Department of Psychology Forensic

Chapter 46 Headless Corpse
"How is the body?"

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded from behind Zhou Zheng, startling the few people who were focused on the fire truck.

Zhou Zheng immediately turned his head to look over, and the person who spoke was Qin Wangde, Deputy Director of the Municipal Bureau.

"Qin Bureau, the body surfaces of the three corpses have been severely carbonized. Further autopsy is required to determine whether they were burned before death or burned after death. However, one thing is certain..." Cui Junhui reported: "This The fact that three bodies can be burned like this shows that they are very close to the point of fire."

"The three corpses are all very close to the fire point?" Qin Wangde narrowed his eyes slightly, obviously understanding the meaning.

"That's right." Cui Jun nodded, and said, "The fire in the library was fierce, but the firefighters rushed to put out the fire immediately. Judging by the degree of carbonization of the corpse, it is definitely near the fire point."

"So the three corpses were in the same position when the fire broke out, and they were still in the same place where the fire started. If they either set fire to themselves, or were burned to death or burned their bodies!" Qin Wangde still retained his sensitive detective skills. thinking.

"Yes, I suspect that this is a criminal case. Even if the three corpses are not together, they will be in three different fire locations. However, we don't have specific video data of the scene now, so we have no way to judge whether there are multiple fires. We need to wait for the fire scene identification provided by the fire department, or we will personally identify the fire point tomorrow." Cui Jun nodded and said.

"Come here in person tomorrow." Qin Wangde patted Cui Jun and said, "Old Cui, I know you are an appraisal expert at the scene of the fire accident. I am more assured that you can appraise the scene. Take Zhou Zheng."

"No problem." Cui Jun nodded again.

"Now transport these three corpses back. So many things happened today, so there is no rush to dissect them. Let's talk about it tomorrow morning." Qin Wangde said with a wave of his hand.

"Okay." Cui Jun continued to nod his head, and after Qin Wangde spoke, his heart relaxed a lot.

"Then let's leave if there's nothing else to do." Qin Wangde opened his eyes vigorously, and at this moment, by the light of the street lamp, he realized that he was also exhausted.

"Qin Bureau!"

Zhou Zheng spoke suddenly, frowning tightly, and stopped Qin Wangde who was about to leave.

"Is there anything else?" Qin Wangde asked doubtfully.

"Aren't we going to visit the Blue Rain Community?" Zhou Zheng asked.

"Did you say the second fire scene?" Qin Wangde felt that the first two were big when he mentioned such a thing, and said with emotion: "Today not only the murders came one after another, but also the fire scene followed, hey..."

"I have an indescribable premonition that the fire in the Blue Rain Community is not such a coincidence, maybe a corpse can be found at the scene." Zhou Zheng said in a deep voice.

"Bah, bah, what are you talking about, crow's mouth, don't you think things are not messy enough!" Qin Wangde gave Zhou Zheng a hard look.

"Why don't we go and have a look!" Zhou Zheng expressed his thoughts.

"Well then, Xia Yan, you take Zhou Zheng over there, and anyone who wants to go can take it with you. The rest of the people go back to rest, and the formal investigation will start tomorrow. No one is an iron man, so don't try to be brave to me. Get a good night's sleep. Come on, investigate the case seriously tomorrow!" Qin Wangde ordered.

"Yes!" Everyone at the scene responded.

Immediately, Qin Wangde turned around and left. He was really tired. Humans have limits. No matter how determined the will is, there is no way to fight against the natural laws of the body.

"Is there anything else you want to go?" Xia Yan looked around and said loudly.

After he spoke, the audience was silent for a while.

After going through so many things, almost everyone has reached the limit of exhaustion, almost falling asleep even driving, and can't bear to watch another fire scene.

"I, I'll go." Zhao Lei raised his hand and walked out from the crowd, ran to Xia Yan, and said, "Master, take me, I want to go."

"Okay, then let's go three." Xia Yan nodded, then waved to Zhou Zheng, and said, "Get in the car with me."

"Ah."

Zhou Zheng nodded in response, then looked at Cui Jun next to him, and said in a low voice, "Master, give me the exploration box. If there are really dead bodies, I'll put them back in body bags, and we'll dissect them tomorrow."

