Chapter 13 Chapter 12 Ghost in the Cemetery

If it wasn't for this business, Shen San would never go to such a ghostly place in the middle of the night. Jiling Mountain was a cemetery before the founding of New China.After the baptism of war, this uninhabited place with a radius of ten kilometers is now completely deserted, leaving only lonely graves dotting the western hillside eeriely. Wanxia Village is a small mountain village closest to Jiling Mountain, located in the embrace of the majestic Dabie Mountain. It is said that in the early days of the founding of New China, there were countless supernatural stories about Jiling Mountain.Some people say that once a child went there to fly a kite, he felt caught by something, and as a result, a black five-paw print appeared on the back of his neck; The top of Lingshan Mountain is shining with green light.

The greatest power of the theory of ghosts and gods lies in its power of dissemination, which is both wide and fast, and the more it spreads, the more miraculous it is, as if seeing it in person.Even though Jiling Mountain is located on the side of the road leading to Wanxia Village from the county seat, no one has dared to climb this legendary cemetery where countless lonely ghosts gather for decades. .Therefore, the cemetery was completely reduced to a barren mountain. Money can turn ghosts. After learning that a high-ranking official of the Qing Dynasty was buried in Jiling Mountain, Shen San, who has been making a living by robbing tombs, packed his bags and decided to go to Jiling Mountain to have a look.Maybe we can find that tomb, maybe we can find some antiques.

It was spring and the flowers were blooming, but the deep mountains were still like icehouses, and even the first snow after the Spring Festival fell. Just when the mountain was closed after snow, Shen San got off the car at the foot of Jiling Mountain under the suspicious and fearful eyes of a CMB passenger after traveling for a day. From the side of the road along the foot of Jiling Mountain to the west slope of the mountain, night has fallen.Not knowing whether it was because of the cold or fear, Shen San shivered all over.He secretly told himself that there is no need to be afraid, what scene has he never seen?

After all, he was unfamiliar with the place where he was born, and the weeds on Jiling Mountain had grown to the height of a person, which affected his sight, so after walking around the cemetery for more than two hours, Shen San still couldn't find the tomb that looked like a "high official". His miner's lamp also began to flicker due to insufficient power.Shen San took off his backpack, took out a spare battery from the bag, and was about to replace it, when he suddenly heard a vague "chichi" sound from the north slope of the mountain, which made his legs go weak with fright.

At this time, will anyone come to this ghost place?Shen Sanqiang resisted the violent trembling of his hands, replaced the battery of the miner's lamp, shone towards the place where the sound came from, and shouted: "Who is it? What are you doing?" On the northern slope of the mountain 500 meters away, a white figure in the shape of a human flickered, floating in the air and gradually dissipating.As the white shadow dissipated, the wild grass shook violently, and then a hoarse cry sounded. Such a strange scene completely broke through Shen San's psychological bottom line. Shen San threw away the miner's lamp, knelt on the ground, hugged the back of his head and shouted: "God, spare me, God, spare me!"

The hoarse cry seemed to be fading away, Shen San straightened up and found that he was not injured at all.Surprised still, Shen San fumbled to find his own miner's lamp, and shone towards the weird area.The moon was dark and the wind was high, and there was no movement at all. After all, he had worked in the tomb robbery industry for decades, so Shen San made up his mind, boldly pushed aside the weeds, and walked towards the north slope of the mountain. There are no people and no ghosts. On the northern slope of the mountain, there is a large area of ​​weeds and grass, which seems to be artificially overwhelmed.Where the light of the miner's lamp passes, you can see some small parts that don't know what to use.In the center of the part is a burnt explosive device.

"At this time, it was one o'clock in the morning today. Shen San didn't touch the device because there was no signal in the mountains. He walked for more than two hours on the mountain road before finding the mobile phone signal, and then reported the case." Captain Zhao said, "We We arrived at the scene after five o'clock, and after initial confirmation, it was indeed an explosive device." Everyone in the car was attracted by Captain Zhao's vivid description.After a few seconds of silence, I was the first to come back to my senses: "The grave robber will definitely not mistake the explosive device. What we are most concerned about now is, what are those hoarse calls?"

"Isn't there really a ghost?" Lin Tao was naive once in a while. "Talk about science!" Dabao said, "Well, don't look at what we do. But, Captain Zhao, don't you guys also know?" Captain Zhao smiled mysteriously: "What do you guess?" "Don't be a fool," I said before I got out of this suspected ghost story, "tell me!" "Actually, it's the sound of the car starting, and the sound of the car rolling over the grass." Captain Zhao said, "We found fresh tire marks through the site survey, and from the tire marks, we can see that the tires are more worn out. , should be a commercial vehicle."

"Does it make sense?" Lin Tao said, "Didn't you say that Jiling Mountain is next to the county road? Can the county road pass without cars?" Captain Zhao shook his head and said, "No, the east slope of Jiling Mountain is on the road, but the north slope is not on the road. Normally, cars will not drive to that location." "It's not urgent," I waved my hand, "How do you know it must be the sound of a car starting?" "Because I received a text message just now, and the car has been found." Captain Zhao looked at his phone and said, "Jiling Mountain is heading towards the county town, and a sunken car was found in a pond one kilometer away from the county town. Taxi. According to the degree of water immersion of the seat cushions in the car, it is preliminarily concluded that the car entered the water at three o'clock in the morning this morning. That is to say, the time of entry into the water was about two hours after Shen San heard the sound, which is just enough to drive from Jiling Mountain to The county seat."

