The green grass lingers and rises and falls with the waves.
The grass was blown low by the wind, and the rotten white corpse trembled from time to time under the sunlight. When I got closer, I discovered that it was maggots hiding.
"The time of death was more than 10 days." Jiang Yuan came to the scene, first observed the appearance of the corpse, and first came to a conclusion.
"It's not far from the death time of the two previous corpses." Shen Feihong, captain of the Qinghe City Criminal Police Detachment, was waiting for Jiang Yuan at the scene.
Speaking of which, he was half of Jiang Yuan's superior. But because Huang Qiangmin stood between him, Shen Feihong was always more polite.
However, after all, the Criminal Police Detachment is the most front-line unit. There were three consecutive murder cases, and there were certain similarities. Shen Feihong didn't need anyone to remind him. He immediately associated them with each other.
"Indeed." Jiang Yuan nodded slowly, then broke open the body on the spot and looked at a few fractures.
The fractures with carrion were not as obvious as the pure bones, and they needed to be looked at for a longer time. Jiang Yuan squatted next to the corpse, and his legs and feet soon felt numb.
The soft mud along the river is not only easy to leave traces, but also makes the police more uncomfortable.
The head of the corpse was cut off, and ten fingers and toes were also cut off.
Jiang Yuan looked at them one by one, and after spending a lot of time, he turned around and shouted: "Here are two people, lift me up, my feet are numb."
Mu Zhiyang, who had stayed away from the scene in order not to damage the scene, quickly ran up and, together with a trace examiner next to him, carried Jiang Yuan from the body to Shen Feihong in the back.
Jiang Yuan was tall and long-legged, and was carried by two people. The contrast was so strong that Shen Feihong smiled unconsciously.
In an instant, Shen Feihong realized that he was at a crime scene and quickly lowered his head and put on a mask.
"How is it?" Shen Feihong looked at Jiang Yuan expectantly.
Jiang Yuan moved his hands and feet and said: "It is definitely done by the same person and cut with the same knife."
"Hey...kill three people in a row?" Shen Feihong thought of a lot at once.
"It takes almost three days to kill one person." Jiang Yuan replied.
Shen Feihong was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"The death times of the three corpses, as of today, are 12 days, 15 days, and 18 days ago, which are exactly three days apart." Jiang Yuan also gave as much information as possible.
However, the level of information Jiang Yuan gave was far beyond Shen Feihong's expectations.
As an old detective, Shen Feihong looked at Jiang Yuan with more surprise than when he saw the corpse. In his heart, for a moment, Shen Feihong even suspected that Jiang Yuan had killed him.
The time given is too accurate!
Fortunately, there are people around Jiang Yuan every day.
Shen Feihong's mind was racing, and he suddenly thought of the problem of the same knife that Jiang Yuan just mentioned, and asked again: "The same murderer, don't they change their knives?"
Killing people will blunt the sword. This is a truth that many modern people don't understand. It's like the old storytelling or martial arts novels, which always liked to give the protagonist a magic weapon. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to kill from the street to the end of the street.
Jiang Yuan was also very concerned about this matter and nodded: "It should be a sharp blade similar to a chef's knife, which has been sharpened. There are probing wounds near the victim's wound. Logically speaking, the victim should be controlled Live, and then be killed and dismembered accurately."
"Chef? However, there are almost no chefs in Qinghe who use chef's knives." Shen Feihong said as he thought, thinking quickly and speaking even faster: "By the way, why is it in Qinghe? In Qinghe City, we usually There is no big case, let alone a guy like this who killed three people in one go. He is a serial killer..."
Jiang Yuan had handled a lot of cases in Qinghe City, but his contact with Shen Feihong was mainly a superior-subordinate relationship. However, listening to Shen Feihong's words, he couldn't help but said softly: "Jianyuan Pharmaceutical."
Shen Feihong was suddenly speechless.
Jianyuan Pharmaceutical is a big drug lord, and they have committed countless crimes. If you break them down, they are worth thousands of death sentences. Jianyuan Pharmaceutical used to be a pillar enterprise in Qinghe City.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with saying that the public security environment in Qinghe City used to be excellent. This is like having a nest of snakes entrenched in your house, and there should be no mice in the room.
"Shen Zhi, I will transport the body back to Ningtai County and handle the case?" Jiang Yuan asked Shen Feihong.
Shen Feihong nodded without thinking much and said: "Pull it back. Do you want to keep the scene?"
"After collecting the body, I will conduct on-site investigation." Jiang Yuan said and changed into gloves and other items.
