Criminal Investigation: Satan's Forest

After coming out of the anatomy room, Mori went to the trace identification department to find Li Kuan, to learn about the double-edged dagger that Lu Lingfeng mentioned just now and found at the scene.

In fact, so far, due to the fact that the police have very few clues about this case, it is not yet possible to determine it for the time being.However, Mori Yu has more or less developed an interest in the murderer of this case.

— Burying the body in someone else's grave is a relatively uncommon way of hiding a body in criminal cases.Moreover, the victim in this case has no contact with the owner of the tomb.

If it weren't for the change of moving the grave later, this method of hiding the corpse could be considered comprehensive.

However, from Lu Lingfeng's mouth, colleagues from the Trace Inspection Department found a dagger that was suspected to be a tool for committing crimes at the burial site.

In Moriyu's view, it was a very stupid move for the murderer to bury the corpse and the tools of the crime together.

In a criminal homicide case, the dead body is always the most difficult to deal with.On the contrary, the modus operandi is easy to dispose of.Just because of this, criminals often choose a place at random to discard their crime tools.Some criminals even use more valuable objects as tools for committing crimes because of impulsive killings. After the crime, they will clean up the traces of blood on them and leave the tools for committing crimes.

Mori has studied many different cases at home and abroad.The murderers' handling of the crime tools is nothing more than random discarding and retention.

The above two situations are relatively common.

He had encountered such a serial rape and murder case before.Every time the murderer commits a crime, he will first control the victim woman, then take off his belt and strangle the victim to death. During the strangulation process, he also sexually assaults the victim woman.After committing the crime, the murderer will continue to use this belt.Even if it is damaged, he will repair it himself and not replace it.Until Mori and the others finally caught the murderer, his criminal belt was still around his waist, and eight innocent women were killed by the murderer with this belt.

This is a case of the murderer keeping the tools of the crime.

However, this method of burying crime tools and corpses in one place is rare.

Lu Lingfeng said that this murderer was of very high quality, and he was probably a repeat offender.Mori disagrees with this point of view.Although there are some traces on the surface, it is more inclined that the murderer committed the crime with a purpose and plan-reasoning.

In the trace inspection department, Mori finally saw the double-edged dagger they were talking about.It is worth mentioning that the double-edged dagger Li Kuan found in the soil next to the remains is the only important physical evidence so far.The reason why it is important is because this dagger is very special. Both the material of the handle and the style of the knife are very rare, which will play a certain role in finding out the identity of the murderer.It is likely to be the breakthrough point of this case.

Moriyu's eyes fell on the dagger wrapped in the evidence bag.

"Bone handle dagger."

"That's right," Li Kuan said. "The handle of this double-edged knife is made of the bones of some kind of creature. Human bones can be ruled out. I guess... it should be the bones of some kind of animal. I don't know what kind of animal it is. Got it."

After speaking, Li Kuan sighed, "It's really a good knife. It has been buried in the soil for so many years, and there is no rust on the blade."

By the way, Li Kuan has a special hobby, that is, he likes uniquely shaped daggers.If it was legal to collect daggers and control knives in China, he would have already collected a house and opened a shop.

Li Kuan continued: "However, we did not detect any fingerprints on this dagger. We only detected a small amount of human blood on the handle, and the test results showed that it was completely consistent with the DNA of the skeleton."

Senyu was silent for a moment thoughtfully, and said, "It is very difficult to buy this kind of bone-handled dagger in the domestic market now," he said, looking up at Li Kuan, "I will take this dagger away first. .”

After speaking, without waiting for Li Kuan's reply, he turned around and walked towards the door.

Li Kuan strode forward and said with some embarrassment: "Oh my God, just wait..."

Mori stopped and looked at him, "What's the matter?"

"This dagger can't just be taken away. It's the only physical evidence now. If the evidence is contaminated, this...I'll...heh, heh..." Li Kuan scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

Mori said indifferently, "Let the evidence be contaminated, such a low-level mistake will not happen to me. When I find the information I need, I will return it immediately."

Li Kuan didn't dare to let go, and took away the evidence privately. This matter was no joke.Even Mori, the criminal police consultant specially hired by the city bureau, could not openly take away the evidence. "But... I have to talk to Senior Brother about this matter first."

"If I were you, I would not choose to waste time here, but to investigate the source of this dagger. As I mentioned just now, this kind of bone-handled dagger is hard to find in the domestic market, but it is rare in the southwest border of our country. It’s very common. Residents in many local villages still retain the habit of hunting, so local men will wear homemade knives to prevent wild beasts from attacking.”

