Chapter 423: City-wide Investigation
First, we have to check whether the deceased matches the missing person. If the identity of the deceased is found, we can start checking the people around her.
However, if the identity of the deceased cannot be confirmed and the case has a great impact on the entire city, they may check each house one by one.
But it will take more than a day or two to arrange these things.
Speaking of which, today's criminal investigation methods are really tricky.
There is no DNA testing method. After all, there is only one machine in the country, and it is a national treasure.
That machine would only be used if something extremely important happened to someone.
Besides, if there is no surveillance and no witnesses, and it is a snowy night like this, it will probably be difficult to solve the case.
So there are actually a lot of unsolved cases in this era. It is very easy for a person with high IQ to commit a perfect crime.
"Take us to find Captain Liu, or take us to see the body. I want to confirm whether I know the deceased." Fu Tinghua suddenly said.
The young police officer looked at Fu Tinghua with a little surprise, then remembered that their chief and Captain Liu both favored this person, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.
"The body has been taken to the military hospital for an autopsy. Captain Liu should be there now, right? Doctor Fu, you should know where it is? If not, he should have gone to the police headquarters." asked the young police officer.
Fu Tinghua nodded and replied: "I know."
Of course he knew. He was invited and participated in several autopsies.
However, murders in Wencheng are relatively rare, and the autopsy room in the military hospital is rarely used.
"Come on, follow me." said the young policeman.
On the other side, Mayor Ye Chou was also angry at the police headquarters because another murder had occurred in Wencheng.
He is currently in the probation period, and if such an extremely heinous murder case happens, he will have no chance of getting promoted to Kyoto next year.
And the key point is that this murder happened in the most famous People's Hospital in Wencheng, and it cannot be covered up.
In the conference room of the police station, a group of people were having a meeting to discuss and come up with a plan for this murder case.
Captain Liu was the person in charge of the area near the crime scene, and he was the first to arrive at the crime scene, so naturally he was the first to summarize.
But unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, it was a big one.
Looking at the big guys who appeared on the scene, Captain Liu took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and decided to speak out his thoughts.
This murder case is also an opportunity for him.
If you solve the case, you will be promoted right away.
Now that the country has been pacified, there is no need for people to go out to fight, but if you want to make a contribution, you still have to achieve some results.
Under the mayor's scorching gaze, Captain Liu still expressed his idea, although he knew that his plan would be opposed by many people.
“When we arrived at the scene, the deceased had already stopped breathing.
His body was densely covered with hundreds of knife wounds of varying depths. It was obvious that the murderer had a deep hatred for the victim, otherwise how could he be so cruel to do such a thing?
An autopsy has not yet been performed and it is not known whether she was poisoned or had any other signs.
The preliminary conclusion is that the deceased lost too much blood and was exposed to the cold environment for a long time, eventually dying from hypothermia and blood loss.
However, the most difficult thing now is that, up to now, the true identity of the deceased has not been confirmed, and no one has come forward to report the case.
Not only that, the deceased's face had suffered inhumane destruction, cut into pieces and unrecognizable by the sharp blade, so that it was impossible to obtain effective facial information by taking pictures.
Faced with such a complex situation, the only measure we can take at this stage is to launch large-scale investigations.
If we wait for someone to come and report the case, it would be too time-consuming.
Moreover, the deceased dared to disfigure the person's face, which must have been intentional, or it must have been done by the deceased's loved one, because if he hadn't come to report the case, no one would know that the person was missing.
Therefore, we can only conduct on-site inspections, otherwise we will lose the best period to solve the case.
I now recommend that we conduct household visits, asking each household in detail whether any family members are missing, and carefully recording the key characteristics of these missing persons, such as age, gender, height and weight.
From these places, see if you can screen out identity clues that match the deceased. ”
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, someone inside spoke up.
"It's just an ordinary murder case. A city-wide screening? Are you sure you want to do this?"
"That's right. It's true that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger."
"That's right, Captain Liu is really powerful. He immediately started to investigate the entire city. Why? The police station doesn't need manpower and resources?"
"He's still a human being. He's too young. Just a small murder case scared him."
Captain Liu has achieved some success at a young age, which inevitably makes him the envy of many of his peers.
No one knows what happened this year, but there have been frequent incidents in the area he manages. The police officers from other police stations might be secretly happy about it.
And in this matter, although it was snowing heavily last night, the patrol policeman was guilty of dereliction of duty, so Captain Liu will definitely be punished.
Police chief Song Zhicheng glanced at Mayor Ye Chou, and seeing that he did not say anything to stop the people below from speaking, he knew that he was waiting for him to deal with his own men, so he picked up the notebook on the table and slammed it hard, and the noisy voices below instantly disappeared.
Seeing that the director's expression was not right, everyone subconsciously dared not speak anymore.
I almost forgot that Captain Liu is the director's apprentice, so it's inevitable that the director favors him.
Nowadays, no matter which department of the country is divided into factions, the identity of the police chief is not feared by everyone.
If you are not careful, you might be brought down from power. It is very common.
"Are you done? You guys?" Song Zhicheng asked coldly.
No one dared to offend him at the moment. The mayor was still there, and everyone was in the officialdom, so they all had some sense.
"Xiao Liu, you were indeed negligent last night." Song Zhicheng fixed his gaze on Captain Liu, his tone filled with disappointment.
Captain Liu did not shirk his responsibility at all and took everything on himself.
"Yes, it was my fault, so I have no complaints about the punishment the bureau gave me."
Seeing his attitude of admitting his mistake, Song Zhicheng nodded with satisfaction.
"But - Xiao Liu's plan just now is correct. In the case where the body's face has been deliberately disfigured, the case cannot proceed without first confirming the identity of the deceased. So, does anyone have a better method? If so, please bring it up."
