Chapter XXVII: Consolidation
After an autopsy, the deceased in the oak barrel was male, and the cause of death was very similar to Zhou Yi's, both of which were severe head injuries caused by skull fractures, caused by a blunt object hitting the skull.
Based on the fracture lines and fracture marks, it is likely that the blunt object used by the killer was a round wine bottle. It is suspected that it is the same as the murder weapon that killed Zhou Yi, it is a red wine bottle.
"Inform Lao Qin that the murder method in the two cases is the same, and the case can be considered for joint investigation." Ren Qiushi raised his head and said to Zeng Lan.
Zeng Lan nodded, and while cooperating with Ren Qiushi to do the autopsy work, he carefully recorded.
Now it appears that the killer killed people ten months ago, hiding the body in an oak barrel. A few days ago, he killed another person, and his body was discarded.
In both cases, the murder method was to hit the victim in the back of the head with a red wine bottle, but the way of disposing of the body was completely different, one hiding the body and the other throwing the body.
Both cases are related to the small underground workshop in the Lihua community, could the murderer be the same person? Was this small underground workshop also involved in the killings? Or did Yu Dazhuang happen to bring all the two corpses to this small workshop by recycling leftovers and kitchen waste?
Time was urgent, Ren Qiushi said to Zeng Lan: "Compare the cranial trauma of this corpse with Zhou Yi's skull trauma, and then sort out the current situation into a preliminary autopsy report and send it to the serious crime team, where we urgently need our autopsy results." I will go for a skull reconstruction to identify the deceased as soon as possible. ”
"Okay." Zeng Lan replied.
Now, the forensic department has to do not only confirm the identity of the deceased as soon as possible, but also find out what the connection is based on the autopsy of the two bodies, which involves whether the two cases can be investigated together. If the two can be combined, then this oak barrel hiding case will bring major clues and breakthroughs to Zhou Yi's missing case!
In the interrogation room, in order to clear his suspicion of murder, Yu Dazhuang cooperated very much with the police investigation, knew everything about our interrogation, and answered all questions.
"My small workshop has been open for more than two years, at first it was just to recycle kitchen waste to refine saliva and oil, and make some fried food, but this kind of three-no product is not easy to sell, and now the food supervision on the market is too strict, I have no choice, and I began to produce some raw materials for fried food, mainly fried chicken.
I have done market research, and the fried chicken restaurants in this city are all purchased from the factory in Changhong District, and the price is very cheap, I want to buy some goods from the factory and resell them to the fried chicken restaurant, but I can't make any money at all. The fried chicken restaurant can take the goods from the original price of the production area, so no one wants to take the goods from me.
Later, I found out that the factory in Changhong District has a complete industrial chain, and they buy breeding chickens from farms and slaughterhouses. Later, I contacted the farm and found that there are often dead and sick chickens on the farm, and there is no way for such chickens to pass the quarantine and can only be thrown away. So I bought it at a low price and prepared to imitate the factory in Changhong District to produce quick-frozen chicken nuggets.
But it's still that problem, no one buys the three-no product, so I thought of the brand of the counterfeit manufacturer. Later, when I collected the chicken scraps they didn't use from the factory, I found that they also produced red wine, so I decided to produce red wine again, again using this manufacturer's brand.
After a few attempts, everything was ready to go, and what was normal for me was almost as real as it could be. But I was still worried that no one would buy and use it, so I said that I was the manufacturer's agent, and I could deliver the counterfeit products I produced to the fried chicken shop at the manufacturer's price......"
After listening to Yu Dazhuang's story, I couldn't cry or laugh for a while.
This underground black workshop first produced counterfeit quick-frozen chicken nuggets from Baiyun Food Company, and then produced counterfeit red wine from Baiyun Food Company. It's really a sheep's wool, and all the goods are imitations of Baiyun Food Company.
"Do you have a grudge against Baiyun Food Company?" I asked him suddenly.
Yu Dazhuang shook his head and denied: "No hatred." ”
"No hatred?" I snorted and asked him a little strangely, "Then why do you keep using their company's trademark?" ”
"This ......" Yu Dazhuang hesitated, he didn't know the answer to this question.
All he knew was that he could produce what this factory produced. Moreover, once the counterfeit and shoddy products of the fraudulent brand are discovered by consumers, they will go directly to the factory and will not look for him.
With the backstabber and scapegoat, Yu Dazhuang ran this small underground workshop with peace of mind and made a profit from it.
At this moment, a crack opened in the door of the interrogation room, and Li Meng stood in the door and waved his hand at me.
Seeing this, I walked out the door, and Li Meng handed me an autopsy report: "This is the autopsy report of the oak barrel corpse, Ren Qiushi said that the two cases are very similar, and they can be considered for investigation." ”
I took the autopsy report and looked at it, this report was not detailed, only the cause of death was written, it was a red wine bottle hitting the back of the head, resulting in a skull fracture, head injury, and the same cause of death as Zhou Yi, even the model and size of the red wine bottle were exactly the same.
"Yu Dazhuang said that this oak barrel was collected from a Western restaurant on Back Street, and I have been to Back Street, where there is only one Western restaurant, and there is only one owner and one clerk in the store." I muttered.
"Is it the western restaurant where the fight happened?" Li Meng asked me suddenly.
I nodded.
"By the way, the medical examiner has just performed a skull restoration and is actively confirming the identity of the deceased, and there will be an answer soon." Li Meng said to me.
"Xue Hang, do they still have no clues?" I asked.
"Xue Hang is still investigating the factory area of Baiyun Food Company, Lin Zifan has gone to investigate Zhou Yi's classmates, and Jiang Tingbai has gone to investigate Yu Dazhuang's shop that recycles kitchen waste." Li Meng explained.
I stayed where I was and thought about it for a long time, these two cases seem to be separated for a long time, but the fatal injuries of the two cases are too similar, even if it is a coincidence, it will not be such a coincidence, the same model of red wine bottle, the same blow to the back of the head, even the location of the fracture, the direction of the fracture, and even the severity of the fracture are exactly the same.
It's too much of a coincidence......
"I think this oak barrel hiding case has a lot to do with the Zhou Yi case that we are investigating." Li Meng looked at the autopsy report in his hand, and suddenly frowned and said.
Her thoughts are the same as mine, and there are really few clues about Zhou Yi's case at the moment, and we have investigated from fried chicken restaurants, Baiyun Food Company, delivery drivers, underground black workshops, etc., but we still haven't found any clues.
At this time, I received a call from Officer Wang of the Criminal Police Team: "Team Qin, the identity of the deceased has been confirmed, and we have found a case of disappearance a year ago." After comparing the identity information, it is consistent with the deceased in the oak barrel. ”
