Serious Case Tracking

Chapter 50 The Devil Comes
In the cold winter, animals choose to hibernate in such a season, while humans choose to be lazy. The most obvious feature is that they habitually lie in a warm bed in the morning.But crimes will not "hibernate" or "lazy" because of this. Whether it is the alternation of seasons or the rotation of day and night, it will happen suddenly without warning, and there is no law to be found.

In the early morning, when most people are still in warm beds, the sanitation workers have already started their busy work. Facing the cold wind, a sanitation worker pulls a garbage truck to stop and go to clean the fallen leaves and dust on the road. Garbage, when he walked to the trash can on the side of the road and was about to clean it up, he saw a red and white striped woven bag beside him. He thought it was the luggage of some homeless man, but when he looked around, he couldn't see it. I can't even see half a person, that's right, it's impossible for homeless people to sleep on the road in this cold weather!He saw that the woven bag was quite new, and it didn't look like it was holding garbage, so he leaned forward and poked the woven bag with a broom. He felt that the inside was bulging, and out of curiosity, he stepped forward and opened the bag on the bag. When he saw clearly that the contents in the bag turned out to be a highly decomposed corpse, he screamed and fell to the ground. His soul was almost knocked out of his senses. After recovering, he scrambled and ran to the public phone booth beside him to call the police.

Ten minutes later, five police cars arrived at the scene and quickly cordoned off the surrounding areas. Subsequently, Meng Shaohui, captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, also led a team to the scene.

When the forensic doctor took the corpse out of the woven bag, some young police officers immediately ran to the side and vomited continuously after seeing it.From the appearance of the naked corpse, it can be distinguished that the deceased was a woman, but the head was cut off, and the body was decomposed in a large area, and almost no skin was intact. It is strange that such a rotten corpse has no There was a choking stench.

"Did you find the body?" Meng Shaohui walked to the sanitation worker and asked.

From the pale face of the sanitation worker, it can be seen that he has not yet recovered from the fright, and his body trembles unconsciously: "Yes, yes." It took him a long time to squeeze out these three words from his teeth. words.

"Don't be afraid, there are all policemen here now, so relax." Meng Shaohui comforted.

"I... I really don't... don't know... there are dead... dead people inside." The sanitation worker stammered.

"Well, when you found the woven bag, did you notice anything special nearby?" Meng Shaohui tried not to mention the corpse, so that the sanitation workers could calm down a little.

"No...no, I just cleaned up the road as usual. I wanted to clean up the garbage in the trash can, but then I found that...that woven bag. I thought it was the luggage of a homeless man at the time, but There was no one around, I thought the bag was quite new, so I wanted to open it to see what was inside, and it turned out to be..." The sanitation worker didn't continue.

"Well, I see, the police will take a detailed record for you in a while, you should take a rest first!" After speaking, Meng Shaohui walked to the corpse and carefully observed the horrific corpse.

"Don't you feel any discomfort?" the forensic doctor looked up at Meng Shaohui and asked.

"Fortunately, no matter how rotten it is, I have seen it. Compared with the corpse, I am more concerned about the case." Meng Shaohui replied, "The skin on the corpse should not be caused by rot, right?"

"Yes, it should have been caused by people throwing sulfuric acid all over their body. Judging from the liver temperature of the corpse, the time of death was about 6 hours." The forensic doctor said.

"What about the cause of death?"

"Because the corpse was corroded by sulfuric acid in a large area, the exact cause of death cannot be determined for the time being. However, there are no obvious signs of trauma on the surface of the corpse. It may be poisoning or suffocation. The specific cause of death will not be known until I finish the autopsy."

"Where's the other end? Is it in the woven bag?"

"No, it must have been thrown somewhere else by the murderer! There is nothing in the woven bag except the corpse, not even any items that can prove the identity of the corpse." The forensic doctor said helplessly, "I will hand over the autopsy report as soon as possible." For you."

"Thank you!" Meng Shaohui said politely, and then he ordered the police to expand the search area to find the missing head of the corpse.

The search continued until the afternoon, but unfortunately, the missing head of the corpse was still missing, but there was initial progress in the identity of the deceased.

