The murder weapon was caught and sent to the forensic laboratory in its entirety. The accurate test report was issued, and everything was settled.
Even if Wu Xiaoyu suddenly changed his confession, it was too late.
Liu Jiaming wrote the case closing report, Sanfu and Xu Shaowei sorted out all the test reports, Jiu Shu led Gary to bind all the confessions and other documents. According to Yi Jiayi's requirements, all the work was carried out in an orderly manner.
After Fang Zhenyue got all the documents reviewed and revised by Yi Jiayi, he almost didn't need to do anything to supplement. He just wrote the case closing opinion and submitted it to the Department of Justice.
After hearing that the documents submitted by Team A to the Department of Justice were rejected and that they had to re-compile the logic chain and evidence report, Fang Zhenyue specially created an encounter with Inspector Zhang Feng of Team A, and he had to feel the envy of Inspector Zhang. It was impossible to walk in the night in gorgeous clothes, and showing off was somewhat addictive.
Inspector Zhang was quite direct, and asked, "Aren't you Team B strong?" Fang Zhenyue was also angry, and he couldn't bear it in vain, so he sent You Shazhan and two detectives from Team A to learn from Team B.
How to organize documents, how to show the logic chain, how to mark documents and evidence, it's a pity for the detectives of Team B, they can't be completely free even if there is no case.
Seeing Sanfu and others being pulled to teach in the office, Fang Zhenyue's face turned black: "..."
"Okay, I'll treat you to a few more big meals later." Zhang Feng smiled and patted Fang Zhenyue's shoulder at the door of the B team's office.
"That's what you should do. You've been learning things here. I don't know how many morning and afternoon teas you've had all day." Fang Zhenyue sighed, and went back to his office with Zhang Feng to discuss the police station's case advancement and the coordination process of various departments - at the end of each year, everyone has to review the management system of the entire team, keep the essence and discard the dross. In terms of constantly introducing new technologies, new management systems, new office equipment, etc., the Hong Kong police force is no worse than some advanced economic enterprises. After
the superiors left, the B team's office became more lively.
Jiayi didn't need to discuss with the detectives of Group A in person. The other detectives of Group B who were already familiar with their work were particularly good at teaching, especially when facing the group of You Shazhan in Group A. They put on a teacher's airs with their hands on their waists and were very happy.
Jiayi pulled Liang Shule and buried their heads in front of the old table that Yue Ge moved over. From time to time, she looked up and asked the detectives of Group B about the height of their doors, the size of doors and walls, etc. After
everyone reported the number, Jiayi immediately took out a ruler to measure the red paper with Liang Shule, tore and cut it, and then spread it out, carrying a set of spring couplets to attract wealth and fortune. Liang Shule dipped the oversized brush like the judge's pen into ink, and then wrote a couplet with a big brush.
Add the word "Fu" and the horizontal stroke, and it was done.
This morning, Jiayi learned that Liang Shule had this unique skill. She immediately decided that Liang would write all the Spring Festival couplets for everyone in Group B.
Even when Yiji needs to write the new dish signs in the future, Officer Liang will be asked to do it. This unique skill cannot be wasted. In exchange for a few bowls of milk tea at Yiji, it can be considered as extra money.
Liang Shule was surrounded by everyone. Everyone from Group A and Group B who were discussing the report format came over to watch Liang Shule's ink-splashing art, thanking and praising him. Liang Shule
's face was flushed throughout the whole process. I don't know if it was because of the red paper or because of happiness.
Everyone's reunion activities lasted for most of the day. In the evening, the Attorney General's Office confirmed that the documents were ok, and CID B's case of destroying the family of Wei Li Jin Hui was closed.
Before they could even cheer, Mr. Huang called.
The half-day of leisure was a blessing, and in the blink of an eye, a new case came.
...
There was no crime scene, no intact body, no murder weapon... There was only a severed finger, an old lady who found the severed finger and called the police, and a trash can where the severed finger was found (it had been rained on and cleaned countless times by now).
Jiayi took a few reports and stared at Fang Zhenyue for a while before sitting down and reading the report.
The report from the Forensic Department -
"The scene was rained on, no special fingerprints were found, and no cutting tools consistent with the murder weapon were found..." Sanfu took the investigation report that Jiayi had read and frowned as he read it.
"The plastic bag that contained the severed finger was stained with mud and garbage. The moss found in the mud is a light-avoiding plant that lives in damp, dark places such as sewers and caves." Xu Shaowei took another test report and read it out while reading:
"Small skins, shells, and internal organs of fish, shrimp, and seafood were found in the garbage..."
Jiayi raised her head, walked to the bookshelf, took out a map book and started reading it. After a few minutes, she turned around and said:
"There are several seafood stalls on the street next to the trash can where the severed finger was found. The Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter is also there."
"We can start from the seafood stalls and typhoon shelters over there." Fang Zhenyue nodded, walked to the whiteboard and recorded this direction.
Then, everyone buried their heads in the documents again.
The report from the forensic department -
"The uneven surface of the severed finger shows that the murder weapon was not a sharp knife, but some kind of blunt weapon..." Uncle Jiu looked at the reference opinion given by the forensic doctor Sir Xu:
"Some kind of blunt weapon can cause such a cut by rapid impact and cutting."
