Zhong Qingming's wife, Liu Ye, usually doesn't read newspapers, so when she wanted to wrap things in newspapers that night, she took out the old newspapers from a few days ago. She was about to wrap something in an old newspaper when she suddenly saw a notice from the Municipal Public Security Bureau in the newspaper: The Municipal Public Security Bureau issued a notice to the citizens of the city in the media, and on the night of August 15, a male corpse was found in a secluded place at the foot of Nanshan Mountain on the outskirts of the city. The deceased, Chu Wenguang, a writer of the Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles, was hit by a black Jetta sedan and hit on the head with a heavy object. If you find suspicious people and clues about suspicious cars, please report to the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Those who have valid clues are rewarded.

From this, Liu Ye knew about the murder of Chu Wenguang. She heard Du Qingping say that her husband is engaged in writing, and his name is Chu Wenguang.

So she went to her husband's bedroom, where Zhong Qingming was playing computer games.

"Stop, I have something to tell you." Liu Ye said in a cold voice.

"I'm busy, just say whatever you want." Zhong Qingming didn't look back, his hand was still pressing the mouse to fight the monster.

"Stop, I have something important to say to you." Willow raised her eyebrows and amplified her voice.

Zhong Qingming passed this level before stopping. He looked at Liu Ye and said, "What are you going to say?" ”

"I think you should stop." Liu Ye said with round eyes.

"What's the end? What do you mean? ”

"You should break up with Du Qingping and restrain your behavior!" Willow Leaf's eyes widened.

"Why? She just gave me a massage, so why not? She has a good massage technique. ”

"Are you just massages? I've found out about your shameful deeds. Willow Ye looked disdainful, as if she was looking at something dirty.

"It's nothing even if it's a little bit over. Which of the current big money is not a group of wives and concubines, and a bunch of Xiaomi. Don't take it seriously, I'm just playing, you're still the number one in the family. Zhong Qingming said cheekily.

"Are you playing? I see you've gone overboard! "The willow leaves and willow eyebrows are upside down.

"What do you mean?"

"Did you kill Chu Wenguang?"

Zhong Qingming's face sank: "What did I kill?" Who is Chu Wenguang? ”

"Don't pretend to be garlic! Chu Wenguang is Du Qingping's husband, you killed him, right? ”

"You, how can you blame your husband for murder? This is no joke! Zhong Qingming's face changed.

"Who's messing around with you! You are Ximen Qing, Du Qingping is Pan Jinlian, and Chu Wenguang is Wu Dalang. ”

"What a mess of this!"

"You know it in your heart. I have read Chu Wenguang's collection of essays, and he is a writer with a great literary style and a sense of justice. You his wife, not to mention, but also killed him, you are too shameless and vicious. You murderer! I can't get past you. We divorced, and you gave me two-thirds of the property. ”

"You're dizzy! Giving you a third is cheapening you. ”

"If you don't do what I say, I'll go to the Public Security Bureau to denounce you. You committed adultery with Du Qingping, and you also murdered Chu Wenguang. ”

"You're crazy, you're really crazy!"

"I'm crazy, driven crazy by you. You go around women and you kill people for women. Can I not be crazy? ”

"Don't make any noise, can you be quiet? Let's discuss something. ”

"Sign the divorce agreement as I ask, or don't blame me."

"Good, good. It's easy to say anything. You calm down, quiet down. Zhong Qingming stepped forward and pressed Liu Ye's shoulder.

Liu Ye shook off his hand and said, "Hurry up and get ready for divorce!" Then leave.

The next day, Zhong Qingming called Luo Jian to the private room of a secluded teahouse.

Zhong Qingming lit a Havana cigar and handed another one to Luo Jian. Luo Jian took the cigar and smoked greedily.

Zhong Qingwu looked at Luo Jian and asked with concern, "Is your grandfather getting better?"

Luo Jian said: "After the operation, it was much better. Thank you Mr. Zhong for your concern. ”

"That's good. In the future, you still have to pay attention to maintenance. ”

Luo Jian nodded: "Yes."

Zhong Qingming looked at Luo Jian and said, "I came to you today and asked you to do something."

