serious crime

Chapter 5 Massacre (4)
After arriving at the scene, Yao and Shun couldn't wait to go to the corpse to understand the situation.

"Captain Yao, please take a look at this first!"

Before Yao and Shun could speak, the forensic doctor handed him an evidence bag.

After receiving the evidence bag, Yao and Shun were surprised by what was inside, because it contained a piece of A4 paper, and he could already memorize the content written on it, "If you do your own crimes, you can't live. The sinful body will be punished by death." , the color is so bright red, and the edges of each word are traces of red liquid flowing down, all of which are so similar to the piece of paper left at the scene of Zhao Kai's murder.

Of course, apart from the similar content on the paper, the situation at the scene was different. There were no mutilated corpses, no microwaved corpses, but only a bloody male corpse with a mineral spring stuffed in its mouth. water bottle.

"Is there any preliminary conclusion?" Yaoshun asked.

"The death time of the deceased was about 2 hours. There was an obvious scar on the back of the head of the deceased who was hit by a hard object, but it should not be the real cause of death. There were two obvious bruises on the neck of the deceased, one surrounding the entire neck, and one It is in the shape of a half-arc. The aorta in the neck of the deceased was severed, and a mineral water bottle was stuffed into his mouth, so the real cause of death is still hard to judge, but what is certain is that this is not the scene of the first murder, because the corpse No excess blood was found around the body, and it is believed that the deceased was hung here after death. In addition, there were obvious bruises on the middle of the calf and thigh of the deceased, combined with the two bruises on the neck of the deceased According to the analysis, it is very likely that the height of the scene of the first crime is not high enough to hang the deceased, so the murderer bent the calf and tied the thigh together."

After hearing the preliminary conclusion of the forensic doctor, Yao and Shun immediately asked the on-site investigators about the situation of the deceased.

"Who found the body first?"

"A taxi driver found the body and reported it to the police, but he was so frightened that he was still incoherent and unable to ask questions for the time being."

"Any clues to the identity of the deceased?"

"The deceased's wallet is still on him, and all the belongings in it are there. The ID card of the deceased was found in it. The deceased's name is Li Wei. Colleagues are already checking his information. In addition, there is a mobile phone on the deceased's body."

After taking the mobile phone, Yaoshun opened the call records. In the half an hour before the deceased was killed, there were two incoming calls with the same number, about 15 minutes apart.

Yao Shun tried to press the callback button, and then put the mobile phone to his ear. Soon, the voice of "The user you dialed has turned off, please call later" came from the mobile phone.

"Are there any other witnesses at the scene?" Yao Shun asked after putting down his phone.

"This is a small road. Almost no one will pass by in the middle of the night, and there is no 'Global Eye' installed here. There are residential walls on both sides of the road, and there are no shops, so there are no other witnesses except the taxi driver. .”

"After dawn, immediately investigate the residents of the community on both sides of the street to see if we can find any clues."

While talking, a scout walked up to Yaoshun and said, "Captain Yao, the situation of the deceased has been preliminarily investigated. The deceased Li Wei was a vendor in the 'Rongda' vegetable market, and he was in the business of killing dogs. "

"Killing the dog?" Yao and Shun immediately became alert, "And it has something to do with the dog?"

"Yes, but we can only find out these things for the time being. Detailed information can only be found after the vegetable market opens after dawn."

"Well, immediately arrange for Li Wei's family members to identify the body in the team, and then take it to the reception room. I want to ask some questions." Yao Shun ordered.

In the reception room of the police station, Ye Ping, the wife of the deceased Li Wei, was crying from the ground up, and the voice was "shattering".

"I know it will be hard for you to accept this fact for a while, but I hope you can calm down and provide us with some clues to the police to help us solve the case. You can't solve any problems by crying like this." Yao Shun said, frowning.

But Ye Ping kept crying as if she couldn't hear anything.

In desperation, Yaoshun had no choice but to find a female police officer and ask her to comfort Ye Ping. It is easier for women to communicate with each other. He himself hid in the corridor next to the reception room to quiet his ears temporarily.

It took a long time for the female police officer to calm Ye Ping's emotions. She found Yao Shun in the corridor and told him that he could go in for questioning. Yao Shun then returned to the reception room in peace.

