Chapter 314: Warmth

For a murder mystery with more than a dozen people, no, a meeting, as long as it goes through three or four rounds, an afternoon is almost over.

Jiangfuzhen and his chefs started the evening catering service again. According to Jiang Yuan's request, the first thing served was shredded tripe soup.

The sour and spicy shredded tripe soup was steaming hot, appetizing and warming the stomach, most suitable for comrades who ate a bit too much at noon.

If some colleagues vomited because of this, it would be clearing the intestines and stomach.

Jiang Yuan also distributed a tablet computer to everyone. If anyone wanted to read a certain photo carefully, they could find it themselves.

Jiang Yuan himself was the same. With the shredded tripe soup, he looked at the charred corpse for a long time.

Other police officers also started discussing in twos and threes. When the soup was finished, Meng Chengbiao saw that everyone's state was a bit lazy, so he suggested: "Team Jiang, can we change the discussion method?"

"Oh, go ahead."

"We change the order, just assume we are the murderer, want to commit arson, or murder, under what circumstances would we choose the situation we see?" With Meng Chengbiao's age and qualifications, if he were not in the Criminal Police Detachment, in other places, he would at least be a small leader leading a team, and he also had his own set of management philosophy and case-solving methods.

Seeing Jiang Yuan had no objection, Shen Yaowei, who was most familiar with the case, immediately said: "If I were the killer, assuming my goal was this female victim, then I must first determine her location, or just guard her, and then kill and set fire. The male warehouse keeper was just collateral damage, and was burned to death together. So I am a familiar perpetrator?"

He was actually following the ideas of his cousin Shen Yaoguo and changed it, because he already knew that the male warehouse keeper was not the target.

Meng Chengbiao was not very satisfied with Shen Yaowei's answer, but still helped him modify it: "Whether it is a familiar perpetrator is hard to say, but the female victim was indeed killed first and then set on fire. The male warehouse keeper was burned to death directly."

This order, in fact, can be explained in any way. According to the investigation direction of Shen Yaoguo and others before, they believed that the killer was the warehouse keeper's cousin, who entered the warehouse to steal, but was bumped into by the female victim, and had to kill her. Afterward, in order to cover up the crime, he set fire to the warehouse, and then in the accident, or half-pushed and half-forced, burned the male warehouse keeper to death.

Stories all make sense, so the key is actually the direction of the evidence.

Next was Wang Chuanxing's turn. He thought about it and said: "If I were to kill someone, I might not have set the warehouse on fire. Because the case was magnified. The warehouse over there originally only had the female boss and the warehouse keeper. Since they were both killed, such a large warehouse, I could dismember the body, or take it away and dump the body. There was no need to burn the corpse."

"Burning the corpse is simpler. The burned corpse might be more effective in interfering with the investigation than dismembering and dumping the body." Meng Chengbiao said cooperatively.

Wang Chuanxing said: "The victims' time of death was at night, right? In the warehouse at night, there is absolutely plenty of space, and I don't worry about using machinery. Then I can dismember the body first, put it in a bag, make it into a state that is easy for one person to operate, and then take it outside to dump the body, bury the body. Even, I can get a gasoline drum and burn the corpse slowly in the warehouse. Isn't it more efficient than burning it directly?"

Miao Liyuan said: "You are all starting from the perspective of interfering with the investigation. This is hindsight thinking. Moreover, burning two people, putting them in bags, or even burning the corpse, how long would that take? During this time, the killer is completely exposed. As long as he is discovered, the preparations you made are all in vain."

Shen Yaowei also said: "Moreover, the warehouse area at night is actually full of cars coming and going. Many units' things are transported at night. The warehouse over there was for Jianyuan Pharmaceutical back then. Maybe there were cars coming to pull goods at night."

Miao Liyuan said: "The key is preparation. It shows that the killer's preparation work might not be so perfect, so, either the killer didn't make a particularly perfect plan, or, is there a component of passion killing?"

