Chapter 267 Buried Alive

Haijiang District, Xiahewan.

The crime occurred in a forest on the outskirts of the city. There is a river on the left side of the forest.

There were three police cars parked on the muddy road, the beams of their headlights shining on the river.

Due to the stimulation of the light, a group of wild ducks swam deeper into the water plants. The ripples caused by the slippery feet of their feet rippled on the calm river surface.

When Luo Rui arrived, it was already eleven o'clock at night.

As soon as he got out of the car, the police who were maintaining order at the scene came over and led him to the crime scene.

In the woods, some uniformed policemen were standing, some were squatting, and all of them had solemn expressions.

Three searchlights have been set up around it, and there is also a camera on a tripod.

Technical policemen were holding cameras and taking pictures of a pit.

Luo Rui took a closer look and saw that the pit had been dug out. A young man was huddled in the pit, his body covered with brown soil. In addition to being covered with soil, his face was also stained with blood.

He has a childish face, his eyes are closed tightly, and there is the most dirt under the eyelashes and between the mouth and nose, so it is difficult to see what he looks like.

When Du Feng saw Luo Rui standing aside, he stood up and sighed: "You're here."

Luo Rui nodded, staring at the corpse in front of him. "It is indeed Xia Bing, how could this child die here?"

Du Feng shrugged and pointed to a pickup truck outside the woods.

"The two fishermen who called the police were the ones who discovered the body. The record has not been made yet."

Luo Rui glanced there and saw two people standing next to the pickup truck, and two policemen were guarding it. them.

"Okay, leave it to me." Luo Rui responded, then squatted down and looked at Zhao Chunlai, who was doing the autopsy.

"Uncle Zhao, have you found anything?"

Zhao Chunlai glanced at him and did not answer. Instead, he said to his eldest disciple Yi Chunlin: "Lift the head of the deceased. .”

"Okay, Master."

Yi Chunlin walked to the direction of the corpse's head, and then carefully lifted the head up.

Luo Rui clearly saw that there was an obvious wound on the deceased's right temple, and there were a lot of coagulated blood on his neck and behind his ears, and there was a lot of soil stuck to the blood stains.

Luo Rui blinked: "Blunt force trauma? Is this the cause of death?"

"No." Zhao Chunlai shook his head and held the hand with his right hand wearing a blue latex glove. He grabbed the deceased's chin and pinched it open.

The deceased's lips opened, and Zhao Chunlai took out a flashlight and shined it into the deceased's mouth.

"See for yourself."

Luo Rui moved his feet and squeezed towards Zhao Chunlai.

He looked around and saw that there was a large amount of soil stuffed in the mouth and nostrils of the deceased.

Luo Rui was shocked: "They were buried alive!"

Zhao Chunlai nodded: "Yes, this child was buried alive to death! The shape of the wound on his head should be that he was hit with a shovel or something like that. The blood is mixed with soil. The wound should have been caused before being buried alive."

Du Feng stood aside and shook his head Shaking his head: "Who is so cruel, attacking a young man!"

Zhao Chunlai ignored him, but directed his second apprentice to use cotton swabs to remove a little bit of the soil from the mouth and nostrils of the deceased. Dial it out and put it in the evidence bag.

Luo Rui looked at the wrist of the deceased, and then pointed: "Uncle Zhao, the deceased seemed to have been tied up before his death?"

Zhao Chunlai rolled his eyes at him: "You are not a rookie. Why should I tell you such an obvious thing?”

Luo Rui smacked his lips. Zhao Chunlai has always been vicious, especially after returning from Pingyang County. Because he received too high a standard of reception in the local area, when he returned to the Haijiang branch, no one cared about him. This old boy seemed to be very resentful.

Zhao Chunlai's forensic skills and experience are very good. Luo Rui didn't want to offend him, so he said in a flattering tone: "Uncle Zhao, when can the autopsy report be released at the earliest?"
< br>"You won't let me do an autopsy overnight, right?" Zhao Chunlai said in a bad tone: "Just wait, you can come to me the day after tomorrow. "

"It's too late. You don't have to do it yourself." Luo Rui curled his lips and looked at Yi Chunlin: "When you were not in the unit, the tragedy happened last time. Brother Chunlin did it, I think he did a good job."

