Chapter 260: Bombing
The criminal police speculated that the bombing was probably caused by Chen Zhaodi's suicide, but Shen Cheng and I immediately ruled out this possibility. First, Chen Zhaodi's son Luo Kang also died in the bombing, and generally speaking, a mother would not take her child with her when she committed suicide if she did not encounter a hurdle that she could not overcome.
Second, Chen Zhaodi's motive for committing suicide was insufficient. Although Luo Danan has just died, judging from Chen Zhaodi's performance, she still wants to get money, and now that I think about it, I can still clearly remember the greedy demeanor that Chen Zhaodi showed when he raised money.
Moreover, if a person wants to commit suicide, if he does not have a great grudge against the society, he will generally not choose to use the method of explosion, because the explosion is too powerful and will inevitably affect other people.
"What about the corpses and the wounded?" Shen Cheng asked.
The criminal police told us that after the explosion, the police and rescue personnel immediately rushed to the scene, but by that time, Chen Zhaodi and Luo Kang were already dead. Fortunately, the criminal police and passers-by who were affected were only injured and were not in danger of life. Many of the seriously injured people have been taken to the hospital.
After the explosion, a fire broke out in Chen's house, and when rescuers dragged Chen Zhaodi and Luo Kang out of the house, they were already two charred bodies.
"Look at the body first, and then go to the scene to confirm." Shen Cheng thought for a while and made an order: "Let the people who investigate the scene, don't destroy the scene, and I'll go to see it in person later." ”
Shen Cheng was very concerned about this bombing case, because this case exceeded his expectations, and he thought the same as me and most of the criminal police, thinking that even if the murderer would commit the crime against Chen Zhaodi, he would choose to attack it at night. Shen Cheng and I strode out of the police station and rushed towards the morgue of the identification center.
"Do you believe that Chen Zhaodi is an accomplice now?" Shen Cheng suddenly turned around and asked me.
I continued to stride forward, and things seemed to be really developing according to Shen Cheng's speculation. It is unlikely that Chen Zhaodi committed suicide, and I don't believe that this was a simple accident, and it was too coincidental that a family of three died in a row. This situation confirms Shen Cheng's speculation, perhaps, Chen Zhaodi is really an accomplice, and this explosion was also deliberately created by the murderer in order to kill people.
I have no way to refute Shen Cheng's speculation for the time being, but I always feel that things are not like this.
Soon, we were in the morgue and my stomach was churning when I saw two charred and blackened bodies from the explosion. The two bodies were supposed to be very close to the source of the explosion, they had been blown beyond recognition, and some of their organs had even fallen from their bodies.
There were so many pieces of broken glass and small pieces of iron that they were stuck in the flesh of the corpses, and it was hard to imagine that just a few hours ago, these two men were weeping and talking to us in front of us, but hours later they were lying on the morgue, motionless.
The medical examiner is conducting an inquest on both bodies, and the cause of death is already clear. The explosion produced a huge impact and heat energy, Chen Zhaodi and Luo Kang should be very close to the source of the explosion, after the explosion, even if Chen Zhaodi and Luo Kang did not die on the spot, the fire at the scene was enough to burn them to death.
Shen Cheng and I approached the corpse and examined it carefully. The marks on the corpse were obvious, the skin was open, and it was obvious that the impact and burns were superimposed. After confirming, Shen Cheng and I walked out of the morgue, and immediately, we rushed to the scene of the crime. The accompanying criminal police told us that there were many witnesses who witnessed the explosion at the scene, the injured were in the hospital, and the uninjured were questioned by the criminal police at the scene of the crime.
The car drove for a while and finally stopped, and when I got out of the car, the scene in front of me was a mess.
Even the walls of Chen Zhaodi's house were blown down, and the ground on the first floor was full of stones and glass shards, and some blood stains could be seen on many stones. I looked around and quickly took a look at the layout around the house. This is also a relatively poor and remote residential area, and the houses are not close to each other and are relatively scattered.
