In fact, in the fire, most people have choked to death by the high temperature smoke before they are burned to death. Forensic doctors will find large amounts of soot powder in the respiratory tract, which is also an important method used to distinguish between pre-mortem and postmortem cremation.

Jiang Chonglang and Zhang Lanshan flipped through the file page by page, and there were many photos of the crime scene and the corpse.

Judging from the photos: The bedroom of Ye Xia and his wife has not been seriously searched, and it seems that the murderer is very clear about the location of the things he is looking for. Ye Lili said beside him: "In my memory, my father would put some very important things in the drawer under the table. Among them, his is on the left, and my mother's is on the right. ”

Although 16 years have passed, Ye Lili is also the first time to see the photos at that time. In the photo, two charred corpses are lying on the bed, they are Ye Lili's parents. Seeing these photos, Ye Lili couldn't help but cry. Han Yuchao saw her like this, and hurriedly walked over to comfort her.

The two of them looked at each other, and suddenly Zhang Lanshan pointed to a photo and said, "Hey, why is there bleeding on both sides of the deceased's neck, and his thyroid cartilage seems to be fractured." ”

Hearing her say this, everyone quickly gathered around. Zhang Lanshan pointed to a photo, which was the autopsy of the corpse.

"You see, there was blood on the neck muscles of the deceased, but it wasn't much. It shows that he was strangled by his neck with both hands before he died, but judging from the amount of bleeding, it seems that the strength is not large enough to cause fatality. ”

Zhang Lanshan flipped back again: "Look, this photo." This is supposed to be another deceased: although his scalp was burned, an incision of his scalp revealed a small wound under the scalp, but the periosteum was not injured, indicating that the wound was not fatal. It must have been caused by someone pushing against the wall and hitting the back of the head. ”

Zhang Lanshan continued: "These two photos can show that the two deceased had an argument with someone before they died. But both of them were already drunk, so they didn't have the strength to fight the murderer. The murderer pinched like this, and then pushed, and the two people fell, and then the murderer set a fire, and the two couples would definitely die. Didn't these forensic doctors detect it back then, it's obviously very likely to be a murder case, haven't you all found it? ”

Wang Li and Hu Ding carefully picked up the photos and looked at them, then shook their heads and said: "The criminal investigation technology back then was not what it is now, and besides, we are still a small town, so it is even less developed. Moreover, there have not been many homicides in Zhusu Town for so many years, so the forensic doctors here rarely have the opportunity to go to the scene to dissect the corpse. I remember that the autopsy was performed by an old forensic doctor, who was almost 60 years old, and he said that he had not dissected a corpse for many years, and his knowledge was almost forgotten, so he did not see it at the time, and it is very possible. ”

It seems that the fire 16 years ago can be defined as an intentional arson homicide. Jiang Chonglang immediately called Director Cui and told him about the situation.

Director Cui said with a smile after hearing him: "Chong Lang, why did you go to help others do voluntary labor again, but this has always been your character." Okay, since you want to look it up, you can check it. If you need my help, just call me. There are also Xue Ran, Xu Meng, Wen Caiyu and so on. But let me remind you not to go to the hospital again, like last time. None of you Crime Squad have ever been in the hospital. ”

"Cui Ju, I know, don't worry. I'm sure I'm going to leave happily and come back safely. The soldiers you bring out will never cause you any trouble. ”

"It's good if you know, finish it early, come back early."

Putting down the phone, Jiang Chonglang said to Wang Li and Hu Ding: "Officer Wang, Officer Hu." In the past few days, you should collect as soon as possible the information on the arson case of that year, and the more detailed the better. There are also witnesses from that year, I don't know how many are still alive, you try to find them all. Let's take a look at the dossier and see if we can find any new clues. ”

Han Yuchao answered: "I'll go to Lin Mingkai to ask, although his father Lin Daohan has passed away. But since he has the heart to repent, then he must do something. If you look along these lines, you might find something. ”

Jiang Chonglang nodded: "Lan Shan and I will take a closer look at the dossier of the year to see if there are any new discoveries." ”

The next day, Han Yuchao, Ye Lili, and Hu Ding came to Lin Mingkai's house, and Lin Mingkai seemed to be prepared for their arrival. As soon as he saw them coming, he said directly: "You are the police, you are here to ask about my father." ”

Han Yuchao replied: "Yes, we have concluded that the arson case was not an accident but a murder. So everything you say now has to be deliberate, because they have the potential to become evidence in court. ”

Lin Mingkai nodded and said: "Present evidence in court, isn't this what is often said in Hong Kong TV dramas." Comrade policeman, I know what you said. My father has been depressed for so many years, and he has been living in self-blame. I think if he hadn't blamed himself so much, he probably wouldn't have developed cancer so early and left so early. Comrade policeman, if you want to ask whatever you want, I will not hide anything I know. ”

As he spoke, Lin began to recall the past: "I remember when I was a child, when I was about 11 or 12 years old. My grandfather was seriously ill and needed a lot of money to be cured. But at that time, our family was very poor, and there would be so much money there, so my father had to work several jobs every day, leaving early and returning late every day to earn money. My mom owned a small store at the time and later applied to run a lottery station. So at that time, my dad would draw less than ten dollars a week, buy a few lottery tickets, and sometimes win a small prize, but at most it didn't exceed 10,000 yuan. In this way, he can still maintain the family's expenses and save money to treat his grandfather.

But two years later, my grandfather's condition suddenly deteriorated dramatically, and the doctor said that he had to have surgery immediately. The cost of surgery is a lot of money, and my family can't afford it. During that time, my father sighed every day, and his hair was almost gray.

But one day, I noticed that my dad seemed to get together with two men a lot, and the three of them were discussing something in our house. When I walked in to look for him, my dad would kick me out very harshly. And after that day, my grandfather actually had the money to prepare for surgery.
