Chapter 12 Case 10 Water Prison

"I see which of you dare!" The fat woman stood up again at this time, and blocked the mottled iron gate, "No one can enter my aunt's house! If you have the ability, you will kill me!" I was instantly frustrated.Judging from the behavior of this fat woman just now, I thought that she had been persuaded by me to cooperate with the police, but I didn't expect that she was a shrew who didn't like oil and salt.The search warrant has already come, but she is still acting like a fool.Is there something wrong with her too? "Now we are carrying out official duties in accordance with the law. Please cooperate, otherwise you will be suspected of obstructing official duties." The special police captain put on a posture, and I knew they were going to take compulsory measures.

I took a few steps back and leaned against the wall, waiting for the SWAT department to clear the "roadblock". Sure enough, after the fat woman cursed a few more words, several special policemen started to attack.As a result, before the special police could touch her, she started scratching first, forcing several special police to take a few steps back. Lin Tao subconsciously stood in front of Chen Shiyu. Chen Shiyu shook his head helplessly, and said, "Hey, here we go again, can machismo be changed?" "My God." Dabao exclaimed, jumped to my side, stood against the wall, and said, "This woman is too fierce."

"It's not easy to enforce the law personally. The general mentality of the police is that they are afraid of accidents, and they are inevitably a little timid." Han Liang explained, "Otherwise, she would have been pinned to the ground." After waiting silently for a few minutes, the fat woman exhausted her strength, so she obediently let her go. "We'll take this man back for interrogation, and we'll leave the scene to you." The SWAT captain was a little embarrassed.After all, it took a few special police officers to deal with a woman for several minutes. It would be a bit embarrassing if it got out.But we can completely understand them, if not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, if something happens to the fat woman during the process of being subdued, the ending is really hard to say.After all, there is no evidence to prove that she has committed any crimes.

We smiled and nodded to the SWAT captain, and then began to put on our scene survey gear. This is a very ordinary people's house, and there are no special decorations.Before entering the central site, we conducted a general survey of the community.This is not a place where Tibetans, dead bodies, or illegal detentions are allowed.The resident on the sixth floor also does not meet such conditions.The most important thing now is to hope that we can find something that belongs to the missing person or the deceased. On the one hand, Ding Lixiang's criminal evidence can be proved, and on the other hand, we can find out the location of Ding Lixiang's secret studio, or the place where people may be imprisoned. place.

The house is an ordinary two-bedroom, and after entering the mottled old-fashioned iron door, there is a very narrow living room.After entering the living room, there is a passage, and the two sides of the passage are two bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom.The furnishings in the house were a bit messy, and with the discarded underwear and underwear everywhere, it can be seen that the owner of this house is very lazy. With gauze gloved hands, I touched the upper edge of the refrigerator, and it was covered with a layer of dust. Dust is not a bad thing, at least those dusty corners indicate that no one has touched them recently, and we naturally narrowed down the scope of our search.

I divided the team members into two groups. Lin Tao and I focused on searching the bedroom, while Dabao and Chen Shiyu focused on the living room and bathroom. The second bedroom obviously has no signs of habitation.Although there is a children's bed inside, there is no bedding on it.The closet was also empty, with a thick layer of dust in it.Apparently, the couple had no children, so the room was left unused for a long time. Although the size of the master bedroom is not small, the walls are old and mottled.I raised my head and looked at the ceiling. The paint on the wall had cracked, and some pieces of paint seemed to be falling off soon.

I went carefully from drawer to drawer, moving as gently as possible so as not to destroy the sudden evidence. The wall clock on the wall was ticking. "Cartier?" I said. "Ah?" Lin Tao, who was checking the bedside table, stood up. "How can they afford Cartier in their economic situation?" I said. "This watch costs tens of thousands!" Lin Tao exclaimed in surprise, then he said hastily, "Hey, you won't ask me to find the proprietress who sells luxury goods again." "Don't be nervous." I said with a smile, "She sold the stolen goods and has been arrested."

"Which victim do you think this watch belongs to?" Lin Tao said. I nodded, put the watch carefully into the evidence bag, and said: "Every luxury item has a unique number. The two female dead and one missing person are both in good financial conditions, and they are all fashionable people, so they have no personal belongings." It’s impossible. Maybe this watch belonged to a certain victim. We only need to obtain the relevant purchase information, which is an ironclad proof.” "Oh." Lin Tao said, "There is nothing special in the bedside cabinet, not even a condom, which means that they have no contraception. They have never had children, so one of them must have a problem."

"Has this bedside table been checked?" I pointed to the bedside table on the other side. Lin Tao shook his head, squatted down, and opened the drawer of the bedside table.As he opened the drawer, Lin Tao stayed there. "What's wrong?" I found something unusual. "Handcuffs!" Lin Tao took out a pair of shiny silver handcuffs from the bedside table. "I'll go!" I quickly took the handcuffs from Lin Tao, "No, these handcuffs are so realistic, but they have no weight, they should be hollow." "It's not the handcuffs used by the police anyway." After Lin Tao finished speaking, he lowered his head and rummaged in the drawer, and quickly took out a key.

"There are handcuffs at home, which is obviously abnormal." I said, "But can these handcuffs really effectively control people?" Han Liang walked into the room at this time, took the handcuffs and fiddled with them a few times, and said with a smile: "You two don't understand anything, these are sex handcuffs, and they are sold everywhere in sex toy stores." Lin Tao and I stood still, staring at Han Liang in a daze. Han Liang smiled awkwardly and said, "I haven't bought it, I just saw it before." After a while, seeing that we were still standing still, Han Liang added: "I just bought other things and saw some for sale. I have never used it."

