Chapter Seventy-Four: Turning the Eye (1)
Recently, it seems that the world is peaceful, everything is so orderly, I haven't received a call from Lao Lu for almost a month. I still remember the last time I saw Lao Lu in his office, and the main reason why he scolded me was that he thought that when I arrested the tomb robber Li Ancheng, I acted too hastily and too heroicly, and did not take my own life seriously.
When he scolded me, I didn't refute or defend it, and I knew that I was acting risky. And Lao Lu's scolding shows that he cares about me, although this way is a bit rude, but I can still accept it.
I also have a good explanation for my feeling that the world is peaceful. Qu Mo's eight top killers died so inexplicably, and it is estimated that the blow to Qu Mo's criminal group is not small, and he should rest for a while after losing his troops. What is most lacking in this world? Talent, of course. There is even more shortage of top criminal talents, because there is no professional institution to train them in crime, and it is purely based on personal talent and abnormal changes under various unpredictable circumstances. Of course, when I say aberration, I don't mean a change in the body of the criminals, but a change in their mentality.
I'm lying on my bench, staring at the microscope boredly, because there haven't been any cases that have made me excited lately, so I often do pointless experiments. I even observed the survival of anaerobic bacteria in a normal environment and recorded them in detail, and this observation experiment was inspired by Tang Zhenguo's recent periodontitis. Studies have shown that about 75% of periodontis in adults is caused by gram-negative anaerobic bacteria.
Tang Zhenguo's dependence on mobile phones has reached the point where he scrolls down all the time, and sometimes he conveys those boring and ridiculous information to me without going through the screening and screening of his brain.
Just as I was lying on the workbench in a daze, Tang Zhenguo suddenly said: "Wow, there are really frozen people in this world, you see, some water becomes ice." ”
Tang Zhenguo brought his mobile phone to me, and in the video played on the phone, I saw a strong foreign man with yellow hair put a finger into a vessel full of liquid, and then made some strange noises, and the water in the vessel turned into ice.
I rolled my eyes and said, "This little bit of water turns into ice, and I will too." ”
Tang Zhenguo took back his phone, looked at me with an incredible look, and asked, "Really?" ”
I smiled, stood up, and began fiddling around on the workbench.
I put an appropriate amount of sodium acetate into the boiling water and stir to dissolve. Once dissolved, pour the mixture into a glass and place in the refrigerator to cool. Finally, take the cooled mixture out of the refrigerator, pour it into the container, touch it with your fingers, and the mixture quickly freezes.
Tang Zhenguo looked at me with a wink, and said coldly: "You smart people are too boring! After saying that, he collapsed on the sofa and looked at his phone.
I was deeply touched by Tang Zhenguo's words. Yes, what else in this world can I get excited about? I think it's really hard to get my passion and interest in anything other than those grotesque and weird cases.
When I'm too bored, I go to the forensic center. Please don't get me wrong, I definitely didn't go to see Liu Lili, although she always thought that I went to the forensic center to find her.
I never denied it to her. I confess that I did go to her, because when I found her, I always had access to some strange corpses.
On this day, I came to the autopsy room of the forensic identification center, and Liu Lili pounced on her like a butterfly wearing a protective suit. Note that when I describe Liu Lili as a butterfly, I am not praising her beauty, but out of respect for her and myself. In fact, from the bottom of my heart, I want to compare her to a fly, but everyone knows what flies like to pounce on, so I won't elaborate on it here.
As is customary, she still enthusiastically helps me put on my hazmat suit, and still buzzes in my ears like a bee (not a fly, as above).
Most of the time, I can't listen to her buzzing because my brain selectively blocks these sounds, too many useless and gossipy sounds, which affect the storage capacity of my brain.
But what she said today is very valuable.
"I was performing an autopsy on a body that had committed suicide, but I found that the body was not a suicide, but a homicide," she said. ”
The term "he killed" stimulated my nerves, and I quickly asked, "Where is the body?" Show me. ”
Liu Lili dragged a female corpse out of the corpse cabinet, and when Liu Lili was about to introduce her findings and autopsy results to me, I waved her hand and said, "Let me see for myself first." ”
The female corpse was supposed to be around thirty years old, slightly chubby, and had a scar under the umbilicus, apparently left after a caesarean section. Her face was distorted, her ribcage collapsed, and her limbs, although corrected, showed obvious signs of fractures. These features are injuries caused by falls from heights.
