If the sewer is the dirtiest place in a city, then the basement and rooftop are the dirtiest places in a corporate office building.
From the outside, the office building of Life Newspaper looked so bright and beautiful. However, when Xu Lang and the others came to the top of the building, what they saw was dirty and messy. There was a thick layer of dust accumulated on the ground on the top of the building.
, it seems that no one has cleaned it for a long time, and there are some construction waste scattered everywhere, as well as some discarded office supplies. Of course, there are also some domestic waste, such as fast food boxes, snack packaging bags, and
There are various brands of cigarette butts.
Of course, these things had no appeal at all to Xu Lang. When he came to the top of the building and walked out of the door, the first thing he saw was a huge number five directly opposite, near the rooftop.
Today, the sun is shining brightly, there is no cloud in the sky, there is no wind, the temperature is suitable, it is a day suitable for basking in the sun.
There was no smell of blood that often occurs at murder scenes, and the air was even very fresh. Xu Lang lowered his head and glanced at the ground leading to the number five. The ground was full of footprints, and thick dust was kicked everywhere.
Some of the footprints were overlapping and had no extraction value at all. Seeing this, Xu Lang frowned subconsciously, turned his head and looked at Wang Guofu.
When Xu Lang looked at him like this, Wang Guofu smiled awkwardly, and then hurriedly explained: "When we rushed to the scene, this place was already like this. These footprints were stepped on by people from the Life Newspaper. We were sealing -
After locking the scene, I felt that since the scene had been destroyed, so..."
"So, you asked people to carry out secondary destruction?" Xu Lang said coldly.
Wang Guofu looked at Xu Lang's gloomy face and opened his mouth to defend himself. However, Xu Lang didn't give him a chance and walked straight in the direction of the corpse.
The scene had been damaged many times, and the footprints and the like were definitely of no value to be extracted, so Xu Lang walked straight to the body without wearing shoe covers.
Just now, I didn't smell the smell of blood. Now, as Xu Lang got closer, the smell of blood suddenly appeared. As Xu Lang got closer step by step, the smell of blood became stronger and stronger.
When Xu Lang came to the body and took one look at it, he couldn't help but gasp.
This time, Sun Wenyao left a huge symbol of the number five. Different from the symbols left with blood or gestures in previous cases, this time, he left the symbol with the body of the deceased.
This is the body of a man. The body has been dismembered. The head and limbs have been neatly cut open. The wounds are very smooth, and no bones have been injured. It is obvious at a glance that the assailant is a human structure.
Someone who understands very well.
One of the deceased's arms was placed on top, forming a horizontal line above the 5, with the arm and neck level; the other arm was placed on the abdomen, and the deceased's torso formed a vertical line of the 5, while the second
The arms formed the second horizontal line; the deceased's left thigh was placed vertically next to the second arm, while the deceased's right thigh was placed next to the left thigh. In this way, the number five appeared in front of Xu Lang's eyes.
There were bloodstains everywhere on the ground, and Xu Lang even saw some pieces of meat. It should be the traces left by the murderer when he cut up the body or dragged the body parts. What made Xu Lang feel a little confused was that,
He did not see the deceased's head on this symbol, so Xu Lang looked to the side.
Not far from this huge symbol, Xu Lang saw his name. It was written in blood. The handwriting was very large, almost as big as the symbol. The blood had dried and merged with the surrounding dust, turning into
It was dark brown, and some places were covered with dust, but Xu Lang could still recognize his name. Behind his name, there was a big exclamation mark, and his face was distorted and extremely ferocious, with protruding eyeballs and a mouth.
Da Zhang, the point where the head is expanded to the limit of human beings becomes an exclamation mark.
Even if you don't look at the dismembered corpse, just by looking at this head and his expression before death, you can imagine what kind of pain the deceased went through before death.
The situation at the scene was simply more bloody than the scenes in horror movies, and it also had more visual impact.
Xu Lang stood between the number 5 made up of the corpses of the deceased and his own name. His face was gloomy and his expression was solemn. A strong anger rose from his body. Everyone at the scene could clearly feel it.
, this angry momentum.
While Xu Lang was observing the body, forensic doctor Qin Mingyue and his assistant Ren Xue were already wearing gloves and holding tools to conduct preliminary autopsy work on the body parts, while Fan Yang and the others also began to go about their own business and carry out relevant investigation work.
"vomit......"
Just when Xu Lang was lamenting the murderer's cruel means of committing the crime, Qin Mingyue's assistant Ren Xue suddenly stood up, covered his mouth with one hand, and ran quickly to the corner. After running over, he started to retching.
.
The sound of Ren Xue's retching immediately caught Xu Lang's attention, causing him to snap out of his reverie.
Xu Lang turned his head, looked at Ren Xue, frowned, then turned his head, looked at Qin Mingyue and asked, "Is she okay?"
