Chapter 147: Death Message
There was also a watch on his wrist, Feng Yuan leaned over to look at it carefully, the hour hand had stopped, and it happened to be at ten twenty o'clock, standing still.
"Wouldn't that be too arbitrary?" Feng Yuan frowned. "Maybe the watch is broken."
He turned, and the huge waves and winds blew, and the tide rushed up and over their ankles.
"You see, it's also possible that the deceased got into the water after he died." Feng Yuan said.
Jin Shuo stared at Feng Yuan for a long time and said slowly.
"Do you really think so?" He analyzed. "Because the corpse is preserved in sand, it is better to seal it with air tightness, and the presumption of the time of death will be more accurate, and the time about ten hours ago corresponds to the time on the watch."
"Again." Jin Shuo grabbed the deceased's wrist, which had long lost its vitality, and was pinched by Jin Shuo softly, the skin on the wrist showed a dark hue, and there were small oval-shaped patches on top of the tone, which were darker.
"Corpse spots, the depth of these things can directly lock the time of death within a margin of error of a few hours. The airtightness is well maintained, and the dark, damp environment assists in cooling, which allows me to directly determine the time when the watch stopped, which is the exact time of the deceased's death. ”
Jin Shuo's analysis made sense, but he still muttered, "I don't know why it's such a coincidence."
"It's incredible." Feng Yuan sighed. "Don't you think it's amazing?"
"Magical?" Jin Shuo didn't understand what Feng Yuan meant.
"You see, these clues are too coincidental anyway." Feng Yuan squatted down, and the dust soil where the old policeman's body was buried was dug out of a huge hole, and Feng Yuan's hands were digging around like a shovel in these holes.
"What is this?" Jin Shuo was puzzled.
"Sand." Feng Yuan replied as a matter of course.
Jin Shuo was speechless for a while. "Isn't that nonsense?"
"Hey, look." Feng Yuan started with his other hand and dug up a small pile of sand from elsewhere. He piled two tufts of sand and dirt together, and the two were clearly different in color.
"What's wrong with this sand?" Jin Shuo looked left and right, but didn't see the reason.
"The sand dug out of the pit feels a little wet, but it's not completely wet, it just sticks the sand, but the sand outside, especially in the coastal water, is often soaked by the tide, so it's normal to get wet. Right. ”
"That's right." Jin Shuo nodded.
"However, if the deceased was indeed buried alive, or that he was covered with sand like this before he died, why is the sand also wet?" Feng Yuan's words woke up the dreamer.
"If you look closely, the two types of sand are not quite the same color." Jin Shuo also found the clue.
Feng Yuan smiled slightly.
"It seems that you have also noticed, if I bring the reagents, I should be able to find out that the liquid on the sand is nothing else. It's blood. ”
"Blood?" Jin Shuo didn't know why Feng Yuan could be so determined.
"That's right, restore the situation at that time, I don't think it's hard to guess." Feng Yuan stared at the corpse meaningfully and said faintly. "If these blood samples are compared, I think it should not be difficult to judge, it is the deceased."
"There were multiple bullet holes on the body, but none of them were fatal wounds. With these wounds, I think the deceased had just been subjected to a fierce battle, and had already realized that he would not last long. ”
Jin Shuo swallowed.
"Since I know that my life is short, but the dead
In the end, he escaped from the pursuit, but for some reason he could not completely escape from this pursuit, so he decided to die here. Feng Yuan's analysis was very calm, but he said it word by word, which made Jin Shuo feel a little touched.
"Is this possible?" Jin Shuo's eyes widened. "Voluntarily give up the chance to live?"
"Maybe at that time, either you die or I live, and there is no possibility for him to successfully escape?" Feng Yuan speculated.
"Then why was he buried in the sand?" Jin Shuo still couldn't understand.
"He's not buried in the sand." Feng Yuan stared at the old policeman in a daze and said in a daze. "He was following the tide by himself, and maybe he had several holes in his body at that time, and he was bleeding profusely, and he was lying here."
Jin Shuo was silent, he could imagine the picture.
Feng Yuan continued: "At that time, the blood was dry, the body had no strength, and there might not even be a gun at hand. He knew exactly how little he had left in his life. He did the first thing. ”
"What's the matter?" Jin Shuo asked.
"Put the watch in the water and soak it until the hands don't move again." Feng Yuan replied.
Jin Shuo couldn't understand it, he frowned and looked at the watch on the corpse, this is an old quartz electronic analogue watch, the watch head is not expensive, but this old bracelet looks like it is thirty years old. As pale as this gray-haired old policeman. So, what's the point? Doing so won't save him. ”
"It's sometimes hard to understand what a police officer thinks, right?" Feng Yuan said as if talking to himself. "But what's so weird, sometimes they just do stupid things like that."
"You've been identified?" Jin Shuo wondered.
Feng Yuan shook his head.
