Suspected death is coming

Outside the city of T is a holy place for outings surrounded by green forests. People from T city flock here every spring and autumn.Spring is a beautiful scenery surrounded by flowers, autumn is a paradise of colorful fallen leaves, even in winter, when there are occasional trees hanging, people will come here to enjoy the beautiful scenery despite the severe cold.

But in summer, it's deserted here.

Fortunately, during the day, the cool breeze in the woods can be regarded as a relief from the scorching heat, but at night, this forest is the world of mosquitoes, rats and ants.

It's just the end of summer now, even in the daytime, you can see some grass mosquitos wandering around people everywhere in the forest, and if you step on it, hundreds of lives may be buried.

People who can't think about it will come here on summer nights, unless someone chooses to commit suicide by feeding mosquitoes.

The boy lying on the ground seemed to be the one who couldn't get over it, but he didn't feed the mosquitoes to death.

Liu Hecheng and Gu Huayu went to question the frightened donkey friends. Liu Lingling followed the forensic doctor around, while Ke Ran and Yuan Che stood outside the cordon and watched the trace inspection department finish their work before entering the scene.

The body was on the edge of the entire enclosure, very close to the weeds.His head was facing the weeds, and there were still a few weeds attached to the roots in his hands.His head was tilted to one side, his completely clouded eyes were staring blankly straight ahead, his mouth was open as if he was still calling for help.

Yuan Che looked at the ashes in the center of the field. When he arrived here, his eyes were attracted by the pile of ashes. He went straight to the pile of charred objects and looked at the ashes buried in the ground. Some of the ashes had not yet The burnt old and dry branches with their blackened and fragile bark are looming.

This clearing seems to be a good location, often used as a picnic spot, and even the weeds on the ground are difficult to survive.

At first glance, it seems that this place has also experienced a picnic. On the ground around the ashes, there are a few chicken bones and ribs that have been gnawed, which look quite fresh. Some beverage bottles and cigarette butts are scattered around, as if they were prepared in advance. All meals are brought here to eat.

Yuan Che looked at the large and obvious sign of prohibiting bonfires next to the open space. It was obvious that the people who came here either came too late and did not see it, or committed crimes knowingly.

From the shoe prints on the ground, it can be seen that they belonged to at least three people, one of whom was a woman, and the stiletto heels of her high-heeled shoes were deeply stepped into the ground.

On the night when the mosquitoes are the most, I go to the woods for a picnic and wear stiletto high heels.

All of this is as incongruous as if the jigsaw puzzles that were not a set were put together abruptly.

Gu Huayu and the others came back soon, Gu Huayu said:

"These people are bicycle enthusiasts. They made an appointment to ride today. They entered the woods around four o'clock in the afternoon. They said they were taking a break. The tall man said he was peeing, so he walked into the woods, saying that he was looking for a suitable bike. He peed everywhere, and halfway through peeing, he saw a yellow-green thing through the gaps in the branches in the forest. He went to look at it, and saw the dead man."

Yuan Che nodded: "Send them away. Leave your contact information, and you must be there whenever you pass."

Gu Huayu went to inform those people that the preliminary examination of the corpse here was over. Ling Xiaoyu took off her gloves, stood up and walked to Yuan Che's side:

"The deceased was fifteen or sixteen years old, male, and the estimated time of death was around ten o'clock last night. There were no obvious injuries on the outside, but there were traces of vomiting at the corners of his lips. In addition, there was excrement in his pants, which should be caused by diarrhea. The excrement showed a sample of rice swill. The preliminary judgment was that he died of arsenic poisoning. The deceased’s body was relatively close to the grass, and he was in a very painful stage for a long time before his death. It seemed that he wanted to ask for life to crawl here He came from here and died here after he had crawled some distance, scratched by his fingers all the way."

Liu Lingling asked: "Arsenic poisoning? Arsenic frost?"

Ling Xiaoyu nodded: "Arsenic poisoning, □□ this is mostly arsenic. But what it is depends on the test results."