"Can this thing be sold casually?" I said. Han Liang said with a smile: "It's not a rare thing, it's almost enough to fool people." Han Liang looked left and right, took out a toothpick from a small bottle on the chest of drawers, stirred it a few times in the keyhole of the handcuffs, and the handcuffs snapped open. "You see, I don't have the ability to detain others at all." Han Liang threw the handcuffs to us. "You still say you haven't used it?" Lin Tao said, putting the handcuffs into the evidence bag. We spent most of the day searching almost everything in this small house.Except for the Cartier watch and a pair of fake handcuffs, nothing else was found. If he hadn't known in advance that Ding Lixiang was an expert in computers, networks and electronic products, he would have never imagined it through the search.There is not even a computer in the whole house, let alone computer accessories or equipment for assembling electronic products. It seems that Ding Lixiang hides himself very deeply. He never puts anything related to his specialties at home, and never displays his specialties at home. Moreover, the investigative department has been investigating for a long time, and it can be confirmed that Ding Lixiang is not employed by any company, but through the introduction of customers, he undertook the computer maintenance work of the Mu Sicily Hotel and several other office buildings.He does not belong to any company and is a free man. He will show up to solve problems when the units that temporarily employ him need it. Don't underestimate this freelance job, the income is not less than that of a fixed job.After all, his skills are still outstanding.He can easily solve problems that others cannot solve. With such a reputation, he will naturally not worry about income. The results of the survey almost confirmed what the fat woman said.Apart from working in various companies, Ding Lixiang must have a place to stay during working hours.It is the "studio" in the mouth of fat women.So, where is this studio?Is the studio just the devil's camp? Ding Lixiang's home didn't even have anything related to computers, let alone anything related to the studio.We repeatedly cleaned up everything in Ding Lixiang's house, but in the end we decided to give up the search. Judging from the current situation, the only way to find Ding Lixiang and his "studio" is to rely on city probes and investigations. Our search is over, and the search for clues is not over.Holding handcuffs, I rushed to the interrogation room of the criminal police detachment task force, wanting to meet this unreasonable fat woman for a while. "Tao Chunhua, female, 33 years old, unemployed, registered in Taotang Town, Longxi City." At the door of the interrogation room, the investigator informed us of the preliminary investigation, "Three years ago, I had a relationship with Ding Lixiang, who was four years younger than her. Married, no children. After marriage, basically rely on the money Ding Lixiang earns to maintain life, and usually play mahjong with the old lady next door. No criminal record." I nodded, took the material file from the investigator, opened the door and walked into the interrogation room. The investigator in charge of the interrogation was sitting upright, while the fat woman sitting on the interrogation chair opposite was already gone.It seems that she is nothing more than a strong outsider.Her bloated body was stuffed into the interrogation chair, which seemed very small and cramped.If the chair was any smaller, it wouldn't be able to accommodate her ass.The tabletop on the interrogation chair was not put down, because the fat belly of the woman did not allow the tabletop to be put down at all. We forensic doctors are only technicians, and we can participate in the interrogation at the invitation of the investigators, but we cannot become the leader of the interrogation.So, I sat next to the investigator in charge of the interrogation.He placed the two transparent evidence bags in his hand heavily on the table. The fat woman raised her head slightly and glanced at the evidence bag, as if she didn't show much expression.This makes me a little weird. "Go ahead," said the investigator.Apparently we interrupted their conversation as we entered the door. "It can be said that he is an honest man and never dared to talk back to me." The woman said, "If he dared to offend my wife, she would slap her with a big mouth, and he didn't dare to say anything." "That is to say, he is relatively introverted and cowardly?" The woman nodded. "Where does he go to work every day?" "I really don't know where he usually works." The fat woman said with an aggrieved face, "He said he has a studio and works in it with a few friends. It's a business secret, I can't let me I know where it is. I wondered, a computer person, as for making it look like a spy?" "Since you are wondering, why don't you find out?" the investigator asked. "I said it just now, I followed, and I lost it twice." The woman said, "Actually, I always thought, even if I know, what's the use? Anyway, he pays the money on time every month." .I'm too lazy to take care of it." The investigator gave her a contemptuous look, and must have thought, if you are not lazy, how could