Chapter 233 The Double Corpse Case
On that day, the Shahe County Bureau was divided into several groups and began to investigate the double corpse case.
Zhao Ming led the team to the culvert under the Baoshan Tunnel to extract on-site physical evidence. This was a heavy workload and could not be completed for two days.
Han Jinli conducted a preliminary inspection on the two highly corrupt bodies and found that they were both shot to death. In other words, the people involved had guns in their hands.
Qi Lei temporarily led a squadron to protect the safety of Zhao Ming and other investigators. It would be terrible if the murderer was nearby and shot the evidence collectors from a distance.
Moreover, there was a dense jungle surrounding the corpse dumping site, so the other party could easily escape.
Qi Lei and the others got their guns from the gun store and carried them with them in case of any unexpected events.
Zhao Chunlai went to the funeral home and dissected two highly decomposed corpses.
In the autopsy room, Han Jinli was giving instructions to forensic doctor Zhao, with a face full of humbly asking for advice.
Luo Rui is also here, waiting for the autopsy report, because the most intuitive clue is the corpse.
Many times, living people can tell lies, but corpses cannot.
Working until late at night, Zhao Chunlai was still busy, starting from measuring the body's height, foot length, etc., to cutting open the belly, taking out the bullet, drawing blood, and cutting out the stomach pouch, liver, and heart. , make pathological slices.
Luo Rui had attended forensic medicine classes for a few days and heard that when it was completely impossible to identify the source of a corpse, some forensic doctors with higher attainments in anthropology would start with the bones of the corpse.
In other words, dismember the corpse, set it up in a pot to boil, remove the meat, scrape off the fascia, and directly examine the condition of the bones.
The two corpses were highly decomposed and their faces had been gnawed, making it impossible to distinguish their appearance.
Before Zhao Chunlai and the others arrived, Luo Rui compared the missing persons in Shahe County based on their height and clothing, but could not match the relevant persons.
There are two kinds of situations. One is that after the local people disappeared, the family did not call the police and the police did not record it; the other is that the two people came from other places, and it is still unclear which situation it is.
When the clock hit one o'clock in the morning, Zhao Chunlai breathed out and took off his latex gloves. Han Jinli quickly took out a few tissues and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Then Zhao Chunlai turned off the camera on the side and motioned for Luo Rui to come in.
Luo Rui quickly pushed open the glass door and stepped inside.
Two corpses were placed on the metal table. One corpse was relatively skinny, and the other was obese. The yellow fat appeared in sight, which really made people feel physically uncomfortable.
When a person dies, it is like this, as if he has become something completely different. You know that he was originally a human being, but now he has become an indescribable object.
Zhao Chunlai picked up the thermos cup, unscrewed the cap, took a sip, and sat in the chair.
"Two male corpses. Corpse No. 1 was between 30 and 33 years old, 168cm tall. The bullet penetrated from the chest and penetrated his lungs. His knees were slightly injured and his palms were Slight yellow calluses..."
"Corpse No. 2, aged between 46 and 50 years old. He was shot three times, in the back, shoulder and near the heart, all from behind. Hit.
His knees were also damaged, and the shoulder blades on his left and right shoulders were severely worn. His palms had yellow calluses, and his finger joints were thick. This information was clear. The deceased had either been engaged in manual labor earlier, or it was caused by excessive exercise. "
Luo Rui blinked: "Just this little information? "
Zhao Chunlai rolled his eyes at him: "Then how much more do you want? "
"What about the caliber of the bullet? What gun was used to shoot it? ”
Generally speaking, tracing the source of guns in shooting cases is a very important clue.
Zhao Chunlai said: "I'm not very familiar with firearms knowledge. The bullets are the caliber of shotgun bullets. You have to wait for Director Zhao to come back. He can help you test the ballistic trajectory, but you'd better find the first scene."
Luo Ruikan He looked at the corpse and said: "This shouldn't be difficult."
"Oh?" Zhao Chunlai crossed his legs and asked curiously: "Then tell me, how to find it?"
… …
Early the next morning, in the conference room.
