The morning in S city is quiet, there is no busy traffic, no one is making noise, everything is quiet.
If City S at noon is a white-collar beauty, and City S at night is more like a fashion supermodel, then City S in the morning is a gentle village girl walking through the rainy alley holding a floral paper umbrella, shy and pure.
S City is one of the most economically developed first-tier cities in China. Many people have longed for this coastal city. Every year, countless people come to and leave S City. Everyone's arrival and departure are...
He has his own reasons, and for Xu Lang, no matter what he has experienced or how many places he has been to, S City is still the hometown that is most difficult for him to let go.
"ah......"
An exclamation suddenly came from Xu Lang's office. Immediately, Xu Lang, who had been sleeping on the chair all night, suddenly opened his eyes and sat upright. He was sweating profusely and looked around, as if he was looking for someone.
what.
"Click."
The door of the office was pushed open from the outside. Lai Pi held the door handle with one hand and put the other on his waist, looking at Xu Lang with a vigilant and doubtful expression.
When Lai Pi saw Xu Lang sweating profusely and looking like a drowned rat, Lai Pi first breathed a sigh of relief and then asked: "Brother Lang, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing Lai Pi's voice, Xu Lang's originally chaotic eyes gradually became clear. He looked at Lai Pi who looked confused, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just had a nightmare."
"Nightmare?"
Hearing this, Lai Pi became more and more confused. From the time CSY was officially established, he came to CSY. Although CSY was not established for a long time and we did not solve many cases together, Lai Pi was still more or less interested in Xu Lang.
Some understanding.
Lai Pi is not a talkative person. Many times, Lai Pi is like a transparent person and rarely attracts people's attention. However, this does not mean that Lai Pi is a fool. He can be transferred here from all over the country to establish a CSY.
Everyone in the criminal investigation team is not a vegetarian. Here, Lai Pi discovered the superb autopsy skills of forensic doctor Qin Mingyue, and also discovered Fan Yang, who seemed to be a beauty. When working, his keen observation skills, and of course,
There is Lu Xing's superb computer technology, a little girl who looks like a little loli but is actually full of violence in her heart, and Ding Haoqiong's psychological tactics that can see through people's hearts. The most important thing is that Lai Pi discovered Xu Lang.
It's very interesting. Not only does his mind work very fast, but many times his ideas are also wild and unconstrained. At first, it makes people feel confused. However, in hindsight, it is discovered that Xu Lang's innate love for criminals
The keen intuition about sex is very enviable.
But now, Xu Lang was acting like this because he had a nightmare, which made Lai Pi very curious about what kind of nightmare Xu Lang had that made Xu Lang look like this.
However, looking at Xu Lang's look, he had no intention of saying anything, so Lai Pi suppressed this question in his heart and turned around to go out.
Xu Lang's clothes were soaked. He sat on the chair, rubbing his eyebrows with his hands, thinking about the nightmare he had just had.
It is said to be a nightmare, but it is not actually a nightmare. There were no rotting corpses, no harsh gunshots, and no family members and friends of Xu Lang's death. There was only darkness. Xu Lang felt like he was being wrapped in a ball.
Darkness surrounded him, with no light or exit in sight, and in the darkness, Xu Lang always felt like a pair of eyes were staring at him.
Xu Lang kept looking around in his dream, trying to find the owner of these eyes. However, Xu Lang turned around and around and found nothing. Just when Xu Lang felt tired, he was ready to take a rest.
At that moment, a pair of eyes suddenly appeared behind Xu Lang, and Xu Lang immediately turned his head and faced each other. Xu Lang saw a pair of eyes full of ridicule and sneer. The eyes were very playful, and those eyes
Xu Lang knows eyes and has seen them before. Eight years ago, when Xu Lang rushed to the scene of Lu Jianwei's suicide, he saw the eyes that were not closed for a while. At that time, Lu Jianwei's eyes looked like this,
Full of ridicule and endless sneers towards the world, it left a deep impression on Xu Lang at the time.
Xu Lang didn't expect that after eight years, he would see these eyes in his dream, which made Xu Lang very confused.
