"So ... what we need to investigate is the school bullying that was born recently (fa)! And the other person is like malicious revenge, like Feng Tianhao, then this school bullying is most likely the cause of the murder It was after the school bullying first that the murderer began to plan to commit crimes, and then revenge the two deceased Feng Tianhao by the way ... Therefore, the child of the murderer is most likely to suffer the power of the school!
Before that, Xing Yuanxin discovered that Xie Jindou and Peng Huachen and the original deceased Feng Tianhao did not seem to have any connection at all on the surface.Afterwards, they investigated that Xie Jindou and Peng Huachen liked to go online together, but Feng Tianhao never I have not appeared in an Internet cafe. This has been confirmed by the owner of the Internet cafe. The Internet manager of the Internet cafe also said that he has never seen Feng Tianhao. +++ Cartino Novel Network EbookFREE.me
It turns out that Feng Tianhao's cause of death was completely different from those of Xie Jindou and Peng Huachen.
"Well." Xiao Qingrong nodded and continued to eat. In this case, the crime was actually very brutal, and there was no technical content. All the bodies were cut by chainsaws. As long as the chainsaw model was investigated, some special items departments in this city were investigated. Most of the products such as chainsaws have purchase records, which makes it easier to check.
"Okay, boy! You have a good idea. After we go back, we will continue to study Xie Jindou and Peng Huachen. As long as we find out who they are on the campus (violent bao), then this case will soon come to an end !!!"
Reaching out to slap Xiao Qingrong, Xing Yuanxin even felt that he had a better vision. This child really is not an embroidered pillow. Don't look at people like a vase, but this background is more than the average policeman (strong qiang), no matter from reasoning , Or from the details of the discovery, are very powerful, if not Xiao Qingrong, they would not be able to find the two bodies.
Xiao Qingrong said nothing and continued to eat, but Xing Yuanxin was more curious about him.
"Hey, Qing Rong, do you know our captain Shao Yang? He seems to care about you." This is what Xing Yuanxin discovered. Generally speaking, a captain like Xiao Qingrong should be very welcome, but no It's been almost half a year since the child came to the police station. Captain Shao hasn't met the child a few times. Before, it can be said that there are too many cases to be overwhelmed. Now it seems that it was deliberately not meeting.
"I've seen it before." Xiao Qingrong looked up and glanced at Xing Yuanxin. This glance made Xing Yuanxin always feel that Xiao Qingrong seemed to have some intention.
"So ... did you become a policeman because of Captain Shao? Why do you want to be a policeman?"
Xing Yuanxin chattered. The police were not good enough these years. Do n’t look at public officials, but one by one in society is like a wolf-like tiger. This policeman stops at the roadside and ca n’t even get a taxi. , When faced with more dangers when necessary, wages are just a little bit, most of the contemporary young people do not come to be police, most of them are people with a high sense of personal honor, of course, personal belief is also considered In order to be a policeman.
In terms of the glory in front of me, it's just the appearance, it is enough to make a debut as a star, even if it is an 18-line small net red, it is always more profitable than the police, and it is not dangerous.
In this life, Xing Yuanxin was in this police station, but his son, Xing Yuanxin had never thought of letting his son be a police officer. When the police was too tired, I was sorry for my parents, I was sorry for my wife and children, and it was easy to bring danger. At home, he one is enough.
"Find the truth."
Xiao Qingrong had finished eating and gave three short words. Xing Yuanxin froze and couldn't figure out which question he was answering. After Xiao Qingrong stood up, he hurried to follow up. The two of them ate very quickly. .
At nine o'clock, everyone gathered in the reconnaissance team again. This time, the autopsy report came out, and great progress was made, and Shao Yang, the captain of the criminal investigation team, was also there because he had just discovered a very shocking thing on the highway. The very broken (meat rou) Mo has been identified, and the two cases have been completely merged!
