Chapter 11 The tenth case: the ghost at the rear of the car

Heimi's face was pale, and her mind was blank. She subconsciously took two steps back and fell down on the asphalt road. "Call the police, girl, you have run over someone." The man said sympathetically. Heimi loves her job, because the title of "Famous Anchor" gives her a great sense of accomplishment.She likes to be an entertainment anchor. For example, the "Hip-Hop Couple" hosted by her and Amu is her favorite program.However, since she is the "famous anchor" in the station, it is impossible for the director to let her host only one show, so the emotional show late at night was also handed over to Heimi.

For Heimi, from ten to twelve o'clock every night, it is enough to keep answering hotline calls and gently and patiently persuading her.The most terrible thing is that without the time in the afternoon and evening, there is no time to fall in love. Heimi has gradually become what others call an older single young woman.Whenever I think of this, the sense of accomplishment brought by work disappears instantly. In order to expand, the radio station has enclosed a piece of land in a remote new area of ​​the city.The environment of the new building has not improved much, but it has increased the distance for employees to go to work.Although Heimi rented a house in the neighborhood closest to Taili, and lived not too far away, it was still impossible to walk home from this distance.In order not to have to stand shivering in the middle of the night every day looking for a taxi on a remote side of the road, Heimi spent all her savings to buy a car, and drove to and from get off work with her crappy skills.

In early July, the weather was already very hot.On summer nights, everyone happily hid in their air-conditioned room to escape the heat, while Heimi ran into the gloomy underground garage with fear, jumped into the car, closed the door, pressed the central door lock, and drove to work. .This has also become Heimi's daily routine. She is timid and always worried about meeting strange things in the underground garage. The new radio station is located in a corner of the New District of Longpan City. Although there are many new parks and roads here, the supporting facilities such as street lights are not yet in place.

On the way to and from get off work, the dark road from Taili to the center of the new district always made Heimi nervous.There was no car on the road, so she turned on the horsepower and wanted to drive out from here as soon as possible.At a bend, Heimi suddenly felt a dark shadow flashing on the side of the car, she closed her eyes in fright and let out a cry.I don't know if it's a curb, or it's just a hallucination, Heimi felt that the car body was bumped, and then it stabilized quickly.When she opened her eyes again, she didn't hit anything. "I must be too nervous, too worried." Heimi stopped the car and observed the side of the car and the road behind from the rearview mirror. There was nothing suspicious.Just in case, Heimi moved the car forward for a while, and looked in the rearview mirror again.The brake lights illuminated the road behind, and there was nothing unusual.

Finally heaving a sigh of relief, Heimi stepped on the accelerator and drove towards his own community. When we arrived at the gate of the community, the scene on the side of the road completely changed.There are a series of food stalls near the community, and this is another season for eating crayfish, so even though it is approaching one o'clock at night, the "lobster street" at the gate of the community is still bustling with people. After driving here, Heimi felt a little relieved. But soon, Heimi discovered something unusual. People who were eating food stalls looked in her direction one after another, some pointed and some even showed terrified expressions.Heimi slowed down the car, looked around the car, there was nothing wrong with it, and she was the only car nearby, what's the matter?

At the food stall, several strong men got up and left their seats, and ran towards Heimi. Heimi looked bewildered and stopped the car. "Girl, come down and have a look." One of them knocked on Heimi's car window and said hastily. Heimi looked around, many people were far away, looking in her direction. "With so many people, he probably wouldn't do anything to me. But what happened today?" Heimi hesitantly opened the door and got out of the car. Several other strong men were squatting at the back of her car and talking nervously. Heimi circled behind the car, and several strong men automatically moved away to the sides, looking at her sympathetically.

Looking at it this way, he almost didn't scare Heimi to death.At the rear of her car, there were actually two human legs sticking out!Apparently, the person's upper body was under her car.The edges of the fragments of jeans attached to the two human legs were scorched black. The human legs were dragged softly behind the rear of the car, and the side where they touched the ground was already bloody.As he approached, he seemed to be able to smell the smell of burnt meat.The smell mixed with this bloody scene is disgusting. Heimi's face was pale, and her mind was blank. She subconsciously took two steps back and fell down on the asphalt road.

"Call the police, girl, you have run over someone." The man said sympathetically. Although Master would always "cruelly" deprive us of our holidays, when something really happened, he was more considerate and delicate than we imagined.He took the initiative to give Dabao a whole month's vacation, in the name of annual vacation once a year and family-visiting leave once every four years. It coincided with the June graduation season, and Chen Shiyu, who was an intern in our survey team, also returned to Public Security University.She has to complete a series of graduation and dispatch procedures, and after successfully passing the political review, she has to accept an organizational interview before returning to our survey team to continue working.This process will take at least one month.

As a provincial forensic department with only two investigation teams, this is undoubtedly "bad news". Without the assistance of Dabao and Xiaoyu, I really can't get rid of my work.I get up early and work late all day, physically and mentally exhausted. Never has a month passed so slowly and so hard as this one.During this month, I sat in the empty car with Lin Tao and Han Liang, feeling lost in my heart.Especially Lin Tao, I found out that he would peek at the selfie on Chen Shiyu's computer when he had nothing to do! The several business trips this month were almost all for the purpose of reviewing the letters and visits. After reviewing and reviewing, no unjust case was found.For those of us who need a sense of accomplishment to support our work, it has been an extremely boring month.

Fortunately, on July 9, Dabao finally came back. Dabao must have been frightened by the enthusiasm of Lin Tao and me. When he appeared at the door of the office, we pounced on him and bit him in turn. "Do you know? Your sister-in-law and I have raised a golden retriever." Dabao said with a smile, "Every time I see it, it will greet me warmly, in exactly the same way as you two greeted me just now." "Fuck you." Lin Tao let out a "bah" and said, "Did you really use the one-month vacation that Master gave you to chase Mrs. Bao back?" Dabao smiled and nodded.

