In the anatomy room, the air was filled with a strange smell, making it difficult to breathe.
Liu Jinghui said it was easy, but he himself found it troublesome.
The task force is even more overwhelmed.
In the murder case of six corpses, inquiries and pressure from superiors never stopped.
If the only two men in white shirts in Qinghe City hadn't personally called the provincial capital, the order to solve the case within a time limit might have been issued.
By that time, everyone in the city bureau will not have to sleep.
The wives can only stay in the empty house alone.
The liver is right.
But, after all, no matter how much fun you spend, you still have to solve the case, right? What can you do if you just keep touching outside?
Normal life cannot be lived by imitating movies.
If in the first two days, the task force was still familiar with the case and searching for clues, then on the fourth or fifth day, no positive news had come through. Leaders who knew a little bit about criminal investigation would know what was going on...
Can’t get hard!
Moreover, it may be a big problem that cannot be cured even by taking medicine.
Otherwise, he would start talking, or at least call for a tourniquet.
Therefore, on the fifth day after the incident, the director also sat in the office of the task force.
For a moment, the expressions of everyone on the task force were distorted.
Comrade Shen Feihong, the captain of the Qinghe City Criminal Police Detachment, finally remembered Liu Jinghui, finally saw off the director, and immediately invited Liu Jinghui to a meeting.
In the smoke-filled conference room, everyone showed sincere and awkward smiles.
Shen Feihong took the initiative to pass the cigarette and said: "Liu Chu, we are stuck now, you have to give us some suggestions."
Liu Jinghui thought to himself, I gave you advice before, but you didn't listen.
Of course, it turned out that the advice he gave before was of no use. However, solving a case means walking in the dark. How can you get what you want if you don't find it until the middle of the night?
Liu Jinghui has been solving crimes outside all year round and has long been accustomed to the different police styles in different places. There are many police leaders with ideas, and they all have a strong desire to control, but some can solve cases and some cannot.
Shen Feihong is not the worst, and he has the ability to solve crimes, but the cases he encounters are too complicated.
If it were a smaller discovered murder case, someone might have solved it themselves.
Looking back, he couldn't see Liu Jinghui in the Xiaodian murder case.
"We can check based on the reservoir first. We should have information about the reservoir's hydrological data and water levels over the years." Liu Jinghui didn't want to be rude and spoke calmly.
Captain Shi from the serious crime team, who was about the same age as him, also lit a cigarette and took a breath, saying: "We invited a hydrology expert. According to him, the water level of the reservoir here has dropped since it was built.
There is nothing as low as this... There is not much research data on the internal water flow. In summary, if the murderer knows how to use the water flow of the reservoir, then he is not only a local, but also has to be proficient in water properties and live near the water.
That kind of thing.”
"But we don't know if the murderer is so understanding." Liu Jinghui said he understood.
Captain Shi nodded: "There is really no way to prove it, but I think it is very possible that the murderer lives and works around the reservoir."
"oh??
"We interviewed eyewitnesses, especially people who like fishing around us. We asked no less than 300 people." Captain Shi emphasized the number and said: "We didn't see a single one, there were no legends, and there was no news."
Finding witnesses is something that can be done in every case, and the effect in this case is supposed to be better.
If such a large body bag is thrown into a reservoir, there will be some movement. If it is too conspicuous during the day, people may also see the body thrown at night.
Moreover, the murderer did not dump the body once.
Captain Shi had raised a similar question in the previous meeting, and now he emphasized it even more: "As the saying goes, if you walk a lot at night, you will always encounter ghosts. There are so many fishermen, but no one listens.
The sound coming into the reservoir shows that the murderer chose a good location, and it is not a location that can be chosen just by looking at it."
"Maybe I was lucky. I threw it there the first time without being discovered, and then I threw it in later." Next to him was another veteran criminal investigator from the Qinghe Bureau. As an opponent, he also opposed using the reservoir as a source of water several times.
Center for search and detection.
This is a typical battle over the direction of criminal investigation. Liu Jinghui has already seen it once, and he still can't make a judgment.
What both of them said was reasonable, especially the old detective at the back. His words sounded like he was making excuses, but in fact, that's not what serial killers are like.
This thing is the same as starting a business. Everyone is betting on something very important, so they must have done what they think is a complete investigation and research beforehand and put it into practice.
Some of the final results are related to strength, and some are related to luck.
Is it possible that a person chose a wrong location and opened a wrong store with wrong cognition. As a result, he made money due to various coincidences?
Too possible.
Is it possible that a murderer chose the wrong place to dump his body due to wrong perceptions and was not found?
It's still very possible.
At this time, the old detective added: "This reservoir is the main reservoir used by nearby residents for drinking and irrigation. There are many residents in the surrounding area who are familiar with it. It is difficult for you to check. On the other hand, everyone has lived here for generations, let alone
Throw the body inside. When we were solving crimes in rural areas, there was no reason for anyone to throw the body into their own well."
"1234 and 56 were found in two areas, which means that the murderer chose two locations. Neither location was found, and the second one was more hidden than the first one. This means that it was not luck or accidental discovery.
