Corpse Investigation Section 2: Major Crime Catcher

Chapter 3 Bloody Wedding

一
On Christmas Eve, a gust of cold wind blew away a few sporadic clouds in the night sky, and the moon shyly showed its shy face.Against the backdrop of the moonlight, hexagonal snowflakes sway in the air in small clusters; the snowflakes caress the leaves and become dewdrops that moisten everything; the snowflakes lightly fall on the pond, spreading out sparkling ripples; , then become the most beautiful gift of this festival.

Far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, two elderly couples in their 50s are sitting in the living room in a suite in the Jade Garden Community of Yunxi City that is plastered with happy characters.

"My in-laws, are you satisfied with the decoration of this house?" A well-dressed old woman looked up at the European-style chandelier on the ceiling, and then looked at another woman with a smile.

The woman reluctantly turned her eyes away from an expensive cabinet air conditioner, and smiled from ear to ear: "Satisfied, satisfied, very satisfied. Or say that Sister Qin and Brother Huang are both good at handling things?" , don’t you, old man?” After speaking, the woman poked her elbow at the man who was smoking a cigar next to her.

"Cough, cough, cough—" the absent-minded man choked on a puff of smoke, and coughed for a long time with his face flushed.

The woman rolled her eyes at him with some dissatisfaction.

Sister Qin knew the timing and pushed a cup of steaming tea in front of the man: "As long as the two in-laws are satisfied, it's fine. For the two children, this is a new house I bought specially, a large living room with three bedrooms and two living rooms." "Three rooms and two halls", she deliberately emphasized the tone.

"It's still Sister Qin who has the heart. Our family, Lele, will follow your family in the future. That life must be happy and fulfilling. Maybe next year we will be able to embrace a little boy." The woman patted her thigh in a spirited manner, her joy was beyond words.

"We are looking forward to it day and night, just hoping to have a fat grandson in our arms as soon as possible. If we can achieve our wish, I am willing to spend any money!"

The man remained silent all this time, frowning and pinching half of the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray vigorously. Just as the other people were talking happily, he suddenly got up and patted the ash scattered on his body, and said in a dull tone "Brother Huang, Sister Qin, we've seen the house too, it's getting late, we should go back." After speaking, he strode towards the door.

The woman couldn't hold back her face, put away her wrinkled smiling face, then took out her mobile phone from her bag and pretended to glance at the time to hide her embarrassment: "It's really getting late, the two in-laws should go to bed early, after a few days See you at the wedding today."

"Hey, good!" Sister Qin couldn't say anything to persuade her to stay, she got up and sent the two to the door.

"Bang!" There was a sound of closing the door in the corridor, and the woman hurriedly turned her head to take a look. After making sure that the door was closed firmly, she grabbed the man's shoulder and stared fiercely: "Wang, what are you doing to me tonight?" What face are you throwing away? If you have something to say, explain it to me face to face!"

The man didn't save face for the woman at all. He stood at the end of the corridor and said in a questioning tone: "Speak clearly? What can I tell you clearly? This is what you did! We are just a daughter. Do you think this kind of life is what a daughter wants?" Want it? Have you considered your daughter's feelings? Are you a real mother? What do you think of your daughter!"

The voice echoed in the corridor, the woman's face was ashen, her teeth clenched her lips, her panting caused by anger became heavier and heavier, the air was condensed with a smell of tension, and a big battle was about to break out.

The man seems to be fully prepared psychologically, waiting for the storm to come without fear.

Perhaps because of some scruples, the woman's rationality finally defeated her impulse. After a few breaths, she did not refute, but glared at the man, turned around and walked into the long-awaited elevator.

The moment the elevator door closed, the man habitually took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.In the dark corridor, every breath of the man is accompanied by flickering light, and every burning of the cigarette end reflects his melancholy face.

The cigarette quickly burned to ashes, he took out his mobile phone, clicked on the SMS icon on the screen, inputted a series of mobile phone numbers skillfully, and then typed a line of small characters on the pinyin keyboard: "Lele, Dad is sorry for you. "

The text was sent out with a ding-dong sound.The man put away his mobile phone and continued to lean against the wall, waiting for a reply from the other side of the phone.

After an unknown amount of time, he had already snuffed out his last cigarette, but the phone in his jacket pocket still didn't ring.

In order to make sure that he was not hallucinating, the man checked again, but there was still no new text message on his phone.

The man looked up at the anti-theft door with the number plate "2101", turned around and walked into the elevator.

I don't know what time it is in the early morning. The man is lying next to the woman, tossing and turning is not a pleasure. He lifted the quilt with his body temperature, went straight to the table and picked up the phone.

"Why didn't Lele reply to my message today?" The man frowned, a little anxious.

"Didn't you see it while you were asleep?"

"No, Lele sleeps so late every day, and plays with her mobile phone before going to bed. She shouldn't have missed the message I sent her."

"Is the phone dead and charging?"

"Probably not. Since she was in school, she has the habit of not turning off the phone 24 hours a day, and it will turn on when charging."

The man held his mobile phone, paced back and forth in the bedroom, and muttered to himself.

When all kinds of guesses were denied, the man suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"No, I have to go and have a look." The man made up his mind, grabbed the clothes from the bedside, put them on in twos and twos, and walked out quickly.When the door lock clicked and was locked, the wall clock in the house rang five o'clock in the morning.

The man rode a battery scooter and ran all the way. After passing through more than a dozen traffic lights, he came to a building called Shancheng Community.

Gudong, Gudong... The surrounding was a little strangely quiet, which also made the man's heart beat faster and faster. He didn't bother to help the battery car that was not parked, and rushed into the corridor of the unit building.

"Lele, open the door!"

The man knocked on the door, but there was no answer.

"Lele, open the door!" The man raised his voice. He no longer had the heart to consider whether his yelling would disturb the residents in the building. His sixth sense as a father had already made him aware that something serious might happen to his daughter. .

The shouts still fell silent. In the cold winter, the man broke out in sweat. He took out a bunch of keys from his waist in a panic, and searched for the one that belonged to the iron door in front of him one by one with trembling hands.

The sound of clanging keys stopped suddenly, and the man tightly held the cross-flowered key engraved with the word "Le" in his hand.Taking a deep breath, he pointed the key at the brass-colored lock on the door.

Click, click.With the sound of several turns of the key, the man could clearly feel that the bolt had left the lock on the door frame.

The door was pushed open, and the damp and strong smell of blood rushed into the man's mouth and nose wantonly.

He subconsciously covered his mouth, and walked limply towards the only bedroom in the room.

Squeak, as the door was slowly pushed open, the scene in front of him made the man completely faint.

"I say you are ruthless, make good use of innocent eyes." A ringtone specially customized for Brother Ming rang in my ears like crazy.

The ringtone woke me up from my deep sleep, and I pulled my hands out of the warm blanket in pain, and squinted my eyes to find the location of the phone at the head of the bed.Just when the music was about to end, my fingertips felt cold, and in the midst of difficult choices, I grabbed the phone.

The bright light from the screen blinded me as I struggled to find the green answer icon on the shiny LCD screen.

The coolness in the room made me wake up a lot.At this time, the answer button on my mobile phone also changed to "missed call" in a blink of an eye.

"I x, it's [-]:[-], brother Ming's call? It's definitely not a good thing!" I was half awake, staring at the electronic clock on my phone, as if I understood something.

I was just about to call Brother Ming when the phone rang again.This time, without any hesitation, I tapped the green circle on the screen vigorously.

"Brother Ming! What's wrong?"

"I'll give you 5 minutes. Wait for me downstairs after washing up. There's been a murder." Brother Ming urged anxiously.

"Got it!" When I heard it was a "murder case", I didn't dare to neglect, put on my clothes with hands and feet, and rushed to the bathroom.

My name is Si Yuanlong, male, 23 years old, I am a junior trace inspector in the Criminal Technology Office of Yunxi City Public Security Bureau. Due to the influence of my father, I chose this job when I graduated from university.

Here, I have to introduce my father. He used to be the most authoritative expert in criminal technology in our province, but because of the case more than ten years ago, his legs were disabled and he was bedridden all day long.

So far, I have been working for two years, and I can barely take care of myself in the department.

The person who called me just now is Leng Qiming, in his 40s, the forensic doctor of our department and the boss of our department. We usually call him Brother Ming.

He used to be my father's most proud student, but he had a weird personality. In my impression, he never gave anyone a smiley face except my father. The cold-faced forensic doctor was talking about him.

He has always been sloppy when he talks and does things. He said that 5 minutes is only 5 minutes. I just stepped out of the door of the unit building with my front foot, and the on-site survey vehicle of our unit had already stopped in front of me with a squeak.

"Xiaolong, hurry up and get in the car." A fat man sitting in the driver's cab was waving at me vigorously.

I gave him an "OK" gesture.

His name is Jiao Lei, he is in his 30s, and he is responsible for criminal photography, video analysis and image processing in our department.He is also my father's apprentice. Because of his chubby figure, I call him Fat Lei in private. He is the funniest one in our department. Because of our similar temperament, our relationship is very strong.

Last night's weather forecast said that today's minimum temperature would be -[-] degrees below zero. Standing outside, I could feel a piercing cold ravaging me wantonly.

I shivered involuntarily, and the water vapor exhaled from my mouth suddenly turned into white mist and floated in the air.

I took a few steps to the JAC police car with the words "Crime Scene Investigation" printed on it. I grabbed the door handle with my left hand and pulled it out. It's the air conditioning in the car that brings me comfort.

I rubbed my hands together and dove into the car.

Boom!The moment I got in the car, a girl in the back slammed the door from the inside with her foot, a feat she had mastered.I smiled and glanced at her handsome face.

"Smelly rascal!" She never thought I was admiring a beautiful woman when I looked at her.

Her name is Ye Qian. She is two years younger than me. She is an intern in our department. Senior brother pays attention to it.Since Xu Shi, the captain of the Criminal Police Brigade, is her uncle, she mainly acts as a link to the Criminal Police Team in our department.

The person who is most easily overlooked in our department is Chen Guoxian, a tech man who wears "bottle bottom" glasses and sleeps in the back of the car.He is in charge of physical and chemical biological testing in our department. He has a pair of eyes that can see through everything. When he is at work, except for eating and drinking, he basically spends time in his own laboratory. He is obsessed with testing.

Generally, men who like to engage in scientific research look more anxious, and Brother Xian is no exception. Although he is only in his 30s, just by his appearance, he is much older than Brother Ming.So in private, we all call him Laoxian.

Our department is scientifically called the Criminal Science and Technology Department, but our brothers prefer to call us the "Department of Mortal Case Investigation", because in addition to the daily inspection work, the most important task of our department is to be responsible for the on-site investigation of murder cases in the city Work.In other words, wherever there is a murder case, we will be there.We are usually not at the murder scene, or on the way to the murder scene.

"What's the situation?" I sat on the soft car seat and asked Brother Ming in the co-pilot.

Brother Ming came back to his senses: "I don't know the specific situation yet. I only know that the murder scene is in the Shancheng community. The deceased was a woman. The criminal police team has rushed to protect the scene."

"Oh!" I echoed casually.

Brother Ming didn't waste another word, but continued to look out of the window, thoughtful.

Under the skillful operation of Fat Lei, the investigation vehicle rushed all the way to the scene of the crime.In just a few 10 minutes, red and blue police lights flashed alternately outside the car window.

I rolled up the window and looked out, and there were four police cars parked side by side on the north side of a six-story building in the community, and a cordon was put on in front of the apartment building.

Fat Lei quickly found an open space and parked the car neatly. Xu Shi, the captain of the criminal police brigade, trotted all the way to us with his notebook in his hands.

"Captain Xu, how's the situation?" Brother Ming frowned slightly when he saw the other party's nervous expression.

"Director Leng, you're here." Team Xu swallowed.

"Hurry up and introduce!"

Team Xu opened his notebook: "We received the alarm at 5:1 in the morning, saying that someone had been killed in Room 202, Unit 29, Building [-], Shancheng Community. The name of the deceased was Wang Xiaole, female, [-] years old, from our city's technical secondary school. A teacher from my hometown. The person who reported the case was her father, Wang Zhen. According to her father, he sent a text message to the deceased at about nine o'clock last night, but the deceased never replied. He didn't feel anything wrong at first. , but this morning he suddenly had an ominous premonition, so he came to the neighborhood where his daughter lived, opened the door with a key, and saw that his daughter was murdered in the bedroom. The general situation of the matter is like this."

"We'll meet again after the on-site survey is over." Brother Ming took out a few survey suits from the trunk and distributed them to us.

"Director Leng! I think it's better to remind you. According to the description of the deceased's family, the scene may be a bit miserable." Team Xu closed his notebook and said casually.

"Okay, I see." Brother Ming didn't care.

Taking advantage of the gap between changing the survey suit, I looked around the surroundings of the scene.

three

The Shancheng community at the scene of the crime is considered a relatively well-known residential community in our area.Back then, this place was so hot that the developers asked for 5000 square meters. In big cities, the house price might be less than a fraction, but in our third-tier cities, the price is already considered high. The average price is only a little over [-].

The biggest highlight of Shancheng District is that it is built on the hillside. Judging from its promotional brochure, the scenery is so beautiful.But the developer doesn't seem to have considered the most important point, which is the safety issue. About three years ago, a landslide on the south side of the community directly caused some houses at the foot of the mountain to be severely damaged and many people were injured. This incident caused a lot of trouble. There was an uproar, and the contractors and developers of the community were held accountable.

And this incident was just the beginning. Later, because of this community, a case of corruption and bribery was also brought up.The direct consequence of this incident is that the owners of the community have sold their houses at low prices.Except for the [-]-odd multi-storey buildings in the first phase, almost all the other houses are unfinished, and the building equipment on the construction site can be seen everywhere in the community.This is also the reason why such a big case happened in the community without a single resident watching.

Building No. 5 where the homicide occurred was a six-story brick-and-concrete building facing north. This building happened to be one of the most dangerous buildings in the neighborhood.Five meters to the south of the building is a sloping mountain covered with trees. There is only a symbolic barbed wire fence between the residential building and the mountain, which does not provide any protection at all.The location where the body is located is the east door on the second floor of this building.

After the five of us were fully dressed, we walked into the cordon.

There is a certain order in the investigation of the crime scene.First of all, I, the trace inspector, entered the room to process fingerprints, shoe prints and other traces of the entire scene, so as to prevent subsequent technicians from inadvertently destroying the crime scene.

As a criminal photographer, Fat Lei followed me with a camera to assist me in extracting key physical evidence.In this digital age, the imaging photos of SLR cameras have become an indispensable part of trace inspection.

After my investigation is over, Brother Ming will go into the room to examine the corpse.After the autopsy at the crime scene is over, the old sage will take the biological samples that need to be analyzed and tested at the crime scene and send them back to the laboratory for testing.Of course, all the inspection process requires the assistance of Fat Lei with a camera.

In just a few breaths, we each took our inspection tools and stood in front of the door of the crime scene.Fat Lei was quickly assembling the camera equipment, and Brother Ming and Ye Qian naturally stepped aside to make room for me.

I glanced at the north-facing door. It was made of iron anti-theft door, with a cross-shaped lock cylinder, and the color was dark red.This kind of door is also called engineering door, which is an extremely cheap door provided by the developers collectively. The main structure of this kind of door is actually a layer of cardboard sandwiched between two layers of iron sheets. Just kick it away, the standard defense against a gentleman is not against a villain.

I took out a miniature trace collection equipment from the inspection box.This equipment consists of two parts, a camera device as thin as a wire and an image acquisition device. Its main function is to collect traces and evidence that cannot be seen by the naked eye at the scene of the crime. Here, it is to observe whether the door lock has been picked.

After the equipment was adjusted, I aimed the camera at the keyhole.With several clicks of the shutter, the internal structure of the lock cylinder was photographed on the memory card built into the instrument.

With all this done, I pulled out a couple of bottles of powder and started fingerprinting the door.This kind of door is the most common object. For me, the whole collection process will not exceed 10 minutes.

