Medical examiner An closed the car door, blocking the two reporters' prying eyes, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, the case is still under investigation, and I can't tell you anything for now. Please go back."

The two obviously ignored his words.

One asked: "Excuse me, who is the deceased, and have you found the source of the body?"

The other asked: "Excuse me, how many pieces has the body been broken into? Some people said it was packed in four or five bags. Is it divided into hundreds of pieces?"

Medical examiner An said: "I'm sorry, I'm a medical examiner. Before the case is solved, I have no right to disclose any case-related information. Please go back. Thank you for your hard work."

Tan Yi's police car arrived, and he and Luo Xiaoou got out of the car together.

The two reporters immediately abandoned Medical examiner An and rushed towards them.

"Captain Tan, do you have any clues?"

"When can the case be solved?" "

I heard that a dismemberment case will lose a lot of clues and it will be very difficult, is that right?" "There have been many major cases recently. How does the Municipal Bureau explain this?" Tan Yi said, "Please go back. I have nothing to tell you now." Having said this, he glanced back and saw that Xie Qing and Forensic Doctor Ding were almost at the door with the stretcher, so he stopped the two reporters and said, "You two, I know it's hard for reporters to report news, but it's even harder for us police officers. Let's understand each other. When we can make the announcement, we will naturally announce it to the public." The two reporters watched the stretcher being carried in, but they didn't take a single photo, and their tone couldn't help but become bad. "That's a nice thing to say. Since you came to Anhai, there have been major cases all the time." "Yes, Captain Tan, do you have any explanation for this?" "Excuse me." Tan Yi looked down at the two of them for a while, then turned and left. Luo Xiaoou said, "You two, when and what criminals commit crimes is not something we police can decide. You are being unfair to us. Sorry, excuse me." The two reporters were speechless for a moment and could only watch the two of them leave. Tan Yi entered the autopsy room and asked, "What happened?" Forensic doctor An said, "Captain Tan, the deceased was strangled to death with a nylon rope. The body is intact and no tissue is missing." Xie Qing cut open the stomach, opened it and smelled it, "The deceased had drunk alcohol before his death, and there was a lot of stomach content. He was killed shortly after eating." Tan Yi said, "He drank alcohol, and wanted to start a business but had no money. He was unhappy and might have had an argument with someone on the road." Luo Xiaoou said, "That's indeed a possibility." Xie Qing scooped out a spoonful of stomach contents, "I think he may have had a friction with a car. After the argument, the other party took advantage of his unpreparedness to strangle his neck and took him to the car. , and took him back to be dismembered. " Forensic Doctor An said, "Hmm," In this way, the abrasions on the back of his calf can be explained. " Luo Xiaoou said, "That makes sense, but the abrasions on the back of his calf could have been caused by a door sill or something else. It's too early to draw a conclusion now." Tan Yi glanced at Xie Qing, "Don't rush to draw a conclusion. Are there any other discoveries?" Forensic Doctor Ding said, "That's these old nitrogen fertilizer bags. It can be assumed that the murderer has land at home." Luo Xiaoou said, "This kind of bag is very common. Many people use it to carry various sundries when moving." Although he said it very objectively, Xie Qing was still angry. She said, "Judging from the locations where the bodies were dumped, Section Chief Cao could not have completed the dismemberment and disposal in such a short time." Tan Yi retorted, "We have not yet found any eyewitnesses to prove Section Chief Cao's whereabouts that night. In addition, it is logical to kill the person first, hide the body, and then dissect and dump the body." Xie Qing said, "Except for fertilizer, there are no valuable attachments on the body, which shows that the dismemberment area was very clean. My master is very poor and does not have such an independent space to do such an operation." Tan Yi hummed, "This is right for Cao. Section Chief, that's very helpful. Very good, anything else?" Xie Qing said, "If it wasn't done by my master, we have to find farmers with old nitrogen fertilizer bags. Nitrogen fertilizer is usually applied in corn fields, and there is land near the Zheng family. Can we infer that the murderer may live near the Zheng family?" Luo Xiaoou said, "The murderer is a surgeon or a forensic doctor. Even if there are such talents in the countryside, they would not dare to kill so blatantly." Xie Qing said, "By the same token, why did my master kill so blatantly?" Luo Xiaoou smiled, "Yes, that makes sense." ... Several people re-examined the corpse from head to toe, and came to the same conclusions, without any new discoveries. Xie Qing sewed the body together, making it a complete person, and sent it to the freezer with forensic doctor Ding. Before pushing it back into the freezer, Xie Qing said, "I hope you will be a good person in your next life. Rest in peace." Forensic doctor Ding smiled, "The little girl is quite sentimental." Xie Qing sighed, "After all, she is related to my master, and I always feel upset." - Although she knew that Zheng Wenkai's death was the murderer's fault, she still felt a little guilty about the house. A group of people went to the police station for a meeting. As soon as the police car entered the yard, they heard a burst of crying. "Wen Kai, you died tragically!" "Cao Haisheng, you must die a miserable death." "Officers, you have to take care of Wen Kai!" ... Xie Qing frowned, pulled out a fisherman's hat from her bag and put it on. Even if she didn't say it, Tan Yi understood, and walked in front of her, blocking the others behind him. Just as the few people were about to reach the door, Old Man Zheng spotted them and ran over. Old man Zheng said, "Which police officer is in charge of my son Wen Kai's case? That bastard Cao Haisheng killed my son. You must stand up for my son!" Luo Xiaoou said, "It's hard to say who the murderer is now, but the impact of this case is extremely bad. We must do our best." Old man Zheng shouted, "It was Cao Haisheng who did it. My son forced him to sell the house, so he killed my son. Apart from them, who else would dare to do that?" Luo Xiaoou said patiently, "What, you mean, it's either Cao Haisheng or Cao Haisheng? You only care about Cao Haisheng's life or death, no matter who the real murderer is?"