you be so fat?The investigator said: "Since you have been too lazy to take care of it, why do you want to follow?" The fat woman piled up her face, and said, "Aren't you running around me? Why can't I follow? He is my man." Obviously, after asking for such a long time, the investigators did not ask any substantive content at all.I am a little anxious.After all, there are still three missing people whose whereabouts are unknown, and it is not known what kind of relationship Ding Lixiang has with Du Zhou.The most dangerous thing is that when we searched the hotel, Ding Lixiang must be able to detect our movement through the camera transmission system, and then it will pose a threat to the safety of the hostages. I couldn't bear it anymore, picked up the evidence bag containing the watch and said, "Is this yours?" The woman glanced at it and nodded. I was even more surprised.How dare she really dare to say that this is her own so brazenly?I said, "Can you afford these tens of thousands of watches?" "Ding Lixiang said it was given by a client." The woman's expression didn't seem to be lying, "Some time ago, when I was strict with him, he gave me this watch, saying that the more free time he had, the more time he had. The more, the more benefits I will get. So I just believe it, and don't care about him during this time." "Then what about this?" Chen Shiyu, who was standing behind me, also wanted to go straight to Huanglong at this moment, and raised the handcuffs in the evidence bag and said. "This is fake." The woman said, "I bought it in the small shop downstairs." "It doesn't matter whether it's true or not." Chen Shiyu said, "What are you buying handcuffs for? Do you still want to argue?" "No quibbling, I bought it." The woman said with an aggrieved face, "You can ask the owner of the small shop, I really bought it half a year ago! I used it to control Ding Lixiang!" "Take care of Ding Lixiang?" I said, "Why do you care about him?" "The main reason is that I suspect that he is messing around outside." The woman hesitated and said after thinking for a while. Seeing that we didn't say anything, the woman continued: "We got married more than three years ago. A year ago, he suddenly died for some reason." "What's wrong?" Chen Shiyu asked. I looked back at Chen Shiyu.Chen Shiyu suddenly realized, and quickly said solemnly: "Oh. You continue." The woman said: "I didn't pay much attention to it at first, and I didn't have high requirements for this aspect. But one time, I suddenly found him lying on the window of the neighbor's bathroom and peeping at the woman next door taking a shower!" The word "peeping" suddenly flashed in my mind.deja vu. "This pissed me off," said the fat woman. "This guy must have done something wrong to me, so he couldn't do it to me. Then I pulled him home and beat him up. I thought he could It's fixed. But I didn't expect that within two days, this guy would sneak out to the public toilet to peek at other women's toilet while I was asleep at night." "So in order to control him, you bought handcuffs?" I asked. The woman nodded and said, "He told me that he wanted to cure his inability to stimulate himself in this way. I don't believe his nonsense. So every night when I go to bed, I handcuff him My hands were handcuffed with his to see where he was going." "Can these handcuffs hold people?" I asked. The woman said dejectedly: "It was okay, basically he couldn't run away at night. However, just two or three months ago, he didn't know how to uncuff one night. I woke up in the morning, I found out that he ran away without knowing when. So when he came back, I beat him up again. But that night he uncuffed and ran away again!" "Where did you go?" I asked. "I don't know." The fat woman said, "He told me that he had to leave at night, because it was possible that his illness would be cured soon." After listening, I tensed up all over.The timing was right. Judging from the testimony, he was likely to rape the missing women.And, really, it's about sex.However, what happened to Du Zhou?Is it his accomplice? The woman went on to say: "When he came back the next day, he brought this watch and asked me to leave him alone. Not only did he have customers who would send him valuable things, but he could also cure diseases. So, I also I don’t bother to care about him. During this period of time, he came back every night to cook, and then sneaked away with the thermos.” "The thermos?" I said. "What's in the thermos?" "I don't know." The fat woman said, "I don't care what he pretends to be." I'm so pissed off by this lazy fat woman. "But later, he really brought back some luxury brand bags, jewelry and so on." The fat woman said, "But I sold all these things, and this watch was the first thing he gave me. , did not sell." I looked back at Chen Shiyu. After all, she had systematically studied the theory of micro-expressions and criminal psychology. Chen Shiyu also realized my intention, so he lowered his head and whispered in my ear: "It should be fine." It seemed that this fat, careless woman really only knew so much.Once again our leads are broken.I was very frustrated, but there was nothing I could do, so I could only silently pick up the evidence bag and leave the interrogation room. The