"Oh my God, it's horrible, why is it so cruel?"

"What a grudge!"

"Don't look at it, children, they'll have nightmares."

......

This series of discussions took place in a quiet village, and the villagers were talking about a corpse that had been boiled in water.

Standing on the edge of the excavated pit, Lao Lu said to me: "The murderer's methods are extremely cruel, and because the corpses are divided and the corpses are boiled in boiling water, it is difficult for even the forensic doctors at the scene to determine the specific time of death. ”

I looked at the pit where the bodies were buried, shook my head and said, "This does seem a little tricky. ”

I looked around and saw that this was not a field, but a wasteland, but I could still see a house standing here, and it seemed that the murderer was quite bold enough to bury the body near where another person lived. But then I thought, maybe the murderer has something to do with that house, and I'll check it out later.

I looked at Lao Lu with a sad face and said, "Who found out that there is a corpse buried here?" ”

Lao Lu pointed to an old man who was bald and thin, and there was a big wolf dog squatting beside him, and said, "This old man found it." It was found by his wolfdog, to be exact, and the wolfdog suddenly seemed to go crazy and ploughed the earth in circles, and when the old man came to inspect it, he found that the land was clearly newly turned and covered. He was very curious about what could be buried underneath and make his wolfdog look like crazy. So the old man took a hoe and dug up the land. Unexpectedly, these cooked corpses were buried underground, which scared the old man's soul away at that time. The old man told his daughter about it, and it was his daughter who called the police. ”

When I heard this, I jumped into the shallow pit and examined the corpses.

I found that although the flesh and skin of the corpses were relatively regular, the bones were quite irregular. It is explained that the murderer's method of mutilating the body was to cut the flesh with a knife and then cut off the bones of the deceased. If the corpse is mutilated in this way, then there should be a large amount of blood splatters and some mutilated scattered corpse parts and human bones at the scene.

Of course, since this is the place where the body was buried, it cannot be the scene of the first crime. According to my analysis, this should belong to the third crime scene.

Why is it the third crime scene? Because the first crime scene should be the scene where the murderer killed the deceased, and the second crime scene should be the scene where the body was dismembered and cooked.

The corpse pieces were so badly cooked that they had turned white and bloodless, almost cooked. So, like the medical examiner, it is difficult to determine the time of death of the deceased without the support of technical means. Therefore, these corpse parts do not seem to have much clue at the scene.

Underneath the corpses, there was a lot of clothing, all of which I had dug up.

A pair of blue trousers, a pair of blue boxer briefs, a gray shirt, a pair of black socks, and a pair of old leather shoes.

In the center of the shirt, there was a large blood stain, and there was a cut about 3 centimeters long, which was cut by a single-edged knife. And judging from the position of the opening, this knife is a fatal knife, and it is very likely that it stabbed the deceased in the heart, resulting in a fatal knife.

I looked around the pit again, and from the marks on the surrounding walls, I deduced that the pit must have been dug with a shovel. Moreover, this shovel is not large, about the size of the shovel head of the ordnance shovel. But this is a rural area, and maybe every household has such a shovel.

There was only this information in the burial place, so I jumped out of the shallow pit and said to Lao Lu: "Hurry up and send someone to investigate, if any of the nearby villagers are missing, let the missing family members come to identify these clothes." ”

Lao Lu nodded and ordered the three criminal policemen to take action. I, on the other hand, walked straight to the house not far away. And this house is also the only house that can be seen near the burial site.

I walked to the side of the house and found that the house seemed to have been idle for a long time, but I could see that although it was an idle house, it was not an abandoned house. Because when you look through the window, you can see that there is all the furniture, and although there is not much furniture inside, judging from the few furniture furnishings, it is definitely not abandoned.

The glass windows are still intact, but covered with a layer of dust.

I walked around the house to the backyard and found that there were traces of dirt on the ground in the backyard.

This is an idle house, how can anyone turn over dirt in the backyard?

I walked over to the churned dirt, crouched down and grabbed a handful of the churned dirt, it was wet and sticky, and when I took it to my nose and smelled it, there was a mixture of dirt and blood.

I slammed the dirt open, and it was covered with blood, as well as scraps of flesh and bones.

I'm sure this is the scene of the dismemberment. Then I immediately deduced that the place where the murderer cooked the body parts may be in the kitchen inside the house.

I immediately went to the kitchen window and found that there were traces of cement on the kitchen floor, and they were very new. I looked at the kitchen stove again, which was a firewood stove in the countryside. So is this and cement used to repair cooktops?

I couldn't wait to get inside, so I went to the gate and found it locked with an iron lock the size of a 7-year-old's fist.

