misplaced survival

"Hello, we are police officers from the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Jiangxin Sub-bureau. Here is my police ID. Is there any guest in room 228?" Song Zhou asked the front desk of the hotel while showing his police ID.

The receptionist shook his head and said truthfully, "Once the guest heard that someone had died in that room, he was reluctant to live in it. The room has always been empty."

The guests will know as soon as they search the news, and they can't hide it when they come to the front desk to ask if there is such a thing.But as soon as I said it, these guests quit, and they will check out and refund immediately.

Song Zhou asked: "We want to go up and have a look, can I borrow the room card?"

"Yes." The front desk opened the drawer and handed them the room card in the corner, "Call me if you have anything to do."

"Thank you." Song Zhou thanked him, took the room card, and signaled Jiang Xiyan to follow him.

After he took over the case of Yaoming Group, he came several times. Now that he has to check for gaps and make up for omissions, and Xi Yan is new to the case, he came to the scene to reproduce the scene of the crime, and the effect he got was the best.

Bai Ya and Tao Yiran followed closely behind. They were both police officers who were in charge of the case before. They were very familiar with the scene and led the way out of the elevator.

"The one at the end of the corridor is the one." Bai Ya pointed to the corridor on the right side of the elevator.

This hotel is a high-end service, and the design and decoration are not bad. This floor is a business suite, and the price for one night is not low.

Song Zhou stepped forward to open the door, inserted the room card into the room power supply, and turned on the lights.

Suddenly, the room that had been silent for many days was brightly lit.

After the police finished the survey, they did not block the hotel anymore.The hotel then cleaned the room, and now it looks clean and bright, without any blood.

Bai Ya handed Jiang Xiyan the photos of the scene that he had taken before, and gave a general account of the situation at that time.

"On the day of the incident, the police received a report from the hotel attendant that a man drowned in the bathtub in the room." Bai Ya said, pushing open the door of the bathroom and pointing to the bathtub in the corner.

Hearing this, Jiang Xiyan looked down at the survey photos in his hand, and found a few photos of the bathroom.

In the photo, a man with a good face is lying in the bathtub, his face is painful, his body is stiff and pale, and no obvious trauma can be seen on his body.

"We asked the front desk that the hotel had to check out before 12 o'clock, and it was past 12 o'clock that day, and the tenant hadn't checked out for a long time, so the front desk called the room to ask if the tenant needed to extend the time, But no one answered the phone, so I sent someone upstairs to check." Tao Yiran also briefly explained the beginning of the case to Jiang Xiyan.

Jiang Xiyan looked at Bai Ya and Tao Yiran and nodded with a smile. The last time he came to the branch office was when he was a freshman. In a blink of an eye, almost nine years have passed, and most of the people in the branch office have changed.

He thought it would take a lot of time for him to blend in, but the branch office didn't wait for him to blend in, but approached him proactively.

Lu Nanhuai and the others didn't come over today, but Song Zhou had read the file before and was very familiar with the details of the case, so he described the forensic autopsy part.

Song Zhou opened the document he brought from the police station, handed it to Jiang Xiyan, pointed to himself and said, "The deceased had no open wounds on the body surface, and bruises appeared on his body not long after he was fished out of the water. , Most of these bruises appeared on the joints, especially the strangle marks on the wrists. Although the deceased was soaked in water, the body's ear canals were dry, there was no white foam in the mouth and nose, and there was no edema in the conjunctiva."

Jiang Xiyan has handled many cases and accumulated some experience. After listening to Song Zhou's description, he quickly discovered the suspicious point, "This is not a sign of drowning."

Song Zhou nodded, "Yes, after the forensic autopsy, it was found that the deceased's trachea, bronchi, and alveoli had no drowning, and it was determined that the deceased fell into the water after death."

"Then what's the real cause of death?" Jiang Xiyan asked while looking at Song Zhou's photo on the ground.

Song Zhou pointed to the photo of the deceased's face, "The corpse's face was swollen, cyanotic, with obvious spots, facial skin and conjunctival spotting, rose teeth appeared in the mouth, and the shoulder and neck were slightly dislocated. The autopsy revealed that the blood of the deceased was fluid. Dark red, with congestion in internal organs, spotting of serosa and mucous membranes, acute emphysema, and anemia of the spleen.”

"Looks like he died of suffocation." Jiang Xiyan murmured.

Song Zhou nodded to confirm Jiang Xiyan's thoughts, "Yes, the forensic doctor said that the cause of death was indeed hypoxic asphyxia."

Then, he picked up one of the photos, which was a section of the nasal cavity. In the photo, there were two ring-shaped scars on the inside of the deceased’s nasal cavity. He repeated the forensic doctor’s description: “These two scars have bruises on the edges, and there were reactions during his lifetime. The size should be something like a straw."

Jiang Xiyan looked puzzled, "Why did the deceased use a straw to breathe?"

As he said that, he looked at other photos. Combined with the strangle marks on the surface of the corpse, the deceased had his hands bound and had no ability to resist. It seemed that he was deprived of the right to breathe, resulting in suffocation.

Bai Ya pursed his lips in a bit of embarrassment, squatted in front of Jiang Xiyan, pointed to the photo of the strangle marks on the deceased's body surface and said: "Combining the strangle marks on the joints and face of the deceased, we speculate that the deceased should have been wearing glue when he was alive. |Yi, that is...you understand!"

The new police officer Jiang looked quite innocent, and he might not understand these things. He needed to explain, but it was too explicit and not very good.

With his reminder, Jiang Xiyan quickly reacted and nodded solemnly: "Understood, adult|game."

Seeing Jiang Xiyan say this seriously, Bai Ya's expression was wonderful, and he turned his head to look at Song Zhou in surprise.

