"Let me go first!"
Miyun District Investigation Bureau!
Inside the case discussion meeting room!
The police officer in charge of the on-site investigation stood up from his seat:
“We didn’t find many clues at the scene.
Except for the gasoline remaining in the soil beneath the body and evaporating into the air.
At the entrance to the col, we found two marks left by wheels rolling on the ground.
Judging from the size, spacing and pattern of the marks, they should have come from a suitcase.
That is to say, the murderer most likely put the victim in a suitcase and then drove him to the valley to commit the crime.
And then this…”
The surveyor clicked the mouse, and several pictures suddenly appeared on the whiteboard in front of the conference room.
The object in the picture is yellow metal with charred substance attached.
The key point is that from the shape, it can be vaguely seen that it is almost exactly the same as the brass plate with the hand holding the eyes found at the car explosion scene.
"That snooper's sign again?"
"Is this case really related to them?"
…
"These are the more important clues we found during our on-site investigation.
We did find some remaining physical evidence, but it was of little use."
The investigator sat down, and the young forensic doctor stood up.
“We found quite a few superficial injuries on the charred corpse.
The superficial injuries on Xu Tuanjie's eldest daughter Xu Liting and son-in-law Zhao Xinkai were similar.
Judging from the shape of the wound, the murder weapon should also be a small dagger!
In addition to superficial injuries, Xu Tuanjie had more minor abrasions on his body.
There are no other injuries that are serious enough to be fatal!
The cause of his death was burning to death.
That is to say, just as the conclusion of the initial examination was, Xu Tuanjie was indeed burned to death.
There are many characteristics that can support this point.
The most critical thing is the muscle coagulation and contraction caused by close contact with flames.
For example, the tips of the victim's eyelashes were singed, while the roots were relatively intact.
Because of the high temperature stimulation, the victim will close his eyes tightly and the roots of the eyelashes will be protected by the eyelids.
In addition, the victim had goose claw-shaped marks at the corners of his eyes.
It is also because the high temperature causes the eyes to be closed, which forms wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, and the ash cannot penetrate into the wrinkles.
If the body was cremated after death, the eyelashes should have been burnt completely, and there would be no goose claw marks at the corners of the eyes.
Other characteristics include skin reactions such as erythema, blisters, and eschars.
There are inflammations in the body such as vasoconstriction and bleeding.
Lividity is bright red instead of the normal dark red due to the high concentration of carboxyhemoglobin in the blood.
Due to the deceased's breathing and swallowing movements, there were cigarette ash residues in his throat, trachea, esophagus and stomach.
Also, the body is in a fighting posture.
This is because high temperatures cause muscles to solidify and contract, and the limbs to flex.
In short, these life reactions can all prove that Xu Tuanjie was burned to death.
Everyone should know that being burned alive is one of the most painful ways to die.
We suspect that the murderer and Xu Tuanjie have a deep hatred.
That's why he used such a cruel method of killing.
As for the victim's time of death, combined with the digestion of stomach contents and the morphology of livor mortis, it is estimated that he died 25 hours before the body was discovered.
That was 5:30 in the evening of the day before yesterday.
The error is about an hour!"
After the young forensic doctor finished speaking, the trace examiner stood up and said:
“There aren’t many physical evidences like footprints in the valley.
And most of them came from the victim Xu Tuanjie.
The only special thing was the leather jacket on the deceased.
Despite the burns, we still found some fingerprint residue..."