The room was dimly lit, and the projector placed on the table emitted a beam of white light, with dust floating around the halo.
The beam of light shines on the curtain, showing photos of the scene where the corpse was dumped.
Luo Rui held Zhao Chunlai's autopsy report in his hand and introduced the case: "The two victims were killed three months ago. Forensic doctor Zhao inferred that it should be between the end of July and August 10th." The exact time could not be more accurate.
Both victims were shot. Corpse No. 1 was shot once, and Corpse No. 2 was shot three times. The bullets came from behind. They were probably shot by the murderer on the way to escape.
They were all stripped of their clothes after death. No identifying information about them was found at the scene, and it is speculated that they were taken away by the murderer
In addition, deceased No. 1..."
Luo Rui blinked and did not continue reading.
Li Nong frowned and said, "What happened to deceased No. 1? "
Luo Rui coughed and said loudly: "The anus of deceased No. 1 was found to be loose, and we speculated that he was a male lover. ”
Zhao Chunlai’s anatomy report was done very carefully, and it also included extremely clear photos of chrysanthemums.
Luo Rui felt that his eyes were dirty, and he didn't know if Zhao Chunlai was deliberately disgusting him.
Li Nong also coughed twice and said: "Oh, this situation is quite special. At least it is useful to trace the identity of the deceased."
Zhao Chun came to look at the people in the conference room. The detectives felt that these boys were too young. There were even more serious autopsy reports than this one, and they had never seen them embarrassed.
Zhao Chunlai crossed his legs, picked up the thermos cup, unscrewed the cap, moved a little gap, put the mouth of the bottle to his mouth, and took a sip.
Seeing this, Zhao Ming, who was sitting next to him, quickly snatched away the thermos cup and smelled the smell inside. The smell of alcohol hit his nose.
Zhao Chunlai glared at him fiercely: "Boy, there is a meeting."
Zhao Ming hated his father for not living up to expectations, and shook his head helplessly: "I won't argue with you now. After the meeting, we will talk in private. "
When Zhao Ming saw Luo Rui waving to him, he stood up, holding in his hand the physical evidence report made overnight.
“After yesterday’s on-site investigation, we extracted the footprints of no less than three people in the mud near the culvert, but none of them matched the footprints of the two deceased people. It can be preliminarily judged that this is indeed the The corpse dumping site.
In addition, I used formulas to make inferences about the footprints of the three people. Their heights, weights, and approximate ages are all in the report.”
With that said, Miao Shouqiang passed the printed report to everyone present.
Luo Rui also got a copy and looked through it carefully.
The footprints have been numbered, and there are detailed data on foot length, foot width and footprint depth, as well as derivation formulas. Only particularly professional technicians can write such precise, rather than vague Vague and without any confidence.
Zhao Ming speculated that the height of footprint No. 1 is about 172cm, weight is 60-65kg, and the age range is relatively wide, between 35 and 45 years old.
The owner of footprint No. 2 is about 164cm tall, weighs 65-70 kilograms, is on the fat side, and is between 50 and 55 years old.
The owner of footprint No. 3 is about 180cm tall, weighs 75-80 kilograms, and is between 20 and 25 years old. He is the youngest of the three murderers.
After Zhao Ming waited for everyone to read it, he said: "Other than that, no physical evidence such as fingerprints and hair was found at the scene. The murderer should have cleaned up the scene."
Li Nong is a police officer. In so many years, I have never seen such a detailed physical evidence report. Zhao Ming has already initially sketched the appearance of the murderer. He is a serious technical master.
He winked at Luo Rui, and the meaning was self-evident. How much would it cost for such a talent to be seconded to the Shahe County Bureau for a few years?
Then, Luo Rui stood up and nodded to Zhao and his son. He flattered him for a while: "Thanks to the help of Forensic Doctor Zhao and Director Zhao, our frontline criminal police have not started the investigation yet. You I have found so many clues from the victim's body and the environment at the scene. Thank you very much
Then I will arrange the next tasks... Let's start investigating from several directions.