"What method?" Lin Tao asked anxiously, "What method was used?" "Old Qin taught me." Dabao pointed to me. Lin Tao turned his suspicious eyes to me again. "What? Want to learn?" I said with a smile, "Do you want to use it to chase small feathers?" Lin Tao's cheeks blushed for a while, and he said, "Don't be secretive, just tell me." Dabao and I smiled knowingly, and said in unison: "This is a secret!" "Well, I don't believe how long Dabao's straight-hearted character can hold back. Haven't you heard a joke?" Lin Tao then imitated, "'Do me a favor, Sagittarius.' 'Please. ''Oh, forget it.' 'Don't, don't, what's the matter.' 'I'll tell you if you ask me.' 'Okay, I beg you.'" Dabao is Sagittarius. We all burst out laughing after hearing Lin Tao finish the joke in style. "Don't worry, I will never tell you this time." Dabao said sweetly, "I will tell this story at our wedding." "Are you going to get married?" Lin Tao asked with widened eyes. Dabao nodded. The phone on the desk rang suddenly. "I really have you, I guess you are enjoying life at home every day, and the hemorrhoids come out again?" I pressed the microphone and said, "When you come back, there will be a scene!" "Qin Ming, there is a site in the New District Bureau, please go and help." Master still spoke concisely. "The case in the provincial capital? What kind of case?" I asked. "Maybe...it might be a traffic accident." Master said, "It's not clear yet, it may involve the nature of the case." "Traffic accident? Isn't it over after the city bureau solves it?" "The person involved is a well-known anchor of the radio station." Master said, "The social influence is relatively large. To ensure nothing goes wrong, you are responsible for the on-site investigation of this case." I hung up the phone resentfully, and said: "This month seems to be possessed by a demon. It is full of complaint cases, or some irrelevant cases. In short, there are no good cases." "Human life is greater than the sky, and the common people have nothing to worry about." Dabao said with a grin, "Hurry up and leave." "Yo?" I said, "I haven't seen you in a month, and my political consciousness has improved a lot." "Master said." Dabao picked up the investigation box. "You haven't worked for a month, did you give birth?" I said with a smile. Dabao said: "Dissecting a corpse is not a delicate job, what else is there to be familiar with?" According to the request of Section Chief Hu of the Municipal Bureau, our car drove directly to the yard of the traffic police brigade of the New District Branch of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.On-site investigators and forensic doctors from the Municipal Bureau have long been waiting here. "Chief Hu, do you still have a clue about the 'Scavenger Project'?" Dabao asked as soon as he got out of the car. "It's true which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted." I said. Chief Hu smiled and said: "It's strange. According to the designated scope, we checked all the people, and all of them were ruled out as suspects! It may be that there is a problem with our designated scope, or it may be due to the investigation. The work is not meticulous. Now the Municipal Bureau is deploying a new round of investigation." "The investigation was not clear at the first time, and it will be more difficult to investigate again." I was a little frustrated, "Let's study again later to see if there is any problem with the scope of investigation previously designated." "Okay." Chief Hu said, "This time, I would like to trouble you to come over again. It is a case of a famous female anchor of our city's radio station." "Did you get hit to death, or did you run into someone else?" Dabao cut to the chase. Chief Hu said: "That's right. Today at one o'clock in the middle of the night, we received a report that Hei Mi, a famous radio anchor, returned to his community and found a dead body behind his car, so the traffic police arrived immediately. It's here." "There's a dead body behind the car?" I interrupted, "Isn't that hiding the dead body? Throwing the dead body away?" Chief Hu shook his head and said, "Heimi himself should not have known it at all. The corpse's belt was hung on the chassis of the car, which means that the car dragged a corpse for a long distance before it was discovered." "It's really her." I said, "Did the deceased die in a traffic accident?" "The body hasn't been examined yet," Chief Hu said, "but according to colleagues in the traffic police department, Hemi himself denies hitting anyone." "What about her?" I asked. Chief Hu said: "Now Heimi is under control in the traffic police brigade because of her suspicion of causing a traffic accident. Two policemen are doing her ideological work, and her mood is very unstable." "What about you?" I asked. "The traffic police comrades didn't take this traffic accident case seriously." Section Chief Hu said, "They just notified us to come for an autopsy this morning. Because public figures are involved, I