You die and die

After leaving the traffic police team, Yuan Che went to the high-end residential area where Sheng Guangnian registered his address.

Indeed, the family never came back, but they did not sell the house. On the contrary, they paid a large amount of property fees, and it seemed that they were ready to come back at any time.

I finally found some clues, but now it's broken again.

All morning, Yuan Che's cell phone was quiet, which meant that neither of the two groups found any useful clues.

Yuan Che contacted Gu Huayu and Liu Lingling respectively, and the result was exactly what he thought.

Gu Huayu and the others questioned the people on duty one by one to make sure that the reporter was not a guest of the hotel.The hotel received two groups of guests from travel agencies that day, and it is very likely that he mixed in with these people and made up for it.

Even if it wasn't, this hotel is a three-star hotel with a larger passenger flow than a five-star hotel, and it's an open place. If anyone comes in or out, they won't pay attention to everyone.

They expanded the scope to search and monitor, and finally had to admit that the mysterious reporter had completely disappeared.

This was fruitless, but it proved their speculation that there was something wrong with the reporter.

Liu Lingling found a KTV called "Sing Ba" through clothing, and that KTV was only one street away from the place where the deceased was found.

When I arrived at that KTV, I was sure that this suit belonged to that KTV.But the person in charge said that no one is missing here.They looked at the registration forms of all employees.After checking the monitoring on the night of the 3rd, and corresponding with the people on the list one by one, it was found that they left work on time the next day after work that day, and no one disappeared.

Is it because the deceased was not an employee of that company at all, or did the entire KTV plan to lie?

Both investigations have no clue.It has been 24 hours since the corpse was found, but the most basic source of the corpse cannot be determined, which is rare.

Now the family of the deceased can only be found through the missing persons notice.

Yuan Che and Zhao Chenguang talked on the phone. Chenguang said that the reconstruction can be done based on the head of the deceased, but this requires technology, materials and time.In terms of technology, there is a related content in the course that Li Mingchen went to study in the forensic department this time. He will be back tomorrow, just for him to try his skills.As for the materials, it is up to the director to compare them.

Back in the bureau, Yuan Che told the chief of his thoughts.

The director frowned, "Why do I hear what you mean, this case is going to get bigger?"

Yuan Che smiled helplessly: "It's hard to say now. I can only say that this murderer came prepared."

The director was very calm, after a while of silence, he agreed to Yuan Che's suggestion and immediately provided materials.

2018年10月8日下午1:25分

A crossroad near a bustling business district, every day at this time, the street will be lively.White-collar workers and blue-collar workers who were in a hurry to go back to work after the lunch break seemed to gather at this intersection at the same time.

A scavenger, wearing a shirt that has not been washed for many days and cannot see the original color, is dragging a shopping cart with not smooth wheels. Then, the things on the car made a ping-pong-pong sound with the vibration.

He walked through the crowd, which was not difficult for him at all, probably because of the unpleasant smell on his body, people who met him automatically avoided and gave him a passage.

He was even a little complacent about such treatment.

The scavengers came to the street, stood up the car, squatted by a trash can, opened the unfilled bags next to the trash can, and watched the people coming and going.Pedestrians throw empty drinks into his bag from time to time.The scavenger grinned with satisfaction, revealing a mouth full of white teeth.He was stirring with a brochure in his hand, trying to drive away the late autumn heat.

The bored scavengers looked back and forth at the passers-by, and they would pay more attention to the women with long legs, and they never got tired of it.

At this time, a young man in his 20s came from the side passage with a selfie stick in one hand and a video camera on, and a mineral water bottle that was almost finished in the other hand, shaking it non-stop.

The scavengers saw that the people around them had almost thrown away the bottles, and dragged the cart with half-full plastic bags to follow the young man.

The young man's face was flushed, and he pulled his collar with two free fingers, and his feet fluttered, showing off to the camera:

"So, I was a blessing in disguise. Although I was beaten up, it was worth it. The whole set of signed books costs several hundred dollars. Are you envious, jealous or not?"

When the young man talked about his rise, he danced a little, and the bottle in his hand almost hit a passer-by, "Also, you must not guess what I ate. The steak is still the steak of Ji Li's. Do you know his house? It's so hard to get a seat. I don't have to wait in line, I just use the VIP membership card and get a discount. The steak tastes really amazing. There's also red wine, although I don't like the taste very much, but at least steak should be paired with red wine. This is the high-end life." As he spoke, he staggered a little, and he seemed to be really drunk.Seeing him shaking his head at the camera, he is probably doing a live broadcast.