"Hmm. When a person is highly nervous, it is indeed possible to hear the corresponding voice according to his imagination." I nodded, agreeing with Captain Zhao's judgment. A colleague once received a fraudulent call, saying that his son had been kidnapped, and asked him not to hang up the phone and directly remit the money to a certain account.Then, a shrill "Dad, save me" appeared in the background.I happened to meet a sensible person, communicated with him in writing in a timely manner, and then called his son to confirm that nothing happened, so I was not deceived.In that case, the colleague instinctively thought that the background sound was his son's voice.

"So there's a dead body in the taxi?" I asked. Captain Zhao frowned and said, "There is no body, it's an empty car." "Ghost car?" Lin Tao was confused again. I patted Lin Tao on the head: "Have you watched too many ghost movies? Obviously someone is destroying evidence." Lin Tao patted his chest with lingering fear: "I was shocked. Fortunately, it was discovered early, and there should be hope to extract any evidence." "Well," Dabao asked blankly, "There is no body, so why are we here?" Captain Zhao was born to be a storyteller, and when Dabao asked him, he began to talk eloquently again. After the local public security organ received the alarm, it rushed to the scene immediately. It was still dark at this time, and the police were afraid that the device would detonate and cause casualties, so they had to wait until dawn in the cold wind.After dawn, the EOD police and the police dog team arrived one after another to prevent this from being a case of terrorist activities waiting on the side of the road. The EOD police soon confirmed that it was a time bomb with little technical content, which could shatter tempered glass, but it might not kill people.Moreover, this is a bomb being tested, and the timer is not even connected.During the test, because the device was not completely closed, it changed from "firecracker" to "stab flower". Who would drive to this place to test a bomb?This is a question the police have been considering.Maybe it was just a prank, everyone comforted themselves like this. But the meritorious anti-explosive dog was restless, and kept barking at a rocky pit about 200 meters away from the explosive device. The trainer thought that his dog had convulsions, because the anti-explosive dog cannot bark after discovering the bomb, and the bomb is equipped with a voice control device.After smelling the bomb, the anti-explosive dog will sit down on the spot, indicating that there is a bomb here.But today, the dog kept barking, which attracted the attention of the head of the police station. After excavating this rocky pit, a corpse was discovered! "It's not like someone came here to bury the body and test the bomb by the way?" I asked. Captain Zhao shook his head and said, "The time of death cannot be determined." "Can't decide?" I looked puzzled, "Why can't you decide? At least you can estimate how many days you died?" Captain Zhao continued to shake his huge head: "I can't estimate it for a few days, because the body was sprinkled with salt." This is the first time I have seen the technique of sprinkling salt on a corpse in all my years as a police officer. It may be that in order to prevent the corpses from decomposing, some criminals used the method of pickling bacon to pickle the corpses, thinking that the corpses would not be corrupted, would not attract wild animals, and naturally would not be discovered.In fact, the premise of marinating bacon is to dry it in the sun. If you sprinkle salt and bury it without drying it, the moisture in the corpse will still be sufficient for the growth of putrefactive bacteria, and the corpse will still rot.But after all, there are external factors that interfere with the process of corpse decay, so it brings certain difficulties to the judgment of the time of death.Fortunately, we have the method taught by Master. As long as we find out the source of the corpse, when and what kind of food he ate before he disappeared, we can accurately calculate the time of his death. "Is the corpse badly decomposed?" I asked. "There is almost no corruption." Captain Zhao said, "Not even the corrupt vein network on the corpse." The venous network of corruption is a necessary stage before the corpse rots and green corpses appear. The veins will be clearly displayed on the skin and present a network shape.In the season of late winter and early spring like now, the corpse needs to be placed in the open air for three to four days before the rotting vein network can appear.If it is in the cold mountains, it will take longer. "What about the cornea?" I asked. "This," Chief Zhao is not a forensic doctor after all, he scratched his head and said, "I don't know." The time of death can also be inferred from the degree of corneal opacity, but because the time cannot be accurately determined, it is generally rarely used by grassroots forensic doctors. There are stories to listen to, time flies so fast, before we know it, it is already noon, and our car has already driven into the county. "Actually, I'm