Chapter 102: Thawing
Crossing the province will make the case more complex.
But for the "Wu Longshan Wild Man Case," this means that there may be new clues.
Because the previous series of data and judgments were all based on Shannan Province. And now, Jiang Yuan and Liu Jinghui naturally thought about whether Pingzhou Province, which is a few days' journey away, would have new evidence and data?
The few days spent here are all hunter paths in the mountains, which means that the perpetrator is likely to use this to travel between Pingzhou Province and Shannan Province.
And the cases that occurred in Pingzhou Province had not been included in the scope of observation before.
"Go to Langgu County first." Liu Jinghui was not dazzled by the opportunity. In his current state, it would be very difficult for him to go to the provincial bureau of Pingzhou and explain his identity clearly. It might even be played as a joke for several years.
A group of people seized the time to go down the mountain, notified the local county bureau in Langgu County in advance, and finally got on a vehicle with assistance.
First go to the reception house to tidy up, and after looking like a human, Liu Jinghui borrowed a car and a driver and ran to Pingzhou. Jiang Yuan didn't follow, first sorted out the evidence, stored it in Langgu County, put it in cold storage if it should be refrigerated, put it in a dry place if it should be dried, and compared it on the internal network if it could be put on the internal network.
This process is quite cumbersome, especially the procedures in the middle, the information to be filled in and the signatures, one can't be less.
Jiang Yuan is not familiar with Langgu County, doesn't know the level of the criminal science squadron here, and doesn't dare to do pressure tests on the evidence of such an important case, so he signs the lists one by one according to the procedures, making the captain of the Langgu County criminal science squadron scold his mother.
A few hours later, after doing what should be done, Jiang Yuan had a wild sleep in the reception house.
Waking up again, Jiang Yuan saw Liu Jinghui sitting in front of the bed, looking at himself with a hot face, and couldn't help but shiver.
"Are you awake?" Liu Jinghui had an expression of visiting a seriously ill patient, put down his phone and said: "I checked, Li Sanqiu is indeed not the first victim. Pingzhou Province also found a body last year, shot to death, but the head was taken away by animals, and the identity was not confirmed."
"A bit perverted." Jiang Yuan covered himself with the quilt and sat up.
"It is very perverted. These people treat killing as a common thing." Liu Jinghui nodded in agreement.
"I'm not talking about them." Jiang Yuan looked at where Liu Jinghui was sitting. This guy moved the chair over by himself, sitting as steady as Mount Tai, looking like he was determined to wait for him to wake up.
Liu Jinghui waved his hand: "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I know you are tired too, let you sleep a little longer. Don't feel too warm-hearted."
Jiang Yuan walked all the way with Liu Jinghui and got to know his temperament a little bit. He sighed and asked: "The body you mentioned, how is it identified as a gunshot wound? Is the weapon the same?"
Liu Jinghui shook his head: "Different. The body here was hit by a shotgun, with steel balls stuck in the ribs."
"Ours is a 9mm pistol bullet." Jiang Yuan doesn't understand gun and bullet identification. This conclusion was passed back by the technicians in the rear.
And from the perspective of the case, the difference between pistol bullets and shotgun bullets is still relatively large.
In the current environment in China, those who hold pistols other than law enforcement officers must be dangerous people. 9mm bullets are more special, unlike shotguns, which still have a certain amount of ownership to this day.
Nowadays, some places still allow hunting wild boars and the like. This may also be one of the reasons why Pingzhou didn't take out the shooting case and investigate it with great fanfare.
Of course, not finding the head and failing to confirm the identity is estimated to be a more important reason.
Jiang Yuan got up and washed his face, asking: "Are we going to investigate the cases together now?"
Liu Jinghui gave a negative answer: "I don't think it's necessary."
Jiang Yuan couldn't help but look over: "Why?"
After running a big circle with great difficulty, the result is not to investigate the cases together, is it to start all over again?
Liu Jinghui didn't need Jiang Yuan to say it, and said: "It's almost starting all over again. I have carefully looked at the cases in Pingzhou. Basically, there is no updated information. Investigating together with them is just troublesome."
"Don't even want the information about firearms?"
"When we solve the case and want to file a lawsuit, let the procuratorate handle it themselves." Liu Jinghui waved his hand handsomely, tightened his newly changed shirt collar and tie, exhaled a long breath, and said: "Let's walk the hunter path again."
"Still walking?" Jiang Yuan's face collapsed.
After this trip, if it weren't for the big roosters to make up for it, he would have lost at least five pounds.
Jiang Yuan recalled the itinerary along the way and couldn't help but say: "We were very careful along the way, and it's hard to have any new discoveries if we walk again... Do you have any new goals?"
"How about changing a road?"
"Change what road?"
"It should be the other way around." Liu Jinghui likes to prove his reasoning in front of people. He broke his fingers and said: "First of all, let's talk about the information we know. This is a group of desperate people."
Jiang Yuan nodded.
Liu Jinghui broke the second finger and said: "Secondly, what is their purpose for traveling through the hunter path? I estimate it is three types: drug trafficking, poaching, smuggling. I am more inclined to poaching."
"And then?"
"Then, we walk the hunter path again, which can prove their route." Liu Jinghui said: "I have asked colleagues from the provincial bureau to come and help, to see what the route suitable for poaching is like. Then, let's try to see if we can find the body..."
