Chapter 255: The Female Corpse by the River (1)
Mixigou in June is beautiful. This Mixigou Scenic Area, also known as Mixixia Scenic Area, is located in Jiangnan New District, Wanzhou District, Chongqing City. It is located in the lower reaches of the second bridge of the Yangtze River in Wanzhou 3 kilometers, it is a narrow strip from the Yangtze River to the valley, the strange rocks on both sides of the gorge area are craggy, the cliffs are steep, the Yangtze River rushes through the side, and the valley is meandering, the depth is up to one kilometer away, from the village and the second village of Lumi to the village of Honghuo to the village of Dahe, it is quiet and abnormal. The canyon is backed by the green Cuipingshan Wuqiao Airport, and the four seasons in the valley change from time to time, with orange orchards, plum orchards, pear orchards and other fruit orchards, as well as leisure facilities such as farmhouses, which are suitable for citizens in the area to hike or go on outings on holidays.
But in such a beautiful place, a horrific murder occurred.
"Be careful, don't let the corpse slip out." Lao Lu said anxiously while moving hard. The hot and humid weather in June made Lao Lu's forehead full of beads of sweat the size of beans.
Lao Lu and three criminal police officers were salvaging a highly decomposed corpse that was found by a lady who had come to visit the bank in the water and grass near the shore of Mixigou.
I walked up to the pale, about 30-year-old lady and asked, "How did you find this body?" ”
The lady said: "I was walking to the river to see the scenery, and I saw a white mass in the aquatic plants by the river, and I walked in and saw a white human foot. Because I own a clothing store, my first reaction was to think that someone threw the plastic model from the clothing store into the river. When I looked closer, I realized that it was a corpse with no clothes on. My legs were so weak that I staggered to my husband's side and told a few big men what I had seen. When they came to confirm, they called the police. ”
I looked at the lady and nodded.
Lao Lu wrapped the body in a huge woven bag and dragged it from the river to the shore. I immediately performed an autopsy on the body.
The body of the corpse was naked, and although the corpse was already highly decomposed, it was still clearly distinguishable from the body that it was a female corpse.
The female corpse's hair was blue-black, the hair quality was very good, each hair was thick and straight, but there were no ornaments on the hair, the hair was scattered, and there were some aquatic plants left.
However, based on the quality of the hair, I should not be able to identify the age of the female corpse, no more than 26 years old.
The female corpse's face was the most corrupted, and that was because it had been severely damaged. The tool used to destroy the deceased's face was supposed to be a sharp knife, and there were as many as 47 stab wounds on his face. Did the murderer do this out of resentment towards the deceased? Or is it simply to destroy the face, so that the police cannot identify the body in a short time? I don't know now.
The female corpse had obvious bruises on her neck, and it was obvious that the deceased had been strangled by someone before her death, and it was likely that mechanical suffocation was fatal.
In addition to the bruises on the neck, I also found some bruises on the head, chest, and arms, which were left by beatings before his death.
The deceased's toenails were dyed green, and the fingernails were even more exquisite, and some gold powder could be seen on the nails, which made them look extremely fashionable. This is apparently the deceased's fingernails done before his death. Now I am even more sure that the deceased must be very young.
It's a pity that the deceased was naked, and nothing was found at the scene of the body dumping that could prove the identity of the deceased, so this female corpse is a typical nameless female corpse.
Based on the extent of the corpse's decomposition, I judged that it had been more than 20 days since it had been dead. Therefore, in these 20 days, even if the murderer may have left clues when throwing the body, because the time between the time of finding the body and the time of throwing the body is too long, it is very little to find relevant physical evidence.
I looked around the body, and it was most likely not the site of the dumping, and it was most likely that the body was dumped upstream, and then carried downstream by the current, after which the body became entangled in the aquatic weeds on the shore and ran aground here.
In the office of the criminal investigation team, Lao Lu looked at the autopsy report, shook his head and said, "It's a pity that a young girl died like this." ”
I took the autopsy report and read it carefully.
The girl's actual age was between 18 and 20 years old, and the time of death was between 29 May and 30 May, more than 20 days ago. The cause of death was determined to be mechanical asphyxiation by strangulation. The deceased had been severely beaten and had multiple soft tissue contusions on his body. The autopsy proved that the deceased had not been sexually assaulted before his death.