Compared with just now, the reception room is much quieter now, and Ye Ping's mood has also calmed down. She didn't cry like "earth-shattering" just now, but kept sobbing softly.

"Can you answer a few questions for me?" Yaoshun asked.

Encouraged by the female police officer, Ye Ping sobbed and nodded.

"What time did Li Wei leave home last night?"

"It should be eleven or two o'clock, but I don't know the exact time." Ye Ping choked up, "At that time, my child and I had slept for a long time, and Li Wei's cell phone rang suddenly, and then he answered the phone Just go out."

"Do you know the content of the call?"

"He said that the caller said he had a cheap dog and asked him if he wanted it, and he said he would go and have a look."

"Then did he say the identity of the person looking for him?"

"No, in fact, some of the people who contacted him stole dogs, so the other party didn't say anything, so he wouldn't ask too much. Anyway, if he had a dog, he would just collect it."

"Then have you seen this mobile phone number before?" Yao Shun handed over Li Wei's mobile phone while speaking.

Ye Ping looked at the number and thought for a moment, then shook her head.

"Did anything special happen recently?"

"No, we do business honestly. What special things can happen? Isn't it just setting up a stall in the market in the morning and closing it in the afternoon?"

"Has Li Wei had any enemies with anyone?"

Ye Ping thought for a while and said: "No, absolutely not. We came here from our hometown after the Chinese New Year this year, because Awei said that the child is almost going to school, and it is better to let the child receive education in a big city Our hometown is much better. Ah Wei used to kill dogs when he was in his hometown, so we rented a stall in the market to sell dog meat. We have only been here for two months, so how can we have a feud with someone! "

"What about back home?"

"That's even more impossible. Ah Wei is very honest. He is a well-known good man in the village. In the village, he has never made a bad face or quarreled with anyone. If someone asks him for help with something, he is If you can help, you will help, so how can you make enemies with others?"

"Then how did Li Wei kill the dog in the market?"

Seeing that no valuable clues could be found from Li Wei, Yao and Shun shifted their focus to Li Wei's killing of dogs.

"He set up a horizontal pole next to the stall, grabbed the dog out of the cage and hung it on the horizontal pole, then stuffed a mineral water bottle full of water into the dog's mouth, and then cut the dog's neck with a knife to let the blood out , followed by disembowelling and flaying, he also killed dogs in the same way in his hometown, nothing special."

Although in Ye Ping's view, this is nothing special, but to Yao and Shun, it is an important clue, because Li Wei's method of killing dogs is basically the same as his method of death, except that it is not as bloody as disembowelling and flaying. .

But there is one thing that Yao and Shun don't understand. There are so many people who kill dogs, and the methods they use are all the same, but why did the murderer attack Li Wei?Was there something wrong with it that he hadn't noticed?

Before dawn, the vendors in the vegetable market are already busy. Chicken, duck, fish, seasonal vegetables and fruits, and all kinds of dry goods have been placed on the stalls, just waiting for customers to come and choose.

At this time, Yao Shun and several scouts walked into the vegetable market, which also attracted the attention of the vendors. Usually, there are hardly any people here at this time. It was the first time I saw the screen that appeared.

After Yao and Shun whispered a few words to the scout, the crowd dispersed and walked towards the vendors.

Yao and Shun walked to the booth of the deceased Li Wei alone, but at this time, there was nothing in the booth except a long blood-stained table.

Opposite Li Wei's stall was a stall selling pork. In front of the stall stood an obese stall owner. Because the business hadn't started yet, he was smoking a cigarette and looked at Yao and Shun curiously.

Yao Shun turned his head and saw the gaze of the owner of the pork stall, and walked towards the pork stall.

The stall owner was taken aback when he saw Yaoshun walking in front of his stall, but soon he habitually asked, "What do you want? The pork here is fresh! Make sure you haven't filled it with water."

Yao Shun smiled slightly and said, "Hehe, I'm not here to buy meat."

"That's buying dog meat? That kid Li Wei doesn't know what happened today, but he hasn't come out to set up a stall yet. I guess you have to wait a while."

"I don't know what to call you?"

