Case 1: Chapter 1: Broken Corpses

Next Chapter

There were no bodies of women on the road.

There was only a puddle of red material about five meters long.

Like paint, it draws a long "one" on the jet-black asphalt.

At the dawn of summer, the pale cyan sky is inlaid with a few residual stars, and between the hazy heaven and earth, this huge "one" character is particularly eye-catching, like a wound in the earth, and like a blue pomegranate has been cut.

A sanitation worker wearing a mask rubbed the ground with a broom.

She followed the red substance all the way into the woods by the side of the road.

In the woods, several stray dogs were nibbling on a bag of minced meat, including a human toe......

……

With the sound of sirens from far and near, a flash of red and blue lightning pierced the sky, shattering the peace of the city.

On the highway in Jing'an City, two police vans with the words "Criminal Scene Investigation" printed on them sped by.

The people sitting in the car were all young forensic technical policemen, holding different on-site investigation equipment in their hands, all with solemn faces. Because they knew it was going to be a challenging site survey.

Just half an hour ago, the substation received a report from a sanitation worker that a group of stray dogs were eating a bag of minced meat of unknown origin. After on-site inspection, the police in the jurisdiction determined that the minced meat was human muscle tissue.

The crime scene was on the outskirts of Jing'an City, on the edge of a secluded road. A long cordon has been set up at the scene, and the police in the jurisdiction are doing the work of protecting the scene, waiting for the arrival of the technical team of the municipal bureau.

Lu Ke opened the car door and put a passport jacket with "Criminal Police" printed on it around his neck.

At the same time, the police officers of the technical team responsible for the on-site investigation have already picked up the cordon and walked into the scene of the crime.

Along with the technical team, there was also a female forensic doctor.

"From the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the City Bureau, what's the situation here?"

Lu Ke walked straight to the side of the two police officers in the jurisdiction and asked.

"Sanitation workers reported that a group of stray dogs ate a bag of minced meat here, and a large amount ......of blood and human muscle tissue were found at the scene," the police in the jurisdiction explained the situation to Lu Ke in detail.

After listening to the introduction of the police in the jurisdiction, Lu Ke immediately asked: "What about the police?" ”

"The caller is a lady in her sixties, who was scared of a heart attack, and now she is in the hospital."

Lu Ke pursed his lips and continued to ask, "What about stray dogs?" ”

"After we came, we didn't see any stray dogs, so we guess we were scared away." The face of the police in the jurisdiction showed a somewhat helpless expression.

Lu Ke smiled bitterly, shook hands with the two policemen in the jurisdiction, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, we have taken over here, you can withdraw." ”

After speaking, Lu Ke picked up the cordon and walked into the woods.

Lu Ke had just walked into the woods, and a strong smell of blood mixed with the stench of stray dogs came to his nose, and ordinary masks couldn't resist such a pungent smell at all, so they could only barely play a role in spiritual comfort.

I didn't walk a few steps when I saw a tree scattered with broken pieces not far away. Flesh, blood and water have stained the green grass red.

This is the center of the crime scene, there are traces left by stray dogs everywhere, and the black plastic bag containing the corpse has been completely torn, and everywhere he looks, it stimulates his visual senses.

This kind of crime scene is especially suitable for rookie criminal police officers to exercise their psychological endurance.

After a burst of flashing lights, the female forensic doctor squatted on the ground and collected the scattered body parts at the scene.

A total of 22 pieces of corpses were found at the scene, with neat edges and similar sizes, all of which were square shapes the size of mahjong tiles.

In addition to this, there is a complete tibia, and a fibula that is broken in two.

If it weren't for the discovery of these iconic human bones, it would have been difficult for anyone to associate this pile of minced flesh with the human torso. But once it is connected, it will send chills down people's spines and shiver subconsciously.

There is no doubt that this is a homicide, and a case of murder and mutilation.

"Killing people and dismembering corpses are also used to feed stray dogs, which is really perverted." Lu Ke looked at the corpse on the ground, and his face showed a clean look.

In the face of such a vicious homicide case, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, and the top priority was to identify the deceased as soon as possible.

The female forensic doctor picked up the end of the half of the bone-covered sole of her foot, and a rickety toe hung from it.

Putting it in front of her eyes and looking closely, she said in a deep voice: "The deceased is a woman, and these body parts are all from her right calf. ”

Her name is Jiang Xiran, and she is a forensic doctor at the Jing'an Public Security Bureau.

Lu Ke was not surprised by Jiang Xiran's conclusion, because she was the most professional forensic doctor Lu Ke had ever met.

(The point is, he doesn't know any other medical examiners.) )

And for a professional forensic doctor, what he is best at is finding some key clues in the details.

The tibia and fibula were found to be human leg tissue, and the right leg was judged by half of the foot.

But this is only the most basic introductory knowledge, and anyone who knows a little bit of medicine will know it.

The most difficult thing is that the medical examiner has to find more clues from these corpses. And these clues are of great significance to determine the identity of the deceased.

Immediately after, Jiang Xiran carefully observed the musculature and texture of the corpse, and then picked up the tibia and looked at it.

Lu Ke squatted down, and his eyes also fell on the shin in Jiang Xiran's hand.

"There is not much muscle tissue left on the tibia, it is very clean, and the murderer must be an expert with a knife. Judging from the development of bone and nutrition, the deceased was an adult female and would not have been more than 30 years old. Jiang Xiran said lightly.

A professional and experienced forensic doctor can draw conclusions with just one pair of eyes without any instrument assistance.

"Bone age is measured by naked eye, and your eyes are really comparable to X-rays." Lu Ke said casually.

Jiang Xiran didn't pay attention to Lu Ke's compliment, and reached out to pick up the fibula that was broken in two and showed it to Lu Ke: "The bone cutting surface is flat, the murderer's corpse dismemberment tool is very sharp, and it only takes one knife to cut off the fibula." Moreover, the murderer knows the structure of the human body very well, the method of dividing the body is professional, and the size of the corpse parts is basically the same. ”

"Still a professional?" Lu Ke muttered subconsciously, then stood up and shouted to the criminal police on the side: "Are there any corpses nearby?" ”

"Team Lu, there's only this bag of corpses."

It was Ling Zizhen who spoke, Lu Ke's right-hand man.

He is a criminal police officer and a trace examiner, and in addition to participating in the criminal police team's case investigation work, he will also participate in the scene investigation and trace identification work in criminal cases. Although he is not very old, his attitude towards work can only be described as "crazy".

At this time, he was holding a trace detection device called "Biological Sample Discovery Instrument" in his hand, doing on-site investigation work.

When Lu Ke heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and his face showed a trace of melancholy.

Judging from the current situation, the ground at the scene of the crime is full of weeds, and there are no shoe prints left at all. There are no people on the side of the road, let alone surveillance. Apart from these corpse parts, no other valuable clues could be found.

Lu Ke took a deep breath, pointed to the road beside him, and gave Ling Zizhen a look: "The suspect should be throwing the body from west to east along this road, and the top priority is to find other body parts as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, I'll take someone along the road to find the remaining corpses." Ling Zizhen nodded and said in a deep voice.
