the next morning.
Outside the anatomy room of the Nancheng Branch.
Cai Lin nibbled on the thousand-layer cake that his father had personally baked and brought to the work unit. Just three steps and two steps to turn around the corridor, he suddenly stumbled back three steps, and said in disbelief, "I'm Wu? I'm Gui'er? You two. What are you doing here, make up your homework?"
Forensic doctor Xiaogui and Wu Yu each had a piece of paper, shoulder to shoulder, and stood facing the wall. They were sticking the paper on the wall and writing something with a pen, and their faces were a little dark when they heard that.
"Did you know that Gao Baokang was sent to the branch?" Xiaogui forensic doctor said coldly.
Cai Lin said, "I know, I know."
"Then do you know what form he came in?"
Cai Lin pondered for a moment, then tentatively asked: "… gaseous state?"
At the same time, the duo who stood at the penalty station let out a sneer, "Humph!" from their nasal passages. They saw that Wu Yu had a quicker hand. He had already written and signed his name, and quickly put the paper in a nest. Immediately afterwards, Xiaogui forensic doctor also wrote, "go, go" to drive away Cai Lin who was trying to peek with his head stretched.
·
Bu Chonghua was not in the dissection room, only Wang Jiuling and Liao Gang were standing on the left and right of the dissection table, Meng Zhao unkempt cotton slippers, sitting on a chair with one foot crossed, his ankle was still very swollen. Director Wang was holding a person's thigh and rushing with a water hose in his arms, and while rushing, he gestured to Liao Gang: "The degree of limb corruption has been very serious, there are twelve oblique wounds on the hip bone and thigh, of which eleven are There is a caudate drag scratch on one side of the wound angle, and a drag scratch at the wound angle on both sides, all of which are arc-shaped wounds at the bottom and smaller than the wound. The internal organs have been lost, and the cut surface looks relatively flat, but there are large strips and flaky scratches on the edges. and severe skin flap trauma, which is in line with the characteristics of blunt instrument cutting, and also in line with our judgment on the cause of limb fragmentation…”
The door opened, Wu Yu and Xiaogui forensic doctor walked into the autopsy room angrily:
"Vice Liao."
"Vice Liao."
Liao Gang raised his eyes to look at them both with a solemn expression: "Finished?"
"It's finished."
"It's finished."
Liao Gang stretched out his left and right hands, Wu Yu and Xiaogui forensic doctor handed in their homework with a stern face, only to see the exact same title - "Review" written on the two pieces of paper:
"I am reviewing that I should not obey the command of the infantry detachment during the handling of the case. I am liberal, go my own way, and add chopped coriander to the steamed eggs without authorization, which caused the suspect's body to show a high state of decay. I promise that the next time the case is not solved, I will not Eat coriander, reviewer: Wu Yu."
"I am reviewing that I should not forget the teachings of seniors in the forensic field in the process of searching for suspects, don't say good things, set up flags, and make jokes about the river god leaving the worthless suspects at the bottom of the river without authorization, so that the suspects are indeed at the bottom of the river. I Guarantee to only speak auspicious words when the case is not solved next time, the reviewer: Xiaogui."
Liao Gang asked with a stern face: "Do you dare to do it next time?"
"Don't dare."
"Don't dare."
"Little young man! I don't believe in evil!" Liao Gang pointed at Wu Yu's forehead with one finger, and then pointed at the forehead of Xiaogui forensic doctor, and said bitterly: "I will say why the surname Gao looks so evil, River God! Eat coriander! Police! Didn't the school seniors teach you these feng shui taboos? Didn't the intern seniors tell you that you can take medicine and talk nonsense? What do you think is the purpose of putting a safety sign under each landline in our branch?"
Forensic doctor Wu Yu and Xiaogui were trained with dissatisfaction on their faces, Director Wang couldn't bear to pull them away: "Okay, don't keep talking about other people's children, how do they understand the rules of the rivers and lakes. New arrival last time The physicist fed four goldfish donated by our detachment to death, resulting in four deaths and eighteen hospitalizations in the extraordinarily large poisoning case. I took the forensic room to work overtime for a week, don't you think I didn't say anything? Education should be slow. Come on, don't be too impatient, you two don't do this next time."