next two days were really exhausting. As the criminal science and technology department, it is impossible for us to rush to the front line to find the trapped people and the whereabouts of Ding Lixiang.Therefore, we can only stay in the office foolishly waiting for news, and occasionally send Chen Shiyu to inquire about the news.Although he knew it shouldn't be, he couldn't help himself, and even looked listless when doing the injury appraisal.Therefore, he was scolded by an old man who came to do the appraisal. Because of the bad impact of the ring project, the Municipal Bureau mobilized hundreds of capable personnel from various departments of the criminal police to conduct an investigation around Ding Lixiang. The first group of investigators investigated Ding Lixiang's life.Through investigation, it was found that both parents of this person died, and he grew up in an orphanage.Although he did not go to university, he has an unusual interest in the software and hardware of network informatization. Almost all of his professional skills come from self-study.It may be due to his personality. He has been reluctant to communicate with others since he was a child, and he is independent and independent.Even if you enter the society, unless you communicate with people at work, you generally don't communicate with others.In the major systems of the public security intranet, it is rare to find his trace. Three years ago, he met Tao Chunhua, a dishwashing worker in a hotel, that fat woman who behaved arrogantly.Later, Tao Chunhua took the initiative to pursue Ding Lixiang, so the two registered their marriage.After getting married, the lazy Tao Chunhua had an old house to live in, so she used this as an excuse to quit her job and enjoy the happiness at home.The daily expenses of the family basically come from Ding Lixiang making some small money with his professional skills.Not long after the marriage, Ding Lixiang suddenly lost his sexual function, but Ding Lixiang with strong self-esteem refused to go to the hospital for treatment.Tao Chunhua doesn't have any needs in this regard, as long as there is delicious food, it will be enough, and it will cost money to go to the hospital, so it doesn't matter.It wasn't until Tao Chunhua discovered Ding Lixiang's voyeurism and began to suspect that Ding Lixiang was playing tricks on the neighbor's woman that he began to restrain him.However, after investigation by investigators, the neighbor woman was not likely to be involved in the crime.She and Ding Lixiang also have nothing to do with each other. The second group of investigators is distributed in various traffic arteries and checkpoints in the city, as well as bus, train, ship stations and airports, and cooperates with the public security organs in various regions to tie up the pockets of the big bag of Longpan City. , to prevent Ding Lixiang from escaping from Longpan City in the chaos.The task force believes that as long as Ding Lixiang is still in Longfan City, he will not be able to escape our control circle.But after two days of work, Ding Lixiang was not found at all. There are only two possibilities now. First, Ding Lixiang hid in a hidden corner of Longpan City; second, Ding Lixiang escaped from Longpan by climbing the mountains on foot. The task of the third group of investigators is the most important. They, together with the police from the Video Investigation Brigade of the Municipal Bureau, will collect, watch, and judge all the traffic police, public security, bus monitoring, and many civilian monitoring in the city.One is to discover Ding Lixiang's activities in the past two days, and the other is to try to find the specific location or direction of Ding Lixiang's "studio". Unexpectedly, Ding Lixiang's premeditated crime should have been planned a long time ago.As far as the surveillance video can be saved, the police did find a lot of video data about Ding Lixiang.However, it is impossible to judge his trajectory at all.However, under the judgment of many experienced experts in the video investigation department, it can be determined that Ding Lixiang's "studio" should be located in the northwest area of ​​Longpan City.Since Ding Lixiang intentionally evaded surveillance and only took public transportation without surveillance, the police could only make it clear. However, the scope of investigation defined by the experts is the entire northwest area of ​​Longpan City.For a city with an area of ​​20,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 10 million people, this means that the police have to investigate an area of ​​about 3,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 2 million people. This is an almost impossible task. Our survey team also carefully studied the northwest area of ​​Longpan City.This area is an old industrial-intensive area with many factories, businesses, and many abandoned houses or courtyards.The population is relatively dense. Even homeless people have thousands of people looking for a place to live in this area, not to mention the large floating population. There were two dead people thrown out by Ding Lixiang, and even with the missing locations of Du Zhou and Luo Xueqin, it was still impossible to use investigative cartography to make a