"I have sent you the autopsy report. You can take a look at it. This time there are two deceased after dissection. The first deceased name is Xie Jindou, male (sexual), seventeen, height 175, weight. 60 kilograms, with no trace of clothing on his body, no fingerprints on his skin, his left hand was sawed off with a chainsaw, and the wound was very neat. After an afternoon survey, this type of chainsaw should be a more common type of sawn wood on the market A chainsaw can be made by an adult (cao). There are several models. I have written them in the report. But his fatal injury is not here, but (chest xiong). He was killed by the murderer. , Poking directly on the heart, the weapon should be a dagger that is 20 cm long and 3 cm wide, sharpened by the murderer, leaving very smooth marks. In addition, in the stomach of the deceased, I have checked the stomach According to preliminary estimates, the deceased should have died ten days ago, that is, about ten to eleven days. The remaining food in the stomach was rotten, and the remaining sleeping pills were detected. Sleeping pills admit, that the murderer first halo fans of the dead, carried out after the attack. In addition external body was coated with a layer of special gel, so there is not much sign of decay. "
Zheng Forensic Doctor is explaining the death of the deceased in detail. Everyone in the office is listening carefully, looking at the documents while listening, and then recording some necessary details, but only from some small details. Discover the most important things.
"The other deceased's name was Peng Huachen, male (sexual), eighteen years old, 176 tall, and weighed 60 kg. He was the same as the last deceased, and his stomach was found to contain common sleeping pills, (death si) The cause of death was also fatal, the heart was directly smashed, and the weapon was the same. One of his left legs was also cut with a chainsaw by the murderer, which is one of the left legs in the snowman case. We have performed a corpse suture, at least the victim ’s family. You can see the whole body. "
These two deceased were the two deceased originally found on the back wall of Fengyang High School. When everyone heard that their (death si) death was so brutal, the mood was naturally very strange.
Originally, the Snowman case sounded very vicious, like a deliberate revenge, but also a bright show. It inevitably made people feel like a murderer, but after listening to the forensic report, all Everyone was a little silent.
It's too rough ...
This (sha-sha) method is too rough!
Not like someone who can make a snowman behavior!
"Which sleeping pills are on the market?"
In fact, since the medical department of the country has been gradually improved, such sleeping pills are prescription drugs, which must be prescribed before they can be purchased in the hospital, so using sleeping pills to faint a person is a very stupid death method.
"It is the most common stabilizer. Generally, people with insomnia can buy it through prescription drugs, and some people (shen) who have diseases and can't enter (sleep Shui) can also easily buy it. Here we have Stabilizers are available in at least eight pharmacies. "
Zheng Forensic Doctor also discovered the peculiarity of this case. Such a (kill sha) human technique! It's too scribbled! It's incredible to Lin people!
Generally, in addition to impulsive (sha killing) people, as long as they are carefully calculated to want (sha killing) people, there will be a top-secret plan, the action is more people can not find, but this case is too simple !!
The moment the autopsy report came out, it was almost possible to imitate the criminal's crime process, that is, to ask the two children out of the home, and then take the medicine when they met, and then killed (killed) the two children, two The child's (death) death time should be extremely similar.
So ... in what way did the killer invite two people out?
"In addition, there is an autopsy report here, or that is not the body." Zheng Forensic spoke again, and then on the projection screen, there were photos taken at the scene. The white snow was crushed by the road. The traces are black (color), but at this time, the red (color) black (color) and white (color) are intertwined. It looks dirty and makes people stare.
"This inspection was in the afternoon when Captain Shao received a report saying that an unknown red (color) object appeared under the highway bridge. After arriving at the scene, it was found that the body was crushed by the vehicle. We collected all the residue on the scene, but it was broken. Very thin, even the bones were crushed by the large cars coming and going. I do n’t know how many vehicles came and went overnight. They could not see the people on the ground. They were crushed back and forth, so that the corpse finally became broken. What I could find were a few bones and (meat). There was no killer's teeth and skull at the scene, but evidence of fingernails and toenails, which are not easily damaged, was found. After returning, we had blood. The DNA test showed the latest results just now-this corpse has been broken into such a body, which was Feng Tianhao, the first deceased in the case of the Yeti. "
How can a person hate a person so that his body is crushed? The skull was separated from the corpse, and ended in a dead body? What kind of hate is this?
Compared to the death of Xie Jindou and Peng Huachen, the death of Feng Tianhao is more unconscious, and most importantly, because the corpse is too fragmented, only the skull Under the circumstances, it is impossible to know how the dead died (death si).
Shao Yang froze. This time it was not the usual indifference, but a real indifference. As long as he was a police officer, he would feel very disgusted when he heard such a very frustrating case.
