I never thought that the fingerprints would be clear, because from his performance yesterday, he was a bystander in this case, and he didn't even know Fang Yin very well, so we didn't have the slightest suspicion after we asked him yesterday, you think about how strong he would be if he was a murderer, he could be so calm.

But then again, even if the fingerprints are stated, we can't make a judgment that he is the murderer until the matter is clear.

Almost 20 hours after the incident

We're back in the neighborhood again, but this time we're looking for Chen.

"Chen Ming! Chen! Open the door! ”

There was no movement in the house

"Who are you?"

Suddenly, a woman came up from downstairs.

"Hello, we are from the criminal police team, and we have something to look for Chen Ming."

"He called me this morning and said he was going to quit the lease, and by noon the things should have been moved, and now they should have left. It's really the New Year's Eve so many bad things together, annoying to death, when this person dies badly, if you have to pick the New Year, you still have to die opposite my house, this time I still have to rent out this house, it's really unlucky. ”

The landlord grummaged through a pile of keys and grummaged.

"What ???"

This news is like a basin of cold water poured on our heads for Wang Zhiyi and me, we really didn't suspect this person from beginning to end, and we didn't even think about him on the suspect before we arrived in the community, and now when we hear the news that he moved out, we have to think about him on the suspect. And judging by the current situation, he has a major suspicion.

"Can we go in and have a look?"

The old lady stopped her movements and looked at us.

"Wait for me to find the key, but, what are you looking for him, hasn't he already moved out, no one has to move out of this obscure thing next door, annoying, I don't know how I can rent out this house."

In the room:

All his personal belongings were taken away, and the room was neatly packed, and it was obvious that he had been prepared to leave this time, at least on the night he rested in the police station after the crime, he had already planned to leave the next day. Otherwise, if he had made a decision the next day, he wouldn't have had that much time to tidy up the place.

"Is it possible that the murderer is Chen Ming, because as a neighbor, he has enough time to clean up the scene after killing people, and then after hearing the sound of our police car, he quickly thinks of his own way out: that is, as a witness, he can get rid of the "name" of the suspect, and then completely disrupt our thinking, then we will not be able to find the murderer in a short time, and at the same time he will have enough time to leave the city. ”

I said on the way back to the criminal police team with Wang Zhiyi.

"It's not impossible."

I looked at the bright lights of every house outside the car window, and suddenly felt that a person can live is actually the greatest salvation for himself, as long as he lives those things that seem to be hopeless, he will become hopeful one day, but as long as people leave, everything is impossible, Fang Yin's incident has a really big impact on me, I really wanted to encounter any homicide when I just graduated a few years ago, and then seek justice for others, and be a good policeman praised by everyone, And now, when this case has no eyebrows, I feel that dealing with those trivial things at the police station in the past is the most reassuring for me.

"Team Zhang, Chen Ming is gone." Wang Zhiyi called Zhang Kai as soon as possible.

It was destined to be another sleepless night.

Where did Chen Ming go? Why did he leave? And why did his fingerprints appear in Fang Yin's house?

Ahhh

As soon as Wang Zhiyi and I arrived at the police station, we heard someone in the office "howling" from a distance

"Team Zhang again."

I glanced at Wang Zhiyi suspiciously, "Team Zhang"

"He's always like this, don't look at him so serious every day, it's because you don't know him well, he's just a brain out of place in front of us in private."

"Chen Ming! Can anyone tell me Chen Ming! I just asked me to check the booking history of the ticket! Ahhhh ”

"Team Zhang."

I haven't stepped through the office door yet. Wang Zhiyi shouted first, as if he was afraid that I would see Zhang Kai "go crazy" and damage the image of their criminal police team.

Ahem, ahem

"Team Zhang, slow down, be careful of choking."

Zhang Kai put down the cup full of strong tea in his hand and pretended that nothing had happened just now.

"Xiao Yang, you're back."

"Master, why don't you send people to block people at various intersections?"

Wang Zhiyi asked

"I sent someone earlier, and after you made the call, I contacted the traffic police brigade to assist in the investigation."

"Team Zhang, the system found out that Chen Ming booked a ticket to return to his hometown at twelve o'clock at noon today last night."

"Wang Zhiyi, you go to Wang Ju and ask him to contact the people over there to help us find this Chen Ming as soon as possible!"

