Chapter 112 Fire
Huajing International, No. 103.
It was already early December, and the dark clouds in the sky were very low.
The sudden drop in temperature caused the jackdaws on the trees to chirp continuously.
Luo Rui and Cai Xiaojing stood in front of the ruins, looking at the buildings that were burned by the fire.
It was like a black beast that collapsed and was left alive.
The fire has been extinguished, the fire fighters have withdrawn, and the police are holding a cordon to prevent people in the community from entering.
This place belongs to Gu Dayong's jurisdiction. After seeing Luo Rui and Cai Xiaojing, he came over with a sad face.
“The police below have already visited the community. The fire started in the early morning, when everyone was sleeping. A resident got up in the middle of the night to coax his children and reported the incident after seeing it.”
< br>Luo Rui: "Early in the morning?"
"That's right, I'm not sure about other things. I received the news that someone died inside, so I immediately rushed over to maintain order. The body had been sent to the autopsy room. It was terribly burned and had a burnt smell. "
Cai Xiaojing looked inside: "Du The captain called and said that the two men were suspected of homicide. They should have been killed before death and then set the scene on fire. "
"Let's go in and take a look."
Luo Ruila. After setting up a cordon to let Cai Xiaojing in, he also lowered his head and got in.
The door was dark and in a mess.
This garden house has a total of four floors including the basement.
As soon as they walked to the front hall, they saw Du Feng coming down from upstairs.
"You are here, how is the investigation of the disappearance case?"
Cai Xiaojing reported this case to him when she went out, so she asked this question.
Luo Rui: "There is nothing new about it yet."
"Then can you let the disappearance case go for a while? You also know that two people just died and the situation is serious..."
"We will follow the arrangement."
Wei Qunshan and Du Feng On the day he took office, such a major murder case occurred. Forces must be mobilized to investigate thoroughly as soon as possible. The disappearance case can only be left behind.
Du Feng looked relaxed. He wore blue latex gloves and pointed to the second floor.
“The first female deceased died in the bedroom on the second floor, stabbed five times.”
"The second male deceased died in the basement. He is a male. The cause of his death is not yet known. Now the two corpses have been sent back for autopsy, and the results will not be clear until later."
"The police were already at the scene. After visiting the community, there is only one person living in this building, his name is Huang Biao. Vagrant."
Luo Rui nodded: "Captain Du, let's take a look at the scene first?"
"No problem, let's go to the second floor first."
Du. As Feng walked, he explained: "The initial judgment is that it was arson."
"It started with a fire in the basement, then the first floor, and then it burned all the way to the second floor. The third floor was not burned much."
Luo Rui sniffed his nose: "Gasoline was used?"
< br>Du Feng glanced at him: "Yes, we found the gasoline barrel on the second floor."
"The murderer was prepared?"
"We don't know about this yet."< br>
There are three rooms on the second floor, the other two are okay, only the master bedroom was burned beyond recognition by the fire.
The signs of arson are obvious.
In the master bedroom, there are traces of people working inside, with yellow number plates placed around it.
Luo Rui and the others walked in cautiously.
He found that the mattress was gone, leaving only an empty bed, with both feet collapsed and stuck on one side.
Du Feng explained: "The person was burned and stuck to the mattress. It was not easy to tear it off, so we had to carry it away together."
Thinking about that scene, Luo Rui couldn't help but shudder. Chills.
……
Compared to the second floor, the situation in the basement is even more tragic.
This place has been burned beyond recognition, but it can be seen that this is a place where sundries and tools are stored.
A tool board hangs on the wall.
There was a metal table in the corner, and several metal buckets were placed under the table, which had been shriveled and twisted by the fire.
There is a sofa in the corner, which has also been burned.
Du Feng said: "The male victim died here."
At this time, Zhao Ming finished his work and stood up: "Although the scene was severely burned , but after preliminary investigation, there is a lot of bleeding here.”
Du Feng asked: "There was a lot of bleeding? We checked the body and there were no obvious wounds on the victim."
"I don't know about that."
Zhao Ming just cares It was not his turn to talk about the work at hand and other things, and he didn't want to talk about it.
……
Haijiang Branch, in the conference room.
After preliminary trace examination and forensic investigation, all clues have been collected.
Wei Qunshan was sitting on the stage, and Du Feng was standing in front of the big screen. This was the first major case for their new appointment, so both of them paid special attention to it.
Photos of two corpses were displayed on the screen. It could be seen that the bodies of the two people were burned horribly and had turned into a ball of charcoal.
Du Feng began to explain the case.
It’s three o’clock in the morning on December 2nd.
Huajing International, a fire broke out in Building 103, and the person who called the police was the resident of No. 102 next door.
After the fire fighters arrived, they immediately launched fire-fighting operations, but because the fire was so powerful, it was difficult to extinguish it in a short time.
After the fire was extinguished, two bodies were found in the building.
