The contradictions in this case are very obvious.
If it is suicide, there is no reason to commit suicide.
If it was homicide, there is no motive for the murder.
To break it down, although this person is single, it does not necessarily mean that he cannot find a wife. Instead, he may have a bad reputation and have unclear relationships with many women in the village or other villages. For a person like this who has adopted a child and is in good financial condition, the reason for suicide is very far-fetched.
If it was homicide, the motive would be hard to say. No money was missing from the house, so only the little girl and the village committee would have a motive for committing a crime, but there is no way to prove it.
The most important thing is that they died from drinking pesticides...
Bai Song analyzed the case carefully and found that being bewitched by the "leader" could explain the case. It was no wonder that the locals reported the situation to them.
If he was bewitched, then suicide is understandable. If the money was not handed over, it is not impossible because it is too far away and they may not be so short of money over there.
But based on Bai Song's understanding of human nature...
A man like this, who is considered a "dissolute man" in the village, can really believe in religion? Even Bai Song believed what he said when he preached!
…
But this cannot be said directly, after all, there is no basis for it.
"Judging from the walking postures, slow step distances, shoe sizes, etc. of several of them, there were four women's footprints in this house a few days ago, one of whom should be the adopted daughter." Wang Huadong said, "I will be able to provide the approximate height, weight and age of these people later."
"Hmm..." Bai Song said, "Don't worry, just take your time."
"It's easy inside the house, but it's hard to find clues outside. Didn't the deceased have been dead for more than a day? With this wind and snow, it's really hard." Wang Huadong said, "This requires professional cold-proof clothing and cold-proof gloves. Otherwise, I can hold on for half an hour. I have a strong willpower."
"There's no need for us to suffer this. I'll find a way." Bai Song said.
The deceased and the adopted daughter did not live in the same house. Sometimes the adopted daughter would go to herd sheep in the morning. Of course, it was icy and snowy now, so it was impossible for her to go out to herd sheep. She could just feed the sheep with grass or something.
After all, an adopted daughter is not a biological daughter, so she has to do some chores here and has an average relationship with her adoptive father.
Yesterday morning, the adopted daughter got up and went out to feed the sheep. Because the fodder was heavy, it took her more than an hour. After feeding the sheep, she heated up something to eat and then read a book in her room.
At night, before she saw her adoptive father come out for dinner, she discovered that he was dead. She ran to the village committee. The villagers came over to take a look and called the police.
No one, including the adopted daughter, entered the deceased's bedroom yesterday. After seeing that the person was dead, no one went in, including the adopted daughter. Because the deceased's death appearance is very scary, there is a smell of garlic at the scene, the corpse spots are dark in color, the body is very stiff, and the body is in a corpse state. Anyone who sees it will be scared, let alone an 11-year-old girl.
Because of this, it seemed much easier for Wang Huadong to inspect the deceased's bedroom.
Moreover, after visiting some neighbors, it was found that the relationship between the little girl and her adoptive father was indeed average. The man always asked the little girl to feed and herd sheep. It seemed that he was adopting a girl and was just raising a free worker.
But the little girl still kept working like this. For her, it was really good to have a place to eat and live, and a place for her to go to school.
It is said that the little girl is still in a trance, so Bai Song did not go to see her immediately.
…
The investigation site is naturally perfect and optimal, but the objective environment is still frustrating. If this is a murder case, the murderer must have left the house after killing someone. We have already searched the area near the door very carefully, and we can see almost everything on the wall.
There are some stone walls here, which are built directly with stones. The height is not very high, about 1.7 or 1.8 meters. Unless you are a high jump champion, there must be traces of climbing, but this has not been found so far.
…
At this moment, there was some additional progress on Sun Jie's side.
The local authorities previously believed it was suicide and did not conduct a detailed investigation. However, even if they are starting to take it seriously now, the county’s power is still weak. Originally, Political Commissar Wang intended to take the body to the city for a detailed autopsy, but he has not been taken away yet. I'll go over there after Sun Jie has inspected it.
Political Commissar Wang and the county officials all thought that Sun Jie was just there to take a look, but they didn't know that he was actually a real expert. In less than ten minutes, he corrected several errors for the county's forensic doctor.
Technical issues are different from discussing case details. One is one and two is two.
Where does forensic experience come from? The first thing is of course to experience more on-site scenes, and the second is to learn more. Sun Jie has always had these two aspects.
In particular, Sun Jie has been studying the impact of special environments, changing environments, and environments with drastic temperature changes on corpses. He has written some papers and it will be time to submit them to Science magazine after this period of time.
Originally, the county did not plan to perform an autopsy and wanted to send the body to the city for autopsy, but when Sun Jie arrived, they performed an autopsy right away since it was not a big deal.
A bachelor, no relatives (adopted daughter cannot be identified), caesarean section!
By testing the stomach contents, intestinal contents, body contents near the exit, etc., it was found that the death was indeed caused by pesticides.
"From the current situation, the deceased died of pesticide poisoning. The poisoning drug is consistent with the ingredients in the medicine bottle found at the scene. This is an organophosphorus insecticide, and the deceased drank more than 300 milliliters. In addition, the deceased also drank some wine. According to the clues we have obtained before, the deceased drank every night. Organophosphorus insecticides are very irritating to the human body. Excitement will occur in the early stage. Due to the stimulation and excitement of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves, the body's internal organs, skeletal muscles, sweat glands, etc. are abnormally excited, and there is a lot of sweating, muscle paralysis, vomiting, and diarrhea. This is also consistent with the situation at the scene; the deceased's clothes are damp due to sweating, bronchitis, muscle paralysis, dark corpse spots, large stiffness, and pupil constriction, which are also consistent with the symptoms of organophosphorus poisoning." Sun Jie talked to the local forensic doctor for a long time.
This shows that Sun Jie has a solid foundation. Logically speaking, he would hardly encounter such a suicide in Tianhua City. There were no pesticides available for urban suicides, so many people just jumped off buildings, but Sun Jie could still remember it clearly.
After Sun Jie finished his thorough investigation, Bai Song had been waiting for a long time, so he immediately told Bai Song the situation.
…
Bai Song, after listening to Sun Jie's detailed explanation, looked at Hua Dong and asked, "Do you think this case was suicide or homicide?"
"Since you asked this, it must be homicide...but the scene doesn't support it..." Wang Huadong shook his head: "According to the on-site investigation, it was suicide."
"Then have you ever thought about this question?" Bai Song asked curiously, "It's a very simple and stupid question. This is a herdsman. Why does he have medicine for preventing and treating plant diseases, insects and weeds at home? In fact, this is a pastoral area, and such medicine is hard to buy."