Li Kuan thought for a moment, "Professor Sen means... the murderer probably went to places like the Southwest border?" Then he thought about it, and felt that the scope was too big.So he added: "There should be quite a few people who went to the southwest border five years ago,"

Mori turned the evidence bag up to expose the lower part of the handle, "There were originally three English letters here, because the owner of this knife often used the bottom of the handle to hit certain places, which caused serious wear and tear on the bottom of the handle. The letters are worn out and blurred so they are not easy to see."

Li Kuan took the evidence bag containing the dagger from him, carefully observed the bottom of the handle of the knife that Mori said, and found that there were traces of letters engraved on the center.He picked up a magnifying glass from the table beside him, pointed it at the position of the letter and observed it carefully.

"It seems to be...S...O, the letter in the middle is really unclear."

There was a faint smile in Senyu's eyes, that smile was a bit arrogant, I saw him say: "SEO,"

Li Kuan asked in confusion, "SEO...is it a mark?"

Mori said: "It is one of the largest private armed groups in country F, and their members have a nice name, 'Death Brokers'. So the owner of this dagger was a mercenary. I want to have this hard condition , it is not difficult to find the owner of this dagger."

Li Kuan was a little excited, "Yes, it's just a way to give away a sub-question." After finishing speaking, he handed the evidence bag in his hand to Senyu, and then walked out without turning his head, completely forgetting what happened just now.

***

Lu Lingfeng was not at the city bureau the whole afternoon.After he handed over the task, he drove to the neighboring city - Dangcheng.The purpose of this time is to invite a famous senior from Dangcheng City Bureau to Yancheng.This senior is an expert in skull restoration technology.

The so-called cranial reconstruction is to use bones to reconstruct the face to restore the appearance of the deceased to the greatest extent possible.This technology has begun to be widely used in criminal cases. Using this technology, in many criminal cases, there are only victims' bones at first, and the identity cannot be confirmed.Finally, through skull restoration technology, a digital figure close to the appearance of the victim before his life was reconstructed.Afterwards, the criminal investigators will upload the picture to the Internet, TV and newspapers, and initiate a revelation of the identification of the dead body.

It wasn't until after eight o'clock in the afternoon that Lu Lingfeng brought his senior back to Yancheng.

When we arrived at the office, none of the people under him had left.Lu Lingfeng held a simple meeting, mainly to find out the current progress of the case.

Sun Yibo retrieved all the missing persons lists from five years ago, but the result was disappointing, none of them matched the characteristics of the victim.Just in case, he checked the list of missing persons from six years ago again, but still found nothing.

In the end, three men were barely screened out.Only age, height and weight met the characteristics of the victim, but none of the three males had the characteristic of "six toes on the left foot".

And Jiang Yan and Cheng Chengcheng are mainly responsible for investigating whether the major hospitals and clinics in Yancheng have ever admitted and treated male patients with ten toes in all time periods five years ago.The two were busy for a day before they sorted out a list.In the end, they were still—excluded, because the people on these lists, except for two who died of illness, were all alive.

For a while, confirming the source of the corpse became a major problem for the serious crime team, and it stopped.

Everyone had to pin their hopes on skull restoration technology for the time being.

Lu Lingfeng returned to the office with a lot of thoughts, and as soon as he opened the door and walked in, he saw two people sitting on the sofa.

——It was Mori Yu and Xu Jinyan.

As soon as Lu Lingfeng saw Xu Jinyan, he regained his spirit instantly.

"If I'm right, you must have brought me good news." Senyu looked at him indifferently, and teased: "It seems that your IQ can only be used here."

The revenge in the dissecting room in the afternoon has not yet been reported. It is obvious that Lu Lingfeng does not want to see Senyu now, but he will not make things difficult for the clues of the case.As the saying goes, a little intolerance can lead to big plans.

"No nonsense, just talk about the business."

Mori said: "I am very interested in the dagger with a bone handle, so I spent some time researching it. As Li Kuan said, the handle of the knife is made of animal bones, and the marrow cavity of this bone is very large. , I compared the bones of various animals, and finally found that this bone belongs to the hind leg bone of a large carnivore. Only the eastern part of the southwestern border of our country has a large area of ​​plains, and large carnivores are very common in plain areas, so this dagger is very big It's kind of from there."

Lu Lingfeng knew that in addition to criminal psychology, Senyu also had a lot of research on zoology.Before coming to Yancheng as a consultant, he also stayed in Yancheng Animal Bone Marrow Research Institute for half a year.

Lu Lingfeng nodded and said, "What else?"

Mori continued: "I also found the acronym of a mercenary organization group at the bottom of the handle. As for this point, let Li Kuan explain. Well, that's all I want to say."

After speaking, without waiting for Lu Lingfeng's reaction, Senyu stepped up and left the office directly.
