The two encountered a traffic jam on the way back. It took them twenty minutes to drive a short section of twenty meters. After they finally drove out of the traffic jam, Li Shijie called and asked when Qin Shen would be back and whether the case discussion meeting could be held.
"Open, of course." Qin Shen held his phone in one hand and controlled the steering wheel with the other. "Tell everyone to go to Conference Room No. 1. Each department should bring their documents. I'll be there in ten minutes. Has the autopsy report from the medical examiner come out yet? ...Tell them to hurry up and stop reporting those things. Just summarize the deceased's situation roughly. As for the documents that need to be reviewed internally, just make do with what procedures and specifications are required and we'll make up for it later."
Xu Man sat in the passenger seat and watched him hang up the phone. She turned the steering wheel to the left with one hand and spoke cautiously, "Um, Captain..."
"What's up?"
"Just now I saw the surveillance camera on the roadside flashing towards us. Did it capture your illegal behavior of answering the phone while driving?"
Qin Shen cursed, "Fuck, it's taking pictures of me again. This broken machine doesn't take pictures of people running red lights while reversing, but only takes pictures of these random little actions."
And...isn't this the first time he's been photographed?
“Will there be any points deducted?”
"Two points will be deducted and I'll be fined 200 yuan. But it's okay. Just tell the traffic police department and they'll say that they're investigating a case. They won't record any violations against me."
Xu Man was silent.
Sure enough, this is not the first time that he has been photographed. Look at the skillful process of eliminating points.
Come to think of it, if the criminal police team had to be photographed and fined every time a case occurred, they would have started a war with the traffic police team long ago.
They are all public security departments, so of course we have to give each other face.
It was almost seven o'clock in the evening when they returned to the detachment. There were still five minutes before the agreed meeting time. There was almost no one in the hall. Xu Man followed Qin Shen, watching him walk slowly through the hall and up to the second floor. She couldn't help but feel anxious for him.
However, there is a reason for being leisurely. At exactly seven o'clock, Qin Shen pushed open the door of Conference Room No. 1 on time.
In an instant, the noise in the conference room hit me.
"I told you, Brother Qin will definitely not be late." Li Shijie looked at his phone and proudly showed off to his colleagues, "It's exactly seven o'clock, not a minute more or less. How about that, awesome, right?"
Someone sighed and said, "It seems that our new girl is not attractive enough. She failed to dethrone the case that was ranked first in Captain Qin's heart."
Someone objected, "That's still a one-minute error. If you have the guts, count down and see if Captain Qin is on time."
Someone else cheered, "Yes, even one second is still a difference. You still have to treat us to a meal!..."
"Bullshit! Brother Qin arrived exactly on time, not even a second late!..."
Qin Shen raised his hand and knocked twice on the door of the conference room. "What are you all arguing about? Be quiet!"
His shout successfully shut everyone up and they all sat back in their original seats. He walked in, closed the door, and pointed to a seat for Xu Man, "Sit there."
Xu Man followed his instructions and walked over and sat down, feeling a little nervous. When Qin Shen called her out before, she thought it was just an ordinary conversation, so she only took her cell phone and nothing else. Fortunately, there were not many people around holding paper and pen, and most of them were empty-handed like her. She felt a little relieved.
Qin Shen sat down at the head of the conference table, picked up a document on the table and looked through it. While reading, he called out, "Hang Qin, tell everyone the details of the case."
Upon hearing this, Hang Qin, a member of the second team, stood up from her seat and played a PPT on the projection screen, explaining to everyone as she played it: "On July 3, that is, at 1:32 p.m. today, the command center received a call reporting that a plastic bag containing body parts was found in a wetland park on the outskirts of the city. The discoverers were two park security guards and a tourist. The tourist illegally brought a dog into the park and was dragged to the center of the woods by his pet dog. He dug out a pink plastic bag from the ground, and after smelling a strange smell, he thought it was garbage, so he called the security guards, who eventually discovered the body parts hidden inside."
"This is the plastic bag found by the three people who reported the case, and the other three plastic bags we dug up later." The female police officer pressed the remote control, and the PPT on the projection screen switched to the next picture, showing everyone two pictures put together for comparison. "After careful comparison, the body parts in these four plastic bags all belong to the same body, and can be perfectly pieced together without any omissions. No other signs of body disposal were found in the woods, so this can be classified as a separate murder case."
Qin Shen nodded and opened another document. "How did the autopsy go?"
"The detailed autopsy report has not come out yet." The forensic team leader Dong Rui stood up. He is the oldest in the entire detachment and has been engaged in the forensic industry for more than 20 years. He is skilled in technology and rich experience. There are almost no mistakes in the results of autopsies. He is quite famous in the public security system. Guan Shuiyun was brought up by him.
