While the manhunt is in progress

Chapter 75

"After the incident, all the relevant evidence that can be found is here."

Wu Xuerui released a projection as she spoke, and there were only three things on it, a cigarette butt, half a shoe print, and a thick, bloody wooden stick.

"It was identified that the destructive trauma on the face of the deceased was caused by a thick wooden stick, indicating that the criminal used it to hit the face of the deceased after transferring the deceased to the cowshed. Unfortunately, no fingerprints of the criminal were found on it."

"As for the cigarette butts, due to the limited conditions in Yucheng at the time, they were specially sent to Qindu to identify the biological residues left on them. The identification department extracted the DNA of the cowshed owner. Since he had no alibi on the night of the crime, he was listed as The suspect was detained for a while. However, after comparing the half of the shoe prints at the scene, it was found that he was very different from the criminal in appearance. In addition, similar cigarette butts appeared in many places in the bullpen, and there was no more direct evidence. Let him go."

Liu Hui raised his hand and asked, "Then why is this a piece of evidence without a cigarette butt?"

"That's because there is another person's DNA left on it." Wu Xuerui replied: "There is not only the owner of the cowshed, but also another man's DNA on it. There is a high probability that it was left by the criminal."

After Wu Xuerui finished speaking, Liu Hui and the other four showed puzzled expressions.

Seeing this, Song He coughed slightly and said: "The police officer in charge of the case at the time also had doubts, but after asking the owner of the cowshed, he found that he not only had the habit of smoking in the cowshed, but also because of his family The environment is quite embarrassing, and I often only smoke half of a cigarette at a time, and the other half will be left in the bullpen until the next time I smoke it.”

"You mean that after the criminal moved the deceased to the cowshed, he found the half of the cigarette left by the owner of the cowshed, and then smoked it?" Liu Hui understood Song He's meaning.

"That was the judgment of the police officers at the time, and of course I agree with this judgment." Song He nodded and said, "In addition, the owner of the cowshed did not have the habit of leaving matches or lighters in the cowshed, so the criminal used himself to light cigarettes." lighter."

"There were no matchsticks left at the scene?" Lu Jie heard Song He's subtext: "Is the criminal a regular smoker?"

"That's right. Old smokers are very addicted to cigarettes, and lighters are much more cost-effective than matches. And on the way he leaves, he is very likely to smoke again because of his addiction." Song He shook his head after speaking: "It's a pity that I didn't get it in time. Realizing this, I failed to spread the investigation around to find the second cigarette butt."

"It's really a pity to look at it now." Wu Xuerui nodded, and continued to point to the half shoe print on the projection: "The real value is this half shoe print. We deduced the physical characteristics of the criminal from it. It is a An adult male with a height of about 170 and a weight of 75 to 80 kilograms. However, except in the cowshed, no shoe prints that can match the size were found around the crime scene."

"At that time, the Municipal Bureau attached great importance to this case, so it spent a huge amount of money to collect biological information from all adult men with the same physical characteristics in the surrounding area, and sent them to Qindu for identification. However, the DNA identification results were still unable to match."

"Because of the scarcity of evidence, it was difficult to investigate the case. The police officers at that time spent a lot of time and energy visiting all the residents around the cowshed, but they all said that they heard no special movement. Only the owner of the cowshed said that the cowshed The dog was more lethargic the next day."

"It was drugged." Ma Xuexian was very sure: "With so much preparation and such familiarity with the surrounding environment, it is more likely that the perpetrator is a local or a permanent resident."

"Yes." Wu Xuerui pointed to the materials on the conference table and said, "For the time being, there are only so many. I have summarized and printed out the rest of the investigation reports and other files. You can look through them yourself."

After hearing this, Liu Hui and others opened the information bag and flipped through it. After a moment, Jiang Hai frowned slightly and said: "There are too few things. Most of them are visit records and investigation reports at that time. The only things that are directly related to the case are those seen on the projector." So many."

