Jiuxiang Old Well is surrounded by peasant buildings of different heights on three sides, with only one road leading in and out of the alley.
Therefore, only one camera is installed, and depending on the angle, it should only capture the three acres of land at the entrance of the alley.
Li Zan squeezed out from the crowd of onlookers, straightened his loose coat, opened his long legs, and stepped into the nearest farmer's building.
Several farmers' buildings are next to each other, and a small courtyard with a width of two meters is enclosed by a wall, which takes up most of the sidewalk. It is an illegal building. However, it is a very common situation in urban villages. If you want to rectify it, it will be a big deal.
project.
From the outside, the farmer's buildings are closely connected to each other and there is no way to go. In fact, through the wall, you can see that there is a small alleyway between the two farmers' buildings that can only be passed by one person.
There is no surveillance in the alleyway.
Li Zan stood in the middle of the alleyway. There were a few irregular drops of blood on the wall about 1.5 meters high in front of him, which had dried into pieces.
He pulled out a transparent ziplock bag from his coat pocket, which contained two tubes of cotton swabs, a small bottle of distilled water, a small stick remover, small tweezers, two or three folded evidence bags, and disposable gloves.
This ziplock bag can be said to be a small, basic version of an evidence extraction box. It is convenient and simple to carry around with you, and it also has a professional look.
Li Zan took out a tube of cannulated cotton swabs and a special small bottle of distilled water, sprayed water on the blood droplets first, then used a cotton swab to collect the blood stains, put the cannula on to prevent blood stain contamination, and then put it into the evidence bag.
The whole set of movements was performed smoothly and swiftly, and it was obvious that he had done on-site evidence collection no less than a thousand times.
After collecting traces, Li Zan walked out of the alleyway and looked at the two farmers' buildings side by side opposite.
The farmer's building has an electronic anti-theft iron door, which cannot be entered without a magnetic card. There is no monitoring system installed on the outside, but it is probably installed inside the corridor.
There was a large trailer-type trash can at the entrance of the alley. Li Zan walked around the trash can several times, and the surface was as clean as the trash can.
The garbage truck starts collecting garbage at seven o'clock every morning. If there is anything related to the murder, it should be sent to the garbage dump for destruction.
Li Zan looked up at the entrance of the alley, thought for a moment, pushed the trailer-type trash can away, stopped when he saw a long red women's purse, put on disposable gloves and picked up the women's purse.
The wallet was empty and there were no valuable clues on the surface.
Li Zan put the woman's wallet into the evidence bag and continued walking around Jiuxiang. After roughly understanding the surrounding building layout and surveillance distribution, he returned to the back seat of the police car to wait for Lao Zeng and the others.
Unfortunately, the scene of stepping on the roof of the car and returning to the back seat to sit idle happened to be seen by Zhao Yanli of the People's Livelihood First column team.
Zhao Yanli took out his mobile phone and photographed the evidence until Li Zan closed the car door and the bulletproof glass blocked their prying eyes.
The assistant was indignant: "Sister Zhao, he seems to be from the criminal investigation team of the branch. Others were collecting clues at the scene, but he sneaked back into the car and sat around - taking public food without doing anything. This kind of 'silverfish' should be exposed!"
"
Zhao Yanli: "Go back and sort out the materials and report tomorrow morning."
The assistant hesitated: "Didn't the main station tell us not to report?"
Zhao Yanli stepped on the accelerator: "The responsibility and mission of journalists is to adhere to professional ethics and restore the truth."
Knock. Knock.
Li Zan knocked on the car window and sent a few notes to Lao Zeng, and then distributed text messages to the team leader of the trace inspector and the person in charge of technical investigation. After explaining a series of matters, the forensic doctor had returned with the body parts.
Forensic Inspection Center.
Ten minutes later, Lao Zeng opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. He turned around and gave Li Zan the car keys: "Chen Jie is doing well in all aspects, especially her adaptability and endurance to the murder case."
"Let's take a look." Li Zan didn't say much. He took the car key and handed over the collected evidence bag: "Notify others that there will be a meeting at three o'clock in the afternoon."
Lao Zeng responded, opened the door and got out of the car.
Li Zan moved to the driver's seat, stepped on the accelerator and drove around most of Guangdong City, specifically looking for small convenience stores selling tobacco and alcohol, as well as some inconspicuous tobacco and alcohol shops.
