Chapter 263 Paint scratches on the bridge

Da Zhao managed to get these enthusiastic workers to disperse, and Xu Guanhai led Zhou Ning and the others to the bridge head in the northeast corner.

It can be seen here that the stone bridge should have been replaced within a few years. It is estimated that the stone bridge is a part of the maintenance project of Moon Lake.

But at the other end of the northwest corner, new guardrails have been built around the bridge. The blue and white stones have carvings on them, which are very beautiful.

As for the position under the feet, here is the stone embankment, without any protection, one can jump into the lake with one lift of one's feet.

"Director Zhou, look, we analyzed that this is where the deceased fell into the water. We found the rut marks of the deceased's battery car on the ground, but when the reporter found the body, it was floating under the bridge pier on the northeast side. It was probably a fisherman who pulled With the fishhook, the dead were directly pulled up.

When we inspected the scene, we found that the plug on the heel of the deceased was stuck in this gap. This is a photo taken at the time, and the plug was also sent for inspection. After comparison, it was indeed the part of the deceased’s heel that fell off. "

Zhou Ning glanced at the photo on Xu Guanhai's phone. Although the phone was not fashionable, the photo was still very clear. After comparing the positions, Zhou Ning squatted in the gap between the stones and stepped on the stone next to him.

As it was shaken vigorously, the trail stones under his feet shook as expected, and the gap was enough to insert the heels of the deceased. Zhou Ning glanced at the distance from the lake and the bridge pier, and then clapped his hands and stood up.

"It is about five meters from this position to the position where the rut marks disappeared. That is to say, the deceased walked over here. After all, the right foot whose heel was stuck in the photo is the right foot, but most people ride a battery car. It's the left foot stepping on the ground.

If the ruts fell into the water, according to the remaining position of the water level line, the water line in the wet season is about [-] centimeters high from the edge of the stone by the lake. However, if you grab the dead man's hair at this height, it is impossible to press the dead man into the water. arrive. "

Xu Guanhai was startled, glanced at Zhou Ning, and thought carefully according to what Zhou Ning said.

"In May last year, it was relatively dry and not a wet season, so the water level was lower. The water depth we measured at that time was squatting on the bridge where the corpse was found, and the water there was deeper."

Liu Yongxin squinted his eyes, moved closer to Zhou Ning, glanced at Xu Guanhai, and said in a voice that the three of them could hear:

"Apprentice, do you suspect that the deceased was pushed off the bridge, and the person who pushed her off the bridge also fell into the water? What happened to grabbing her hair and pressing her into the water, all happened in the water. As for the bruises on the back of the deceased, It also needs to be dropped from a certain height to cause fractures, so throw the battery car from the bridge?"

This analysis overturned the criminal police team's initial direction of judgment. Seeing that Zhou Ning did not refute, Xu Guanhai nodded beside him, subconsciously wanting to doubt this analysis, but he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say for a while.

Zhou Ning saw it clearly, and he understood Xu Guanhai's feelings very well.

"Forensic doctor Xu, I took a look. The two sides of the bridge are blocked by fences, but the bridge can pass normally, so there should be some traces on the bridge and on the footpath stones on the shore. Let's take a look, no matter what the analysis is. Reasonable, all need to rely on evidence to speak.”

In a word, Xu Guanhai shut his mouth, and he nodded vigorously. Zhou Ning was waving his hand at this time. Da Zhao and Yang Xuetong were already ready to go. Seeing Zhou Ning's movement, they rushed over.

The material of the bridge is similar to that of the trail stone. It is made of an antique combination. There are guardrail stone slabs on both sides, and there are columns on the other side. The top of the columns is a toad, and each shape is different. A stone bridge in a park can be made like this Meticulous, Zhou Ning took a second look.

The two surveyed inch by inch, Xu Guanhai bumped Liu Yongxin's elbow, the anxiety on his face was beyond words.

"I said, you are not in a hurry, are you? I have read the above dozens of times, and there is nothing like blood, mud, footprints, or fingerprints. Now that it has been nearly a year, there can be nothing here."

Liu Yongxin smiled at Xu Guanhai, the old man was in a hurry.

"Don't worry, just wait and see. I think we can find something. By the way, where is the dead man's battery car?"

"It's parked in the garage of the bureau. Xia Limin's husband, Zhang Wei, came over to ask for it once. We told him that this is physical evidence. After the case investigation is over, the car will be returned to him. After that, we didn't come over to talk about it."

"How is this husband? I'm talking about his appearance, financial ability and so on?"

Xu Guanhai thought about it seriously, but he didn't seem to have a deep impression on this person.

"You still blinded me. I don't have any impression of this Zhang Wei. He looks good, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is tall. He is a little shorter than your apprentice, but he is definitely not as good-looking as your apprentice."

Liu Yongxin raised his hand.

"I said, can you change your reference, and always use my apprentice to talk about what you do, and if you talk about looks, my apprentice will not lose to them in those entertainment circles. ?”

Xu Guanhai shook his head.

"The investigation of Xia Limin's social relations was conducted by Zhang Da and I did not participate in it. However, after being married for half a year, it was the time when I was getting bored, and my natal mother would come over to make trouble a few times. Anyway, it would be enough for Zhang Wei to drink a pot."

