I come from the abyss

Li Zan notified Lao Zeng, Chen Jie, and Ji Chengling to come over, sent the address, and then went back to the house.

The children's area in the house was simply sealed off. Sun Guihe, Tong Ju, and Jiang Heng stood together, staring at the doll whose arm had been torn off to reveal the stuffing inside.

The charred and withered corpses were under the stuffing, and looked like arms or legs.

Tong Bureau: "There are rubber gloves under the TV cabinet."

Li Zan found two pairs of rubber gloves from the TV cabinet, handed Jiang Heng a pair, and asked while putting on the gloves, "Did you see clearly just now?"

Jiang Heng took the gloves and put them on, and said, "I can see the finger bones. The doll is 70 centimeters by visual inspection, and the torso is about 40 centimeters. The capacity is not large, and it can't hide too many corpses. It should only have one arm."

The two stepped into the children's area one after another. Li Zan squatted down, first took out his withered hand, put it on the garbage bag next to him, reached into the inside of the doll and took out all the stuffing. As Jiang Heng said, he found no other stuffing. body parts.

Li Zan: "The color of this doll cat has faded badly, and the label is blurred. The outside looks relatively clean after cleaning, but the inside is black and the stuffing fabric is stained and stained, which shows that it is old."

Pointing to a large black stain on the stuffing fabric, he said, "It's wet and sticky, I can't see the dirt."

Jiang Heng: "The arm turned into a mummified corpse, and it didn't rot. The place where the corpse was dumped should be a relatively dry place. The incision was neat, and the murderer was very strong. The label of the doll is vague, and the date of manufacture and order number cannot be seen. It is difficult to trace from the order number. .This Hello Kitty...?"

Li Zan raised his eyebrows: "Familiar?"

Jiang Heng could hear Li Zan's calm teasing in his calm voice: "Jiang Yun likes to collect Hello Kitty."

Li Zan held back the faint smile on his lips, feeling sorry, but Jiang Heng smiled at him, slowly letting go of Jiang Yun's death.

"This is the 2009th anniversary release of the Hello Kitty series in 35. The price is not low. People who buy it are generally Hello Kitty enthusiasts and buy them for collection."

Li Zan instantly understood, "You mean that other body parts are likely to be hidden in the bellies of other Hello Kitties of the same series, and the Hello Kitty doll probably belongs to the victim rather than the murderer."

Because enthusiasts will never spoil their collections.

Moreover, the number of souvenirs issued in the anniversary series is limited and the price is expensive. Buyers are likely to choose the official website to order in order to get together the same series, because the same set of souvenirs in physical stores is prone to shortage.

"Search for victim identity narrowed."

"You can also ask the kid who picked up the doll. Wang Linlin said that Wang Xiaoxiao picked up a doll and gave it to Zhang Yangyang—maybe it's this doll."

"The three of them were very frightened, and we will talk about it after the psychological counseling is over."

They were very close, the whispers were not loud, and the atmosphere made it impossible for others to get in.

Tong Ju's tone was not very agreeable: "Jiang Heng is an ordinary person and should not be involved in the murder case. Li Zan was negligent."

Cheng Weiping nodded, it made sense.

Sun Guihe: "It doesn't have to be so strict. I heard that the two of them often appear at the murder scene, and the two of them assisted each other, and the speed of solving the case soared. Comrade Jiang Heng is also a good comrade of the people. You can treat him as a non-staff member. Special Advisor to the Detective Team - that's a good example."

Cheng Weiping nodded, it made sense.

Tong Ju snorted coldly, neither objecting nor agreeing.

Sun Guihe smiled and looked good-natured, but no one except the juniors really thought he was a kind old man.

Ten minutes later, Chen Jie and Lao Zeng arrived and took away the evidence and body parts.

Tong Ju said to Li Zan: "I will tell your aunt later, let her try her best to find out where the doll was picked up, and you go back to the branch first."

Li Zan: "Okay. Next time, he and I... come over again."

Tong Ju waved his hand: "Go. Let me rest easy, and I'll be thankful."

Li Zan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you uncle." Then he ran away.

As soon as the body parts and evidence arrived at the sub-bureau, they were immediately sent to the Department of Trace Inspection and Forensic Medicine. After the autopsy results were obtained, and when everyone entered the conference room one after another, Zhong Xueru lifted the glasses that had fallen from the bridge of his nose and signaled Wang Dangdang to open the PPT.

The photo on the PPT shows a scorched black and withered arm. Zhong Xueru said: "This is the arm found in the abdomen of the doll. It is the left hand of the deceased. The deceased is female. The height of the deceased is estimated to be about 1.55 meters from the left humerus. The bone was tested. Density, it is speculated that the age of the deceased may be in the 1517 range."

Chen Jie was stunned: "So small?"

Zhong Xueru: "The more cruel ones are yet to come." Sliding to the next photo, he said: "This is the stuffing fabric inside the doll. Have you seen the stains on it? I have tested the stain ingredients, mainly meat paste, white wine, There is a lot of white salt, and the body parts have been tested and found that the body parts have been specially processed."

