New policeman: Take a gift money and run into a bank robbery?

Lu Sheng looked at the cruise ship that had been burnt to the point that only its iron shell remained, and walked up it with his usual expression.

The cruise ship is very large and has three floors. The top floor is the sightseeing deck, the second floor is the passenger cabin, and the third floor is the bottom warehouse, which is used to store diesel and food.

Oh, yes, the cruise ships burn diesel.

The ignition point of diesel is 220 degrees Celsius, and it is almost impossible to ignite it with matches.

The bottom warehouse is where the corpse was found.

Lu Sheng looked around. There were only some low guardrails around the cruise ship. If a fire broke out, it could easily turn over into the sea.

Fleeing to the bottom cabin to escape is an act that does not conform to the logic of survival.

"The bottom warehouse is not open to the public, and the fire inside was the fiercest at that time, so the body was not found in the first place."

Lu Zhengping led Lu Sheng and the others into the bilge.

"At that time, it was still filled with water, and the corpses were floating on the water. When we went in, we were shocked. There were 32 corpses floating in the small bottom warehouse. That kind of scene..."

Without Lu Zhengping saying it, Lu Sheng could already imagine the horror at that time.

As soon as he entered the bottom cabin, a strong smell of gasoline rushed straight into his nostrils. With the help of his super sense of smell, Lu Sheng could easily distinguish the gasoline left on the scene.

In fact, if you think about it, you know that diesel lighters can’t light up, and a cruise ship powered by diesel, how could there be gasoline at the scene of the crime?

"Did any property be found at the scene?"

"No, apart from this set of iron sheets, there was no trace of any valuables at the scene, but some jewelry and coins were found hidden in the soles of shoes and underwear on the corpse."

Didn't you get searched?

"The holes..."

Lu Sheng looked at the deck of the lower cabin. There were a lot of unknown holes, which didn't look like traces of fire. After a rough count, there were hundreds of them.

The on-site time was too long, and with the addition of a fire, there was almost no extra smell left, and it was difficult for Lu Sheng's [Super Sense of Smell] to make a difference.

"The starting point of the fire should be the bottom warehouse, right?"

The strong smell of gasoline, coupled with the extraordinarily charred scene, made it hard for people not to make such a judgment.

Lu Zhengping nodded: "This point is basically consistent with our judgment, and there is one point that is not in the file."

He pointed to the ladder they got down from the hold just now: "Generally speaking, this kind of cruise ship uses iron ladders, and it stands to reason that no matter how big the fire is, it can't be burned down, but we didn't see it when we surveyed the scene."

The current ladder is a wooden ladder, which was placed here by the police for the convenience of on-site investigation.

Lu Shengyou noticed that the scorched marks were particularly obvious near the ladder.

Obviously, this is an arson point for gangsters.

"What was the weather like on the day of the incident?"

Lu Sheng wandered around in the bilge, and combined with the description in the file, doubts accumulated in his mind.

"What's the weather like today?"

Lu Zhengping was somewhat puzzled by Lu Sheng's sudden question, but he still tried his best to recall: "I remember...it should be heavy fog and a little rain."

Lu Sheng nodded, and suddenly the Eye of Justice twitched.

A piece of blackened plastic in a charred corner quickly attracted his attention.

Picking it up, Lu Sheng couldn't make out a handwriting that was burnt to a certain extent.

After making up his mind, Lu Sheng soon came to a conclusion.

"This is a vicious case of armed robbery!"

It's no wonder that the former team leader's rhetoric about the accident could not convince the leaders above. Isn't this an insult to other people's IQ?

With a basic judgment on the case already in mind, what Lu Sheng and the members of the special case team have to do now is to crack the case and find the murderer.

On-site investigation is an important part of it.

However, the police officers at the scene obviously had different opinions.

"According to the autopsy results of the forensic doctor, these people showed obvious signs of struggle before death, and the hemoglobin concentration in the blood of many corpses was as high as 40.00% to [-]. It was obvious that they were burned alive by the fire, rather than murdered and burned. !"

"Moreover, the Xunyang City Fire Department also agrees with this statement."

Listening to everyone's opinions, Lu Sheng couldn't help frowning.

