After walking out of the tunnel, Liu Zhongyi led the two of them towards the investigators who were making inquiries outside.

"how's it going?"

The investigators all knew Liu Zhongyi, and after calling him "Team Liu," they told him the results of the preliminary inquiry.

First of all, the deceased's name was Wang Qicheng. He was 53 years old and was the main person in charge of the engineering team here.

The time was 7:45 pm. According to several witnesses, after Wang Qicheng greeted them, he walked directly into the tunnel for inspection without calling anyone else. Then ten minutes later, , after several workers entered the tunnel, they discovered the dead body of Wang Qicheng.

At the same time, Wang Qicheng's expression at that time was no different from usual, which could basically rule out any psychological problems.

"How popular was the deceased in the engineering team? Is there anyone he didn't like?"

Liu Zhongyi looked through some records and turned his attention to a man in his forties.

The man was wearing a safety helmet and engineering team uniform, his eyebrows were furrowed and he was in a very depressed mood.

When he heard Liu Zhongyi's inquiry, he smiled bitterly and said: "Lao Wang's reputation, how should I put it? Although he has strict requirements on his subordinates, everyone knows that it is for our own good, and no one deliberately resents anything. .So Lao Wang’s popularity is actually quite good, at least I don’t know what grudges he has with others.”

Liu Zhongyi nodded, asked some more questions, and then closed his mouth. More detailed information will have to wait until the bureau makes follow-up detailed records. This is just a preliminary understanding of the situation.

"Team Liu, the preliminary test report is out."

At this moment, a policeman came out of the tunnel and handed Liu Zhongyi a simple preliminary report.

This report is only a preliminary examination by the technical squadron and forensics at the scene. A specific and more detailed report requires follow-up procedures and better equipment, but even so, many problems can be seen from this simple report alone.

Surface examination of the corpse: a male corpse, 173cm long, with no abnormal development and good nutrition. The face, skull, meninges, and brain tissue were damaged by mechanical deformation, and 70% of the brain tissue disappeared. The skin was pale with no jaundice, the limbs had no deformity, and the finger and toenails were significantly cyanotic.

Internal examination: no abnormalities in the skin, respiratory system, liver, spleen and biliary system. Digestive system, no abnormalities. There were no abnormalities in the genitourinary system. The heart disappeared for unknown reasons, and an on-site inspection found no trace.

Preliminary diagnosis of autopsy pathology: 1. The brain suffered destructive trauma due to unknown reasons, resulting in instant death. 2. The heart disappeared for unknown reasons, and there were no signs of damage on the skin surface of the body cavity.

Preliminary identification is - homicide!

As a veteran police officer, Liu Zhongyi could see the puzzling aspects of this report at a glance. Why did the brain suffer such explosive damage? It's like someone put a bomb inside the dead man's head and then detonated it.

What's even more strange is why the heart of the deceased disappeared?

But no trauma left on the body?

It was as if the deceased was a person without a heart.

And can humans still live without a heart? This is undoubtedly a fantasy.

The technical squadron's on-site investigation did not find a confirmed method of death, nor did it find a lethal object. This is the first time Liu Zhongyi has encountered this strange phenomenon in his 20 years of handling cases.

After receiving the report handed over by Liu Zhongyi, Wang Xinhua and Li Ruide read it one after another and frowned. Especially Wang Xinhua, who couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart and asked: "Captain Liu, this is a bit weird. The deceased's brain exploded into pieces." That’s fine, what kind of killing method can make the heart disappear out of thin air?”

Indeed, except for the huge trauma left on the brain, there were no traces of scars on the rest of the body of the deceased. So why did the heart disappear without a trace for no reason?

"There is no need to rush. We will wait until the body is transported back for autopsy."

"What about the project here?"

Li Ruide pointed to the tunnel in the distance: "This is the project that the city government leaders are focusing on. I'm afraid we can't be delayed."

Hearing what Li Ruide said, Liu Zhongyi suddenly felt a headache. He could imagine that after returning to the bureau, he would definitely be called to the office by the leader and ordered to solve the case as quickly as possible without delaying the project tasks.

But things can never be that simple. The detection rate of criminal cases has never been as high as ordinary people imagine. The kind of cases that can be commended on TV are all solved smoothly, and the cases that are not solved behind the scenes are the former number. times.

Not to mention that this case has a strange and chilling feel from beginning to end, with no clues at all.

"What else can we do? After the on-site survey and photography is completed, discuss with the person in charge to block it for one day, and then unblock it the day after tomorrow after confirmation."

Liu Zhongyi could only give this order.

Li Ruide nodded in agreement, knowing Liu Zhongyi's difficulties.

"I'm afraid this will be very troublesome."

Liu Zhongyi sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, looking a little tired.

"Ding ding..."

At this moment, a cell phone ringtone suddenly came. Liu Zhongyi took out his cell phone and saw that it was a call from home.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

Liu Zhongyi asked after pressing the answer button.

"Lao Liu, Mom fainted again. We are in the hospital now. Do you want to come over?"

A woman's voice on the phone was very anxious.

"Is it still the same problem? Is the condition serious? I still have some things to do here. I'll call you when I'm done."

After telling his wife to take good care of his old mother, Liu Zhongyi put down the phone.

"Captain Liu, how about you go back first?"

After hearing a few words, Wang Xinhua guessed what happened to Liu Zhongyi's family and hesitated.

"What are you talking about? Is it okay for me to leave here?"

The veteran police officer naturally has many years of skills. If Liu Zhongyi is not doing his duty, just because someone knows that he suddenly left his post without permission, there will definitely be trouble when the news reaches the leadership.

"Okay, let's continue working. We will analyze the case tonight and be prepared for a protracted war."

After patting Wang Xinhua on the shoulder, Liu Zhongyi walked forward and continued to learn about the case.

The more they learn about the case, the more confused the criminal police officers become. Judging from the current preliminary understanding, although Wang Qicheng is relatively strict with others in front of others, he is more upright and likes to help others. It can be said that in the engineering team There was no grudge against anyone.

Through his friends, he learned that Wang Qicheng has been working for many years, and his social circle is very small. His interactions with people are all about work. It is difficult to say that he has any enemies because of personal grudges.

Of course, the specific situation will not be known until the family of the deceased arrives.

But now they at least know that in terms of motivation alone, people from the engineering team can basically be excluded, because many people gathered together for dinner at that time, and witnesses provided evidence of their presence, and no one left the public's sight during that time. , except for the deceased.

Excluding the engineering team, then there is another possibility. It was done by strange outsiders?

But after investigating more than a dozen people, no strangers were seen appearing at the construction site. This clue seemed impossible to catch.

Liu Zhongyi and Wang Xinhua conducted on-site interviews with several police officers and learned that before the incident, the deceased's daily behavior was no different from the past. His hearing and vision were normal, and there was no mental problem.

After nearly an hour of on-site interviews with no results, Liu Zhongyi frowned, and Wang Xinhua on the side quickly asked the interviewee to sign the transcript.

"Team Liu, we can hold an on-site meeting."

Li Ruide came over and said.

"Okay, let's do this for now."

Liu Zhongyi signed the transcript and followed Li Ruide to the temporary meeting venue.

After the investigation of a general criminal case, the investigation commander and the personnel involved in the on-site investigation and investigation interviews must hold an on-site meeting to discuss the nature of the case, the number of perpetrators, the time of the crime, and the tools of the crime based on what they found during the investigation and the interviews. Discuss, study and make preliminary judgments on the means of committing crimes, motives and other issues, and decide on the measures that should be taken.

And often in this process, many clues will be discovered, which will be very helpful to the case, so on-site meetings are also particularly important!