Just when Pang Lei had just finished assembling the camera, I put away the brush for collecting fingerprints, and turned my head to take a look, only to see Pang Lei lightly pressed the shutter button a few times, raised his right hand and made a gesture to me. With the "OK" gesture, I pushed the door knowingly and walked into the crime scene.

The crime room has a structure of one bedroom and one living room, and the visual area does not exceed [-] square meters. The living room is on the right hand side of the entrance, and a set of sofas and a set of home stereos are placed in the living room.The left hand side of the entrance is the dining room and the kitchen. Through a transparent glass sliding door, it can be clearly seen that the kitchen has serious signs of turnover.On the south side of the living room, from east to west, there are bedrooms, bathrooms and storage rooms.According to the reporter's description, the deceased was in this bedroom.

I squatted down and tapped hard on the wooden floor a few times with my fingers, but there was no obvious sound from the ground.

"Laminate flooring." I quickly identified the object I was dealing with in my first step into the room.

Generally, the laminate flooring is wet-applied during the decoration process. Its process is to first apply a layer of cement floor indoors, then lay the groove, and finally lay the wooden floor on it to complete the work.The finished wooden floors are all close to the ground, there is no gap in the middle, so there is not much sound when knocked.

But if it is a solid wood floor, it is the opposite, because the solid wood floor will first lay a layer of "keel", and then put the wooden floor on the "keel", that is to say, there is a space between the solid wood floor and the ground. , in the process of tapping, there will be a booming echo.

Judging the material of the ground plays a vital role in extracting on-site footprints.

Take laminate flooring as an example, because most of this kind of floor uses industrial glue to squeeze the wood chips together, so this kind of floor has strong hardness and smoothness, and shoes can leave clear shoe prints on it .For the shoe prints on this object, I only need to use the footprint light to clearly observe.

The difficulty of solid wood flooring is higher, because its surface has uneven texture, and sometimes only part of the sole pattern can be left when the shoes step on it. For such a floor, I have to find a lot of shoe prints indoors. Only by cutting and splicing photos of shoe prints can a complete shoe sole pattern be assembled.

Fortunately, the ground on the scene is the kind of object that can be observed directly, which made me breathe a sigh of relief.

But when I turned on the footprint light and began to search the ground, the scene in front of me seemed to tell me: "Xiaomian, are you too happy?"

The reason for my surprise was that there was a kind of shoe print in the room that I didn't expect.

I squatted on the ground and moved carefully to the side of the shoe prints.The entire shoe print is composed of several sunken dot marks arranged vertically. I frown and carefully observe these seemingly irregular white dot-like depressions in front of me.

Fat Lei saw my furrowed brows, and walked up to me: "What's the matter, Xiaolong?"

"Brother Lei, I just asked before entering the door. I have basically ruled out all the shoe prints of irrelevant personnel. From the current point of view, this shoe print should be left by the suspect." I pointed to the ground.

"What kind of shoe print is this?" Fat Lei also stared at the ground curiously.

"If I'm not mistaken, these should be spikes."

"Spikes? Spikes for running? Could it be that the suspect is an athlete?" Fat Lei was a little delighted.

I shook my head: "Not all athletes wear spikes. There are many types of spikes in our market, and I only know of four."

"Four?"

"Yes! The first type is the well-known track and field spikes, which are mainly worn by people who participate in running, high jump and long jump; the second type is football spikes, which is easy to understand; the third type is called golf spikes, because they are playing golf. In the course of the ball, swinging the club needs to be vigorous, so generally golfers who often play golf also like to wear spikes; the fourth type is also a relatively common type of spikes, called fishing spikes, if some fishing enthusiasts catch big fish in the river , need the grip of the soles of the feet to provide support, and this kind of spikes are also commonly found in the market."

Fat Lei nodded while listening: "So there are so many types, I thought I could use them to judge some characteristics of the suspect."

I sighed helplessly: "Instead of narrowing the scope of suspects, it will increase the difficulty of analysis."

"Oh? What do you say?"

"From the shoe prints at the scene, we can easily see that the soles of the spiked shoes worn by the suspect have very hard spikes, otherwise they would not have scratched the hard laminate flooring in the room. Now we can only analyze this A few rows of irregular dot marks can't analyze the suspect's tall, short, fat or thin from the shoe prints, so it has no value at all."

Fat Lei looked at my disappointed expression and patted me on the shoulder: "Don't worry about it, let's deal with other traces first. In case the suspect did not wear gloves to commit the crime, wouldn't it be more targeted to find fingerprints?"

I had no choice but to stand up and walk towards the kitchen, which had been shaken quite a bit.

four

The pots, pans, and seasonings in the kitchen were overturned. Obviously, the suspect was not very familiar with the kitchen furnishings, otherwise there would not have been such a big commotion.

"Why did the murderer turn the kitchen into such a mess?" Fat Lei asked my question.

"Could the deceased have hidden his belongings in the kitchen?" I suggested a possibility.

"Well, maybe there is a possibility."

"I'll deal with the traces and evidence in the kitchen first." After finishing speaking, I walked to a pile of seasoning bottles and started the intense processing work.

I shook my head in disappointment when the last spice bottle was placed on the cupboard.

"What? Nothing?" Fat Lei asked while standing aside with a camera.

"Basically they are all old fingerprints, and no fresh ones have been found, and the size of the fingerprints can be judged as female, which may be left by the deceased. In other words, the suspect was wearing gloves when committing the crime."

"Grandma's, it's all influenced by some gangster movies, now kids with bigger farts know to wear gloves when committing crimes." Fat Lei was a little annoyed.

"Brother Lei, don't worry, we haven't entered the important part where the corpse is, it's too early to draw conclusions, Brother Ming and Lao Xian haven't appeared yet." Now it's my turn to comfort him.

Brother Lei let out a "hmm", readjusted the camera lens, and followed me to the door of the bedroom.

For me, the treatment of the bedroom door was like Zhang Fei eating bean sprouts, a piece of cake. After 5 minutes, I finished the whole door. The result was still not optimistic, and no suspicious fingerprints were found on the door.

Squeak, the white wooden door was pushed open, and a disgusting smell of blood rushed towards us.Although Fat Lei and I both wore thick masks, we were still pushed out by the strong smell.

The two of us took a few steps back at the same time, so as to give ourselves a chance to take a breath.

"Ah, what does it smell like?" Fat Lei sneezed.

I pinched the tip of my nose through the mask to relieve the discomfort.

"Go in and have a look." Fat Lei pushed me with his hand, signaling me to hurry up.

I took a deep breath, collected myself, and opened the door again.

"This... this... this... this..." Fat Lei just glanced at the bedroom, and his tongue seemed to be tied.

I was too frightened to speak by the tragic scene.

In the past few years, murder scenes are not uncommon, and I have some immunity, but this scene made me shiver involuntarily.

The furnishings in the bedroom are very simple. There is a white wooden wardrobe on the left hand side of the door. The wardrobe is close to the wall. There is a double bed on the east wall of the bedroom. An LCD TV is hung on the wall at the end of the bed. On the side is a large transparent balcony.

There is not much decoration on the walls inside the house, just simple white latex paint walls.

On the most eye-catching part of the white wall, there are blood characters written all over, "bitch", "bitch" and "slut", each dazzling Chinese character teases my visual nerves.It is possible that the suspect dipped in too much blood when writing, and there were several flowing blood stains under each blood letter.Against the background of the white wall, the blood characters are particularly horrifying. This scene is exactly the same as the classic scenes in horror movies.

The corpse was cut into two parts, its upper body was only wearing a black bra, its lower body was naked, the whole head was cut off and placed in the center of the bed, and a handful of stains was quietly placed on the south side of the head. Chopper for mincing meat and blood clots.

The human tissue on the neck of the deceased was covered with semi-solid dark red blood clots.Both sides of the corpse's thighs were densely covered with linear sharp cuts, the wounds were as deep as the body, through the light yellow fat epidermis, the bright red muscle tissue could be clearly seen exposed.

The white quilt on the double bed was completely soaked with blood.The whole scene can only be described as "cruel", "bloody" and "perverted".

Fat Lei and I froze in front of the corpse, big beads of sweat oozing from our foreheads, and we could clearly hear each other's heartbeats in the dead silence of the room.

I dare not be negligent, and seize all the time to deal with the traces in the room. Fortunately, it is winter, the bedding has a strong absorption capacity, and there are not too many bloodstains on the indoor floor. This does not add too much difficulty to my trace inspection work, Fat Lei Then raise the camera and carefully record the original state of the scene.

After a few 10 minutes, I made sure that the objects in the room had been carefully dealt with, and waved to Brother Ming who was waiting anxiously at the door.

Brother Ming grabbed the box and walked to the corpse in a few steps.I noticed that he only frowned slightly, and then relaxed it quickly.

He is really someone who has seen strong winds and waves, and the scene is like this, and he is still so calm.I couldn't help but sigh Brother Ming's courage in my heart.

"Ah!" Before I recovered, Ye Qian's exclamation reached my ears.

I passed Lao Xian who was carefully observing the scene, and quickly walked up to her: "Are you okay? No, you can wait outside for a while?"

Although Ye Qian is working in our department now, she is just an intern, and she is still a girl. It would be better not to see such a bloody scene.

She pressed her temple hard with her right hand, leaned against the door frame and waved at me: "It's okay, I'll just stand outside the door."

"There is such an obvious act of venting anger at the scene, it seems that the hatred between the suspect and the deceased is not ordinary." Brother Ming stood beside the corpse and glanced at the neck of the deceased who had been cut open.

"Resentment behavior" is easy to understand. At the murder scene, most venting behaviors are achieved by injuring the corpse. When the revenge behavior achieves its goal, if the resentment is still there, there will be additional behaviors. The suspect It will then continue to perform some behaviors and actions on the victim's body or a certain part that have nothing to do with the murder.The blood on the scene and the sharp wounds on the corpse are the best portrayal of "venting anger".

Brother Ming glanced roughly at the corpse, then focused his gaze on the bloody writing on the wall.

"Xiaolong, did you find anything on it?" Brother Ming asked.

I heard the sound and walked into the room again, and found two blood characters on the wall that I happened to be looking at at the same level, and observed them carefully.

"Combined with the imprints left by other objects at the scene, the blood should be written directly on the wall by the suspect dipping his fingers in the blood of the deceased. No fingerprints were left on the wall. Obviously, he was wearing gloves, and if I did not judge If he is wrong, he is wearing a rather special kind of glove."

"Oh? What gloves?" Brother Ming was a little curious.

"The suspect should be wearing latex gloves." I answered with certainty.

"How do you judge?" Everyone present focused their eyes on me.

五

I reconfirmed the writing marks and said, "Generally, there are five types of gloves on the market. The first type is cotton gloves." Its main material is cotton cloth, and the types of cotton cloth are divided into market cloth, fine cloth, and coarse cloth.It is mostly used in the manufacturing industry, and many large state-owned enterprises will purchase it centrally, such as coal mines, steel mills, etc., including the gloves used in our survey sites, which also belong to this category.This kind of glove is more expensive, and its weaving process and size have national unified standards, which are reflected in the glove print, and there are certain rules to follow.

"The second type is chemical fiber gloves." The so-called chemical fiber refers to the fiber made of natural or synthetic polymer substances as raw materials.Because the synthesis technology is simple and the cost is cheap, construction workers use it more.And after it is used, the surface fibers are easy to accumulate into balls, even newly bought gloves cannot avoid it.

"The third type is knitted gloves." Since there are many materials that can be used to make knitted gloves, in addition to the difference in raw materials for making gloves, some fully automatic machines will be used in mass production, which will leave a mark on the gloves. Under the obvious technical characteristics.In addition, for the sake of aesthetics, some people will put patterns on the gloves, or even draw some patterns. These features will be significantly different when reflected on the gloves.

"The fourth type is leather gloves." Leather can be roughly divided into pure leather, suede, and artificial leather, and can be subdivided into cow leather, pig leather, sheep leather, etc. according to the type of animal.It is a product of labor-intensive industries. The production process of this kind of gloves is the same as that of cloth, requiring many processes.Generally speaking, leather gloves are larger than ordinary gloves; if leather gloves are worn for a long time, there will be protrusions on the edge of the fingertips and cracks on the surface.

"The fifth type, latex gloves." Unlike ordinary gloves, it is an industrial glove made by firing.Widely used in medical and beauty industries, it is an essential hand protection product.Latex gloves are famous for their high elasticity and smooth surface. As long as the gloves are not damaged, they have no specific characteristics.The glove print is also close to the size of the wearer's hand.

I changed my standing posture and continued to analyze: "The glove prints I found on all the objects in the room are almost the size of human fingers, and the fingerprints have no characteristics. From this point, it can be basically determined that they are latex gloves. If If it was just my bold guess before, the blood on the scene made me more sure of my guess."

"How do you say that?" Ye Qian seemed to have adapted to the bloody scene at the crime scene.

I pointed to the blank space on the wall: "Let's take a look at the blood on the scene. A lot of blood was used, which shows that the gloves worn by the suspect are not very absorbent. One kind of glove with better absorbency can be directly ruled out, so only the latter two are left."

"As I said just now, generally leather gloves are larger than normal fingers. If the gloves worn by the suspect are of this type, during the writing process, due to the squeeze of the fingers, the gloves will be more or less thick. If there is little deformation, the size of the strength determines the thickness and thickness of the contact area of ​​the glove, so it is impossible for him to write such uniform strokes on the wall. Therefore, there is only the last latex glove that is close to the finger and does not deform." I finished my analysis in one breath.

"Well, the judgment is flawless, and I agree with your point of view." Brother Ming nodded.

"In addition, judging from the handwriting, the suspect should be a thoughtful and calm person." I added another sentence.

"Oh? Where does this start?"

"I have read some books on the psychology of handwriting. The handwriting at the scene is actually an objective record of the criminal's psychological traces. For example, the handwriting is scribbled, which can reflect the criminal's usual temper; the handwriting is often altered, which reminds the criminal of his usual behavior. Indecisive, full of worries; there are many pauses in handwriting, and the articles are intermittent, reflecting that criminals usually do not have perseverance, procrastinate, and even forget things."

After I finished speaking, I tapped the wall with my fingertips: "Let's take a look at the bloody writing on the wall at the scene. The handwriting was done in one go, the writing style was calm, and it was written in block letters. Obviously, the suspect should be on the wall after the murder. From the handwriting, it is not difficult to see that he was very calm and calm during the writing process. Just imagine, such a bloody scene, he can still be so calm, which shows that he is a cold-faced killer. "

"It seems that our next exploration work must be carried out carefully!"

After Brother Ming finished speaking, he began to look down at the dead man's head that had been chopped off by the suspect.

"Severe craniocerebral injury, the wound is fatal." Brother Ming used his hands to brush away the hair covered with blood clots and glanced at the shattered wound.After the observation was over, he began to search indoors for the cause of injury.

Brother Ming's gaze was like the beam of a flashlight, and he began to analyze every item in the house.

Finally, he settled on the slightly tilted bedside table.

There was a small spot of dried blood at the sharp corner of the cabinet, and a few long hairs stuck to the blood.Because the brown-red bedside table is similar in color to blood, I didn't notice this important position when extracting fingerprints.

"The lower body of the deceased showed signs of sexual activity." Lao Xian helped the glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose.

Brother Ming glanced at the red and swollen genitals of the deceased: "Go back and extract the vaginal swab and see if you can detect DNA."

"Xiaolong, leave the body to me and Lao Xian now, you take Ye Qian to re-examine the room, don't miss any details." Brother Ming ordered.

I nodded, picked up my survey box and Ye Qian walked towards the balcony.

Although the indoor area of ​​the crime scene is small, there are many traces and evidence involved. It took us a full three hours to complete the investigation and send the body to the funeral parlor for autopsy.

As a trace inspector, I only extracted one spiked shoe print that was useless to the investigation of the case. The shoe print has no research value, so I went to the funeral parlor with Brother Ming and the others to help.

