Chapter 13: Du Wanqian (2)
Shen Yu was staring at the head of the deceased, I remembered what Zhang Xiuying said, and I also went over to take a look, and sure enough, I found that Du Wanqian's forehead was engraved with a crooked word, but the word was full of blood, and I couldn't see what was engraved.
Lin Ying also walked over, she beckoned to the people in the trace department, took a photo first, and then the forensic doctor dipped it in alcohol and gently wiped the blood stains on her forehead, I saw that it was actually a traditional Chinese word for "killing".
Lin Ying looked at the wound of the engraved word with a magnifying glass, and then said, "This word should be engraved after death." β
Shen Yu also nodded, pointed to the bare elbow joints of the corpse and said, "You see, there are traces of damage at the joints, and the muscle texture is completely wrong. The deceased must have been left for some time after being killed before being posed in this way. β
"Strange behavior - this is not the first scene, the body is still in a pose, there are words engraved on the door of the head, I don't know what it means - besides, the park gate is blocked, and there is no trampling on the surrounding lawn, where did the deceased get here?"
Shen Yu looked at it for a while and stood up, she looked back at the lawn around her, and then looked up at the front, where there was a clump of reeds that had been bent and crushed, but there was a small piece of neat pebbles on the shore from the water to the edge of the lawn.
"The bodies were brought from the water." She said, crouching down again to examine the body.
I looked back, and sure enough, there were no obvious trails of drag on the lawn.
"This case is so weird." Xiao Yu also walked over, squatting with Shen Yu and Lin Ying, and the two beauties looked at a dead girl with full attention, this scene was really indescribable.
"This reed pond is an isolated body of water, with only one canal leading to the heron ditch to the south, but the recent drought and lack of rain have caused the water in the canal to dry up, and it is impossible to carry boats." Lin Ying added.
Shen Yu looked up at the opposite bank of the reeds, and from here he vaguely saw that there was a passenger plank road stretching into the water, and I also looked up, the plank road could be used as a "wharf", but there was no boat on the reeds at all.
Could it be that the person who killed Du Wanqian pulled a boat with his car last night, then parked the car on the opposite side, unloaded the boat into the water, and then carried her body across the water, put it on the reed swing, rowed back, and finally loaded the boat into the car, and then drove away?
If this is the case, the person who threw the corpse would directly pull Du Wanqian's body here in a car, drag it from the lawn and put it away, why bother to make such a big move.
You must know that it is important to dispose of corpses quickly, and if you delay it, there will be more mistakes, and it will be easier for others to find out.
Shen Yu probably thought of this a long time ago, she stood up and asked Lin Ying, "Have you checked the plank road on the other side?" β
Lin Ying shook her head: "I haven't had time to go over yet." β
"Shall we take a look, then?" Shen Yu said.
Lin Ying nodded, and we got into the battery car, and Xiao Yu drove along the asphalt road surrounded by reeds towards the opposite bank.
When the car walked to a viewing platform stretched out halfway, Shen Yu suddenly asked Xiaoyu to stop. She stepped out of the car and walked quickly towards the observation deck.
Lin Ying and I also got out of the car and followed closely behind her.
This observation deck juts out into the water, and when you stand on the platform, you can see the whole small reed swinging in an unobstructed view.
The reeds stretch from west to east, unfurling in the shape of a glass. This observation deck is roughly at the "bridge of the nose", and the place where Du Wanqian kneels is on the lower edge of the "frame" on the west side, and the plank road is on the upper edge of the "frame" on the east side.
"It doesn't make sense." I heard her murmur.
Lin Ying seemed to understand what she meant, and nodded.
I secretly asked Shen Yu: "Have you found that 'logical singularity'?" β
Shen Yubai glanced at me and didn't speak. Her eyes probably have two meanings, one is that she doesn't want the police to know about the "logical singularity" intuition, and the other is probably that she has no clues.
The three of us walked down the observation deck and walked to the battery car.
"Hey," I asked Lin Ying in a whisper, "why did she say it didn't make sense." β
"Don't you see that there are calamus under the observation deck, in the narrow part of the two bodies of water?" Lin Ying said.
"That's right."
"If the corpse thrower rows from the east to the west, he will have to pass through the calamus, but have you noticed that the calamus is not staggering, which means that no boat has passed through here. In other words, the place where the corpse thrower put the boat should not be the plank road. β
"That means he released the boat from the reeds on the west side?"
