Chapter 281: The scene of the crime
Yesterday morning, Zhang Jiantao and I entered this urban village at 8:30 in the morning.
In the car, Liu Qingshan introduced the details of the two entering the village in the city in a deep voice.
Three days ago, the important members of the trafficking gang we have been looking for are likely to be in this urban village.
In order to save time and reduce the target, Jiantao and I went into the village in disguise to inquire about the situation separately.
We agreed to meet at a noodle shop at the main entrance of the urban village at 12 noon.
I waited until 12:10, but I didn't see Zhang Jiantao, so I called him, but was prompted to shut down the phone.
Wang Shun on the side took the call: Captain Liu called me at 12:13.
At that time, we all realized that something might have happened. At 1 o'clock yesterday, 14 search teams entered the city to look for Zhang Jiantao's whereabouts.
At 4:32 this morning, one of the teams found Zhang Jiantao in a sewer in the village.
While listening to Wang Shun and Liu Qingshan's reports, Chen Yan checked the information of this urban village.
Songjia Village is the name of this village in the city.
In the early years, because most of the people living in the village were people with the surname Song, it was named Songjia Village, and it was one of the three largest urban villages in Tieshi.
There are nearly 10,000 households, 30,000 permanent residents, and almost 50,000 migrant workers and migrant workers who rent here.
Against the Gods
Songjia Village has existed for a relatively long time, with a history of about 60 years.
The buildings in the village are dense and the houses are old.
Many houses have been added or dug basements over the years.
In the whole village, the topography is very complicated, and the population living in it is also very mixed.
Of course, in such a large urban village, it was impossible for Liu Qingshan and Zhang Jiantao to come in and investigate without any preparation.
The main area they investigated was in the northeast corner of the village in the city.
Song Wenlong, an important member of the trafficking gang they have been looking for recently, lives in that area.
We came in yesterday not to catch Song Wenlong.
Liu Qingshan lit a cigarette and took a deep puff: I want to find out the situation of this person's stronghold in the village in the city.
Investigate whether the trafficking gang also has business here.
Putting down the materials, Chen Yan leaned slightly on the back of the chair.
In such a large urban village, it is unrealistic to close the investigation.
It can only be struck with precision, otherwise it will cause panic, and the opponent will definitely shrink all the tentacles.
When the time comes, it will not be easy to find the other party.
The creak, the harsh sound of tires rubbing against the ground, brought Chen Yan back to reality.
Chen Yan, it's here.
Get off the bus and it's a dead end.
The edge has been cordoned off, and four detectives are on alert.
Chen Yan put on his gloves and walked quickly into the alley.
A sewer manhole cover has been lifted.
That's where Zhang Jiantao's body was found.
Before I got close to the manhole cover, an unpleasant stench came to my nostrils.
This is the sewer that discharges domestic sewage.
Chen Yan originally wanted to rely on unlocking the olfactory gene lock to see if he could find some clues.
But now it seems that the possibility is very small.
Under the cover of this stench, it will be very difficult to distinguish other smells.
However, there is always a silver lining...
Putting on a mask, Chen Yan climbed in along the sewer cover.
The sewers in urban villages are relatively narrow, so it is naturally impossible for pedestrians to pass through.
The discovered Zhang Jiantao was thrown in after the murderer opened the manhole cover.
After Chen Yan went in, it was naturally impossible for Liu Qingshan and Wang Shun to go in.
Ten minutes later, Chen Yan climbed up.
How many people went in before I went down?
Three people, Liu Qingshan replied very positively: I found that no one from Zhang Jiantao's search team went down.
After they found the body, they reported it as soon as possible.
Apart from Team Wang and me, only one detective from the identification team has ever gone in.
Is the detective there?
Here! Wang Shun turned his head: Old Wen, come here.
A middle-aged detective who had been by everyone's side hurried over: Captain Wang, call me.
Group leader Chen, this is Wen Jianguo. You saw him last time when he was handling the case.
Chen Yan nodded. Chen Yan had seen this Wen Jianguo when he was handling a case in Tieshi last time.
This is an autopsy expert from the Iron City Police Department, with very experienced experience.
Hello, Team Leader Chen!
Old Wen, don't be rude to me, what's the result of your inspection?
It's kind of weird!
What's strange, tell me?
Wen Jianguo pointed to the sewer: Judging from the stiffness of the corpse, the time Comrade Zhang Jiantao was murdered should be...
Wen Jianguo looked down at his watch: About 13 hours ago, it was around 11:30 last night.
However, if he was killed at this time, there should be no corpse spots on Zhang Jiantao's body.
You know, the schedule of corpse spots is usually 12 hours later.
However, in the sewers, the scars formed by the corpses from squeezing the walls of the sewers and iron pickpockets are very deep.
At least it will be formed after 24 hours.
Chen Yan nodded.
Chen Yan also discovered this doubt.
What Wen Jianguo said was strange was that the degree of stiffness of the corpse did not correspond to the time of the traces formed by the plaques.
Generally speaking, this is not possible.
In this case, there is usually only one possibility.
That is the change in ambient temperature.
In particular, the stiffness of the corpse is greatly affected by changes in the ambient temperature.
When the temperature around the corpse is lower, the time of stiffness of the corpse will naturally be faster.
Conversely, if the temperature around the corpse is high, the hardness of the corpse will naturally become lighter within the same period of time.
The condition of Zhang Jiantao's body showed that when he died, the surrounding temperature must have been relatively high.
Moreover, Chen Yan had just activated the olfactory gene lock in the sewer.
Although most of the smell was disturbed by the stench of the sewer, Chen Yan still made a discovery.
The smell of wormwood.
On Zhang Jiantao's body, there was a very faint smell of wormwood.
Of course, just based on the smell of wormwood, it cannot be determined that there must be wormwood in the place where Zhang Jiantao was killed.
However, this can at least prove that Zhang Jiantao must have been in an environment lit by wormwood for a long time.
Brother Wang, focus on checking all the bathhouses, acupuncture, massage and other places in the villages in the city.
Especially in the environment with wormwood incense, we must focus on investigation!
As for the other human scents, Chen Yan really couldn't distinguish them.
The smell in the sewer was too strong, not to mention the murderer, even Wen Jianguo's smell, Chen Yan couldn't distinguish it.
While Wang Shun was arranging the investigation, Chen Yan and others finally removed Zhang Jiantao's body from the sewer.
Preliminary judgment, Wen Jianguo examined Zhang Jiantao's body again: The cause of Zhang Jiantao's death at the same time was internal bleeding.
According to the depth of the corpse plaques, he should have been killed around 10 am yesterday.
10 o'clock!
In other words, Zhang Jiantao and Liu Qingshan were killed within two hours of being separated.
Zhang Jiantao was severely beaten by the opponent before his death.
There are bloodstains on his body, which should be from the whip.
Extensive bruising on the chest.
The other party should use pillows, books, etc. to pad his chest, and then hit him hard with a heavy object.
This kind of injury is difficult to find if the victim is still alive.
But if the body dies, it will cause a large area of bruises like now.
The tendons of both feet and hands were cut off by a sharp weapon...
Wait... Chen Yan stepped forward to carefully observe Zhang Jiantao's ear holes: Bring the tweezers!
Twirling lightly, Wen Jianguo and Liu Qingshan saw Chen Yan take out a tampon from Zhang Jiantao's left ear.
Then, a stream of mercury flowed out!
Chen Yan frowned. He had never seen such a situation.
On the other hand, Wen Jianguo and Liu Qingshan's expressions suddenly changed.
