Tiger Police

Chapter 635 Plastic Bags

Because they are very familiar with each other, Ding Jian can roughly guess what he is thinking when he looks at Hu Pingtao's expression: "Don't count on surveillance. When the old city was rebuilt, all the residential buildings in this area were demolished and retreated behind the red line. .The nearest camera is at the intersection 300 meters away."

Hu Pingtao shook his head and sighed softly: "Murdering and dumping corpses, this is the lower end of the river, so there is no way to determine the exact spot where the corpses were dumped. The river flows straight down. Judging by the degree of decay of the deceased, it may fall into the water somewhere upstream." .”

Ding Jian pointed at the black plastic bag on the deceased's body: "This is a large garbage bag. I just saw that there were a total of twelve such bags tied to the deceased's body, from neck to ankle. The bags were wrapped with bricks, and the purpose was to sink the dead."

Hu Pingtao watched the corpse analysis: "After soaking in the water for a long time, it swelled after rot, and the buoyancy increased, so it floated?"

Ding Jian nodded and explained: "There are not many bricks. After killing people, wrap them in plastic bags and use bricks to gain weight. This kind of thing can't be done outside. Even at night, in the middle of the night, there are security personnel by the riverside Patrol. Even if someone occasionally sees a pedestrian on the road, it’s a big deal.”

Hu Pingtao nodded and picked up the topic: "So the process of increasing the weight of the corpse can only be carried out in the house. After finishing the preparations, the murderer carried the deceased to the river and threw the corpse into the water."

Ding Jian said: "I just said that this woman has a good figure, and there is a basis for it. Don't look at her arms and thighs are rotten now, and she is soaked in water like a big radish. In fact, she weighs very light, about 48 kilograms. , [-], [-] are most likely."

Hu Pingtao glanced at him: "You have nothing to do all day long, so you just study this?"

Ding Jian said seriously: "I am a forensic doctor! What can I study if I don't study this?"

Hu Pingtao said: "Looks like I have to keep my wife away from you in the future."

"Cut!" Ding Jian said disdainfully, "You think wrong."

Jokes are jokes, case analysis continues.Hu Pingtao said seriously: "This can explain why there are not many bricks wrapped around the body of the deceased. There are two reasons. One is that the body should not be carried too heavy, otherwise you will make trouble for yourself. Second... I guess the murderer Although preparations have been made in advance, bricks are really hard to find."

Ding Jian looked at him knowingly: "The construction site is very strict now, and ordinary people cannot enter."

Hu Pingtao nodded and smiled: "For sure. Without a helmet and a pass, the security guards on the construction site will not let people go easily."

Ding Jian suddenly thought of another possibility: "What if the murderer pretends to buy a house, pretending to be looking at the real estate?"

Hu Pingtao shook his head and asked back: "Have you ever seen a house inspector who would leave with a lot of bricks? No money to buy a house, keep it as a souvenir? Or run around in various construction sites, stealing steel bars and bricks, and getting back the bricks from the house?" Build yourself?"

Ding Jian frowned and asked, "You mean, the murderer is a premeditated murder?"

Hu Pingtao nodded first, and then said: "But there is one thing I don't understand."

Ding Jian asked, "Which point?"

Hu Pingtao strode forward, lifted the broken black plastic bag that covered the body of the deceased, pointed to the swollen left hand of the female corpse: "Look at this."

Following the direction he pointed, Ding Jian saw a transparent plastic bag tied to the left forearm of the female corpse.

"What is this?" Ding Jian suddenly became interested and asked suspiciously.

Hu Pingtao smiled and explained: "When I was talking with those two old fishing men just now, I saw your autopsy from a distance. At that time, you only focused on examining the head and upper body of the deceased, and didn't have time to see the wrist. And the deceased just Not long after it was picked up from the water, the wrist was entangled with aquatic plants and some sundries, I guess you didn't notice it."

Ding Jian smacked his lips and really wanted to say something, but after searching his guts, he could only sigh resentfully.

Careless!If he had known this was the case, he would not have discussed the case with Hu Pingtao in the middle of the autopsy.

