The Book of Death by Heart Poison

Why is the portrait of the mysterious man highly similar to the arrested "Galaxy" Gu Yanfeng? No matter how you analyze it at this time, it may not be close to the truth.

Hua Chong and Liu Zhiqin ventilated Shen Xun and Cheng Jiucheng respectively, but they were also very astonished and couldn't touch the rein for a moment.

The next day, according to the area drawn by Haizi, the search team finally found a body wrapped in plastic sheeting near the coast in the northern forest area.The corpse was severely decomposed, the soft tissue was liquefied, and only bones remained in some parts. The time of death was 2 to 3 months.

This is similar to the disappearance time of Zhang Xun'er and Chen Shu.

There was no well-equipped autopsy room on the island, so Pei Qing hired Haizi as an assistant and temporarily set up one at the police station.The severely decomposed corpse is very troublesome to carry, and a little carelessness may destroy the few clues.The local police were in charge of transporting it, and Haizi followed the whole process without making any mistakes.

The disappearance of skin, muscle, and fat has erased a large number of traces on the deceased. Dissecting such a corpse is not easy.After Pei Qing changed her clothes, she didn't say a word, her expression was rather dignified.

After Haizi finished looking at Pei Qing's side, she returned to the northern forest area.Hua Chong has also arrived.

The corpse pit is on the edge of the forest, directly facing the sea, but it is understandable that the police in Minqian County could not find it here before, and normal tourists would not come here, it is almost no man's land.

After more than two months, there have been several rains on Fanglong Island, and the possibility of finding clues such as footprints on the ground is very low.As soon as Hai Zi arrived, he saw Hua Chong squatting beside the corpse pit.

"Flower team, what are you thinking?"

Hua Chong said, "When will the identity of the corpse be confirmed?"

"The family members of Zhang Xun'er and Chen Shu have been notified, but it's so rotten, it's definitely not enough to simply identify the corpse, and the fingerprints are gone, we have to wait for DNA comparison." Haizi also squatted down, "I think it's a bit strange."

Hua Chong nodded: "There is only one person, and there are no other corpse pits nearby."

The search team is still looking around, but it is basically confirmed that there are no other corpses nearby.

"That's right, there are two people missing. According to the previous clues, the most likely situation is that the two of them were killed by a boy they met on the road. There may be traces of sexual assault on the body." Haizi frowned, "But there's only one corpse here, so what about the other girl? Flower team, actually when I first saw this corpse pit, I thought, if the deceased is neither Zhang Xun'er nor Chen Shu, then it's the third one." The victim? Although the cause of death is unknown, but buried in such a place, it is impossible to die naturally."

This is also what Hua Chong is thinking about.

Zhang Xun'er and Chen Shu disappeared at the same time, and the three boys who were with them were suspected. After they were killed, there was a high probability that they would be dumped in the same place, at least in the same place.But obviously, there is only one body here. If it is indeed Zhang Xun'er or Chen Shu's body, where is the other body?

Fanglong Island is full of fog, but the most confusing thing is not the half-god who has been widely spread in Fenglan City, but the mysterious person like "Galaxy".He once appeared here to guide Wu Bi to produce and sell hallucinogenic incense, so if this corpse does not belong to either Zhang Xun'er or Chen Shu, is it related to the mysterious person?

"That's right." Hua Chong said, "Where did the cloth wrapping the corpse go?"

"It's where the money is lost." Haizi said, "I was afraid that the corpse would be scattered, so I took it with me."

Hua Chong said: "After reading this, go back and check that piece of cloth again, and try to find the source."

"understand!"

Hua Chong stood up and walked about ten steps, there was a stone there.He stood up and looked at the corpse pit from a slightly higher position.

The corpse pit was dug deep and wide.

He has seen all kinds of corpse pits.The corpse pit can actually reflect the mood of the murderer at that time.When hiding a corpse, few people are calm.Most people who choose to hide the corpse have a feeling of fear of crime, half of which are unplanned and passionate crimes, and of course some are prepared murders.But no matter what kind, their psychological state has not reached complete peace.

