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

The reason why Lu Chuan made this judgment is based on this point. The merger of Beiwang Town and Xijiagou Village is in progress, so there are basically no people in the village, only two or three elderly people left in the area.

That's why the murderer chose to cook the person in this place.

Moreover, due to the merger of villages and towns, much of the surrounding infrastructure has been demolished, so there will be no surveillance and no people, so naturally no one can see the murderer committing the crime.

The murderer obviously chose this place after careful consideration and selection, and he should have a relatively good understanding of the situation in the village.

"How is the situation of the reporter?"

How did you find someone cooking a corpse in a remote village?
Zhao Zhigao touched his chin and said, "The person who found the problem was an old man in his seventies who stayed in the village."

"This old man has the habit of taking a walk at night, so he takes a walk after dinner every day."

The West Asia inventory is actually not large, otherwise it would not be included in the scope of nucleic acid testing and town integration. The entire village originally had only more than 20 households, and each household had only one to two people, so the population was not particularly large, and the village was naturally very small. Walking from the east end to the west end, it is about three or four hundred meters.

Zhao Zhigao continued, "This old man lives in the entire village. There are more than a dozen households between the second house in the east and the crime scene."

"He was out for a walk after dinner that night and saw smoke coming out of the chimney of the house where the crime happened."

"The old man was quite puzzled at the time because there were only three elderly people left in the village, and this family had moved away, so it was impossible for anyone to light a fire and cook."

Zhao Zhigao stood up and poured coffee for Lu Chuan again. Lu Chuan shook his head: "Brother Zhao, tea is fine. I won't be able to sleep at night if I don't drink coffee."

"Oh, it's my fault. I'm used to it. If I don't drink coffee these past two days, I can't make it through the night."

After saying that, Zhao Zhigao turned around and poured another cup of tea for Lu Chuan.

"The old man thought it was strange and went to take a look. As soon as he arrived at the yard, he smelled the aroma of meat. He thought the family had come back to cook meat, but when he entered the house, he found no one there."

"The aroma of meat came from the pot. When the old man arrived, the fire in the stove had gone out."

“As soon as he opened it… he almost scared the old man to death!”

Zhao Zhigao sighed: "The old man was sent to the hospital after he called the police, and he was just discharged yesterday."

Lu Chuan shook his head.

It is unlikely that an elderly person in his 70s would commit such a serious crime, and he probably does not have the physical strength to do so.

"How is the situation at the scene?"

"That's unreasonable."

When it comes to this, Zhao Zhigao has the most say.

"The ground at the scene had been cleaned. When we arrived at the scene, we only found footprints left by the elderly, and we did not find any fingerprints at the scene."

Zhao Zhigao has been studying things on the scene these days.

"When the deceased was found in the pot, all the clothes on his body were gone. We found some traces of imitation fabric in the ashes of the stove sugar, which should be the deceased's clothes."

"What was the cause of death?"

Lu Chuan read in the report that he died from excessive blood loss.

"Excessive bleeding."

Zhao Zhigao was very sure: "The fatal injury of the deceased was a ruptured carotid artery, but a ruptured carotid artery is not an ordinary scratch, but a more regular Y-shaped wound."

"When we examined the body, we found that the wrists and ankles had signs of protection. Although the marks were very faint after being steamed, there were still some signs that could be used to make this judgment."

"The murderer must have held the body in his arms and slashed the victim's carotid artery, causing him to bleed to death."

"Where's the blood? Was there any found at the scene?"

"No, the blood was also in the pot and was boiled." Zhao Zhigang took the file from Lu Chuan, turned to the middle, and pointed it to Lu Chuan: "Not only that, we found that the ring finger of the deceased's left hand was cut off."

"And her heart, which is also missing."

"The heart is missing?"

“Where are the kidneys?”

Lu Chuan suddenly asked.

Zhao Zhigao knew why Lu Chuan asked this.

"You suspect organ smuggling, right? We have also speculated in this regard, but the conclusion is not true. Except for the heart, the deceased's internal organs are all intact."

"And...and the deceased's heart was not removed while the body was still alive. Instead, it was cut out after the body was steamed and cooked."

After steaming?

Lu Chuan was slightly surprised: "You mean..."

Zhao Zhigao sighed: "Yes, he should have been taken away by the murderer, or..."

Or something Zhao Zhigao didn’t say, it just felt too disgusting.

Then he said another thing.

"We found a sharp knife in the stove, which should be the murder weapon used by the murderer, but because it was burned by fire, there are no traces left on the knife."

Clothes, weapons, and everything else were burned.

The killer also cleaned the room.

"Are there any signs of vehicles?"

Lu Chuan asked.

"Have!"

Zhao Zhigao answered affirmatively.

"We found a tyre track on the edge of the road outside the farmhouse where the deceased was found."

"But we are not sure that the tire marks belong to the murderer's car. We interviewed the elderly people who stayed in the village and they saw vehicles entering and leaving the village on that day."

"But these elderly people don't pay much attention to it. Vehicles often pass through the village, both in front and behind Xijiagou Village. Other villages are also undergoing demolition work, so there are still many vehicles passing through."

But the problem is that there are many villages near Xigou Village in Beiwang Town, and some infrastructure around the ice factory has been demolished long ago. There is not a single surveillance camera within a radius of more than ten kilometers.

Zhao Zhigao sighed deeply.

"We have been investigating for three days, but if we start from the perspective of the vehicle, the possibility of finding the murderer is not very high. We have no way to identify him."

"What about interpersonal relationships?"

Now that the identity of the deceased has been confirmed, no matter who the murderer is, he must be related to the deceased.

Especially in cases like this where it is not a sudden crime, but the murderer deliberately chooses the crime scene and the crime method, it is likely that this was done by someone acquaintance of the deceased.

"Interpersonal relationships are the focus of our investigation. The possibility that the crime was committed by an acquaintance is relatively high, but so far, we have investigated almost all the people around the deceased and have not found any suspects who meet the requirements."

The Tianzhou City Criminal Investigation Brigade's case handling capabilities are among the best in the province, and they can certainly think of anything that Lu Chuan can think of. (End of this chapter)
