Serious Crime Unit 1

Chapter 605 The treasure hunter dies again (17)
He thought that Luo Qian might have left temporarily, and he was afraid that he would not be able to enter the cabin after he came, so he did not fasten the padlock completely, but only half-fastened it. Then he cut the toothpick in half and inserted it into the keyhole, causing it to be locked. illusion.

After Guan Shanlin finished smoking a cigarette, he stood up and looked around. The room was the same as before. At this moment, he smelled a very faint smell, which seemed to be the smell of rotten pork. He felt even stranger. , because he had never smelled such a stink.

He walked to the door of the bedroom. The bedroom was bolted inward. It was a wooden door bolt. If it was bolted inward, no one from the outside could get in.Guan Shanlin lowered his head, closed his left eye, and looked in through the crack in the door. The result surprised him, because Luo Qian was lying on the bed wearing shorts, facing the bedroom door, and his eyes were as big as bull's eyes. , his face turned blue, and there was saliva at the corner of his mouth.

Guan Shanlin thought he might be drunk, so he banged on the door and called Luo Qian loudly for a long time, but there was no response.He had a premonition that something was not going well, so he went to the kitchen to get a fruit knife, inserted the knife into the gap between the door and the wall, put the blade against the door bolt, and pushed the door bolt from left to right little by little. Five minutes later , the door bolt was opened by him.

He put down the fruit knife, pushed open the bedroom door, walked to the bed, and pushed Luo Qian with his hand. When his hand came into contact with Luo Qian's shoulder, there was a cold feeling. He was startled, but , quickly calmed down, and went to test Luo Qian's nose to see if he was breathing, but found that there was no breath. Then he touched Luo Qian's chest, but there was no heartbeat.

He felt that something was wrong, so he quickly took out his mobile phone, called up Wujiang's number, and dialed...

The No. 1 Crime Team drove two vehicles to Dujuan Valley, sealed off the scene, and investigated the scene.Luo Jin usually stayed in the laboratory and rarely went out to play in the wild. At this moment, he came to the Rhododendron Valley and saw the picturesque scenery. The valley was full of green, the birds were chirping, and the air was pure. He couldn't believe it was so beautiful. A murder occurred somewhere.

Because Guan Shanlin had explained the situation to them, saying that the padlock was falsely locked from the outside. Luo Qian had no way to falsely lock the padlock from the inside. The murderer must have locked it from the outside. Therefore, it can be confirmed that Luo Qian did not commit suicide. But was murdered.This was a locked room murder.

After Jiang Yiming listened to Guan Shanlin's explanation of the process, he realized that Luo Qian's death must be related to the deaths of Chi Ye and He Wendong. Maybe Luo Qian knew who killed He Wendong, and then used the evidence to blackmail the murderer. The murderer first promised Luo Qian conditions, then track him, know that he lives in Cuckoo Valley, and then design to kill him.

Every time a murder case occurs, Jiang Yiming will feel great pressure, because this is a serial murder case. Four people have died, including the female skeleton. They have been investigating non-stop for more than a month, but to no avail. It is really a headache. , Fortunately, the family members of the deceased did not come to make trouble, otherwise, they would be under greater pressure.

After Jiang Yiming listened to Guan Shanlin's description, he walked into the bedroom. Luo Jin was conducting a preliminary examination of the body, Wu Jiang was investigating the traces of physical evidence in the room, Xiao Ke was investigating outside the house, Zhou Ting was in charge of taking photos, and Lu Yingying used a computer to query Luo Qian in the household registration system. Information.

Jiang Yiming approached Luo Jin and asked, "What's going on?"

"The deceased had a small amount of bleeding on his conjunctiva. He should have died of suffocation or cardiac failure. However, I did not find any external injuries, such as strangulation, covering the nose, etc. Judging from the body spots, I think the deceased died of poisoning. We It is known that the initial stage of corpse plaque formation is called the accumulation stage. This stage becomes clearly visible within 5-6 hours after death and can last for 6-12 hours.

"When the corpse spots are pressed during the accumulation period, they will fade or disappear. If the pressure is removed, the corpse spots will reappear. If the position of the corpse is changed in the previous stage, the corpse spots will also change accordingly and reappear in the new lower part.

"The second stage of the development of corpse spots is the diffusion stage. It takes about 8 hours after death to develop into the diffusion stage, which lasts to 26-30 hours. During this period, the plasma dyed red by hemoglobin penetrates into the surrounding tissue. At this time, pressing the corpse spots has already It does not disappear completely, it just fades slightly, and the corpse spots return to their original color slowly after stopping pressing.

"Therefore, I judge that the deceased has been dead for more than 31 hours. It is now 7 a.m. on July 2, so the deceased should have died between 9 a.m. and 7 a.m. on July 1. He died of snake venom. What kind of venomous snake was it specifically? We won’t know until an autopsy is done.”

"Were any poisonous snake tooth marks found on the deceased?"