Those who can be completely calm are anti-social perverted killers. They don't regard killing as a crime at all. In many cases, they don't hide the corpse, but expose the corpse in a certain place, "be generous" show it to people.

Just like the two half-dead corpse cases in Fenglan City.

Back to the corpse.It is precisely because of the fear of crime that the murderer usually panics and is nervous when handling the corpse, which is reflected in the corpse pit, that is, the corpse pit is dug very irregularly, and is often very narrow—narrow enough to throw the corpse into it.Some corpse pits will be very deep, because the murderer is afraid that the body will be found.Some corpse pits are relatively shallow, because the murderer was too flustered and afraid of being discovered, and did not have so much time to dig the corpse pit deep enough.

Such a deep enough and wide enough corpse pit is actually relatively rare.Judging from past experience, there are two situations where such a corpse pit may appear.One is that there are a lot of people digging the pit, and everyone has the courage to work together to dig the corpse pit deep enough and wide enough in a short period of time. Second, there is only one person digging the pit, but he has plenty of time and a strong psychological quality—of course not. To the point of a sociopathic murderer.

In actual cases, the latter situation is more common.Because it involves a murder case, the probability of multiple people committing the crime is not high.

But under the current circumstances, if the corpse belonged to Zhang Xun'er or Chen Shu, and the corpse pit was dug by Sheng Lin and others, then it would make sense.

"Flower team!" Haizi suddenly shouted.

"Here we come." Hua Chong was about to get off the stone when he suddenly noticed a very unnatural scratch on the stone, about 8 centimeters long, which looked artificial.

There were originally footprints beside the corpse pit, but after a few rains, the footprints were washed away.Also washed away are traces of shovels poking the ground, heavy objects on the ground, and even fights.This is because the carrier of soil is too soft, and there is nothing to do when it encounters rain.

But the stone is different. If something scratches the stone, the marks will remain for a long time, and it will be useless no matter how the rain washes it away.

Hua Chong put on his gloves and touched the scratch.It's not deep, it doesn't look like it was drawn out deliberately, maybe something accidentally scratched it.

what exactly is it?

"Flower team!" Haizi shouted again.

Hua Chong didn't look back, "You come here first."

"What are you doing!" Haizi said, "I found something here!"

Hua Chong said: "I also discovered this."

Upon hearing this, Hai Zi hurried out of the corpse pit and ran towards Hua Chong.

"Look at what this is." Hua Chong pointed to the scratch, "It must be man-made, but no one has ever been to this place except the murderer and the victim, maybe they left the scratch."

The stone was not high, only reaching the knees of the two of them. Haizi first bent down, then simply squatted down, and said to himself: "Who would poke here? A stone of this height can either be sat on or stepped on." ..."

"Shoes?" Hua Chong asked suddenly, "Maybe the scratches are left by something hard on the shoes?"

"Ah!" Haizi punched his fist, his eyes lit up, "High heels!"

Hua Chong frowned, and looked at Scratch again.

That thin and shallow mark was indeed like a high-heeled shoe accidentally left, and this stone was indeed suitable for stepping on, as he stepped on it himself just now.

He wore short boots, which had a metal buckle, but it was inconvenient to leave such marks.High-heeled shoes are very convenient. When you step on or go down from the stone, you may accidentally leave scratches.

But the question is, why high heels?

When he found the scratch, his first thought was what the murderer had done with this stone. If the scratch was caused by high heels, could the murderer be a woman?

What's also strange is that even women don't come here wearing high heels, do they?In the southern living area, very few residents wear high heels. For tourists, it is normal to wear high heels when taking pictures, but when traveling on the island, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she will also prepare a pair of sneakers.

"The traces in the pit seem to match this one." Haizi said, "I think it's high heels!"

Hua Chong turned to look at him, "Traces in the pit?"

"Yes, didn't I call you just now? You called me over in the end."

Hua Chong and Haizi returned to the corpse pit, Haizi jumped in again, "That's it."

The rain washed away the footprints outside, but unexpectedly half of the footprints remained inside the corpse pit. The soles of the shoes had been pressed by the mud so that they could not be seen clearly, but the heels were embedded in the bottom, leaving a cylindrical depression.

