Tiger Police

Chapter 99 Murder Scene
No. 50 Dingyuan Road used to be the house of the Agricultural Bureau.A typical courtyard surrounded by four buildings has a large area. The vacant area in the center of the courtyard can park more than [-] family cars, and all buildings are six floors.

The Bureau of Agriculture was later merged with the Bureau of Forestry to become the Bureau of Agriculture and Forestry. With the renovation of the old city, the office was moved to a new city more than ten kilometers away.In order to work nearby, coupled with the low housing prices in the new urban area, the employees of the Agriculture and Forestry Bureau moved out of No. [-] Dingyuan Road. About [-]% of the old houses here are rented out.The rest are old people from various households.

The location of the incident was Room [-], Building [-].

When Hu Pingtao rushed to the scene with Li Pingbo, the criminal police team had already arrived.

As soon as I climbed to the fourth floor, I smelled a disgusting stench.

Hu Pingtao frowned, held his breath, and quickly stepped up the stairs to the open door on the fifth floor, just as Wang Xiongjie came out of it.

He covered his mouth and nostrils with his left hand, and held a pack of unopened medical masks in his right hand.Judging from the situation, it was obvious that the smell in the house was too strong, so they had to go outside for shelter.

"Put it on." Wang Xiongjie tore open the package and handed the masks to Hu Pingtao and Li Pingbo respectively. He also hurriedly put on one: "It smells so bad, I'm about to be suffocated to death."

Hu Pingtao put on a mask and asked, "Brother Wang, has the deceased rotted?"

When I was training at the police academy, one of the items was the identification of smells.

Wang Xiongjie raised his hand and corrected the mask lanyards on his ears, and nodded: "Fatty Ding's preliminary examination concluded that the time of death was seven to eight days. In such a hot weather, it only takes half a day for a piece of tofu to turn sour, let alone a human... ...Well, it should be a corpse, which has reached a high level of decay."

As he spoke, he took out two light blue shoe covers from his pocket: "Put these on, come in and have a look together."

The room is an old design. The bathroom is on the left side of the entrance, and the kitchen is on the opposite side, separated from the living room by a wall.The corridor is directly connected to the innermost master bedroom, and next to it is the second bedroom, a typical two-bedroom and one-living room.

There are light yellow wooden wainscots all around, and there are plaster antique decorations around the ceiling of the living room. Although the overall decoration style is old, it can be seen that the head of the household is rich.After all, such decoration was very expensive decades ago, at least tens of thousands.

There is an LCD screen on the TV cabinet, a three-meter-long glass coffee table in the middle, and a long sofa against the wall.Between the sofa and the coffee table, near the corridor on the right, a highly decomposed female corpse leaned on the sofa, two-thirds of her body was in contact with the ground, and the surrounding furniture, walls, and floors were covered in black dried blood.

She was wearing a goose-yellow long dress. The light-breathing modal fabric had long been polluted by carrion and blood, and it was closely adhered to the body of the deceased, turning into a dry, hard black coagulation.

The criminal police team were all acquaintances, and when they saw Wang Xiongjie bringing Hu Pingtao in, they greeted him one after another.

Everyone wore masks, but they still couldn't block the stench that pierced their nostrils.

Wang Xiongjie walked to the sofa, pointed at the deceased, and said seriously: "The cause of death was external force cutting the throat. Xiaohu, look at the throat, the cut is so large, especially the muscles in the front neck of the deceased are all broken."

According to Wang Xiongjie's instructions, Hu Pingtao held his breath, squatted down, and moved closer to observe the highly decomposed corpse carefully.

The age of the deceased cannot be judged from the appearance.The corpse had already begun to swell, and the exposed skin swelled up like a balloon. Although it was only slightly convex, it showed that it was full of pus. As long as you poked it lightly with your finger, a dark yellow and black purple liquid would flow out.

Mosquitoes and flies are flying in the air, and this is the best delicacy in the world for them.

The neck bone of the deceased had been broken, and there were traces of being cut and hacked by sharp instruments.

"The trachea and carotid artery were severed, so she should have died at that time. But even so, the murderer still did not let her go, and continued to slash her neck with a knife, even the spine was almost severed."

Pointing at the broken neck, Hu Pingtao frowned and said, "The murderer's method of killing is very unfamiliar, so he shouldn't be a vicious habitual offender. But there are more than a dozen wounds on the muscle level alone, and he refuses to let them go even after they die. , and almost cut off the head, what a great hatred!"