A male body was found in the basement. After trace inspection, there was a large amount of blood at the scene. The forensic report stated that there were no obvious wounds on the body of the deceased, but a large piece of meat was missing from the neck of the deceased's body.
Therefore, we determined that the murderer probably bit off the deceased's arteries, which explained the cause of the heavy bleeding.
In addition, the deceased had taken off his pants before his death.
The second female body, aged approximately 20 to 26 years old, was found in a bedroom on the second floor. She had been stabbed five times. The fatal wound was in the chest, which pierced the heart.
......
We speculate that the murderer should have bitten the male deceased's neck in the basement first, causing him to bleed to death. Then the murderer took a knife and went straight to the second room. building, stabbing the second victim to death.
Judging from the wound, the blade was two centimeters wide, and it was suspected to be a fruit knife.
After the murder, the murderer used gasoline stored in the basement, poured it into the basement, and then poured it all the way to the second floor. Finally, he set a fire and burned the entire scene.
The identity of the male deceased has been found. He is the owner of the garden house No. 103. His name is Huang Biao. He lives alone and is unemployed and famous. His father passed away, his mother lived in the country, and he had no brothers or sisters.
The identity of the deceased woman has not yet been found. According to reports from residents in the community, Huang Biao lived alone all year round and he never brought a woman back.
The next step is to analyze the case. Every police officer involved in the criminal case here has a copy of the information.
Clues to the crime scene and the collected evidence are clearly written on it.
Luo Rui looked carefully for a while and suddenly saw something familiar.
It has been burned beyond recognition.
He looked shocked and looked at Zhao Ming.
“Brother Zhao, look at this.”
Zhao Ming was sitting next to him. He took a look and asked, "What's wrong? This was found in the basement. It should be a hat. Not only that, we also collected some burned clothes."
< br>“Clothes?”
Zhao Ming nodded: "Yes, most of the clothes were burned, leaving only ashes."
Luo Rui suddenly stood up from the chair: "Take me to see."
His actions immediately attracted onlookers.
Du Feng looked at him: "What's wrong?"
Luo Rui's pupils shrank: "Perhaps the missing girl has been found!"
......
Not long after , a group of people walked to the trace inspection office, where the collected evidence was placed on the table.
A hat comes in a transparent bag.
Luo Rui pointed at the hat and asked: "Can I check the original color of the hat?"
"Let me give it a try."
As he said that, Zhao Ming took the certificate containing the hat. Take the bag to your workshop.
In addition, there was a backpack packed in a large transparent bag. Because it had been burned by the fire, its true appearance could not be seen.
But what was taken out was put in a small transparent bag and put aside.
There are keys, bank cards, bus cards...
There are not many things, and they cannot be definitely used by women.
It is very simple to know whether these belong to Xue Qiao. Just take the key and open the door of room 1506, and you will know everything.
Not long after, Zhao Ming walked out of the workroom.
"Yellow is a yellow peaked cap."
Hearing this, Luo Rui and Cai Xiaojing looked at each other.
Xue Qiao was wearing such a hat when he left home four days ago.
Cai Xiaojing quickly found Chu Yang and Su Mingyuan. She handed the keys to them and ordered them to go to Luteng Community and try to open Xue Qiao's rental house.
The two nodded, turned and left.
Is that female corpse Xue Qiao?
Now this is the key question.
Luo Rui and Cai Xiaojing hurried to the anatomy room.
Forensic Doctor Zhao is sitting on a chair, drinking tea slowly.
Yesterday’s storm didn’t seem to affect him at all.
Seeing the two of them, he raised his head: "Oh, Captain Cai, Captain Luo!"
When Luo Rui was called, he took a deep look.
There are no secrets in the bureau. Everyone is a policeman. No matter how small the personnel changes are, they cannot escape the eyes of these old gangsters.
Luo Rui saw two charred corpses placed on two dissecting tables. Their lower bodies were covered with white cloth, but their abdominal cavities had been cut open.
"Uncle Zhao, which body is the female body?"
Old Zhao stood up and walked to the second dissecting table.
"This is, she was stabbed once in the abdomen and chest, and then three times in the back."
Luo Rui murmured: "She should have been stabbed suddenly after she fell asleep. She woke up in pain and tried to run away. Then the murderer stabbed her three times in the back. "
"The guess is correct."
Old Zhao had a look of praise in his eyes. , he remembered that the body was brought together with the mattress, and the deceased was lying on the bed at that time.
He couldn't help but think to himself that with the addition of new blood to the Haijiang Branch, the previous malaise might be wiped away.
Luo Rui looked at him: "Uncle Zhao, can you restore her original appearance?"
"You want to be my plastic surgeon? If you want to know what she looks like, it's best to find a portraitist. They Can be drawn based on skull reconstruction technology Come out. But portrait painters are very valuable, and the provincial government may not find such talents."
"Let's do a DNA test."
Luo Rui suddenly remembered that Xue Qiao was on the wall. The blood stains left on it. Whether this body is hers or not will be known soon.