According to the regulations of our city bureau, all autopsies involving corpses must be carried out in the funeral parlor. On the one hand, it is because the funeral parlor has relevant supporting corpse storage equipment, which is often called a corpse freezer; on the other hand, it is also out of respect for the deceased respect.We Chinese have a traditional concept that the dead should be buried in the earth for peace. Before burial, the funeral home is the best destination for the corpse.

Our funeral parlor in Yunxi City has a well-equipped forensic anatomy room. Because the city bureau has recognized our criminal technology room, the equipment in the anatomy room is more than one grade higher than other cities.

Half an hour later, the corpse was taken out of the blue body bag, and the blood clots, sticky like glue, were firmly attached to the dissecting bed as the corpse moved.

Brother Ming took out a small electric saw from a toolbox printed with "Craniotomy Electric Saw", and he quickly inserted the power cord into the three-phase socket on the dissecting bed. The moment the current was connected, accompanied by With a buzzing sound, the cutting gear began to spin rapidly.

Brother Ming pressed the red button on the handle with his thumb, and the chainsaw changed from "furious" to "quiet".

After debugging, he put the chainsaw aside for standby, and took out a "lancet" from a pack of dissection tools arranged in an orderly manner with his left hand, doing meticulous disinfection work.

It seems that Brother Ming is going to start the autopsy from the head of the deceased.I stood aside without making a sound.

Crash.Brother Ming pinched the blade with his right hand, stabilized the dead man's head with his left hand, and quickly drew a circle along the temple.

Bang!Mingo threw the used lancet into the groove of the dissecting bed, making a crisp metallic sound.

I saw him holding the dead man's head with both hands, fiddled with the incision up and down with his fingers, looking for a suitable incision for exerting force.

Stinging, with the sound of the scalp being lifted, a white skull full of capillaries appeared in front of us.There is a very eye-catching triangular concave-shaped bone fracture on the skull.

Hum, hum, the sound of the craniotomy chainsaw sounded again in the dissection room.

六

I remember the first time I saw brother Ming open his head, I almost vomited out all the food that day.Fortunately, I have become a little numb these years, but just like this, I still dare not face the scene in front of me. Ye Qian, who was standing beside me, walked out of the dissecting room without a sound.

A few minutes later, a coconut shell-like skull was gently placed on the dissecting table.Brother Ming lowered his head to study carefully and then said: "This is the first fatal injury. The suspect should have grabbed the head of the deceased and slammed into the sharp corner of the bedside table to kill him, and then started the next step of dismembering the body. "

"Brother Ming, are you saying that the suspect's beheading of the deceased is also an act of venting anger?" I asked.

"Yes, it can be basically concluded. And have you found a problem?"

"what?"

"Except for a large amount of blood on the bed, there was very little spattered blood on the ground. You must know that the entire neck of the deceased was cut off, and the carotid artery was cut directly. In the human body, the blood pressure of the carotid artery is very high. Cutting the neck open, there must be blood splatters everywhere at the scene, it is impossible to just stay on the bed."

I noticed this detail when I was surveying the ground, so I agree with Brother Ming's explanation.

"According to my analysis, the suspect should have killed the deceased first, stopped for a while, and then began to chop off the deceased's head with a knife. At this time, the blood circulation in the deceased's body stopped, so the blood from the carotid artery did not spray in large quantities. splash."

"No wonder the blood on the sheets is mostly flowing." I recalled the scene.

"By the way, Guoxian, bring me the kitchen knife you picked up at the scene." Brother Ming turned his head and glanced at the kraft paper evidence bag placed on the ground.

Lao Xian responded, took out a pair of scissors from his pocket, cut the bag along the dotted line of the evidence bag, and the blood-stained silver-white metal kitchen knife appeared in front of us again.

Brother Ming used the water pipe on the dissecting bed to wash away the blood on the neck of the corpse, and the section of the cervical vertebrae was quickly exposed.He aimed the notch on the kitchen knife at the cut surface of the bone, and said with certainty: "This is basically a knife for dismembering corpses."

At this time, I noticed a detail: "Brother Ming, do you see the linear sharp wound on the inner thigh of the corpse, does it look like it was caused by a scalpel?"

Brother Ming glanced at the direction of my finger, then he opened the wound with his hands and carefully observed the cut surface of the wound.

"The tool used by the suspect is very sharp, and it cannot be ruled out that it is a scalpel."

After he finished speaking, he took out a physical evidence soft ruler from the toolbox and pasted it on the wound.

"Ten centimeters."

After measuring one wound, move on to another.

"Ten point one centimeters."

"Ten point two centimeters."

"Ten centimeters."

……

Brother Ming measured all the wounds on his thigh, put down the tape measure and said:

"Judging from the section of the wound, the suspect definitely did not use a kitchen knife to complete these cuts, because the sharpness of the kitchen knife is not up to the mark. This is one. Second, it is not difficult to see from the wound that the suspect was in the process of cutting , has the habit of pressing, which rules out the possibility of the blade, because the other side of the blade is also very sharp, and if you press hard, it will cause self-injury. Third, the suspect's cutting technique is very skilled, and the wound is cut so precisely , Even I feel ashamed, this kind of technique may only be performed by excellent doctors. Combined with the characteristics of the cut surface of the wound, I personally prefer the scalpel."

"Brother Ming, will the suspect be with you?" I was curious about this.

"It is not very likely that the murderer is a forensic doctor, because the autopsy wound is much larger than this. The suspect's ability to draw such a precise incision wound may be due to the habit he has developed from frequent surgical operations."

"Latex gloves, a scalpel, and skilled cutting techniques, isn't the suspect a doctor by profession? And it is not difficult to see from the scene that there must be a great hatred between the suspect and the deceased, otherwise this extreme method would not be used. As long as there is hatred, it means that an acquaintance committed the crime. We only need to check whether there is a doctor in the deceased's life circle. If the doctor has conflicts with the deceased, the case can basically be solved." I spoke excitedly one by one. analyzed.

"But this is just our guess. Another way of thinking. What if the murderer has obsessive-compulsive disorder? He likes to cut the wound into the same size. What should we do? And latex gloves are not for doctors, are they?"

"This..." Brother Ming poured a basin of cold water down, and I was at a loss for words.

"Therefore, on-site analysis can only be an auxiliary means and cannot be preconceived. We must also find enough conclusive evidence to accurately characterize it."

"Hmm." What matters in handling a case is evidence, not fanciful reasoning. I very much support Brother Ming's statement.

"You know, each of our conclusions may cause the brothers in the criminal police team to lose their legs, so we must find objective evidence at the scene." Brother Ming added another sentence for fear of dampening my enthusiasm.

"clear."

"Okay, let's start the autopsy next step. Before the autopsy, let's take a look at the corpse spots." He turned over the corpse and pressed hard against the dark red cloud-like spots on the dead man's back.

After several times in succession, Brother Ming turned the body over again:

"Based on the analysis of the degree of coagulation of the blood at the scene and the condition of the corpse spots, the exact time of death of the deceased should be within four hours before calling the police, that is, around 01:30 in the middle of the night."

"Hey, Brother Ming, look, there are bleeding points in the perineum and armpits of the corpse." While Brother Ming was analyzing the time of death, Lao Xian was taking a long cotton swab to extract the vaginal wipes of the deceased, so the condition of the deceased's lower body , he could see clearly.

Brother Ming squatted down and glanced at the place where Lao Xian's fingers were.

"The skin tissue has scratch marks, and the wound is fresh."

After speaking, he raised the dead man's arm again and glanced at the armpit.

"It is also a scratch of skin tissue, and the wound is fresh."

"Could it be that the deceased shaved it himself? Nowadays, many women have the habit of shaving their body hair." I said casually.

"How do you know so clearly?" Ye Qian's words slowly drifted into my ears.

Maybe I was too involved and didn't notice that she was already standing behind us.My face flushed a little. After all, I got all this "knowledge" from the small magazines sold on the train, so I couldn't see it.

I was racking my brains trying to find a decent reason to prevaricate, but Ye Qian looked down and said generously: "I can be sure that the wound on the deceased's armpit was caused by the suspect, and it was definitely not scratched by myself. But I don't know if the hair on the lower body of the deceased is, maybe, expert Si Yuanlong can explain it to us." Ye Qian glanced at me maliciously.

"How do you judge?" I hurriedly changed the subject.

"Do you know that there is something called depilatory cream in this world? Even if the deceased has no money and can't afford it, he should be able to afford a razor for a few dollars, right? But during the on-site inspection, I didn't find anything similar to this Related things show that the deceased did not have the habit of shaving her body hair, so her armpit hair can only be shaved off by the suspect." Ye Qian did not forget to give me a hand while explaining.

"According to what Ye Qian said, the hair on the perineum of the deceased should also be shaved off by the suspect, and the wound is basically the same." Lao Xian adjusted his glasses.

"After the suspect killed the deceased, he used a scalpel to shave off the body hair of her private parts. What was he going to do?" Knowing this conclusion, I felt a little uncomfortable.

"Have you forgotten the tragedy at the scene? What do you think this pervert can't do?" Ye Qian said it reasonably.

"How is the investigation and visit from the criminal police team going?" Brother Ming rinsed off the sticky blood on his hands a little, and asked Ye Qian who was standing beside me and talking eloquently.

"I just called, it's ongoing, nothing substantial yet."

"Okay, then let's hurry up and dissect the corpse so that we can proceed to the next step." After speaking, Brother Ming picked up the scalpel and made a wound on the abdomen of the corpse.

Seven

Three hours later, Brother Ming took Ye Qian and me to the criminal police team, and Fat Lei followed Lao Xian back to the department to start the physical, chemical and biological tests.

As soon as he walked into the conference room of the criminal police team, Captain Xu got up and greeted him.

"Well, do you have any clues?"

"Not yet. The deceased had been sexually assaulted. The possibility of rape and murder is not ruled out, but we have to wait for Guoxian's further examination results." Brother Ming sat down on the stool in the conference room, feeling a little tired.

I took out a few cigarettes from my pocket and distributed them to everyone present.Brother Ming took it, lit it with a lighter, took a deep breath and asked:
"Captain Xu, what's the result of your investigation?"

"According to the information we have now, the deceased Wang Xiaole was a teacher. She was kind and respectful to her parents. She had almost never had any grudges with anyone, and she was going to get married in two days."

"It's late enough to get married when you're almost 30 years old."

"Oh, no, it was a second marriage. The deceased had been married once before. The deceased's mother had always disagreed with the marriage between her and her ex-husband, so her first marriage lasted for more than a year."

"Have you found out the situation of the deceased's ex-husband?" Brother Ming pressed the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray in front of him.

"I found out, his name is Wu Da, he is 31 years old, he is from this city, and he has no fixed job."

"Can this person be contacted now?"

"The phone is turned off. We are investigating. We analyze him as the most suspected suspect."

"Could it be because the deceased was about to get married, and the deceased's ex-husband held a grudge, so he raped and killed the deceased?" I expressed my guess.

Team Xu nodded after hearing this: "The possibility of what you said is very high."

Brother Ming didn't make any response to my conjecture, but immediately asked: "Has the situation of the deceased's fiancé been verified?"

"I found out, his name is Huang Chong, he is 36 years old, he works as a customer manager in Huaibin branch of our city postal bank, and he is also married twice."

"Does Huang Chong know anything about the deceased's previous emotional experience?"

"Director Leng, do you suspect that the deceased may have concealed his first marriage, and now his fiancé Huang Chong found out, so he became angry because of this and killed Wang Xiaole?" Team Xu said calmly.

"That's also a possibility." Brother Ming didn't refute.

"I also doubted this, but according to our investigation, the possibility of Huang Chong committing the crime was basically ruled out."

"Oh?"

"First, Huang Chong's family's conditions are very good, and he himself has an annual salary of hundreds of thousands. The reason why he chose to marry the deceased was also forced by his parents."

"Secondly, Huang Chong has no feelings for the deceased at all. It is impossible for him to do such an extreme behavior."

"Thirdly, Huang Chong is a prostitute. He was hanging out with a female subordinate at the time of the incident, and he didn't leave the house until nine o'clock this morning. This has been confirmed. According to my guess, Huang Chong is not Maybe he didn’t know about the deceased’s previous relationship experience. After all, the two of them were introduced to each other, and it’s impossible for the matchmaker to keep silent about such an important situation. Can paper hold fire?”

"Is there any child between the deceased and his ex-husband?" The fiancé was denied, and Brother Ming turned his attention to his ex-husband again.

"No. If you have children, maybe you won't get a divorce."

"The murderer is Wu Da, the bastard Wu Da." Just as we were discussing the case, a heart-piercing shout came from the yard of the criminal police team, and it could be distinguished from the tone that it was a woman.

Sensing the movement, we all got up and went out to check the situation.

In the yard, a woman in her 50s was slumped on the ground, and another man of her age was trying to help her up from the ground.

"It's the parents of the deceased." Team Xu whispered in Brother Ming's ear.

"You said the suspect is Wu Da, how did you know?" I stepped forward and helped pull the woman up.

"Besides him, there can be no one else. I know my daughter. She has never been in contact with outsiders. The two of them just got divorced, and my daughter was killed. Besides this beast, who else is there?" The woman said loudly shouting.

"I don't believe Xiao Wu can do such a thing." The man beside him shook his head rationally.

"What time is it, you still speak for that bastard! Now that your daughter is gone, you bastard is still speaking for others. I will fight you." The woman beat the man's chest frantically.

The man pushed the woman back violently, and pointed at the woman's forehead with tears in his eyes: "You take one animal at a time, one animal at a time, I, an old man, can see how Xiao Wu treats our family. Look at you, an elder, Xiao Wu used three rounds of his hard-earned hard-earned money to buy nutrition for you, but you didn't even look at it and was thrown out of the door; People scold you, what qualifications do you have? You forced your daughter to divorce him. Qian, how can he compare to Xiao Wu? Even if it is a divorce, Xiao Wu has transferred the house he bought to Lele's name. How can he be sorry for our family Lele? Which child is not the heart of his parents? ? Before the police investigate clearly, I don’t believe it was Xiao Wu’s doing it. I don’t believe it even if I was killed.”

"You...Okay, okay! Since you are speaking for the murderer, I will divorce you tomorrow!" The woman sat down in the yard and burst into tears.

"This is the Public Security Bureau, not a place for you to mess around, go home!" The man pulled the woman up from the ground.

The woman may have been intimidated by the man's powerful aura, and her crying stopped abruptly.

The man hunched over and walked in front of us. He said to us with sadness and apology: "Comrade police, I leave the matter of my daughter to you."

"Don't worry, we will definitely give the two elders an explanation." Perhaps infected by the man's actions just now, Team Xu replied sincerely.

The man raised his head and glanced at the faces of everyone present with begging eyes. After that, he didn't stay too long, and walked out of the courtyard with hobbled steps.

When the figures of the old couple disappeared from my sight, I couldn't help frowning.

"It seems that the suspect may not really be Wu Da."

"Huh? How do you say?" Brother Ming asked.

"I checked carefully, and the door lock of the deceased's house showed no other signs of being picked, let alone replaced. But the father of the deceased mentioned a detail just now, saying that Wu Da bought this house, so this house is very likely It's the wedding room between him and the deceased, so Wu Da won't have the key to the house."

"It stands to reason that there should be."

"That's the problem. The shoe prints at the scene are obvious. The murderer entered the room through the balcony window instead of the door. If the suspect is Wu Da, why didn't he use the key to open the door and enter?"

"Then explain to me why Wu Da has been shutting down since the incident? If he didn't have a ghost in his heart, why didn't he show up now?" Ye Qian was a little unhappy when I finally got a clue but I denied it. up.

"This..." She really stopped me from asking.

"Anyway, there must be something wrong with Wu Da. I think the reason why the deceased's father spoke up for Wu Da is probably because he was deceived by Wu Da."

"I don't think so, because I carefully observed a series of actions and expressions of the deceased's father. If this Wu Da was always lying, he wouldn't show his true feelings so much." I shook my head, denying Ye Qian's words. idea.

