Chapter 56 The police officers did not dare to go to the scene.
After inspecting the scene, Feng Charlie led his men to the workplace of the victim He Ziqian.
He works nearby as an employee at a snack shop.
Because it's relatively close and I knew the arcade had just opened and was offering a 20% discount on purchases over a certain amount, I brought my wife over to play.
Who knew that this would cost him his life.
Lin Meiqi followed He Wanyi back to the serious crime team first, and Feng Charlie further investigated the people around the victim.
After further autopsy, it was confirmed that the final wound location was indeed in the carotid artery, which was also consistent with the amount of blood sprayed. After the results came out, Lin Meiqi stayed in the forensic room, waiting for Feng Charlie to come back and inform him of the final situation.
Liang Yifeng took back the surveillance footage, and several technical investigators were so moved that their eyes became sore.
We followed several surveillance routes to check the appearance trajectory of the big stuffed bear, hoping to capture the murderer's appearance before he went in.
However, when entering the mall, the big bear plush coat had already been covered on the person, completely obscuring his face, making it impossible to tell who had done it. Then we can only look at the route he took when he left.
Finally, following the tracks of several cameras, we found the big bear quickly fleeing down the farthest staircase on the fifth floor.
After leaving the mall, turn right onto the path.
Liang Yifeng made a prompt decision: "Find the surveillance cameras of the nearby stores to find out where this person disappeared from!"
Everyone got busy.
After Lin Meiqi finished her work and had some free time, she took a nap on the folding bed in the forensic room at noon.
It was late in the afternoon when Feng Charlie and Liang Yifeng came back together.
It turned out that he also went to the place where the surveillance last disappeared - the riverside to look for the murderer's trace, and found a huge plush doll shell at that location.
The thing was thrown on the desk of the serious crime team.
Seeing Lin Meiqi coming, Feng Charlie said, "The murderer wore this coat. Could there be any skin dandruff left inside?"
"Theoretically speaking, it is possible, unless the murderer only shows a pair of eyes in there and covers himself tightly. There should be some flaws!"
"Okay, what we saw on the surveillance camera was that this person took off his clothes at the riverside, jumped off the river bank, and ran away along the lower part of the river bank. That place happened to be a blind spot. The person must have inspected it in advance, so he avoided the surveillance cameras and only left this coat."
Lin Meiqi felt a little strange: "Since we are already at the river, why don't you throw the coat into the river?"
"I've thought about this question as well. Throwing it into the river would destroy some of the remaining traces, unless the murderer is very confident that there are no traces left here."
Lin Meiqi put on gloves and took the huge stuffed doll coat to the forensic room, hoping to find useful evidence.
A day later, the data of several items tested by Lin Meiqi came out.
She summarized it and reported to Charlie Feng: "So far, there are four people with subcutaneous marks."
"so much?"
"I think it should be the three part-time employees who left their own dandruff. They shared the same big bear coat. So the question is, who is this fourth trace? I searched in the existing fingerprint database and found no trace. Maybe we still need to lock the suspects in a certain range before we can collect their fingerprints."
Lin Meiqi asked Feng Charlie, "What about the situation of the employees of the snack shop you asked about?"
"The victim, He Ziqian, had worked at the snack shop for two years and had done a good job. His bonus had never been deducted. His family was harmonious and there were no internal conflicts. He was a very nice person and never quarreled with customers. The bosses all paid on time and there were no conflicts between the bosses. It was hard to imagine that he would offend anyone. People around him didn't know that anyone wanted to kill him. Even his wife said that the victim would go home on time after get off work and would bring her all the new and best-selling snacks from the snack shop."
"He is a good husband! There is no way to find out his motive." Liang Yifeng sighed.
"But we also have a fingerprint database." Lin Meiqi suddenly said.
"What library?"