asked Mr. Chen for instructions and invited you to investigate together." I nodded, looked around a Volvo car parked in the compound, and asked, "Have you seen all the cars?" "I've seen it." The technician said, "There is no obvious trace of collision, and there is no obvious human tissue on the tire. We have already expanded the tire pattern for comparison." "The body was dragged to the entrance of the community by a vehicle." Lin Tao asked, "In other words, it is not clear where the accident occurred?" The technician shook his head and said, "Then I don't know. However, the traffic police engineer tested the brake system and tires of the vehicle, and there was no trace of emergency braking." "The car didn't even brake, it just rolled over." Dabao said, "It's really good enough." "Yes. Her driver's license has just been obtained for less than half a year." A traffic police colleague said. "Regardless of whether it was a traffic accident or not, we still have to investigate seriously." I said, "The key is the traces on the body. But now I want to meet Heimi and ask some questions." "Ask her why? It's better to do an autopsy directly." Dabao said. I laughed and said, "I'm a fan of hers, and I listen to her shows every day. Did I stop listening to her today?" "Hey! Lao Qin!" Dabao said, "This is not the place to ask for autographs!" Heimi sat in the conversation room of the traffic police team, with his head down, his long eyelashes fluttering slightly. After talking all night, her mood was still not stable, and her shoulders were still trembling slightly. "Black rice?" I sat opposite her and said, "I'm your fan." This sentence obviously relieved Heimi's nervousness, and her shoulders stopped shaking.Heimi slowly raised his head, glanced at me, and forced a smile.I saw her big eyes were bloodshot. "There is a place to rest here, I think you can take a rest." I said, "However, the traffic police may not let you go home until the matter is clarified." Black rice nodded. I cleared my throat and said, "It's convenient for you to tell me now, did you hit someone?" "No." Heimi said in standard Mandarin, "I came back from the stage last night and seemed to see a dark shadow, but it definitely didn't hit it, I'm sure." "Is that over?" "I'm not sure about this. I haven't run over anything with my car. I don't know what it would feel like. But after the black shadow flashed, I seemed to feel the bumps. At that time, I thought I was too scared, and I was scared. I was hallucinating from the fright. Looking in the rearview mirror, there is no problem, so I don’t care.” "Don't be nervous, the matter has already happened, face it calmly." I smiled slightly and said, "I will investigate the matter clearly, you can rest assured." Heimi smiled back gratefully. Before examining the body, I discovered the suspicious points in the case. "Do you want to sign?" Lin Tao said with a smile when he saw me coming out of the conversation room. I said nothing, "Go to the funeral home, I am very anxious to examine the body now!" "Me too." Dabao said, "I haven't had a knife for a month." "Pervert." Lin Tao said. The corpses of many traffic accidents are very cruel and bloody. Some have their heads crushed by large trucks, and some have been knocked into corpses on the highway. These are no surprises to forensic doctors. However, this male body that was dragged several kilometers by the vehicle made people look even more uncomfortable.According to the photos taken by the traffic police on the original scene, the deceased was in a prone position. Because the belt was hung on the chassis, he was dragged and wiped by the car at high speed. There are still burnt marks around the fragments of clothing.The skin of the corpse's face, chest and abdomen, perineum, and front sides of the limbs has almost been rubbed off, and the subcutaneous tissue and muscles also have traces of being scorched by high temperature. In other words, because the corpse on the dissection table was placed prone at the beginning, we didn't feel any obvious abnormalities, but when we worked together to turn the corpse over, we were really "shocked". The most terrifying thing about this male corpse is not the bloody torso, but the bloody face.On this terrifying face, there was no nose, no eyelids, one of the two eyeballs had burst, and the other eyeball was white and drooping in the eye socket.His lips were scorched black, revealing two rows of white teeth.Fortunately, the skin on both sides of the mandible still exists, otherwise it would be even more terrifying to expose the masseter muscles on both sides. Looking at the corpse with a sharp contrast between the front and back, Dabao said, "It matches the situation at the scene, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?" "Whether it fits or not doesn't depend on the surface." I said while installing the blade on the handle of the scalpel. "The entire front of the corpse is bloody and bloody, and it's hard to tell whether there is