Chapter 20 2. The case was solved wickedly

Lao Song said that in the case of Longtan Lake, at first he wanted to find out some clues from the residue at the scene, but the criminal was very clean, and the travel bag was new, and it was a kind that could be bought anywhere, so it was difficult to investigate. There are no clues such as surgical scars on the remains of the corpse, so what should we do at this point? Captain Song said, what else can we do?As Chairman Mao said, follow the mass line. Before realizing the electronicization of equipment, one of the magic weapons used by the Beijing police to solve crimes was the "mass line".

The so-called "mass line" is to visit the residents and floating population around the scene of the crime, and search for possible clues from their mouths. People in those days were very curious and liked to provide clues to the police.But the masters at the root of this imperial city are the most talkative, masters like Mr. Hou Yaohua can marry a zoo orangutan to an elephant. Of course everyone around Longtan Lake doesn't have the ability, but it's still easy to fool the police.As a result, the scouts were bombarded with all kinds of gossip information in just one day of investigation, including the information that the old man watching the bicycle peeped into the women's toilet 30 years ago.

It can be seen from this that every criminal policeman actually has the ability to run a gossip edition of a newspaper, but most police comrades concentrate on their own work and are unwilling to do it. However, too much information can be desensitizing, and much information is eye-catching but turns out to be worthless. Lao Song was in a hurry. In terms of this kind of murder, the closer it is to the crime, the easier it is to find valuable clues.If you still can't enter the door in three days, whether you can solve the case or not depends mostly on God's will. The captain simply sat there and filtered the information collected by everyone again.Lao Song looks like Zhang Fei in appearance, but in fact he plays the role of the brain most of the time in the team.

After watching for a long time, there was finally a piece of information that made Lao Song nod - here, there is a door. If you live near Longtan Lake, you may still remember that a "Dragon Palace" was built on the island in the middle of the lake at that time, which is known as a modern entertainment facility integrating sound and light.Of course, now that I have seen more, everyone has long known that it is just a matter of connecting wires and making some models to fool the bumpkins.It was a Shandong couple who were administrators of the "Dragon Palace" who provided clues.

The origins of these two made Captain Song feel at ease.At that time, Shandong people were mostly simple and sincere, unlike some people at the foot of the emperor who talked with their mouths wide open, and finally told you that they heard about it when they went to the bathroom at night and listened to the conversation next door... This kind of headless rumor makes you There is nowhere to check. Like most bluffs of this kind, Longtan Lake's "Dragon Palace" was bustling when it opened, but business has been bleak since then.The couple took care of the "Dragon Palace", but they were also leisurely. In the early morning, they would start a fire on the grass next to the "Dragon Palace" for breakfast.The two of them said that they saw two people approaching at that time, and the one in front was holding a big brother that was rarely seen at that time (Old Song originally said so, I guess he got the time of the crime wrong, maybe the case happened in 90 At the beginning of the 1980s instead of the early 1980s), the one behind was not tall, carrying a big bag, and slowly walked across the opposite river bank.

Isn't that a great lead? The problem is that what was found at the scene was a Beijing brand canvas travel bag, and the couple said they saw the man carrying it, but it was a blue leather suitcase with a completely different color and shape.So initially scouts ignored this situation. Lao Song immediately called for someone—hurry up to invite the two of them, and asked them carefully about their physical characteristics. If there is trouble, this is the criminal! The scout who collected this clue was stunned: "Captain, the color and appearance of that bag don't match." Lao Song said he was right, and there was a problem because he was not right.

This scout is more stubborn, said the captain, what is the reason for this? Lao Song said, have you read the forensic report on those corpse fragments? "Look..." "Then you still ask me?" For a while, I was quite puzzled: Lao Yin looked like a white-faced scholar, while Lao Song looked like a king kong, with very different temperaments.But this Lao Song and Lao Yin are so good that they can't distinguish each other, what's going on?It was only after getting to know each other more that I realized that although these two men were different in appearance, they had a common feature in their work, that is, they both regarded the police as a kind of technical work.