"The trouble with this case is that there is little evidence and it takes a long time, so we need to sort it out from the beginning." Song He sighed and said, "I have tried to analyze the criminal's criminal motive."

"You must know that the deceased had lost his vital signs at that time, and he still smashed the deceased's face to pieces, but did not damage the deceased's fingerprints at all, which shows that his behavior has special significance."

"And this meaning is very likely to be related to the appearance of the deceased. So I focused on the appearance of the deceased recovered by the appraisal department, and found that he was somewhat similar to a popular actor at that time."

At this time, Lu Jie happened to flip through the information about the deceased's appearance after demobilization, nodded and said, "Dong Linyi?"

Song He shrugged: "Yes, that's him. Then I read the interview records of the senior police officers at that time, and found that the villagers of Guo Village were vague about any issues involving the deceased, and it was difficult to carry out relevant investigations in the village, so I don’t think the deceased should be a serious thing.”

"If this is the case, no wonder it has been delayed until today." Liu Hui glanced at Wu Xuerui and did not clarify what Song He was alluding to.

Unexpectedly, Wu Xuerui said indifferently: "Guo Village has always been the most traditional and conservative village in our Yucheng. If something outrageous happens, they will definitely cover it up tightly and will never consider calling the police."

Liu Hui frowned, unable to adapt to Wu Xuerui's directness, Jiang Hai had already added: "According to the light and dark resistance in the interview records, I think if it wasn't for someone's death, they would definitely deal with it in private."

"That is to say, it is more difficult to visit." Liu Hui put down the materials and looked at Song He: "If you have any speculations, tell them, we will help you as a staff."

"Some of them are my own guesses, and I really need your help." Song He stood up with a smile and said, "The visits of the seniors back then did not result, but it does not mean that we cannot produce results. More than ten years have passed, and those who covered the case The lid, I can't believe it's still tight."

"First, the criminal has definitely left Yucheng." There is no such criminal in Song He's system, so he is naturally not in Yucheng. However, he still gave the practical reason: "There are two reasons. The first is that the criminal fled the scene after killing. The second reason is that because of his family ugliness, he has no way to stay in Guocun or even Yucheng. Because as long as the criminal is in a place he is familiar with, he will feel being spied on and laughed at. And this mentality will Keep driving him away, as far away as possible.”

"Secondly, the identity of the deceased is still unclear. Even though his facial features have been restored back then, there are still no clear directional clues. Then I guess, either this person was killed shortly after arriving in Yucheng, or He was only active in Guocun, because he didn't have time to impress the people of Yucheng with his star face before he died."

After Song He finished speaking, he paused for a while. Lu Jie nodded and said, "I understand what you mean. According to Article [-], we can investigate the person who left Guocun after the incident, and the direction in which he left can never be Dong Linyi is popular. Because whenever Dong Linyi appears, he will be reminded of his identity as a murderer and the humiliation he suffered. "

"Lao Lu is right." Song He nodded: "For the second point, we need to go to the surrounding cities to verify. As long as we find the last stop before the deceased came to Yucheng, we have a high probability of finding out his identity. .”

"Of course, in addition to the above two points, we also need to visit the old police officer who was in charge of this case to see if there is anything worth noting."

"Understood." Liu Hui suddenly looked at Song He and said, "How to assign specific tasks?"

Song He looked at Wu Xuerui with a smile, tilted his head and said, "Then it depends on Officer Wu Xuerui."

Wu Xuerui gave him a covert look, and her voice was crisp and clear: "Song He and Ma Xue first visited the old police officers, and Liu Hui, Lu Jie, and Jiang Hai investigated the separated population of Guo Village after the incident. As soon as there is news from the two groups, they will gather information for me, and I will do it." case analysis."

"As for investigating the whereabouts of the deceased before coming to Yucheng, we need to collect the information before determining the direction of the investigation."

"clear."
