traces of all things

Several people from the special case team were sitting in the small car speeding on the mountain road, and they were rushing to Dayu County under the provincial capital at this moment - this was the first time Lu Zheng appeared on the scene in the provincial department.

Dayu County can be regarded as a place with relatively good law and order within the jurisdiction of the provincial capital. The economy has developed well in recent years, and there are not many vicious criminal cases in the county. However, the urban-rural integration area and several subordinate townships are not very stable.The person who called for help was Fan Zhiyu, captain of the Interpol Brigade of Dayu County.

"The crime took place in Niba Village, under Dayu County." Geng Zhizhong was the first to receive the application for support, and he briefly introduced some known facts of the case to several members of the team in the car: "Bone bones."

Several people nodded silently. At present, the specific scene has not been seen, and the only definite information is this, and Geng Zhizhong can't make a judgment.

The ossified corpse appeared, so it must have been a long time since the incident occurred. Many traces and evidences at the scene may have disappeared with time, and there is not much room for trace inspectors.Generally, in this case, the forensic strength carries the audience.

Daxiong is worthy of being a brick of the provincial government who moved wherever he needed, skilled in technology, driving fast, and roaring the theme song of "Initial D" along the way.

"Floating, floating, floating!"

Wei Xiongfeng howled and turned the steering wheel, and the words "Niba Village" appeared on the sign in front of him.

This Niba Village has a good location, close to the provincial road and convenient transportation, the village's infrastructure is fairly good, and the cement on the main road is quite smooth.When the group of four arrived at the entrance of the village, a small police officer ran forward to lead them from a distance, and directed them to drive to the foot of a small hillside around the village, only to see a large crowd of onlookers and The policemen around to maintain order.

"Let's go, let's go." The little policeman struggled to squeeze his way out of the enthusiastic onlookers. Seeing that Lu Zheng and the others were wearing police uniforms and carrying boxes in their hands, they retreated quite consciously. On one side, he pointed at them with a little awe.

The scene of the crime was an unowned wasteland on the edge of the village, backed by a small hill, and the ground was full of weeds. Lu Zheng looked down and saw a dirt road with many shoe prints on it. It seems that it was severely damaged by the onlookers.

Fan Xinyu, Captain Fan, was waiting for them in the middle of the dirt road. He was a middle-aged man in his forties, with firm features, and looked like a policeman. When he saw Boss Geng and his party coming, his frown eased a little. After a while, Boss Geng stretched out his hand to Boss Geng, who was the leader at first glance: "Are you experts from the provincial department? Hello."

The two simply shook hands, and without wasting time exchanging greetings, Fan Xinyu took out his notebook and began to introduce the situation at the scene.

On the west side of the path, there is a large piece of weeds in the shape of lodging, on which there is a pile of colorless, tattered, greenish-black parcels, which have been completely cut open by the first batch of trace inspection personnel and forensic doctors who arrived at the scene. Wrapped with some white and yellow human bones, and a few large stones.

"It was Li Ermao, a villager who found the bones. Their family lived at the head of the village. He came back from working in the field at noon today and suddenly felt urgent to urinate. Seeing that there were few people and tall grass on the side of the road, he wanted to come over to relieve his hand. He didn't want to see a big There seemed to be something in the bag, he pulled a corner out of curiosity, saw a skull, was frightened, ran home and called the police.”

"The investigators just arrived at the scene and found that there were a few sticks of burnt incense on the side of the body's package. They initially guessed that it might be someone's bones. They didn't have the money to pack them into the coffin, so they buried them on the spot and let the wild dogs dig them out. .”

"However?" While listening, Lu Zheng had already put on his gloves and shoe covers quickly.If it wasn't an unnatural death, the police in Dayu County could handle it by themselves, and Captain Fan couldn't have bothered to ask the provincial department for support.

Fan Xinyu had heard about Lu Zheng's ability, and when he saw his movements, he relaxed a little, and soon frowned again, and stretched out his hand to signal Lu Zheng to go over.

Lu Zheng squatted down, and together with Fan Xinyu, he opened the black and green wrapping around the bones.

