Chapter 625: Resort Hotel
The nature of the incident, which took place in a resort, has not yet been determined, and the police can only conclude that it was a major incident caused by the spread of the fire.
It was a resort hotel, and the death toll was found to be about 30 people, including a few foreigners, so this matter has attracted great attention.
"However, this case did not happen in the city, it was a problem in a resort village on the border between the neighboring city and the city, and now both sides are arguing and passing the buck to each other......
Shu Caiping could only sigh. At present, Binhai City is holding an international academic conference, many domestic and foreign experts and scholars, as well as people from famous universities and scientific research institutions are gathered in the city, and the leaders above naturally do not want a fire incident to become a stain on the meeting.
"At present, our city and neighboring cities are jointly conducting inspections, I am responsible for some work on the autopsy procedures, according to the investigation of some samples at the scene, I and several other colleagues found some suspicious points, but to the superiors, the other party asked us to check again, meaning that inaction is a big thing into a small thing, a small thing into a small thing, a small thing into a ......."
"Let's talk about ......"
Feng Han asked casually, he knew that Shu Caiping was probably a serious forensic doctor, so he had such an idea, since she had found something suspicious, she would naturally go all out to pursue it.
"Based on the results of the investigation of the accident at the scene, it was preliminarily concluded that it was an accident caused by a malfunctioning motor and a paint fire, and the fire suddenly broke out in the early hours of the morning, because the buildings in the resort contained some wooden structures, so it burned faster, and most of the 30 people, including the staff, died in the fire, except for the only survivor."
"Are there no witnesses nearby, or are there any staff members who have come to fight the fire?"
"Nope. The resort had just been completed for a short time, and it was impossible to officially open it according to regulations, so in addition to the ten staff members, most of the twenty guests were holding the hospitality vouchers of the Cologne Group behind the resort to enter the experience in advance. ”
Shu Caiping shook her head, but the resort hotel had not yet started operating, and this happened as a result, and she was really unlucky.
"The first to arrive was the nearby fire brigade. But it was too late for them to arrive, and everyone else was dead except for the survivor who was trapped in the fire......"
"Well, the survivor is still alive!"
Since Feng Han felt that there was something suspicious, it was possible to investigate through this survivor.
"No way, vegetative person, you know...... Except for some instinctive nerve reflexes and the ability to metabolize matter and energy, the person has completely lost his cognitive abilities and has no active activity, and he has been lying in bed in a coma for seven or eight days. There's no way to say for sure he'll wake up......"
It should be a short-term cerebral shock caused by hypoxia, although the person was saved, but he has not been able to wake up, and he has been in a vegetative state. This also makes the investigation more difficult.
"There is almost no progress, but there are doubts, and I am very opposed to the reckless approach of the superiors, if they directly conclude that this is a fire, then the suspicions will be covered up......"
"Exactly. What did you find suspicious? Feng Han stopped and waited for the red light, hung up his headphones and asked.
"Actually, because the fire was too big. The scene has basically been destroyed, we can't restore the situation at that time, there are about thirty-two people who died, ten people are staff members, and there are twenty-two guests registered on the list, but the problem is ...... One more person. ”
Shu Caiping took a deep breath. "There is an unknown man's body, this is not a registered guest, nor is it a staff member of the resort, so far we have not been able to find out his true identity......"
"Aren't you a guest at the resort? Or is it a staff member who is not on the staff? ”
This is indeed a doubt, but it is not a particularly important one, is it?
"We asked the person in charge of the Cologne Group for verification. Lin Jingchen, the person in charge, claimed that there was no 33rd person, because they only invited 22 guests into the resort, and at the same time, there was no 11th staff member, because the staff of the resort were currently living in a group dormitory and there were no redundant staff, so this 33rd person was an unknown person. ”
"Unidentified?" Feng Han chewed on the word, feeling an indescribable taste.
"If it's just an unknown deceased, then it's not suspicious, but more importantly...... It was a premeditated murder, as the body of the last thirty-third man clearly showed signs of trauma from being killed......"
"Since there are so many suspicions, and it is an unnatural death, you should be able to report to your superiors!"
The work of the medical examiner is basically as follows, starting with an investigation and on-site investigation to make an inference to determine whether an "unnatural death case" is a homicide or not.