any life reaction." Dabao clamped the little skin left on the front of the corpse with a hemostat, and looked at the edge, which was also scorched.It is indeed impossible to judge from the surface whether these scratches were formed during the deceased's lifetime or after death. "It's quite scary." Lin Tao said, "If the deceased is not dead when the mopping is done, how terrifying would it be?" "Hei Mi was parked when he felt that he had run over something." I said, "If the deceased was still conscious at this time, he would have yelled loudly. In such a secluded place, and under his own car, Hei Mi It shouldn't be overheard." "What if you heard it and still don't want to get out of the car?" Dabao said. After a traffic accident, the driver who caused the accident continued to drive with a fluke mentality, and it is indeed not uncommon for the victim to die.However, if we restore such a plot, then what Heimi committed is not the crime of causing a traffic accident, but the crime of intentional homicide. Dabao's reminder made me feel a little horrified.If the person lying in front of me was really still shouting, and Hei Mi stepped on the gas pedal.This image makes me shudder. I bit my lower lip, and slowly peeled off the clothing fragments attached to the corpse from the bloody corpse, spreading them piece by piece on the operating table. "It can be ruled out as a case of embezzlement." I said, "There are more than a thousand dollars in the back pocket of the deceased's jeans and an ID card." After speaking, I handed the ID card to the investigator.The deceased was named Jiao Lin, thirty-one years old, and a native of this city.This discovery saves the forensic doctor a lot of work, at least there is no need to infer the characteristics of the deceased to find the source of the corpse. "Traffic accident, what kind of property infringement case is ruled out?" Dabao said, "Just because you are a fan of Heimi, you can't just try to clear her of guilt." "Am I that kind of person?" I gave Dabao a blank look. "Look here." Dabao inspected the corpse from the head down, and when he came to the perineum, he said, "Huh? Compared with other parts of the corpse, the scratches on the perineum are much lighter. That's all. exist." "Nonsense." I said, "The deceased was hooked by the belt, which is the back of the perineum. The place where the dead person is hooked is always relatively high, so the friction is less." "It makes sense." Dabao said, "From here, the damaged surface of the skin friction is yellowish white. That is to say, there is no life reaction." "It was wiped after death." I checked the remaining skin on the chest and abdomen of the deceased, and said, "The skin fragments on the chest and abdomen can also be seen that there is no life response at the edge of the injury." "That's good." Dabao said, "At last, this anchor did not do anything evil." "Now we are faced with a problem." I said, "If the deceased has such a large area of ​​damage, the first thing to consider is death from traumatic shock. But the injured side of the deceased has no life response, that is, dragging and abrasions are caused after death. , then, what should be the cause of his death?" "Traffic accidents are mostly caused by internal hemorrhage, brain injury and death." Dabao said, "Let's dissect it and have a look." "I'm afraid it's black rice who can't escape the blame," said Lin Tao, who was wearing gloves. Lin Tao said this out of the blue, Dabao and I walked behind Lin Tao together. Lin Tao pointed to the fragments of clothes that I had just stripped off the corpse and said: "The clothes of the deceased were quite damaged, but the back was almost intact. Just now I looked at the clothes on the back of the dead with a multi-band light source. And the position of the shoulder blade, there is a tire mark." "Look, it's the tire print of Heimi's car?" I asked. Lin Tao nodded with regret. Without saying a word, I walked to the operating table, motioned Dabao to turn the corpse over, and dissected the back of the corpse.We soon discovered that the deceased's upper arms, back ribs, shoulder blades and spine were all intact. I smiled slightly and said, "You may not be able to escape the guilt. There is no soft tissue shattered or fractured at the position corresponding to the tire marks. Obviously, the black rice didn't hit him, at most the tire hit there. " "Don't draw conclusions too early." Dabao said, "What if you run in front? The clothes in front are all gone, even if there are tire marks, you can't find them." Indeed, it is not uncommon for the dead body to be turned over after being crushed.Dabao and I quickly turned the body over again and performed a routine autopsy on the body. The scalpel cut open the muscles of the chest and abdominal cavity, separated, and the bone saw opened the chest cavity... The chest and abdomen cavity of the deceased was very clean, and there were no signs of organ rupture or bleeding! "It's strange." Dabao still didn't give