Gu Huayu, who had just returned from the big post, couldn't help asking in surprise:

"In this day and age, does anyone still use arsenic? Where did they get it?"

Yuan Che followed the footprints of the largest pair of footprints around the field:

"Where you got it is what you have to find out. There are at least three people at the scene. Where did the other two go? The four of you centered on this and started to search in a wide range. See if you can find traces of the other two people. The deceased had nothing to prove his identity, right?"

Ling Xiaoyu shook her head: "No, I don't have anything on me, not even my phone."

Yuan Che: "It's a mobile phone again, arsenic poisoning. Since it's a poisoning incident, the possibility of robbery is not very high, but it can't be ruled out that the murderer is motivated by money. You check the source of the corpse. Teenagers If you didn’t come home overnight and didn’t go to class today, you should be able to report the crime at home or school.”

Ling Xiaoyu nodded, and continued to return to the corpse.

Seeing that Liu Lingling and the others were still standing in place, Yuan Che frowned and said slightly angrily:

"Didn't you hear what I said?"

Gu Huayu said:

"You said four people, where did Ke Ran go?"

Only then did Yuan Che realize that Ke Ran had disappeared, and his anger escalated instantly:

"You wouldn't know what to do without Ke Ran? Is he your master?"

Several people did not dare to say anything, they shrank their heads and began to search in three directions.

As soon as they dispersed, they saw Ke Ran trotting out of the woods, running straight towards Yuan Che:

"Team leader, I found a tire print on a car."

Yuan Che treated it as if he hadn't seen it, and responded without seeing it: "Where is it?"

Ke Ran, who was ignored, answered cautiously: "About 100 meters away."

Yuan Che still didn't look at him, but seemed to be staring intently at a chicken bone on the ground: "How do you know that tire marks are related to this case?"

Ke Ran's voice became lower and lower, and he pointed in the direction of the corpse: "I just followed the set of footprints in front of the corpse to find it."

Yuan Che pointed to the chicken bone on the ground: "If I follow the chicken bone, can I find the weasel?"

"Ah?" Ke Ran was a little confused, the bones on the ground were concentrated, and there were no chicken bones around.

"Ah what? Take me to have a look. Did you tell the trace inspection department?"

"Tell me." Ke Ran followed Yuan Che, who was walking away quickly, and received Liu Lingling's helpless expression, knowing that his actions yesterday had deeply hurt the man in front of him.It was the man who countered him so naively.

Yuan Che walked 20 meters and stopped suddenly. Looking at a pair of footprints on the ground, the footprints looked very large, about a size 42 shoe. This is the same shoe as the footprint on the open space just now, but it looks newer. The strides of the footprints are smaller than the ones just now. It looks like this person has a pair of big feet but a pair of short legs.

Yuan Che measured the footprints, squatted down again, looked at the depth of the footprints with his head sideways, and found that there was an arc trace behind the footprints:

"Look, how did this trace stay?"

Ke Ran squatted down and looked at the several sets of shoe prints before and after, all of which had traces like this:

"This man's walking habits? Scuffing?"

"Or, he wore a pair of big shoes. You can see that the stride of the footprints should belong to someone with short legs, but the size of these shoes is very big. What does that mean?"

Ke Ran suddenly realized, he hurriedly ran back to the open space just now, turned around in the open space and then ran back:

"There are many footprints of these shoes in the open space, but the footprints are very neat, without drag marks, and the strides are large. The person wearing the shoes should be a heavy fat person. Similar to this group of footprints only appeared in one place, and then Just walked straight here. Judging by the depth of this group of footprints, the people in these footprints should be very light."

"and then?"

"Then?" Ke Ran stared at the footprints carefully again.

Yuan Che looked at the head below, and really wanted to slap it up, and let him eat a mouthful of mud.But he knew he couldn't be so naive, so he said:

"You said that you saw footprints coming. There were tall weeds in front of the corpse. How did you find the footprints?"