However, I found that there were obvious signs of prying on the iron lock. So I tried to pull the lock down, and it opened. This lock must have been broken by the murderer.

Inside, I quickly ran to the kitchen, and right on the kitchen door, I spotted a puddle of brown marks. It's the mark left by something with blood on the door.

There were also faint lumpy blood marks on the kitchen floor, and it seemed that the dismembered corpse parts had once been placed in this location.

I took a closer look at the little cement left on the ground and made sure it was very new, and it wouldn't last more than 24 hours. Could it be that the murder happened last night?

Walking to the stove, there was a large pot on the stove, and there was a pool of clear water stains in the pot, it seemed that the pot had been thoroughly cleaned.

There was freshly plastered cement on the cooktop, apparently someone had recently repaired it. Of course, I judged that the person who repaired the stove was the murderer. Otherwise, in an idle room, how can someone come to repair the stove that no one uses for no reason?

I picked up the pot, and in the hole of the stove, there was fresh wood ash, and I could actually feel the heat of the wood ash. I thought it was my hallucination, so I put the iron pot aside and reached into the stove hole to touch it, and there was really heat.

Now I am even more sure that the murder and dismemberment of corpses happened not long ago, and the most likely case was last night.

I walked around the room and found a small shovel in the firewood room, and the dirt on the shovel was still wet, apparently this was the shovel used by the murderer to dig the pit.

I turned on the lights in the room and the lights came on. I tried the water pipe again and the water came. It can be seen that my analysis is good, this is an idle house, not an abandoned house. So who would have the audacity to dissect and cook corpses outside other people's idle houses? Could this murderer have something to do with the owner of the house?

At this time, Lao Lu's investigation with the criminal investigation team had results, and a male villager named Wang Zhanhong did not return all night. His wife went to the burial site and recognized at a glance that the clothes belonged to Wang Zhanhong, so she hugged the pile of clothes that were stained with blood and sludge and cried, the scene was very bleak.

As for whether the deceased is Wang Zhanhong, it can only be fully confirmed through DNA comparison, but looking at the sad look of his wife crying, it is inseparable.

So who would do such a cruel thing to Wang Zhanhong? Is it a vendetta or a vendetta?

The police immediately launched an investigation into Wang Zhanhong's social network.

Wang Zhanhong, 42 years old this year, a native of Wanzhou, is a carpenter, and the carpenter is famous in the whole village.

Based on the comparison of the deceased's DNA with that of his son, it was determined that Wang Zhanhong was the deceased.

So why was such a carpenter in a village murdered?

During the investigation, Wang Zhanhong's wife reported to us that on the night of the crime, Wang Zhanhong had already arrived home at about 9 o'clock in the evening, but after he put down the braised vegetables and beer he bought, he hurriedly went out again.

After learning about this situation, I analyzed that Wang Zhanhong must have been asked out by someone, so could this person who asked Wang Zhanhong be the murderer?

But the question now is who asked Wang Zhanhong out, no one knows.

In the course of the ongoing investigation, a piece of information was obtained from Wang Zhanhong's neighbor, that is, on the night of the crime, the neighbor seemed to hear the sound of someone arguing. It was two men arguing, one of whom was Wang Zhanhong's voice.

But the quarrel between the two was short, and after a few words, the sound stopped abruptly. Because it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, it was already very dark, so the neighbors did not go out to see more.

The situation reported by the neighbors shows that Wang Zhanhong had an argument with a strange man after going out, but the dispute was very short.

I deduced that perhaps it was during this dispute that the murderer pierced Wang Zhanhong's heart, which led to an abrupt end to the dispute.

According to the neighbor's description, the place where the two men argued was not far from his house.

And I think that's probably the first scene of the crime. So Lao Lu mobilized police forces and searched near Wang Zhanhong and his neighbors' homes.

Sure enough, on a low wall, blood stains were found. This wall is a remnant wall left over from the demolition of the previous house, about 3 meters long and about 90 centimeters high. Crossing this remnant wall, you can directly go to the machine plow road outside the house, so the villagers who live in the vicinity often choose this road to walk.

The bloodstains on the remnant wall are on the side of Wang Zhanhong's house, and these bloodstains have become brown, and the remnant wall is a yellow clay wall, so it is not easy to be found.

The investigators extracted the blood stains on the remnant wall, and they would compare whether the blood stains were left by Wang Zhanhong.

I speculate that if this was the first scene of the homicide, then the deceased's heart was damaged, and his blood must have remained nearby.

