Chapter 73: Couple Butcher: Electric Shock Murder
The autopsy report came out quickly, and Mu Mian made a report at the morning meeting:
"Based on the decay characteristics of the corpse, it is estimated that the deceased died about 2 to 3 days ago, that is, between October 27th and October 28th.
We found electric current spots and skin metallization on the arms of both deceased. Their deaths were related to electric shock, but the causes of death were different.
The male deceased died of cardiac arrest. When the strong electric current passed through the deceased's heart, it disturbed the normal rhythm of the heart and caused the deceased to have cardiac arrest. The female deceased died of organ failure. When the electric current passed through the body of the deceased, it caused damage to her internal tissues and organs, resulting in pulmonary edema and pulmonary hemorrhage.
We found abrasions on the wrists and ankles of both victims, which should have been caused by rope binding. It is reasonable to guess that the murderer should have tied up the hands and feet of the deceased and then electrocuted them.
The skin near the current spot is yellow-brown, which means that the electrode in contact with the skin is a copper conductor. "
After listening to Mu Mian's report, everyone fell into a brief silence.
"My God, is this murderer really abusing this couple? Electrocuting people to death is so perverted!" someone exclaimed.
Fang Rui introduced the case that happened in Linzhou City to everyone: "A similar case happened in our neighboring city, and the murderer also specialized in killing couples, but the murderer has never been caught."
After reading the case information, everyone gasped.
"Captain Fang, the wasteland where the body was found is just on the edge of our city, very close. Could the murderer have already fled to our Jiangzhou?" said an old policeman.
Mu Mian looked at the case information. Because the body was severely decomposed when it was found, the forensic doctor at the time only left a vague autopsy report, and the cause of death was not determined.
Mu Mian found that the deceased named Tian Xin was very special because the autopsy report of the deceased mentioned her cause of death: the deceased had multiple knife wounds on the chest and abdomen, and the cause of death was suspected to be aortic rupture leading to massive bleeding; the cause of death of the other three deceased was unknown.
"But the cause of death of Tian Xin is different. She did not die of electric shock," Mu Mian raised her doubts, "She was stabbed many times and died of heavy bleeding."
"Isn't the murderer in these two cases the same person?" Xiao Zhang questioned, "Otherwise why did he change his killing method?"
"It is also possible that an accident happened during the crime process." Mu Mian added, "For example, he failed to control the victim, or for some other reason."
Fang Rui thought for a while and said, "Let's not investigate these two cases together, let's investigate the case of Wang Jie and Zhang Shuochen independently first."
Mu Mian was very interested in the corpse in the Linzhou case. She kept pestering Fang Rui and asked him to take her to the next city to find the corpses.
"Fang Rui, drive me to Linzhou quickly. I've checked the map and we can get there in three hours."
"Mu Mian, you may not be able to dissect those bodies."
"Why? The case hasn't been solved and the murderer hasn't been caught. Didn't they freeze the bodies?" Mu Mian felt very frustrated. There should be a lot of clues on those bodies.
"Those bodies have been taken back by their families for cremation."
"They are so unprofessional!"
For this reason, Mu Mian was very unhappy all day. At noon, she ate in the cafeteria with Chen Xue, and Xiao Zhang also came over with his plate.
"Forensic Doctor Mu, what's wrong with you today? Why are you so unhappy?"
Mu Mian buried her head in her meal. She didn't want to socialize now.
"Someone cremated the corpse she liked, and she was very unhappy!" Chen Xue shrugged and said helplessly.
"Oh, don't worry, I already have a very good idea, which will definitely make the murderer fall into the trap!" Xiao Zhang said mysteriously.
Chen Xue interrupted him with disgust, "Xiao Zhang, although I don't know what your method is, I have known from your obscene expression that this should be a bad idea."
"Chen Xue..." Xiao Zhang looked at her aggrievedly, with an expression that said "hurry up and let me speak."
Chen Xue said helplessly: "Just tell me, I promise not to attack you!"
"This murderer must be a pervert who hates couples showing off their affection, right?"
"Isn't that nonsense? Get to the point!"
Xiao Zhang put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "We can find a very loving couple and have them show off their affection on TV every day. In this way, the murderer will definitely jump out and kill the couple. We just need to wait and see!"
"This idea is actually quite good."