Logically speaking, Ningtai County is a county under the jurisdiction of Qinghe City, and murder cases are found in both places. The normal approach is for the Qinghe City Bureau to escalate management and let the Qinghe City Criminal Police Detachment handle the detection and management. However, there is no certain certainty about this. Some prefecture-level cities focus on guidance, and almost all front-line business is left to the district and county police, so naturally there is no jurisdictional issue.
In Qinghe City, although the criminal police detachment is doing business, it would be a bit boring to take away the cases that Jiang Yuan is responsible for. Apart from anything else, the trace inspection team in Qinghe City is currently doing cases that require investigation from time to time. Send fingerprints to Jiang Yuan for comparison.
Wang Lan, Miao Ruixiang, Jiang Yuan, and two criminal police officers worked together to put the body into a body bag.
The body without a head has significantly reduced in weight. In addition to the factor of decay, Jiang Yuan estimated that the female victim should have weighed less than 100 kilograms during her lifetime. Of course, this estimate is not very accurate, because the human head There is no scientific conclusion as to how heavy it is, or even how much it weighs on average.
Including forensic doctors, no one collects a large number of corpses and then removes the heads to weigh them evenly. Because it is useless to weigh them. What everyone is more concerned about is the fresh weight of the heads, and most of the corpses that forensic doctors can obtain have lost water. serious.
However, there is a saying in the medical community that the head weighs seven and a half pounds, but the origin is a mystery.
Jiang Yuan watched the body get into the car and began to investigate the scene bit by bit.
He did not go to the scene of the first two corpses. The scene of the first corpse was handled by the local criminal police. The second corpse... there were only five fingers in total, so it couldn't be said to be a scene.
As for here...
Jiang Yuan walked around in rubber shoes and just sighed: "The corpses came up."
What rushes forward is the second or even third scene. The amount of information in this scene is much less than that in the first scene.
Jiang Yuan thought while watching, and it took him less than 20 minutes to walk out of the cordon.
"How is it?" Shen Feihong asked expectantly.
"Call Liu Chu here. He absolutely likes this case." After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he added: "As for corpse No. 3, I plan to try forensic botany and determine the specific place where it fell into the water first."
Shen Feihong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "Forensic botany should be able to accurately determine where the victim fell into the water, right? Then if the time of death is relatively certain, then if we search for surveillance or technical investigation... the murderer You must have never thought that we could accurately determine where we fell into the water..."
The same technique did not have much effect when used on Case No. 2 with five severed fingers. The murderer obviously paid special attention to hiding himself.
In contrast, using forensic botany to determine the point of falling water is a flaw that is difficult for the murderer to realize.
From this point of view, forensic botany is like a new weapon put on the battlefield, and opponents have to pay a price to understand it and avoid it.
Shen Feihong felt that something was going on, his thoughts were whirling, and he spoke quickly: "In this case, the murderer killed three people in a short period of time, and they all used very professional methods. It really needs to be paid special attention to, and new technologies and new methods are used. This idea is very good... …”
"For comparison, we need to take samples every 50 meters along the upper reaches of the Taihe River where the body was found..." General Jiang Yuan repeated what he told the leaders of Qingshi City.
It is Jiang Yuan's established plan to create a database of related plants in Taiwan and Hanoi. It is just a matter of sooner or later.
But Shen Feihong felt his heart go cold after hearing this.
Jianyuan Pharmaceutical is gone, and the Qinghe Municipal Bureau is already living a hard life...
"Call Qiao Shengli." Jiang Yuan turned to Wang Chuanxing and said, seemingly acquiescing that Shen Feihong would agree.
Of course, if we really want to carry out this project, it must be approved by Shen Feihong. Even if Shen Feihong agrees, it will be useless. The director must even hold a small meeting to decide.
But how could Shen Feihong refuse?
"Didn't the previous fingerprints reveal the identity of a victim? If we follow that victim, will there be any results?" Shen Feihong changed his mind as quickly as possible.
Jiang Yuan mused: "We are also investigating the victim's interpersonal relationships and the trajectory of his actions that day, but there are no results for the time being. Currently, of these three victims, we only know the identity of one victim. If we continue to investigate, If you can find out a person's identity, you can make cross comparisons and look for correlations..."
Shen Feihong: "Generally speaking..."
At this time, Huang Qiangmin came over and said in penetrating language: "Shen Zhi, Taihe's database will always be built. Build it early and enjoy it early."
"Will it cost less to build later?" Shen Feihong was helpless.
"If there is no murder case, the construction will be delayed." Huang Qiangmin spread his hands.