judgment.Although the two bodies and the missing place of Du Zhou belonged to the "northwest region" designated by experts, they were not too close to each other.If it is necessary to travel long distances to transport the corpse without being discovered by others, it means that Ding Lixiang probably has a means of transportation.Then it is even more impossible to judge the area where he may hide and the area where the "studio" is located. The investigator also consulted us about the "vehicle".After preliminary investigation, Ding Lixiang did not have a car under his name, nor had he borrowed a car from anyone else.Based on the fact that the deceased was not wrapped and had no transportation injuries, we judge that Ding Lixiang's vehicle should not be a two-wheeler.Therefore, the sight of the investigation basically locked on electric or fuel tricycles. However, how many such cars should there be in a city, especially in the suburbs?There are so many that you dare not even think about investigating.Moreover, such a car will not be registered in the traffic police department at all. Therefore, the investigators of the three lines have done a lot of investigative work.However, it did not have a positive effect on arresting suspects or rescuing hostages. After all, Ding Lixiang must have noticed the police's actions, so everyone was worried about the safety of the hostages.The whereabouts of at least two women who were assaulted by Ding Lixiang are still unknown, and whether Du Zhou is the victim or an accomplice is still unknown. The task force is like ants on a hot pot, running around all day long. However, misfortunes never come singly, and good fortune never comes together. At this juncture, another accident happened in Longpan City. A fire suddenly broke out at the garbage dump at the foot of Longpan Mountain, and the Longpan City Public Security Fire Department dispatched officers and soldiers from two squadrons to put out the fire. When the fire was being fought, a mother and daughter went to the firefighting officers and soldiers and complained that Zhang Jianguo, a citizen of Longpan City, was looking for garbage that could be sold in the garbage mountain when the fire broke out, but at this time, his whereabouts were unknown. Our survey vehicle drove all the way northwest to the scene of the fire. Along the way, we are paying attention to the buildings and people on the side of the road.However, although this area is abandoned and remote, it still has a large population.Although dilapidated, the housing prices here are cheap.It is precisely because of being in the same place that we can understand the difficulty of the investigators' investigation. Soon, we arrived at the scene. This is Longfan Mountain in the northwest region. The mountain range is not small, but a depression is formed in this place.And this mountain depression is used as a transfer station for urban waste. This place is very empty, there are no buildings or people around, it is a forgotten corner of the city. The only people who come to this place are those who make a living by scavenging.Although the garbage brought here has been filtered, there are not many things that can be sold for money.But there are still some scavengers who come here to try their luck occasionally, looking for some "fish that slipped through the net". Zhang Jianguo is such a person. He is a person who relies on picking up waste to support his family, and he is very hardworking.In addition to looking for cartons, beverage bottles, etc. in the city's trash cans, I occasionally come to this dump to look for something.Not to mention, there are few people here after all, so every time he will not return empty-handed. Zhang Jianguo's home is not far from the garbage dump, so when the fire started, his wife and daughter saw thick smoke from a distance, so they rushed to the garbage dump.Near the garbage dump, they saw Zhang Jianguo's tricycle. They estimated that Zhang Jianguo had been caught in the fire, so they searched for firefighters to rescue him. Human life was at stake. Before the fire was extinguished, the fire brigade sent two soldiers into the fire scene to shout and search, but the smoke was so thick that it was impossible to open the field of vision, let alone find people.After the search failed, the officers and soldiers accelerated the speed of fire fighting and notified the fire rescue brigade. After the fire was extinguished, more than a dozen soldiers from the fire rescue brigade, with search and rescue dogs, began to search and rescue at the garbage dump. When we arrived at the scene, search and rescue operations were still ongoing. Lin Tao and Cheng Ziyan from the Municipal Bureau looked back and forth at Zhang Jianguo's tricycle. "As long as Ding Lixiang has such a tricycle, he will definitely be able to transport the corpse." Lin Tao said. Cheng Ziyan nodded, pulled a blanket covering the tricycle, and said, "If Ding Lixiang also gets such a cloth, and hides the body in the truck, and covers it with the cloth, no one will notice it." "Don't look, the argument that he has a tricycle must be gone." Dabao squatted next to me and said, "Why don't you come and see those puppies, all of them are in high spirits! They can really find