"I don't think there's anything special about this plastic bag!" Ding Jian said that he would never admit defeat: "Look for yourself, it's wrapped around the dead man's arm, and it's tied in a knot, obviously it has the same function as the black garbage bag on his body. , are used to carry heavy objects.”

As he said that, Ding Jian bent down and squatted down, stared at the wrist of the deceased for a few seconds, and said seriously: "I'm really not talking nonsense, come and see for yourself, there are two stones in the bag."

Hu Pingtao nodded and smiled, "I know the bag must contain stones. What I mean is, why is the black plastic bag wrapped around the deceased's body? Why is the transparent plastic bag tied around the deceased's arm?"

"Does this need to be said?" Ding Jian felt that this was not a problem at all, and said frankly: "These are two plastic bags of completely different specifications and sizes. Let's talk about the black one on the body of the deceased first. The open length is at least 1.5 meters, and if the handles on both sides are separated, the length must be more than two meters. This kind of plastic bag is not commonly used at home, but it can be bought in any plastic bag wholesale store.”

"This kind of large plastic bag is mainly used to hold bedding, or clothes and other items. The bag itself is very thick and strong, and it is difficult to tear. The price is not cheap, it only costs two yuan. Of course, If it is wholesale, you can buy a lot at a time, and it will definitely be cheaper."

Speaking of this, Ding Jian stood up and gestured with his hands on his belly: "I noticed this problem during the autopsy before. You see, the black plastic bag on the deceased's body was opened and wrapped around the deceased's body. loop before tying and knotting."

Hu Pingtao nodded: "Yes. This has an advantage. The murderer stuffed the bricks into a plastic bag, twisted the whole bag into strips, and then tied it up. In this way, the bricks stuffed inside The block is fixed and will not shake due to the large size of the plastic bag."

Ding Jian agreed: "So the murderer had already made preparations before killing the victim and bought this large black plastic bag in advance."

Hu Pingtao took a step forward, pointed to the female corpse lying on the ground, and explained: "Look here, and there, the corpse is divided into different stages from the neck to the ankle, all wrapped in black plastic bags. You haven't done the initial inspection, but I can roughly estimate the number of bricks for weight gain."

Ding Jian understood this: "One brick in a plastic bag, ten is ten. I think these weights are about the same. If there are more, it will be a burden to the murderer. Even if he first removes the body from the crime scene Put it in a car, and then drive it to a secluded place by the river and throw it into the water, is it difficult to carry it just for these two distances, so it really can’t add more weight.”

Hu Pingtao nodded: "From this point of view, it can basically be judged that there is only one murderer."

Ding Jian said: "That's for sure. If there are two people, the way to dispose of the corpse may not be as simple as adding weight and throwing it into the water. The safest way is to drive the dead outside the city, dig a pit and bury it."

Hu Pingtao said: "Let's go back to the transparent plastic bag on the dead man's wrist. Look, there is one tied to each of the left and right hands. Look at the black plastic bag tied to the dead man's body. What did you think of?"

Hearing what he said, Ding Jian suddenly lost his interest in joking, and focused on the dead man's wrist.

Stones were placed in two transparent plastic bags, also for weight gain.

"This is a special plastic bag for Xuelan milk." Ding Jian said suddenly.

Hu Pingtao nodded and smiled.

He had seen the source of the transparent plastic bag before.

Xuelan Milk is a local star enterprise.The dairy products are of very good quality and moderately priced.The word "fresh milk" and the company logo are prominently displayed on the transparent plastic bag.As long as you buy products under Shenlan Milk, regardless of boxed fresh milk, yogurt, milk beer...the merchants use this kind of bag as packaging.

Ding Jian frowned and asked, "Even if it is a special plastic bag for Xuelan milk, what can it explain?"

Hu Pingtao explained: "According to the usual practice, the first thing we have to do is to identify the deceased. It has been a while since the deceased was killed, and he only had a suspender nightdress on his body. Besides, there are no extra clues to be found. More What's worse is that the body and appearance of the dead have all changed due to the decay and the soaking in water."

"We can only find clues from the origin of the plastic bags. Black plastic bags are very difficult. Although these large bags are not used much, they can be bought in many places in the city. Many people like to use them when they move. Plant bags for clothes and bedding, so..."