As he said that, he stood up and asked Wang Xiongjie suspiciously: "Brother Wang, this person has been dead for more than a week, why did you only find out now?"

Wang Xiongjie pointed to the ceiling: "It was reported by the upstairs neighbor of the deceased. Many people in this compound are tenants, as are [-] and [-] upstairs. In fact, the quality of the house is good, but the city leaders a few years ago People were changed, and some inexplicable policies were introduced. Do you still remember the thing that required all neighborhoods to dismantle the anti-theft cages on the adjacent streets? It was made at that time."

Hu Pingtao nodded: "I remember, the reason for dismantling the anti-theft cage at that time was to "crowd public space". The space also falls within the scope of forced demolition.”

Wang Xiongjie turned around and faced the window of the living room: "There is a rain awning on the outer wall of each floor of this building. It is a piece of plastic board installed on the anti-theft cage. Once the anti-theft cage is removed, the rain will flow along The outer walls flowed into the gaps in the windows. Look over there, the walls near the windows have been soaked by the rain, and a large piece of the decorative layer has fallen off, which is left over from that time.”

"After the forced demolition, the damaged part of the wall was not repaired, and the rainwater flowed into the wall along the gap between the steel bars cut off by the outer wall. The previous decoration materials were very different from the current one. It will cause a short circuit. You didn’t come just now, Xiao Gu asked for a list of tenants from the property management, and the two households upstairs have water and electricity leaks, so since the first half of this year, the house has been empty and it is difficult to rent.”

Hu Pingtao was a little puzzled: "Although it is a problem left in the past, the owner only needs to fix it, and it doesn't cost much."

Wang Xiongjie explained: "All the employees of the Agriculture and Forestry Bureau work in the Xincheng District, and the people who take care of them are old people. On the one hand, they find it troublesome, and on the other hand, they also want to take advantage of it. As long as the house is rented out, there will be Let the tenants solve any problems by themselves, so Room [-] has been vacant until now and has not been rented out. Someone saw the rental information on [-] on the Internet yesterday. The tenant is a girl who sells alcohol in the night market. She gets off work at [-] o'clock in the morning. It’s also the same way to come here, so the two sides made an appointment to see the house early this morning.”

Hu Pingtao asked: "When they went upstairs, they smelled a bad smell and called the police?"

Wang Xiongjie nodded: "The girl who wanted to rent the house asked first: Why is the building so smelly? The old lady who rented the house was also funny. It is said that she pretended not to smell it at the time and only cared about urging people to sign the rent contract. Feeling something was wrong, I went door to door from the fifth floor to the second floor and knocked on the door, only then did I discover the problem, so I called the police.”

Hu Pingtao turned around and glanced towards the door: "Is there no one at [-] next door?"

"There is no one in [-] downstairs." Wang Xiongjie sighed: "The house in this section is not easy to rent. [-] is for self-occupation, but the owner is usually in the new city and rarely comes back. As a storage room, it is used to store some sundries that are not usually used. There are people in this unit below the third floor, but there is a floor between the fifth floor and the third floor.

"The two tenants on the third floor are both tenants. They said that they can smell the smell these days. But they usually go to work during the day and come back late at night, and the building is facing the street, so they think it is the sewage pipe outside. The smell, or the rat poison recently released by the community, which killed a few mice... In short, no one paid attention."

"It's usually fine. No one would think of going upstairs. If the girl who rented the room hadn't discovered it today, I'm afraid this matter will drag on."

Just as he was talking, Zhang Yixuan came out of the master bedroom, rushed past Hu Pingtao and nodded, as a greeting.

He held a notebook and a stack of materials in his hand: "Team Wang, the identity of the deceased has been clarified."

Wang Xiongjie suddenly became interested: "Speak, I'm listening!"

"The name of the deceased is Zhu Yajun, female, 37 years old, unmarried. She used to be a doctor, but later changed her career. She is currently working in an appraisal center."

"Appraisal center?" Wang Xiongjie was a little strange: "What kind of appraisal center? What does it mainly do?"

Zhang Yixuan flipped through the documents in his hand: "The full name is "Alice Appraisal Center". It is located in the north of the new urban area. It can be reached directly by Metro Line [-]. Get off at the station at the entrance of Changning Street. It is across the street. Their main business is physical examination. DNA testing is also done.”

Forensic doctor Ding Jian just came out of the bathroom. Hearing this sentence, he muttered through the mask: "According to this, this woman is half of my colleague!"