Liao Gang hummed with his hips on his hips: "They are still children at this age, so what is our detachment, the primary school student of the God of Death?"
Director Wang said: "He doesn't count. I have never seen a primary school student with a donkey face hanging all day long."
"Come here," Meng Zhao couldn't stand it any longer, and moved the forensic doctor Wu Yu and Xiaogui behind him one by one, and pouted at the corpse on the stainless steel table: "Come and get acquainted - the Maritime Safety Administration and the port police last night. It was sent by the sub-bureau by car overnight, the last half of the suspect in the 502 murder case, Comrade Gao Baokang, the skeleton killer."
The skeleton killer Gao Baokang finally showed the world two legs - one left leg was connected to a quarter of the abdominal cavity, but the internal organs had completely fallen off, and the male genitals were incomplete; After that, Director Wang just flushed it again with a water pipe, and the muscle tissue was clearly visible in the indoor light.
The corpse was extremely corrupt, with a network of cyan blood vessels appearing on the black surface. The skin on both feet had fallen off like a glove, and it seemed that it had been soaked in water for a long time.
"This piece," Meng Zhao pointed to the right leg, "was salvaged by fishermen from the vicinity of the port two days ago. At the time of reporting to the police station, the forensic examination showed that the femoral artery of the corpse had no obvious contraction and life response. It is judged that it was cut by the propeller of the ship after death. After the summer, it was not uncommon for them to see such corpses. Those who drowned and fell off the ship were easily sucked by the suction of the propeller and chopped up, so At that time, the police station didn’t take it too seriously, so they followed the routine procedure and issued a body identification announcement. Unexpectedly, two days later, the fisherman hit another left leg, and after sending it to the police station, it miraculously met his right leg. —Their director was just about to update the announcement of the corpse identification, when he suddenly received a notice of our investigation on Gao Baokang, so he compared the shoes and trouser waists left on the corpse, and found that the color characteristics were exactly the same. Well, let’s make a DNA comparison, that is, Gao Baokang didn’t run away. already."
Wu Yu had never seen such a unique wound on a corpse: "That's why he was swept into the South Canal by the water of the Sili River because of the torrential rain, and was cut into pieces by the ship's propeller. ?"
"Yes, these oblique tail-like drags, as well as the unique wound flaps, are the characteristics of the ship's propellers quickly cutting the corpse." Director Wang snorted and made no secret of sarcasm: "According to the degree of decay of the corpse surface. Judging, before being chopped up, this kid was just as giant."
Gao Ling, who was killed by Gao Baokang, formed a giant view in the flood discharge cave, and then he himself escaped and drowned in the river. Not only did he form a giant view, but he was literally divided by five horses.
It can be seen that people can't do bad things, and there seems to be some unknown power in the dark, which makes the heaven clear and the retribution is unhappy.
Forensic doctor Xiaogui touched his chin and said, "Isn't it..."
"Chen Yuanliang's family did not have a large amount of outflow funds, and those human bone artifacts could not have been acquired. If he obtained these things in Tibet in his early years, it is impossible for other colleagues, students, and researchers to completely ignorant of them. Find them one by one. Let’s talk at the door!” The scolding outside the dissection room approached from far away, and then the door was pushed open, Bu Chonghua hurried in and said sharply to the mobile phone: “I don’t believe he can keep such a big human head skeleton for decades. He didn't even try to find a buyer? He didn't take a picture and sent it to the cultural relic dealer to inquire about the price? Did he search the Internet for the keywords of the cultural relic auction? There is still half a day left in the arrest period, find the last second!"
No one dared to make a sound in the entire autopsy room, only to see him pressing the phone hard, the anger still on his face: "How about the salvage of the rest of the body?"
