Chapter 537: Time of Death

Dong dong.

Early in the morning, two police officers, led by the staff of the Qingtong Factory, knocked on the door of the expert building.

"Factory Director Yang, two police officers want to ask about the situation of the previous case." The staff introduced.

Factory Director Yang has been retired for almost ten years, but his dress is still according to the appearance when he was working. He is wearing a shirt on his upper body, ironed flat, with his cuffs rolled up, revealing the steel strap watch on his wrist.

He held a roll of newspaper in his hand, patted it lightly on the other hand, and said, "Then come in."

The two police officers looked at each other, said sorry, and entered the door.

The staff at the factory smiled and said, "I'll wait outside," and didn't enter the door directly.

Factory Director Yang's living room is still in the style of the old era, with large and cotton leather sofas, large-panel televisions, and low coffee tables placed between the leather sofas and televisions...

"Drink some tea?" Factory Director Yang asked.

"No need." The two police officers waved their hands, and then said, "Factory Director Yang, we are here to investigate the Jingyang Line triple homicide case. On April 18th and 19th of that year, what impression do you have? Tell us about it."

"This has been almost 20 years. You ask me what I did that day now, where can I remember." Factory Director Yang shook his head and asked back, "Do you remember what you did that day?"

"I was still in elementary school then." The leading police officer smiled.

Factory Director Yang was stunned and couldn't help but sigh: "Time passes so fast."

"Factory Director Yang, is your wife here? We have a few questions, just ask separately."

"Oh, she is taking care of her grandson at her son's place." Factory Director Yang shook his head and said, "And what does it have to do with her at that time?"

"We judge that the people who were walking nearby at that time should be you and your wife. So we want to ask both." The police officer saw that Factory Director Yang was not very cooperative and showed a trick.

Compared with individuals, judging factors such as the age, height, and gender of two people, and then finding people in a few lists, is relatively easier.

Jiang Yuan not only has the data of people and most families in several factories, but also refers to the transcript information in the previous investigation files.

The scope of the triple homicide case is too wide. The transcripts made by previous investigators have thousands of copies, and the various lists recorded are over ten thousand. Jiang Yuan used footprint identification to screen them, and then compared them with the twenty-something people sent by the Bald Attack Team and the Qingbai City Bureau, and finally found them door to door.

Factory Director Yang couldn't see what was behind it. At this time, he was a bit stunned: "My wife and I were walking together, how did you know? There were no cameras at that time."

"So, it was indeed you and your wife walking together, right?" The police officer smiled and still didn't explain where the news came from.

Factory Director Yang thought hard, and then asked, "Is someone reporting me?"

The police officer was amused, but still didn't say the reason, only asked, "You confirm first, which day exactly were you walking outside?"

"I already said I can't remember clearly. You say it first, and I'll recall it."

"Factory Director Yang, someone was killed on the train tracks that day, the Jingyang Line triple homicide case, how could you not remember." The police officer still gave a reminder.

Factory Director Yang determined the reason, couldn't help but calm down, pondered the language, and said, "I didn't deliberately hide it, but... there's nothing bad to say now. My wife and I did pass through the section where the incident occurred. But we passed by in the afternoon, and it didn't overlap with the time when people died at night."

"What were you doing then?" The police officer asked.

"I knew it..." Factory Director Yang said, "At that time, my wife and I secretly opened a store in the nearby market. It's not illegal, just didn't want people to know. We went to see the store that afternoon and collected the business money by the way."

The two police officers were silent for a while. For them, this was a new situation.

However, this result is not bad. Having new news and new clues is better than nothing.

The two cheered up and continued to ask.

One inquiry report after another was accumulated in this way, and finally sent back to the office of the Qingbai City Bureau.

The City Bureau specially vacated a large office, which still looked extremely crowded.

Despite this, the enthusiasm of the police officers gradually rose.

"There are really some new clues."

"It's hard to say twenty years ago, but now it's said, right."

"The key is, I didn't expect that I could really find people with footprints."