Eight

Diring, just as Ye Qian and I were arguing, the Samsung mobile phone in Captain Xu's pocket rang.

The moment he took out his mobile phone, I saw a series of fixed-line numbers displayed on the screen, "6385XX6". The fixed-line numbers starting with "63" in our place are basically the special numbers of our city bureau. .

"Hey, old Zhao, what's the matter?"

As soon as Team Xu called him Lao Zhao, I guessed the identity of the other party——Zhao Baogang, the head of the Action Technology Detachment of our Municipal Bureau.As the high-tech core department of our Public Security Bureau, the Action Technology Detachment must not bring bad news.

"What? Wu Da found it?"

"It's really good news." The corner of my mouth raised.

"Where? What? On the road? Okay, okay, okay, I'll wait in the yard."

Captain Xu hung up the phone and said to us emotionally: "Director Leng, Wu Da was found by the action team. He is now in their car and will be sent to us immediately."

"Well, this Wu Da is not a suspect yet, so he can't enter the interrogation room. Ye Qian, go find an interrogation room, and I'll come to question you later."

"Okay, Director Leng."

"Xiaolong, go get some blood collection cards, collect Wu Da's blood sample and send it to Guoxian to see if the semen in the deceased's body is his."

"clear."

Everything was ready, and in just three or two cigarettes, a red Wuling Hongguang van with an antenna on the top drove into the yard of the criminal police team.

Hula!The door of the van was pulled open, and a man with a haggard face stepped out of the car.

I have seen his household registration photo. He is Wu Da, about 1.8 meters tall, with a strong build, short hair, a square face, a hooked nose, and plain clothes.Because his identity as a suspect cannot be determined yet, according to relevant regulations, he was not handcuffed.

"Your name is Wu Da?"

"What's the matter? I asked the two police officers in the car all the way, but they didn't say anything, and now they brought me to the criminal police team. What crime did I commit?" He was a little agitated.

"Wang Xiaole is dead." Brother Ming said bluntly.

"What? Police officer, are you joking? We were still together last night, how could she be dead?" Although Wu Da retorted, I could feel that his spirit was on the verge of collapse.

"I'm not in the mood to joke with you. I'll say it again. Wang Xiaole died. He was killed at home just last night." Brother Ming frowned and said it again.

"Impossible, this is not true, this must not be true." Wu Da grabbed his hair with both hands, the veins on his forehead bulged, and shouted at Brother Ming.

"Wang Xiaole is really dead!" Brother Ming emphasized his tone.

"Lele is dead? Lele is dead? Lele is dead?" Wu Da nervously paced around the yard helplessly.

"Director Leng, this..." Team Xu was worried that the other party would not be able to withstand such a blow.

Brother Ming interrupted him with a wave of his hand, without giving any explanation.

Perhaps only I who stood by the side knew the reason. After all, I knew Brother Ming was a ruthless character since I was a child. Everything he did had his reason.

The reason why he directly told Wu Da the result when he got off the car was actually two considerations: first, to test whether Wu Da was sincere to the deceased, after all, the pain of parting from life and death cannot be faked.The second is to give him some blows first, and then let him recover in the shortest possible time. The purpose is to make the following inquiries go smoothly.

To give the simplest example, if a person's hand is cut, his first reaction is probably not to listen to anything other than crying out for pain. If he wants to know the reason, he can only tell when his pain lessens a little. You, in fact, are the truth.

There are also certain considerations in choosing to tell the situation in the yard.Because only me, Brother Ming, and Ye Qian will be present for the next questioning. If the news of Wang Xiaole's death is revealed in the questioning room, if Wu Da gets too emotional and does something unpredictable, we may not be able to Take control of the scene.It is not uncommon for people involved in the case to self-injure or self-mutilate because they cannot bear the blow.Rather than doing this, it is better to let him release it in the yard. After all, there are more than a dozen people standing in the yard, and the safety is relatively high.

"Ye Qian, pour him a glass of water, and then take him to the inquiry room." Brother Ming glanced at Wu Da who was in a slightly calm mood and said.

Before Wu Da entered the interrogation room, I took out a lancet to take his blood sample, and asked the investigators in the team to quickly deliver it to the old sage in our department.

Not long after, Ye Qian was sitting by the computer in the inquiry room, ready to record, while Brother Ming and I lit a cigarette.Wu Daze, who sat in front of us, had a dull expression and said nothing.

Brother Ming flicked the ash into the ashtray, and asked, "What's your relationship with the deceased Wang Xiaole?"

When Wu Da heard the word "dead", his body trembled involuntarily. Obviously, he hadn't fully recovered from the previous blow.

"The more you waste time, the more likely the murderer will escape. If you really love Wang Xiaole, please adjust yourself in the shortest possible time." Brother Ming persuaded.

"Understood, officer." Wu Da nodded vigorously.

"It's still the question just now, what is your relationship with the deceased? Answer me truthfully."

"I'm Lele's ex-husband." When Wu Da said the word "ex-husband", there was obviously some unwillingness in his words.

"How did you two meet?"

"The two of us are classmates." Wu Da's tone eased a little.

"How are you two feeling?"

"I really love her."

"And what about her feelings for you?"

"She loves me too."

"Then why did you two divorce?"

"It's all because of Lele's mother, but I can't blame her entirely. I am also responsible."

"Can you tell me something about you and Wang Xiaole?" In order not to cause extra irritation to him, Brother Ming tried his best to ask in a relaxed tone.

nine

Wu Da nodded, and slowly opened his mouth:

"Lele and I were in the same class from elementary school to university. It can be said that we are childhood sweethearts. We officially fell in love in the second year of junior high school. It has been more than ten years now."

Having said that, he let out a long sigh:
"I was a child who was not able to live up to expectations since I was a child. I had poor academic performance and was often called a parent." I didn't think of studying hard until high school, but it was too late. No matter how hard I tried, I only got a general undergraduate course in physical education. .

"Back then, Lele gave up his dream East China Normal University in order to go to the same school as me, and chose to live with me in a small secondary school in this city."

"For four years in college, I started studying crazily and exercising my body in order to find a stable job when I graduated, so that Lele would not suffer by my side." But when I really went to the society, Only then did I realize that looking for a job is not about you being wanted by outstanding people, but also about personal connections.

"My parents are both farmers facing the loess and their backs to the sky. I have completed four years of college and still bear more than 2 foreign debts. How can I have money to dredge up relationships and find a job?" unemployment.

"Lele is much luckier than me. There are fewer people applying for her major. After graduation, she became a popular one after graduation. She was hired by a school as soon as she left school."

"This matter is mixed for me. The happy thing is that the two of us finally solved one. The worrying thing is that I know my situation very well. I know that no matter which school it is, the number of physical education teachers recruiting is very high. There are relatively few restrictions, but like those of us who study physical education, they either become teachers, athletes or coaches. The latter two are not realistic for me, and only the profession of physical education teachers has some hope. But this is it A small hope is also a luxury for me."

Wu Da smiled wryly and said: "Since it is so difficult to find a stable job, then I simply give up. As long as I am diligent, I cannot afford to support Lele. Lele also supported my approach back then. Since then, I I started doing small jobs, delivered couriers, worked as a salesperson, and did a few part-time jobs by myself, and it took me only half a year to pay off all the foreign debts."

"After paying off the debt, I began to think about my marriage with Lele. After all, we were not young at that time."

"I have no money, no house, no job, and before I walked into Lele's house, I was kicked out by her mother." I don't blame them, I can understand the difficulties of being a mother, she I also want Lele to live better.

"Since then, I have started to work hard in order to earn a shelter for Lele." But no matter how hard I worked, no matter how hard I ate or drank, I only earned less than 15 in two years. Can't afford the down payment.And Lele was already 26 years old at the time, and a girl at her age had already reached the age of marriage.Her mother has not recognized the existence of my son-in-law at all these years. Sometimes she would take Lele to go on a blind date in front of me, obviously embarrassing me. Because of this, their mother and daughter have turned their faces countless times .

"There was a time when I thought about giving up, not because I was unable to persevere, but because I didn't want to see Lele live in such pain. This is not the result I want."

"But when Lele heard that I was going to give up, she only said one sentence to me: 'Life is my person in this life, and death is my ghost.' This sentence is like a shot of medicine. my body."

"After another year, I used my savings for many years to barely buy a second-hand house in Shancheng District." But I didn't know it was a dilapidated house until I bought it.But Lele didn't care at all, and took out his frugal money to simply renovate the house.

"The matter of the house was settled, and Lele took me to find her parents again." Her father was a more reasonable elder, but her mother was the only one who cared about my identity very much.In her eyes, I'm just a clown who can't stand on the stage.Having a garage, a decent job, and social status are the minimum criteria for her to choose a son-in-law.

"According to her mother's request, it is impossible for me to be with Lele in this life. We are too old to wait any longer. In the end, Lele was cruel. Without her mother's permission, the two of us secretly went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register. Remember, but this marriage is not even a fart in the eyes of her mother."

"Have you two held a banquet yet?" Brother Ming smoked a cigarette from the cigarette case.

"No, the two of us just invited a few close friends to sit together."

"Are there any of your friends who are doctors?" Brother Ming asked casually in order not to startle the snake.

"No, almost all of our circles are teachers, and we don't know any doctors."

"What job do you do now?"

"Run business for others. Ever since I divorced Lele, I have no motivation to work hard any longer. Let's just count it as a day." Wu Da looked up at the roof in a daze.

"Continue to what you just said, what happened later?" Brother Ming was asking, and I caught a glimpse of Wu Da staring at the cigarette case on the table, as if he wanted to smoke.

I knocked one out of the pack and threw it over.

Click!The swaying flame ignited the cigarette, and a puff of white smoke was brought into his lungs, and he spit it out from his nasal cavity in an instant.This repeated cycle is a way for men to relieve their distress.

When the cigarette was half smoked, Wu Da spoke again: "After obtaining the certificate with Lele, she moved out from home to live with me privately, but her mother secretly assigned a few house keys from us. , came here every three days to make trouble, and every time I was kicked out of the house, saying that I lied to her daughter and that I was a jackal."

"Have you ever resented Lele's mother?"

Wu Da shook his head and smiled wryly: "It's a lie to say that you don't hate, but I really don't understand. I have a heart for Lele and a pair of hands that can bring her happiness. Why is she so aggressive?"

"How did you two get to the point of divorce?" Brother Ming asked the key point.

"After one year of marriage, Lele's mother has been in trouble for a year. Maybe it's because Lele doesn't like her at all. I didn't expect that one day she would say that if we don't divorce, she will die in front of us and become a ghost. Haunt me to death, let me die badly."

"Did she really do that?"

"Yes, we drank pesticides in our house. If we hadn't rescued him in time, we would have died."

"It's because of this that Wang Xiaole divorced you?"

Wu Da shook his head: "It wasn't Lele who left me, it was I who wanted to leave. I don't want Lele to be separated from her mother just because I'm useless. It's the best choice for me to quit. In the end I ended up with Lele only agreed to my plea when she was forced to die."

"Do you still have the keys to your house?" I interjected.

"Have."

"Show me." I walked up to him and held out my right hand.

After hearing this, Wu Da took off the key chain from his belt and handed it to me.

I picked up the keys, carefully observed each key, and returned it after confirming that there was a key to the door of the crime scene.

Seeing that I had stepped aside, Brother Ming asked, "Did you go to Shancheng Community, your home, last night?"

"I've been." Wu Da replied very straightforwardly.

"When did you go and when did you leave?"

"I went there after nine o'clock in the evening, and left after twelve o'clock."

"Go for what?"

"It was Lele who called me over, no, no, nothing." Wu Da answered this question a little evasively.

Just when Brother Ming was about to continue asking questions, Lao Xian called by coincidence.

Ten

I stood next to Brother Ming, and vaguely heard Lao Xian's very magnetic voice:

"The blood sample was matched, and the semen in the dead body belonged to Wu Da."

Brother Ming hung up the phone with confidence:

"It's a man. If you do it, you do it. If you don't do it, you don't do it. There's nothing to hide. What happened to you two last night?"

"I……"

"Now that everyone is dead, you still don't want to tell the truth? How long are you going to hide it? Did the two of you have sex?" Brother Ming was straightforward.

"It happened, it happened." Wu Da blushed, glanced at Ye Qian who was typing on the keyboard in front of the computer, and replied a little embarrassed.

"Aren't you divorced? Are you still dating?" Brother Ming asked with narrowed eyes.

"I……"

Seeing him procrastinating so much, Brother Ming slapped it on the table and shouted loudly: "Tell me what happened that night carefully!"

Wu Da was really frightened by this move, and hurriedly opened his mouth to answer:

"Last night at around nine o'clock, I received a call from Lele. She said she was not feeling well and asked me to go see her. I was very worried at the time, so I ran back. Unexpectedly, when I opened the door and entered the room, Lele He just hugged me and kept kissing my mouth. I am a normal man, and when faced with the initiative of the woman I love so much, I couldn't control it for a while, and had sex with her in the house."

"How many times has it happened?"

"Two...twice."

"Go on."

"After we had a relationship, we took a shower first, and then cleaned the house as before. After finishing the work, Lele revealed the real purpose of calling me over this time."

"Real purpose?"

"She said that although we are divorced, her heart will always be with me. Last night happened to be her ovulation period. She is going to give birth to a child for me. When the child is mature, the man named Huang Chong will naturally leave her. She My mother will not bear to see her child without a father, so she will never separate the two of us."

"I know Lele's good intentions, but I am a man. In the end, I need the person I love the most to use such means to save this relationship. I really feel that I am living a humble life. Listening to what she said, I am not here I stay at home too much because I want to be alone."

"What time did you leave home?"

"About twelve o'clock."

"Where have you been since you left home?"

"I bought two bottles of liquor at the canteen and went to the Sishui River."

"You were there all night?"

"I got drunk last night and fell asleep on a wooden chair by the river. I slept until after eleven o'clock in the morning. The police found me and brought me here."

After hearing this, Brother Ming got up and said, "Okay, let's talk about this today."

"Xiaolong, go call Team Xu and take Wu Da to the investigator's office to watch over him for a while, and make a decision after the analysis of Guoxian's results."

"Understood, Brother Ming."

"Ye Qian, print out two copies of the interrogation materials, one for Team Xu, and the other for us to take away."

"Okay, Director Leng."

After finishing all this, it was already 01:30 noon. The three of us simply ate two mouthfuls of lunch in the criminal police team, and then rushed to our department without stopping.

As soon as Brother Ming got out of the car, he went straight into Lao Xian's laboratory.

"Guoxian, what's the matter? Have you finished analyzing the on-site inspection materials?"

"Okay!" Lao Xian's printer was running at high speed, and many patterns and texts with data were printed on blank A4 papers.

"I'll wait for you in the conference room."

A few minutes later, all members of our department were seated.Brother Ming signaled Ye Qian to pass Wu Da's interrogation materials to Fat Lei and Lao Xian.After the two of them finished reading, he opened the notebook.

"Next, let's analyze whether this Wu Da can rule out the suspicion. Xiaolong will talk first."

According to the order of on-site investigation, I was the first technician to enter the site, so under normal circumstances, Brother Ming likes to ask me to introduce the situation of trace inspection first. I thought about it for a while, and then said:

"Let me talk about the fingerprints at the scene first. At that time, I also did a lot of analysis indoors. The suspect was wearing latex gloves to commit the crime, and I did find Wu Da's fingerprints on the door of the crime scene. He was not wearing gloves when he entered the room."

"The second is the shoe prints. The suspect was wearing spiked shoes. I compared them carefully on the Internet. Since the spikes of the spiked shoes do not have a fixed installation method, it is temporarily impossible to determine the type of spiked shoes. When asking Wu Da, he He was wearing sneakers on his feet, and I found shoe prints with the same pattern as his soles in the corridor outside the scene of the crime, which shows that Wu Da probably arrived at the scene wearing the sneakers on his feet, not Spikes, that's pretty convincing."

