Wrongful Death Criminal Investigation

Ming Tang quickly walked up to the second floor where the body was found, looking at the huge sculpture, he felt a little distressed for Tang Yan.

"What are you going to do?" Ming Tang asked.

Tang Yan sighed, "What else can I do? Move back to the bureau first and then find a way. Violent demolition will definitely cause damage to the corpse."

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. Tang Yan couldn't help cursing, "If Jiang Han sees all these things, he will definitely be pissed off."

Mingtang was also quite helpless about this, he didn't know how to comfort this colleague who had already exploded in front of him, he could only say that they had all worked hard.

Tang Yan said, "To be honest, if it wasn't for Shao Yang, no one would have discovered that there was a corpse hidden in this sculpture in a short time."

Lu Changfeng walked up to Mingtang's side and bumped Mingtang's arm, "How do you think Qiu Shaoyang found out that there was something wrong with this sculpture?"

Mingtang is also very curious about this, if he is not 100% sure that there is a corpse hidden here, he can't see what's wrong with this sculpture.

"Do you think he is the contemporary Conan? He will die wherever he goes." Lu Changfeng said half-jokingly.

Mingtang coughed softly, signaling to Lu Changfeng not to forget that Tang Yan was still standing on the side, it is not good to chew other people's tongue in front of them.

"Then what... I was just joking." Lu Changfeng touched his nose, looking at Tang Yan's reaction with some embarrassment.

Tang Yan ignored Lu Changfeng, who was thinking about how to transport this behemoth back to the Municipal Bureau to Jiang Han.

Seeing that Tang Yan didn't say anything, Lu Changfeng walked away tactfully, lest Tang Yan settle accounts with him after the fall.

There were a total of eight original staff in the exhibition hall. In addition to the outsourced ribbon-cutting team that was responsible for the operation, there were also two cleaners, an assistant and a broker.There are also 31 people from Qiu Shaoyang who were invited to participate in the opening ceremony today and entered the exhibition hall ahead of schedule.

It was the first time for Qiu Shaoyang and others to enter the exhibition hall today. Except for Qiu Shaoyang who found the body, they all simply made a note to restore what happened today.

It took about two hours for them to check all the sculptures on the site, but they did not find the head of the deceased, so they left the police in charge of taking notes, and the rest of them withdrew.

Qiu Shaoyang did not leave after finishing the notes, but stayed in the car and waited for Mingtang.Seeing Ming Tang now, he quickly got out of the car and approached him, "Captain Ming."

Mingtang was talking to Lu Changfeng, when he saw Qiu Shaoyang approaching, he stopped talking and looked at him, his eyes fell on him and silently asked him what's the matter.

Qiu Shaoyang said: "Have you confirmed the identity of the deceased?"

"Sorry, Mr. Qiu, we have a rule not to disclose any information about the case."

Qiu Shaoyang's question was blocked by Mingtang's words, but he used to be a policeman and knew discipline, so he couldn't embarrass Mingtang at this time, so he changed the question, "Then, is my friend's disappearance your responsibility?"

Without confirming that the corpse inside the sculpture belongs to Li Jinwei himself, Li Jinwei's situation can only be investigated as missing.

"Of course." Mingtang nodded, but at this moment Mingtang saw the light flashing in Qiu Shaoyang's eyes, and instinctively told him that Qiu Shaoyang was digging a hole for him.

"That's good." Qiu Shaoyang looked at Mingtang with eyes full of calculations, "Then when are you going to go to my friend's house or studio to investigate the situation? This is not a violation of the regulations, after all, I am Out of concern for missing friends."

Ming Tang felt his chest stagnate, he really couldn't refute Qiu Shaoyang's words, "Go now."

"I want to be with you." Qiu Shaoyang's tone was very firm, "This should not violate your regulations."

Ming Tang's chest stagnated again, and he said word by word: "Of course."

Lu Changfeng and Mingtang acted separately. Lu Changfeng went to Li Jinwei's house, while Mingtang went to the studio. The others were sent back to the police station.

Seeing the black Audi following them, Ming Tang only frowned.

"Boss." Chen Yanjia felt that their boss was in a bad mood today and was a little worried.

"what happened?"

"Are you okay?" Chen Yanjia looked at Mingtang's serious expression, and then looked at the black Audi that had been sticking to them from the rearview mirror.

"It's okay." Mingtang just didn't expect Qiu Shaoyang to be so difficult, so he took advantage of the loophole with a few words, "Have you checked Li Jinwei's information?"

Chen Yanjia nodded, and reported the information she collected to Mingtang, "Li Jinwei is 31 years old, from this city, unmarried, his mother is the vice president of the hospital, and his father is a teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts of Spring City University. It's free creation."

"He's quite famous." Chen Yanjia flipped through Li Jinwei's Weibo, which had more than two million followers. "The last Weibo post was posted at noon five days ago. Judging from the Weibo content, he is very famous. Looking forward to the opening of the showroom.”

"Of course I look forward to it."

A hoarse voice sounded from behind the two, and the source of the voice was Li Jinwei's manager.

"I have known him for many years. In the early years, I also met him when I was building an exhibition hall for others. He is very talented in sculpture. Many big names in the industry are full of praise for him. The works in this exhibition hall , are all his works in the past ten years, and he has devoted half his life to them."

