Chapter 11: Hornets Kill

The victim in this case was a male who was tied up under a large willow tree, covered in honey, and stung alive by a wasp.

It can be seen from the pendant around the neck that the same murderer committed the crime.

Xue Hang took out a Swiss Army knife from his pocket, pulled out the blade, and slowly stepped forward to cut the rope, deliberately keeping the knot.

Everyone stepped forward together, carefully carrying the body to the side of the road and putting it in a body bag, and a few wasps were unwilling to leave, so they were loaded into it.

Hornets are very belligerent compared to bees, and bees can pay with their lives if they attack, as they can attack enemies multiple times due to the non-venomous glandular caps on their stingers.

Although our movements were already extremely slow and careful, they still annoyed the wasps. The hornets swarmed up, their wings vibrating at high frequencies and making a piercing buzzing sound, and the swarm formed an attack formation in the air like a well-trained army.

Even though we were wearing bee-proof suits, the hornets still hunched over, showing their stingers at the end of their tails, and attacked us desperately.

"Where's the medicine! Medicine! Fast! I buried myself and shouted.

A criminal policeman immediately picked up the pesticide sprayer next to him, frantically pressurized it with his left hand, and aimed the sprinkler head at the wasp with his right hand.

The insecticide sprayed out in the form of a mist, and the hornets "crashed" one after another, and the rest immediately turned around and rushed towards the detective.

Under the cover of pesticides, all of us ran back to the police car with body bags.

Everyone moved quickly, closed the car door with their backhands, and the captain of the criminal police quickly started the car and accelerated away.

Xue Hang opened the window of the car and drove out a few wasps in the car that were following up.

Although our opponent was a hornet, it still gave us a feeling of escaping death, and it was hard to imagine the feeling of powerlessness when the deceased was tied under a tree and faced with a swarm of wasps.

"We must do a good job in dealing with the aftermath of the hornet invasion, organize the police and members of the village committee, and vigorously exterminate the bees, and this hidden danger cannot be left." Su Yumei commanded.

"Don't worry, Team Su." The captain of the criminal police replied.

The car sped all the way back to the county public security bureau, we did not stop, immediately changed into the police car of the city bureau, all the way back to the Qingfeng City Public Security Bureau, and began the autopsy work.

In the autopsy room, the forensic doctor slowly opened the body bag, and several wasps flew out of it.

Xue Hang reacted quickly, immediately picked up the dissecting gown hanging on the wall, pulled out all the wasps, and picked up the specimen jar next to him to cover it.

The wasp problem was solved, and the autopsy officially began.

The medical examiner, with the help of his assistants, peeled off the honey from the corpse little by little and put it into a glass container.

"Without a dozen catties of honey, he will definitely not be able to wrap him." Su Yumei looked at the corpse, her face was embarrassed, and it was estimated that she would never eat honey again in the future.

About three hours later, the preliminary autopsy results came in.

The deceased was a male, over 60 years old, with gray hair and bald on the top of his head, with only hair on the sides. Wearing tank tops and shorts flip-flops, except for the back, the whole body can not find any good skin, and the face is stung by a wasp and cannot see its original appearance. Apart from the hemp rope restraint injuries on the wrists and ankles, no resistance injuries were found. The time of death was between 1 and 3 a.m. today.

The cause of death was the same as we suspected, it was stung alive by a wasp. Forensic doctors found a large amount of wasp toxins in the deceased's body, which caused the deceased to breathe and suffocated to death.

"This is torture comparable to Ling Chi." Lin Zifan let out a long sigh.

"I just took a closer look at the knot that tied the deceased, it was a figure-eight knot, and the knot on Wang Dahai's body was also a figure-eight knot, indicating that this is a case of serial murder and meets the conditions for joint investigation." Jiang Tingbai said.

It was indeed a serial killing, and in addition to the same hedgehog pendant, there was also a blood analysis from the autopsy report. The medical examiner found the same drug ingredients in the deceased's blood as in Wang Dahai's blood. All of them can make people's bodies feel numb while staying conscious, but the residual dose is very low, and the specific drug ingredients cannot be detected.

Subsequently, the medical examiner compared the tranquilizer ingredients I brought back from the psychiatric hospital, and although they could not be consistent, there was a great similarity between the two.

At this time, Su Yumei walked quickly into the case analysis room with a file.

"The identity of the deceased has been confirmed, let's take a look." She pulled one out of the file and handed it to me.

I took the file, and here's a resume:

The deceased's name was Liu Changchun, 62 years old, who was a judge of the Qingfeng City People's Court......

"Court judges? Could it be that he ...... "I vaguely guessed something.

Su Yumei nodded, and immediately said: "That's right, he served as the presiding judge in the court prosecution of Wang Dahai's robbery and murder case twenty years ago. ”

When everyone heard this, they all understood the connection between the two cases.

Li Meng said: "The murderer was killed after being released from prison, and the judge in charge of the trial of the case was killed. Now the facts of the case are very clear, there is a direct relationship between the murderer and the case 20 years ago, he is not satisfied that the murderer did not carry out the death penalty, and he has committed a revenge murder against the murderer and the judge. He is avenging the victims of the year and enforcing the so-called justice. ”

"In a society governed by the rule of law, no justice can be above the law, let alone a reason to arbitrarily deprive others of their lives. In the long run, the law will be like nothing! Xue Hang said sharply.

Su Yumei agreed, and this is exactly what we do as police officers.

Then, she took out a report from the folder in her hand and said: "When I was investigating Liu Changchun's social relations, I made some new discoveries. Mr. Liu, who moved into the resort when he retired two years ago, seemed ready to retire here, renting a farmhouse and paying five years' rent at once. And I also found that Liu Changchun has a special habit, he especially likes to drink honey, every time he encounters good honey, he will buy a lot of it, we found several large barrels of honey in the yard where he lives, several of which have been empty, it seems that the murderer used the honey in his barrel, but unfortunately we did not extract valid fingerprints on the honey barrel. ”

Jiang Tingbai directly gasped: "Killing him with his favorite thing is indeed very creative, and Wang Dahai's death method is also creative." ”

"Bees are a very disciplined group and don't travel at night, and even if honey can attract wasps, how does the killer control hornets to travel at night?" Xue Hang mentioned a key issue.

Li Meng added: "A large piece of honeycomb was found at the scene of the crime, and the murderer demolished the hornet's home. ”

"There won't be a hornet's nest in the village, where did the honeycomb come from?" I asked.

Su Yumei thought for a while: "I heard from the criminal police of the county public security bureau that there is a beekeeping base in the back mountain of the resort. ”