up, and slowly touched every rib of the deceased, saying, "Even the ribs are not broken, and the internal organs are normal." Without making a sound, I opened the scalp of the deceased and sawed open the skull. Sure enough, the brain was normal, without any signs of contusion or bleeding. I still didn't give up, and cut open the limbs and muscles of the deceased. Except for the scorched side of the muscles that was in contact with the ground, the rest of the muscles were normal, and there were no fractures in the long bones.The deceased did not even show signs of suffocation! "This is a corpse whose cause of death cannot be found!" Dabao said with his eyes wide open. "Don't say that." I said, "First of all, we must confirm that the contusions on the front of the deceased must be posthumous. If they were alive, they may have died from traumatic shock." "But the skin of the perineum should be clearly damaged after death." Dabao said. I frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Now there are only two possibilities. One, the deceased died of traumatic shock. The reason why we feel that there is no life reaction around the skin may be our subjective emotions. Life response is a thing. , Sometimes the naked eye can still judge wrongly. Second, the deceased was already dead when Heimi's car was hooked up to him. This actually verified a doubtful point I found before." "The doubts you found before?" Lin Tao asked. I nodded and said, "I was surprised when I saw Hemi's car in the traffic police team. There was no sign of a collision in the whole car. That is to say, the car did not hit anyone, and the person was caught under the car. This is It’s not normal, unless the person was lying on the road and Heimi’s car drove up and hung it up, or the person just rolled into the bottom of Heimi’s car. In short, if there is no collision, the car is dragged on Heimi should be unaware of this." After finishing speaking, I cut open the deceased's stomach, smelled the smell, and said: "There is no smell of alcohol in the stomach, which means that he is not a drunk. Then, the most likely cause of the deceased was a sudden death from a disease or poisoning. The place of death was Heimi At the place where the vehicle was found to be abnormal, at that time, her car drove right up to the corpse and hung it up." "The possibility you said is indeed high, but it cannot be ruled out that Heimi just ran over a person and dragged him to death." Dabao said. "The condition on the body is consistent with the condition of the vehicle, and there is no collision injury." I said, "Could it be that this person is lying on the ground alive waiting to be touched?" "You can't rule out this possibility." Dabao said, "But judging from the current situation, Heimi is almost innocent. You can notify the traffic police to release him." I said: "All the possibilities we mentioned above exist. First, inform the chief of the physical and chemical department to conduct a poison test on the stomach contents of the deceased immediately to rule out the death of the deceased from poisoning; second, inform us of the histopathology laboratory. Section Chief Fang, conduct a pathological examination on the tissues and organs of the deceased to see if the deceased has any diseases that may cause sudden death. In addition, please ask Section Chief Fang to conduct a pathological examination on the skin around the wound of the corpse to see whether these drags and abrasions were caused by Yes, after death." The corpse has no skin and can no longer be stitched.We had to wrap the body in a body bag and send it to the funeral home in an ice coffin. "I have already told the traffic police team that there is another explanation for this traffic accident." Lin Tao hung up the phone and said, "The best result is that the deceased died suddenly and was accidentally dragged by Heimi's car." "The worst outcome is that the deceased is poisoned to death, and then the murderer wants to forge the scene of the traffic accident." Dabao said, picking his nostrils. "In short, at present, Hei Mi is considered innocent. However, you have to tell the traffic police colleagues not to let Hei Mi go home for the time being." I said, "I have something to do with her." "I've already said it." Lin Tao smiled knowingly, and said, "I knew you wanted to ask Heimi to take you to see the suspicious scene where she thought you had run into someone." "You still understand me." I laughed. While talking, our car drove into the traffic police team.Unexpectedly, just three hours after we left, this place has changed.The entrance of the traffic police team was full of people, and noises could be faintly heard in the yard. "You bastards!" a woman screamed, "Aren't you afraid of retribution? Aren't you afraid of evil spirits coming to you?" "Don't be afraid!" I pushed away the crowd, walked into the compound, and said loudly, "We are objective and fair, and follow science. We don't do anything wrong, and we