Lao Qi, you are familiar with the local area. You take a squadron to check the source of the guns, especially the hunters who are poaching in the nearby mountains. Find these people. ”
“It can be done! "Qi Lei replied loudly.
"Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo, go to the missing department and see if you can match the deceased. If you can't find the deceased, send the deceased's information to surrounding cities and counties. In addition, the bodies of the two deceased people had exercise injuries, and the younger deceased was a gay, so you can check from the gym and you should find clues. "
"Understood! ”
After the meeting, Luo Rui and Zhao Ming rushed to the scene of the body dumping, along with Cai Xiaojing, Chu Yang, Su Mingyuan, Miao Shouqiang and others.
There are small flags planted in the mud around the canal. These small flags go up and end on the slope.
Zhao Ming pointed to the flag and said: "The footprints are continuous, which means that the direction in which the murderer dumped the body should have come down from the mountain."
Luo Rui nodded: "Then the case The discovery site was in the mountains?"< br>
Zhao Ming did not answer, but looked at Cai Xiaojing next to him, and said: "Captain Cai, the physical evidence at the scene has been extracted, and forensic doctor Zhao has also dissected the body. I think we should go back. ?”
"Ah?" Cai Xiaojing was a little confused and blinked: "When we came out, Bureau Wei said that we should not go back in a hurry, and we should communicate and learn more with Shahe County. We have only been here for two days, so we should go back now, no Isn’t that great?”
Luo Rui thought with his buttocks that Zhao Ming was trying to get angry with himself.
Who knows, Zhao Chunlai actually gave him the Maotai she gave him, secretly put it into a thermos cup, and took a sip from time to time.
Luo Rui coughed twice and said, "Director Zhao, it's like this. I really didn't expect that Uncle Zhao was an alcoholic and would dare to drink during meetings. I thought his thermos was filled with Soaking wolfberry in water! He uses such good Maotai to soak wolfberry, which shows that he is still good at it. You know how to take care of yourself, so don't be angry."
Hearing this, Cai Xiaojing understood the whole story and said, "Yes, Director Zhao, Uncle Zhao is also greedy for a while. This way, when this case is solved. , let’s go back, do you think it’s okay?”
Zhao Ming pursed his lips, as if not mentioning the incident just now, and said: "It is still difficult to find the scene. It has been three months since the crime occurred, and it is still in the mountains. It is summer, and the blood stains may be covered. It has been licked by insects and wild beasts in the mountains. If we want to find it, we can only follow the footprints and traces."
Luo Rui immediately flattered him: "Director Zhao is right, we will find it. Find it based on the traces! The murderer killed the deceased and did not choose to bury him on the spot. He probably did not have the tools at his disposal. Moreover, if there were three murderers, it would be conceivable that it would be very difficult to transport the bodies of two adults. It's difficult, the distance between the crime scene and the body dumping site is definitely not very far." Zhao Ming glared at him, then jumped over the ditch and trudged straight to the end of the flag.
Miao Shouqiang followed closely behind, carrying a metal survey box.
Luo Rui exhaled and said to Cai Xiaojing: "Director Zhao's temperament is still so stubborn."
"You, you have to go in the right direction."
Luo Rui frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Cai Xiaojing blinked: "Do you want Dr. Zhao or Dr. Zhao?" Director, you can only choose one of the two. Forensic Doctor Zhao is old and will retire next year. Don’t lose the watermelon to pick up the sesame seeds.”
“Yes, yes! Look at my brain!” Thank you.
He realized now that it was okay to offend Lao Zhao, but he couldn't offend Xiao Zhao anyway. Zhao Ming would be his team's treasure in the future.
Then, a group of people began to follow Zhao Ming. He was like a villager collecting medicine in the mountains, bending down and lowering his head to check the surrounding situation.
The murderer's footprints are already in his mind. He can tell the difference just by looking at the footprints in the mud. Sometimes when he encounters cigarette butts and paper towels left in the grass, he will pick them up with tweezers. Put it in the evidence bag.
Miao Shouqiang helped, and when he saw Zhao Ming being so meticulous, he felt admiration in his heart. As a technician, the last thing to worry about is trouble, and the most expensive thing is time.
