Chapter 12 Mystery in the Cemetery
Yuan Cheng's eyes lit up, and then he said helplessly: "It's not that easy, I'm a first-class patrolman now!
The people above are the third-class detectives. It will be good luck for me to become the second-class detective in 15 years!"
Cheng Shi didn't say anything after hearing this, he knew that Yuan Cheng was telling the truth!
Even Huang Huangrong, who made an exception and became a level three agent when he entered, took 20 years to reach the highest position of patrol in the French Concession.
Huang Huangrong's father was a famous arrester himself, after he entered the arresting room and served them for 20 years!
That is to say, in October next year, he will be promoted to the chief inspector of the Chinese Police Department, the highest position of the patrol. He is also the only Chinese to achieve this position!
Cheng Guang quickly stood in front of them and began to speak: "Well, before the last case was over, something happened again. Detective Qian, please bring a few police officers with you now.
Go directly to the destination foreign cemetery, check the crime scene, bring the body back, and give me a detailed report on the case."
From the front row, a man in his 30s walked out. He stood at attention and then said, "Yes, Inspector Cheng!"
Qian Mancang selected the person, and when he was about to leave, Cheng Shi also said: "Report to Detective Cheng, I want to go to the scene with Detective Qian to have a look!"
When Cheng Shi heard this, he thought to himself that this guy was not focusing on the previous case. Why was he paying so much attention to this case? However, he still nodded in agreement.
Cheng Shi ran a few steps and caught up with Qian Mancang's group. Cheng Shi found that Yuan Cheng was also among the group, so he leaned towards him and nodded, without speaking.
Cheng Shi took two deep breaths, and then began to look left and right at the buildings on the road. First, he admired the buildings of the Republic of China 100 years ago, and mainly remembered the nearby terrain and features.
Cheng Shi's actions were all seen in Qian Mancang's eyes. Qian Mancang Sheng didn't say anything, but curled his lips in disgust, wondering why this waste is following you here!
Soon, the group of five people came to a cemetery covering an area of about 9,330 square meters. This is the earliest foreign cemetery in Shanghai.
Because the cemetery was overgrown with weeds and the tombstones were messy, the Swire Company funded the construction of a fence and built three tiled houses in the cemetery and hired people to guard them.
Swire was a shipping company during the Republic of China, and Hyundai is a listed company engaged in real estate, aviation and beverages.
Next to Foreign Cemetery, there is also a pier, also called Fenshan Pier. Although it is called a pier, the facilities are simple and all are wooden springboards.
When they first arrived at Foreign Cemetery, Qian Mancang was a little angry, because no one was waiting for them here, and they didn't even know where the body was!
Qian Mancang directed the patrol to start looking for someone, and several people went to the tiled house to look for someone. Soon Yuan Cheng came back with an old man in his 60s.
Soon, several people saw the corpse. It was a beautiful female corpse, lying on its back next to a new grave.
There was nothing but hair on the entire corpse, and there was only an obvious purple-red mark on her neck.
Several people were stunned. Qian Mancang was the first to react and shouted dissatisfied at one of them: "Forensic Doctor Li, why are you standing there stunned? Can't you handle the case anymore?"
Article 120 of the Criminal Procedure Law promulgated by the government of the Republic of China in 1912 stipulates that based on the on-site investigation and autopsy examination, the doctor should propose the time of death, so it is called a forensic doctor.
Forensic Doctor Li then began to examine the body. Forensic Doctor Li was very professional in collecting evidence at the scene. However, Cheng Shi kept staring at the body, and he always felt that something was not right.
Soon Cheng Shi discovered something was wrong. This woman's body was too clean, which was a bit too clean for a place like a cemetery.
A patrol officer started to take notes and take notes, but Li Xiaochun had already spoken.
"The deceased was a female, aged between 18 and 25. There were obvious strangulation marks on the neck of the deceased. Preliminary identification shows that she died of suffocation!
Judging from the mild stiffness of the deceased's jaw, neck, shoulders, elbows, thighs, and lower limbs, as well as the current temperature at night!
The time of death should be four hours (8 hours) ago.
Judging from the new corpse spots on the chest of the deceased and the old corpse spots on the back, the deceased was killed first and then moved again a few hours later!
The preliminary determination is complete, and the detailed autopsy results will not be done until I return!"
When Qian Mancang heard this, he nodded and said, "Okay, check to see if there are any clues nearby. If not, take the body back first!"
Cheng Shi walked up to the old man watching the grave nearby and asked, "Old man, how did you find the body?!"
Qian Mancang looked at Cheng Shi who didn't obey the order. He wanted to say something, but stopped and took a few steps to get close to the two of them.
When the old man heard the question, he began to explain slowly: "There are three people here to look after the grave. The other two young people went to report the crime, and I stayed here alone!
I was a very light sleeper, and around a quarter past three o'clock (after 3 o'clock) I heard some noises. I thought they were some kind of animals or tomb robbers.
I got up and went out to take a look, and vaguely saw a figure. I was afraid that I couldn't deal with him, so I went to call one of the young people.
As a result, before we could get close to him, he might have discovered us, turned around and ran away, and after we ran over, we found the body!"
Before Cheng Shi could speak, Qian Mancang asked: "What does the other party look like?!"
The old man thought for a while and said: "It was too dark, so I couldn't see clearly. I saw that he was a strong man, and he seemed to be wearing something!"
Before the two of them could continue questioning, the three patrolmen who had dispersed came back. Yuan Cheng held something in his hand and took the lead in reporting the situation to Qian Mancang.
Yuan Cheng said: "Agent Qian, we didn't find anything important. We only found a shovel that may have been dropped by the other party!"
When Qian Mancang heard this, he nodded and said, "Okay, check to see if there are any clues nearby. If not, transport the body back!"
At this time, Cheng Shi walked up to the old man watching the grave and asked, "Old man, are you the only one here? How did you find the body?!"
Qian Mancang looked at the other two patrolmen and saw that they both shook their heads, indicating that they had found nothing, so he started to make arrangements.
"Okay, let's call it a day. Get the shovel and the body away. First, go back and find out the identity of the deceased, and then find the people around her. From the description of the witnesses, the murderer should be a strong man!"
Cheng Shi turned to Qian Mancang and said, "Agent Qian, you go back first, and I'll see if there are any missing clues!"
When Qian Mancang heard this, he snorted coldly, thinking that you were just trying to be lazy. However, thinking of the other party's father, the detective, he didn't say it out loud.
Instead, he said with a cold face: "Okay, then Inspector Cheng will look at it carefully again! We will go back first!"
Cheng Shi ignored Agent Qian's livid expression and asked the old man to lead him around the graveyard.
When Qian Mancang saw Cheng, he ignored him at all, and instead of asking for trouble, he just had someone take the body away from the cemetery.
Cheng Shi then learned from the old man that there were walls on all sides, and there was only a wooden door where they came in. They would lock it before going to bed.
Cheng Shi found out the two routes he took in and out based on the grass that grew one foot long in the cemetery and the grass that was distorted when the other party came and left.