In the Ministry of Public Security, Lao Yin once filmed an internal teaching film, specifically teaching how to identify fugitives from appearance and body language in actual combat, which used a lot of professional knowledge of modern behavioral psychology.Lao Song, on the other hand, attached great importance to forensic science and other technical means in solving cases. The identification of this clue this time is related to the forensic identification of physical evidence. The scouts got the forensic identification at the first time, but one part caught Lao Song's special attention: Judging from the body fragments in the travel bag.Some of the corpses showed that the mutilator was very powerful and could cut off the bones with one knife, but there were also some corpses that had to be cut several times at the same location, and the new daughter-in-law chopped ribs almost randomly.More importantly, from the perspective of forensic science, it can be identified that although a knife was used to dismember the corpse, some wounds were cut with the left hand, while others were cut with the right hand.

Can the forensic doctor identify whether the murderer was left-handed or right-handed?certainly.In many homicide cases, the forensic doctor can also infer the height comparison of the two fighters through the angle of the murderer's cut. Based on this point, Lao Song believed with certainty that there should be two prisoners whose bodies were dismembered, and one was stronger and the other was weaker. Because normal people are generally either left-handed or right-handed, and there are very few people who are equally flexible with both left and right hands. This is not without exceptions, the current emperor of Japan is one - the emperor was born left-handed.But according to Japan's "Royal Family Model", the emperor cannot have such strange habits.

As a result, the Imperial Household Office specially hired an official to break the left-handed habit of the prince all day long.As expected, the Imperial Household Agency was very capable, and as a result, the Emperor was treated as a special case where both hands were tough.However, considering the relationship between China and Japan in the early 1990s, the possibility of the Emperor of Japan smuggling to the capital of the People's Republic of China, killing and dismembering an elderly man was not within Captain Song's consideration. At the same time, although there are more than a hundred body parts in the travel bag, they are still far from being a person when put together.Lao Song speculated that the corpses discarded by the criminals were likely to be several bags instead of one. The two people seen by the "Dragon Palace" administrator happened to be a big man, a small man, and a big bag, which immediately touched Lao Song's sensitive nerves.

