Chapter 12 Chapter Twelve

It’s past time for lunch when I returned to the office. When I learned that the Chinese canteen serves chicken stewed mushrooms, Xiao Rui’s expression was filled with pain—her favorite is chicken stewed mushrooms. For vegetables, she will come here all the way.Xiao Rui had no choice but to take two packs of instant noodles and walk to Weicheng's laboratory (there is an electric stove in Weicheng), while sighing.Unexpectedly, misfortunes never come singly, the case discussion meeting is about to begin before the noodles are cooked. There was only one victim in this case, and it was not considered a "major" criminal case. The people who attended the meeting were basically people from the bureau. Although the scale was not as grand as some cases where experts from the province sat in a long row, it was still The atmosphere is definitely serious.In view of the panic caused by the continuous murder and mutilation of corpses, Wang Ju personally supervised the handling of the case.

The results of the various surveys are summarized here.Neighbors reported that Xiaoying heard some noise around 11:00 p.m. on the second day after her husband left, but no one cared about it at the time, and I didn’t see Xiaoying afterwards; I am making comparisons with Xiaoying's family and Xiaoying herself; from Xiaoying's husband's later confession, I learned that a sum of money may have been stolen from Xiaoying's family. The amount is not large, about three or four hundred yuan. I was listening to the speech carefully, and out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that Weicheng, who was sitting next to me, twitched his nose a few times.I subconsciously also smelled the smell in the air, and found a strong burnt smell spreading rapidly.

It's broken, I immediately winked at Xiao Rui who was opposite, but this guy lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. I winked a few times and she didn't see it, so I had to kick her hard under the table.This guy didn't understand what was going on, so I covered my mouth with my hand and made a "fuzzy" mouth shape to her, and she woke up in shock and trot out of the conference room. This episode brought rare relief to everyone. Only Wang Ju remained calm and coughed for everyone to continue speaking. However, I guess his intestines are also knotting rapidly.

Everyone's intuition was similar to mine, and they all felt that it was unlikely that Xiaoying's husband committed the crime.Xiaoying's husband is a very smart person, even if he wants to kill Xiaoying, he can take it by surprise. It seems that there is no need to make such a big noise, and the long-distance bus driver also confirmed that Xiaoying's husband did leave the town by car.If it is said that the crime was committed on the run, it can only be described as too coincidental: first, the murderer had to come just when Xiaoying's husband had just left the house; second, Xiaoying had to open the door unpreparedly. It is not very likely for women at home. They are always very nervous and pay attention to their own safety at this time.

In this way, the detection force is concentrated on people who have criminal records in the nearby area, especially those who have been short of money recently because of drug abuse and gambling.Xiao Zhu knows the situation best, and he provided us with a few eligible candidates for investigation. There is nothing to do with our technical squadron for the time being, and it is time for us to appear on the stage until the criminal police have gained something.As I said just now, there should be blood on the pants worn by the suspect when he committed the crime. Even after washing, we can still detect it through chemical methods.There is also fingerprints. Among these two items, if any one is confirmed, the suspect can be crucified.

Back in the forensic room, Xiao Rui was desperately scrubbing the stained stainless steel bowl with annoyed expression on her face.I intend to liven up the atmosphere, and deliberately asked: "Have you added eggs to the noodles?" "How do you know?" Xiao Rui was really attracted by my question. "How can the smell of burnt protein be the same as starch, haha, it's even forensic!" I laughed out loud. Glancing at the notebook spread out on Xiao Rui's desk, I suddenly understood what Xiao Rui was doing with her head down. She drew a cartoon for Wang Ju. dress up.I bent over laughing.What a pistachio, we don't know how boring it would be without Xiaorui.

Within three days, the matter came to fruition. A habitual offender who had been imprisoned for theft for several years came into our sight. Several years ago, before he was in prison, his wife divorced him because of his bad habit of stealing chickens and dogs. It is said that recently he played mahjong very hard and lost badly.He was still at the mahjong table when we found him. This guy has been fighting for a day and a night. People without wives are pitiful, not to mention that the house is like a kennel, even the bloody trousers were just rubbed by him and thrown at the foot of the bed.This time he was caught right, and he was formally arrested as soon as the comparison result was confirmed, but something went wrong in the subsequent interrogation. He said that he had no time to commit the crime and that he was playing mahjong when Xiaoying was killed.This is a very good reason. At least three witnesses confirmed that he was indeed playing mahjong that day, and he firmly insisted that the blood on his pants was splashed when he watched a pig slaughter a few days ago.

The pre-trial comrades were in a hurry, and came to ask if there was something wrong with our experiment, or if the time of death was wrong. I can understand why he is anxious.Arresting is no joke. It has strict procedures. In addition to the Public Security Bureau, it must also be approved by the Procuratorate. Once the wrong person is arrested, it is definitely not something that can be done with just a few haha.But it is never so easy to let go. If you put it wrong, it is easier to let go than to catch a tiger.The embarrassment of this up and down can be imagined. But I'm not that worried. The guy said that the blood on his pants is from a pig and he can only coax ghosts. The blood on his pants matches the dna of Xiaoying's hair follicles by more than 99%. It was incredible to suddenly see a person who looked exactly like himself on the street.