"It can be seen." Chen Yanjia said.Almost all of Li Jinwei's microblogs are related to sculptures. He really loves sculptures.

The manager wiped his face dejectedly, "Could that body be his?"

Chen Yanjia shook her head, "Until the DNA test report comes out, none of us can confirm whether Li Jinwei was killed or has been killed."

The agent stopped talking, just looked out the window silently.

But they all had a hunch that the corpse should be Li Jinwei himself.

Li Jinwei's studio is in an office building, and the office building has not been rented out yet, so it is relatively deserted.

When Mingtang and the others arrived, several cars were parked under the office building, including a police car.They walked quickly into the door, Mingtang communicated with the police on the scene, entered the elevator and went straight to the studio.

Due to the special nature of the industry, Li Jinwei directly rented half a floor. As soon as he got off the elevator, he could see Li Jinwei's studio. At this time, there were several people standing in the studio.

There are the police, and there are others.

Seeing them arriving, those people looked at them as if they had a tacit understanding.

One of the policemen greeted Mingtang, "Ming team."

Mingtang walked over quickly and asked, "Have you found anything unusual?"

The policeman shook his head, "No abnormality was found."

"Shaoyang..." Wanzai looked at Qiu Shaoyang hesitantly.

Qiu Shaoyang understood what he was going to say, passed Ming Tang and the policeman he was talking to, walked to Wan Chai and patted him, but he couldn't say words like "It's okay" to comfort people.

He knew very well that the corpse in the sculpture was probably Li Jinwei.

Wan Chai opened his mouth with red eyes, but he didn't say anything after all.

Qiu Shaoyang walked into the studio. This was his first visit to Li Jinwei's studio, so he didn't know the internal structure.

Several rooms are partitioned by transparent glass. One room is filled with various sculptures. It seems that it should be used as a warehouse. The room further ahead should be Li Jinwei’s usual workshop. There is a waterproof cloth on the floor, and there are many tools and unfinished works inside.The room on the other side is divided into three rooms, one is the reception room, the other is the office, and the other is filled with daily necessities. Li Jinwei should live in this reception room when he is not home.

Qiu Shaoyang walked into the lounge, which was blocked by curtains. The inside was very simple, with a bed, a separate bathroom, and a small desk with a computer on it, and a group photo of the family next to the computer. , is Li Jinwei's graduation photo of the year he graduated from university.

It's just that he may never see this person again.

Mingtang walked in and looked at Qiu Shaoyang sitting on the bed, at this moment he didn't know whether to comfort him or what to do.

"You also have a hunch that the person in the sculpture is Li Jinwei, right?"

Mingtang didn't answer.

For Qiu Shaoyang, silent silence represented an affirmative answer.

Qiu Shaoyang put the photo frame back on the table and walked out of the lounge.

Although they all knew that Li Jinwei was probably dead, but there was no DNA data to prove that they could only take a look at it now.

Qiu Shaoyang stood outside Li Jinwei's work room, not intending to go in, and said, "Captain Ming, after the identity of the deceased is confirmed, please let me know if it is Li Jinwei."

Ming Tang hummed, agreeing.

Qiu Shaoyang didn't stay any longer, and walked straight out. When he reached the door, Qiu Shaoyang looked back again, and there was a lot in this look.

Ming Tang and the others didn't stay any longer, and went straight home.

After returning to the City Bureau, Ming Tang went straight to the forensic room, and saw that the forensic doctors were bitter and bitter, and the sculpture was still lying on the dissecting table.

"Is it difficult to deal with?" Ming Tang asked.

Jiang Han nodded, took a sip from the coffee cup that was set aside and said, "The situation is quite complicated,"

Putting down the coffee cup, Jiang Han waved at him, walked to the head of the sculpture, and motioned him to look.

The head has been disassembled, they drilled a hole in the head, a light shines in from here, and can see a little bit of what's going on inside, Ming Tang smells a stench, but it's not the usual corpse smell they smell, "how so?"

Jiang Han said: "This sculpture was formed after being heated at high temperature, so can you understand what I mean?"

Mingtang stayed for two seconds before digesting the content, "You mean this corpse is cooked? It's not that the corpse stinks, but it's rotten?"

After he said it, Ming Tang felt a thunderbolt falling from the sky, splitting him until he was scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, no wonder these well-informed forensic doctors would have this expression at this time.

Ming Tang only felt his stomach churning, and he probably won't want to eat meat again for a long time.

Compared to this, he is still willing to pick up corpses.

After so many years of criminal investigation, he was the first to see a roasted corpse...

Jiang Han was obviously much calmer in comparison. What made him frown was that most of the flesh of the corpse was glued to the inside of the sculpture. If they forcibly removed the outer shell, the scene at that time would have Thriller.

It is likely to see a roasted body with a large area of ​​skin and flesh separated from the upper and lower parts of the body.

Based on the current level, it is impossible to ensure the integrity of the body surface, let alone try to find any traces or evidence from the body surface.

"Can DNA still do it?"

Jiang Han nodded, "I'm already doing it, and the results will probably appear soon."

"Then I'll go back to the office first." Mingtang now feels like he's about to vomit whenever he smells this smell.

Jiang Han didn't force him to stay, not to mention that Tang couldn't stand it, and all the forensic doctors endured it so that they didn't vomit.