In this way, the scouts feel that there is a door! When everyone thought there was a connection, Lao Song said that another suspicious point flashed in his mind at that time: If these two people really did it, it is logical that the big man should be the one with strength, but why is it the small man? What about carrying boxes? This is an interesting thing.Old Song pondered secretly. Since they felt that there was a door, everyone immediately invited the two administrators and his wife, and asked them to describe in detail what they saw, especially the physical characteristics of the two people, and the appearance of the box. Now it's troublesome. Firstly, the distance is far away, secondly, I didn’t pay attention to it at the time, thirdly, these two are not very educated people, and I can’t tell the details anyway, even the husband and wife have a dispute about how tall the tall man is. Dispute. When the scouts were having a headache, the woman suddenly said: "That short one has a face shaped like 'earth'..." Hey, this sentence made the scouts see the light - "earth"-shaped face, what is "earth"-shaped face?Think about it, first the eyebrows have to be connected in a line, second the mouth has to be wider than the eyebrows, and third the bridge of the nose has to reach the forehead.This feature can be seen across the lake, it must be obvious... What an apt description!You know, there are really not many people who can grow up like this. For the police, this is called God help me! Some people say that women's sixth sense is much stronger than men's, which probably refers to this time. Team Song immediately issued two orders: first, immediately search for the blue leather suitcase and other remains of the corpse in Longtan Lake Park; Finding someone is not a matter of overnight, first show the drawing to the administrator couple (mainly the woman) for approval, and then send it to the neighborhood committees of the surrounding police stations to help find it. The search for boxes and body parts in Longtan Lake was not going well. I searched the park and found no new body parts. Instead, I saw a foreigner praising the security of the capital there: "I forgot my schoolbag in the park. I got on the bench in the park, and when I came back two hours later, there were 70 or 80 Beijing citizens around me, staring at me, and no one moved. Team Song ordered to expand the scope of the search. At this time, a certain neighborhood committee called and said that they had just caught a burglar with a "soil" face, please police comrades come quickly! At that time, it was early in the morning, Lao Song took two policemen and went there without saying a word. In the world, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.I went, it is indeed a hooligan, and it is indeed a "earth"-shaped face, but unfortunately, it grows backwards... I found out that this person hadn't arrived in Beijing when the crime was committed, and it was already dawn.After not sleeping all night, Lao Song and his two subordinates had no choice but to go back home. When he walked out of the neighborhood committee, Lao Song politely greeted the director of public security and asked him to stop. When he looked up, he inadvertently glanced up, and suddenly got excited—there was a high-rise residential building next to the neighborhood committee, and Lao Song's sight just happened to fall. On the balcony on the fourth floor, a blue leather suitcase is hanging out on the brackets outside the balcony! Many years later, Lao Song recalled this case, and couldn't help but click his tongue: This is called evil... Lao Song took a step back, pointed to the family on the fourth floor, and asked the security director, "Do you know the people in that family?" The chief security officer looked around, feeling a little strange that Captain Song suddenly asked such a question.But after all, he has cooperated with the police comrades for a long time, and he knows that Lao Song is definitely not full of food.Could it be... Stop thinking wildly, the director of public security told Lao Song that there were only young couples in this family, and they hadn't been married for a long time, and they often went out as couples, and they seemed to be in a good relationship.The man is an old neighbor, a very energetic young man who works as a waiter in XX Building, and the woman is his colleague, works as a clerk in the same building, and her income is not high. The young man is a little short-sighted, but fortunately his wife is quite shrewd.The couple lived in a demolition and relocation house. They had just paid off the loan, and their lives were quite tight... wait.Lao Song said, why are you so familiar with their family?Your relatives? "That's not true. Two days ago, that woman took the flower pots we placed on the street to their own house. I just went there and asked to come back." "Oh." It's such a smart way.Lao Song nodded and said, can you take us to see it? In this way, three investigators and a security director knocked on the door. The moment they knocked on the door, the two investigators were ready to follow the suspect to jump out of the window to play if necessary.Lao Song also took off the holster of the old May Fourth pistol.However, he himself said that a strange emotion suddenly flashed in his heart at that time. It was a premonition that "it won't be so easy" - after solving so many cases, could there really be something that allowed me to catch someone with just a glance?Lao Song is not the kind of master who believes that a whole roast duck will fly from the sky. It was the young man who opened the door. He heard that comrades from the police had a case and wanted to know something about him. His eyes sparkled.Seeing the young man smiling brightly and showing his neat white teeth, Lao Song was discouraged. When the police came to find him, some people were very nervous because ordinary honest people were afraid of being involved in any case; He thought it was something new and curious.The lad clearly falls into the latter category. After working as a criminal police officer for so many years, a fortune teller with Lao Song's ability to read people would definitely make a fortune. He could tell at a glance that this young man might be short-sighted, but he was definitely a person with nothing to worry about. What about the daughter-in-law?At the beginning, while pouring tea, he looked at the security director and Lao Song, muttering as if he felt aggrieved.When I heard that this matter had nothing to do with the throwing of the flower