are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door!" People's eyes were all on me, and I even saw a few strong men start to look fierce. Several traffic police surrounded me, making a gesture of encircling and protecting me.A traffic police colleague whispered in a low voice: "The family members of the deceased are here to make trouble." "What's the matter?" the woman yelled loudly, "Don't speak official words to me! Isn't it because Heimi is a celebrity? You want to cover her up? There is no way! Ask Heimi to come out!" I asked the traffic policeman just now in a low voice, "Who is this? Where is Heimi?" The traffic police said: "This is the wife of the deceased Jiao Lin, Xue Qi, a director of the radio station. After you find the ID card, we will notify Xue Qi. We just received a call from Section Chief Lin, and we are about to let the black rice Go home and rest first, Xue Qi arrived with a large group of people, saying that he wanted to avenge his husband." "Her husband has been missing for so long, and she didn't report it?" I asked. The traffic policeman said: "Just now I heard from colleagues in the criminal police department that Xue Qi and Jiao Lin have been separated for a long time, and they have not been able to divorce because of property issues." "Hehe, now that she's dead, she's starting to jump around." Dabao muttered, "Don't you just want compensation?" "Yes." The traffic policeman said, "We're not surprised by such things. Just now we sent a few people to protect Heimi in the lounge." "But it's quite a coincidence." I said, "Xue Qi and Hei Mi work in the same unit, and her husband is actually hung under Hei Mi's car. There must be some twists and turns. " "I heard that Xue Qi usually has a bad relationship with Heimi." The traffic policeman said, "It happened that this incident happened, and the relationship between colleagues disappeared." "Xue Qi's husband and Hei Mi, will there be something..." I was a little worried, so I said it unconsciously. "No." The traffic policeman said, "Colleagues from the criminal police department have done an investigation and adjusted the call list. There is absolutely no relationship between the two." "Then I'm more at ease." I said. "What are you muttering about?" Xue Qi called out, "Is your leader here? Who will come out and give me an explanation?" I cleared my throat and said loudly, "Let me explain to you." "Is it useful for you to speak?" A young man jumped out and said, "My brother-in-law is a serious company executive and a person of status. My sister is a radio station, and it scares you to death, all the media bosses in the provincial capital My sister knows each other. Do you believe that we organized media exposure? I stripped your dog skin!" Lin Tao put down the investigation box, squeezed his fist and rushed towards the young man, but I grabbed him. I smiled slightly and said to the young man, "Kid, don't spout me. My uniform was given to me by the country, not the media. I walk upright and stand up straight. No one can take off my clothes so easily. But you, now have violated the Public Security Punishment Law, I can notify the special police detachment to arrest people at any time." The young man was a little timid, and he opened his mouth but said nothing. Xue Qi said: "Then tell me, how to solve this matter?" I said "Hey" and said: "The cause of death of the deceased has not been identified yet, and it will take a few days. Before that, I advise you to stay calm and not be rash." "What cause of death do you need to identify?" Xue Qi blushed and turned pale, and said, "He was hit to death by black rice! Do you want to protect her from escaping?" "Whether it is obvious or not, the identification of the cause of death is a necessary legal procedure. It is illegal to take any action before the identification of the cause of death is issued. I guarantee it with my personality." I said, "I guarantee that this matter will be fair. Deal with it. If it's Heimi's responsibility, Heimi must take the responsibility, but if it's not Heimi's responsibility, no one is going to put a hat on her indiscriminately." "Go back, go back." Several traffic policemen were urging the crowd to disperse. Xue Qi wanted to say something, but he couldn't find a better reason, so he winked at the crowd, and they left one after another. "You guys are so good-tempered, I really want to beat him up." Lin Tao said. "If you beat him up, your clothes will really be stripped." I patted Lin Tao on the shoulder and said, "To be a policeman, one must be able to endure grievances and withstand criticism." Heimi must have learned our preliminary conclusion, and when she saw her again, her face was already rosy.Just being frightened just now, her lips were still a little purple. "Hei Mi, can you take us to see the scene?" In order to relieve her nervousness, I tried my best to soothe my tone. "Where... are you still going?" Hei Mi was still terrified. I smiled and said, "Several big men are with you, and