"Okay." Cui Jun stared at Zhou Zheng solemnly. He was indeed too tired, and Zhou Zheng's performance had already been recognized by him. It was extremely rare to choose to trust him, and said, "Wait for me."

After all, Cui Jun quickly walked towards the intersection where the parking lot was parked. Now that the fire engine has left, the road in front of the library has been cleared.

After a while, Cui Jun's car drove over. After parking the car, he got down from the driver's seat, opened the trunk, and took out the exploration box.

"The exploration box is here for you. You should be able to use everything in it. You can find the exact location yourself." Cui Jun took out another round access control card, handed it to Zhou Zheng, and said, "This is the underground The door card of the morgue, if there are corpses, you can put them in the mortuary to be dissected in Area A of the underground morgue, remember to close the door when you get there."

"Thank you, Master." Zhou Zheng took the exploration box and the access control card. With such a small move, he felt Cui Jun's trust.

"I'll leave it to you. I'm going back to sleep. I'm getting old and I can't hold it anymore." After Cui Jun waved his hand, he walked towards his car.

Zhou Zheng carried the exploration box and trotted towards the police car where Xia Yan was. The trunk of the car had already been opened.

After Zhou Zheng put the exploration box into the trunk, he found that Xia Yan was sitting in the back row, and Zhao Lei was sitting in the driver's seat.

"This way." Xia Yan waved to Zhou Zheng, motioning to sit beside him.

"Is this okay?" Zhou Zheng pulled the car door and sat in.

"It's okay, he is the driver, let's go, go to the Blue Rain Community." Xia Yan said bluntly.

"Okay!" Zhao Lei immediately started the car.

"Captain Xia, I'm sorry, because of my willfulness, you couldn't go back to rest." Zhou Zheng apologized.

"Do you think I'm unhappy?" Xia Yan tilted his head to look at Zhou Zheng, with a serious look on his face.

"It seems that there is..." Zhou Zheng said seriously.

"There's a fart!" Xia Yan said angrily: "I think the same as you. I think the fire in the Blue Rain Community is not easy. After you deduced where the murderer might observe the scene, I locked it immediately. Blue Rain Community, but due to the relatively late time, it is difficult to carry out the investigation work, I just contacted the community and the property, but at this time, there is a fire there, I can’t convince myself that it’s just a coincidence.”

"The Blue Rain Community may indeed be the place where the murderer of the puppet case hid and dismembered the corpse." Zhou Zheng said in a deep voice.

"So I don't think this fire is that simple!" Xia Yan's expression became serious, and he said, "How could the Jianghai City Library suddenly catch fire for no reason, and, as Forensic Cui said just now, this may be a criminal case , then someone set the fire on fire, if there was no fire in the Blue Rain Community, I haven't thought much about it yet, I think it might be an independent case, but..."

Zhou Zheng listened to Xia Yan's analysis silently, and didn't interrupt, because the directions of their suspicions were highly consistent.

The more Xia Yan talked, the more serious his face became. At the end of the talk, the bags under his eyes twitched.

"The fire in the library attracted all the attention of the surrounding fire brigades, and the fire trucks almost came out. During the negotiation with Yunling just now, I learned that if they want to put out the fire, they need to ask the fire trucks to go back and add water. Some firefighters went to the scene first to put out the fire, so there was no way to contain the fire in the Blue Rain Community in the first place, I don't believe this is a coincidence." Xia Yan said coldly.

"Captain Xia, do you think that the instigator of the two fires is the same person?" Zhou Zheng asked.

"That's right, that's what I think, so I want to take a look. If there is really something in the scene of the Lanyu Community, then it will confirm my guess." Xia Yan nodded and said: "Then not only are the two fire scenes the instigators The same person, even the murderer of the puppet case may be him!"

"I understand what you mean." Zhou Zheng nodded slowly. Now that he had thought of it together, he didn't say anything more. Everything in the end depends on the outcome of the fire scene.

"Zhou Zheng, you told Director Qin that you wanted to go to the scene. If I'm not wrong, you think so too!" Xia Yan said meaningfully.

"En." Zhou Zheng nodded.

