Criminal Investigation: Forbidden Rose

The place where the old scavenger found the suitcase is called Dashitan. It is an independent island closest to the sea in Yanquan City, and it is connected to the city by the longest sea-crossing bridge.

After all, Yanquan is only a relatively backward prefecture-level city, and the configuration of public security in all aspects is not as good as that of Yan'an, especially the gap in forensic medicine is huge.Interpol from the Dashitan Police Station arrived at the scene first.There is no serious forensic doctor in the small police station at all, and the criminal police can only estimate based on experience - it is winter now, the temperature is low, and the rate of corruption should slow down, but the body is in a water environment, and the rate of corruption will speed up - the current corpse is dead Completely disappeared, the corrupt vein network was obvious, the body was inflated and swollen after the start, the giant concept just emerged, and the death time was estimated to be 5 days ago.

Salt Spring City has been peaceful for a long time, and murder cases are rarely encountered.

To mention the key words "5 days ago", "little girl around ten years old", and "dead", everyone can only think of the little girl who disappeared in the seaside park five days ago.

The policeman who was in contact with the three people from the Yan'an City Bureau was named Xiao Huang, holding his mobile phone and cursing: "What does this corpse look like? Do you ask me if I look like that child? This ghost can see it." Can it come out??? I don’t think you guys should guess this or that, it’s a serious matter to quickly bring people into the bureau!”

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Huang was still angry, saying that the police station was pulling them hard to ask if it was the same person, trying to determine the source of the corpse, but it was difficult for people to answer.

Xia and Shao have been suffering from the inconvenience of inquiring into other people's cases, and they finally caught on to the topic, and hurriedly turned their heads: "Look?"

Xiao Huang handed over the mobile phone: "This scene, take a look."

According to the face of the corpse, it is indeed impossible to confirm.Although the little girl's hairstyle was similar to Xu Yunfei's, she lost her shoes and was wearing a gray sweater when she died, which didn't match the style of her clothes.

Xiao Huang scratched his chicken nest in confusion: "But recently, in this age group, our Yanquan only lost Xu Yunfei."

Xia Yi nodded: "I really can't confirm it. Just compare the DNA with your parents. What age is it? How can there be any confusion about the source of the corpse?"

There is no special forensic identification center in Yanquan, and the forensic team is merged into the Criminal Investigation Detachment. Due to the extreme shortage of manpower, the professional quality varies, and the equipment is old, it takes a long time to do a DNA identification.

"Hey——" Yan Jingjing sighed, and whispered to Xia Yi, "It's better to stay with us."

When the little girl's body was sent to the forensic laboratory, it was further damaged.Enduring the stench, the criminal police took the corpse out of the suitcase, but when it was sent to the laboratory, the internal organs were rubbed off along the way, and the internal organs fell off due to the corrupt gas, and the skin fell off in large pieces, which made the chief forensic doctor jump up in anger: " The murderer deliberately pretended to be a person, and you still have to take it out!"

When Xu Yunfei's mother heard the news, she fainted immediately, so how could she have the guts to enter the autopsy room to identify the corpse.

Shao Lin glanced at the corpse from a distance through the window, and whispered in Xia Yi's ear, "I don't think so."

Xia Yi immediately: "Huh???"

Shao Lin shook his head silently, saying that all the professionals are there, so let's wait for the forensic doctor's explanation later.After speaking, he turned his head and walked downstairs to the office, but Xia Yi stopped him at the corner of the stairs with his arm.

Xia Yi glanced left and right to see if there was no one there, then leaned forward, snorted warmly on Shao Lin's neck, and laughed in a low voice: "I don't want to listen to professional lectures, I just like to listen to you."

In the public places of the unit, Shao Lin was embarrassed to be intimate with people, so he quickly stretched out his index finger and middle finger to poke the person's collarbone, keeping a little distance, but it still seemed like a cluster of electric currents shot through his heart.He rolled his eyes and explained: "Look at the skin of that corpse, it fell off in large areas just by moving and rubbing. The skin of a normal dead for a week is still moist and elastic."

Xia Yi frowned: "Don't use this kind of words to describe the view of giants in the future, I look at you and you are quite moist and elastic."

Shao Lin: "..."

Xia Yi tilted his head: "Is it possible that the skin peeling is caused by soaking in the sea? Sea water is salty."

Shao Lin thought for a while, then shook his head again: "It's possible that he was exposed to the sun, or the deceased had some kind of skin disease. I think it's more likely that this is a corpse that was frozen and then thrown into the sea .So now after throwing the corpse, it will quickly enter the view of giants, and the skin will fall off. If so, the time of death cannot be determined, but this time must be five days ago, so it cannot be Xu Yunfei."