When Yi Chunlin heard this, he felt bad and hurriedly lowered his head.

Sure enough, Zhao Chunlai snorted: "How about that? The corpses of a family of four are waiting for autopsy. He can't tell which corpse should be dissected first and which corpse should be queued up. This is called being brainless. He only knows how to do things step by step. !”

Luo Rui said aloud: “Isn’t this too serious?”

Zhao Chunlai snorted again and looked at Luo Rui. Rui: "In a case, there are multiple corpses that need to be dissected. The first thing you should do is look at the signs and carefully examine the body surface.

The deceased woman was obviously pregnant. He didn't even notice it, but she still... Putting this corpse at the end of the line for dissection is called good technique?

I heard, or did you see something fishy?”

"I'm also lucky." Luo Rui blinked. The female victim the other party mentioned was Shen Lan who was involved in the massacre.

He originally wanted to praise Yi Chunlin, but he didn't expect Zhao Chunlai to be so disrespectful to him.

Yi Chunlin buried his head lower when he heard the master's criticism.

Luo Rui sighed. He patted his knees and stood up, feeling a little resentful.

Zhao Chunlai rolled her eyes at him: "I'll give you an approximate time of death. We just measured the body's rectal temperature and initially judged that the time of death should be three days ago, that is, December 1st. Between December 2nd, if I want to be more precise, I can only measure the liver temperature after the autopsy. I will try to give you the autopsy report tomorrow afternoon.”

"Okay." Luo Rui nodded and prepared to chat with Zhao Ming, who was collecting evidence nearby.

He turned around and walked a few steps, and heard Zhao Chunlai yelling to Yi Chunlin: "Have you dozed off? Don't you know how to raise the head of the corpse? I tell you, this corpse will be handed over to You dissect. If you don’t do it well, don’t think about me writing you a recommendation letter in the future.”

“I understand, Master,” Yi Chunlin replied in a low voice.

Luo Rui turned around and took a look, and he could clearly see the joy in the other person's eyes.

Although Zhao Chunlai has a vicious mouth, he has a good heart.

In the police system, the matter of mentoring and mentoring has always been passed down.

What you learn in school is just knowledge, practice and experience, which is taught to you by the master.

This is not the case with the Eight Tigers of Criminal Investigation and criminal investigation experts at provincial and above levels.

Luo Rui thought of Zheng Rong. He had not seen this old man for several months. He was Luo Rui's serious master. Luo Rui thought to himself that he had to take the time to visit his old man.

Zhao Ming was squatting in the mud not far away, using a watering can filled with luminol reagent to spray the solution into the mud.

The technician next to him shone the long lamp in his hand, and blue spots suddenly appeared in the mud.

Seeing Luo Rui coming over, he stood up and rubbed his sore knees.

Zhao Ming nodded to him: "We found several footprints and extracted a lot of hair, but we can't give you the results until after forensic verification."

"I just want to ask a question. "

Zhao Ming frowned: "You said?"

Luo Rui pondered: "The name of the deceased was Xia Bing. Also missing with him was his mother You Qiumei. Now that he died here, where is You Qiumei now? This is the question I am most concerned about right now.

She may be dead too, She may still be alive. We urgently need to find her whereabouts."

"Do you have any photos of her?"

Luo Rui didn't ask why, but just took out his phone and asked You Qiumei. The photos were displayed in front of Zhao Ming.

“Okay, I understand.”

Zhao Ming nodded, then walked to the metal survey box and took out a transparent bag from it.

He held the transparent bag in front of the searchlight and waved to Luo Rui.

“This is the hair found at the scene, half yellow and half black. Although no DNA matching has been done yet, this hair is suspected to belong to You Qiumei. You also saw the photo just now, she should have been dyed before Hair that grows out and then grows back The hair is half black.

