The scene of the crime is a free park open to the public, located in the suburbs of the city, surrounded by several residential areas that have only been developed in recent years, so on weekdays, some residents around the neighborhood have the habit of morning exercise will go there to exercise, most of the time it is relatively quiet, and on weekends there will be more people in groups to come here to relax, and the park will only be crowded on weekends and become lively.

And this time, the female corpse was found in the park on such an ordinary weekday morning, which means that the time of the crime should have been in the night before, belonging to the people in the park. When the flow density is relatively small, this is more reasonable.

Because of the location of the park in the suburbs, it was a waste of time to drive over, but fortunately, it was also because of the geographical location in the suburbs, it was cold and snowy, and it was not a weekend, and when Tang Guo and Qin Cang arrived there, it was already completely bright, and there were not too many people in the park.

The area of this park is not small, but in the last six or seven years, with the deepening of the development of the suburbs, more and more residents around, and the supporting facilities are becoming more and more perfect, this park has also been put on the construction agenda. After some transformation, this place has also become beautiful, the original mud pond has been transformed into an artificial lake, there are some small bridges, small pavilions and the like by the lake, the lake is full of lotus flowers in the summer, and the ice and snow seal the lake in winter, and there are also people who specialize in operating ice and snow amusement projects here, which seems to be quite popular.

This time, the place where the female corpse was found was on the edge of the artificial lake, specifically it should be in a small pavilion, Qin Cang drove the car into the park, and found the specific location of the scene after turning around, which has been surrounded by a cordon, and there are a few sparse morning exercise residents watching from afar, and an old man who looks like he is over seventy years old, squatting on the side of the road with some dejection, Xiao Zhu accompanies him, and when he saw Tang Guo and Qin Cang arrive, he hurriedly waved to them, to be exact, he waved to Tang Guo, motioned for her to hurry over and help take care of the old man who was frightened by the female corpse.

The old man was wearing a navy blue cotton jacket, a hat, scarf and gloves, and cotton shoes with non-slip soles on his feet, and he looked like the kind of old man who would never stop exercising in the morning all year round, and his family should have lived nearby, otherwise he would not have been able to drive or take public transportation here early in the morning. The old man seemed to be really frightened, and in addition to his pale face, he sat there trembling a little.

Tang Guo walked over, Xiao Zhu straightened up a little worried to meet him, and nodded politely to Qin Cang, since the last case, Xiao Zhu's attitude towards Qin Cang has changed slightly, and when he talks about it in private, he is not without admiration in his words, but on the surface, he will still be a little unable to wipe his face.

He pulled Tang Guo aside and said to her: "You help me communicate with this old man, what I am not good at is talking to the old man, since I was a child, the old people in my family went early, and I have no impression of memory, let alone dealing with the elderly, I just saw that this old man was so scared that his face was not a good color, and I also felt a little bad in my heart, but I just didn't know how to talk to him." ”

Tang Guo nodded, she is not particularly good at communicating with the elderly, but at least her grandparents and grandparents are still alive, so it is a big deal to communicate with the other party as if they were the old people in her own family.

The two of them muttered a few words, turned around, and couldn't help but be stunned, Qin Cang had already sat down beside the old man while the two of them were muttering and talking, and he was talking to the old man with a calm and patient face, the old man was originally a little frightened, and he couldn't open his mouth, he didn't know what Qin Cang said to him, but now he actually took the initiative to speak, but his voice was a little trembling, and his expression looked slightly excited.

"I didn't expect it to be such a scene there, you said it was ...... in broad daylight" Tang Guo and Xiao Zhu came closer, just in time to hear the old man saying to Qin Cang, "I was looking at the cold day, a female comrade was sitting alone in the pavilion, and her face was facing the lake, I felt not very relieved in my heart, I was afraid that she would not have a conflict with the family, or some small couple quarreled and fought or something, and ran out and sat there in anger, It's easy to fall into something, and secondly, the ice in the lake has not frozen, and I'm afraid that she can't think about it, and no one will persuade her to stop a little when she turns back, and then jumps down from the pavilion to find a short sight in a daze, this cold and sky really falls into the water, and you have to freeze out of your body if you don't drown! So I went over to ask what was going on and give her a heads-up, and it turned out to be ...... As a result, when I went to take a look, everyone was hard! ”

The old man shuddered: "I'm not a coward, I also saw dead people when I was young, but now that I'm older, my psychological endurance is not as good as it was back then, and I'm not prepared at all." ”

"Did you move her?" After listening to him, Qin Cang nodded to the old man, and at the same time asked.

