The director of the Zichuan County Public Security Bureau stood at the door to greet us, shook hands with us one by one very warmly and excitedly, and said a lot of kind words to us at a great cost.

It was nothing more than a few words of thanking us for coming, saying that this case was very serious and that all the police officers of the county public security bureau would fully cooperate with the work of the serious crime team.

Afterwards, the director of the Public Security Bureau personally took us to the office of the Criminal Police Brigade and explained our work to all the officers of the Criminal Police Brigade before leaving.

Zichuan County is not big, it is a county-level city under the direct jurisdiction of the province, and the criminal police team of the Public Security Bureau is a brigade department, and the system is complete, the departments are complete, but the police force is not very large.

In the office, Xiao Ligong carefully explained to us the ins and outs of the matter, and handed us the transcripts of the two informants.

"The deceased in this case was a family of three, namely:

Tao Yunshu, male, 36 years old.

Chen Xuechun, female, 33 years old.

Tao Lei, male, eight years old.

Because Tao Yunshu's father-in-law was about to celebrate his 60th birthday, Tao Yunshu invited Hao Zhiqiang, a master of purple clay pot craftsmanship in the same village, to make a set of purple clay pot tea sets as a birthday gift.

Last night, Hao Zhiqiang finished making the tea set and prepared to send it to Tao Yunshu. At that time, it was getting late, and every house had lights on, only Tao Yunshu's house did not turn on the lights.

Hao Zhiqiang knocked on the door a few times, but did not hear any movement, he looked inside through the window again, and did not see anyone in the house.

He felt that something was wrong at that time, because he hadn't seen Tao Yunshu for a while.

Hao Zhiqiang hurriedly went to Tao Yunshu's neighbor's house and said that something might have happened to Tao Yunshu's house.

After a short exchange between the two, the neighbor also felt that something was wrong, because when his son went to school today, he didn't see Tao Yunshu's son Tao Lei going to school.

The two felt more and more that something was wrong, and hurriedly took a flashlight and came to Tao Yunshu's house again. The two used flashlights to illuminate, and through the glass window, they found Tao Yunshu and Chen Xuechun lying upright on the bed, and the room was full of bloodstains.

The two were frightened at the time, and quickly called the police and notified the town police station. The police from the police station rushed to Tao Yunshu's home and found Tao Yunshu and Chen Xuechun lying in a pool of blood, and in another bedroom, their eight-year-old son Tao Lei had also been killed. ”

After listening to Xiao Ligong's story, we also roughly understood the situation of this case, which was a case of murder and a case of burglary.

"The case of destroying the door, even the eight-year-old child was not spared, what a hatred." Li Meng's long sigh not only reminded me of the Chinese New Year's Eve murder case not long ago.

"Are the autopsy results in?" I made up my mind and asked.

"The time of death of the three of them was between 1 and 3 o'clock yesterday morning, and they were discovered and called to the police by Hao Zhiqiang and his neighbors who came to deliver the purple clay pot tea set at 8 o'clock last night." Xiao Ligong said to us seriously.

"So, twenty-four hours have passed since the time of the crime." Lin Zifan muttered.

Twenty-four hours, this is indeed bad news.

"But we've secured the crime scene and it's not been destroyed." Xiao Ligong saw our worries and hurriedly added.

I nodded and continued to ask, "What was the cause of death of the three deceased?" ”

Xiao Ligong picked up an autopsy report from the table and handed it to me, and at the same time said, "Tao Yunshu's fatal wound was a slash wound on the head, and the murder weapon was a kitchen knife. Chen Xuechun had blunt force trauma to his head, and debris of a brick was found at the site of the trauma, and it was judged that the blunt object should be a brick. But this is not a fatal injury, the real fatal injury is the same as Tao Yunshu's, it is a kitchen knife slash. Eight-year-old Tao Lei was choked by the neck and suffocated to death. ”

"Do you have any clues now?" After reading the autopsy report, I handed the report to Lin Zifan and they circulated it, and continued to ask.

"We received a report last night, and then we conducted an autopsy and an inquest of the scene overnight, and then reported it to the higher public security organs. At present, we have only the clues obtained from the scene investigation and autopsy, and there are some new clues. Xiao Ligong took a deep breath and said with some embarrassment.

I naturally know what he thinks, in other words, if they can directly lock down and arrest the suspect, there is no need for our serious crime team to come.

I looked at the time, it was a quarter past twelve o'clock at noon, and then said to Xiao Ligong seriously: "Take us to the scene of the crime." ”

Xiao Ligong was stunned for a moment, looked at me in a daze, and said slowly: "It's already lunch time, why don't we go back after eating." ”

"Human life is at stake, and there is no hurry to eat." I said lightly.

Xiao Ligong looked at me, then at Lin Zifan and them, so he had to nod and agree to take us to the scene of the crime now.

The scene of the crime was in Liujiabao, a village under the jurisdiction of Zichuan County.

It was not far from the county public security bureau, and Xiao Ligong immediately took the criminal police team and returned to the scene of the crime with us to investigate the scene.

There was a long cordon at the gate of the courtyard of Tao Yunshu's house, and the crime scene was very well protected, and everything remained the same as it was originally.

Picking off the cordon, we really walked into the scene of the crime.

The on-site investigation work of the county public security bureau is not very regular, the placement of physical evidence signs, and the spraying of fixed lines of on-site traces are very particular, and the technical team of our municipal public security bureau is only like this when investigating the scene.

It can be seen that the technical team of the local public security organ is very professional, which reduces a lot of workload for us to investigate the scene.

This is a very ordinary small farm yard, and on the west side of the yard is a simple open barn with some miscellaneous items piled up in it, as well as some firewood.

On the east side is an earthen toilet and an abandoned poultry pen.

Directly in front of it is a tiled house, and after entering the door is a small corridor in an east-west direction, with two bedrooms at each end. Directly in front of us was the kitchen, and in the corner of the kitchen there was also a door, which was a utility room.

The bodies of Tao Yunshu and Chen Xuechun were found on the bed in the East House, and the body of the child Tao Lei was found on the bed in the West House.

Although the technical team has conducted a detailed on-site investigation, we are still preparing to re-investigate the crime scene in our way and obtain the most intuitive clues.

"Team Qin, look here."

We were looking around in the courtyard when Xiao Ligong suddenly stopped me and motioned me to go to the warehouse on the west side of the courtyard to have a look.

I followed him to the position of the barn.

There are a lot of traces of the scene in the warehouse, because here, there are a lot of splattered blood.

The sundries in the warehouse, as well as the firewood, were splashed with blood to varying degrees......
