Attending ex-girlfriend's wedding, arresting the groom's officer on the spot

Chapter 1200 Cause and Time of Death

While Chen Jiang continued to interrogate and understand the relevant circumstances, the identification of the body was basically completed.

In the conference room, the forensic doctor was introducing the relevant details of the autopsy to Lu Chuan, Wang Zhaokai, Sun Biao and others.

"The time of death of body No. 1 was 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The cause of death was excessive blood loss caused by puncture and rupture of internal organs."

The forensic doctor from the Criminal Police Brigade numbered the two bodies. The one that was burned and damaged was number 1, and the other was number 2. If we distribute the wounds according to the wounds, there were sharp puncture wounds on number 1, which should be knife wounds. No wounds were found on the surface of number 2.

"The age should be around 25 years old. The height cannot be fully determined at the moment, but it should be between 1 and 58 meters, because the body was quite damaged due to the burning."

Regarding the determination of height, the forensic doctor mainly calculated it based on the length of the torso, because the deceased had only two limbs, the arms were still intact, and the thighs had basically been burned away.

"The murderer was very cruel when he burned the body. He must have thrown some clothes aside and stuffed them into the chest cavity of the deceased and then set it on fire. This is how the body was severely damaged."

There were two bodies. The first body had holes cut in the abdomen and chest by the murderer, and some foreign objects were stuffed inside. The murderer then poured gasoline on it and set it on fire. The other body did not have such holes.

"The DNA information of the deceased has not yet been identified. The results will probably be known tonight."

The on-site investigating detective next to him also talked about the progress here.

The identities of the two deceased have now been preliminarily determined. One is Wang Mengmeng and the other is Zhang Lili. Both are good friends of Liu Lingling.

However, because his face is so unrecognizable now, facial confirmation is impossible, and we can only compare it with the DNA information of his family members to make a final confirmation.

In the past, when DNA information technology was not yet fully popularized, there were still cases of wrongful convictions like this.

In order to hide the true identity of the deceased, the murderer deliberately used some clothes, jewelry or other foreign items to prove the identity of the corpse, but in fact it was just a substitution.

So now, although we have already started looking for clues and searching for suspects from the perspective of confirming that the two people are Wang Mengmeng and Zhang Lili, the identities of the two people still need to be confirmed through DNA information technology comparison.

"The important point I need to emphasize here is the cause and time of death of the deceased No. 2."

After the forensic doctor briefly introduced the situation of deceased No. 1, he focused on the cause and event of death of deceased No. 2.

"The time of death of body No. 2 was 1: in the evening, and the cause of death was mechanical asphyxiation."

When the forensic doctor said this, everyone was stunned.

They originally thought that the two were killed together, but they didn't expect that the time of death of victim No. 1 and victim No. 2 was so different.

"What's happening here?"

Wang Zhaokai frowned: "No matter whether the deceased No. 1 is Wang Mengmeng or Zhang Lili, he died at 5 o'clock in the afternoon yesterday, and the deceased No. 2 died at 8 o'clock in the morning today. There is a gap of hours between them?"

How is this possible? If the two people were not killed at the same time, it means that the murderer either stayed in the room after killing victim No. 1 and waited until victim No. 2 came back and killed him.

Of course, it is also possible that the other party left the scene 1 days after killing victim No. 4, returned to the scene again at night, killed victim No. 2, and then burned the bodies of both people.

But no matter which situation it is, it doesn't seem to make sense.

The criminal police who investigated the scene did not find any knife at the scene, which means the murderer killed the victim No. 1 and should have taken the murder weapon away from the scene.

Of course, is there a possibility that the murderer who killed victim No. 1 and victim No. 2 is not the same murderer?

"Director Lu, there are some things that don't seem right here. First of all, the murderer should have hidden the No. 1 victim in the bed box after his death."

Sun Biao said.

"From the traces at the scene, it is clear that the murderer dragged the body to the bathroom. He was killing. After killing, he should have hidden the body in the bed, and then dragged it out to the bathroom and burned it."

"Then judging from the situation at the scene, the burning should have started at around 3 a.m., which means that the burning of the body began more than an hour to two hours after the No. 2 victim was killed."

"Why did the murderer do this? Did he have to kill two people? Or was there another reason?"

And since the murderer had already decided to burn the body to destroy all evidence, why did he hide the previous body in the bed box?

Some of the details here don't make sense and there is no logic. If there were two murderers, then there would be no need for them to hide the body in the bed box.

"I personally think it was a one-man show, and the other person might be more familiar with Liu Lingling's situation."

Wang Zhaokai said: "Assuming that the other party knew Liu Lingling, Wang Mengmeng and Zhang Lili well and knew that they lived together, then if he killed the first victim, is there a possibility that he would kill the second victim?"

"That's not right either. Liu Lingling should have come back during this time, and more than once."

From a time point of view, Liu Lingling left the house during the day yesterday and came back twice, once at noon and once in the afternoon.

According to Liu Lingling, Wang Meng was still playing with her phone when he came back at noon, so she must not have been killed. When he came back at night, that is, around 6 o'clock, he did not see Wang Mengmeng after he got home, but only saw the phone he left behind and some messages on it.

So based on the logic of time, the deceased No. 1 should be Liu Mengmeng. After the other party was killed, the murderer hid it in the bed box and cleaned the room, because the bloodstains were not discovered by Liu Lingling at that time.

But if the other party had stayed in the room all the time, why didn't he kill Liu Lingling?
Liu Lingling stayed in the room for a long time. She came back at around 6 o'clock, took some clothes at around 7 o'clock, and then took a shower before leaving.

Could it be that Liu Lingling was not the target, but Wang Mengmeng and Zhang Lili were the ones the murderer wanted to kill?
The police had originally locked their suspicion on Liu Lingling, but now it seems that is not the case.

At around six o'clock in the evening, the interrogation of Liu Lingling had ended, and Chen Jiang came back personally to report the relevant situation to Lu Chuan.
