The three bodies were not buried, but were placed side by side on the ground facing the ground. From the direction, their heads are uniformly facing west, and their feet are facing east. The clothes on their bodies can hardly see the original color, but from the style, it can be recognized that it is the monk clothes of Haijing Temple.
"Is this the three of Chu Jiang?" Fang Yuanhang wore a mask and his voice was buzzing, "Damn, why is it waxed, I am most afraid of this kind of corpse!"
"Judging from the timeline of the clothes and decay, it's probably them, but we still have to wait for Teacher Xing's results." Mingshu looked down at the three corpses, his eyes gradually deepening.
In the leftmost one of the corpses, part of the soft tissue has turned into a muddy gray substance, which is ossifying. The buttocks, abdomen, and limbs of the other two were yellow and waxy, which was the beginning of the waxing process. The middle one died earlier, so the degree of waxing was more serious than the right one.
The temperature in the mountains is very low, and the temperature in the cave is lower and humid, and the possibility of waxing is high when the body is thrown in this environment. But why are the two on the right waxed and the one on the left not
Whether the corpse is waxed is affected by many external factors. Whether it is exposed to the air is one, and whether the surrounding environment is cold and humid is the second. Usually, obese corpses buried in moist soil or directly thrown into water are more prone to waxing. , but not necessarily.
Mingshu looked at the skeletonized corpse again, "Brother Xing, were these corpses thrown here immediately after death, or were they moved here after a period of time?"
"I guess it was thrown immediately after death." It was Xiao Man who answered Mingshu, "Before you came in, I had already surveyed this place, and it has been at least half a year that no one has been here, and the soil is well preserved. Footprints, and only the footprints of this person, it is obvious that this person is the murderer we are looking for."
Xing Mu also said: "Judging from the situation of the corpses, I also think that they were put here soon after they died. As for why under the same environment, one corpse was boned and the other two were waxed, which is different from them. The cause of death is related to the time of death.”
Mingshu squatted down, "This one with ossification is thinner."
Xing Mu nodded, "I can't tell you the exact time when they were killed, but the approximate time can still be judged. The corpse that entered the ossification process died from June to July last year."
"Summer. Chujiang goes down the mountain and 'Yunyou' is summer." Mingshu said: "But the humidity should be higher in summer."
"But there are more mosquitoes in the mountains in summer, and the mosquitoes will accelerate the ossification of the corpse." Xing Mu said: "Mosquitoes have a greater impact on how the corpse develops than the temperature and humidity. Although the cave environment is easy to let the corpse grow Waxing, but they weren't buried in the soil after all, so it's not surprising that they decomposed normally. Also, waxing or not waxing is also related to how fat the body is."
Mingshu remembered the photos of Chu Jiang, Chang Qingying, and Wang Lu that he had seen before. Chu Jiang was very thin, while Chang Qingying and Wang Lu were both fat.
"The two waxed corpses died later." Xing Mu continued: "The second body was from November to December last year, and the third body was in March this year. During this time period, the mountains are the coldest and the mosquitoes are extinct. , plus they are already obese, and various factors interact with each other to cause waxing. You all hate waxing corpses, but for us forensics, waxing is much more 'cute' than ossification."
Mingshu stood up, "Because more clues can be preserved on the waxed corpse."
Xing Mu said: "Yes, look at the chest, abdomen, arms, thighs, and necks of these two corpses, there are traces of rope binding."
Fang Yuanhang hurriedly endured his disgust and came over to take a look.
After figuring out why two corpses in the same environment were waxed and one was boned, Mingshu stopped disturbing Xing Mu and went outside the cave to observe the surrounding situation.
This cave is very hidden, and if you just search the mountain roughly, you may not be able to find it.
The murderer probably knew this, so after bringing the body here, not only did he not bury it, but he also did not dispose of his own footprints.