In the discussion of several criminal police officers, some obvious premises were not raised by everyone. For example, killing in a place like a warehouse, if it is premeditated murder, there must be transportation tools.

With transportation tools, one can carry larger and more professional equipment. For example, gasoline drums, for example, saws or electric saws or wire saws for dismembering bodies, for example, shovels for burying bodies, etc.

In short, if a killer with normal thinking premeditates murder in a place like a warehouse, he actually has many choices. This is also one of the reasons why Meng Chengbiao organized everyone to play "I am the killer."

Meng Chengbiao was also controlling the rhythm of the "murder mystery," and said: "I will summarize. Shen Yaowei proposed familiar perpetrator, Wang Chuanxing proposed a way to interfere with the investigation more effectively, Miao Liyuan proposed the risk problem during the killer's crime, suggesting that the killer's premeditation degree is not high, and there is a possibility of passion killing."

Meng Chengbiao paused and said: "Miao Liyuan's murder method and Shen Yaowei's murder method are actually conflicting. Just as Shen Yaowei said, precisely because it is premeditated murder, to determine the whereabouts of the female boss, he is more inclined to familiar perpetrator. And Miao Liyuan's conclusion means that the killer's motive is unreliable."

Everyone was slightly silent. Today's murder mystery, because there was no script, diverged very quickly.

On the other hand, everyone also inevitably had to consider Jiang Yuan's perception, and had to "play" very seriously.

In just over ten minutes, 30 "silly white sweet" equivalent brains were burned at the scene.

Tang Jia put away the tea, and said: "I agree with Wang Chuanxing's idea, but Wang Chuanxing's idea is purely the idea of young men. I think the killer is likely to be like me. A weakling in terms of physical strength, physics, and action ability, such as women, minors, or the elderly."

Several people looked over.

Tang Jia said: "The killer is likely to be relatively afraid or resistant to conflict. After borrowing the identity of a familiar person to kill the female boss, her physical strength is likely to be insufficient to complete the task of dismembering and dumping the body. Even she might not have planned to kill the warehouse keeper at all. So, the condition that dismembering the body in the warehouse is convenient might not exist."

"You think the warehouse keeper was completely collateral damage?" Meng Chengbiao said.

"It's possible. The killer might not have been able to rely on her body to complete the task of killing the warehouse keeper, dismembering, and dumping the body at all. Just picking up an electric saw is already very difficult for me, and I have to divide two corpses into a weight that one person can carry... "

Tang Jia gestured with her arm and said: "Then I have to divide the corpse into bags of twenty or thirty jin each. Two people are more than two hundred jin, and I have to divide at least seven or eight bags."

Criminal police have a certain understanding of dismembering bodies. The most difficult part of dismembering a body is actually the 4 large bones.

Fresh ones are very difficult to saw with ordinary electric saws, and it is easy to splash bone chips and other things, which is easy to find at the scene.

And if you can't cut the femoral head of the thigh bone, it's hard to handle with the stick and meat. If you use plastic bags, broken bones can easily pierce the bags. What should you do when the bags you calculated are not enough?

In fact, people who have renovated will have similar experiences. The carpenter master bought various materials according to the design drawing, including small nails and large screw caps, but while doing it, he would still lack this and that in the end, and had to run a few more trips to buy things.

Killing, dismembering, or burning a corpse is also like this. The problem is, halfway through dismembering, if you find that the chain of the oil saw is broken, do you want to take blood-stained clothes and go buy it in the middle of the night?

Or the splashed bone chips injured your face, and the blood dripping out stained the floor. Brother, did you bring a towel or bandage, or did you bring cleaning supplies?

"Tang Jia's analysis makes sense." Meng Chengbiao affirmed and said: "Then from your perspective, how would you kill?"