"You're wrong." Ding Jian shook his head, not agreeing with this: "The murderer certainly wouldn't have bought such a large plastic bag to store it away. I guess it happened recently. As long as he is willing to spend time And energy, run more plastic bag wholesale shops, it should be rewarding!"

Hu Pingtao glanced at him angrily: "I haven't finished talking yet! Why are you in a hurry. What you said is actually what I want to say. Since we both agree on this issue, there is no need to Continuing to investigate the black plastic bags, let’s analyze the special bags for Xuelan milk.”

"There are many distributors of Xuelan milk. Basically, as long as there is a canteen, you can buy Xuelan milk. But this kind of plastic bag with a label is only available in specialty stores, and ordinary distributors cannot get it. "

Ding Jian is very smart and understands immediately: "That is to say, except for the manufacturer, only customers who buy Xuelan products in specialty stores have a chance to get this kind of bag?"

Hu Pingtao nodded: "So the deceased's job may have been working in a Shenlan Milk franchise store, or she had bought Shenlan Milk products herself."

"Tell me about the bag on the dead man's wrist. I think the murderer did it on a whim."

As he said that, Hu Pingtao stood with his feet together, stretched his arms, and explained: "Under normal circumstances, to bind the dead and use bricks to increase the weight, it should be tied into strips with ropes. I guess the reason why the murderer The choice of black plastic bags may be because the dead body is slender, and this is enough. In addition, if it is troublesome to tie the bricks with ropes, the bricks will fall as long as they are slightly loosened during handling. Especially when the dead body is taken from the shore During the process of being thrown into the river, the bricks are easy to fall off, and if the body surfaced early, it would be a big trouble."

"I reckon that when the murderer bound the corpse with plastic bags, he started from the ankle and went upwards in sequence. The calves, thighs, buttocks, waist... When it reached the chest, which is the upper body of the deceased, the murderer suddenly found the black plastic bag. There weren't enough to fit the dead man's hands, so he hastily wrapped the bag around his chest and added another around his neck."

Ding Jian frowned and asked, "How did you find out?"

Hu Pingtao explained: "If it is a normal operation, according to the murderer's original plan, just use a black plastic bag is enough. But he suddenly encountered this problem, coupled with the panic after the murder, he just wanted to put the body away as soon as possible. Dispose of it, and I don’t have anything like ropes at hand, so I can only use local materials, and use whatever I have.”

Ding Jian thought about it for a while, and thought it was reasonable: "So we tied a Xuelan special plastic bag for each of the deceased's hands, and stuffed stones into it to increase the weight?"

Hu Pingtao nodded: "In desperation, the murderer can only do this. Of course, this is just my guess."

Ding Jian said: "The key is to find out the identity of the deceased."

Hu Pingtao nodded slowly, then remained silent.

……

Start troubleshooting.

It is definitely not enough to rely on the people of the criminal investigation team.Li Yanhui was still strong and sent four people to help.Although they are all auxiliary police officers, they have more or less solved some problems.

Focusing on the location where the deceased was found, the search radius is expanded.Two people form a group to check all relevant stores in the area.

The statistical results show that there are four Shenlan milk franchise stores in the region, and there are as many as 61 convenience stores, kiosks, and shopping malls that distribute Shenlan dairy products.

Early in the morning, Hu Pingtao took Xing Le to the nearest convenience store and began to investigate.

The morning passed quickly, they ran a dozen retail stores, one franchise store, and found nothing.

Although there are corporate logos on the plastic bags, many people buy dairy products every day, and the woman died so long ago that even a slight impression in the minds of the operators has faded.

The police car stopped in front of No. 130, Yonghe Street.This is one of the key targets of the planned investigation, and it is also the second Xuelan milk franchise store in the region.

Find the store manager first, then summon the clerk, and the same few questions.

"Remember a 24-year-old young woman who bought dairy from your store?"

Xing Le took out his mobile phone and clicked on the photo of the rose red satin pajamas on the deceased: "Has any of you seen this dress? Do you have any impression?"

The only lead that can be questioned publicly is the pajamas.

Although it is dirty and the surface is full of dirt, the style and color can still be distinguished.