The bodies are all face down, does this mean repentance? Atonement
One died in July and August last year, one died in November and December last year, and one died in March this year. , the murderer is no longer in action
If the murderer is Mu Haiyuan, who pretends to be a peeping dust, what is he waiting for
The three corpses were brought back to the Criminal Investigation Bureau for autopsy. Before the autopsy, Xing Mu found three pieces of plastic paper in the body pockets. Body No. 1 (suspected to be Chu Jiang), body No. 2 (suspected to be Chang Qingying), body No. 3 (suspected to be Wang Lu).
Chu Jiang's fault lies in molesting the widow, which indirectly led to the widow's suicide; Chang Qingying's fault lies in being jealous of the outstanding juniors, misleading the juniors on important company projects, and indirectly causing the juniors to jump off the building; and Wang Lu's fault is the most obvious. Unfilial.
In addition to the fact that these three points have not been confirmed, they all correspond to Mou Haiyuan's own lack of morality.
Mingshu put the plastic papers in the evidence bag on the table one by one, "My inference is not wrong, Mou Haiyuan is killing his 'co-sinners' to atone for his sins. The monks in Haijing Temple now, Except for Liu Sui and Tang Yuan, all of them are the 'scapegoats' that he gathered in some way. He called them to let them die for himself. His next target is either Yin Xiaofeng or Fang Pingxu, their corresponding It's all violent."
"The footprints in the cave came from these rain boots." Xiao Man carried a large evidence bag, which contained a pair of black rain boots. The rain boots looked very old and had a lot of dust and mud on the surface. "The rain boots are from Haijing. The fingerprints found in the temple's warehouse and extracted from above are consistent with the fingerprints Mou Haiyuan left in his brokerage company in the past."
Soon, the anatomy results and DNA comparison results came out.
Chu Jiang, Chang Qingying, and Wang Lu all left personal information in the public security system before they became ordained. After comparison, the three bodies belonged to the three of them.
Xing Mu stood on the side of Wang Lu's corpse, with his hands on both sides of Wang Lu's head, and made a twisting motion, "The three people died from severe cervical vertebra damage. Judging from the marks on Ying's head, the murderer twisted their necks with bare hands like this."
"Mu Haiyuan has practiced martial arts for decades, but he has such skills, and from the perspective of his 'punisher' and 'redeemer', he has a mentality that is bound to make the deceased suffer." Mingshu said: "But a frontal attack, this The risk is a bit high. Brother Xing, in the cave, you said that there are binding marks on the waxed corpse. Is it bound before death or after death?"
"It's after death." Xing Mu said, "Based on the other scars on their bodies, I judged that the murderer put ropes on them in order to transfer the bodies after killing them."
Mingshu asked again, "Are they showing signs of poisoning?"
Xing Mu shook his head.
Mingshu walked up to Xing Mu, raised his hands, and caught Xing Mu's head just like Xing Mu gestured on Chu Jiang's head just now.
Xing Mu's body was stiff and his heart was beating wildly, "Leader leader, what do you want to do, there is monitoring!"
Mingshu said: "You are awake, I stand in front of you and control your head, will you resist?"
Xing Mu thought to himself, nonsense, everyone will resist, okay
"Cocoa, I can't beat you!" Xing Mu said and grabbed Mingshu's arm - this was an instinctive action.
"If you can beat it, but you will struggle, this is a human's survival instinct, just like you are now. And I haven't tried hard yet, if I do it hard..." Mingshu said, increasing the strength in his hand.
Xing Mu almost jumped up with a kick.
Mingshu quickly let him go and said with a smile, "Assaulted Teacher Xing."
"It's you who attacked the police first!" Xing Mu's face turned pale with grievance, "You have practiced, and with your ability, you can easily screw my head off!"
"Yes, I attacked the police first." Mingshu said, "In this face-to-face position, as long as a person is awake, he will struggle, but there is no sign of resistance or poisoning on them, that is Was your neck twisted in your sleep?"
Xing Mu was still caught in the tension of being attacked. He was stunned for a while, and suddenly said "ah", "No, not in his sleep, he was killed in a kneeling position!"