Apparently, the former team leader decided that this was an accident after the case became stagnant and his thinking had reached a dead end.

"That's right, the victim was indeed suffocated to death by carbon monoxide in the fire."

Several people who raised doubts breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that the new team leader also agreed with their previous conclusions.

"but..."

Lu Sheng changed the topic, "There are many doubts in it, we need to answer them one by one."

"First, why did the portable iron ladder weighing tens of kilograms in the bottom compartment disappear? If it was an accident, the iron ladder should have remained where it was. Trapped in the bottom warehouse."

"Secondly, there is a smell of gasoline on board. The fuel and diesel fuel used by cruise ships is not enough to ignite an open flame. So where did the gasoline come from?"

"Third, what are these unknown holes in the bottom compartment of the ship? There are hundreds of them, obviously not traces of fire. Fourth, there is no combustible material in the bottom compartment, so why did it become the starting point of the fire?"

Everyone was dumbfounded, and those people didn't know how to answer.

These are indeed suspicious points that cannot be ignored, but they have deliberately ignored them in order to quickly close the case.

Lu Sheng shook his head, "These questions are easy to answer, and I have even been able to restore the scene of the crime at that time."

"Why is the body half carbonized and half intact? I remember the statement of case in the file saying that the body is floating on the water?"

Lu Zhengping nodded.

The members of the task force also cast curious eyes on Lu Sheng.

"Why is there water in the bottom compartment? I guess it's not because the ship was destroyed by the fire and the water entered, but the gangsters deliberately opened the fire hydrant and tried to release water to drown the passengers, but finally found that the depth of the water was not enough, so the gangsters had to Use other methods."

As he said that, Lu Sheng pointed to the place next to the iron ladder, "This place was the most scorched, and it should be one of the fire points. At that time, there was already a lot of water in the bottom warehouse, so the gangsters could only start from here. Because of the stagnant water, the corpse looks half carbonized and half intact!"

Chapter 84 Of course there is!

Everyone was stunned.

If the ship's hull was leaking due to a fire, and the river flooded in to soak the corpse, the corpse should appear charred, not half black and half normal.

"That's not right. There are no marks of beatings on these people's bodies, and there are no traces of struggle at the scene! You know, most of the people on board are young and middle-aged men! Moreover, if it was robbery by armed forces, why would they be robbed? The property was not searched?"

Lu Sheng's words still failed to completely dispel doubts.

"Everyone has read the autopsy report, and one of the female corpses had a slight fracture..." Lu Zhengping reminded.

"Maybe...maybe...she fell down in a panic!"

Lu Sheng nodded slightly: "I agree with this statement!"

"...?!"

Lu Zhengping was a little stunned, and the other police officers also opened their mouths.

Is this going back and forth between accident and armed robbery?

"However, I still stick to my previous judgment, which can provide us with clues about the murderer."

Why did the other corpses show no signs of violence, but this female corpse had a slight fracture?Is there anything special about her?The gangster is particularly resentful towards her?

neither!

The only explanation is that it was purely an accident. It may be that he was too panicked when he was driven away by the gangsters, which caused his body control ability to deteriorate, and he fell from a high place, resulting in fractures.

"The gangsters did not have violent conflicts with the people on board. You must know that there is no shortage of utensils that can be used as weapons such as kitchen knives and life-saving axes on the ship, and the gangsters did not enforce a body search. Why? The purpose of the gangsters is to steal money."

Yes, why?

Shouldn't the gangsters who rob money pluck their hair and leave their skin behind?

"There is only one answer, and that is that the number of gangsters is too small. It should be two to three people. I dare not provoke these passengers too much. After all, among the 32 people, young and middle-aged men alone account for two-thirds. Even gangsters get no benefit from conflict."

"Then the question arises again. Since they have such a large advantage in numbers and have weapons, why didn't these people make any resistance?"

A group of police officers subconsciously revealed the color of pondering.

"I guess that these gangsters should have thermal weapons in their hands, so as to arouse the fear of the crew on board."

"Now, I can roughly restore the scene at that time."

Lu Sheng followed the entrance of the bottom warehouse, pointed to the upper floor and said: "About two or three armed gangs touched this cruise ship, and drove all the people on board to the bottom warehouse with guns!"