"Also, there is no sign of prying on the lock cylinder of the indoor door. Wu Da has the indoor key in his hand, but the suspect entered the room by climbing the window. This is not in line with common sense. So I personally feel that Wu Da should not be murderer."

"Yeah." Brother Ming nodded.

"Jiao Lei, do you have any clues? Is there any surveillance equipment around the scene?"

Fat Lei shook his head like a rattle: "Shancheng Community is an uninhabited ghost area. There are only three houses in Building 5 where the incident occurred, and two of them have not seen people coming back all year round. The community has almost no supporting foundation. facilities, let alone surveillance.”

"That Guoxian, tell me about it."

Hearing Brother Ming call his name, Lao Xian put the interrogation materials in his hand on the table: "I agree with Xiaolong. According to my test results, Wu Da should not be a suspect."

"Oh?" I pricked up my ears.

"Although the semen in the deceased's body was left by Wu Da, according to the test results, I can analyze that the deceased had sex with him voluntarily. The two should get along very well that night."

"All of this can be analyzed?" Fat Lei stared at Lao Xian with his eyes wide open as if he were looking at a monster.

"Don't interrupt." Brother Ming taught him a lesson.

Lao Xian pushed his glasses habitually: "According to Wu Da's information, he had sex with the deceased on the bed in the bedroom, but I got Wu Da's semen samples from the toilet seat and shower area of ​​the bathroom." This shows that the two of them should have taken a bath after having sex, and I detected the composition of shower gel on the swab sample of the corpse surface, which is consistent with Wu's confession."

"Also, I extracted a brand new pair of white women's underwear under the bed in the bedroom, on which Wu Da's semen was detected, and then I found a pair of red women's underwear with stains in the washing machine in the bathroom. On the underwear, I only found the DNA of the deceased. There is only this pair of dirty underwear in the whole house, and my analysis should be that the deceased changed it that night."

"Just imagine, if Wu Da forced the deceased to have sex with him, how could the deceased take a leisurely bath and change into a pair of clean underwear after being raped? So I judge that the deceased had a relationship with Wu Da, which is extremely Possibly voluntary."

"Brother Xian, do you mean that Wu Da had no motive to kill someone?" I asked back.

"If it's according to the interview material, then he really didn't have any motive to kill someone."

Brother Ming tapped the table rhythmically with his fingers:

"Through my observation, I also feel that Wu Da did not lie. His painful expression in the yard of the criminal police team cannot be faked. This is one. Second, Wu Da's confession basically has Some on-site material evidence can prove it. He didn’t know the situation of our on-site investigation at all, but his confession was consistent with some of our on-site investigation, which is enough to show that his words may be true. I think Wu Da temporarily Suspicion can be ruled out, do you have any other opinions?"

"Actually, there is one more thing I forgot to mention." Just as I was about to say "no", Lao Xian hurriedly interjected.

"Which point?"

"Did we smell a choking smell when we first entered the scene?"

"Yes, there is such a thing." I remember the smell deeply, so I hurriedly replied.

"After my inspection, it's pepper. The pepper came from the deceased's home."

"You mean to say that the suspect turned the kitchen so messy just to find pepper?" I was surprised.

"It should be like this." Lao Xian nodded and replied.

"Looking for pepper powder at the scene shows that the suspect didn't know the situation in the deceased's home. It used to be Wu Da's home. If he was looking for pepper powder, he probably wouldn't have messed up the kitchen. So from here You can rule out his suspicion at all." I followed the old sage's train of thought to come up with a point of view.

"Yes, that's what I want to express." After Lao Xian finished speaking, he clamped the identification report in his hand.

"But here comes the question again. Why did the suspect sprinkle pepper at the scene of the crime? Could it be for sterilization?" As I spoke, I cast my gaze on Brother Ming's face.

Brother Ming exchanged glances with me and spread his hands.

In many cases, the suspect's modus operandi is also very strange. Some seemingly unpredictable behaviors may be just additional actions of the suspect. Since it cannot be considered, it can only be let go.

"Guoxian, have you found anything else?"

"It's like this. I collected a large number of plant cell tissues around the spikes. Your analysis will help you solve the case." Lao Xian said and pulled out another report.

"Plant cell tissue? Could it be the sawdust from the spikes? After all, the laminate flooring was laid on site. What's the fuss about it?"

"The sawdust on the laminate flooring is the product of high temperature and high pressure, and it is impossible to have cell tissue fluid. And the plant cells I extracted on site have tissue fluid."

"Fresh plant cells?"

"Ah."

"That's not surprising. There is a large forest behind the building at the scene of the crime. It is normal for a gust of wind to blow in some plant seeds." I don't think this is of any use to solve the case.

"It's not normal." Lao Xian said thoughtfully.

"Brother Xian, can you stop being tricky?" I urged.

"Most of these plant cell debris are embedded in the depressions of the spikes. In other words, the debris was brought in by the suspect's shoes, rather than accidentally scraped into the room. Among these plant debris, we A total of two cell layers were found, the outermost layer of dead cells and the innermost layer of living cells."

"What does this mean?"

"If you want to understand more thoroughly, here is some knowledge about botany." Lao Xian cleared his throat, and the few of us tactfully did not interrupt.

"On the surface of trees, we will find a phenomenon that the bark is actually waterproof."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fat Lei suddenly laughed out loud. I tilted my head and glanced at him, and then laughed too.

In the department, I have the strongest relationship with Fat Lei. If he doesn't open his mouth, I know he must be imagining the scene where the puppy pees.

"You two, after listening to Guoxian's words, what are you laughing at?" Brother Ming tapped his pen on the table to signal us to be quiet.

Fat Lei and I restrained our smiles and looked like good students who listened carefully.

Lao Xian then explained: "The reason why the bark is waterproof is because the twigs of the tree gradually grow xylem over time, and as the xylem splits, the cells thicken layer by layer, and the branches gradually grow. The ground becomes thicker, and the outermost cells begin to divide, producing a kind of 'cork' cell, which has an impermeable substance inside, and they become hard and thick, forming the bark. In fact, the bark The cells on the outside are all dead."

At the end of hearing it, I suddenly understood what Lao Xian wanted to express.

"You mean, the suspect climbed some kind of tree before entering the room, so he left this kind of plant tissue with dead cells on the surface and living cells on the inside?"

"Yes, that's pretty much what it means."

At this time, Brother Ming opened his mouth: "If the suspect is a tree trunk climbing outside the crime scene, after a long walk, the plant tissue attached to the sole of the shoe will fall off, and a large amount will not remain at the crime scene. It shows that the tree the suspect climbed is very close to the scene of the crime."

"Could it be the woods behind the unit building?" Ye Qian hurriedly replied.

"Yes, only there is eligible."

"That is to say, the suspect was lying on the ground in the woods beforehand, waiting for an opportunity to commit crimes?" I suddenly realized.

Brother Ming closed the notebook:
"Now is the best light of the day. Hurry up and go to the office to get tools. Today, we must find the tree where the suspect stepped on. Maybe there, the suspect left us a vital clue!"

A few minutes later, we packed up and set off, heading straight to the foot of the mountain in Shancheng Community.There is no security in the community, and there is no gate to stop it. The investigation vehicle drove straight in with police lights flashing all the way.

There are nine buildings built along the foot of the mountain in the community, with building No. 5 at the crime scene as the midpoint, and four buildings in the east and west.There is a row of green barbed wire about three meters high between the building and the mountain. The barbed wire is connected in sections. The side close to the community is supported by several inclined metal pipes. The shape is very similar to the guardrail of a tennis court on a university campus.

The mesh of the barbed wire is very dense. After measurement, gravel with a diameter of more than three centimeters can definitely be blocked, but this thin layer of thin wire is estimated to be difficult to stop large rocks. at this point.

Because the community is sparsely populated and usually unattended, the entire row of barbed wire is covered with thick floating dust.

"Fortunately, the weather is good and there is no snow, otherwise I would really have a problem." I said as I took the folding ladder out of the equipment box.

"Jiao Lei, Guoxian, you two go help Xiaolong." Brother Ming said with concern.

I smiled knowingly, as a thank you to him. Seeing Brother Ming nodding at me, I pulled out the ladder with a smile.

In fact, many people may not know that when I first started working, I was a deadly enemy with Brother Ming. A rather sweet old boy.

Swish!With the joint efforts of Fat Lei and Lao Xian, the two legs of the ladder were pulled out against the resistance.Although the ladder we use is printed with a very tall "on-site survey" logo, its essence is no different from the eight-character ladder used for ordinary decoration.

The ladder was set up, and I dressed and climbed to the top.

The barbed wire fence in the community is similar to that in the school. The top is a cylindrical metal pipe with a diameter of about five centimeters. The design of this metal pipe is mainly for the convenience of transportation and installation.

The suspect once squatted on a tree outside the barbed wire to step on the spot, so if he wanted to reach the murder scene, he had to climb over the barbed wire.According to the principle of "touching objects and leaving traces" in trace science, the floating ash on the top of the barbed wire will definitely expose the original smooth paint surface due to the scratches of the suspect.

The barbed wire fence is more than three meters high, and it is impossible for ordinary people to reach the top, so there are only suspects left.

Sure enough, as soon as I scanned it, I found a metal reflection.

"Yes! Here." I hurriedly got off the ladder and moved the horoscope ladder to the west by more than 30 centimeters.This time I took professional survey lights and climbed up the ladder again.When I looked closely at the two marks, I could clearly see the imprints of my fingers.

"Brother Ming, the latex glove print, this should be the suspect's climbing point. The five fingertips of the fingerprint are bent towards the crime scene, indicating that he turned over from the woods." I bowed my head and said. .

"Okay, this confirms our thinking. The suspect was indeed on the other side of the protective net on the night of the crime. According to Guoxian's analysis, he should be camping on a tree in the woods." Brother Ming looked up at me. Said.

"By the way, can you see if the suspect has found any traces?"

"I've seen it, no."

"No trace was found...the suspect did not return to the woods after committing the crime...then he should have left directly from the community." Brother Ming said to himself.

"Jiao Lei, is there any monitoring equipment around the community?"

"No, I've seen it."

"Oh." Brother Ming was a little disappointed.

At present, we don't know what the suspect looks like, nor whether he is a man or a woman. Unless a special target appears at a certain point in time, the video is of value for analysis.Taking this case as an example, we analyzed that the deceased died at around 01:30 in the middle of the night. If there is monitoring equipment in the community and someone is found to be in the community at this time, then he may be a suspect. The current dilemma is "A blind man walks in darkness".

"Ye Qian, contact the criminal police team and ask them to investigate around the neighborhood to see if any suspicious people have appeared after the incident, especially those who smell of blood. Let me know if there is anything."

"Okay, Director Leng." Ye Qian took out her mobile phone and quickly pressed a series of numbers.

twelve
Everything was arranged properly, and several of us successfully climbed over the barbed wire with the help of ladders.At the other end is a pine forest. It is not difficult to see from the thick fallen leaves on the ground that few people come to this place.

As soon as our feet landed, Lao Xian began to study the bark of each tree with a magnifying glass on his waist.Just as he was engrossed in his research, a tree with a crooked neck on the slope caught my attention.

There was hardly any litter under the other trees except fallen leaves, but there were a lot of purple bags scattered under this tree.

In order to find out, I walked over, and my actions also aroused Fat Lei's curiosity.

As the distance got closer, the handwriting on the packaging bag gradually became clearer. When the text information was clearly captured by me, scenes with mosaics appeared in my head instantly.

"Shubitz condoms." Before I could say anything, Fat Lei read out loud a string of small characters on the packaging bag.

"Damn, brother Lei, your eyesight is really good, you can read such small characters, admire, admire." I teased.

"I'm dizzy, there are so many, there are at least a hundred of them, and they are all of the same brand. This person is addicted, and he went to a place where no one comes to fight in the field?" Fat Lei picked up a branch and put it on the ground. Shouting and sighing.

"That's the tree." Old Xian's voice came from above us. I looked up and saw that he happened to be standing in front of this crooked-neck tree, pointing at the bark with his finger, looking very sure.

"What? Is there such a coincidence?" I walked up to the old Xian with incredible speed, and I was shocked by the scarred spikes on the bark.

"Look, these marks should be left by the suspect when he climbed last night, and they are still fresh." Lao Xian stretched out his hand and put the magnifying glass on top of the marks.

"Moreover, I have observed all the trees in the vicinity, and I can see only a few trees facing the crime room, and there are no traces on other trees, so I can be sure that this is the tree that the suspect stepped on. .” Lao Xian added.

"Judging from the dense new and old traces on the surface of the bark, it is not the first time the suspect has come here, and he should have come here often." I walked around the trunk.

"Xiaolong, the suspect wore gloves when he committed the crime, but he may not wear them when he climbs trees to increase resistance. Is there any way for you to deal with the fingerprints on the surface of this tree?" Brother Ming put his hopes on me .

"Just now I was ready at the unit." As I said that, I walked to the investigation box and took out a large bottle of light yellow powder from it.

"What is this?" Ye Qian was always so curious.

"This is a powder I bought from a Chinese medicine store called pine pollen."

"Pine pollen? What is it for?"

"It is the dried pollen of various plants of the same genus, such as masson pine and Chinese pine, and its main purpose is to reduce inflammation and stop bleeding."

"Can traditional Chinese medicine be used to extract fingerprints?" Ye Qian asked suspiciously.

I smiled confidently: "Either trace science is a subject that requires continuous and in-depth research. As long as you understand the special effects of pine pollen, you will not doubt it."

"All ears." Ye Qian pinched her waist with both hands.

I unscrewed the jar in my hand: "We know that what remains on the surface of the bark is mainly sweaty fingerprints on the skin of fingers."

"Well, that's common sense."

"Pine pollen is a kind of light yellow fine powder. When the flowers just bloom in spring, they can be collected by picking the flower spikes and drying them in the sun. It is also a traditional Chinese medicine. When using sweat fingerprints, the cell wall will combine with the protein in the fingerprint due to the adsorption force, thus firmly sticking the pollen to the fingerprint lines."

I looked at Ye Qian's confused look, and added: "To put it simply, pine pollen has a special liking for fingerprints on plant skins, and has a certain affinity."

Ye Qian couldn't tell that I was teasing her, so she hummed: "Anyone will say, if you have the ability, you can process the fingerprints on this crooked neck for me, and I want to see if this pine pollen is so good." magic."

I smiled, didn't answer, put on my mask and walked towards the tree trunk.

I took out the thermometer and measured the outdoor temperature, it was six degrees Celsius.

Seeing this value, I put the thermometer back with confidence.The main reason for measuring temperature is to rule out the presence of freeze fingerprints.

Now it is winter, because the sweat fingerprints also contain inorganic salts, and the inorganic salts have a certain degree of water absorption. When the temperature drops below the freezing point (zero degrees Celsius), the fingerprints will freeze to varying degrees, and the pine pollen is showing fingerprints. At that time, it is necessary to ensure that fingerprints can only be carried out in a liquid state. The current temperature is obviously above the freezing point, which eliminates my concerns.

The method of showing fingerprints with pine pollen is very foolish, just sprinkle it on simply and rudely, without any technical content, and in just one cigarette, I sprinkled the entire tree trunk with powder, and then I took out the inspection record book as a "Fan" cleared the excess powder on the trunk, and more than a dozen handprints with yellow powder appeared in front of us.

"You can't see the lines of the hand lines at all, how can you tell?" Ye Qian said the key point.Because if fingerprints want to identify a person, they rely on some detailed features on the fingerprints. Due to the unevenness of the bark, I can't see any features at all in the fingerprints I processed.

I raised my eyebrows, not worried at all because of this.Then I found a ruler from the toolbox and began to measure the length of the palm prints and the knuckle prints on the bark.

Several people looked at my actions curiously, wondering what kind of medicine I sold in my gourd.

After measuring the data of all the palm prints, I got an answer with confidence.

"Brother Ming, all the fingerprints on this tree were left by one person. Through a comprehensive analysis, it should be the suspect. The suspect is male and should be around 1.7 meters tall. If we can find this suspect, I will The length of the knuckle prints can be used to analyze whether he is a suspect."

