I don't want to solve the case when I'm a little policeman.

Chapter 860 Xu Zheng’s conjecture

Pei Tianshi has experience in criminal investigation. He is from the academy. When considering the case, he always considers the criminal's motive, the strange situation at the crime scene, and the cause of the victim's death.

And the point of who benefits from the death of the deceased Du Meijuan in this way.

Based on these factors, he first suspected that the murderer might be one of the family members or relatives of Du Meijuan's boyfriend Song Hao.

Or they all participated.

Because Song Hao's body had been placed in the funeral parlor for two days, according to the time inference, his body should have been cremated on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, but the murderer took the pains to move the body to Du Meijuan's room.

This custom of arranging weddings for the dead once existed all over the country, but even if it exists now, few people know about it.

Song Hao is from Xishan Province, and Xishan is the province where this custom is most popular in the northern provinces, especially in the Yellow River Basin. In the past, people who collected corpses every year could earn a lot of money from this custom.

"I know that the previous case-handling unit, those seniors must have investigated the marriage of the deceased and her boyfriend, and I also know that they did not find any problems from this.

But I just can't help but want to start from this aspect.

Mr. Yan, team leader, have you two given up on this entry point? "

Xu Zheng scratched his eyebrows. In fact, this problem was obviously easy to see. Instead of giving up, he continued to investigate from this point on. He was just following the old path of the former.

It's still a fruitless path.

He recalled the scene where the deceased and her boyfriend were lying in bed. The murderer or one of them must be someone who is proficient in makeup.

It may be a man or a woman, but it must be proficient in the art of restoring the makeup of the dead.

Seeing Xu Zheng's frown, Mr. Yan took over the conversation, "Let me talk about the police investigation ten years ago.

The first person to take over the case that year was not the serious crime brigade of the city bureau, but the criminal police brigade of the district where Sanlitun was located.

In addition to investigating Chang Lele, who called the police, they also investigated a large number of relatives and friends of Du Meijuan's boyfriend Song Hao.

Including those in Xishan Province where his hometown is located, they also sent colleagues to investigate.

But you also saw the results.

Later, the Municipal Bureau's Serious Crime Brigade took over but still failed, and eventually a backlog of cases formed.

In the past ten years, it has been restarted twice, each time investigating the marriage of the deceased and his boyfriend.

Each time he failed. "

Pei Tianshi sighed silently. He understood that this was his inherent way of thinking about handling cases. Whenever he encountered a case, he wanted to handle it based on experience. He reminded himself again in his heart.

What we are dealing with now are backlogged and old cases. The path I can think of has not only been thought of by my predecessors, but they have also followed this path to the end.

Xu Zheng saw that Pei Tianshi finally realized that the new case was handled differently from the old case. He was slightly relieved, but he also kept reminding himself that he must not have fixed thinking when investigating cases in the future.

Be flexible, be innovative, and think about problems from different angles.

"Zhuqing, please tell me what you think."

"Team leader, I..." Zhu Qing's eyes were slightly confused. She looked at her computer screen and then at Pei Tianshi. She understood that Xu Zheng asked them both this question because he wanted to see their investigation ideas for this case.

"I'm sorry, I...I don't have anything I can do right now."

Xu Zheng nodded, without criticizing or blaming, "Take your time..."

"Brother Xu, do I have any ideas?" Fang Hua flashed his big eyes, with pleading and eagerness on his round face.

"Of course, this case has been announced to the public to search for clues. If you have any ideas, you can speak freely." Xu Zheng did not refuse her. Looking at the collagen on the little girl's face, he couldn't bear to make her unhappy.

When Fang Hua heard Xu Zheng's agreement, he raised his eyebrows provocatively at his grandfather, and then quickly got into the mood, with his right index finger and thumb forming a V-shape and holding his chin.

He really looks a bit like Mouri Kogoro.

"If you can't find any clues from the marriage of the deceased, have you considered some kind of ceremony..."

Xu Zheng looked at the little girl looking like she was waiting for you to answer quickly, and he felt funny, "What kind of ceremony is it?"

Fang Hua then continued: "Of course it is a mysterious religious ceremony. If you look at the crime scene, the deceased and her boyfriend were dressed in wedding dresses and suits. They should be imitating some kind of Western religious ceremony.

I think we can screen similar cases from across the country, and there may be unexpected surprises. "

Joint investigation can often reveal the murderer's different motivations and methods of committing the crime, but this case is still the only one in the country.