"We have a fingerprint database for forensic practitioners. Sometimes we have to avoid accidentally leaving one's own fingerprints at the scene, so we usually exclude the forensic doctor's own fingerprints. Sergeant, do you have the password? I want to know about the forensic fingerprint databases in other districts."
"You suspect a medical examiner?"
"It's just my intuition. I think with such professional abilities, forensics is possible."
“Why not a surgeon?”
"The techniques are different. Surgeons are more careful and cautious when cutting the patient's skin. After all, the patient is alive, and they also need to pay attention to the beauty of the cut, so they develop certain cutting habits, which are difficult to change easily. Forensic doctors are different, and the inclination of the blade is also different."
"I understand. I'll get you the fingerprint database of the forensic doctors in other districts."
Soon, Feng Charlie asked for the password of the fingerprint library. After telling Lin Meiqi, Lin Meiqi entered the fourth extra fingerprint into the library.
After half a day, the result surprised her.
In order to confirm that the result was correct, Lin Meiqi took the time to re-extract and input her fingerprint. After going through the process again, she saw the same result.
She hesitated for a moment, somewhat incredulous, but still took out the result and placed it in front of Feng Charlie.
"This is a trainee medical examiner."
“Can an intern do this?”
"Of course. As long as you have taken practical classes with a forensic doctor, you will know the basics of anatomy. In other words, it is not too difficult for him to reach this state after school... However, I know this person."
"Do you know him?"
"Huo Jianshen, he is an intern forensic doctor in the New Territories North Serious Crime Unit. I recommended him."
"Where did you work before? Could he be a student at the Police Academy?"
Lin Meiqi nodded: "Last time in class, Huo Jianshen fainted due to hypoglycemia. When I asked him, I found out that his family was relatively poor and he saved money for food, which resulted in him not having time to eat breakfast that day. He also had a casual lunch at noon, and then fainted due to hypoglycemia. Seeing this situation, I introduced him to the internship forensic doctor position. It happened that they were recruiting people there, and they were originally looking for people from the Police Academy, so I made a recommendation. Being an intern forensic doctor can earn more than 1,000 Hong Kong dollars a month, which can at least relieve his pressure and provide him with more possibilities for future work. His major is not forensic medicine, but after the internship, he has only two paths to choose in the future. It’s just that I really didn’t expect that his fingerprints would appear in this case. But I can’t think of why he did such a thing."
"Have you had much contact with Huo Jianshen?"
"He was a student who joined later and attended my class only five times. Later, he successfully entered the New Territories North Serious Crime Unit for internship and attended fewer classes. However, he did not elect to take my class, he just came to audit, so I supported him and focused on work. So he participated in his internship during my class time in the evening, staying with his current forensic teacher in the Serious Crime Unit."
"Now that we have Huo Jianshen's fingerprints, we have to find him. This guy has a method of committing crimes. The murder weapon, the knife, was left at the scene. If he has a motive, then it's a done deal."
Lin Meiqi still found it hard to believe. She couldn't imagine how Huo Jianshen, who wanted to study hard to change his destiny, could ruin his life like this?
So she said to Charlie Feng, "You're going to find Huo Jianshen? I'll go with you. After all, he's his teacher, maybe he has something to say to me."
Coincidentally, on the day the murder in the game hall took place, Huo Jianshen actually took a leave of absence. Instead of being in the New Territories North Serious Crime Unit, he made the excuse that he had something to do and went home.
His house is in a small, crowded room, and it is obvious that the living conditions are very poor.
Feng Charlie took Lin Meiqi and the others upstairs, found the room, and opened the door. Someone was lying inside, looking drowsy, and they had forgotten to lock the door.
He looked like he had drunk some wine, his cheeks were red, he stood up from the bed and saw Lin Meiqi: "Teacher, why are you here?"
Lin Meiqi took two steps forward and asked him, "Were you at the Dongxi Road Mall the day before yesterday?"
Huo Jianshen was confused and shook his head.
"No!"