Even if this is the case, the case must not leave such a big doubt about the time of committing the crime, otherwise, it is very likely that the procuratorate will call it back; or the suspect will be released in court due to insufficient evidence.Letting the suspect go unpunished, he may bite back and demand compensation from the state at any time. At that point, it will be considered bad luck. I believe that the murderer is him, but I also believe that the pre-trial colleagues are not mistaken.Killing and dismembering corpses cannot be done in three to five minutes. If he goes out halfway to kill and dismember corpses, the people who play mahjong with him may not know about it.How can this be explained?I have no idea.

It seems that we have broken the big picture set by God, but we didn't expect him to set up a small game in it. It's really not as good as the sky, I said with emotion. How to break the game?I was momentarily at a loss. I don't know what's going on, I was running on the treadmill that day, and suddenly I had an idea. An hour later, Xiao Rui and I arrived at the door of Xiaoying's house.I took off the watch and handed it to Xiao Rui, said "time!" and started running. The roads in the countryside are uneven, and running is a bit strenuous. Anyone who has experienced jogging knows that adjusting the pace is more wasteful than running. If the road is uneven, you have to adjust the pace and frequency at any time, so when I came back, I had a scar on my forehead. A fine layer of sweat beads.

Xiao Rui didn't understand what I was doing, so she asked with a smile, "Brother Hao, why did you come here to exercise today?" "Go, how long did it take?" I asked. "A little over 6 minutes." "Yeah." I immediately smiled and took the watch back. Xiao Rui seemed to understand suddenly: "You mean—" Before she could finish speaking, I interrupted her with a wave of my hand.There's no evidence yet, and it's too early to tell. After I went back, I immediately asked the pre-trial comrades to investigate whether the suspect had gone to the bathroom or went out for other reasons during the mahjong game that day.I believe that no one will remember this wrongly. The feeling of missing one is not so good. The results of the investigation came out in the afternoon, and this guy really said that he went to the bathroom for a while during the poker game, about ten minutes.The pre-trial comrades joked that I was a fortune teller in my previous life, and I could even tell when others went to the bathroom. At this time, my interest came, and I said everything: "What about going to the bathroom? This guy has gone to kill people. He has a lot of addictions. After killing people and grabbing money, he went back and gambled on it." "That ten minutes is not enough to kill and dismember the body?" The pre-trial comrades were still puzzled. "Who said killing and dismembering have to go together?" I paused and took a sip of water. "This guy kills first, and after playing cards, he thinks more and more wrong before going to dismember the corpse. Look, there are not many places to dismember the corpse." Blood, this shows that there is a time gap between killing and dismembering the body." "Then no one will notice the blood on his pants?" Xiao Rui asked. "Didn't you see the oil dripping from the steamed buns on my pants after I ate this morning?" I immediately replied, "The incandescent lights in the place where the cards are played are not powerful, and the rural voltage may not be very stable, and the lighting effect is not very good. It’s too late for everyone to see him come back and play cards in a hurry, so maybe no one pays attention to his pants.” "We have done absolutely nothing wrong with the dna, just to be on the safe side, please send it to the superior for another review." I said to the pre-trial comrades. Before the results of the re-examination came out, the suspect bowed his head in front of the evidence we had.According to his own account, he just thought that Xiaoying was a talkative woman and planned to borrow money, but because Xiaoying refused, he became murderous. The case was solved, and Xiaorui and I got serious instead.As long as there is a sliver of reason, everyone will think that it is not worth killing people for more than 300 yuan, but there is no reason for people who gamble with jealousy.The moment he raised the knife, he had actually degenerated from a "person" to a "demon". Having practiced medicine for many years, we are terrified of the words "gambling" and "drug" and avoid them as much as possible. With the case solved, there is no need to preserve Xiaoying's body.On the day of the cremation, Xiaoying's children also came.This is the first time I saw him, his eyes are very beautiful, like my father. There is a simple farewell ceremony before the cremation.I notified the funeral home in advance to move the body out of the freezer. It is obvious that it has not fully recovered, and there are still some drops of condensation hanging on the cold body.Xiaoying's husband held back his grief and bowed respectfully a few times, and the crying of the surrounding family members became one. This situation made me sad, and I began to question whether my work was really meaningful. Even if the case was solved, I could not downplay their pain, let alone save a life. The four or five-year-old child didn't understand this. After kowtowing, he walked hesitantly to the cart where the body was placed, and stretched out his little hand to touch his mother's arm.The coldness of the dead body was completely beyond his expectation, which made him a little anxious. He lifted up his mother's arm vigorously, and added the other hand when he couldn't do it with one hand. He raised it a little higher, but when he let go, he fell down again.This situation surprised him inexplicably. He didn't understand what happened, why his mother was different from before, why she ignored him.Annoyed, he raised his mother's arm again, and when he let go, he dropped it again. This made him lose his temper, and he repeatedly raised his mother's arm, but he was unwilling to accept the fact that his mother did not move at all. . "What happened to Mom? How did she become like this?" the child asked innocently, "Why doesn't she play with me?" I turned my face away and couldn't bear to watch it any longer.When I walked out, my eye circles were a little red, and I quickly took out my sunglasses to cover myself.The moment I stepped out of the cold funeral home, I felt really good, because the sun outside was still so bright.