not very clear about the specific situation. After I found the body in the morning, I hurried to the provincial capital to pick you up," Captain Zhao said, "It all depends on their text messages to report to me." I smiled and said, "How about, let's get closer first and then go far away. Let's go and see the taxi salvaged next to the county seat, and leave Lin Tao there by the way, and then we go to the corpse scene." "Is it still valuable after being soaked in water?" Dabao said worriedly. "If you don't go and see, how do you know?" I knocked Dabao on the head. After a while, several police cars and a large number of onlookers appeared in front of me. I knew that the place to salvage the taxi had arrived. "You know what? It's a ghost car, no one drives it." "It is said that this car came out of Jiling Mountain." "I heard that when the car starts, it sounds like a ghost, it's frightening to death." "What kind of news is this? Let me tell you that the driver of this car is a female ghost in white." Listening to various versions of ghost stories about this taxi, I walked into the cordon with Lin Tao and Dabao, carrying my investigation box. In fact, it was an ordinary Geely taxi.The only difference is that it is soaked all over, dripping water constantly on the shore. Lin Tao put on his gloves, walked around the car, looked into the driver's cab with his head, and said, "Nothing unusual. The key is in the car, but it's turned off. It should be pushed into the water after parking." "Can fingerprints be mentioned on the butt of the car?" I quickly used the inspection light to shine a side light on the trunk lid of the car. Lin Tao shook his head: "I'm afraid the fingerprints are hopeless, after all, they have been soaked for so long." "That!" Dabao stammered when he got excited, "Look, look, look!" "What?" I walked towards Dabao. Dabao said, "There is blood in the car!" Lin Tao and I opened the door to observe the shape of the blood in the car.The bloodstains were mainly distributed in the co-pilot position. There was a large splattered bloodstain on the inside of the door frame on the right side. There were sheet-like bloodstains on the seat cushion, and the bloodstains flowed down in strips, forming a pool of blood on the seat cushion. "The amount of blood loss is not small." I said, "Looking at the shape of the splattered bloodstain, it is small and long, indicating that the speed of the blood splatter is very fast, which is a speed that ordinary arterial bloodstains cannot reach." Captain Zhao said, "Oh, preliminary examination of the body revealed that it was a gunshot wound." "Well, did the white smoke that Shen San saw come from the gun?" Dabao asked. I shook my head: "How is it possible? Soon after the white smoke came out, Shen San scared the murderer away, so how could the murderer have time to bury the body? I think the white smoke was formed when the bomb did not explode, and the body should have been before that." It was buried. When Shen San arrived at the scene, no taxis or people were found, which means that the body may have been buried here the day before, and the murderer came here specifically to test the bomb." Captain Zhao nodded in approval. "Why does this imprint look so familiar?" Lin Tao said suddenly. At the junction of the seat and the backrest of the co-pilot's cushion, there was a circular blood-stained imprint with a diameter of about one centimeter. The center of the imprint vaguely looked like a circle of wheat ears and a shield. "Fuck, police uniform!" Dabao shouted. "Indeed," Captain Zhao said, "The trousers of the corpse are the same police trousers as ours, and the imprint should be left by the buttons on the trousers." "Not necessarily." I said, "Whatever the police uniform is now, the other uniforms will be changed. For security guards, urban management, supervision, etc., the clothes can be fake, let alone a button." "However, combined with the gunshot wound, it is highly likely that it was the police." Lin Tao pursed his lips. "The deceased died in the co-pilot. Could it be that he committed suicide by drawing a gun while taking a taxi?" Dabao said. I gave Dabao a blank look: "Have you ever seen a person who committed suicide in a taxi, and then the taxi driver kindly buried him without reporting the crime?" "This taxi driver is suspected of committing a major crime," Lin Tao said. "His motive for committing the crime may be to grab a gun." I shone the light on the car window and said, "But if the taxi driver shot someone, why is there no blood on the car window and no bullet holes in the car window? Judging from the blood stains on the side of the window, the bullet should have penetrated the dead man's head. And the windows don't show signs of being replaced." "Stupid," Lin Tao gave me a blank look, "I opened the window." I looked at the car window again and said, "That's right, the bloodstains are scattered around the window, all around. It seems that it could only be shot through the window. But this will be troublesome, and the bullet can't be found." "But the bullet casings should still be in the car," Lin Tao said, "In this way, the