After rubbing his temples for a while, Xu Lang woke up completely. He went to the bathroom and washed his face with cold water. When the cold water splashed on his cheeks, Xu Lang raised his head and looked at his embarrassed appearance in the mirror. Xu Lang couldn't help but feel
Two wry smiles, is this the dream that comes from the heart?
Xu Lang walked out of the bathroom and came to the office area. He found that everyone had already gotten up. When they saw Xu Lang coming out, they all said hello.
Xu Lang didn't exchange any pleasantries with them, and said directly to Lai Pi: "Contact your comrades in the Public Security Bureau to check the relevant information about Shen Kevin."
"Kevin Shen?"
Lai Pi looked at Xu Lang with some confusion. Obviously, he was still a little unfamiliar with this name.
Seeing Lai Pi like this, Xu Lang explained: "Shen Kaiwen and Zhang Jinzhong once represented Sun Qihang in his car accident case. Moreover, he and Lu Jianwei were classmates eight years ago and they were childhood friends. Go and investigate."
Hearing what Xu Lang said, Lai Pi nodded, turned around and left without saying anything.
After Fan Yang saw Xu Lang, he stood up from his workstation, picked up a document, walked to Xu Lang, and handed it to Xu Lang.
After Xu Lang took it, he glanced at Fan Yang doubtfully and asked, "What is it?"
"Comparison of shoe prints on site."
Hearing what Fan Yang said, Xu Lang quickly picked up the documents and read through them carefully. When Fan Yang and the others were investigating the basement of the unfinished building, they did find three sets of shoe prints at the scene, one of which was barefoot.
After comparison, Yang found that the footprint was indeed Zhang Jinzhong's, and the other relatively complete leather shoe print was also Zhang Jinzhong's, because Fan Yang and the others found Zhang Jinzhong's leather shoes at the scene. After comparing the patterns on the soles, they finally determined that the complete leather shoe print was Zhang Jinzhong's.
The leather shoe prints belong to Zhang Jinzhong, and there are no clues about the other set of shoe prints that have been stepped on repeatedly.
Although the shoe prints were rubbed, due to repeated treading, they were no longer valuable for extraction and comparison. Fan Yang did not give up, and after careful comparison after staying up all night, he still did not find many useful clues, so he could only
It is certain that this shoe print was left by a man, who is about 1.75 meters tall and weighs about 130 kilograms.
After seeing the comparison results of shoe prints, Xu Lang frowned.
This is different from Xu Lang's previous guess that there were three people at the scene. In the basement of the unfinished building, before the police arrived, there were only two people at the scene. One of them was Zhang Jinzhong. So, the other one should be the person who kidnapped Zhang Jinzhong. From this point of view,
, there should be only one murderer.
Of course, this is just a preliminary speculation. In fact, it is not yet completely certain how many murderers there are.
After reading the comparison results of the shoe prints, Xu Lang raised his head and looked at Fan Yang and asked, "Were there any useful clues found at the scene?"
Fan Yang nodded, took out another report and handed it to Xu Lang and said, "I found a fingerprint among the many exhibits."
"Is it from Zhang Jinzhong?" Xu Lang took the document, looked at it, and asked.
Fan Yang shook his head and said, "No, it belongs to another person."
"Whose is it? Is it in the fingerprint archive?" Xu Lang asked casually.
"have."
Hearing Fan Yang say yes, Xu Lang suddenly raised his head, looked at Fan Yang and asked, "Whose is it?"
Fan Yang looked at Xu Lang with complex and strange eyes and said, "It belongs to Lu Jianwei."
"What? This is impossible."
Xu Lang suddenly raised his voice and said.
Others who were working, when they heard the movement from Xu Lang's side, raised their heads and looked at Xu Lang and Fan Yang.
Fan Yang also smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "At first, I didn't believe this fact, but after I extracted the fingerprint, I compared it to the fingerprint database and found that the owner of the fingerprint was Lu Jianwei's."
After hearing this, Xu Lang leaned on a desk, frowning and lost in thought.
Isn’t Lu Jianwei dead?
