Chapter 32: The Vanishing Famous Painting (5)
With the search warrant in hand, of course, my lockpicking skills came into play, and when I took about ten minutes to open the security door of room 2106, I could hear a low-pitched exclamation behind me. Obviously, while these people are doubting the security of the security door, they are also doubting what I used to do.
Those who don't know are innocent, and whatever they suspect of what I did in the past, at least I've managed to get into Room 2106 now.
The layout of this house is not much different from Granny Xu's house, except that the furniture and furnishings in the house are very simple, a square table, a wooden sofa without seat cushions, no TV, no computer, and there is not even a bed in the bedroom, only a mattress, on which some clothes and quilts are thrown messily.
Of course, none of this is important, what matters is that the living room of the house is equipped with a glass cutter, a glass suction cup that looks very technological, a long climbing rope, a round piece of glass and some climbing equipment.
These things are too obvious to be the place where the thieves are located without any more carpet searches.
However, I still admire this thief's stealing action, he has been planning for more than half a year, and even bought a commercial house to lay a base for the final theft, coupled with that kind of cinematic theft method, I have to wonder if this person will be a professional thief.
After looking at the structure of the house, I understood why the thieves had given up the house as a starting point and chose the rooftop. Because the huge floor-to-ceiling windows are fully enclosed, in order to start from the vertical position above SCP-1406, it is necessary to destroy the floor-to-ceiling windows, which are facing the street, and it is easy to stand on the street and see the floor-to-ceiling windows of the entire building during the day. If the floor-to-ceiling windows are damaged, it is easy to be suspected after the theft has been committed. But choosing the rooftop is nothing more than going a little farther. In the dead of night, there is almost no difference between the safety of committing a crime from a rooftop and committing a crime in this room, and the possibility of being suspected afterwards is greatly reduced.
Standing in front of the bright floor-to-ceiling windows, I looked at the bustling streets downstairs and pondered the psychological portrait of the thief. He obviously has firm eyes and a well-proportioned and sturdy figure, and he is not too burly, nor is he too tall, otherwise he would not have just opened a round hole with a diameter of 70 cm in the glass of Granny Xu's house. This person is meticulous and can wait for half a year to carry out a theft, which shows that his face will show coldness and calmness.
Thinking of this, I asked the security captain and the property manager, "Is there a photo of the head of the household?" ”
The property manager said: "There should be a copy of the ID card of the head of the household in the archives, and I will send someone to find it." After saying that, he called his phone.
I asked the security captain again, "Can you describe this person in general?" For example, height, physiognomy, hairstyle, clothing, etc. ”
The security captain thought for a while and said: "I haven't met this head of the household a few times, and I have the impression that the height is only one meter and seven years old, but he is very energetic, he looks like he is in his forties, but he has no fortune, he has a flat head, and there is no smile on his face, and this is probably the only thing I can think of." ”
I listened and nodded, it seemed that the person's appearance was not much different from the psychological portrait I had given. So I said to Lao Lu: "If the information of the head of the house registered in the property is confirmed to be real-name registration, then Shi Tao, the head of this house, is very likely to be the spider man in this theft." ”
Lao Lu nodded and said: "It is difficult to register a false identity in the purchase contract, and I can also check this Shi Tao's information through the public security network, and if it is confirmed, I will arrest this person." Okay, Xiao Xia, you are responsible for following up on Shi Tao's identity information check, and call me as soon as you confirm it. Ouyang, let's go to Luotian Town immediately. ”
I smiled and nodded, which was very much in line with Lao Lu Lei's resolute style.
On the way, Lao Lu received a call from Xiao Xia, saying that Shi Tao's identity had been confirmed and that he was the owner of a glass factory, but the glass factory had suffered serious losses in recent years and was on the verge of bankruptcy, and Shi Tao was also in debt, and he also learned that Shi Tao was a retired firefighter and a part-time rock climbing instructor in an extreme sports club. It seems that this information confirms more why he was able to carry out the theft of the cornice.
When we arrived in Luotian, it was already dark, so we bought some biscuits and snacks at the supermarket in the town and ate them as dinner. Then he went straight to the town's health center, where the burned body was temporarily stored in the health center's morgue.
When I walked into the health center, I heard the security guard and several female nurses talking in a low voice about today's cremation case.
I shook my head and smiled, it seems that this case has been demonized again.
Lao Lu showed his ID, and under the leadership of the security guard, we came to the morgue, but I didn't expect the door of the morgue to be open, and the lights were still on inside.
"Who's in there?" Lao Lu asked the security guard sideways.
The security guard touched his head and replied, "It should be the forensic doctor who came over in the afternoon, she hasn't left at this time, and the little girl is very dedicated." ”
"Forensics? Little girl? I have the impression that the forensic doctors here are all elderly people, where can there be little girls? Lao Lu said with some confusion, and walked into the morgue as he spoke.
