Xu Xinger has been a forensic doctor for more than 20 years, and has handled countless large and small cases, and he has already run all around Jingbei City, Yan Ruyu and Wu Cuo went to Niutou Mountain for the first time, Xu Xinger acted as a tour guide for the two, and also talked about the cases that had been solved in Niutou Mountain in the past.

"Have you heard of the headless case in '94?" Xu Xing Erdao.

Wu Cao shook his head, he should have been in kindergarten at that time in '94.

Yan Ruyu said while driving: "The three brothers of the Niu family were killed, and after the murderer killed them, they cut off their heads and cooked them, and took them to the forest to feed the wild dogs, right?" ”

"How much hatred does this have?!" Wu said wrongly.

Xu Xinger nodded, "At that time, I just joined the work, and the master took me to the scene, I was too impressed by that case, miserable!" The three brothers gathered in the melon field shack at night, playing cards while watching the melons, and at noon the next day, the eldest daughter-in-law felt that something was wrong, why didn't she come back at this time? When I went to the field, I saw that all three of them were dead, and the whole shack was stained red with blood, and all three heads were gone. ”

"And then? Who is the murderer? Wu Cuo asked.

"The murderers are a father and son in the same village, the father is nearly 40 years old, and the son is almost 20 years old. Because they are outsiders, and both of them are mute, they are always excluded and bullied by the family surnamed Niu, especially the three brothers of the Niu family who were killed, these three people can usually be said to take pleasure in bullying the mute father and son, so they were killed. ”

Wu Cuo couldn't help smacking his tongue, "Niutou Mountain is not a big place, if something happens, it's a big deal, the three brothers were killed 20 years ago, and now it's another family***** I panic when I think about it." ”

"The servants of the people are still afraid of this?" Yan Ruyu pursed her lips, and said to Wu Xinger in the rearview mirror: "I only heard about the case of the three brothers of the Niu family back then, but the specific situation is not clear......

"You want to ask about the crime?" Xu Xing Erdao.

At this time, Yan Ruyu and Wu Cuo nodded together, just like two police academy students.

"Twenty years ago, unlike now, there were not so many advanced criminal investigation methods, such as DNA testing, surveillance cameras, there were none. An autopsy revealed that the body had long stab wounds to the neck, apparently deep on one side and shallow on the other, with two stab wounds with bends. ”

"Turning a corner?"

"I can't describe this specifically, in short, it's different from ordinary knife wounds, you have to know that the murder weapon is a sickle."

"Scythe ......" Wu Cuo stretched out his hand and gestured a few times, as if he was really holding a sickle in his hand.

"Because the sickle is a figure-7 shape, it creates a characteristic wound that is deep on one side and shallow on the other, and can leave a semi-circular wound on the neck – the so-called wound that can be bent." Yan Ruyu explained.

"Yes, that's what it means," Xu Xinger continued: "In addition, we found several relatively clear footprints at the scene, that is, the watermelon field of the Niu family, as well as traces of the melon seedlings being trampled, and through the footprints, we determined that the murderers were two people.

After restoring the route of the murderer entering and leaving the scene, we found that the murderer came to the scene from the direction of Niutoushan Village, and after killing the three brothers of the Niu family, he left in the direction of Niutoushan Village, so it is inferred that the murderer is likely to be from this village. ”

"The same village? The range of suspects has narrowed down considerably. Wu said wrongly.

"That's what he said, but the murderer was very clean, and no direct evidence was ever found, and the three heads were never found. In a big case like this, the time for solving the case is limited, and my master is so anxious that he can afford a big blister.

The local police station was also anxious, organized the villagers to cooperate with the investigation, and asked us to check the sickle door to door.

The mute father and son are also on our list of suspects, but the scythe of the mute family is very old, it looks useless for months, it has rusted, and even the wood of the handle is cracked, which is obviously not the murder weapon.

There was no progress in the case, and my master and I lived in the village almost every day. I remember very well that it was 13 days after the incident, there was a market in the neighboring village, and many villagers went to the market early in the morning, and when the villagers came back one after another, someone bought a new sickle.

This inspired us, and my master and I rushed to the market to inquire about the farm tool seller—there was really no choice but to be a dead horse as a horse doctor—and we showed the farm tool seller a few pictures of the suspects, and asked him if any of them had recently bought a sickle, guess so? The old man who sold farm tools pointed out the little mute at once.

The old man said that it was about a few months ago, and the two mutes bought two sickles from him, and the little mute was rushing to carry things, for fear that his father would be tired, and he was very filial, and the old man still thought in his heart: Such a good child is a mute, it's a pity! So I was more impressed.

With this clue, the mute father and son instantly became the focus of suspicion, and they also noticed the abnormality, and began to pretend to be deaf and dumb - don't laugh, my description is still very appropriate, originally we could communicate simply with gestures, but when it came to buying a sickle, they either couldn't understand it at all, or they made random comparisons. For this case, a sign language teacher was specially found from the city, but the people were stunned, and the teacher was not in a rut.

Although there is a barrier in communication, the attitude of the two makes us more convinced that they are the murderers! ”

"But there is no evidence," Wu said wrongly: "The murder weapon was not found, and the traces at the scene are not direct evidence, so there is no legal crime." ”

Xu Xinger nodded and continued: "It's really difficult, but one detail still caught our attention. ”

"What details?"

"One night I couldn't sleep, I lay on the bed, and my mind unconsciously lived the picture of dealing with the mute father and son, I remembered, the first time I went to their house, the little mute was squatting in the yard to brush the pot, it was a very big iron pot, it was just a meal, no one paid attention, but as soon as I thought about it, I felt that something was wrong, is it necessary for two people to use such a big pot?

What's more, there was a layer of oil in the pot, which was the kind of whitish animal fat, but I remember very well that when I entered the house, the father and son had just eaten, and the bowl was not confiscated, and the food for the two of them was as light as it was, and there was no oil or water at all.

I think of a terrible situation: the human head may have been boiled. ”

Xu Xinger's voice was subdued, and the hairs on Wu Cuo's back stood up. Presumably trying to adjust the atmosphere, he turned on the car radio. An advertisement for a men's hospital sounded abruptly in the car, and Wu Cuo had to turn off the radio again in embarrassment.

Yan Ruyu, who was driving, didn't hold back, and laughed out loud, Wu Cuo ignored it directly, and asked Xu Xinger seriously: "But there is still no evidence." ”

"At that time, there were no sewers in the countryside, and the dirty water from washing clothes and pots in summer was directly splashed in the yard, and the master and I turned over the yard of the dumb man's house almost inch by inch.

Xu Xinger pinched a small slit with two fingers and gestured, "It's just that big." At that time, the technology was not as good as it is now, let alone DNA identification, and it was difficult to confirm whether the bone was human or animal.

The case became an unsolved case, and the case file, three broken bones, and the DNA samples of the deceased were all preserved, until the day my master retired, the city introduced new technology and built the first DNA testing laboratory in the country, and the master sent the materials of the old case for testing to confirm that the three pieces of bone residue matched the DNA of two of the three deceased.

After a full 14 years, the unsolved case was finally solved, the chain of evidence was complete, the mute father and son were brought to justice, and the murderer paid the due price. ”
