It rained heavily all day and all night, and it stopped only early this morning.
Ren Qiang and others didn't sleep all night. Two search teams searched meter by meter from the bank of Bailan River where the body was found to the upstream sides.
The body was in a state of active decay when it was found, which means that the victim did not sink into the river immediately after being killed.
Otherwise, the body would not rot at all.
According to the analysis of the situation at the scene, the body was probably washed into the Bailan River by heavy rains and then washed to the shore and was found.
If this is the case, then where is the first place where the body enters the river?
It is certain to be somewhere upstream of the Bailan River, and the distance shouldn’t be too far.
Otherwise, if the corpse had been soaked in the river for a long time, the maggots in the corpse might have been washed away.
On a stormy night, the search progress was very difficult.
The progress is also very slow. If it doesn't rain, there should be some traces near the rotting corpse.
And it should be easier to detect, such as corpse odor.
However, due to the heavy rain, the smell of corpses and the remaining maggots, it is difficult to find traces.
"Brother Hui, it's been a whole night and you haven't found anything. Are you still searching?"
While Lu Chuan was picking up forensic doctor Shen, Zhang Hui was still searching on the left bank of the Bailan River.
After the heavy rain, both sides of the river were muddy and the temperature was relatively low. In addition, without eating all night, everyone was very tired.
What came over the intercom was the search team on the right bank.
Zhang Hui looked ahead. Not long after dawn, the rain had passed but the sky was still not clear.
Dark clouds were pressing overhead and the sky was gloomy.
Looking back, Zhang Hui looked at the time on his phone: "How far have we found out?"
"It's about three kilometers."
The current location of Zhang Hui and others is already three kilometers away from the place where the body was found.
In the distance, almost one kilometer away is the fork of Bailan River. If it is not found somewhere, double the manpower will be needed.
But it is not certain whether anything can be discovered.
In the past three kilometers, two search teams took the shore as the boundary and extended an area of 20 meters, searching one meter at a time.
It can be said that it is carried out in the form of a carpet search. If the body was washed into the river within this range, even if it is washed by heavy rain, it should leave a little trace. Based on the experience of Zhang Hui and others, it is not possible Probably not found.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Hui turned on the intercom: "Search for the fork of the river in front first. If you haven't found it yet...then ask for instructions."
"Roger that!"
The search continues, but everyone I have a goal in mind, Hecha... is less than one kilometer away.
It is daytime now, and the search will probably be completed in two hours.
“Brother Hui! Something has been discovered!”
Less than five minutes after the call, the head of the search team on the right bank shouted directly!
“What was found?”
“Shoes!”
“There were no shoes found on the body!”
Half an hour later, Zhang Hui The bus moved to the opposite side of Bailan River.
In the grass nest, half of the shoe was exposed, and the toe of the shoe was stuck upside down in the water.
"Have you touched it?"
"No, no, I will call you as soon as I find it."
Zhang Hui stepped forward and observed carefully.
The shoes are made of canvas and are made of Jai Alai brand. They are the same brand and color as the left shoe found on the body.
There are brown marks remaining on the inner edge, and it is not yet clear whether they are blood stains. "Pack it up and send it to the site investigation office."
Zhang Hui stood up and pointed around, his eyes full of excitement: "The shoe on the right foot of the corpse was found here, which shows that the corpse is very It may have been washed into the river near here. Let’s search carefully here and be careful not to damage the scene!”
The body’s right shoe was missing, either after the body was washed into the river! , accidentally washed away by water, and then washed ashore here.
However, it was found that the shoes were located about ten meters away from the shore, so the possibility of being washed up was relatively small.
Another possibility is that the body was nearby and was washed into the river by the heavy rain, and the shoes were left behind in the wash.
With a goal in mind, everyone works extra hard.
Ignoring their hungry stomachs after not eating all night, each one searched every inch of the surrounding area with red eyes.
"Brother Hui! Here!"
In less than three minutes, good news came from the edge of the bushes from the shore.
Zhang Hui ran all the way over.
Twelve thirty in the morning, criminal investigation detachment conference room.
"At the first place where the murderer dumped the body, we found the missing pull-back sneaker on the right foot of the body."
Zhang Hui was making a relevant report.
“This is the geographical location map of the first place where the murderer dumped his body.”
In the morning, Zhang Hui and others discovered the first place where the murderer dumped his body on the right bank less than a kilometer away from the fork of Bailan River.
“This is a wild bush, seventeen meters away from the river.”
“This is where the shoes were found, ten meters away from the river.”
"Although the bushes are not high, they are quite dense. I asked the villagers living around and found that no one comes here at all."
The corpses were rotting in the bushes, and the smell of the corpses was already very strong. big.
But because there were no residents nearby and it was almost a kilometer away from the road, no one noticed it.
"But there is a problem. The bushes are located higher than the river embankment. Although there was heavy rain yesterday, the river water did not invade this area."
Qin Yong listened carefully to Zhang Hui Report: "You mean... the body was not washed into the river by the rain?"
"No, we simulated the scene in detail. Unless the water level of Bailan River surged by more than half a meter, otherwise The body will not be washed away at all."
"And Captain Qin, look here, the toes of the missing shoes were stuck in the grass nest, and the feet were facing the river embankment when they were found."
"After we drained the water in the straw nest, we found traces of dragging."
On the projection, it is the straw nest where the shoes were found. Although the soil was soaked by rain, the drag marks were still vaguely discernible. .
"What do you mean?"
"We suspect that the body was thrown into the river deliberately."
Zhang Hui's judgment is terrifying to think about. !
The body rotted in the bushes and was later thrown into the river. There were also sharp knives and weapons where the body was found!
What does the murderer want to do?
It’s so confusing that Qin Yong has never seen it before in his long career as a police officer.
"How about the autopsy?"
Wang Changjiang straightened up slightly: "The autopsy has been completed. Let me tell you the basic situation."
"The deceased was a female, 1.59 meters tall, weighing 50 kilograms, aged between 25 and 30 years old."
"The cause of death was hemorrhagic shock due to cardiac puncture with a sharp instrument."< br>
“Because the body was highly decomposed and was already in a period of active decomposition when it was discovered, the time of death is not accurate enough. Combined with the recent weather conditions in Haizhou City, the preliminary judgment is that it is about a month.”
The forensic analysis of the body found no special results. (End of this chapter)