"Not really, but my instinct tells me he's a cop." Feng Yuan said. "It's like he destroyed his own watch, in order to save more people."
"Saving people?" Jin Shuo didn't understand. "He's all like this and still saves people? Besides, who can be saved by just breaking the watch? ”
Feng Yuan smiled and patted Jin Shuo's shoulder. "Look, don't you perceive the precise time of death? He's a police officer, he has a strong sensitivity and sense of smell about it, and I think he's going to be a detective. ”
"Is there such a god?" Jin Shuo knew how to verify his identity, he muttered and picked up the documents on the deceased's chest, he fumbled through the corpse's shriveled chest, and pulled out a small card holder from inside.
Jin Shuo opened the card holder.
"You're really in the right hands." He sighed, and the card holder was inserted with the deceased's certificate, and sure enough, the certificate said Criminal Police. "What is this?"
Jin Shuo found that there was a photo in the card holder, and he compared the corpse with the photo to confirm that the person in the photo was him, and the old face in the photo was bitter like a wrinkled lettuce.
But next to this sad old face, Jin Shuo saw a bright little face.
Feng Yuan also noticed this photo, he grabbed it from Jin Shuo's hand, stared at the photo for two or three seconds, and then took it back.
"What's wrong?" Jin Shuo felt that Feng Yuan was a little strange.
"Evidence." Feng Yuan replied simply and directly. "Didn't you accurately deduce the time of death from his watch, combined with the state of the corpse? If I'm guessing correctly, this is the death message he left us. ”
"Death message?" Jin Shuo asked. "It's probably a coincidence. Maybe he was soaked in seawater when he died, and maybe his watch stopped. ”
"Perhaps." Feng Yuan stared at the corpse
body, said. "But he did more than that, he did one thing. Before his life was lost little by little, he buried himself with sand. ”
Feng Yuan said, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
"At that time, he should have lost his strength, it was already inconceivable that he had not lost consciousness, how could he still dig a hole in the sand? And what's the value of doing this kind of thing? Jin Shuo couldn't believe it.
"First, the presumption of the time of death. Although I still don't know what the message that the old policeman will leave to his companions when he dies means. Second, that's where he is. The bloodstains are gone, but I suspect that this must be the closest to the place where the incident occurred. ”
"It can also be understood as, the first scene." Feng Yuan said. "The deceased probably made this decision when he knew that he would not survive. He wanted to convey his death signal and keep his body, and these clues and messages must mean something. ”
"What does that mean?" Jin Shuo looked at the body that had dried up like dead wood again, they studied it repeatedly, and it seemed that there were enough clues that could be obtained from this corpse, and it was obviously impossible to get any more clues without more instruments and equipment.
"It's not clear yet." Feng Yuan sighed. "But at least we can know what this old cop is trying to convey to us."
Jin Shuo didn't say a word, he had an inexplicable mania and restlessness in his heart. Feng Yuan's reasoning, although there was no substantial evidence from the corpse, but somehow, he seemed to be able to see something.
Dusk twilight is like a thin back under blood, maybe it's night. Jin Shuo thought about it, the old criminal policeman was wounded by bullets in several places, the bullet holes pulled his skin and flesh apart, and his muscles became like powder, and the blood on his body spread from the beach to the corner of the beach.
Jin Shuo didn't know how he made this decision in the end. He looked at Feng Yuan, the young policeman frowned, and he didn't know when he took out the photo in his pocket again, his eyes were a little hot. On the back of the photo, there is a faint red mark, which should certainly be the appearance of the old policeman when he held it in his hand at the last moment.
Jin Shuo couldn't imagine how this dying old policeman had managed to let himself sleep intact in this coffin of sand.
"It's time to go." Feng Yuan put away the photo and patted Jin Shuo's shoulder, the latter was stunned, and then reacted in time, he staggered to his feet, and looked back at the old criminal policeman lying on the tide by the sea, with a quiet face.
"Just leave him alone?" Jin Shuo asked suspiciously.
Feng Yuan looked at the corpse, sighed heavily, he stepped forward a few steps, bowed deeply, lowered his head, and bowed for a long time.
"If something so big happens, the follow-up troops of the city bureau will immediately block this town, and presumably the relevant evidence and witnesses will also be recovered. I'm afraid that these facts and news will also be blocked in the city bureau, otherwise it will cause even greater panic. ”
"They want to leave it at that?" Jin Shuo was shocked. "But, didn't you say that hundreds of people were dispatched, but now ......"
Feng Yuan shook his head and interrupted Jin Shuo.
"The murderer who thinks of this is just as cunning. They won't sit still, but we can't stay here, and if the city bureau blocks our movements, and we don't even have the opportunity to collect evidence and investigate, then we're really finished. These unknown policemen, for them, these sacrifices are worthless. ”
"Police internal ......" Jin Shuo also seemed to be aware of the seriousness of the problem, but Feng Yuan didn't let him continue, at this time, a familiar figure staggered in the distance.
