Chapter 20 The Black Forest Illusion [20]

The new officials took office three fires. Weining City changed its deputy mayor a month ago. The deputy mayor took office to focus on urban planning and greening.In order to beautify the city, a week ago, the municipal government purchased a large number of rose flowers and transplanted them to several main avenues in Weining City, including the Bafang Street business district on Dafeng Road.

The workers dug up the roots of the original shrubs in the green belt on the street and planted rose flowers. This project was interrupted by an accident when it reached the south intersection of Bafang Street; a worker dug out the The hand bone of the right hand of the human body... 15 minutes later, the South Intersection was under martial law. The Criminal Investigation Detachment of the First Sub-bureau dispatched the police. Forensic doctors and investigators arrived at the scene and unearthed a ossified female corpse.

The scene where the bones were found was cordoned off, and the surrounding streets were crowded with crowds of onlookers. The journalists with a keen sense of smell led the photographers to stand outside the cordon, and they were broadcasting the appalling event of 'the unnamed female body found in the city center'.The lights of the cameras and the whispering voices of the public rang out at the scene. The police outside kept pushing and shoving the journalists and the people who were trying to cross the cordon. The impatient horns of social vehicles constantly sounded on the blocked road. The scene can only be summed up in one word 'random'.

Xia Bingyang had no choice but to abandon the car all the way, and walked through the crowd with Lou Yue, trotting hundreds of meters before arriving at the scene.

The policemen outside didn't know him, so when they saw Xia Bingyang coming straight over, they stopped him too: "Back!"

Xia Bingyang pushed the police away, set off the cordon and bent over to get in.

Police 'hey! ’ and was about to chase him, Lou Yue raised her hand to hold his shoulder, took out her police officer’s card and put it in front of him: “The investigation team of the Criminal Investigation Squadron of the Southern Taiwan District Branch.”

The policeman pointed at Xia Bingyang's receding back: "Then he—"

"Our captain."

After Lou Yue finished speaking, she quickly walked a few steps and followed Xia Bingyang.

The female body was lying on its side in the green belt, surrounded by several forensic doctors wearing masks. The criminal police scattered around or took pictures to collect evidence, or questioned the gardener who discovered the body, or continued to dig down the hole where the body was found.

Dang Hao and the old forensic doctor of the detachment stood a little further away, talking with unusually serious expressions.

Xia Bingyang squeezed to the front, squatting beside the female corpse, and saw that the female corpse was already ossified, wearing a messy dark red sweater on the upper body, and there was no clothing on the lower body, revealing the pelvis and leg bones attached to the mud.The female body was laid flat on the ground, next to it was a pair of rotten underwear that looked like underwear and a pair of blue jeans covered in dirt. Presumably, these jeans were the missing clothing for her lower body.

The smell of corpses was very pungent, and every time he took a breath, it was like swallowing a big iron ball down his throat. Xia Bingyang squatted on the ground and looked at it for a while, his nose and mouth were already filled with the smell of corpses, which caused his tongue to become a little stiff, and he felt slow. After taking a deep breath, he asked the forensic doctor next to him: "Where is the fatal injury? How long has it been since you died?"

The young forensic doctor pointed to the old forensic doctor who was standing opposite Dang Hao not far away, and said, "Captain Xia, you can ask our director, he is over there."

Xia Bingyang got up and walked towards the forensic doctor. He glanced at Dang Hao's gloomy face before asking, "Old Geng, how long has he been dead?"

The old forensic doctor looked at his face, and he was gurgling, his voice was not high, and he couldn't speak clearly, which was covered by the noisy people around him, so he couldn't hear it.

A reporter diagonally across was lying beside the cordon, desperately handing in a microphone, shouting at the police.

Xia Bingyang tried hard to distinguish the old forensic doctor's words, but the old forensic doctor couldn't speak clearly, and his voice was getting weaker and weaker, with a lazy look on his face.Xia Bingyang cast a ray of light in the corner of his eyes, slanted past Dang Hao, and then looked at the old forensic doctor, and immediately saw through the tacit understanding between the two.

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned around and yelled at the shouting reporters: "Shut the fuck up!"

The camera on the side captured his ferocious appearance.

Xia Bingyang turned his head, looked gloomy, looked at the old forensic doctor and said, "Speak, old Geng."

The old forensic doctor looked at Dang Hao unnaturally, and then said: "It's been three years since she died. Judging by the autumn clothes she was wearing, it was probably between September and December 16."

"cause of death?"

The old forensic doctor raised his hand and gestured on the neck, and said: "The left side of the neck has a penetrating wound, and the wound identification has not been done yet."

Xia Bingyang frowned: "The left side of the neck?"

At this time, the surveyor of the Survey Institute shouted loudly: "Party team, I found a satchel, which seems to belong to the deceased!"

