Chapter 68: The Skull Under the River
Hearing the sound of the salvage team, everyone seemed to be sober subconsciously, and at the same time their eyes widened and looked over, this sobering energy is much more useful than any hangover spirit.
A salvage team member floated up and shouted at us: "Report! A skull was found underwater, a suspected human head! ”
"Boom!"
It looks like it's going to rain.
In the distance, there was a blinking thunder in the early hours of the morning, and the hearts of those of us also sounded at the same time.
Everyone looked at the water in disbelief, silent and speechless.
In the desert, water can save the lives of hundreds of millions of people, and in this city, water is also a necessity for everyone!
However, this source of life has become the first place that criminals and homicide makers think of when they sink their corpses and try to destroy their corpses!
Wang Jianfei let out a long breath and shouted, "Search carefully!" Don't miss a trace! ”
"Yes!"
The salvage team shivered, took a breath, and dived under the water again.
Tang Yu immediately made a decision and arranged for the surrounding policemen who were looking for traces with miner's lamps: "It is likely to rain soon, heavy rain is the easiest to destroy traces and useful clues, everyone, speed up the search!" Narrow down the area, before it rains, find out all the traces of all the creatures in the bushes, moss, and weeds within a kilometer of the surrounding area, and take photos carefully! It's the details that matter! Don't miss a thing! ”
"Yes!"
Finding clues is the most tedious and difficult task.
Superiors always believe that there must be clues around! In fact, there are indeed clues, the former detective once said that no matter how clever the murderer is, as long as he has entered the murder scene, he will definitely have a certain material exchange with the murder scene!
To put it bluntly, the murderer will definitely leave something, which is called a clue in colloquial language, and a clue in academic terms.
However, the cumbersome and difficult point is that everyone knows that they have to search for clues, and the details are important, but where are the details?
Aimless!
Delineate the range, inch by inch!
This is the most painful and uncomfortable.
At this time, Xia Xixi came over and tightened his neckline: "Sure enough, it's still the worst result!" ”
Wang Jianfei rubbed his face, lit a cigarette and smoked fiercely, for a long time, it was like saying to himself: "Isn't the specific situation still undecided, wait for the news of the salvage team." ”
As the minutes passed, the two drunks gradually woke up in the cold wind, and Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang were making the next question, asking them if they had seen any suspicious people or vehicles around them when they came to the "big adventure" tonight.
But both shook their heads and said no.
From these two people, the significance of the breakthrough should not be great, my preliminary analysis, theirs is indeed should be accidentally stumbling into the water, and happened to see the corpse parts of the moat that were thrown into the moat.
Professor Wu saw that we were not in a good mood, so he comforted and said: "This city is like this, a city with a population of 14 million, it is impossible for you to have no thieves in the world and a peaceful and prosperous world, and what our Red S group can do is to try our best to make this society better and better." ”
After speaking, Professor Wu patted me on the shoulder: "Bring me a cigarette too." ”
I joked, "Aren't you quite open-minded?" ”
Professor Wu waved his hand: "What can be seen and can't be seen, I have done a lifetime of forensic work, I have seen cremating corpses, cooking corpses, steaming, freezing, corpse separation, chopping into dumpling filling, nationwide, all kinds of absurd and perverted cases, corpses, etc., countless, there are not one thousand but eight hundred sealed cases, to be honest, I just get used to it, what can I do if I can't think about it?" The criminals can't be caught, but they still have to be caught one by one! Don't rub sand in your eyes, this is the professional ethics that a person who does criminal investigation should have! must not only be cold-blooded and ruthless, but also be determined to help the victims get justice! ”
Tang Yu said: "Criminal investigation, after a long time, we will become two-faced people." ”
"yes." Professor Wu lit a cigarette, and as soon as he took a puff, he coughed violently, accompanied by a strong cough and wheezing, almost bending over.
I frowned: "If you can't smoke it, don't smoke it, you have obvious physiological rejection." ”
Professor Wu explained: "Yes, when I was young, I smoked a lot, at that time, forensic work did not have so many advanced equipment and instruments as it is now, and many things had to be judged by experience, relying on experiments in chemistry or physics to study the truth a little bit, and if I smoked too much, bronchitis was old and sick, and the problem was not big, hehe." ”
After Professor Wu finished speaking, he closed his eyes and took a puff, carefully feeling the faint smoke gradually entering his lungs, and then turning into a faint white smoke and rushing out, feeling very good.
The salvage work lasted about forty minutes, and all the salvage team members rushed out of the water to report the work!
The results are still remarkable.
The forensic team and trace examination team are all in place.
In order to avoid waiting for a while for heavy rain, the police in the jurisdiction have also set up temporary simple tents.
The salvage team put down all the things that were salvaged underwater.
The members of the forensic team all showed varying degrees of retching.
There wasn't much to catch.
