CHAPTER XXI

At nine o'clock in the evening, the conference room of the Jingnan Public Security Bureau was brightly lit.

The faces of the policemen who had fought all day were full of exhaustion at this moment.

Because of the sudden thunderstorm in Jingnan City earlier this afternoon, which caused a large-scale delay in flights at Jingnan Erdong International Airport, it was not until a quarter of an hour ago that Professor Gong Yansong rushed to the Jingnan City Public Security Bureau with two forensic doctors from the Ministry of Public Security.

As soon as they arrived at the bureau, the forensic doctors of the two Ministry of Public Security worked non-stop with the forensic doctors of the Jingnan City Bureau to devote themselves to the autopsy work.

After Gong Yansong briefly listened to Zhu Sicheng's basic report on the whole case, he squinted his eyes, slowly lit the cigarette in his hand, and then took a puff.

Gong Yansong is the first batch of criminal investigation policemen after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and has more than 30 years of rich criminal investigation experience. Now he is not only one of the vice ministers of the Ministry of Public Security, but also a visiting professor of criminal investigation at the National Criminal Police College. Among the people present today, in addition to Su Ruo and Sun Meng, Luo Fei and Zhu Sicheng were also his most proud protΓ©gΓ©s.

Luo Fei is a man of the year in the Tanigawa City Criminal Police Team. Not yet 35 years old, he became the youngest criminal police captain in the history of Tanigawa City three years ago.

After receiving a call for help from Zhu Sicheng, the senior brother of the Criminal Police Academy, Luo Fei did not hesitate, he immediately led Su Ruo and Sun Meng to Jingnan City.

Over the years, with less than 1,000 police forces, Jingnan, a city with a population of less than 2 million but extremely mobile, has been able to maintain a relatively stable state, and in Luo Fei's eyes, his senior brother does have two brushes.

is also the so-called "Nothing to go to the Three Treasures Palace", if it weren't for a very tricky situation, I'm afraid Zhu Sicheng wouldn't have thought of calling his former junior brother for reinforcements.

The situation in front of him made Zhu Sicheng, who was weak and weak, scratch his head.

The conference room had been cluttered and orderly since the beginning. Everyone was exchanging their opinions one after another, only Su Ruo and Sun Meng were flipping through the photos of the scene taken by the forensic doctor in front of them.

Squeak.

With the sound of the door being slammed, the entire conference room instantly returned to a quiet state.

Lu Ziqiao, head of the forensic medical section of the Jingnan City Public Security Bureau, walked in behind two forensic experts from the Ministry of Public Security. He also had a thick stack of autopsy reports in his hands.

"You've been waiting for a long time, and when we got back to the bureau in the afternoon, we immediately performed an autopsy on the body. I have just had repeated exchanges and confirmations with two experts from the Ministry of Public Security, and now I will give you feedback on the basic situation of the autopsy. ”

"Thank you Lao Lu!" Zhu Sicheng threw a bottle of mineral water at Lu Ziqiao as he spoke, and Lu Ziqiao unscrewed the cap and drank it in a big gulp.

Xiao Wang, a trainee forensic doctor at the city bureau, had already distributed the autopsy report to everyone when he drank water. Su Ruo picked up the autopsy report and looked at it carefully.

Lu Ziqiao walked to the projector and released photos of the scene.

"This morning, we received a report from the Jingnan Customs Temporary Inspection Department, and the reporter said on the phone that they had found a black leather shoe and a bloody human leg during the inspection of a blue container. After receiving the report, the forensic doctor of our municipal bureau arrived at the scene as soon as possible to conduct an on-site investigation. The results of the on-site investigation are as follows: the deceased was a male, 1.70 meters tall, wearing a really good floral shirt on his upper body and a pair of jeans that were worn to white on his lower body. The deceased's left leg was severed from the upper third of the knee, and only flesh and skin were connected, and the blood on the surface of the thigh had coagulated. There is bone visible to the naked eye in the fracture of the left leg. ”

Lu Ziqiao then opened part of the autopsy report and the photos fixed during the autopsy and threw them on the wall, Su Ruo and Sun Meng frowned in unison.

"Although the deceased's left leg artery was severed, the real cause of his death was a gunshot wound to the chest." Lu Ziqiao's words shocked all the policemen at the scene.

"During the autopsy, we found a bullet hole 20 centimeters to the right under the left shoulder blade on the deceased's back, and we also found a bullet hole of the same size just below the fourth rib on the deceased's left chest. After ballistic trace analysis, we can determine that the two are penetrating wounds caused by the same bullet fired directly in front of the deceased's chest. Although the deceased's heart was intact, the lower aorta was punctured by a bullet. The autopsy also identified other indications that were consistent with gunshot fatality, such as the discovery of a large amount of fluid in the abdominal cavity of the deceased and the bluish-yellow skin with brown hemorrhage spots. Judging by the time of the deceased's death, it should have been twelve to twenty hours ago. The deceased was supposed to have been shot in the chest and died immediately. ”

"What's going on on your legs?"

Gong Yansong silently lit another cigarette, and the smell of the cigarette choked Zhu Sicheng, who was sitting beside him, into a cough.

