Criminal Investigation: Satan's Forest

As soon as Moriyu's words came out, the atmosphere froze for a few seconds.Except for Lin Wei, everyone else's expressions were obviously shocked.

The short man said, "He... killed him? Comrade policeman, you mean... he was killed?"

Mori asked instead, "What was the state of the body when it was found?"

The short man was dumbfounded by the question, and he felt a little apprehensive seeing Mori staring at him.He pointed to the wet middle-aged man who was standing next to him, whom he called "Lao Mei", and hesitantly said:

"Yes...Lao Mei discovered it first. My house is at the entrance of the village. I heard Lao Mei's shouts. I put down my work and ran to the lake. I saw Lao Mei dragging Sun Laoer up from the river. After coming up, other people also came and called the police, but none of us touched Sun Lao Er, he was already out of breath, who dared to move?"

As he spoke, the man sighed, and then continued: "In the morning, when I came out of the house, I saw him... He should have just left the house at that time, and he was still fine... Unexpectedly, Mrs. Gong disappeared in a blink of an eye. I have reminded him a long time ago to drink less alcohol. Six months ago, because he drank too much alcohol, he fell and broke one arm."

Lin Wei asked: "Today, before he died, who else saw him?"

At this time, a bald man said: "About seven o'clock in the morning, I saw him at the door of Mr. Sun's house. He was just walking into the house. I greeted him, and he answered me, but he didn't look back. , I reckoned that he must have drunk again, he is usually like this, so I didn't bother with him."

Lin Wei looked at the man named "Lao Mei" and asked, "How did you find out about the deceased?"

The middle-aged man named "Lao Mei" said: "My home is not far ahead, just turn a corner and go in. I went to work in the field early in the morning, and I was tired and ready to go home. After passing here, I walked to the river. On the side, I saw a mass of black things floating in the water. I wondered what it was, so I walked in a bit, and it turned out to be a person. I recognized the clothes, which were often worn by Sun Laoer When I got into the water pants, I was startled. I called someone to the village entrance, and ran back after a few shouts. I wondered if Sun Laoer would be saved, so I jumped into the lake and fished him out. It turned out that people were hardened and had already lost their breath.”

Mori asked, "When you found the body, he was floating on the water, wasn't it?"

The man nodded vigorously, then said again: "Yes."

At this time, Lin Wei turned around and walked to the corpse to observe it.Since it was not an accidental death, it was probably a criminal case. Before the forensic doctor arrived at the scene, the body was not allowed to be touched or moved without authorization.

Lin Wei said: "There was a small amount of mud on the face of the deceased, mushroom (xùn)-like foam and a small amount of water plants could be seen in the mouth and nose, lips and nails were blue-purple, and the abdomen was swollen. These are the basic characteristics of drowning. No wounds were found on the head... "Speaking, Lin Wei's eyes fell on the dead man's hands, and he found something suspicious.

He continued: "The palm is spread out, and there is no mud, sand, or water under the nails..." He frowned slightly, "Uh... It stands to reason that the deceased would struggle before drowning, so his hands couldn't be so clean. But his nails are so clean...it doesn't make sense."

Mori nodded in agreement, "Since he was able to walk from home to the river, it means that he was still conscious at the time. Even if he drank alcohol, he would definitely struggle before drowning."

Saying that, Mori stood up and looked across to a bamboo forest. "At present, it can be confirmed that this is the scene of the first crime."

"Mr. Lin Wei, what do you think?"

Lin Wei met his gaze, "I have the same opinion as you."

As he spoke, a gloomy glint flashed across his eyes.

He pondered: "The murderer is among these people."

After hearing this, Sen Yu was very calm. He raised his head and said to the few people not far away: "Before the police arrive, you should stand where you are for the time being and don't move around at will."

Several people looked at each other...

Ten minutes later, several police cars and an ambulance stopped at the entrance of the village.The police officers quickly cordoned off the scene, and a young forensic doctor got out of the police car with the investigation box. He was a little surprised when he saw Mori.

"Professor Sen, why are you here?"

The person who spoke was Yuan Yusheng, the Chief Prosecutor of Yancheng City Bureau and Xu Jinyan's big apprentice.

Mori: "Passing by."

Yuan Yusheng heard the perfunctory in his words, stopped asking, nodded slightly, and walked towards the corpse.

There is a clear regulation above that during the autopsy process, if it involves anatomy, forensic doctors cannot work outdoors where people gather.At the scene, forensic doctors can only perform the most basic autopsy work.

The deceased, male, was about 43 to 46 years old.Combined with the deceased's purple lips, cyanotic nails, subconjunctival hemorrhage, no poisoning, etc., it can be preliminarily determined that the cause of death was drowning.Rigidity has developed, and the time of death is between 3-4 hours.

Lin Wei stood aside and said softly: "Just now the bald man said that he saw the deceased at around 3:4 in the morning. The time of death of the deceased was 47-07 hours, and it is now 30:[-]... Calculated in this way, the deceased arrived at [-]:[-] in the morning. Killed around eight o'clock."

Mori didn't speak, the look in his eyes was elusive.

