Chapter 40: Serial Murders
Yun Duruo took the mutilated photo from my hand, thought about it for a long time and nodded slowly, starting from the bridal shop, all our understanding of Mu Hanzhi stayed on the portrait depicted according to the clerk's dictation, Liu Yuewu is the closest person to Mu Hanzhi, he will definitely not recognize the wrong person.
Liu Yuewu has been safe for 20 years, but after we found him, he fell to his death in front of our eyes, and I carefully recalled the last words of Liu Yuewu before his death.
I know who you are!
Obviously, Liu Yuewu saw something that he shouldn't have seen, there was only one reason for his death, and the person he knew would never allow Liu Yuewu to say it.
This is murder, a homicide that happens right under our noses.
But the secret that Liu Yuewu discovered disappeared forever with his death, and the clues we had just approached were cut off.
"There's one more person." Yun Duruo suddenly raised his head and said. "Liu Yuewu once mentioned in his death that in addition to Mu Hanzhi's relationship with him, he also had a relationship with him, and he was also the director of the orphanage."
Before I could respond to her, there was a knock on the door, and the police officer who came in looked anxious.
"Team Yun, I just received a report that there was a fatal case."
"You take your colleagues from the Human and Physical Evidence Identification Section to investigate the scene first." I can see that Yun Duruo's focus and attention are now completely focused on Mu Hanzhi, and when the police officer walked to the door, Yun Duruo still habitually asked. "Where did the murder take place?"
"Orphanage."
...... "Yun Duruo and I looked at the police officer at the same time, and I asked in some surprise." What was the name of the deceased? ”
"Su Fengmei."
After hearing this name, Yun Duruo and I suddenly looked solemn, and the other person who Liu Yuewu mentioned who was close to Mu Hanzhi was Su Fengmei, and we realized the seriousness of the problem, and someone was one step ahead of us, as if he was going to cut off all the clues related to Mu Hanzhi.
Hope orphan shelter.
Standing at the door of the orphanage, I looked up at the sign on it, I didn't think that one day I would return to the orphanage, although it was not a place where I had been, but I could understand the feeling of living here, and a large part of my childhood memories were about it.
Yun Duruo saw that I was standing at the door and was a little distracted, and asked me what was wrong, I smiled faintly and did not answer, and I was reluctant to mention some things after they had passed.
The scene has been cordoned off, and the nurse of the orphanage led us to a separate small building behind the orphanage, with a total of two floors, the first floor is the office, and the second floor is where the director Su Fengmei lives.
The first one I found was the nurse who showed us the way, her name was Geng Lin, she was on duty that night, we were blocked by a locked iron door, asked Geng Lin to hold the key, she said there was no key, I took out the gloves and put them on, and asked Geng Lin next to me.
"This iron gate has never been opened?"
Geng Lin told us that this is the office area of the orphanage, the iron door is open during the day, and Su Fengmei lives here at night for safety reasons, Su Fengmei will lock the iron door on time at nine o'clock every night, and there is only one key that Su Fengmei keeps herself.
"When did Su Fengmei go back to the second floor last night?" Yun Duruo asked as he put on his gloves.
"Dean Su's work and rest time has always been very regular, after inspecting the children's rooms, I will go back, usually at nine o'clock in the evening, but yesterday afternoon Dean Su seemed to have something, and he hurried back in the afternoon, about three o'clock, because I was on duty, and I could just see Dean Su where I was sitting."
Geng Lin pointed to the duty room and said to us, and I looked at the place she pointed to, which was a room on the first floor opposite, and the window was just facing the iron door of this small building.
"So you saw Su Fengmei go back at three o'clock in the afternoon, have you ever seen her come out again?" Yun Duruo interrogated seriously.
"I didn't come out, because some documents needed to be signed by Dean Su that day, I thought she would come out, so I waited, but at night I saw that the light in her room was still on, and I was going to send it directly to her to sign, but who knew that when I went, I found that the iron door had been locked." Geng Lin nodded, looking very sure.
"Have you ever seen anyone else go in? Or did someone come out after the iron door lock? Yun Duruo continued to ask.
"No, the orphanage locks the door at night, and I'll know if someone comes in." Geng Lin shook his head with certainty and replied. "And the iron door switch where Dean Su lives has a loud sound, I don't have to look at people coming in and out, I can hear it."
"That means that apart from Su Fengmei, you must not have a second person ever entered?" I asked thoughtfully.
"Yes."
"Then how did you know that Su Fengmei died?" I looked at Geng Lin intently and asked curiously.
Geng Lin raised her hand and pointed at it, her expression was a little panicked, Yun Duruo and I followed her fingers and looked up, the place where Geng Lin pointed was the window on the second floor, the light rain had not stopped, the wind and rain were swaying The branches next to it were just in front of the window, through the gap between the branches, we saw that the window was blocked by the curtains, but in the gap that was not completely closed, a woman was sitting in front of the window with her eyes closed.
Geng Lin told us that it was Su Fengmei, when Geng Lin checked the child's room in the middle of the night last night, she found Su Fengmei sitting in front of the window like this, at that time she thought that Su Fengmei was thinking about things, so she didn't feel at ease, but this morning when Geng Lin took over the shift, she saw Su Fengmei sitting like this, and she didn't even change her posture.
