"She should be very beautiful after the plastic surgery," Bai Song said matter-of-factly.
Lin Qing's head was somewhat deformed. Although it did not look hideous after being beheaded after death, some prostheses had problems due to freezing, and it became disfigured after thawing.
Thawing is a must. Corpses are generally stored at low temperatures but cannot be frozen hard. For example, the storage temperature in the morgue is generally minus eight degrees Celsius, while the freezing temperature in the refrigerator is generally minus 18 to 24 degrees Celsius.
The so-called thawing is also low-temperature thawing, and it is impossible to heat it above 20 degrees. If it is not thawed, it is impossible to carry out any dissection process.
"Yes, there are only a few photos of her before the surgery. She deleted them all from her phone and Weibo." Sun Jie said, "I only saw one ID photo of her before, and it didn't look like her."
"I've seen the ID photo too," Bai Song nodded, "This is considered a successful cosmetic surgery, but it's a pity that these things can't withstand low temperatures."
"The human body temperature never drops below 30 degrees, so using something like this is in line with the standard," Sun Jie said casually.
"Why is it nine sections?" Bai Song looked at the assembled corpse, somewhat puzzled.
"According to Ouyang, the instrument used should be a relatively large metal device. We suspect that he didn't know how to use it at the beginning and cut off an extra piece." Sun Jie said.
In ancient times, there was a punishment called "five punishments", which is commonly known as "cutting into eight pieces". The original meaning is beheading, cutting off feet, cutting off hands, gouging out eyes, and cutting off ears, but this is obviously more than eight pieces. Generally speaking, the head, arms, and legs are cut off, and the torso is chopped into three pieces.
This was not the case with Lin Qing. Her torso was intact, but her legs were violently cut apart from the knees, leaving four legs, two arms, a head, and a torso. In addition, her right foot was cut off separately.
Judging from the incision, it was probably cut open directly by a hydraulic tool, but there was no abnormal electricity usage record in the three days before the death.
According to Ouyang Xinyu, it could also be a non-electric device or a portable, rechargeable electric device.
"Statements have been taken from people upstairs and downstairs. There was indeed no loud noise on the day Lin Qing died. There was an old lady living downstairs from Lin Qing who was suffering from neurasthenia. If non-electric equipment was used at home, it would require smashing and chopping, which would make a lot of noise," said Bai Song.
"It can't be a non-electric device. Human power can't make such a one-time incision," Sun Jie said. "Look at this place. A piece of fresh femur was directly cut off. From here, the equipment has almost no deflection when entering here. This requires a relatively large device. If it is a large iron lump as Ouyang Xinyu said, and there may be some rust, it is unlikely to be rechargeable. How many of the previous devices were rechargeable?"
"Gasoline engine?" Bai Song thought for a moment and said, "Although there is noise, it may not reach the downstairs."
"That's possible, but gasoline or diesel engines must have alkane residues, and no alkane was found on the body or the incision." Sun Jie said: "I just looked carefully at the trace evidence test."
"How did you do that..." Bai Song put on his gloves and reached out to touch the broken part of the body, especially the thigh root. Bai Song knew the strength of the bones there. If Bai Song had the strength, he should be able to cut it open with some instruments, but he definitely couldn't do it "in two with one stroke" like this.
"I can only say it's a portable rechargeable hydraulic device. Maybe this girl is too thin and her bones are not strong enough, so she doesn't need such a high power." Sun Jie said.
"Your statement is not rigorous..." Bai Song looked at Sun Jie. Under the dim light, his eyes were still a little creepy.
Sun Jie was immune to Bai Song's expressions in this scene. He reached out and picked up the dead man's right foot and looked at the broken end carefully. "I know a little about wounds, but I don't know much about modern equipment. I like off-roading, and I have some tools in my car. Some portable rechargeable impact drills can easily remove the tire screws of off-road vehicles. Generally speaking, the power of battery equipment is not as high as that of plug-in equipment, but as long as the torque is larger, the power can be amazing."
"Okay..." Bai Song also looked at the dead man's foot. "This foot looks rougher than the other one."
"It's normal. The one that was cut off alone has more severe internal blood loss than the one with the calf attached," said Sun Jie.
"Okay, let's stop looking at her and look at Lin Liang's situation."