When Bu Chonghua got angry, every inch of the handsome facial features seemed to be carved by the blade of a knife on the ice, and the old and sharp eyes in his eyes were hard to face. Liao Gang swallowed his saliva and said, "Some people have been arranged to search at the salvage site, but there is no news at the moment. After all, there is offshore..."
The power of the heavy metal propeller to turn is amazing. The ship can cut off Gao Baokang's limbs, cut off his head, or even break it. Even if the skeleton helmet hadn't been torn apart along with Gao Baokang's skull, it might have drifted into the sea where it was difficult for humans to salvage it with the current.
The dissection room was silent. Liao Gang and the others were all staring at the black and purple corpse with cyan cobwebs floating on the dissection table, and no one made a sound.
They traveled long distances, ripped off their cocoons, and under unimaginable pressure, they intensively investigated the 502 case. They captured Li Hongxi, Diao Jianfa, and members of the cult members of Fengyuan Village headed by Gao Wei, Xiong Jinzhi and his wife. According to Diao Jianfa's confession, Then he pulled out the radish and pulled out the mud to uncover a series of Almighty God organizations.
Now they have even found the body of the last suspect, Gao Baokang, and the murderer committed suicide, drawing a perfect ending to that bloody night on May 2.
But why can't I find a human bone helmet
Why did Nian Xiaoping die
"... No," Bu Chonghua said hoarsely, "it's not over yet."
He rested his hands on the dissection table, buried his head deeply, raised his face for a while and stared at the corpse. For two days and two nights, his eyes were bloodshot but flashed with a cold light: "It must be There are other clues, the line of Gao Baokang is not over yet."
Director Wang looked at him with his arms folded, and couldn't help sighing: "Take your fate, Bu detachment. Gao Baokang is already here, the time of death and the cause of death are all certain, this case is really dead now. Unless it is salvaged. The team can create a miracle and find the suspect's head from the vast ocean before Chen Yuanliang's 48-hour arrest warrant expires tonight..."
"The cause of Gao Baokang's death is uncertain."
"what?"
"How do you know that Gao Baokang was drowned," Bu Chonghua pointed at the corpse: "The fact that the diameter of the femoral artery did not shrink on the cross-section can only prove that he was cut after death, but how to prove that he entered the water during his lifetime?"
Director Wang said, "Aren't you trying to find fault with me? Witnesses watched him kill Nian Xiaoping and jump into the Sili River. Could he still be thrown into the water?"
At this moment, a vague voice suddenly came from behind him: "That..."
When Director Wang turned around, he saw Wu Yu rubbing the tip of his nose with his index knuckles.
This is really very novel, because since Wu Yu was transferred to the branch, he has never spoken at the case discussion meeting of the entire detachment, let alone raised objections to other people's speeches.
Wu Yu covered his mouth with one hand and coughed, then glanced at Bu Chonghua, that meant the leader, what are you doing, please, please. But Bu Chonghua didn't say anything. He stood up and looked straight into his eyes, encouraging in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, say it. It doesn't matter if you say it wrong."
"..." Wu Yu hesitated for a moment before shyly said: "What if someone kills Gao Baokang, then throws his body into the water, then kills Nian Xiaoping, deliberately leaves He Xingxing to report the crime, and finally jumps into the river to frame Gao Baokang's words?"
At that moment, everyone had the same opinion: Fuck, I can't see that this kid has the potential to be a perverted murderer? !
This criminal thinking can no longer be described with twists and turns, and criminals who are not so talented in killing are probably unthinkable. Director Wang was amused and asked, "Oh, where is your basis?"
Facing the questioning from the director of Tangtang's technical team alone, Wu Yu couldn't help but become more embarrassed: "Gao Baokang didn't use weapons when he killed Gao Ling."
Director Wang disagreed: "It's also possible that after killing Gao Ling, he found a double-edged switchblade anywhere, or just because he was nervous about the first murder and didn't remember to take out the knife."
"The way he killed Gao Ling was rude and crude, which was very different from Nian Xiaoping's proficiency..."