"Besides, in broad daylight, kidnapping a child in a park must be the behavior of an adult. How can an adult hate a child? Most of the time it is aimed at the parents. However, the other party neither kidnapped and ransomed nor spread anything The video that can mentally abuse the parents shows that the murderer has no hatred for Xu Yunfei's master's family. Then the murderer randomly chooses a child, kills it immediately after kidnapping, and falls into the sea silently. The probability of this is always a little bit small.”

Xia Yi listened, her brows furrowed even deeper.If it wasn't for Xu Yunfei, it would be a bad sign that one would get lost first, and then the other would die.

The fact that the little girl was lost and then the child's body was found also alarmed Luo Yuzhong, a highly respected old criminal policeman from the Yanquan City Bureau.Mr. Luo is more than 80 years old. He has retired and returned to employment. He has dedicated his life to the cause of child abduction and has made countless achievements.It is said that there is still a thick photo album in Luo Yuzhong's house - every child who has been lost from Yanquan City and has not yet been found has a backup with him.The old man is reluctant to retire for a long time, just hoping to wait until the day when those children are found.

Find one, count one.

As he grew older, the old man hunched over and was a head shorter than when he was young, but his words were logical and energetic, and the criminal police in Yanquan City respected him very much.

By afternoon, police officers in Salt Spring were finally waiting for the preliminary results of the forensic doctor.Shao Lin guessed right—according to the large peeling off of the epidermis and the severe decay of the stomach contents, the forensic doctor can confirm that the corpse was indeed frozen before falling into the sea.The forensic team believes that the time of thawing and falling into the sea was 3-5 days ago, but it is difficult to confirm the specific time of death of the little girl, and it is very likely that it was 1-3 months ago.The deceased was also eleven or twelve years old, but it was not Xu Yunfei who disappeared five days ago.

So, the question is, who is she?

Xiao Huang cried and said, "I've checked everything, and it's very likely that none of them belong to our Yanquan. The ones that were lost and not found before are all boys, and there are no girls around ten years old, not a single one!"

No poison was found in the stomach contents of the deceased. Most of them were carbohydrates. The amount was not much, but the degree of corruption was very high. He may have eaten some steamed buns or rice during his lifetime.However, the forensic doctor also found that the little girl's left leg was broken before she was alive, and two of her ribs were broken, one of which pierced into her lung. X traces of violation.Judging from the condition of her lungs, the little girl was already dead before she sank into the sea, she was neither drowned nor frozen to death, the most fatal injury was the half broken bone that pierced into her lungs.

In other words, it is very likely that he was beaten to death.

Someone in the office gasped: "Murder."

Xia Yi raised her mouth: "The one that traps the child's hands and feet is a sailor's knot, right? Most people don't know how to tie this kind of knot. Is it possible that the murderer is a fisherman or a boatman?"

Luo Yuzhong nodded: "That's right. However, most of the residents on Dashitan are fishermen for generations, and those who don't fish have gone to big cities to make a living. This kind of knot is still very common in Yanquan."

The forensic doctor continued: "The brand of the box containing the deceased is not recognizable, but what is strange is that there is still a bunch of blue silk flowers in the little girl's arms."

Shao Lin suddenly realized.

When he looked at the photos before, he felt that it was against harmony. In this winter, where did the blue flowers come from? Now, after hearing what the forensic doctor said, he realized that the flowers looked like they were wet by sea water, but they were just a bunch of flowers. fake flowers.The small flower is as big as a child's fist when it is fully opened, with dark blue petals and a circle of white stripes at the front.

The police officers in charge of the case chatted:

"...Does this flower have any special meaning?"

"First of all, there must be fake flowers around the murderer. Does this mean that the murderer is a woman?"

"It doesn't matter, I also have fake flowers at home!"

"Hey, didn't the Yan'an Municipal Bureau say that there is a consultant with a psychological background?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Shao Lin for the first time.

"Let me just say a few words, and I have the right to throw a brick to attract jade." Shao Lin said slowly, "A bouquet of flowers was placed next to the tortured corpse. I can think of three explanations. The first is that the murderer felt guilty about the deceased. After committing violence, you suddenly regret it, so you will send flowers. In this case, there is a high probability that there is some kind of emotional connection between the murderer and the deceased, or an image replaced by the deceased. The second is that there is more than one murderer ——The perpetrator is not the same as the person who disposes of the corpse. The former is tyrannical, while the latter is guilty. And the last one is some kind of signature or ceremony...Then, the flower itself should have some special meaning. "

Xia Yi hissed, and thought of the missing Xu Yunfei again: "Damn it, don't you run into a serial killer?! There will be another box tomorrow with blue flowers stuffed in it, and hell will it be!"

