Chapter 27: The Old Lai (2)
"The deceased was a young man, more than 1.80 meters tall, with a strong physique and a ...... upper body Warm clothes, sweaters, black leather jackets, lower body warm pants, jeans...... Thick enough......
The phenomenon of corrupt giants is serious, and many tissues have fallen off, judging from the condition of clothing and corpses, the time of death is more than two months......"
At the scene of the crime, Mink Fang squatted in front of a corpse and said while inspecting it.
Wu Duan took over and said: "At the end of January and the beginning of February, when the weather was the coldest time, it was in line with the clothing of the deceased.
The question is, why did he come to the lake in the middle of winter? ”
The place where the few people were at this time was a dilapidated building next to Antler Lake.
Antler Lake is located southeast of the city of Mo, and from the map, it is shaped like antlers, hence the name.
It's a great place to relax, with boats on the lake in the summer, and a number of farmhouses on the islands in the middle of the lake, where you can fish and enjoy the lake's fish and shrimp and other delicacies.
The building where they lived was nothing more than a leaky adobe house, with three of the four walls sloping and one half collapsed.
There were only a few straw mats on the roof, and there were three or four holes the size of bowls.
There is a foul smell around the house, and it seems that this place is often used as a "public toilet".
Fortunately, the house is too dilapidated and dirty, and people are probably too lazy to walk in, so it is not really convenient to be inside, but just to treat it as a wall, which is convenient around it, so that it can play a role in some shelter.
Wu Duan found two plastic strapping ropes in the house, one of which was tied into a circle, obviously showing signs of being pulled, and the red strapping rope was stretched and a little whitish.
Another ...... Looks like it's been bitten off.
Wu Duan immediately approached the corpse to look at the wrists and ankles.
Mink Fang said: "Don't look at it, I have checked it, and there are no restraint injuries."
Wu Duan still put the two strapping ropes into the evidence bag.
"Can you tell where the fatal wound is?" Wu Duan asked.
"The corpse has a high degree of decomposition, and it is difficult to judge whether there are injuries on the body, but look here......" Mink Fang pointed to the corpse's head, "Here on the left, do you see it?" ”
"Well, there's a depression, like a blunt blow, and ......" Wu reached his hand and touched the hair around the wound, "It's ......"
A small amount of red powder was glued to his rubber gloves.
"It's a brick, and the murder weapon is a brick." Mink Fang is quite experienced.
Wu Duan immediately got up and glanced around, because one wall had collapsed in half, and a lot of bricks had fallen on the ground inside and outside the house.
He picked it up piece by piece and examined it carefully......
While Wu Duan was busy, Yan Sixian was questioning the informant.
The informant is a young couple who took advantage of the weekend to drive to the lake and brought a golden retriever dog.
At this time, the woman and the dog stood far away, not daring to look this way at all, and the man described to Yan Sixian:
"Seven ran in there and didn't come out - oh, our dog called seven - it didn't work, so I followed...... The results at a glance...... Oh my god......
In the summer, we always play here, and it was okay for a while, and nothing happened, but as soon as the winter came, there were fewer people in the cold weather, and when the lake froze, the fishing did not come, and the neighborhood was like a heavy snow covering the mountains, and a person may not be able to come in winter, and the ghost knows what happened to the dead man, and I was scared to death......"
"You seem to know this place well." Yan Sixian said.
"Hey, I grew up here when I was a kid." The man raised his hand and pointed to the high-rise buildings under construction on the nearby hillside, "Our family used to live there, in the countryside, and we played with the lake all day long. ”
Having already asked the two of them how they found the body, there was no doubt, Yan Sixian didn't plan to continue to waste time, he handed over a business card and said: "Thank you for your cooperation, if you think of any clues, please feel free to contact us."
"No problem." The man took the business card, stayed for less, and soon returned to his girlfriend.
……
Before eating at noon, Wu Duan found a piece with a small amount of blood stains in a pile of bricks, and there were no other clues except for the bricks and the binding rope.
The brick surface is rough and does not have the conditions to leave fingerprints, and the walls and floors are also rough and dirty. Especially on the ground, when the snow melted, there was no lack of water leaking into the roof, and the entire floor was washed again, and there were traces of some stagnant water drying up, and there were no footprints.
Wu Duan had no choice but to organize people to investigate around the house, hoping to find some footprints in the wasteland.
By the end of the afternoon, no valuable clues had been found.
On the way back, Feng Xiaoxiang handed the tablet to Wu Duan, "Team Wu, I checked the disappearance report records of Mocheng from January to the present, and found three missing messages similar to the deceased, do you want to contact the family to identify the body?" ”
"Three-of-a-kind? How long has it been, are you saying that there are three missing people just in line with the situation of the deceased? ”
"Hmm."
Wu Duan instinctively felt that something was not right, "Then you first check the total number of missing people in the past few months and compare it with the previous ones." ”
"Okay, let's check the three months of one, two, three, and the number of missing people, regardless of men, women, and children, is 272 in total, compared with the previous three months...... No way?! That's more than double the previous three months! ”
Wu Duan groaned slightly, "This comparison is not accurate, after all, there is a Chinese New Year in the middle, and there are many floating populations during the Chinese New Year."
So, you can compare it to January, February and March last year. ”
"Okay," there was another crackling keyboard, Feng Xiaoxiang said: "Something is wrong, compared with the same period last year, there are 107 more missing people."
Wait a minute, I'll look at the year before last...... Well, last year's situation was similar to the year before, except that this year's number of missing people suddenly skyrocketed. ”
Wu Duan furrowed his brows, "That's it, I'll contact the family to identify the body, Xiaoxiao, you have a new task." ”
"Analyze the reasons for the explosion in the number of missing persons?"
"Well, let's see who the missing people are, and if there are any common characteristics, this abnormal data change...... I'm worried that it's some kind of organized crime, such as pyramid schemes that restrict personal freedom, or reselling human organs......"
"Understood," Feng Xiaoxiang looked down at the computer screen, "I'll get a result as soon as possible." ”
Feng Xiaoxiang's business ability Wu Duan is still very relieved, and after giving the task, he will focus on the case at hand.
……
The process of identifying the body is a huge torture for both the criminal police and the families of the missing.
Of course, the families do not want the bodies to be their own, no, at least they can expect the missing to be "alive".
Of course, the criminal police hope to find the source of the body as soon as possible, but they can't bear to see the family members cut off their livers and intestines.
At the door of the autopsy room, the three groups of families were silent, tacitly expecting each other to recognize the bodies.
The first group to enter the autopsy room to identify the corpse was a couple in their 40s, and when they entered the door for a short time, there was a sound of crying and grabbing the ground, and the two groups of families outside the door looked at each other, and they both saw the meaning of relief in each other's eyes.
It seems that the source of the corpse has been found.