missing people. personnel?" "Can I be like you? You must be very excited to see the same kind." Lin Tao teased that Dabao is a humanoid police dog. "I can't do this." Dabao rubbed his nose and said, "I can only smell garbage here." "Are you saying that humans are inferior to dogs?" Lin Tao laughed. "It's not as good as it is." Dabao gave Lin Tao a white look, and said, "Are you better than a dog? Go ahead." Lin Tao was about to go back with a poor mouth, only to hear the search and rescue team members in the distance shout: "Boss! We found it! There are no vital signs!" The mother and daughter at the edge of the dump started crying. In fact, this is expected.In such a large fire field, it is almost impossible to escape completely.This is also the reason why the fire department immediately notified the forensic department of the city bureau to arrive at the scene. I straightened up and said, "Let's go, there's work to do." "Hurry up." Dabao said, "It is estimated that the body was burnt to a serious degree, and the family members cannot see it. They will definitely not be able to bear it." I nodded in agreement with Dabao's point of view, and directed the firefighters to put the body behind the fire truck, making the fire truck a barrier, and then asked the firefighters to keep the family members of the deceased out. Dabao and I put on our gloves, approached the corpse, and removed the cloth covering the corpse.At this time, Dabao and I were shocked at the same time. The body was curled up on the ground, facing us sideways.Judging from the appearance of the corpse, the skin was not eroded by the flames, and the corpse was not completely charred like the corpse in the fire.The skin in the exposed areas does not appear to have been burned, and the clothes are all intact.Even the hair on the head of the corpse was intact. We know that hair is the most easily burned human tissue, once the body is subjected to high temperature, hair is the first to disappear. However, the surface of Zhang Jianguo's body was black, with a lot of soot and charcoal sticking to it. "The area he's in isn't burning?" I asked the rescue team next to me. The rescuer shook his head and said, "It's burning. And it's burning badly." "Then why is his hair still there?" The rescue team has been in and out of the fire scene for a long time, so we don't need to say more about some basic knowledge. I took out a piece of gauze from the inspection box, dipped it in alcohol, and wiped it repeatedly on Zhang Jianguo's exposed skin.Soon, the black soot and charcoal was wiped off with gauze, revealing the normal-colored skin.I pointed to the cleaned skin with a hemostat to show the rescue team. The rescue team picked up the cloth covering the corpse just now and said: "When we were looking for the corpse just now, it was Sirius who smelled it first. Because there is a lot of garbage piled up in the garbage dump, and the corpse is trapped in the garbage, his surface Covered by such a cloth. This is a fire-resistant cloth." "Oh, flame-retardant cloth." Dabao said, "So when he found out that it was on fire and knew he couldn't escape, he covered himself with a piece of flame-retardant cloth." "There are still several pieces of this kind of cloth near the scene. It may be a coincidence." The rescue team said, "After the deceased fell into the garbage dump, a piece of flame-retardant cloth happened to cover him. This possibility is not ruled out." I nodded. Dabao said: "Understood. The deceased was trapped in the garbage dump, and there was a flame-retardant cloth to isolate the fire from the outside world. Therefore, although he was not burned to death by the fire, the surrounding environment was severely hypoxic, which led to his death from suffocation." I didn't speak, I still wiped the exposed skin of the deceased with alcohol gauze, and asked Dabao to cut off the clothes of the deceased.After inspection, there were no obvious signs of injury on the neck, mouth and nose of the deceased; there were no obvious injuries on the torso and limbs.It seems that there are grounds to rule out his death from mechanical injury and mechanical asphyxiation. "This is an accident." Dabao defined the nature of the case. "This place is so empty, and there is no one to manage it. Do fires happen often?" I said while tidying up the dead man's clothes. The clothes of the deceased were also normal, with no signs of damage or tearing. "No." A lieutenant officer of the fire squadron standing aside said, "This location is sparsely populated, and fireworks are prohibited. Therefore, there have been no fires before. Moreover, I think that the garbage here is stored in the open air, and there is too much rain for us. For Longpan City, the garbage here and the land under the garbage are soaked in water. Even if there are sporadic sparks, it is impossible to cause a fire." "Won't someone smoking start a fire?" I asked.Because I took out a pack of cigarettes and a disposable lighter from the pocket of the deceased's coat. "From my experience, cigarettes are not considered an open flame, and it is very difficult to start a big fire in this dump." The lieutenant officer said, "However, if the cigarette butt ignites some small combustibles, an open flame appears, and