Sure enough, when I climbed over the ruined wall and walked in the direction of a wasteland, I could see scattered blood stains. When I arrived at the wasteland, I found a large amount of blood stains on the weeds, and apparently in this place, Wang Zhanhong had a heavy hemorrhage.

And from the remnant wall to the location of this wasteland, you can clearly see that there are traces of drag on the ground. Then it can be shown that after Wang Zhanhong was stabbed, it was the murderer who dragged him to the wasteland.

Here I wonder very much, the murderer is really bold, he actually dared to kill Wang Zhanhong at the door of his house, how mad is he?

But after thinking about it for a while, maybe the murderer didn't plan to kill Wang Zhanhong, so he went to Wang Zhanhong's house to find him, maybe there were some things to be clarified.

It's just that the two didn't make things clear, but had an argument. The murderer killed Wang Zhanhong in a fit of rage.

But there is another thing that I don't understand, why did the murderer take his body to an idle hut after killing Wang Zhanhong and cook his body? I feel that the murderer's approach is not only to cover up the truth, but more likely to have a deep-rooted contradiction between the two.

The investigation continued, and after the investigation deepened further, many things about Wang Zhanhong surfaced.

I heard from a woman surnamed Li in the village that Wang Zhanhong used to have trysts with a woman from the same village in a remote place. This woman and Wang Zhanhong had fallen in love when they were young, and everyone in the village knew about it. But in the end, I don't know what the reason was, and the two didn't get together. Now they have families and children. However, the tryst between the two was bumped into by this woman surnamed Li, and the woman surnamed Li said conclusively that she was 100% sure that the two were having a tryst. Because when she went to the mountains to pick up mushrooms, she bumped into the two of them doing that in the deep mountains and old forests.

This situation surprised me and Lao Lu. As the so-called hatred of taking a wife is unbearable, I instantly locked the object of suspicion on the husband of the woman who had a tryst with Wang Zhanhong. But in order not to startle the snake, I kept silent for the time being and secretly investigated.

Soon, Lao Lu and I found this woman who had an affair with Wang Zhanhong.

The woman's name is Liu Huahua, 40 years old, a native of Wanzhou, married, and has two daughters. His husband's name is Zhou Heming, 45 years old this year, who is also a native of Wanzhou, and usually works on the construction site.

When we found Liu Huahua, his husband Zhou Heming was not at home. Liu Huahua said that he went to work at a construction site in Chongqing two days ago. And the time when Zhou Heming left the village was the day after Wang Zhanhong's death. So I have some doubts that this Zhou Heming is afraid of crime and absconded.

Now that I have found Liu Huahua, of course I have to investigate to the bottom of it.

Although this Liu Huahua was born in the countryside and is 40 years old, her facial features are very three-dimensional and her figure is well maintained. If you put on makeup and dress up carefully, you can still show some style.

At the first glance I saw Liu Huahua, I could see that her eyes were slightly swollen and red, obviously crying.

Did she cry for the dead Wang Zhanhong?

Lao Lu and I sat in the courtyard in front of her house, and she sat across from us.

I looked at her and said, "Sister Liu, what do you think of your first love?" ”

Liu Huahua and Lao Lu were both stunned, Lao Lu frowned and glanced at me, which means that what nonsense are you asking, but Lao Lu still knows me better and didn't interrupt me.

Liu Huahua looked at me, and suddenly two lines of tears flowed out. She whispered, "Comrade policeman, you all know it? ”

I nodded slightly.

Liu Huahua wiped away her tears, looked at me and said: "Since you all know, I won't hide it from you, I have feelings for Wang Zhanhong who just died, and my feelings for her are much deeper than my feelings for Zhou Heming." ”

I said, "I understand the sincerity of that first love. ”

Liu Huahua's eyes lit up, looked at me and said, "Really? ”

I know that she has always struggled inside, and her conscience tells her that an extramarital affair is shameful. But she couldn't control such emotions. When I said that I understood such emotions, it was like she saw hope.

I understand, but I don't agree. But I didn't say it at this time, because I wanted to gain Liu Huahua's empathy so that she could confide in me. I'm trying my best to be her confidant.

I smiled and nodded.

Liu Huahua looked at me, sighed and said, "Not everyone looks at this matter this way, in the eyes of most people, I must be a shameful and shameless woman." ”

I said, "It's just that they don't know about your past." ”

Liu Huahua nodded slightly and said, "Yes, you don't know my past either, why do you understand?" ”

I said, "Actually, I don't really understand, but I know you must have your reasons, you might as well tell me so that I can understand more." ”

Liu Huahua looked at me for 5 seconds, like looking at a confidant. Her tears flowed again, and she nodded slightly.