People with an impatient temper cannot do it and cannot do it well.
Zhao Ming also taught Miao Shouqiang the knowledge of identifying footprints along the way.
Some things depend on talent. For example, Mr. Ma Yulin, an expert in tracking, has never been to school. He has been herding sheep for landlords since he was a child. However, such a person just relies on his extraordinary talent and observes footprints. That's super high tracking ability.
At this time, Zhao Ming was squatting on the edge of the mountain forest, looking at the footprints in front of him, and said: "This should be the footprints of a child..."
Luo Rui said leisurely on the side: " Children's steps are short, their footprints are thin, and the distance between their footprints is often not long.
Young people tend to have large footprints and long steps, and the distance between their footprints is even.
Middle-aged people often walk in a straight line. Slow, the distance between footprints is short
Older people's strides become shorter and the heel pressure in the footprint is heavier than the ball of the foot.
If you see chaotic steps and uneven distance between footprints, it means that the criminal may be exhausted or carrying heavy objects. "
Luo Rui took a few steps forward and said, "Look here, the heel of the footprints here is very deep and the forefoot is shallow, which is very consistent with the murderer's footprints! "
Hearing this, Zhao Ming looked at Luo Rui with some surprise. Miao Shouqiang sighed at the side: "Luo Da, you are really good!" "
Luo Rui pouted: "Director Zhao, let's hurry up. We have to teach students, and there is plenty of time later. If you are so slow, it will be almost dark. ”
Zhao Ming nodded and followed Luo Rui into the dense forest.
The deeper you go in, the more troublesome it becomes to find footprints. Moreover, three months have passed, and even if there are traces of being trampled on the plants, they have resumed growth.
Unless the murderer carried the body and left obvious marks on the road, such as cigarette butts, mineral water bottles, etc.
Until it was getting dark, Luo Rui and his party finally found the suspected murder scene in a dense forest.
Decedent No. 2 was shot three times, and there must have been blood splattered around him.
Although no blood was seen here, there were many ants and insects nearby, and there were messy footprints on the ground. One of the footprints happened to match deceased No. 2, a slightly older middle-aged man.
Zhao Ming and Miao Shouqiang squatted down to take footprints. Luo Rui said to the police officers who followed: "Look for the bullet casings. Although the two deceased were shot four times in total, it is impossible for the murderer to only fire four times." Gun, see if there are any bullets embedded in the trunk."
The group of people agreed, and then dispersed.
This place is one kilometer away from the culvert. There are only three murderers. If they want to transport two corpses, they will definitely not be able to complete it in one trip.
Zhao Ming also found the footprints leading back and forth, which proved this.
In addition, Li Mei killed Tai Hui, and his body was first discarded in the culvert, but it was a little deeper than the two corpses.
Did the murderer have discovered the body hidden in the culvert earlier, so he decided to abandon the body here as well.
Now that the scene has been found, based on the ballistics and bullet casings, the circumstances of the crime can be restored.
However, this matter requires Zhao Ming to spend a lot of time.
Seeing that everyone was busy, Luo Rui took a few people and continued to follow the murderer's footprints, hoping to find the foothold of this group of people in the mountains. If it was poaching, there would definitely be traces of life nearby. .
But before leaving, Luo Rui warned Chu Yang and Su Mingyuan to pay attention to their surroundings, in case the murderer was hiding nearby and shooting illegally, it would be the end.
Just look at Zhao Ming's current appearance and you will know how easy it is to kill him.
Zhao Ming squatted on the ground, concentrating on extracting physical evidence. If someone hit him on the back of the head from behind, he would either be seriously injured or die.
Chu Yang and Su Mingyuan were seconded and were not issued guns, so Lao Bao and Xiao Wu were left behind.
After that, Luo Rui and Cai Xiaojing walked towards the mountains where the plants were denser.
This is to the east of the Baoshan Tunnel, with the railroad tracks on the upper left. If you continue walking one kilometer further, you will be outside the boundaries of Shahe County.
It is not easy to find the murderer's footprints, but it is not impossible to find them. The weeds in some places are obviously traces of human trampling.
