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

Chapter 344 Reinforcement Hook
Lu Chuan believes that the reason why local people or people who have lived there for a period of time may commit crimes is very simple, that is, the place where the other party's body was dumped.

Although Lu Chuan had never been to the scene, according to the photos in the dossier, the part of the sewage river where the murderer threw his body was not in the open air. The section where the body was thrown was an underground river, which was still some distance away from the open air.

If it hadn't been for the cleaner's dog who bit through the box containing the corpse and pulled out a piece of corpse, maybe the case might not have been discovered at the time.

After thinking about it, Lu Chuan, who had nothing to do, took out the photos again and began to study them.

However, after looking at it for a long time, Lu Chuan shook his head. There were no fingerprints, so it was really difficult to do.

This kind of case is not easy to convict even if the murderer is found, because the police did not find any traces of the murderer at the scene.

It's not that the murderer didn't leave traces at the scene, but that the police who checked at the time didn't find it.

For example, trace physical evidence, if trace physical evidence was collected at that time, there should be some traces left.

Of course, the Liangzhou police did put in a lot of effort back then, applying the three-piece criminal investigation to the extreme.

The on-site investigation even brought in foreign experts, but unfortunately, the environment in the sewage river was already poor, and many traces have disappeared.

The dossier records many details, including the sewage well near the place where the body was dumped, and the current survey even collected traces on the iron ladder that went down the well.

The investigation was also very thorough. It was found that there were three kilometers around the corpse. Basically, they searched it again, but nothing was found.

The last routine is to conduct a surprise review of some local social idlers, petty theft and other people with criminal or bad records.

But, again, no clues.

Lu Chuan took the photo and observed it repeatedly.

If the murderer was a foreigner, it would be a problem whether he could find the entrance to the Liangzhou sewage channel.

However, if he was a local, how did he do it and dump the body quietly without anyone noticing?

While thinking, Lu Chuan was attracted by an inconspicuous mark on the photo.

The part of the body in the photo, which should be the bicep of the left arm, seems to have a special indentation, but it is not very clear.

"Master, come and see this."

Liu Guodong, who was chatting, turned his head: "Still studying?"

"This case was quite famous back then. Many experts have read it, including experts from the province. It's a pity."

Lu Chuan nodded. The corpse dismemberment case is an important case everywhere. It is normal for experts from the provincial department to study it.

Liu Guodong found the teacup and took the photo from Lu Chuan's hand: "Did you find anything?"

Lu Chuan pointed to the indentation on the corpse: "I feel like there is an indentation here."

"Indentation?"

Liu Guodong held up the photo to the light, and after a while: "It seems that there is indeed, but the body was packed in a suitcase at that time, and there should be marks formed by squeezing inside."

Speaking of suitcases, the Liangzhou Public Security Bureau almost ransacked the entire luggage market just to find the same type of suitcase for the corpse.

Not to mention the last thing, I did find it, but the things in the warehouse were from the previous inventory and were not sold at all.

This also confirmed from the side that the murderer came from another place.

Lu Chuan thought for a while: "Well, there is a possibility."

"Okay, this case, the brother-in-law of the Qin team, who heard that he is a powerful person, will show it to him. Rest and change his mind. The high-tech zone sent two fingerprints. You can help to look."

"Okay, I'll watch it now."

Putting down the file, Lu Chuan started to do his own work.

Soon, a pleasant day passed smoothly.

Lu Chuan picked up Shen Yan and went on a date to watch a movie.

Today the two of them watched Wall-E, two dumb little guys who explained what love is.

"Tomorrow we will go to the city bureau to participate in forensic skills training, and we may come back later in the evening."

Before getting out of the car, Forensic Doctor Shen talked about tomorrow's work: "You come back tonight by yourself, don't worry about me." "That's okay, I have nothing to do recently, I will go to the Municipal Bureau to pick you up tomorrow."

"Well, that's fine, see you tomorrow."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

Leaving Shen Forensic's community, Lu Chuan hummed a little tune, and drove back to Chenguang community in a leisurely manner.

"Kawako, wait a minute, the sewer at the door is blocked, it will be fine soon."

At the gate, the entrance and exit were blocked by Lu Yao, and two workers were opening the manhole cover.

Lu Chuan got out of the car and took a look: "It's okay, third brother, I just have a chat with you."

"Haha, Kawako, in two minutes, they lifted the manhole cover, people went down, closed the manhole cover, and you passed."

After saying that, he handed Lu Chuan a cigarette and asked the workers to open the manhole cover quickly.

"Hold on tight, the car is waiting."

Lu Chuan took the cigarette and was about to light it when he caught sight of two workers opening the manhole cover out of the corner of his eye.

The sewage manhole cover is heavy and inlaid flat on the ground, and it is impossible to lift it by hand. The worker uses a special iron hook to insert it into the hole of the manhole cover, and pulls it hard, and the cover lifts a gap.

In less than 2 minutes, two workers went down wearing overhead lights, and the people outside put the cover back on.

"Chuanzi, all right, you go first."

"Okay, third brother, you are busy first, I will go back first..."

Ok?
Iron hook? !

Lu Chuan's car, which had just started, screeched to a stop.

"What's the matter, Chuanzi, it's okay, we can pass now."

Lu Chuan could still take care of that now, and hurriedly got out of the car, walked to the worker who had just built the manhole cover, and pointed to the hook in his hand: "Third brother, what is this?"

"It's just a steel hook for opening manhole covers."

Open a manhole cover?

"Is this tool used for manhole covers?"

Lu Chuan looked at the workers: "Is it our special, or do you all use this thing?"

The worker was stunned, not knowing why Lu Chuan asked this, but he picked up the hook anyway: "This is used for manhole covers, and it's the same all over the country."

"It's the same all over the country..."

Lu Chuan muttered to himself, "Show me."

The other party handed the hook to Lu Chuan: "Some people sell this thing, and some make it themselves. Ours is welded by ourselves. It is strong and durable."

Lu Chuan nodded, picked up the steel hook, and carefully observed the other end of the T-hook.

This shape is actually very similar to the indentation marks on the corpse that Lu Chuan saw in the corpse case file in the morning.

Liu Guodong explained that the indentation might have been left by the box containing the body.

Lu Chuan thought it was possible at the time, so he didn't investigate further.

However, now it seems that this indentation is likely to be left by this kind of T-shaped hook.

Combined with the place where the murderer dumped the body and the sewage river, could the murderer be a local sewer maintenance worker?
Or, at least, someone with a steel hook like this?

"Will this kind of steel hook be used in other industries?"

The maintenance worker thought for a while: "Generally not, this thing is only used when opening the manhole cover, other... can't be used either."