the sun is shining brightly now." Heimi nodded in agreement, and we drove in the direction of the new radio station. The car got more and more remote, and came to a bend with green fields on both sides. "It's here." Sitting in the car, Heimi pointed to the yellow line in the middle of the newly completed asphalt road and said. I nodded and jumped out of the police car. Here is a sharp bend, at an angle of about eighty degrees. Heimi got out of the car with us, and said: "Last night, ah no, it should be late last night. When I drove here, I felt a black shadow flashing, and the car seemed to bump. I thought it was a bump. What's up." "Anyway, you didn't run over anyone, don't worry." I comforted her. "Are you sure it's here?" I squatted on the road and said. Black rice nodded vigorously. I waved to Lin Tao and took him along the yellow line of the road, walking in the direction of the radio station. "Where are you going?" Seeing us walking farther and farther, Heimi didn't know whether to follow us or stay where he was, feeling a little at a loss. I shouted: "Go wait for us in the car, it's cool in the car, and that guy named Han Liang is also your fan." Lin Tao and I walked for about 300 meters, and I stopped abruptly, pointed to a debris on the road and said, "Look, Lin Tao! It's really not what I expected! Take a photo!" It was a piece of denim, and there was even some blood stuck to it. "It should be the same material as the jeans on the deceased's body." After taking pictures excitedly, Lin Tao took out the fragments and said, "How do you know there will be fragments here?" "Think about it," I said, "if the dead were hung up at the bend, there would be the most blood and tissue debris at the bend when the mopping started. However, at the bend almost No bloodstains or tissue fragments were seen, which means that when the car hung the corpse to the curve, the wounds on the corpse were almost completely drained of blood, and the wounds were also burnt." "That is to say, the body was not hung onto the car at the bend." Lin Tao said. I nodded and said, "There are pieces of clothing here, so if we continue to walk in the direction of the radio station, we will see more and more debris and blood, if I guess correctly." This is a place where few people come, and today is the day when the radio station is handing over the old building. All the employees of the station have gone to the old station to participate in activities, and it is even more rare.Because of this, these traces of physical evidence have not been destroyed. Lin Tao and I walked along the main road for about two kilometers, and finally saw the entrance to the underground garage on the side of the radio station building.Along the way, we did find more clothing, tissue fragments, and blood. The floor of the radio station's underground garage is matte plastic, dark red.Although there is not much blood on the surface, we know that this should be the place with the most blood. Luckily, I have tetramethylbenzidine reagent in my prospecting box, and we run tests every few meters, and the test results remain positive until the middle of a parking space in the garage. I called Han Liang and told him to bring the car over. After a while, Han Liang got off the police car with Heimi and Dabao. "Do you remember where your car was parked last night?" I asked. "No. A-023," Hemi said, "that's my fixed parking space." I looked at the parking space where we checked the blood stains just now, and it really is No. A-023.Lin Tao and I looked at each other and smiled. Hemi said: "What's the matter? Is there any problem?" Dabao also cast a questioning look. I said: "We traced the clothes fragments, tissue fragments and bloodstains that were consistent with the deceased's body, all the way to the underground garage. To be precise, we traced them all the way to Heimi's parking space." “啊？我是冤枉的！”黑米没有理解我的意思，叫道，“我真的不知道我车下面有个人！我真的不知道！” 我哈哈一笑，说：“我们现在的发现，恰好就是证明了你的清白。你上车的时候，是不是没有关注到车子下面？” “我为什么要关注车子下面？”黑米说，“地下车库那么阴森，我直接躲上车了。” 大宝摸着下巴，说：“黑米，秦科长的这一发现，说明你上车的时候，尸体就已经在你的车下被挂着了。你没有撞到人，更没有轧着人，你是不知情的，没有责任。” “谢谢，谢谢你们。”黑米的眼睛中充满了泪水。 “好啦，任务完成。”我说，“我们回去静静地等待病理和毒化的结果就好了。” “可是你还没有解释，为什么在弯道处我会看到一个黑影？为什么会感觉到有点儿颠簸？”黑米突然露出一脸恐惧，说，“难道我真的遇见鬼了吗？那个死了的人会不会变成鬼了？他不会来索我的命吧？” “哈哈。”我被黑米的表情逗乐了，说，“放心吧，他就是索，也不会索你的。你要记住，你是无辜的。” “不过，黑米说得对啊，为什么她会恰巧有那样的幻觉？”大宝问。 我说：“不是幻觉，她的感觉是真实存在的。” “哦？”大宝瞪起了眼睛，黑米则躲到了韩亮的身后。 我拿出一包香烟和一个打火机，用香烟当成车辆，用打火机当成尸体，比划道：“在黑米开车之前，尸体就被挂在了车底。我和林涛走过，从这里到弯道处，一直是一条直路，所以黑米并没有发觉。在弯道处，因为车辆的突然转弯，车底的尸体因为惯性发生了转动，偏离了原来平行于车底的位置。尸体的一端从车侧露了出来，这时候正在开车的黑米，余光会从后视镜中看到一个黑影晃动。因为害怕，黑米肯定踩了刹车，这个时候，车辆的轮胎和因为惯性转过来的尸体发生碰撞，尸体因为轮胎的碰撞力重新回位到和车底平行的位置。因为轮胎碰了尸体，所以黑米感觉到了颠簸。这也解释了为什么尸体的肩背部有轮胎印但是没有碾轧痕。” “非常有道理！”大宝说，“确实没有其他可能来科学地解释这一切了。” “可是尸体为什么会挂到我的车上？”黑米心有余悸。 我低头思索了一下，说：“最大的可能是他在钻你的车底，突然疾病发作死亡了。你一开车，车底就恰巧挂上了死者的腰带。” “可他为什么要钻我的车？”黑米说，“他会不会是被别人害死的？” 我摇摇头，说：“我们排除了死者是外伤、窒息死亡的可能性，刚才我也接到了毒化实验室的电话，排除了他是中毒死亡。应该不是他杀，而是意外。至于他为什么要钻你车底，我猜会不会是想躲避一些什么？” 黑米环顾四周，说：“以后我再也不把车子停到下面来了。” “你们地库这不是有监控吗？”我指着墙角的摄像头问黑米。 黑米摇摇头，说：“地库的监控因为招标受质疑的问题，一直都没能通过验收，所以一直还没有开启。