As soon as this idea appeared in Xu Lang's mind, Xu Lang shook his head and rejected it. Lu Jianwei died eight years ago. This is a certainty. Moreover, Lu Jianwei's body was dissected by the forensic doctor Ye Xuefei and was finally sent to the hospital.
There were sparks in the crematorium. How could a person who had been dead for eight years and whose body was burned to ashes still be alive?
Does Lu Jianwei have a twin brother?
Thinking of this, Xu Lang raised his head, looked at Fan Yang and asked: "You specialize in trace inspection. Do you think it was left by Lu Jianwei's twin brother?"
Fan Yang shook his head and said: "Identical twins may have the same DNA, but their fingerprints are not. Someone once said that there are no two identical leaves in this world. The same is true for fingerprints. Everyone's fingerprints
They are all different, even identical twins."
Fan Yang's words broke Xu Lang's guess. The fingerprints were not left by Lu Jianwei's twin brothers. In fact, Xu Lang also knew that Lu Jianwei had no twin brothers at all. He was the only child in his family. When Lu Jianwei committed the crime, his
His parents have passed away, and he has not married or had children. He is completely alone. If Lu Jianwei had a twin brother, he would have found out eight years ago.
If so, what is going on?
A man who has been dead for eight years, but his fingerprints appear inexplicably in the basement of a unfinished building. What is going on?
"Where were the fingerprints extracted?" Xu Lang asked again.
"I found it in an old newspaper."
"When's the newspaper?"
"I found it in the newspaper where Zhang Jinzhong represented Sun Qihang in the car accident case ten years ago."
As soon as Fan Yang said this, Xu Lang suddenly narrowed his eyes again. Lu Jianwei's fingerprints were found in newspapers ten years ago, and Lu Jianwei died eight years ago. Could it be said that the murderer who kidnapped Zhang Jinzhong had hidden it secretly?
Could it be that I picked up a newspaper that Lu Jianwei read eight years ago?
It seems that only this possibility can explain it.
If this is really the case, then the person who kidnapped Zhang Jinzhong probably knew Lu Jianwei. Thinking of this, Xu Lang thought of Shen Kaiwen. After all, Shen Kaiwen and Lu Jianwei were friends and classmates, so they were still good friends. My friend, ten years ago, the relationship between the two people had not broken down, and they still communicated occasionally. It was not surprising that Shen Kaiwen had newspapers that Zhang Jinzhong had read. However, the question came again, why did Shen Kaiwen keep that? Where is the newspaper? And he has been here for ten years. Does Shen Kaiwen have the habit of collecting old newspapers?
Xu Lang shook his head, expressing that he couldn't figure it out.
The appearance of Lu Jianwei's fingerprint once again brought more doubts and supernatural overtones to this already complicated case.
————
Just when Xu Lang was puzzled that Lu Jianwei's fingerprints appeared in the basement of an unfinished building, Qin Mingyue, who looked tired, walked out of the forensic room, came to Xu Lang, and said: "The autopsy results are out. "
"Any clues?" Xu Lang suppressed the matter of Lu Jianwei's fingerprints for the time being, raised his head and asked.
Qin Mingyue did not speak, but turned and walked towards the anatomy room. Xu Lang and Fan Yang quickly followed behind him and came to the anatomy room together.
After arriving at the dissection room, Xu Lang saw Zhang Jinzhong's body lying quietly on the cold dissection table. Qin Mingyue stood next to the dissection table. He pointed at the 'punishment' symbol on Zhang Jinzhong's chest and said: "This character It was left when Zhang Jinzhong was still alive."
"Left alive?"
Xu Lang frowned, looked at Zhang Jinzhong's chest, then raised his head and looked at Qin Mingyue and asked, "What was the cause of Zhang Jinzhong's death?"
"Death from shock due to excessive bleeding."
Xu Lang glanced at Qin Mingyue, then at Zhang Jinzhong's bloody chest, and said, "You mean, the murderer died due to excessive bleeding when he was carving words on Zhang Jinzhong's body?"
Qin Mingyue nodded.