The place where the body was dumped." Captain Shi insisted on his point of view.
Liu Jinghui interjected: "Didn't 56 rush over? Have you asked the hydrology expert?"
Captain Shi said: "I asked, and it turns out they either rushed over or found another place to throw it."
Liu Jinghui agreed, and without waiting for Captain Shi to show his joyful expression, he added: "But it doesn't mean that the murderer is someone from around the reservoir. The murderer should know the reservoir, and we all agree on this. I think it should be combined with the two of you.
The idea is that the murderer is not someone from around the reservoir, but knowing the reservoir, there must be many such people."
Captain Shi was silent for a moment and said, "That's too coincidental."
The old detective was also silent, obviously not very agreeing with Liu Jinghui's conclusion. Moreover, from his point of view, there was no way to investigate. He couldn't just ask everyone: Are you familiar with the Baichuan Reservoir in Qinghe?
Ripe?
Liu Jinghui sighed secretly, in fact, the problem of reasoning is like this. Everyone can make inferences based on some facts, but in the process of reasoning, it is not the most probable event, but the truth.
At this time, more evidence is needed to assist.
Or, change the direction of thinking and see if there can be an intersection between the two.
"How is the investigation going on the means of transport?" Liu Jinghui asked.
"We have checked the reservoir's own cars, the staff's cars, and the cars that frequently deliver goods." This time it was Captain Chen who spoke.
"Can you find the ruts by the reservoir and the parking spot?" This was the idea Liu Jinghui proposed last time. The murderer came to the reservoir many times to abandon the body, so there should be a fixed route and parking spot.
It's like a family going camping. Anyone with a little sense of planning will consider the route and parking space.
People who go out to dispose of corpses should be more planned than taking their families with them. Otherwise, if you park your car on the side of the road at will, someone passing by may want to help you, or even worse, they may come directly to the traffic police or the reservoir.
staff of.
Captain Chen, who was tanned by the sun, said "En" and said: "There is parking space all over there. The land is scattered, and there are corn, sunflower, reeds, and trees. In some places,
When the water is low, off-road vehicles can drive along the reed fields, and there are even people who come here specifically to play.”
"These guys who play off-road vehicles?"
"I've asked, and it doesn't seem like it. Most of them are from out of town, from provincial capitals, etc. They should be unfamiliar with the water conditions. Moreover, most people come here a few times and then change places to play. They come three or four times in a row.
Those who are 20 years old are rare, and those who came here eight years ago and three years ago are very rare." Captain Chen's idea was still very clear, and he cleared out the off-road people at once.
"Think about the life trajectory of the victim? No. 1 is on a business trip, and her route to Qinghe City is traceable, right? No. 5 is a student, where is the intersection between the two?" Liu Jinghui continued to ask.
"It's our Qinghe."
"What's the specific route?"
"I can't even explain it now."
"Where's No. 3? Still can't find the source of the body?"
"After sifting through it, I realized that there is a lot of work that involves squatting at night..."
The truth can't come out on its own. Now it's time for the task force to brainstorm.
To put it another way, it is to aimlessly search for threads.
…
Jiang Yuan walked back and forth between No. 2 and No. 4 for a long time.
There are 6 corpses in total. The source of corpses 1 and 5 can be considered found. Although No. 3 has not yet been identified, there is always a direction to search for.
Among the remaining 246, No. 6 only has the upper body skeleton, and it was the murderer's later work, so there are no usable clues.
No. 2 and No. 4 are really lacking in bone traces.
To put it into perspective, both of them should have taken X-movies.
Because No. 2 had a fractured humerus and No. 4 had orthodontic treatment, both of these would definitely require X-rays.
Theoretically, Jiang Yuan could take another X-ray of the skeleton and then compare it with the X-rays retained by the hospital to determine the identity of the deceased.
However, there is a very troublesome part here. It is very difficult to ask for X-rays from hospitals in batches. It is even more difficult to get them back.
It would be okay if you know for sure which hospital it is, but considering the domestic environment, it should be very reasonable for people from Qinghe City to go to Changyang City for medical treatment.
What if we meet someone like No. 1 again, who is directly on a business trip or a wandering victim? What if we meet someone from another province? How can we compare?
Fortunately, humerus fractures and orthodontics both tend to be treated locally.
Orthodontics requires multiple treatments throughout the year, and out-of-town treatment is a heavy burden and troublesome.
Humeral fracture is an acute disease. Most people who break their arm must seek medical treatment nearby - even if they break it somewhere else...
After repeated checks and no other identification points, Jiang Yuan found Wang Lan.
Wang Lan could actually see these two identification points, but similar to Jiang Yuan's concerns, the teeth of corpse No. 4 were relatively easy to compare, and it was hard to say whether the hospital could produce and keep the X-ray of the humerus fracture.
"Is there no other way?" Seeing that Jiang Yuan had already brought it up, Wang Lan didn't take any chances anymore.
Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "This is all I can think of."
"Can you finish reviewing the X-ray of the humerus? I can do it for the teeth, but I can't do it for the humerus."
