Chapter 1 - The Sin of Gluttony (1)

"What's going on at the scene?"

Bai Hongwei pushed aside the cordon and asked while putting on his gloves.

"The deceased, Liu Quan, was the owner of Daquan BBQ Restaurant. The person who discovered the deceased was the street cleaner. Because the cleaner would go to the deceased's shop to fetch water at this time every day, the deceased was discovered."

"Has the cause of death been determined?"

Hearing Bai Hongwei ask this, the young policeman looked a little embarrassed.

"What happened?"

Bai Hongwei was a little surprised, but the little policeman had already run to the side and vomited.

"It's been a year, why is it still like this!"

After Bai Hongwei finished speaking, he walked into the barbecue restaurant. The tables and chairs in the barbecue restaurant were pushed aside, and a chair was placed in the middle. The deceased's hands and feet were tied to the chair behind his back, and the iron wire was deeply cut into the deceased's flesh, and the deceased's belly was cut open.

He opened it, with stones in his stomach and blood flowing all over the floor.

Bai Hongwei turned his head, resisted the discomfort in his stomach, and walked out of the barbecue restaurant to light a cigarette. He waited until the cigarette burned out before re-entering the scene.

"Okay, I know what you want to ask, but I can't answer you now. I will give you an autopsy report as soon as possible after I take the body back."

After Song Anchun finished speaking, he directed people to put the body into a body bag and take it away.

"you...."

Bai Hongwei was a little anxious, but he was also very helpless. After all, Song Anchun was the person arranged by the director, and he was able to become the director of forensic medicine at the age of twenty-seven, so his strength was certainly reasonable. Apart from his weird temper, there was nothing else.

"Captain, look here!"

Bai Hongwei followed the sound and found a word written in blood on the far wall: gluttony.

"What does it mean?"

Bai Hongwei's English is not good and he doesn't know what this word means, but the trace inspection personnel have already taken a picture of this word.

After a brief survey of the scene, Bai Hongwei didn't see anything special, and the onlookers kept talking outside the cordon.

"Da Binzi, Da Binzi!"

Bai Hongwei shouted a few times, and the young man just now ran over quickly.

"Captain, there are old cities around here. As long as there is traffic monitoring on the main roads, I think..."

Before Da Binzi finished speaking, he saw Bai Hongwei's sharp eyes and was so frightened that he quickly shut his mouth.

"I said, what do you use your brain and eyes for? Even if you don't have a good brain, your eyes won't work, right? Look, look what they are!"

As he spoke, Bai Hongwei moved Da Binzi's head to one side with his hands. Da Binzi saw a camera in the supermarket diagonally opposite, and the camera was facing right here.

"Yes, I understand!"

Seeing Da Binzi running towards the supermarket, Bai Hongwei sighed helplessly.

"Okay, let the young people teach you slowly! No one is born to be a police officer."

Song Anchun put his hands in his pockets and stood behind Bai Hongwei. Bai Hongwei turned around, thought for a while and asked.

"No, you really don't have any clues to give me? At least you can give me an approximate time of death or something. Look at this grandson being so perverted and catching him a day earlier, we can rest assured a day earlier!"

Song Anchun frowned, turned around and looked at the scene behind him and said.

"We collected a lot of fingerprints at the scene, but we don't know yet whether there is a murderer. There were signs of life in the areas where the deceased's hands and feet were tied, indicating that he was still alive when the deceased was tied. The wound on the deceased's stomach was in a Y-shape, and the murderer

It is possible that he has forensic knowledge. But why the deceased’s stomach was stuffed with stones, I don’t know yet.”

"I have a question. Were the stones in the deceased's stomach inserted while he was alive, or after he died?"

Song Anchun sighed and pushed the broken hair on his forehead behind his ears with his hands.

"I don't know this yet. Everything is unknown until I conduct a detailed autopsy, but according to my preliminary observation, the deceased died of excessive blood loss."