The young man walked through the intersection and turned into the path between the two buildings.

"Okay, let's get here first, I have an important date. It's not a girlfriend, but maybe my future depends on him, you know."

After saying this, he disappeared from people's sight.

The scavengers paused at the intersection, but followed into the path.

The captain came to the office of the third group and said that someone reported the crime at 1:43 pm.It took Yuan Che and his team members 25 minutes to arrive at the scene.

The scene is on a small road behind two commercial buildings. Compared with the bustling and bright main street, this place looks dilapidated and gloomy.On the side of the path, I saw the back doors of some restaurants and food waste bins.

This road is not straight, there is a corner in the middle, and the people from the forensic team and trace inspection department who arrived first gathered at the corner.

Because it is a downtown area, the police dispatch was as low-key as possible to avoid attracting large crowds of onlookers.The police pulled the isolation belt close to the corpse, and there were three or two people watching from a distance outside the isolation belt.

When Yuan Che saw the face of the corpse lying on the ground, he showed a slightly surprised expression.

The corpse was also lying flat, with a white silk scarf covering its face. The bright red blood on the silk scarf was still wet, and the entire silk scarf was almost stained red.

"Where's the reporter?" Yuan Che asked the police next to him, and the police pointed to a middle-aged woman in an apron near the inside, "She came out to make a phone call, and while she was on the phone, she walked here and saw the deceased."

Liu Lingling walked towards the reporter immediately behind her.Liu Hecheng glanced at the blood on the body of the deceased, said, "I'll check the intersection monitoring," and ran to the side exit.Gu Huayu went to the place where the back door was open, looking for other witnesses.

Yuan Che stared at the backpack neatly placed beside the deceased, and asked Ke Ran, "Do you think this bag looks familiar?"

Ke Ran was staring at the circle of blood on the corpse's chest, and only after hearing Yuan Che's words did he notice the backpack.

The two looked at each other, neither of them spoke, waiting for Ling Xiaoyu to lift the white silk scarf.

After taking the photo, Ling Xiaoyu lifted the silk scarf, and what she saw was a pair of open eyes, which were already cloudy.There was no expression distorted by fear or pain on his face, and his lips were slightly parted, as if he lost his life the moment he spoke.

Four scratches could be clearly seen on the forehead of the deceased, two short ones at the top and bottom, and two long ones in the middle.

"Like Roman numeral II," Curran said.

Yuan Che looked at this Chinese character face and striking broad nose. When he saw this face last time, the big nose was greasy and his face was flushed with excitement.

He turned to look at Ke Ran who was also staring at the corpse:

"Do you remember him?"

Ke Ran nodded uncertainly: "It seems to be that book fan."

Ling Xiaoyu explained to the intern: "Take a look at his belongings first." Then he asked Yuan Che, "Do you know the deceased?" He squatted next to the corpse, and raised one arm of the corpse, which was not yet stiff.

Yuan Che omitted the intermediate process and simply answered:

"I met once. His name is Chou Shuang, and he is a book fan of a writer named Yu Guang."

The intern hurriedly said: "His name is Ugly Shuang, and there is his ID card in the backpack."

Ling Xiaoyu looked at Yuan Che.Yuan Che caught up with the tiny chance of encountering someone he knew while handling the case.

The initial inspection was completed quickly, and the results were as they had seen.The fatal wound was in the heart, and the murder weapon was likely to be the same kind.The forehead wound was an injury during his lifetime, and there were obvious life reactions.

"The heart was stabbed, how could the amount of bleeding be so small?" Ke Ran asked Forensic Doctor Ling.

Ling Xiaoyu's complexion was not very good, probably because of staying up late yesterday: "Normally, it should be because the murder weapon was not killed immediately, and then pulled out until the heart stopped pumping blood. But according to the forehead wound, when the victim was stabbed, there was no Immediate death means death after pulling out the murder weapon."

"So, there won't be too obvious bloodstains on the murderer."

