Chapter 225: Peeling Back the Cocoon (20)

These two points alone are enough to prove that the deceased killed him.

Due to the overgrown weeds at the scene and the long period of time, it is impossible to extract any effective clues and traces, and it is not clear whether this cave is the scene of the crime or the scene of the dumping of corpses.

The cave is slope-shaped, about 5 meters deep and only 1 meter high. The entrance of the cave faces west, and there are the remains of several small animals at the entrance, and after entering the cave, under the cave wall to the north, the skull of the deceased Bai Sensen is crossed on the rock with vertebrae, and the marks of wild beast gnawing can be clearly seen on the bones.

The cave is set on a gentle slope, the entrance of the cave is less than 20 meters from the road, and the wasteland between the entrance and the road is covered with arrows. Except for the police to further expand the path cut by Lao Liu, there are no other roads or traces of human destruction of the bamboo forest in this small bamboo forest, which indicates that the body or remains of the deceased appeared in the cave before the arrows and bamboos were scattered in the wasteland.

Wang Xing was wearing a raincoat, squatting at the entrance of the cave, listening to the sound of the rain outside the cave. He really couldn't understand that although there was no one living in the area of this cave for a mile or two, no one had paid attention to this cave with pedestrians and vehicles passing by on the road.

At that time, this wasteland was not yet overgrown with arrows, and the smell of rotting corpses in the cave did not attract anyone's attention? If only one person had smelled the strange smell of a carrion and followed the smell to the cave to take a look, the body would not have been found until now.

In the case of a homicide, the longer the body is found, the more difficult it is to investigate. Especially for this kind of corpse bones that have been stripped of their clothes and have not left any personal information, it is a big problem to identify the deceased, let alone solve the case. And finding out the identity of the deceased is the premise and foundation for solving the case.

The forensic doctor walked to the entrance of the cave to breathe, and seemed to see Wang Xing's doubts, and pointed to several animal remains at his feet: "This should be the bones of three rabbits. If someone in the neighborhood had whole rabbit meat or hunted hares in the mountains, they would not have thrown them here......

Wang Xing immediately reacted: "The murderer deliberately threw three dead rabbits here? In this way, even if someone smells the smell of rotting corpses, the first thing they see is the rabbits at the entrance of the cave, and then they think that it is the rancid smell of these three dead rabbits...... This murderer is bold and careful, and may be a repeat offender."

The forensic doctor nodded, raised his hand and handed him a small steel axe wrapped in a clear plastic bag, pointing to the reinforcement between the axe and the wooden handle:

"There is no blood on this axe, and it is uncertain whether there are fingerprints or not. But this axe has an anti-falling reinforcing buckle, and it has a very special style, and it is rarely circulated in the market, so you may be able to use this as a breakthrough to see if you can dig up any clues."

Wang Xing took the axe, took a closer look, and saw that the axe had a special style, although it was covered with dirt, he could still see that it was a new axe that had hardly been used. In other words, it is unlikely that a brand-new axe was discarded here by nearby villagers, and combined with the collapse of the deceased's skull, this axe is very likely to be the murder weapon discarded by the murderer.

This may be the only clue that can be used to investigate this "white bone case".

In addition, judging from the location where the bones appeared, since this cave is known, it is very likely that the murderer is a local near Zhuxi Village, or an outsider who lives here. At the same time, if the cave is not the scene of the crime, but the scene of the dumping of the body, then the crime scene will not be very far from the cave, because the deceased is large, and it is impossible for the suspect to carry it too long.

Yang Feng left Wang Xing here, and after telling him to look at the scene, he stepped on the accelerator in a hurry and drove the car to the funeral alone.

Wang Xing exchanged some opinions with the local police at the scene, and the local police did not even hide their next thinking of handling the case: the soldiers were divided into two ways. With Zhuxi Village as the center, all the way to the axe found at the scene as a clue, check all the hardware stores nearby. Another way to find information about missing people in the vicinity.

If the murderer had bought the axe through the Internet, then the first way of investigation would not have been fruitful. Of course, everything has to be done before you know.

In the end, the local police drove him to Su Chao's hometown to meet Yang Fengfeng.

Strictly speaking, Yang Feng is Wang Xing's master, and Su Chao is Yang Feng's master, so Su Chao is Wang Xing's master.

condition

Moreover, the people's police are a family, and they are in the same unit, so it is just in time for them to catch up with Su Chao's memorial service, and Wang Xing has no reason not to go.

The next afternoon, when the two returned to the city, the local police took the initiative to contact Wang Xing and informed him of the progress of the investigation. In the eyes of the local police, this "white bone case" was discovered by the leaders of the municipal bureau and was personally assigned by them, and they should take the initiative to report to them both publicly and privately.

After a day and night of investigation, the reinforced axes found in the cave, only one hardware store in the county has been sold, because of the high price, but compared to other unreinforced axes are not more practical, from the launch to the end of the sale of a total of 20 sold, but due to the long time, the owner of these axes is who is, the boss can not be sure at all.

