At the case discussion meeting at 9 o’clock in the morning, Song Lang told everyone the results of the autopsy and his own inferences, “The direct cause of death was that a sharp weapon pierced the artery and caused the pseudoaneurysm to rupture. There were no other injuries on the deceased except for fatal injuries. From the perspective of the weapon's penetration, the deceased was in a squatting position, and the murderer started from above the front. The roadway where the murder occurred was long and narrow. The deceased with valuables will definitely be alert. From this, I speculate that the murderer should be an acquaintance... Perhaps the situation at the time was like this. The murderer came face to face and talked face to face with the deceased. During the period, the deceased made a squat action, and the murderer suddenly drew his knife. Pierced into his back."
"Captain, why didn't it stabbed from behind?" a policeman asked.
"Last night, I repeated experiments with Lao Peng. The angle of the wound could not be from behind. In addition, no traces of the suspected murderer were found behind the deceased, but there was a set of vague footprints right in front."
Song Lang put a few photos on the whiteboard. It was a series of vague leather shoe footprints. He said: "We have sent the footprints to experts for identification."
Another policeman said: "I think it's also possible that the deceased was bent down, such as a sudden illness or poisoning, and the murderer took advantage of this moment."
Song Lang nodded, "Good suggestion, I will let Old Peng check the deceased for signs of disease or poisoning."
He continued: "The more interesting thing is that the murder weapon was pulled out once after it penetrated the back of the deceased, and then plugged in again. There are two possibilities. One is that the murderer accidentally left the murder weapon when he stabbed it. Traces of oneself, such as cutting one’s hand, pulling it out and cleaning it up and then plugging it back in... But there is a contradiction, because leaving a murder weapon is extremely detrimental to the murderer, even if there is no fingerprints or DNA left, so It’s also easy to trace the source of the controlled knife. Another possibility is that the murderer pulls out the murder weapon after killing the deceased, and then inserts another knife into the wound. In this way, what remains on the body is not the real murder weapon, but What is the purpose of TA doing this?"
"Carry on blame, mislead the investigation!" Someone speculated.
"I have also considered these. There is another possibility that the murderer is inconvenient to carry a knife for some reason. TA is afraid that the blood dripping from the knife will reveal his whereabouts, or if he is stained with blood, he will be suspicious. Or maybe TA is going to meet someone, so TA chose to leave the knife on the scene..." Song Lang added, "These are just speculations. Don't be misled by me. Think about it yourself."
Lin Qiupu listened very carefully, and kept records in his notebook from time to time. The case discussion could indeed learn a lot of things. Song Lang's speculation was also meticulous, which made him admire.
Song Lang said: "Also, the palm of the deceased was wiped with a rough cloth. I suspect that the deceased had caught the murderer's clothes before his death, and the murderer cleaned it up after the murder. There are several doubts in this case, the deceased In the middle of the night, I carried a box to see who, what was in the box, who knows this, what enemies the deceased has, it is understood that the deceased’s spouse died of illness half a month ago, it’s best to check this incident too..."
After assigning the tasks, everyone went to visit and investigate separately. Song Lang lit a cigarette and thought at the whiteboard full of photos. Lin Qiupu stepped forward and said, "Captain, did you forget to talk about the bowl?"
"I haven't forgotten." Song Lang smiled, "Cursing Xiaowan is easy to mislead and distract everyone. I won't tell them. You and Dachang will investigate it clearly."
"Okay!" Lin Qiupu saluted.
Lin Qiupu and Dachang went to the Yuxiang pawnshop mentioned by He Jingjing. When the police arrived early in the morning, the owner seemed a little unwelcome. Lin Qiupu showed a photo and asked, "Have you seen this bowl?"
The shopkeeper looked for a moment and said, "I have heard of it, but I haven't seen it."
"But someone reported that your bank had received this bowl."
"Oh, are you checking this? That's the previous boss. He received this bowl, and then a family of three was stabbed to death. I only bought this store six months ago."
"It's true!" Lin Qiupu was surprised for a while, "has the case been solved?"
The shopkeeper asked, "You are a policeman, you ask me?"
Da Chang poked Lin Qiupu with his arm, and rebuked, "Why don't you ask questions without thinking... Boss, is there anything to say about this bowl?"
"What?" The shopkeeper scratched his head. "I heard that it was the skull of a Russian monk. It's weird. Those of us who open pawn shops in Long'an know that as long as you receive it, you will have bad luck. It’s never been in the same store, so I’ve never seen it before."
Except for the origin of the bowl, the owner's statement was exactly the same as He Jingjing's. After asking some other questions, the two of them left.
When he walked out of this store, Dachang stretched his waist easily, "Okay, let's go back for business!"
"There are many pawnshops in Long'an, let's ask again."
"This is just a legend. It's the same as many times as you ask. There is no need to do this useless work."
"The origin of what the shopkeeper said just now is different from what I heard last night. This is the ins and outs." Lin Qiupu said more seriously.
"Oh, you are too rigid. The captain didn't mention this at the meeting. He didn't think it had anything to do with the case. There is no need for detailed investigation, which is a waste of time."
"The task assigned to me by the captain, I must complete it well!"
Da Chang was helpless and disdainful, and sneered, "Newcomer, you really want to climb up!"
Hearing the irony in the common sayings, Lin Qiupu didn't dare to reply. After all, they were all seniors, so he could only beg him to drive to the next pawnshop.
In the afternoon, they ran to three pawnshops, and their statements were similar. One of the three families had received this bowl before, and had to admit that it was unlucky to pay a life-saving fee of 100,000 yuan and sent it to a broken building designated by the other party.
The boss pointed to a rolling gate across the street and said mysteriously: "That house used to be a pawnshop. It was run by a bunch of gangsters. After receiving this bowl, they didn’t pay. They were suddenly blocked by the police. Speaking of xuanhu, it’s not really absurd. I understand it this way. Have you seen "The Gate of the Mansion"? Bai Jingqi used a poop for money. I guess this bowl is also owned by a certain big man. He is not a bowl, but himself. The prestige, you know what I mean, boy juice!"
"You mean, this bowl is a prop used by a certain leader to solicit bribes?" Lin Qiupu concluded.
The boss smiled mysteriously, "Hey, this is what you said, not me."
Dachang scolded: "Don't talk nonsense!"
He thought to himself that this newcomer was a bit lackluster, and he said everything. Although the police are a small role, they represent the government in the eyes of the people.
Lin Qiupu was still struggling with the bowl, "But I can't get it back when it's lost. How could it appear in different pawnshops?"
"Oh, a small bowl made of broken bones can be worth a few dollars. Wait a minute!" The boss entered the house and took out a bone bowl that was exactly the same. "Look, this is the small bowl I bought for 100,000 yuan. You can take it if you like."