"Hey, how could this happen—" The bluffing voice came from behind, and it was Wei Xiongfeng who was always on standby with a camera.

Lu Zheng also frowned slightly.

Wrapped inside with the corpse, there are also several huge stones.

Fan Xinyu's voice came from the top of his head: "Although this place is close to a small hillside, the hillside is roughly a lump of earth - the investigators have organized an inspection, and there is no such a large rock within a radius of one kilometer in this area." .”

"What's more, who will be buried with a few big stones?"

**

Although the scene of the crime had already been preliminarily investigated, Captain Fan organized investigators to protect the scene because he had a premonition that the case was not simple, so that it would be convenient for Lu Zheng and others to re-investigate after they arrived.

Lu Zheng left things such as the corpse wilderness, footprint lights and multi-band light sources in the car.

At this time, the others withdrew to conduct peripheral investigations, and Lu Zheng walked towards the bones alone.

"Nobita, take a double..."

Before he finished speaking, a pair of plastic gloves was handed to him.

"Oh, Shao Yuan. Thank you." Lu Zheng was surprised for a moment, and put on his gloves like a gentleman: "Call Daxiong, he still has mine..."

Before he finished speaking again, Tang Shaoyuan silently pushed a reconnaissance box with the lid open in front of him, as if handing over the cup of coffee in the morning.

Lu Zheng: ...Mind reading skills?

"Nobita was just called away by the boss." Tang Shaoyuan magically conjured up a SLR from behind like Doraemon: "Brother, will you use me to help take pictures and fix it? I have also learned some criminal photography."

Lu Zheng: ... How many hands does he have?

At this time, Wei Xiongfeng ran back all the way out of breath, and when he saw Tang Shaoyuan standing there holding a DSLR, he instantly exploded:

"Damn, Tang Shaoyuan! You scheming dog, a flatterer, actually robbed me of my job!"

Daxiong came back in time, Tang Shaoyuan handed over the SLR with some regrets, after all, he has a specialization in art, he is an amateur, of course he can't compare with Wei Xiongfeng who plays with the camera every day.

Lu Zheng smiled and watched the two younger brothers fight. He could see that Wei Xiongfeng always complained about Tang Shaoyuan and liked to treat him as an imaginary enemy. Either they don't say a word, or they are in a good mood and say a venomous tongue. Anyway, Wei Xiongfeng can always run away on the spot and there is nothing he can do about him.

The food chain in the group is faintly visible.

"Young people are full of energy." Faced with the unsatisfactory struggle between the two, Geng Zhizhong said to Lu Zheng with a look of relief: "Daxiong still admires Shao Yuan very much, he just speaks a few words of love and stubbornness. "

"What's that, in your young people's terms? Mouth-to-body integrity?"

Lu Zheng was startled, and turned his head to see that the old Geng, who was nearly forty years old and believed in fifty, said these five words that were incompatible with his painting style, and a loyal smile appeared on his black face.

"I learned it from my daughters, and their little girls like these."

Lu Zheng: ...That's right, young at heart, great.

After Nobita put on his gloves, the site survey began in an orderly manner.

"Looking at the scattered state of the bones, they were boned first and then moved here. This is not the first scene of the crime." Lu Zheng studied the group of dead bones in the package and said with certainty.

Wei Xiongfeng found the right angle, snapped a few photos of the corpse in its original state, and took out his notebook to record it honestly.

The specific cause of death, etc., are not within Lu Zheng's professional scope. He roughly checked the state of the bones, and then quickly and skillfully transferred to the package outside the bones, carefully touched the material of the package, and then checked the knotted knot. Location.

Then Wei Xiongfeng watched Lu Zheng pick and pick on the dirty package, twisted his index finger and thumb, observed it quite carefully, put it under his nose and smelled it, and carefully extracted it. Put some into the evidence bag, and extracted the stones, parcels and other parts, and then straightened up.

"The wrapping is a fishing net, and the way of knotting and fixing is the most common flat knot, but it is very firm after repeated tying many times."

