Chapter 6: Pulling the String!



The body under the quilt was Wu Liqun's wife, whom the villagers usually called Sister Mei.

Shen Ting only just learned from the information that her real name was Zhao Huimei.

She was wearing a gold dress-style nightgown.

The front of the pajamas has multiple puncture wounds caused by sharp objects.

Blood oozed from around each tear, soaking the pajamas.

Zhao Huimei's blood was lying beneath her torso.

Shen Ting looked around the rest of the bedroom; it was rather messy.

Judging from the bed arrangement, Zhao Huimei should be sleeping on the inside.

The bedside lamp on the bedside table was on, but it was slightly crooked.

The bedside table on Wu Liqun's side is tilted.

The desk lamp shattered and fell to the ground!

Secondly, the most obvious thing inside the house was the large amount of bloodstains.

Shen Ting found numerous splattered blood spots on the walls, wardrobe, bed, and curtains.

"Let's start with the bloodstains!"

Shen Ting asked the trace evidence specialist for the tools for analyzing bloodstain morphology and began studying the bloodstains at the scene.

In cases like this, where there is a large amount of blood at the scene, bloodstain pattern analysis can quickly reconstruct the crime scene based on the distribution and pattern of the bloodstains.

for example!

The location and angle of the attack, the weapon and number of attacks, the movement trajectories and relative positions of the perpetrator and the victim, etc.

All of these are crucial for solving the case.

The method Shen Ting used was, of course, the more traditional string-pulling method he had used before.

Guan Guandu, who was observing, suddenly received a phone call.

It was a call from an officer from the Chaoyang Investigation Bureau.

They have set up an investigation team and will be here soon.

There were two victims in this case, and it was not a typical crime of passion.

Such cases are rare even in Chaoyang District, so it's impossible to hand them over to an inexperienced police station.

Guan Guan briefly explained the situation on the phone, especially mentioning that Shen Ting was also here.

"Should we try to keep this place as it is until you arrive?"

"No need, just follow Shen Ting's arrangements."

Anyway, we always listen to Team Leader Shen when we go there.

Guan Guandu clearly heard that the people from the Chaoyang Investigation Bureau were equally pleasantly surprised to hear that Shen Ting was there.

About half an hour later, the investigation team arrived.

The leader was Zheng Yuanqiao, the captain of the first team of the Chaoyang Investigation Bureau.

After the last case involving the punisher, he was deeply involved and took a break for more than a month.

Today is my second day back on duty, and I never expected to have to deal with a murder case.

He was initially worried that he was "out of practice," but when he heard that Shen Ting was there, he was no longer worried at all.

After the investigation team went upstairs, they communicated with the police officers from the local police station.

Trace evidence examination, on-site investigation, forensic medicine, and so on, quickly took on their respective roles.

Zheng Yuanqiao, along with Guan Guandu, watched Shen Ting's actions.

He was somewhat surprised and whispered:

"If I'm not mistaken, this is the string method used in bloodstain analysis!"

Unexpectedly, Shen Ting still uses such old-fashioned investigative methods.

Guan Guandu is curious:

"Team Leader Zheng, haven't you worked with Team Leader Shen many times before?"

You've never seen him use bloodstain morphology analysis?

"Never seen it before!"

Zheng Yuanqiao shook his head and said with a wry smile:

"The criminal investigation methods I've seen Shen Ting use mainly include palynology, trace evidence analysis, and criminal profiling."

The bloodstain morphology analysis is something I've never seen before.

However, this is normal.

Shen Ting often unexpectedly displays new criminal investigation techniques.

I'm used to it.

I just don't know how many criminal investigation skills he actually possesses.

Guan Guandu nodded:

Yes, but that's not the most important thing.

We learned a bit about all sorts of skills at the police academy, so you could say we know them.

In practice, using it once or twice is fine.

But it's not good to use it too extensively.

But when I looked at Team Leader Shen, he clearly handled the bloodstain analysis, especially the string method, with ease and skill.

Unlike us, who only know a little bit.

"yes!"

Zheng Yuanqiao nodded.

Although it was the first time he had seen Shen Ting use the string method to analyze bloodstains, he could still tell that Shen Ting's technique was definitely very good.

The bloodstains at the crime scene were numerous and disorderly at first glance.

In such a scene, if the technique is mediocre, the trajectory line drawn from the blood spot pointing to the source of the blood will be very messy.

It will be like a tangled ball of yarn, bulky and intertwined.

However, the lines drawn by Shen Ting clearly do not have this problem.

Not only is it neat and orderly, but it is also very simple.

The lines drawn from each bloodstain can generally converge with other lines to locate the source of the blood.

Obviously!

Shen Ting was selective about the bloodstains.

Before pulling the thread, he seemed to have already determined which bloodstain would be useful for the analysis.

Such an ability is impossible to achieve without reaching a high level of proficiency in analyzing bloodstain patterns.

Guan Guandu and Zheng Yuanqiao discussed for about forty minutes.

Shen Ting has roughly completed the preliminary analysis of the bloodstains.

The reason it happened so quickly is that Shen Ting did indeed selectively pull the strings.

In the early stages of a case, the most crucial step is to briefly trace the lines to determine the relative positions of the perpetrator and the victim, as well as the process of the crime.

If further details require more precise stringing, it's not too late.

Shen Ting did a simple study based on the results of the string pulling.

The basic conclusions have been reached regarding the perpetrator's modus operandi.

Just then!

Director Guan walked over and asked in a low voice:

"Team Leader Shen, how is it?"

Did you find anything?
