Director Lu made no secret of his neglect of the special case team and only arranged for a small assistant policeman to be dispatched by the special case team. The water police station has a search and rescue ship, which is divided into upper and lower floors. Although it is old, it has all kinds of facilities.
The special case team used this ship as the command center for handling the case, and all the food and accommodation were on board. Professor Liang held an umbrella and braved the wind and snow to fish on the deck, enjoying himself freely. Bao Zhan was busy cooking in the cabin. Here
The Yellow River carp is rich in a kind of carp, which is tender and delicious. Bao Zhan stewed the carp with crabs and river shrimps in the pot, and the rich fragrance spread out. Hua Long and Su Mei stood on the bow of the boat, and the snowflakes were still overwhelming.
The Yellow River, the mountains in the distance, the paths and cottages on the bank all turned into a seamless silvery white, just like a fairy tale world.
Su Mei said with a smile: "Forward, our Titanic!"
Hua Long held a cigarette in his mouth and held Su Mei's waist from behind. Su Mei opened her arms and her hair was flying. She slowly sang the Titanic theme song "My Heart Will Go On":
Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance
…
Hua Long threw away the cigarette and said, "I remember that the next scene in the movie was two people kissing."
Su Mei smiled and pushed Hualong away and ran away, saying: "You have a good idea... Xiaobao, is the meal ready?"
The junior police officer brought some daily necessities and the forensic autopsy report. The special case team discussed the case while eating.
The autopsy report showed that the deceased was a middle-aged woman, about 30 years old, who had been beaten before her death. It could not be confirmed whether there were signs of sexual assault. The deceased was put into a woven bag, tied around the mouth, and thrown into the Yellow River.
The deceased was neatly dressed and was thrown into the water before death, which is consistent with the characteristics of death by asphyxiation and drowning. Because the cold water stimulates the respiratory mucosa to secrete a large amount of mucus, there is drowning fluid in the nasal cavity, trachea and lungs. Generally, corpses in the water in summer will wait 1 to 4 days after death.
It can float immediately, but in winter it takes half a month to a month. The corpse was soaked in the water for a little longer. Due to the impact of water flow or the collision of floating objects, the woven bag was broken in many places. The skin and muscles of the corpse came from the hands and forearms.
, the lower legs and face are peeling off. The bodies in the running water can even grow aquatic plants, inhabiting fish and crustaceans.
You can imagine that there is a woven bag in the water, and the people inside are struggling fiercely. Because the space is small, they can't get out of the woven bag even if they try hard. The bag gradually sinks, and some foam appears on the water.
Through small talk, the special case team learned that the junior police officer had just demobilized from the army and was currently a search and rescue team member at the Shuangshui Police Station. Although the salary was meager, he had no police title, and no benefits, the junior police officer felt that this was a job full of positive energy.
. He cherishes this opportunity to participate in solving the case. If he can solve the case of floating corpses and be commended for his meritorious service, he will probably become a formal policeman.
The junior police officer and the Wei father and son who retrieved corpses were from the same village. The Wei father and his son made their fortune from dead people. The junior police officer's job was water rescue. Every summer, especially after the college entrance examination, people usually commit suicide.
The junior police officer said: "I rescued five or six people this year, and they were basically students."
Professor Liang said: "Well done."
Bao Zhan said: "Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Even though this is your job, I give you a thumbs up."
The little police officer said: "Rescuing people is sometimes very dangerous. You
Look at my arm, it was bitten by someone, and there are still marks on it."
Su Mei said: "You save him, but he still bites you?"
The little police officer said: "At that time, the man was standing on the bridge and wanted to commit suicide. I hugged him and he bit me and then jumped down. I jumped into the river to rescue him. He lay down to catch his breath and took advantage of the situation.
I didn't pay attention and jumped again. This time... I couldn't save him. I'm really useless."
Hua Long said: "Oh, I don't blame you, that person really doesn't want to live anymore."
Bao Zhan said: "Do you know why the director sent you to participate in solving the case?"
Su Mei said: "The director has no hope of solving the case."
Hua Long said: "If the case cannot be solved, if something happens, you, a temporary worker, should take the blame."
Professor Liang said: "We will give you a chance to perform and strive to get you to become a full-time employee through meritorious service."
The junior police officer stood at attention, saluted, and said, "I promise to complete the mission."
Everyone smiled. The little auxiliary policeman in front of them was a little funny, but he was full of justice in his heart and made people feel very kind.
The special case team and the assistant police sorted out the clothes of the female body in the water and found a lighter in the pocket with the words "car wash and wax" printed on it, as well as the address and phone number. Based on the clues on the lighter, they successfully identified
The identity of the female body in the water was revealed. The deceased's name was Zhang Jing, 32 years old, and she and her husband Liu Wei ran a car wash shop in the town. The couple were just like their names, ordinary. The car wash shop was very simple, only because of the relatively small location.
Well, it is located at the Yellow River Ferry. Vehicles waiting for the ferry often wash their cars here. The family's income is pretty good.
The young policeman had served in the navy, and sailing was a matter of course. He sailed up the river for dozens of kilometers in the wind and snow, and then came to a Yellow River ferry. There was a yard on the bank that was the car wash shop of the deceased Zhang Jing and his wife. Although this place is similar to the
The location where the body was found was only a few dozen kilometers away, but it was already in another province. The special case team needed to coordinate with the local public security department before proceeding with the next step of investigation.
