Chapter 18 Chapter Seventeen

After the meeting, Wang Gedong walked towards the forensic laboratory. Lin Jie trotted over and said, "Boss, everything has been arranged. According to your four yuan work, we will investigate immediately." Wang Gedong nodded: "Okay." Seeing that Lin Jie was still standing there, seemingly hesitating to speak, he asked, "What else can I do?" Lin Jie faltered and said: "Boss, the matter about Jiang Xiaobing's ears is indeed...it is indeed my fault." Wang Gedong patted him on the shoulder and said in relief: "I just mentioned it casually at the meeting just now, so you don't have to take it to heart. Every policeman will make mistakes. It's not terrible to make mistakes, just learn from experience and lessons in time. Don't worry. , I will not report this matter to the higher-ups, even if the higher-ups know about it, I will bear it and will not find out about you."

Lin Jie heaved a sigh of relief, he was really moved, and said, "Boss... I, I know, I will definitely learn more from you in the future to improve myself." "Okay, there's no need to say more polite words, you go to work, I'll be happy if the case is solved." After Lin Jie left, Wang Gedong stepped into the forensic laboratory, called forensic doctor Chen, and said, "Old Chen, did you find anything about the ear and the cardboard box?" Forensic Chen shook his head: "No, no fingerprints, DNA and other valid physical evidence can be extracted from it."

Wang Gedong pursed his lips and said, "Where is the source of the paper box?" "Ordinary cardboard, you can get it anywhere, maybe the kidnappers just took it from the trash can downstairs, there is nothing special about it." Wang Gedong thought about it, and said, "It seems that the kidnapper has some sense of anti-reconnaissance. But I feel a little strange, why did the kidnapper cut off Jiang Xiaobing's ear and cook it?" "The kidnapper must be psychopathic, with sadistic tendencies, and may have pica." "Pica?" Wang Gedong couldn't help but twitch his hairs, and said, "You mean the kidnapper has a habit of cannibalism?"

Forensic doctor Chen is not sure: "I said it is possible, but I can't be sure. Because there are not many cases where a certain part of the human body is cut off and boiled, I checked the domestic files in the past few years. This kind of case Most of the murderers often have pica, and their psychology is extremely abnormal, so I speculate like this." "How long had the ears been cooked when they were brought over?" "I looked at the ear after I got it, and it probably didn't exceed ten hours after it was cooked." "Oh, that is to say, the kidnappers boiled the ears, put them in cardboard boxes, and put them on Wangjiang Road?"

"Well, that's right." "It was cut with a knife, wasn't it bitten off?" Asking this question, Wang Gedong's scalp went numb for a while.But if it is really a perverted killer of pica, maybe it will really bite. Forensic Chen smiled awkwardly: "It was cut with a sharp weapon, the other party is not so perverted yet." Wang Gedong breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, thought for a while, and then said: "I think your guess that the kidnapper has pica is different from what I think in my heart." "Boss, what do you think?" Wang Gedong lit a cigarette and thought about it: "From the beginning of this case until now, the kidnapper who talked to us has always claimed to be a middleman and never let the hostage talk to us. Now that the ears have been cut off, I think the point is not The ears were cut off, but boiled."

"what do you mean?" "The ear is cooked, is it because the blood is coagulated? You can't tell whether Jiang Xiaobing was dead or alive when his ear was cut?" Forensic Chen suddenly came to his senses and said, "That's right, unless you've been dead for a long time, now it's winter, and the corpse is easy to preserve. If you cut off the ears from the corpse and boil them, the ears are all soft tissue and there's very little blood. After cooking, I can't judge Jiang Xiaobing's current life or death." Wang Gedong narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "The kidnapper claims to be a middleman, and Jiang Xiaobing is not with him. In the kidnapping cases I have been in contact with or heard of over the years, there has never been any middleman. He used this as an excuse to prevent Wang Liqin from going with Jiang. Xiaobing was on the phone. At that time, I vaguely guessed that Jiang Xiaobing might have been killed. At the same time, the kidnapper cut off his ears because some idiots in our team did not believe that Jiang Xiaobing was kidnapped. If the kidnapper wanted to prove it to Wang Liqin, Jiang Xiaobing did In their hands, the other party can simply cut off the ear, why boil it. Since the boiled ear cannot tell whether Jiang Xiaobing is dead or alive, I now have more reason to suspect that Jiang Xiaobing is dead."

Chen Fayi thought for a moment, and said, "But it doesn't make sense to say that Jiang Xiaobing is dead." "why?" "If Jiang Xiaobing is dead and the kidnappers want to continue to extort money, they should complete the transaction as soon as possible. The other party will definitely think that the longer the time delays, the easier it is for us to guess that Jiang Xiaobing has been killed, so we will not proceed with him. Transaction. But the other party gave us three days to solve the case, and then make a transaction three days later. This is not logical."

Wang Gedong hummed heavily, and said with a serious face: "This time the kidnapper's tone was very loud and arrogant. I feel that the other party has a lot of background. Now this kidnapping case is different from the previous ones from the beginning to the end, and the whole case is suspicious. It’s so heavy, it’s really difficult.”