But this is my guess. Everything must be subject to verification.”

“I understand,” Luo Rui asked, wanting some proof. Said: "What about the footprints?"

"Several female footprints were indeed found at the scene. They were size 36 shoes with corrugated soles. Many male footprints were also found, from two men. Leather shoes of size 41 and sneakers of size 43."
< br>Luo Rui knows a little bit about footprint identification. "The footprint of size 36 is shortened by one centimeter, which is size 35. If the width of the foot is not measured, we will not judge the weight first. It can be estimated that the height is 155cm-163cm, and You Qiumei's height is 158cm.

This footprint should be hers. Could it be that at that time, especially Qiu Mei is at the scene?"

Zhao Ming praised: "That's right, your guess is correct."

Luo Rui was expressionless in response to Zhao Ming's praise. He said worriedly: "Director Zhao, I have a favor to ask of you."

"You said."

"I want to have a systematic map of You Qiumei's footprints at the crime scene, the depth of the footprints, and the direction of the footprints. Even if the footprints are incomplete or incomplete, I will All. Please make a report to me."

Zhao Ming nodded without asking the reason, and continued to work.

The scene may not be ready for a while, probably after early morning.

Luo Rui walked towards the roadside where the car was parked. The policeman was still waiting.

The policemen guarding the scene naturally knew Luo Rui, because Luo Rui was so dazzling in the previous big operations.

His photo is on the internal brochure, and his photo is posted on the bulletin board of every police station.

Seeing him approaching, the two policemen gave way.

Luo Rui showed his ID to the two policemen leaning on the car, and then asked: "Which of you discovered the body first?"

One of the bald middle-aged men raised his hand. "It's...me."

He seemed to be still in shock and did not dare to look into the forest.

Moreover, it is late at night, the temperature has dropped sharply, and anyone will shiver when the night wind blows.

Luo Rui nodded: "Tell me what happened."

"Uh... Lao Li and I made an appointment to come here to fish tonight. We came here at eight o'clock. I've made a nest here before..."

Luo Rui interrupted him: "It's early winter, are you still here to fish?"

"It comes even if it rains or thunders. This is my only hobby."

"Okay, go on."

"At eight-thirty in the evening, I want to go to the toilet. So I went to the woods, but halfway, I suddenly tripped over something. I stood up and took a look. , I thought it was a branch, so I ignored it.

However, when I returned the same way, I saw that the branch where I had just tripped was actually a human hand. < br>
I was frightened and hurried to the river to tell Lao Li..."

Luo Rui was a little surprised: "A person's hand?"

"Yes!" The man looked at his companion: "Old Li still didn't believe it, so I took him to the forest and let him see it. After taking a look, it was indeed a human hand, holding a fist, and the hand was full of soil."

Previously, Luo Rui carefully observed the pit where the corpse was buried. The pit was indeed not deep, about one meter.

A hand stretched out from the soil. It was definitely not an oversight by the murderer, but as Zhao Chunlai speculated, the deceased was buried alive. Before he died, his desire to survive made him want to Climb out of the pit. But in the end, he died, buried alive.

Luo Rui thought, if it hadn't been for his brain damage, would he have had the strength to climb out and possibly survive?

The deceased’s name was Xia Bing.

A child with excellent grades and helpfulness was brutally murdered like this.

Luo Rui breathed out and looked at the two callers: "Besides this, have you seen anyone or suspicious vehicles around here?"

Bald Head The man shook his head: "I didn't see it. Except for the fishing guy, no one else will come."

"Did you come here to fish on December 1st and December 2nd?"

"I didn't. I was at work these two days." After the bald man finished speaking, he looked towards companion.

"Officer, me too."

"Okay, one last question." Luo Rui lowered his head and looked at their feet.

“What size shoes do you wear?”

The bald man glanced at his sneakers, then moved a few steps and said, "A police officer just took a sample of our shoes."