"Got it, Team Zhang."

"Xiao Yang, you and I are going to Lao Li to see if there is any progress on Fang Yin's autopsy."

"Good!"

It's really, how can Lao Li get more and more ink in his work recently, an autopsy report can't be released for so long, it's always procrastinating, if I can't close this case and he can't get rid of it, I have to go to him to urge it. Zhang Kai muttered to himself on the way to the forensic examination center with me.

Eleven o'clock in the evening

"Lao Li, can you get this autopsy report out! It's not over you! I can't solve this case! ”

"Out of here! I'll just say you're here to kill me, don't you bother! It's eleven o'clock, the big New Year! Your criminal police team is still over! ”

Well, these two grumpy people, they won't fight later!

"Team Zhang, Team Zhang."

"Xiao Yang, don't talk yet"

。。。。。。。。。

"Don't be a murderer, it's not your criminal police team, what kind of murder are you there?"

Also, I'm not from the Interpol team.

What's wrong with the ones who aren't from the criminal police team! I! Yang Yaozu! Sooner or later, they will be members of the criminal police team! I only dared to complain silently in my heart.

"Now, fresh autopsy report, take it, don't come to me again, I want the New Year!"

"Well, let's go, but one more thing, what year is the nature of your job, you have to love your work." Zhang Kai teased.

"Let's go, let's get the autopsy report!"

The general content of Fang Yin's autopsy report can be summarized as follows:

The deceased's brain was swollen to varying degrees, the blood vessels on the surface of the brain were filled and dilated, there were obvious scars on the neck, and other parts of the deceased's body were scars caused by external forces.

So up to now, the cause of Fang Yin's death can only be judged to be "suicide".

But why is there no such possibility: she was threatened by the murderer before she died, and after calling us, she was discovered by the murderer, and the murderer used other means to make Fang Yin climb on this hanging rope.

Then you can create a crime scene where the deceased is a suicide.

"Team Zhang, someone reported that a person's torso was found."

"Damn, Lao Tzu's ass just sat on the chair, it's a little fucking fast, who's it, throwing corpses at night." Zhang Kai scolded and walked out of the door of the police force.

Half past twelve in the morning

We received a report that we had seen something resembling a human hand in a trash can next to XXXX Road. Team Zhang took his men to the police as soon as possible, and of course me.

That is to say, Zhang Kai really likes to complain about babbling, but he can do things quickly.

XXXX Road, one o'clock in the morning

The scene of the crime

There was only one from their police force, and one person was slumped next to the garbage can, and next to that person there was a puddle of something that might have been what he had just vomited, and when she saw us coming, she staggered to her feet, but sat down because of her unsteady center of gravity.

"That'...... That....... That...... There's a pair of hands in there. ”

She said in a trembling voice, gesturing to the trash can in front of her.

We walked over and saw the knuckles of the human fingers peeking out in the garbage can, and even at night, the "thing" was still particularly dazzling under the light of the street lamp.

Because we had just arrived at the scene, we couldn't make an immediate judgment about this "thing" for the time being, whether it was a human hand or some other animal, and we couldn't jump to conclusions so quickly until it was taken out.

Our people cordoned off the scene, even though there were only people from the criminal police team and I and witnesses.

The fingerprints of these hands have been completely scorched, even some parts of the knuckles have been burned, there is nothing else that can prove the identity of the deceased outside the scene for the first time, we have not found anything suspicious after the initial investigation of the scene, we can only judge that this is after being killed, the part that can verify the identity of the body has been burned, it is obvious that the murderer this time is very smart.

Charred corpse parts

We can't identify ourselves very quickly, or it's difficult, because the fingerprints of the body are destroyed after it is burned, and secondly, the problem we are facing now is that we have only found a part of the body temporarily, and it is a part of the body that has been destroyed.

"This murderer doesn't read detective novels less."

"What do you say?"

Li An, who had just gotten off work, was called to the scene of the crime by Zhang Kai again, these two people deserve to be iron buddies, and Li Ang also came scolding.

"Haven't you read "The Devotion of Suspect X", think about it, how can you Zhang Kai read a book."

。。。。。。。

"The modus operandi of burning fingerprints has been used in the book, but only the fingerprints are burned in the book, and this person is not as ruthless as this, and even the corpses of people are divided."