***

Yuan Yusheng only carried out a preliminary autopsy, and then brought the body back to the autopsy center of the Forensic Medicine Center.Several investigators were left at the scene, one investigator in charge of investigating the identity of the deceased.Investigators soon found out the identity of the deceased.

The deceased, Sun Fugen, nicknamed Sun Laoer.He is 45 years old this year and is a bachelor. He usually makes a living by farming and fishing.

After finding out the identity of the deceased, the investigators questioned the men one by one.

Lin Wei turned around, and saw Senyu standing motionless in front of a bamboo forest not far from the river bank, Xin Chang's lonely figure outlined a cool light in the soft sunlight.

"Satan,"

His voice brought all of Mori's thoughts back to reality.Mori frowned, and looked at him inexplicably.

"Sorry, I think this title is more suitable for you."

Mori ignored him.

Lin Wei continued: "How about it, have you guessed how the murderer killed the deceased?"

A trace of doubt flashed across Senyu's eyebrows: "Guess?"

"This is a word rich in romanticism. It is really surprising that it comes out of Mr. Lin Wei's mouth."

Lin Wei blinked slowly.

Sen Yu looked indifferent, and continued to speak: "Correct, any case is solved based on the clues left by the murderer at the scene and on the deceased, using the brain, through thinking step by step, to deduce the whole process of the crime, and finally combine the evidence Get the truth and the real culprit. Instead of relying on 'guessing' as Mr. Lin Wei said."

Lin Wei frowned.Originally, he still had a temper that was not sure about Mori.But now he suddenly discovered that this man who was quiet and sarcastic at first was even more interesting than he had imagined.

Lin Wei: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not belittling your way of solving the case. Let's put it this way...Professor Satan is the opponent I admire the most so far."

His words were very useful, and an imperceptible faint smile appeared on the corner of Mori Yu's lips immediately.Even at this moment, his expression was still as cold and indifferent as ever.

Moriyu pulled out a withered bamboo from the edge of the bamboo forest and plunged it into the water, seemingly measuring the depth of the river.

"The upper reaches of this river lead to Beichuan. It rained some time ago and the river rose, but the water level was not very high. The deepest part of the river is only about 1.6 meters."

"I don't know if Mr. Lin Wei noticed the soles of the deceased's shoes just now."

Lin Wei recalled for a while, he remembered that the deceased was wearing one-piece plastic waders, with rubber shoes attached to his feet, and the soles of the shoes had deep lines to prevent slipping...

Soon, Lin Wei understood what Mori Yu meant.

Lin Wei: "The soles of the deceased's shoes were covered with a lot of mud,"

Mori: "That's right, and the silt obviously came from the bottom of the river. The deceased was about 1.7 meters tall, which means that he could have stepped on the bottom of the river, so how could he drown for no reason? If he was drunk, he would struggle, But obviously there is no water plant mud in his nails. More importantly, fresh mud can be seen on the face, chest and legs of the deceased. There is only one reason for the large area of ​​the body to be contaminated with river mud..."

"The deceased was lying face down on the bottom of the river."

Lin Wei: "That doesn't make sense. The drowned corpse sank because water was poured into its abdomen, but it was impossible to lie completely flat on the bottom of the river. Moreover, there is wind today, and the river is flowing. It is impossible for the corpse to lie still. At the bottom of the river, unless..."

Mori took his words, "Unless someone pushed the deceased into the river while he was unconscious, grabbed the clothes of the deceased and pressed him into the water to drown. In order not to let the river wash away the body, but also to prevent The murderer found the body immediately, and the murderer used a prepared stone on the river bank to press the dead body behind his back to fix the body. Then he went ashore and forged his alibi. He returned to the river and moved the stone on the dead body. Let's go, the body floats to the surface."

Speaking of which, who the murderer is, the answer is already obvious.

Mori stepped up and walked up to the crowd.

Investigators are asking a man, "Where were you between 07:30 and [-] in the morning?"

Mori suddenly said: "The real time of the deceased was between 06:30 and [-]:[-]."

As he spoke, he looked at one of the men and said coldly:

"You are the murderer."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded.At the same time, they turned their gazes to the person Mori was pointing at.

It was the man named "Old Mei".

Lao Mei obviously didn't expect this scene, he was startled for a moment, and then his face was filled with anger.Pointing at Mori's nose, he cursed: "You fucking nonsense, I'll kill Sun Lao Er? Which dog of yours saw me kill someone."

After cursing, he punched Chao Mori when he saw the situation, and was stopped by two investigators beside him.

There was no emotion on Sen Yu's face, and he said coldly, "Where are you between 06:30 and [-] in the morning?"

The man broke away from the investigator and replied, "I'm digging in my own field. If you don't believe me, I'll show you."

Three minutes later, the crowd followed the man to his field.

In the two weedy fields, a piece of land has been refurbished, and a hoe is still lying in the ground.

Senyu asked, "Can anyone prove that you have been digging here from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] in the morning?"

The man sneered, "When I go to the land, do I still have to shout in the village with a trumpet?"

Mori: "That is not."

A scout asked: "Professor Sen, why do you say that Sun Fugen was killed between six o'clock and seven o'clock? Some villagers saw the deceased around seven o'clock, and there were two of them."

Mori: "The person they saw was not Sun Fugen."