"Okay! That's no problem." Luo Rui nodded.

There were two men's footprints at the crime scene. Luo Rui didn't know if they were theirs, but judging from his height, it didn't look like it. He couldn't be sure. Everything had to wait for Zhao Ming's identification. result.

"Officer, I have made several calls to my family to remind you. We have already said what we need to say. Can you let us go? You see, it is too late now."

"Not yet, you have to go to the police station with me and make a detailed record." Luo Rui comforted: "Don't worry, it's not a big deal. We will arrange a supper for you, and you should be able to leave in the morning. But, don't worry about things here. Don’t even talk about it to your family members.”

The bald man sighed and nodded.

Luo Rui said hello to Du Feng, and then drove the two callers back to the police station.

The detailed transcript needs to be presented on paper and must be signed by the person who called the police.

After all this was done, it was already four o'clock in the morning.

Luo Rui returned to the office tiredly and turned on the light.

The office was empty except for himself, and Luo Rui seemed a little at a loss for a while.

He put the two office chairs together, then lay on them, covered with a blanket, turned off the lights, and fell asleep.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Luo Rui was awakened by a nightmare. In the dream, he saw a hand emerging from the soil. The hand clenched its fist and kept waving it, as if unwilling to die like this.

The white light outside the window shines through the gaps in the curtains and shines on the white board.

In the photo, Xia Bing's smiling face appeared in Luo Rui's field of vision.

For a moment, Luo Rui was in a daze. He rubbed his eyes and then turned over.

Because the criminal team members had received the task yesterday, they would not come to the office, but would go directly to visit and investigate.

Luo Rui yawned, washed up a little in the bathroom, went to the cafeteria to have breakfast, and then drove to Zhongpeng Apartment.

When we arrived at the place, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.

Fang Yonghui is already waiting downstairs.

Seeing Luo Rui parked his car on the side of the road, Fang Yonghui hurriedly came over, helped him open the door, and handed over a piece of information in his hand.

"Luo Da, this is Xia Lijun's information. I made an appointment with him to meet here. He should be here soon."

Luo Rui nodded, and then saw Yang Bo and Tian Guanghan They also arrived, and a survey vehicle came with them.

Zhao Ming got out of the car and blinked.

Luo Rui stepped forward and asked with concern: "You haven't slept all night?"

Zhao Ming shook his head, as if trying to wake himself up. "The case is urgent. After I finish the investigation here, I will go back and catch up on my sleep."

"Thank you!" Luo Rui patted him on the shoulder.

"Is the landlord here?"

Fang Yonghui replied: "Director Zhao, the landlord is on the fourth floor. I just came down from the fourth floor."

"Okay, then let's Go up first." Zhao Ming nodded and led the three technicians upstairs.

Luo Rui looked at Yang Bo and Tian Guanghan: "You guys go up and visit the residents on the fourth floor to find out about You Qiumei's mother and son. But before that, the police from the police station haven't arrived yet. You first ensure the safety of Director Zhao and the others. ."

"Understood!" Tian Guanghan nodded.

Yang Bo was a little confused: "At this time, all the residents should be at work, right?"

"You Qiumei rents a house in the city to accompany her children to study. She has no job and spends all day working. What she is doing and who she is most familiar with, you need to ask clearly.

I asked you to come here during the day just to ask the residents who live in this building and have no regular jobs. They should be able to. Noticed You Qiumei's movements

In addition, there is another thing that Xia Bing found. ”

“Found it? "Fang Yonghui was stunned.

Tian Guanghan was also surprised, especially Yang Bo. Before leaving get off work last night, he asked Luo Rui why the criminal team specifically selected this case to investigate. Luo Rui was I feel that this case is strange and not simple.

Unexpectedly, the person was found the next day.

Luo Rui saw his expression and added: "The person is dead, yes. The details of those who were buried alive are awaiting the identification results of Forensic Doctor Zhao and Director Zhao.