The old man shook his head: "No, I'm old, but I'm not confused, when I find someone dead, the first thing I must do is to find someone to call the police, let you come and check the situation as a policeman, how dare I move the dead casually." ”

"You handled it very well, if you hadn't provided such help and called the police to notify us in the first place, it wouldn't have been so smooth now." Qin Cang said to the old man very politely, "Do you live around here?" Do you have any children living with you? If you have, call them to pick you up, your current situation is not suitable for you to walk back, if you don't have children, it's more convenient to come, then go to my car and sit for a while, warm and warm, and when we deal with it on our side, I'll send you home. ”

The old man shook his head, saying that he lived alone with his wife, and his children were all working and living in other places, and his wife's legs and feet were not good, so it was inconvenient for him to go out for morning exercises.

Qin Cang nodded clearly, beckoned Tang Guo to come over, threw the car keys to her, and asked her to take the old man to blow a warm breeze in the car, and come to find herself after settling down.

The body of the female deceased was being photographed by the criminal technicians, and when Tang Guo passed, Qin Cang stood aside and watched, so as not to interfere with the work of others.

The corpse was just as the old man had described, sitting on the edge of the pavilion facing outward, looking like it was sitting there, leaning its head on the big red pillar next to it, with one arm around the pillar, wrapping around the pillar, and wearing a loose royal blue cashmere coat.

When Tang Guo did not go around to the other side to observe the situation in front of the female deceased, he quickly noticed that the arm that went around the pillar was maintained in the posture of the palm against the pillar, it turned out that her hand was attached to the red cylinder with scotch tape, and it was not difficult to find that at first glance, it looked exactly like the old man's description, as if a woman was sitting in the pavilion full of melancholy, facing the lake.

Qin Cang motioned for Tang Guo to follow him to the front to take a look, Tang Guo hurriedly followed, as soon as she went around to the front, she immediately understood why the old man was so frightened, although she had already been mentally prepared, although it was broad daylight, and there were still many staff members in the bureau walking around, but as soon as she saw the front of the female corpse, she still couldn't help but snort, as if she was surrounded by a bad cold in an instant, There is a feeling that makes the alveolar bones fight.

Unlike the last time I handled the first series of murders, the deceased's front was covered with knife wounds, this time the female deceased was not only neatly dressed, but also did not find any obvious knife wounds on her body, but the deceased's face was purple and red, there were many bleeding spots under the skin, her eyes protruded outward, her eyeballs were swollen as if they were about to fall out of their sockets, there were different degrees of bleeding in the nostrils and ear canals, and the deceased's tongue was even more out of the mouth, exposed, and drooped on the lower lip and chin. This appearance forms a sharp contrast with the back that does not show the slightest difference, giving people a great visual impact.

There is a rope around the waist of the deceased, which holds the female corpse and the red pillar on the side, and the upper body of the corpse is slightly inclined at a certain angle in the direction of the pillar, just enough to support the corpse from falling, plus the arm that seems to be holding the pillar, it is really difficult for people to see that this is a dead man at a glance from behind.

Although Tang Guo said that he had been in the industry for a short time, he was still relatively solid in school, and she knew that the deceased's face showed a purple redness, as well as many bleeding spots under the skin, as well as protruding eyes and tongues other than lips, which were all in line with the characteristics of suffocation, and it seemed that the deceased should have been strangled to death.

Thinking so, she instinctively glanced at the neck of the deceased, and found that the neck of the deceased was a blur of flesh and blood, and now the blood had coagulated, but she could still imagine the bloody scene at that time.

"Strangling people to death and pretending to be a 'looking at the scenery' with a corpse, this murderer is too 'interesting'!" She said to Qin Cang beside her with a little emotion.

"I don't know if it's interesting or not, but it's obvious that the murderer has a deep hatred for the deceased." Qin Cang said.

"Huh? How can you see it? As soon as Tang Guo heard his words, her mind was immediately full of question marks, after the last cooperation, she would not easily question Qin Cang's judgment, but she still couldn't help but feel a little surprised and stunned, I don't know how Qin Cang did it, every time he faced the same scene, he could always make a deeper level of reasoning and judgment from the details than others, and the accuracy was extremely high.

"yes, I'm curious about that."

Hearing the voice, Tang Guo hurriedly turned around and saw that Yang Yibo, the forensic doctor who had just conducted a preliminary examination of the female corpse, was standing behind the two of them, looking at Qin Cang with an interested expression.

Yang Yibo has a kind of heroic appreciation for Qin Cang, this kind of goodwill proximity is still obviously different from Yan Lifu's polite alienation, so Qin Cang is not repulsive to him, let alone resistant, although he is still not very enthusiastic, but he can nod his head without being salty when he sees him.

Now that Yang Yibo asked, Qin Cang didn't go around the bend with him, and stretched out his hand to point at the female corpse: "She told me 'with her own hands'." ”