"So what does this have to do with the deceased in the book you said, it's not the same at all, okay, this is a dismemberment case, you burn a fingerprint."

Zhang Kai said

"You really can't let others say that you are not good, if you don't read a book, you don't read a book, I just said that it is similar and I don't say that it is exactly the same."

"Team Zhang, in front we found the head of the deceased, just 。。。。。。"

"Don't talk halfway, just what."

"It's just that the face of that head is mashed, and you can't tell anything."

Well, it's not much different from the dead in the book.

"Why do you say that?"

Zhang Kai asked again

"The face of the deceased in the book was smashed and his fingerprints were burned."

Wang Zhiyi added

"Look, look, your apprentices have seen it, how come you don't know anything as a master."

At this time, Zhang Kai was afraid that he "hated" his good apprentice Wang Zhiyi.

"Xiao Yang, you and Wang Zhiyi will take her back to the police station first, let her rest for a while, and then ask her how she found this thing." After Zhang Kai said this, he glared at Wang Zhiyi. Also, Xiao Yang, you go to your master's tomorrow to see what he has registered with him recently.

Inside the police station

"You take a sip of hot water first."

"Can you tell me your name first?"

"You can just call me Ouyang."

"How did you find out about that body?"

"I just came out of the bar after drinking with my friends, because I drank too much and there was a trash can I was going to vomit for a while, I didn't see it clearly at first, after all, I was also drunk myself, so I didn't think much about what I saw, I thought it was an animal that was burned, but I looked at the lump after I vomited, and I found that it was not an animal thing, but a human hand, so I called the police."

"You're all drunk, why don't you let a friend give it to you."

"Well, isn't that reckless, I can't let others think I'm drunk."

"Well, do you see anything else?"

"No, can you send me back, I'm a little afraid to walk at night now."

It's past two o'clock in the morning.

After I sent Ouyang home, I returned to the police station, and recently everyone in the police station has basically been in a continuous rotation, and everyone who is far away from home is sleeping in the office. In this way, everyone only sleeps for about three or four hours a day.

What kind of murderer can do such a cruel thing, in order not to be discovered, even the thing of burning the corpse can be done, and how much hatred this murderer and the victim have. to be able to do this kind of thing.

I don't know how many hours the incident occurred (Author's note: Dear readers, I really don't want to count, anyway, it's the third morning. ）

The man sent by Lee Ang said that nothing could be extracted from the corpse's head and hands to identify the deceased.

We had to temporarily lock down the scene and try to find as many suspicious things as possible to make sure nothing was missed.

The place where the hands and head of the corpse were found was in a small alley.

It just so happened that there was a shop not far from the alley, and the surveillance was just facing this place.

We went to this shop to get the surveillance of the last ten days, and the murderer must not have left things here casually, after all, this is not a "small object", so he must have stepped on a good point to throw the body here. So we must be able to find some suspicious people in the surveillance in the past few days.

The surveillance we retrieved began 10 days before we received the report.

There is nothing special about this day.

After watching the 10 days of surveillance, one person caught our attention, he would come to the trash can at the same time every day to throw garbage, and at the same time, he would carefully observe the surroundings, and he would look back at the surveillance every time.

But in the surveillance, we couldn't see his face at all, he was wearing a cap and a mask, and the zipper of his clothes was very high, so another layer of things blocked his face.

We tagged the person.

More than twelve o'clock on the day of the incident, as far as we look at the monitoring in the past few days, there will basically be no one in the alley at this point, but when we want to continue watching, the monitoring screen is abnormal, the picture display is unstable, and the picture returns to normal after twenty minutes, and after half an hour, Ouyang staggered in the picture, and his every move is exactly the same as what she told us.

So twenty minutes must be the time for the suspect to throw the body.

We locked down the person who had been on surveillance the day before.

After watching the surveillance, I went back to the police station.

"Yo, the missing person is back."

As soon as I entered the door of the police station, someone came to me.

"Don't make a fuss!"

I'm back

"Master~ I'm back."

"Something."

I didn't expect to see this old man for a few days, and he didn't miss me at all.

"I'm coming to see you."

"I still have something to do, you don't say it."

"Master, have there been any records of missing persons recently?"

"There is one, who just came to the police station a few days ago to report his disappearance."