It stands to reason that Professor Wu does not need to do it himself now, Xia Xixi is a top student majoring in forensic science, but he is not a member of the forensic medicine team.
However, when the two of them saw that the forensic team was not doing well, they immediately stepped forward and put on rubber gloves to observe the results.
I don't know much, but I'm not a layman either.
Preliminarily, this is a human skull, but it is not complete, and there are fine bone residues salvaged out, and secondly, there are some soaked whitish, bloodless rotten flesh, and the rotten flesh is mixed with hair, which can be judged to be a human head.
Professor Wu and Xia Xixi both affirmed my statement.
Wang Jianfei asked the people of the salvage team: "Where is the body?" Only this head? Or is it incomplete? ”
The salvage team shook their heads: "We have been circulating underwater many times, and within five hundred meters of the surrounding area, there is only this!" ”
"Could it be that you didn't find it clear!?" Wang Jianfei was a little annoyed excitedly: "Continue to salvage!" ”
Professor Wu shook his head and stopped Wang Jianfei.
"It's a little bit, it's so cold, the comrades of the salvage team are very hard, and they are professional, I believe that there will be no other discoveries in the waters around here, the murderer even wants to break the head, and strive to really destroy the corpse, it is obvious that the murderer has a certain amount of anti-investigation experience, then, he will never throw the victim into the same place after dividing the body!"
Wang Jianfei let out a long breath and patted the shoulder of the captain of the salvage team: "Don't mind brother, I'm just in a hurry, I don't mean anything else." ”
The captain of the salvage team nodded: "It's okay Wang team, the case is urgent, everyone is the same, we are also very anxious, but there is really no other discovery in the nearby waters, let's go down, it really doesn't make much sense, and the light is not good, I have already arranged it, and when it is dawn, we will expand the scope of investigation!" ”
"Okay, thank you for your understanding!" Wang Jianfei nodded and quickly returned to the bottom of the tent.
Xia Xixi has already done an accurate analysis.
"It's a human head, the face has been cut off, the facial features are not complete, the scalp has also been torn off after death, the current condition and condition, the time of death cannot be seen, according to the size and shape of the skull, it can be distinguished that this is a male skull."
At this time, a police officer next to him suddenly exclaimed: "Hey, hey, look, how can this brain still move?" I, I'm not going to be dazzled, am I? It's really going to move......"
Xia Xixi's face darkened: "Don't make a fuss, it's a small fish." ”
"Huh? This...... Small fish? Wang Jianfei also opened his mouth in disbelief.
Xia Xixi said: "After the skull was seriously damaged, the corpse was thrown into the moat, the fish is an omnivorous animal, smelling the smell, drilling into the brain case along the skull that was smashed and sucking the brain marrow, it is a normal phenomenon, we need to bring it all back, and we can even get useful clues through this small fish!" ”
After listening to Xia Xixi's words, the surrounding policemen suddenly realized, and their mouths suddenly opened, as if they had been empowered, and looked at the serious crime team and a few of us with admiration on their faces! They all felt incredible and absurd!
At this time, Wang Jianfei asked the members of the serious crime team who were searching for clues around: "What are the results of the surrounding searches?!" ”
One of them reported: "A set of footprints have been found in a low-lying and damp place for a kilometer, and we have taken photographs for evidence to measure the size!" ”
Another person reported: "There are surveillance cameras two kilometers away, we have contacted the local road department to investigate and monitor, although we are not sure whether to swim, but we can preliminarily judge that the murderer is likely to have transportation, the place where the body was dumped is more than 20 minutes away from the city center, as long as the surveillance camera is useful, it will definitely leave clues!" ”
"Are there any other clues?" Wang Jianfei asked.
The team members shook their heads: "Report to the king team, there is no more for the time being." ”
“ok!”
Tang Yu snapped his fingers: "Very good, everyone is working hard!" Leave a few people, protect the scene, pull up the cordon to prevent onlookers from destroying the scene during the day, and then go back to rest! ”
"Yes!"
Immediately afterward, everyone rushed back to the city bureau with all the useful clues!
In the middle of the night, no one wanted to rest.
Xia Xixi took the initiative to join the forensic team to conduct skull identification work, so as to determine the identity of the deceased as soon as possible.
Professor Wu, me, and Wang Jianfei began to analyze the traces of the murderer from other clues.
It's just that, unfortunately, as I expected, after contacting the road department, the road department said that the camera is bad, because there are few people in contact with the moat at this stage, and even the fishermen will not come to this section to fish, because of the depth of the water, so, the camera is also negligent in maintenance, and it has been broken for a long time.
Wang Jianfei said: "It's not in vain! At least we can be sure that the killer is familiar with the environment in which the body is dumped, and he knows that the camera is bad, most likely a local! ”
I nodded.
At this moment, Professor Wu spoke......