The stability of a society means that the safety of the people is not threatened, and the death of six people directly is really a big challenge for Shaoyang, the captain of the criminal investigation team.
"Zheng Forensic Doctor, we will study the following materials. You have been busy all day, so hurry up and rest."
Dissection is not an easy task, and it needs to be done from various aspects. Today, Zheng Forensic has not stopped for a whole day, and has been working. From the morning when the body was sent to the present, it is ten o'clock and he has not returned. Home.
"Xing Ye, Team Shao, the case will be left to you. If you need me, please call me and my cell phone will be turned on 24 hours."
Zheng Forensic nodded, and God (color) was a little tired. After all, dissection was a matter that must be focused. After saying hello to everyone, he left the reconnaissance team and went to work.
There are ten other people in this room, all of whom are looking at the case. This case is very strange. From the way of committing the crime, the choice of weapon, and the candidate of the deceased, it is strange. It feels indescribable ...
There was only the sound of everyone reading the information in the room. Everyone was frowning, thinking about how this case was born, how it became like this, and why the killer wanted to kill someone. His crimes What is the motivation?
Generally speaking, as long as a case knows the motive of the crime, it will soon have results, so they need to know the motive of the murderer in the fastest time (touch Mo). Only by knowing the motive of the crime can they know exactly what the case is. How (fa) was born.
It took more than half an hour before someone spoke and offered their opinion.
"Team Shao, I just looked at these materials. I think there must be two or more murderers, because (kill sha) killed six people, the possibility of one person committing a crime (sex) is too small, and Xie Jindou and Peng The two people in Brilliance disappeared on the same day, it is very likely that they made an appointment. One person (kill sha) killed two people, and there is a great chance that it is not possible. Then there is the difference in (kill sha) man's methods. Peng Huachen was fatally stabbed, but Feng Tianhao was thrown on the highway. According to the forensic report, Feng Tianhao's body should be the first layer of snow that fell after the snow began to be thrown on the highway, so The first car that had run past couldn't see him at all. The road between Fengyang High School and the expressway was very long. It took at least an hour to drive. If a car drove back, there would be no trace on the school side ... "
Everyone has their own ideas, especially in the way of committing crimes. It's too strange. It's really strange.
"I think so too, Shao team. I also think that the killer had a female (sex). Xie Jindou and Peng Huachen asked their parents for the data fee on the same day, which adds up to a total of 3,500 yuan. So who did they go to see? Why did they take the money? If they did participate in campus bullying, then the money should be given to the victim or the victim ’s family, so the person who saw them was most likely a woman ( (Xing), because he was unable to act on two fast-growing lads, he chose to use sleeping pills to make them lose their combat power. In this case, it is easier to commit crimes. "
Another police officer also offered his own meaning. Looking down at the case given by the forensic doctor, when writing the weapon, it showed that the dagger was very sharp, and the marks left at the knife edge were very slippery. It can be said that it was easy. According to the depth of the human body, it is actually possible to infer the murderer's arm strength, but this is abnormal and cannot be believed.
In earlier years, the murderer's arm strength and wound depth could roughly determine the murderer's male and female, but modern society has gradually changed, and female (sexual) physical strength has even surpassed that of male (sexual), so this can not be used to Determine the murderer's sex.
But even so, the behavior of the sleeping pills made the police think that the case was a female (sexual) crime, and then there should be a male (sexual) crime.
"Yes, the death of these two people is relatively rough, and it gives people a sense of urgency. It seems that they hate to get vented, but just kill the two boys. Then I have a guess. If it is on campus This kind of bullying may happen, so the two boys did not hurt the victims so much, that is ... the two girls suffered more painful injuries. "
It was a female police officer who had seen the forensic file before. The internal body of the Yeti was female (sex), her body was cut off, her head and limbs were no longer there, and only the inside was left. There is no trace of being violated, but using such a person as the internal structure of the snowman, intentionally naked / (exposed) with a sense of shame.
This ... is like malicious revenge, it is the kind of revenge that involves some kind of 昧 ai.
Shao Yang nodded. From these materials alone, there is too much news to be seen, but Xie Jindou and Peng Huachen ’s (dead si) death has already been clues. The intelligence department is investigating, but Feng Tianhao is strange. .
