jewelry?" Lao Xing asked on the side.
"I don't know, I haven't seen this style, and I don't remember any brand with an M logo." Yu Yuqian replied.
"Well, Lao Xing, you can check this jewelry to see if there is any relevant information. Is there anything in these clothes that can identify the deceased? Chen Yiyan spoke.
"No, the on-site personnel have already searched, and there is nothing in this clothing and this cloth-like thing that can confirm the identity of the deceased." Xiao Yan said as he looked at the list of on-site evidence that had been sorted out on the side.
"See for yourself, I still have a meeting to have, and I will send the practice report to your bureau tomorrow." Dr. Dai left the autopsy room.
After Chen Yiyan looked at all the things on the evidence table, he came to the human bones that had been pieced together by Dai Forensic Medicine, and Yu Yuqian followed behind him, taking notes with a notebook.
"I'm a layman to identify a corpse, but I have a forensic doctor." Chen Yiyan circled: "Indeed, the obvious scar is only the inverted triangular bayonet mark on the left rib. ”
Chen Yiyan looked up at Lao Xing: "Bayonets don't seem to be common here." ”
"Yes, there are almost no bayonets." Lao Xing has been a police officer for so many years, and he has only seen bayonets in police academies, museums, and television.
"The width and thickness of this bayonet and the shape of the inverted triangle should be the bayonet of Liguo." Because Yu Yuqian was recording on the side, Chen Yiyan said almost all his thoughts for the first time.
"Lao Xing, go check if there is any relevant murder weapon registration. After all, bayonets are still rare. ”
Lao Xing turned his head to look at Yan Cheng who was standing on the side: "Did you hear that, check this jewelry when you go back in a while, and then check the registration record of the Liguo bayonet." ”
"Got it, Team Xing."
The age of the bones is really a bit old, and Chen Yiyan can't find anything else that can make him think of it: "Let's go to the scene." ”
There are many residents around the construction site of the community.
"I've heard that wow, dead people have been dug up here."
"I've heard that someone murdered him."
"I saw with my own eyes, I had just been riding my bike to buy groceries when I saw a couple of police officers carrying a black plastic bag...
"Let one go, let one go." Lao Xing cleaned up the onlookers to both sides, and Chen Yiyan and a few others entered the scene.
"Eh, isn't that tall and big one the airport case, and the Detective Chen who killed the husband."
"Yes, yes, as if yes. My son and he are still in elementary school. ”
Lao Xing lowered his hat a little, barely blocking the light of the sun overhead. He walked next to Chen Yiyan: "You are now a celebrity." ”
"How do I know? I haven't dealt with any media, and if they report on me, I'll have to charge for it. Chen Yiyan looked at Yu Yuqian, who had the notebook on his head: "You go and sit over there." ”
Behind them there was a janitorial place, with a beach umbrella and a few seats underneath, which was supposed to be a resting place for the workers. Now that the bodies have been dug up at the construction site, the workers are either taken to the police station for questioning, or they are going home or looking for the next construction site.
"Okay." Yu Yuqian knew that she was allergic to ultraviolet rays, and she was not reluctant.
Chen Yiyan and Lao Xing dug a pit with plastic bags containing the bones, and Xiao Yan had already returned to the police station.
It's not a deep pit. Chen Yiyan estimated that the pit dug was only one and a half meters deep.
"What is this place?" Chen Yiyan squatted down and observed the pit.
"It was originally a wasteland." Lao Xing checked from the police station, and this side was the same as the field outside the moth case before, and it was not until a year ago that this land was zoned as a planning and construction site, and the ground did not start to be started.
"You leave some men digging around and looking for any clues. Let's go back to the police station first and confirm the identity of the body. Chen Yiyan stood up,
"Okay." Lao Xing had already checked this scene in the morning, and he really didn't have any ideas and clues, so he thought of going to the office to find Chen Yiyan.
When she came to the police station, Yu Yuqian found a place to sit down, and Chen Yiyan poured her a glass of water.
"Are there any files of missing persons from previous years?" Chen Yiyan poured himself a glass.
"Yes, someone has already been asked to take it out." As he spoke, Xiao Yan took out a large document from behind.
"The disappearance files from five to twenty years ago are here, Brother Chen." Xiao Yan put the document on the table in front of Chen Yiyan.
"Lao Xing, you have a treat at noon." Chen Yiyan said.
"Okay." Lao Xing took out his mobile phone and ordered takeout for Chen Yiyan and Yu Yuqian: "You can choose what you want to eat." ”
"I'll choose!" Yu Yuqian took Lao Xing's mobile phone.
At about twelve o'clock at noon, Lao Xing and Xiao Yan were holding the rice in the police canteen and watching Chen Yiyan look through the documents, Yu Yuqian was also eating fried rice noodles on the side, and Chen Yiyan had not moved his chopsticks.
After reading most of the documents, Chen Yiyan has not found a missing person who matches the height and age of the deceased.
