11. Consolidated Investigation
The tanned corpse was shriveled and could not be traced in its stomach. The skin of his hands and feet is as hard as leather, and the texture of his arms and ankles is torn and broken, and his bones are slightly cracked, which should be caused by the struggle of being bound by ropes before his death.
Lao Su examined the corpse repeatedly, but he couldn't find too many clues. The facial features of the corpse were as withered as leather, and the appearance could not be recognized. If you want to find an identity, you can only find people who disappeared a year to a year and a half ago to compare, but at that time, the technical means were backward, coupled with the chaotic situation, the population mobility was too large, and it was impossible to find it. Unless the murderer is caught and the facts of the case are tried, it can only be an unsolved case.
Han Daring remembered the drop-shaped horn, so he told Lao Su about the previous discovery. I hope that Lao Su is looking for clues on the floating corpse. But the corpse had already been taken away by the family, but when Lao Su re-examined it before, a small piece of meat scrap was found between the teeth of the corpse.
Lao Su also wanted to tell Han Daring about the discovery, but it happened that he asked and told him. Lao Su has practiced medicine for many years, and has dealt with corpses for so many years, and when he looks at it with a magnifying glass, he knows that it is a piece of human flesh.
That trace of human flesh is very small, stuck between the teeth and not easy to detect, it should be that the murderer was bitten off a piece of meat by the deceased and swallowed in his stomach, and a trace of human flesh remained between the deceased's teeth, and the piece of meat swallowed should not be large, so it was digested by gastric juice and was not found.
At that time, there was no way to test and compare human flesh, so this clue was not very useful. After the examination of this tanned corpse, Han Dada'er already had a plan in his heart, the floating corpse case and the tanned corpse case should be committed by the same murderer, but the tanned corpse case is not his own management, and the floating corpse case has been decided and drowned, even if he proposes to combine the case for investigation, his official position is small, and his boss will definitely not agree, only like the floating corpse case, secret investigation is the best policy.
Han Daring and Lao Su stayed in the morgue for more than two minutes, making them stink all over their bodies. Han Daring planned to invite Lao Su to take a big bath, but Lao Su had long been accustomed to the smell of corpses, so he couldn't refuse, so Han Daring went to Yuqing Pool in Nanshi by himself.
In the old days, there were many big bathhouses in Tianjin, and many old and young masters loved to soak in the bathhouse, and some had three meals a day in the bathhouse, nicknamed Tang putty. At that time, Tianjin Wei had dozens of large bathhouses such as "Huaqing Pond", "Yuqing Pond" and "Longquan Pond", among which the most famous was the "Yuqing Pond" which had the reputation of the first pool in North China. ”
On the first floor of Yuqing Pond is a bath and shower, and the Republic of China received ordinary people at that time. There is a bath on the second floor, and those who are rich can also go to the second floor to take a bath alone, which is cleaner and more hygienic. There is also a partition room on the third floor, which is equivalent to a private room, which is not affordable for ordinary people.
The old and young masters took off their nakedness, soaked in the pool, and shouted twice "Good water!" "When I was comfortable in the pool, I came up and took a shower with soap. In the hall of the bathhouse, there are also single beds, separated by wooden boards, two beds separated by two beds, two beds side by side, and a small table between the heads of the beds. After taking a shower, wrap a bath towel, lie down on the bed, pedicure, massage, and scraping. When it's all over, I want a pot of tea, a plate of chopped sand woer green radish, quench your thirst and breathe, that is really "the radish is hot tea, and the doctor is so angry that the doctor crawls all over the street".
The bathhouse tea is fragrant and high-broken, the fragrant piece is jasmine tea, the high-crushed is the high-grade tea residue, and there is a kind of high foam, which is a high-grade tea foam, which can only be brewed once and cannot be mixed with water. If you really want to drink some Longjing and Pu'er here, you really don't have it.
You can also bring your own tea leaves and ask the bathhouse guys to make them. To be honest, with this sand nest green radish, you have to match it with high crushed to taste right. After eating and drinking, he took a cigarette, and then squinted at it, and he was more comfortable, and he didn't change it for an emperor.
Tianjin gentlemen, they can eat, drink and enjoy, and they can afford to enjoy hardships and blessings. Don't look at such an ordinary thing as taking a bath, it can be regarded as a great enjoyment in Tianjin Weina.
Han Daring soaked in the steaming pool, and the bones of his body were comfortable, and he was relieved. He looked at the pond water, but remembered the case of the tanned corpse and the floating corpse. When I was in school, I read a lot of books in the library of the church school and saw some foreign books, and then I remembered some books that described the psychology of murderers.
He tried to reason about the case according to what was written in the book. Xindao, the two cases are at least a year apart, and the modus operandi is the same, why did it take so long to commit the crime again. Isn't it in Tianjin Wei during this time? Or was he arrested and imprisoned at the yamen? He pondered that if neither of these possibilities was correct, it meant that the murderer had committed a crime during the year, but the body was hidden somewhere else. But if so, why did he hide the other corpses, but threw three corpses into the river, and one corpse sank at the bottom of the pool?
