Forensics

After six o'clock in the evening, the whole city was covered by dark clouds, and neither the stars nor the moon could be seen in the sky.

Shen Junci returned to the Municipal Bureau, took a few mouthfuls of food in a hurry, and after finishing all his affairs, he came to the criminal investigation building.

Dai Xiarong has been taken to the City Bureau and locked in the interrogation room.

Several criminal policemen had already sat in the observation room.Bureau Ding also attached great importance to this case, and came to listen to the interrogation process in person. He sat directly opposite, with a serious face, staring at Dai Xiarong who was sitting on a chair in the interrogation room.

After Shen Junci entered, he stood quietly aside.

That Dai Xiarong looked to be in his 40s, a little skinny, with a dark brown complexion.He looks a little dull, giving people a kind of honest first impression, but when he speaks, it's not the same thing at all.

At the beginning, Dai Xiarong was still stubborn, denying all the facts of the crime.

Gu Yanchen showed Zuo Junming the rosters found in Zuo Junming's residence: "Dai Xiarong, there are some people here who were cremated on your side, right? And several of them were operated by you yourself."

Dai Xiarong quibbled: "I don't know anything."

Gu Yanchen asked, "Did you not make any small moves?"

Dai Xiarong hummed, and lowered her head a little guilty.

Gu Yanchen had been waiting for him to say this for a long time: "We have exported all the monitoring of the crematorium. You have violated many regulations during the cremation process."

He put a few photos of surveillance screenshots on the desktop. In those photos, Dai Xiarong was furtively distributing the ashes.

Seeing that the police had evidence, Dai Xiarong was stunned for a moment. He changed his words and said, "Ghost marriages are not uncommon. They existed as early as the Shang Dynasty, and special ghost matchmakers appeared in the Song Dynasty. There are even men who specialize in matching. It's tradition..."

"You are stealing the ashes, desecrating the bones, and disturbing social order." Lu Ying didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and directly pointed out the laws and regulations to him, "Not only will you be sentenced, but you will also confiscate the illegal gains. If you can report meritorious service, you can fight for a reduced sentence."

Dai Xiarong was silent for a moment, and then began to pretend to be pitiful: "We work in a crematorium, and the work is busy and tiring, which is also unlucky. The salary we earn is only a few thousand a month, and I was asked a lot, so I did a little bit... ...Is there no one around you who needs this?"

Having said that, he lowered his voice and poked his head forward: "Police officer, please be accommodating. If you need me in the future, you can come to me and I will give you a discount."

Hearing this, Ju Ding's mouth twitched while sitting in the observation room.

Shen Junci also reached out and stroked his forehead.

Gu Yanchen froze, and turned his head expressionlessly to tell the recorder on the side: "Bribe the policeman, and write this down as well."

Dai Xiarong quickly waved his hands: "Don't, don't, just kidding, I just sold a few orders to the police."

Gu Yanchen asked: "You tell me honestly, how much did you sell?"

Dai Xiarong stammered a little: "It's only ten orders."

Lu Ying pointed to Dai Xiarong's information and said, "Only ten orders? You bought a house the year before last and a new car this year. These are all your illegal gains, right?"

Dai Xiarong's bank account information has long been printed, and there are dozens of large non-salary deposits.One by one is marked out.

Dai Xiarong is obviously not Gu Yanchen's opponent.

After being asked, the whole person finally fainted, and revealed some inside information of the industry, trying to change the leniency.

Generally speaking, the ashes were bought clearly, that is, from the parents and relatives of the deceased.Many relatives do not have the grief that the world imagines. They can buy a woman's ashes for as little as one or two thousand, and as many as three or five thousand.

If the dialogue is to test that the other party does not want to sell, they also have a way, which is to manipulate secretly.

Before cremation, the hair, nails, and close-fitting clothing of the female corpse were removed as credentials.Then go to the register and copy down the name and ID number, and inquire about the birth date on the grounds of praying for blessings.

After the cremation, the general workers will collect the ashes. For safety, the general family members are not allowed to get close to the incinerator.

When it comes to picking up ashes, there are many ways inside.

Some people are fatter and collect so many ashes that they can't fit in one urn.

In addition, after the corpse is burned, there will be more or less residual ashes, and the crematorium will also collect the residual ashes.

They also often encounter some public welfare burnings, such as homeless people, disabled people in welfare institutions, elderly people living alone, and death row prisoners. After these people died, their bodies were not claimed by relatives. The streets and police stations ruled out homicide. After issuing the death certificate, Usually they will also be cremated.For the ashes of these people, the crematorium can also dispose of them at will.

The ashes are just powder, and there is no name written on it.

So the workers have practiced a good way of stealing the beam.

Relatives go in and burn, and after the formalities are completed, I will give you a jar. As for whether it contains the ashes of your relatives, it is hard to say.

As a result, the ashes of the real female corpse will be replaced by other ashes.

Then they sold the prepared ashes, kept the entry and exit video, and added a bunch of previous things as vouchers.

This bad habit has been around for a long time, but in the past there were many burials, most of which were female corpses.

Now that there are more cremations, many families have begun to collect ashes. At first, the ashes of young women are not so valuable, and the demand is also low. These years the tide has increased.

There are more buyers, which makes these gray business people richer, and finally even formed an industrial chain, which gradually gave birth to a new industry.

The ashes sold are called "jars" in their slang, and the intermediary matchmakers are called "ghost matchmakers".

These were some sensational and unimaginable things, but Dai Xiarong confessed them just like that.

While talking, Dai Xiarong said plausibly: "Why don't you arrest the buyers? If no one buys them, we sell this item only when we are sick. Those rich people knelt down and begged us one by one. It was only out of kindness that I sold it to them.”

