The Underworld Detective

At exactly 10 o'clock, a few of us arrived in the conference room and I saw a raw face in addition to a few police officers who often worked together. Huang Xiaotao walked in and gave a brief account of the case. Everyone summarized the clues at hand.

First of all, the identity of the deceased has been established! After checking that he had never had an affair with anyone in his life, the neighbor said that he was an uncle with an isolated personality and that he rarely touched people. His hobby was to smoke and drink alcohol.

The scene was in the Old Town, where there was no surveillance footage, but according to the residents, a small man was seen moving around 11 p.m. that night, wearing a sweatshirt and a mask, and not looking.

Then the policeman, who had never seen him, made his point, turns out he was a bomb disposal specialist at the station. He said there were artificial explosion marks at the scene, but the killer was quite professional, using magnesium strips, alarm clocks and yellow phosphorus extracted from fertilizer, as well as gas tanks in the deceased's house to make a homemade dirt bomb, and the blast angle was comparable to that of a professional blaster, which instantly structurally collapsed the whole house!

Then came Sun Bingxin's test results, then Huang Xiaotao asked me what I had to say, and I stood up and said: “I just drew a diagram, take a look! ”

Huang Xiaotao asked someone to open the projector and put my pencil drawing on top of it. When the image was projected onto the white screen, there was a shock.

I painted an armored man walking on a burning red charcoal, and I deduced myself together and finally said, “This is what the deceased looked like when he was killed! ”

Huang Xiaotao said: "In order to kill a man, build an armor, why is that? ”

And I looked at the screen and I said, "Don't you think this way of dying is performative? ”

Huang Xiaotao looked at me stunned: “Performance? ”

I explained: "This method of death is very much like the ancient torturing of cannons, the ancients have little entertainment, they run to watch it every time they execute, just like the people of today watch movies. The killer tortured the deceased with great difficulty and destroyed the body by explosion. This process does not seem to have any proceeds of crime. I think he should record the whole process of torturing the deceased, show it to others, or taste it alone. ”

I made this point, and there was an immediate objection, a policeman said: "But no armor was found at the scene. ”

I said, "The place where the victim was tortured is not there. You think, a man tortured like this would be terrific! It should be in a particularly secret, far away from people smoking, maybe an underground club, where the killer tortures the dead for viewers to appreciate. ”

Huang Xiaotao was skeptical: “Song Yang, you are exaggerating the idea a little. If there is such a place in Nanjiang City, how can we not know? ”

I said, "I'm sorry, I was a little too far ahead of my mind, but the acting nature of the death process, I think, is a solid guess. ”

Others agree with me, and another policeman asks, "What's the explanation for the cameras found at the scene? ”

I said, "Perhaps the messenger behind the scenes is not comfortable with the man who destroyed the body, telling him to record the whole process, or the process of destroying the body is another performance! ”

Without saying anything, everyone shouted, Huang Xiaotao knocked on the table and told everyone to calm down: “If that is the case, then this crime is a serious provocation to our public security organs, it is important to bring the murderer to justice. ”

Huang Xiaotao assigned a task, mainly visiting the surroundings of Nanjiang City, looking for secret rooms, basements, old warehouses and other places to identify the first crime scene. But I was a little worried, and I hid that this would be a serial homicide, and the next victim would soon find out.

In the following days, the case did not make much progress, and although the video converter was found at the scene, it was severely damaged and data could not be recovered at all. The fire brigade found the remaining 20 percent of the remains in the process of clearing the gravel, including the internal organs. The deceased was not very helpful after being rehabilitated. The killer did too well, just giving the family a full body to claim.

One day a week later, a loud noise broke the calm in the middle of the night and the precinct police found fire in the distance, contacting the fire brigade. When he arrived, a car parked in the wilderness was found to have been burned, and after the fire was extinguished, it was discovered that there was a suspicious body of tissue in the car, which contacted the city police brigade.

When Huang Xiaotao contacted me, it was already after 4: 00 a.m., and Wang Dali and I arrived there, in a wasteland between two roads, far away saw a group of cops taking evidence, and there was a burnt sedan in the middle, and I asked, "Where's the body? ”

Huang Xiaotao answered embarrassingly: “I don't know, it's melted into the car, see for yourself! ”

Wang Dali was going to come with me. I stopped him. This time it could be really high-energy. I used to see that the body had melted into the car, and my guts and crumbs were all over the car, and the flesh and blood in the car was draining, and I couldn't stand to see it. A policeman came and looked at it before and threw up next to me.

I have an impulse to explode and destroy the body every time with an explosion, which directly renders me useless.

I asked Huang Xiaotao, "Do you think it was the same killer? ”

She lifted an evidence bag, which contained a burnt camera: "Obviously, yes! ”

Huang Xiaotao said that the car was surrounded by fragments and didn't find any evidence. I said I would test it again. I put up the coroner's umbrella, let Huang Xiaotao put on the ultraviolet light, swept around the car, found two lines of footprints in the grass, one after the other, the footprints came slightly heavy, should be left by the suspect carrying the deceased, when he returned without burden, the footprints became lighter.

Judging by the length and stride of the footprint, this person is 1 meter 8 tall, has a great body, and is muscularly developed. Why do you say that? Because the footprint was slightly heavier on the left when he arrived, it showed that he was carrying the victim on his left shoulder, something like this could not be done without some strength.

Huang Xiaotao immediately sent someone to take photo evidence. I held onto the autopsy umbrella to track the direction of the footprints. Finally, it disappeared on the rubble floor of the roadbed. Many tire prints could be found on the road, but the tracks had been destroyed due to the traffic.

Huang Xiaotao said disappointedly: “The clue is broken again...”

I asked her to take the lights away first, and I looked around carefully: “This explosion was between two people, one of whom was the boss of another person or his boss. This boss was obsessive-compulsive, and he stood beside him when he moved the deceased, and he gave orders, and the two of them may have had an argument here, and he reached out and pushed the boss. ”

Huang Xiaotao asked in surprise: "Where did you see that? ”

I pointed to some weeds on the side of the road, because it's spring, and the weeds are growing, but there's a piece of soft leaves at the top of the weed that's been strangled neatly. This means that there was a man standing here, he was obsessive-compulsive, uncomfortable to see different weeds, and he subconsciously strangled them with his hands.

Since there were no footprints on the road, indicating that they were driving to and from each other, and the total number of cars that exploded was two, it should be two.

Generally, the two men would work together to move the deceased, but only one person left a footprint from the road to the crime scene, while the other person stood here, indicating the superior relationship between the two men.

And there was a footprint in the grass, and the back heel was heavy, indicating that the man standing in the grass was backing up, did he slip? These days are sunny days, the friction coefficient on the grass is quite large, it shouldn't have slipped, so I guess the person who moved the victim was dissatisfied with the boss and pushed him past him.

Dare to attack the boss, indicating that they are not really superiors or subordinates in the sense of the word, but may be the relationship between the predecessor and the descendant.