"You can eat a little first, I'll come and see." Yu Yuqian handed him the fried rice noodles she had ordered for Chen Yiyan.
"Hmm." Chen Yiyan opened the lid, and the fried rice noodles were still hot. His original intention was to finish reading it himself, or supervise Lao Xing to finish reading it, but Yu Yuqian wanted to watch it, so he let her watch it.
Yu Yuqian's results began to look at the file documents, and Chen Yiyan ate the first bite of today's meal.
Yu Yuqian's speed of reading was not slower than Chen Yiyan's, and even faster than Chen Yiyan's. The remaining half of the file had already been turned over when Chen Yiyan finished eating fried rice noodles.
"It's strange, there is no report of the deceased." Lao Xing and Xiao Yan had already packed up their lunch boxes.
"Lao Xing, are you sure this is all the files?" Chen Yiyan asked.
"That's right. Do you think the family of this missing person did not report it? Lao Xing said a possibility.
"Unlikely, from the class level of the deceased, it should not go unnoticed." Chen Yiyan denied Lao Xing's idea.
"Could that be a disappearance that was not reported locally by us?" Yu Yuqian spoke.
"Well, that's more likely." Chen Yiyan recognized.
"Wouldn't that be to investigate all the disappearance cases in the entire city and even in the national police system?" Xiao Yan asked behind Lao Xing.
"No, I just want to check these files in the hope that the progress will be faster, the sooner I know the identity of the deceased, and the sooner I can get useful clues. Wait for tomorrow, tomorrow Forensic Doctor Dai will send the information and autopsy report of the deceased, and then put it into the national database for comparison. Chen Yiyan glanced at the box that Yu Yuqian had eaten next to him, and also took it and threw it in the trash with his packing box.
"So what now?" This is the first case that Xiao Yan has officially participated in, so he is very concerned.
Chen Yiyan's eyes saw Xiao Yan's positive appearance, which reminded him of the first time he handled the case, when he was not a detective. Chen Yiyan said: "Relax, sort out all the clues you have now." ”
"Any clues?" Lao Xing spoke.
"The only clues in front of us now are the excavation site, the bones of the deceased, and the clothes and jewelry they are wearing. What do you think of these three things? Chen Yiyan asked.
"Before the excavation site was a wasteland, the bones of the deceased can only indicate that the age of death was a long time ago, and the clothes and jewelry from Miss Yu's words mean that the deceased should be either rich or expensive." Lao Xing told the known clues, and Xiao Yan nodded.
"Don't you think there is a connection between the three?" Chen Yiyan continued to ask questions.
"Contact?" Lao Xing's right hand crossed his chest and touched the stubble that had just grown on his chin, and fell into thought.
Chen Yiyan looked at Xiao Yan, and the other party seemed to be thinking like Lao Xing.
"Why would he wear pajamas to take the wasteland?" Yu Yuqian spoke.
"Yes!" Chen Yiyan nodded, Yu Yuqian's thoughts were the same as his.
"Usually most detectives are looking for a motive for the crime, so why did the deceased come to the wasteland? Since the deceased may not have been local, there must have been some reason why he came here. Wearing pajamas proves that he spent the night here, whether he was staying at a friend's house or in a hotel. And whether the construction site is the first crime scene has yet to be verified, so there is still a lot to do. Chen Yiyan said what he thought.
Lao Xing, Xiao Yan and the few police officers sitting behind them lit up, and they seemed to have a direction for those who had never been in contact with this kind of case.
"Lao Xing, you go to find out if the scene is the location of the first crime, Xiao Yan, you wait for the report of the forensic doctor, and then go to the database to compare whether there are any related missing persons."
"So what am I going to do?" Yu Yuqian, who was behind him, asked.
"O we, let's rest! The detective's brain needs to be relaxed. Chen Yiyan turned his head to look at Yu Yuqian.
Chen Yiyan and Yu Yuqian left the police station and returned to the office. Chen Yiyan took out a box of allergy medicine from the drawer and handed it to Yu Yuqian.
"Let's eat one." Chen Yiyan had already noticed that Yu Yuqian's skin was a little red, and on the way back, Yu Yuqian scratched his left wrist twice.
"yes, okay." Yu Yuqian took a little water from her mug and swallowed the pill.
Although Chen Yiyan said that he was resting, he was actually looking up some things he wanted to check in the office. There is only one computer in the office at present, so Chen Yiyan naturally stood behind Yu Yuqian again and began to instruct Yu Yuqian to use the search engine. The afternoon was spent surfing the web for the two.
"So there are so many things on the Internet." Yu Yuqian looked at Chen Yiyan who was sitting on the side.
"Yes, thanks to the fact that this is an era of open information, many things can be found directly or indirectly on the Internet. I believe that there are indeed detectives who are as scary as in film and television works, but that is definitely not me, I just use my own brain hole to think a little more. Chen Yi stretched his waist.
"That's amazing, too!"