"He was also very calm. He waited at least 1 minute after the victim's death before taking the murder weapon and leaving." Ling Xiaoyu looked at the unnatural fingers of the corpse, "The deceased's hands were clenched tightly because of the pain, and they were straightened by the murderer. There were bloodstains on the back of the hand. This posture was set before putting the murder weapon.” Ling Xiaoyu checked the eyes of the deceased again, “It is strange that there was no strangulation marks on the neck of the deceased, and there was no bruise in the throat. Asphyxiated foreign objects or lesions. But the corpse’s eyes were congested, and his carotid arteries were also somewhat uneven.” Ling Xiaoyu whispered several possibilities as if talking to himself, and began to ask and answer.

Qiu Chen came over with an evidence bag: "There is a blood-stained paper towel in the trash can in front. The traces on it are used to wipe the elongated cylindrical object, and it is likely to be used to wipe the murder weapon."

Yuan Che looked in the direction Qiu Chen pointed, and there were two half-person-high trash cans side by side on the east side.Judging from the distance from the corpse to the exits on both sides, the trash can where the tissues are located is on the far side.

Liu Lingling came back from the informant and said, "The informant is a dishwasher in a nearby restaurant. She came out to take out the trash at about 1:28, and saw the deceased wandering around the corner, as if she had drunk too much. Shaking. Then she came out at 1:35 and wanted to call the old man at home. Because she was afraid that her colleagues would hear her yelling loudly, she deliberately walked a little farther away. When she came here, she saw the deceased. She said look When I arrived at the body, I didn't notice that there were other people on the road. According to her call records, the time when the deceased was found was 1:38. She was so scared that she ran back to the restaurant, asked the head chef to follow her back to the scene, and then reported Police, the alarm time is 1:42."

"That is to say, the death time of the deceased can be accurate to between 1:28 and 1:38." Ling Xiaoyu squatted on the other side of the corpse, holding the backpack of the deceased in his hand, "Come and have a look. This backpack is the Put it here."

Yuan Che looked at the blood stains left from the face of the deceased on the ground above the corpse's left shoulder.Near the edge of the bloodstain, there was a long strip of blood that was pressed out.Look at one of the straps of the backpack also stained with blood.

"Later, how long does it take for the blood to flow like this?" Yuan Che squatted down and stared at the blood on the ground and asked.

"If the victim is not dead, according to the size of the wound on the forehead and the speed of blood flow, it would take at least 1 minute for such a puddle of blood to flow. In addition, the forehead is covered with a silk scarf, and the blood flow will be slower. If the victim dies halfway, the heart stops pumping blood, and it will take at least 3 minutes for the blood to flow down by gravity."

Ling Xiaoyu leaned closer to the backpack and took a closer look: "There are some white and green things rubbed on this backpack." She stood up, looked around the corpse, and then walked to the wall about one meter away from the corpse , there are four words "No Parking Vehicles" written on the white wall paint.She rubbed her hand, and some of the white wall paint smeared on her hand. "He should be leaning here before he was stabbed. What is that green thing?"

Yuan Che and the others also circled around the corpse, and then expanded their search area.Eventually a green moss-like thing was found on the wall next to a trash can.

After the forensic doctor asked the intern to take samples back for testing, he took off his gloves, frowned and said, "His mobile phone was not found at the scene."

Yuan Che was no longer surprised by this result. He was surprised by the marks on the ugly double backpack. If he leaned against the wall because of unsteady standing, it would be understandable for the wall paint to be rubbed on the backpack, but when he went to the trash can, it would be a mess. Why?

Gu Huayu came back to report.Because it was the peak meal time at noon, the back kitchen was very busy, no one came out to hang around, and they didn't notice anyone passing by on this road.Hearing that woman shouted that she had killed someone, there were two good people who looked at her, and went back to work again.People who work here said that because there are many food waste bins on this path, the smell of sourness is very strong, and few people go in and out in summer.

Ke Ran turned his head and saw the intern open the backpack, revealing several new books inside, none of which had been opened yet.He knelt down and picked up one of them.The author of the book is Yu Guang.He handed the book to Yuan Che and said, "This is the prize from the previous lottery at the signing event. Is he the one who won the prize?"

Yuan Che shook his head and said in a low voice: "After he was thrown that day, he wanted to settle the score with you in spite of himself. Yu Guang calmed down and said that he would be given an extra chance to visit the studio, so he didn't make a fuss. Calculate it should be It must be today."

Ke Ran nodded: "Would you like to visit his studio?"