His (dead si) way of death is like the ancients treating enemies with frustration, deliberately placing Feng Tianhao's head on the snowman, and then destroying Feng Tianhao's body and letting the body be crushed by various vehicles. It seems even more strange ...
Feng Tianhao's (death) death was really like the psychological delay of the Feng family husband and wife. After the police notified the husband and wife, the husband passed out and was taken to the hospital.
"Then let me talk about my views!" Xing Yuanxin also spoke at this moment, sorting out the things at hand.
"First of all, let's talk about the first deceased. The first deceased Feng Tianhao was sixteen years old. He just entered high school this year. He is a good student in the minds of teachers and parents. He has not offended others. Campus bullying is still uncertain. He The cause of death (death si) could not be verified because of the broken body, but his head was left, and the body was thrown on the highway to be crushed. This represents the extreme hatred of the murderer. He hates Feng Tianhao, but rather hates Feng People in the family, using this method to psychologically delay the Feng family, should be the murderers of the Feng family, but they do not know it. "
"Then the two deceased Xie Jindou and Peng Huachen, who have more clues, the bodies have been found, and the cause of the death is also clear. Their death method is very scribbled, proving the murderer They are not very confident in the crime. The death of the two of them is likely to be the second or third murder. According to the chat records of the two and some information, it can be inferred that Xie Jindou and Peng Huachen had one. A small group of four. They seem to be engaged in activities that involve campus bullying, which may hurt the relatives of the killer and cause the killer to start the murder. According to my speculation, the first and second dead should be in their small group. The other two women (sex). "
"I think we should quickly investigate the results of this case, otherwise I guess there should still be someone who will be killed by the killer (sha). Snowman is just the beginning."
That's right, this is Xing Yuanxin's idea. Any murder (sha-sha) case is not perfect in the beginning, just like a serial (sha-sha) hand. Their initial case always scratches with a little bit of scrawl. Over time, as the killer progresses, it becomes more perfect, so that the police can't even find any evidence. If there is no wrong guess, as long as the case is not broken, the killer will continue to arrogantly (kill) .
Shao Yang nodded, agreeing with Xing Yuanxin's statement.
Xiao Qingrong also spoke.
"The Ministry of Intelligence has started investigating the camera records retrieved from the Internet cafes. In addition, the Ministry of Technology has started to restore the chat records of Xie Jindou and Peng Huachen and the investigation of the account of Xie Jindou's girlfriend. I have called the school Investigated that Anyang High School is a learning-oriented high school, and there are very few cases of school (violent bao) force, and there have not been any incidents about campus (violent bao) force in these three years, and there has been no harm. People drop out of school, and there are no other cases. "
These tunes look simple, but they reveal more information.
Xing Yuanxin frowned, and seemed to be thinking about something.
"The target price of the investigation will continue to be expanded to the information of the missing girls who were reported to the police last month, mainly to investigate the cases of missing police who are 16 to 18 years old."
Shao Yang explained that although the snowman was born in Anyang High School, it is not necessarily that Xie Jindou's girlfriend is in Anyang High School. Now that the Internet is so developed, everyone can just fall in love with a mobile phone. It is also normal to cross the school. Maybe two Man's girlfriend is from another high school.
Xing Yuanxin also realized this, and a flash of light flashed in his mind.
"I remember it! The owner of the Internet cafe told me that the two girls would come to pack night in advance each time, and then waited for Peng Huachen and Xie Jindou, so these two girls may not be students of Fengyang High School at all, or even It could be a girl in society ... "
Such important information was missed, and Xing Yuanxin felt only a bit ashamed. If he remembered it from the beginning, the direction of the investigation would be clearer ...
"Well, first investigate the case of the disappearance of the girl. According to this situation, if the killer wants to make a big news, he will definitely take some action. The remaining body will probably be handled by the killer. Everyone must arrive at the scene as soon as possible. , Conceal the situation on the scene. "
Thinking of the snowman who was almost searched before, this matter was suppressed by the director. Such a case that threatens social security is absolutely impossible to let the public know, and it is easy to cause social sao m.
"Qing Rong, don't you know how to use a computer? Can you help the technical department restore it?"
Xing Yuanxin is talking about those online social accounts, as long as the information on this online social account is clear, then the identity of the two girls can be determined soon.
"Yep."