Liu Yongxin nodded. It was true. Just half a year after marriage, the girl died. It was still unclear. The Public Security Bureau didn't give an explanation.

At this moment, Da Zhao raised his hand with a hint of excitement on his face.

"Forensic doctor Xu, I would like to ask, is the battery car of the deceased white? No, it should be the gray part underneath, right?"

Xu Guanhai was stunned for a moment, nodded, and quickly trotted over. He didn't know what Da Zhao had discovered, but he was excited to be able to tell the original color of the car right away.

As I ran, I found a photo of the car on my phone.

"This is the battery car of the deceased. The top is white and the bottom half is gray. Did you find anything?"

Zhou Ning and Liu Yongxin also walked on the bridge at this time, Yang Xuetong held up his camera, and Da Zhao grinned, holding up an evidence bag containing several swabs.

"On the outer edge of the railing, I found two scratches. I think it's paint. After all, it's not easy for people to touch this position."

Zhou Ning glanced at the photo in Xu Guanhai's mobile phone, and then looked at the paint traces on the stone. He said that it was a scratch, that is, two mung bean-sized scratches, which showed Zhao's care.

The discovery of this scratch further confirmed Zhou Ning's previous judgment that the battery car was thrown from the bridge, one was to destroy the evidence, and the other was to make Xia Limin die so badly.

But who is the person who threw the battery car off the bridge?
Is it the same person as about Xia Limin?

Zhou Ning took a deep breath and looked at Xu Guanhai.

"Xu Forensic Doctor, we want to see the battery car, it's stored in the Rudong Public Security Bureau, right?"

Near noon.

Everyone returned to the compound of the Rudong Public Security Bureau.

The battery car was placed in the garage, covered with a rainproof cloth, and when it was opened, a stench came over the face.

Da Zhao and Yang Xuetong didn't talk too much nonsense, they went up and began to search, and found two places where the paint was peeled off on the side of the front wheel cover of the battery car and the edge of the pedals, like two scratches, but only a superficial layer of paint fall off.

The car ran in the water for two days before it was salvaged, and the marks on the body did not attract attention. Xu Guanhai frowned.

Liu Yongxin patted him on the shoulder with a comforting smile on his face.

"Okay, what do you mean, I still have to coax you, we are here to solve the case, isn't it possible that we are here to give you psychological counseling? At least you look like a little man who doesn't know much about the world, and is about to retire Don't act like this with my apprentice."

Xu Guanhai laughed straight at what Liu Yongxin said. Although his mouth was a bit poisonous, what he said was indeed reasonable. He came to the Municipal Bureau to solve the case. How to find clues made his mind more complicated. He shook his head and followed suit.

"Let someone go to the Municipal Bureau for inspection. If the composition of the car and the paint scratches collected at the scene are the same, it can prove that the car was thrown on the bridge."

Da Zhao hurriedly marked it, and then put the sample into a box. Before Xuetong Yang picked it up, Xu Guanhai had already walked over.

"I'll arrange for people to be sent for inspection, but Director Zhou still tells the Municipal Bureau that the inspection can be done faster."

Zhou Ning nodded, and Xu Guanhai went to arrange it. Naturally, Da Zhao took the initiative to do the phone call.

"Lao Yang asked Bureau Xu, did they gain anything?"

Yang Xuetong dialed Xu Dayuan's phone, the ringtone seemed to be ringing not far away, following the direction of the sound, Zhou Ning looked back, Xu Dayuan and his group had already walked over quickly, Yang Xuetong didn't dare to say anything, just hung up cut off the phone.

"Leader, are you making any progress?"

Xu Dayuan nodded, his eyes turned around on Zhou Ning's face, and then he turned dark.

"It seems that you have found something here?"

Zhou Ning smiled. Looking at Xu Dayuan's expression, he suddenly felt that his work was not in vain all morning, and he was very relieved to let the leader suffer.

"Why don't you eat first, and we'll talk about it after eating?"

Xu Dayuan waved his hand.

"I think it's okay. It's almost time. Let's all go to dinner. After eating, there will be a project meeting to summarize the results of various investigations."

Xiao Zeng couldn't be happier.

"Forensic Doctor Zhou is wrong, Director Zhou, we are all going to starve."

Zhang Niannian came over from behind with an apologetic expression on his face.

"I'm really sorry, let's go to the cafeteria quickly, I've made arrangements, what about forensic doctor Xu?"

Liu Yongxin raised his chin in the direction of the gate, just as Xu Guanhai was jogging back, seeing Zhang Niannian, he couldn't hide the smile on his face, Zhang Niannian's eyes lit up immediately.

"It seems that you have discovered something, tell me quickly, what have you discovered?"

Liu Yongxin poked Zhang Sannian's arm, pointed at Xu Dayuan and the others, and then said slowly:

"Zhang Da needs the horse to eat if he wants the horse to run, and everyone here is hungry."

Zhang Nianan smiled awkwardly.

"Let's go, let's eat first. I'm not excited. You guys don't know. I was tortured by this case and couldn't eat or sleep well. The family members of the deceased came here every now and then to make a fuss. I was almost driven crazy."
