Although Yuan Hao had previously used a disgusting method to verify that the bite marks on the deceased's body were made by humans, now hearing Officer Yang confirm it again, I still feel a little scared. What kind of person could do such a thing
I have seen a movie before called "The Silence of the Lambs", which tells the story of a highly intelligent professor who likes to eat human flesh. But at least he eats human flesh in a human way, using tableware, instead of just gnawing on it directly like only wild animals can do.
At this time, Li Hua said, "I have encountered this kind of case before. The murderer ate the corpse in order to make it look like the corpse was eaten by wild dogs in the wilderness. However, the murderer did not eat the flesh he bit off the body of the deceased, but put it aside. Even such a vicious murderer could not swallow the flesh of the deceased. This case must be very special."
I looked at Li Hua with contempt, thinking, will you die if you don't speak up? Is this case particularly worth your comment
I ignored Li Hua and turned to look at Yuan Hao, who had a weird smile on his face from beginning to end. Then I coughed lightly and said to Officer Yang, "Officer Yang, have you found out the identity of the deceased?"
Officer Yang nodded and said, "We found out. The deceased was named Ma Ming, 39 years old, and a well-known wealthy businessman in Zhongwei City. He was probably planning to spend the night at his mistress's house last night, and was killed on the way."
He was indeed a rich man, but Officer Yang's subsequent words aroused my suspicion. I continued to ask, "Officer Yang, you just said that the deceased was killed on the way to his lover's house? Did you investigate his lover?"
Officer Yang said helplessly, "If I don't investigate this kind of thing, then what am I doing here? I have already called his lover here, but she seems to be scared. According to her confession, she waited for Ma Ming all night last night but didn't see him coming. She only found out that Ma Ming was dead when she received our summons in the morning. Judging from her reaction at the scene, she should not have known about it."
The reason why I felt that the lover of the deceased Ma Ming should know something was because the way Ma Ming died was so bizarre and cruel. If I had to think about it, I really couldn't understand why the murderer would do such an extreme thing except revenge killing. So I said to Officer Yang: "In this case, then we should start by investigating the social relationships of the deceased. Anyone who has had conflicts with the deceased recently should be listed as a suspect and investigated intensively. After all, the possibility of revenge killing is very high."
Officer Yang nodded, while Li Hua said disdainfully: "One more thing, they said last night that a bloody baby pacifier was found next to the body of the deceased, right? Have you investigated that thing?"
Officer Yang said, "Of course, Yuan Hao has already done an analysis last night. The saliva on the pacifier is completely consistent with the saliva on the victim's wound, proving that the thing was indeed left by the murderer. But I am very curious, why would the murderer leave such a thing?"
Li Hua sneered, "Think about what happened last night, and you won't find it strange. The murderer heard a baby's laughter before killing someone, and a baby's pacifier was found at the scene. It's obvious that the murderer wanted to create a supernatural event and make us all think that a baby who likes to eat people appeared in this city."
Officer Yang suddenly understood what was going on, but I disagreed and said, "This possibility does exist, but I think there is another possibility."
Li Hua snorted coldly and said, "Then why don't you tell me what it is?"
"Based on the cases I have been involved in recently, although some cases seem a bit inexplicable and unbelievable on the surface, when I really got to know the truth, I understood the murderer's intention at the time. I always believe that anyone has his purpose or intention in doing anything, and no one will do meaningless things. The reason why we find it inexplicable and incomprehensible is just because we don't understand the murderer's thoughts. Since the murderer linked this case with the baby, perhaps this is the reason why the murderer killed people! Officer Yang, in addition to investigating the murderer's social background and enemies, you also need to investigate whether the murderer is related to the baby. I think this must be a breakthrough!"
Hearing what I said, Officer Yang immediately laughed in relief, glanced at Li Hua who was gritting his teeth beside him provocatively and said, "Okay! I'll tell someone to do it right away. Ji Wen, you really deserve to be someone that Chief Bai has high hopes for, hahahaha!"
I know that Officer Yang is trying to provoke Li Hua, but I don't feel happy at all. By doing this, he can only bring hatred to me and make Li Hua target me even more in the future.
I shook my head helplessly and said, "By the way, Officer Yang, I want to ask you something. When I saw the body of the deceased before, he was wearing very thin clothes. You know, it's winter now. Did you find his coat or something like that at the scene?"