Xiao Qingrong nodded, and then went to the technical department with Xing Yuanxin. He didn't take the initiative to help before because of the system's problems. Each policeman has his own affairs. If he wants to do other things, he needs to report. After approval, In order to do it, the people above are not active, and Xiao Qingrong is not active.
It is still snowing outside the window. This winter day is destined to be unforgettable. It is clear that Christmas has just passed, but now everyone is facing such a difficult case, making such romantic snowflakes a bit dull.
The lights were bright inside the police station, and everyone was busy, and in a small room, someone came back in the snow.
"Come back, I'll go down to you and eat something warm."
The woman stood up, her body was a little fat, but she acted very fast. She went to the kitchen and took out a bowl of noodles from the inside. She also put two eggs on it, and she looked very appetizing. .
The man sat down, picked up the chopsticks, and ate it silently. The woman sat in front of the man, watching the man finish eating a bowl of noodles, the snowflakes on his head had all dissipated, and the room became warm again.
"Has my son eaten yet?"
Hearing this, the woman's face then (shown) a smile, very happy, nodded.
"I ate it, he, now I am accompanied by someone I like, but I am happy, and I have eaten all my food today."
The man's expression was a little stunned, and then he continued to say.
"He likes it. I have such a son in my life. I like to get him whatever he likes."
The couple talked about their son and seemed to be more happy. The air in this room had a smell of disinfection water, but the two seemed to smell the same. After eating, the couple went Look at the son.
It was another morning, and the cleaners wore thick clothes early and started to work. The blizzard of yesterday lasted a whole day, and it also lasted a few hours at night. In the morning, the snow-laden tree was low. On the road, snow and traces of cars passing by on the road, the black (color) ice was stuck to the ground.
The cleaners holding the shovel in the snow shovel worked this day's work. There was no way in the morning, and the industrial salt convoy could not come out. They could only wait until nine o'clock, and their cleaners would go to work at six, except to handle some roads. In addition to the ice on the ice, that is to get a trash can.
This cleaner in his sixties is riding a car, and there is a large yellow (color) trash can on it. All the garbage will be put in it. Since the city began to separate garbage, every cleaner The garbage that needs to be cleaned is different. What the cleaner needs to deal with is non-recyclable garbage.
He opened a trash can on the side of the road. He was familiar with tongs to grab the garbage. There was no way. There were all kinds of things in the non-recyclable garbage. In order to prevent injury to the hands, they usually wear gloves and then held them. Use pliers to prevent yourself from being injured.
After picking up some wet with pliers, I found a black (color) bag inside. This bag is an excellent kind of black (color) bag, which is usually used to hold cigarettes and (meat). After taking it out, the cleaner froze a bit, carrying it quite heavy, somehow had a strange curiosity, the cleaner put this thing on the trash can, and then reached out to unlock the black (color) nerd .
As a result, after the black (color) bag was opened, the cleaner saw something frightened, because there were all kinds of pieces (meat rou) inside, and it looked quite fresh, tender and tender, so good ( Meat rou), why was it thrown out?
The cleaner frowned, but didn't plan to eat it himself, thinking about taking these (meat rou) to feed the stray cats he raised, so thinking, he re-attached the black (color) bag , And then set aside the car.
In this city, in order to maintain the cleanliness of the city, in fact, each street has its own cleaners. At 6:30 in the morning, some cleaners found black (color) plastic bags while cleaning. After unpacking, Sitting directly on the ground in shock, because it turned out to be a human body. Although it was cut into many pieces, it was also recognizable!
Scared the cleaners to call the police!
The Fengyang County Public Security Bureau immediately received the report and made an emergency call. By seven o'clock in the morning, they had harvested several packages of meat (rou), and they first discovered that the cleaner was just resting. , Going to feed the cat.
Thinking that today these little guys have (meat rou) to eat, the old man is very happy. After he got to the place and meowed a few times, stray cats came out and the cat was holding the old man's legs. These cat cleaners have been feeding for a long time. Be close to him.
With a smile on his face, the old man once again opened the black (color) bag, thinking of pouring these (meat rou) out for the wildcats to eat. As a result, when he opened it, he saw the half finger inside and was frightened directly. The black (color) bag in the old man's hand fell to the ground.
His face was full of fear and horror, and then he took the elderly machine and started to call the police.
