A long-collapsed earthen house, a yellow-horned tree with entrenched roots, and a dry well that has long since dried up.

This seems to be a static sketch left in the deserted countryside, but in this seemingly peaceful picture, a cruel murder occurred.

Lao Lu frowned, pointed to the two bluestone grinding discs and said, "At noon today, a villager who went into the mountain to protect the forest found that this dry well was covered with two bluestone grinding discs. The villagers felt very strange, the collapsed earthen house and the dry well had long been deserted, and when he passed by here before, there was no grinding disc on the dry well. But today, there are more bluestone grinding discs for no reason, and the two pieces are still overlapped. It is located in Xiazhong Village, Wuling Town, and is near the Daqiuping tomb group. Therefore, the villagers who guard the forest think that this is not the tomb robbers who have stolen some cultural relics and antiques, and they can't take them away for the time being, so they hide in this dry well, and seal the dry well with a grinding plate, and then come back to get it after the wind has passed. So the villagers found the village party secretary, and the two of them removed the grinding disc together, but there were no antique relics in it, it was all dirt. However, the village party secretary found that the color of the soil was different from that on the wall of the dry well, and it should have been filled into the dry well later, so he picked up the soil. Unexpectedly, under the dirt was a decomposing corpse. ”

Lao Lu's description was quite detailed, and I quickly determined that this was a premeditated murder and burial case.

The body had been completely exhumed by investigators by this time, and the forensic examination had long since ended.

As is customary, I took the trouble to examine the deceased.

The deceased was wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt with English letters on the chest, the fabric of the T-shirt was very ordinary, and the trademark of the T-shirt was checked, which was also an unknown brand.

The deceased was wearing black summer fashion jeans with holes in the knees of the pants for decoration.

The deceased's shoes were a pair of white women's athletic shoes with pink stripes, which were size 36 shoes.

Although the body was unrecognizable due to the high level of decomposition, I could still determine from what the deceased was dressed for, and the deceased was a young girl.

However, due to the high level of decay, I can't be sure of his exact age for the time being, but I can confirm that the time of death was more than two months old.

I have two bases for judging the time of his death. Of course, the main thing is according to the degree of decomposition of its corpse, and secondarily the dress of the deceased. It's late October, the weather is getting cooler, and people generally wear long-sleeved autumn clothes. And the deceased was dressed in a summer dress. According to this, it is more possible to prove that the time of death of the deceased should be in the summer.

I examined the deceased and found a severe collapse on the left side of his skull and a residual dried blood clot in his hair. It seems that this is her fatal wound.

There is also a very important place, that is, the hands of the deceased are tied behind the back. The tool used to tie the deceased was not rope or wire, but large plastic tape. The plastic tape was wrapped around the deceased's wrist in as many as a dozen layers.

Looking at this situation, the first thing that comes to my mind is the kidnapping and murder case.

After that, nothing was found on the deceased's body that could prove his identity, and no belongings were found, including mobile phones, wallets, etc.

I looked around the dry well again, and found nothing of value because it had been a long time since the crime had been committed.

Then I know that the first direction of detection now is to investigate the identity of the deceased first.

The body was sent to the forensic center, and the results of further autopsies were soon available.

The autopsy report stated that the deceased died between August 25 and 27 and that the deceased was between 18 and 20 years old. Apart from blunt force fatal injuries to the head, no further injuries were found.

However, there is an important point where sperm spots were found in the deceased's body, but it is not certain whether the deceased was sexually assaulted or voluntary. Because when we found the body, the deceased's clothes were intact.

The identification center extracted the DNA data of the deceased and the DNA data of the sperm spots, and there was no matching data in the big database.

However, the results of the forensic examination gave a range, which was the exact age of the deceased. In this way, the scope of the search for missing persons is greatly narrowed.

Lao Lu immediately investigated the case of missing persons in the past two months. Thankfully, in these two months, only one young girl has gone missing.

Lao Lu and I quickly found the reporter of the missing girl.

This is a woman in her early 40s, named Feng Guifen, who lives in Longsha Town, Wanzhou District, and has opened a small noodle restaurant in the town.

In this noodle restaurant, we met Feng Guifen. Feng Guifen was dressed very plainly, with a yellow apron tied to her chest.

Feng Guifen sat on a chair in front of the dining table, wiped her tears and said, "My daughter disappeared inexplicably two months ago. Her name is Tan Lishu, she has just turned 18 years old, and after graduating from technical school, she didn't find a suitable job, so she helped out in the noodle restaurant. I remember that afternoon, after the noodle shop was done, she went out. I also said that it was hot and the sun was shining, so let her get a parasol. She said to go out for a while and come back in a while, without an umbrella. She was still elated when she left, but who knew that she would never be contacted again. ”

I frowned and asked, "Did you contact her after that?" ”

Feng Guifen took out a napkin on the dining table, wiped the corner of her eyes and said, "My daughter is a little playful, but she still understands what she wants to do. She helps out at the noodle shop, and even if she goes out in the afternoon, she will be back by 5 p.m. But she didn't come back that day, and I called her at first, and the call went through, but no one answered. When I called it later, it turned off. ”

I knew in my heart that Tan Lishu had already been killed at that time.

I asked, "Do you remember what your daughter wore when she went out?" ”

Feng Guifen said: "Remember. She wears a white short-sleeved shirt with some letters on her chest, and her pants are black trousers with holes in her knees. ”

Lao Lu and I glanced at each other, and the clothes she described were exactly the same as those of the deceased.

Although I am very reluctant to tell Feng Guifen the truth, there are some things that must be explained after all, and they must be faced and endured.

We took Feng Guifen to the forensic center, and when she saw the deceased, she immediately recognized it as her daughter. She knelt in front of the corpse and cried so hard that she almost fainted.

Later, through the DNA comparison between the deceased and Feng Guifen, it was determined that the two were indeed immediate family members, and it was confirmed that the deceased was Feng Guifen's daughter, Tan Lishu.