"If found, does it prove that it was done by poachers?" Jiang Yuan understood Liu Jinghui's thinking.
Liu Jinghui nodded and said: "In Wu Longshan Mountain, poaching happens from time to time, but this group of people should be of a very deep level. If they kill people when they see them, the cases in their hands are estimated to be quite a few..."
Jiang Yuan listened, only feeling very tired.
Not only is walking the hunter path again tiring, very tiring, but Liu Jinghui's investigation plan is also tiring to listen to.
Walking the hunter path again, and looking for bodies...
Where are bodies so easy to find.
The two bodies found now were discovered by chance. Assuming there are other bodies—Jiang Yuan estimates that there should indeed be other people who died near the hunter path, but in the environment of Wu Longshan Mountain, no one else reported finding bodies, not because no one encountered them, but mostly because the search of wild animals is much more meticulous than that of humans.
In short, Liu Jinghui still put forward a very good theory, but wanting to prove his theory requires exhausting efforts!
And it's others who are exhausted.
Liu Jinghui is too familiar with this kind of technician like Jiang Yuan, but Jiang Yuan's comprehensive strength is unexpectedly strong. Liu Jinghui laughed twice and said: "Either catch from the other end, catch poaching, find the one who sells the stolen goods... If you do this, I would rather hand it over to the local criminal police team."
Between the words, Liu Jinghui's posture was a bit high again.
Jiang Yuan drank a big mouthful of water again, felt a little annoyed, and said: "Then what good way do you have to find the body?"
Liu Jinghui asked back: "What way do you have?"
"Get two more dogs?" Jiang Yuan said, feeling unreliable himself.
Liu Jinghui also said: "The impact of the natural environment on police dogs is too great. The two corpse-finding dogs we found a few days ago already belong to very professional ones."
Jiang Yuan curled his lips: "Dogs don't work, what should we do."
"I think you can find it." Liu Jinghui said to Jiang Yuan: "I have confidence in you."
Jiang Yuan looked up at Liu Jinghui, not knowing whether the evaluation of "better than a dog" counts as scolding.
"Just kidding." Liu Jinghui laughed twice and said: "This time I will ask people to buy some convenient food, get some meat, and bring it with us..."
"Let's look at that body first." Jiang Yuan said: "The headless body shot by a shotgun you just mentioned."
"That's fine. I'll prepare the equipment for going out." Liu Jinghui actually felt it was not very necessary. He trusted Jiang Yuan's fingerprint ability and scene investigation ability more, but he didn't find Jiang Yuan's forensic technology surprising.
This was originally normal. Young people doing criminal investigation often don't know what they are good at when they first enter the industry, and it is normal to go astray. Those who can reveal their specialties are already lucky ones among them.
Just like Liu Jinghui himself, the specialty he discovered was logical reasoning ability.
However, Jiang Yuan wanted to do an autopsy, and Liu Jinghui didn't object. A phone call went over, and it was arranged.
Early the next morning, Jiang Yuan went to the funeral home in Langgu County and started his first autopsy outside the area.
The autopsy room of the Langgu County funeral home was even simpler than that of Ningtai County.
The autopsy table with a sense of age was made like a dining cabinet in a student cafeteria. When the body was placed on it, the corpse fluid that flowed out couldn't flow down smoothly.
The body was in a thawing state, inevitably appearing rotten, and the not very good ventilation environment made the smell in the autopsy room even more unpleasant.
Li Zhen, a forensic doctor in Langgu County, also looked very old. His skin was wrinkled and stuck to the dry and thin muscles, feeling like he was seventy or eighty years old. Perhaps he was adapted to the environment. Li Zhen only wore a mask and only handed Jiang Yuan a mask, saying: "You asked for it last night, so I took the body out. It was frozen hard, and it hasn't completely thawed yet."
The body was discovered last year and had been placed in the ice coffin of the funeral home for a year. The skin that was still there had turned blue-black, and there were faintly rotten venous networks appearing. This shows that the rotten gas in the body had entered the blood vessels and started to dye the venous network.
Jiang Yuan didn't hesitate to take out the gas mask he brought and said: "I'll wear this."
"You young people." Li Zhen muttered, saying: "When we did autopsies in those years, masks couldn't even be guaranteed. I see that there are still people wearing protective clothing now..."
"The conditions are much better now." Jiang Yuan said cooperatively, and put his attention on the body.
Li Zhen also observed him.
Just by age, Li Zhen's age is almost three times that of Jiang Yuan. In terms of qualifications, Li Zhen is a forensic doctor of the same generation as Wu Jun. When they were young, such qualifications could point to the nose and scold.
Now, of course, it won't work. Furthermore, Jiang Yuan was brought by the provincial bureau. Looking at the monk's face and looking at the Buddha's face, Li Zhen also has to give enough face.
However, outside of these human relationships, Li Zhen didn't look at Jiang Yuan at all. He didn't want to say anything heavy, just watched Jiang Yuan work, just waiting for him to be satisfied and send him away.
Jiang Yuan didn't need Li Zhen to help much. If the other party didn't make trouble or talk nonsense, he would be Amitabha. ===== CHAPTER 103 =====
