Chapter 10: Shredded Puzzles

We investigated the scene a second time, and sure enough, we found new clues, in the toilet tank of the bathroom, we found the clothes hidden by the murderer here.

However, the murderer did not take away the blood-stained clothes, but hid them at the scene of the crime, which is somewhat contrary to common sense.

At this moment, the Laboratory Department of the Chenglin County Public Security Bureau called us and brought us a very important news.

In the blood samples brought back from the scene, a total of three people's bloodstains were detected, and the bloodstains of two of them had been compared with those of the deceased, and it was determined that they were two deceased.

Then the bloodstain of this third person is very likely to be the suspect's! The laboratory department has extracted blood DNA for comparison, and if the suspect has a criminal record, then the suspect's identity can be revealed through DNA comparison. However, it takes a lot of time to verify the DNA profile and compare it with previous cases.

Now that the murderer is fleeing with a gun, it is urgent to solve the case.

We were thrilled and motivated to find the killer's hidden clothes at the scene of the crime, and there were clues that we hadn't found during our first investigation.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Tingbai found another important clue.

This time, the clue was found in the trash can under the bathroom sink, and there was something faintly white paste inside, which seemed to be some scraps of paper.

Jiang Tingbai gently pinched out a piece with tweezers, which was a piece of shredded paper the size of a thumb nail, with very uneven edges and raw edges, which looked like artificially torn paper.

This piece on the tweezers, with blurry text on it, seems to have numbers, and it is impossible to see what it is. But what is certain is that the material of this paper is very good, and it is a notebook in letter format, which should have been torn from a notebook.

In any case, it is very likely that this is the murderer who left behind.

Jiang Tingbai immediately took out the trash can, which contained one-third of the buckets of clean water, judging from the location of the trash can, the water in it was likely to be the water that the murderer splashed in when he took a shower here.

There were also a large number of white pieces of paper in the water, all of which sank to the bottom of the trash can. Jiang Tingbai poured out the water inside, carefully took out the shredded paper that was stuck into a lump of moisture inside with tweezers, and gently put it into the evidence bag.

The pieces of paper had been blistered and softened, and the handwriting on them had been blurred, and only words and numbers could be faintly seen on them, as well as a few symbols. If these shredded papers are really left here by the murderer, then after cracking the text on the shredded paper, the content on it may be of great help to our police to solve the case.

Time was pressed and there was no time to delay, Jiang Tingbai immediately returned to the Chenglin County Public Security Bureau with these shredded papers, trying to restore the words on them through technical means.

Shredded paper can be dried with professional instruments, but if you want to know the complete content of shredded paper, you need to splice it by manpower, and it is a big project to splice together more than 100 pieces of shredded paper with illegible handwriting, and it is also an extremely time-consuming project.

But for now, the content of this shredded paper is our only clue other than the vague surveillance footage.

After Jiang Tingbai left, we continued to investigate the scene, but we no longer found any clues of great significance to this case.

After the murderer in this case opened a room in the small hotel, he waited in the hall for a while, and after Xie Tianjun walked into the small hotel, the two entered room 414 together.

So this piece of paper is very likely to be the murderer's, he tore it up and threw it in the bathroom, and then deliberately poured water or splashed water in the bath to soak the shredded paper.

This is even more strange, if the above content is important, the murderer can completely tear up the paper and throw it in the toilet bowl and flush it, or burn it with a lighter, or even take it out of the inn.

If it wasn't important, why would he tear it so hard and throw it in the trash?

It's as strange as the blood-stained clothes hidden in the toilet tank, and even a little against normal human thinking.

Did the killer deliberately leave the clues? Or is it to deliberately make it more difficult for the police to handle the case, or to focus the police's attention on some worthless clues.

It's weird......

It's all so weird......

"What do you want?" Li Meng suddenly patted me on the shoulder and asked me curiously.

"I wonder why the killer left bloodstained clothes and shredded paper at the scene, he had a better way of dealing with it. Why be self-defeating and leave such an important clue for the police? I said lightly.

"Alas, the murderer is psychopathic, and it's not the first time we've met a murderer like this psychologically abnormal." Li Meng said disapprehantly.

I nodded and sighed: "Maybe that's the case, I hope Jiang Tingbai can find something on those shredded papers." ”

We conducted a carpet survey at the scene, and we did not let go of every corner, and after the investigation was fruitless, we had to return to the Chenglin County Public Security Bureau.

This time, the murderer obviously left a lot of clues, but we have no way to find out the identity of the deceased.

About half an hour later, Jiang Tingbai ran from the Trace Examination Department to the office of the criminal squad.

"Old Qin, we found a large piece of paper that was not torn in the shredded paper." Jiang Tingbai finished speaking very excitedly and handed me the phone.

Above is a photo of him taken on shredded paper, I took my phone to check it, there are words and numbers on it, it seems to be a person's name, and that person's contact information.

[Old generation: 138XXXXXXXX.] 】

"What about the other shredded paper? Is the above message deciphered? Lin Zifan hurriedly asked.

Jiang Tingbai shook his head and explained: "The technicians are trying their best to crack it, it's like more than a hundred puzzles, and it takes a lot of time to put this puzzle together. ”

"Old?" Li Meng also took the phone and checked it carefully, she muttered: "This seems to be a pronoun, just like an old dog calling you Lao Qin, this person should be surnamed Dai." ”

On the surface, Li Meng seems to have said a nonsense, but this is also the most correct way of analysis, the police can't handle the case through intuition, even if the intuition is correct, it must be supported by conventional reasoning.

"That's right, coincidentally, the No. 1 deceased in this case is Dai Xiaowu, and his surname is Dai." Xue Hang said lightly.

"Immediately investigate the identity information of this phone number and check the information of the head of the household." I commanded it at once.

This name and phone number were found on the paper discarded by the murderer, and this person also has the surname Dai, could it be related to Dai Xiaowu......