The houses on either side of Chen Zhaodi's house were about four or five meters away from theirs, and an explosion occurred at Chen Zhaodi's house, which also affected her neighbors. But fortunately, due to the distance between them, the two houses next door are just some damage to the outer walls of the houses.
The row of houses opposite Chen Zhaodi's house has a total of three floors, which is one more floor than Chen Zhaodi's house, and even the decoration of the house looks relatively high-end. Across the road, Shen Cheng and I both noticed this gap, and there were several broken bicycles and motorcycles upside down on the side of the road, which were also knocked down by the strong impact.
Near the site of the explosion, many criminal police officers are questioning everyone. Without Shen Cheng's order, the police only sent a few experienced veteran experts into Chen Zhaodi's house, and after putting on the tools, Shen Cheng and I walked in. The first floor of the house was full of ruins, and when I looked up, I saw that the floor on the second floor had broken several large holes.
The explosion took place on the second floor of the house, and according to the criminal police, it was an explosion caused by a gas canister. When a gas tank is sufficient, once it explodes, the power is not small, and the large hole in the floor of the second floor is smashed open, which is precisely because of this. Through those large holes, we can see that several forensic personnel are carefully extracting traces from the scene on the second floor.
They walked carefully, and with each step, a lot of dust fell down. The house was already not strong, and the impact of the explosion made the house even more crumbling.
There were no valuable clues on the first floor, so we immediately rushed to the second floor. Seeing the scene on the second floor, it can only be described as shocking. The room on the second floor could no longer tell what its original function was, because all the furniture had been blown to pieces, and all that was left was charred wood all over the floor.
The appraisers told us to be careful, the house could collapse at any time. Sure enough, my feet were on the ground, and I always had the feeling that I was about to fall. The experts told us that it was originally a kitchen, and that by interviewing nearby residents and eyewitnesses, someone downstairs saw Chen Zhaodi standing by the window on the second floor when the explosion occurred.
Smoke billowed from the window, and Chen Zhaodi's hands were constantly moving, obviously stir-frying.
But then there was an explosion, and the powerful impact destroyed the entire house, and many stones flew out of the house, hitting pedestrians and vehicles passing by.
Shen Cheng and I also cautiously walked to the window and squatted down, there were a lot of broken metal pieces on the ground.
"This is supposed to be a piece of metal from the explosion of a gas canister." I say.
Shen Cheng nodded and asked, "What about the other pieces of metal?" ”
Appraiser: "There are very few in the house, most of them have flown out, and there are already people collecting them." The appraiser said, shaking the appraisal bag in his hand, he had already collected some metal sheets, but there were more than so few metal pieces in a gas canister.
Although it has been ventilated for a long time, the room can still smell a very strong smell of burning and gas, through the investigation of the scene and the analysis of the gas at the scene, the expert has confirmed that this is a gas tank explosion, but the cause of the explosion is not known for the time being.
Generally speaking, if it is an accident, it will usually be a gas leak first, and then it will be ignited by cremation. However, if the gas is enough to cause an explosion, the gas will produce a relatively large smell. Even if you don't have a level of education, you know that gas will explode, and if the gas really leaks, Chen Zhaodi will not stand by the window and stir-fry as if nothing happened.
Since the scene of the explosion has been completely destroyed, even if the police have made a detailed examination, I am afraid that they can only determine that the cause of the explosion was the explosion of the gas canister, but as for the question of why the gas canister exploded, the police are unlikely to find the most direct cause.
"It was definitely not an accident." Shen Cheng was the same as I thought, he looked at me: "Do you think how the murderer killed people?" ”
"Touching the gas canister, such as blocking the gas pipe, or placing flammable materials on the gas pipe." I thought about it and speculated. The tubes of the gas canisters are relatively soft, and if in the process of ignition, the tubes are ignited, the explosion is almost certain. But the question is, how did the murderer get his hands on the gas canister.
