Forensics

The body of another old man, Wei Sen, was finally found.

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened, and the whole hill seemed to be wrapped in a layer of gray mist.

There are many plants on the mountain, and occasionally some insects can be heard.

Coupled with the corpse of a thin old man hanging under a tree, the whole atmosphere is a bit weird.

The Bao team and several criminal police officers from the sub-bureau were also dumbfounded when they saw this situation, and hurriedly took out the cordon that was not used up in the morning to protect the scene.Then call the branch to report the situation.

Qi Yi'an brought a camera and a survey box.

The camera clicked and took pictures of all the traces of the scene before I dared to come closer.

There are no traces under the tree, and there are no footprints that can be extracted. There is a small pool of water stains left by the victim's incontinence.

After checking the surrounding environment, Shen Junci and Qi Yi'an looked up at the corpse hanging from the tree.

The old man had been dead for a long time, his face was pale, his head was slightly drooping, his tongue was swollen and sticking out, his neck was completely hung on the rope, shaking gently with the night wind.

Shen Junci observed the knot first, and judged coldly: "It's a single-rope looper."

The way the knots were tied is also important evidence.

In order to keep the knot intact, Qi Yi'an stepped on a side stone, Gu Yanchen helped to support the corpse, they cut the hanging rope from the middle in coordination, took off the rope, and gently lowered the old man's body in coordination .

The old man was thin and his body was not heavy.

Shen Junci touched the pocket of the dead body: "I have both the ID card and the phone key. The phone has run out of power and turned off automatically."

This kind of old man who lives alone has no relatives, and if he forgets to bring the key, he can't go home, so he brings everything with him.

"No wonder I couldn't find the location before." Bai Meng carefully took over the evidence, put it in the evidence bag and sealed it.Then she looked at the charging port, took out a power bank, and charged Wei Sen's phone.

Lu Ying helped turn on the flashlight so that the forensic doctors could work, and Qi Yian began to record.

Shen Junci immediately took the body temperature and checked the state of the body.

"The temperature of the corpse is already close to normal temperature, the cornea is cloudy, and the plaque is the second stage of diffusion. The color fades when pressed, and the rigor has reached its peak. Considering it all together, the time of death is about twelve hours."

According to the time, it is almost eight o'clock in the evening, that is to say, the old man was killed at around eight o'clock in the morning.

At that time, less than an hour after Zhao Chuanwen fell off the subway, everyone from the Special Criminal Division had just arrived at the subway station.

Gu Yanchen said: "That is to say, something happened to Wei Sen not long after Zhao Chuanwen's death."

Shen Junci knelt down to check the corpse form.He first paid attention to the face of the deceased: "The deceased's face was congested and swollen, cyanosis was obvious, and a large number of bleeding points were seen on the eyelid conjunctiva."

Then he looked at the neck, and there were obvious red linear traces on the old man's neck.

Qi Yi'an also followed him to check.

Shen Junci pointed to the skin of the old man's neck: "There were two obvious grooves on the neck of the deceased, both of which showed subcutaneous damage and bleeding. One of the two hooks was horizontal, and the indentation was circular. It was caused by rope strangulation. The other one is a figure-of-eight lift, with deep strangulation marks and narrowed sides at the widest point in the middle. This proves that the deceased may have hanged himself in disguise after being strangled, and this is also a case of homicide.”

The situation in front of him was quite typical, so Shen Junci gave Qi Yi'an an analysis and asked him to take pictures and record it.

Then he looked carefully at the strangle marks on his neck, and at a nearby stepped stone.

Shen Junci said: "Judging from the strangle marks on the neck, the murderer is not a skilled hand. He has tried many times, so the marks on the neck are somewhat intricate. The murderer should be a male, with a height of about 1.7 meters five."

After checking it again, he carefully observed the old man's hands, especially the nails: "There is no obvious resistance injury on the body."

Bai Meng frowned and said: "There is no surveillance around this mountain, and there are few people here. I guess there is no video data."

"The murderer still left a lot of clues." Gu Yanchen was using a flashlight to illuminate the surrounding environment, and then he opened his mouth to analyze, "Although the mountain is not too high, it is still about [-] meters away. Even bicycles and battery cars cannot drive up the mountain. There are no obvious signs of dragging on the ground on this road. This should be the scene of the first crime, and it was committed by an acquaintance, and the murderer is very familiar with the environment here. He may have brought a rope and came prepared."

