Chapter 341: An Unexpected Clue
Chapter 341: An Unexpected Clue
Repeat the screen again, and Chen Yan observes carefully.
So it's here...
Pausing the screen is the moment when the fox jumps away.
Tail... the color of the tail is wrong!
Although infrared cameras cannot present color images at night, it does not mean that all images are exactly the same gray.
In the infrared camera under the night, different colors have different shades of gray.
White, for example, appears very light gray.
It's easy to tell.
The black is very deep and easy to distinguish.
In the fox in the video, the color of the whole body is consistent, very light gray.
Chen Yan can basically tell that this is a white fox.
However, the moment the fox jumped away, its tail was raised, but there was a touch of deep gray, which made everything seem out of harmony.
Why does this white fox have a black spot on its tail?
You know, in the hair of animals, the growth of hair is regular.
Spots are a feature that is only found in certain species.
Such as black and white spotted dog, black and white spotted cat or black and white spotted cow.
However, these species are basically deliberately hybridized through human intervention.
Have you ever seen animals with black and white spots in nature?
There seems to be nothing but pandas.
So why is there a dark spot on the tail of this fox, which is very irregular in shape.
It's like brushing a blotch on it.
For example, in a flock of sheep, in order to distinguish whose family the sheep belong to, the owner will paint the tail or ears of the sheep.
this fox...
Is it the same?
And sound.
Gululu...
There is a kind of bird living near Maoer Mountain, and its cry is this kind of gurgling sound.
However, from the previous week's video, all the bird calls that Chen Yan heard were Gulululu...
Instead of grunting.
In the video on the night of the 29th, the sound of the bird that woke up the fox was different from the previous sound!
leave the office.
Chen Yan went straight to the meeting room.
Wang Min and Zhang Kai are discussing the case.
The others haven't come back yet, they are all investigating the work that Chen Yan arranged last night.
Seeing the happy look on Chen Yan's face, Wang Min was refreshed: How about it, do you have a clue?
Um.
Chen Yan nodded affirmatively, connected the computer video, and started the projection: There are some problems with the video of the night when the crime happened.
Brother Wang,
Look at the tail of this fox...
Also, the bird call that woke up the fox...
In fact, watching the video of the fox alone, or listening to the bird call alone, seems to be no problem.
However, when Chen Yan compared the normal white fox infrared video with the video, and the normal bird calls with the video, the differences became obvious.
Yawen Bar
Without waiting for Chen Yan to explain, Wang Min played the video three times in person.
Finding problems is Chen Yan's forte, but Wang Min is no worse than Chen Yan when it comes to reasoning.
Among the cases handled in these years, Wang Min has seen more than one case of using animals to kill people.
There is more than one detective.
Therefore, the details discovered by Chen Yan confirmed a guess that Wang Min had always had in his mind.
In other words, at least there is a certain reasoning basis.
After the playback stopped, Wang Min handed Chen Yan and Zhang Kai a cigarette each, and lit one himself: Do you suspect... that someone intentionally kept animals in captivity to kill?
Yes!
After taking the cigarette, Chen Yan nodded affirmatively: The fox in the video has a fat body, and when passing by the camera, his gait is light, not as cautious as ordinary wild animal hunting.
Chen Yan didn't have any surprises when Wang Min stated his thoughts clearly.
If Wang Min didn't think of this after watching the comparison video, Chen Yan felt strange.
There is a big difference between captive animals and wild animals.
Chen Yan watched a video of a fox looking for food on a short video.
The spirit is highly concentrated and cautious.
It's not like the fox in the video, it's like walking leisurely.
And the fox in the video, just like what Chen Yan described, is fat.
For animals living in the wild, even if the food is particularly rich, the animals themselves need to catch them.
The amount of exercise will be very high.
Therefore, there are very few particularly fat animals in the wild.
Especially now, in the black market wilderness forest in May, the vegetation is not yet lush, and the fruits of the trees were consumed by small animals as early as last autumn and winter.
It is the time of year when food is least abundant.
But how did this fox eat so much fat.
And then there was that bird call.
It sounds nothing at first, but compared with the real bird song, the sound is a bit rough and the length is wrong.
Obviously, this should be the owner of the fox, calling for his pet.
I suggest to investigate all animal farms on the black market.
We found traces of many different types of animals biting and gnawing at the corpses at the scene of the crime.
Creating the appearance that the victim was attacked to death by an animal.
Perhaps, this is intentional by the murderer behind the scenes to draw our attention.
So as to ignore the real black hands behind the scenes.
I agree!
Wang Min agreed with Chen Yan's judgment very much.
Turning around, Wang Min looked at Zhang Kai: Zhang Kai, you are responsible for this matter.
Investigation work should be conducted in secret, and don't startle the snake by making mistakes.
Yes!
The next job is to investigate and collect evidence carefully.
Whether it is the investigation of the relationship between the six people or the investigation of smuggling, it did not end so quickly.
At present, all clues at the scene have been excavated.
All that's left is to wait.
The next day, the morning of May 3rd.
Zhang Jianguo, who was in charge of the autopsy, brought unexpected news.
Team Leader Wang, we found some special material residues on the corpse.
dissecting room.
Last night, we detected an alkaline substance on some dead body tissues embedded in tree trunks.
Zhang Jianguo began to introduce what he discovered last night.
When Chen Yan and others brought back the body tissues from the 36 crime scenes, they also brought back the corresponding tree trunk tissues.
For example, at the scene marked 37, the broken fingernail was inserted into the tree trunk. How did it happen?
The trace identification team has been testing, but unfortunately, no useful information has been detected on the trunk.
This substance can soften the trees, but after ablation, it will not leave any traces.
The internal staff of the trace identification team also nodded: This substance is an alkaline veneer softener.
Colorless and odorless, sprayed on the bark, it softens the bark for a period of time.
Then it evaporates in the air.
So, we didn't detect it in the trunk.
Zhang Jianguo and the others also found it in some wounds during the autopsy.
It should be due to the blockage of blood coagulation, so it has not completely evaporated.
Where is this kind of thing sold?
The insider in charge of trace identification shook his head: This softener is not very practical because it can only soften the bark.
There are basically no sales in China.
If there is no domestic, it is only available abroad.
After leaving the dissection room, Wang Min made a phone call.
Since this matter has something to do with the Big Bear Country, it is very likely that the murderer bought this softener from the Big Bear Country.
I'll let the people over there check it out.
Chen Yan nodded and followed Wang Min to the trace identification room.
Is there any result from the shoe prints collected on site?
-----Off Topic-----
It is still under review and has not been sent yet.