When the search and rescue ship docked at the shore, the special case team deliberately cultivated and trained the young police officer and deliberately asked him to visit the deceased's home alone.
Professor Liang asked the junior police officer to bring a record book, find the family and neighbors of the deceased, and then asked them three questions:
1. When was the last time you saw the deceased?
2. Who did the deceased have enmity with?
Third, have you ever seen the woven bag wrapping the body of the deceased?
The little police officer returned in vain and soon came back. He sighed and said: "Oh, the family just got the body and they were crying and crying. I didn't dare to ask questions. The neighbors of the deceased didn't cooperate either. I
As soon as I said I was from the Public Security Bureau, they smiled and walked away."
Hualong said: "I'll teach you a way to get the masses to talk."
Hua Long threw a pack of cigarettes in his pocket to the little police officer and asked him to hand him a cigarette during the visit to gain the other person's favor and then record the interview. This method was very effective. The little police officer started from the outside first.
After investigation, we obtained first-hand information about the deceased Zhang Jing from neighbors.
Zhang Jing had a bad reputation, and her neighbors were a little gloating about her death.
Neighbor A said: "This Zhang Jing is over 30 years old and not very handsome. Why did she get killed? She smokes, holds a cigarette in her mouth all day long, wears a leather apron and boots, and washes the car with a water gun."
At work, she has a 'mother-in-law' mouth, and she may die because of her mouth."
Neighbor B said: "This damn bitch has been spreading rumors all day long, saying that the East's house is talking to the West's house, which is annoying people. She said that my sister is working as a young lady in Guangdong. I asked her, but she refused to admit it."
Neighbor C said: "My daughter is studying in junior high school in the town. She came home on Saturday and had a stomachache.
I was sick and passed Zhang Jing's door holding my stomach. She saw it and told people the next day that my baby girl was pregnant and she was only 16 years old."
Neighbor Ding said: "She loves to talk and is mean-mouthed. Whenever my wife and I quarrel, she will eavesdrop from the window to see who is talking to whom."
Through investigation, the image of a venomous woman was sketched in the minds of the special case team.
The motive of many homicide cases is extremely simple, and there are countless bloody cases caused by quarrels and disputes. In Gaomi, Shandong, Xu Mou yelled at his neighbor after drinking and killed 6 members of his neighbor's family, including the family's puppy. In Qingyuan, Guangdong, several bad girls
He beat up a girl, took off her clothes in a public place and kicked her lower body, all because he suspected that the girl was talking bad about her behind her back. In Kunming, Yunnan, a man got into a quarrel because his singing was unpleasant and was hacked to death by more than a dozen people in the street.
Disease enters through the mouth and disaster comes out of the mouth. Could it be that Zhang Jing was killed due to a verbal dispute?
After coordination, the local public security organ dispatched police officers and the special case team to jointly handle the case and investigated the family members of the deceased. Zhang Jing's husband was a simple man who looked useless. Zhang Jing's body was covered with a sheet and was parked.
In the yard, family members came in crying from time to time to express their condolences. Liu Wei, still wearing the leather apron he used to work in car washing, was leaning on the bedside in the back room, with his hands in his sleeves and his eyes closed. The tears on his face were not dry. He felt extremely sad due to excessive sadness.
He was exhausted. He had been up all night since hearing the bad news about his wife. When the special case team and the assistant police found him, he actually fell asleep.
The special case team explained their purpose, and the police officer handed Liu Wei a cigarette. When Liu Wei lit the cigarette, everyone discovered that one of his arms was obviously disabled.
During the previous investigation, neighbors reported that Liu Wei was taciturn and Zhang Jing was particularly nagging. The couple was at odds with each other and often quarreled. Once, Zhang Jing scolded him for a whole night because of trivial matters.
Until daybreak, he kept nagging. Liu Wei was so annoyed that he struck his arm with an ax in a rage, causing multiple fractures and leaving him disabled.
Liu Wei said: "I usually like to play cards and fight landlords, and I don't play with money. My mother-in-law is very fond of mumbling. She won't even let me play cards. She says she won't let anyone sleep in the middle of the night. My arm is useless.
Yes, she forced it."
Su Mei said: "You are really an honest man. You can chop yourself with an ax but not your wife."
Hua Long said: "I have to admit that a woman's tongue can drive people crazy."
Bao Zhan asked: "What happened on the day your wife disappeared? Did you quarrel?"
Liu Wei said: "Oh, forget it, I wanted to chop myself with an ax that day too."
A few days ago, a song and dance troupe came to the town. They set up a tent in the open space and performed duets, juggling, magic and singing and dancing. The music was deafening, attracting many idle men in the town to watch, and children also slipped through the gaps in the tents.
He went in and was kicked out with a smile. Liu Wei couldn't resist the temptation and bought a ticket to watch for a while. Zhang Jing came and wanted to break into the tent to look for her husband, but was blocked by the ticket seller of the song and dance troupe, and a dispute ensued.
Hua Long said: "Do you suspect that your wife was beaten to death by people from that song and dance troupe?"
Liu Wei said: "I don't know. At that time, my mother-in-law got into a fight with two dancing women. My mother-in-law wanted to call the police, saying that their nude dance was a pornographic performance."
Bao Zhan asked: "What kind of pornographic performances are there?"
Liu Wei said: "There are people who do striptease, and there are people who perform the Eighteen Moves of Strange Women."
Su Mei said: "What are the Eighteen Moves of the Wonder Woman?"
Liu Wei lowered his head and said, "You will know after you go and take a look."
