Chapter 16: The Artist with Mental Illness
Homicide is an illegal act, and even if the two parties reach an agreement and complete the agreement to kill, this kind of behavior will not be allowed by law.
There is a special legal entry in the law - instigating and aiding suicide.
According to article 232 of the Criminal Law, those who instigate or help others commit suicide shall be punished as the crime of intentional homicide.
There was a case in Xishi, a woman wanted to jump into the river to commit suicide, but she was timid, so she asked a passer-by to push him, and the passer-by did so, and was charged with intentional homicide. The public prosecution held that the passer-by clearly knew that pushing a person off the bridge down the river would cause death, but still pushed the victim down, and that he subjectively had the intention to kill and objectively intentionally and illegally deprived others of his life, and that his behavior was suspected of intentional homicide, and he was sentenced to three years and six months in prison.
In Taishi, a woman was diagnosed with cancer and multiple organ failures at the same time, and after treatment, her condition continued to deteriorate, accompanied by hemiplegia, incontinence and other symptoms. The woman couldn't stand the torture of illness and wanted to die, and her husband, who had taken care of him for many years, was like a knife and dissuaded him many times. But with the woman's repeated pleadings and painful wails, the husband began to waver, he bought rat poison, and the woman raised her head and drank it in one gulp. Finally, when the death certificate was issued, the police found that the cause of the woman's death was suspicious, and the husband revealed the truth. The local court sentenced the man to three years in prison, suspended for five years, for intentional homicide.
So in this case, did the murderer have this kind of act of helping others die? In the process of dismembering the corpse, do you devour the corpse parts?
In the cafeteria of the Beihuai Town Police Station, Li Meng and I glanced at each other, and a chill from my heart spread to my whole body, making my scalp tingle.
Forensic work for a long time will be immune to the state of the corpse and the smell of the corpse.
After working for a long time, the criminal police will be immune to all kinds of perverted homicide.
At noon, everyone in the serious crime team came to the office of the police station, and everyone yawned one by one, and after a long time of squatting and a long period of high mental concentration, they did not rest well at all. Human life is at stake, the case is an order, and everyone immediately plunges into the process of solving a new round of the case.
This time, Director Zheng personally led the team to conduct a thorough investigation of Xiao Liuzi's home, and also conducted a thorough investigation of the owner's home of the battery car, and no traces of murder or dismemberment were found, not even a black plastic bag that matched the murderer's body was found.
The owner of the battery car even said that the car had been parked downstairs for several days, and it had not been used, and he didn't know if he lost it.
As for the pelvis on the battery car, it is very likely that the murderer threw his body in the basket in front of him when he passed by.
Xiao Liuzi is suspected of stealing other people's property and has been criminally detained, because he is the only person who has seen the murderer with his own eyes so far in this case, and the follow-up investigation work may still need to learn clues through him, so he has not been transferred to the local detention center for the time being.
Wang Lu, the owner of the steamed bun shop, can only be detained for 48 hours at most because there is no direct evidence to prove that he has committed a crime. There is no subjective intent for him to use human flesh to make buns, nor does it constitute the crime of insulting the corpse, and he has been released by the Beihuai Town Police Station this morning.
After Jiang Tingbai carefully examined the black garbage bag he found last night, he still didn't find any valuable clues.
I took dozens of photos of different models of battery cars, and opened an online shopping platform, allowing Xiao Liuzi to identify all the battery car models.
Finally, he pointed to a battery car and said seriously: "This is the kind of thing." ”
Xiaoliuzi refers to a folding small battery car with an independent suspension system, silent transmission, and energy recovery system. It is a commonly used battery car for driving, also known as an ultra-light moped.
This kind of car is cheap and durable, and many people in Beihuai Town use it.
In the office of the Beihuai Town Police Station, I summarized all the current clues and summarized the current characteristics of the murderer: "The murderer is a male, a local, familiar with the surrounding environment of Beihuai Town and Nanhuai Town, suffering from mental illness, withdrawn personality, and violent tendencies. Profession is a landscape designer, with a small pruning chainsaw, watercolor painting skills, and a folding small battery car. ”
"There are no parks in Beihuai Town and Nanhuai Town, only a small square is counted as a small park, where there is no need for garden pruning at all, and the grass and trees are growing freely. Weeds are only pruned once every few months, using a weeding machine. Director Zheng said.
"The murderer is a local who has lived in the local area for a long time, if the workplace is not local...... Will it be working on the Internet? Li dreamed for a moment and said suddenly.
A landscape architect, working on the web?
"It is very likely that Li Meng's eldest sister said that generally the more powerful designers do not go out of the mountain, they design on the Internet, and send the designed drawings to the construction party. It's like interior decoration design, the designer only produces drawings, and the decoration is handed over to the construction team! Jiang Tingbai slapped his face and said very proudly.
Li Meng also agreed with Jiang Tingbai's analysis and echoed: "This is also in line with the murderer's withdrawn personality, he doesn't want to communicate with people, he can work on the Internet." ”
I was almost led astray by the conversation between the two singing and harmonizing, but I reacted in time and said, "Can you also see wood and paint watercolors on the Internet?" ”
Jiang Tingbai frowned and continued to think.
We found wood chips on one of the corpse parts, most likely left on the chainsaw, which inadvertently stuck to the body parts during the shredding process.
Forensic doctor Qin, who participated in the analysis of the case, sat in the corner, silently pondering, and pointed his chin with his index finger from time to time.
After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Who said that people who use pruning chainsaws will definitely come out to see wood?" ”
As soon as these words came out, all of us turned our eyes to him,
Forensic Doctor Qin paused and said lightly: "The pruning chainsaw doesn't necessarily have to be used for garden pruning, just like the murderer, he also used this chainsaw to cut the corpse." What I mean by this is that since the murderer has a withdrawn personality, he must not or rarely participate in social activities, such as he suffers from severe social phobia. And he has been killing people and dismembering corpses recently, and he will definitely do it in a closed place, and he will not take the initiative to go out of the house to participate in socializing. So is there a profession where you can also work from home, sawing wood, painting watercolors? ”
"You mean, he's a craftsman?" I asked immediately.
Forensic Doctor Qin nodded in agreement.
Craftsman, this reminds me again of the criminal profiling analysis that took place in the morning in the cafeteria and in Li Meng - an artist with a serious mental illness.
If he sells his art online, it is also in line with his long-term local life.
So, what kind of painting crafts did the murderer use of wood?
Wood and watercolor can be used to make pictures, ornaments, pendants, toys, furniture.
If we can identify the specific category of handicrafts made by the murderer, we can do so through the Internet as a buyer......