Ji Chengling: "How to deal with it?"

Zhong Xueru: "Air dry."

Ji Chengling: "??"

Chen Jie: "No way."

Li Zan: "It sounds like cured and dried bacon."

Zhong Xueru: "Captain Li is right."

"Ouch!" Vomiting sounded in the conference room one after another.

Zhong Xueru: "The victim was killed and dismembered, perhaps to dispose of the corpse. The murderer cooked the corpse, and in order to cover up the smell, he put a lot of white salt and poured white wine before cooking. Air-dried and then stuffed inside the doll, this is probably the main reason why the body parts are mummified instead of ossified."

"The stuffing cloth was only stained with meat paste, no blood clots, which is a good indication that the meat is cooked."

"—vomit!!" Vomiting intensified.

Chen Jie: "I will never want to eat bacon again."

Ji Chengling's face turned pale: "Don't mention those two words."

Lao Zeng recalled: "You are immature." Then he changed the topic and said seriously: "The modus operandi is cruel, the murderer is psychopathic, the process of disposing of the body parts should be calm, he also put in white wine and white salt to dry... ordinary people face Corpses of the same kind are subconsciously afraid, and the murderer's method is like handling food, so he probably wouldn't eat human flesh."

"It's not impossible." The old criminal policeman on the opposite side said: "I think of the well-known unsolved case in the police circle. The murderer sliced ​​the victim into more than 2000 pieces of meat and boiled the head, but it was not so perverted to the point of drying. "

"It's also strange that the corpse is hidden inside the doll. Since it was dismembered, cooked, and air-dried before, why is it still hidden inside the doll before throwing the corpse? There are so many ways to throw the corpse, why choose such a cumbersome method? Since the corpse is dried, There should be more ways to deal with it quietly, why hide it in a place where the doll is so easy to be found?"

Another veteran detective was puzzled: "It's still in the expensive anniversary doll."

Faced with a group of capable old criminal policemen, young people such as Chen Jie and Ji Chengling were a little bit overwhelmed. Being able to hold back their vomiting is already a sign of good quality.

Ji Chengling once again deeply realized how stupid he was when he first entered the Dongcheng branch, believing in the rumors that came from hearsay.

This group of capable old detectives are clearly veterans who can still fight fiercely!

Li Zan rubbed his chin thoughtfully: "The murderer is a pervert. He has a certain relationship with the victim. The two knew each other. It wasn't a random murder."

Chen Jie: "Boss, how are you sure that the murderer and the victim knew each other?"

Li Zan: "Doll. This doll is a commemorative version specially released for the anniversary series, and this doll only contains the arm of the deceased. Other body parts may be hidden inside the same series of dolls."

"People who will take the initiative to buy this doll must be collectors who love Hello Kitty, and they are definitely not willing to use them as a hiding place."

"Maybe the murderer is particularly perverted and made them into beloved collectibles?"

"If it is a collectible, it will be hidden and will not be thrown away. The stains on the inside of this doll indicate that it has been abandoned for many years. Since it is not a collectible and does not belong to the murderer, it is the victim's thing-the first murder scene is likely to be In the victim's home. If it was a random murder, how could the murderer complete a series of steps such as dismembering the body, cooking, air-drying, hiding the body, and dumping the body without being discovered?"

Chen Jie suddenly realized: "There is only one answer. The murderer and the victim are acquaintances. Since they are acquaintances, it is easy to find out the cause of the murder. Love, vendetta, and financial murder. The way the murderer deals with the victim... I think it's not the same. He enjoys it, unlike killing for love and killing for money, it is vendetta killing!"

Li Zan: "The speculation is reasonable, not impossible."

Chen Jie was proud: "It's not in vain for me to read all the old papers of the branch office."

Li Zan: "The above speculations are all clues. Let's find out the identity of the deceased first. Lao Zhong, can the date and order number on the doll's label be recovered?"

Zhong Xueru: "The erosion is too severe, it is very difficult. However, I will try my best."

"Okay." Li Zan turned to tell Chen Jie and Ji Chengling: "You take people to investigate the stores and official websites that sell Hello Kitty in Yuejiang City, and look for the doll purchase records released nine years ago to commemorate the 35th anniversary series of Hello Kitty. Focus on those order numbers that collect the full set."

Looking for a full set of commemorative dolls that were issued offline and online in Yuejiang City nine years ago, which did not include scalpers, is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

But there are no other clues at present, so I can only do it in the most stupid way.

At this time, the door of the conference room was knocked open, and a criminal policeman said, "Captain Li, someone is looking for you outside."

Just as he was speaking, Jiang Heng emerged from behind the criminal policeman, dressed in casual clothes, with one hand in his pocket, smiling all over his face, and greeted everyone in the conference room.

He is already acquainted in the criminal investigation department, and he has won countless responses when he greets him.

"Is there something wrong?" Li Zan got up and walked over, whispering, "You can't just use your identity as a family member to barge in."

Jiang Heng was amused by the word 'family': "I brought first-hand news."

Li Zan: "?" He then said, "Aunt Tong asked."
