Return to 1983 and be a detective

The story of the case is this.

Just two days ago, a fisherman went fishing by the water.

This is the time of spring floods. Once floods occur, fish will become very stupid.

This kind of fish is easy to take the bait, so many people take advantage of the flood to fish.

The fishing men of this era have not yet learned the self-righteous fishing philosophy from the Japanese slaves. Everyone fishes just to eat fish, not to have high ambitions of seclusion and to be different.

This fishing guy was also very lucky. He was extremely lucky that day. He kept pulling in the small fish like crazy. In the words of later generations, he pulled in the small fish until it was full of fish.This situation made the fisherman feel a little dizzy, and he decided to fish for a while longer.

As a result, something went wrong while fishing, and a body hung on his hook.

If you look closely, it's still a female corpse.

This female corpse was very beautiful. Even though she was swollen from the water, she was still very charming.

The strange thing is that the female corpse seemed to be smiling, always looking at the fisherman and smiling.

The fisherman was so frightened that he threw away his fishing rod and ran away. When he recovered, he hurriedly reported the case.

When the police arrived, they fished out the female corpse and took a look. They were dumbfounded. The skull of the female corpse had been uncovered. It was empty inside, except for a brain.

This is a bit scary. Did her brain get eaten by the fish after she died, or did she lose her brain during her lifetime?

The police couldn't come to a conclusion either.

And just when they were about to ask a senior forensic doctor to investigate, a new female body appeared again.

This time, the female body was not discovered by a fisherman, but by some sand collectors in the canal.

Construction is going on everywhere these days, building houses, and sand is valuable.

Sand can be fished directly from the river. It only costs labor and transportation money, which is equivalent to no capital and profit. Therefore, many people have decided to dig out sand.

In fact, many wealthy people in later generations who were engaged in real estate basically made their first pot of gold by digging sand.

These workers who dug the sand pulled up a female corpse from the bottom of the water. She was also smiling. The beautiful female corpse was also brainless.Since the female body was dumped at a similar location and the body was in a similar state, it can basically be determined that it was the work of the same criminal.

And it is basically certain that the brains of the two female corpses were dug out before the corpses were dumped, and it was not the small fish that ate their brains.

Generally speaking, killing a lot of people is actually relatively common in the eyes of criminal police. After all, they have seen many major and important cases, and they will become numb after seeing too many dead people.

But this method of digging out human brains is really outrageous.

The superiors took it very seriously, so they assigned the case to the Longshui Criminal Investigation Building.

When Xu Shan received the case, he had to stop the investigation into the history of Zhuhai. At the same time, he transferred back the Li Yanzi group from the new eight groups. The five people got on the train directly and came to the northern part of Lin Province. Along the canal in Jiaping area.

People say that Jiangnan is a water town. In fact, the real water town is in places like northern and southern Jiangsu. The water network here is dense, and there are poems to prove it. When you go to Jiangnan, everyone will be surrounded by rivers.A boat goes out and comes in, and an oar is used to welcome and send off guests.

Mao Dayong, the director of the Jiaping Public Security Bureau, brought his comrades from the bureau to greet Xu Shan and others in person. After seeing Xu Shan, he shook hands with Xu Shan cordially: "Comrade Xu Shan, your reputation as a detective is so well known to me. I have also admired your name for a long time."

Xu Shan quickly said politely: "Mao Ju, you are really flattering me. I am just a junior, I just have better luck."

"Luck? How can solving a case be solved by luck? Comrade Xu, please don't be too modest. Come on, let me tell you more about the case while you're gone."

As Mao Dayong walked, he told Xu Shan the progress of the case these days, but Xu Shan frowned more and more as he listened.

Because the information they have now is basically the same as what Mao Dayong said, which means that there is basically no progress in this case.

What Xu Shan has to do now is how to determine the source of the corpse.

"Bureau Mao, can our comrades cooperate with us to conduct investigations in the villages on both sides of the canal? I think we can start from where the corpse floated to determine the source of the corpse."

"This is definitely possible, and it is within our scope, but there is one thing I have to say first. We are a water town with dense water networks and a very complex water system. Basically, even the elderly who are familiar with our local water system, You may not be able to tell where the water is flowing."

"How is that possible? Doesn't water flow eastward?"

"Comrade Xu, you are wrong. Although it is said that all water will one day return to the sea, and the general direction can also be said to flow to the east, the problem is that in the process, some water flows from It flows from north to south, but some water flows from south to north, some water flows from east to west, and some water flows from west to east. For the water here, you have to see where it goes. . Some flow into the canal, some flow into Taihu Lake, and some flow directly into the sea, so it is not feasible to try to figure out where the bodies floated from."

Xu Shan really hasn't thought about this problem, but now it seems that what Mao Dayong said is true.

But Xu Shan is also a relatively persistent person. Unless he really doesn't work after trying it, he won't give up just because he wants to.

So he invited Zhang Xing again, and asked Zhang Xing to draw restoration images of these two brainless girls without skulls. After making copies, he handed them to the comrades of the Jiaping Public Security Bureau and asked them to go down and investigate.

This investigation work was carried out for three consecutive days, but little was achieved.

The reason is very simple, because the transportation on both sides of the canal is relatively developed, and Linbei and southern Jiangsu are relatively wealthy, and there are more people working here, so it is very difficult to investigate.

No one knows who this girl without a skull is.

Mainly because the water veins are so complicated, no one can tell where the corpse floated here from.

Xu Shan and Li Yanzi's team stayed here for several days, doing investigation all the time, but they made no progress. As time went by, everyone became irritable.

On this day, Xu Shan called the Li Yanzi group together for a meeting. In the conference room, Xu Shan specially found a blackboard. He wrote and drew on the blackboard, and then said to everyone: "Comrades, our current situation is not good. Ah, we don't have much information at the moment, and we have been investigating for so many days to no avail. Now I'm calling everyone here, actually, I just want everyone to brainstorm again, and I hope you can come up with a good solution that I can't think of. "

The four people in Li Yanzi's group looked at each other in confusion.

After a while, Lao Hei Bao spoke: "Master Xu, if we can't find any clues from the source of the corpse, how about we look for those with criminal records in the past?"

Before Bao Laohei finished his suggestion, he was interrupted by Ma Qing: "Do you think our past platoons were all good platoons? I don't know what the area is like in the area you are responsible for. Anyway, in the area I am responsible for, I We start with the bad guys first."

Bao Laohei was not very happy when he heard this: "Xiao Ma, what's wrong with you? Didn't we agree that this is a brainstorm? Since it's a brainstorm, don't veto me."

Ma Qing also accepted the criticism and was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I just want to say that your method is of no use. I accidentally hurt your self-esteem, so I apologize."

Bao Laohei was so angry that his mouth was a little crooked.

He and Ma Qing were classmates, and they were assigned to the Li Yanzi group at the same time. The two had a competitive relationship, and they became a bit noisy when discussing, and they seemed to be like enemies.

Fang Yongjun on the other side quickly smoothed things over and said, "Don't argue anymore, I think we can look at the problem from another angle. We may start with the relationship between the victim and the suspect, and think about the circumstances under which the suspect can Reach out to this victim.”

Fang Yongjun's suggestion made everyone feel enlightened, so everyone started an in-depth discussion on this aspect.
