Chapter 19: Cause of Death
They walked around the park, and when they came back from their walk, they saw a group of people gathered around a flower bed, the scene was a little chaotic, some people covered their mouths, and some people were already calling the police, "Hey...... Is it 110? Over here...... Here......"
Ren Boxin handed the rope to Lu Zhiyao, patted Xuanwu's head, and ordered in a low voice, "Be alert!" β
He strode forward and squeezed into the crowd, "I'm a policeman, what's going on." β
"Dead ...... Dead person! The person who called the police, quickly stuffed the phone into Ren Boxin's hand, "You tell him the location." β
Ren Boxin looked at the mobile phone that was still on the call, and quickly put it to his ear, "Hello, I am the consultant of the Municipal Criminal Investigation Detachment, 300 meters south of the intersection of Xiangjiang Road and Songlin Road, in the middle of the outer ring road of the park, a female corpse was found, the age is unknown, the cause of death is unknown, the height is about 1.65 meters, please call the police as soon as possible!" β
After getting the reply from there, he returned the phone to the person, and then, quickly revealed his identity and evacuated the crowd, "Don't take pictures, don't spread it until the matter has a clear statement, it's all scattered!" β
Lu Zhiyao also noticed that something was wrong with the situation, and immediately stepped forward to help evacuate the crowd, Ren Boxin dialed Shen Fangyu's phone again, "Team Shen, Xiangshan Park Outer Ring Road, quick!" β
He had a hunch that this should be Li Xiaowan.
Although, the female corpse was wrapped in layers of plastic film from top to bottom, only the face could still be seen clearly, and the other positions were all wrapped tightly. There are also loops of tape wrapped around them.
But, he just knows.
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Zhiyao stepped forward and saw the female corpse, she gasped.
"This kid ......"
She couldn't speak, although she said that Li Xiaowan was a child, but in fact, Lu Zhiyao was just more than a year older than her.
Ren Boxin's face was not very good-looking, he pulled Lu Zhiyao over, stared at her eyes and explained, "Yaoyao, you and Xuanwu, you go back first." β
Lu Zhiyao frowned, "She's ......"
Ren Boxin gently turned Lu Zhiyao's head with his hand, "Don't look, don't worry about it yet, you believe me, I will give her a fair one, be obedient, go back first." β
Lu Zhiyao's heart tightened violently, as if she had thought of something, she lowered her eyes, "Okay, then you pay attention to safety." β
When she left, the police car just roared over, Lu Zhiyao was holding Xuanwu, and she had already walked out of a distance, she glanced back, the red and blue lights reflected on Ren Boxin's serious face, and he commanded the scene in an orderly manner.
Lu Zhiyao grabbed the rope in his hand and continued to walk forward without looking back.
After returning to Ren Boxin's house, she was ready to settle Xuanwu and go back directly, but she didn't expect that when Lu Zhiyao turned around and opened the door, Xuanwu suddenly bit her pants and pulled her hard, preventing her from going out.
Lu Zhiyao had no choice but to close the door and re-appease it, but when she opened the door again, Xuanwu would bite her pants again and wouldn't let her leave no matter what.
Lu Zhiyao had no choice but not to leave, she turned around and returned to the living room, just sitting on the carpet in front of the sofa, Xuanwu was also lying beside her, and his head was on Lu Zhiyao's lap.
I don't know how long I waited, the door opened, Xuanwu raised his head suddenly, and when he saw that it was Ren Boxin, he slowly got up.
Ren Boxin looked at Lu Zhiyao, who was lying on the sofa and had already fallen asleep, his heart was a little swollen, a little sour, and a little itchy.
He approached cautiously and pulled the blanket on the side to put it on her, but the moment the blanket touched her, Lu Zhiyao suddenly opened his eyes. There was a fierceness in those eyesβ
After seeing that it was Ren Boxin, she was stunned, and then said a little apologetically, "I...... I had a dream and fell asleep. β
Ren Boxin nodded, his face didn't care, Lu Zhiyao stood up with his body propped up, as if to explain, "As soon as I opened the door just now, Xuanwu wouldn't let me leave, so I'm waiting for you here." Then..... since you're back, I'll go back first. β
Ren Boxin smiled, with a tiredness on his face that he couldn't hide, "It's okay, it's normal, I'll send you." β
Lu Zhiyao opened the door of her house and was about to enter the door, Ren Boxin grabbed her wrist, "Recently...... Let Xuanwu accompany you, and if you take a walk, you will be in the garden of the community, and try not to go out. β
She was stunned, "Is it necessary?" β
Ren Boxin didn't look like he was joking, "Just ...... It's to reassure me. β
He stared at Lu Zhiyao, his eyes were very serious.
"Okay." Lu Zhiyao agreed to come down, and Ren Boxin let go.
