Chapter 234 1
At four o'clock in the morning, the phone rang inside the house.
Qiu Shaoyang nestled in Ming Tang's arms with his pillow on Ming Tang's arms, sleeping soundly.
Mingtang was woken up by the phone, he touched the phone and held it in front of his eyes to see that it was Lu Changfeng calling.
The call at night must be related to a case, Mingtang answered the call without any hesitation.
As soon as the phone call was made, Lu Changfeng said succinctly: "There is a case in Yongchuan District, a headless female corpse."
Their serious crime brigade is responsible for serious, important and homicide cases in the entire Spring City, but generally speaking, they are mainly responsible for cases in the Phoenix community, and the criminal investigation teams in other districts are responsible for cases in other districts.
There is only one possibility for this kind of cross-district handling of the case, that is, the case is not as simple as a headless female corpse.
Mingtang asked: "Any other circumstances?"
Lu Changfeng said: "A week ago, there was also a female corpse with no arms. The murderer has not been found so far. The modus operandi of the two cases is highly similar, so preliminarily it is the same murderer."
"Serial murder." Ming Tang said, "Understood, I'll hurry back."
Lu Changfeng: "I'll send the location to your phone."
Mingtang hummed and hung up the phone.
Qiu Shaoyang had already woken up and asked, "New case?"
Mingtang: "Serial murder."
Qiu Shaoyang yawned, but he was still very sleepy.
Mingtang lowered his head and kissed Qiu Shaoyang's forehead, "Go ahead and sleep, I'll go back."
"I'm with you." Qiu Shaoyang said, "Maybe I can help."
"You can stay at my house for the New Year, and be with your parents." Mingtang also didn't want Qiu Shaoyang to go back overnight with him and suffer.
Qiu Shaoyang: "I will worry about you if you stay at home, why don't you let me go back together, parents can understand."
Mingtang thought for a while, but agreed: "Then you change your clothes, and I'll go talk to my parents."
Qiu Shaoyang: "Go."
Ming Tang put on his clothes and knocked on the doors of Chen Wan and Ming Yao's rooms.
Ming Tang decided to knock on the door to inform them if he didn't say bad things to his family when he went out in the middle of the night, so as not to worry the two old people at that time.
Chen Wan was awakened by the knock on the door, and came to open the door.
Seeing Mingtang standing at the door, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Mingtang said: "Shaoyang and I went back to Spring City overnight, there is a case."
Chen Wan had been looking forward to the two of them for a whole year and finally hoped for the two of them to go home. It turned out to be a good thing. She arrived home the afternoon before and returned to Spring City in the early morning of the next day. will understand them.
Chen Wan glanced at the clock in the living room, it was only 03:30 in the morning, and said, "I'll cook a bowl of noodles for you, eat it before leaving, there's no rush."
Mingtang said: "Don't be so troublesome, I just want to tell you, don't worry about it, you and Dad can continue to sleep, and Shaoyang and I will leave after cleaning up."
Chen Wan hesitated to speak.
Qiu Shaoyang came out of the room and was about to go to the bathroom to wash up. He came to them and said, "Then work hard and help us get something to eat."
Only then did Chen Wan become happy: "Okay, I'll do it now."
Qiu Shaoyang pulled Mingtang to the bathroom, and said to Chen Wan: "Mom, let's go wash up first."
After entering the bathroom, Qiu Shaoyang said: "We just came back last night, and we have to leave before dawn today. Mom wants to cook us a meal, but if you don't let me, Mom will be unhappy. It doesn't matter if you have breakfast, it won't take a few minutes It’s time. After all, it’s the first meal of the New Year, and Mom definitely wants us to eat it at home.”
Mingtang: "I didn't think about it so much, I was just afraid of delaying her rest time."
Qiu Shaoyang said: "I know you don't want to delay Mom's rest time too much, but Mom doesn't think so. She wants us well. We can't come back a few times a year, so let's follow Mom's wishes."
Qiu Shaoyang helped Mingtang squeeze the toothpaste, "Hurry up and wash up."
Mingtang took the toothpaste and wrapped his arms around Qiu Shaoyang's waist.
After the two finished packing, it was already 5 minutes later.
There are fried eggs on the table.
Chen Wan said: "Hurry up with the eggs, eat them first, and the noodles will be ready in no time."
