Chapter 110: Treat others the way they do 04: A combustion accelerator is poured into the esophagus...
Chapter 4
After showing the photos taken at the scene, Ma Ji said: "The deceased is an adult male, aged between 30 and 35, between 1.7 and 1.75 meters tall. Judging from the worn teeth and facial features, he is from this province."
"The autopsy initially determined that the deceased had been imprisoned and beaten many times before his death. He was not fasting before his death. His hands and feet were tied with ropes. He had multiple open wounds on his body. The bones of his limbs were completely shattered. There were also very severe burns from his throat, esophagus to stomach."
Jing Jue asked: "Why do the throat and esophagus also get burned?"
Ma Ji explained: "Because the murderer poured an accelerant into the victim's esophagus, lit a fire, and the fire burned into the esophagus through the mouth."
"This is too cruel." Jing Jue was shocked.
Ma Ji nodded: "Yes, the murderer's method of committing the crime is indeed very cruel. This is also the first time in all my years as a police officer that I have encountered a case where the victim was tortured so badly."
Lu Changfeng frowned: "The murderer is enjoying the process of committing the crime. This victim can excite him."
He asked: "Are there any results from the DNA comparison?"
Ma Ji shook his head: "No, we can't do fingerprint comparison. The deceased was burned too badly. We can't find any fingerprints in advance. His information can't be compared in the DNA database. Our current DNA database is not complete."
The DNA data that generally exists in the police system is mostly from criminals who have committed crimes and have criminal records. Generally speaking, it is easier to match them with the criminals themselves or people who are related to them by blood.
Then there is the DNA data recorded due to legal disputes, and there is not much such data in the system.
Lu Changfeng asked: "Have you checked the missing persons in the city based on the height, body type and age of the deceased? You can see if there are any who meet the requirements and ask their family members to come to the Municipal Bureau for DNA testing."
"We are already investigating missing persons, not only in this city, but also in the surrounding cities." Ma Ji gave a more detailed explanation: "Shenxian Mountain is quite popular in the small circle of wild mountain climbing. Some mountaineering teams from the surrounding areas often come here to climb the mountain. The deceased may not be a local."
Lu Changfeng asked: "Have you searched the area around Shenxian Mountain? How did the deceased and the murderer get to Shenxian Mountain? Did they take public transportation, drive, ride a bike, take a ride, or walk? Have you checked the surveillance cameras along the way?"
"We have also analyzed this. It is three or four kilometers from the nearest town to Shenxian Mountain, and more than ten kilometers from the town to the city. It is unlikely to walk or ride a bicycle. After we came down the mountain in the evening, we also asked nearby residents, and they said they had not seen anyone walking or riding a bicycle into Shenxian Mountain recently. These two methods can almost be ruled out."
"As for taxi-hailing, we have been working with several taxi-hailing apps to retrieve records of people going to Shenxian Mountain from anywhere in recent times. We have not received any corresponding information yet. I have sent people to retrieve videos of public transportation, and I estimate that we will be able to get the videos later. I will organize everyone to watch them overnight and screen out those who meet the requirements."
"There is only one main road in the town near Shenxian Mountain that has surveillance equipment. My colleagues have retrieved them along the street. Some equipment can last for a month, while some can only last for three days. We are currently sorting them out, and we will organize viewings after the sorting is completed."
Ma Ji looked at the members of the serious crime team and asked, "Do you have any questions?"
The most crucial thing in this case is to confirm the identity of the deceased as soon as possible. Before the identity of the deceased is confirmed, any action is meaningless.
Ma Ji's preparation work was very solid, and there was nothing left for the serious crime team to add.
"We will expedite the investigation of the deceased's identity," Ma Ji promised.
After the brief meeting, Ma Ji led them to the guesthouse next to the police station. "You must be tired from traveling, so go to bed early. I will keep an eye on the police station and notify you as soon as there is any progress."
After Ma Ji left, several members of the serious crime squad gathered in Lu Changfeng's room.
Yue Fanglin asked Zhou Yu: "Has that mailbox not received any emails related to the case so far?"
Zhou Yu shook his head: "I suspect this email address has been abandoned. I have monitored this email address and it has not been logged in during this period of time."
"Then we can't do anything until we find out the identity of the deceased."
Lu Changfeng said: "Don't worry, there will be results tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the latest."
According to the standards for filing a missing adult case, relatives of a mentally sound adult can go to the police station to report the case twenty-four or forty-eight hours after the adult has gone missing. In special circumstances, a case can be filed at any time.
According to the current situation, if the deceased has any living family members, they should have already called the police or are preparing to call the police. It won't take much time for the DNA data to be entered into the system and the DNA comparison results will be available.
Jing Jue: "What if the deceased has no family members?"
"It is impossible for a person to exist in this society without any intersection with this society. When people around him find that he is missing, they will report it to the police as soon as possible. In this way, they can also know his personal information and extract DNA from his residence for comparison."