She wiped away her tears and said, "I was 18 years old that year, and Zhan Hong was 21 years old. In the village, I am a well-known beauty, and Zhan Hong, who is strong, tall and tall, and has a handsome face, is also very famous in Shili and Eight Townships. I still remember that in the autumn harvest of that year, Zhan Hong didn't even go to harvest his own wheat, but ran to my family's field, and did not return to his own field until he helped my family finish harvesting. My family said that Zhanhong had taken a fancy to me. In fact, at that time, I had already taken a fancy to Zhan Hong. After this back and forth, the two of us really got along. We are both each other's first love, so we attach special importance to this relationship. A year has passed in a flash, and we have reached the age of talking about marriage. But at this juncture, something happened to Wang Zhanhong's family, and his brother was arrested for committing theft. Because of this incident, my parents thought that his family had a bad character and resolutely opposed such a marriage. I couldn't resist my parents, and I was young, so I had to break up with Wang Zhanhong. I still remember that on the day of the breakup, it was raining lightly in the sky, and we stood in the rain, standing on the muddy ground, hugging each other and crying. I've never seen Zhan Hong cry, but that day, he almost fainted from crying. I know that he cares about me in his heart. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Huahua's tears flowed again, and I handed her a napkin.

After Liu Huahua wiped away his tears, he continued: "After that, Zhan Hong soon left the village and went to the town to learn carpenter's trades. We never had any contact with each other. A year later, I got the news that Zhan Hong was married. After learning the news, I cried all night. A month later, after being introduced by my family, I also married my current husband, Zhou Heming. But I don't have the slightest affection for Zhou Heming, the reason why I married him is because I want to know what Wang Zhanhong will think when he knows that I am married. Now that I think about it, it's a stupid idea. ”

I whispered, "When you are young, you always do stupid things, but if you haven't done these things, then how can you be called young?" ”

Liu Huahua snorted and continued: "Yes, stupid idea, stupid approach. But then, I did something even more stupid. ”

I stared at Liu Huahua intently, and I knew that the following things were the key points I wanted to know.

"One day, in my third year of marriage, I was working in the field when I felt a man standing next to me. When I looked back, it was Wang Zhanhong. He smiled and said to me, "It's such a hot day, and I'm still working." I nodded and said nothing. He couldn't help but say, snatched the farm tools from my hand and helped me do the work in the field. He's still so hardworking, he's still so sharp. His actions reminded me of the past when he cut wheat for me, and also aroused my love for him. I didn't know what was wrong at the time, so I put my arms around his waist and said to him, let's go through it together. He didn't push me away, but hugged me tightly, and we hugged each other again and cried. Since then, our affair has begun. ”

Lao Lu frowned and sighed. I don't know what to say, but I know in my heart that this must be a bad fate.

Liu Huahua asked me, "Do you think I'm cheap?" ”

I didn't answer her right away, and I even thought to myself that if her parents hadn't broken them up, maybe they would have been a very happy couple.

I shook my head and said, "Human beings are emotional animals, but since you understood the true emotions in your heart at that time, why didn't you face them bravely?" You can file for divorce with your husband and be with Wang Zhanhong. ”

Liu Huahua sighed and said: "Wang Zhanhong also said the same at that time, he said that we divorced together, and then became husband and wife, and we will not be separated for the rest of our lives. But at this time, I was because I was reluctant to give up my child. I knew that if I wanted to be with Wang Zhanhong, I had to give up my children, and I was really reluctant at that time. So he still maintained this secret extramarital affair with Wang Zhanhong. After that, our house was going to be renovated, and I specially asked Zhou Heming to invite Wang Zhanhong to my house to do carpentry work, so that I would have more opportunities to contact Wang Zhanhong. But it was precisely because of this incident that Zhou Heming began to doubt my relationship with Wang Zhanhong. Because everyone in the village knows that Wang Zhanhong and I have been in love, and it has reached the point of talking about marriage. When Wang Zhanhong came to my house to do carpentry work, the people around him began to point fingers. Of course, these words also entered Zhou Heming's ears, so he kept an eye on it. Once, he pretended to go to the town to buy tiles, but in fact, he secretly hid outside the house and observed me and Wang Zhanhong. Wang Zhanhong and I were in a period of intense relationship at that time, and when Zhou and Ming were in a week, the two of us became intimate. This matter was caught by Zhou Heming. However, Zhou Heming didn't beat me and scolded me, but asked me, who are you planning to live with? Today I made it clear, we can live separately. I was very sorry for Zhou Heming at that time, so I still chose him. Since then, I haven't been in contact with Wang Zhanhong until half a year ago......"