the open flame gradually spreads. , It is not completely impossible. But it is also considered a small probability event. " "Then how did this fire come into being?" Dabao asked. "This, we still need to investigate." The lieutenant officer pointed to an armed police car with a white license plate driving in the distance, and said, "The fire investigation department has sent people here." I nodded as if realizing something: "Since the fire started where it shouldn't be, the possibility of a small probability event is relatively high." The lieutenant officer nodded in approval. "In this case, we can hand over the case to the Municipal Bureau." Dabao took off his gloves, patted Han Fayi on the shoulder who arrived at the scene with us, and said. There are three mechanisms of burnout.The first is the decrease of oxygen and the increase of carbon monoxide in the fire scene, leading to suffocation or carbon monoxide poisoning, or suffocation and death caused by thermal burns and edema of the respiratory tract; the second is traumatic shock caused by extensive burns on the surface of the body death; the third is the death of mechanical injury caused by fire site collapse and so on. Regardless of the mechanism, as long as the forensic doctor makes it clear that the deceased did not have the possibility of the death of an outsider and the possibility of cremation after death, it does not need to be handled as a criminal case.The corpses in the fire scene that the forensic doctor usually sees are all severely burned or missing some limbs. Charcoal powder is inhaled to judge whether there are any vital signs when the deceased is burned.Once the presence of heat respiratory syndrome is confirmed and soot and charcoal are seen in the trachea, it can be judged that it was burnt to death.As for whether it was accidentally burned to death or someone set fire to death, it is not only the scope of forensic medicine to consider. But this case is different, the skin of the deceased is intact.Through the autopsy, we can easily rule out that he was killed by someone else.Combined with the situation introduced by the rescue team, Dabao said that he died of asphyxia due to lack of oxygen is the most likely cause of his death.Well, this should be an accident.Judging from the fact that there was no one else in the dump and the deceased was still smoking, the instigator of this case was the deceased. Indeed, as Dabao said, we should now go to the task force to see if there is any new progress in the investigation of the Ring project, instead of entangled in an accidental death here. I nodded, took out a cotton swab from the investigation box, and thought to briefly confirm the burnt condition of the deceased before he was alive, and then rushed to the ring task force. I inserted a cotton swab into the dead man's nostrils, agitating as deeply as I could.This action is to see if the soot and charcoal were inhaled into the deep nasal cavity by the deceased.This is the easiest way to judge burnt death, but it is only effective on corpses whose faces have not been burned. The results blew my mind. The cotton swab I took out was clean, without any soot or charcoal sticking to it. "How could this be?" Dabao yelled first, causing several members of the investigation team to turn their heads. I was also taken aback. I watched it repeatedly with a cotton swab, wondering if my operation was wrong.However, such a simple operation, how could there be mistakes? “这……不是烧死？”经常和我们一起出入于火灾现场，林涛对烧死的尸体基本征象也是有所了解的。鼻孔里没有烟灰炭末，说明死者是死后被埋于垃圾堆里，然后大量的烟灰沉着、附着于身体之上，才导致了这样一个状态。 可是，尸体上并没有损伤啊！难道死者是恰好中毒了，或者是潜在性疾病突发了？Is it all a coincidence?不会有这么大的巧合吧。 “是不是因为是一氧化碳中毒死亡，才会这样的？”林涛问。 我摇摇头，说：“只有火起来了，一氧化碳才会产生，才会中毒。而这个时候，死者应该会有烧伤。即便此时死者已经隐藏于阻燃布下方了，也肯定会吸入大量的灰烬，那么我的棉签就应该可以擦出东西来了。再者，你觉得这么空旷的地方也可以一氧化碳中毒吗？” “那究竟会是怎么一回事呢？”林涛百思不得其解。 “不知道。需要尸体解剖才可以判断。”我坚定地说。 “解剖？火场里的尸体而已。”一名侦查员看了看消防车那头的母女，说，“又要去做通死者家属的工作吗？这可不容易。” 我收拾好勘查箱里的东西，摘掉手套，拍了拍身上的灰尘，拎起勘查箱说：“不容易也得做啊。实在是不同意的话，就只有请你们分局局长出面签署文件，强制解剖了。” “强制解剖？”侦查员说，“这案子符合条件吗？我们没有依据或者疑点表明这是一起刑事案件啊。” 我举起手中的物证袋，物证袋里装着那支白白的棉签，说：“这还不是疑点吗？死者不是生前烧死，而是死后焚尸！” 我把物证袋装进口袋里，从一脸惊愕的侦查员身边掠过，径直走向了勘查车。 “不准确，不准确。”大宝纠正我说，“尸体没有被焚毁，就是沾了点黑灰，所以不算是死后焚尸，不算。” 做通家属的工作肯定不容易，而公安分局的领导也不愿轻易担责任，没有签署强制解剖的命令。所以，我们在解剖室隔壁的休息间里硬是等了两个多小时，才看见侦查员满脸是汗、吭哧吭哧地跑了过来。 “抱歉抱歉，我真是把吃奶的力气都用上了！现在好歹家属是同意了。”侦查员扬了扬手里已经经过家属签字的“尸体解剖通知书”，说，“不过家属不愿意来解剖室，所以咱们可以直接开始了。” 此时的我已经等得万般急躁，见总算是做通了工作，也算是松了一口气。 “抓紧时间吧，请殡仪馆的同志赶紧把尸体送过来。”我没好气地说，“要是冰柜的效果好，两三个小时就完成速冻了，还得化冻！” “早就想到了。”韩法医微微一笑，说，“在冷冻间大厅里呢，没进冰柜。” 尸体在现场的时候就已经被我们剪掉了衣物，此时放上解剖台的，是一具赤裸的老年男尸。曾被衣物遮盖的部分，皮肤颜色正常，而裸露部位的皮肤，即便已经被我们擦拭过了，还是显得很黑。 我用止血钳夹起纱布，对尸体又进行了一遍从头到脚的清洗，同时，也是对尸体进行第二轮的检查。不出所料，第二轮检查并没有发现死者存在什么损伤。尤其是我一开始怀疑的针眼、隐蔽位置损伤等有可能被我忽略掉的问题，也一样并不存在。 不过，有一个现象倒是引起了我的注意。 幸亏在刚开始的时候，我并没有清洗干净。此时，在强烈的无影灯的照射之下，我似乎看到死者的面部存在一些异样。尤其是在林涛所拍摄的照片里，这个异样更加明显。死者的眼角处，还有鼻根附近，就像是鱼尾纹一样，好像有一些白色的线条。这些线条的颜色比较浅，和周围的皮肤形成了浅浅的色差。不过，我知道这并不是真的皱纹。 看到这里，我歪头思考了一下，书本上的诸多理论，在我的脑海里不断翻滚。我似乎已经有一些线索了。于是从器械盘里拿出手术刀，对对面的大宝和韩法医说：“等不及了，我必须马上知道死者的死因。” 我急切的心情显然和大家不谋而合了。大宝二话不说，拿起止血钳准备配合我的动作。 我熟练地一刀打开死者的胸腹腔，甚至都不检查腹腔情况，而是直接用手术刀切开了肋软骨，然后分离了胸锁关节，取下了肋骨，暴露了死者的胸腔。 眼前是一片黑红之色。 “哎哟，这人烟瘾不小吧。”林涛伸头看了一眼，啧啧称奇，“肺居然能黑成这个样子，看你们以后还敢抽烟不？” “傻吧。”大宝用止血钳指了指暴露出的胸腔里的黑红之色，说，“你见过谁的肺长在中间的？” 我没有说话，用手扒开死者的左侧胸腔，暴露出了淡紫红色的肺脏说：“是啊，你看到的这个才是肺。” “那也有好多黑斑，烟是不能抽。”林涛说。 “两侧胸腔里好像都有少量积血。”我说。 “这人怎么感觉怪怪的。”陈诗羽比林涛好学多了，说，“以往看见你们打开死者胸腔的时候，中间那一块是……是心脏对吧？” “是的，心包。”