Another main reason why Zhang Datao and others did not go to the scene near the dumped body to conduct another investigation was that it was a bit miserable.
The old man who herds cattle is still stumbling when he speaks. He has lived for decades and has never seen such a big thing.
Because the body in the grass had been dismembered and there were signs of burning.
If they hadn’t been randomly placed in a pile, and the hands and feet were more obvious, the old man wouldn’t have been able to tell at a glance that they were corpses.
Of course, usually when you pass by a dam, you may not necessarily see a corpse in the grass. The grass below is very high, and the corpse is hidden in it. If the old man is not herding cattle here, he will follow the cattle to eat. If you move away, you probably won't be able to see it.
Wang Zhaokai arrived one step ahead of Lu Chuan and had a rough understanding of the situation, but he did not rush into the site. Lu Chuan was an expert in on-site exploration. Wang Zhaokai felt more at ease after waiting for him to arrive before entering the site.
"Bureau Lu, we have just communicated with the reporter. At seven o'clock this morning, the old man came to the dam to graze cattle as usual. As a result, when he passed by the grass, he found a piece of grass that had been crushed. The grass came over and saw that it was a corpse."
Lu Chuan had already put on protective clothing, gloves and shoe covers, and continued to ask: "Any other findings?"
Wang Zhaokai Shaking his head: "Although the old man comes here to graze cattle every morning, he is not always on this side of the dam. He will go there where the water and grass are good, because spring has just begun and there is not much fresh grass."
Wang Zhaokai understood what he meant. The other party did not herd cattle every day, so the time when the suspect dumped the body was not necessarily yesterday, but maybe two or three days ago.
Sure enough, Wang Zhaokai continued: "The old man said that the last time he came to graze cattle was about six or seven days ago and he walked through this area, but he didn't find these things last time."
"Okay, first check the surrounding areas. Let’s disperse the crowd. Let’s proceed first. The forensic department will come over later to determine the time of death.”
As Lu Chuan walked to the place where the bodies were piled up, he continued: “Carry out some housing surveys in the village. , to see if anything strange has happened in the village recently, and if anyone has disappeared."
Next, Lu Chuan entered the scene and began to investigate, and Wang Zhaokai and others also entered. In the village, we also need to start communicating with the police at the local police station.
As soon as Lu Chuan arrived at the place where the body was dumped, Wang Chaokai got more important information.
It was provided by Zhang Datao, director of the local police station.
"Five days ago, someone in Wangjiagou reported that a man was missing. We sent people to investigate, but there has been no progress so far. We..."
In A body was found in the grass at the dam near Wangjiagou Village. Someone was reported missing five days ago, so of course the police would make some connections.
Wang Zhaokai was also moved. How could such a coincidence happen? It all happened in Wangjiagou Village.
“Let’s go, take me to see the situation.”
Wang Zhaokai and the people from the police station first went to the village to learn about the disappearance case at that time. Lu Chuan had already begun to conduct an investigation near the place where the body was dumped.
The criminal police brigade originally wanted to see if the criminal police were attacking Lu Chuan.
"Bureau Lu...this..."
The current investigation team of the High-tech Zone Criminal Police Brigade has been following Lu Chuan in the past two years, and their strength has improved rapidly, but this kind of This was the first time he had seen her at the scene, and it was indeed a bit miserable.
The body must have been burned after being dismembered. It was completely black and there were many burnt areas.
There is a woven bag next to it.
The corpse should have been shaken out from the woven bag. There were bite marks on the woven bag. Many of the bones on the corpse had also been chewed to pieces, exposing the bones inside. Lu Chuan also frowned.
After killing the person, Shura chopped the body into several sections and then burned it, but for some unknown reason it was not completely burned, and then he dumped the body inside.
The other party should have put the body in the woven bag, but there should be wild dogs or stray dogs that bit open the woven bag, revealing a body inside.
Now many parts have been chewed up, and there are more bones left. The more intact ones are the exposed fingers and toes.
"Take pictures first, and then start looking around to see if there are any suspicious footprints, fingerprints or anything like that."
Inspection of field sites is actually quite difficult, especially It's after a relatively long time.
Moreover, the weeds near the dam are very deep, and there are also traces of old cattle herders passing by and livestock trampling on them, so it is difficult to find the traces left behind by the murderer who dumped the body.
The only thing left is to see if there are fingerprints left by the murderer on the woven bag, and if there are any fingerprints left on the body. If so, the direction of the case may be clearer.
Lu Chuan also made a brief analysis of the possible reasons for this. There were relatively obvious blunt force injuries on the head of the deceased.
The collapse of the bones in the back of the head should have been caused by being hit by a heavy hammer, which may be the direct cause of the death of the deceased.
There are also signs of beatings where the bones collapsed. It should have been beaten many times, which ultimately led to the death of the deceased.
The specific time of death should not exceed 7 days, but the specific situation requires some auxiliary verification by the forensic doctor, and a specific determination will be made through anatomy and inspection of internal organs and other conditions.
As for the investigation of the surrounding environment, just as Lu Chuan had worried beforehand, there was not much effect or progress.
There were so many weeds around that he basically couldn't leave any traces after walking over. He could only see the grass falling down. But after the weeds were stepped on, and after people stepped on them, and after different people stepped on them, the situation of the weeds falling down was basically the same. of.
The only difference is that after the old cow stepped on it recently, the mark of the hoof clip is deeper, but it can still be distinguished after walking with people.
Because the head of the deceased has been burnt and the facial features cannot be identified, the identity of the deceased still needs to be extracted through DNA information.
While Lu Chuan was about to start doing this work, Wang Zhaokai hurried over.
"Layout When we were investigating in the village, we also communicated with the police from the local police station. There was a person named Li Xiaofeng in the village who reported missing 5 days ago."
Wang Zhaokai looked at the body in the grass, and then said: "This person... is most likely the missing man."
Missing?
"Does he have any relatives here?"
Lu Chuan asked: "It is best to be direct relatives."
Wang Zhaokai nodded affirmatively: "His parents are here In the village.”
"Okay, collect DNA information from his parents immediately, and then compare them." (End of Chapter)