Everyone in the Binhai City Criminal Investigation Detachment was busy nervously. Bai Hongwei stood in front of the whiteboard and thought. The ashtray was filled with cigarette butts, like a hedgehog.

"Meeting!"

Bai Hongwei roared, and everyone in the office gathered over.

"Who says it first!"

Bai Hongwei sat on the chair and poured the cigarette butts from the ashtray into the trash can.

"The deceased Liu Quan, male, 52 years old, is the owner of Daquan BBQ. Daquan BBQ is located in the innermost part of the old city. The old city was included in the old city reconstruction plan as early as five years ago, but for some reason it has not been renovated.

.But I have already obtained surveillance from the supermarket opposite Daqo BBQ."

After Da Binzi finished speaking, after a few operations on his computer, the surveillance screen was displayed on the big screen.

"This is last night's surveillance. We can see that at 1:15 in the morning, Liu Quan entered the supermarket to buy something. At 1:10, Liu Quan left the supermarket. According to the surveillance, Liu Quan bought a cigarette.

, we can confirm that Liu Quan was still alive at that time. Then we fast-forwarded the surveillance to two o'clock in the morning, when the last table of customers left, and Liu Quan spent half an hour cleaning up the store. After that, at two o'clock in the morning, at five

Around ten, a man wearing a black raincoat came to the store."

"Wait a moment!"

At this time, a female voice sounded, and everyone turned their heads to see a short girl wearing a police uniform standing behind everyone. At this time, the girl raised her hands and looked embarrassed. She was obviously a newcomer.

"What do you want to say?"

Bai Hongwei knew this girl, Kong Bingxuan. She was an intern forced by the director to him. He had always regarded Kong Bingxuan as a related person. At this time, she suddenly said that she was a little curious.

"I'm just a little curious. The temperature in Binhai City is very high in summer, but look at why that man is wearing such thick clothes."

"Yes! This person is wearing too thick clothes!"

Da Binzi was also a little curious, why did this man wear such thick clothes in such a hot weather?

"Pause, zoom in!"

After Bai Hongwei finished speaking, Da Binzi quickly paused the screen. Bai Hongwei stared at the screen carefully and said.

"raincoat?"

"Raincoat? The murderer is wearing a raincoat? But it's been hot for days and it hasn't rained recently?"

Bai Hongwei shook his head and slowly said two words.

"Fishermen!"

"What?"

No one understood what Bai Hongwei said for a while, but Da Binzi seemed to understand something when he heard Bai Hongwei's words.

"The ocean climate in Binhai City is good, and this is the best season to go to sea. Song Anchun, what caused the wounds on the deceased's body?"

Song Anchun sent the autopsy report in his hand to his assistant and then said.

"According to my autopsy, the deceased's body was cut open with a single-edged sharp knife, and the length should be about fifteen centimeters. Also, I can answer your question now. When the deceased's stomach was cut open,

Alive."

Everyone was speechless for a while, no matter how rich their imaginations were, they could not imagine the pain the deceased suffered before death.

"By the way, what does that word left on the wall of the Dead Man's BBQ restaurant mean?"

Just as Da Binzi was about to say something, Kong Bingxuan spoke.

"Gluttony, gluttony. This is one of the seven deadly sins considered by Catholicism, and the seven deadly sins are gluttony, lust, jealousy, anger, arrogance, greed, and laziness. I think the reason why the murderer did this is because...

..."

Kong Bingxuan didn't know what to say for a while. Bai Hongwei pulled down the photos of the scene and looked at everyone and said.

"First check the social relations of the deceased to see if anyone has recently become enemies with the deceased, and notify the deceased's family to identify the body."

Everyone left one after another, Bai Hongwei stared at the whiteboard, and for some reason he had a feeling that this matter would not end so easily.

"team leader....."

Bai Hongwei looked at Kong Bingxuan standing in front of him. Just as he was about to say something, the door of the conference room was pushed open.

"Captain, there's another case."

"Grrrrrr!"

The weather in Binhai City was very hot at noon. After Bai Hongwei drank a large bottle of mineral water, he wiped the sweat from his forehead vigorously.

