Serious Crime Unit 1

Chapter 382 The end of the illness (1)
1
Mulan Village is located in the eastern part of Songyin County, on the top of the Dali Mountain. It is the highest village in the county and the first place to see the sunrise. There are only 88 households in the village.

Because it is adjacent to Qingjiang Province and has been a refuge for the defeated in past wars, the villagers come from various ethnic groups. The villagers can actually speak five dialects. Some of the villagers can still sing folk songs, making it a unique cultural landscape.However, in order to escape the attack of the Ming and Qing governments at that time, all the people who came here to take refuge changed their ethnicity to Han.

Due to the high mountains and dangerous roads, Mulan Village only has a 3.5-meter-wide cement road connecting the outside. Although there are 88 households, most of the young people go out to work. Half of the villagers moved to Daping Village down the mountain, leaving half of the villagers. Without the ability to relocate, the village became a typical hollow village.

Villager Chen Shenglin is over eighty years old. He is a very hard-working man. He will get sick if he does not work for two days. His longevity and health make the whole village envious.

The National Day holiday had just ended on October 10. It was a crisp autumn day with a cool breeze. Chen Shenglin was carrying a rake and a pair of empty baskets, ready to dig sweet potatoes in the field. His land was next to Mulan Creek. He walked along the creek. As he walked forward on the path beside him, he thought that the weather this year would be good and the sweet potatoes would grow well, so he should have a good harvest. He was a contented person, and even if one acre of land yielded 8 kilograms more sweet potatoes this year than last year, he would still be very happy.

When Chen Shenglin was young, his face was as fair as a woman. He had acted in Nan Opera, mainly playing female roles, and liked to sing. He sang as he walked: "It turns out that the colorful flowers are blooming everywhere, but they are all ruined. The beauty is beautiful in good times, but it is a joy in the palm of your hand." Whose courtyard..."

When he sang this, he suddenly saw a red dress floating in the creek. He felt strange. When he got closer, he found that it was a girl.

Afraid of being dazzled, he quickly ran to the stream to take another look. What he saw was still a little girl floating in the water. He took off his shoes and walked into the water. When the stream water reached the top of his thighs, he left. The little girl was only one meter away. He reached out with a rake to pick the little girl up from the water and put her on the creek beach.

The little girl had been swollen by blisters and had been dead for a long time. The body gave off a strong stench, but he could still identify her as Guo Linsong's granddaughter Guo Aiqin. He quickly took out the old man's cell phone and dialed the number of the village director Yang Yang. , the call got through as soon as he dialed. He explained the situation to Ou Yangyang, and Ou Yangyang told him to stand there and wait for him, and he would come right away.

After a while, the district security director of Yangyanghe Village came to the scene, checked on Guo Aiqin's situation, and said that this was a matter of life and death, and he had to call the police. He took out his mobile phone and called 110. After the police officers at the command center asked about the situation, they told them Don't let other villagers know, so as not to damage the scene and physical evidence.

After Zhu Gang received the call from the command center, he immediately summoned Che Xiaolin, Chen Li, Zheng Zuhua, Wu Jiang, Xiao Ke and Lu Yingying to rush to the scene.

The county seat is nearly 60 kilometers away from Mulan Village. It is the most remote administrative village in Songyin County. An hour and a half later, two police cars drove to Mulan Village and stopped on the road opposite Mulan Creek. Everyone got out of the car with the survey boxes and came Go to the creek beach.

Because this is not the first scene, let alone an investigation site. Wu Jiang is questioning Chen Shenglin, and Zheng Zuhua is checking the body.

Guo Aiqin was wearing a set of new red sportswear and a pair of white sneakers on her feet. The shoes were so worn that her toes were exposed. At first glance, she looked like a child from a poor family.

Her hair had fallen out. Zheng Zuhua turned the body over and observed it. He found a scar on the back of her head, as if she had been hit by a blunt object. He pressed it with his hand, and the scalp dented quickly, and he heard a slight sound. He judged She had a skull fracture.

Her belly is not distended, her palms are open, and there is no sand or waterweed in the gaps between her fingernails. There is no sign of drowning, because people who drown clenched their fists, and she will drink a lot of water after falling into the water. , and also subconsciously use both hands to grab things.

Zhu Gang came to Zheng Zuhua and asked, "Is it an accidental death?"

"It shouldn't be an accident. You can see that the deceased's parietal bone was fractured and was injured by blunt force. There is no sediment or water plants in the deceased's mouth, nasal cavity, and fingernail gaps, indicating that she was thrown into the water after her death. "

"Could it be that the deceased fell from a height, hit the back of her head on a rock, and then fell into the water? For example, fell from a bridge into the water? Then she would not be able to drink from the stream."

"It's possible, but unlikely."

"Approximately how long had the deceased been soaked in the water?"

"We can't be sure. We can only confirm it after an autopsy. However, judging from the extent of the wounds and skin being soaked in water and turning white, it should have been thrown into the water after 10 o'clock last night. Moreover, the spots on the body were light. This may be due to being soaked in water." The reason is that she died between 10 and 12 o'clock last night."

