Wrongful Death Criminal Investigation

The test report came out at noon, confirming that the deceased was indeed Li Jinwei.

The forensic doctors finally chose violent demolition, and then performed an autopsy, confirming that the time of death was on Wednesday night and the cause of death was asphyxiation.Due to the lack of parts above the shoulders, it is impossible to judge the specific method of death from the state of the neck. The reason for the murderer's doing so is probably to cover up the modus operandi, thus misleading the police's judgment.

The cut surface of the deceased's neck was flat, and it was preliminarily inferred that it should be something like a chainsaw, which directly sawed off the deceased's head shoulder-to-shoulder.

Knowing the cause of death and the tools to dissect the body greatly reduces the difficulty of solving the case.

Ming Tang immediately convened a meeting of everyone in the Serious Crime Brigade.

After the forensic doctor issued the autopsy report, they actually had nothing to do. Jiang Han didn't stay for the meeting when he had class in the afternoon.

Tang Yan had to participate. After finishing the trace inspection early in the morning, there were still various reports waiting for him to write when he returned to the Municipal Bureau. He was so busy that he sat in the conference room and yawned one after another, looking at Ming Tang with resentment. , "Last night, I followed the first team out of the scene. When I came back, it was three o'clock in the morning. After I came back, I started to rush to the county for the trace inspection report. After finishing it, I was able to leave work. I received it before I walked out of the gate of the Municipal Bureau. Shaoyang's phone call, followed by another scene, I am really sleepy now."

Ming Tang could only hand him a cup of strong coffee.

Tang Yan sighed helplessly, "How can you find a girlfriend in such a situation?"

Lu Changfeng pretended to be surprised and said: "You still want to find a girlfriend! Haven't you seen the reality clearly? The only people in our line of work are bachelors. Old Tang, I advise you to give up this unrealistic idea as soon as possible. .”

"Get out of here." Tang Yan picked up the things on the table and threw them over.

Lu Changfeng didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said, "Stay on call all day, work overtime whenever there is a case, and take time to rest and prepare for the next case when there is no case. Do you still want to find a girlfriend with this kind of work intensity? Let me tell you this." It's impossible, no girl is willing to find a husband who is away from home 24 hours a day."

Chen Yanjia lowered her head and whispered, "Captain Lu, it's your own reason for not looking for a girlfriend, okay, don't let your career take the blame for you, but if you post a marriage advertisement, any girl who wants to marry you can get it from us Line up at the gate of the Municipal Bureau to the street.”

"That's right." Xiao Ding also helped Chen Yanjia speak, "Master, don't label us criminal police for your own reasons."

Lu Changfeng gave Xiao Ding a hard look, "You're a picky eater, if you don't help me, you'll turn your elbows out!"

Xiao Ding curled his lips, and continued to output with Lu Changfeng's knife, "It's your own reason. There are so many police officers in our bureau, and there are also many police officers in other bureaus. The captain of the banquet detachment wants to introduce someone to you. You didn't want it yourself. If I had your looks, I guess my son could be called Dad now."

"Comrade Xiaoding, your attitude is not correct enough, patriarchal thinking is very serious!"

Xiao Ding: "..."

Ming Tang engraved twice, seeing that the atmosphere was active enough and everyone was not so dead, he said: "Just have a small meeting and analyze the current situation."

With the previous gag, everyone's condition has improved a lot.

"Then I'll go first." Lanning said proactively.

Mingtang nodded in agreement.

It has been three months since Lan Ning was transferred to the City Bureau. His adaptability is very strong, and he has completely adapted to the environment in the team. Now he can basically shoulder important burdens alone, and Mingtang will let him go for some not-so-difficult cases. To complete it independently is much more stable than Xiaoding.

But it's no wonder Xiaoding, he is just an intern after all.

Lan Ning was different, Mingtang trained him as his successor.

Lan Ning naturally didn't know Mingtang's thoughts, "I found the porter who was in charge of moving the sculpture at the time and learned that the sculpture was moved here yesterday afternoon. We checked the surveillance on the spot and confirmed what the porter said."

"Have you investigated why this sculpture didn't appear in the album?" Lu Changfeng recalled this doubt.

Lan Ning nodded at him, "I asked the agent, but the agent said that the sculpture at this location was not included in the album, because Li Jinwei told him that this sculpture was the finale. The sculpture Li Jinwei was talking about is obviously not the sculpture we see now .”

"Have you found anything else?"

Lan Ning continued: "The exhibition hall was set up a week ago. The only vacant space is the place where the corpse sculpture is hidden. According to Li Jinwei's assistant Chen Yimin, he received a text message yesterday afternoon, and it was Li Jinwei who informed him His sculpture has already been finished, and he asked him to arrange someone to move it to the exhibition hall, so Chen Yimin contacted the previous workers to move the things to the exhibition hall and cover them with glass frames."

