Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Peculiar Murder Method
Returning to his study in prison, Gu Changqing fell into a long thought again.
This case is very different from what I have been exposed to in the past, some things seem to be the practice of drawing snakes, such as the big wound of the snake bite, and such a thing in winter will be very abnormal, but it will attract the attention of others.
The second is the superfluous practice of burying the corpse's face in the earth, why he did it, whether there was something on the face of the deceased that scared him, or was it just that he liked to do it.
Whether it's a perverted serial killer or a fledgling newbie. Gu Changqing was puzzled.
He thought about whether it would be an acquaintance who committed the crime in advance, but according to the reactions of those people in the prison were very innocent, he could see clearly that it was not pretending to be innocent.
And according to what they said, the deceased had no enemies in his life, so why did he die in the barren mountains and mountains so inexplicably. What is the cause of death? What is the relationship between him and the murderer, and what he has experienced during this period.
Gu Changqing only felt a headache, the mess was like a pot of porridge boiled in a bowl, and all the millet grains were full of flowers, struggling everywhere to escape.
As soon as I was lying on the table and trying to fake sleep, I heard someone knock on the door.
"My lord, I just found something. ”
"What's that?" Gu Changqing rubbed his head and asked.
He mysteriously took out something in his pocket, although it was not big, it was just a small strip of cloth on someone's body.
"What is this?"
"I just checked the deceased's body, and this was found in the pocket of his clothes. It seems that he was probably caught in a hurry. ”
Gu Changqing got up a little eagerly, and looked at the little thing carefully, a long strip of gray earth-colored cloth, there were no patterns on it, only the lines of the strips of cloth on it.
"You mean this thing could be a murderer?"
He nodded, "I guess that's probably the case, otherwise, he would have ripped off such a piece of stuff in an emergency." ”
"What about the cause of death, have you found it?"
Gu Changqing followed him to the place where the mortuary was buried in the county office, put on gloves, picked up tools and walked over, pulled on the deceased's head for a long time, and said, "My lord, you come here to see it." ”
Hidden beneath the man's thick hair was a lot of white stuff.
Gu Changqing frowned, "What is this?" ”
He put his nose in the deceased's hair, got up and said to Gu Changqing, "My lord, you smell it." ”
Although I have investigated a lot of cases and seen a lot of corpses, it is the first time that I have smelled the smell of the deceased's hair.
He knew that this old man would not let himself do such a strange thing for no reason, so he leaned down, and instead of the disgusting and rancid smell he imagined, there was a fresh fragrance.
It is like the sweet smell of pastry, and it is like the soft and glutinous fragrance of corn.
He walked over, touched the neck of the deceased, and said, "My lord, look here again." ”
Gu Changqing walked over, but his hand was cold to the bone, Layue was cold, and he was frozen alone in the barren mountains and mountains for a night, and the deceased was like an ice skate falling from the eaves.
And the place where Gu Changqing's hand touched was the neck of the deceased, and in addition to the coolness, there was also a faint convex touch in the palm.
He walked in again, took a long clip-like thing, and went deep into the deceased's mouth, and soon, a small ball of cotton was pinched.
Gu Changqing's expression was not only surprised at this time, but also incredible.
He still had that small ball of cotton in his hand, "This is the cause of death." At first, we were just hovering between poisoning or not, and his whole face was covered with dirt, coupled with the purple and blue face of the frozen, at first we just thought that the changes of a simple person after death, but now it seems that it should be the color of purple and blue caused by suffocation, and at the root of his tongue, there are many such things. ”
Gu Changqing leaned down and opened the deceased's mouth, and he could indeed see the silk of white cotton in his mouth.
But why, did this murderer choose such a peculiar method of killing? Wouldn't it be easier to just cover your mouth with your hands and suffocate? He also asked questioningly.
Gu Changqing was used to touching his nose again, "Could it be because the murderer was not sure that he could kill him directly like that at that time, so he would choose such a way to do it a second time." ”
"It's very possible, but in that case, the murderer should be a relatively weak person, after all, the deceased looks strong and can do some kung fu."
Gu Changqing returned to the study from the morgue and was rehearsing the case alone.
The deceased needed to be controlled by someone who looked much smaller than himself, the first was that the two people knew each other, and the deceased was not vigilant at the time. The other is that the deceased was drugged before his death, and the whole person was stunned.
But if he was stunned, the murderer would not need to stuff cotton into his mouth and suffocate to death.
"Someone."
Gu Changqing woke up like a dream and shouted loudly.
"Tell the people below to check who the deceased has seen recently, and who has known him recently. Even if you've only met once and said two words, or have eaten a meal, it doesn't count.
Be sure to be careful and don't miss any of them. The most important thing is that you must be secretive when investigating, and don't startle the snake. ”
"That's all, my lord?"
Gu Changqing waved his hand, "That's all for the time being, let's go down." ”
As soon as Jiancheng walked out of the door, Gu Changqing stopped him again, "By the way, tell the people below that you must pay special attention to people wearing such clothes." ”
Gu Changqing showed the gray cloth strip in his hand to Jiancheng.
Jiancheng looked surprised, "My lord, clothes of such colors and patterns are all over the street." Where to find this one? ”
"I told you just to pay attention, I didn't let you catch it back, remember, call Yanmu to me when I go back."
"Brother Yan, he shouldn't be here, it seems that the nightlife has been quite rich recently. He is often not visible. Jiancheng couldn't help but smile and said, this Yanmu, who came to Yong'an City with the adults, the lifestyle of the two people is one heaven and one underground.
"What are you laughing at, don't go investigate yet."
Gu Changqing said angrily, and after driving him out, he slammed the door shut, and didn't open it until he heard the sound of Yan Mu coming back.
"Can you come in?"
"Call me?" After drinking, Yanmu, who was a little dazed, pointed to himself and said.
Gu Changqing walked over with hatred of iron and steel, and just wanted to teach him, he was hit back by the sky-high smell of wine, and pushed him into the house, "You give me a good rest today, and I will find you tomorrow." ”
Early the next morning, Yan Mu had just washed up when he saw Gu Changqing standing at the door with a black face.
Without saying a word, he walked towards the morgue.
