Chapter 337 The murder weapon and criminal motive


Shen Yan had learned this before and had also seen videos and photos.

The reason is very simple, because when people are burned to death, they will inhale a large amount of smoke.

There will be a large amount of carbon monoxide in these smokes, which will enter the human body and cause a phenomenon similar to carbon monoxide poisoning.

The skin appears bright red, and the internal organs, especially the lungs, appear bright red, and there is a lot of fluid inside.

The situation of killing and burning the corpse should be simple, and the corpse will not undergo any special changes.

The color of the internal organs is normal, and there is no carbon-oxygen binding reaction in the blood.

While the autopsy is ongoing, the on-site investigation is also proceeding in an orderly manner.

"Here, Xiao Lu, take a photo."

Under the wardrobe that was turned over, it was not completely burned, and there were still a lot of scattered clothes.

Lu Chuan stepped forward, took several photos from different angles, and marked them: "The glass on the front of the wardrobe is broken, but the clothes..."

The clothes were scattered over a wide area, and there were burnt residues and black substances mixed with fire spray.

However, it can be seen that the clothes in the wardrobe did not fall out because the wardrobe fell to the ground and the glass broke.

"You mean... someone went through the closet, right?"

Lu Chuan nodded: "It should be that the closet fell to the ground, and the clothes scattered beyond the scope of the broken glass, no It should be."

Liu Guodong came over and took a look: "Not only that, the murderer probably knocked down the wardrobe on purpose."

"When the fire burns at high temperature, even if the glass of the wardrobe does not melt, there will be a lot of soot and carbon dust attached to it."

Liu Guodong picked up a piece of glass fragments and gently molded it: "There are only stains on the ground. The stain disappeared as soon as it was wiped. It was obvious that the wardrobe had collapsed before the fire.”

Although there was not much information at the scene, there were still many details discovered.

You probably don’t need to think about fingerprints and footprints. With such a large fire, and the damage caused by fire extinguishing water, even if the murderer left any clues, they are probably gone.

“I just looked at the desk next to the bed, and there are signs of it being turned over.”

Liu Guodong pointed to the door. There was a desk made of iron. The contents on it had long been burned away, but the drawer was open and there were still some residues inside.

"There is a small safe in that desk, which has been pried open, and the contents are gone."

Lu Chuan walked over, knelt down and saw the safe that had been pried open.

The box is not big and the grade is not very high. The door is just a slightly thicker iron sheet and is now somewhat deformed.

In addition, Lu Chuan and others also found a burnt sharp knife with a melted handle at the scene. There was a tire mark under the wardrobe in a place that was not eroded by the fire.

Others, basically nothing.

Two groups, Ren Qiang and Sun Jun, have started visiting and investigating the entire area.

In particular, we focused on understanding the neighbors to the left and right of the room where the fire occurred.

"Yesterday... I didn't hear anything. I was tying steel bars on the construction site. I was so tired that I fell asleep when I came back."

"Three o'clock, the dog in the yard I called twice, but there was no movement after a while, so I didn’t get up to look.”

"It's past three o'clock? I just came back. I drank too much. I didn't see anyone suspicious."

"These two people work in a cotton factory. I don't seem to have heard of any enemies, but... that The little daughter-in-law is quite beautiful, and many people always talk to her..."

Basically, there is not much information about the surrounding situation.

According to the information currently available, the young couple living in the house are from rural Haizhou, and their family has been contacted through the information registered at the cotton factory.

My family is on their way here and will not arrive until this afternoon.

Outside the ruins, Sun Jun, Ren Qiang and Liu Guodong stood around Qin Yong. "Let's talk about the situation first, Ren Qiang, and ask Zhang Hui to clear out the people around him."

Ren Qiang nodded and waved to Zhang Hui in the distance.

Actually, this kind of cleaning is of little use.

When the case occurred, the photos that should have been taken had already been taken.

Now, reports on the Changhe Street fire have long appeared on the Internet.

Fires are different from homicides. The media is still very enthusiastic about such things and dares to report them.

Especially when it comes to information such as whether anyone was injured.

Fire, considered a public safety incident, is different from murder.

Of course, the reported information is also very conservative. The fire department has already responded to the cause of the fire and is waiting for investigation.

No one was killed, initially two people were killed.

The rest are some videos from that time.

The fire was raging in the sky and the fire sirens were blasting. However, because it was night, the video footage was not particularly realistic.

"Guodong, what are the findings here during the current investigation?"

"First, we found stab wounds on both corpses. Combined with the preliminary judgment of the forensic doctor, they were murdered. After stabbing, the murderer set fire to the body."

"However, one of them was not dead when he set the fire."

"For the specific situation, we have to wait for the forensic autopsy report."

"Second, there were wardrobes and desks at the scene. When there were signs of turning, the safe inside the desk was pried open."

"We also found a sharp knife with a burned plastic handle on the ground, but it was not a murder weapon. We have to go back and check it. It can only be determined by comparing the wound marks.”

“Breaking in and killing?”

"There is a possibility, and it is relatively high."

"Sun Jun, how are you doing here?"

"The people renting the house are a couple. The man's name is Zhao Ming. The woman’s name is Zheng Caixia, and she is a worker in a nearby cotton factory. Her hometown is in Ma Baoyu Village, Zhang County. "But whether the bodies are those of these two people still needs to be compared with the DNA of the family members."

“Both parents are on their way now and will arrive in the afternoon.”

"However, the identities should be close to each other. The cotton factory has been contacted. The two of them did not go to work today and the phone calls cannot be reached."

The identity of the deceased has been confirmed and it should be similar.

However, because one of the two corpses had a completely burned face, and the other only had half of its face left, there was really no way to identify it.

In the past, when DNA information identification technology was not very popular, incidents of Li Daitao's stiffness often occurred.

I thought the person who died at the scene of the crime was the resident, but in fact there was someone else, and the resident of the house who was supposed to be dead was the murderer. Taozhi Yaoyao was not discovered until twenty years later.

Therefore, the most important thing now is to determine the identity of the deceased.

"How is the situation here at Ren Qiang?"

"The deceased just moved here last year and is not particularly familiar with the neighbors. There are only a few who work together in the cotton factory. People sometimes ride electric scooters to work together. "

"As for the surrounding residents, when the fire broke out yesterday, they didn't hear any special noises. Only the family's pet dog said it was barking. A few times.”

The information is indeed very limited. (End of chapter)
