Eye of Sin

Chapter 258 Cause of Death
[I posted this before, please correct it. I’m really sorry! 】

The ditch on the roadside is not particularly wide, nor is it particularly deep. The width is only a little over one meter. A tall person can cross it in one step, and a small person can jump across it. The depth is only a hundred meters visually. Thirty to forty centimeters, there isn't much water underneath, and the silt looks thicker, maybe another dozen centimeters more.

Between the path and the ditch, there is an edge surrounded by cement bricks. Whether it is day or night, it seems unlikely that you will accidentally fall in while walking, or that you will fail in the challenge of crossing the ditch. sex.

But what is more regrettable is that a section of the road beside the ditch is full of loose sand. Although it is easy to make footprints, the resulting footprints are also very easy to be damaged.

Looking at the loose condition of the sand, as well as the vastness and the wind blowing on the unobstructed path, Ning Shuyi knew that the possibility of extracting the footprints was high.

The corpse was stuck in the ditch in a posture that was almost on its back, with its head pressed against the cement wall on the opposite side of the ditch, and its legs and feet squeezed against the cement wall on the opposite side in a twisted posture. The waist and hips slumped downward, as if part of them had sunk into the mud.

From the short hair and the clothes on his body, it can be seen that the deceased should be a male. Even though he was accidentally doused by the driver, he still looked like his head and face were covered in blood.

The body of the deceased was covered with large and small wounds. The clothes on his body, which should have been a light gray T-shirt, were now stained red. The parts exposed above the water had already been dried by the sun. It looks black and red, and as the wind blows, you can still smell the slightest fishy smell.

Several colleagues in the team were trying to figure out how to get the body out of the ditch. Huo Yan and the others hurried over to help.

Ning Shuyi also wanted to go over and help, but was pushed back by Luo Wei and the others.

"We have so many old men, why do you still need to do this kind of dirty work? You are the only one! Just watch from the side!"

A few young men were neither too dirty nor too ugly. As soon as they put on their shoe covers and gloves, they got on with what they needed to do and stepped in the mud of the ditch when they needed to.

Because there were really many wounds on the body of the deceased, they were numerous and messy. In order not to destroy the original appearance, no one dared to be careless. After several twists and turns, they finally removed the stiff body from the ditch intact. It was moved out and placed on the tarpaulin spread by the roadside.

Forensic doctor Zhang quickly conducted a preliminary examination on the body.

"How is it, Forensic Doctor Zhang? How is the body being preserved?" Ning Shuyi looked aside for a while, and seeing Forensic Doctor Zhang frowning, he asked with concern, "Is it difficult?"

Forensic Doctor Zhang turned to look at her and nodded: "It doesn't have any impact on me. It's just that after being washed away by the 'holy water', it's not easy to extract some fingerprints or hair that may have remained on the surface of the corpse. "

"Then why do you seem to be in trouble?" Ning Shuyi was a little confused.

"Because of the current situation, the wound does not look like it was caused by any weapon that we can usually name. It seems to be... bitten out." Forensic Doctor Zhang sighed, "The wound all over the body of the deceased There were too many places, and the whole body was covered in mud and blood. It was really not very clear at the moment. I guess I would have to wait until I get back, at least wash it off before I can draw a conclusion.

At present, it can only be said that, considering the temperature of this season, the deceased is now in a state of rigor mortis that has not yet been lifted, so the time of death should not exceed 12 hours. "

Ning Shuyi heard the preliminary determination of the time of death and nodded quickly: "Then we will know what time range to roughly target when searching for surveillance records nearby!" There was not much that they needed to do at the scene. The body was quickly loaded into a car and prepared to be taken back to the bureau. Luo Wei and Qi Tianhua were in a car and handed the car to Ning Shuyi and the others, and the two began to search for surveillance cameras nearby.

This area is really remote. It takes a long time in the morning to see a car passing by. There are no villages or shops around this road, making it even more inaccessible. There are only bare telephone poles on the roadside. I can’t even find them, let alone the monitoring equipment!
The two of them walked far away, but could not find any official or civilian surveillance cameras.

After driving for almost 10 minutes, they arrived at a relatively lively area. Residents began to appear around it, and there was a morning market that spontaneously formed.

Completely opposite to the deserted small fork road 10 minutes away, this place is extremely lively, crowded and chaotic, with various small vendors selling goods and vegetables, and people coming and going to buy vegetables, kneeling on the roadside. A beggar holding a stereo and begging.

What tricycles, agricultural vehicles, bicycles, old man music.

Some are pushing their wives, leading their children, and leading their dogs.

There are many kinds of places, bustling and full of people.

Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan checked the surveillance equipment nearby and found that only two shops facing the street had surveillance cameras. One of them was a plastic shell posted there to scare people, and it was not really surveillance.

During the rest of the night, the boss will unplug the power and shut it down, and then turn it back on when he gets to the store in the morning.

"You turned on the surveillance camera when you were in the store, and hung it up when you were not in the store?" Ning Shuyi was so surprised by his magical approach that he didn't know what to say, "Why do you do this?"

"Then what can you do? We are in a remote area. There are more people when there is a market during the day. After dark, there will be no one. Who am I to guard against when there is no one?" The shop owner answered rationally, " During the day, I only have two eyes in the store, so what can I do? When there are many people coming in and out of the store, if there is no surveillance video, if someone really steals things from my store, wouldn’t I? No one can be found!”

His statement sounded inexplicably reasonable, and Ning Shuyi had no choice but to ask him, dumbfounded, what time he usually closed the store at night and whether he would pass by the area where the crime was committed.

After hearing this, the boss immediately shook his head: "I never go there. People in our market all live more than 20 minutes' walk to the east. There is a community with new houses less than a year old, and they all live there!"

You said that there is nothing around that place. Even if you go further to the west, there is a group of troublemakers. They basically don't come to our side, and the people on our side are not willing to go there. "

　Guys, I'm back with an update!It’s super heartwarming to see the concern from friends in the comment area!
　　This wave of respiratory infections has been really brutal. Today, my body temperature has stabilized, but I have a cough that makes me completely lose my voice. Fortunately, I don’t have to make a sound to code, so it’s not a delay.

　　Other minor problems also require continued medication. There will be only one update for these few days this week. I hope to resume normal updates next week!

　　Everyone should also pay attention to protection and drink more hot water. The weather is unpredictable, so you should add or remove clothes in time!
