Flower Museum Headless Dismemberment Case (3)

Meng Siqi was stunned. Didn't the Flower Museum open this morning? It is estimated that half of the people in Jinyang City have gone there to play. This incident seems to be very big, so Team One and Team Two are jointly handling the case.

Her heart immediately rose to her throat and she followed Feng Shaomin out of the office.

When they arrived at the parking lot, Meng Siqi found two police cars had just set off. They should be a team. The three got in the car, Zhao Leiting drove, and sounded the siren.

Along the way, she could vaguely see the police car in front of her. She was full of expectations for her first joint case with Team One. Team One and Team Two had always been a "tiger-lion dispute", but when it came to handling cases, everyone was particularly harmonious, which was why Meng Siqi was looking forward to it.

Moreover, she had heard that Lu He was very capable in solving cases, and she also hoped to learn from him during the process of handling this case.

On the avenue leading to the Flower Museum, several police cars sped away with sirens blaring.

In the frontmost police car, Luo Xiaoguo, Yan Chun and Cai Shuangxi were sitting in the same car.

Luo Xiaoguo, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, said, "Team Two is working with us to solve the case this time. What does Old Liu think?"

Yan Chun replied while driving: "Maybe Director Liu thinks this case is more serious."

"Is it a big deal? This case is obviously about dissatisfaction with the museum's projects. It's either an internal employee or a sociopath. We found the clues and followed the clues to solve the case in three days."

"That's true," Yan Chun said, "but it seems that the Korean team is away on a long trip and won't be back for a while. Maybe Director Liu thinks that their second team is free."

"So we should give them some of the credit for solving the case?" Luo Xiaoguo smiled boredly.

Yan Chun said: "Old Feng is okay, maybe he can help."

Luo Xiaoguo rolled his eyes at him, "Can he do it? He couldn't even utter a word for a long time."

Cai Shuangxi, who was sitting in the back row, leaned towards the front row and said, "I know if Meng Siqi is capable. She was commended when she first came to the bureau. She looks very smart."

Luo Xiaoguo turned away with a cold face, "Cai Shuangxi, straighten your tongue first!"

Cai Shuangxi shrank his neck and said nothing. Yan Chun smiled and said, "Don't blame him, Vice President Luo. He and Meng Siqi both like Martini!"

Luo Xiaoguo didn't know what had offended him, and said with disdain: "Do you really think that winning the award will solve the case? Everyone has a bit of luck. A girl in her twenties, it's okay for her to deliver documents. She doesn't know that our police department's god, Lu Dui, is here! Just wait and see if she can say anything useful during the whole process."

"That's for sure," Cai Shuangxi said with a genial personality, "Team Lu is here, so this case will only take three days."

Cai Shuangxi guessed that Luo Xiaoguo must still be upset about last year's award ceremony. In previous years, Team One always won an individual award, but last year, Team Two won two, and this team took all the limelight. Luo Xiaoguo was the deputy team leader, with a strong team spirit and personal self-esteem, so he must be unwilling to accept it.

Especially the new female police officer Meng Siqi, no one would have thought that she would be able to solve the case, so Luo Xiaoguo must have thought that she was just lucky.

The Flower Museum is not in the main city area, but on the edge of the city, but it is also a relatively prosperous area.

The car drove for more than half an hour and arrived directly in front of the main entrance of the museum. Meng Siqi saw a sea of ​​people from the car window. Many tourists who came to the exhibition today were still lingering nearby and did not leave. They might be looking for an explanation because they did not get a good deal for the tickets they bought, or they might be paying attention to this case out of curiosity. Of course, there must be many people coming to see the excitement.

In any case, no matter what the situation is, this case must be a hot topic in Jinyang City, which has put tremendous pressure on the police station.

A cordon was set up in front of the entire museum entrance, and many police officers were standing guard there to maintain order.

Meng Siqi got off the car and saw from a distance a group of people led by Lu He walking into the crowd and entering the cordon.

The crowd was surrounding a tall round building, about two or three stories high. It was a fashionable building in that era. Its exterior was inlaid with large pieces of glass, reflecting the sunlight and shining with gold.

There was a long banner hanging above the gate, which roughly read "Jinyang Flower Museum Exhibition".

Feng Shaomin walked quickly, followed closely by Meng Siqi. The crowd automatically made way for him, and the sound of tourists' discussions could be heard.

"There's no head in the box. It's really scary."