"Really?" Ye Qian's big eyes flickered.

"Judging these is actually very simple. First of all, the size of the handprints is used to judge the gender. Men's palms are wider and their fingers are thicker than women's. There is also a numerical value for reference. I measure the full length of these palmprints and judge The suspect is male."

"Secondly, knowing the length of the palm, there is a formula that can calculate the approximate height of the suspect. Although the error exists, it is within the controllable range."

"Finally, the length of the knuckle print I want to talk about. According to normal understanding, we should know the small features of the suspect's fingerprints before we can identify the person, but this is not absolute. You stretch your palms."

Ye Qian followed my instructions and took off her gloves, revealing her white and slender right palm.

"Did you see the horizontal knuckle lines on your fingers?"

"Well, yes, what's the matter?"

"Except for the thumb, each of our fingers is divided into three sections by knuckle lines. The length between these three sections is almost different for everyone, and it is a specific value."

"Oh, I see. What you mean is that although the lines of the fingers can't be seen clearly now, we can measure the length of the suspect's knuckle print first. Once we find the suspect, you can measure his value again. Is it similar to the value we have, so that we can determine whether he is a suspect." Ye Qian suddenly realized.

"Let me correct you, this can only confirm that this person is suspected of committing a crime, because the length of the knuckle print is not fixed like a fingerprint line, it still has a lot of variables in it, such as dislocated finger joints The situation, or finger tendon rupture, will affect the value, so this can only be used as side evidence to assist in solving the case, and cannot be used as direct evidence for conviction."

"Okay, you're good!" Ye Qian was willing to admit defeat.

"Brother Ming, the tree trunk is finished, I'll go up and have a look."

Among the five of us, Fat Lei eats so much that he struggles to walk; Lao Xian has poor eyesight; Only I am the most suitable job, so I volunteered.

Fortunately, the tree is not tall, and the diameter of the trunk is only about [-] centimeters, so it is easy to climb.

Since the climbing was not difficult, I searched for the scratch marks left by the spikes all the way along the trunk, and finally, I stopped at the place where the scratch marks were most dense.

When I looked up towards the scene of the crime, the scene in front of me made me immediately understand the wonderful use of this tree.From the place where I squatted, I could see all the scene of the crime scene.Although curtains were installed in the bedroom and bathroom of the deceased, there was still a large gap, and because the floor where the deceased was located was relatively low, according to my current parallel distance calculation, it happened to be on the third and a half floors. Four or five meters.

At night, if the lights are turned on in the room, the deceased can clearly see them sleeping and going to the toilet. It can be said that all privacy is exposed to the outside.

I looked down at the root of the tree directly below, where the most concentrated condom packaging was.

"It is possible that only the suspect has been here, so the condoms under the tree may have been left by the suspect. So many condoms were not used when having sex with others. Could it be that the suspect often comes here spying on the dead from a tree and masturbating here with a condom?" A bold idea came to my mind.

"Brother Lei, do you see if there are any used condoms on the ground?" I lowered my head and shouted.

Fat Lei heard my call, got up and patted the dust off his buttocks, and walked towards the packing bag unsteadily.

After careful inspection, he gave me the exact answer: "No, all are empty packages."

"Did the suspect take away all the used condoms? It seems that this person is not simple." I squatted on the branch and pinched my chin thinking.

"What's wrong, little dragon?" Brother Ming raised his head and asked.

I recovered from my thoughts and described what I saw to everyone present.

"Well, what you said is very likely. Judging from the many condom bags under the tree and the large number of climbing marks on the tree trunk, the suspect may have been spying on the dead for a long time." Brother Ming nodded and said.

"If this is the case, then the suspect's criminal motive should be to focus on sex, but we did not find any signs of forced sexual assault on the deceased! If the suspect was spying on the deceased for a long time and masturbating here, then it should be during the crime It is more inclined to rape and murder." Lao Xian was a little puzzled.

"As for the motive of the crime, we are not yet able to explain it. According to my many years of experience, some criminals will change their motives in committing crimes. Take this case as an example, think about it. Is there such a situation? The suspect himself wanted to rape the deceased, but he accidentally killed him during the crime, which made the suspect lose the desire to rape, because the purpose of the rape did not succeed, and the body was torn apart in anger?" Brother Ming analyzed with a big brain. Come up with a reason.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out!" The question in Lao Xian's heart seemed to have a perfect answer.

"The suspect must have come here more than once. According to my observation of the barbed wire just now, the suspect only climbed over the protective net once on the day of the crime. His previous peeps were all down the mountain, not from the The community climbed over. The slope of the mountain is relatively large, and it is safest to wear spikes to prevent the soles of the feet from slipping.” I made a scientific and reasonable inference based on the spike marks left on the scene.

"Now the suspect is a little clearer. He is male, 1.7 meters tall, and has a criminal record of voyeurism." Ye Qian made a concluding speech at the side.

"But even if you know so much, there is nothing substantial to help solve the case." Fat Lei sat on the stone, took off his shoes, and knocked the fine sand in the shoes.

"Xiaolong, collect all the condom packages under the tree and see if you can process the fingerprints."

"understand!"

"Ye Qian, provide the outer packaging of these condoms to the criminal police, and ask them to find out where the manufacturers of these condoms are and how many supply points there are in Yunxi City."

"Okay, Director Leng." After Ye Qian finished speaking, she took out her mobile phone, took a clear photo on the wrapping paper and sent it.

After doing all this, we returned directly to the department.

It can be said that the investigation of the case is on thin ice. At present, there are only two clues to investigate. One is to investigate the source of the condom, and the other is the fingerprint on the condom package.

If these two lines are broken, then this case so far can only be said to have no clues.

In order to ensure that the fingerprints on the more than 100 packaging bags were processed correctly, Brother Ming volunteered to help me.After a night of hard work, the two of us faced a cruel reality that we had to accept. All the condom bags had no fingerprints.

In desperation, we can only wait for the investigation of another clue with apprehension.

At noon the next day, just after lunch, the sound of Ye Qian's motorcycle came from outside the yard.

"How is it? Is there any result?" I briefly wiped the oil stains on the corner of my mouth with a napkin and asked anxiously.

"I found out that this brand of condoms is not sold on the market."

"Really?" I was so excited when I heard the news.If it is a mass circulation product on the market, it is relatively difficult to check, but if it can only be obtained through special channels, it will be very targeted.

"Don't be too happy, just listen to me first." Ye Qian said very angrily, half a sentence, and left a half sentence.

"According to the investigation, these condoms are all free condoms purchased by our city's family planning department. They are available in the warehouses of the family planning departments in various districts and counties, and many of them have been distributed."

"I *, it's like I didn't say it. There are so many in the city, where can I check?" I was like a deflated ball, slumped on the chair.

"There is another piece of news, which is very strange, but I don't know if it has anything to do with our case." Ye Qian made a 180-degree turn.

"What news?" I seemed to grab a life-saving straw.

"The criminal police team received a report from the masses during the visit. At about three o'clock in the morning yesterday, a man snatched a padded jacket from a scavenger less than one kilometer south of the Shancheng community. According to the scavengers At that time, the whole body of this person was soaked, his hair was frozen, and he was shivering with cold."

"Has their criminal police team investigated this clue in depth?"

"Investigated, because of the dark sky, the scavengers didn't notice what the other party looked like at all."

"This happened during the time of the incident..." Mingo muttered to himself.

"How could there be such a coincidence?" Brother Ming shook his head while talking.

"Director Leng..." Ye Qian called out tentatively.

Brother Ming put away his right hand pinching his chin, raised his head and said to us:
"I don't believe it's a coincidence, so this line must be checked."

"Good!" We said in unison.

"If he is a suspect, there is only one explanation. He was stained with blood during the crime. In order not to attract attention, he chose to wash the blood stains on his clothes somewhere, because his whole body was wet, and the weather This action was due to the cold." Brother Ming began to guess the reason.

"Probably."

"Ye Qian, do you know where the scavengers are?" Brother Ming asked.

"Ok, I know."

"Okay, you lead the way, let's go to the scene to see."

After speaking, the five of us got into the survey vehicle and quickly found the place where the scavengers lived.

This is a small deserted alleyway. The alleyway runs from east to west. The entrance is on the west side of the alleyway near the road, and on the east side is a dead end. On the floor, a temporary shack was built to keep out the cold.

"Shoe prints!" In the past two days, I have been overwhelmed by the rows of irregular marks at the scene of the crime. These shoe prints are stored in my brain like scanned images. As soon as I got out of the car, I was Attracted by the shoe prints on the ground, he blushed and shouted out loudly.

Brother Ming walked to a string of shoe prints, bent down and observed carefully: "It seems that this person who snatched the padded jacket is really a suspect."

fourteen
"Huh, there is mud in the trenches around the dotted shoe prints?" Lao Xian squeezed a ball of blue-gray semi-solid soil with his hands and rubbed it back and forth in his hands, a foul smell came from his fingertips.

Brother Ming also brought the tip of his nose closer to smell it.

"Well, it's ditch mud."

Brother Ming didn't explain too much, walked up to the unkempt scavenger and asked, "Master, let me ask, did the person who snatched your clothes yesterday wear a coat?"

"No, he wants to wear a coat, so why is he grabbing my padded jacket?"

"What kind of padded jacket, can you describe it?" Brother Ming lowered his voice.

"The red ones, the ones with white stripes, I just picked them up from the trash can a few days ago, and before I was willing to wear them, I was snatched away by this little bastard." The scavengers were very angry.

Brother Ming turned to Fat Lei after hearing this and said: "You contact the criminal police team now, and according to the clothes described by the old man, let them call the surveillance along the surrounding area, and they should be able to find the suspect's trace."

"clear."

After finishing talking, Brother Ming turned on his phone and clicked on Google Maps. A small circle with blue light dots was displayed on the map. The position marked by the circle is the geographic coordinates where we are now.

"This alley is so dilapidated that not many people come here at ordinary times. The ditch mud on the spiked shoes is obviously brought by the suspect. As I thought, the murderer probably ran to a nearby place after committing the crime. The pond washes the blood off your body."

Speaking of this, he suddenly paused for a while, then he made a big gesture on the phone screen with the thumb and index finger of his left hand, and then said with certainty: "The nearest pond is 600 meters southeast of the crime scene. The straight-line distance to our place is no more than 50 meters, the weather is so cold and the suspect is wet, so he shouldn’t be able to run very far, let’s go and have a look.”

We hopped in the car, and the engine barely revved twice before we reached our destination.

The pond is not very big, only more than ten meters long and wide. It is a stagnant pond. Surrounding the pond are a few sparse farmlands, and there is no sign of reclamation in the farmland.

This phenomenon is very common in our Yunxi City. These lands are basically bought by developers to build communities, but due to various reasons such as broken capital chains, they can only be abandoned here.

We walked around the pond and soon found a place where the soil had subsided badly.

Old Xian rolled up his sleeves, reached into the cold water, picked out a piece of blue-gray pond mud from the pond, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and then said with certainty:

"Brother Ming, this is the smell, the same as the one on the suspect's shoe."

"What? Brother Xian, can you smell this?" I felt a little unbelievable.

"Not only to smell, but also to observe." Lao Xian put his muddy hands into the water a few times and explained to me:

"This is stagnant water, and the mineral composition in the pond is very stable, so the color of the soil will not change much. This is one. Second, due to the degree of pollution of the water quality, the smell of the soil will also be different. .For example, the pond built near the fertilizer plant has a pungent sulfide smell instead of the normal rancid smell. It is not far from the mountain, and no one usually comes here, so I can be sure that my Judgment." Lao Xian shook off the water in his hands, and put his red right hand back into his pocket.

"What should we do next?" I glanced at Brother Ming who was staring at the pond in a daze.

He suddenly came back to his senses, looked up and looked around the empty surroundings: "Our inference is correct, the suspect's coat must be stained with blood, I suspect he threw the bloody clothes into this pond. So , You need to notify the salvage team to come over and see if you find anything.”

After speaking, he took out his mobile phone and reported to the relevant leaders of the Municipal Bureau, and they would come forward to dispatch the salvage team.Our department is the golden signboard for handling homicide cases in the city, and the Municipal Bureau responded to our requests. In just over an hour, more than a dozen fully armed professional salvage personnel with equipment stood around the pond.

The few of us squatted aside, staring closely at the items that were salvaged.

The hard work paid off, and finally after half an hour of salvage, a white jacket with a lot of blood stains appeared in front of us, and a brick was wrapped in the jacket.

As if he had found a treasure, the old sage took out a large evidence bag from his box, and carefully packed the clothes in the bag.

"Now take two steps," Brother Ming began to speak, "Guoxian, hurry up and extract the DNA from this dress."

"it is good!"

"The criminal police team called just now, and all the surveillance videos along the way have been transferred. Jiao Lei, you can analyze the results for me as quickly as possible."

"OK!" Fat Lei raised his pants and replied confidently.

Don't look at Fat Lei, who looks sloppy and lazy, and even his QQ signature is "the belt is already a decoration". Anyone who knows him knows that he is not an ordinary character.During the entire murder investigation, he has to use a camera to record the whole process; and every physical evidence needs to be photographed and fixed before extraction. This is only the first step; after the photos are taken back, he has to arrange, trim, and classify them .

In addition to taking photos, he also has to deal with video evidence. He has to browse through a huge amount of video information in a very short period of time, and find a short section of the video that is critical to solving the case.Sometimes after watching for several hours, the useful part may be a flash of a tenth of a second.Therefore, the work of video alone cannot be done without great patience.

The last technical job is image processing. For example, if a license plate number is unclear in a video, Pang Lei can use his professional skills to display the number on the license plate.Of course, this is not absolute. For a video with poor pixels, there is nothing the gods can do.

Back at the unit, I waited for several hours with mixed feelings. The result of Lao Xian was the first to come back. We found two kinds of DNA in the clothes salvaged from the pond, one belonged to the deceased, and the other DNA information was unknown. , Through the analysis of genetic material, his genotype is XY type, that is, male. If nothing else, it can be basically confirmed that this is the suspect's DNA.

We don't have a grasp of this strange DNA, but fortunately, we have a grasp now.

At this time, there were several black mobile hard drives placed in front of Fat Lei's computer desk, and he dragged video clips with time and date into a special player.Seeing the solemn expression on Fat Lei's face, I didn't bother him, but just added some hot water to his water glass from time to time.

After an unknown amount of time, I fell asleep on the sofa in his office. When I woke up, my body was covered with a thick blanket, but Fat Lei, who was sitting in front of the computer, was nowhere to be seen.

Just as I was about to get up to look for it, Fat Lei rushed into the office grabbing a hard drive.

"What's the matter?" I rubbed my sleepy eyes.

"The video was not fully tuned, and the suspect was lost. I just went to tune up a few more videos to see if I can find out the complete track of the suspect." Fat Lei said while connecting the hard drive to the computer. There was a "ding dong" sound from the speaker.

"Go ahead and sleep for a while, I'll call you after dinner." Fat Lei smiled at me.

"Forget it, the case can't be solved, and I can't sleep well." I took out two cigarettes from my pocket, gave one to Fat Lei, lit one myself, and sat cross-legged on the sofa to smoke.

Fat Lei's attention was quickly attracted by the surveillance video again, and he ignored me.

Time passed by, and the ashtray in front of me was full of cigarette butts.

"It's broken!" I was about to refill another one when I heard Fat Lei's miserable cry.

fifteen
"What? Broken?" Hearing what he said, I didn't bother to put on my shoes at all. I jumped up from the sofa barefoot, stepped on the cold tiled floor, and stepped in front of him in a few steps.

"How did you break it?"

"I used video to follow the suspect all the way, and finally found that he entered this alley and never appeared again." Fat Lei pointed to a blurry picture on the computer screen with his pen cap and said to me.

"This is where?"