characteristics of the bullets can be quickly detected, and we can find out which gun committed the crime." "Well," Captain Zhao said, "I'm going to make arrangements now. On the one hand, I'm looking for the taxi driver's information, and on the other hand, I'm looking for the source of the deceased who may be a policeman." "There is also a DNA test." I said, "The blood in the car and the DNA of the deceased must be done quickly. Lin Tao stays and carefully checks for any clues and physical evidence in the car. The most important thing is to find the bullet casings. Dabao and I There are still a few hours on the mountain road to go to the scene of the corpse." After eating some lunch in the car, we took a nap for a while, and with a violent bump, we arrived at the frightening and frightening Jiling Mountain in the legend. I raised my wrist and looked at my watch, because there was another light snow on the way, and the winding road was slippery, so the car drove a little slower, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. "It's been more than four hours," I said, "the DNA results should be almost the same?" "The results came out ten minutes ago," Captain Zhao said. "The blood on the car belonged to the deceased." "Well, I was killed on the co-pilot." I said, "Now it is highly suspected that the taxi driver snatched the gun and killed the man. However, the driver is really not clever in committing the crime. He sank his car in the pond like that. We won’t find out sooner or later? If we find the car, can we still not find the person?” "Hehe," Captain Zhao laughed dryly, "I think he was frightened by Shen San in Jiling Mountain, so he abandoned the car and fled. Now we are already doing our best to search for this driver." "Has his information been checked?" I asked. "Isn't that easy to check?" Team Zhao said, "Go to the taxi company and look up the information. The driver is Qi Xian, 32 years old, an orphan, unmarried. He walks alone every day and doesn't talk much. .Own operating license, own car. He usually drives the day shift or evening shift at will. When he is in good spirits, he drives the day shift and evening shift together. In short, he does not hand over the car to others. Everyone knows that he has no relatives or reasons, but they don’t know. What does he usually do after get off work for a living?" "What kind of business?" Dabao said angrily, half leaning on his seat, "It's guns and cannons, this is a rebellion." "So how has he been doing recently?" I asked. "No one has seen him for half a month," Captain Zhao said, "and he doesn't come to the company to check in. He is usually popular, so no one cares. The last time he saw him was the owner of a noodle restaurant in front of the taxi company. Said that Qi Xian ate a bowl of noodles here half a month ago." "For the past half month, I'm guessing they've been making bombs," Dabao said. On the north slope of Jiling Mountain, two groups of policemen were surrounding them.A group is still analyzing the characteristics of the bomb and the characteristics of the bomb parts. Looking at their expressions, they are at a loss. Surrounded by another group was a dead body. The corpse was very fresh, wearing a brown jacket, a black sweater with the word "police" on the chest, black police pants, and an open gun holster on the left waist.According to the local Chinese forensic doctor, he searched through the pockets of the corpse, but found no belongings except a bunch of keys. "Even without ID, his attire told us he was a police officer." I put on my gloves, looked at the corneal opacity of the deceased, and moved his shoulder joints, saying, "Look at the corruption , the relief of the rigor should have happened two days ago." "Well," the forensic doctor Hua nodded and said, "It may be that the murderer came to bury the body on the first night and test the bomb the next day." I shrugged my nose close to the corpse, and said, "It's strange, this corpse is not corrupt, why can I still smell the stench?" Forensic doctor Hua also sniffed the air and said, "Is it okay? It seems that my nose is not as good as yours. Is it because salt was sprinkled on the corpse, so it smells strange?" I shook my head and didn't speak any more. I clamped the skin tissue around the wound on the deceased's head with a hemostat and observed it. "There was a circular wound on the left temporal part of the deceased, and there were muzzle marks around it, which should be the entrance of contact shooting," I said, "There was a starburst wound on the right temporal part, which should be the exit of the bullet. The shot was indeed fired from the left side of the deceased, which is the driver's seat." "Well, where is your funeral home?" Dabao said, rubbing his hands and stamping his feet, "It's too cold here." Hua forensic doctor said: "Our place is a burial area, and there is no funeral home." "What about the dissecting room?" Dabao still didn't give up. I looked up at Dabao and said, "A forensic doctor must be able to withstand heat, cold, smell, and dirt. How can there be an anatomy room without a funeral home? Is it possible to build an anatomy room in