pot, it was a case nearby to find out the situation, and I immediately lifted my spirits (of course it has nothing to do with it, if the neighborhood committee loses a flower pot, the criminal police captain of the Chongwen Sub-bureau will have to intervene. Song had to die from overwork twenty years earlier).The daughter-in-law poured herself a cup of tea, found a round stool next to her husband and sat with her legs crossed, she seemed to be attentive and attentive. How does this look like a suspect, the whole posture of listening to storytelling!Lao Song secretly slandered, thinking that the boss of their building only made her a clerk, which was considered a good job.Seeing that this daughter-in-law is quite beautiful, being a secretary or public relations will definitely not embarrass the company, but if you want to sit in such a sensitive position and give her rabbit ears, some gossip will probably spread to Wangfujing in three days. First rambling and asking some gossip about whether strangers have been around, Lao Song saw that the young couple really didn't seem like the kind of people who could make such a big case, so he went straight to the point: "The one in your house Is the box yours?" "Oh, no." The young man immediately shook his head, "I picked it up, it's dirty, but it's still pretty good. I'll use it when I'm on a business trip after cleaning it. You don't know, comrades in the police, those who don't have money now really don't have money, and those who have money But if you are really rich, you throw away everything, let’s say our hotel, last time I cleaned the room, opened the drawer, well, half a dozen unopened American condoms, all trimmed with gold... hey!" Lao Song could see clearly that the daughter-in-law, blushing, tapped hard on her husband's foot, and twisted it hard without showing any signs of expression.The boy fell silent immediately. Putting down the teacup, the daughter-in-law coughed lightly and said, "Brother policeman, don't mind, we talk in such a nonsensical way. That box was behind the Longtanhu Department Store when my father was walking early the day before yesterday. Picked it up, the old man didn't need it himself, so he brought it for us." "When you brought it, was there anything in it?" Lao Song asked. "Yes... There is a plastic bag of meat, probably thrown away by the department store. The old man took half and left half for us. What's wrong? There's something wrong with this box?" Okay, although there is no one who drops a whole roast duck from the sky, if I can drop half of it, I have already accumulated virtues from my ancestors. "Nothing." Lao Song changed his business-like face, "Where does your father live?" The young couple glanced at each other, probably feeling that there was something wrong with this matter.The daughter-in-law hesitated for a moment, but the young man said happily: "It's in the next building, I'll take you there. Don't think about it, my dad is a rabbit, he dares to break the law?" After speaking, the young man put on his clothes, and Lao Song motioned for the security director and an investigator to "invite" people with him. The daughter-in-law stared straight at the young man's back for a while, and suddenly seemed to remember something, swallowed, and asked, "What's the matter? What kind of case happened in our area?" Before Lao Song had time to speak, the security director Dazui who had already walked to the door said, "It's not our area, it's Longtan Lake, killing people and tearing up corpses." The director went out, and the daughter-in-law suddenly bent over as if she was riding a bus and encountered a sudden brake. At this moment, Lao Song chased after him: "What about the meat?" The daughter-in-law raised her head, her chest heaved and her face was pale, as if she was thinking about something, as if she hadn't heard of Lao Song's question. Lao Song asked again: "So where is the meat in the box? Didn't you keep half of it?" "Meat... meat?" The daughter-in-law came to her senses, "Ah, we... threw it away." "Where did you throw it?" "In the garbage chute...the meat smells wrong, maybe it's not fresh, so we throw it away...ah, no, the whole thing smells bad, it's broken, so we throw it away..." "Throw them away?" asked the remaining scout. "Everything, throw it away." The daughter-in-law was crying, but her tone was firm, and she nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. Lao Song nodded, and asked the scouts to go to the garbage road to check the discarded meat (they did find some later), pretending not to see the trembling lips of the beautiful daughter-in-law.After that, the two policemen never asked this question again. However, Lao Song, who has been a criminal policeman for many years, said that he shivered when he thought about the neat white teeth when the young man smiled. There are some things in the world, if you can be confused, just be a little confused. Soon, the old man was invited to the relevant department.After repeated checks, it was determined that the old man had indeed gone out for a morning walk and picked up this suitcase on the side of the road.At that time, I didn't know what was in it. I took it to my son-in-law's house nearby, only to find that it was frozen meat in a plastic bag.In this way, like most old people in the capital who love their juniors, they picked fresh ones and left half of them for the son-in-law's family, and brought the rest back by themselves.However, the old man said that the meat looked fresh, but it smelled a little sour. He guessed that it had been frozen in the freezer for too long.When I was hesitating whether to eat or throw it away, the police comrades came. The test results showed that the "frozen meat" and the mutilated body in the travel bag belonged to the same victim. The knife marks on the new evidence further confirmed Team Song's opinion, and the clues provided by the administrator of the "Dragon Palace" clearly pointed to the crux of the case. The police divided their troops into several groups, and checked the owners of the nearby big phones, the sales outlets of that kind of luggage, and the families with large refrigerators.Of course, there is still a way, Lao Song personally catches and chases the strange man with the "earth" face. At this moment, the patrolman from Longtan Lake came back in a patrol car.Get off the bus and call Lao Song, here, Song team, is it you who want the face of "earth"?I got you one... Lao Song was taken aback: caught one?Do you eat too much kid?Because the person has a face with the word "earth" and