Chapter 17: Burying the Dead in the Woods
Birth, old age, sickness and death, the principle of nature. It is also a norm for nursing homes to encounter the death of the elderly.
And as a staff member of a nursing home, there must be a way to deal with it.
But when Lu Ke asked about it, Dean Feng, who was the person in charge of Yikang Nursing Home, couldn't answer at all.
If the previous questions made him nervous, then this question can be said to have directly stabbed him to the point.
Dean Feng was obviously stunned for a moment, and beads of sweat kept running down his cheeks.
This time, the police came to investigate, and there was no purpose, but now it seems that there are many shady things in this nursing home.
Dean Feng kept swallowing his saliva and replied very embarrassedly: "We will inform the old man's children and discuss the follow-up matters together." ”
Lu Ke stared at him seriously and continued to ask, "What if it's an old man with no children and no daughters?" ”
Dean Feng pursed his lips and replied, "Then contact the relatives." ”
Lu Ke asked, "What if it's a homeless man?" What about those who have no identity information, let alone relatives? ”
Dean Feng glanced up at Lu Ke, and his tone changed more obviously with nervousness: "That...... Well...... Hmmm......"
Lu Ke smiled slightly: "What's the matter, Dean Feng?" You don't know? Or do you know but can't tell? Or do you know but don't dare to say it? ”
Dean Feng's nervous legs were trembling, he took off his glasses and wiped his sweat with his sleeve, but still did not answer the question.
At this moment, Su Simeng, who was beside him, handed over another piece of information, which was all the information of the elderly in the nursing home.
Lu Ke looked through it, gently put it on the desk, and tapped it lightly with his fingertips: "Judging from the data, more than ninety percent of the elderly here are dementia patients. It seems that you are recruiting the elderly, or is it targeted? ”
At this point in the investigation, Lu Ke became even more determined in the idea he had in his heart.
Dean Feng couldn't stand on his feet anymore, and retreated again and again, leaning against the wall and slumping directly on the chair.
Lu Ke pressed forward step by step, took steps, and stood in front of Dean Feng again.
"Dean Feng, we are from the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Bureau, and we are investigating criminal cases with you, you had better think clearly about how to answer our questions."
After listening to Lu Ke's slightly serious words, Dean Feng raised his head and looked around at the policemen in the office, and the psychological defense line was completely defeated: "I'm not the dean!" I don't know about the nursing home! I don't know anything, I really don't know anything, nothing has anything to do with me! ”
Su Simeng and Mo Yufei glanced at each other, and the corners of their mouths showed a smile, it seems that this nursing home really has a lot of unknown things.
This investigation will definitely make significant discoveries.
Lu Ke's heart was also very excited at this time, but he still asked expressionlessly and seriously: "You are not the dean, who is the dean?!" ”
Dean Feng sat on the chair with an expression of wanting to cry without tears, and kept waving his hands: "The dean is Ren Jianyun, and he is the dean." ”
"What about you?" Lu Ke asked.
Dean Feng raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at Lu Ke: "I...... I am...... I'm a priest......"
"Priest?!"
This position was a surprise to everyone.
Dean Feng nodded, reached out and pulled out a cross ornament from the shirt inside: "I really am a priest." ”
Lu Ke frowned and looked at him: "Priest? What are you doing in a nursing home without coming to church? ”
Father Feng's gaze kept dodging, and finally he lowered his head and said nothing.
……
Half an hour later, a long cordon was set up in the woods about 700 meters behind the Yikang nursing home.
In the cordon, more than a dozen policemen were busy, Ling Zizhen was wearing on-site investigation equipment and led the technical team to conduct a careful on-site investigation.
Dressed in a white coat, medical examiner Jiang Xiran and forensic assistant Zhou Xiaoyi are squatting in front of a dried corpse for an autopsy at the scene.
So far, police have found seven bodies in the woods, all of varying degrees of decomposition, including one that has been ossified.
Father Feng was handcuffed and pointed to the woods to help the police find more of the remains.
"Team Lu, there's still a corpse here!"
In the cordon, Su Simeng held a shovel in his hand and shouted at Lu Ke.
The newly discovered body had not yet decomposed, and it appeared that it had just died, and judging by the way it was dressed, it was an elderly man, most likely from the nursing home.
"How many people are buried here?" Lu Ke looked at Father Feng and asked seriously.
Now, Father Feng has lost his previous nervousness, and answered Lu Ke's question smoothly: "I don't know how many there are...... Approximately...... More than a dozen bars......"
Lu Ke stared at him for a while, then walked towards Su Simeng.
"The priest said there were more than a dozen here, but I feel like there are more than a dozen." Lu Ke glanced at the corpse in front of Su Simeng and said seriously.
Su Simeng thought for a while: "Then we need police support, judging from the current situation, this is already a big case that has not been encountered in ten years." Maybe there are other burial sites in this wood, and maybe something can be dug up. ”
Lu Ke nodded: "It's getting dark, let's contact as soon as possible, it's best to get two power generation trucks and put up the searchlights, the clues must not be broken, and we must find out some from here as soon as possible." ”
Mo Yufei answered: "Zheng Yuxuan asked us to check this nursing home, will this be what you are referring to?" ”
Lu Ke twisted his fingers, frowned and pondered for a while: "Maybe, but how did she know that there was a corpse buried here?" Is there any direct connection between these bodies and Sun Jinyu's case? ”
Mo Yufei froze and said in a deep voice: "Ren Jianyun is the director of this nursing home, he must know everything. ”
Lu Ke's gaze became more and more determined: "Prepare to arrest people." ”
After Lu Ke finished speaking, he walked towards Jiang Xiran, and eight corpses had been found so far, first to determine the time and order of their deaths, and then to determine whether they were people in the nursing home.
"The time of death of the eight victims was spread over a period of two years, and the depth of burial was also different, from near to far. Because the burial location of the corpse is in the woods, affected by the weather, temperature and humidity, it is impossible to judge the exact time of death from the degree of decay of the corpse, and only an approximate range can be given. ”
Jiang Xiran stood up and introduced the situation to Lu Ke: "This white ossified corpse was the first to die, and the time of death should be about two years ago, although the second body is also white ossification, but from the situation of bone weathering, it is speculated that the time of death is relatively closer, about a year ago." The fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh bodies died at a relatively close time, and the time of death should have been half a year ago. The newly discovered body died at the most recent time, and judging by the loss of fingernails, the time of death was no more than three weeks. ”