Master called up this person's information.

After that, I told him all the things that had happened in the past few days, and the old man used to be a criminal policeman, and I heard a lot of cases from him when I had nothing to do.

"Sometimes things can't be as simple as what he sees on the surface, just like Fang Yin who you have been finding out is a suicide, but I don't think she committed suicide, you must be able to find any evidence to overturn her as suicide, except for the call she received when she called the police station, you think from the perspective of the deceased, if she committed suicide, then the call she made before her death is simply outrageous. Didn't you still find his sister, there are some things that you still need to ask his family, and Chen Ming, the thing to do now is to find him as soon as possible. What the hell did he quit the lease for? ”

This old man is not at all like the person I usually know when he talks about these things, I always wonder why he and Lao Jiang decided to retire from the criminal police team and change their lifestyle, I hope I can "inquire" about this matter in the future.

At present, it is better to solve the case in hand first.

"Yaozu, have you finished your business, let's go back to the police station first."

After receiving a call from Wang Zhiyi, I returned to the police station.

As soon as I arrived at the police station, I saw Chen Ming inside.

Chen! How could he be here!

"How did he get back?" I asked Wang Zhiyi to arrive.

"Let's hear what he has to say." Wang Zhiyi looked at Chen Ming and said.

"You're looking for me?"

"Are you knowingly asking?"

"Why are you looking for me?"

"You don't know why you're looking for you?"

"Because I moved away?"

"It's all come to this, what are you still pretending? Fang Yin's cup on the table at their house has your fingerprints in it, didn't you say that you and Fang Yin are not acquainted? So why don't you explain this fingerprint? ”

"Fingerprints? How can there be my fingerprints on her cup? ”

"You ask us? We also want to ask you! ”

"Oh, I remembered! That day I just bought the dishes to make the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner home, I just went upstairs and saw her slumped at the door, looking very uncomfortable, she saw me come up and said that she was a little hypoglycemic, let me help her open the door, she really couldn't sit up and had no strength, and then I helped her in, I saw that he was really uncomfortable, so I helped her pour a glass of water, so the fingerprints on the cup should be like this. "It's as simple as that, and this person we listed as a suspect was suddenly ruled out of suspicion?

"Why didn't you say it when you were at the police station that day, and why did you buy a ticket to go home the next day immediately after the crime."

"I was really scared that day, I didn't know what I said at the time, I hadn't seen a dead person since I was so old, and I didn't even remember it in that state. It wasn't until someone from my hometown came to my house that I thought about the reason, so I came back to explain the matter. As for why I bought a ticket home overnight, it was also because of the impact of this incident, this is the third year that I have come out to work, and my family has been telling me to go back to develop, but I am always unwilling, I told them that I work in a big city, too busy to go home, in fact, I don't want them to know that I have such a miserable life, I am a college student who has finally been provided by my family, how can I go back with the face to tell them that I am because I can't go on. But that day I saw the woman die. ”

"Her name is Fang Yin." Wang Zhiyi added.

"I suddenly wanted to open after seeing Fang Yin's death, I want to go back and stay with my parents to live a peaceful life, I don't want to be like this now, I still have to marry a wife and live a happy life, in case one day I can't even see them for the last time like Fang Yin, so what is the meaning of all this I am doing now and the life I have finally lived so far. So I bought a ticket home at the police station that day after figuring it out, and called the landlord early the next morning to quit the rent. ”

How credible are Chen Ming's words? Wang Zhiyi and I don't know, but we really don't have extra evidence to suspect him, at the moment we only have fingerprints, and the explanation he gives us now sounds reasonable enough, and he doesn't know Fang Yin's name and doesn't look like it's pretending, in fact, if the murderer is him, what reason does he have to leave only a cup he used at the scene after cleaning up everything at the crime scene, that is not equivalent to throwing himself into the net

So we can only rule out Chen Ming's suspicion first, but we still contact the people at their police station just in case, and temporarily send someone to follow him until the real murderer in this case appears.

So the case is now back to the beginning.

Just as we were about to take a break, another phone call came to the police station, saying that someone had found something that looked like a human torso in the sewer next to the school, and told us to rush over as soon as possible

Actually, everyone in our team was waiting for this call, and even though it was during the time when we were going to rest, it still kept us motivated.

This time we hope that this part of the body has not been destroyed.