Han Daring thought of the big pit where the tanned corpse sank, when he passed by at the beginning of last year, there was no water there and it was just a dirt pit, because of the heavy rain last year, and the diversion of the nearby canal, so the city was flooded. This time, the body was found because someone was swimming in the pit and was hooked by the corpse's fingers, and the tanned corpse was able to see the light of day. Therefore, the murderer used to bury the corpse at the bottom of the pit, but later in the flooded city, the soil where the corpse was buried was moist, and it turned into silt after a long soaking, and then the phenomenon of tanning the corpse appeared.
The murderer is now throwing the corpse at will, obviously with a fearless skill, and the tanned corpse may be because it is the first time to commit the crime, so he used the method of burying the bottom of the corpse pit and covering up the traces of the corpse. Perhaps the murderer's residence is not far from the pit where the body is buried, so choose a more familiar and safe environment to bury the body.
Han Da'er remembered that some seniors had said that many murderers would hide their bodies at the bottom of the stove or bury them in their own yards, just because they were familiar with the environment and could constantly monitor changes in the situation. But when throwing the corpse, if you carry the corpse from Nankai to the South Canal, the road is too far, and it will not be easy to be exposed. Unless the murderer changed his residence and moved to the vicinity of the north gate of the old city of Tianjin, near the South Canal, it would not make sense.
He thought about dozens of possibilities in a row, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly felt dizzy, it turned out that he had soaked in the pool for too long, and the skin of his hands and feet was wrinkled and white, and if he soaked again, he would almost become a river drifter.
Han Daring drank a pot of tea in the bathhouse, squinted again, and met someone when he went out. The two of them went out and went in and took a look, and Han Da'er saw that this person was not tall, and his nose was black, and he was the one who had been sent out to inquire about the news.
When she saw Han Daring, she knew that it was too late to run, so she could only nod her head and talk to her with a hippie smile. Han Da'er knew that he had the intention to avoid him, and he was not angry, and was about to ask about the things he had explained before, but he said first:
"Han Tou'er, I'm looking for you everywhere, I'm inquiring about what you explained!"
Han Daring was immediately overjoyed when he heard him say this, but after thinking about it, this kid saw that I wanted to run, maybe this is the dog first door curtain - deal with me with my mouth! So he dragged Nose to a corner where no one was around, and wanted to ask in detail.
The nose patted her stomach and said with a weak face:
"Okay! In order to inquire about this news for you, both of our legs have run thin, and we haven't sacrificed to the Five Organs Temple yet, and now we are all close to the back! ”
Han Daring said:
"I don't have food in my stomach, and I dare to soak in the bathhouse, and I'm not afraid of fainting and drowning in the pool!"
After speaking, he pushed his nose and said:
"Let's go!"
Knowing why, Nose asked:
"Where are we going?"
Han Daring said:
"Where else can I go......"
He glared at the nose again and scolded:
"What a starving ghost!"
Then take him and walk to Yishen Street on the left.
In the early years, when he learned to play legs with the Hui master, the master always brought Han Daring here to eat mutton stuffed dumplings. This dumpling restaurant is not big, and there are not many people, only the two tables at the door, there are two old men drinking, one is bringing a few tiger beans to drink. Tiger beans are fried broad beans, and the skin of broad beans is fried to open its mouth, which resembles a tiger, hence its name. The other old man was even more peculiar, he carried an iron nail, and instigated a sip of wine. In the past, there was a group of old men in Nanshi, who loved to drink like this, and if they were good, they would bring a crab to catch, and if they were poor, they would have an iron nail, or soy sauce to soak pebbles, and drink while instigating.
The two of them sat down and asked for a pound of mutton stuffed dumplings and four taels of pots. The dumplings have not yet been served, and the slugger has already flowed out two feet long. The hot dumplings were served, and the nose was not polite, so he picked one up and put it in his mouth, can that thing not be hot just out of the pot, and he screamed at the time, and spit out the dumplings back into the vinegar dish. Seeing that Han Daring was disgusted.
Sabu picked up the dumplings again, and while blowing the hot air, he stuffed it into his mouth, and the hot air did not dissipate, so hot that he went straight out. Han Daring saw that he was really hungry, so he waited for him to eat enough and spun a plate of dumplings before he asked him:
"You said you inquired, hurry up and say that you inquired!"
Duck Nose lowered her head to eat dumplings, raised her eyes and glanced at Han Da'er slightly, quickly retracted her eyes, swallowed a dumpling, and said with a difficult face:
"The person you asked me to find, is there really nothing!"
Han Da'er was anxious when he heard this, and he was about to scold when he opened his mouth, but he saw that he bowed with both hands and said:
"Don't worry, I really didn't lie to you about this meal, I don't dare to lie to you if I lend me ten guts......"
As he spoke, he stuffed another dumpling into his mouth and said:
"The person you said didn't find, but I inquired about another person, maybe it's the one you're looking for!"
Han Daring said:
"Speak quickly, speak quickly! Don't just eat! ”
He ate several dumplings in a row, choked him and rolled his eyes, drank another glass of wine, and then went down smoothly, only then did he grin and breathe, and it took a long time to ease up and speak:
"Hey! Owe a little bit to get back in place! ”
Han Da'er glared at him, and he was afraid that he wouldn't dare to be poor anymore, so he hurriedly told him what he had heard.
If you want to say that Langzhong, who is tall and strong and has very big hands, he really didn't find it, but he found another guy, this guy has a nickname called "Strong" because of his height and strength!