"It belongs to Jiang Yuan of Ningtai's housekeeping treasure."

In the small office next door, Zhang Shizhong was also a bit excited. He had been transferred from criminal investigation to network police for several years, but looking back, the stories of criminal investigation were obviously more exciting.

"Maybe there is really a chance." Zhang Shizhong listened to the report below and couldn't help but have some confidence.

He didn't expect that Jiang Yuan could find passersby who hadn't been found 20 years ago.

Although it can't be said that the case has been advanced, and there is no evidence directly pointing to the murderer, this beginning is still very amazing.

"Captain Jiang is back." A police officer who was chatting reminded.

Zhang Shizhong looked out from the window and just saw Jiang Yuan getting out of the car. In addition to Huang Qiangmin, there was also a senior police officer in plain clothes getting out of the car.

Soon, Jiang Yuan brought people up.

"Introduce, this is Senior Police Officer Liu Jinghui." Jiang Yuan gave up his position.

Zhang Shizhong immediately remembered and said busily, "I know Liu Chu, I often hear about it. We all use the cases Liu Chu solved as teaching materials to learn."

Liu Jinghui smiled at the familiar scene words and said, "Compared to the record, Jiang Yuan is next to him. How is the case?"

"Proceeding according to plan." Jiang Yuan introduced his "advance like a pawn every day" plan to Liu Jinghui on the road.

"Fine, I'll read the files first." Liu Jinghui naturally had no ideas and had to read the materials before deciding.

Jiang Yuan then released Liu Jinghui on the spot and began to ponder which pawn to advance today.

Jiang Yuan's choice is...

Time of Death Identification LV6.

The LV6 time of death identification itself is very excessive. If you add a temporary skill +1, you don't need particularly profound mathematical skills to know that this is LV7.

To be honest, Jiang Yuan hasn't experienced LV7 skills much.

Seeing that there is no task to advance the pawn today, Jiang Yuan left Liu Jinghui, opened the skill, and started looking at the photos.

He looked at the body photos of the second case this time.

The first victim and the third victim in the triple homicide case were both hit to death alive. Only the victim of the second case was hit to death in a dead state.

The victim who has already died means that he has been killed before, so the time of death is a key point.

However, unlike ordinary bodies, the second victim was directly smashed by the train in a body state, which made the judgment of the time of death very difficult.

In the report Jiang Yuan saw, the span of the time of death was as long as 20 hours, almost writing the words "the last two days" in it.

Jiang Yuan used LV7 time of death identification to look at it, and there was no particularly relaxed feeling.

This belongs to pure difficulty.

In fact, if the time of death is a little longer, such as more than a week, then the requirement for the judgment of the time of death is also low. The span of the time of death is 20 hours, or two days, which is not excessive.

It just so happens that the body hasn't been dead for long, so the difficulty of judging it has become very high.

Jiang Yuan took out the photos one by one and looked at them over and over again.

In the photos, there are heads of bodies smashed, intestines scattered on gravel, white bone stubble, and lifted skin...

Jiang Yuan looked extremely carefully.

When the second body was found, this was not a triple homicide case, so the body was eventually cremated, so there were only photos to look at.

Of course, even if the body was left, it would be useless to keep it until now. At most, there are only bones to look at.

But in that era, there were not many forensic doctors who kept bones.

"How is it?"

I don't know how long it took, Liu Jinghui also looked tired of the documents and strolled over.

"Dead for 6 to 8 hours." Jiang Yuan put down the photos and said, "It's hard to get closer."

Liu Jinghui raised his eyebrows: "It's already very precise, but the time of death is 6 to 8 hours, which is very different from the time of death of about a day."

"How to say?"

"A body of about 100 catties is not easy to transport to the railway. If the victim was killed only six or seven hours ago, it means that the murderer has to start throwing the body without stopping. This psychological quality... the way of throwing the body is also hard to handle..." Liu Jinghui touched his chin and thought. ===== CHAPTER 538 =====