the Public Security Bureau?" inside?" "Then where did you dissect the corpse?" Dabao looked puzzled. "We usually examine the corpse on the spot." Forensic Doctor Hua said with a shy smile, "and then buried it on the spot." "Is it like this in summer and winter?" Dabao had a reverent expression on his face. Doctor Hua nodded: "We are used to it." "Don't waste time, it will be dark in two more hours," I said, "hurry up the autopsy." Dabao looked around and found that there were no onlookers, so he was relieved, opened the investigation box, and took out the dissection tools. We put the body on a large piece of plastic sheeting, squatted down around the body, and prepared to start the examination.Forensic doctor Hua took out some shoe covers and said, "Put your shoes on. If you squat like this, blood will inevitably splash on your shoes." The weather was so cold that we had to work for a while, then stood up and stamped our feet to prevent our feet from freezing.As a person in the fat world, squatting for ten minutes is very painful, let alone squatting for several hours. After we shaved the dead man's hair, we cut the dead man's scalp, and then the three of us worked together to saw the dead man's skull with a manual saw. The power of the bullet does not lie in its penetrating ability, but because of its high-speed rotation, it will form an instantaneous cavity with a diameter more than ten times the diameter of the bullet around the ballistic trajectory.This cavity strongly squeezes the soft tissue around the ballistic trajectory, and then recovers. Such a shock will cause some soft and brittle parenchymal organs to rupture and bleed, causing a lethal force more than ten times stronger than the penetration of bullets. Affected by the instantaneous post-bullet cavity effect, the brain tissue around the ballistic trajectory of the deceased's brain was completely shattered, and there was massive hemorrhage in the subarachnoid space and brain parenchyma.The brainstem of the deceased was also affected, and the shape of the brain tissue in the medulla oblongata has disappeared, turning into a bag of "tofu dregs". "The deceased died quickly after being shot," I said. "The brainstem is located deep in the brain tissue. Once the brainstem is damaged, the central nervous system is damaged, and respiratory and circulatory functions are immediately lost." After carefully suturing the deceased's head, I changed the blade and prepared to continue dissecting the deceased's thoracic and abdominal cavity. "Well," Forensic Doctor Hua said, "do you want to open the chest and abdomen?" I looked puzzled, looked at Hua Forensic Doctor, and said, "What do you mean? Don't you usually open it?" "No," Physician Hua said shyly, "It's too cold, I'm afraid you can't stand it." "If you can't stand it, you have to see it," I said, opening the chest and abdomen cavity of the deceased, "Maybe we will find something." It was really hit by me.After the scalpel cut open the stomach of the deceased, a smell of alcohol came to the nostrils.I quickly stood up, raised my elbow and rubbed my nose. "Yeah," I said, "what a find." "What discovery?" Forensic Doctor Hua said. "Drinking." I said, "this will explain why this police officer was so easily stolen and shot in the head. Because of excessive drinking, he fell asleep in the taxi and was easily shot. Handed over the gun. Alas, self-inflicted crimes cannot live, the five prohibitions are not obeyed, and the gun is still carried after drinking, this is digging one's own grave." "But," Hua said, "this man's gun holster is hidden under his coat. How do ordinary taxi drivers know that he is carrying a gun?" I shook my head, also expressed my puzzlement, and said, "Even if he fell asleep in the car, the taxi driver shouldn't be able to see it. Maybe the taxi driver knows the policeman and knows that he is carrying a gun?" Everyone is bowing their heads and thinking. After analyzing the stomach contents of the deceased, I said: "The deceased drank alcohol and was full, and he should have been killed five hours after the last meal. That is to say, if the deceased ate at six or seven in the normal time, then he was killed at night. He was killed at 11 or 12 o'clock. What did the deceased do during the intervening hours?" "It must have been the second drink." Forensic doctor Hua said, "If the deceased drank at dinner, then after five hours, the alcohol taste in the stomach would not be so strong. The only possibility is that he went to the hospital again after dinner." Drinking." "It's really more popular than people," Dabao said. "Our dinner is probably braised noodles again, and the second round should be instant noodles." I picked out a small particle in the stomach of the deceased with a hemostat, pinched it on the glove, and said, "Forensic doctor Hua guessed it right. This thing is pistachio. It is impossible to have pistachio for dinner. So, very Maybe it’s because I went to drink and karaoke.” "Anyway, the deceased died two days ago," Dabao said. "Once the source of the corpse is found, it will be easy to find out the situation. How about we start sewing?" I nodded and