"Yeah, I think it's best to find an internet celebrity to cooperate with. They can take advantage of the popularity and we can catch the murderer, the best of both worlds." Xiao Zhang added.
Mu Mian thought they were so noisy. She couldn't help but pour cold water on them: "What if they die?"
"..."
Xiao Zhang quickly revised his strategy: "What if the people in our bureau show off their love? In this way, if the murderer attacks us, we will also have the ability to resist."
"But who should we choose?"
Mu Mian looked at Chen Xue, and then at Xiao Zhang. She felt that Chen Xue had become very strange recently, for example, now she was singing the same tune with Xiao Zhang, and for example, Chen Xue had smiled foolishly at the corpse for no reason before - Chen Xue has been very abnormal recently!
Xiao Zhang saw Mu Mian looking at them seriously, thinking that Mu Mian was recommending him and Chen Xue, he said in embarrassment: "You want me and Chen Xue to show our affection?"
Chen Xue blushed: "We are not suitable, right? If we show our affection, the murderer will not be angry, but will find it funny, right?"
"We use less words and more eyes, maybe it can really stimulate the murderer." Xiao Zhang said in a serious tone, "We can learn from Wang Jie and see how she shows her affection."
"Then how can we let the murderer see us showing our affection?"
"Let's also follow Wang Jie and open an account called 'The Wonderful Life of the Little Forensic Doctor and the Little Policeman'."
"Good idea!" Chen Xue nodded in agreement, and then began to discuss the details of their plan with Xiao Zhang.
Mu Mian suddenly found herself isolated by the two of them.
She wanted to say something to increase her participation, but was interrupted every time. She could only stare blankly at them as they made their strange plan called the murderer trapping plan, but in fact it was not feasible.
"Mu Mian, why don't you eat?" Chen Xue asked distractedly when she saw Mu Mian walking away with a plate in a depressed mood.
"I'm full!"
Chen Xue wanted to say something to Mu Mian, but was soon pulled away by Xiao Zhang to discuss their plan.
Mu Mian returned to the office depressed. She lost the body she wanted to dissect very much, and Chen Xue not only did not comfort her, but also isolated her together with Xiao Zhang. She is very unhappy now!
"For you!" Fang Rui handed Mu Mian a USB flash drive, "Inside are the autopsy photos of the deceased Xi Ming and the video of the autopsy process. I finally asked my classmates from the Municipal Bureau next door for it."
"Fang Rui, thank you!" Mu Mian suddenly became happy. She immediately turned on the computer and started looking at the photos.
"Where's Chen Xue?" Fang Rui felt very strange. Chen Xue used to stick to Mu Mian, but recently no one knew where she went.
"She is with Xiao Zhang," Mu Mian answered distractedly, "they were discussing the details of the plan to capture the murderer. It was boring. I didn't want to listen, so I came back."
"You don't understand?"
Mu Mian turned around and looked at Fang Rui with an unhappy expression, but she still nodded: "Yes! They want to lure out the murderer by showing their affection. This plan is too unfeasible."
"Why do you think it's not feasible?" Fang Rui also thought that Xiao Zhang's idea was quite outrageous.
"They are not a real couple, how could the murderer be fooled by them?" Mu Mian explained while watching the autopsy video, "The murderer wanted to catch real couples, so he would definitely be able to tell what kind of couple is real. Fake couples like Xiao Zhang and Chen Xue would definitely be exposed at a glance!"
"Didn't you notice that Xiao Zhang and Chen Xue were secretly in love?"
Mu Mian paused the video and looked at Fang Rui in confusion: "Impossible!"
"Why?"
"If they were in love, why didn't they tell me?" Mu Mian was a little unhappy, "I am so strict with my mouth, I won't tell anyone."
"Maybe they think some things don't need to be said because everyone can see it."
"I didn't see it!"
"That's a good thing. This way you don't have to endure their display of affection every day." Fang Rui comforted her, "I'm so annoyed by Xiao Zhang. Last weekend he called me in the middle of the night and asked me what kind of clothes would look good on him. How would I know that? Look, you don't have this kind of trouble."
"Then I'll continue to pretend I don't know."
Mu Mian's words just now suddenly reminded Fang Rui. If the murderer really picked those couples specifically, then what was his standard for selecting couples? And how did he get to know these couples?
"Fang Rui, look at the teeth of these three dead people, they are rose-colored."