"Do you have the courage to go and see it?"

"I heard it from them too. When I went to see it, there were many reporters taking pictures and the police came over and chased them away immediately."

"I heard it was cut into several pieces. It's terrible."

"I've paid for the ticket, but I haven't even visited the site yet."

"For something like this, the ticket will definitely be refunded."

Amid the discussion, Zhao Leiting helped Meng Siqi lift the cordon, and she immediately went in. The police at the door had a stern expression, and despite the crowds and noise outside, no one dared to approach the cordon.

Occasionally, flash lights flashed in the crowd, probably because some reporters came here later to take pictures but were stopped by the police.

The entrance to the museum is a glass double door with a red carpet on the floor. The three of them walked in one after another, and what came into view was a world of sea of ​​flowers.

The sea of ​​flowers is colorful, and all kinds of flowers make the entire museum colorful. The museum is more like a small square. In addition to being surrounded by flowers, the square is also equipped with many flower stands and flower beds of various shapes. Visitors can appreciate the beauty of flowers while walking through them.

There are snack and drink stalls interspersed between the flower stands or flower beds to meet the needs of tourists when enjoying the flowers.

It is said that this flower museum will be open for a long time, and the first day will definitely be grand. In the future, flowers of various seasons will be arranged for tourists to visit.

In 1995, Jinyang City was on the track of rapid economic development. Attracting investment was an inevitable strategy for Jinyang City. Haijiang Province is a city by the sea. Jinyang City is the farthest from the sea, but the natural environment of mountains and forests is excellent. Therefore, flowers are used as a promotional label in the city.

In the center of the Museum Square, there is a large area where a group of people are gathered.

Meng Siqi's gaze quickly shifted from the sea of ​​flowers to them.

Most of them were wearing police uniforms. There were forensic doctors in white uniforms working, and trace examiners busy with trace examination equipment and cameras. There were also many police officers and a team of criminal police, including Luo Xiaoguo, Cai Shuangxi, Liang Yunfeng, Yan Chun, etc.

The three of them walked briskly and soon reached the center of the square. After a policeman called out "Brother Feng", everyone made way for him and Meng Siqi saw Lu He with his hands in the pockets of his brown leather jacket.

His movements seemed graceful, but his cheeks were deep and his eyes seemed to be capturing light, focusing on the scene in front of him.

Meng Siqi followed his gaze and saw several pots of flowers on a four-wheeled cart.

There was a box next to the cart, and it was open. Meng Siqi saw white skin and bloody things inside at a glance, but his vision was far away and he could not see the specific information clearly.

Because the floral scent in the museum was so strong, there was almost no noticeable smell of blood.

In the inner circle, the forensic team was conducting an intense inspection, blocking most of the view. Trace examiners were busy surrounding the forensic doctor. A team of members and police officers were in the outer circle. It must be Lu He who gave the order to let the forensic doctor and trace examiner check first.

He was standing at the front of the outer circle, observing the situation on the scene.

Among the forensic doctors, Meng Siqi saw Chen Jierong, who was wearing a snow-white uniform and squatting on the ground, working diligently.

At this time Feng Shaomin walked into the outer circle. Lu He seemed to notice it and tilted his head slightly. Feng Shaomin called out "Team Lu".

Lu He nodded slightly, "Old Feng."

The two did not communicate much and were silent throughout the whole process.

After ten or twenty minutes, the scene became increasingly quiet and solemn, as if this murder case was destined to be a complicated one.

The noise of the huge crowds outside the museum and the news that may soon appear in major newspapers and tabloids will make the city no longer peaceful.

"Team Route." Chen Jierong stood up slowly. Perhaps because she had been squatting for too long during the inspection, her body was shaking slightly.

Lu He walked forward and reached out to help her, but was stopped by Chen Jierong with a "no need" gesture.

Chen Jierong calmly looked at the deceased again, preparing to describe the situation at the scene. Lu He stood still, as if to listen.

Chen Jierong introduced: "You can see the situation. The body was cut into five parts, and the limbs were removed from the body. Judging from the incisions on the bones, it was probably cut with a sharp blade, such as a bone cutter. Before cutting the body, the murderer may have simply bled the deceased. The skin we saw was very pale. There was not much blood in the box, and it was wrapped in a foam bag, so we did not see much blood around the box."