Relying on his experience as a seasoned expert in smoking and drinking, he successfully found out the release date of special price tobacco and alcohol.
..
Xinzhou District Public Security Bureau, Guangdong City, Municipal Criminal Investigation Detachment.
"... According to reports on the Dongcheng District corpse dismemberment news incident, the police of the district branch quickly rushed to the scene to carry out investigation work after receiving reports from the masses, but subsequent incidents need to be followed up. Zhao Yanli, reporter of the People's Livelihood First column, reports for you.
"
Wow—!
Like a drop of water falling into a hot pan of oil, the detachment was filled with excitement, and they were discussing among themselves what reasons should be used to refuse the bad job in the branch this time.
"In the murder case of the 'nursing home', who do you think will be sent there?"
"Anyway, don't look for me. The case I'm doing is annoying enough."
"Don't look for me either. I stayed up for two days. Even if I go to a nursing home, coffee won't save my dog's life."
"I won't talk about the staffing of the criminal investigation team of the branch. Everyone knows what they are doing. We usually just clean up the mess, but the other key manpower and material resources are holding us back. Hiss - no, I really can't do it."
"We still have to pick it up, or shall we draw lots?"
"Don't be stupid, it's all decided by the higher ups first."
The members of the detachment were pushed back and forth, their expressions were as if they were mourning for their heirs, and they were depressed, as if they had lost the joy of life since then.
"At least there has never been a murder case before..."
"Oh, it's so tricky."
The Criminal Investigation Detachment was feeling gloomy inside, and the Captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment was receiving a personal information push from above, which recorded the police officers who had been recommended to the branch to cooperate in handling the dismemberment case.
Ji Chengling, male, 23 years old, outstanding graduate of the 18th China Public Security University.
The following are the awards Ji Chengling received during school and internship. His resume is indeed excellent, but without practical experience, it is just talk on paper.
The superiors probably had the intention of cultivating him when they asked him to go to the branch.
After pondering for a long time, the captain of the city bureau detachment made a call: "Call Ji Chengling in."
..
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Zan pushed open the door of the branch conference room on time, and it was full of people.
The Trace Inspection Section, Technical Investigation Section, and Forensic Inspection Center each sent representatives over to discuss with people from the Criminal Investigation Brigade around the conference table. There were laptops or leather notebooks in front of the table, ready to add new records at any time.
"It's all ready." Li Zan held the gift box bag in his hand, put it on the main seat, sat down, put his elbows on the armrests, and hung his fingers naturally. He glanced at the unfamiliar face of Ji Chengling and said, "The General Administration has already
Are you so depraved that you send a little brat to pick up the slack?"
Ji Chengling was assigned to the branch and received a whole morning of sympathy, comfort and knowledge. He didn't have a good impression of the branch. When he arrived, he became even more dissatisfied with the lazy working atmosphere of the branch. Captain Li Zan was the first to bear the brunt.
He immediately said with a cold eyebrow: "It's not as good as your branch, but you still have a little brat to take over!"
Chen Jie hissed and asked Lao Zeng in a low voice: "We haven't introduced him yet, have we? How did Team Li know that the stupid young man was sent by the General Administration to be the boss?"
Before Lao Zeng could answer, Chen Jie heard Li Zan say lazily: "New uniform, all on me, no wrinkles on the cuffs and collar, I guess it's been ironed every morning and evening. It's only been two days since I took office."
The child can be so excited - Chen Jie, do you think your uniform has faded?"
Chen Jie lowered her head to look at her uniform. She saw that it was not that smooth, and the cuffs were a little loose. It must have been accidentally pulled during the pornographic sweeps in the morning.
"There are also many young people coming to our branch. How can you be sure that you are from the main bureau?"
"Who else but the General Administration would show me the expression that love is harder than hate?"
"..." Chen Jie: "Are you sure it's love that's more difficult than hate and not eating shi?"
"Pay attention to your quality. Comrade Xiao Chen, as a subordinate, you need to be a qualified supporter first and avoid causing trouble——"
"Boom!"
Ji Chengling, a young man, didn't hold back. He grabbed the thermos flask and slammed it on the table, and said stiffly: "The working habit of your branch is to talk about trivial matters during the murder case?"