If this doesn't work, then we'll have to do a census of the entire province's population.
Now, landlords will register and report who lives in each area and where they live, and local community staff will keep records. From time to time, they will fill out the residential information for a census. It is only a matter of time to find out who is missing across the province. Then, these missing people will be picked out for screening and compared by age groups, and they will be found out sooner or later.
The fear is that before they can find out the identity of the deceased, the murderer has already planned to flee overseas by plane like Kong Weiling.
"What kind of hatred would make them kill the deceased in this way?" Jing Jue couldn't understand it. In the previous cases, the killing methods were extremely simple. It can be seen from their killing methods that they cut the Gordian knot quickly, kill people and then retreat, trying their best to escape the punishment of the law.
If there had not been sufficient evidence and the police had found the key to solving the case, leaving the other party with no defense, there would have been a high probability that the murderers in the previous cases would have escaped.
Especially in the case of Jiang Hua, the key to solving the case was a small candy wrapper.
The method of committing the crime in the previous case was also very clever. The murderer hid behind everyone and took advantage of the visitors' psychology, instilling ideas of murder into them, cultivating their inner nightmares, and pushing them to release their inner demons one after another to commit murder.
Lu Changfeng sighed: "I suddenly regret not learning another course in criminal psychology analysis."
Yue Fanglin said: "You are still young, it is not too late for you to start learning now."
Lu Changfeng said, "Although we haven't studied criminal psychology, we have come across many cases. We have been in this field for more than ten years, and we have come across more than a dozen murders every year on average. We have been to hundreds of crime scenes, and although we are not proficient in criminal behavior analysis, we can still draw some conclusions based on what they have learned."
"I'm all ears." Yue Fanglin has been a criminal policeman for many years and has come into contact with many homicide cases. Of course, he has his own set of methods for investigating cases, but he gave all the opportunities to Lu Changfeng.
Lu Changfeng smiled and said, "I always say that Captain Yue, I have stolen all your limelight."
"I'm not good at these. I can do things, but I'm not good at speaking."
During the interrogation, Lu Changfeng's mind worked quickly, his words were frequent, and he was able to respond quickly to the suspect's words.
Lu Changfeng said: "We are all family, and no one will laugh at you."
"Then I'll tell you." Yue Fanglin did have something to say about this case: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the murderer is torturing the victim, and there are signs of the Judge at the scene. As we all know, the Judge's favorite method is to give someone a taste of their own medicine."
"Jiang Hua was cyberbullying others, so the judge released his account after his death to expose his character and let him be cyberbullied as well."
"Five high school students from Yulong High School died. Stones were placed in their pockets. Yang Chuan accidentally learned about what happened to Jiang Yue, so he placed the stones there. The main cause of death was that the five of them bullied Yang Chuan's younger brother at school, so they were killed at school."
"Li Sai got Fang Yuanke, a young girl from the company, to drink, which resulted in Fang Yuanke dying of alcohol poisoning in her rental house. Feng Yi made him die in his car in a similar way, which can be regarded as a return of favor."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Yue Fanglin added: "In Kong Weiling's case, she manipulated the visitors to kill people. These visitors had been severely hurt by people in their own families. At the very least, it was intentional homicide, and at the most, it was a homicide caused by family reasons. I think it also fits the principle of giving someone a taste of their own medicine."
Jing Jue understood and said, "Captain Yue, you mean that the way the deceased in this case was abused was the same way he abused others before?"
"That's what I guessed." Yue Fanglin looked at Lu Changfeng: "Changfeng, what do you think?"
"I agree with you. I also think that everything the deceased is going through now is probably what he did to others."
Jing Jue thought for a while and found it a bit strange. "Then logically speaking, whether it is imprisonment, beating, or breaking bones, if these things really happened, wouldn't the victims call the police?"
"Even if the victim is unable to report the incident to the police, the murderer in this case could have reported it to the police if he knew about it and sought justice for the victim in a proper way, rather than using torture in private."
Such cases are different from cyber violence, school bullying, domestic violence and other more common situations where the sentencing standards are not met. This is a case of intentional injury and illegal detention, and once verified, justice can be sought through legal means.
It is easier to get justice in this type of case than in other cases.
But the murderer chose to take revenge on himself.
Jing Jue had a bold guess: "Could it be that the judge in this case was seeking revenge, and therefore did not send the modus operandi to the mailbox? This case cannot represent a certain phenomenon that currently exists in society, but is just a single hatred?"
"Your speculation is not without reason." Lu Changfeng affirmed Jing Jue's guess.
Judging from the current situation, he really can't think of the universality of this case in society?
Violence between strangers can be resolved by calling the police, and this is the easiest type of case to resolve.
There is no such thing as the police being unwilling to take over and give justice to the victims.