Tang Jia took a sip of water and said: "I would first buy some cosmetics that I don't usually use, take a bath and put on makeup, then wrap my head with a quick-drying towel, buy a set of clothes that are easy to move in, buy a pair of useful gloves, wear a scarf, or a hat that can cover the characteristics of the head."

Meng Chengbiao listened in a daze. Did the legal system channel turn into TV shopping?

Tang Jia continued: "My first concern is how to successfully kill the female boss. Assuming the killer's physical fitness and strength are relatively weak, the first choice should be poisoning. If poisoning doesn't work, it should be controlling or killing by using a familiar relationship."

"After killing the other party, my biggest problem is solved. Next, burning might require a lighter, or preparing a little more matches, maybe a little accelerant. Avoiding cameras, there is a long time to walk and carry heavy objects from the parking position..."

What Tang Jia said next was relatively ordinary.

Meng Chengbiao gave Tang Jia a high evaluation again, and after shouting for others to continue a round of "I am the killer," Meng Chengbiao looked at Jiang Yuan and asked: "Team Jiang, would you like to say a few words too?"

"Good." Jiang Yuan put down the meat skewer in his hand, wiped his mouth, and smiled: "This case is relatively confusing, and it is an unsolved case. Many things, we might not be able to figure out. White, will never be able to figure out. However, some things still have traces to follow."

Jiang Yuan didn't follow the idea of "I am the killer," but directly said: "I am more inclined to look at the evidence directly. The stable evidence that can be found now, one is here..."

What he released was the physical and chemical analysis of the male warehouse keeper's blood. The carbon monoxide content was 54.6%.

Jiang Yuan said: "This content is consistent with the lethal dose of dying from inhaling carbon monoxide while alive. However, considering that this warehouse keeper is actually a long-term smoker. And the co concentration in the body of a long-term smoker itself is 5% to 15%, so this figure of 54.6% is lower than the lethal dose."

Jiang Yuan then released the photo of the warehouse keeper's corpse and continued: "The male victim's head has impact injuries. This actually conforms to the injuries produced by collisions when escaping from the fire scene. However, this shows that the male victim was able to move freely when he died."

"So you also agree that the warehouse keeper didn't run away and was burned to death?" Shen Yaowei asked.

Jiang Yuan nodded and said: "So the warehouse keeper can be put aside for the time being. As for the female victim, from the autopsy photos, she was stabbed in the heart from the front with a sharp blade and died. She died very quickly. The killer was very decisive, which cannot be explained by simple passion killing or premeditated murder."

"Then..." Meng Chengbiao thought to himself, it must be one of them.

"What I want to describe here is that the killer stabbed the heart cleanly and neatly. It is very likely to be a professional who has been trained, and the strength is very large, at least possessing the strength of an ordinary adult male." Jiang Yuan said this because he thought of the fourth daughter of Jianyuan Pharmaceutical, so he used such a description.

Tang Jia heard it immediately and asked: "You think it was a strong woman, a professional with training traces, who killed the female boss with one blow?"

"Both women or men are possible." Jiang Yuan didn't lock the gender, and said: "The special task force of the current case should have had similar considerations at the time, but the main direction was the people related to the male warehouse keeper. Let's look for it along the female boss's side first."

This investigation direction is different from before, and it is very likely that everyone's emotions were high, and they picked up roast lamb, boiled steak, etc., one after another, while eating, while discussing the charred corpse.

Meng Chengbiao suddenly felt that this scene was so warm, just like when he first joined the criminal police team. The whole team was full of energy, and daily life was discussing the case enthusiastically, and then catching people with full passion. ===== CHAPTER 315 =====

This investigative direction was different from before, and highly likely to be correct. Everyone's spirits rose, and they one after another picked up roast lamb, boiled steak, and so on, discussing the corpse of Shao Jia while eating.

Meng Chengbiao suddenly felt this scene was so heartwarming, just like when he had first joined the criminal police team—the whole team was full of energy, and their daily life consisted of enthusiastic discussions about cases, followed by passionate arrests.
