Since the case of Zhu Lili's cemetery came out, this Jiangcheng city has become extremely unpeaceful, and all kinds of strange cases have appeared one after another. In Li Fei's words, before Zhu Lili died, our criminal police team might not be able to encounter a tricky case for most of the year, after all, Jiangcheng is only a small city, and there are very few homicides. Even if there is an occasional case, it is clear in the context, easy to investigate, and easy to handle.

Now it is different from the past, the popularization of the law is vigorous, the consciousness of the masses is high, and most of the offenders will choose to turn themselves in voluntarily in the end and strive for leniency.

Things like the cemetery case and the human skin lantern case have never been done before.

Ten minutes ago, the criminal police team received an invitation from the Xiaohe Police Station in Guancheng District, saying that someone had found a floating corpse while fishing in the river. The body was packed in a red suitcase, which was washed ashore by the river and stuck in the grass on the shore. There were a few fishermen near the bushes, and when they saw the suitcase, they began to joke that it might contain corpses.

This kind of plot abounds in suspense dramas and criminal investigation bureaus, and those few fishermen just talked casually, never thinking that there was really a corpse in this suitcase.

It rained in Jiangcheng for several days, and the rain was not heavy, but it also made the river water. Judging from the traces on the suitcase, the suitcase was originally tied with rope and sunk in the river. Probably because the rope fell off or was broken, the suitcase floated up from the bottom of the river and washed up to the shore with the surging current.

In a sweltering environment, a corpse in the open air can form a giant view in three days. Forensic doctors are not afraid of disgust, but they are afraid that some clues and evidence will be lost after the corpse decomposes. Fortunately, the body was packed in a suitcase, but fortunately it was the end of September, and fortunately, it was relatively cool for the past few days because of the rain, so they were still relatively optimistic about the preservation of the body.

Liang Zhijie: They arrived at the scene with the forensic doctor. There are not many people by the river, and most of them are standing on the embankment far away from the scene, except for the police from the Xiaohe Police Station, the only one left is the reporter.

There are three informants, namely 56-year-old Lao Ma, 44-year-old Lao Li and 26-year-old Xiaohu. Among them, Lao Ma and Lao Li are fish partners, that is, they often meet fishing companions together, and Xiaohu only met when he came out to fish today.

The one who squatted on the ground and smoked was Lao Ma, the one who lowered his head and didn't know what to think was Lao Li, and the one next to him who was dancing with the police comrades and talking with excitement was Xiaohu. The trunk was hooked up by him with the hook of the old horse.

"That's where the suitcase gets stuck!" Xiao Hu pointed into the river: "Just those two willow trees, they originally grew on the bank of the river, but recently the river has swelled and flooded them." The suitcase went down the river and got stuck in the middle of the willow bars, and I lost my eyes, or it would have drifted away. ”

"You got the suitcase?"

"I caught it! No, no, no, it can't be regarded as what I fished, that thing is quite heavy, if it wasn't for Uncle Ma and them to help me, I wouldn't be able to catch it. The hooks used to catch the boxes are all Uncle Ma's, they are professional-grade hooks and fishing lines, and the broken rod I bought casually is not good, and it will break after a pull. ”

Xiaohu glanced at the ripped fishing rod on the ground.

"What's the case with the suitcase?"

"The red one floats on the river, and when it comes to the river, the zipper is still fine." Xiaohu introduced: "This suitcase is quite old, I guess I bought it when I was in school a few years ago, anyway, when I was in college, there were a lot of such suitcases all over the campus." ”

"Did you smell anything special when you pulled the suitcase to the riverbank, such as the rotting smell of a corpse?"

"At first, it didn't, just the fishy smell of the river. Later, when I heard it, I felt that something was wrong, and I thought that our guess might be true. Xiao Hu unconsciously lowered his voice: "When we saw the suitcase, we guessed that there was a corpse inside, or someone threw the suitcase into the river." ”

"Did you open the suitcase directly?"

"No, just opened a slit." Xiao Hu gestured with his hand: "I pulled it, and asked Brother Li to shine it in with the flashlight on his mobile phone." We didn't see the body, we saw a red corner. The thing in it smells so bad that you can't talk about it if it's not a corpse. ”

"Who called the police?"

"I called the police, using Brother Li's phone. My phone ran out of battery while playing games by the river. Xiao Hu took out his mobile phone: "It's really out of power." ”

"It's out of battery, but you have to keep this phone number, in case something comes to you in the future." The police counted the contact information of the three people and then asked them to leave from another road along the river.

At this point, the red suitcase has been moved to a place with a better view and a drier floor.

When I opened the suitcase, I saw a pink baby quilt. The quilt crumpled over the woman's body. The deceased was a girl, and judging by her height and physical signs, she should have been around five or six years old. The body was curled up in a suitcase, and it was fairly well preserved.

Two obvious scars were found on the girl's body, one on the arm, which was a scald and covered almost the entire right forearm. The other was on the left side of the girl's skull, a blow wound. As far as the wound is concerned, it must have hit the corner of the table or a rectangular, angular coffee table. The girl was strangled to death, and the choke marks on her neck were more obvious. In addition, the girl's death was no more than 12 hours ago, and it is highly likely that she was killed last night at her home and dumped by the river, not far from her home.

There are many villages on both sides of the river, and combined with the analysis of the recent rise of the river and the flow rate of the river, they have mapped out a few of the most likely villages, and asked the police at the police station to cooperate in the search.

In less than two hours, news came from the household registration police that the little girl's surname was Liu, her name was Tongtong, she was a villager from Wangwan Village, six and a half years old this year, and she was still in kindergarten preschool.

Tongtong's parents divorced when she was one year old, and the reason for the divorce was that her father cheated in marriage and borrowed a lot of foreign debts. At the time of the divorce, Tongtong's custody belonged to her father, and her mother Wang Na paid 600 yuan per month in child support. Half a year later, Tongtong's father remarried and turned the monthly alimony of 600 yuan into 1,000 yuan, on the grounds that Tongtong grew up and had more places to spend money. Tongtong's mother disagreed, so her father sent her to her grandfather, saying that if the money was not in place, he would not fulfill his obligation to support her.

In order to ask Tongtong's mother for money, he tried his best to toss his daughter. He once posted a short video of beating his daughter on the Internet, and buried his daughter alive, and after the incident was exposed, he was educated by the relevant departments. Tongtong's mother had fought for custody of her daughter from him, but because Tongtong's mother had no fixed residence and her salary was not high, she could not provide Tongtong with better living conditions, and the lawsuit finally ended with mediation by mutual agreement.

Two years after remarrying, Tongtong's stepmother gave birth to a younger brother, and her father thought she was redundant and wanted to send her back to her mother. But Tongtong's mother also remarried, the man is married for the second time, the family conditions are not good, and he has two children, so he can't raise Tongtong. In the past few years, Tongtong has been living with her grandfather.