Xu Lang's face suddenly became solemn. He found a large number of restraint wounds and abrasions on Zhang Jinzhong's limbs. It should be that the murderer fixed Zhang Jinzhong in a special place, and then used a sharp weapon on Zhang Jinzhong's chest. The knife cut through the skin one by one, carving the character 'punishment'.
"Have any anesthetic ingredients been found in his body?" Xu Lang asked.
Qin Mingyue shook her head and said, "No."
"How painful this is." Fan Yang said from the side at this time.
Qin Mingyue glanced at Fan Yang, then nodded and said, "Even if Zhang Jinzhong didn't die from excessive blood loss, he would have been painfully injured to death. When the murderer was carving the words, he cut the knife very hard and penetrated the bottom layer of the skin. , However, this murderer should have a very good understanding of the human body. Although every knife he made was very deep, it did not damage any of his organs. This not only requires a thorough understanding of the human body, but also his hands are very deep. Stable and very focused.”
Hearing what Qin Mingyue said, Xu Lang squinted his eyes, looked at Qin Mingyue and said, "You mean, the murderer of Zhang Jinzhong might be a doctor?"
Qin Mingyue did not nod, but said: "Judging from the wounds on the corpse, apart from doctors who operate on patients and forensic doctors, it is difficult for me to imagine who else can have such good technology. "
Hearing this, Xu Lang's brows furrowed into a Sichuan shape.
Judging from the current investigation data, the two people most suspected of killing Zhang Jinzhong are Wang Wenruo and Shen Kaiwen. However, Wang Wenruo has served time in prison. He has not been engaged in the profession of doctor. Moreover, he was released not long ago and is in prison. Inside, it is impossible for Wang Wenruo to come into contact with these things. Whether he is a forensic scientist or a doctor, he needs scalpels and other tools when performing operations, and these things are impossible to appear in prison.
As for Shen Kaiwen, according to previous information, Shen Kaiwen is a lawyer. Lawyers have clerical jobs. They rely most on words. It is impossible to know the human body so well. Could it be said that these two suspects were not the ones who killed Zhang Jinzhong? The biggest person, but who else?
"Are there any other clues?" Xu Lang asked after pondering for a moment.
"Yes, Zhang Jinzhong's fingerprints on his left hand were also peeled off." Qin Mingyue said slowly.
Xu Lang was stunned for a moment, and then became even more confused.
If the murderer carved the symbol of "punishment" on Zhang Jinzhong's chest to tell the police that the punisher was back, and by doing so, he left a murder mark on the victim's body, then why did the murderer peel off Zhang Jinzhong's left hand? What about the fingerprints? What does he want these fingerprints for? Is it for collection?
This possibility is not impossible. Some psychopathic murderers do have the habit of collecting certain parts of the victims' bodies, especially those who specifically target women. They will collect women's breasts, vagina, and other sensitive parts. They also have some hobbies and fetishes. They like to collect the murderer's fingers, legs or other organs. However, Xu Lang has never heard of anyone who likes to collect fingerprints. What does the murderer want to do?
Thinking of this, Xu Lang suddenly remembered something.
He turned his head, looked at Fan Yang and asked: "By the way, you checked the basement of the unfinished building. Did you find the missing fingerprint skin on Zhang Jinzhong's right hand?"
Fan Yang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, we inspected the scene in detail and found no skin tissue."
Hearing this, Xu Lang seemed to have thought of something, so he looked at Qin Mingyue and asked: "Where is Sun Qihang's body?"
"over there."
Qin Mingyue pointed to an autopsy table in the distance. There was a corpse on the autopsy table.
Xu Lang hurriedly walked over and came to Sun Qihang's body. He directly took Sun Qihang's right hand and looked at it. The fingerprints on Sun Qihang's right hand were also missing and the skin was peeled off. Xu Lang quickly walked around the dissecting table. On the other side, I picked up Sun Qihang's left hand and saw that the fingerprints and skin on his left hand had also been removed.
After receiving this result, Xu Lang slowly put down Sun Qihang's left hand and had a guess in his mind.
The murderer took off the fingerprints and skin of Zhang Jinzhong and Sun Qihang. It was definitely not for fun, it must have a purpose. So what was the purpose? Xu Lang fell into deep thought.
