Chapter 4: The Hammer of the Dead

When is the human imagination most active?

That's when you close your eyes.

When your mind no longer simply relies on your eyes to observe and receive information, your imagination will naturally increase, most people close their eyes, perceive a dark place, but Liang Chuan, at this time, seems to be able to see something vaguely.

Wu Dahai stopped Jian Hong's speech on the side, he thought that he was thinking now, but he couldn't imagine that Liang Chuan could indeed see something.

The time of death of the deceased was too long, and Liang Chuan's vision remained dark for a long time, but he was still searching, and slowly, he lowered his head, to be exact, he was trying to look down, because in the darkness around him, it seemed that there were still some very different existences under his own feet.

That's a pair of legs,

Not their own legs,

It's a pair of legs in shabby jeans,

It's thick, it's strong,

meantime

Liang Chuan also saw his hand, as if he was holding something,

He carefully wanted to see that thing clearly, but it was very difficult, and slowly, he felt a tiredness, which came quickly, so there was not much time left for Liang Chuan.

Shaoqing,

Liang Chuan opened his eyes, his eyes were bloodshot, which made Wu Dahai on the side a little surprised, thinking that he had sent a small help so that Liang Chuan could not rest well.

"Chuan'er, if you're tired, you can go back and rest first, and I'll call you over tomorrow after the team has sorted out some information............

"Team Wu, the murder weapon has been found. "A policeman came up with a plastic bag with a hammer in his hand.

Wu Dahai stretched out his hand and took the bag, first handed it to Jian Hong, who wore gloves and took out the hammer and put it in the position of the murderer's skull for a comparison, and then said:

"Team Wu, if nothing else, this should be the murder weapon, I will go back to the police laboratory to do a more detailed comparison, but it should be unlikely to be wrong, the caliber of this hammer is basically the same as the wound at the fatal wound of the corpse.

However, there is one thing you have to be prepared for. ”

"What?" Wu Dahai asked.

"It's almost impossible to extract fingerprints and DNA from this hammer, after all, it's been at the bottom of the well for so long, and the well is not a dry well. Jian Hong said helplessly.

"Can you show me the hammer?" At this time, Liang Chuan, who was tired on his face, suddenly spoke.

Jian Hong hesitated for a moment and looked at Wu Dahai, who nodded at her.

"Okay, please put on your gloves. Jian Hong reminded.

"Thank you. ”

After taking the gloves from the female forensic doctor and putting them on, Liang Chuan took the hammer in his hand, then changed to his right hand and held it gently, and it fell down naturally.

In her opinion, everything at the scene of the murder is very serious, but this psychological consultant may be more with a curious mentality.

Wu Dahai has a lot of trust in him, because Liang Chuan played a very important role in the previous cases.

Liang Chuan squinted, trying not to make his vision so clear, then lowered his head, first looked at his leg, and then looked at the hand on the right side of his leg,

Yes,

That's it

The thing that I can't see clearly,

It should be a hammer.

The approximate outline is the same.

Liang Chuan handed the murder weapon to the female forensic doctor, then took off his gloves and said:

"The deceased is likely to have something to do with this murder weapon, my opinion is that if the identity of the deceased cannot be determined from other aspects, you can start with this murder weapon, this is not an ordinary household hammer, it should be specially made by the tool factory, so the police can be mobilized to inquire about the hardware store in Rongcheng. ”

"It's the murderer who has something to do with this murder weapon, you say it's the deceased. The female forensic doctor reminded Liang Chuan of this slip of the tongue.

"That's what puzzled me, but I was sure that the murder weapon was closely related to the deceased. ”

There is a sentence that Liang Chuan did not say, because through the memory of the deceased, he had seen the deceased holding this hammer in his hand, of course, no one would believe it.

"Okay, leave a team of people to protect the scene from destruction, and then send a team of people to start questioning the nearby villagers overnight, and the bodies and evidence found are all brought back to the bureau for testing, by the way, let people check the missing person records in Rongcheng in the past year, and the key words of the target reduction are Jane Forensic Doctor, please give a report later, this will be done first." ”

"I understand. Jian Hong nodded, Rongcheng is a big city, and if you don't give some specific information about the deceased, it will be very difficult to lock down specific targets from a large number of missing people.

"In addition, send someone to investigate the hardware stores in the city early tomorrow morning, and ask when this hammer was sold. ”

Several police officers immediately responded to the order and went down to arrange their work.