"Go and check, there are so many crematorias everywhere, which one doesn't do this business?"

"In our business, those who don't do this are fools. If you arrest us all, who will do the job later?"

Director Ding heard the last breath of smoke: "Check! Give me a hard look! I don't believe it anymore, let them mess around."

There is no family member who has passed away, especially Ding Ju's family has a daughter.

Thinking of these things happening almost every day in Penang, Director Ding felt his chest tight.

After listening for a while, Bureau Ding angrily went to call the city leaders, saying that he wanted to rectify the funeral industry in Penang as a whole.

The industry insider asked about the same thing, and Gu Yanchen also brought the subject of the interrogation to Zuo Junming's case.

Dai Xiarong said: "Zuo Junming is a well-known ghost matchmaker in this industry. If the whole of Penang wants to make a good jar, he can't get around him. He knows a lot of rich people, and he also knows some Feng Shui people. In those circles Famous, everyone calls him Zuo Shenxian. An ordinary business is only [-], but Zuo Junming has the ability to sell at a high price."

This is also consistent with what Gu Yanchen found out before, and he continued to ask: "Then recently, has Zuo Junming offended anyone?"

Dai Xiarong thought for a while, and his eyes suddenly widened: "Yes... there is something. I thought there was something wrong when he did it, but he got into money's eyes at that time."

Gu Yanchen said: "Tell me about the matter in detail."

Only then did Dai Xiarong speak: "The ashes are divided into three, six, and nine grades. The young and beautiful ones are more expensive. It is even said that they were virgins before their death. They have studied well, and some people ask for a high price. That was last month. A top-quality golden jar came out of the city. It's that Miao Yihe."

Gu Yanchen frowned and asked, "Why is that female school bully Miao Yi?"

Dai Xiarong nodded: "Yes, that's her."

Shen Junci also had an impression of this name.

Miao Yihe is only 23 years old this year. She is good-looking and comes from a well-educated family. She studies well and is proficient in six foreign languages. This girl appeared on a variety show and won the championship with a high IQ. After that, she has many fans and Suitors.There were even wealthy families who extended an olive branch to her. Just when people were speculating whether she would be able to marry into a wealthy family, Miao Yihe suddenly suffered from asthma at home and unfortunately passed away.

Dai Xiarong explained: "It's an illness, not an accidental death. The body is intact, with height, body, talent, appearance, and everything is fine. Last month, several wealthy families broke their heads in order to marry Miao Yihe."

Gu Yanchen asked: "Then the price of this marriage is very high?"

"It's not just Gao." Dai Xiarong sighed, "I just hate that the corpse wasn't burned here." He gestured three fingers after speaking.

Lu Ying raised her head and guessed, "30?"

Dai Xiarong shook his head: "In the end, the price even soared to 300 million. But Miao Yihe's family is not short of money, and they won't sell it after contacting several times. Lao Zuo can only buy the crematorium and do it himself."

This price is really outrageous.

No wonder Zuo Junming took the risk.

These ashes traffickers decided her whereabouts after death behind the back of the girl's parents and relatives.

No matter how much the money is, it's all stained with blood.

But Dai Xiarong said it in an envious tone, which made people sick.

After talking about the process, Dai Xiarong said again: "However, the price is not too high. Look at the current urns and cemeteries that have been sold at sky-high prices. It is at least tens of millions of ostentation to have a male relative. But it is a few million to have a female relative. , in the eyes of those rich people, it’s a drop in the bucket. They even think that the more money they spend, the more worth it.”

Gu Yanchen asked, "What happened next?"

Now that Zuo Junming is dead, it means that once the business has gone wrong.

Dai Xiarong sighed: "Later, when I was about to sell it and paid the deposit, another family came to find me and wanted to marry Miao Yihe, and the price was even higher than the previous one. Lao Zuo has been in this business for so many years." Yes, his reputation has always been very good, but I never thought that he would do such a thing for money this time..."

Lu Ying frowned and asked, "He won't sell fake ones?"

Dai Xiarong nodded: "When he saw that the price was too high, he became greedy, and he didn't dare to look for the crematorium that burned Miao Yihe, for fear of leaving clues and traces and causing the matter to be exposed. So he gave me some money, Let me find some remains of ashes, mix Miao Yihe's ashes in and divide them into two altars. One daughter married twice, breaking the rules of yin marriage, this is a big taboo. I reminded him at that time, don't do this, he But he said that those two families probably wouldn't know..."

But in this world, there is no impenetrable wall.

Speaking of this, Dai Xiarong raised his head and looked at Gu Yanchen: "I think Lao Zuo has suffered retribution."

The word "retribution" came out of his mouth, which was a bit ironic.

Gu Yanchen asked: "Do you know who is buying Miao Yihe's ashes?"

Dai Xiarong shook his head.

In the observation room, Shen Junci's cell phone vibrated suddenly. He hurried outside and answered the call. After a while, when he came back, the interrogation was almost over.

After Gu Yanchen asked, he finally connected all the clues.

Zuo Junming's case, on the surface, looks like a domestic violence wife's revenge case, but behind it may be that the dark-married buyer became angry after discovering that he was cheated, hired a murderer, and then tried to blame Zuo Junming's wife Zhang Can be north.

The killing process was not only to disguise the case as a revenge case, but also a kind of interrogation and torture.

What the other party wanted to ask was the whereabouts of the other half of Miao Yihe's ashes.

After an interrogation ended, Gu Yanchen came to the observation room.

He saw Shen Junci standing at the side and nodded at him.

"Fortunately, you paid more attention to find out what happened next. If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I would never have thought that this industry has become so chaotic." Director Ding sighed, "You should investigate this case as soon as possible. .”

Gu Yanchen nodded: "There should not be many people in Penang who can afford millions of shady marriages."