Chen Jie, who had never experienced a murder case or the busy atmosphere of the branch, could not find anything to say, so she had to lower her head and pretend to sort out the records.
When Ji Chengling saw this, he laughed sarcastically.
The others went about their own business and pretended not to hear. They poured hot water and scented tea and asked their neighbors if they wanted some. I don’t know, they thought it was a tea party.
Thief Ji Chengling couldn't stand their bureaucracy, and he was full of dissatisfaction. He made up his mind to write a report and severely criticize him even if he was punished.
Li Zan fiddled with the tea cup on the table and said lightly: "Okay, let's get down to business."
As soon as he finished speaking, others responded and moved the teacups in front of them to avoid accidental damage to the paper documents.
For a time, the sounds of turning papers and tapping laptops came one after another, suddenly creating a busy, professional and capable atmosphere.
It seems as if the much-maligned residents of the "nursing home" in front of them have also been brave and brave.
Ji Chengling sneered and looked at them coldly to see how long they could keep showing off.
"Lao Zhong, please tell me the autopsy results first. Chen Jie, pay attention to the records." Li Zan said.
Chen Jie quickly prepared to record: "I'm OK."
Zhong Xueru stood up: "Please look at the big screen."
Everyone looked back at the monitor, and photos of mutilated corpses appeared on the screen.
When taking pictures, the lens was very close, and the cut texture, dark red organs, and dissected limbs were enlarged, making the photos extremely clear.
Chen Jie held her forehead, she had been watching it all morning and still couldn't get used to this bloody scene.
It was the first time that Ji Chengling received such a strong visual impact. The color drained from his face and he felt like vomiting. However, he saw that the inactive 'senior care bugs' in his eyes were not only accustomed to it, but they were also able to communicate normally and keenly find out key clues.
This situation felt similar to what he saw at the city bureau exchange meeting as an outstanding trainee police officer.
But how is it possible?
The heroes who appeared at the city bureau exchange meeting have all received various medals of honor, and compared with them, the bureau's elderly care home owners would be on the moon.
"The deceased woman was between 24 and 26 years old. She was about 1.6 meters tall and weighed about 45 kilograms. The time of death was about 4 days ago, and the cause of death was mechanical asphyxia." Zhong Xueru clicked on the picture of the anatomy of the internal organs: "
Congestion in the heart, liver and kidneys, pulmonary congestion and emphysema, as well as submucosal rupture of organs."
Lao Zeng recorded: "This is considered death by suffocation, not mechanical suffocation."
Mechanical asphyxia refers to asphyxiation death caused by external violent factors. Asphyxiation death caused by disease or poisoning cannot be classified as mechanical asphyxia.
Zhong Xueru clicked on the next picture, which was the head and upper body of a female corpse.
"Look," he enlarged the picture: "There are purple bruises on the end of the neck of the deceased's head and on the upper body of the neck. When put together, it is a complete fatal injury. The murder weapon should be some kind of rope one finger wide. Due to the pollution and destruction of well water,
, we were unable to find any traces of the murder weapon."
"It's a belt." Li Zan gestured to Zhong Xueru to zoom in on part of the picture. On the left side of the deceased, close to the ear, there was a white hole 1 cm below the end of the hair that was blocked by the hair. "Ladies' thin belt, here is the pin buckle poked in."
trace."
Chen Jie squinted her eyes and couldn't help but nod: "It's a bit like a mark from a belt."
Zhong Xueru: "There were slight scratches near the deceased's temples, but there were no constraint injuries on his left and right hands, and his fingernails were intact."
Chen Jie: "What do you mean?"
Li Zan: "There is no intention of struggling or being tied up."
"Didn't the scratch on the head come from the struggle to escape?" Chen Jie was surprised.
Ji Chengling couldn't help but said: "No. The fingernails on her left and right hands were intact, which means there was no struggle when she was strangled. Even if the scratch caused the deceased to faint briefly, the needle button poked the soft flesh behind the ear, which would cause serious consequences.
The pain will cause her to wake up instantly and fight back."
"The reason for the lack of resistance can only mean that she was in a state of being unable to resist at that time, maybe she was drugged."
Chen Jie: "Brother, nb!"
She thought Ji Chengling was a rookie who just graduated and followed the script, but she didn't expect that he was really good.