"Not here yet?"

"immediately!"

Da Binzi also kept wiping the sweat from his forehead. He was just about to investigate the deceased's social relations when he received a call from the police station.

"Here we are, right here!"

Da Binzi pointed to a small restaurant in front of him. This is a village in the city, where a large number of people at the bottom of society live. Thirty meters to the east is a construction site, where there are a large number of temporary workers. To the north is a driving school, where people learn to drive every day.

There are hundreds of people. Therefore, this small restaurant without a name has become a canteen for these people.

But now this small restaurant has become the most terrifying purgatory. A fat man is lying on the ground, his stomach has been cut open, and his stomach is filled with yellow sand.

"What happened to the deceased?"

Although this was not the first time Bai Hongwei saw such a corpse, his stomach was still churning.

"The deceased Wang Dafu, male, 55 years old, the person who called the police was a friend of the deceased. He came here to eat after working at the construction site, and found the deceased, so he called the police."

Bai Hongwei stood up and rubbed his head, just in time to see Song Anchun bringing someone in.

"Okay, you will only destroy the scene here, get out quickly! If you have time to destroy the scene here, you might as well go and ask the witnesses. This time, the witnesses did not leave the scene, so go and ask!"

Bai Hongwei nodded, knowing that he couldn't help here, so he and Da Binzi simply walked towards the reporter.

"Did you report the case?"

Bai Hongwei looked at the man in front of him up and down, took out a cigarette and handed it over.

"Yes, it's me!"

The man said and took the cigarette from Bai Hongwei's hand. The man took out the lighter and lit it for Bai Hongwei first, and then lit it for himself. Bai Hongwei looked at the trembling man and smiled, stretched out his hand and patted it.

That person's shoulders.

"Don't be nervous. I know everyone would be scared when seeing something like this. So now you take a deep breath to adjust, and then tell me carefully what is going on."

The man nodded when he saw Bai Hongwei's appearance and took a few puffs of cigarette before speaking.

"I come to Lao Wang's place to eat every day. It's very economical here and we can't make much money while working, so we all like to come here. I'm a temporary worker and I started work early this morning, so I finish work early, so I thought

I came here to have a meal early, and then went back to sleep. When I came here, I saw the door was closed, so I opened the door directly and came in. I didn’t expect to see this scene. I was so frightened that I quickly called the police.”

"Okay, I probably understand the situation. You go back with our people to record a detailed confession first. If there is any need for your help later, we may have to trouble you."

After the man left, Bai Hongwei looked at Da Binzi and smiled.

"I know what you are thinking, but I can tell you clearly that this person is not the murderer. The body of the deceased is still warm, and it is obvious that he died not long ago. If this person is the murderer, there will be no time to clean the blood. Also,

It is very possible that the two cases were committed by one person."

Da Binzi lowered his head and said nothing, while Bai Hongwei looked around and suddenly asked.

"How far is it from the first crime scene?"

"Probably, about five kilometers."

Bai Hongwei nodded and took the notebook from Da Binzi's hand.

"The first case occurred around three o'clock. Even if the murderer took an hour to commit the crime, took a rest and then came here to commit the crime, who is this person?"

Bai Hongwei frowned. The first case had already given him enough headaches, but he didn't expect there would be a second case so soon.

"Collect the team first and then talk about it after we get back!"

Bai Hongwei turned around and got into the police car. The summer in Binhai City was always so hot. Bai Hongwei turned up the air conditioning in the car to the maximum and kept fanning his collar.

"Captain, you are back."

Bai Hongwei saw that the people in the office looked a little strange, so he pulled someone over and asked.

"What's going on?"

"Captain, the new little girl has captured a person. It seems that he was caught from the scene of the first crime. That person is now being held in the interrogation room by the little girl. Do you want to go and have a look?"

"Nonsense!"

Bai Hongwei rushed to the door of the interrogation room. When he opened the door, he saw a man in his thirties sitting on a chair with his hands cuffed. Kong Bingxuan was placing the photo of the first deceased on the table.