"Yes, there are two needle-like tooth marks on the deceased's right thumb. Because the thumb has become swollen and the wound has turned black, we can be sure that they are the tooth marks of a venomous snake. To be precise, they are the teeth marks of a venomous snake. "

Jiang Yiming squatted down, picked up the deceased's right hand, checked for tooth marks, looked at it for a while and said: "Under normal circumstances, a living person cannot die so quickly if he is bitten by a poisonous snake, but Luo Qian must have known how to travel through mountains and rivers and climb mountains for many years. How to save yourself after being bitten by a poisonous snake. Why didn't he do anything to save himself? He didn't even struggle. This is abnormal. Could it be that he was drunk?"

"It's possible, but it's not very likely, because I've already pressed his stomach. As soon as I pressed his stomach, the bloating in his stomach would rush out of his throat, but I didn't smell a trace of alcohol."

"Can you still smell alcohol after being dead for so long?" Jiang Yiming felt that the alcohol had already dissipated.

"Yes, because once a person dies, the digestive system stops working, and his alcohol will accumulate in the stomach and cannot be excreted by the intestines, liver and kidneys, so there will definitely be an alcoholic smell. And after the deceased is bitten by a poisonous snake, he will be very smelly. Pain, if he was not drunk and unconscious, he would feel the pain." "Your idea is right, then the deceased must have been bitten by a snake while he was in a coma. As far as I know, there are no snake bites around our city. A venomous snake actively attacks people. The deceased was sleeping in bed. How could the venomous snake crawl into his bed and bite him?"

"The poisonous snake was probably brought here by the murderer, and then released to bite the deceased after he fell asleep."

"So, maybe the murderer entered the house and manipulated the venomous snake to bite the deceased after he was knocked unconscious?"

"Yes, you can reason like this, but if you are not familiar with the habits of venomous snakes, it will be difficult to control the venomous snake to bite the deceased, because the venomous snake may also bite the murderer."

"It's too simple. The murderer brought the venomous snake to the scene, then put on anti-snake bite gloves, opened the venomous snake's mouth, put the deceased's thumb into the venomous snake's mouth, and then stung the venomous snake. The venomous snake reacted like a reflex. If you bite the thumb of the deceased, you will definitely die."

After Jiang Yiming finished speaking, he lifted the quilt on the bed. The quilt hung down to the wooden floor and was 60 centimeters long, covering the things under the bed. After lifting it, Jiang Yiming saw an old-style insurance about 55 centimeters high under the bed. The door of the safe was opened, and there was nothing inside.

Jiang Yiming asked Luo Jin to help him carry out the safe, which weighed about 150 pounds, and put it on the table in the living room.Jiang Yiming took out the white fingerprint powder and brush and swiped his fingerprints on the rotating door handle.Different objects have different fingerprint collection methods.To take the simplest example, if you use black powder to treat fingerprints on black paper, you will definitely not see them, but if you use white powder to treat them, you can see them clearly. This is the so-called distinction between black and white. .

Because the door handle of the safe is dark green, Jiang Yiming used white fingerprint powder.Jiang Yiming only extracted 8 identical fingerprints from the safe. He took a photo of the fingerprints and took them to the bedroom to compare with Luo Qian's fingerprints. As a result, all 8 fingerprints belonged to Luo Qian, which showed that the murderer committed the crime while wearing gloves.

Wu Jiang walked up to Jiang Yiming and said, "Captain Jiang, why is the door of this safe open?"

"The murderer should have come here for the contents of the safe, which may be priceless or the most deadly thing for the murderer. Otherwise, the murderer would not have racked his brains to murder Luo Qian."

"Yes, there must be a deep motive for killing people. Do you think Luo Qian's death is related to the Chi Ye case and the He Wendong case?"

"There should be a connection. I think that when the murderer murdered He Wendong, he might have been discovered by Luo Qian or filmed. Luo Qian used it to blackmail the murderer and asked the murderer to pay a huge sum of money to buy the fatal evidence. Therefore, the murderer must be eradicated. Old Wu, you Did you and Xiaoke find any clues?"

"I extracted 7 types of fingerprints on this table, four of which belong to me, Xiao Ke, Guan Shanlin, and Luo Qian, and the other three belong to someone I don't know. I also extracted 7 types of shoe prints in the living room. Four of the shoe prints belong to me, Xiaoke, Guan Shanlin, and Luo Qian, and the other three are unknown."

"Is there any hope of finding clues from the three unknown shoe prints?"

"No, these three kinds of shoe prints are covered by the shoe prints of the four of us. They may have been left by Luo Qian's friends before we came to visit him. The murderer must have put on shoe covers and gloves, but... The footprints of the shoe covers were clearly imprinted on the ground at the door, from which the suspect could be identified."

"Oh, how to lock it?"

"Xiao Ke found the footprints left by the suspect wearing foot gloves on the ground near the bedside outside the bedroom. They were deeply sunk in the moist soil. It can be determined that the suspect was about 165 to 167 centimeters tall and weighed about 50 kilograms. The focus is on the front end of the shoe, and it’s an outstretched step, so he may be a mountaineering enthusiast.”

"This person knows Luo Qian's situation very well. He may be his friend or related person. I just don't know why he bolted Luo Qian's bedroom door from the inside? And the outside was locked?"
