Chapter 13: The Scene of the Crime
Under Song Lan's superb riding skills, the two walked through several blocks and came to the neighborhood where one of their colleagues was.
The section chief chose a blind box gift bag and straightened the hair on his forehead that was blown more and more freely by the wind.
"You'll just wait for me at the door in a moment."
He walked ahead and spoke.
Song Lan, who was following behind the section chief, was noncommittal, and looked around the structure of the community before going upstairs.
This is an upscale community, with a spacious oil road, flanked by well-manicured green belts, and a total of four entrances to the community, the building where this colleague lives is close to the north, out of the community is the main road, and after driving a distance, turn left is the commercial street with intricate terrain.
Before getting on the elevator, Song Lan designed an escape route in case of an accident.
Of course, if possible, he sincerely hoped that the errand work would not turn into a rivalry with the thugs.
As for the colleague they were about to condole, Song Lan had no impression of him.
If memory serves, this should be the buddy who roared angrily before Chai Ke fired, "Don't think that you can leave the seventeenth district alive if you kill us".
Although they are both employees of the civilian department, they belong to two sections, and in the law enforcement system of the 17th district, the surveillance section, the crime analysis section, and the audit section all belong to the category of civilian personnel.
In each of the tasks of the Special Operations Group, the views of these departments need to be taken into account.
If there is a food chain in the Enforcers' department, then they are clearly at the bottom of the food chain as the atmosphere group.
Based on the above factors, they usually have no status in the compound, and they belong to the type where no one will take the initiative to talk to them during the lunch break, even the section chief.
Song Lan spent a lot of time in the compound, and those who could speak were limited to their department.
With a "ding" sound, the elevator door slowly opened.
27th floor.
The light in the corridor was a little dim, and the excitement in the community was completely inaudible, and only the footsteps of the two of them were left in the entire corridor.
Immediately after, a sudden cold feeling came over him.
I don't know if the section chief also had an ominous premonition, and he walked in front without saying a word.
In a short time, the two of them were standing in front of the innermost apartment door, which seemed to foreshadow everything.
The section chief stared at the door frame for more than ten seconds before turning his head, staring at Song Lan with round eyes and making a silent gesture, and then he put his ear on the security door, which lasted for several minutes.
After confirming that there was no noise in the house, he pointed to the direction of the safe passage, and after Song Lan hid in the safe passage, the section chief mustered up the courage and pushed open the hidden security door.
About two minutes later, Song Lan heard the sound of retching coming from the house.
……………………………………
Twelve minutes later, colleagues from the Scene Investigation Division arrived at the scene.
The community was quickly cordoned off, and Song Lan and the section chief were left behind as reporters.
"There were multiple lacerations on the ankle, wrist, abdomen, and waist, and we found the victim's left thumb, index finger, and right eye in a container by the pool."
The content of the report of the colleagues in the investigation department suddenly made Song Lan feel extremely uncomfortable, he was sitting on the sofa in the living room of the apartment, the body was only a door away from him, and he was now very grateful to the section chief at that time for retching and at the same time stopped him out of the door, so that he did not directly see the scene behind the toilet door that was enough to make him have nightmares for a month.
"The victim was tortured before he died."
Lu Xiang's face, who had just come out of the toilet, did not change in the slightest, and immediately entered the working state after she came to the scene, "The murderer is not Chai Ke's remnants, but a professional killer." ”
As she spoke, she looked at the chief of the crime analysis section, who was over half a hundred years old and had experienced countless crime scene baptisms at this moment, and was in a state of confusion.
Song Lan had just heard that the victim was a member of the Crime Analysis Section, and after Chai Ke's case, the old section chief took into account the psychological state of his subordinates and gave him a week's leave.
"The killer had at least had a prosthetic body modified in his eye, and was able to accurately monitor the victim's heartbeat rate and blood loss during the crime, and we found stimulants in the deceased's body, which would have kept him awake for a long time during the torture, and the damage to the nervous system in his right eye frame, which indicates that the killer confirmed that the victim had not undergone a prosthetic eye transplant before leaving."
Through Lu Xiang's concise and clear explanation, even Song Lan, who has no experience in handling cases, can understand how terrible the victim had before he died.
For the tortured party, even death has become a long and painful process.
After Lu Xiang's reminder, the old section chief of the crime analysis department woke up like a dream, and he immediately said, "I'll take someone to check the monitoring now." ”
After arranging the work, Lu Xiang came to Song Lan and the section chief.
The scene in the toilet seemed to have caused a lot of shadows in the section chief's heart, and after calling for support, he kept hanging his head and sat on the sofa without saying a word.
"It's hard work, but there is no need to continue the matter of condolences, five minutes ago, the second team found Cobb's body in the Qishan apartment."
The section chief nodded reluctantly.
Cobb was the next person they planned to visit, and if it hadn't happened, they would have arrived at the Qishan apartment by now.
This is to be expected, since Director Lu mentioned that the murderer is a professional killer, then his goal will not be limited to that.
Someone is hunting down the survivors of the Chai Ke case.
"Then let's go back first."
Song Lan got up, he felt that the longer he stayed here, the more bad news he heard.
"Do you need counseling?"
Lu Xiang looked at him and asked very seriously.
"No, Director Lu, you are busy first."
Hearing this, she was thoughtful, and looked like she wanted to say something, but in front of many people, she finally just bowed her head slightly, and watched Song Lan walk out of the apartment with the section chief who was floating in his footsteps.
Not long after going out, Song Lan received a message from Lu Xiang:
"I'm not going back tonight, I'm going to guard the hospital."
After Song Lan replied with a "yes", she helped the section chief into the elevator, and the female colleague who was still unconscious in the hospital at the moment was the last survivor of the three people in the Chai Ke case.
"Xiao Song."
The elevator door closed slowly, and the section chief, who had been silent for a long time, seemed to adjust and admonished, "Don't think about today's events, go home and sleep well, and forget about it if you can." ”