"Dongyuan Village is an urban village. There are thousands of people living in the village, and it extends in all directions. I have checked the surveillance around here. I haven't seen the suspect come out, which means that he is likely to live here. But the turnover of people here It is very large, most of them are migrant workers, and the difficulty of investigation is not ordinary. If we don’t know the situation and go there rashly, it is easy to scare the snake.” Fat Lei expressed his concerns.

"Brother Lei, no way, let's put on casual clothes to find out first. In our department, we are the ones who look the least like policemen, so we shouldn't cause suspicion. If the investigation doesn't yield any results, we'll send someone to seal off the village. A DNA test, I don't believe he can fly." I was so angry that I gritted my teeth.

"You are not afraid of exhausting the old sage, and you will test the DNA one by one. But you are right, if you don't investigate, it will be useless to think about it. Go change your clothes." Fat Lei made up his mind and took it from the closet. Take out the casual clothes and put them on with difficulty.

When we were ready, the two of us drove Brother Ming's Popsang towards our destination.

It was just past five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was also the time when the entire population of Dongyuan Village was most concentrated. Those who went to work during the day had already left work, and those who went to get off work at night got up, and the whole alley was crowded with people.

Fat Lei and I carefully observed every face that came and went, and no one could be included in the scope of suspicion.

In this way, the two of us walked westward to the hinterland of Dongyuan Village.Since urban villages do not have any planning and management, garbage is everywhere everywhere they go.As it got deeper and deeper, the sour smell in the air became stronger.

"This grandma can't be described as dirty and messy!" Fat Lei complained while pinching his nose.

"If you really don't have a clue, you will have to work hard for the old man!" I was already prepared in my heart to die.

"Don't think about those useless things, no way, let's go back and report the situation to Brother Ming first!" Fat Lei has lost the patience to go on.

It may be because the smell in the air is too strong. When Fat Lei and I were about to stop, the smell of disinfectant was mixed with it, which was a bit pungent.

I followed the smell, and a small hospital with the signboard of "Niu Guoqing Clinic" attracted my attention.

"Brother Lei, have we found the second hospital along the way?" I asked in a low voice.

"Didn't you see the small print above the sign?"

Under his reminder, I squinted and glanced at: Dongyuan Village Community Health and Medical Service Station.

Seeing this line of words, I understood what Fat Lei meant.Like this kind of health service station with a formal brand, there is only one hospital in a community. In other words, there may be only one hospital in Dongyuan Village.

"Latex gloves, scalpels, skilled knife skills, free condom bags from the family planning department." These terms slipped through my mind like a movie.

My intuition tells me that this is definitely not a coincidence, and the secret is probably hidden in this clinic.

"Brother Lei, the two of us going in have a big target, I'll go in first to 'hit one head' (code word, meaning to investigate)."

"Well, go ahead, be careful." Fat Lei naturally pretended to be a pedestrian and separated from me at the door of the clinic.

The clinic consists of three facade rooms. The area downstairs is more than 200 square meters. As soon as you enter the door, you are in the consultation room. A young man in his 30s is wearing a white coat and latex gloves. inquiry.The chairs on the walls on both sides of the room are full of patients waiting to see a doctor.

On the left hand side of the consultation room is the injection room, where many patients are receiving drips. On the right hand side of the consultation room is another injection room. The difference between the two is that one is equipped with chairs, while the other is placed with beds.

The consultation room is facing the gate, and there is a staircase leading to the second floor. There is a lighted sign hanging directly above the staircase, which says "Operating room on the second floor, no one is allowed to enter".It can be said that this community hospital is quite large.

Seeing that there were at least a dozen people queuing in front of me, I pretended to have a stomachache and sat down next to an aunt in her 50s. This aunt was my chosen target.

The reason why I chose Da Ma is that according to our work experience, this type of people is the most enthusiastic. If you want to make a routine, almost one set is accurate, and most of the people who come here to see a doctor live nearby, and the older people have a good grasp of the situation here. Definitely more detailed.

"Hello, Auntie!" The sweet mouth is good everywhere, and the aunt sitting next to me turned her head to look at me with a smile.

"Boy, what's the matter? What's wrong?"

"Auntie, I have a stomachache." I gritted my teeth.

"It's because your stomach is cold. You young people like to eat indiscriminately. When you get old, you will know how bad it is." The aunt patted my shoulder with concern.

"Well, Auntie, what you said is right." Auntie was about to speak, but I changed the subject, "By the way, Auntie, it's my first time to see a doctor here, can this doctor do it? Is he just called Niu Guoqing? "I stretched my chin towards the doctor who was asking a doctor.

The aunt glanced at it with her eyes and said, "His name is not Niu Guoqing. He is Niu Guoqing's son, Niu Bosheng. He graduated from a regular medical university. He is a doctor in our city's Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital. He is very good at medicine."

"Doctor from the Maternal and Child Health Hospital?"

"That's right, his father is usually in charge here, and sometimes Maverick will take care of him for a while at the meal."

Sure enough, as soon as the aunt finished speaking, a nearly 60-year-old man in a white coat came to the inside of the consultation table. After he had a brief conversation with Niu Bosheng, Niu Bosheng got up and gave up his seat.

I clutched my stomach, with a pained look on my face, and the peripheral vision of my eyes wandered back and forth on Niu Bosheng's body.

"Aged in his 30s, male, used to wearing latex gloves, about 1.7 meters tall, doctor in the health center, all of them matched. Could it be that this simple-looking man is the brutal murderer?" These questions lingered in my mind.

The man walked to the door, stretched himself, and spit casually.

"Good opportunity!" I stared at the frothy saliva on the ground, a little overjoyed.

I slowly took out a clean tissue from my pocket and held it carefully in my hand.At this moment, the man turned back to the outpatient room and walked straight to the operating room on the second floor.

I hurriedly got up and walked out the door, covered the saliva with a facial tissue, and quickly picked it up.Fat Lei and I didn't stop for a moment, and drove towards Lao Xian's laboratory quickly.

sixteen
At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Lao Xian calmly held a report and woke us up.

"I won the competition!" Lao Xian put the report beside Brother Ming's pillow, and because of overwork, he collapsed directly on the bed.

"Did you win the match? Is the suspect really that doctor?" I asked Ming, who was flipping through the report, with staring eyes.

"Yes, it's him. You call Ye Qian and ask her to notify the criminal police to arrest him."

Knowing the target, arresting people is an easy task for a capable investigator.

At 12 o'clock, the arrest was notified, and at 30:[-], the suspect was tied to the interrogation chair of the criminal police team.

I don't know about other cities. In our city, there is such a regulation that we must conduct the first interrogation of any case involving our criminal technology department.

Because our main duty is to extract physical evidence at the scene, in the minds of technicians, which physical evidence is important and which is irrelevant, it is a clearing book, so we can conduct targeted interrogation based on the situation of the physical evidence at the scene, so that not only can Avoiding the occurrence of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases can also effectively prevent the suspect from withdrawing his confession during the court trial.

When we get the first confession, the next thing will be the turn of the investigators of the criminal police team to intervene. Although the regulations are a bit strange, after years of practice, all murder cases in our city have been closed as iron cases.

Some people want to ask, why do you guys still interrogate?In fact, this is a misunderstanding. No matter what type of police, he must first be a law enforcement officer. Interrogation is a basic subject that all police must master.

Usually the first interrogation is hosted by Brother Ming and recorded by Ye Qian. Those of us who are interested can listen in on the sidelines. Of course, on such occasions, I am always indispensable.

Brother Ming has a habit before interrogation. He likes to make a detailed interrogation plan based on the physical evidence we have, so that the interrogation can be carried out effectively.

"Niu Bosheng and the deceased Wang Xiaole were classmates? Didn't the deceased's ex-husband Wu Da say that there are no doctors among his friends? We made such a big circle!" Brother Ming glanced at Team Xu's investigation results and patted the table angrily.

"For such a big case, this Wu Da is still secretive, Xiao Liu, you go and bring Wu Da to me, I want to ask clearly." Team Xu also angrily ordered an investigator beside him.

The investigator led the way out, and Brother Ming continued to write and draw in his notebook. For important questions, he would put a five-pointed star symbol on the first line of the title.

Not long after Brother Ming's outline was finished, Wu Da was taken into the meeting room by two investigators in a bit of a panic.

"Niu Bosheng, do you know him?" Team Xu didn't hold back.

"Niu Bosheng? Which Niu Bosheng?" Wu Da recalled with a frown.

"Which Niu Bosheng? Are you still pretending to be confused with me now? We have investigated everything. You are in the same class from elementary school to high school. He is currently working in the Maternal and Child Health Hospital. He is an obstetrician and gynecologist. Are you still pretending to me?" Team Xu was so angry that he slammed his notebook on the table and yelled at Wu Da.

"I'm not pretending. I just remembered what you said just now. It's true that I have a classmate named Niu Bosheng, but that person is introverted. We didn't talk when we were in school, and we haven't met each other in these years. He They are not people in our life circle at all." Wu Da looked innocent.

"Then what is the relationship between Wang Xiaole and him?" Brother Ming's tone calmed down a little.

"Lele has no contact with him. What? Could he be the murderer?" Wu Da widened his eyes, waiting for an answer.

"Xiao Liu, take him out first." Brother Ming didn't speak, but issued an order to evict the guest.

Just as Wu Dagang walked to the door, another investigator trotted all the way to Team Xu and handed him three graduation photos.

With strong curiosity, I tilted my head. These are just a few ordinary graduation photos, but the most eye-catching places in each photo are also clear at a glance.On the three photos, the symbol of Taoxin was drawn with red watercolor brushes, and Taoxin was the head of two people, one was Niu Bosheng, and the other was the deceased Wang Xiaole.

Team Xu glanced at it, then handed the photo to Brother Ming.

"Director Leng, this is the photo of the suspect's graduation from elementary school to high school that we found beside his bed." The investigator introduced from the side.

"Well, it seems that this Niu Bosheng has always had a crush on the deceased." Brother Ming glanced at the photo, and recorded this key point in the interrogation outline.

"By the way, did you find hair in the suspect's house?" Brother Ming stopped writing.

"No." The investigator shook his head.

"That's okay, we have almost the same situation at present, Xiaolong, you go and call Ye Qian, and we will meet this Bosheng Niu." Brother Ming got up and walked towards the interrogation room.

Niu Bosheng was captured in a deep sleep. At this time, he was shivering on the cold "tiger bench" with his bare feet and thin shirts and pants.

"Xiaolong, turn up the temperature of the air conditioner." Brother Ming looked up.

"Thank you." Niu Bosheng looked very polite.

"I'm only dealing with things, not people. You know what we're looking for today, right?" Brother Ming habitually lit a cigarette.

When it came to key issues, this guy stopped talking.

Perhaps it was because of the rising temperature in the room, Niu Bosheng straightened his waist, sat upright, and looked at us calmly.Although he is only 31 years old, it gives the impression that this person is very rich.

"We found the bloody coat you threw into the pond, and found the DNA of you and the deceased Wang Xiaole on it. You are both medical students like me. You should understand what I mean, right?" Brother Ming said unhurriedly. Breathe out a puff of smoke.

"So what?" Niu Bosheng didn't care.

"You are an obstetrician who has undergone surgery all year round. The knuckles of your fingers have been strained many times. We found your knuckle prints on the tree trunk where you often squatted. After comparison, it was left by you." Ming Ming Brother began to list the evidence we have.

"Knuckle lines?" Niu Bosheng was a little nervous when he heard this term.Unless a professional trace inspector can understand the meaning, ordinary people will easily understand it as a fingerprint.It is well known that fingerprints are unique.As a suspect, how would he know how much evidence the police had.

"Knuckle prints and climbing marks on the tree can prove that you often spy on the dead. The condoms used under the tree are also from your clinic. We found the clothes you wore when you committed the crime in the pond, Dongyuan Village The nearby surveillance has completely recorded your actions before and after the incident, do you think you can still let this matter go?" Ming Ge said in a leisurely manner.

Cold sweat dripped down Niu Bosheng's forehead.

"Let's talk, let's not waste each other's time." Brother Ming stubbed out the cigarette butt, feeling a little impatient.

Niu Bosheng, who was sitting on the interrogation chair, suddenly trembled.

"You are a highly educated medical worker. You have many opportunities to deal with the police and doctors. You don't know what happens when you refuse to confess?"

"I killed the man, I have nothing else to say." Niu Bosheng had lost his patience.

"Indeed, according to the current evidence, we can convict you without you saying a word, but don't you feel it's a shame?"

"Loss? What am I losing?" Niu Bosheng didn't understand what Brother Ming wanted to express for a while.

"I like to open the door and tell the truth. With your crime methods, you must be sentenced to death. If you don't say it now, are you going to bury it in your heart and bring it into the tomb? Even if you don't give yourself an explanation, at least you will be sentenced to death." You have to give your father an explanation, right? Your family is a single family of three generations, and your father brought you up alone. Do you still want your father to be kept in the dark for the rest of his life? Do you think this is fair to him?"

Brother Ming's every word is heartbreaking, this is also one of the interrogation techniques, hitting his weakness.We investigated beforehand that this Niu Bosheng's mother passed away early, and he grew up with his father, so he has a deep relationship with his father, so playing the family card during the interrogation can hit the vital point directly.

Although Brother Ming is a forensic doctor, to be honest, in our city, I have never seen anyone whose interrogation skills are comparable to his. So rest assured that there is another reason for us to participate in the interrogation.

Sure enough, when Niu Bosheng heard Brother Ming's words, his aggressive attitude instantly softened a lot.

Seventeen
"Of course, if you really want to keep silent like this, I can give you this right. I don't have time to waste on you. This case can be settled with zero confession."

Niu Bosheng sighed lightly, with some hesitation in his eyes, he glanced at Ye Qian who was recording from the sidelines, all of which did not escape Brother Ming's eyes.

"Xiaolong, keep on remembering. Ye Qian, please avoid it for a while." Brother Ming has always been very polite to Ye Qian.

Ye Qian understood and walked out of the interrogation room.

The iron door of the interrogation room was firmly closed, and Brother Ming walked up to Niu Bosheng and lit a cigarette for him.

Apparently, this was his first time smoking, and the sound of his violent coughing echoed in the interrogation room.

"Tell me." Brother Ming returned to the interrogation table to help him start.

Niu Bosheng lowered his head and calmed down for a while, as if he was having a great struggle in his heart.

"I've saved enough face for you! I respect you, and I hope you can respect me too!" Brother Ming pointed sharply at Niu Bosheng, who was separated from him by the iron railing.

This sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Niu Bosheng raised his head slowly and said at a normal speed:
"Wang Xiaole and I were classmates from elementary school to high school. If my father didn't want me to inherit his father's career, maybe we would be classmates in college."

Brother Ming sat aside and listened carefully, without any intention of interrupting, while I quickly recorded every word Niu Bosheng said on the keyboard.

"Lele is like an angel in my eyes. When she was in elementary school, she was the class monitor, study committee member, and life committee member. She carried three bars on her shoulders. She has good academic performance and has always been my role model." Niu Bosheng brought up these past events with a smile on his lips.

"Later in junior high school, we just happened to be assigned to another class. Throughout the three years of junior high school, I sat behind her all the time. I liked to lie quietly on the table and watch her smile, every frown, every smile, I can count every little movement like a treasure.”

Speaking of this, Niu Bosheng paused for a while: "Since the first day of junior high school, I have been obsessed with the refreshing fragrance on her body. It is an indescribable smell that belongs only to her. I dreamed I have held hands with her countless times, imagined her walking with me in the fields countless times, in my heart, she is my goddess, and no one can replace her."

Niu Bosheng had an obsessed expression on his face, but in the blink of an eye, his face suddenly became gloomy, and his speaking speed gradually slowed down.

"In the second year of junior high school, I found out that Lele was in love with Wu Da in our class. I looked down on Wu Da very much. He has a fair-looking face, nothing compared to mine, I really don't know how Lele can fall in love with such a man."