"Chuan'er, I'll send you back first. Wu Dahai and Liang Chuan walked out of the tent, two people and one cigarette, standing there smoking, "It's not good, it's another unsolved case." ”

"Not necessarily. Liang Chuan doesn't think so, because there is a very strange point in this case, that is, the deceased and the murder weapon are very familiar, generally speaking, the murderer will be very familiar with the murder weapon, there is this section, this case actually has a lot of hope, since the murderer killed the deceased with the deceased's things, then it is likely that the relationship between the murderer and the deceased is not ordinary, as long as the identity of the deceased can be determined, and then the social relationship should be able to find a breakthrough.

"The body is slick and clean, there is no evidence left to identify it, and it is estimated that no fingerprints or DNA have been extracted from the murder weapon, so we have to wait for the results of tomorrow's missing persons investigation. ”

"Are you worried about your chances of solving crimes?"

"Don't look at me like that. Wu Fatzi shook the ash of his cigarette, "I've seen a lot of this kind of thing, I can only do my best, come, I'll send you back." ”

"If I don't go back, it's almost dawn, and I can wait for news faster when I go back to the police station with you for a night. ”

Fat Wu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and then drove back to the police station with Liang Chuan.

Liang Chuan lay down directly on the sofa in the police station, Wu Fatzi found him a blanket, and he himself began to get busy, the new homicide case, regardless of whether the follow-up development will enter a dead end, but at least now we have to hurry up and work hard.

The police station is very lively, and it is indeed not a small matter of human life, but Liang Chuan slept very comfortably, people walked by from time to time around, and there were also voices of documents reading and making phone calls, but in Liang Chuan's ears, it seemed very real.

He has a very severe claustrophobia, but even if he is a psychiatrist himself, he can't eradicate it, and he doesn't even dare to touch it.

By the time I woke up, it was already morning.

Wu Fatzi didn't sleep all night, his eyes were red, he had just come out of the director's office after reporting work, and went to the canteen to have some breakfast by the way, and when he saw Liang Chuan waking up, he put the steamed buns and porridge in front of Liang Chuan.

"Eat some. Wu Dahai himself was not in a hurry to eat, but lit another cigarette, and the ashtray on his desk was already full.

Liang Chuan went to wash his face first, and walked into the office while shaking his hands.

"Is there any progress?"

Wu Fatzi let out a long sigh, "There is no way to extract DNA and fingerprints from the murder weapon, the information of the corpse is not clear, and there is no evidence to indicate identity, in short, until now, we haven't even figured out who the deceased is!"

Wu Fatzi slapped the desk heavily and stayed up all night, but the case made no progress, which was the most irritating.

"Is this a list of missing persons reports?" Liang Chuan opened a report on his desk as he ate steamed buns.

"Well, it just arrived, the autopsy report on the deceased's time of death was eight months ago, and the missing list was checked according to the characteristics of the deceased, and no eligible missing person was found within the scope of Rongcheng. Wu Fatzi shrugged helplessly, "It is estimated that it is a floating population, and there is no way to check this." ”

"Here, there is a missing person from the West Village. Liang Chuan stretched out his finger and pointed to a photo on the list, "It should be the village where the body was found, right?"

"I also noticed this, but the height and body shape did not match the deceased at all, so it was excluded, and according to the description on the report, it should be owed to a loan shark and ran away. ”

Liang Chuan nodded, but his eyes still stayed on the photo,

Name: Qingshan Zhao;

Date of birth: 12 August 1978;

"What is the exact date of his disappearance?" asked Liang Chuan.

"Six months ago, almost two months after the murder, his family came to the police station to report his disappearance. Wu Dahai rubbed his eyebrows, "Now I can only preliminarily suspect that he is the biggest suspect, and he fled after the murder, according to the clues currently available, I can only investigate along this line first." ”

Liang Chuan shook his head, "If he was a murderer, he wouldn't run away." ”

Wu Dahai's eyes narrowed, looked at Liang Chuan, and asked, "How can you see it?"

"The fact that the body was dumped in the well of the field, that everything that would reveal the identity of the deceased was disposed of, and that the body was deliberately disfigured except for the fatal wound to the head, suggests that it was not a murder of passion, but a homicide with a complete plan;

The murderer has done a good job from the beginning to the final finish, and the longer the murderer with this personality has been in the crime, the longer the body has not been found, and the degree of decomposition of the body continues to increase, his mentality should become more and more stable.

In other words, homicide cases are different from ordinary cases, in case the body is found, where will the target of the police investigation start first?

Isn't his sudden escape like this equivalent to directly placing himself in the first batch of suspects of the police after discovering the future body?

The murderer is not a chick and will not make such a low-level mistake. ”