"This depression is wider than the scratch on the stone." Haizi said: "But this is the natural expression of the two force modes. I will first expand this side, and then do the force modeling on the stone. But It's weird that someone would wear high heels to a place like this."

The on-site investigation is still going on, and Hua Chong returns to the southern police station first.Along the way, there are all kinds of clues in my mind.

When the body was found, it was wearing clothes, shoes and socks. Judging from the clothes, it was a woman, and the shoes were a pair of flat sneakers. Those who wore high heels and left marks on the stone should not be the dead.

It is more likely that the corpse pit was dug by many people. Among the people who dug the pit was a woman wearing high heels?Is this the same woman who went down into the corpse pit?

But leaving aside the weird point of putting down her high heels for the time being, her behavior when she went down to the corpse pit was very strange.

Usually, when criminals hide a corpse, they throw the corpse directly into the corpse pit, and then fill it with earth and bury it with stones.If he followed suit, he might leave traces in the pit—such as the dent in the high heels that Haizi found.The traces outside the pit are easily washed away by rain, but not inside.

So what are you jumping in for?Did you drop something that you had to pick up?

But if there was more than one person who dug the hole at that time, why didn't the person wearing other shoes go down, but the person wearing high heels?Didn't they all spot the dimple left by that high heel?

Or is there only one person digging the pit, and she can only go down?

The clues start to contradict each other.Hua Chong took a deep breath.

There is no condition for DNA comparison on the island, and the test materials have been sent back to Fenglan City.

When Pei Qing finished the second half of the autopsy, Liu Zhiqin came.

"What was the cause of death?"

"The main reason is drowning." Pei Qing didn't look up, and focused on dealing with the corpse. "The decay is too serious. The remaining parts of the trachea and lungs show the signs of drowning, and the lungs are swollen. However, before her death, her face was damaged Hit hard."

Liu Zhiqin stood by the anatomy table, "Face? What about other parts?"

"I can't find it." Pei Qing's voice is always very slow and soft when she is working, which is totally different from when she quarrels with Haizi in peacetime. "The heavy trauma on the face is reflected on the bones. There may be injuries elsewhere, but they only stay on the surface. , no bones were injured."

After a pause, Pei Qing looked at the chest of the corpse, and said, "It's not right either. Four of the deceased's ribs were broken."

Liu Zhiqin said: "What is the reason for the break?"

"I guess it's the wrong emergency treatment." Pei Qing nodded. "After drowning, she needed artificial respiration and heart massage. Someone pressed her chest repeatedly, causing her ribs to break."

Liu Zhiqin said: "If artificial respiration is performed, can the position of the deceased's lips be extracted..."

"No." Pei Qing said: "The deceased was only pressed against her chest, and no one helped her breathe. Her facial trauma predates drowning, and her facial condition must have been very bad at that time. The person who rescued her could not do that step, only dared to press her chest."

Liu Zhiqin said: "Then this is not a cure at all."

"Yes. I think the person who rescued her was the perpetrator. He didn't want her to die, but he couldn't save her. In the end, he could only watch her die and bury her in the woods." Pei Qing said: "The face The heavy damage is the point, it's not the blow, it's the impact."

As she said that, Pei Qing raised her right hand and made a quick falling movement, "There are no other injuries on her body from the fall, only her face and nose are broken, and the remaining scalp has no obvious signs of pulling. It may be that she fell on something hard and on something that sticks out."

Combined with drowning, Liu Zhiqin said: "A rock by the sea?"

"I also thought of the reef." Pei Qing said: "Although the blood stains are difficult to wash off with water, the reefs on the seaside are constantly being beaten by the waves. After a long time, even police dogs can't smell it out."

Liu Zhiqin began to imagine the situation when the incident happened.

If the victim was one of the two missing girls, and Sheng Lin and others were the perpetrators, they might have all been affected by hallucinogenic incense and came to a very remote seaside.

The rocky seaside, mentally disturbed young people had a dispute. Under the physical conflict, the girl fell down, hit her face heavily on the rocks, and fell into the sea after losing consciousness.

