Chapter 2: The Case of a Female Corpse in the Woods

"Tsk," Caroline looked at her watch impatiently, "what time is it and we need to stand in front of the police station and wait for him?" ”

James smiled and looked at the detectives who hurriedly entered and exited the police station: "After all, I am asking for help, and my attitude has to be revealed!" ”

At this time, the director Steve's car was driven to the door of the police station by the driver, and Steve just came out of the gate of the police station and saw what the old man and young were looking forward to.

"I said James......" Steve opened the car door and looked back at him, "I think you really gave up and took the little agent here to watch the street scene." ”

James waved his hand impatiently at Steve: "You can do whatever you want, I will give you an explanation whether this case is solved or not." Don't you have a meeting at the mayor's office at two o'clock? It's almost late, hey! ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a sudden sound of braking.

I saw a man wearing a black helmet cross the motorcycle in front of Steve's car, took off his helmet and glanced at Steve, and walked towards the door of the police station as if nothing happened.

Steve was stunned, and after seeing the man's face clearly, his feet slipped and he almost fell: "It's really your James, who actually invited him." ”

Saying that, Steve got into the car and closed the door, and said to the driver, "Don't mess with him, reverse, be careful not to touch his motorcycle." ”

The driver muttered unwillingly: "But the chief, the road in front of the police station is not allowed to park, and he should be given a ticket." ”

"Shut up and get moving!"

“……”

Caroline was frowning at the man who was walking towards her.

The man looked to be in his mid-thirties, tall and, to Caroline's surprise, had an Asian face.

I saw that he was wearing a loose white T-shirt on his upper body and a pair of baggy beach pants on his lower body, and he was walking towards him with loose steps.

Although his hair looked fluffy and messy, and the stubble on his sleepy-eyed face had not been shaved clean, it was still a handsome face.

Looking at this loose man, Caroline secretly said in her heart that she was not wrong, this person is indeed like the loose voice on the phone, and he is indeed the image of a ruffian, but... can be called handsome and handsome.

However, Caroline soon felt ashamed of her own opinion of him, and became curious about the strange man's identity.

"Wang Su!" James excitedly stepped forward and shook his hand, "God, I'm looking forward to you!" ”

Wang Su nodded slightly to James expressionlessly, took out a pack of crumpled cigarettes and lit one, and then glanced at Caroline, who was a head shorter than him, out of the corner of his eye: "You are just enthusiastic?" ”

Caroline's big eyes glared, "What do you call me!?" ”

"Okay, okay......" James hurriedly pulled Caroline, who was about to have a seizure, and beckoned to Wang Su repeatedly, "Come on, come on, go in and talk, go in and talk......"

When I came to the small conference room of the Serious Crime Division, I saw that a case file and two bags of evidence had been placed on the conference table. Wang Su unceremoniously took the lead in sitting down, but threw the file in front of him aside.

"James, hurry up, I still need to rush to the supermarket. The old rule, dictate the case to me. ”

"Good!" James nodded repeatedly, then nodded to Caroline, motioning for her to begin the case.

"Humph! I don't know what your stinky fart is, but I want to tell you what it is! Caroline secretly vented her dissatisfaction in her heart, glared at Wang Su, and opened the file.

"On 12 August 1987, at 10.15 a.m., a report was received that a decomposing female corpse had been found in the dense woods of Clandon Park on the island of Viscairno. According to the forensic examination, the time of death of the female corpse was about 25 days, and the cause of death was a fracture of the posterior skull and injury to the central nervous system, which was caused by blunt force blows. Some painting utensils were also found next to the corpse, and it was learned that the victim had a hobby habit of going out to sketch and paint before his death. ”

Hearing this, Wang Su asked, "The identity of the female corpse?" ”

"After investigation, the identity of the female corpse is a student at Florida International University, named Ashley. Anderson is a resident of Orlando, Hon. ”

"Huh? College students? Wang Su raised his eyebrows and looked at Caroline, "She has been missing for 25 days, why didn't the school report it?" ”

Caroline seemed to anticipate Wang's question, and quickly replied, "Ashley has submitted a two-month internship application to the school, and the date of departure on the application form is the day after she was killed." Ashley's declared departure date was Monday, so the school did not cause them to be alarmed by believing that it was normal for Ashley to leave a day earlier on the weekend. ”

Wang Su frowned: "If Ashley decides to leave school on the weekend, shouldn't she say goodbye to her classmates in the same dormitory?" ”

Caroline replied: "Ashley didn't live on campus, she rented an apartment near off-campus in order to have a quiet learning environment. ”

"Hmm." Wang Su nodded slightly expressionlessly, "What was the victim's life?" ”

According to a large number of interviews and investigations, Ashley is a good student with excellent character and learning, gentle and shy personality, usually gets along well with classmates, and never quarrels with others. In addition, through the investigation, it was learned that Ashley had never been in love, and was devoted to her studies, and belonged to a typical middle-class family education of a good girl. ”

At this time, Wang Su stood up and took out a photo of the victim from the case file in Caroline's hand: "Hmm... Very beautiful girl. What was the investigation like back then? ”

Caroline replied, "That's the difficulty. Although there were not many surveillance cameras on the roads in those days, a few were installed on the way to and from Viscano. Unfortunately, due to the tsunami not long ago, all the monitoring equipment in and out of Visciano Island was damaged, and it was not repaired until the time of the incident, so no video data of people and vehicles entering and leaving Viscano Island at the time of the crime was obtained, and no eyewitnesses were found. At that time, a large number of students and residents near the mountains and forests were interviewed and investigated, but no particularly meaningful clues were obtained. In addition, the Chevrolet car driven by the victim was found on a small road 400 meters away from the dense forest at the scene of the crime. ”

"Are there any tire tracks from other vehicles found on that trail?"

