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

Chapter 77 Burnt Vehicles

Xinjian Village is one of more than a dozen villages around Longjiang Road.

The population is not large, and the whole village adds up to more than 2000 people.

Because it is relatively close to the urban area, villagers in Xinjian Village mostly plant cash crops, such as strawberry picking.

There are also many people who open farmhouses and do business in rural themed tourism.

Winter has just entered in November, the picking season has passed, and the business of the farmhouse is not particularly good.

Farmers in many villages will go out to do odd jobs.

However, the older villagers have poor physical strength and no skills.

So, when winter came, they began to sit and chat in the village in twos and threes.

Today's sunshine is just right, and Wang Chengshun sits on the stone pier in front of his house to bask in the sun as usual.

"I saw it in the morning. The front of the car seemed to hit something, and it was heading west."

Faced with the traffic police's questioning, Lao Wangtou knew everything and described it vividly.

"About what time?"

"It was just two hours ago. I just came out of the house and happened to see it."

Wang Chengshun pointed to the neighbors who were basking in the sun together: "They all saw it too, Lao Zhang, is it that white car?"

"Yeah, the off-road vehicle must have hit something and drove towards the west village."

The tracking of the vehicle involved in the accident soon became clear.

The criminal policeman who followed the traffic police all the way was the squadron leader of the high-tech zone's criminal police brigade, Li Kai, Song Kun's apprentice.

"Go, chase!"

As long as there are traces of the opponent, the possibility of catching up is very high.

The fact is just as Li Kai thought, they found the vehicle that caused the accident within half an hour after they left Xinjian Village.

To be exact, the wreckage of a vehicle.

Leaving and looking at the off-road vehicle that had been burned in the ravine with only its iron frame left, Li Kai's face turned livid.

[-]:[-] noon.

Lu Chuan and others rushed to the scene.

"Is this the car?"

Liu Guodong arrived first, opened the inspection box, and prepared for work: "The car is burned, and there is no license plate, but the engine and chassis number can still be identified. The traffic police have found the owner of the vehicle."

Lu Chuan put on his gloves and made preparations for the site survey: "Have you confirmed the identity of the driver?"

Liu Guodong shook his head: "No, the car was stolen last night. The owner reported the case this morning. The Youyou Road Police Station received the case and it has been confirmed."

Qin Yong also rushed to the scene and was discussing with Ren Qiang and Yuan Shaokang the direction of the next step in handling the case.

Lu Chuan and Liu Guodong have a heavy task and need to investigate the burning vehicles.

Lao Bai and Yang Sen are already on their way.

"There is a strong smell of gasoline, and the other party has premeditated."

Lu Chuan sniffed and could smell the volatile gasoline.

The murderer was very cunning, and he didn't even try to hide the vehicle that caused the accident.

In a ravine about [-] kilometers away from Xinjian Village, the car was doused with gasoline and completely burned down.

"The vehicle was severely burned, and it was very difficult to extract the murderer's fingerprints, footprints and other evidence."

Liu Guodong has experienced similar site surveys.

Burned out sites are generally very difficult to deal with.

The purpose of the murderer is to make his traces disappear through the fire.

"This place is so remote, how did the other party leave after burning the car down?"

Lu Chuan put on three layers of gloves and began to adjust the camera, ready to take pictures: "Walking or driving?"

Liu Guodong shook his head: "I don't know yet, let's investigate the scene first."

"Whether the other party leaves on foot or by car, there should be traces left behind."

This is the reason why the current survey should be advanced.

Although the murderer burned the vehicle, he destroyed all traces of himself in the vehicle.

But there are few people around here, and the other party will definitely leave other clues.

It depends on whether Lu Chuan and the others can find out.

The first step is to survey and take pictures.

This is a routine process, the burning vehicle is still steaming, and the smell of burnt rubber is very unpleasant.

Lu Chuan began to mark all the scattered items.

Falling car doors, burnt gasoline drums, half-melted headlights.

At the same time, after the fuel tank exploded, the fragments of the vehicle were thrown out.

This is why Li Kai and the others were able to find the burned vehicle.

They were attracted by the sound of explosions and thick smoke.

"Master, the vehicle has just burned down and fell off the shelf. We have to wait for the temperature to drop before doing the survey."

"I'll take a look around and see if I can find anything."

Liu Guodong nodded: "You go first, Lao Bai and the others are here too, let's collect the surrounding debris first."

Unlike in the movies, the police investigate cases differently.

In reality, every detail must be taken into account, such as debris around the vehicle.

Liu Guodong and the others wanted to find them all piece by piece, number and take pictures, and carefully examine and analyze each piece.

Maybe a fingerprint or two will be collected.

It's tedious and tedious, and it can be completed in one afternoon.

In the ravine, Lu Chuan followed the traces of the off-road vehicle, feeling inch by inch.

Turning from the asphalt road of the country road into the ravine, there are only tire tracks of a car.

Therefore, the murderer must have left the ravine on foot after lighting the fire.

Lu Chuan hopes to find some shoe prints, which will help delineate the murderer's physical information.

The criminal policeman who first discovered the burned vehicle was Li Kai from the Criminal Police Brigade of the High-tech Zone, Song Kun's apprentice.

Although Li Kai was very emotional about the death of his master, when it came time to handle the case, Li Kai showed the professional qualities that a senior criminal policeman should have.

When they arrived at the scene, the vehicle was almost burnt, basically only the skeleton remained, and the interior was completely burned out. Although they could still put out the fire, Li Kai gave up.

To fight a fire, you must use a fire extinguisher.

The fire extinguishers equipped on police cars are all dry powder fire extinguishers. If this thing is sprayed on the car, it is equivalent to a thorough cleaning of the car.

Current surveys can find useful information on vehicles that have been burned, but basically nothing can be found on vehicles that have been sprayed by fire extinguishers.

Although Li Kai himself is the squadron leader, he doesn't have any rights. He is equivalent to a team leader with an action team under him.

Li Kai himself has to work, even more than others.

And this kind of position is not linked to the police rank.

Song Kun is actually the criminal policeman of Li Kai's squadron, and his police rank is higher than Li Kai's.

Li Kai, who has been solving crimes on the front line all the year round, sometimes has to play the role of an on-site survey or even a forensic doctor.

In short, in the criminal police brigade, everyone is an animal, and they can be used as soon as they are brought up, no matter what type of police you are.

In addition, other traces at the scene are also well preserved.

After Li Kai and others found the vehicle, the traffic police checked the chassis number under high temperature, and the rest remained unchanged.

The land in the ravine is soft and elastic, and the footprints left are fairly clear.

Lu Chuan collected more than a dozen sets of footprints without much effort.

Of course, many of these footprints were left by the criminal police who handled the case, and they should be eliminated in post-processing.

Holding an ultraviolet searchlight, Lu Chuan climbed up from the ravine all the way.

When we got to the side of the road in the lower valley, Lu Chuan looked more carefully.

There were also some discoveries.