said, "You guys sew." I straightened up with difficulty and stomped my feet desperately, as if my feet were completely numb.I took off my dissecting suit, walked to the stone pit where the body was excavated, and squatted down to watch. Dabao and Hua forensic doctor sewed up the corpse, walked up to me and said, "Otherwise, shall we go back to the county seat?" I shook my head and said, "When I was dissecting a corpse, I always felt that I could smell a stench. It wasn't from this corpse. Just now, when I walked to the side of this pit, I felt that the stench became more obvious." Dabao sniffed and said, "Don't tell me, I seem to have smelled it too." "Besides," I said, "is this mountain a stone mountain or a dirt mountain?" Forensic doctor Hua called the village head who had been on the sidelines as a witness for the on-site investigation. The village head said, "This side is all stone slurry layer, and the bottom of the stone slurry layer is soil." "We saw that there were small broken stones around the pit where the corpse was buried, even at the bottom of the pit." I picked up a stone and smashed it into the bottom of the pit, and said, "But the corpse was covered with stones and soil. This Earth, where did it come from?" "You mean, there's something at the bottom of the pit?" Dabao said with his eyes wide open, "Someone dug a pit that reached the soil layer, so the depth of this pit shouldn't be just this shallow, it should be deeper?" I nodded. Impatient, Dabao immediately picked up a shovel from his side and said, "Let me dig." I stopped Dabao and said, "If there is a bomb underneath, you dig it, and we are all finished." I called my colleagues from the bomb disposal team and checked with a metal detector to make sure that the bottom of the pit was not a bomb. Then I started digging the pit with Dabao and Hua forensic doctor. After a few shovels of digging, we found something.As the stench became more and more obvious, a green human hand was exposed from the soil at the bottom of the pit. We all exclaimed, and the village head beside us squatted down and covered our eyes in fright. "I think," I said, "it's definitely not a coincidence." "It's not a coincidence, it's not a coincidence," the village head said, covering his eyes, "No one will be buried here. The cemetery is on the western slope of the mountain." Our exclamation attracted another group of colleagues from the bomb disposal team. Everyone picked up a shovel and worked together to dig out a moderately corrupt corpse. I shook the corpse's clothes to shake off the dust stained on them, revealing a suit of work clothes. While wiping the dust off the face of the corpse, I asked Captain Zhao for a photo of the suspect—taxi driver Qi Xian. I looked at it and said, "Why are you looking for Qi Xian? Qi Xian is lying here." "This corpse is Qi Xian?" Captain Zhao hurried over and compared the photos. "Hey, who is this criminal," Dabao said, "Kill them both?" "No," I shook my head and said, "Looking at the level of corruption, Qi Xian has been dead for about half a month, while that policeman has only been dead for two days." "That is to say, Qi Xian died first, and it wasn't Qi Xian who killed the policeman?" Captain Zhao said. "That's right," I said, "I guess, this should be a case of robbing and killing a taxi driver first, and then pretending to be a taxi driver to rob and kill a policeman." Captain Zhao said "oh", his eyes were full of confusion.The case reached a stalemate again in an instant, and the clues were cut off. I don't know where to start the investigation. At this time, night had fallen, and the other party's features could not be seen clearly at a distance of three meters.Forensic doctor Hua looked at the sky and said, "But what should we do now? I mean what should we do with the corpse?" "What else can I do?" I spread my hands and said, "Put on the dissecting suit and continue working." "But," the forensic doctor Hua looked puzzled, "it's more than ten degrees Celsius below zero at night in this mountain. We might not be able to bear it if we squat here for a few hours. Besides, there are wild beasts in the mountain." As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to hear the howling of wild animals in the mountains in the distance. I smiled and said, "Otherwise, what should we do? Let the corpse lie here for another night, or you use a police car to take the corpse back to the county town?" Forensic doctor Hua shook his head, obviously neither of the two explanations was possible. I said: "That's it. Since there is no other way, I have to work overnight. Besides, with so many people, do the beasts dare to come? When they come, they will be sent to us for supper." Together with Dabao, I lifted the body to the side of the investigation vehicle with plastic sheets, and then asked Captain Zhao to climb to the roof and set up the inspection lights on the roof.With the roar of the on-board generator, the survey lights shot out two bright lights. "Look," I clapped my hands and said, "This newly equipped survey vehicle is a cow. It's simply a searchlight. It's better than daytime light." "Hurry up," Captain Zhao