Chapter 3: Food Residues
The investigation continued, about two or three days later. The task force officially got together to exchange and discuss their recent gains. Presiding over the meeting was Jiang Chonglang's immediate boss, Director Cui Fengning, who was also the master who single-handedly brought him up, and when Jiang Chonglang was depressed, it was Director Cui who encouraged him to get out of the trough, cheer himself up, and single-handedly promoted him to be the head of the serious crime team.
Director Cui is almost 50 years old this year, but he is still full of energy, just like a 30-year-old young man. According to the usual practice, Cui Ju's first sentence was still the same: "Xiao Jiang, Xiao Zhang, you and your subordinates have recently gained from your investigation, let's talk about it." ”
Zhang Lanshan first came out with a thick stack of autopsy reports, and said as she opened them: "After a detailed examination of the corpse by me and my two apprentices, the report is as follows:
The exact time of death of the deceased should have been 4 days ago, that is, around 1:30 to 3:30 in the afternoon of the 18th. The cause of death was because a sharp weapon pierced the heart and killed him with a single knife. Based on the shape and depth of the wound, the murder weapon should have been an ordinary boning knife, which can be seen and bought in the market. After the death of the deceased, the body is then dismembered by the murderer.
In addition, although her internal organs had been exhumed by the murderer, I found a small amount of undigested food from her remaining stomach and intestines. After laboratory tests, it was found that it should be seafood hot pot and red wine, and the deceased should have eaten about an hour and a half before death.
In the back of the deceased's head, there was a less obvious impact wound, which was probably caused by the killer knocking him unconscious. At the same time, hands and feet were tied, but there were no signs of sexual assault, and the deceased did not have sex before his death.
When the murderer kills and dismemberes the body, the method is very clean, so it must be done by a very professional person, so I speculate that the murderer may be a doctor or a butcher. Also, after our autopsy, it was found that the deceased had had had an abortion a few months earlier. ”
As soon as Zhang Lanshan's voice fell, Xue Ran said: "In the past few days, I have widely published the revelation of recognizing the corpse on the Internet, newspapers, TV and other major media, and today I finally have an eyebrow. Just now, a female confessor surnamed Wang came to the serious crime team to identify the body, saying that she knew the deceased, and I would go to make a record for her later. ”
Everyone nodded in approval, and after the meeting was dismissed. Jiang Chonglang and a few people followed Xue Ran to the morgue and said to the woman who was waiting to meet her: "Miss Wang, this murderer is very brutal, and your friend has been dismembered, so it will look terrifying." But you have to look carefully to see if you recognize her. ”
The woman nodded. So Xu Meng opened the door of the morgue and removed the white cloth from the corpse. Miss Wang only glanced inside, and quickly turned her head. "Do you know her?" Miss Wang nodded while crying: "Yes." ”
Through the clues provided by the insider Miss Wang, the serious crime team finally determined the identity of the deceased. The deceased's name is Yang Qianting, female, 24 years old, and her profession is a contracted model of a company. Although it is a model, it is also a wild model. Posting some photos on the Internet with heavy makeup, revealing clothes, and excessive photoshop to attract men is not a serious profession.
Ms. Wang also said that she and the deceased were only high school classmates because they worked in the same city and had helped the deceased find a place to live. The relationship between the two is not very familiar, but only occasionally connected, so she does not know much about the social relationship of the deceased. I just know that the deceased had illicit relationships with many men, older than her and younger.
Jiang Chonglang analyzed all the information collected at the moment in detail, and listened to the various analyses of his subordinates. said: "Through the current situation we have, we only know that the social relationship of the deceased Yang Qianting is complicated, so if we only start from this aspect, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, which is a very complicated matter." ”
Coughing twice, Jiang Chonglang continued: "Forensic Doctor Zhang said in the autopsy report that Yang Qianting's last meal before her death was seafood hot pot and red wine, and it took almost an hour and a half from the time she ate her last supper until she was killed. This one-hour trip can divide it into two: first she was tricked into the murderer's car, because it was impossible to walk so far, and it was impossible for the murderer to call a taxi to leave clues. The two drove to a certain junction to climb the mountain, which was the first section; Then she got out of the car, first to the edge of the dirt slope, and then the murderer knocked her unconscious, and then took her to the scene of the crime until she was killed. After all, you can't take a car on the mountain road, you can only walk. So we can go to the scene of the crime one more time and calculate the time of arrival, and maybe there will be new discoveries at that time. ”
Without further ado, Jiang Chonglang's voice just fell. The officers of the Serious Crime Unit immediately went into action, and they divided into two ways: one continued to investigate Yang Xiting's family and social relationships; The other way drove to the scene of the murder again to collect evidence and investigate.