If it is determined that it is a homicide, then further autopsy examination and in-depth investigation are required, otherwise, it will not constitute a case, and the body will be returned to the family.
"The question is...... Some people probably don't want to make a big deal out of it, and they ask us not to talk about any murders if we don't have clear evidence to prove it......" Shu Caiping was annoyed, when did the police department rise up such a heavy bureaucratic style, she had heard that the police station here was not good when she came to the Binhai City Bureau, but she didn't expect it to be so bad.
"Isn't there a wound?" Feng Han thought about it and thought that this should be a breakthrough.
"The above said that it was a tentative wound, which may have been left by the deceased himself, which means that the other party was preparing to commit suicide."
Shu Caiping could only shake her head and smile bitterly, tentative suicide is a term in forensic science, a kind of attempted injury during suicide, mostly fatal wounds with one or more similar wounds parallel to the wound next to the wound.
Some suicide victims will find multiple killings on their bodies after death, which makes ordinary people wonder whether it is suicide or not.
However, through forensic investigation and inference, these wounds were actually caused by the suicide victim, which sounds very strange, but it is indeed the real conclusion reached by the forensic examination.
In fact, this is a completely credible thing, for example, taking the pulse cutting as an example, in fact, the suicide person has successfully cut the pulse, the artery must be cut, and the human wound will coagulate and stop bleeding, which is due to the effect of platelets. Those who cut their veins in TV dramas will soak their hands in warm water, one to promote blood outflow and the other to stop blood clotting. …… Therefore, the suicide may not succeed in the first operation, and there will be follow-up trial trauma.
"I'm a forensic doctor myself, and if I can't even tell the difference between the trauma and the real trauma, then I don't have to do this anymore, but unfortunately the burns on that body are very high, and further evidence cannot be obtained......
Shu Caiping thought for a while and said: "Because the above wanted to give up the investigation, I only told Shang Xiuheng about this matter, and he said that if he wants to continue the investigation, he must obtain more important clues and evidence of the case, so he asked me to come to you." ”
Feng Han was silent, to be honest, although Shu Caiping came to him, he didn't want to get involved in these cases anymore......
"By the way, Shang Xiuheng also said that it was not suitable for you to find this case, but there was something that made him change his mind, and he asked me to show you this photo."
Shu Caiping quickly sent a photo to his mobile phone, and the moment Feng Han saw the photo, he suddenly stepped on the brakes and stopped his car.
- It turned out to be this symbol! A red ripple flashed in the pupils of his eyes, and he saw a tattoo of a black cross, a tattoo on a wrist.
"Although it's a little blurry, the photo is basically taken, it's really a strange tattoo ......" Shu Caiping's words brought Feng Han back to his senses.
Feng Han's tone was a little stiff and asked, "Is this a tattoo on the deceased?" ”
"Yes!"
Shu Caiping replied calmly, but her tone was a little puzzled: "Shang Xiuheng said that you are an expert in this area, but will this tattoo really have anything to do with the case?" ”
What evidence can a tattoo be?
Could this tattoo change the nature of the case and allow Shu Caiping to find some clues to prove that this is a murder case?
"I don't know, but I'm afraid it's not as simple as we think......"
Since the matter is related to He Ju and the mysterious cult, then the problem is not so simple.
And it is precisely because of the appearance of this "tattoo" that Feng Han feels that he needs to pay attention to it.
"So, what do you think of this case?"
Feng Han tried to ask Shu Caiping, he wanted to understand some of the situation from different angles, maybe Shu Caiping could put forward a common opinion.
"The thirty-third person is the victim, although it is not clear who killed him, but the murderer is in the resort ......"
About seven days ago, on the night of the fire, the entire resort's hotel was effectively an island, according to Shu.
Located at the crossroads of two cities, this resort is a resort-style manor hotel in the middle of a dense forest. Although the scenery is beautiful, surrounded by green mountains and green waters, there is no village in front of it, and there is no land in the back, which is really a good place to kill people and throw corpses.
Of course, this is a joke, the traffic here is still very convenient, the highway is nearby, and the intercity vehicles are also on the road outside the resort, after the fire broke out, there are no residential areas nearby, and there are no humans, at first it did not attract the attention of others, and then the passing vehicles found the problem and quickly pulled out the fire alarm.
It's a pity that the good time to put out the fire was missed, which led to the tragedy. (To be continued......)