Officer Yang didn't understand what I meant by asking this, while Li Hua on the side sneered and explained: "If the deceased's coat was not found at the crime scene, there can only be two possibilities. First, the murderer killed and robbed the deceased and took away the deceased's coat and money. However, this possibility is relatively low, after all, the gold watch on the deceased's wrist is still there. Second, the deceased was not killed on the way to his lover's house, but was killed when he came out of his lover's house to buy something. In this case, the fact that the deceased was not wearing a coat can be explained. Ji Wen is confirming whether the deceased's lover is lying. Do you understand now?"
Sometimes I really find that it is very comfortable to handle cases with Li Hua. I don’t need to explain many things, he can understand them by himself. If his personality could be better, perhaps we could become very good partners.
After listening to Li Hua's explanation, Officer Yang finally understood my intention and said, "Unfortunately, the deceased's coat was indeed found at the scene, thrown aside, and the money inside was not missing a penny, but why did the murderer take off the deceased's coat before killing him?"
I almost fainted when I heard Officer Yang's question, and Li Hua was also amused by Officer Yang and said, "Nonsense, can you bite off someone's flesh through a thick coat?"
Officer Yang blushed and said, "In short, I will investigate this matter according to the path you provided, but you should not be idle, go out and ask more. After all, this case has caused panic among the people, and solving the case as soon as possible will give the public an explanation."
I have heard this many times, and Officer Yang said the same thing every time, so I didn't take it to heart. I decided to go to the deceased's home first to see if I could find any clues worthy of my attention.
I was just about to ask Officer Yang to take me to the deceased's home when Li Hua suddenly winked at me. Although I didn't know what he wanted to do, I still sat back in my chair.
"Officer Yang, I want to see the autopsy report of the deceased. After all, your forensic doctor is unreliable. I think it is necessary for me to see it myself."
Hearing what Li Hua said, Officer Yang nodded in agreement, and then said to Yuan Hao, who had remained silent, "Did you hear that? Even others think you are unreliable. Can you stand up for me? Go get the autopsy report!"
Yuan Hao playfully stuck out his tongue at Officer Yang, then turned and left the office. Seeing Yuan Hao leaving, Li Hua went straight to the point and asked, "Officer Yang, are you sure that Yuan Hao was with you the whole time last night and didn't leave?"
Officer Yang said helplessly: "I have said this to Ji Wen before, I am very sure, what on earth do you want to do? Targeting other people's children like this?"
Li Hua did not answer Officer Yang's question, but turned to me and asked, "Are you sure that the person you saw last night was Qiongqi himself?"
I thought carefully about the Qiongqi I saw in the dark night last night. Although I didn't hear him speak, judging from his height and walking posture, it must be him.
Li Hua frowned and said, "Although you all say so, I still feel that we cannot draw a clear line between Yuan Hao and Qiongqi at the moment. Maybe this is a trick he is using!"
I also think what Li Hua said is very right. If Yuan Hao is really Qiongqi, then the clothes and guns lost by the police station can be explained.
Only then did Officer Yang understand what we meant. He said in shock, "Are you saying that Yuan Hao is the Qiongqi?"
"We are not sure. After all, Qiongqi is a cunning and scheming person, but he is indeed suspicious. Officer Yang, are there any fingerprints on the gun we found by the lake last night?"
Li Hua asked Officer Yang, who immediately nodded and said, "Yes! There are some fingerprints on the gun that don't belong to my men. I understand. I will quietly have someone compare the fingerprints with Yuan Hao. Once the comparison is successful, he will be arrested immediately!"
I suddenly felt that Officer Yang must have Alzheimer's disease, and said helplessly: "How is it possible? Hasn't he always been by your side? Even if he is Qiongqi, the person who appeared by the lake is definitely not him, how can the comparison be successful? Officer Yang, you should go back and eat more pig brains to replenish your body."
Officer Yang scolded me with an awkward smile, then said, "Even if it's not the case, that fingerprint can at least be the key evidence to identify Qiongqi in the future."
"No, Qiongqi was wearing black gloves at the time. This fingerprint can only be that of the Titan. You should immediately have someone copy and enlarge the fingerprint and compare it with the fingerprint of a person with a similar body shape to the Titan found in Zhongwei City. This will make it easier to catch him."
As soon as I finished speaking, Li Hua beside me suddenly asked, "Officer Yang, which unit recommended Yuan Hao to be a forensic pathologist?"
Officer Yang looked at Li Hua in confusion and said, "Isn't he recommended by your special case team?"