I flipped the body over and over again, then pointed to her left temple and said, "Here's what you judged to be evidence of his murder!" ”
Liu Lili clapped her hands excitedly and said, "It is worthy of Detective Ouyang, and I can see the truth at a glance." ”
I looked up at the electronic clock hanging on the wall and said, "I have been observing this corpse for 11 minutes and 28 seconds, how can I see the truth at a glance?" ”
Liu Lili stuck out her tongue and said, "Metaphor, metaphor, no sense of humor." ”
I didn't answer Liu Lili's words again, and squatted down to carefully examine the wound.
On the deceased's left temple, there was a wound of about two millimeters, which was inconspicuous in appearance and had shrunk into a small slit, but I was certain that the wound was caused by a columnar murder weapon, not a flat sharp weapon. But what exactly the murder weapon was, I can't draw conclusions for the time being.
But I can determine how the murderer committed it. The murderer should have held the murder weapon in his right hand, and then stabbed the murder weapon from the deceased's left temple into the deceased's brain, causing fatal injuries to the deceased's brain tissue. After the death of the deceased, it is pushed out of the tall building and disguised as a suicide.
This is a typical homicide case, and it is by no means a suicide.
After feeling that the case was not trivial, I hurriedly rushed out of the autopsy room, ran two steps and hurriedly ran back, because Tang Zhenguo reminded me that the protective clothing on my body had not been taken off.
When I came to the criminal investigation team, I reported the situation to Lao Lu, who attached great importance to it, so he explained to me the situation of the woman who jumped off the building.
He said: "This woman's name is Zhu Fengxiu, she is from Zhongxian County, she is married, and she has a six-year-old son. She once opened a noodle shop in Wanzhou, but closed it three years ago and returned to Zhongxian County to start a night market business. Gu's husband said that in the past three years, Zhu Fengxiu has never come to Wanzhou again. But just a week ago, she suddenly said that there was an account to be collected in Wanzhou, so she came to Wanzhou alone. But two days later, he lost contact, and the husband was very worried, so he came to Wanzhou to look for his wife and called the police. The day after the police were called, the husband identified his wife in the morgue of the funeral home. The husband cried bitterly at the time, saying that his wife suffered from severe depression and had always prevented her from doing stupid things at home, but he didn't expect that after she went to Wanzhou alone, she actually committed suicide. We didn't care about it at the time, so we handed the body over to his husband, but how did the body go to the forensic center after that? ”
I said, "It was He Shu from the funeral home who found strange wounds on the body's temples when he was doing funeral makeup on the body, so he suggested that his family transfer the body to the forensic center for autopsy." ”
Lao Lu nodded and said, "Ouyang, you really can't be idle, I don't even know about this yet, but you have already got the news, it seems that Liu Lili, a little girl, regards you as her top boss." ”
I was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer, so I quickly changed the topic and said: "Now we have to file a case on this case of homicide and disguised suicide, and investigate it from three directions." First, did the deceased suffer from depression? Second, who did the deceased come to Wanzhou to collect the debts, did she really come to collect the debts? Third, is the place of suicide the site of murder? ”
Lao Lu said: "Okay, I'll let Xiao Liu go to Zhong County for a trip." Find out about the situation of the deceased, and you immediately follow me to the place of death of the deceased. ”
I said, "Xiao Liu's injury is okay so soon?" ”
Lao Lu smiled and said: "Young man, he recovered quickly, I would have given him a few more days off, and he couldn't stay idle at home, so he came to report in advance." ”
I lit a cigarette and said: "This Liu Sanxun, he drove in a hurry, his body recovered in a hurry, and his work style was also very urgent, so it was better to change his name to Liu Sanxun." ”
Lao Lu stood up and said, "People have three urgencies, and I will set off when I go to the toilet." ”
The soldiers were divided into two ways, Xiao Liu and another criminal policeman went directly to Zhongxian County to learn about the situation of the deceased, and I went to the place where the deceased fell from the building. As for the deceased's husband who was stationed in Wanzhou, we will not alarm him for the first time, because he is also the object of my suspicion.
The deceased fell from a residential building behind Sharon Road, which was an eight-storey former dormitory building for a tannery. According to local residents, just six days ago on the night, the unidentified woman jumped from the roof of the building.
When I came to this place, I first observed the environment. The construction of houses here is very irregular, and it can be said that most of the old residential buildings are from the 90s, with a majority of six- and eight-storey buildings.
The tannery's dormitory building is an open-plan house, with no gate at the staircase, and of course no security, so anyone can enter and exit.
There is no monitoring equipment installed here, so it is impossible to find clues from the monitoring.