"Around the reeds on the west side, except for the bank where the body was just paved with pebbles, there were no stones on the shore around the place, all mud and tidal flats. In those places, first, there is no way to put the boat down, and second, if the corpse thrower has to release the boat, it will inevitably leave a lot of traces. Shen Yu must have thought that the reason why the murderer used the boat to carry the body over was because he didn't want to leave footprints and other traces that could point to his identity under the wet lawn, which was contrary to the fact that he didn't use the plank road to put the boat on the mudflat, so he definitely wasn't the boat that he put on the west side of the reeds. β
"Amazing," I admired, "it's really the captain of the criminal investigation team." β
"Of course." Lin Ying said proudly, "You say, when we were in middle school, was I smarter than you?" β
"Yes, yes, I used to be the first in the class at the time, and you can only take the second exam." I said with a smile.
"Cut." Lin Ying glanced at me disdainfully.
"Hey, if you two want to flirt, let's go down and talk." Shen Yu in the front row suddenly turned around.
"No, no, no," I waved my hand vigorously to deny, and then pointed at Lin Ying with my finger, "I have a 100% relationship with her as an ordinary old classmate." β
Lin Ying grabbed my finger pointing at her, and pinched it down, so painful that I almost groaned.
Shen Yu ignored the two of us, the cobblestone road next to the reeds was a little slippery, and we all walked forward cautiously, but she walked quickly.
Sometimes when she thought she might slip, she instantly adjusted her balance and continued to walk forward.
I think it's probably the sense of balance she has developed over the years of yoga.
"Tsk, Mr. Shen's body is really soft enough." Lin Ying whispered next to me, "You are blessed to get married, it really makes me envious, jealous and hateful." β
Although she was teasing to me, her eyes kept carefully studying the things around her, and she didn't delay the investigation at allβdo great women have the ability to multitask?
"You are a captain, can you not learn to be so dirty." I reminded her.
"Cut, isn't it just the two of us here, I'm saying this as your classmate."
"Okay, okay...... Auntie, you keep quiet, so that she can hear it and get angry. I made a "shhh" gesture at Lin Ying.
"Don't you think she's selfish?"
We got off the battery car and got on the plank road, and Lin Ying asked me secretly.
"Why do you say that?" I asked, puzzled.
"I have occupied you for so many years, and I don't even give you a reply."
"Gave me a reply, didn't she reject me every month?" I say.
Lin Ying made a one-palm slap on the door of her head, which seemed to mean that I had convinced you.
Shen Yu, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and she suddenly stood in one place without moving.
I was stunned for a moment - did she find a "logical singularity"? But what is the so-called "logical singularity"?
At this moment, Shen Yu suddenly walked to a certain place on the plank road, then stomped his feet vigorously, and suddenly jumped up inexplicably.
There was a "knock" sound on the plank road, because there was water under the plank, and there was a suspension in the air, so it was like a wooden drum to kick it.
Shen Yu didn't say anything, she walked quickly to the front two steps, and stomped and jumped again.
This time the plank rattled, and she walked back and kicked it hard.
Lin Ying and I looked at her inexplicably.
"Can you remove these two planks?" She said to Lin Ying.
"Of course you can!" Lin Ying stepped forward quickly, looked at the iron nails nailed to the wooden board, and took the walkie-talkie to call the police officer and the park's maintenance personnel at the other end to come over.
"You suspect there's something down there?" She asked Shen Yu.
Shen Yu nodded. Lin Ying also stood up and jumped twice, then frowned and said, "It's true, the voice is different, it sounds more solid here." β
"Not only is it true, but there is a very small vibration and friction sound after the knock is over." Shen Yu stepped on a few feet and said, "Listen, da-da-da." β
Lin Ying and I looked at each other, because we couldn't hear any movement behind us at all.
"Y-you're so good at hearing?" Lin Ying stuttered a little.
"Of course, when someone says bad things about me behind my back, I can hear it clearly." Shen Yu didn't look at us at all.
Lin Ying stuck out her tongue at me, I also felt a neck of sweat, just now I was fortunate that I adhered to my principles and didn't chew the root of her tongue, otherwise it would definitely not be a matter of not raising my eyes to look at me now.
Fortunately, the police drove over with two maintenance workers from the park at this moment, Lin Ying hurriedly walked up, pointed to the plank on the plank road and said a few words, and the two maintenance workers came over, took the nail picker, and removed a wooden board after dividing it by two.
Several of us stood there in amazement, as a piece of wood was peeking inwards under the plank.
But it wasn't ordinary sunken wood, but a small, crudely made canoe.