…
No one knew what Bai Song was thinking today. He spent a whole hour looking over the bodies of the two deceased thoroughly. Sun Jie didn't find any new key clues, so it was naturally impossible for Bai Song to do so.
After coming out, Bai Song took his mobile phone at the door and found that he had a missed call from Wang Huadong, so he called back.
"What are you doing? Why don't you have your phone with you?"
"I went to the autopsy with Brother Jie," Bai Song said, "but we didn't find anything useful. How's your side going? What does Ouyang want from you?"
"At the scene of Lin Qing's death, she said she had a feeling that the incident happened over more than three days, but there was no reasoning or logic." Wang Huadong said.
"It wasn't just three days. A week had passed when she went to the scene," Bai Song said, a little confused. When they arrived, three or four days had passed since the body was discovered.
"We all know this. She meant it was more than a week," Wang Huadong said. "She said she had that intuition based on the thickness of the dust layer on some of the footprints."
"Is the thickness of this dust measurable?" Bai Song was speechless.
"This sounds a bit fantastic," Wang Huadong said, "So she didn't tell you. Even if she told you, you wouldn't believe it."
"If she tells you and then asks you to tell me, will I believe it?" Bai Song asked back.
"She convinced me." Wang Huadong said affirmatively.
"Then tell me in detail."
"Do you still remember the scene where Lin Qing was killed and the traces that Teacher Ouyang found of Lin Qing struggling in slippers?" Wang Huadong asked.
"I remember. But I don't know how she found it." Bai Song raised a puzzled question: "If you can find slipper marks, then there are so many slipper marks on the ground, how can you determine which one is the struggle shoe print?"
"Because that is the freshest and clearest," Wang Huadong said, "Do you think there are hundreds of shoe prints in this room? Actually, not really. The girl had only mopped the floor a few days before she died, and the murderer also cleaned up some traces after killing her. But even so, there are thousands of footprints on the floor. Theoretically, if you walk around the house twice or go to the toilet, there will be dozens or even hundreds of footprints. The footprints from daily walking are lighter, and the footprints from the final struggle are heavier."
"Didn't you find any footprints of other people at the scene?" Bai Song didn't continue talking about this topic. He still didn't quite believe it.
"There are traces of two men, but they are not obvious. They have obviously been treated, probably with shoe covers. This is tile, so it is indeed difficult to find obvious traces," Wang Huadong said, "Don't interrupt me, let me continue. These are the footprints of Lin Qing's final struggle. Teacher Ouyang said that they may have been there for about half a month. The dust on them is much thicker than that of Lin Qing's mother's footprints."
"Lin Qing's mother?" Bai Song seemed to be thinking about something.
Such thin and inconspicuous footprints will continue to accumulate dust after being stepped on. This is a very normal phenomenon.
Generally, if no one wipes the windowsill regularly with a towel, a noticeable layer of dust will form after two weeks.
The thickness of this dust can be seen with the naked eye, but it is difficult to measure.
The police are protected when they enter the scene. They will try their best to avoid affecting the traces and creating new traces. Therefore, there is an obvious reference in this room, which is the footprints of Lin Qing's mother.
The time when Lin Qing's mother entered the house was 100% certain, and when Ouyang Xinyu came, Lin Qing's mother's footprints had also been there for a few days, so a comparison could be formed.
"There's no way this can be written into the report, right?" Bai Song asked.
"Yes, that's right. It's useless for me to tell you. Although Teacher Ouyang is an expert, she is unwilling to write it in the investigation report. It has no theoretical support and is likely to be wrong. It's not that she is afraid of making a mistake, but such a mistake is easy to mislead. She meant for me to consider whether to tell you or not. She doesn't know you well enough." Wang Huadong said: "But I know you. I will tell you this and you will be responsible for thinking about how to use this information."
"This is very crucial information." Bai Song closed his eyes, thought for five seconds, and then said, "I believe our people. I think I have an idea."
"Okay, then where should I go now to meet you?" Wang Huadong said.
"I'm going to go find Shu Yuan. You take a rest first. You don't have to go to the scene. This time your expertise conflicts with Ouyang Xinyu's. She is already professional enough. You just lie down."
"Haha, OK." Wang Huadong didn't care. The biggest gain for him this time was that he could continue to learn from Ouyang Xinyu. Young people have their advantages, but they still lack experience.