"That is just the subjective inference of the investigators, and cannot be adopted by the procuratorate as evidence."
"But Gao Ling was murdered at four or five in the afternoon, and Nian Xiaoping was murdered at 10:30 in the evening. There was a blank period of six hours in the middle, so I couldn't explain what the murderer was doing during this time..."
"Then he may also have a change in his mentality after killing people, go to eat and drink or go to prostitutes to gamble, and then stress to become a doomsday indiscriminate murderer."
This time, not only Wu Yu, but everyone looked at Director Wang with blank expressions on their faces, thinking that this is okay
Director Wang spread his hands: "Don't look at me like that, there are not a lot of cases like this, those who hit someone with a car and then run away frantically, stab people to death with passion during a quarrel, then slammed out the door and stabbed everyone they saw along the way. ... just because they are afraid of causing imitation and committing crimes, they are generally not allowed to be reported by the media."
Wu Yu was silent for a while, and finally hesitantly raised his final objection:
"But if Nian Xiaoping was killed at random, why didn't Gao Baokang kill the witnesses?"
—Indeed, the reason why Bu Chonghua has never considered doomsday murder is this: If Gao Baokang really committed crimes indiscriminately, why did he let the witness He Xingxing go
Wang Jiuling looked at Wu Yu with an embarrassed face, and sighed for a while: "Oh, let me tell you this: our current technology can't tell whether Gao Baokang entered the water before he was alive or after he died."
Wu Yu was startled.
"The main basis for judging this is generally the drowning fluid in the stomach, the drowning spots in the lungs, the mushroom-like foam in the respiratory tract, and the blood concentration comparison between the left and right heart chambers. In addition, if Gao Baokang drowned, the diatoms in the water will enter the alveolar wall capillaries through the respiratory tract. Then enter the blood circulation of the whole body, enter the liver, kidney, brain, and bone marrow; but now all the internal organs of Gao Baokang have been lost, and the diatoms in the bone marrow may have entered from the cut surface. hard evidence.”
Looking at Wu Yu, Wang Jiuling looked regretful but her tone was unquestionable, and said, "—Our current technical means are not enough to identify the cause of Gao Baokang's death from these two legs."
The anatomy room was frighteningly quiet, Meng Zhao lowered his eyes without saying a word, and Liao Gang breathed softly.
Bu Chonghua put his hands in his trouser pockets, his face was gloomy, and he said nothing.
"This kind of corpse in the water that was cut by the propeller, and the upper body and internal organs were all missing, there may not be one in 10,000 cases. It is God's will and fate." Wang Jiuling sighed and put the equipment back. The investigation box, he said quietly: "This is how criminal technology is. Before it has developed to a certain point, many cases cannot be solved, but they can't be solved - like the corpse of the Thames River woman, the black dahlia, and Jack the Ripper. It will become an unsolved case, but at the time it was impossible to solve it with all the manpower; maybe with the development of technology, strontium ion measurement will become more popular and accurate, but it will definitely not be a matter of two years."
"Bu," Wang Jiuling closed the inspection box, lowered her head, looked at Bu Chonghua from bottom to top, and said, "It's not your fault, accept your fate."
·
Wang Jiuling's sigh seemed to indicate some kind of providence.
The minute hand turned round and round, the sky gradually turned from bright to dark, and the news from the port branch was getting worse and worse. The salvage team did not find any other limbs of Gao Baokang on the target water surface, and the economic investigation detachment did not make much progress in the investigation of the overseas transactions of the underground bank.
At nine o'clock in the evening, it was dark, and the corridor outside the detention room was empty.
Wu Yu walked down the stairs with a cigarette in one hand.
Not far from the corridor, the familiar silhouette was sitting on the bench. The sitting posture was still straight like a sword on the back. Only the back of the head was leaning back against the wall, revealing a strong and beautiful chin and Adam's apple.
Wu Yu walked to the other side of the bench and sat down, took out the lighter and lit a cigarette, and took a deep breath.
