Chapter 3 Chapter two

The atmosphere in the conference room was tense. The entire team of the criminal investigation team of the county bureau plus all the leaders of the county bureau, including the leaders, experts, and criminal police from the province and city who came down early in the morning, gathered together. Sitting at one end of the table was a man of about forty years old, calm and relaxed, and at a glance he was the highest-ranking official here. His name is Gao Dong, and he is the Deputy Director of Criminal Investigation of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. He is a well-known criminal investigation expert in the province's public security system and has been commended by the Ministry of Public Security many times.His father-in-law is also the secretary of the Municipal Legal Committee and a member of the leadership team of the Standing Committee. It can be said that he is a person who requires ability, background, and connections.

The head of the procuratorate was murdered in front of his house with his throat slit. This is not an ordinary major case. This is an extremely serious criminal homicide reported to the Ministry of Public Security. Early in the morning, the province held a special meeting and set up a special case team. Finally, it was decided that the case should be handed over to Gao Dong, the deputy director of criminal investigation of the city. Changjiang Wei used to be Gao Dong's subordinate. It was easy for Gao Dong to supervise the handling of the case to coordinate and manage the local police resources. The third case was Gao Dong's strong background and extensive contacts. The handling of the case required the coordination of various units, and he was the best to come forward.

Gao Dong calmly listened to Jiang Wei's case introduction, and asked, "What's the latest progress in the county's forensic investigation today?" A 40-year-old forensic doctor sitting below reported: "We have been conducting physical evidence identification since last night. Up to now, only one murderer's footprints have been found at the scene. Judging from the grain of the shoe, it is a pair of leather shoes. Shoes The size is 40 yards. In addition to the footprint left by Dean Wang, several other footprints were found on the nearby concrete floor, but it is difficult to preserve footprints on the concrete floor, so our extraction and identification work is difficult. The forensic team of the bureau will conduct further analysis. The preliminary result is that the murderer is between 165 and 175 in height and weighs between 120 and 170 catties."

Gao Dong couldn't help frowning: "This range is too big." He cut his throat with a knife, and then kicked him two meters away. There is no doubt that the murderer was a man.However, the size 40 footprints of males are usually between 165 and 175 tall, so there is no forensic identification at all.The poor elasticity of the cement floor made it even more difficult to identify the murderer's weight. The forensic doctor said in embarrassment: "The range...is quite large, but although the footprint on the back is clear, it was kicked by the murderer's huge external force on Dean Wang's back. In this case, the actual height of the owner of the footprint can be judged. , Weight will be very difficult. And the elasticity of the cement floor is poor, and the work of identifying footprints will not be too optimistic."

"No footprints were found in the surrounding flower beds?" "No." Gao Dong pursed his lips: "What about the others, such as whether the murderer was also injured?" "No, it is certain that the murderer was not scratched by Dean Wang's last struggle, because all this happened too quickly. The action of cutting his throat and kicking out Dean Wang happened almost at the same time. We checked Dean Wang's Fingernails, and no suspicious skin and clothing fibrous tissue were found, indicating that there was no direct physical conflict between Dean Wang and the murderer."

"That is to say, apart from that footprint, the murderer didn't leave any evidence containing his DNA at the scene?" "yes." Gao Dong thought for a while, then asked again: "Has it been fully confirmed that the murder weapon is a dagger?" "Well, it's a long dagger, very sharp. Comrades from the city bureau's forensic team have also seen it. This conclusion is no problem." Jiang Wei added: "We conducted a blanket search inside and outside the Jinxing community and the surrounding roads, but no murder weapon was found." Gao Dong nodded: "It seems that the murderer took the murder weapon out of the scene after committing the crime."

He thought for a while and continued: "The only thing that is certain now is that this is a 100% premeditated vendetta. Because the people and the property in the car have not been touched. Moreover, the murderer attacked from behind, which shows that when Wang Baoguo returned home, the murderer He is squatting somewhere outside his house. It is obvious that the murderer came prepared, with a clear goal and a decisive attack. Moreover, the murderer chose last night. The community had a power outage last night, and there were no street lights, and surveillance was useless. Think about it, The murderer picked last night, is this a coincidence?"

Many people shook their heads. This case is obvious. If you dare to attack the Chief Procurator of the Procuratorate, the murderer must know the consequences. If the knife goes down, it will create a major case that will cause a sensation at the provincial, city and county level.Judging from the method of killing, the method is straightforward and neat, the murderer is also well prepared.It was obviously not a coincidence that the power went out on the night of the incident.Instead, the murderer deliberately took advantage of the power outage. Gao Dong continued: "The day before the incident, the electric power department put up notices in the surrounding areas, and the next night they needed line maintenance, and the power was cut off for one night. I heard that the Jinxing community is a high-end community in your county, and the security is not bad at ordinary times. It is a bit difficult to enter the community and cut throats and kill people at the gate of Wang Baoguo's own house. The murderer must have seized the opportunity of the power outage, and when all the surveillance cameras are closed, he took the opportunity to enter and kill people."

Jiang Wei nodded: "The security guards have already asked. Except for vehicles, pedestrians do not need to register when entering and leaving the community as long as they are not sloppy. In addition, due to the power outage last night, they only had a young security guard sitting in the security room on duty. At that time, the young security guard was playing with his mobile phone and did not notice any suspicious persons. I am afraid that the security guard will not be able to find any clues in the future." "Which area was the power outage last night?" "Most of the east side of the county seat."

"How big is this place?" "About five or six square kilometers." Gao Dong nodded: "This area is not small." He pondered for a moment, then asked, "Where are the power outage notices posted?" "There are signs posted on most streets and complexes within the power outage." "Are there many power outages in your county?" "Not much, just two or three times a year." Gao Dong nodded and analyzed: "According to the existing clues, we can be sure that this is a vendetta. Since it is a vendetta, it means that the murderer didn't just think about killing Wang Baoguo yesterday, he must have done it before then." I had the idea of ​​killing Wang Baoguo. And the timing of the attack was last night when the power went out, which is not a coincidence. The murderer had a motive early in the morning, and the opportunity of the power outage prompted him to do it. Then we should think about how the murderer knew Will there be a power outage last night?"

Gao Dong paused, then continued: "The murderer knew about the power outage, there are three possibilities. One is that the murderer happened to pass by and saw the notice. The second is that the murderer also lives within the town's east area. The third is that this is a hired murderer. case, the enemy lives in the east of the town, and after seeing the news, inform the murderer to start." Speaking of this, Gao Dong gave the task force a current investigation direction: "For this case, we have three steps to do. The first and most important point is to thoroughly investigate Wang Baoguo's interpersonal situation, Who has a grudge against him, and the grudge is so big that he dares to kill. Second, conduct a large-scale investigation and visit in the area around the Jinxing community to find out whether there are any witnesses who saw the suspicious person that night. Third, the forensic team of the city bureau took over the physical evidence Follow-up investigation work to see if there are any new discoveries. Is there anything else to add? If not, move immediately. Although it is a power outage and it is winter, it is not too late after eight o'clock. People have seen him." After finishing speaking, he thought for a while, and added: "By the way, everyone noticed the murder method, cut the throat with a knife in the back, and then kicked. This kind of thing is not something that most people can do. First of all, you must have a good reputation." The psychological quality and endurance, and secondly, a certain degree of agility. Wang Baoguo's interpersonal investigation, especially pay attention to whether anyone has done work like a scout."