"Zhong always has something to say."

Zhong Qingming lowered his voice and said, "I want to ask you to get rid of someone."

Luo Jian was stunned: "I still have to ......" Luo Jian's mouth opened and did not close.

Zhong Qingming nodded: "I want to get rid of the willow leaves."

Luo Jian's mouth opened wider: "Liu Ye?" He was very surprised, isn't Liu Ye your wife? Such a beautiful lady, why do you want to kill him? But he didn't dare to open his mouth to ask.

Zhong Qingming whispered: "Liu Ye has discovered the secret of our elimination of Chu Wenguang and wants to denounce us. If we don't get rid of her, we're going to be finished. ”

Luo Jian thought to himself, I have already killed two people, and the sin is deep enough. I used to be able to eat and sleep, but now my appetite has decreased, and I often have nightmares at night, dreaming that those two ghosts came to me asking for my life, and I woke up in a cold sweat. Do you want me to kill someone?

Zhong Qingming saw Luo Jian's hesitant expression, and said: "If we don't act, Liu Ye will act, and then the two of us will be finished." This is a life-and-death struggle, if she doesn't die, we have to die. You're still so young and haven't started a family yet, so it's a shame that your life ends like this, right? ”

Luo Jian thought of what his grandfather said: "Xiao Jian, I look forward to you getting married, being able to hold your great-grandson, four generations in the same house, and I will be blind when I die."

Zhong Qingming said again: "At the end of this operation, I will give you 300,000 yuan, you can settle your home, and then you can flee abroad, so that you will be safe."

Under Zhong Qingming's repeated persuasion, Luo Jian nodded and agreed.

Three days later, in the afternoon, Zhong Qingming went to the police station to report the case. He said with grief: "My wife Liu Ye went out for a walk after dinner the day before yesterday, but she didn't come back all night. I've been looking for my wife since the middle of the night the day before yesterday, and I searched for another day yesterday. I searched everywhere I could, and I asked everywhere I could call, but I didn't have the whereabouts of my wife. So I had to report the case to the police. ”

A police officer recorded his report and said: "We have already recorded what you said, and we will inform you if there is news." ”

Three days later, a forest ranger reported to the public security department: "I was patrolling the mountains and forests in Nanshan, and in the dense forest deep in the mountains, I found a charred female corpse. ”

The criminal police of the Criminal Police Brigade of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, led by the team leader Tian Chunda, rushed to the scene where the body was found, and it was already dark. Tian Chunda saw some curious people watching, and the police from the local police station walking around. Oh no, he thought to himself, the scene might have been vandalized again.

Tian Chunda cautiously walked to the side of the corpse, there were many different footprints on the ground, and the corpse's head and clothes had been moved. Annoyed, he asked the police at the local police station why they didn't cordon off the scene first. The two young policemen, who had never dealt with the scene of a criminal case, were at a loss for answers.

Due to the poor maintenance of the site and the difficulty of preserving the evidence of small objects, Tian Chunda decided to buy time and investigate all night. He and the criminal police of the serious crime team searched carefully with a strong flashlight. When Tian Chunda squatted down to investigate the corpse on the overgrown ground, he found that although the corpse was charred black, traces of binding could be seen on his hands and feet. The T-shirt on his body was pulled up to cover his face, his chest was bare, his upper body and face were burned, and his bare lower body and hands were also scorched.

When Tian Chunda squatted beside the charred grass to search, he found an unburned matchstick in the grass, so he carefully picked it up with tweezers, put it in a plastic bag to collect physical evidence, and prepared to take it back to the public security bureau's appraisal room for laboratory identification.

He told the police: "Since the fire is lit with matches, there may be matchboxes, so everyone searches around for suspicious physical evidence such as matchboxes." ”

Sure enough, a cardboard folded matchbox was found fifteen meters away from the body.