After all, whoever kills someone will go out of their way to move the body of the deceased boyfriend and put make-up and clothes on them.

Too troublesome.

Fang Hua looked at the speechless expressions on everyone's faces, and instantly understood that his proposal must have been investigated by the police long ago.

She stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and forced a smile: "Brother Xu, do you have any ideas?"

Xu Zhengqing coughed and spread his hands, "Me neither."

Seeing the pity on the little girl's face, he smiled and said: "But now I tend to commit crimes in groups. Let's not talk about the reasons for now. As for the wedding style, I think this may be the murderer deliberately misleading us.

After committing a crime, some murderers often clean the crime scene themselves several times in order to eliminate the traces left by their crime.

The crime scene of this case seems very strange, so is there a possibility that the murderer created such a strange scene to deliberately cover up the clues they left behind when committing the crime? "

Mr. Yan fell into memories after hearing this, and he shook his head, "Are you saying that this group of murderers left clues at the crime scene, or are they the kind that are difficult to remove?
But back then, my colleagues and I repeatedly inspected the scene and found nothing suspicious. "

Xu Zheng smiled and waved his hand, "The suspicious point I am talking about is not the obvious one, nor is it the actual thing we see, but an inexplicable feeling.

For example, you are an experienced criminal investigator. As soon as you enter the death scene of Du Meijuan, do you think your first reaction is that the murderer is arranging a marriage between the deceased and her boyfriend?

In fact, in fact, they had another reason for killing Du Meijuan. They just wanted to evade her.

But what they really want to cover up, I haven't figured out yet.

Looking at it now, if we really check the clue of marriage, I think Xuan. "

"You must have investigated both those who like her and those who hate her around Du Meijuan, and you haven't found any clues yet." Fang Hua frowned and pretended to be discouraged, "Otherwise, we can try starting from the funeral parlor.

Yu Xuxu, who was able to put makeup on a corpse that had been dead for three days, must have had experience in this field, so one of the murderers might have been an embalmer.

And how many people can be embalmers in the country..."

Fang Hua got stuck while she was talking, because everyone present did not listen to what she was saying. Obviously, this idea either didn't work, or the police had investigated it.

Seeing that all the methods she thought of were useless, she clenched her fists and prepared to continue thinking hard. Xu Zheng saw that the little girl was getting more and more courageous with every frustration, and he couldn't help but nodded in his heart. This is how case handling is. If you don't have a good idea, you can only look for the elephant blindly and follow one path first.

In fact, it is just trial and error, what if it succeeds.

"Mr. Yan, it's almost time. Let's go back first. We'll come back when we have time."

"Well, time flies so fast. Come on, I'll get off work with you." Mr. Yan has no reason to delay any longer this time. His daughter has already looked over with a cold look in her eyes.

It's just that this time Fang Hua was a little unsatisfied and said coquettishly to Xu Zheng: "Brother Xu, can I come over next time you study and judge the case?"

Xu Zheng had no objection, "If it doesn't delay your studies and your parents don't object, you can come at any time."

It is obvious that Mr. Yan loves his granddaughter very much. The fact that the little girl can stand in this archive must have Mr. Yan's tacit approval.

In this case, why does Xu Zheng need to be a villain?

Besides, rocks from other mountains can attack jade. What if this little girl wakes up the dreamer with just one word?

It was already around eight o'clock in the evening when Xu Zheng got home. Han Rui and Dudu were not at home. The mother and daughter went to visit Xu Hongdou's house again.

Sister Hua went with them.

Ever since Xu Hongdou had the idea of ​​making a movie, she began to systematically learn about directing.

Especially the script.

She has very strict control over scripts and believes that the domestic film industry system, which is dominated by directors, is imperfect. She wants to try the Hollywood-style script-as-king approach, a shooting method where one page of script takes one second of film time.

So she often took Han Rui with her to discuss the script of her first movie.

As a result, during this period, the two of them squatted in her study room all day long to study the script and were very busy.

Even after Sister Xiaorui came back to wash up at night, she got into bed and fell asleep, which made Xu Zheng become a resentful woman in the boudoir, only once a week.

There is also poor Dudu, who has not yet been weaned and listens to her mother and godmother arguing about the script beside her all day long.

Sometimes Xu Zheng would pick up his mother and daughter home if he got off work early. If it was late, they would come back early, but today he did not pick them up. Instead, after he got home, he moved a chair and sat in the small courtyard.