I don't know how long the car has been on the highway, Jiang Chonglang parked the car on the side of the road and said to Han Yuchao and Shen Bin, who were already drowsy in the back seat: "From entering the mountain to the scene of the crime, this is already the closest and best way to go." So I guess the murderer and the dead must have passed through here. ”
The three policemen, together with the nearby villagers who had come to show them the way, a group of about six or seven people, walked all the way into the barren mountain. This barren mountain was originally inhabited, and since the murder, no one has visited it.
According to Jiang Chonglang's inference, the murderer and Yang Qianting first walked to the edge of the dirt slope in the mountain, and then the murderer knocked Yang Qianting unconscious, carried her to the dirt slope in a wheelchair, and then carried her to the big pine tree. So Jiang Chonglang also prepared a wheelchair in advance, and on the dirt slope, forced Han Yuchao to sit on the wheelchair, and entered the dirt slope, Jiang Chonglang wanted to pick up Han Yuchao again, the reason was because Han Yuchao's weight was about the same as Yang Qianting, and Han Yuchao was reluctant to live or die at first, but in the end he obediently surrendered and reluctantly cooperated with Jiang Chonglang's work.
After the three of them tossed like this, Shen Bin took the chronograph and the recording paper and said, "Team Jiang, Xiaochao." You see, it took us about 25 minutes to get out of the car and walk up the dirt slope, about 10 minutes to push a wheelchair down the dirt slope, and about 10 minutes to walk under the big pine tree, a total of 45 minutes, and if it took the murderer 5 to 10 minutes, that is, about 50 to 55 minutes. An hour and a half and 90 minutes, minus 50 minutes, that is, the murderer drove for about 40 minutes. ”
The other two nodded in approval, and Jiang Chonglang added: "But we may have overlooked a detail: we got off the car and then climbed the mountain directly." But if I were the murderer, I wouldn't have parked the car in such a conspicuous position, and the murderer would have hidden the car in a relatively hidden location. Let's look around and ask the local people, and maybe we will find something new. ”
The three of them came to a nearby village, and when the people of the village saw that they were policemen, they knew that they must have come for the dismemberment of the corpse that had just occurred. They came over to provide clues, saying that they were providing clues, but in fact, most of them came to join in the fun. Some people asked questions, and some people told these three people their opinions one by one. So Jiang Chonglang and the three of them heard the speculation of more than a dozen strange versions such as the cult version, the mountain monster version, the organ theft version, and even the alien version. After listening to it for a long time, it just didn't work hard. Just as they decided to leave, a young villager said that on the day of the crime, he saw a black sedan coming.
Jiang Chonglang and the others hurriedly asked the young villager to lead them to find the location of the car, where they had climbed the mountain about 3 or 4 kilometers ahead. The young villager pointed to a pit on the side of the road, where there was a fallen tree:
"That afternoon, a few of us went into the mountains to pick wild fruits, and on the opposite hillside, we saw a man and a woman coming out under a big tree. At the time, we were still muttering, saying that it was broad daylight, why did we park the car in that position. Could it be that it was ......", he didn't continue to say, "Later, when I saw you coming, I felt that something was wrong with this matter. ”
Jiang Chonglang asked, "Have you seen the license plate number of that car, and what kind of clothes do those two people look like and wear?" ”
The villagers replied, "No, we are in the high places, they are in the low places." The car was barely covered by a tree, and it could only be seen to be black. The two of them can't see each other, but the man is probably about a head taller than the woman. He was still carrying a very large bag in his hand, and then he was holding the woman. The man wore a black mountaineering suit, and the woman wore a short white skirt. It seems to be heading in the direction of the mountain. Jiang Chonglang and the three of them made notes for him again and again, and surveyed around under the big tree. Since the trees are full of fallen leaves for many years, the traces of ruts are not obvious.
Suddenly, Han Yu shouted: "Brother Chong, there is a cigarette butt here, I found a cigarette butt." As he spoke, he was about to pick it up with his hands.
Jiang Chonglang stopped him and said, "It's a shame that you're still a policeman, do you know that evidence can't be directly touched with your hands?" Shen Bin, go to the tweezers and the evidence bag in the car. Isn't it just a cigarette butt, as for being so excited? Han Yuchao shrugged at this sneer, "Although it's just a cigarette butt, but I also found it, so I didn't come in vain today." ”
On the way back, it was not long after entering the city of Yangcheng. It was Han Yuchao again, and he suddenly excitedly pointed not far away and shouted: "Look, look, hot pot restaurant, hot pot restaurant." ”