…
After finishing here, Bai Song and Sun Jie went to find Liu Shuyuan first. Liu Shuyuan found Zuo Xiaoqin and they had been communicating for more than half an hour. They were still communicating when Bai Song and Sun Jie arrived.
Seeing two new people coming, Zuo Xiaoqin felt a little nervous.
After asking about some of Liu Shuyuan's discussions, Bai Song directly asked Zuo Xiaoqin, "Do you know Li Ruibin and Li Teng well?"
"Neither of them is a good person," Zuo Xiaoqin shook her head, "but I don't know anything else."
"She refused to say this," Liu Shuyuan said. "The local police are also paying attention to these two people and have come to question her. I asked her too, but she just wouldn't say anything."
"Are you shielding her?" Sun Jie asked directly without avoiding Zuo Xiaoqin.
"It doesn't look like she's covering up for someone." Bai Song is very good at judging people. "I just took a look at Zuo Xiaoqin. She's not a smart person. She has a lot of her own ideas and is selfish. But she also has a bottom line that she can break at any time."
"If it can be broken through at any time, what is the bottom line?" Liu Shuyuan immediately responded to Bai Song's words.
"She thinks she's a good person, but she might actually be covering up..."
"Don't talk nonsense," Zuo Xiaoqin said angrily, "Do all you policemen talk like this? What do you know? You, you..."
Zuo Xiaoqin calmed down and found herself at a loss for words. She became anxious, but then she realized that the police were right.
"She's not a bad person. She didn't kill the man." Bai Song looked at Zuo Xiaoqin and said, "People like you are most likely to do stupid things because you are easily influenced by others, and once influenced, you firmly believe in some things."
Bai Song saw Zuo Xiaoqin's indifferent face and said, "You have saved up... ten thousand yuan over the years, right?"
Zuo Xiaoqin had never thought that Bai Song would ask this question, and quickly replied: "I am not short of money! Everyone around me is rich, and my family is rich too."
"I mean," Bai Song said, "at this moment, do you have 10,000 yuan in your phone? Since you are not short of money, you will not use credit cards, Jiebei or Huabei, right?"
"You!" Zuo Xiaoqin seemed to be seen through and put her cell phone closer to herself. She felt that all her secrets had been discovered by Bai Song.
Bai Song actually hadn't looked at her phone, but he could tell by looking at her circle of friends.
The more a person lacks something, the more he fears that others will know that he lacks it.
"Are you afraid of this father and son?" Bai Song asked, "You haven't lived with Li Ruibin before?"
"How could you..." Zuo Xiaoqin found herself speechless and did not dare to continue.
Bai Song revealed his identity again, handed his police ID to Zuo Xiaoqin, and said very seriously: "We are not local police, we are from the department. This is your chance, your only chance. Tell us if you have something to say. This is the only chance to save you."
"You guys?" Zuo Xiaoqin was a cowardly person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. When she saw that these were the leaders from Beijing, she actually "kowtowed" and immediately started to tell the truth, which even stunned Liu Shuyuan.
Is this the aura of a king?
Liu Shuyuan still didn't understand people like Zuo Xiaoqin.
Zuo Xiaoqin kept talking, narrating from beginning to end how she met the scumbag Li Teng, how she was deceived, then threatened, and finally accompanied the father and son.
From Zuo Xiaoqin's confession, Bai Song and the other three could clearly hear that what made Zuo Xiaoqin uncomfortable was not that she had to accompany the father and son, but that not only did this father and son not buy her a bag or a car, they also did not fulfill any of their promises and threatened her, saying that if the matter was exposed, she would be ruined. So she had been being taken advantage of by this father and son for free.
Of course, she still got some clues about the crimes committed by the father and son. Li Ruibin not only evaded taxes, but was also involved in bribery, false litigation and other cases.
Bai Song listened to Zuo Xiaoqin for a long time and suddenly realized that this matter seemed to be wrong. The clues Zuo Xiaoqin knew were all related to other crimes committed by Li Ruibin and his son, which could be packaged and handed over to the local public security bureau and discipline inspection commission. However, she had no idea about the murder of Lin Qing and Lin Liang, and she did not think that these two people would kill anyone.
Moreover, Zuo Xiaoqin made it very clear that if the father and son committed any illegal acts against Lin Qing, they would have been raped first and then killed.