Sensing Bai Ya's gaze, Song Zhou said slowly, "What do you see me doing? Besides, he is an adult."

Although the little guy was still young when he first met Jiang Xiyan, but now that he is 27 or [-], he understands everything he needs to know.

Jiang Xiyan quickly realized that Song Zhou didn't think he had played these games before.

So he immediately looked at Song Zhou and argued, "I didn't... I've handled such cases before, so I know something about it."

No, why was he in such a hurry to explain this to Song Zhou?The more you explain, the more confusing it becomes.

Song Zhou was a little taken aback, quickly concealed some emotions, and then passed a step: "Since you have handled similar cases, what's your opinion on this case?"

Jiang Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief, and followed his words: "In this type of game, there are generally two roles, the sadist and the masochist, and the pleasure of controlling and being controlled is different from ordinary people. But The abused party will be deprived of some rights in the game, such as self-control, vision, etc., so the abused party will trust the abused party more relatively. That is, the deceased and the murderer knew each other, and the deceased knew The killer relies partly on emotions."

Although this topic is embarrassing, they are the police, and solving the case is their purpose, and they cannot focus on other things.

"Very good." Song Zhou's eyes showed appreciation.

He watched the little guy grow up step by step, not just to save his life, but he was serious about learning how to be a good policeman, so in terms of ability, he absolutely believed in Jiang Xiyan.

Bai Ya didn't hesitate to praise himself, "Not bad!"

He sighed, got up and walked to the wardrobe, opened the door, motioned Jiang Xiyan to come and have a look.

He pointed to the crossbar in the closet and said: "During the survey, we found that there were obvious friction marks on the crossbar of the closet. We found fibers on it. After material identification, we judged it to be a material such as a ribbon."

"So the deceased's hands were tied here before he was alive." Jiang Xiyan roughly imagined the position in his mind.

Bai Ya nodded to confirm, he pushed and pulled the cabinet door, closed the two doors together, and pulled it to the middle of the cabinet door, motioning Jiang Xiyan to bring the photo.

"The cabinet door has been replaced, but when we came, friction marks were found on both sides of the two cabinet doors, and something like grease was found on the outer door."

Bai Ya pointed to the photo in Jiang Xiyan's hand. Because the friction marks are continuous, it can be seen that the two sliding doors were closed when the crime happened.

Jiang Xiyan asked: "Has the oil been identified for its substance?"

"I did it, and found out that it's not grease, but a water-soluble lubricant, which is used when wearing degummed | clothes and in some special circumstances." Bai Ya found a frontal photo of the cabinet door, which can be seen from the traces It can be seen that the deceased had his hands bound and struggled.

Jiang Xiyan flipped through the rest of the photos, there was only one set of fingerprints on the room card and the light button, but two sets of fingerprints were marked on the doorknob.

The other photo was taken of a wastebasket without a garbage bag, and now the trace inspection will not take random photos, and there must be a reason for keeping the photos.

It seems that the murderer most likely took the garbage bag with him, and the bag may contain key evidence.

Seeing that Jiang Xiyan noticed this photo, Song Zhou also brought up some clues, "The police checked the hotel surveillance and found that the deceased came to the room alone on the night of the incident. At 11 o'clock in the evening, a man secretly Entered the hotel, then came to this room, and left at 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, and when I left, I seemed to have something in my arms, which looked like a black plastic bag."

The forensic doctor said that the death time of the deceased was 10 to 12 hours. The hotel attendant called the police at 12:30. At [-] pm, the police had already fished the body out of the water, so the deceased probably had an accident around [-]:[-] in the middle of the night.

But the murderer left after 2 o'clock. During this time, he should be setting up the scene.

Tao Yiran followed the captain's words, "The man deliberately concealed his facial features, but the intelligence team tracked him all the way according to his clothing and walking habits, and found that the man then entered the toilet of the subway station, changed clothes, and went to a family. The bar. Because the bar is dark, the lighting is complicated, and the man may have changed his clothes again, so we lost it."

"It seems that the suspect has strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities, and it shouldn't be the first time he committed a crime." Jiang Xiyan speculated.

Song Zhou nodded to confirm. The police later investigated a similar case that happened recently, and found that not long before the incident, someone called the police saying that he had been molested.

The caller said that the other party asked her to use adult props after opening the room, and made some unacceptable demands. Although the price was not low, it might threaten her life, so she ran away quickly and took the opportunity to call the police.

But the suspect acted cautiously and fled before the police arrived.

The police asked the caller about the suspect's appearance, but the caller said that she was not very clear about the specifics, because the suspect only left a small night light in the room, and it seemed that he deliberately didn't want her to see his face clearly.

Because the caller was suspected of being a paid waiter, the police educated her and reminded her to pay attention to safety in the near future, and to call the police immediately if she found anything unusual.

The two cases have similarities, and it is not ruled out that they were committed by the same person.

After watching the scene almost, Song Zhou returned the room card to the front desk and thanked him.

Jiang Xiyan stood aside, silently searching for news. There were indeed many entertainment news reports on this matter before.

The name of the deceased was Wei Chenyun, male, 22 years old, a celebrity in the entertainment industry. He didn't seem to have any masterpieces during his lifetime. His main job was stage dancers and acting as passers-by in film and television works.

But after his accident, many marketing accounts scrambled to report, praising his acting and dancing ability, and dug up some leftovers of his family to continuously expand his popularity.

Jiang Xiyan asked puzzledly: "Is this the only way to know how to cherish something after losing it?"

Song Zhou shook his head helplessly, "This is what's really scary. They don't have empathy, but they cry loudly."

Some people yelled loudly, and passers-by took a closer look and found that what was being sold at the stall was not their misery, but something called "human blood steamed buns".
