The book-crossing case happened! The villains all want me to go to jail

Chapter 70 Investigating clues! The real suspect?

Zhao Hongzhi decided to go to the crime scene to investigate in person. He came to the scene of the first burial, which was a desolate, remote, overgrown suburban area, and the silence was so eerie.

Zhao Hongzhi squatted down and used professional survey tools to carefully poke the soil on the ground. He found that the texture of the soil was unusually uniform, without any signs of stratification or turning, as if it had been laid by a sophisticated machine, which puzzled him deeply. "How did the murderer make the soil so regular? Did he use some rare and high-tech tools?" He wondered in his heart.

He walked cautiously along the edge of the clearing, his eyes as sharp as a hawk, not sparing every inch of land and every blade of grass around him. Suddenly, he found a small patch of grass that was obviously crushed next to a small tree with not very thick branches, but there was no footprint around it. "This is most likely left by the murderer, but why are there no footprints? Could it be that the murderer used this tree and a special rope device to jump from the air, thus avoiding leaving footprints on the ground?" This speculation made his brows frown even tighter.

Then, Zhao Hongzhi rushed to the scene of the corpse dumping. It was a remote alley on the edge of the city, rarely visited by people, with piles of garbage, overflowing sewage, and emitting a disgusting odor. He put on gloves, gently but extremely carefully turned over the body, concentrating on checking every wound on the body.

"The cuts on these wounds are so neat and regular that they are frightening. They cannot be made by ordinary knives." He muttered to himself as he looked. Then, he keenly discovered some extremely fine scratches on the wall next to the body. If you don't look closely, you can hardly notice them. "These scratches are new and abrupt. Could the murderer have left them carelessly when moving the body?"

Zhao Hongzhi spent a long time investigating the scene, not missing even the smallest and most easily overlooked details. After returning to the police station, he immediately called the team members to share his findings.

"I found an unusual mark of crushed grass at the burial scene, the shape and direction of which hinted at a possible path of movement. At the scene where the body was dumped, I saw new scratches on the wall, the height and direction of which may reflect the murderer's movements and posture at the time. But the murderer this time was extremely cunning, leaving very few clues. We must conduct an in-depth investigation around these clues and make sure to find the murderer's flaws!" Zhao Hongzhi's eyes were firm and his words were full of determination.

The team members nodded in a serious manner. Xiao Li said, "Captain Zhao, I think the murderer may have received professional training in anti-detection, otherwise how could he have done it so flawlessly?" Xiao Wang continued, "Yes, Captain Zhao, I checked the background of the victims and found that there was almost no obvious connection between them, which made the case even more confusing."

Zhao Hongzhi pondered for a moment and said, "No matter how powerful the murderer is, there will always be clues left. We can't miss any details. Even the smallest clue may become the key to solving the case."

At this time, Ku Yueliang, a senior forensic doctor, walked quickly into the conference room. He stood in front of the dissection table where the dismembered body was placed, with a serious and focused expression. Holding a magnifying glass, he carefully observed the cut parts of the body and said slowly: "Please look, everyone, these cut surfaces are smooth and neat, the separation of muscles, bones and fascia is accurate, and the strength and angle of each knife are controlled just right. The murderer is obviously familiar with the human anatomy and avoided large blood vessels and major nerve bundles, thereby effectively avoiding heavy bleeding and excessive tissue damage. Judging from the direction and depth of the cut, the murderer has superb knife skills and a deep understanding of anatomical principles. Not only that, I also found trace amounts of chemical residues on the body. The preliminary judgment is that it is a rare anesthetic, which shows that the murderer made sufficient preparations in advance and planned well."

Zhao Hongzhi listened with a frown on his face, secretly marveling at the murderer's cruelty and professionalism. He asked, "Doctor Ku, in your opinion, can this method be used to infer some specific characteristics of the murderer?"

Ku Yueliang pushed his glasses and replied, "From the analysis of these cut marks, the murderer cut decisively and accurately, without any hesitation or deviation, which shows that he was extremely stable and skilled when he performed the dismemberment. This level of skill is likely acquired through long-term practical training. The murderer may have a medical background, such as a surgeon, or has engaged in related anatomical research. But we cannot rule out that he is a butcher or other profession with professional anatomical training. In addition, judging from the rare anesthetics used, the murderer may have a channel to obtain special drugs, which may become a new direction of investigation."

Zhao Hongzhi nodded, his eyes solemn: "This undoubtedly increases the difficulty of solving the case. But the more so, the more we cannot let go of any clues. Let's review the social relationships of the victim again to see if there are any deeper hidden connections."

At this time, a police officer rushed over and said, "Captain Zhao, when we investigated the social relationships of the victims, we found that several victims had appeared in the same bar, but the time interval was long, and they did not seem to have contact with the same group of people in the bar."

Zhao Hongzhi's eyes lit up: "Focus on investigating this bar to see if there are any suspicious people. Also, check the surveillance cameras near the bar, maybe we can find the whereabouts of the murderer."

The entire police station was filled with a tense and serious atmosphere. Everyone knew that in the face of such a highly intelligent and cruel murderer, they had to go all out and not miss any possible clues.

In the subsequent investigation, the police found that the bar owner behaved abnormally during the incident and often went in and out of some mysterious places. After in-depth tracking, it was found that he had close ties with an underground illegal organization. This organization was engaged in illegal human experiments and organ trading, and the victims were probably killed because they accidentally touched their secrets.

The police listed the bar owner as a key suspect and developed a detailed investigation plan. First, the bar owner's whereabouts were fully monitored, including his daily activities, communication records, and contacts with others. The police officer Xiao Li in charge of monitoring stood guard day and night, not missing any subtle movements. At the same time, the bar was thoroughly searched for evidence that might be related to the case, such as murder weapons, the victim's belongings, or records of transactions with illegal organizations. The police officer Xiao Wang who participated in the search did not miss any corner, and even carefully checked the gaps in the floor.