After reading this autopsy report, I frowned and said to Lao Lu: "This autopsy report clearly points out that the deceased was beaten before his death, but what was the reason why the murderer beat the deceased? I think the murderer may have some kind of hatred with the deceased. If it is a robbery, then such a rough beating seems to be a bit redundant, and the robbers generally evacuate quickly after grabbing the money, how can they still beat the victim continuously? If it is a robbery, then the purpose of the beating is to subdue the victim, but the victim has no signs of being sexually assaulted, is it that the beating was excessive, resulting in the death of the deceased before being sexually assaulted? This possibility is not to say that there is none, but it seems far-fetched. Therefore, the murderer's motive for committing the crime is most likely vendetta. But with whom would a young girl have a life-and-death feud? I suspect it has something to do with emotional issues. ”
Lao Lu nodded and said: "I think so too, now these young people will shout and kill when they encounter emotional problems, maybe this murderer who killed the girl is the girl's boyfriend." ”
I said, "It's very likely." ”
Of course, the investigation of the nameless corpse must first find the source of the corpse and determine the identity of the deceased. The first step is to start investigating the missing persons.
Unfortunately, none of the recent missing persons can match the information of the deceased.
I have questions and speculations about the results of the investigation into missing persons.
My question is why the girl has been dead for about 20 days, but her relatives have not reported her disappearance?
Of course, based on this situation, I have a guess. This girl should be a foreigner, probably from other places to work in Wanzhou, and because she has no relatives in Wanzhou, there are no relatives to report for the time being.
So what kind of work will this girl do in Wanzhou?
Lao Lu thinks that the girl's toenails and fingernails are smeared with fashionable and beautiful nail polish, and thinks she will work in an entertainment venue?
I don't agree with Lao Lu's point of view, young people nowadays love beauty, and the nails of her hands and feet are painted with beautiful nail polish, which does not explain the nature of her work, but only shows that she is a young girl who catches the trend.
But I think this girl has a stylish side and a conservative side. The reason I deduced this was the girl's hair, which had never been dyed, and was of excellent quality, jet-black and shiny. There are really not many girls in their 20s who have not dyed their hair. So I deduced that the girl might have been born in a rural village but had a strict and conservative upbringing.
Again, based on the girl's nail polish, it can be determined that the nature of the girl's work is not too hurtful. So that's a lot narrower, and the girl is very young, so I think her job might be sales, greeter, or even a nail technician or makeup artist. Of course, according to the photos of this finger nail polish, you can search all the nail salons in Wanzhou, and you may also be able to find clues.
After listening to my analysis, Lao Lu said, "Is it possible that he is a student?" ”
I said, "No way, if it was a student, he disappeared for 20 days without any reason, and the school would have reported it a long time ago." ”
So according to my guess, Lao Lu summoned the criminal police, people's police and auxiliary police in the whole region to visit the corresponding industries, trying to find the missing girl like a needle in a haystack.
In a clothing store, the police learned that a young female salesperson in the store had left more than 20 days ago. According to the description of the clothing store owner, the missing girl is most likely the deceased.
Lao Lu and I rushed to this clothing store in Gaosuntang Women's Street. The store mainly deals in young women's clothes and some accessories, and surveillance video has been installed in the store.
The boss is a middle-aged woman in her 40s, but she is dressed fashionably and young, and her charm is still there.
I took out my phone and said to the female boss: "I will show you three photos, one of which is the body of a woman, which may cause you discomfort." ”
The female boss smiled and said, "I graduated from the Wei Academy, and I'm used to seeing corpses, so it's okay." ”
I smiled too, so I showed the photo of the female corpse to the female boss.
Although the female boss said that she graduated from the health school, the photo of the female corpse obviously caused her discomfort, she frowned, and her face was a little pale. It can be seen that although she is still a little scared in her heart, she is still looking at the photo forcibly, as if she has to identify the person in the photo.
"It's like a little rain saying goodbye, but the degree of rot on my face is so bad that I can't be 100% sure." The female boss said apologetically.
I nodded slightly and said, "Look at the next picture." ”
The female boss flipped through her mobile phone, and when she saw the finger photo, she suddenly exclaimed and said loudly: "The style of this nail polish is exactly the same as Xiaoyu's nail polish." I went to the nail salon opposite with her to get this nail polish and I remember it very well. ”
The landlady said as she pointed to the nail salon in the Ladies Market, which was diagonally opposite the clothing store.
The landlady took us to the nail salon, and I took the nail photo to the owner of the nail salon and said, "Is this nail polish from your store?" ”
When the nail salon owner saw it, he said, "Yes, I designed this pattern." ”
I asked, "Did you do it?" ”
The nail salon owner shook his head and said, "My nail technician made it." ”
"Do you know who did it?"
The boss took my phone and said to the nail technician in the store, "Come and see, who did this?" ”
At this point, a shy girl with white-rimmed glasses said, "Yes...... I did it. ”
I hurriedly asked, "Who did you make it for?" ”
The girl looked at me, then at the nail salon owner, and then stopped.
Lao Lu saw the girl's concerns and said, "You are now helping the police solve the case, don't have any worries." ”
The girl looked at the nail salon owner again, and the beautiful landlady nodded with a smile.