Caroline flipped through the case file and replied, "Yes, but it doesn't make sense." Because the victim was only found by the police 25 days after he was killed, there were many vehicles on the trail during these 25 days. ”

Wang Su nodded, and quickly asked, "Were there any traces or biological samples other than the victim found in the car?" ”

"Yes!" Caroline pulled a report from the case file and looked at it, "According to the report of the traces department, hair and skin debris that did not belong to the victim were found on the vehicle, and these samples were not examined until 1995 due to the immaturity of the detection technology at that time. Unfortunately, the test results showed that the samples belonged to the victim's parents, who were traveling in Europe at the time of the incident, and we speculate that they were left behind when they were in their daughter's vehicle. ”

Wang Su touched his chin and muttered, "So... The victim was driving alone to Viscano that day......"

"Yes, according to the victim's classmates, Ashley was indeed seen driving alone from the apartment near the school that morning."

After speaking, Caroline pointed to the two bags of evidence: "This is the wire that was put around the neck of the corpse back then, and the other bag is the clothes that the victim was wearing when he died." ”

At this time, James said: "The basic situation of the case is like this, what has bothered us for so many years is what is the motive of the criminal, after all, the victim is just a schoolgirl with a simple temperament." Our analysis is... Love killing is basically ruled out, and it is more inclined to vendetta. You see, the murderer prepared a section of wire in advance, which was premeditated, and we speculate that the murderer found out that the victim was not strangled to death and then hit the victim with a blunt object, which must have caused the victim to die. But the strange thing is that this Ashley's reputation in front of relatives and friends was very good, and after investigation, she never had any enmity with anyone. ”

But Wang Su didn't respond to James, and it seemed that James's words didn't have any reference significance for him. He put on his gloves and stretched out his hand to Caroline.

Caroline asked angrily, "Do what?" ”

"Photographs of corpses."

Caroline rolled her eyes, pulled out a few photos from the dossier and took them in front of Wang Su.

Wang Su picked up the photo and quickly glanced at it a few times, then opened the evidence bag containing the deceased's clothes.

I saw that after he picked up a few times in this pile of old clothes, he threw them on the ground.

"What are you doing!! This is evidence!! Caroline was furious, screaming and crouching down to pick up her clothes.

Wang Su said lightly: "It's useless, you can take it and burn it." ”

"Burn? You're destroying evidence!!

James hurriedly pulled Caroline aside and whispered, "Don't make a noise, you just watch from the sidelines." ”

Caroline clenched her silver teeth and snorted coldly: "Okay, I'll see what this stinky Japanese man is capable of!" ”

"God!" James covered his face, "Count me begging Caroline, don't bother him anymore." And then there's ...... It's a shame for a Chinese to be mistaken for a Japanese...

"Uh...... It turned out that he was Chinese......" Caroline stuck out her tongue and covered her mouth.

At this time, Wang Su seemed to be interested in the wire, and observed it back and forth in his hand. This is a piece of wire covered with black rubber, and multiple strands of copper cores are exposed at the cut-offs at both ends, and Wang Su seems to be most interested in the cut-offs at these two ends.

And the most strange thing for Caroline was that the ruffian-like man actually picked up the wire and sniffed it under his nose.

After a while, Wang Su put down the wire, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "Hmph... Interesting......"

James observed Wang Su's expression and asked cautiously, "Yes... The result? ”

Wang Su nodded, deliberately turned his head and showed a playful smile to Caroline: "That's it, stumped you for 35 years?" ”

Caroline sneered and crossed her hands on her hips: "Okay! Then I'd like to hear what you, the great detective, think about this case? ”

Unexpectedly, Wang Su shrugged his shoulders and said, "Problem, how can I have the time to talk to you slowly." You go straight to arrest someone. ”

"You ......"

James glared at Caroline fiercely and asked excitedly, "Arrest who!?" ”

Wang Su spat out a puff of cigarette and said slowly: "Female, left-handed." Check among the victim's classmates, and those who meet this condition can be directly arrested as a suspect. ”

"Good!!"

Seeing that James, who had always been steady, was about to rush out without the slightest hesitation, Caroline hurriedly grabbed him: "Please, you are going to arrest people based on his words??" That's nonsense, isn't it?? What about the evidence?? ”

Unexpectedly, James shook off Caroline's hand, and said as he ran out: "Wang Su, if you are patient, tell her about it, forget it if you are impatient, I will personally lead the team to arrest people!" Turn around and wait for someone to catch you, you tell me in detail! ”

Caroline looked at Wang Su blankly, only to see Wang Su grinning at her: "Do you want to hear it?" ”

Although Caroline had no affection for the loose ruffian, her intense curiosity made her nod.

"Want to hear it? Sorry, I'm not available! ”

After saying that, Wang quickly got up and was about to leave, making Caroline tremble all over her body with anger, and her teeth were about to be crushed.

"You bastard!!" Caroline actually rushed forward and closed the door of the conference room, "Don't go to the supermarket if you don't make it clear today!" I'm a detective, I'm a police officer! Now I'm going to temporarily restrict your personal liberty on the grounds of investigating the case until you make things clear! ”

"Heavenly ......" Wang Su grabbed his messy hair helplessly, "You are really enthusiastic......"