The other group collects information on missing persons. There were 19 of them, but none of them could match the deceased in terms of height and weight alone.

But among these missing people, it is not for nothing, a missing person named He Shuangxi, compared to the other 18 people, his disappearance is full of strangeness......

Before the person who was talking to Wang Xing on the phone could continue, Wang Xing suddenly braked, making Yang Feng, who was sitting on the side, almost stumble on the passenger seat.

"What's that man's name?" Wang Xing deliberately turned on the hands-free and asked loudly into the phone.

"He Shuangxi, what's wrong?"

"Is he divorced, and his ex-wife's name is Liu Zhaodi?"

"How do you know?"

Yang Feng immediately remembered: Liu Yuanyuan's sister is called Liu Zhaodi.

The local police officer continued to say on the phone, "It seems that you are investigating this He Shuangxi......

They are investigating He Shuangxi's former sister-in-law, Liu Yuanyuan.

But the twists and turns in it couldn't be explained in a few words, so Yang Feng directly opened his throat and shouted into the phone, "Where are you? We'll come over right away, I'm Yang Feng from the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Bureau......

"Team Yang, we're in the county bureau, I'm here to paint......

After Yang Feng and Lai Huasheng exchanged a few polite words, they hung up the phone.

While driving, Wang Xing asked quite puzzledly, "Team Yang, what you mean by this, do you want to meddle in this case, or do you want them to hand it over to us?" Wouldn't that be unorthodox?"

Yang Feng was noncommittal: "Let's see first. This Liu Yuanyuan...... I only talked to her on the phone back then, and I barely remembered her anymore. If it hadn't been for my brother's unit reminding me that she was also suspected of committing a crime, I wouldn't have thought that she would have something to do with the 'Zhou Xiaolu case.'"

"I've been thinking that if Liu Yuanyuan is the murderer of Zhou Xiaolu's case, then she must be a very smart person. I even suspect that after she killed Zhou Xiaolu, she arranged the crime scene and faked Zhou Xiaolu as if she had died in a 'female killing, so that she could perfectly avoid everyone's suspicions."

"Smart people are often weirdos, and weirdos often happen around them. When you talked about Liu Yuanyuan's brother-in-law yesterday, I suddenly had a premonition inexplicably, and I always felt that Du Juan's disappearance might be related to Liu Yuanyuan."

"But in the end, you said that the cuckoo was not missing, but eloped with another man, and I began to wonder if I was thinking too much, maybe it was in the face of a smart person like Liu Yuanyuan, and there was not much certainty in my heart that I could win her, so I was very sensitive, and I always hoped that there would be another breakthrough to catch her other handle."

"But today I suddenly heard that Liu Yuanyuan's former brother-in-law was actually a missing person."

"My brother-in-law ran away with another man, and my former brother-in-law also disappeared, are these things like these people around Liu Yuanyuan weirdos? Do you think this is a bit of a coincidence?"

Yang Feng's remarks of "smart people and weird people and strange things" have no scientific basis, and are purely the opinions of the benevolent and the wise. ap.

Wang Xing frowned, and couldn't find any rebuttal for a while, so he could only ask lightly, "So what? You've decided to go here and find out about the case?"

"I see what you mean. To handle a case, you have to rely on evidence and logic, not on feelings...... I'm a party member, no

I believe in ghosts and gods and believe in Marxism-Leninism, and I am a staunch atheist, but I also believe that there is a providence in the dark, and it is not that the time has not yet come......

The Yang team is really still the familiar Yang team, and when there is a lack of substantive evidence in the investigation of the case, it will habitually "follow the feeling", Wang Xing secretly showed a subtle smile, stepped on the accelerator, and went straight to the local county bureau.

"The autopsy report of the medical examiner does not have any valid information, and can only conclude that the time of death of the deceased was at least three years ago. No fingerprints were found on the axe, it was obviously deliberately wiped, and it should have been the murder weapon discarded by the murderer."

Lai Huasheng received Yang Feng and Wang Xing in his office, and after a brief greeting, he went straight to the point and introduced the progress of the investigation of this case.

"The rabbits at the entrance of the cave died at the same time as the dead." The painter suddenly added another sentence.

Seeing Yang Feng's puzzled expression, Wang Xing explained to him that the murderer most likely deliberately threw three dead rabbits at the entrance of the cave to cover up the inference that there were human corpses in the cave.

Yang Feng nodded, indicating that he understood, and then motioned to the painter to continue.

"By screening the missing people in the county, our original intention was to find out the information of people who could match the deceased, so as to find out the identity of the deceased. But ...... of the 19 missing."

"I have to stress first that some of the 19 missing people may be dead, some may still be alive, but they are all classified as 'missing persons' because no one, including us, can not be contacted or found, and there is a situation where no one is alive or dead."