Hearing Xu Lang's question, Qin Mingyue just tilted her head slightly, glanced at Ren Xue from the corner of her eye, then withdrew her gaze and continued the autopsy work. While continuing the work at hand, she said lightly
Said: "If she wants to become a qualified forensic doctor, if she can't bear even this little thing, then it is impossible for her to become a qualified forensic doctor. Even if she becomes a forensic doctor, she will only become a laughing stock in the forensic field.
.”
Hearing this, Xu Lang suddenly had black lines on his face and became speechless.
Xu Lang doesn't have much say in the profession of forensic medicine, but he knows one thing, that is, it is difficult to carry out the investigation of any case without the help of forensic medicine, and if he wants to become a
Forensic doctors are not as simple as picking up a scalpel. In addition to professional knowledge and professional skills, they also need to have strong psychological qualities. After all, not every corpse is intact when it is discovered.
At one point, the deceased was discovered by the police not long after he was killed; at some point, the deceased was discovered some time after his death, rigor mortis appeared, and corruption occurred. These situations are very important to forensic doctors.
All are considered the best. Once the corpse appears giant, or becomes more serious, or is brutally dismembered, broken into pieces, or destroyed, it will give the forensic doctor a headache. Of course, the forensic doctor will have a headache the most.
The headache is still in those cases where the muscle tissue of the corpse has been completely rotted for a long time, leaving only a white skeleton. It is very difficult to find some clues on these corpses, but now, the corpse in front of me is already relatively small.
Okay, except for the visual impact, everything else is fine. At least, it is not corrupt.
Everyone who can become a forensic doctor, or wants to become a forensic doctor, has a very strong psychological quality. For example, Ye Xuefei can sleep on the autopsy table, face decayed corpses, and eat fresh food.
, such as Qin Mingyue, he can look at the corpses, touch them gently, and feel that they are a work of art, and they are different from everyone else. They spend far more time with the dead than with the living.
, Dead people don’t lie, but living people do. Therefore, many people who are engaged in forensic medicine have indifferent personalities after all. The same is true for the forensic doctors who work with Xu Lang, whether it is Ye Xuefei or Qin Mingyue.
Ren Xue has always wanted to be a forensic doctor. The idea of a forensic doctor like Ye Xuefei is good, but there is still a long distance between ideal and reality. At the very least, she needs to do it. After seeing the corpse, she will not
Vomiting occurs, this is the most basic quality of a forensic doctor.
Forensic medicine is a profession that is often misunderstood by people, and it is also a profession that makes people feel afraid, just like being a forensic expert. Of course, the latter is still more envied by others.
Just when Xu Lang was thinking wildly, Qin Mingyue said without warning: "Judging from the wounds of the deceased, the deceased was dismembered. The murderer's method of committing the crime was very clean and neat. The wounds were smooth and no bones were injured.
I have a very good understanding of the structure of the human body.”
Hearing what Qin Mingyue said, Xu Lang rolled his eyes.
Nonsense, he is not blind. Although he is not a forensic doctor, he took one look at the situation at the scene and knew that it was all nonsense. However, Qin Mingyue's next words made Xu Lang's hair stand on end.
"If my judgment is correct, the deceased was dismembered while he was still alive."
"hiss......"
Xu Lang suddenly took a breath of cold air.
In homicide cases, the murderer chooses to dismember the body after killing the person. This is not uncommon, but it is very common.
After most murderers kill someone, they will damage the body for various purposes. They do this mainly to avoid legal punishment and prevent anyone from discovering the fact that the deceased was murdered. Of course, there are also a small number of murderers who
Choosing to dismember a corpse is mostly to vent anger or satisfy one's own abnormal psychological needs. However, in most corpse dismemberment cases, the murderer dismembers and dismembers the corpse when the deceased is already dead.
Very few people do this while the deceased is still alive.
To dismember a person while he or she is alive, first of all, it requires a strong psychological quality, secondly, a certain knowledge of anatomy, and finally, a certain degree of physical fitness. No matter which one it is, it is not easily achieved. After all,
Whether they are victims or perpetrators, they are all human beings. Killing a person requires courage, but dismembering a living person requires even more courage. Humans are not animals. It is not as simple as killing pigs and sheep. When humans are in dangerous situations,
It is impossible for them to be slaughtered like fish on a sticky board. They will definitely fight to the death, and this requires the perpetrator to have a strong physical fitness.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang thought of something and had a question in his mind.
Sun Wenyao is already an old man in his sixties. Although Sun Wenyao is a man with excellent anatomy knowledge and skills, no matter what, he is already in his sixties, and his physical fitness is definitely not the same as that of a young man.
For example, it is difficult to dissect a corpse without the help of outsiders and professional tools. Even if it can be done, it will take a long time. After dismembering a corpse, the body will definitely be unable to bear it, and it will be dismembered alive.
A person needs these conditions even more. Can Sun Wenyao really achieve it?
Could it be that Sun Wenyao was not responsible for this case, or that Sun Wenyao was not the only person involved in this dismemberment activity, but there were also others.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang thought of the surveillance video he saw in the parking lot of the Hengda Building in the Zou Renjiang case. At that time, Sun Wenyao appeared in the surveillance video. This was certain, but there was another person beside him.