Mingshu frowned, "How did you come to this conclusion?"
Xing Mu couldn't help but speed up, "Didn't I say, waxed corpses are easier to preserve clues, Wang Lu and Chang Qingying were crushed on their knees. Leader, they were not tied up before they died, that is, they voluntarily knelt in front of the murderer, Let the murderer break their necks?"
Mingshu closed his eyes, and the clues gradually painted in his mind the situation at the time of the crime.
The surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of breathing remained. Xing Mu waited for a while, then whispered, "Leader?"
Mingshu turned his face, "Brother Xing, I will ask you to kneel down and put your head in my hands, are you willing?"
Xing Mu's eyelids jumped, and he roared in his heart - I wish you a ghost, I can't kill you!
"You don't want to." Mingshu said, "No one will. But if someone else, such as a highly respected monk, asks you to kneel and touch your head with both hands to wash away your sins, you are you willing?"
"Ah?" Xing Mu hadn't turned the corner, "I'm not guilty!"
"I'm just making an analogy." Mingshu said, "It's not necessarily a sin, but every person must have some hidden things in their hearts that are not known to outsiders. These things are good and bad, and the bad is accompanied by life. Shadows, do you want to get rid of these shadows?"
Xing Mu nodded ignorantly, but after a while he said, "Then I won't kneel, it's not a terrible shadow."
Mingshu said: "For us ordinary people, if we have never committed a crime or done anything particularly wrong, we really don't need to be converted by a monk, but Chu Jiang and these three people have been severely wronged."
"That's why they were watching Chen Chen, no, under Mu Haiyuan's persuasion, they took the initiative to kneel down, thinking that the master was trying to save them, but their necks were twisted off?" Xing Mu smashed his fist into the palm of his hand, "It's done, the body The clues presented are all explained clearly!"
Mingshu patted Xing Mu on the shoulder and encouraged, "Thanks to Brother Xing's autopsy analysis."
Xing Mu wanted to laugh and held back, his face turned red.
Mingshu still had an analysis that he didn't tell Xing Mu.
Chu Jiang and the others came to Haijing Temple five or six years ago, but Mou Haiyuan didn't do anything to them until last year when he killed the first person.
It's been so long that people can't ignore it.
But from the point of kneeling, Mu Haiyuan wanted them to take the initiative to kneel down and repent, so before that, it would take a long time to "acclimate" them.
Those who were "domesticated" early have been killed, while the remaining few have not yet been "domesticated".
Apart from Liu Sui and Tang Yuan, Chu Xin, Yin Xiaofeng, and Fang Pingxu were all young people. It was indeed not that easy for Mou Haiyuan to "subdue" them like killing Chu Jiang.
But could this be the reason why Mu Haiyuan pretended to retreat
Is it possible that someone among the remaining people discovered Mu Haiyuan's secret and "counter-killed" first
At present, Mu Haiyuan's whereabouts are unknown, and the clues cannot be screwed up.
When the serious crime team searched Qiyue Mountain, a detailed investigation of Mu Haiyuan was also underway.
Before retiring, Mou Haiyuan purchased real estate in many cities across the country. After retiring, most of these properties were sold, and almost all the proceeds were donated to youth welfare.
There was no media coverage of what Mu Haiyuan did. If the police hadn't locked him up this time, they wouldn't have been able to find out about these old events.
Fang Yuanhang said: "This person is really contradictory. Good things are really doing, and bad things are not bad."
"It's not 'this person is really contradictory', it's just that most people are contradictory to different degrees." Mingshu pays more attention to problems than Fang Yuanhang, "Mu Haiyuan is keen to do charity, but the charity he does is only for young people. From him Hiring parents and treating the hired parents well, he should have done something wrong to his biological parents in the past, and regretted and repented for it. Under normal circumstances, in addition to caring for teenagers, he should also care about his parents. Older people of the same age. Huge sums of money all going into teen charities, which is kind of… weird.”