is caught back to the game. Is it you who will carry the thunder, or I will carry it. In the real world, don't think that the police can arrest whoever they want, and arresting people randomly will be punished, and sometimes it is even very severe.There are some police officers who clearly handle the wrong case and want to beat them into tricks. There are many cases in which they are afraid of arresting the wrong person and being severely punished. According to Lao Song's thinking, if someone really finds someone who has the face of "earth" and meets the conditions for committing a crime, he should be monitored first, then find evidence, and then interrogate when he has evidence... Bring people back wherever you can see their looks.If you want people to say that the suspect is handsome and has owl-like eyebrows, you can't go to the State Council to bring the Prime Minister, can you? The patrolman laughed: "Captain Song, you've fainted from work. How can I arrest someone because of his looks? This kid has a case." "What case?" "Murder case." "what?" In fact, this kid was really involved in a murder case, but he wasn't even an accomplice. The case was solved so quickly that it is worth mentioning. That day, as soon as the patrol car left, they were notified by 110 that a male body was found at the corner of a certain street. The police who arrived quickly began to inspect and found that the body was still soft, and a bicycle was thrown beside it.The deceased had only one injury—half of the skull was smashed to pieces, and a bloody cement brick was thrown beside it, which was obviously the murder weapon. There happened to be a seller of roasted sweet potatoes next to him. Although he was terrified enough, his mind was still very flexible, and he said that he saw a group of punks arguing with him.One of the gangsters went over and knocked down his bicycle.The victim grabbed a gangster, but another gangster picked up a brick and hit him on the head, and then rushed away. "Do you recognize these gangsters?" the policeman asked. "I don't know, but one of them has dyed yellow hair, one dyed green, and one is a woman." After recording the testimony, the patrol captain raised his legs and got into the car. He accidentally turned his head and saw that there were several people at the entrance of the alley in the distance looking in this direction. Under the streetlights, there was a yellow one, a green one, and a long-haired one. female…… "Go, call those people to ask." The patrol captain called a joint defense over, and just pointed at the other side, those people turned around and ran away! As soon as people run, it is an order, and the patrolmen and defensemen chase after them, and those who get in the car get in the car, and the chase starts immediately. How could they run after just a few steps? Most of the gangsters were caught without a fight—it turned out that they beat people, but they didn't know they killed them.So after they ran away, they came back to check the wind. If the injury was minor, it would be fine. If the injury was serious, everyone should hurry home and pack up, and go to other places to shelter from the wind.Unexpectedly, it happened to be delivered to the policemen. Speaking of the rise in homicide rates in Beijing in the 1980s and 1990s, the Urban Construction Bureau should bear some responsibility. What is the reason? Because Beijing started large-scale urban construction at that time, the Urban Construction Bureau acquired a large number of cement floor tiles, which caused great trouble to the local gangsters. As we all know, among the handy weapons for gangsters in Beijing to fight, "Guanercha" and chain locks still rank second and third, and the first place is well-deserved is the brick.The catchphrase of Beijing hooligans is—Sun thief (son), come here and grandpa beat you to death! This "shooting" can only be done with bricks. It is said that the most important reason why Beijing hooligans fight with bricks is that they are rich in materials.In the early years, housing in Beijing was tense, and each household built a small kitchen, which resulted in bricks and tiles all over the street.The tile is curved and has a weird shape, and it is not easy to grasp the direction when exerting force, so the brick has become the most popular melee weapon. In fact, there is another important reason for the popularity of bricks. Because it is a limited lethal weapon suitable for low-intensity warfare in the streets. A limited-lethal weapon means that the damage it inflicts is usually within a certain range.The bricks in the early years of Beijing mainly refer to the red bricks used in construction.Because the quality was not valued back then, people usually compared it with the moon cakes issued by the unit.From this point, it can be seen that the bricks fired with loess have limited strength. A blow to the opponent's head will usually cause concussion, laceration or bleeding, but it will not be fatal-the one with low power cannot kill people, but the one with high power , the brick and the head compete for hardness, and the brick itself breaks first.You can watch Feng Gong's version. There is a scene of Baozi holding a brick to Feng Ye, which is very real. For the little hooligans in Beijing, a fight is a must, but if you fight again, it's still a neighbor, so there's no need to risk your life, right?Therefore, a brick that has a deterrent effect and usually does not kill people has become everyone's first choice.Compared with bricks, "Guan'er fork" can be fatal wherever it is stabbed. This is a weapon of infinite destruction, which is not taken by mainstream hooligans. However, since the Urban Construction Bureau got the cement tiles, this advantage of the tiles has changed. Who ever heard of the head can open cement bricks?If you play this thing according to the moves of using red bricks, you will die if you don't pay attention! So during that period of time, there were often things where both sides' eyes were straightened... This time, the punks also made an empirical error for this reason. Most of the gangsters were caught, but the yellow hair was so brave that he even jumped several fences and ran for more than 100 meters in a hurry, only to find that both ends of the street were blocked by the police. Huang Mao, who found something wrong, collected himself, identified the terrain, and suddenly slapped his head.He jumped into a half-demolished yard next to him, slammed on the door of the north room and shouted: Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao...