If this was not the scene of the first crime and the murderer killed someone else, he would have to climb a mountain with a dead body on his back, which would take a lot of energy and time, and would be easy to be seen.

There are not many traces of resistance on the comprehensive body, and it is likely that an acquaintance committed the crime.

Moreover, this place is located in a remote place, and people who come here for the first time may not be able to notice it, so the murderer should be familiar with the surrounding situation.

"According to the time information, if the two cases are the same murderer, it is very likely that the murderer came outside the community after pushing Zhao Chuanwen off the subway, and asked Wei Sen out to meet here?" Lu Ying tried to calculate, "That is Say, the murderer lives nearby too?"

Gu Yanchen corrected him: "Familiar with the neighborhood does not necessarily mean living here, it may also be working nearby, or living nearby in the past." Then he summed up, "Over 1.7 meters five, male, or an acquaintance of the deceased. Go back and check , See if there is such a person around the deceased."

If there are still few clues in the subway case, the current case has left a lot of information.

The crime in this case was a bit hasty. Maybe the murderer wanted to kill the witness to silence the witness, or maybe the murderer knew that he had already killed a person, so he smashed the can and smashed it.

In short, the murderer was in a hurry.

Gu Yanchen and Shen Junci cooperated tacitly, and through analysis, many characteristics of the murderer were circled.

Judging only from the traces and corpses left at the crime scene, they have already judged the "portrait" of the murderer.

They had to work overtime tonight, so they couldn't go back for a while. Seeing that it was already eight o'clock, they at least had a few bites of lunch at noon, and a few criminal policemen on the team bought bread at noon to make do with it.

Everyone is so hungry.

Gu Yanchen reminded: "If you are hungry, order a takeaway first. I will treat you tonight."

They have become policemen and often work in the wilderness. Fortunately, there are takeaways now, which is much more convenient.

Bai Meng took out her mobile phone and asked everyone to order fast food. The few people on the Bao team were rude and ordered food too.

When it was time to pay, Bai Meng asked in embarrassment: "How do I write this address?" She discussed with Lu Ying for a long time, and wrote "on a small hillside, to the Union".

Qi Yi'an raised his head and asked, "Can you find the food delivery service? Do you want to add a crime scene next to it?"

Shen Junci lowered his head and was still inspecting the corpse, and said leisurely: "You can write one meter away from the corpse to see if anyone else dares to take the order?"

Gu Yanchen said: "Don't be lazy, let the delivery man deliver it to the intersection below, and pick it up by yourself, and take a look around by the way."

The time from the incident is still very short, and new clues may be found around, such as cigarette butts, ropes, footprints, bloodstains or other traces.

After hearing what he said, Lu Ying and Bai Meng changed it to "at the first fork in the road under the hillside, we arrived at the Telecom Union".

They went down the mountain ahead of time and walked nearby, discussing the case while walking.

It was very quiet in the forest, only the sound of their footsteps and the chirping of insects.

Bai Meng said: "Ordinary people kill people for nothing more than a few things, for money, for love, for revenge. Although these two old people are friends, under what circumstances would the murderer want to kill them at the same time?"

Lu Ying opened her mind: "In the life of the elderly, there will be many conflicts. They also have feelings. You don't know. Some pig-killing dishes are even aimed at the elderly. Also, it may be love killing or jealousy. Vendetta."

Bai Meng said: "I looked through Zhao Chuanwen's chat records, and there are no women close to me. Moreover, young people will be arrogant for a while, but they will have a lot of tolerance when facing the elderly."

Many people think that it is not worth fighting the old people. Even if these old people are not murdered, they may not live for many years. Who would be so eager to do something to the old people?

Lu Ying guessed again: "Then... maybe it's for inheritance. They are all relocated households. Although they look frugal, they should have a lot of savings."

Bai Meng curled her lips: "Are you blind to the law? These two old people have no legal heirs, and the other relatives are far away. According to the law, their inheritance should be nationalized. Even if the murderer killed someone, There may be no benefit."

The hill was not big, and as night fell, it was completely dark.

There was still some way to the fork in the road, Lu Ying turned on the flashlight and shined it ahead.

The night is getting darker and darker, as if it has been mixed with thick ink, and the light of the flashlight can only illuminate a small area in front of it.

While the two were talking, the flashlight in Lu Ying's hand flickered, and it shone on a dilapidated farm building nearby, and a ghostly black shadow suddenly passed by.

Lu Ying was wondering if his eyes were dazzled, he didn't even see clearly whether it was an animal or a person, Bai Meng who was beside him chased him out with a whoosh, and shouted: "Stop!"