Geng Lin felt that something was wrong, so she called Su Fengmei's room, but Su Fengmei was obviously sitting in the room, but she didn't answer the phone, as if she didn't hear it, she went downstairs and shouted Su Fengmei, and found that she was still motionless, Geng Lin was very strange Su Fengmei never put on makeup, but found that Su Fengmei in front of the window actually painted lipstick, and after shouting for a long time Su Fengmei did not move, Geng Lin walked a few steps forward to the garden downstairs.
When I looked up, I saw that Su Fengmei was not wearing lipstick at all, but the blood left at the corner of her mouth, and then she knew that something was wrong and called the police.
I noticed that Geng Lin said that there was a pair of footprints in the garden, it had been raining last night, and the garden became very muddy, and stepping on it would leave very clear footprints, Yun Duruo also noticed this, and asked the police officers next to him to block it off with the garden downstairs, and notified the people of the Physical Evidence Bureau to check the garden to see if there was any finding.
The colleagues of the technical department carefully opened the iron door, and if Geng Lin really said it, the slight push of the iron door also made a loud sound, which could be heard from afar, if someone really went in last night, Geng Lin would definitely know.
Su Fengmei's room was opened, the room was very neat and simple, everything was clear at a glance, there was no trace of the scene being turned over, Yun Duruo turned on the light, Su Fengmei sat in front of the window with her back to us, and Yun Duruo slowly squatted down and looked at the floor.
The floor of the room is very clean, I can see that Su Fengmei is a very tidy woman, I look at the soles of my feet and behind me, there are wet footprints with mud on the way upstairs, to get here you have to go through a section of yellow mud road, it began to rain last night, the road became muddy, and the feet will be stained with mud, which is why we can leave clear footprints upstairs.
"Very clean in the room?" Yun Duruo said puzzled.
I also squatted down Su Fengmei's room was spotlessly cleaned, if someone came in and killed Su Fengmei last night, it would definitely leave footprints in the room, but nothing could be seen on the floor of the room, and before we went upstairs, the road to Su Fengmei's room was also clean, which meant that no one had been here last night.
Colleagues from the forensic department began to investigate the scene in the room to collect evidence, Yun Duruo and I walked to Su Fengmei's side, she was closed eyes, she looked very peaceful as if she was asleep, but her mouth was sutured with thread, but it was not very casual, I used tweezers to look at the suture ends, and I was surprised to find that this is the doctor's usual way of suturing wounds and tying knots.
As soon as I touched Su Fengmei slightly, her upright head suddenly folded back ninety degrees, drooped on the back of the chair, swaying back and forth like a pendulum, her closed eyelids also turned upward, and a pair of red and bloodshot eyes were exposed, staring at Yun Duruo, who was standing behind Su Fengmei and half-squatting just now.
The sudden change made Yun Duruo startled, and almost fell to the ground, I felt her body tremble slightly when I held her, and when Yun Duruo calmed down, I walked back to Su Fengmei's side, and touched her neck to confirm.
"It seems that the cause of death was a rupture of the cervical vertebrae."
The voice came from behind me, and I looked back and saw Chu Tianqi and asked curiously.
"Why are you here too?"
"I piece together the nameless female corpse every day to breathe a sigh, I heard that there was a murder here, come and learn about the identification of the corpse at the scene." Chu Tianqi replied very calmly.
It is rare that Chu Tianqi will actually know that he has been in charge of the patchwork of the nameless female corpse during this time, and he has not complained that he is conscientious and conscientious, but he is a good material for forensics.
Chu Tianqi was right, seeing that Su Fengmei had no other external injuries, and the cervical vertebrae were broken and caused instant death, Yun Duruo's undulating chest showed that she was still unsettled, and deliberately avoided the red eyes on Su Fengmei's upside-down face.
"Why are her eyes red?" Yun Duruo asked with palpitations.
"After the murderer broke her cervical vertebrae, the pressure on the blood vessels in her eyes instantly increased, causing the blood vessels in her eyes to rupture and bleed, so her eyes were red." I looked at Yun Duruo and replied.
After finishing speaking, I turned to Chu Tianqi and said to him seriously.
"Since you are here, you should take it as practice, you have judged the cause of death of the deceased in this murder case, in addition to finding out the cause of death, the forensic doctor also needs to provide the detective with details related to the murder through these causes of death, you look at this murder case, what else do you find?" 360 Search. The soul detection transcript is updated quickly
"After the cervical vertebrae are broken, they are connected by neck muscles and ligaments, and the head should be as soft and weak as it is now, but when Su Fengmei's body was found, the head was upright, and it can be seen that the murderer repositioned Su Fengmei's cervical vertebrae after breaking it, and deliberately placed it in an upright posture." Chu Tianqi replied methodically after carefully observing Su Fengmei's corpse. "It can be seen that the murderer is extremely familiar with and understands the bone structure of the human body, and it takes a lot of strength to break the cervical vertebrae instantly, and the murderer is a man."
I nodded in agreement, but Chu Tianqi's observation is incomplete, everyone has their own habits, and this habit is cultivated imperceptibly, and it will be revealed inadvertently.
My attention is on Su Fengmei's mouth that was stitched, the stitching is very fine, the distance between the threads and the way of the final knot, I am not the first time I have seen it, in the case of the nameless female corpse, the body is wrapped in a wedding dress, and the way the outer binding and knotting is the same as that on Su Fengmei's mouth.
A murderer who is strong and proficient in medical knowledge, and who is also used to stitching and tying knots!
The murderer of Su Fengmei and the murderer of the nameless female corpse case are the same person!
A lot of friends asked about the mirror, but they didn't have time to reply, and they will do activities when the new book has more words.