"This is a very important clue." Xiao Yuan added to the discussion, "Behavioural reaction psychology, although we have recently encountered many opponents who deliberately interfered with the police's judgment, Mu Haiyuan's charity is hiding everyone, in other words, he is doing charity. In this matter, he does not need to pretend, so in his behavior, it reflects his true psychology."
Fang Yuanhang scratched his hair, thinking hard.
It is indeed true psychology, but what is the important clue
"Putting all the money into the youth welfare system shows that this is Mou Haiyuan's urgent psychological appeal, which even surpasses his guilt towards his biological parents." Xiao Yu'an said: "This behavior may indicate that Mou Haiyuan's childhood and teenage years have passed. It was extremely hard, and the shadow it left stayed with him."
Mingshu said, "Before Mu Haiyuan became famous, he really had a bad time."
Xiao Yu'an flipped through the printed materials, "Mu Haiyuan focuses on Long Province, followed by Han Province next door to us. Han Province understands well, this is his nominal hometown. But what about Long Province?"
"Long Province is a border province, and Yin Xiaofeng's hometown of Liangxi Town is in Long Province!" Mingshu's eyes narrowed, "Xiao Bureau, do you suspect that Mu Haiyuan's real hometown is Long Province?"
"This possibility is not ruled out." Xiao Yuan said, "A person will not care about a place that has nothing to do with him for no reason. Yin Xiaofeng was brought back to Haijing Temple by Mu Haiyuan. How did Mu Haiyuan and him meet? Where did they meet? Yes? Isn't it in Long Province?"
trial room.
When asked how he met Jing Chen, Yin Xiaofeng was silent for a long time. Just when Fang Yuanhang thought he was going to be silent until the end, he suddenly raised his dead eyes, "Gu Chen said, take me to a place that is quieter than the hospital."
"Hospital" refers to the mental hospital where Yin Xiaofeng stayed for several years after being rescued by the police. His attending doctor had told Xu Chun that Yin Xiaofeng hated the noisy environment, and after leaving, he returned and offered to stay in the mental hospital.
"Where?" Fang Yuanhang asked, "Where did you meet Jingchen?"
Yin Xiaofeng said, "It's in Liangxi Town."
Chu Xin and Fang Pingxu were also questioned one by one.
Chu Xin insisted that he took the initiative to go to Haijing Temple to practice cultivation and had nothing to do with Jingchen, and Fang Pingxu also said that he had never seen Jingchen before coming to Qiyue Mountain.
"The three of Chu Jiang are already dead, but at least Yin Xiaofeng has confirmed our speculation." Fang Yuanhang said, "I also thought it was strange before, Fang Pingxu and Yin Xiaofeng both dealt with violent tendencies, and Mu Haiyuan only needs to kill one of them if he wants to atone for his sins. There's no need to kill two people in a row."
Mingshu listened to Fang Yuanhang's analysis while watching the video sent by Xu Chun.
Mou Haiyuan's charitable funds are mostly used for welfare institutions, primary and secondary schools, and after investigation, there is a welfare institution in Liangxi Town that is almost entirely run by Mu Haiyuan's charitable funds.
In this orphanage, there is even a photo of Mu Haiyuan.
"Similar charitable projects are basically anonymous. Why is Mu Haiyuan's photo hanging in the orphanage?" Mingshu said: "He has been there? Has he been related? Xu Chun, you have been to other welfare institutions in Long Province or Do you have any pictures of Mu Haiyuan in the school?"
Xu Chun said, "No, and the hospital doesn't know who the funders are except here."
Mingshu said: "Ask all the staff in this orphanage, especially the older ones, if anyone has retired, visit their homes. This place is so special, I suspect that Mu Haiyuan walked out of this orphanage back then. !"
"This is our benefactor." A child pointed to the picture on the wall and said, "We are all his children."
Xu Chun noticed that both adults and children in the welfare home made no secret of their admiration for Mu Haiyuan. In their eyes, he was a great man.
