Ren Qiushi pondered for a while, first nodded, and then shook his head.

"I can't be sure how many murderers there were, but the results of the autopsy so far are like this."

I nodded and listened to him continue.

Ren Qiushi put on his medical gloves again and pointed to a wound on his neck: "Although the head has been cut off, the wound has been preserved intact." The fatal wound of the deceased was in the throat, three centimeters long, which cut the carotid artery and neck muscles, with little force, but a fatal blow. The murder weapon is very sharp and thin, and it is similar to a carving knife, a utility knife, and a planing knife. The corpse was bleeding profusely and acutely, and the corpse spots were barely visible on the skin. At the scene of the crime, there were fan-shaped splatters of blood, and the deceased should have had his throat cut while standing, and then fell directly to the ground on his back and died. ”

Although the corpse has a head, it is about 1.8 meters tall by visual inspection, and its figure is relatively strong, and it can cut the throat of an adult male with a knife, and the murderer's physical fitness is also extremely high.

Ren Qiushi glanced at me, seemed to see through my thoughts, and added: "I found no traces of struggle on the deceased's body, nor did I have any traces of restraint. ”

"Acquaintances commit crimes." We speak in unison, and we have worked together for many years.

The office building at the scene of the crime was in the deepest part of the factory and had been abandoned for a long time, and if it were not for a strong purpose, no one would have gone there at all, let alone climb to the eighteenth floor without an elevator.

In this way, both the deceased and the murderer must have been inextricably linked to Zheng's construction company.

"The deceased's chest was opened, the incision was 20 centimeters long, the cut was flat and the depth was the same, consistent with the fatal wound in the neck, and it was an extremely sharp and thin knife. The deceased's ribs were intact, and the heart, lungs, stomach, liver, and spleen were taken away, leaving only the kidneys and some intestines. ”

The general homicide case pursues lethality, and the head is removed to hide the identity of the deceased. Why is it so painstaking to remove the internal organs? There is also the act of filling the straw, which seems to be even more excessive.

"Old Qin? What do you think of? ”

Seeing that I didn't speak, Ren Qiushi asked me tentatively.

"Nothing, you continue."

"After extracting the intestinal digestive residue for examination, the time of death can be determined to be between 10 and 11 a.m. on August 27, due to the lack of stomach, it is difficult to determine what the deceased ate before his death, but it can be concluded that no drugs such as hallucinogens were found in the deceased's body, and he had drunk a lot of alcohol before his death."

Drinking, acquaintances committing crimes, Zheng Pingping's construction company, Zheng Pingping has become the core of this case.

"You just said that the deceased was dismembered by two different murder weapons, with different strength, angle and technique?" I asked him.

He went around to the other side of the planing table and pointed to the neck of the corpse: "Old Qin, look here." ”

The muscles of the deceased's neck were very obviously torn, and even Ren Qiushi, who had read countless corpses, couldn't help but shudder, with such a wound of this shape, the deceased's head was clearly torn off.

"The murder weapon with a fatal wound to the neck is obviously different from the murder weapon with the head removed, the blade is long and thick, and the sharpness is not as good as the former, it should be a murder weapon such as a kitchen knife and a machete. Compared to the composure of the internal organs, the head was significantly more anxious and used brute force. ”

After speaking, Ren Qiushi handed me the sorted autopsy report: "These are the only things that have been found so far, and I will inform you if there are any new discoveries." ”

"Okay, thank you." I reached out to pat him on the shoulder, but the smell of corpses from his body made me retract my hand in time.

"It's okay, I'll wait for you to have supper tonight." Ren Qiushi smiled at me as usual.

A forensic doctor who works with corpses all day long, that smile is very creepy.

"It's okay to eat supper, but you'd better soak it in rice washing water first, the smell of corpses on your body is really getting heavier."

After saying goodbye to Ren Qiushi, we walked out of the forensic department, Li Meng's face was pale, and it seemed that the appearance of the corpse made her a little uncomfortable. I quipped, "Haven't you eaten yet?" There is a braised stew opposite and it tastes great! ”

Li Meng let out a few retching sounds and glared at me angrily: "Although I am not the Sanda champion of the police team, my whip leg will make you lame for a few days." ”

I shrugged my shoulders and shut my mouth just in time, the plaster on my ankle hadn't been removed yet, and I didn't want to put one on my leg.

Now that the facts of the case are somewhat clear, all the clues point to Zheng Pingping's construction company, Zheng Pingping has become the core of this case, and the top priority is to find Zheng Pingping as soon as possible.

As soon as I got out of the forensic department, my phone rang, and it was Lin Zifan calling.