"You haven't gone home yet?" Bu Chonghua finally asked hoarsely.
"They said you didn't know where you went, I guess it should be here." Wu Yu casually flicked the ash on the window sill and asked, "What are you waiting for here?"
"Bureau leader."
Wu Yu glanced at him.
"If the time comes, they will come to rush me." Bu Chonghua said calmly, "I'm waiting for that last moment."
Wu Yu nodded and said nothing. A few moments later, Bu Chonghua tilted his head to look at him: "What are you waiting for?"
"Wait for you."
"Wait for me?"
The red light of the cigarette end went out, Wu Yu didn't answer immediately, he was silent for a moment before saying, "... Wait until the cigarette you gave me is finished."
They sat on both ends of the benches, with their backs against the windowsill. In the distance, Jinhai City was prosperous and dazzling at night. The huge LED screens flickered in the central business district all night. The colorful lights that complement each other crossed the glass windows and reflected on the empty corridor in front of them. The doors of the busy offices during the day were locked at the moment, and the iron railings outside the prison were glowing with a cold dark light.
Wu Yu exhaled his last puff of cigarettes heavily and put out the cigarette butt. Not far away, the elevator door opened slowly with a ding.
Bu Chonghua looked up - it was Song Ping who appeared in front of him.
"I knew you were not so quick to let Chen Yuanliang go!" Song Ping snorted.
Boss Song took the lead out of the elevator with his hands behind his back, followed by Xu Zuxin, and it was completely unexpected to see the expressions of the two of them. Song Ping looked up and down Bu Chonghua, then bent down to look at Wu Yu who was sitting on the other side of the bench, took a deep breath, and stretched out his hand to grab the gauze on his forehead: "Why aren't you okay?"
Wu Yu suddenly turned his head back without saying a word.
With a "Humph!" in Song Ping's nose, he stood up and announced, "I'm all done!"
Wu Yu: "..."
Wu Yu's buttocks twisted on the chair, twisted again, twisted 90 degrees to avoid Song Ping, got up and called Xu Ju in a muffled voice, Xu Zuxin hurriedly motioned him to sit down without giving up his seat.
"What are you still doing, let him go." Song Ping raised his chin and said, "It's useless for you to detain Chen Yuanliang, there is no evidence at all to prove that he was involved in the case, and there is no evidence that he even knew about the victim Nian Xiaoping. The matter of the underground bank can only show that he has doubts at best, but doubts are different from being convicted. If you have the ability, you can pry open Diao Jianfa's mouth and let him admit that the 1.2 million is related to the murder case, otherwise there is no way, ah. "
Bu Chonghua looked up at the bright lights, then lowered his head and exhaled: "On May 9th, Chen Yuanliang came to the city bureau to find me, and his words were trying to cover up the cause of Nian Xiaoping's death rather than Gao Ling's death. At that time, I vaguely felt that something was wrong, and out of intuition, I watched him walk out of the gate of the Criminal Investigation Detachment, and I saw Diao Jianfa who came with him at that time..."
"Intuition," Song Ping interrupted him: "Can intuition solve the case?"
Bu Chonghua whispered, "I can."
Song Ping did not refute: "Can intuition be used as evidence?"
Bu Chonghua was silent.
"The suspicious points of this case are not only these." Song Ping stood up straight, his hands behind his back, and said solemnly: "Why did Gao Ling run away from home to the flood discharge cave, and why did she bring her roommate Liu Li's laptop with her? Why did Li Hongxi If he wants to sneak into Gao Ling's house and try to silence Liu Li, what does he think Liu Li might know? Diao Jianfa has a wide network of contacts, why did he introduce Li Hongxi, whom he met for the first time, to Gao Wei, Xiong Jinzhi and his wife in the name of a private guest because he was a confidant?"
"… "
"These are all suspicious points, and they may become breakthroughs, but you guys are holding on to Chen Yuanliang." Song Ping seemed to be emotional, shook his head for a while, and then said, "This case can't wait, so close it as soon as possible."