Tian Chunda lowered his body and sniffed the smell of burnt grass, and then tested the results of the char ash with the on-site detection agent, and said, "The criminal used unleaded gasoline. He added: "Judging by the charred material left on the woman's face, the killer pulled up her T-shirt and covered her eyes so that the woman could not see his face when she raped her." It is likely that the rapist-murderer knew the woman, possibly one of her neighbors. The criminal raped people he knew, but he didn't want to face it, so he covered her face. ”

The group members all nodded.

Tian Chunda found that the deceased's hands and feet were tied with shoelaces, so he put the burnt shoelaces into a physical evidence bag and prepared to take them back to the laboratory for further examination.

Tian Chunda examined the body again and said: "The deceased was stabbed four times, judging from the length and width of the wound, the murder weapon was a small, single-edged knife that could be placed in a pocket. ”

After investigating the scene in the middle of the night and collecting a lot of physical evidence, the police station chief asked, "Is it possible to remove the body?" ”

Tian Chunda replied: "The examination is not over yet, and evidence of male sperm will be collected from the deceased's lower body." ”

The police at the police station were not convinced, they believed that the deceased's lower body had been burned, and the evidence of male sperm had been burned. Tian Chunda said: "Not necessarily. Sure enough, he used a cotton swab to collect some liquid from the deceased's charred lower body.

Tian Chunda used a magnifying glass to search the ground near his lower body, and found several hairs, most likely lower hairs, which he also distributed into the evidence bag.

After the evidence collection at the scene came to an end, the criminal police and the police from the police station returned to the police station to rest, smoke and drink tea to relieve fatigue. The head of the police station took the opportunity to ask Tian Chunda, a veteran criminal policeman, to give a lecture to the young policemen of the police station about the knowledge of protecting the scene and other crimes.

Tian Chunda thought it was necessary to talk to these young policemen, so he drank tea and spoke:

"Sealing off the scene is the most important part of solving a case. Only at the scene that remains intact can the forensic examiner collect the fingerprints, water footprints, hair, etc. of the offender. These marks and physical evidence may not be visible to the naked eye, but some chemicals and instruments can be used to show and remove the hidden traces. In the outdoor scene, the weight of the offender and the route of the offender can also be judged from the depth and direction of the shoe print.

The most important step in criminal scene processing is to preserve the scene. The first police officer to arrive at the scene must completely cordon off the scene and not allow anyone to enter to avoid contamination or destruction of evidence at the scene. Criminal police or forensic personnel must also have a general understanding of the scene before entering the scene in order to systematically collect physical evidence.

In general, natural daylight is the best light for surveying the site. Appraisers often have to race against time, and it depends on whether or not to conduct surveys outdoors at night. Changes in weather, rain, snow, wind, etc., may make a lot of useful evidence disappear. Dew, plant growth, animal activity, etc., can bury physical evidence or trace evidence. For example, a bloody stain on the grass can quickly change color and become difficult to spot. A light rain may wash away some of the blood stains and stains completely. Other biologically important signs such as hair, sperm spots, urine spots, feces, nasal feces, skin tissue, and brain plasma may also disappear due to dryness or rainwater. During the season of insect activity, there is also a chance that this evidence can be eaten. Therefore, it is necessary to protect the scene and search and collect evidence as soon as possible. ”

Tian Chunda took a sip of tea and continued:

"Although the deceased has been burned beyond recognition, we can still quickly identify the deceased from her teeth, fingerprints and other physical signs. Generally speaking, there are 16 methods of identification in forensics, such as fingerprints, teeth, faces, skulls, etc. If this evidence is destroyed, it will be quite difficult to determine the identity of the deceased. The suspect scorched the victim's lower body, most likely in a rape and homicide case, and the killer tried to burn the male sperm evidence. The development of modern science and technology has made it easier to distinguish the human body. Even if important parts of the human body are burned, there are still ways to obtain evidence, such as the outer epidermis of the fingers, but fingerprints can still be seen through the second epidermis, and the original appearance can be reconstructed with a computer using the skull. ”

After breakfast, the head of the police station led Zhong Qingming, who had reported his disappearance a few days ago, to identify the body. He looked at the clothes and shoes that were not too burning on the corpse, and decided that it was his wife Liu Ye, and he knelt beside the corpse and wept bitterly and was overwhelmed with grief