"Team Qin, after receiving a report, a human head was found in the trash can in the park, and I have led the team to the scene."

Then I received a picture from the scene.

"Something new?" Li Meng walked up to me and asked me.

I pursed my lips, didn't speak, and handed her the phone.

In the picture is a man's head, his facial muscles are severely distorted, his face is pale, his eyes are wide with anger, and he looks dead. It's scary, and just one look at this face will linger in your mind.

Li Meng just glanced at it, and quickly ran into the bathroom and vomited.

Originally, I was fine, but when I heard her vomiting, I couldn't control it and ran into the bathroom.

An hour later, Li Meng and I sat in the office of the task force, each staring at the boxed lunch in front of us, and neither of us had the intention of moving chopsticks.

After a while, Lin Zifan walked in and looked at me with a serious face: "Team Qin, after inspection, the head found in the trash can belongs to the headless body of the 8.28 homicide. ”

"Have you identified the deceased?" I asked immediately.

Lin Zifan took a deep breath: "Zheng level." ”

"Huh?!"

Zheng Ping is the core of this case, and I was expecting to find some clues from him, but I didn't expect him to be the deceased in this case.

Half an hour later, the task force conducted the first summary of clues.

"The deceased Zheng Pingping, male, 39 years old, 178 cm tall, 80 kg in weight, legal person of Changchun Construction Company, engaged in building renovation and interior decoration business. Three years ago, due to a construction accident, an employee was smashed and his hands were broken, and at the same time, it was revealed that there was a problem with the quality of construction. After the incident, Zheng Pingping refused to compensate the injured employees and ran away with money. He was sued six months later, and the court enforced it, paying civil compensation to the injured employees and making up the wages owed to more than 1,000 employees.

Half a year ago, Zheng Pingping decided to make a comeback and hired a large number of former employees.

After an investigation of his social relations, Zheng Ping was often an alcoholic and moody, and after the company collapsed, his wife divorced him, and Zheng Ping is currently single and living alone. Lin Zifan gave an overview of the situation of the deceased Zheng Pingping.

I projected the autopsy report onto the big screen: "I just came back from the forensic department, and the deceased had three wounds on his body, a fatal wound to the neck, from top to bottom. It can be preliminarily judged that the height of the murderer was at least 178 centimeters or more. The second wound was on the chest, the knife edge was smooth, and there was no panic, and the third wound was on the upper part of the neck, and the murder weapon and strength had changed, so the possibility of the gang committing the crime could not be ruled out. ”

Jiang Tingbai sat on the chair without saying a word, nodding his head from time to time.

"Old dog, you are an authority on traceology, tell me about your findings." I gave him a look.

Jiang Tingbai stood up and cleared his throat: "A total of three footprints were found at the scene of the crime. ”

The three footprints also corroborate a planned gang murder.

"After trace detection, the No. 1 footprint is from the deceased Zheng Pingping; The second footprint, the shoe size is 41, the height is between 160 and 170, and the weight is about 70 kg; What's weirder is the footprint three, which is only half a foot. ”

"Half a foot?" I was stunned.

"Yes, and the first half of the foot." Jiang Tingbai added.

"You mean, Footprint Three has been walking on tiptoe?" Xue Hang was very surprised,

"I'm afraid no one can walk on tiptoe all the time, let alone tiptoe up to the eighteenth floor."

The facts of the case had just become clearer, and a strange footprint once again shrouded the case with a layer of fog. Lost entrails, filled straw, and mysterious altar patterns at the scene, there are still many mysteries that remain unsolved.

"Hasn't the person who reported the homicide been found yet?" I asked.

Lin Zifan shook his head: "The technical investigation department has done its best, and the report phone number is a new calling card, which has not been bound by real name, and the specific location cannot be traced." The head was found in a garbage can in the park, which was found by an old man who was scavenging. The criminal police team is also investigating the park's surveillance and will soon be able to locate the suspect. ”

The human head is randomly abandoned in the park's garbage can, which is contrary to the original purpose of hiding the identity.

"Li Meng, share your criminal profile." I say.

Li Meng looked at the file in his hand, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "The murderer is male, medium in stature, thin and short, and should be between thirty and forty years old. Higher education, outstanding professional skills, neat appearance, looks polite and decent, has a solid family background, has had serious psychological trauma, often shows a state of unconfidence, because of an accident, resulting in a family downfall, since then depressed, suicidal tendencies and violent tendencies, but the psychological quality is excellent. ”

"Investigate Zheng Ping's social relations, as well as the former employees of the construction company, especially the employee who was injured and broke his hand, and focus on the personnel who meet the conditions for profiling."