Bu Chonghua categorically opposed: "No, only the case of Gao Ling can be closed. Nian Xiaoping's murder case has not been solved yet, so it cannot be closed!"
"Then you will give me evidence that the two murders cannot be combined!" Song Ping reprimanded: "As long as you prove that Gao Baokang was not the one who killed Nian Xiaoping! As long as you give me a little bit of evidence! I can stand up to every level. The pressure gives you more time to investigate!"
There was silence in the hallway.
"Those who let go can be recaptured, the closed case files can be re-investigated, and even closed-file trials can be re-opened for retrial. As long as the evidence is dug up at the front line, there will be no old men like us in the back to fight for it layer by layer. Song Ping sneered: "Don't act like a spoiled child without evidence, it's useless."
There were voices and footsteps in the corridor. It was the lawyer Chen Yuanliang hired after finishing the formalities, and came to lead Chen Yuanliang with people from other departments in the bureau.
Bu Chonghua didn't say a word, only to see that they greeted each other politely, the barrister respectfully flattered and took out his cigarettes, and Song Ping blocked it back as if he didn't see it. Xu Ju is more tactful and can deal with it better. He plays Tai Chi in an official style, and he put one sentence in three sentences. After a while, the iron door was clanging open, and Chen Yuanliang was led out of the detention room.
Bu Chonghua looked cold and stared at Chen Yuanliang's old eyes. The latter looked back with a half-smile but not a smile. After dealing with the police lawyer's family, he walked straight over, bent down and handed over to Bu Chonghua, and shook hands with him: "It seems that the Bu detachment leader has not been able to find the right person in the end. Evidence for sending me in?"
Bu Chonghua looked directly at him and did not answer.
"Give it up," Chen Yuanliang whispered almost in a whisper, "you can't find it."
He straightened up, turned around and walked towards the lawyer, only to hear Bu Chonghua's steady voice behind him: "Do you know who the last person said that was?"
"… "
"It's Li Hongxi. His official arrest has come down."
Chen Yuanliang laughed and seemed to want to refute, but in the end he didn't say anything, raised his head and walked out of the criminal investigation detachment tremblingly with the support of his family.
·
Bu Chonghua stood there and didn't move. He narrowed his eyes and stared at him as he walked out. The eyebrows and eye sockets showed sharp outlines in the light and shadow.
"?!"
When Bu Chonghua turned his head, he saw Wu Yu who was touching the tiger's tail. The boy was taking out the car keys from his pocket: "Let's go."
"...Where are you going?"
Wu Yu said: "Where else can I go? This quarterly allowance has not been issued yet. I am diligently escorting the leader home."
Bu Chonghua looked at him for a long time, an invisible smile suddenly appeared in his eyes, and then reached out and pinched the back of his neck, Wu Yu raised his neck in a conditioned reflex "?".
"Let's go," Bu Chonghua said with a smile.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the streets were full of lights, and the windows of the residential buildings showed a faint orange light. Looking down from the corridor window, you can see Bu Chonghua and Wu Yu walking out of the Criminal Investigation Detachment Building side by side, facing the night wind of the city, walking into the distance.
"Hey, these two children." Xu Ju again forgot the headache he had given to Wu Yu a few days ago, feeling very satisfied, he smiled and said, "It's a good match for you."
"..." Song Ping was drinking water from the water dispenser, when he heard the words, he almost choked: "What?"
"what? What?"
"What does it mean to be right?"
"It's just the right match," Xu Ju was inexplicable, and pointed to Song Ping and then to himself: "It's like we are also very good match."
Song Ping almost rolled his eyes, "Ha!" He sneered: "Who wants to match you, you fat man who can't get up even after squatting forty kilograms!" He walked away with his hands behind his back.
"Hey, what are you looking down on!" Xu Ju hurried to catch up and said angrily: "You can try five years older! Are you not fat?! Look at your belly! Look at your waist!"