"Because of the gap in the number of people, the gangsters coaxed these people to only seek money without killing their lives, so the personnel on the ship obediently followed the gangsters' instructions and followed the iron ladder to the bottom cabin. During the process of driving away, a female tourist panicked and accidentally fall and break a bone."

"At that time, after the gangsters drove everyone to the bottom warehouse, they directly pulled the iron ladder away, and then tried to open the fire hydrant to drown the passengers, but the result was not satisfactory. In the end, they had to pour gasoline into the bottom warehouse from the second floor, and then Relight..."

Then, Lu Sheng took out photos from the file and stitched them together, and called everyone over: "Everyone, take a look at the distribution of these corpses, and see what's different?"

Lu Zhengping and a group of police officers moved their heads closer, and Zheng Qian suddenly exclaimed: "If you look from the direction of the iron ladder, it seems that the corpses of men are in the front and the corpses of women are in the back!"

"That's right!"

Lu Sheng gave Zheng Qian an approving look, "In a disaster, human emotions make us subconsciously protect vulnerable groups. Judging from the distribution of corpses, it is obvious that the men took the initiative to protect the female passengers, keeping them away from the fire or being with them. Clash of Outlaws..."

"That is to say, the passengers on the ship tried to resist after realizing the gangster's intention to kill and silence, but the iron ladder has been taken away, and coupled with the guns in the gangster's hands, their resistance is doomed to be futile. "

After thinking for a while, a group of police officers suddenly raised their heads, their eyes showing a touch of astonishment.

They found that after Lu Shengyi's explanation, they seemed to be able to correspond to all the traces of the scene, as if he had personally experienced it at the scene!

"So now do we have any clues about the murderer?"

Lu Zhengping asked impatiently.

No matter how self-consistent the logic is, if there is no way to solve the case, it will be futile if the murderer cannot be caught.

Swish!

Hearing this, all the police officers present looked at Lu Sheng directly.

Lu Sheng was able to restore the scene so vividly through simple paper materials and a short on-site survey. At this moment, all the members of the task force present were convinced by Lu Sheng.

This is the first day!

No, to be precise, it has been less than half a day, and Lu Sheng has already solved half of the problem they have been unable to overcome for a long time!

"There are still clues."

Lu Sheng paced slowly, left the bottom cabin along the stairs, and walked towards the deck.

Everyone didn't know why, and followed with some doubts.

At this time, the sky was already a little dark.

Moreover, a layer of mist rose from the surface of the river, and visibility dropped significantly.

"Generally speaking, in the case of armed robbery, the gangsters will cover their faces in order not to reveal their identities, and they rarely kill people, especially when the number of their own people is not dominant."

Lu Sheng couldn't help thinking of the first bank robbery he encountered. The two robbers, Xiao Xingwen and Xiao Xingwu, didn't wear hoods at that time, but that was because they were already fugitives at that time, and they didn't worry about their identities being discovered.

"So the gangsters are likely to know the crew, or their accents can be easily recognized."

Except for the tourists from country M, the other crew members on board are from China!

"The waters here are vast, and the weather at that time resulted in extremely low visibility. If you want to find the direction of the cruise ship on the vast river, two conditions must be met."

Lu Sheng stretched out a finger, "First, I have a very good understanding of this area of ​​waters. Second, no matter if it is rented or owned by myself, I must have a speedboat like a motorboat that can gallop on the river, or else I will not be able to use it at all." Unable to catch the cruise ship."

"After such an analysis, I believe that everyone has been able to establish a relatively clear portrait of the gangsters in their hearts, right? The number of gangsters is 2-3, and they hold firearms. They are likely to be locals in the surrounding area, and they are very familiar with the surrounding waters. ..."

As soon as the words fell, the audience was silent.

Everyone looked at Lu Sheng with weird eyes, which made him feel a little hairy.

Shock!

It was able to not only restore the scene of the crime in such a short period of time, but also accurately depict the portrait of the murderer!

However, they also understand.

If this case is regarded as the examination paper of the final examination, Lu Sheng has already circled the scope of the examination, but it is not so easy to get a full score in the examination.

With just these clues, the scope of investigation is still somewhat wide.

"Team Leader Lu, do you have any other clues?"
