Officer Wang asked the criminal police at the scene about the situation, and the serious crime team immediately intervened in the investigation, and Lin Zifan went to ask the old man who called the police; Xue Hang went to observe the surrounding environment, do a simulation of the case, and find the murderer's entry and exit routes; Jiang Tingbai did a trace survey at the door of the color steel house; Li Meng and I and my colleagues from the forensic medicine department walked into the Caigang room to conduct an autopsy on the scene.

There is no light in the color steel room, a ray of sunlight shines in through the window, and under the illumination of the sun, all the dust in the air appears.

The room was still in its original state, a whole roasted "sheep" was set on the stove, the criminal police had extinguished the charcoal fire, and everything else had not moved.

The deceased was naked, face down on the stove, and his body was arranged in a large figure.

The whole body is pierced by three five-meter-long steel bars, two of which run through the deceased's lower leg and the other end through the deceased's forearm.

A steel bar in the middle, penetrating through the deceased's lower body and protruding from the deceased's mouth......

This is an ancient punishment called "sandalwood punishment", also called "ash punishment". However, in this case, it is most appropriate to call it "steel punishment".

Sandalwood is to cut sandalwood into the shape of a pointed long rod, and then put it into sesame oil to boil, add dough and raw beef, and then take it out, so that the sandalwood is contaminated with the smell of grain and meat. After three or five days of cooking, the sandalwood will become a hard and pliable material, so that the torture instrument is ready.

Then the prisoner is asked to lie down on the case, and the torture instrument is used to beat the torture instrument from the prisoner's lower body into the body little by little, and finally through the throat. It is recorded in ancient books that during this kind of punishment, sandalwood will avoid the vital organs in the prisoner's body, so the prisoner will not die immediately, but will wail for three days and three nights.

The case was pierced by steel bars, and the deceased died instantly.

Judging from the situation of the corpse, the deceased was a woman, and after a comparison of the cranial images, this person was the suspect in this case, "Sister Yue".

The deceased was face down, and the burns on the anterior body were the most severe, with all the hair burnt and severe atrophy of the musculature of the body. The superficial skin has been charred, and pseudo-fissures have appeared in many places.

Due to the high temperature of the deceased, the muscles of the wound through which the steel bar penetrated were severely charred, and it took us a lot of effort to remove the steel bar from the body of the deceased, leaving only a central steel bar that ran through the body of the deceased.

The deceased was lifted to a medical isolation mat and adjusted to a supine-up position for further on-site autopsy by the forencier.

Ren Qiushi came to the head position of the deceased, carefully observed, the deceased's face had been seriously atrophied by high-temperature charcoal-grilled skin, gently opened the corners of the deceased's eyes, and did not find that the outer corners of the eyes were blackened by smoke and resembled pale "goose claw-shaped" changes, which in forensic medicine called the outer corner of the eye folds, because the deceased who died of fire often reflexively closed his eyes, which is of great significance for judging the cause of death of the deceased.

I have been engaged in the criminal police industry for many years, but I have never seen this kind of death. The murderer chose this very creative way of killing, which also shows that he has an extraordinary hatred for the deceased.

What kind of murderer would have such a hatred for a child trafficker? This makes us think deeply.

"Hey, the clue I just found is now broken again, how can I find so many abducted children before. The murderer only kills himself to vent his anger, and I don't know how important it will be for us to arrest the criminals and trace the whereabouts of the abducted children after this person is caught by the police! Li Meng's brows were tightly locked, very resentful.

Now, there is no way to be resentful.

I carefully investigated the crime scene in this color steel room, where there were blood stains everywhere and women's clothes piled up in the corner. Judging from the color and style of the clothes, it is exactly the outfit of "Sister Yue" that we saw in the bus station surveillance.

The whole color steel room is empty, there is no furnishings, only an old-fashioned wooden chair by the wall, and a long hemp rope on the ground. It looks like someone was once tied to this chair.

"Old Qin." Ren Qiushi stood up and greeted me.

"Did you find anything?" I hurried over to him and asked seriously.

"Only the deceased had severe burns on his predecessor, which were caused by the high temperature generated by the charcoal fire. Charcoal can produce a high temperature of more than 600 degrees, and judging from the degree of burns on the skin of the deceased, the burn time should be about half an hour. Ren Qiushi said in a deep voice.

"What? Only half an hour?! Could it be that the murderer just left?! Li Meng was shocked and immediately let out an exclamation.

Ren Qiushi immediately waved his hand and denied: "There is no stove here, and the charcoal cannot be burned completely, so the murderer put the charcoal into the barbecue grill and lit it, and when the charcoal was just burned, it could not produce high temperatures, so it is not accurate to judge the time when the murderer committed the murder." ”

He then added: "The deceased had severe restraint injuries to his wrists and ankles, and had appeared to have varying degrees of epidermal peeling and bleeding, and the color was brown, which was a pronounced parchment-like deformation. Judging from the ditch, it is a kind of rough and hard hemp rope. ”

It seems that I am right, the chair and hemp rope behind me are really used to bind "Sister Yue".

"The deceased had been bound by the murderer before his death, and there must have been a lot of coercive wounds on his body, but the deceased was charcoal-grilled face down, and his skin and muscles were seriously damaged, and the scars were no longer recognizable." Ren Qiushi was a little helpless.

"Enough of these clues, at least we already know that the deceased was once tied up by the murderer." I smiled and said lightly.

My words are not a comfort to Ren Qiushi, but this clue is indeed of great value to us.

In a conventional homicide case, the murderer will not be so troublesome, at most he will leave some drag and bruise when throwing the body. Bondage like this happens more often in some kidnappings.

This case is obviously not a kidnapping case, the murderer must have obtained some clues from the mouth of the deceased, otherwise the deceased would never have been tied up, and there would have been no coercive wounds on the deceased.

So for a trafficker, what clues does the killer need to get from the trafficker's mouth?

The answer is to investigate clues about lost children.

Thinking of this, the identity of the murderer is already very clear.

He is either a person who specializes in abduction or the parent of a lost child.

If it was the former, he would not have known how important this person was to the police, and he would definitely hand it over to the police, and he would definitely not choose to kill.

If it's the latter, then everything makes sense, he is looking for the whereabouts of the lost child, and he must have gotten the clues he wants, otherwise he would never have killed anyone.

As long as the police are called to find the lost children nationwide, the murderer will definitely be found.