We rushed over immediately according to the location provided by the police, because this time the scene was next to the school, and it was the time for school to end, so there were many people, mainly students, in order not to bring a shadow to these "flowers of the motherland", we could only corclose this area under the pretense of other things, and after the students were gone, we began to do an investigation.

If you're going to ask us, why don't we even close the road after school?

Because of this, it was not yet school time when we received the call, but we happened to be in time for the end of school when we arrived, and the suspect had already left the scene for such a long time, so there was no reason for him to stay here and wait for us to show up.

Once the students were almost gone, we locked off the entire venue. A carpet search of the corpse and the surrounding objects began.

Because last time only the head and hands and feet of the deceased were found.

Thankfully, this time we found the rest of the body.

We saw that there was a surveillance at the entrance of the school, but this surveillance is some distance away from the place of the crime, this place is completely a blind spot for that monitoring, why did he choose a place with surveillance for the first time, and at the same time a glance at the monitoring seems to want to tell us something, and this time I picked a blind spot for monitoring. What the hell is he doing now?

Half an hour later, we disposed of the corpse in the garbage can, and when we took him out, it was already stinky, but this does not completely judge that he has been dead for a long time, because the decay of the corpse is not only related to time, the environment in which the corpse is located will also affect the degree of decay, and no one knows what kind of changes will occur to the corpse under the right temperature and humidity, not to mention the change of the corpse in a place like the sewer, which is not sure to anyone. However, the torso of the corpse found now and the head and hands found the day before can just be "assembled" into a complete corpse, but we still have to wait for Ang Lee's report to make a judgment before we can rule out another possibility: there is another person killed, and this torso is another person.

What was found in this sewer was the nakedness of a human being.

The upper part of the human body was found by our people from a garbage can not far from the scene of the crime, and when this part was found, some of the people in the criminal police team vomited.

I don't want to see the picture of the upper part of the torso when I see it for the second time in my life, the upper torso has a certain expansion, and the chest and abdomen are bulging.

In general, proteins, fats, and carbohydrates in the human body will be decomposed by bacteria after death, and in this process, the proteins and other substances decomposed by bacteria will then produce hydrogen sulfide and ammonia-based flavors, which will be emitted from the mouth, nose, and mouth. (Of course, we didn't notice this, after all, his head and body were separated, and his face was mashed, and we were all shocked by that image at the time, so we didn't pay much attention to whether he smelled anything) We can't immediately tell the time of his death from the "things" collected now, but this corpse is not too badly decomposed, and the smell we smelled when we found the body may have been affected by the environment.

When we got back to the police station, we went to Ang Lee's, and we compared the "assembled" body with the missing person's records from my master, but we still couldn't confirm whether he was the missing person - Yu Lixin because his face was destroyed

Now we can only wait for the DNA test report of the corpse, and at the same time, we still have to wait for the report of Ang Lee about the cause of death of this person.

That is to say, there is no conclusion on Fang Yin's matter, and now that such a corpse has been received, will this corpse have anything to do with Fang Yin's matter, as far as it can be seen, the time of the two corpses may not be many days apart.

However, the autopsy is already being done, which is some progress for us.

I was thinking about how much psychological endurance this murderer must have, after killing someone, he could first dissect the body, then burn the part, and throw it in different places, which shows how much this person's heart is twisted and dark.

What I don't understand now is this: if the hands and the smashed head that we found a few days ago were a deliberate disguise made by the suspect to prevent us from discovering the identity of the victim, then what are the other parts of the body we found today? Because this is left intact, only a little decayed, and other parts of the body allow us to know the identity of the deceased through DNA testing.

So what's the point of him doing this, is it just because of hatred? I want the dead to be unable to live in peace after death. What a hatred it has to be.

It's another morning, and I haven't gone to Lao Jiang's steamed bun shop to eat steamed buns at this time in the morning for several days.

"Hey, Lao Jiang Lao Jiang, I'm back again."

I didn't see that my master's old man was there.

"Here, you have to wait, the buns are not cooked yet."

"How's the case going?"

My master asked.