Zhu Gang nodded with a solemn expression. If this was a child murder case, who would be so cruel?Even if there is hatred between adults, they cannot vent their anger on the little girl.

Zhu Gang walked up to Ou Yangyang and said, "Whose daughter is this?" He pointed at Guo Aiqin's body and asked. "She is the granddaughter of Guo Linsong and the daughter of Guo Zhikuan."

"Tell us about her family's situation. We suspect that she may have been killed intentionally."

"Oh? It shouldn't be possible... Her name is Guo Aiqin, she is a leukemia patient. She is 7 years old this year. She should have been in school, but she cannot go to school because of illness. Her parents are working in Shanghai and want to earn money for her treatment by working, so, She is taken care of by her grandfather Guo Linsong. I have asked people to go to her house to find her grandfather, but for some reason, her grandfather cannot be found anywhere. He may have gone to work in the mountains..."

"Wait, you are wrong. Guo Aiqin fell into Mulan Creek last night. Her grandfather should be looking for her everywhere. How can he still go to work in the mountains today?" Zhu Gang looked at Ou Yangyang, who was already close to death. He is 60 years old, short in stature, dressed simply and elegantly, his hair has fallen out, his forehead wrinkles are as furrowed as pine bark, and he has a restrained temperament.

"Oh, she died last night? Why was she running to the stream alone?"

"Maybe she didn't run to the stream, but someone dumped her body into the stream. Continue talking about her situation."

"About this time last year, Guo Aiqin felt weak, dizzy, short of breath, and had nosebleeds. Her grandfather took her to the city to see a doctor. The doctor said she might have leukemia. Her grandfather called her father home and took her to the province. I went to the hospital for examination and the result was that it was indeed leukemia.

"So the family borrowed money from everywhere, plus his own savings, and spent more than 30 yuan in half a year. Although the New Rural Cooperative Medical System reimbursed more than 10 yuan, they still owed 20 yuan. They could no longer borrow money. Guo Zhikuan did not The method was to launch a crowdfunding campaign with friends on WeChat and raised a total of 81000 yuan.

"But this is just a drop in the bucket and has no effect. Guo Zhikuan said that it costs thousands of yuan a day, 5000 yuan for a match, 800 yuan for an injection, 2500 yuan for separation, 5000 yuan for freezing, and I can’t remember many nouns. Anyway, it’s a bottomless pit.

"In the end, I had no choice but to take Guo Aiqin home and let her grandfather take care of her, while her mother and father went to work to earn money. Oh, it was so pitiful. I also lent Guo Zhikuan 2 yuan. Guo Aiqin was very well-behaved and had a very sweet mouth. She looked like She is as beautiful and lovely as an angel, but God has no eyes and wants to take her away..."

"Did Guo Zhikuan and his wife work in Shanghai before?"

"Yes, when Guo Aiqin was three years old, they gave her to Guo Linsong to raise. The couple originally wanted to work to earn money to build a new house. Unexpectedly, the house was not completed. Their daughter became ill. They spent all their savings and owed 20 For tens of thousands, they can only continue to work and earn money to pay off their debts." He frowned, a heavy sadness filling his face.

"Where do you think Guo Linsong will go? Does he have a mobile phone?"

"There was a mobile phone given to the elderly by the telecommunications company, but it was turned off."

"Let's go, take us to his house." Zhu Gang asked Che Xiaolin to call the funeral home and ask a car to pick up Guo Aiqin's body. Zheng Zuhua and Chen Li followed the car to the funeral home to handle it and perform an autopsy on the body as soon as possible.

Guo Linsong's family lives in the north of the village. The terrain of Mulan Village is uneven, and the houses are not concentrated. They are scattered in a long and narrow area, and they are high and low. Standing on the opposite mountain and watching, you can see the upper body of each house. The village Almost all of them are adobe houses, because the villagers who can afford them have relocated.

Guo Linsong's door was unlocked. Everyone walked into the house. The house was not big. After entering the hall, the two rooms on the left and the two rooms on the right were all separated by fir boards. The two rooms on the left were locked. One of them is the bedroom of Guo Zhikuan and his wife, and the other is the living room.

One on the right is Guo Linsong's bedroom, and the other is a utility room. Both rooms are unlocked, as if Guo Linsong has just left and will go home soon.

There is a large bed in the bedroom. There are two pillows at the head and end of the bed. One pillow is new and the other is old. The new one should be Guo Aiqin's pillow and the old one Guo Linsong's pillow. There is a rectangular table and a small round table in the room. , there are various animal toys piled on the small round table, which must have been given to Guo Aiqin by her relatives and friends who came to visit her.

There is a pig pen at the back door of Guo Linsong, and there is a piglet in it. The piglet may be hungry. It is eating the light water in the stone trough. From the piglet's hungry cry, you can hear that it has not eaten for a long time. So, Guo Linsong may have been gone for a long time, where will he go?