Cai Xiaojing followed Luo Rui and said, "It's not easy to be a criminal police officer here. If you commit a crime, you go into the mountains. It's really difficult to arrest people."
Luo Rui groped forward and said: "There is no way, just like some criminals like to escape to the far south."
"By the way, I heard that the last time you caught the K301 train robber, there were still people in the mountains. On fire? ”
"Yeah, luckily we put them out in time. We fed the mosquitoes all night." Luo Rui thought of this and was still frightened.
Cai Xiaojing has been here for two days, and it was only then that she was alone with Luo Rui.
Luo Rui looked at her and asked: "Is your job in Haijiang Branch easy?"
Cai Xiaojing smiled and said: "Guangxing City just updated a batch of surveillance cameras last year Equipment and a picture reconnaissance team have also been established. Who dares to do so now? If someone commits a crime on the street, he will be caught immediately.”
Luo Rui cursed in his heart that if smartphones develop in a few years, the police will have more directions to look for clues, not to mention other things. , as soon as the social software is opened, it is the direction of investigation.
In the next few years, at 6:30 in the afternoon, you pass by the Gong*Security Bureau and see that the people inside have already got off work. Sometimes the building is empty by 5:30. Either the work is too easy, or it is oversubscribed. The mission is completed, or...
Where is it like these years, late at night, the office of the criminal investigation team is still brightly lit.
Luo Rui kept his eyes fixed forward and said casually: "Since the work is easy, you should also think about your own affairs. You are not young anymore."
Hearing this, Cai Xiaojing Her body froze and her face instantly turned red. She glanced at Luo Rui and found that he was just talking casually and didn't take it seriously, so she remained silent.
The woods are getting denser and denser, and the sky is getting darker and darker.
After a while, Luo Rui finally found traces of the hunter's life in a relatively open woodland.
Because the mountains were closed for forestation in the early years, the hunter's shacks had long been abandoned. However, in the forest, Luo Rui found traces of tents previously built.
Mineral water bottles, paper cups and ashes from flames can be seen everywhere on the ground.
Luo Rui stepped forward and looked around carefully. The plastic water bottles and plastic paper cups were all yellowed, and there was also a thin layer of ashes. It seemed that no one had been here for a long time.
Cai Xiaojing also looked around carefully and said: "It doesn't look like the place where the murderer has been. These mineral water bottles have been left here for at least more than a year, and the fire has been lit for more than three months. ”
Luo Rui nodded: "Maybe it's the traces of life left by the previous hunters. It's better to let Director Zhao investigate, just in case we find some useful clues."
After looking carefully for a long time, there was no result. , Luo Rui said: "Go back, but let's go up there and see if we can find some clues."
"Okay." Cai Xiaojing was fine.
But the higher she climbed, the steeper the slope became. She had to use the branches in front of her to climb.
Seeing that she was struggling to walk, Luo Rui stretched out his hand and said, "Take my hand."
Cai Xiaojing's heart skipped a beat and she shook her head: "I can do it."
"Then you should be careful. When we are tired, we will take a rest."
"Okay!"
< br>She followed Luo Rui closely, paying attention to her steps, and looking at the tall back in front of her from time to time.
In the past year, she has seen Luo Rui only a handful of times. From his youthful and bohemian appearance to his current mature and steady appearance, Cai Xiaojing felt very confused.
Luo Rui applied for the police academy, was it his own suggestion? How long had it been? The other party has become a veritable deputy captain of the criminal police. With this ability, no one else can be found in Haidong Province.
But Cai Xiaojing always had a trace of regret in her heart...
When she was thinking wildly, suddenly, Luo Rui pulled her aside with one hand and pushed her body down: "Shh, don't make a sound!"
She was startled and followed Luo Rui's Looking up, I found a group of people standing on the top of the slope not far away...
My body was too overdrawn, and my whole body was weak. After a sleep, I got up to code and completed the remaining words. Fortunately, I wrote some during my lunch break, otherwise I might have to ask for leave today. It would be too uncomfortable to sleep.