Hu Pingtao said with a smile: "Brother Ding, don't make trouble, just figure out the situation first."

Zhang Yixuan continued: "I called the Appraisal Center, and the other party replied that Zhu Yajun hasn't been to work since last week. I didn't ask for leave, and I couldn't get through the phone."

As he said that, he turned around and pointed towards the bedroom: "We searched the room, but we couldn't find the deceased's mobile phone. The identification center called her seven times, but no one answered. "

Wang Xiongjie looked serious: "You and Gu Dewei are in charge of the mobile phone. Starting from the telecommunications bureau, we will strictly check every call made by the deceased during this period, and make sure to find out who and what is being called. Of course, if you can find out where It would be even better to find the dead man's cell phone."

After all, he continued to ask: "Any other discoveries?"

Zhang Yixuan shook his head: "I don't have any here yet."

Wang Xiongjie turned to Ding Jian: "Fatty Ding, where are you?"

Ding Jian was wearing gloves, and flicked his right fingertips on his fat belly, as if he was operating on an invisible computer keyboard: "I've already told you the results of the initial test, and I have to go back to the bureau for detailed data." Further inspection. It's just that the corpse is so rotten that it will be very troublesome when it is moved later...Old Wang, you have to have a good talk with the bureau and send me an assistant."

"Hmph!" Wang Xiongjie scoffed at this: "Don't think I don't know your narrow-mindedness. Why don't you just want to leave the dirty work to others! Fatty Ding, let's talk about it behind closed doors. Now, if you really want to mention it to the higher-ups, hehehehe... the boss will definitely not let you go."

Ding Jian was not annoyed, and still smiled: "Old Wang, you are in trouble! If you don't help, you won't help, and you make such bad words. Forget it, I will treat you to dinner tonight. There is a restaurant on the road around the city. The fried buns are very good, and I will bring you a bowl of spicy soup. The soup is delicious, sticky, and duck blood is added in it, and the taste is almost like paste. I guarantee you will never forget it after drinking it."

Before Wang Xiongjie could get angry, Ding Jian quickly turned around and ran out.

Highly decomposed corpses, with sticky spicy soup.Just these few words can make Wang Xiongjie sick all day.

Wang Xiongjie wanted to curse, but he could only see Ding Jian's back quickly disappearing outside the door.

"You fat man, I'll deal with you later!" He cursed bitterly, then turned to Hu Pingtao who was standing beside him: "Xiao Hu, did you find anything?"

Everyone's visual angle is different, not to mention Hu Pingtao's performance before, which is why Wang Xiongjie insisted on asking Liao Qiu to send him to the scene after receiving the police.

After all, the place where the case happened belongs to the jurisdiction of the Eryuan Road Police Station.

Hu Pingtao thought for a moment, and said seriously: "I think the situation in this room is a bit strange."

Wang Xiongjie and Zhang Yixuan watched him at the same time.

The former asked curiously: "What are you referring to?"

The expression on the latter's face was habitually cold and arrogant, but he couldn't hide the doubt in his eyes: "No way, how long have you been in?"

Hu Pingtao stepped forward and walked up to the deceased leaning on the sofa: "Judging from Zhu Yajun's fallen posture, she was attacked from behind."

It has become a habit for Zhang Yixuan to argue with him, and he subconsciously asked, "How do you know that the murderer is attacking from behind?"

"The knife that cut the throat was very deep." Hu Pingtao pointed to the wound on the throat of the deceased and said: "Although the corpse is rotten, the cut marks are still there. Look at the blood around here, the walls in this direction are everywhere , the entire sofa was soaked and completely black. This shows that when Zhu Yajun was killed, the throat wound was facing this side. A severed aorta is no joke, and it will cause a strong splash effect. You Look at the bloodstains on the wall and sofa, right here, about [-] centimeters away from the sofa, this is the first crime scene."

As he said that, Hu Pingtao said to Wang Xiongjie: "Brother Wang, please come here for a moment, let me show you."

Wang Xiongjie walked over as he said, with his back to Hu Pingtao.The latter covered his mouth with his left hand, put his right hand in front of Wang Xiongjie, turned his palm into a knife, and swayed it on Wang Xiongjie's neck.

"The first knife cut the throat with great force, causing a very deep wound." Hu Pingtao turned Wang Xiongjie away, bent down and pointed at the neck of the deceased: "The murderer has no experience in committing crimes, so he was afraid that Zhu Yajun would not die, so he continued He chopped more than a dozen knives on her neck."