"But the general situation has been determined. Through calculation, the deceased is about 10 to 11 years old, a female, and the cause of death was massive bleeding caused by a ruptured carotid artery. The time of death was between 20 and 25 hours ago, that is, between noon and 5 pm yesterday. There are multiple mechanical injuries on the body, most of which are near the joints. It is speculated that they were caused by the murderer when dismembering the body. There is a mechanical injury about three centimeters long on the shoulder blade, and a deep incision about four centimeters long on the right side of the neck. It is preliminarily inferred that it is a fatal injury. No signs of sexual assault were found."
Dong Rui sat down after he finished speaking, and Guan Shuiyun stood up and continued, "We examined the deceased's esophagus and stomach and found that he was eating before his death. Based on the remaining ingredients, we can infer that they were strawberries, apples, and bananas."
"She eats so much?" Li Shijie was extremely surprised. "How could she eat that much? Wouldn't an ordinary little girl be full after eating one apple?"
Guan Shuiyun ignored him and continued to talk while staring at the report in her hand. Xu Man sat next to Li Shijie and saw that he was depressed by being ignored by Guan Shuiyun, so she whispered to him: "It should be a fruit platter, with only a little bit of everything."
"…There are multiple repeated cuts on the victim's body, especially on the joints. It can be inferred that the murderer is not particularly experienced, at least in dismembering bodies. In addition, there is another most important point."
Guan Shuiyun walked to the front of the conference room, placed the report in her hand under the projector, and projected a page of the report to everyone.
Three autopsy pictures suddenly enlarged on the screen. Unlike the state when the body was found in the park, the blood and mud on the body had been cleaned up, revealing the original state, which made Xu Man instinctively feel physically nauseous. The body was dismembered one day after death. This was really not a good viewing experience.
She glanced around and saw that everyone was staring at the screen with a normal expression. It was obvious that they were used to such scenes. She suppressed the discomfort in her heart and forced herself to concentrate and stare at the screen.
"The mechanical injuries on the shoulder blade and the right side of the neck are different from those on other parts. The wounds are shallow in front and deep in the back, which means the murderer attacked the victim from behind. The first blow was relatively light, while the second blow was obviously heavier. It is obvious that the murderer was not ruthless when he attacked for the first time, and perhaps he had not yet decided whether to kill the victim."
"Is there anything strange about this?" Qin Shen glanced at the copy of the autopsy report in his hand. "Horror in passion, such cases are not uncommon."
"That's not the point I want to make." Guan Shuiyun said, "The characteristics of these two wounds are different from other places. Our forensic team conducted a simulation and speculation, and after careful comparison, we confirmed that the two wounds were caused by different people. In other words, the murderer and the dismemberer were not the same person. This was a two-person crime."
Qin Shen paused while flipping through the documents. "Are you sure?"
"The wounds on her shoulders and neck were shallower than usual. It was only because the victim was a minor and her body had not yet fully developed that these wounds became her fatal injuries. An adult's strength would not be so weak, so I tend to think that it was a minor who committed the crime. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that it was an adult with less strength who committed the crime. Women, the elderly, and the disabled are all physically weaker groups."
Qin Shen was silent for a few seconds.
"What about the other wounds on the body?"
"It's within the range of an adult's strength." Guan Shuiyun replied.
The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became solemn.
"... A minor killed someone, and an adult dismembered the body," Qin Shen sneered and shook his head, "It's really a big problem. Maybe the adult who dismembered the body was the murderer's parent, and after discovering that his child had committed murder, he helped cover up the traces."
"Could it be incitement to murder?" Zhu Zhuo said, "Minors do not have a mature worldview yet. They do not have enough respect for death and do not have enough understanding of the law. They are easily instigated by adults."
"That's also a problem." Qin Shen threw the document on the table. "As long as the perpetrator is underage, this case will be a big problem. You all should be careful when investigating the case. Don't leak the news to the outside world, especially the media. If those guys knew that this was a vicious case involving minors, they would definitely make a big fuss online. By then, the whole detachment will have no peace."
"Don't be discouraged. The identity of the murderer has not been determined yet. Didn't Xiaoguan say that we can't rule out the possibility that it was an adult with less strength who committed the crime?" said Deputy Captain Chen Kangquan. He had been listening to everyone's speeches silently from the beginning until now. When he saw Qin Shen throw the documents and lean back in his chair, looking like he didn't want to say more, he spontaneously took over his conversation. "How is the on-site investigation going? And how is the investigation going on with the reporter?"
"We have investigated it carefully," said Zhang Hongfei, the team leader. "The pink plastic bag that contained the body is a common type of garbage bag, which is sold in various stores. It is usually sold together with several other garbage bags of different colors. It is a common household item and there are no special marks on it. We cannot trace it through this channel. There are no clothes or fabrics attached to the body parts. It is obvious that the murderer stripped the clothes off the victim before dismembering the body. The victim's head and face were also damaged. It seems that he did not want the police to know the identity of the victim."
"Interesting." Qin Shen smiled playfully. "There are two murderers, one responsible for killing the person, and the other responsible for dismembering the body. The one who dismembered the body is inexperienced, but at least one of the two knows to destroy as many things as possible that can reveal the identity of the deceased, and has the awareness of anti-reconnaissance. What does this mean?"