Old Zheng was stumped by his question, "If it's not him, then who is it?"

Luo Xiaoou said, "We are still investigating, please give us some time."

Old Zheng said, "What if you officials protect each other?"

Tan Yi thought of Cao Haisheng's penniless home, and felt disgusted. He said, "Then you can report it to the higher authorities until Cao Haisheng is arrested."

He was obviously speaking in a sarcastic way.

Old Zheng was not a fool, he could hear Tan Yi's anger, but he didn't say anything wrong, so he could only spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm in hatred.

...

Everyone sat down in the conference room.

Luo Xiaoou said, "Captain Tan, please speak first."

Tan Yi said, "I don't think it was done by Section Chief Cao. First, Section Chief Cao's family is poor and does not have the space to dismember the body. Moreover, there is no suitable means of transportation, and the transportation of the body bag is also a problem. Second, Section Chief Cao's wife is in poor health and his children are all in school. There is no need for him to lose his mind and take risks for a small matter. The above two points are my personal opinions. To confirm, a large number of screenings are needed. "We need to investigate and interview to determine if there are any eyewitnesses who saw Chief Cao on the way from his home to the beach."

Fu Da said, "He stayed at the beach for so long, it is impossible that no one saw him. We just need to be more careful and we will definitely find eyewitnesses."

Trace examiner Deng Wenxiang said, "First, yesterday and today, there were people who chased the sea in that area. Most of the debris found at the beach has been there for some time, so we cannot do further analysis. Secondly, because of the tide, Because of the relationship between the tide and the footprints, I will not say much. Also, considering that the murderer had moved the body parts over a large area, we checked the wheel tracks on the roadside. The result is that the coastline in this area has a nice scenery. The weather has warmed up recently, and many people stopped to enjoy the scenery. There are a lot of wheel tracks. We took pictures of them one by one, but I don’t think they will be of much use. "

An old policeman from the branch said: "I have contacted the Zheng family and found out where Zheng Wenkai left and right from his home. The time of posting was confirmed. He had lunch at 5:30 and went out at around 6:00, which was basically consistent with what Section Chief Cao said. Zheng's family said that Zheng Wenkai had no enemies except Section Chief Cao. Because of borrowing money, Section Chief Cao was beaten by Zheng's family, so Section Chief Cao hated them and cut off their roots in the Zheng family. "

Xie Qing was indignant, but arguing with the case officers would not do any good to Cao Haisheng. She endured it and reorganized her thoughts .

At this time, Li Ke spoke up, "Is it possible that he is an enemy of the Zheng family? The way the Zheng family behaves makes it hard not to doubt their character."

This is powerful.

Fu Da looked at her approvingly.

Luo Xiaoou asked, "What do the three forensic doctors say?"

Forensic Doctor An and Forensic Doctor Ding looked at each other, and Forensic Doctor An spoke, "The deceased died shortly after dinner, around 7 p.m., and was strangled to death with a nylon rope. The rope was consistent with the bag that tied the body..."

He reported everything Xie Qing had said before.

Luo Xiaoou lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and said to Tan Yi, "Based on the clues we have so far, it seems that there is no better way than to conduct a large-scale investigation and visit of two sections of the road."

The two sections of the road, one refers to the usual route taken by Zheng Wenkai, and the other refers to the route Cao Haisheng took to the seaside.

Tan Yi said, "We can also allocate some manpower to investigate the arable land near the seaside and find families who planted corn last year and plan to plant corn this year. If this family has a car and a warehouse, it will be more consistent with the conditions for committing the crime."

Luo Xiaoou said, "Yes, nitrogen fertilizer is an important clue that cannot be ignored."

Forensic Doctor Ding interjected, "Should we go to the hospital to check it out?"

"That's also a direction." Luo Xiaoou flicked the ash, "Captain Tan, what do you think about the next arrangements?"

Tan Yi said, "We are colleagues of Section Chief Cao, so let's avoid suspicion. Let us investigate the nitrogen fertilizer and the hospital."

Luo Xiaoou smiled, "Captain Tan, you worry too much. We not only trust you, but also Section Chief Cao."

Tan Yi said, "It's useless for you to trust them. They also need the trust of their families."

...

After leaving the police station, Xie Qing and Li Ke got into the car of Tan Yi and Fu Da.

Fu Da was the driver. He asked Xie Qing while driving, "Xiao Xie didn't say much today."

Xie Qing said, "My master is a suspect, so I'd better say less."

Fu Da glanced at her in the rearview mirror and said, "You are really patient. Good."

Tan Yi said, "This case is not simple. It looks like it was done by an ordinary farmer, but a professional player showed up in public. It seems that the murderer wanted to cover up the identity of the deceased, but he did it at the first moment. The murderer was recognized at the time. From this point of view, the murderer should not know the deceased, and there is a high possibility of friction on the road. "

Xie Qing said: "If you think about it in a complicated way, it may be that Zheng Wenkai accidentally broke into something. My master said that the Zheng family has no outstanding figures. He often uses my master's name. Suppose he had an argument with someone and brought up my master..."

She didn't finish this sentence, but everyone understood.