The legs were shaking, and the old man saw these cats. There was less fear in his heart. He almost shook his hands and rebuilt the bag. Then he threw cat food to his stray cats and watched the cats eat happily. The fear in his heart gradually reduced.
The police came over and asked a few questions, and learned that these black (color) plastic bags were picked out of the trash can, which was even more tense. After finishing the transcript, they took things back.
Fortunately, it is the early work of the cleaners. Otherwise, if this thing is in a crowded place, it will really scare the person! Is really scared to death!
At that time, it is estimated that the city will be full of wind and rain, and you cannot hide it if you want to hide it.
At the same time, in the police station, after Xiao Qingrong's hacking technology, he has investigated who his girlfriend is with Xie Jindou.
The account I was chatting with Xie Jindou, named Ai Yuke, was 17 years old. I did n’t really go to Fengyang High School. I went to another high school, which is a half-hour drive from Fengyang High School. It ’s worth noting. Yes, Ai Yuke has been missing for more than a month.
There is a record of Ai Yuke's parents in the police station, but it is not in the Public Security Bureau of Fengyang County, but in Lin County. Therefore, the investigation was also conducted there. The police are still looking for the whereabouts of Ai Yuke.
In addition, through the account of Ai Yuke to restore the previous chat history, the police identified the identity of another girl named Qiu Jiaqi, 18 years old, born in an orphanage, and she looks very beautiful. Forget about this kind of place. After 15 years of age, she will not return to the orphanage. All day long with the society, so no one found after the disappearance, no one called the police, but thought that she had gone again. local.
Simultaneously restored, there are previous chat records of four people.
In the chat record of the four people, they played a game of fairy jumping, presented by the beautiful Qiu Jiaqi, (gou) cited a young child, and then took a photo of the boy to ask the boy for money, Even playing with that boy, he later dropped out of school, and then he didn't know what happened.
The four people were obviously very alert and afraid that what they said would be seen, so they used toys to replace the bullied child, and they said very little information. They never said who the child was and how old he was. I only know that the picture was taken, and never uploaded to the Internet. It seems to be stored in the phone to threaten the child.
After reading these records, the people in the police station simply did not know what to say. If they knew that it was just a game, it would be enough to kill all their names. Would they still play this so-called game?
"Investigate immediately the boys who transferred and dropped out of several high schools in Fengyang County in May this year, all the information required !!"
When things get here, everything seems to be coming to an end. As long as we continue to investigate, the truth will emerge sooner or later.
And Zheng Forensic was also aggressive. Looking at the
things
sent from the outside, he took his assistant and re-sorted and picked, and found that the contents of these black (color) bags were a boy. , So that Zheng Forensic Doctor only felt creepy.
How much hatred would it take to cut the victim out in this way?
At the police station, everyone was busy, trying to solve the case as soon as possible, and at eight o'clock in the morning, a man cried and reported the case.
The man's name is Xue Ren. He said that he went to work after eating in the morning, and when he was going to ride his battery car, he opened the snow cover on his battery car. As a result, he saw the head of his son and scared Xue directly. Ren Ren fell to the ground, then called the family members, Xue Ren calmed down and called the police.
The police quickly came to the police, took the skull back to the police station, performed a DNA identification, and determined that the skull's master Xue Wen was also a victim of the Yeti case. His right leg was intact and was inside the Yeti.
More painful things (fa) happened. When Zheng Forensician performed the corpse assembly and suture, he did a DNA test of these corpses obtained in the morning, and found that these things were Xue Wen's.
In other words, Xue Wen is the same as the first deceased Feng Tianhao. Except for the skull, the corpse is all broken, but Xue Wen is better, at least one leg is added.
Sitting in front of his family who was almost crying again, Xiao Qingrong had seen the latest forensic report.
"Did you and your husband offend someone?"
Now the case is almost clear. Xie Jindou, Peng Huachen, and the two girls are involved in school bullying. They may have been the victims in the first place. The causes of death of Feng Tianhao and Xue Wen (death si) are likely to follow. The murderer has resentment. After the murderer started the four people, he could not stop his (killing) heart, and then continued to commit the crime.
If the investigation fails to find out who Feng Tianhao and Xue Wen's parents offended, then the murderer will most likely continue the crime, or use such a brutal tactic.
He wants these enemies to be dead!