The policeman in charge of the case had a sad face: "Comrade from Yan'an, I beg you, please don't talk like a crow."

"Speaking of which, what kind of flower is this? I don't know much about it." Shao Lin turned his head and asked, "Have you seen this kind of flower before?"

Several policemen in Salt Spring City looked at each other in blank dismay, saying that they had never seen it before, and they expanded their circle of colleagues, and there was not even a single person they thought was "familiar".

Shao Lin frowned.

He has never seen it, and neither has the local police, so it is likely that these are not local flower species.

Xia Yi quickly took out his phone: "There is an app that can take pictures of flowers, wait, let me try."

Xiao Huang gave a short laugh: "There is also this kind of APP, Officer Xia's life is quite interesting."

Someone Xia wrinkled his face and said that it wasn't my silly son who wandered the streets and loved to eat flowers.I always have to know what he ate, and tell the doctor if something goes wrong!

When Xiao Huang heard this, he was immediately annoyed, and labeled Xia Yi as an enemy of the people: "Damn it, I can't tell, you even have a wife! You are the winner in life!"

Xia Yi's fingertips crackled on the screen, confident and confident, without blushing: "Yes, I have a wife, smart and beautiful, don't you envy her?"

Xiao Huang rolled his eyes when he heard the words, Shao Lin: "..."

Perhaps because of the fake flowers, the APP spit out an inaccurate result: purple morning glory.Everyone looked at the silk flower, and then thought about the morning glory. The artificial intelligence thought it was similar, but the human intelligence thought it was nothing like it.

Xia Yi suggested: "Maybe it's just flowers that don't have any category? The ones that look good? The other party also threw them away?"

Shao Lin sent the picture of the blue silk flower to Yan Jingjing again.She once wrote a software that can search for similar or identical pictures across the Internet.

Yan got the mission and was resurrected on the spot with full blood.She has been talking about it all day, why Shaolin Xia Yi can follow the exciting case, and she can only sit in the conference room and teach the police to use the "go home" system.A group of "Plants vs. Zombies" don't understand middle-aged and elderly uncles, and they are not completely accustomed to digitalization. Compared with the "going home" system, they seem to be more interested in Yan Jingjing's lifelong events.

Who knew that Yan Jingjing actually found something——

"Atlantic sea god slug!" The little girl danced and showed the picture to the two of them, "This flower grows in the tropics, a vine, and crawls on the sandy beach by the sea. Because its pattern is very similar to the Atlantic sea god slug, it is also called'" Poseidon flower'. In the Pacific Rim islands in Southeast Asia, some fishermen believe that if you bring this kind of Poseidon flower on board, you can pray to the sea god for a safe return!!!"

"Leader, look at how cute this slug is!"

Shao Lin and Xia Yi looked at each other—there was neither such a slug nor such a tradition in Yanquan City!

"It was a great help, thank you Jingjing."

Yan Jingjing wailed: "Hey, hey, can you take me along with you -"

Xia Yi turned around and shouted: "No! You continue to teach them how to use the 'go home' system!"

Back in the office, Xia Yi asked, "Xiao Huang, do you have a map of the ocean currents around Dashitan this season?"

Sure enough, the vicinity of Dashitan is the dividing point of two ocean currents. The northern one runs to the southwest and runs towards the coastline, while the southern one runs to the southeast, away from the coastline.If the box had been thrown to the south, there was no way it would have washed ashore.

"If the murderer could throw the corpse into the sea, he would definitely not have left it on the shore. Our murderer must have never thought that the box would be washed ashore by ocean currents and waves and run aground. Not familiar with the flow of the current and, most likely, not a native."

"The person who threw the body should be a sailor or boatman from out of town. He worked on a fishing boat with a freezing device. Ordinary fishing boats that go to sea on the same day and return on the same day do not have long-term freezing devices on them. , so this must be a large fishing boat that will go to sea for a long time, or an intermediary acquisition boat. When the body was dumped 3-5 days ago, it should have sailed through this sea area where the ocean current goes west," Shao Lin stretched out his hand and circled a piece Map, "Moreover, this ship should have a route to Southeast Asia, or, this is an international company, and there are boatmen from Southeast Asia on board!"

"Go and search, such a ship should have a record in Dashiwan port."

Luo Yuzhong stared at him like a falcon, and a trace of surprise and trance suddenly flashed in his eyes.

ps The Atlantic sea god slug is real, but the allusion of the flower is my nonsense.
