reckless detective

Chapter 19 Niutoushan (1)

Niutoushan is located about 80 kilometers west of Jingbei City, which belongs to the border area between Jingbei City and neighboring provinces.

Xu Xinger has been a forensic doctor for more than 20 years. He has handled countless cases, big and small. Shan solved the case.

"Have you heard of the suspense case in 94?" Xu Xing said.

Wu Cuo shook his head. In 94, he should have been in the first class of kindergarten.

But Yan Ruyu said while driving: "The three brothers of the Niu family were killed. After the murder, the murderer chopped off the head and boiled it, and brought it to the forest to feed the wild dogs, right?"

"How much hatred does this have to do?!" Wu Cuo said.

Xu Xinger nodded, "At that time, I just joined the work, and the master took me to the scene. I have a deep impression of that case. It's miserable! The three brothers gathered together in the melon field shack at night, watching the melons and playing cards. At noon the next day, the eldest daughter-in-law felt that something was wrong, why didn’t she come back at this time? I went to the field and saw that all three people were dead, the whole shack was stained red with blood, and all three heads were gone.”

"What happened later? Who is the murderer?" Wu Cuo asked.

"The murderer is a father and son from the same village. The father is nearly 40 years old, and the son is almost 20. Because they are outsiders, and both of them are dumb, they are always excluded and bullied by the Niu family, especially the three Niu family who were killed. Brother, these three people can be said to take pleasure in bullying the dumb father and son, so they were brutally killed."

Wu Cuo couldn't help but click his tongue, "Niutoushan is not a big place, so when something happens, it's a big deal. 20 years ago, three brothers were killed, and now it's a family. It's frightening to think about it."

"The people's public servant is still afraid of this?" Yan Ruyu curled her lips, and said to Wu Xinger in the rearview mirror: "I only heard about the case of the three brothers of the Niu family back then, but I don't know the specific situation..."

"You want to ask about the process of solving the case?" Xu Xing said.

Now, Yan Ruyu and Wu Cuo nodded together, like two police school students.

"20 years ago was not like it is now. At that time, there were not so many advanced criminal investigation methods, such as DNA testing and surveillance cameras. Through the autopsy, we found that the knife wound on the neck of the corpse was very long, and the wound was obviously deep on one side. Shallow on one side and two stab wounds with bends."

"Turning?"

"I can't describe it in detail. In short, it is different from ordinary knife wounds. You should know that the murder weapon is a sickle."

"Sickle..." Wu Cuo stretched out his hand and gestured a few times, as if he was really holding a sickle in his hand.

"Because the sickle is in the shape of a 7, it will form a unique wound that is deep on one side and shallow on the other, and can leave a semi-circular wound on the neck—the so-called wound that can bend." Yan Ruyu explained.

"That's right, that's what it means," Xu Xinger continued: "In addition, we found a few clear footprints at the scene—that is, the Niu's watermelon field, as well as traces of melon seedlings being trampled. It was determined that the murderer was two people.

After restoring the murderer's entry and exit routes, we found that the murderer came to the scene from the direction of Niutoushan Village, and after killing the three brothers of the Niu family, he left in the direction of Niutoushan Village. From this, it can be inferred that the murderer is probably a native of the village. "

"Same village? Then the scope of suspects has narrowed down a lot." Wu Cuo said.

"That's what I said, but the murderer's actions were very clean and quick. No direct evidence has been found, and the three heads have never been found. Like this kind of big case, the higher authorities limit the time to solve the case, and my master was so anxious that his mouth was full of blisters." .

The local police station was also in a hurry, and organized the villagers to cooperate with the investigation. We asked us to check the sickle door to door.

The mute father and son are also on our list of suspects, but the scythe in the mute's house is very old. It looks like it has been useless for several months. It is already rusted, and even the wood of the handle is cracked.

The case has not progressed, and my master and I live in the village almost every day.I remember very clearly that it was thirteen days after the incident. There was a market in the neighboring village. Many villagers went to the market early in the morning. When the villagers came back one after another, someone bought a new sickle.

This really inspired us, so my master and I rushed to the market to find out about the farm tool sellers—there was really no other way at that time, we had to use a dead horse as a living horse doctor—we showed it to the farm tool sellers Several groups of photos of the suspect, and asked him if any of these people bought a scythe recently, guess what?The old man who sold farm tools pointed out the little dumb guy.

The old man said that it was about a few months ago when two dumb people bought two sickles from him. At that time, the little dumb man was rushing to carry things, for fear that his father would be tired, and he was very filial. The old man was still thinking: such a good The child is dumb, what a pity!So it's more impressive.

With this clue, the dumb father and son instantly became the main suspects. They also noticed the strangeness and began to pretend to be deaf and dumb - don't laugh, my description is still very appropriate. Originally, we could communicate simply by gestures, but When it came to buying a scythe, they either didn't understand it at all, or they gestured indiscriminately.For this case, a sign language teacher was specially recruited from the city, but he didn't know what to do, and the teacher didn't do anything.

Although there was an obstacle in the communication, the attitude of the two made us more convinced that they were the murderers! "

"But there is no evidence," Wu Cuo said: "The murder weapon was not found, and the traces at the scene are not direct evidence, so there is no way to convict."

Xu Xinger nodded and continued: "It is indeed difficult, but one detail still caught our attention."

"What details?"

"One night I couldn't sleep, I lay on the bed, and the picture of dealing with the mute father and son unconsciously flashed through my mind, and I remembered that when I went to their house for the first time, the little mute was squatting in the yard cleaning the pot , It was a rather big iron pot. It happened to be mealtime at the time, so no one noticed it, but after thinking about it, something was wrong. Is it necessary for two people to use such a big pot?
More importantly, there was a layer of oil in the pot, which is the kind of whitish animal fat, but I remember very clearly that the father and son had just eaten when they entered the house, and the bowl had not been confiscated. How light it is, there is no oil or water at all.

A dire scenario occurred to me: the human head might be boiled. "

Xu Xinger narrated in cadence, and the hairs on Wu Cuo's back stood on end.Probably wanting to adjust the atmosphere, he turned on the car radio.An advertisement for a male hospital suddenly sounded in the car, and Wu Cuo had to turn off the radio in embarrassment.

Yan Ruyu, who was driving, didn't hold back, and burst out laughing, Wu Cuo ignored it directly, and asked Xu Xing in a serious manner: "But there is still no evidence."

"At that time, there were no sewers in the countryside, and the dirty water from washing clothes and pots in summer was poured directly into the yard. My master and I turned over the yard of the dumb house almost inch by inch. Don't tell me, it was in the dumb house The place where dirty water is often splashed really allowed us to find three particularly small bone slags."

Xu Xinger pinched a small slit with two fingers and gestured: "It's just that big. The technology at that time was not as good as it is now, let alone DNA identification, it is difficult to confirm whether this bone is human or animal.

The case became an unsolved case. The case file, the three broken bones, and the DNA test materials of the deceased were all preserved. Until the day my master retired, the city introduced new technology and built the first DNA testing laboratory in the country. The materials of the old case were sent for inspection, and it was confirmed that the three bone residues matched the DNA of two of the three deceased.

After a lapse of 14 years, the unsolved case was finally solved, the chain of evidence was complete, the mute father and son were brought to justice, and the murderer paid the due price. "

　In the past two days, I was the only one at home. In the middle of the night, I often felt a chill on my back, as if the dead in the book were standing on the sidelines and looking at me, scared to death!Urgently need your recommendation tickets, favorites, and comments!