Qiu Shaoyang: "Thank you, Mom."
Ming Tang also came: "Thank you, Mom."
Chen Wan smiled at him, then went into the kitchen to cook noodles for them.
After Qiu Shaoyang finished eating the eggs, he quickly went to the room to pack his clothes. When he came back, he and Ming Tang brought a box to pack the clothes. Originally, they planned to stay at home for a longer period of time so that they could spend more time with their parents. Unexpectedly, in the end, they became This is now.
Fortunately, the clothes were not messed up much, so it was fine to put them in.
When he came out of the room again, the noodles were already on the table.
Chen Wan went to get a bag and packed some snacks for them: "Eat on the way when you're hungry."
"it is good."
At four o'clock, Qiu Shaoyang and Mingtang went out together.
Chen Wan and Mingyao sent them downstairs.
Before leaving, Qiu Shaoyang hugged Chen Wan and Mingyao: "Mom and Dad, we'll be back when the case is handled smoothly."
Chen Wan was a little bit reluctant: "Then you two pay more attention to your body outside, and you should combine work and rest when handling the case."
Mingtang drove the car out of the parking space and parked in front of them, Qiu Shaoyang opened the door to get in the car.
"Mom and Dad, let's go, you go back and rest."
Chen Wan: "Be careful on the road."
Mingyao waved goodbye to them.
After Qiu Shaoyang sat down firmly, Mingtang drove away.
Qiu Shaoyang said: "When your parents are still there, don't get close to them, and be careful not to wait for your son to support you in the future."
Seeing Qiu Shaoyang's reluctance with his parents today, Mingtang was deeply touched: "I will come back often in the future."
Qiu Shaoyang nodded.
At 05:30, the two arrived at the place sent to them by Lu Changfeng.
A riverside on the edge of Yongchuan City.
It is the largest river in Spring City.
The body was found under a bridge pier by the river.
When they arrived, people from the Yongchuan Criminal Investigation Detachment had already transported the body away.
Xia Jie, the captain of the First Criminal Investigation Team of the Yongchuan Detachment, is still there.
Mingtang and Qiu Shaoyang went down the path to the bottom of the bridge. The bottom of the bridge was much colder than the top, and lighting equipment was set up on site.
At the bottom of the bridge is a river beach, full of stones of various sizes.
Lu Changfeng saw them and waved to them.
Qiu Shaoyang and Mingtang walked towards them.
Lu Changfeng was standing with Xia Jie: "This is Xia Jie, the captain of the first criminal investigation team in Yongchuan District. Mingtang, the captain of our serious crime brigade."
He mainly introduced Qiu Shaoyang: "The criminal investigation consultant hired by our city bureau, Qiu Shaoyang."
This time, the two sides jointly handled the case.
After greeting him politely, Lu Changfeng said: "Captain Xia, please tell me more about the case."
Xia Jie nodded, and then said: "The reporter is a passing driver. He came here to go to the toilet and flashlighted. He came down from the place where you just came down and stood on the slope. He thought the distance of the flashlight was limited. The deceased had no head, so he mistakenly thought it was a model, so he didn’t pay much attention to it. When he went to the bathroom, he looked at it like this model, and it felt very realistic. He thought it was a blow-up doll, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong. After going to the toilet, he left I went in to see the specific situation, but I didn’t expect to see a headless female corpse, so scared that he immediately called the police.”
"He called the police at 170:175, and we arrived at the scene at 29:30 sharp. Due to the complicated situation at the scene, we had to set up lighting equipment first, and the forensic medical examination has come to see it. This is only the scene of the body dumping. According to the forensic doctor, the height of the deceased should be between [-] and [-], and the time of death was about one day, that is, between the night of the [-]th and the early morning of the [-]th. There were no resistance scars on the body surface, and the cut surface of the head was relatively smooth and flat. The wound on the cut surface showed a living reaction, and it should be that a large cutting machine was used to cut off the head of the deceased. No clothing of the deceased was found at the scene, and because the situation at the scene was too complicated, no useful traces could be extracted."
Physiological responses meant that the dead were alive when they were dismembered.
Mingtang asked: "What was the situation of the case a week ago?"
Xia Jie said: "The identity of the deceased a week ago has now been found out. His name is Yu Qiantong. The incisions on his arms are also smooth and smooth, and he also has life reactions. According to preliminary inferences, it should be cut with the same sharp weapon. Yu Qiantong is a She is a hand model, she has a pair of very beautiful hands, and she has photographed many jewelry advertisements."