"I'm willing to throw a talented student over to support him, but the General Administration is still very impressive." Li Zan took a sip of tea to relieve his craving for cigarettes: "It's not bad, but he lacks comprehensive thinking."
Ji Chengling rolled his eyes and thought about the bureaucratic style of the branch that refuses to admit that he has no ability and pretends to beat the newcomers.
"For example, the deceased did not faint, but was in an extremely relaxed posture and was strangled to death without warning."
"Impossible!" Ji Chengling immediately retorted: "No matter how relaxed you are, you will still resist. This is the instinct of the human body."
"Death by suffocation can cause the brain to lose consciousness due to lack of oxygen within a few seconds, and it can strangle an unconscious person to death within 50 seconds. When the deceased is extremely relaxed, put a belt around her neck, circle it twice, and use force -
"Li Zan took another sip of water: "Of course, this kind of situation requires the murderer to be very strong. Being able to dismember the body also shows that he is very strong."
"The murderer and the deceased were acquaintances." Li Zan concluded, and then added: "There was another knife on the deceased's back, which was cut in half, and the spine and ribs were broken."
Zhong Xueru was surprised: "How do you know?"
The upper body parts salvaged in the morning were from the front, and the skin and flesh at the front were still firmly attached. He did not include the knife at that time, nor did he tell it, so Li Zan probably didn't know about it.
"The diameter of the well mouth is 20 centimeters. How can the upper body of the body be stuffed in without splitting it in half?"
"Yes. There are no drug residues in the deceased's stomach or small intestine." Zhong Xueru nodded: "The autopsy report and summary are in the file. I have sent them to you by email."
Li Zan: "Next."
..
hk?Central and Western District.
Early morning.
On Baijia Road, Taipingshan, a black car slowly drove through the wide open iron gate under the bright sky, and turned into the garage of a mid-level villa shrouded in greenery. The car door opened, one foot landed first, wearing casual leather shoes, revealing a
Cutting off the pale ankles, there is a straight tube of suit pants that wraps up the long legs.
Dude.
The ordinary rosewood cane landed on the ground. The person in the car got out of the car, picked up the cane, and walked into the villa holding a large bouquet of red roses from the passenger seat.
He freed his right hand to press the doorbell three times. The door opened quickly. Behind the door was a foreign woman with black hair and green eyes, delicate features, and traces of time in the corners of her eyes.
"Ms. Liang, happy birthday."
"Thank you." Liang Gui took the rose bouquet and hugged the visitor: "When will you be back?"
"Yesterday's flight." The visitor entered the room, put down his cane, took off his hat and scarf hanging on the hanger in the entrance, and raised his head, revealing his cold white complexion and deep and beautiful facial features. "I didn't have time to inform you, but later I thought you should take a rest.
I won’t bother you if you do.”
Jiang Heng smiled: "Fortunately, I made it in time. If you didn't miss it, I should be the first to wish you well."
Liang Gui put the bouquet of roses into the vase and greeted him: "Every year on my birthday, you can get the first one. There used to be..." After a pause, she stopped her conversation in time and said calmly: "Come with me."
I’ll eat a bowl of longevity noodles.”
Jiang Heng pretended not to hear, pulled out a chair and sat down: "I have always missed your cooking skills."
Liang Gui laughed easily at this sentence. As a mother, she can always be pleased by her children's lame lies.
Liang Gui is the widow of a wealthy man, 49 years old, of mixed Chinese and English descent. She lived in mainland China as a child, moved to Hong Kong Island as a girl to complete her studies, then got married and had children, and has settled there ever since.
She is Jiang Heng's biological mother, but Jiang Heng was taken away when he was born and rarely gets together with her.
Liang Gui brought two bowls of longevity noodles, one bowl was placed in front of Jiang Heng, and the other was held in his hand, and asked gently: "Where have you been living recently?"
"pasture."
He has been serving the ancestors of cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks for the past six months.
"You know I don't have much work."
Jiang Heng, born in the year 29, is an unemployed vagrant. Relying on his abundant inheritance and the management of countless funds, he can probably squander it day by day for dozens of lifetimes.
"Will you go back next?"
"No." Jiang Heng finished a small bowl of longevity noodles in a few mouthfuls, put down his chopsticks and said, "Next, I'm going to Yuejiang City."