In the afternoon, the police station received a report from a mother, saying that her daughter hadn’t come home after a reunion with her classmates last night. She thought her daughter was spending the night at a classmate’s house because she played too late, but there was no news of her daughter until noon, so she I called, but my daughter’s mobile phone was turned off. I contacted my classmates, and they said that the party ended after 10 o’clock that night, and her daughter had already gone home. At this time, the mother felt that something was wrong, so she reported Called the police, and the police station reported the situation to the Criminal Investigation Brigade in time.After Meng Shaohui learned about it, he immediately arranged for the mother to undergo a DNA test. According to the comparison, it was confirmed that the deceased was her daughter Xu Yan, and this sad news made the mother faint on the spot like a bolt from the blue.After confirming the identity of the deceased, Meng Shaohui immediately asked investigators to question Xu Yan's classmates who were partying at that time, and at the same time investigate Xu Yan's social circle.

In the hospital, Xu Yan's mother woke up quickly under the doctor's treatment, but just after waking up, she cried and wanted to leave the hospital to find her daughter. She was too excited to accept her daughter's death.

"Don't get too excited, pay attention to your body." Meng Shaohui comforted him by the hospital bed.

"Who is so cruel! Why did you kill my daughter! My daughter is very good, why is that! She is only 19 years old!" Xu Yan's mother cried excitedly.

Her crying deeply shocked Meng Shaohui. Although he has experienced many cases, this is the first time he has encountered such a cruel murder. He really does not understand how the murderer can treat a 19-year-old girl With such a vicious hand, not only killing people, but also mutilating and dismembering corpses.

"Officer, you must catch the murderer! I beg you." Xu Yan's mother suddenly grabbed Meng Shaohui's arm tightly, crying and begging.

"Don't worry, this is our duty." Meng Shaohui replied without thinking, his eyes full of determination and confidence, "Do you know your daughter Xu Yan well? I mean her private life."

"Well, Yanyan is very obedient and obedient. She will tell me what's on her mind." Xu Yan's mother suppressed the grief in her heart and replied with a sob.

"Then does she have a boyfriend?" Meng Shaohui continued to ask.

"No, she told me that I'm not in a hurry to look for it. Now I have to focus on my studies. After all, college students don't have as many advantages in society as before, so I can learn more when I have time. When I graduate in the future, I will have more. It’s never too late to find a good job.”

"Then has she ever had any enmity with anyone?"

"This is absolutely impossible. Yanyan is usually soft-spoken to everyone. When a classmate asks her for a favor, as long as she can do what she can, she will never say 'no', and the relationship with her classmates is handled very well. Well, how can you have an enmity with someone?"

"Well, you can take a good rest here first! Don't think too much, we will definitely investigate your daughter's case with all our strength and bring the murderer to justice." Meng Shaohui said again confidently.

In the evening, the forensic doctor sent the autopsy report to Meng Shaohui: "The time of death of the deceased was between 11 o'clock and 12 o'clock last night. The cause of death was suffocation by being pinched by the neck, but no fingerprints were found because the substance that caused extensive destruction of the body The skin of the neck has been completely corroded by sulfuric acid. Through the analysis of the incision on the neck, the tool used by the murderer is a hacksaw used by a fitter, and the murderer did not cause obvious damage to the joints during the cutting. Have a certain understanding of human anatomy knowledge."

"Are there no other clues?" Meng Shaohui asked.

"Well, the body was corroded by sulfuric acid, and the evidence that can be found from the surface can be said to be negligible. In addition, a large amount of bath liquid was found inside the body. Because the bath liquid flowed into the body, it is certain that the murderer had washed the body However, and the body should have been placed in a bathtub when the head was cut, which caused the bath liquid to be poured into the body."

"Washing the corpse, dismembering the corpse, and destroying the corpse with sulfuric acid, this murderer is not only cruel, but also seems to have certain psychological problems. He can do such a cruel thing to a young girl." Meng Shaohui angrily reprimanded, "You said the murderer has no knowledge of human anatomy?" With a certain understanding, could it be a doctor?"

"I can't answer this for you, because those who understand human anatomy, in addition to Chinese medicine, Western medicine, plastic surgery doctors, and medical students have also learned this kind of knowledge, but some students may not have this knowledge after graduation. Practicing medicine, or some doctors resign or change careers, in short, all kinds of possibilities exist.”

"Then doesn't this mean that there is no direction for investigation at all?"

"That's all the answers I can get from the corpse. The murderer destroyed the corpse with sulfuric acid just to cover up the evidence." The forensic doctor said helplessly.