"Is the cause of death excessive blood loss?" Ming Tang asked.
Xia Jie nodded: "That's right, both arms were severed, he lost a lot of blood, and then his body was thrown in a bush by the river more than one kilometer away from here."
Ming Tang said: "It seems that this murderer is not afraid of us finding him at all."
Qiu Shaoyang said: "It's true that I'm not afraid. Presumably this headless female corpse should be very beautiful. What he took away was the part he thought was beautiful."
Xia Jie asked: "How can you judge? You haven't seen the body of the headless dead yet."
Qiu Shaoyang said: "The first deceased was a hand model, so her hands must be extraordinarily beautiful. No. 2 is probably also a model, which can be judged based on her height. The first deceased was just taken away. It shows that the murderer cut off the victim's head not to hide his identity. Judging from this, the greatest possibility is that the headless female deceased was extremely beautiful."
"There is a very famous case abroad, which is to take away the most beautiful parts of everyone, and then splice them into a complete human form, the most perfect person in the eyes of the murderer."
Xia Jie said: "Do you suspect that the murderer also wants to do this?"
Qiu Shaoyang nodded: "I think so."
Qiu Shaoyang explained: "If she just wants a pair of beautiful hands, there is no need to cut off the arms. According to the murderer's cutting method, what is missing is the torso and legs if she wants to be a human. This means, There are at least two more victims."
Mingtang followed this line of thought and continued: "Does that mean that we can look for all the models in Spring City, the torso should be body painting models, or underwear models, etc. The legs should be leg models or foot models. "
Xia Jie said: "I'll contact people to investigate, the missing persons recently, and all the models in Spring City involved in these two aspects."
"Throw far away and bury near." Now it's pitch black everywhere, only the place where they are is relatively bright. "Throwing the body in such a place so boldly shows that the murderer is not worried that our police will find him. In other words He said that he was sure that our police could not find him. Otherwise, the distance between the first dump and the second dump would not be only one kilometer."
Lu Changfeng continued: "This is indeed a bit of a headache. The direction of Yongchuan District is in the suburbs. There is not much traffic in itself. It is connected to nearby villages and towns. The bridge above the head has a lot of traffic. There are no other places nearby. Surveillance equipment coverage."
"Isn't that a natural place to dump corpses?" Qiu Shaoyang said.
Lu Changfeng nodded: "I think the murderer must be very familiar with the surrounding environment, otherwise he wouldn't be so bold. If the murderer commits a premeditated crime, the murderer will definitely find out the location repeatedly, otherwise he would not dare to do such a thing."
That's true.
After all, there are many places where surveillance cameras can be seen everywhere, and a premeditated murderer is not so stupid as to throw the body within the surveillance range, which is undoubtedly telling the police that you are coming to arrest me.
Now that the overall knowledge level is improving, the criminal level of criminals is also improving.
Xia Jie said: "The people who usually come to this river are some fishermen. Anyway, no one collects money for the fish in this river, so it is the favorite place for fishermen. Besides, there are some sketches and photography. The teacher prefers to come."
"The first case was discovered by the fisherman and then reported it." Xia Jie sighed: "But the situation at the scene was too complicated, and the murderer did it too cleanly, so no useful clues were left behind. "
"Through tracing the social relationship of the deceased, it was not found that the deceased had any feud with others, and the mobile phone of the deceased has not been found yet."
Mingtang asked: "How did the deceased disappear, and no one knows?"
Xia Jie nodded: "The deceased didn't have many friends in this city. Her parents opened a homestay in Lishi, and she didn't sign a contract with a brokerage company. She basically took jobs."
"Is there no social circle?" Qiu Shaoyang asked.
Xia Jie: "Her friends are also models in the industry. There won't be any jobs to pick up at the end of the year. Everyone has gone home for the New Year, so no friends know how she is doing."
Qiu Shaoyang: "Isn't the date of disappearance confirmed?"
Xia Yujie shook his head: "The first deceased, Yu Qiantong, was like an invisible person. In this city, she didn't fall in love, and she didn't have a particularly good friend, and I didn't find her in the bars she frequented. figure."
"What about the surveillance near where she lives? Has there been any investigation?"