"Then let's go and have a look!" Xia Yan clenched his fists and vowed inwardly that he must find out this brutal murderer.

……

When Zhao Lei drove his vehicle to the Blue Rain Community, he could already feel the panic here. The siren of the fire truck blared everywhere, and the community was full of onlookers.

These onlookers took videos with their mobile phones, recording the shocking experience in the middle of the night.

The scene of the fire was on the sixth floor of a residential building in Lanyu Community. Thick smoke was billowing out from the windows, and the flames could still be seen faintly.

Fortunately, the building only has six floors in total, and the fire broke out on the top floor. The upward fire did not cause too much damage to the overall residence.

Even so, the fire was still burning for a while, and the main reason was that the firefighters arrived at the scene later than usual.

……

After about half an hour, the fire was completely extinguished, and the busy scene gradually came to an end.

"team leader!"

At this moment, a firefighter ran out of the corridor. He was in charge of going deep into the scene, but the door of the burning resident's house was locked all the time. He couldn't break the door at all. After tearing down the door just now, he found a horrifying scene.

He ran to Yunling's side in a panic, panting heavily, his face was covered with charcoal black stains, and those round eyes were full of fear.

Such expressions are very rare for firefighters.

"What happened?" Yunling frowned, faintly aware of the problem, and lowered his voice a lot when speaking.

Even so, there were still many onlookers at the scene who couldn't bear their curiosity and listened to the situation here.

The three of Xia Yan also got out of the car and walked in the direction of Yunling. Before asking about the situation, they saw this panicked firefighter.

Immediately, Xia Yan looked towards Zhou Zheng, and happened to meet Zhou Zheng's eyes. The two looked at each other without saying anything, but they both understood each other's thoughts, and then they looked at the firefighter's eyes. dignified.

"Corps...there are corpses at the scene..."

The firefighter obviously didn't understand Yunling's meaning, his voice was still trembling a little, he seemed unable to control his volume, and he still spoke in a volume that was higher than normal.

Yunling's face became much uglier, not only because of the dead man, but also because the team member in front of him didn't know how to pay attention, and there were so many onlookers at the scene, speaking like this could easily cause panic.

Sure enough, as he expected, after hearing such words, the people at the scene immediately became gossiping, whispering to each other, and the news spread like a plague.

"Did the residents in the house be burned to death?" Yunling asked with a sullen face.

"No...not..." The firefighter's eyes widened. He was about to say something again when Yunling stopped him.

"Speak softly!" Yunling ordered.

"Yes..." The firefighter immediately realized that he had lost control of his emotions. After adjusting his breathing, he lowered his voice and said, "Three charred and headless corpses were found at the scene!"

"Headless corpse?!"

Yunling's pupils shrank fiercely, and he realized the seriousness of the situation instantly.

There is no need to think too much about this form of corpse at all. It must be burned after death, so this is the scene of the murder.

"Notify the criminal police immediately!"

Yunling ordered to the firefighter, he looked up at the small building in front of him, the windows on the sixth floor had stopped smoking, and the fire had been extinguished, but he was not happy at all.

"Captain Yun, we're already here." Xia Yan immediately went up to say hello.

"Tonight is really evil!" Yunling sighed.

"I heard some of your conversations just now. I didn't eavesdrop on purpose. It's true that your team members' voices were too loud, so I got into my ears." Standing beside Yunling, Xia Yan said, "Since it's The murder case, then leave it to me."

"It should be so." Yunling nodded, and said to the firefighters next to him: "Tell the brothers to evacuate, try not to damage the scene, don't mess with the corpse, and cooperate with the criminal police to take over the scene and make preparations for returning to the team."

"Yes!"

The firefighter had obviously recovered. He just didn't expect to encounter a headless corpse after entering the scene, which brought him a great psychological shock.

If the person died in the fire, he was prepared in his heart, but the headless corpse was obviously killed first and then set on fire, then the nature of this kind of thing is different. Seeing this kind of murder scene, let him also Received a certain impact.

Immediately, he quickly ran towards the building and conveyed Yunling's instructions.

On the other side, Xia Yan had already taken out his mobile phone, and started dialing numbers one after another to report back the situation of the Blue Rain community.