Looking at the gray sky in the capital, I was thinking about Du Meijuan's case...

The next day was Saturday, but Xu Zheng's work unit was still very busy. It wasn't until two o'clock in the afternoon that he had time to take Zhu Qing and Pei Tianshi to the archives where Mr. Yan was.

This time only Mr. Yan and Fang Hua were in the room, but there was something wrong with the way the little girl looked at him today, as if she admired him very much.

Xu Zheng was troubled, it must be Mr. Yan who told Fang Hua about him, otherwise how could this girl change so much.

However, business matters were more important and Xu Zhengke had no intention of paying attention to an amateur detective. "Mr. Yan, just like yesterday, read the file first and discuss it later."

In fact, Xu Zheng has already read most of the text of these files. Today, he mainly watched the videos, including the videos of the crime scene, as well as the surveillance of the funeral home and Du Meijuan's community.

What Xu Zheng first watched was the video of the first investigator and the first policeman who rushed to the scene recording their confessions.

"Brother Xiao Xu, can I watch it with you?"

At this time, Fang Hua came over. She looked curious and truth-seeking, and there seemed to be a belief in her eyes that she would be able to solve the case by following Xu Zheng.

"No, you will disturb me if you are next to me." Xu Zheng refused directly. The little girl was in her prime of youth, and he was really afraid that his focused expression while handling the case would attract her.

And he didn't know if it was the scent of her body, the scent of her clothes and toiletries, or a mixture of the two. With her sitting next to him, Xu Zheng felt it was a little difficult to maintain his character as a gentleman.

People are not Liu Xiahui. No matter how big or small a woman is, it is better to keep a distance.

Of course, people like Xu Hongdou, a big star who has been famous for most of her life, is still alone at the age of fifty. Her parents, relatives and friends are basically no longer alive. It can be said that she is lonely in terms of family relationships.

I heard that she had a half-sister, but I had never heard her talk about it.

I haven't seen any relatives at her home, it's basically her friends who come to hang out with her.

So in Xu Zheng's heart, he didn't have any evil thoughts towards her, but instead felt a little sympathy for her.

Of course, it's possible that both parties are adults and can control their feelings, but it's hard to say for Fang Hua.

"You" Fang Hua didn't expect that Xu Zheng would refuse. She wanted to plead again, but when she saw that the idol she had just admired had already started working, she had no choice but to step aside.

I also looked through the case files.

As time passed by, Xu Zheng was immersed in watching the video. It must be said that the high-definition camera purchased by the state captured the content extremely clearly.

Even the expressions on the characters' faces can be seen clearly.

He simply flipped through several hundred gigabytes of video within an hour, and he could get quite a bit of information, but unfortunately, he didn't discover anything from it.

Among them, the video of the funeral home is from March 2026, 3 (the eighteenth day of the first lunar month), including all the surveillance of the previous two days, but no suspicious characters were found in these surveillances.

Logically speaking, there is no way to avoid all surveillance when stealing a body from a funeral parlor.

But this group of people did it.

Moreover, none of the cameras in the funeral home were destroyed, and no hacking technology was used in the background to hack into the cameras and tamper with the content.

However, during these surveillances, Xu Zheng did not discover how this group of people moved the corpse from the funeral home.

With this question, he asked Mr. Yan.

Mr. Yan seemed to be remembering the past and frowned, "We are also puzzled by the matter of moving corpses. Many people have come up with different ways to deceive the cameras, but they have all failed."

Xu Zheng was thinking about this issue last night, "Mr. Yan, I have an idea. Have you ever discussed using drones to transport corpses?"

The place where the corpses are hidden in the funeral parlor is not without windows. According to Xu Zheng's idea, a remotely controlled drone group consists of six to ten small drones.

Just ensure that the drone formation can carry the weight of an adult.

You can open the window of the funeral home first, and then send a drone to fly in and find the refrigerator containing Song Hao's body.

Remotely command the drone to operate the equipment to open the refrigerator.

Or the drone can directly carry a living person from the air to the roof of the funeral home, and then the person cooperates with the drone to hoist Song Hao's body and fly out through the window.

Only in this way can we avoid the surveillance of the funeral home. After all, the surveillance cameras monitor what happens on the ground.

Listening to Xu Zheng's analysis, Mr. Yan's eyes lit up and he praised: "I think the method you mentioned is quite practical, or we can do an experiment?"