After saying that, Uncle Jiu picked up the photo and looked at it for a while, frowning and said:
"Was it caused by a car accident? The car was driving too fast..."
"Or some large machine in a factory?" Gary raised his head and asked.
"The scope is too large. I'm afraid it will take forever to investigate just based on this severed finger. We don't even know if the person is dead or alive..." Sanfu raised his head and interrupted.
"The fingerprints on the severed finger have been rubbed off. It doesn't look like it was caused accidentally. There are no scars on other parts of the severed finger, only a very rough wound on the fingerprints. And..." Liu Jiaming hissed, "
The fingerprints were rubbed off after death or after they were cut off from the hand."
"If the person was not killed, why would they rub off the fingerprints? The person whose finger was cut off is most likely dead." Liang Shule sat on the side, listening to everyone discussing clues and evidence while concentrating on thinking. Finally, he caught up with everyone's progress and interjected something that he thought made sense.
Sure enough, Jiayi turned her head to look at him, smiled and nodded.
Liang Shule was ecstatic, but he suppressed his excitement and smiled shyly at Jiayi. When Jiayi lowered her head to continue reading the documents, he quietly touched his face.
Turning his head to see if Xu Shaowei, who was sitting next to him, had seen Yi Jiayi nodding in agreement, he saw Xu Shaowei holding a document, staring blankly at the photo of the severed finger held by Uncle Jiu, his face pale.
"The Forensic Department has a report on the severed finger. Some algae elements that are only found in the ocean were collected from the severed finger interface." Jiayi suddenly read out a document:
"Brother Da Guangming gave a reference opinion on some marks on the severed finger incision... marks of Fujitora's quick scraping of the edge..."
"Will there be rattan pots? And algae? It's impossible that the speedboat carrying people crashed into the sea stone wall with Fujitora attached at high speed and cut off the finger?" Uncle Jiu asked in disbelief.
"If it was cut by impact, the finger is on the human body and it is impossible to be cut like this. It will probably be fractured, and the flesh may be scraped off. It is impossible to be cut off completely like this... Since it is cut, I think there must be something like a knife..." Gary raised his head and said, while raising his right hand and making a cutting motion.
Jiayi raised her head and turned her eyes to think.
Fang Zhenyue also stood still with his chest folded, frowning and thinking.
After a few seconds, the two raised their heads almost at the same time and raised their right index fingers eagerly.
Jiayi answered faster:
"Propeller!"
"Bingo!" Fang Zhenyue smiled and pointed his finger to show his agreement.
"Then the first place to dump the body should be somewhere on the seabed, where a ship with a propeller can sail, and the seabed must be deep enough. At the same time, it will be brought to the shore, so it is probably not too far from the shore." Sanfu immediately answered. Although he could not answer as quickly as the eleventh sister, he had to actively show his wisdom.
"For some reason, the severed finger was separated from the seabed after being broken by the propeller, and was brought to the shore..." Uncle Jiu looked up and looked at Fang Zhenyue who was writing on the whiteboard, and pointed his finger at the table.
"It was found by someone and then thrown into the trash can." Gary said with a smile.
"My colleagues in the forensic department compared the trace elements found on the severed finger with those of the ocean, and pointed out several areas with similar seaweed and rattan pots, all on the west coast of Kowloon and below the Rambler Strait," said Liu Jiaming.
Because the body was first dumped on the coast of west Kowloon, the case was eventually sent to the West Kowloon Serious Crime Unit.
"The algae and seafood viscera in the garbage bag where the severed finger was found, if not in the dark and damp kitchen of a seafood restaurant, then it must be in the sewer where seafood viscera and other garbage are discarded..." said Sanfu.
"Then let's start by checking all the seafood stores near the severed finger, especially those who buy, process, and prepare seafood, as well as the fishermen and merchants who sell seafood to that area." Jiayi stood up and began to call the shots. After arranging everyone, she held a few documents and said that she would go to the Forensic Department to take a look at the severed finger, and then talk to Sir Xu, and then report back to everyone later.
"I will apply for the cooperation of the Coast Guard and dispatch some PTU members to do the seabed salvage and investigation work in the marine area circled by Brother Da Guangming." Fang Zhenyue clapped his hands and smiled to supplement Jiayi's work.
"OK! Let's get started." Jiayi stood up, and everyone took up the task, got up, dressed, and went out.
During this process, no one noticed that Xu Shaowei had not spoken a word since he heard that the fingerprints on the broken finger had been worn away and saw the photo of the broken finger in Uncle Jiu's hand.
He moved slowly and his mind was distracted. After putting on his windbreaker, he completely forgot to put on his scarf.
While buttoning his clothes, he walked at the end of the team.
His eyes swept across the back of everyone's head... That is the most vulnerable and defenseless part of a human being. A bullet can easily end their life...
The body that was about to be discovered was killed in this way.
Xu Shaowei's hands and feet were cold, his lips trembled slightly, and he looked at his teammates who were walking through the corridor while discussing work.
He was clearly following behind them, but in a trance, he felt like he was being sucked away by some force.
The people in front of him seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him, so far that he was isolated in another world, so far that he could not hear their words or see their expressions.
Everyone's face was blurred, and they became a group of shadows swaying forward.