He watched Lu Zhiyao lock the door before going back, and rewarded Xuanwu with a piece of beef, he sat back in the position where Lu Zhiyao was sitting just now, and muttered, "Why are you so guarded?" β
******
Early the next morning, Ren Boxin got up and prepared to go to the bureau, he didn't give Xuanwu food, but only sent a message to Lu Zhiyao after going downstairs.
[When you wake up, come and feed Xuanwu, I left early, and, if it's convenient, you can always take him with you, at your house, or with me. γ
Almost an hour later, he received a reply from Lu Zhiyao, "Okay. γ
At this time, Ren Boxin was already preparing for a meeting.
The air pressure in the conference room was very low, and Shen Fangyu personally introduced the case this time.
"The deceased, Li Xiaowan, lost a lot of blood, but the final cause of death was death from being pierced through the heart. She also had that symbol on her back, exactly the same way, and the same technique, and the skin on her body had lost eighty percent, which was about the size of the two dolls. β
No wonder, her whole body was wrapped.
"However, unlike the previous case, she has taken drugs, although the time is very short and the amount is very small, but it can be determined that she has taken drugs."
Ren Boxin nodded, "That should be Bao Xiaohang's last seduction of her." β
"Li Xiaowan's organs are not missing, and there is a large amount of anesthetic in her body. In other words, she had little to no pain before or after death. Shen Fangyu furrowed his eyebrows.
"Compassion?" Ren Boxin muttered to himself, "What about the surrounding surveillance? β
When Shen Fangyu heard this, he instantly turned from puzzled to angry, "This park, not long after it was developed, is not fenced on all sides, it is open, and the infrastructure has not yet been built. β
"No, the monitoring of the main road must be installed first according to the regulations, right?"
"Yes." Shen Fangyu was even more angry when he said this, "But the construction party said that the construction period is not in a hurry, they are preparing for the installation in the next two days, but it didn't come to pass, and this kind of thing happened." You say it'......"
Ren Boxin understood, "In other words, the clue is broken again." β
"Hmm." Shen Fangyu said dejectedly, "Her body is very 'clean', there is nothing superfluous, not even the flying insects that may be contaminated in the environment, or skin cells and fibrous tissues." β
It was the first time he felt like such a failure.
When Ren Boxin heard this, although he was a little disappointed, he quickly accepted it.
It's just to be expected.
He communicated with Shen Fangyu, and Shen Fangyu seemed a little difficult to accept his idea of Bao Xiaohang's [suicide by mind control].
"Suppose, what you said is right, he committed suicide, then in such an enclosed space, there are no big puddles, no basins, how can he commit suicide?" Shen Fangyu asked Ren Boxin.
After these days, Ren Boxin had already figured out this question, and he raised his eyes, "Do you know the [waterboarding] in ancient times? β
Shen Fangyu didn't know why he said this suddenly, Ren Boxin didn't wait for his answer and continued.
"[Waterboarding] was originally a form of torture in ancient times that made the prisoner think that he was about to drown and thus tell the truth, the main operation was to tie the prisoner into a position where his feet were higher than his head, then cover the prisoner's face with a towel or rice paper, and finally pour water on the prisoner's face. This kind of torture can cause prisoners to feel like they are about to suffocate and drown. β
"Waterboarding, to put it simply, is like a one-way valve. The water was constantly pouring in, and the towel prevented the prisoner from spitting out the water, so he could only exhale once. Even if you hold your breath, you will still feel like the air is being sucked away because of the things covering your face, like a vacuum cleaner. What's more, there is a constant stream of water. β
Shen Fangyu understood, his face was full of horror, "You mean..... that's how he poured himself to death?" How is this possible! This is a pain that cannot be done by a person ..... be able to resist an instinctive reaction. β
"So I said, plus mind control. Moreover, he already had a history of drug abuse, and when the autopsy was performed, it was also found that he had taken drugs before his death. β
Ren Boxin felt that if all the possibilities were eliminated, the final result, no matter how outrageous, would be the only possibility in the end.
Shen Fangyu's face was incredulous, but he knew in his heart that perhaps, this was the truth.
Bao Xiaohang had no binding injuries on his body, no fighting injuries, and he did not drown in a swimming pool or lake, so this is most likely the cause of death.
Moreover, whether it is an autopsy, an investigation, or a surveillance, there is no new progress, and it is impossible to know what happened to him in that room at that time.
If he was really drowned directly, then everyone that night could be the murderer.
That's impossible.
******
Soon, ten days passed, and some other cases occurred in the middle, but none of them had anything to do with the cases of Bao Xiaohang and Li Xiaowan, and with the help of Ren Boxin, the cases were quickly solved.
And this matter has been hanging over everyone's heads in the Jingyuan City Public Security Bureau like a dark cloud.
In the past ten days, Lu Zhiyao has taken good care of Xuanwu, and the relationship with Ren Boxin has also improved a lot, and the way the two get along is much easier than before.
