Chapter 16: The Suitcase

Two civilian police cars were parked at the foot of the mountain, and not far away was the rushing river.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, we can clearly smell the fishy smell of the river and hear the sound of running water.

The river is about 100 meters wide, and it is the rainy season, and the opening of the reservoirs in the upper reaches of the river has caused the water level to rise quickly and the water is more fierce than in previous days.

The river has overflowed the improvised gravel dams on both banks, and it is easy to reach the river on foot as long as you pass through the weeds on the bank.

The rain in the rainy season is very abundant, and the weeds on the shore can reach the ankles, and some weeds have reached the calves.

Looking around, there are very few people set foot here, and there are no residential areas around, such an environment is indeed a good place to throw corpses.

"Let's go to the river." I beckoned Xiao Liu and the other criminal policemen to walk towards the river together.

Crossing mounds and gravel shallows, we came to the river, which was full of weeds.

"Officer Qin, do you think this is the first scene of the corpse?" Xiao Liu looked at the vast river and turned his head to ask me.

To be honest, I'm not sure, but at the moment, this is indeed the most likely place to dump the body.

A cold wind blew from across the river, and the weeds along the river fell one after another.

Following the direction of the wind, all the weeds are upside down, and the neat picture is the gospel of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

But there is a weed, which falls in the opposite direction.

"That grass is a little stubborn." I looked at the scene in front of me and smiled.

At this moment, I found the place where the body was dumped.

Before our eyes, there was a patch of lodging weeds, which had not straightened up even though the wind had stopped.

Squatting down and looking closely, the weeds in this area have traces of breaking, and the direction of the breaks is the same, it is obvious that this is someone walking towards the river from here, stepping on the weeds.

Unfortunately, there are some gravel here, and there are no obvious footprints, but there are two rows of narrow wheel prints.

"Someone has been here." Li Meng squatted on the ground, carefully looking at the traces on the weeds.

"The distance between the two rows of wheel prints is much wider than the left and right of the footprints, but the wheel prints and the footprints are not on the same line, but on one side of the footprints." I briefly measured the wheel prints and footprints left by the weeds when they fell. The wheel prints and footprints are not in a straight line, which indicates that this vehicle with wheels is not pushed, but pulled.

So what kind of thing has two narrow wheels that you have to pull and move?

"It's a suitcase!" Li Meng suddenly thought.

"You can notify the frogman team, salvage around here, there will definitely be a harvest." I stood up and looked at the river in front of me.

Li Meng pursed his lips: "The area is so large, it seems to be a big project." ”

"It's really difficult to salvage, Officer Qin, now that the body has been found, is there still a need to salvage?" Xiao Liu looked at me and asked a crucial question.

Now that the body has been found, and the autopsy results have also known the cause of death and the time of death, according to the traditional criminal investigation method, as long as the identity of the body is ascertained, and then start from the social relations of the deceased, as long as it takes some time, the murderer will definitely be found.

"Officer Qin, even if this is the first place to dump the corpse, what are we going to salvage?" A detective next to him asked.

"Salvage heavy objects used for sunken corpses." I said lightly.

"Isn't the weight the rock in the wild lake? What else to salvage? Xiao Liu suddenly asked me.

I shook my head and said slowly, "The stone that was salvaged from the wild lake weighs only five kilograms at best, and now the water is so turbulent that the five-kilogram stone can't reach the weight of sinking the body to the bottom of the lake. Since the murderer chose to throw the corpse in the river, the ultimate goal is to let the corpse sink to the bottom of the lake forever. At the time of the autopsy, the forensic doctor also said that there were strangulation marks on the wrists and ankles of the deceased, indicating that the murderer also tied heavy objects to the limbs of the deceased. ”

"Even if there is a heavy weight of sunken corpses here, how can you tell it from the rubble in the river?" Xiao Liu continued to ask me.

"Look for something that shouldn't be in the river, and maybe find a suitcase if you're lucky."

Judging from the current situation, a big living person suddenly evaporates from the world, and the people around him cannot notice much, if they can't be contacted, they will definitely choose to call the police.

After so many days, the body has been found by us, and no one has called the police, which just shows that the sudden disappearance of the deceased is known to the people around him.

Disappeared with the deceased, along with a suitcase.

After analyzing all kinds of situations, there is only one possibility, the deceased dragged a suitcase to travel!

In this way, even if the deceased suddenly disappears, the people around her will think that she is traveling and will not call the police.

At this moment, Xiao Liu's phone rang.

"Thor, huh...... Well...... Good...... I know...... I'll pass it on. ”

He hung up the phone, looked at me and said, "Officer Qin, Thor asked me to tell you that the identity of the deceased has been confirmed. ”

"Okay, tell the frogman team to start exploring underwater, let's go back."

……

"The deceased's name is Jin Tian, 24 years old, a teacher at an early education institution, who left his job two months ago and is now unemployed. The person who called the police was her best friend, saying that she had not been able to contact her for four days, and she was worried that something would happen to her, so she came to the police. ”

In the case analysis room, Thor sat on a chair and drank mineral water.

Li Meng and I sat in the corner, listening to their latest developments.

"Have the deceased's social relations been investigated?" Thor asked suddenly, his tone very majestic.

"It has been ascertained, according to the police, Jin Tian has a boyfriend, the two have been dating for two years, the relationship has been very good, they are currently living together, and they have begun to plan to get married. His boyfriend's name is Shao Gang, a local and a company employee. "A criminal police officer is telling Thor about the social relationship of the deceased Jin Tian.

Thor played with the empty mineral water bottle in his hand, and with a force of both hands, he flattened the mineral water bottle up and down and threw it into the trash: "My girlfriend lost it, my boyfriend didn't call the police, and I had to rely on my girlfriend to call the police." Needless to say? The couple quarreled with each other, had a quarrel, and finally started to move, and the boyfriend accidentally pushed the girlfriend down, hit her head, thought she was dead, and then threw ......"

Thor was halfway through his speech, and suddenly did not continue, because he had discovered a strange point.

If a couple quarrels and hurts someone by mistake, the first time should be to call an ambulance, and the body should not be dumped......

Thor thought about it and stood up suddenly: "Let's go, bring Jin Tian's boyfriend over to understand the situation!" ”