"A small flap of skin was found neatly turned out at the broken left leg of the deceased, so we speculate that the murder weapon used by the murderer here must have been a blunt weapon similar to an axe without a sharp edge. At the same time, judging from the connection of the free edge of the epidermal peeling of the corpse, we judge that the direction of the force of the wound should be from right to left. Judging from the color of the peeling skin, the time of death of the deceased is roughly consistent with the time of death just speculated. In other words, the deceased's left leg was cut off with a blunt object similar to an axe shortly after he was shot. It is also important to note that the edges of the deceased's fingers have neat calluses. We also found abrasion marks on both the deceased's wrists and ankles. Explain that the deceased must have suffered the above attack in a restrained state during his lifetime. ”

"Obviously, the container was not the first scene of the crime. In addition, Lao Lu, what is the caliber of the bullet? Zhu Sicheng stood up and walked to the projector.

β€œ5.56mm。”

"If the deceased is really a person from country T, a person from country T died in a container of products imported by our country from country L, you can't underestimate this matter. Once it is not handled well, it may be more troublesome next. Gong Yansong snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, and he raised his head to look at everyone present.

"By the way, which unit is this container?"

"Teacher, after our investigation, this container belongs to our city's Yangzi Group." Zhu Sicheng was respectful when he replied, obviously he was more accustomed to calling Gong Yansong a teacher.

"Has the identity of the deceased been confirmed?" Luo Fei, who had been silent, also put down the pen in his hand at this moment, and raised his head to look at Lu Ziqiao.

Lu Ziqiao shook his head: "For the time being, there is no other information on the deceased that can prove his identity. ”

"I'm sorry Forensic Doctor Lu, I don't agree with your statement." Su Ruo stood up, although his face was still green, his eyes showed a firm and confident gaze.

All eyes were on him.

"Seniors, I am Su Ruo, a criminal police officer of the Tanigawa City Criminal Police Team. I got up and said sorry to everyone. Su Ruo's opening remarks were clean and neat, very much like his style of doing things, and he never dragged his feet.

"I think it's certain that the deceased was from T country. Because the murderer once left us a very important message. ”

Su Ruo walked up to the projector and turned on a close-up of the deceased's head in a photo of the scene.

"May I ask Forensic Doctor Lu, have you and several forensic doctors in the ministry conducted an autopsy on the deceased's earlobe?"

"Earlobes??" The expression on Lu Ziqiao's face was very shocked, and he walked up to Su Ruo and picked up the photo on the projector to examine it carefully.

"From this picture, we can clearly see that there was an ear piercing in the right earlobe of the deceased. If my reasoning is correct, if I use the potassium dichromate method here, I should immediately notice the presence of alcohol on it. If there is alcohol here, it proves that the deceased's ear piercing once had an object similar to an earring in it. But now that the stuff here is gone, what does that mean? ”

As soon as Su Ruo's words fell, the conference room fell silent. He squinted his eyes and twisted his chin with his left hand, while Sun Meng on the side stared at the autopsy report in his hand expressionlessly.

"Then," Su Ruo looked around at the crowd, "when we were at the scene, Sun Meng and I found that the deceased's head was shining under the sunlight and there were objects emitting seven-colored light similar to rainbows. Although there is only one eye, but if I am not mistaken, it should be a nameplate unique to country T, and there is no doubt that the person who can wear this nameplate is a person from country T. Because the reflective nameplates in country T are made by grinding the bones of those babies who died young, the people of country T also call them dominoes. According to the culture of the T country, although this domino can bring good luck to the wearer, if the offering is not good, it will also bring bad luck to the wearer. Based on this, no one in our country and country L, which are adjacent to country T, will wear such a thing on their bodies. ”

"What does it mean to us even if we have a nationality determined?" Zhu Sicheng's face still showed a trace of confusion.

"Captain Zhu, through this domino, I also determined the identity of the deceased."

"Forensic Doctor Lu just said that the deceased had calluses on his hands, and at the same time, we found that the deceased was wearing a really good shirt produced in our country. At the same time, judging from the height and physical condition of the deceased, although the deceased was a native of T country, he must have lived in Jingnan for a long time and was engaged in a simple coolie job. Based on this, we can determine the direction of the future mapping. ”

Gong Yansong and Luo Fei nodded approvingly.

"But," Su Ruo's tone was still unhurried, "I mentioned earlier that this earring on the deceased is now gone. Then it also explains," Su Ruo paused, "In the process of transporting the body from the scene to the Jingnan City Forensic Center, someone personally removed this earring that may become the key to solving this case." ”

Su Ruo's words made everyone present feel extremely shocked. Because they know that corpses involved in criminal cases are usually guarded by special forensic doctors and police officers. If some of the evidence on the corpse is destroyed in the process, they know better than anyone what it says.

"So, what do you mean?" Gong Yansong asked with a serious expression.

"I think everyone knows what I mean. Because I was lucky enough to see this kind of domino when I was in the police academy before. There is a kind of domino with a hollow internal structure, and if you pull the lower tab, the gap in the middle will be exposed. And depending on the location of the city of Gyeonnan, I think it's possible that it's hidden..."

"Heloin." Sun Meng squinted his eyes and said these three words faintly.