"Hehe, my name is Wang Biao, and they all call me Pork Biao." Wang Biao said with a smile.

"Are you familiar with Li Wei?"

"It's okay, they're all on the opposite side, and we'll have a few chats when there's no business." Having said that, Wang Biao looked at Yao and Shun again, and then asked, "You don't look like you're here for shopping. , do you have something to do with Li Wei?"

Yao Shun took out his ID and said, "Li Wei was killed last night."

"What! He was killed?" Wang Biao asked in surprise.

"Yes, so I hope you can cooperate with our police and provide some clues."

"We must cooperate, we must cooperate." Wang Biao nodded and said.

"How is Li Wei?"

"He's a good person, talkative, and very enthusiastic. Usually, if you ask him to help you look at the stall for something, he will agree, but the method of killing dogs is a little bit cruel."

"How cruel is his method of killing dogs?"

"He hung the dog alive, then stuffed a mineral water bottle full of water into the dog's mouth, and then stabbed the dog's neck."

"Isn't that the way to kill dogs?"

"That's true, but Li Wei killed them in front of those live dogs. You must know that dogs are animals with human nature. If you kill their own kind in front of other dogs, do you think those dogs will be angry when they see them?" Are you afraid? As soon as he kills the dogs, the dogs in the cages will start barking incessantly. The sound is so miserable that it makes one’s heart tremble. We, who set up stalls around him, persuaded him not to do this. He either hides the live dogs first, or finds a piece of cloth to cover the cage, but he just won't listen, so we can't say anything more."

After listening to Wang Biao's words, Yao and Shun seemed to understand why the murderer chose Li Wei to attack.

"Then did he have any enmity with anyone?" Yaoshun continued to ask.

"He has only been in this market for a short time, so how could he form an enmity with others? Isn't he afraid of offending people, and the business can't go on!"

What Wang Biao mentioned about Li Wei's cruel method of killing dogs was also confirmed by the mouths of other vendors, which also made Yao and Shun more affirmed his judgment. The method of killing dogs.

Today, the nature of the case has changed from a single homicide to a serial homicide, and the murderer's motive is very likely to be related to dogs.

After finishing the investigation of the vegetable market, Yao and Shun quickly returned to the police station, because the scouts said they found something new on the Internet.

"What's the matter?" Yao Shun asked impatiently as soon as he returned to the office.

"When we searched for some non-governmental dog-loving organizations on the Internet, we found a website called 'Dog Love You Jia'. Although this website has only been established for a short year, because it is a local website and often organizes 'pet friends' It is a meeting between people, so it is very famous in the local area. In the forum of the website, we found a post about searching for dogs, and this post was put on the top page by the administrator. Check it out, it's about finding a white Pomeranian."

"White Pomeranian? Open it for me right away."

In front of the computer, the scout clicked on the so-called "love you are good" website forum, and sure enough there was a post titled "Looking for Snowflakes" on the top home page. After opening it, there were several photos of white Pomeranian dogs , the white Pomeranian is small in size and snow-white all over. It is quite realistic to call it "Snowflake". On its small white head, a pink bowknot hairpin is particularly eye-catching. Text:

"The puppy in the photo is a cute white Pomeranian named 'Snow Flower', 5 years old, features: snow-white all over, wearing a pink butterfly hairpin, lost on August 2010, 8.'Snow Flower''s The owner Xue Qi (website ID: jelly pudding) is the most popular member of this website. She unfortunately died in a car accident on August 25, 2010. 'Snow Flower' was Xue Qi's favorite puppy during her lifetime, so her family is eager to To find 'Snow Flower', if anyone sees or takes it in, please contact this website as soon as possible, thank you very much!"

"A white Pomeranian with a pink bow hairpin on its head. These two features are similar to the puppy Zhao Kai killed. You immediately take the photo to the four students in Zhao Kai's dormitory to identify it." Finally, he said, "Also, check the situation of Xue Qi, the owner of this dog, and find me the person in charge of this website."

Meanwhile, the medical examiner walks in with the autopsy report.

"I won't take a closer look, just tell me about the situation." Yao Shun said after receiving the autopsy report.