很多人都和台领导提意见，说车子被划了也不知道是谁划的。可是台领导也没办法。” “哦。”我沉吟道，“我们回去吧。你需要休息，我们也需要时间来等待组织病理学做出的结果。” 法医组织病理学是需要一个烦琐的检验流程的。从解剖取下的人体组织的取材、固定，到脱水、包埋、切片、染色、制片，最后到阅片、诊断，少说也要一星期多的时间。 在这一星期时间里，我天天到组织病理学实验室里催方俊杰干活，甚至把他的头发都逼白了两根。 7月16日，星期一，我早早地跑到了组织病理学实验室。 “我现在看见你就害怕。”方俊杰笑着说，“你真是快把我给逼疯了！昨天我加了一天班，把切片都看完了。” “什么结果？”我急着问。 方俊杰不慌不忙地说：“从皮肤的病理切片看，没有炎症反应，说明死者的拖擦伤应该是死后损伤，死得透透的之后形成的。” “这个我基本心里有数了，就是验证一下。”我说，“你就别卖关子了，告诉我，死者是不是潜在性心脏疾病突然发作导致猝死的？” “啊？”方俊杰说，“你怎么会这样认为？我看了所有的片子，心脏完全正常啊。冠状动脉也不狭窄，心肌也没问题，传导系统也没问题。你等等啊，我再看看片子。” “没病？”我吃了一惊，“那不是心脏疾病，会不会是其他疾病？” 方俊杰熟练地更换着切片，眼睛没有离开显微镜，说：“心脏肯定是没问题，其他切片看，也没任何问题。这个人很健康。” “什么？”我叫道，“那他是怎么死的？” “我怎么知道？”方俊杰说，“又不是我解剖的。” 我说：“可是我们解剖排除了外伤、窒息和中毒致死，现在你又给我排除了疾病致死，那他是怎么死的？” “听起来有点儿恐怖啊。”方俊杰说，“难道是鬼上身？” 我的脑子有点儿蒙，赶紧拨通了赵其国副局长的电话。 “赵局长，你那边调查有什么进展吗？”我说，“焦林死亡的案子。” 赵局长说：“案子交给交警在办，刑警配合。目前调查，死者是一个企业的高管，但是性格软弱，在家里很受欺负。妻子薛齐有外遇的可能，但是目前还没有找到相关证据。焦林和薛齐关系一直不好，处于分居状态，因为财产官司还没有离婚。7月8日晚上薛齐给焦林打过一个电话，据薛齐说，是她提出离婚，但焦林还是不同意。” “也就是说，那个时候焦林有可能去找薛齐？”我问，“当时薛齐在哪里？” “薛齐说是在自己买的房子里。”赵局长说，“但我们觉得有问题，因为在地下车库，我们发现了死者焦林的汽车。焦林应该是驾车去广播电台，至于干什么，不得而知。” 我追问道：“那电台里总有监控摄像头吧？有异常情况吗？” 赵局长说：“8日是星期天，薛齐不上班，我们从电梯、楼道的监控摄像头里确实没有看到薛齐、焦林和可疑人员。只有黑米9日凌晨下了电梯，她的节目编导住在台里，也没有下到地库。地库的监控摄像头没有启动，所以下面发生了什么也不知道。你们死因查清了吗？” 我有些哑口无言，从牙缝里挤出几个字：“我要重新验尸。” 回到办公室里的时候，办公室里正一片欢腾。 小羽毛回来了。 小羽毛给大家带回来许多北京特产。林涛斜坐在小羽毛的桌边和她亲热地说着话，大宝则躲在办公室的角落里大快朵颐。 小羽毛见我黑着脸走进办公室，说：“怎么，看到我就这么不高兴啊？你看看，我现在戴一杠一星了！我是正式民警了！你不能歧视我！” 我应付道：“啥时候回来的？” 小羽毛说：“其实昨天早上就到了，但是星期日嘛，我就在家赖了一天。” 我拍了拍手，话锋一转，说：“大伙儿听着，上个星期的焦林死亡案，病理方面没有查出问题。也就是说，我们没有找到死者的死因。现在案件存在诸多疑问，我们必须马上检验尸体！” 欢腾的景象立即收归严肃，林涛和大宝马上开始收拾各自的勘查箱。我打通了韩亮的电话，说：“又迟到！马上到单位，去殡仪馆！” 经过了一星期的冷冻，又没有及时化冻，尸体硬邦邦地躺在解剖台上。 我问赶过来工作的魏法医，说：“胡科长和韩科长呢？不是应该由他们俩负责这个案子吗？” 魏法医点点头，说：“他俩今早就接到指令，去西郊一个现场了。” “两个科长一起去的？”我问道，“命案吗？” “不清楚。”魏法医说，“但看他们的脸色，怕是不太乐观。如果是疑难命案，他们会打电话向你求援的。” 我“哦”了一声，默默地穿上了解剖服。 尸体经过冷冻，皮肤和暴露软组织的水分已经损失殆尽，组织暴露面呈现出皮革样化的表现。我掰了掰尸体的肌肉组织，完全掰不动。 “哎，是需要等解冻吗？”大宝问。 我说：“冷冻完再解冻，加之这样的天气，腐败会加剧。我怕我们就这样弄了一个阴性解剖，没法给专案组交代，没法给死者家属交代，没法给黑米交代。” “那怎么办？”大宝深深地忧虑起来。 “咦？”我正在触摸尸体的手突然停了下来，继而又在死者的颈部两侧细细地触摸起来。 “发现什么了？”大宝凑过头来。 “快拿放大镜！”我叫道。 大宝手套都来不及脱，打开了自己的勘查箱，翻找出放大镜递给我。 我拿着放大镜在死者的颈部细细观察了起来。因为颈部是凹陷部位，所以在整个拖擦的过程中，颈部始终没有长时间着地，所以也没有严重受伤。我们在初步检验的时候，对颈部的皮肤和肌肉进行了检查，并没有发现什么可疑的地方。但是尸体脱水、皮肤皮革样化后，颈部的两处损伤就明显了起来。虽然从表面上看，损伤和周围皮肤一样，都是黄褐色的改变，但是用手指触摸，就能感觉到这两个直径大约一毫米的损伤是明显突出皮面的。 “我们在初检的时候遗漏了损伤！”我说。 大宝说：“这么小的损伤，又没有肌肉出血，被遗漏也很正常啊。这小小的损伤，有什么说法吗？有什么意义吗？” 我说：“不，这次遗漏，直接让我们搞不清死因了！这两处损伤就是死因。” “啊？”大宝从我手上接过放大镜，看了起来。 “电流斑，又称电流印记，其形成是由于带电导体与皮肤接触，电流通过完整皮肤时，在接触处产生的焦耳热及电解作用所造成的一种特殊皮肤损伤。皮肤的高电阻作用使电流在穿过皮肤通过人体时产生高温作用，电击伤遂会在皮肤上留下电流斑。典型的电流斑外观呈口小底大、中央凹陷、边缘隆起的火山口样圆形或椭圆形损伤。凹陷处为炭化区，周围凝固样坏死。显微镜下观察更方便确诊。电流斑是法医诊断电击死的重要依据。”我见林涛和陈诗羽不明所以，所以背教科书似的解说道。 “口小底大、中央凹陷、边缘隆起的火山口样。”大宝复述道，“无疑，这是两处典型特征的电流斑。” “显然，这两处电流斑，一处是入口，一处是出口。”我说，“死者死于电击，接触导线位置是颈部两侧。” “现场是新建成的，会不会是意外？”林涛说，“也不对，尸体是钻在汽车底下的，怎么会被电击？汽车漏电？” “汽车检测工作，保险公司早就做了，肯定没问题。”我说，“而且，颈部两侧这个凹陷的位置，怎么会同时接触到电流进入和出去的两个导线？” “你是说，他杀？”大宝说，“电击杀人还真不多见。” 我点点头，说：“根据现场环境，不具备电击条件。这应该是一起人为的电击事件。” 我小心翼翼地把颈部皮肤切割下来，装进一个物证保管瓶内，递给韩亮，说：“你把这个送去方俊杰那里，让他进行病理学检验。只有病理学检验，才能作为确证电流斑的呈堂证供。这对后期起诉审判很有用。” “还没嫌疑人呢，就想到起诉审判啦？”韩亮做出一副嫌弃的表情，把瓶子装进了一个黑塑料袋。 “有嫌疑人！”我说。 “谁？”大宝说。 我看了一眼林涛，和林涛异口同声：“薛齐。” “死者妻子？” “是的。”我说，“第一，薛齐为了财产和焦林拉拉扯扯好几年没能离婚，她又有外遇，那么她应该有杀死焦林，获取所有财产的杀人动机；第二，薛齐是广播电台内部人，只有内部人才敢明目张胆地把尸体弄到那个有监控摄像头但没有启用的地库里，外人并不知道地库的监控摄像头是聋子的耳朵——摆设；第三，薛齐和黑米一直有过节，她有嫁祸给黑米的动机。一个不为既得利益而杀人的人，必然是死者死亡后获取利益最大的人。” “可是电梯、楼道监控摄像头显示薛齐当天并没有来台里啊。”大宝说。 我说：“如果是薛齐和她的姘夫在外面杀了人，然后开了死者的车直接到地库呢？” “对啊！”大宝说，“不过，我们现在没有掌握任何薛齐杀人的证据。” “那我们就去她家里找！”我说。 专案组里，一大拨侦查员都用疑惑的目光看着我们。显然，这一起要么交通事故、要么猝死的案件，怎么会调动这么多刑警来参与？这是前所未有的事情。 我用幻灯片简要介绍了死者的死因，以及我们推断嫌疑人的依据。 赵局长思忖片刻，下达指令说：“目前，死者焦林的妻子薛齐有重大作案嫌疑。我们已经对死者焦林遗留在现场的车辆进行了全面采样，希望能找到一些DNA物质，作为证据。但是破案不能等DNA结果，现在我们必须用最短的时间，找出和薛齐交往的男人中，有没有精通电工的人。一旦找出这样的人，无须向专案组汇报，直接通知提前守候在薛齐家附近的同志，同时对两家进行搜查。搜查的目标，是可以电死人的装置。” 几组侦查员应声站起，准备离开专案组。 赵局长补充道：“我在这里在线等！” 等到侦查员们纷纷离去，我问道：“赵局长，怎么没见胡科长、韩科长他们啊？” “他们刚才接到指挥中心指令，赶赴西郊的一个死亡现场。”胡局长说，“那个位置路不好走，估计他们现在还不一定到了呢。” “是命案吗？”我问。 赵局长摇摇头，说：“当地派出所接警后就到现场了，确实看到血了，但是没敢进一步靠近，怕破坏现场，所以具体情况，还要等胡科长他们看过了，传回来消息才知道。” 我点点头，打开焦林的尸检照片，一张一张慢慢看，希望能再找出一些线索，以防调查出现问题。 事实证明，调查并不会出现任何问题。 侦查部门运用了多种手段，锁定了一名叫作林华强的人。这个人是电工出身，后来参加成人自考，考入了龙番大学物理系，学电气化工程。毕业后，在广播电台担任技术主管。林华强和薛齐十年前就认识，在三年前开始保持不正当男女关系。 因为薛齐和焦林一直不能离婚，林华强就出了主意，唆使薛齐杀掉焦林。经过精心的准备，他们制造了这一起杀人后伪装交通事故嫁祸他人的案件。 2012年7月8日晚间，林华强携带自己制作的电击装置，驾车到广播电台的地下车库等候。这是一个经过精心设计的电击装置。林华强采用了普通蓄电池加上升压器的方法，制作出一个能够达到数百伏特电压、数安培电流的装置。他自己戴上肉色绝缘手套，把装置固定在自己身后，然后用两根长导线连接电击装置。导线从林华强的长袖衬衫里穿出，在他的绝缘手套的手心部位露出金属线。 薛齐则骗焦林说自己单位的主管要和他谈一笔生意，可能关系到广播电台和焦林所在企业的长期合作。 焦林驾车带着薛齐一起到达了广播电台的地下车库，并且和装作刚刚到达的林华强在地下车库“偶遇”。林华强热情地上前打招呼。虽然在炎热夏天穿着长袖衬衣很可疑，打招呼的动作也很可疑，但焦林并没有因为这一疑点而引起警惕。 林华强走近焦林后，突然打开身后的电源，伸出双手接触了焦林的颈部两侧。“啪”的一声，焦林直接倒地，心跳骤停而死亡。 林华强的这个设计，即便地库有其他人，也只是看到林华强和焦林拥抱了一下，焦林就突然倒地了，并无其他疑点。 焦林死亡后，薛齐和林华强迅速确定了地库没有其他人的存在，把尸体拖到了一直和薛齐合不来的黑米的车旁。考虑到把尸体放在车前必然会被黑米发现，他们便把尸体塞到了黑米的车底下，把尸体的腰带挂在了车底的凸出物上。 事后，林华强驾驶自己的车带着薛齐离开了现场。薛齐也做出一副死者家属的冤屈样子，带了一帮亲戚到警局贼喊抓贼。一来可以转移警方视线，二来可以再索要一笔赔偿，治一治那个比她漂亮、比她能力强、比她出名的黑米。 事发七天，警方还在把案件当成交通事故在办，林华强对自己的“聪明才智”自豪不已，把自己制作的电击装置藏在了衣柜深处。谁知七天之后，十余名警察从天而降，直接把这个带着罪恶的电击装置从衣柜里找了出来。 装置的导线上有焦林的DNA，焦林的车里有薛齐的新鲜指纹。在这些证据面前，林华强和薛齐不得不低下他们罪恶的头颅。 从开始调查嫌疑人到抓获嫌疑人、嫌疑人供述，不过只用了区区两个小时。他们自以为是的“完美犯罪”，因为两个小小的电流斑而被一举揭露。 一心不能二用，我一直在会议室里如坐针毡。 待到案件破获的消息一从审讯室里传出，我拉上林涛、大宝和陈诗羽奔向停在市局门口的警车。 因为，一个小时之前，胡科长反馈回现场消息。 那是一个命案现场，死者被人一刀致命。 现场有无数只蚂蚁组成的三个字：“清道夫。”