"what are you doing?"

When Kong Bingxuan saw Bai Hongwei coming, he quickly stood up from his chair.

"Captain, when I was reviewing the scene, I encountered this guy sneaking around outside the scene, so I caught this guy back. The murderer usually returns to the scene after committing the crime. On the one hand, he wants to see if the police have investigated.

What clues are there, on the other hand, it is to give myself a greater sense of accomplishment.”

Bai Hongwei looked at the man sitting on the chair. He was of medium build and average appearance, wearing black-rimmed glasses. Bai Hongwei sat opposite the man and asked.

"What do you call it?"

"Chen Bai!"

Bai Hongwei took out a cigarette and lit it. He knew that Kong Bingxuan had most likely arrested the wrong person, but he still wanted to inquire carefully.

"Okay, don't ask, I'll just tell you!"

The man adjusted his glasses, looked at Bai Hongwei and said.

"My name is Chen Bai, male, 35 years old, teaching criminal psychology at the Public Security University. The reason why I appeared at the scene is because the case you are currently investigating has been circulated on the Internet. If you don't believe it, you can go online and read it.

Look. Also, you may be facing a person who has a twisted heart and wants to take revenge on society. He killed two people in just one day, so you should be careful."

Bai Hongwei nodded, stood up, took out a cigarette and handed it to Chen Bai.

"Okay, I will verify your identity immediately. If what you say is true, you can leave."

After leaving the interrogation room, Bai Hongwei walked in front without saying a word, followed by Kong Bingxuan.

"Go check and see if what this person says is true!"

Bai Hongwei turned around and roared at Kong Bingxuan behind him.

"Yes, I understand!"

Kong Bingxuan was frightened and ran out quickly.

"What's wrong?"

When Da Binzi walked in with a bunch of information, he happened to see Kong Bingxuan walking out.

"What's wrong? Who does this little girl think she is? She actually grabbed a random person from the crime scene. I just checked and it's not the murderer at all."

Da Binzi put down the information in his arms and said with a smile.

"Okay, let's teach the newcomers slowly! Who hasn't come from a newcomer position?"

"That's not right. You are also a newcomer, but even if you have some unexpected things, at least you are obedient! Look at her, I really don't know why the director put this guy in!"

When Bai Hongwei was saying this, Kong Bingxuan walked in with a stack of information.

"I just confirmed with people from the Public Security University that this person is fake. There is no such person in the Public Security University."

Bai Hongwei looked at Kong Bingxuan's evasive eyes and asked in a stern tone.

"Can you say that again?"

"Okay! He is a teacher from the Public Security University!"

Kong Bingxuan said as he put the collected information on the table, turned around and went out.

"boom!"

Bai Hongwei slapped the table, and Da Binzi also saw the information on the table.

"I arrested the wrong person, and I'm still telling lies now. Do you think I can still have this person?"

"Teacher Chen!"

Da Binzi was a little surprised that the person Kong Bingxuan arrested was actually his criminal psychology teacher at the Public Security University.

"you know?"

Bai Hongwei was a little surprised. Although Chen Bai's identity had been confirmed, he was still a little surprised.

"Of course, Teacher Chen is the best criminal psychology teacher at the Public Security University. He has many legendary stories."

"you know?"

Da Binzi smiled, picked up the information on the table and said.

"Teacher Chen was my criminal psychology teacher when I was in college. Many of us admired him very much at that time."

"Okay, okay, it's useless for us to say this now. How about the social relationship between the two deceased people?"

Da Binzi heard Bai Hongwei ask this and quickly handed over the information in his hand.

"Our people are still visiting, but according to the information we have, there is no relationship between the two people."

Bai Hongwei lit a cigarette and frowned while looking at the information in his hand.

"You'd better investigate their respective social relationships first, I'm looking at the information."

Bai Hongwei stared at the information in his hand. Liu Quan and Zhang Dafu had almost nothing in common except that they both ran restaurants.