Xia Bingyang immediately turned his heels and was about to walk back. He stopped after taking a step, looked back at Dang Hao, and called out on purpose: "Party team."

Dang Hao's face was still gloomy, and he didn't show any emotion other than that. He glanced at Xia Bingyang expressionlessly, and said, "Go and have a look."

Xia Bingyang and he maintained the same pace and returned to the pit where the corpse was exhumed.

The criminal police dug out a yellow lady's bag, which contained a small mirror, lipstick, hand cream, etc. In addition to these scattered small things, there was also a wallet.The criminal policeman opened the wallet, and there were several damp and rotten banknotes of different sizes in the inner compartment.

The criminal police checked it again, looked at Dang Hao, shook his head, and said, "I don't have an ID card."

Dang Hao squatted down, put on white gloves, took the wallet and checked it carefully, then threw the wallet on the ground, saying: "It should be taken by the murderer to hide the identity of the victim."

Xia Bingyang also squatted down, carefully looked at the left side of the female corpse's neck, and found an obvious cut wound on the third cervical vertebra above the sternum in the neck. It seems that the deceased also died of a penetrating neck injury.

It's just that she was injured on the left side of her neck...

Dang Hao kept staring at Xia Bingyang silently, and didn't say a word when Xia Bingyang checked the corpse himself, until he stopped to look at the corpse, and said: "What do you see?"

Xia Bingyang glanced at him and said, "The fatal wound of the deceased is on the left side of the neck."

"so what?"

Xia Bingyang looked at him, but did not answer directly: "Her lower body was naked|naked, her hands were tied behind her underwear, and she was raped before or after her death. The murderer's modus operandi is the same as that of Peng Mao who killed Hong Xin."

Dang Hao raised his index finger and middle finger to scratch the right side of his neck, and said with a smile, "But Hong Xin's injury is on the right side."

Xia Bingyang paused and said, "What does the party team think?"

Dang Hao said coldly: "It may be an imitation."

Xia Bingyang forced a smile: "Imitate Peng Mao? Didn't you just say that the deceased's injury was on the left side, while Hong Xin's injury was on the right side?"

Dang Hao said: "The murderer who killed Hong Xin was Peng Mao, and Peng Mao was left-handed, so Hong Xin's wound was on the right. The deceased's wound was on the left, which means that the murderer used his right hand. Either the murderer used his right hand to do it. Separate yourself from Peng Mao, or the murderer is different from Peng Mao and is right-handed."

Peng Mao is left-handed, and Hong Xin's fatal injury was on the right side of the neck. This has been verified six years ago, and related statements can be found in Peng Mao's statement.The facts are indeed as Dang Hao said, in order to satisfy his desire to conquer, the murderer will choose to rape|kill the victim from the front.

For example, Peng Mao is left-handed, so Hong Xin's penetrating injury was on the right side of the neck.At this time, the deceased was wounded on the left side of the neck, indicating that the murderer either deliberately distinguished himself from Peng Mao, or did not use his right hand.

But Xia Bingyang also noticed the deep meaning hidden in Dang Hao's words: "The party team is so sure that the murderer who killed the deceased was a copycat?"

Dang Hao looked at him quietly, and said, "The deceased died three years ago, and Peng Mao died six years ago. Does he still have a chance to kill someone?"

Xia Bingyang dismissed the clues about finding out that Hong Xin had taken a taxi before his death, and only struck up a conversation with a smile, perfunctory.

After the on-site investigation was completed, nothing was found except the lady's bag. Dang Hao ordered someone to transport the body back to the first sub-bureau. Before closing the team, he asked Xia Bingyang, "Come back with me?"

Xia Bingyang smiled and said, "No, everyone is busy."

Dang Hao patted him on the shoulder meaningfully, and then led the team away.

The blocked intersection resumed traffic, and the crowd followed the police and reporters away, leaving only the dark and damp corpse pit where the woman's body was exhumed, and curious passers-by who poked their heads inside.

Xia Bingyang was walking on the pedestrian street, with his hands in his trouser pockets, slowly turning a lighter in his pockets, walking with his head slightly down, ignoring Lou Yue beside him for a while.

Lou Yue has been waiting for him to speak, but she still hears his silence, and said anxiously: "Say something quickly!"

Xia Bingyang said: "Call Dongzi and ask him to bring Peng Jiashu back to the bureau. Contact Lang Xixi and ask her to check the missing persons in Weining City in 16, and find a way to get an autopsy report of the deceased from the first sub-bureau."

He just walked by the door, without stopping for a moment, Lou Yue suddenly stopped, stretched out his hand to stop him, and asked, "What exactly do you want to investigate?"

Xia Bingyang stopped, turned around slowly and looked at Lou Yue, and said solemnly: "I want to find out whether the person who killed Hong Xin six years ago was actually Peng Mao.