said, "The oil in the car, in addition to what you need to go back, can only support the generator for three hours." "Three hours is enough." I pointed to a few police cars next to the survey vehicle, and said, "Please leave two people and one car waiting for us for a while. Anyway, we also have an extra mobile refueling truck, just in case one." "Maybe he can help us have a supper." Dabao added. Qi Xian was strangled to death by others, and salt was sprinkled all over his body. We found signs of suffocation from Qi Xian's eyelid conjunctiva, nails, lips and other parts, and we can confirm that Qi Xian died of mechanical suffocation.After cutting open Qi Xian's neck, it was found that there was a deep groove in the skin of the neck. The groove was horizontal and lifted at the back of the neck, indicating that the murderer strangled the deceased with a belt-shaped object in the back seat. neck.The rope ditch is wider than the general strangled rope ditch, and it seems that the murderous object is not a rope, but a soft ribbon.There is a large amount of skin peeling off around the cable ditch, which not only proves that this is an injury during life, but also proves that the deceased had undergone intense struggle before death. The stench of the dead body mixed with the taste of coarse salt made it difficult to suppress the tumbling in the stomach in the cold air. "Why does this murderer like to sprinkle salt on the corpse?" Dabao said, "It seems that he likes to eat cured meat, but he doesn't know how to cook it." I didn't answer, but I agreed with Dabao's inference in my heart.I opened the cranial cavity, chest cavity, and abdominal cavity of the deceased in turn, and found that the internal organs of the deceased were bleeding, and there were obvious bleeding points, and the petrous part of the temporal bone was bleeding, which also confirmed that the deceased died of strangulation before his death. "That, that," Dabao opened his mouth, and a puff of white air came out, "It's almost there? I didn't expect it to be so cold in the mountains at night. I froze to death!" Hua forensic doctor sewed up the last stitch with his hands shivering from the cold, and said, "Let's work together! Let's put the corpse in the pit first and cover it with plastic film. I have already contacted you, and tomorrow the city will The funeral home will come to take the body back to freeze. After the family of the deceased comes to claim it, they will decide whether to cremate or bury it.” "Is someone from the funeral home in the city coming?" I raised my sleeve and wiped the running nose, but since the dissection suit was made of plastic, there was no way to wipe it off. The nose dried and solidified on my lips, and I couldn't even speak. It's not easy.I said, "That's really good, I've come all this way." "Tch, do you think you are Lei Feng in the new era?" Hua Forensic Doctor said disdainfully, "The bureau spent a lot of money, and the director personally begged them, and finally agreed to come during the day. You said that they all serve the people. How can there be such a big gap between people?" I smiled, took Qi Xian's hands, and looked at the light of the survey lamp. "Well, what are you still... are you looking at?" Dabao took a breath, hugged into a ball and stomped beside me. "I'm thinking," I wiped my nose and said, "Even if the person who robbed the taxi is caught, it can't be proved that he killed Qi Xian, after all, the taxi has been destroyed." "Why can't it be proved?" Forensic doctor Hua said, "If the murderer hid the policeman's gun, it would be good evidence. He used this taxi to rob the policeman, so he got the gun. Where did he get the taxi?" What about it? You can only come if you rob and kill a taxi driver." "What if he said that the taxi was picked up?" I said, "After all, there is no way to prove that Qi Xian was killed in the car. It can only prove that the policeman was killed in the car." "Isn't that nonsense?" Physician Hua said. "Once the lawyer intervenes, it's hard to say anything, so we have to solidify the chain of evidence." I was still looking at Qi Xian's hands. "A text message came from the bureau," said Captain Zhao, who had been with us all the time and jumped around us like a rabbit. "The murderer's DNA may be extracted from the explosive device, because a part may have pierced the murderer's body." finger." "Then why didn't you say it earlier?" Dabao said, "I'm freezing to death." I said: "DNA can only prove that the murderer came here, that he was testing a bomb, that he drove the taxi involved in the case and left the scene, but it cannot prove that he killed the taxi driver." "I think it can be proved." Dabao said, "It can't be that someone killed Qi Xian, buried here, and then abandoned the car, and then the murderer used a taxi to rob the police, and was buried in the same pit, right? The key is to sprinkle salt on the corpses, which is really unique. Is there such a coincidence in the world?" "The lawyer will say yes." I said, "Stop talking nonsense, cut off the dead man's nails, and do a micro-evidence test." Doctor Hua also leaned over to look at Qi Xian's hand, and said, "Did you find anything?" I nodded: "There is some fluffy substance in the nails. The deceased struggled violently before death, and his hands were not constrained, so out of instinct, the deceased would use both hands to grab the rope buckle that strangled his neck. If the rope If there is a fluffy substance on the buckle, it can be identified as the same as that in the nail of the deceased." After briefly burying the body, I slowly took off my dissecting suit.