Now, this case has been upgraded to a murder case. Everyone should pay attention and try to catch the murderer as soon as possible. "

Yang Bo nodded: "Okay, Luo Da! "

"Go and get busy. ”

Tian Guanghan and Yang Bo walked into the apartment building.

At this time, Fang Yonghui looked to the roadside and saw a Qianjiang motorcycle parked on the roadside. The middle-aged man riding the bicycle The man was wearing a black coat. He didn't get out of the car, but looked up at the apartment

Fang Yonghui whispered to Luo Rui: "This is You Qiumei's husband, Xia Lijun."

Luo Rui didn't say a word, but walked straight to the motorcycle.

Xia Lijun looked at the two strange men approaching him and instinctively touched his lower back.

Luo Rui noticed his movements and saw something hidden in his clothes.

When he was about to approach the opponent, Luo Rui quickly stopped Fang Yonghui, took out his ID, and said to Xia Lijun: "Are you Xia Lijun?"

The other party did not look at the ID, but stared at Luo Rui closely, with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Who are you?"

Luo Rui shook the ID in his hand: "Look here, don't be nervous, don't stare at me."

"Oh, It turns out to be the police." Xia Lijun muttered, his expression relaxed a little.

Luo Rui took back his certificate and pointed at his lower back instead of stepping forward.

"What are you hiding? Take it out."

A trace of panic flashed in Xia Lijun's eyes, and he shook his head: "No...it's nothing."

"Xia Lijun, we are responsible for investigating you The detective whose wife and children are missing, if you are hostile to us, I have the right to handcuff you."

Fang Yonghui glanced at Luo Rui, and then took out the metal handcuffs from his waist.

Xia Lijun was still on the motorcycle. He spread his hands and pretended to be innocent: "Officer, look, I really have nothing to hide!"

Luo Rui has dealt with countless criminals, so he naturally knows that he is lying.

Luo Rui glared at him fiercely: "I'll give you another chance to take out your things!"

Fang Yonghui walked to the back of the motorcycle and began to take a fighting stance.

"Okay!" Xia Lijun compromised, looking a little downcast.

Luo Rui saw him reach to his lower back and take out a rusty ax from his coat.

Fang Yonghui was startled, and his hand had already touched the handle of the gun.

Luo Rui squinted his eyes and shouted: "Throw the ax on the ground and get out of the car."

"Officer, let me tell you honestly, I am not targeting you. Malice." Xia Lijun defended and threw the ax on the ground.

“Don’t touch the motorcycle key!” Luo Rui saw what he did and immediately scolded him.

"Okay!" Xia Lijun sighed, raised his left foot, and got off the motorcycle on the right side.

Fang Yonghui quickly ran over, grabbed one of his hands, and quickly handcuffed him.

Xia Lijun did not resist and cooperated very honestly.

Seeing that his movements were restricted, Luo Rui took out a pair of latex gloves from his pocket, and then picked up the ax on the ground.

The handle of this ax is only one foot long, and the blade is covered with rust. It must have not been used for a long time.

"Two police officers, please let me go. I really am not targeting you!" Xia Lijun begged.

Luo Rui didn't answer, and Fang Yonghui began to search him according to the procedure.

Not long after, Fang Yonghui took out a half-foot-long fruit knife from his coat pocket.

"What is this?"

Xia Lijun shut up and gritted his teeth, with a look of resentment on his face.

Fang Yonghui handed the fruit knife to Luo Rui.

The fruit knife has a sheath, as if it was just bought, and there is a label on the handle.

Luo Rui looked at Xia Lijun: "Tell me, what are you going to do?"

Xia Lijun's eyes widened, and after exhaling, he replied fiercely: "I want to kill him. Sun Baoming!"

"Sun Baoming?"

Luo Rui rolled his eyes, he had no impression of this name.

Fang Yonghui reminded from the side: "This person is You Qiumei's landlord."

Luo Rui nodded and looked at Xia Lijun: "Why did you want to kill him?"

Xia Lijun's eyes were red, Gritting his teeth, he said: "He fucked my old woman!"