As soon as I entered the morgue, the indescribable picture was presented in front of me, Lao Lu and I were okay, we had seen a lot of murder scenes, and a charred corpse was actually not disgusting and terrifying.
But Tang Zhenguo was different from the security comrade, and the security guard directly shouted, "Mom! ran out of the morgue, Tang Zhenguo was quite calm, but he closed his eyes, as if he squinted out of a slit to peep, just like the usual look when we watch horror movies. As for the scene in the TV series where someone vomits when they see a dead body, there are not many in reality, this kind of violent physiological reaction only exists in a very small number of people, and more is just scared to run away or blindfolded.
"Brother Ouyang, why are you here?" A woman's voice reached my ears.
"You know?" Lao Lu looked at the woman inexplicably, and then looked at me.
Yes, I know the woman in front of me with a ponytail, no makeup, glasses, and a white coat, she is the daughter of Li Xiuqing, the owner of the cigarette stall downstairs in my house, Liu Lili.
"Lili? Why are you here? I asked, puzzled.
"I'm working, I'm a full-time forensic doctor now."
"Huh? That year, your mother said that you were admitted to the intensive medical examination, but I didn't expect you to study forensic medicine! ”
"Yes! After graduating, I worked in Chongqing for a year and a half, and then voluntarily applied to work in Wanzhou. ”
"Okay, well, dedicate your youth to your hometown and support you."
Liu Lili smiled, and seemed to blush a little, but her eyes had long since left the charred corpse and were staring straight at me.
I coughed dryly twice and said, "This is Captain Lu of the District Criminal Investigation Team, and this is my assistant, you can call him Old Tang." We came to Luotian this time for this cremation case, can you tell me the results of your examination? ”
Liu Lili helped the frame, nodded, and then naturally turned the head of the charred corpse and said: "This is a male corpse, about 20-23 years old, the cause of death is that the head was repeatedly hit with a blunt object, causing a large area of skull fragmentation. Although the area where the body was incinerated was close to 100 percent, it was still possible to determine that the top part of the deceased's head had scalp avulsion wounds. ”
I frowned and nodded, and said, "Go on." ”
Liu Lili held the frame with the back of her hand and continued: "The deceased fractured the middle finger of his right hand, which is usually caused by hitting a hard object with a fist. Because of the limited conditions, there's only so much I can detect. ”
"Enough!" I said approvingly, and then said to Lao Lu: "Liu Lili's scalp avulsion and finger fracture are very important. First of all, I will talk about scalp avulsion, if it is short hair or flat head, it is difficult to form scalp avulsion, most of the scalp avulsion is caused by long hair rolled into the operation of machinery, a few are formed in the struggle with people, and can cause the other party's scalp avulsion injury with arm strength, then his arm strength must be amazing. This can be done by one person in a recent case, and that is Shi Tao, who is proficient in rock climbing. ”
Lao Lu and Tang Zhenguo nodded together, and Tang Zhenguo asked eagerly, "Is the finger fracture formed in the struggle?" ”
I looked at Tang Zhenguo and said, "Yes." If the deceased's finger fracture was hit on the murderer's body, where do you think the blow is likely to cause the finger fracture? ”
Tang Zhenguo said: "If a person is not trained in boxing, a reckless punch to the opponent's cheekbone or jawbone can cause a broken finger." ”
I said, "That's right! If, as Tang Zhenguo said, then the deceased's punch hit the murderer's face, then the murderer's face should have been painted. Based on the above inference, if Shi Tao is caught and his face is injured, then there is a great possibility that he is a murderer. ”
After listening to this, Lao Lu asked: "According to what you said, the deceased had long hair, and the deceased died in Lu Qiujun's car, so could the deceased be Lu Qiujun himself?" ”
I said, "It's very likely, but it would be better to compare the DNA with Lu Qiujun's family, and by the way, don't forget the hair I found at Cao Weihu's house." ”
Lao Lu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it as soon as possible." ”
I looked at the charred corpse, frowned and said to Liu Lili: "The corpse is burned like this, it is estimated that it will be more accurate to extract a DNA sample from the pulp." ”
Liu Lili nodded again and again.
The preliminary autopsy was almost like this, and we were about to leave the morgue to go to the Luotian police station, when Liu Lili suddenly stopped me and said, "When I came, the body and the car had not been separated, but there was one thing that puzzled me. That is, the body was burned like this, but there was no trace of the car burning. And I heard from my colleague who carried the body that a large amount of fox fur was found in the car, so many people rumored that this person was burned to death by fox fire. ”
I smiled and said, "You studied medicine, but you have to believe in science." The person burned it, but the car was not, indicating that the car was not the scene of the first crime, but was transferred to the car after the body was burned. The fox fur is even more nonsense, it is obviously to pluck some fox fur and throw it in the car, so it is mysterious. ”
Liu Lili listened, and said with a flush on her face: "Brother Ouyang is right. Then he went back to the morgue and examined the indescribable charred corpse.