"Also, the head of the deceased was removed and was not in the suitcase. Judging from the space in the suitcase, there might be no room for the head. However, the fabric of this suitcase is very elastic, so if the head is put in, it can be squeezed in. Maybe the murderer didn't want to destroy the crowded space. It is also possible that the murderer was worried that others would recognize the identity of the deceased, so he deliberately left the head and dealt with it separately."

"From the condition of the body, it should be a female between 20 and 30 years old. The exact age and cause of death are difficult to confirm at the moment, and we need to go back for a further autopsy."

"Can the time of death be confirmed now?" Lu He asked in a low voice.

"Blood loss, the body being damaged, and being moved over long distances will cause the body spots to shift, and new body spots may appear. We cannot fully confirm the time of death yet, so let's wait for the autopsy results."

Lu He said: "Do you feel that judging from the placement of the body parts, the murderer may have severe obsessive-compulsive disorder?"

Chen Jierong nodded, "It's possible."

"Wang Wei, what are the inspection results on the suitcase and trolley?" Lu He asked.

Wang Wei, a member of the Trace Inspection Division, who was squatting next to the box, tightened his gloves and looked up to answer: "According to the current inspection, there are many fingerprints on the box, but they are not necessarily the murderer's, because the person who discovered the scene at the time opened the box, and the same is true for the trolley. There are too many fingerprints, so they are not worth much to detect. There are too many people here, so the footprints on the ground are even less valuable."

It seems that the situation of trace examination is not optimistic, and we can only hope for autopsy and interviews.

Lu He looked calm and asked a policeman, "Xiao Zheng, are there any witnesses?"

The police officer named Xiao Zheng said: "Road team, when we were blocking the scene, we heard someone say that a man dressed in ugly clothes pushed a cart. The security guards and ticket inspectors who are in charge of entry and exit today are waiting to be questioned. They are in the tent at the entrance."

It seems that this little bastard may be an important suspect, but we cannot make such a conclusion before confirmation.

"Is there maybe a video or photo of the suspect?" Lu He asked.

Meng Siqi could see that Lu He's thoughts were very calm. When she came over just now, she found that Lu He was looking up at something, perhaps he was observing whether there was any video equipment in the room.

The Flower Museum is a key city project. Although the usage rate of cameras is very low in this era, it is not ruled out that they will be used in this important occasion.

Some people looked up because of Lu He's words. The whole museum is a single-story structure with a very high roof. There are huge lights on the roof, which should be convenient for nighttime lighting, but there are indeed no cameras.

"Liang Yunfeng, please check with the museum manager to see if there is any video equipment in the room."

Liang Yunfeng immediately replied: "Okay, team leader."

"Is it possible to identify the suspect's characteristics as soon as possible?" Lu He raised a new question again.

The suspect is dressed ugly, perhaps intentionally hiding his features. But even if he is ugly, his height, weight, walking posture, and certain image features may be the key to solving the case.

Everyone fell silent for a moment. Luo Xiaoguo smacked his lips, as if trying to attract other people's attention. He said in a loud voice: "Team Road, I will contact the portrait artist immediately and ask a few witnesses to quickly draw Xiao Chou's face. Xiao Chou's appearance at that time may have attracted some attention. The security guards and ticket inspectors should have seen Xiao Chou's face. There is a high probability that the drawing will be correct."

Following this line of thought, it is indeed possible to draw the suspect's appearance, which is a normal procedure for solving a case.

Just as everyone was getting ready to act, a fair and pretty wrist was slightly raised.

Everyone couldn't help but look in that direction, and saw a fresh and pretty female police officer raising her hand. Her expression was very calm, but her eyes were bright and she looked smart.

Lu He also noticed him at a glance, and her eyes were looking at him. Their eyes met immediately, and Lu He could see the persistence and intelligence in her eyes. In his many years as a police officer, he rarely saw such pure and bright light in other people's eyes.

She should be observing the situation at the scene and analyzing the details at the scene at all times.

He had known her for some time and had a very good impression of her. He wanted to hear her opinion and immediately asked, "Meng Siqi, do you have anything to say?"

Luo Xiaoguo and Yan Chun looked at each other and gave each other smiles that only they understood. In such an important and solemn occasion, Luo Xiaoguo simply did not believe that a young policewoman who had just graduated from the police force could say anything valuable.

Besides, he had considered everything he should consider. He couldn't help but look at Meng Siqi's small face with curiosity. The little girl was very fair and beautiful, but as a criminal police officer, she looked a little young.