Wei Xiongfeng continued to conscientiously take pictures at the places Lu Zheng instructed.

"Leader Lu, how is it?" Fan Xinyu saw that there seemed to be some clues on Lu Zheng's side, and hurried over to ask: "We have already taken samples of the stones in the package and the fishing nets wrapped outside and sent them to the material and chemical department for inspection, but Time doesn't go that fast."

"Don't worry." Lu Zheng smiled a little: "I have some clues. Captain Fan, can you ask an investigator to ask the villagers here, is there a fertilizer factory in this village and the surrounding villages?"

After hearing this, Fan Xinyu was refreshed a lot, and an investigator at the side took the initiative and volunteered to ask.

"Let me tell you about Xiaolu." Boss Geng came over together with Wei Xiongfeng, Tang Shaoyuan and others at some point.

Lu Zheng gave Boss Geng a thankful look. This is the first case he has appeared on the scene since he came to the Provincial Department. In fact, the members of the first team haven't gotten along well yet. Geng Zhizhong's question like this is also a way to draw the team members closer. By the way, communicate and brainstorm ideas.

But it was Tang Shaoyuan who made Lu Zheng a little strange. After the trace identification was completed, it was time for the forensic doctor. He was quite interesting, so he leaned over to listen to him first.

"Look here." Lu Zheng sorted out his thoughts a bit and said, "First of all, these three incense sticks. This place is in the wilderness, and it is not the usual burial place for villagers. It can be preliminarily concluded that these incense sticks are related to this case. These incense sticks look like It is very fresh, it should have appeared recently, and the incense ash fell neatly on the ground. On the way here, I checked the local historical weather. There was heavy rainfall in Niba Village the night before yesterday, so this corpse should have appeared in the past three days. Here—of course, the possibility of the suspect going back and forth is not ruled out."

"Does burning incense to the deceased mean that the murderer is an acquaintance and feels guilty, just like the legend of covering the face of the deceased?"

A voice rang in Lu Zheng's ear, he turned his head and found that it was actually Tang Shaoyuan.

"This incense can only show that the person who transferred the corpse felt guilty about the bones, and the person who transferred the corpse may not be the murderer." Lu Zheng patiently explained: "Now we don't know the cause of death, our top priority is to find the person who transferred the corpse. Here is The relatively remote area of ​​Niba Village has no surveillance cameras, so let’s start with the fishing net that wrapped the corpse.”

While talking, he flipped the fishing net: "The fishing net of this material, color and texture is very commonly used in rural areas of our province. It is difficult to find out the source by visual inspection. But it is worth noting the stains in the mesh, you see. "

Twirling his gloved fingers, Wei Xiongfeng got very close, almost seeing each other.

"Mud?"

"Yes, the way the bones are piled up in the fishing net is that the large bones are in the center and the small ones are on the side. If the crime happened here, then the distribution of the bones must be in line with the structural characteristics of the human body. This shape will not occur, and this The texture of the soil in the mesh is different from that of the nearby sand and stones, it is very fine, which is in line with the characteristics of the mud in the water. So this corpse was originally in a pond, or at least in a wetland, and it was only recently moved here."

"What does that have to do with the fertilizer plant?"

Lu Zheng turned his head and saw that Wei Xiongfeng was still puzzled, and the onion rings on his face became rounder.

"This is very simple, come and smell it." Lu Zheng rubbed the mud on his fingers and stretched out.Wei Xiongfei was also very active in leaning over to smell it, but he was held down by Tang Shaoyuan unsurprisingly. He bent down first, and slapped him lightly with his hand in a fairly standard posture. eyebrows raised in surprise.

"So it is!"

Seeing him, Lu Zheng immediately thought of it clearly, and couldn't help showing a look of approval.

I don't know if it was his illusion, but Tang Shaoyuan's long eyes hidden behind the lens suddenly became watery, and Lu Zheng trembled uncomfortably.

Seeing the two people in front of him playing charades, Wei Xiongfeng was not to be outdone, and leaned over to sniff it.

"Ouch, it stinks!"

His face was smoky green.