"The time of death of the deceased was about 2 hours before the discovery of the body, that is, around 1:[-] this morning. There was a scar on the back of the deceased's head that was struck by a hard object. From the analysis of the wound, the murder weapon should be a hammer, and it was the same as the first one. The scars on the back of the deceased’s head in the murder case are basically the same. In addition, we also extracted a small amount of metal substances from the wounds on the neck of the deceased. After analysis and comparison, the composition of the metal substances found in previous cases is also consistent.”

"So the murderer of the two murders should be the same person."

"Basically the same determination can be made."

"What about the specific cause of death?"

"The murderer should have hung the deceased first, and then stuffed a mineral water bottle full of water into the deceased's mouth, and the mouth of the bottle was so deep that it was already on the throat. Under such circumstances, the deceased was struggling. When choking, a large amount of water will be poured into the trachea and lungs, causing coughing, and the deceased's neck artery was cut off, causing a large amount of blood loss while coughing. His death was caused by the simultaneous action of these two factors. Caused. On the mineral water bottle, we did not find any fingerprints, and the bottle was not filled with mineral water or pure water, but ordinary tap water, and the water quality was slightly cloudy and yellowish."

"Is the water cloudy and yellowish?"

"This is mainly due to the secondary pollution of tap water caused by corrosion of the galvanized pipes from the first valve behind the user's general meter to the user's home due to overuse or pipe quality problems. This phenomenon is most common during the early morning to morning hours. However, since new residential buildings now use PE pipes instead of galvanized pipes, this kind of problem basically does not exist. The age of the building should be more than 5 years, or even earlier." The forensic doctor explained.

"The time when the deceased was murdered was around 1:5 in the morning. The murderer killed the deceased with such a complicated method. He must have had his own place of residence. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to commit crimes. This residence is likely to be a building that has been built for more than five years. Residential building." Yao Shun thought in his heart.

The conclusion of the autopsy report gave the investigation of the case a new direction. At the same time, after Yao and Shun investigated the situation of No. 2 deceased Li Wei, he also had a new idea in his heart.

Li Wei came from his hometown to sell dog meat at the vegetable market after the Chinese New Year. That is to say, not many people know him, and the only people who patronize his business are those who love to eat dog meat or are in the dog meat business. It is impossible for these people to care about how cruel his method of killing dogs is. They are more concerned about whether the dog meat is fresh, so this type of people can basically rule out suspicion.

Now that the suspicion of people patronizing Li Wei's business has been ruled out, the remaining key question is the time when Li Wei set up his stall. He only set up a stall in the vegetable market after the Chinese New Year. Why was he targeted by the murderer so soon?The most important point is that this murderer also killed another dog killer, Zhao Kai.

Combining all kinds of doubts, Yao and Shun guessed that the murderer most likely lived in an old residential area near the vegetable market, which seemed to explain why Li Weicai was stared at by the murderer within two months of setting up a stall in the market. Come on, if he is not a resident who often goes to the market to buy vegetables or lives nearby, even if he is a dog lover, I believe it is impossible to notice a butcher who kills dogs in the market.

Therefore, Yao Shun immediately ordered the scouts not to conduct blind investigations, but to search the surrounding residential buildings with the vegetable market as the center point, and asked the police station and community neighborhood committees to assist them to conduct a "population census" of all the residents in the area under their jurisdiction. Data collection, especially the tenants in residential buildings with a construction time of more than 5 years are the key targets.

On the other hand, through identification, the four students in the same dormitory as Zhao Kai all recognized that the puppy "Snow Flower" in the dog search revelation was the puppy that Zhao Kai killed with a microwave oven. The pink butterfly hairpin, but because the puppies have similar appearances, the pink butterfly hairpin may also be similar, so Yao and Shun still only use this clue as a reference when there is no certainty.

After receiving the call from the police, the person in charge of the "Painting Youjia" website rushed to the police station in about half an hour.

The person in charge of the website is a woman named Sun Mengmeng, in her twenties, tall and tall, with shoulder-length long hair, wearing a pair of sunglasses that can block half of her face, and her fair complexion and The slightly yellowish skin tone on the neck is in stark contrast, showing how thick a layer of foundation she has applied on her face.

As soon as she entered Yaoshun's office, the strong smell of perfume immediately "filled" the room.