Only then did Lu Ying react, and rushed forward.

The black figure ran into the woods when he saw someone chasing him.

The mountain road is rugged and narrow, and only one person can pass through it. In such a place, Bai Meng's figure has an advantage over Lu Ying.

Bai Meng followed closely behind, and Lu Ying followed not far behind them, trying his best to help Bai Meng illuminate, but the figure ran away desperately in front.

Ten meters, five meters, the distance between them is gradually shortening.

Although Bai Meng is a woman, she never gives in to a man. When the distance was only one meter away, she reached out to grab the person in front of her, and the person ducked and dodged her hand.

Bai Meng's hand fell to the ground, but her fingers just hooked off the hat on the man's face.

The hat fell off, and the man suddenly turned around and headed towards her.

Lu Ying reminded from behind: "Be careful..."

When Bai Meng heard this, she hesitated for a moment, she was afraid that the man would hold the murder weapon, and she would lower herself to hide, so she slowed down.

The man didn't take out anything, just made a feint, and ran forward again at a faster speed.

Bai Meng was tricked, and her anger rose: "Damn it! It's actually a slap in the face."

The two were chasing the figure in the forest, when suddenly there was a whoosh sound from ahead, and a police dog jumped out of the darkness, jumping up as high as a person.

The police dog let out a bark, and threw its paws directly on the man's shoulder, directly overwhelming him.

The figure wanted to struggle to get up, and wrestled with the police dog.

"Don't move!" "Don't move!" After several shouts, someone rushed over and held his arm, twisted back and pushed him to the ground.

It was Wuliang and Gu Yanchen who arrived, followed by the team and several criminal police officers from the branch.

It turned out that the police officers at the scene heard the sound and came down to meet them.

Wuliang was laid off and re-employed, and made another contribution, licking his paws aside.

Gu Yanchen took out the handcuffs from behind, preparing to cuff the man's hands.

Bai Meng and Lu Ying also ran up to him and stretched out their hands to pull the man up.

Now they could see more clearly. The one caught was a middle-aged man, thin and not tall.

I came to the scene of the crime late at night, and all aspects were in line with the previous inferences of Gu Yanchen and Shen Junci.

Lu Ying felt that the person in front of him was very suspicious, so he asked sharply, "Why are you running? Did you kill him?"

Bai Meng took out her ID and showed it to him: "City Bureau Criminal Police."

The man pulled his clothes aggrievedly, revealing the yellow shirt inside: "I deliver food, and I don't know who ordered it, and the address is not written clearly. There are too many takeaways to take, so I just say I locked the car and went up to have a look. Then I just climbed up the slope, when I heard someone shouting 'don't move', this black light is blind and deserted, I thought it was a robbery, so I ran away..."

Everyone: "..."

Gu Yanchen: "We ordered."

Only then did Bai Meng realize: "We seem to be going down the mountain to get takeaway?"

Lu Ying hastily apologized: "I'm really sorry, I was absorbed in talking about the case, and then you didn't wear a takeaway clothes, and you were wrapped in black clothes outside, so we thought too much."

Gu Yanchen took the initiative to ask the delivery man, "Isn't it hurt? I'm really sorry, I'll give you another red envelope."

The delivery man was also very reasonable, patted his clothes and walked down the mountain to bring them the fast food: "The people's police have worked hard."

As soon as a "suspect" appeared, the suspicion was cleared. Everyone went back to the mountain to share the food, and continued to work after dinner.

In the evening, the body was carried down the mountain by everyone, and brought back to the city bureau for autopsy, and the criminal policemen could finally get off work.

In the middle of the night, Bai Meng didn't leave, she stayed and took the initiative to work overtime.

The city bureau was a little quiet late at night, she sat in front of the computer and poured herself a cup of hot coffee.

In the evening, she felt that she had made an own mistake and was a little depressed.

Thinking of that scene at night, I was so embarrassed that I wanted to dig a castle out of the ground with my toes.

She really didn't want to go home and sleep, so she wanted to find some more clues to make up for it.

During this period of time, the physical evidence had already been collected and the fingerprints on Wei Sen's phone were sent over, and the phone was also charged.

She turned on the computer and connected to Wei Sen's mobile phone. It was an old man's phone, and the password was easy to decipher.

The first thing to enter was the phone's photo album. She looked at the photos in it and flipped through them one by one.

Suddenly, Bai Meng's fingers stopped, and the person in this photo is...
