Chapter III: Cases of Explosion and Arson
Jiang Lian took a flashlight and walked up the charred black staircase where water was still hanging, there was still a not-so-wonderful pungent smell in the air, and the policeman leading the way in front was still introducing the situation.
"Other colleagues from the city bureau are already on their way over, and when they heard that Captain Jiang was here, they hurried to find him."
"The fire has been basically extinguished, fortunately, the timely treatment did not spread to the entire building, and it is currently in a semi-closed state of closed to the public, there are no people, no casualties, only one waiter fell from the window, has been sent to the hospital for rescue, be careful of your feet."
Jiang Lian and the others happened to encounter this explosion, but they were not so reckless as to rush in directly to put out the fire, evacuate the surrounding people as soon as possible, dispatch rescue, and do some auxiliary work within their ability, so they didn't know the internal structure of the explosion site, so they could only follow first.
"What does it mean to be half-closed?"
"Oh, the person in charge said that it was going to be renovated and renovated, and it was no longer open, but the venue would still be provided for temporary rest or meals for the hotel's internal staff or guests, that is, no one maintained it, but it could enter and exit freely."
Jiang Lian was clear, "Is there a problem with the cause of the explosion?" ”
The one who led the way shook his head.
"The cause of the explosion and fire is still being found, and the second floor of this Aisha hotel is a catering area, and half of the area is the back kitchen of the hotel. This is a catering, there are many fire hazards, this house is a bit old, and no one has repaired it, and the aging of the pipeline is possible, and it is currently speculated that it is a leak of a gas pipeline. ”
Qin Man interjected coldly.
"It's a gas leak, when I passed by just now, I smelled that smell, it's not obvious, mixed with other smells, a bit like swill in the sewer, and a bit like excrement, anyway, it smells bad."
Jiang Lian didn't say anything, but looked back at her as if he was looking at a strange humanoid police dog.
"Let's put aside the cause of the explosion, we have found a more difficult problem, follow me."
Jiang Lian followed him around a place that resembled a wine bar and walked to the back of the stairs.
A small, secluded lounge was an empty shell, the wooden door frame almost burning, and bits and pieces of debris still falling.
A window faces the community at the back, the metal window frame still retains its approximate appearance, smoked to pure black, slightly deformed, the glass on it has disappeared, and a cool breeze with a burnt smell pours straight into the house, circling in a small area in the house.
In the corner, a square stainless steel table was still in its original state, undeformed and undamaged, with four charred corpses lying on it, with only a little bone support left on the head, spread on the table like flattened mud, and it was inseparable from the table.
It can only be judged from other contours, this is personal.
The L-shaped sofa in the other corner has only a metal frame and a pile of slimy things on the floor.
These charred corpses were burned to their current state in such a position, without struggling or running, which is not normal.
Qin Man stood at the door and glanced at it.
"Destroying corpses?"
When Jiang Lian turned around, in the dark, he was still faintly worried about her.
The degree of destruction of this corpse is more serious than he imagined, and some of it is not human-like, especially when he saw it with his own eyes at the scene, the visual impact is enough for the newcomer to have a nightmare for half a month.
It's not strange that he has seen a lot, and his psychological tolerance is extremely strong, but Qin Man has never seen it.
"If you're not used to it, I'll send someone to send you back first."
Qin Man was indifferent, and even glanced at the terrifying charred corpse again.
"I'm here, am I in the way?"
There was another sound of footsteps at the stairs, and at this moment, the other members of the criminal investigation team arrived, and the people from the technical investigation department also took two mouthfuls of food and came with the team.
Jiang Lian saw that Qin Man seemed to be really not afraid of these things, and ordered her briefly.
"Wait for me here, don't touch anything here."
"If you want to vomit, go out and vomit."
Qin Man understood it, Jiang Lian not only looked down on her, but also felt that she was in the way here, and had no investigation experience, even if the scene had been destroyed like this, he was afraid that she would not understand the rules and would destroy the clues.
Anyway, no one could see anyone in the dark light, Qin Man directly turned his eyes into the sky in front of him.
Then he resigned himself to his fate, and stood in the dark.
Jiang Lian put on gloves and entered the room, and the people who came one by one had to meet her first, and then get in.
The gang looked at her curiously, and then she looked at the gang with curiosity, but more attention was still on Jiang Lian.
He turned on the flashlight, first carefully looked at the four charred corpses around the square table in turn, did not get started, and did not move any place, then illuminated the surrounding ground and tabletop, and gently touched it twice with his fingers, and in an instant something black and brown tar-like stuck to his fingertips, and the broken threads were brought up, and he came to his nose to smell it.
Qin Man was really disgusted this time, and he shrank his neck with disdain, thinking that the corpse oil could be refined to the extent of drawing.
In fact, it was just melted plastic, because the residual temperature of the stainless steel table still kept flowing.
Jiang Lian didn't think that this clue was very critical, and then walked to the L-shaped sofa area, squatted down and looked at it for a while, occasionally reaching out and gently pulling it.
