Chapter 2: The Corpse Bites
I assumed that the angler had found the body, but fearing responsibility, discarded the rod and ran away.
But after the forensic doctor Ren Qiushi heard my speculation, he immediately denied my speculation.
"Absolutely impossible." Ren Qiushi said in a deep voice.
After hearing his words, I immediately walked to him and handed over the work of investigating and questioning the informant to Li Meng.
"What did you find?" I walked up to Ren Qiushi and asked directly.
In front of us was a male corpse wearing a white shirt on the top, black trousers on the bottom, and black socks on his feet.
Ren Qiushi seriously pointed to the deceased's lips, and a metal fishhook penetrated the deceased's upper lip, which is the position of the human center.
"When fish eat bait, they suck the hook directly into their mouths, so they bite the hook. But will the corpse bite? How likely is it that the person who came to fish happened to hook the lips of the deceased with a hook and accurately penetrated the upper lip of the deceased? Ren Qiushi asked in a deep voice.
I was speechless when he said this, judging from the situation of the corpse, the possibility that the angler's hook happened to hook the corpse's lips is close to zero, and even if it did, it would not be possible to hook the lips of a human being.
So, piercing the lips with a fishhook was done deliberately by the murderer, but what was his purpose in doing so?
The killer first pierced the deceased's upper lip with a fishhook and then threw the body into the artificial lake.
The most important point is that the killer also deliberately left the fishing rod on the shore, which will cause the body to be found in a very short time, which will indirectly expose the murderer.
After the murderer killed, he chose to throw the body and left clues, what is the purpose of this......
"The corpse was soaked in water for a short time, not more than twelve hours, the skin of the corpse was soaked in water and some edema, there were no obvious signs of giants, the corpse was stiff, and there were only a few corpse spots on the body. The deceased's face was slightly bluish-purple, with white foam on the mouth and nose, and a high viscosity, which is a typical mushroom-like foam, which is a life reaction, and the deceased was drowned. Ren Qiushi analyzed carefully.
"So the dead were hooked alive?" I asked, shocked.
"Judging from the trauma on the deceased's mouth, the life reaction is obvious, and it is indeed like this." Zeng Lan nodded and explained for me.
After hearing what they said, my body shivered uncontrollably.
I thought to myself, how painful it is to be hung up on a fishhook alive?!
But then, Ren Qiushi made a new discovery: "There was no sediment and other impurities in the water in the mouth and nose of the deceased, indicating that after drowning, although he changed his breathing, he did not struggle particularly violently, nor did he open his mouth wide to call for help or breathe." This suggests that the deceased should have been in a state of deep coma before being sunk into the lake. ”
"Deep coma is hung on a fishhook, that also hurts......" I muttered quietly, subconsciously touching my lips.
"The deceased must have been severely beaten before he died." Ren Qiushi pointed to the face of the deceased and suddenly said.
Although the body was soaked in water and the skin was already white, it was still obvious that the corners of the deceased's mouth, cheekbones, and the base of the ears were traumatized to varying degrees, and there was extensive subcutaneous hemorrhage.
"There were no restraint injuries on the deceased's body, no resistance injuries on his hands, and no redness and swelling on his phalanges, indicating that the deceased had been unilaterally beaten by the murderer before his death, and that the deceased did not take any resistance without being restricted in his mobility." Ren Qiushi said slowly.
Judging from the figure of the deceased, his height was at least 1.75 meters, and his body was relatively strong, and his muscle lines were relatively perfect. Coupled with his white-collar outfit, he must be a successful person and is likely to hold an executive position in the company.
"To be able to beat such a strong person to the point that he has no power to fight back, the murderer's physical fitness must be very good. Unless ......"
Before I finished speaking, Ren Qiushi immediately took over and continued: "Unless the deceased had no ability to resist at all, such as the deceased was in the state of illness, drunkenness, poisoning, etc. ”
These speculations can be found out as long as the blood samples of the deceased are sent for testing.
These things will be left to the forensic doctor to do, and there are many things that we criminal police have to do.
"First of all, the identity of the deceased needs to be confirmed as soon as possible, the murderer came to this artificial lake with a body and fishing tools to throw the body, he must have a tool to throw the body, and he needs to carefully investigate the rut marks on the road to look for suspicious rut marks."
This matter was handed over to Jiang Tingbai, who was helping the technical team to carry out trace inspection.
I looked at the deceased's dress, pondered for a while, and added: "Investigate all the hotels in Ningzhou City, especially the high-end hotels, to see if there are any records of the deceased's occupancy." ”
Regarding my decision to investigate the hotel in Ningzhou City, Li Meng, who was next to me, said that he was a little puzzled.
I then explained to her: "Although the deceased had been beaten before his death, he was still dressed relatively neatly. Why didn't such a person wear shoes?! ”
After listening to my explanation, Li Meng suddenly said: "This shows that the deceased was in an indoor environment that did not require shoes!" And the place where he was beaten is likely to be indoors! The murderer was in such a hurry that he forgot to take the deceased's shoes with him! ”
I nodded and continued, "And indoor places where you don't need to wear shoes are most likely places to live. In addition to the deceased's home, it must be a hotel, judging from the deceased's taste, he would never stay in a different hotel or even a small inn, so it is necessary to start the investigation from a high-end hotel. ”
"So as long as you can find out who was in the same hotel or even a room with the deceased at the time, you can find the murderer!"
I looked at her with satisfaction, this girl is now more and more like a battle-hardened detective.
The technical team collected footprints at the scene, and also collected fingerprints on the fishing rod, as for whether it was the murderer's footprints and fingerprints, it is unknown.
Now that a murder has occurred, everyone is going to be busy again and devote themselves to a new round of case detection.
The trace examination department, the autopsy of the forensic department, the laboratory laboratory department, and the technical investigation department are all working intensively.
While waiting for the examination reports from various departments, the Serious Crime Unit is working hard to investigate the identity and social relations of the deceased.
The murderer hooked the upper lip of the deceased with a fishhook, there must be some special meaning, judging from my years of experience in solving homicide cases. The act of hooking the lips with a fishhook must represent a sense of punishment......
