Chapter 012 Crime Scene
When Wei Qingzheng arrived at the scene, the corpse had already taken on the appearance of a giant, and the foul stench filled the entire room and the corridor outside.
The onlookers had already dispersed because of the stench. After all, the smell was so strong that it could still be felt even after washing.
"Where is the person who reported the case?" Wei Qingzheng covered his mouth and nose with a gauze mask because the smell was really strong. After adjusting for a while, he turned to the policeman next to him and asked.
They are the serious crime squad, and the police who received the call were from the nearby streets.
Now that the forensic doctor has entered the scene for investigation, he decided to first interview the person who reported the case before entering the scene to see the specific situation.
The person who reported the case was a middle-aged man. When the police officer stretched out his hand to grab his arm and led him forward, he followed the trend and said while trying to hold back the stench: "I reported the case. I am the owner of the shop downstairs. There has been a stench around for the past two days. I followed the smell and found that it was from the floor above me, so I knocked on the door and prepared to argue with the other party and ask him to clean up."
"Then you didn't call anyone, so you forced someone else's door open, and found out the owner of the house was dead, so you called the police?" Wei Qing was frowning as he looked at the shop owner who had a ferocious face and a green dragon tattoo on his arm.
The middle-aged man pulled the corner of his mouth and avoided Wei Qingzheng's gaze. "I just... I just thought that people fall asleep from time to time. I didn't expect it."
He had done some petty thefts before, and since he knew some gangsters, he wanted to go in and "talk reason" with them.
Wei Qingzheng nodded, looked at the shoe prints on the ground, and then looked at the paint that had been knocked off the side of the lock. "The shoe prints are yours, but where's the paint?"
The middle-aged man stepped forward and took a look. "The paint fell off because I'm not good at unlocking the door and I got angry and bumped into the door twice."
"So this door is closed tightly?" Wei Qingzheng asked.
The middle-aged man nodded.
Wei Qingzheng waved his hand to let the other party leave.
The teammate who was recording behind him stepped forward and said, "The door didn't show any signs of damage, so the murderer could be someone the deceased knew?"
Wei Qingzheng didn't say anything, but continued to observe the scene in the room.
At this moment, the forensic doctor was uncovering the deceased's bedding, which was soaked with black and yellow soup.
The deceased was lying flat on the bed, his whole body rotten, smelly and bloody.
Seeing this scene, the young policeman following Wei Qingzheng rushed out.
Three seconds later, continuous vomiting sounds were heard.
Even the battle-hardened forensic doctor in the room looked pale and obviously in great pain.
Wei Qingzheng was trying to hold back the physical discomfort caused by the vision and stared at Zhou Qiang's body on the bed.
According to his experience, the deceased had been dead for more than five days, and the body had rotted and smelled because the weather had been fine in the past few days.
Coupled with the densely packed circular wounds on his body that looked like fish scales, the whole scene was horrific.
His first instinct was that it was a revenge murder, or that the murderer was a psychopath with a very strong psychological quality.
Thinking of this possibility, Wei Qingzheng's face turned extremely ugly.
Because if such a person is not arrested and brought to justice as soon as possible, and is allowed to remain active in Jiangcheng, similar cases will occur in the future.
In other words, it has happened or is happening.
The detective who had been vomiting because of discomfort calmed down and walked in from outside. He looked at Wei Qingzheng with an uncomfortable expression, "Brother Wei, do you have any clues? Where should we start?"
Wei Qing was looking at the state of the corpse, his eyes fell on the wounds on the limbs, and he looked at his forensic colleague and said, "What is the preliminary diagnosis of the deceased's cause of death?"
The forensic doctor put the blanket in his hand away and looked at Wei Qingzheng. "Our preliminary investigation shows that the cause of death was excessive blood loss. The major arteries in his limbs were cut. The deceased was tied up and tortured to death due to excessive blood loss."
"What about the time of death?" Wei Qingzheng asked again.
The forensic doctor pondered for a moment, then looked at the body and said, "It should have been five days ago, between 12:00 p.m. on the 21st and 6:00 a.m. the next day. The exact time still needs further autopsy."
Wei Qingzheng nodded slightly, signaling the forensic doctor to continue, while he began to check the surrounding environment.
The police followed him and the two of them investigated together.
Wei Qingzheng could obviously sense that the murderer was a person with a certain level of cultural literacy and anti-detection skills, because apart from traces of a fight, all other traces in the room were of the deceased.
He opened the curtains with gloves on, and the sunlight shone in from outside.
Wei Qingzheng's eyes fell on the huge platform in Zhou Qiang's house. There were some flowers and plants planted on it, but many of them were withered, and it was obvious that Zhou Qiang had not taken care of them.
According to investigation records, this person bought the house a few months ago, and these withered flowers and plants were most likely left by the previous owner.