Qin Man looked at it with great interest, can you see anything just by looking at this case?
Then Jiang Lian stretched out his hand back, and someone handed him a brush-shaped brush that had been prepared.
Jiang Lian took a flashlight in his mouth, reached into the frame of the sofa, and used both hands to sweep out a cloud of black ash.
A lump of golden gold is especially shiny when exposed to the light of a flashlight.
Qin Man was stunned for a moment, that arrogance was gone, she had no reconnaissance experience, but she was not without brains.
The lump of gold, apparently melted gold jewelry, was buried in the middle of the L-shaped couch.
That is to say, except for the possibility that someone has itchy hands and just took off their own gold necklace or gold bracelet, or bought new gold jewelry, and just threw it on this sofa.
There is a high probability that there is someone on this sofa, but it is wrapped in a combustible material like a sofa, and it has been completely burned to ashes.
Jiang Lian stood up and handed the brush back, and walked out while taking off his gloves, his mouth still making deployments.
Lai Mingjie cooperated with the fire department to investigate the cause of the explosion and fire; Yang Yuhe cooperated with the technical investigation to find out the identity and social relationship of the deceased, the degree of carbonization of the corpse is more serious, there will be a certain degree of difficulty, and everything must be done; Chen Qi visited the surrounding area to see if there were any other monitoring locations that filmed the explosion site, and if necessary, all the surveillance videos were retrieved, and the person in charge of the hotel was summoned to do a preliminary interrogation first. ”
"Yes."
"Yes."
Yang Yuhe was embarrassed, "But, Team Jiang ......"
He pointed in the direction of the couch, "How do you check this?" ”
How to check the identity of the deceased who doesn't even have bones left?
Jiang Lian's eyes drooped slightly, and he patted the ash on his arm.
"Social connections can be used not only to find the murderer, but sometimes, to find the victim."
Yang Yuhe understood at one point, "I understand." ”
After the division of labor was clarified, all parties immediately began to operate, Jiang Lian was like an idler, and there were more idle people than him.
Jiang Lian walked out and looked at Qin Man, feeling that her state was still a little frightened.
"Don't look at it."
Qin Man: "How did I know that corpse oil could still be refined and drawn......"
Jiang Lian explained helplessly.
"It's not corpse oil, it's just melted plastic."
Qin Man: "Oh, I'm sorry, I haven't studied corpses, I don't understand." ”
Jiang Lian: "You come with me." ”
Two minutes later, Qin Man was so shocked that he stood next to Jiang Lian's car, watching him get into the cab by himself, and then lowered the window to urge.
"Get in the car."
Qin Man couldn't help but remind, "Captain Jiang, that's a case of arson and murder of a bad nature, you're just like that, leaving?" ”
Jiang Lian sighed softly, his patience was very good, "The scene was very badly damaged, and the valuable clues have been burned except for the body itself. ”
Jiang Lian's reason was impeccable, Qin Man opened the car door, sat in the passenger seat, and asked while buckling his seat belt.
"So where are we going now?"
Jiang Lian started the vehicle and brought up the navigation interface, "Send you home, enter the address yourself." ”
Qin Man: "......"
Sure enough, I still think she's in the way.
"No, I can do it myself."
She tried to open the door and get out of the car, but with a click, all four doors automatically locked.
After more than ten seconds of silence, Qin Man stubbornly typed the address of the community he lived in on the touch keyboard.
Jiang Lian didn't force her to report all the house numbers together, and then along the way, the two of them didn't say a word again.
Jiang Lian looked ahead, Qin Man looked sideways at the night view of the city, and the colorful neon lights on the roadside refracted her, reflecting her eyes in color.
Soon arrived at the gate of the community, Jiang Lian was stopped by the access control in a dozen directions, and the security guard immediately came to inquire about the situation.
He unhurriedly lowered the window.
"What for?"
Jiang Lian: "Send a friend home." ”
The security guard looked at Qin Man in the co-pilot, "How many?" Sign up. ”
Jiang Lian turned to look at her with an innocent expression.
Qin Man had no choice but to report to his home, "Building 3, 401." ”
The security guard also made routine inquiries, and after getting the answer, he was released, Jiang Lian looked for a way in the community according to the signs, and soon found Building 3.
Both of them knew that Jiang Lian did it on purpose.
Qin Man unbuckled his seat belt, but he still couldn't pull the car door, and his tone was not very friendly.
"Open the door."
Jiang Lian pressed the unlock button.
"Report early tomorrow and wait for your meeting."
Qin Man was full of suspicions, didn't Captain Jiang think she was in the way?
"Got it."
Jiang Lian watched the voice-activated lights in the corridor turn on from the first floor to the fourth floor, and then the east side of the fourth floor lit up the lights, holding the steering wheel, and the spring breeze was so proud that the corners of his mouth were hooked before driving away.
Qin Man leaned on the window and watched the red car taillights fade away, and closed the curtains angrily.