But when asked about the origin of this great man and the orphanage, no one could say anything. The current director, Xiu Chunhua, is in his fifties and has worked in the orphanage for more than 20 years. He only knows about Mu Haiyuan and the previous one. Looks like some friendship.
"The photo was only posted in recent years." Xiu Chunhua said, "Mr. Mu didn't allow it before."
Xu Chun said, "Why not let it go?"
Xiu Chunhua said, "Maybe it's because he does good deeds and doesn't want to be known. Mr. Mou is a famous person anyway."
"Then why are you putting up his picture again now?"
"He hasn't been here in years. The kids want to thank him in their own way."
Xu Chun asked again: "Old Dean now..."
Xiu Chunhua sighed, "Already passed away."
The old dean might be the last person who knew about Mu Haiyuan. Once he died, many secrets would be taken to the grave.
Xu Chun refused to give up, and rushed to the old dean's house.
The old dean's wife, surnamed Chen, is in his 70s, and his mind is still sober.
There are several photo frames on the cabinet. This is a happy family, which can be seen from the many family photos. But among these family photos, there is actually a photo of Mu Haiyuan and the two old people.
"Hai Yuan is our friend." The old man took the photo frame in his dry hand and stroked it carefully, "He hasn't forgotten us."
As soon as Xu Chun heard these words, he understood that the old man must know something.
The old man was not defensive at all, and told what happened to him, his wife Li Liulan, Mu Haiyuan, and many children decades ago.
Even now, Liangxi Town is not rich, let alone decades ago.
In winter, the poor Mu family gave birth to a pair of twins named Mu Haiyuan and Mu Haifeng. At that time, there was no such thing as a household registration. The two children grew up together with other children of the same age in the town.
The whole town was poor, and the parents saved food rations for their children, but even so, it was difficult to make ends meet. When the two Mu brothers were five or six years old, their younger brother Mu Haifeng was "sent" to a foreigner.
Relying on the money and food given by outsiders, the three members of the Mu family did not freeze to death in that cold winter.
After the beginning of the spring, Mu Haiyuan told his partner who grew up with him that he wanted to go out and find his younger brother, and in the future, he would also let his parents get rid of such a poor life.
The partners talked a lot, some said they wanted to be soldiers, some said they wanted to be scientists, but only Mu Haiyuan said that he wanted to make money and make a fortune.
"Then you can't forget us." Li Liulan said: "We suffered when we were young, but I hope that children born here in the future will not suffer. I want to build a love house. If any child can't afford food, come to my love. House to eat! Hai Yuan, can you donate some to my love house when you have money?"
Mu Haiyuan nodded solemnly, and said in a tender voice: "I want all children to be able to eat!"
Li Liulan was the later director of the orphanage.
And Mu Haiyuan is the later Mu Haiyuan.
"Hai Yuan changed his name, and Liu Lan and I didn't recognize him when he came back for the first time." The old man said: "At that time, the welfare home had just been built, and money was needed everywhere. Hai Yuan said that he came back to cash in when he was a child. Promise of."
How Mu Haiyuan became Mu Haiyuan, the old man did not explain clearly, but Xu Chun had already drawn a clear outline, and before the old man was too tired to speak, he asked, "When did Mu Haiyuan's parents die?"
"It's long gone." The old man shook his head, "Hai Yuan left at the age of ten, and then there was a famine in the town. The adults gave food to us children. That year, many people died of starvation. Hai Yuan's mother was He died at that time, and his father didn't wait for him to return home."
Dongye No. 1 Intermediate People's Court.
The case of Chu Can being suspected of murder, illegal detention, and mutilation was in court. The judge did not pronounce the verdict in court. Luo Yi, who was sitting in the auditorium, stood up, and his eyes met Chu Can.
Chu Can's eyes were full of ferocity, while Luo Yi's eyes only had undisguised contempt.
After leaving the court, Luo Yi made a phone call. The other party didn't know what to say. Luo Yi gritted his teeth and said, "When will they lock Chu Xin?"