"Then where did you go? Didn't you say you were sick and asked to stay home that day? You looked like you drank so much. How could you drink when you were sick?"
"Oh, I didn't go anywhere the day before yesterday. I just lay at home."
"Do you know about the new arcade?"
"What arcade? I've never been to a place like that, and I can't afford to go there, teacher."
"Are there any eyewitnesses who can prove where you were the day before yesterday?"
"I...I took a leave and came back. No one can prove it."
Huo Jianshen hesitated, obviously hiding something from her.
Lin Meiqi was very disappointed: "If you insist on not telling me, you will be suspected of murder, understand? The teacher wants to believe you, but your DNA was found in the murder doll, how do you explain it?"
"What?"
Huo Jianshen was half awakened by fright, his eyes wide open, as if he had heard wrongly, "Murder? How could I kill someone? Teacher, I am an intern forensic doctor. I am here to solve the case and find the murderer. I can't do such a thing by myself."
"Then tell me, who did you meet and what did you do that day?"
"I, I...can't say."
Lin Meiqi shook her head: "I don't care what your difficulties are. Think it through and tell me as soon as possible. Maybe you are being used by someone, you know?"
Huo Jianshen was still a little confused, it seemed that he had drunk several bottles of wine.
He hesitated for a while and said, "Teacher, please give me some time. My mind is so confused now."
"good."
Lin Meiqi took Feng Charlie downstairs.
Feng Charlie asked her: "Do you really believe that this matter has nothing to do with him?"
"I'm not sure, but there are indeed many doubts in these cases. If we arrest him now, he won't be able to say anything. You've seen Huo Jianshen's condition. Give him some time to wake up. When we find solid evidence, I will never protect him."
"What you find strange is that someone deliberately left Huo Jianshen's fingerprints in the doll, right?"
"Yes, it should be someone who is very close to Huo Jianshen and can get his fingerprints. But I haven't figured out what kind of person could be protected by Huo Jianshen."
The two returned to the serious crime team. As soon as they entered the office, they saw Liang Yifeng jumped up: "You two are finally back!"
"What happened?"
"Do you know about the opening of a real estate project on Wuyuan Avenue?"
"Yes, it is said to be the most expensive property around here."
"It was very lively on the opening day today. There was a human-shaped doll wearing a big yellow dog's coat at the door. As a result, the doll killed someone again. The vice president of the real estate company was bled again! It happened quite suddenly. It happened at the door after most people rushed into the event site. So there was a witness at the time, but he was not caught in time. That person is quite strong."
"When did it happen?"
"Two hours ago, it happened in the New Territories North instead of West Kowloon, so it took a little time to transfer the case."
Feng Charlie and Lin Meiqi looked at each other.
This is bad, the North New Territories is exactly where they just came from.
If it was Huo Jianshen, two hours ago, he would have had enough time to finish what he had just done and then return to his rented house, and then meet Feng Charlie and the others.
On the day of the first case, he took a day off and no one confirmed where he was.
More importantly, he has good physical strength. Physical fitness training is standard for police academies, so of course no one can catch him.
"The more he listens, the more it sounds like him! Let's go to the scene and see what's going on."
Lin Meiqi took the autopsy box and went to the Northern New Territories with Feng Charlie.
Soon, they saw the scene. The ground was a mess and bright red blood was flowing in the middle of the road. There was so much blood and water released that it was simply horrible to watch.
Some police officers didn't dare to look at the scene, turned their heads away, and couldn't help but vomit.
Because the difference between being stabbed to death normally and this scene is very huge. It is just like when slaughtered pigs or cows enter the slaughterhouse, with blood all over the ground, but when it comes to humans, it feels more tragic.
Lin Meiqi remained calm, put on shoe covers, walked past the bloodstains, walked forward, squatted down, and began a preliminary examination.
As expected, three major arteries were cut cleanly and neatly, and the aorta above the neck was cut open. This cut killed the person instantly.