"You liked her so much back then, why didn't you go after her?" Brother Ming's question seemed to be off-topic, but it was actually the finishing touch to guide the interrogation.A real interrogation expert should not only pay attention to the suspect's confession, but also be able to grasp the change of the suspect's attitude throughout the confession process.Obviously, at this point in the interrogation, Niu Bosheng's emotions were a little out of control, and the suspect's testimony under the agitated mood would have some deviations, but Ming Ge's words were actually a guide for Niu Bosheng.

Sure enough, upon hearing Brother Ming's question, Niu Bosheng's attitude became much calmer:
"My mother died early, and it was my father who brought me up alone. When I was in junior high school, puppy love was absolutely not allowed in the school. If I was caught, I would definitely be asked to be a parent. I didn't want to make my father sad. And a little bit ashamed."

"You are a filial son." Brother Ming nodded in praise.

Niu Bosheng smiled slightly: "Although I know that Lele has become someone else's girlfriend, this does not affect her position in my heart at all. She is in my heart, and no one can replace her. In this way, I silently cherish her Behind her, I paid attention to her and liked her until I graduated from high school."

"During the college entrance examination, I wanted to choose the same university as Lele, but my father insisted that I study medicine. Seeing my father's increasingly haggard face, I chose the medical university in our province with helplessness."

Listening to him say that, I have a feeling of sympathy.

"Our school is in the provincial capital, and Lele's school is in this city. It was the first time I was so far away from her. During school, I began to feel uneasy. Every day I dreamed of Lele's shadow. Where did I go? They seem to be able to smell her."

"There was a time when I was going crazy, and I started hallucinating, a hallucination that made me lose myself. This hallucination was a world just for me and Lele, and we were both naked in a world where only we Frenzied sex in the world, time after time, time after time. I could feel her melting into my body, seeping into my blood."

I have never tried the feeling of falling in love, so I can't understand the scene Niu Bosheng described at the moment, but Brother Ming stared at it with bated breath, for fear of missing a word.

"Later, whenever I couldn't restrain my thoughts of Lele, I started to masturbate while fantasizing about her appearance. Over time, I developed a habit."

Hearing Niu Bosheng talk about this past incident, I realized how wise it was for Brother Ming to let Ye Qian go out.

I was wandering in my heart, but Niu Bosheng never stopped talking: "After graduating from university, I gave up the superior conditions in the provincial capital and chose to return to Yunxi City Maternal and Child Health Hospital to be an obstetrician and gynecologist. The most important thing is to be closer to Lele. My main job every day is caesarean section, and I have to do more than a dozen operations a day. Although I am very tired, I am very happy, because every night, I will go downstairs to Lele’s house , Watching her turn off the light and fall asleep, I think this is really a happy thing for me."

I looked up at Niu Bosheng's bewildered expression, and couldn't help but shiver. As a normal person, I couldn't understand his actions at all.

"I haven't had the courage to chase her all these years. Finally, a cruel reality that I have to accept has emerged. Lele is married, and the groom is Wu Da. When I heard the news, I suffered from insomnia for three whole days. In three days, I also completely figured it out. Isn’t there a popular saying now, you don’t have to possess someone to love someone, and seeing her happy is also a kind of happiness. Seeing Wu Da treat Lele so caringly and seriously , I also admit it. He is more qualified to have Lele than me. "

Niu Bosheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and moistened his throat: "Wu Da bought a new house for Lele in Shancheng Community. The total price of that house was 30, but Wu Da only spent 20."

"How do you know so well?"

"Because I asked an acquaintance to transfer the house to him at a low price, and I made up the price difference of 10 yuan to them both in private."

"Why did you do this?"

"For so many years, I have been paying attention to every move of Lele. I know that Lele's parents do not agree with them being together. I just want to help them."

"Wang Xiaole and Wu Da can't be together, don't you happen to be able to pursue her?" Brother Ming also asked my question.

Eighteen
Niu Bosheng smiled and shook his head: "You say that because you don't know Lele well, even if the two of them can't be together, she won't choose me, because I'm an introverted man, not the type she likes .”

"You can see this very clearly! Then what happened next?"

"I used to go to my friend's house often. I knew that standing on a crooked pine tree behind her building, I could see the layout of the whole house clearly. So from the day Wu Da and Lele moved in , I will go there almost every two days.”

"What are you doing there?"

"Before, when they were not at home, I made hands and feet on the curtains of the bedroom and bathroom, so that I could see Lele's daily life from the tree every day."

"Does it also include her taking a bath and going to the toilet?" Brother Ming interjected.

Niu Bosheng did not shy away from it at all: "I am a normal man, and I also have sexual needs. For the sake of Lele, I have not been in contact with any women for so many years. I watched her take a bath, and watched her and Wu Da make troubles in bed. I didn't Something feels wrong."

"And you masturbate on the tree?"

"Yes!" Niu Bosheng answered very readily.

"Tell me about the details."

Niu Bosheng nodded: "My father owns a community hospital, and the family planning service station sends many free condoms every year, but the quality of these condoms is so poor that no one dares to use them. The clinic had thousands of them. So I just masturbated to keep the semen from getting on my pants."

"Where do you throw away the condoms you use every time?"

"I will tie the used condoms into a knot and bring them back in my pocket. I am a medical student and I have a cleanliness in this area. I don't like to throw these things around, especially from my own body."

"Do you always put on latex gloves before you masturbate?"

"How do you know?" Niu Bosheng was a little surprised.

Grandma’s, of course I know, dealing with overnight condom bags, I’m so tired that my hands are almost suffering from Parkinson’s syndrome, and I don’t have a single fingerprint.I cursed quietly in my heart.

"Go on." Brother Ming didn't answer directly.

"Officer, you are right. I do have this habit, because I often perform operations, whether it is touching patients or touching my own private places. If I don't wear latex gloves, I will feel very awkward."

"Tell me about your route back and forth every time."

"At first, I climbed directly over the barbed wire fence of the community, but the movement of climbing over the guardrail was too loud. I was afraid that Lele would become alert after a long time, so I could only climb over the back hill every day."

"Do you have the habit of wearing spikes?"

"Well, I don't usually wear them, I only wear them when I climb mountains at night, otherwise the soles of my feet are easy to slip."

"Tell me the situation on the night of the crime in detail."

Hearing this, Niu Bosheng was silent for a while, and then said: "Wu Da and Lele got divorced after only one year of marriage. Lele's mother introduced her to a guy named Huang Chong. I checked this guy's background, and he is a He's a rotten bastard, prostitutes, messing around with men and women, and he even has an affair with his subordinates. I thought Lele would refuse, but I didn't expect that she would agree to associate with such a man. This man named Huang Chong has visited her more than once s home."

At this point in the interrogation, the tense elements in the air began to come alive.

"I've been silently liking her for so many years, but she finally wants to find such a scumbag to be her husband? How much do I pay for her, and how much Wu Da pays for her? Is she worthy of Wu Da? Is she worthy of me?"

Niu Bosheng had already started gnashing his teeth.

"Since this incident, I've been very disappointed in her. But what annoyed me the most is that a few nights ago, she actually called Wu Da. As soon as Wu Da entered the house, she rushed up like a bitch, Crazy sex with Wu Da at home for several hours. Could it be that she doesn't know in her heart that she will marry Huang Chong in three days?"

"In my eyes, Wang Xiaole is a slut who can't be satisfied. Wu Dadu has already divorced her, and she even teased his feelings to satisfy her own desires. She has been regarded as superior since childhood in my heart Goddess, I used to have the urge to die for her, but she can do such a thing. I feel like a third of my life has been ruined by this woman, cheated by her. I want to kill her , I must kill her!"

Niu Bosheng growled like a mad dog in the interrogation room.Several investigators standing outside the door pushed the door open, but Brother Ming blocked it.

"I know I can't help it. My pure love for her for so many years has been dyed completely black by her actions. That night, I took out the scalpel I carried with me from my pocket and climbed over the balcony to her In her room, she was asleep at the time and didn't notice that I was standing at the head of her bed."

"I grabbed her hair and slammed it hard against the sharp corner of the bedside table. I don't know how many times I slammed it until her heart stopped."

"After killing her, I still couldn't let go of my anger. I thought about rape, so I took off all the clothes on her lower body, but then I thought, her filthy body is not worth it."

"In order to relieve my anger, I started to scratch her thigh vigorously with a scalpel, and I didn't stop until I got tired of scratching."

"While I was panting, I smelled the long-lost fragrance again, which only belonged to Wang Xiaole. The fragrance was mixed with blood, and I felt so disgusting. So I took a scalpel and removed all the body hair on her body. Scrape it off and flush it down the toilet."

"After all this was done, I looked up at the ceiling. When I thought that this house still had my 10 yuan in it, I became so angry that I went to the kitchen to find a kitchen knife and took her The whole head was cut off, placed in the middle of the bed, and dirty words were written on the wall with her dirty blood. It was not until my hands lost strength that my anger calmed down a little."

"What did you do after that?"

"I rinsed the blood off the latex gloves in the bathroom and left the room."

"You missed a detail, think about it carefully." Brother Ming reminded.

"Details?" Niu Bosheng frowned, but in an instant, his brows relaxed: "Before I left, I found some pepper noodles in the kitchen and sprinkled them in the house."

"What's your purpose in doing this?"

"I often watch TV shows, because when I killed Wang Xiaole, I had already exhausted my strength. I was afraid that when I left, you would use police dogs to search for my scent and find me, so I took it for granted and sprinkled some pepper on the scene. .”

"Hmph, you're quite thoughtful, but you're overthinking." Brother Ming snorted coldly.

Niu Bosheng didn't speak.

"Tell me about your escape route, and where are those spikes you were wearing?"

"After I killed someone, I left Wang Xiaole's residence directly from the gate. When I went out, I found out that my shirt was covered in blood, so I wanted to wash the blood before I ran away, otherwise the police patrolling the street would kill me. Definitely will catch me."

"I come here often and know that there is a pond not far from the community. I ran there in the dark. Because I was a little nervous at the time, when I squatted by the pond to wash the blood, I staggered and fell into the pond. I It took a lot of effort to climb up. Now that the bloody shirt was soaked, I didn't stop doing anything, and simply threw the clothes into the pond. There's a brick wrapped in the clothes."

"After finishing this, I was going to trot all the way home, but I was soaked all over, and the temperature at night was too low, so I couldn't stand the cold, so I wanted to find something to keep out the cold. I passed by here every day when I climbed the mountain, and I knew it was in an alley. There lived a waste picker, I snatched a cotton coat from him, and ran back home."

"Where are your spikes, your latex gloves, your surgical knife?"

"After the incident, I destroyed all of them."

According to Niu Bosheng's confession, all the physical evidence at the scene has been corroborated. This murder case with very bad influence and heinous means was successfully solved in less than four days.

Nineteen
On the night when the case was uncovered, it was a snowy night two thousand kilometers north of Yunxi City.

"Northern scenery, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow." One word describes the snow scene in the northern winter just right.

Creak, creak.In the middle of the night, outside a small farmyard that looked very ordinary from the outside, there was a sound of snow being crushed by the soles of shoes.

Under the bright moonlight, a young woman in fur walked lightly towards the iron gate of the yard.The woman stopped in front of the locked red door.She took out her right hand wearing a black leather glove from her pocket, and lifted off the mask covering her delicate face.The woman raised her head at a 45-degree angle, looked up at the top of the courtyard wall, and her eyes fell on the infrared camera on the top of the wall.

The identity was confirmed, and the red iron gate of the yard was opened with a bang. The woman put on her mask again, and walked into a bungalow in the middle of the yard with the cold wind like a knife cutting.There are only a few pieces of furniture symbolically placed in the room. Judging from the thick dust covered in the room, there are no traces of daily life here.

"Sister-in-law!" As soon as the woman entered the door, two big men from the Northeast with live ammunition shouted respectfully.

The woman took off the heavy fur on her body and threw it to one of the big men.

"Where is Brother Huo?"

"In the small conference room."

The woman walked to the closet and vigorously turned a seemingly inconspicuous ornament with her hands.

Accompanied by the sound of creaking and creaking gears, an LED electronic screen appeared on the wall.She first aimed the pupils of her eyes at the two circular mirrors, and after a beep, she put her hands and ten fingers on the screen glowing with blue light. After everything was confirmed, a thick metal door hidden in the wall Open slowly.The woman quickened her pace and walked in.

On the other side of the door was an underground factory covering an area of ​​several thousand square meters, and there was a pungent smell in the air.

She frowned slightly, took out a handkerchief and pressed it on the high bridge of her nose, then accelerated the frequency of her feet, and walked into a wooden room.

There were already three men sitting in the room.

"Brother Huo." As soon as she entered the door, she shouted at the man sitting at the head of the conference table. "Brother Huo" is about 45 years old, with a round face and a hooked nose, and looks calm.

"En." Brother Huo responded.

"sister in law."

"Okay, third." The man she called "third" was nicknamed "Six Claws" because he had four fingers chopped off by his enemies in the early years. Six Claws is in his 30s and has a strong build. Very scary scorpion tattoo.

"I know something has happened, but I'm still here so late." Another man in the room with a swollen face muttered in a low voice. Judging from his appearance, he was not much older than Six Claws.

"Second, what the hell are you talking about? This is your sister-in-law, no matter how big or small." From the tone of his voice, it is not difficult to see that Brother Huo is the boss here.

"That's right, lunatic, you're too modest." Six Claws also reprimanded.

"Your uncle, did you call the lunatic?" He slapped Liuzhao on the shoulder as he spoke.

"Okay, stop making trouble, now that Danqing is here, let's talk about some serious business." Brother Huo opened his mouth.

As soon as business was mentioned, the atmosphere in the room became tense instantly.

"Last time, 'Bao Hei', the largest seller in Wannan Province, valued us and bought a lot of goods from us. He has something to do with us, so I called you guys over so late."

"Brother Huo, you know that if it's about that kind of business, I won't be involved." Danqing lit a women's cigarette and took a deep breath.

"You put it lightly, if you don't do this business, what will we eat and drink with thousands of brothers?" The lunatic retorted in a low voice.

"Second brother, shut up, don't think that the three of us came from the same village before, so I dare not beat you. This is your sister-in-law, show me some respect." Brother Huo was a little angry.

The lunatic was reprimanded head and face, and became much more honest.

"Danqing, don't take it to heart." Brother Huo smiled apologetically.

"No, Brother Huo, you are worrying too much." Dan Qing remained expressionless.

"It's fine, let's get down to business. What Bao Hei is begging us for this time is not about that, but a small matter. This matter must be done by you, Danqing."

"Could it be that he wants to..." Danqing seemed to understand.

"Yes, that's the matter. If we finish this matter, half of the goods in the entire Wannan Province will be provided by us."

"What, half? This Bao Hei is so generous?" The lunatic danced with excitement.

"No problem, this matter is on my shoulders." Danqing did not hesitate at all.

"Bao Hei suggested that it would be difficult to ask for seven sets?" Obviously this is a slang word in the industry.

"Seven sets?" Danqing frowned when he heard this.

"What, is it difficult?" Brother Huo was a little worried.

"No, I can provide seven sets, but where will I hand it over?" Danqing seemed to have made a big compromise.

"Wannan Province, Yunxi City, your hometown."

Hearing this place name, Danqing's face became ugly.

"I know...but..." Brother Huo seemed even more troubled than Danqing.

Three pairs of eyes in the room stared at Danqing, and she remained silent until the cigarette was extinguished.

"or……"

"I'll go!" Danqing dispelled Brother Huo's worries.

"Really?" Brother Huo excitedly grabbed Danqing's wrist with both hands.

"En!" Danqing nodded calmly.

Brother Huo patted the table excitedly, and said vowedly: "You haven't been back for so many years, so you can take this opportunity to go back. I'll let Madman and Six Claws accompany you, so that your safety can be absolutely guaranteed. Through my Contact, Bao Hei should be a good person, and he won't embarrass us."

"Brother Huo, don't worry, since this matter is entrusted to me, I will take care of it for you!"

"Okay! With your words, my heart will be in my stomach!" With Brother Huo's penetrating laughter resounding in the room, a secret that has been hidden for many years is about to be revealed.