At this time, if the people on the shore are normal, there is a high probability that they will rescue them as soon as possible.But none of the people on the shore was normal at that time, and the hallucinogenic fragrance seriously affected them. In their eyes, the girl falling into the sea may be just a virtual image.

Due to the obstruction of the reef, the girl was not swept away immediately, but drowned in a coma.After a while, someone on the shore realized that the girl was gone.

They rushed into the water and rescued the girl. At this time, the girl's face was covered with blood, describing horror.And the scariest thing was that she seemed to have lost her breath.

"Give artificial respiration!" said one of them.

"But, but how do you do this?" The other person didn't even dare to look at the girl's face.

"Press her chest and make her spit out the water!"

"Yes, press her chest!"

But the girl had already drowned, and it was impossible to come back to life with four broken ribs.

In a hurry, the perpetrator decided to bury her in the dense forest in the north.

Liu Zhiqin paced back and forth in front of the dissecting table, his brows furrowed tightly.The starting point of this inference is that the perpetrators are Sheng Lin and others, and the victim is a girl who received hallucinogenic incense.

Where is that other missing girl?

She was an important witness and then also killed?

When Pei Qing finished the autopsy, Hua Chong also came back. It will take a while for the DNA comparison results to come out. Zhang Xun'er's father, Zhang Meng, has already taken the latest boat from Minqian County, and is anxiously and fearfully waiting for the body to be identified.

"I have a general understanding of the autopsy results, and I have something to tell you." Liu Zhiqin said.

Hua Chong nodded, "I also have clues to discuss with you."

Holding the autopsy report that just came out, Liu Zhiqin turned on the lights in the office.Zhang Meng's cry came from the corridor—he hadn't seen the body yet, and he had already started to wail.Just as Liu Zhiqin was about to close the door, he leaned forward and took a look, "The daughter is also missing, but the reaction of the parents is completely different."

Hua Chong took the water from the cup, "What did Chen Shu say?"

When looking at the survey data of Minqian County a while ago, he discovered the difference between Zhang and Chen.Zhang Xun'er's family is happy, and her parents want to find her at all costs, but Chen Shu's family is not.

Chen Shu's father died when she was young, and her mother, Yang Man, remarried when she was in primary school. After marriage, she and her current husband gave birth to a son.In this family, Chen Shu is like an extra person. She started to live and study very early, and her relationship with her family was already estranged when she was in high school, and she never went home after she went to college.

The last time the police in Minqian County contacted Yang Man and told him that Chen Shu was missing, Yang Man's reaction was very flat, and he only said that he hoped that the police could find Chen Shu.

If you say you don’t cooperate, it’s not that Yang Man doesn’t cooperate. She answers whatever the police ask. She tells a lot about Chen Shu, and she doesn’t shy away from her conflicts with Chen Shu. She says that every time the mother and daughter meet they break up unhappy Chen Shu hated her for not giving her maternal love, and she also blamed Chen Shu for being ignorant and not understanding her.

All in all, although they are relatives connected by blood, after so many years of tossing each other, the family relationship has long been worn out.

"Yang Man has been notified." Liu Zhiqin said: "But what she means is that she has said all she can say, and she can't help much if she comes again. She doesn't want to see the corpse. If she needs to collect DNA information, she will provide that is."

Hua Chong sighed, "Every family is different."

The door was closed, blocking the noise outside.

Liu Zhiqin told Hua Chong the thoughts he sorted out during the autopsy one by one, and Hua Chong also talked about the possibilities that he thought of based on the clues at the scene.

Liu Zhiqin was a little surprised after hearing this, stood up and walked around the table, "High heels?"

"Hmm." No one was surprised by the existence of the high heels. Hua Chong drank water and didn't speak immediately.

"Analyzing the information from the autopsy and trace examination together, the high heels probably belonged to another missing girl." Liu Zhiqin stood by the table with one hand on the edge of the table, "Then this is a bit beyond my expectation."

Hua Chong said: "It's beyond my expectation."

"The girl in high heels once stood on a stone and then went down into the corpse pit." Liu Zhiqin said, "No matter how you look at it, she is inseparable from the deceased. Either she is the only perpetrator, or She is the accomplice of those boys."