"There hasn't been much progress yet, Chen Ming came back and explained the fingerprint matter clearly, we ruled out his suspicion for the time being, but we still let people squat in front of him, we always felt that this matter was not so simple, we wanted to wait for him to show his flaws. The body found the night before yesterday had only found the rest of the body, and had just been sent to the forensic doctor for examination. So much so far. ”

"Have you visited Fang Yin's social relations, his boyfriend who has a tendency to domestic violence."

"We want to know something from Sister Fang Yin, but she recently refused our inquiry, and she said that she wanted to put Fang Yin into the ground as soon as possible."

After eating the buns, I returned to the criminal police team.

I forgot to mention that we still found a monitor in a place near the school that day, and the angle of this surveillance was a little better than the surveillance at the school gate.

We saw a person dressed in the same way as in the previous surveillance in this surveillance we obtained, and this time we didn't find that the person revealed any identity information, and his outfit was still "tight".

Secondly, it is possible that the parts of these two bodies were thrown away at the same time, but the time when the two were thrown away is different, and we cannot make other judgments from the chronological order in which we found them, but now we are only temporarily treating the arm and body as the same person, and we cannot directly rule out that these are the two victims, and there are some things that no one can say.

Although I have heard many strange cases from Master, I have never heard of anything like this one, and I have only read about similar ones in novels.

The next day, the results from the autopsy report came out.

Through DNA comparison, the deceased is Yu Lixin.

"There were visible bright red corpse spots on the surface of the corpse, and the kidneys, liver, bruising and enlargement after dissection. Then we used the 'Prussian blue method' with better specificity to detect cyano ions in the cardiovascular department, so the preliminary judgment was that Q was poisoned and died, but we only found very little of this substance in the deceased, and it will be undetectable if you don't pay attention, this is because the cyano ions are very volatile, and the hydrogen ions in the corpse will quickly decrease at room temperature, so we infer that the death time of the deceased has been at least two days or more, but here it is only said that at room temperature, so it is not ruled out that the body has been frozen before. ”

"The deceased is Yu Lixin? Xiao Yang went to find the person who reported the missing person case."

"Okay, Team Zhang."

I went back to the police station again, and I called my master in advance.

"Hello, I'm Wang Zhiyi of the criminal police team."

The woman sitting in front of us looked to be about fifty or sixty years old, judging by the oiliness of her hair, she had not rested for a long time, and she looked haggard, giving the impression that she was going to fall down at any moment. This person should be Yu Lixin's mother.

"Hello, I'm Yu Lixin's mother." She said as she sat up from the couch.

"We asked you to come over 。。。。。。"

"Well, I see."

Before I finished my words, Yu's mother continued to say calmly, her appearance is a little unbearable, for a mother, this news is tantamount to a bolt from the blue.

"We would like to ask Yu Li if he had any disputes with others before he was born."

Yu Mu didn't speak, just shook her head.

"In front of us, he never talks about his own affairs, he doesn't go home much when he lives outside, so we can talk to him very little, he can only stay at home for a few days every year during the Chinese New Year, the other day he said he was going out to drink with his friends, until the next afternoon he didn't come back, after that we kept calling him, he didn't answer, although Lixin this child doesn't talk to us, but we call him he will answer, we start to worry about what happened to him, So a day later, we went to the police station to report to the police. ”

"Where is he now?"

"He 。。。。。。"

We don't know how to tell her about Yu Lixin's current appearance, even if she was mentally prepared before she came here, but how to say it, Yu Lixin's body is still "torn apart" now, even if her heart is strong, no one can accept this picture.

"He's in the forensic forensic center of the criminal police team, we can't let you go there for the time being, because you know what he looks like now, you may not be able to accept it, so you still need to wait"

"Hmm."

On the way back to the police force, Wang Zhiyi and I didn't speak, and we didn't know what to say, after all, we were just looking at this matter from the perspective of a third party, and Yu Lixin was just a "victim" to us, and how should his family accept the fact that their children were killed. What's more, Yu Lixin's body is still undergoing an autopsy, and frankly speaking, the corpse is unrecognizable, which is unacceptable to any family member.

"Team Zhang, we found a bunch of clothes and things from the vicinity of the crime, which should be the victim's. The list was found in the victim's pocket. ”

Zhang Kai took the contents of the physical evidence bag, which was the hospital's report.

"Impulsive personality disorder??"

"Wang Zhiyi, you and Xiao Yang went to the hospital where Yu Lixin was treated."

"Got it, we'll go now."