Xia Jie: "Investigated, but found nothing. She rented an apartment with one bedroom and one living room. Unfortunately, there was a problem with the monitoring computer in their apartment. Although there was a display, there was no recording, so the monitoring in the apartment could not be found. "
Mingtang asked: "There is no surveillance around the apartment?"
Xia Jie: "There is no sign of her in the surveillance, so it is very likely that she left directly from the door of the apartment. She has no vehicle registration under her name, and as far as we know, she does not drive when she comes in and out. The person who picked her up that night , should be the murderer, but we are not sure when she disappeared, so we cannot check the passing vehicles one by one."
So this is the fundamental reason why they have only grasped the most basic information after a week has passed.
It means that it is very difficult to find a breakthrough from Yu Qiantong's body. We can only hope for this headless female corpse and see if we can find useful information from her whereabouts.
There were no useful clues at the scene by the river either.
Xia Jie said: "It's better to go back to the bureau and see if the forensic autopsy can give any results."
Everyone returned to the Yongchuan branch together.
Yongchuan District and Fenghuang District are diagonally adjacent to Yueshan District and Gudu District, not Fenghuang District at all.
Mingtang and the others rarely cooperate with Yongchuan District to handle cases.
Yongchuan District can be regarded as the most stable district in Spring City.
This is mainly a residential area, and Yueshan District, Gudu District, and Fenghuang District are all places where tourism is the mainstay.
Compared with the other three districts, Yongchuan District has a relatively large floating population. The ecology here is better. Some technical secondary schools, junior colleges, and universities are basically located in this district, and the comprehensive education level is better here.
Therefore, many parents will buy their houses in Yongchuan District to facilitate their children's education in the future.
This time, they jointly handled the case with the Yongchuan branch, so Mingtang and Xia Jie's team shared the same office, and the conference room was used as Mingtang's temporary office area.
Mingtang said: "Can you take us to the forensic room to see the corpse?"
Xia Jie: "Of course, you can follow me."
The Yongchuan branch is not as big as the city bureau, and their forensic room is on the second basement.
Qiu Shaoyang, Ming Tang, and Lu Changfeng followed Xia Jie to the forensic room.
The forensic doctor was doing an autopsy, so they waited outside for a while.
After the forensic autopsy was over, Xia Jie introduced them: "This is the forensic doctor of our branch, Tang Jiamin."
They also introduced Mingtang and the others to Tang Jiamin.
Tang Jiamin pushed open the door of the forensic room, took them to the dissection table, and said: "The deceased still had red wine in his stomach, and the rest were pretty much the same as my initial inference. The No. 1 deceased, Yu Qiantong, found Apu in his body." Zolam also has red wine, so the two people should be murdered in the same way, after drinking red wine containing alprazolam and falling into a coma, their heads were cut off."
Qiu Shaoyang said, "Sleeping pills."
Tang Jiamin nodded: "Yes, taking a large amount of this sleeping pill will cause people to fall into a deep coma. The two deceased should have been dismembered in this state, and then died due to excessive blood loss."
Qiu Shaoyang asked Xia Jie: "Have you ever tried to trace the murderer through drug channels? It is a prescription drug in China, and you cannot buy it through formal channels."
Xia Jie: "I checked, but found nothing. After all, there are many people who use this kind of drugs. It is difficult to pinpoint the murderer through these people. This is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack."
This way is also unworkable, so Qiu Shaoyang has no other way to do it.
Back in the meeting room, people on both sides sat down and prepared to hold a case analysis meeting.
Judging from the information currently available, there is very little, so the only way to take the next step is to wait for the identity information of the deceased to be confirmed.
Fortunately, the comparison and analysis of fingerprints yielded results.
As Qiu Shaoyang guessed, the headless female corpse was very beautiful.
The name of the deceased was An Xinyue, 174 cm tall, a native of Spring City, and a clothing model, mainly helping some clothing platforms to shoot some advertisements or picture albums, and occasionally accepting some advertisements for makeup.
Yesterday afternoon her family reported to the police that she was missing, but the case could not be filed because the missing time was less than 48 hours.
According to the description of the family of the deceased, An Xinyue went out that night and never came back from home, and the phone was turned off when she contacted her later.
Her friends said they had never seen her, so the family members went to the police station to call the police.
Xia Jie sent someone to notify the family of the deceased.