发现一向话多的大宝已经冷场了，脸色煞白地站在我身边。大宝的鼻涕已经被冻成了冰凌挂在鼻尖，像是鼻子长长了一般。 我掰掉大宝鼻尖的冰，说：“你，没事儿吧？” 大宝摇了摇头，二话没说转头跑进开着空调、温暖的勘查车里，不断地搓着手。 第二天一早，大宝恢复了元气，我却重感冒了。 在去专案组的路上，大宝一直在嘲笑我身体虚胖，连这点儿风寒都抵抗不住。我则白了他一眼，说不知道昨晚是谁的鼻子还长了一截。 林涛一脸兴奋地在专案组里等着我们。 “齐贤死于机械性窒息，凶手从背后施暴，凶器可能是上面有绒毛的带状物体。”我说，“那个警察应该是在晚饭后又去喝酒K歌，喝多了，在出租车上睡着了，然后被凶手偷走枪后杀害。” “现在应该从哪里查起？”县公安局长被省厅抽调去办一起专案，所以主持专案会议的是分管公安的副县长。他一进屋就摆出一脸傲气，慢吞吞地扫了所有人一遍。 “很容易，”赵大队长似乎对这个不懂公安业务的副县长不太待见，说，“查到这个警察的尸源，一切迎刃而解。我们已经查了，这个警察肯定不是我们县局的人。” “怎么解？”副县长听出了赵大队长的言外之意，“就算查到人，你能查出他最后坐的是哪辆出租车吗？” “我们有我们的办法。”赵大队长有些底气不足。 “尸源很快能够有结果，”林涛打破了尴尬的气氛，说，“我们在出租车里不仅找到了除两名死者外第三个男性的DNA，而且找到了弹壳。根据弹壳分析，这把枪是建了档案的，是邻居山北省公安的枪支。具体是谁的枪，已经让人去查了，估计过一会儿就能有结果。” “好样的！”副县长扬着眉毛说，“不过山北最近的县东桥县距离我们也有三百多公里呀！是这个警察来我们这里腐败，还是凶手到东桥县去作案呢？” 林涛耸了耸肩膀，说：“查到尸源，应该就知道了吧。” “这个第三人的DNA血迹是在方向盘上发现的，和爆炸物上黏附的血迹属同一人。”县公安局技术队主任说，“这应该是凶手的血。另外，秦科长送给我们的死者指甲内的微量物证，经检验，应该是羊毛物质。” 县局情报科的一个年轻女警突然推开专案组的门，冒冒失失地闯了进来，发现大家都疑惑地看着她，顿时涨红了脸。 “怎么一点儿没规矩？”赵大队长说。 “有……有……有进展。”女警上气不接下气地说。 “着什么急？”赵大队长说，“有话好好说。” 女警咽了口唾沫，说：“尸源找到了，是东桥县公安局城关派出所的所长冯强。” “他最近有出差任务吗？”赵大队长最关心作案地点。 “确定没有，失踪前一直在东桥县，前两天和几个当地老板去KTV以后就失踪了。”女警说。 “看来这个凶手不简单啊，拉尸几百公里来掩埋。”赵大队长说。 我喝了口水，说：“不奇怪。很多犯罪分子都会找自己熟悉的地方埋尸，这样可以找到他们内心所需的安全感。” “能从城市监控上发现一些什么吗？”副县长急于表现他发展城市监控的政绩。 “这些工作早做了，”赵大队长说，“摄像头性能差，夜间无法看清车牌号码。” 县长张了张嘴，最终没出声。 “我们的工作组已经赶赴东桥，在KTV的监控中可能有一些线索。”女警补充道，“工作组请示专案组，你们还要不要去人？” 赵大队长看看我，征求我的意见。 我摇了摇头，说：“既然犯罪分子熟悉咱们这边的地理环境，而且他先劫杀我们这边的出租车司机以获取车辆，说明他应该是我们这边的人。所以，我觉得我们留下来等消息比较好。一旦有了嫌疑人，还可以搜查他的家里。” 赵大队长点头应允，副县长宣布散会，大家都收起笔记本，回到自己的岗位，焦急地等待着赶赴东桥县的工作组传回好消息。 我坐在宾馆里的电脑前，翻看着本案的照片。突然，出租车座椅上的圆形警徽印迹引起了我的强烈兴趣。我将图片放大，颠来倒去地观察，总感觉有一丝熟悉的味道。 突然，感冒得晕晕乎乎的脑子里闪出了一盏明灯，我迫不及待地插上U盘，打开了“云泰案”全案资料。 我盯着电脑屏幕，将“云泰案”的几起案件照片逐一在眼前翻过。我的记忆里，总感觉好像在哪里看到过类似的圆形印迹，难不成今天能成为“云泰案”告破的一天？ 一动不动地翻了整整三个小时，脑子里的那张照片终于被我找到了。 这是发生在三年前的那起女学生被杀害后奸尸案件现场的照片，受害女学生的身旁，有一个新鲜的臀印，经现场痕迹比对，排除了是女学生的臀印。由于这个臀印并没有什么特异性特征，所以一直未被重视。当初我翻看本案照片时，就隐约觉得臀印的边缘有一个印迹，但是没有去图片处理，所以只留下了个印象。 我叫来了县局公安图像处理的专业人员，只用了不到一个小时的时间，就把这张图片臀印的边缘处理清楚了十倍。那就是一个警服纽扣的印迹！ 我高兴得有些手足无措，摸索出了手机，拨通了黄支队的电话：“师兄，师兄，我发现'云泰案'的一个重大线索！绝对重大的线索！” 黄支队在开会，压低了声音问：“什么线索？” “我发现一个印迹，可以判断凶手是穿警裤的人。”我说。 “警察？”黄支队惊讶地问道。 “不一定，也有可能是保安啊、城管啊什么的，”我说，“凡是穿仿制警服的制服的职业，都有可能。” 黄支队安静了一会儿，接着说：“那有什么用？我们现在一点儿头绪都没有，管他什么职业，只要有嫌疑都拉来做DNA检验了。另外，你敢拍板说除了穿制服的职业，都不用排查了吗？” 黄支队一语中的，我失了声。确实，假如凶手有什么亲戚朋友是相关职业的，多余的裤子给他穿了呢？总之还是应该以DNA检验为前提。 我说：“说的也是，那你们继续摸吧，但我觉得应该有重点地去找。” “知道了。”黄支队挂断了电话。 我仰面躺在床上，看着天花板。这个恶魔，什么时候才能伏法呢？ 晚饭的时间，我走到楼下餐厅吃自助餐。刚咽了两口，手机就响了起来，我预感是个好消息！ “吃了吗？”赵大队长问。 “唔唔，在吃。”我使劲儿往嘴里塞东西，我知道马上要赶去专案组了。 “案件有重大突破，十分钟后专案组紧急开会。” 案件确实取得了重大突破，这使我不得不感叹侦查员们的高效率。 通过对东桥县盈皇KTV监控录像的调取，发现三天前，也就是冯强死亡的那天晚上，他和一个陌生男子发生了一些纠纷。 从监控录像的画面中可以看到，冯强和一个陌生男子在拉扯一个DJ公主，一群服务员在拉偏架，明显偏向于冯强。陌生男子踹了冯强一脚，冯强显然是喝多了，随即倒地。随后，冯强从地上爬起，从腰间掏出手枪，指着陌生男子的头。最终，是陌生男子跪地妥协，离开了KTV。 “其实视频监控已经看得很清楚了。”赵大队长说，“从调查得知，冯强当天晚上和几个生意人去KTV消费，要求某一个DJ公主来陪酒，而此时这个公主正在陪这个陌生男人。于是冯强就到这个陌生男人的包房里抢人，发生了如下纠纷。” “这个陌生男人是一个人去消费的？”我问。 赵大队长点了点头，说：“就他一个人。” “不会是这个公主的情人吧？”我问。 “这个公主矢口否认，我们正在审查。”赵大队长说。 “这哪是个警察，简直就是个恶霸。”大宝一脸鄙夷，“死有余辜。” “总之，”赵大队长说，“视频中的这个男人，有重大作案嫌疑。我们从监控中获取了他清晰的正面照片，目前正在查他的身份，如果他是我们县的人，就可以肯定凶手是他了。” “这个排查也不是那么容易的吧？你们找得到吗？”副县长的口气里仿佛有一些轻蔑。 赵大队长没有吭声。 我也被副县长的这种姿态激怒了，我说：“我觉得我们很快可以找到这个人的行踪。” 包括赵大队长在内，所有人都惊讶地看着我。 我顿了顿，整理了一下思路，说：“凶手选择冯强可以说存在偶然性，没有目标性，但是选择齐贤必然是有目标性的。” “为什么这么说？”赵大队长也在思考。 我说：“你们想，凶手是杀害齐贤将近半个月后才去东桥杀害冯强的。如果齐贤是有家眷的，家眷在齐贤以及他的出租车失踪了以后会立即报案，那么这个凶手还敢这样逍遥自在地开着抢来的出租车在县城里或者是在县城到东桥县之间往来吗？” “是啊，”赵大队长说，“如果齐贤有家属，我们接到报案，交警部门早就找到这辆没有经过任何伪装的出租车了。” “换句话说，”我说，“凶手应该非常了解齐贤的情况，他知道即便齐贤失踪，也没有家人朋友会去找他，所以他才敢这样大摇大摆地开着他的车到处窜。” “明白了，”大宝打断我的话，说，“你是说，凶手可能不认识冯强，但是一定认识齐贤，而且对齐贤的情况了如指掌。” 我点了点头，说：“齐贤是宅男，一般不和人打交道，那么他认识别人最有可能的地方，就是那个他每天会去吃饭的面馆。” “好想法！”赵大队长瞥了一眼副县长，昂着头说，“我们只需要把这张照片给面馆老板看看，说不准就有线索了，你说对吗？” 我没有回答，看了眼正在低头喝茶的副县长，心想，你以后还敢再小瞧我们刑警吗？ “还有，别忘了，”大宝怕我们忽略了他的发现，“这个凶手很有可能是个喜欢吃腌肉，但又不会制作腌肉的人。在尸体上撒盐，这一手段还是极少遇见的。” 事情比想象中更加顺利，面馆老板只看了一眼，便认出照片中的这个人是住在出租车公司旁边小区的葛猛猛。 我们顺道就对葛猛猛的住处进行了搜查，不仅找到了制作炸弹的原料和工具，还秘密获取了葛猛猛的DNA。 最重要的，我们在葛猛猛的写字台上发现了一张地图。这是一张东桥县全图，地图上用红笔圈出了几处。 “幸亏我们破案及时啊！”赵大队长惊呼道，“这家伙，是要去抢银行！” 我以为自己会目睹一场枪战，可惜现实没有电影上那么精彩。当晚，侦查人员趁葛猛猛在家熟睡之机，悄悄打开他的家门，将他擒获在自己家的床上。 葛猛猛甚至在被戴上手铐之前的那一刹那，还在幸福地打着鼾。 葛猛猛是东桥县人，五年前来本县打工，却不慎染上了毒瘾。 一旦染上毒瘾，就像是被接上了一个永不停止的吸血机，数年的积蓄很快被用光，葛猛猛只有动起了歪点子。 他按照一些教科书上的方法，慢慢收集制作炸弹所需的各种材料和工具。 同时，他劫杀了在面馆里认识的齐贤，抢劫他的出租车作为抢劫银行的交通工具。 在制作完成炸弹后，他驾车前往东桥县各银行踩点。踩点过程中，突然燃起一丝欲火，所以他决定去那一家不太正规的KTV里找些乐子。 没料，他遇上了地头蛇——冯强。 表面上看，葛猛猛跪地求饶算是输了，但是没人知道葛猛猛这个时候有多么开心。他觉得是老天在帮他，他要去抢劫银行，除了有一枚能炸碎防弹玻璃的炸弹以外，他还需要一把枪。 葛猛猛从KTV出来，开着劫来的出租车隐蔽在门口。直到看到冯强摇摇晃晃地走了出来，赶紧戴上大耳帽，把出租车开到冯强的身侧。 冯强就这样毫无察觉地上了贼车，还在贼车上呼呼大睡。当然，他也就这样在自己的美梦中结束了生命。 就如大宝所言，葛猛猛确实是一个无肉不欢的人，面馆里的香肠、腌肉是他每顿必点的美食。他埋葬尸体之前，给尸体上撒满盐块的目的，也就是想让尸体像香肠、火腿那样不会腐败，不被发现。只要熬到他抢劫银行成功的那一天，谁也抓不到他了。 如果不是盗墓的沈三鬼使神差碰见葛猛猛，这个瘾君子的计划就会继续进行。他会重新研制炸弹，而东桥县的公安会像无头苍蝇一样寻找失踪的所长，以及所长的枪。 “我觉得吧，”林涛在返程的车上说，“齐贤真的蛮悲剧的，老老实实的一个男人，好不容易认识一个朋友，居然还被这个朋友杀了。” 我笑了笑，说：“交友不慎啊。我也是交友不慎，你俩怎么还不去考驾照？” “那个所长更是可恶，”大宝说，“怪不得警察的口碑不好，都是这些渣滓影响了我们的形象。我们破一百起案子积累的形象，被他们一顿霸王餐就毁灭殆尽了。” “到哪一天，所有的警察都不利欲熏心，”我叹了口气，说，“所有的警察都能真的做到一心为民，这个社会才会真的安定。不发牢骚了，做好我们自己吧！”