我说。 “可是，以往看见你们拿下胸骨的时候，心脏这里应该是红黄相间的吧。”陈诗羽说。 我点点头，赞许地说：“对，因为纵隔、胸腺和心包都在这一块，所以脂肪、腺体是黄色的，其他组织是红色的。你看到的这是一个异常的纵隔，纵隔里有大量的血液，我们叫作纵隔血肿。如果我没有猜错的话，死者的死因就在这里了！毕竟形成这么大面积的血肿，已经足以让死者死亡了。” “别说那么专业，什么隔？这说明什么问题？”林涛急了。 “我现在说的话，也太不负责任了。”我举起手术刀，说，“具体的原因，我需要进一步检查，才能知道。” 我用手术刀切开纵隔，但是因为眼前一片血肿，根本就不可能具体分辨纵隔之内各组织的位置关系。在这种时候，就只能靠“手感”了。 很多经验丰富的外科医生，触觉比视觉更重要。在手术当中，手感好的外科医生可以更快地结束战斗，对患者造成的医源性损伤也就更小。同样，法医也是这样，在死者体内存在大量血液污染视野的情况下，手感就显得很重要了。 我用手术刀逐层分离纵隔，眼前的各组织更加清晰了。主动脉被我单独分离出来以后，我用纱布仔细地擦拭了它的周围，很快，大家看到它的上面有一个裂口。 “主动脉破了？”大宝吃了一惊，“主动脉怎么会破的？” “是一个主动脉夹层动脉瘤。”我指了指破裂口的周围，说，“这个局部的区域，主动脉壁已经比较薄了，所以有破裂的危险。” 主动脉夹层动脉瘤是一种较为少见的致命性疾病，它的发生与多种疾病有关，但是它是一种非常可怕的致命性疾病。如果自己没有察觉症状，任由其发展的话，一旦在某些诱因的作用下，造成破裂，就会急骤发病而死亡。 “疾病猝死？”林涛说，“这……这也太巧了吧？刚刚猝死，然后就失火？” 我没有接话，翻出死者的两侧肺脏看了看，说：“不，主动脉夹层动脉瘤虽然有自发破裂的可能性，但是也有很多是有外界原因的。比如这个死者，不仅仅是动脉瘤破裂，而且双侧的肺脏都有轻微的挫伤。你们说，这些肺挫伤是哪里来的？” “被别人打的吗？”陈诗羽说，“可是表皮没有损伤啊。” 陈诗羽已经具备了不少法医学的知识和分析方法，我很是满意地点点头，说：“确实，正因为他的胸壁表面没有损伤，所以说明他的肺挫伤不应该来源于机械暴力。那么，最大的可能就只剩下肺脏震荡而形成的损伤了。” “震荡？”陈诗羽不解，“摔跤吗？” 我微笑不语。 大宝恍然大悟地说：“哦！原来是这样！我知道了，你们等等哈，我来开颅看看。” 在大宝用开颅锯打开死者颅腔的时候，我也没有闲着，我观察了死者的双侧鼓膜。果然不出我所料，死者的双侧鼓膜都存在穿孔，虽然穿孔形态是有生活反应的，但是穿孔边缘出血现象并不明显。 “果然如此。”大宝已经打开了死者的颅腔，脑组织表面可以看到广泛的出血点，大宝指着这些出血点说。 “你们在打什么哑谜？”林涛憋不住了。 “他们在找依据，现在依据已经找到了，基本确定，死者的损伤应该是爆炸伤。”韩法医说。 “爆炸伤？哪里爆炸了？”陈诗羽问。 “从法医的角度看，死者全身的这些损伤情况，就应该是爆炸形成的。”我用止血钳指着死者的面部，说，“最先让我怀疑是爆炸伤的，是死者眼角的那些白色的细纹。这些细纹的形成，是因为爆炸瞬间会产生强光，如果死者面向炸心，由于强光作用，就会有反射性闭眼动作，使得眼部周围的皱襞沟纹内皮肤没有热作用或者烟尘附着。机体迅速死亡后，会先出现肌肉松弛，这样，被皱襞保护的皮肤就显露了出来，形成白色的纹线。这些白色的纹线像是鹅爪的形态，所以这被法医们称为'鹅爪样改变'，是爆炸伤的一种证明。” 大家都在思索。我接着说：“爆炸产生的冲击波不仅可以导致死者的鼓膜穿孔，而且因为死亡迅速而造成穿孔部位出血不多。同时，冲击波作用于胸腔，使得胸腔压力骤然升高，这也是诱发死者原有的主动脉夹层动脉瘤破裂的原因。不仅如此，因为胸腔压力增高，上腔静脉血压骤升，回心血流逆行，可引起脑内小静脉和毛细血管扩张、破裂，导致脑组织出现广泛性的出血灶。也是一样的原理，冲击波对死者的肺脏造成了震荡，而形成了肺挫伤。有了这么多依据，我们可以肯定的是，死者死于爆炸伤。” “听你这么一说，整个现场好像是能够串起来了。”林涛说，“死者正在垃圾场里捡垃圾，不知道什么原因，突然发生了爆炸。” “可能和他口袋里的香烟有关系。”大宝说。 林涛点点头，接着说：“爆炸导致死者迅速倒地而死亡，但是在倒地的过程中，他陷入了垃圾堆里，然后恰巧被一块因为爆炸掀起来的阻燃布遮盖。爆炸虽然导致了垃圾场的大火，但是大火没有烧到垃圾平面以下有阻燃布遮盖的张建国。” “可是整个过程中，都没有人反映出那里发生了爆炸啊。”陈诗羽说。 “这个也可以解释。”林涛微笑着说，“现场环境本来就偏僻得很，周围也没有人家。爆炸发生的时候，并没有人注意到声音，反而是因为大火浓烟，才引起了周围居民，包括张建国家人的注意。” “而且爆炸并不严重。”我说，“如果是严重的爆炸，死者的衣物很有可能被炸裂。甚至有些爆炸案件中，死者身上的衣服都被冲击波给剥光。死者的皮肤也很有可能发生严重的撕脱伤。而这名死者的皮肤都是完好的，衣服也都很正常，不过是黏附了烟灰炭末。解剖检验虽然看到了损伤，但也不过是轻微肺挫伤，就连整个腹腔脏器都没有因为爆炸冲击波震荡而发生破裂，肋骨也没有折断。致死的原因，却是他曾经潜在性的致命疾病被诱发。这一切，都可以证明此次爆炸是一次轻微爆炸。既然是轻微爆炸，声音就不会太大，那么结合林涛的分析，此次爆炸没有被人发现也属正常。” “也就是说，如果张建国没有那个什么瘤子，他不一定会死？”林涛问。 “那个不是瘤子，那个是局部动脉壁薄，经不起血压的压迫，逐渐向外突出，看起来像个肿瘤一样。”我笑着说，“不过，如果不是这个原因，他确实不会死，他的其他内脏损伤都不严重，还不足以致死。” “说不定被大火烧死呢。”大宝说。 “说得也是。”我说，“不过，垃圾场里，怎么会有爆炸物呢？” “是啊，这一点很奇怪。”陈诗羽说，“消防火调部门在刚才就已经对现场进行了一次粗略的搜索，并没有发现明显的爆炸装置的零件。” “应该不是爆炸装置导致的爆炸。”我说，“一来爆炸装置不会就这么大一点威力；二来爆炸装置不应该在一个不易失火的现场导致大火。” “连失火都不易，那哪儿来的爆炸？太匪夷所思了。”大宝说。 “这个我也想不明白。”我说，“我只知道，我们费了半天劲做通了家属工作去解剖尸体，结果现在得出这样的结论，如果我们没办法找出爆炸源头，就没办法向死者家属交代。” “现在一切的希望都在现场了。”林涛说，“希望大火没有毁掉线索。不过现场那么大，我们去哪里找线索才是捷径呢？” “有办法。”我说，“你们别忘了'鹅爪样改变'。既然我们知道死者在爆炸瞬间是面向炸点的，又知道死者倒地后很快死亡，没有体位的变动，那么根据他倒地的姿势就应该可以分析出他在爆炸瞬间面向的位置，也就是炸点的大概位置。” “而且，既然有'鹅爪样改变'，说明他离炸点不远。”大宝说，“不然，这大白天里，强光衰减以后，就不会引起人的反射性闭眼了。” 我微笑着点了点头，说：“我们赶紧复勘现场，越早勘查，找到线索的希望就越大。” 消防火灾调查部门的同事还在现场进行搜索，他们也有他们的压力。他们也寄希望于在天黑之前，可以找到火灾发生的线索。 我们见现场的垃圾都已经被水浸泡，是强大的高压水枪作用形成的，所以从勘查车里拿出胶鞋穿上，然后深一脚浅一脚地向发现尸体的位置走去。 上午看现场的时候，因为是消防官兵直接运出了尸体，所以我们没有进入垃圾场。进入垃圾场的时候，才发现实在是举步维艰。腐烂的垃圾受到水的浸泡，更加腐臭难闻，和尸臭味差不多了。关键是走在垃圾的上面，完全不知道下一脚会不会踏空。 林涛拿着勘查笔录和现场图，现场图是在发现尸体的时候，程子砚画下来的，现在居然发挥了极大的作用。我们跟着林涛，走到了现场图中标记的位置。 林涛看了看现场图，又看了看周围的环境，指着地面说：“喏，就这里了。” 我的方向感不强，所以当了法医。作为一名痕迹检验员，是一定要具备强烈方向感的。根据现场的状况能完成现场图的绘画，又要根据现场图的记录来重新建立现场模型。我自认为在这一点上，我被林涛甩了几条街。 “尸体是右侧卧位躺着的，如果把他原位立起来，就应该是面朝东南，嗯，对，应该是东南。”林涛一边比画着一边说。 “东南，是……”我尴尬地问。 “这边。”林涛一脸鄙视。 眼前是一片焦土。 从我们一路走过来的经验看，这一片被焚毁的烟灰炭末之下，有着各种各样的城市垃圾。我们在很多火灾现场，会把所有的灰烬都筛一遍，寻找隐藏在灰烬里的秘密。不过，这么大面积的灰烬，显然用这种方法已经无法奏效了。 那么，该怎么去寻找线索呢？我们仅仅知道一个方向，和一个大概的区域。 我往尸体位置的东南方向走了几步，漫无目的地踱着步，用胶鞋的鞋尖踢着烧毁了的不知道什么物体，偶尔蹲下来，把灰烬扒拉开，想发现一些有价值的物体。 可是，谈何容易啊。 “为啥我闻见一股特殊的味道？”同样在我的身后漫无目的地寻找的大宝，突然来了一句。 “啥味道？”林涛拿着一把消防锹，随机挖上几锹，“这里要么就是烧焦的味，要么就是垃圾腐臭味，我也闻得到。” “不对不对。”大宝吸了吸鼻子，说，“大概就这一块地方，你挖挖看。” 林涛狐疑地走过来，用消防锹开始掘地，突然，林涛停了下来。 我见有戏，赶紧凑过来看，努力地从满目焦黑中寻找不一样的地方。 “我知道了，是中药味！”大宝一蹦三尺高，“我知道了！罗雪琴的助力车！他们说有中药味！” “走火入魔了吧？”我说，“这么大火，什么中药味不被烧没了？” “谁说的？”大宝说，“很多中草药在受到高温之后，气味会更加浓重好不好？你们中医学没学过吗？” “可能大宝是对的。”林涛看了看我，蹲下身去，从他挖的坑里抓住一个什么东西，使劲一拽，果然拽上来一个烧焦了的车轮毂。 “垃圾场里有两轮助力车？”我陷入沉思。 此时，消防火调部门的同事也闻声赶了过来，几个人互相帮衬着，把一辆几乎被烧毁的助力车车架从灰烬里拖了出来。 “是不是它发生了爆炸？”大宝急着问。 一名消防火调部门的少校军官把助力车扶正，仔仔细细地看了有二十分钟，面色凝重地说：“基本可以肯定，这个车，就是爆炸、起火源。” “如何确定？”我吃了一惊。 “说起专业问题，就比较复杂了。”少校军官说，“简单说，助力车的油箱爆裂，符合爆炸所致。而且这辆车的油箱口存在制造瑕疵，一旦车辆长时间倾倒放置，油箱里的部分燃油就会从油箱口旁边的缝隙里渗出来。” “也就是说，这辆车在这里放了不短的时间了，而且是倾倒放置，所以燃油慢慢地渗出，覆盖了周围的垃圾。”林涛接着话说，“然后死者的烟头，可能点燃了漏出来的燃油，然后就像导火索一样，引燃了油箱里的油。因为油箱体积有限，就导致了小规模的爆炸。爆炸本身没有多少抛出物，但是距离很近的张建国却被冲击波诱发了原有疾病突发死亡。” “油箱爆炸后，箱内的燃油作为助燃物，引发了火灾，火烧大了，就波及了周围的垃圾。”军官说。 “可是烟头不算是明火吧？能引燃汽油？”大宝问。 “正常情况下是不容易引燃。但是燃油如果有挥发气体，或者烟头引燃了其他的小物体，产生了明火，都是可以引发火灾和爆炸的。”军官说，“无巧不成书，但是从这个车架保留下来的痕迹看，我们已经可以确定它就是元凶了。” 我们关注的重点当然不在这里。 我重新把助力车架放倒，想在车里寻找一些其他的线索。 “挺奇怪的，助力车即便是坏的，也能卖个两三百块钱。扔这里简直解释不通，而且，车里还有不少油呢。”军官说，“要能渗出不少油，还得能引起爆炸和大火，我看至少还有半箱油。” “扔在这里，是因为它是赃物！”此时的我很是激动，在助力车残存的车架之内，我们不仅找到了疑似包装中药的塑料包碎片，更是找到了一沓没有被完全焚毁的纱布。 “我早就叫你进来搜！你还谦虚！你简直比警犬还厉害。”林涛拍了一下大宝的后脑勺。 “我们已经有足够的证据证明，这辆助力车就是罗雪琴的助力车。”我说，“既然凶手把它藏在垃圾场里，根据'远抛近埋'的理论，凶手的工作室应该离这个垃圾场不远。而且，这个垃圾场正好是市区的西北方，和我们侦查部门前期的调查情况相吻合。” “那我们现在该怎么办？”陈诗羽精神抖擞。 我沉思了一下，说：“我记得，我们一路上看到好多废弃的房子，这些说不定都会被凶手利用。现在要调集特警支队，以垃圾场为圆心，对周围废弃的房屋进行地毯式搜查。还有失踪人员没有找到，所以我们要尽快！” “那这辆车，我们得带走。”少校军官完全不知道我们在说什么。 “不行，这可能是一起重大刑事案件的关键证物，所以我们必须原物提取。”我坚定地说。 军官看了看我坚定的表情，也没有坚持，说：“也行，不过我们要全方位拍照，回去好出调查报告。” “好。”我抬腕看了看表，让陈诗羽赶紧去向“指环专案”指挥部报告，请求指挥部调集人手。 大宝看了看刚刚结束工作，正准备收队的消防救援大队，对少校军官说：“首长，能不能把你们的救援大队借