"You mean that Chen Yimin received a text message from Li Jinwei yesterday afternoon?" Mingtang frowned upon hearing this, "It's impossible, Li Jinwei passed away three days ago and died. The person who sent him the text message should be the murderer."

"I think so too." Lan Ning said: "I asked my colleagues in the technical department to locate the location where Li Jinwei's mobile phone signal last appeared, and found it in Li Jinwei's studio, but his mobile phone is not an Android phone, so it is a bit difficult to crack. trouble."

It has only been three and a half hours since receiving the police. Lanning has already grasped so much information, which shows that his ability is extraordinary. It doesn't matter if it can't be broken for a while."

Lan Ning pursed her lips, "That's all the evidence I have."

Lu Changfeng followed Lan Ning's topic and said: "I took people to the deceased's house, and there was nothing abnormal in the house. According to the surveillance records of the community, Li Jinwei has never returned home since he left home on Wednesday morning. The deceased's friend We have also inquired, and have not contacted them before and after the disappearance."

Mingtang said: "Through the investigation, I found out that there was a car under the name of the deceased. I have already asked someone to investigate the driving recorder. I have not used this car since I arrived at the studio on Wednesday. And the monitoring in the office building rented by Li Jinwei is broken. There has been no maintenance for a small week, and it is impossible to provide us with corresponding information."

"The murderer killed the victim and dismembered the body, and sealed the body below the head in the sculpture. I think there is a high possibility that Li Jinwei's studio is the scene of the first crime." Ming Tang looked at Tang Yan and said: "Thank you, after the meeting, take your colleagues from the forensic department to Li Jinwei's studio for an inspection."

Tang Yan made an OK gesture.

Mingtang continued: "The next main direction of our investigation is to see who among the people the deceased knew had the ability to make sculptures."

Speaking of making sculptures, Tang Yan thought of one thing, "This murderer is probably a fan of Li Jinwei. I found that his style is very similar to Li Jinwei's. It can be said that he is imitating Li Jinwei's creative style. I will find someone who is familiar with sculpture. Industry insiders have consulted, and the murderer's level of making sculptures is not low, although he can't compare with Li Jinwei."

"Could it be Li Jinwei's colleague, who was jealous of his excellence and became murderous, so he killed Li Jinwei and made it into a sculpture and put it in his exhibition hall."

"It's very likely."

Seeing that the discussion was almost over, Ming Tang said: "Then go about your own business, Tang Yan, please stay for a while and I have something to ask you."

The others dispersed, and Tang Yan stayed at the end, staring at Ming Tang without saying a word, as if you could ask whatever you want.

Mingtang didn't try to twitch with him either, "Qiu Shaoyang said that if we confirm the identity of the deceased as Li Jinwei, we should inform him that you and him are good friends, so please pass this news on to him."

Tang Yan stopped doing it as soon as he heard it, "You don't want to talk about this kind of thing, so I can just talk about it? You are very quick to throw the blame away!" Too many people around Qiu Shaoyang have passed away, and the word death is in their hands. It's like a taboo, and every time he mentions it, it's equivalent to tearing open Qiu Shaoyang's healed wound again. How can he tell Qiu Shaoyang about this? "He didn't tell me this. Since he told you, of course you should inform him."

Mingtang rubbed his nose, feeling a little embarrassed, "You are friends after all, so it's more effective to comfort you."

"It is precisely because he and I are good friends that I can't say it." Tang Yan said: "I can't help you with this. If you have nothing else, I will first arrange to go to Li Jinwei's studio for an on-site survey in the afternoon. gone."

Let's talk, Tang Yan stood up neatly, and left quickly without giving Mingtang a chance to speak again.

Mingtang's mobile phone was in his hand at this moment, but he felt that what he was holding was not a mobile phone, but a heavy brick.

The phone was turned on and off many times, but he still didn't dare to click on the communication interface.

Nowadays, people rarely read text messages, and telling the other party the news of the death of their friend in a text message is somewhat disrespectful, whether it is the dead person or Qiu Shaoyang.

But Mingtang didn't know how he would talk to Mingtang after he made this call. If the person waiting for him to inform him of his death was a stranger he didn't know, Mingtang wouldn't feel too much pressure, but this person was Qiu Shaoyang.

Qiu Shaoyang just lost a cousin two months ago, and he was investigated as a criminal suspect at that time.Now he lost his friend, but he still found the body and was the whistleblower in the case.

Qiu Shaoyang seems to have the fate of the lone star of the evil spirit. The only one in his family who died was his grandfather, and now his friend has passed away.

No matter what, Mingtang couldn't say this to Qiu Shaoyang.

In his mind, he would always think of the words that Qiu Shaoyang who had already left suddenly turned around and said to him in the corridor of Li Jinwei's studio.

In fact, he stubbornly held out a glimmer of hope that the corpse in the sculpture was not his friend.

Now, this hope is shattered, but he still wants to be the one who destroys his hope.

How could the world be so fucked up?
