Chapter XVII: The Identity of the Dead
In fact, the scene of the seven-handed soul seeking case is really nothing to see.
Dirty, filthy and mundane.
Han Yu came to the trash can on the side of the road and saw the stump arm wrapped in oiled paper, and tens of thousands of flies buzzed around, which was disgusting.
"Nothing special?"
"Nothing special."
Inspector Huang wanted to cry without tears.
It is precisely because there is nothing special and no clues that the patrol room is in a quagmire, and if such a case continues to happen, his position, no matter how much money it costs, will not be able to keep it.
How can a perverted murderer do this?
He has stepped up his patrols, and the police officers have been forced to sweep the streets, but they still can't find the slightest clue to solve the crime.
- Can this murderer do it so perfectly?
"Killing, dismembering, and throwing corpses, all in one go, is there no trace at all?"
Inspector Huang was also puzzled.
Every crime should leave a clue, unless the other party has a strong force - but if there is a strong force to cover it, why do such a fart. What about the eyes?
What kind of ability is it to do it against innocent people, pinning his hopes on an ethereal curse, Inspector Huang doesn't look down on such a prisoner.
If you catch it, you must give him some color.
- The problem is that you can't catch it.
He couldn't imagine what the murderer would be like.
But at least...... This time, the case really doesn't seem to have anything to do with the farmer.
"A few of our brothers are staring at him, and he can't make a ghost." Inspector Huang sighed at Han Yu, "It seems that we really guessed the wrong object this time, it shouldn't be him." ”
Unless there are people under Nong Yuhua to help him conspire together, but he has not contacted anyone in the past few days, and he lives in a simple and honest way.
Han Yu also felt very frustrated, but if he gave up this direction, he really had no clue about this case.
"There is no killing machine for no reason, in Shanghai, although dead people are commonplace, but making the scene so big is simply provoking the bottom line of conscience. I'm going to get this murderer out. ”
He gritted his teeth and hated his powerlessness.
"What new views does Gongzi Zhou have?"
Inspector Huang was helpless, but he could only pin his hopes on Zhou Erya.
"He's been reading at home lately."
Han Yu knew that Zhou Erya seemed to be careless, but he was still quite involved in this case, and he had already rummaged through the relevant information over and over again, looking for valuable pearls in the pile of old papers.
- Zhou Erya's way of working Han Yu doesn't quite understand, but he can always find a way to solve the case.
"But...... This time, the broken arm seems to be slightly different from the previous two. ”
Although there are no autopsy results, from the preliminary examination: "fair complexion, thin bones, most likely female, or juvenile minors ......"
The look on Inspector Huang's face was even more disgusted.
The murderer who bullies the weak is even more cowardly.
"Damn!"
Han Yu also clenched his fists and asked again, "Is it possible to confirm the identity of the deceased?" ”
There are only arms, and it is too difficult to identify the deceased with the current technical means, so this is also the difficulty of the case. Both arms belonged to ordinary adult men, which was the highest mortality rate in Shanghai, and there was no comparison.
But if it's a fair-skinned woman or child...... Perhaps this can be used as a breakthrough.
Inspector Huang's eyes lit up: "You're right, this broken arm is too white, most people don't have such white skin, and there are no calluses on it, it looks pampered - such a character is missing, there should be a record in the patrol room, I asked the brothers to work overtime, how can I find someone!" ”
As long as this person disappeared in Shanghai and all the case files were retrieved, he would not believe it.
Inspector Huang rubbed his hands and went back to the patrol room in high spirits.
Han Yu walked around and asked the neighbors nearby, everyone said that it was none of their business, they didn't see anything, and in the end they still didn't know the point, so they turned around and reported to Zhou Erya.
Originally, Zhou Erya didn't have much feeling about the case itself, but when she heard Han Yu say that the deceased might be a woman or a minor, she suddenly raised her head and looked cold: "Can Inspector Huang be sure that the owner of this broken arm is a woman?" ”
Han Yu was taken aback, not knowing why Zhou Erya suddenly cared about this.
"It's not certain yet, but it's very likely."
Judging from the shape of the bones and muscles, there is an eighty percent probability that it is a woman's arm, of course, before the final autopsy results come out, Inspector Huang can't be sure, just judged by experience.
"If it's a woman......"
Zhou Erya stood up and muttered to herself, her brows furrowed.
"That means my reasoning was wrong."
"You already have directions?"
Han Yu was pleasantly surprised and wanted to explore Zhou Erya's tone.
"No, not yet." Zhou Erya shook her head, "But the seven-handed soul can't have women." ”
The corners of his mouth turned up slightly: "If this is the same case, then it is obvious that we are completely in the wrong direction, and we can all overturn and start over." ”
Are you kidding?
Han Yu smiled bitterly, how could he say it so easily?
At present, there is no clue about this broken arm case, and it is Zhou Erya who has found a direction for investigation by mentioning the Seven Hands Soul Lock, if this is completely wrong......
So how should this case be solved?
Han Yu felt scratching his head when he thought about it, and he couldn't even explain it to Inspector Huang, but Zhou Erya took it for granted when he said it.
"If you're not right...... That's bad......"
Zhou Erya disagreed: "There will always be mistakes in reasoning, and I am not 100% right, if I am wrong, I will start all over again, what's bad." ”
You're saying it lightly.
Han Yu found it difficult to explain to Zhou Erya, "Anyway, apart from your hypothesis now, no one can set the tone for this case, so I can only hope that Inspector Huang's final autopsy results will not be too embarrassing......"
Zhou Erya didn't think anything, he sat on the armchair, thinking quietly, and even forgot to eat half of the mille-feuille cake in front of him.
Han Yu has reminded him in the past few days, and he has been worried about Inspector Huang's response.
It wasn't until the morning of the fourth day that Inspector Huang called happily.
"The identity of the deceased has been identified!"
Han Yu was in a hurry, and hurriedly asked, "Then is this deceased a man or a woman?" ”
Inspector Huang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Han Yu's first concern to be this question, he replied blankly: "It's a sixteen-year-old boy, boy, what's wrong?" ”
Han Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally...... At least the previous judgment and reasoning, the process of advancement, is not completely done in vain, and it has not been overturned all at once.
"It's nothing, just concerned about the identity of the deceased, this is really looking for a needle in a haystack, how did you find it?"
He asked curiously.