"I saw it through the grass." Ke Ran replied.

Yuan Che snorted, as if he didn't ask the question just now, but suddenly crossed the line:

"At the scene, besides the deceased, there were at least two other people, a man and a woman. Now let's think that this man and a woman are the parents of this child. When the crime happened, the family was together. Why did his parents leave like this without caring about the child? What's more, this track seems to be only a man's track. Where is the woman's track?"

"Could it be a man walking with a woman in his arms?"

"That way the footprints should be deeper than the ones just now."

"That's what women walk with bare feet."

"It just rained a few days ago, the light here is not so strong, and the soil is still a little wet and soft, even if you are barefoot, there should be a mark."

"I just saw that the woman's footprints in the open space were basically around the trace of a bench, as if she hadn't stood up much."

"Wearing such slender high heels, of course you can't stand if you can sit."

"But the shoe prints only come in, not out."

"There is also a possibility that the woman walked first, and the man walked behind. The woman is barefoot, and the man walked by stepping on the woman's footprints."

"But if the crime happened at night, how can we see the footprints on the ground? Why did they do this?"

"Why? This is what you are going to investigate." Yuan Che said as he walked to the side of the rut, and the trace inspection department had just finished taking photos.

"How? What did you find?"

The person from the trace inspection department replied: "We are still investigating around here, and there is no new discovery so far. The rut marks are Toyota off-road models, and the market price is very high."

Yuan Che nodded: "The boy's clothes are also casual clothes of the same brand, which should be thousands of sets. It seems that his family's conditions should be good. Let's see if we can find this car, such a big car, so Obvious clues cannot be wasted."

On the way back to the open space, Yuan Che was still staring at the set of footprints. This set of footprints looked square, and although there were traces on the back of the shoes, each foot seemed to be stepped on seriously.

Yuan Che looked at the clearing and the path repeatedly and said, "Ke Ran, don't you think the ground here is a little different from that of the clearing over there?"

Ke Ran followed Yuan Che obediently and was beaten up twice by Yuan Che, so now he dare not say a word.Hearing Yuan Che's question, he hurriedly checked carefully:

"It seems that the ground here is very flat."

"Yes, the ground that has just rained has puddles and puddles, and the ground must be uneven. But this section of the road seems to be too smooth."

"Is there someone who deliberately removed the footprints on the ground, leaving only one footprint, so that they can hide their whereabouts?"

"But he still walked towards the direction of the car. If you really want to hide it, why not be thorough, so that we can't find the car, so we won't associate the car's tire prints with this place?"

Ke Ran frowned and shook his head puzzled.

Yuan Che squatted on the ground and watched for a while, Gu Huayu and the others came back from the forest:

"Boss, we looked for about [-] meters, but we didn't find anything. I heard you said the car just now. Did they come by car? Will they drive away?"

Yuan Che stroked his chin with his fingers and said:

"Driving is driving, but I don't know who is driving the car. If it is a family, why leave a child. If it is not a family, who are those two people?"

"Boss, could it be kidnapping? The kidnapper took the money and tore up the ticket? Otherwise, why didn't he just call for help?"

Yuan Che thought: "If it's just to tear up the ticket, it would be fine to eliminate the traces, but the people who leave here seem to be deliberately hiding their whereabouts, but they seem to leave a set of shoe prints on purpose. What is the purpose?"

Ke Ran naturally followed his words and said:

"If the boy came by car, why didn't he climb towards the direction of the car when he was dying? Instead, he climbed towards the weeds?"

Liu Hecheng said:

"Is it dark and looking in the wrong direction?"

"The bonfire was extinguished intentionally, which means that a person with the ability to extinguish the fire, so when the boy died, the place should have been illuminated."

Ke Ran walked in front of the corpse that had been removed, stood in the grass just now, stared at the outline of the corpse drawn on the ground, his eyes were blank, and he said in a gloomy voice:

"I'm waiting for him to die!"