He turned and walked out of the living room and stood on the platform.
There was a street outside the platform. As the two walked, Wei Qingzheng's eyes fell on the small bumps on the wall.
He squatted down and carefully examined the marks on it.
Finally he confirmed that the murderer entered Zhou Qiang's house from here.
"Zhao Sheng, go investigate Zhou Qiang's social connections, retrieve the surveillance footage nearby, check the surveillance footage from the early morning of the 21st, screen out the suspects, and then ask people around if anyone has been staying nearby in recent days." Wei Qingzheng stood up and quickly said to his colleague behind him.
Zhao Sheng nodded, turned and left.
Wei Qing was standing here, looking towards Zhou Qiang's master bedroom.
He had a hunch that he had met an extremely formidable opponent.
He observed the scene for a while and got the information that all the family finances were lost. Zhao Sheng also brought Zhou Qiang's social connections.
Wei Qing looked at the information about a man who also came from Lincheng and was wanted by the Lincheng police like Wang Shun. He could be described as extremely vicious and cruel, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
Could these two cases, with different modus operandi, be committed by the same murderer?
He looked at the person whose body had been collected by the forensic doctor and carried out of the room, then lowered his head to check how the bed was tied.
In the previous case of a body being dumped in the river, when they picked up the rope that tied the body bag, he still remembered how to tie the bag.
He compared them and found that they were tied in the same way.
But this does not prove that the two cases can be investigated together.
Because the way the other person tied the rope is a method that many people use in daily life.
In order to investigate the case together, he needs to find more evidence.
He turned around and got into the Criminal Police Brigade's car.
He decided to start from Lincheng.
If the other party is consistent in the victim, then the next person to take action may be someone from Lincheng.
Especially those who have committed homicide.
He quickly asked someone to contact the Lincheng police to connect with some people who might have fled to Jiangcheng.
Jiangcheng has a port and a dense population. It has been in a period of development in the past two years. It is very likely that the other party will find similar people to target again.
Especially those who know Wang Shun and Zhou Qiang.
…
Ye Sangsang didn't know that Wei Qingzheng had already started from Lin Cheng. After confirming that the police had found the body, she found out about Jiang Jiansheng's information through certain channels.
She was somewhat looking forward to it. If the mission did not allow it, she might have written a letter to Wei Qingzheng to predict her activities in advance.
Thinking about his own behavior, Ye Sangsang suddenly remembered that the doctor who treated him seemed to have said that this was a characteristic of a high-risk person.
These are the traits of a high-IQ criminal, including the tendency to return to the scene where the crime took place.
She touched her nose, feeling guilty for contradicting the doctor.
It seems that she is indeed a little abnormal.
But that's not the case anymore. She began looking for an opportunity to get close to Jiang Jiansheng and trigger the mission.
What was different this time from the last time was that this time Ye Sangsang had roughly predicted the possible method of committing the crime.
Wang Shun was the one who smashed Sun Bin's daughter to death, and Zhou Qiang tortured her.
Ye Sangsang didn't believe the wounds the other party mentioned. This man was as perverted as she was, and it was likely that he had inflicted many wounds with a knife.
People always tend to glorify themselves, and in front of her father, the victim, they will definitely downplay the important issues.
As for not breaking the opponent's hands and feet, Ye Sangsang guessed that it was done by Jiang Jiansheng or Wang Zhi.
The two of them matched each other in terms of cutting off their limbs and dismembering their bodies.
I just don't know what the exact match is.
Ye Sangsang wanted to match the amputation first. She was a person who liked to suffer first and then enjoy the sweetness. To her, amputation was a relatively less exciting option, which meant "bitterness".
What surprised Ye Sangsang was that Lin Shu had changed in the past two days.
She was visibly in a better mood, and she was able to have dinner when she returned.
Although the timeline jumped several times, Ye Sangsang could still feel the changes that had taken place in the other person's heart.
She couldn't quite understand these emotions, but she was smart enough to know that it was because of revenge.
She felt that the couple loved their daughter very much.
When Ye Sangsang thought of the word love, she felt a little strange in her heart because she didn't know how to understand it.
Emotions are truly precious things to her.
She had never lost anything, but when she heard the expression on the doctor's face when he mentioned it, she thought it was a good thing.
Precious, rare, unknown.
This was enough to arouse Ye Sangsang's curiosity.
As for curiosity, it was the only thing Ye Sangsang had, something called emotion.
Lin Shu's performance also made her understand these things.
She feels that this is a secondary reason why she plays games.
The main reason is to release the surging "interest" in one's heart.
With this mood, Ye Sangsang set out to look for Jiang Jiansheng.
Her mission, she came.
When Ye Sangsang thought of this, he felt extremely happy.
However, this beauty only lasted until she saw Wei Qingzheng.
Police and criminals are natural enemies.