, and this
Who is this person? After the Zou Renjiang case was concluded, Xu Lang and the others still did not investigate clearly. So, could this person be involved in this operation? Xu Lang didn't know.
"Can the time of death of the deceased be determined?" Xu Lang came back to his senses and asked.
Qin Mingyue was holding one of the deceased's arms to look at it again. He pointed the wound on the arm at himself and looked at it carefully. When he heard Xu Lang asked, Qin Mingyue nodded, shook his head and said: "For the time being, it's just
Can you give me an approximate time?"
"What is the estimated time of death?"
"It was around 11pm to 5am last night," Qin Mingyue said in an indifferent tone.
Xu Lang frowned, looked at Qin Mingyue's profile, and asked, "Why is there so much time span?"
Qin Mingyue raised her head, looked at Xu Lang, rolled her eyes, and said: "The environment at the scene is very unsatisfactory. I have to consider a lot of things. Besides, I only conducted a preliminary autopsy and can give you a six-hour diagnosis."
It’s been a good time.”
Seeing Qin Mingyue's reaction, Xu Lang touched his nose in embarrassment, smiled coquettishly, and said nothing more.
Qin Mingyue was right. The scene where the deceased died was on the roof of the building. The scene environment was complicated. Moreover, it was done at night. The temperature at night must be lower than during the day. Xu Lang remembered that the wind was quite strong last night. Such a situation
Now, the situation at the scene is more complicated. Qin Mingyue can give such a guess time, which is already good.
Seeing that Qin Mingyue was still minding her own business in the autopsy, Xu Lang couldn't get involved. Even if he wanted to, he would probably be disliked by Qin Mingyue, just like when Ye Xuefei was here before. What's more, Xu Lang
Lang didn't feel like touching these corpses, not because he was afraid or taboo, but because he really didn't want to. After all, no one wanted to study the bloody corpses, so Xu Lang turned around and looked elsewhere.
Arriving next to Fan Yang, Xu Lang asked, "How is the on-site investigation going?"
Fan Yang shook his head with a solemn expression and said: "This is indeed the scene of the first crime. There is a lot of blood on the scene. However, the scene has been damaged many times and many clues have lost their due value."
After saying this, Fan Yang glanced at Xu Lang's feet.
Xu Lang followed Fan Yang's line of sight and found that his foot happened to step on an incomplete footprint. Xu Lang quickly took a step back and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry."
Fan Yang shook his head and said: "Although I found a lot of shoe prints at the scene, judging from the patterns of the shoe prints, most of them were left by our police. There are also some shoe prints, which should be where the bodies were found and
It was left behind by the reporters who called the police. As for whether there are any shoe prints of the murderer and the deceased, I am not sure."
Hearing this, Xu Lang nodded, and then asked: "Apart from the shoe prints, which are not of much value, what about the fingerprints?"
Under the hopeful look in Xu Lang's eyes, Fan Yang shook his head again and said: "The scene was very chaotic, and a lot of fingerprints were indeed found, but I think the value of comparison is not great, not much, so I still collected the fingerprints and prepared
Let’s take it back and compare and analyze it to see if we can find some clues.”
"Why......"
After saying that, Fan Yang let out a long sigh.
"Besides that, have you discovered anything else?" Xu Lang asked with a frown.
Judging from Fan Yang's words, although the scene was very clear and the deceased must have been murdered, there were still too few evidences and traces left at the scene. In other words, there were some strong evidences and clues, but now they have been artificially removed.
It was damaged, and this damage was not intentional. This is not a good thing for the subsequent police investigation.
"Yes, come with me."
Fan Yang did not disappoint Xu Lang this time. He turned around and led Xu Lang to a platform piled up with several wooden boards and bricks.
After Xu Lang came to the table, he took a look and found nothing unusual. Except for some traces of being rubbed, there was nothing special. So, Xu Lang turned his head and looked at it with confusion.
Fan Yang.
"You squat down in this position."
Fan Yang pointed to the front of the stage and said to Xu Lang.
Although Xu Lang was puzzled, he still did as Fan Yang said. However, after he squatted down, he still didn't see anything unusual.
"Turn around and look over there." Fan Yang reminded.
Xu Lang turned around and looked in the direction of Fan Yang's finger. After just one glance, Xu Lang felt something strange. The scene he saw in front of him had a sense of déjà vu, which made Xu Lang frown subconsciously.
head.
"Does it sound familiar?" Fan Yang asked.
Xu Lang nodded. He looked at it for a while, but still couldn't remember where he had seen a similar scene, so he asked, "What's going on?"
"Remember the speechless video we saw this morning?" Fan Yang reminded.
After Fan Yang reminded him, the picture of the video suddenly appeared in Xu Lang's mind. He looked ahead, and the picture of the video also appeared in front of him. Soon, the two began to overlap, and Xu Lang adjusted slightly.
After changing the position, finally, the two images completely overlapped.
