It's midnight. The lights were all far away, and this was just a remote, dark path. Next to it is the Yuelu Mountains. The road was surrounded by weeds that were almost as tall as a person. At this point, the grass was splattered with blood.
Even from a distance, You Mingxu could smell the blood, which made him feel stuffy. Yin Feng, who was following beside her, had a peaceful expression on his face, like a big wild flower by the roadside.
You Mingxu suddenly thought that it was quite good for him the way he was now, ignorant and fearless, even when facing blood, the world was full of innocence. He said so confidently that he didn't have a good life in the past, so maybe he is really happier now? What's wrong with keeping it this way?
So You Mingxu waved his hand and said, "Follow me closely." The crime scene would not allow him to run around.
He nodded quickly, took a step forward, and almost stuck to her back, like a huge human pendant: "Is this...tight enough?"
You Mingxu's forehead twitched, and his previous sympathetic mood disappeared: "Back off! I didn't ask you to stick to me!"
The body was discovered by a worker who took a shortcut to work the night shift. At that time, the worker was still in shock as he took his statement. Xu Mengshan and Fan Jia arrived early, and were stunned when they saw You Mingxu and Yin Feng appear. However, You Mingxu had no intention of explaining at all. He put on gloves and walked straight towards the corpse.
Yin Feng smiled at Xu Mengshan and others. The policemen looked at the shining provincial and ministerial expert certificate hanging on the chest of his light yellow Superman T-shirt, and remained silent. In fact, there was no time to bother with such an idle person.
The deceased was lying on the ground with several stab wounds in the back. Judging from his stature and appearance, he is a young man. The ground was covered in blood, and the knife wounds were in disarray, making it look even more tattered and tragic. He almost became a blur of blood.
What was even more cruel was that the deceased's face had been chopped off several times, and he no longer looked like a human being, but rather a mass of mud.
You Mingxu squatted in front of the corpse, looked at it for a long time, and suppressed the nausea and suffocation feeling in his heart. She said: "The murderer attacked from behind. The first cut was very deep, instantly making the deceased unable to move. Then the murderer stabbed several times in a row. The deceased was not even able to turn around. There was no wound on the front and he fell directly to the ground."
She glanced and her eyes fell on the men's wallet next to the body. It was half-worn, stained with blood, and made of shoddy imitation leather of a famous brand. When she opened it, she found that it was empty and stained with a little blood.
"The murderer took everything in the wallet," You Mingxu said. "No cellphone was found at the scene, so it must have been taken away as well. He also slashed the victim's face several times, disfiguring her. He then fled."
After she finished talking to herself, she looked at Yin Feng who was squatting on the other side of the corpse. I was thinking what the hell I was doing, and I subconsciously shared my thoughts with him. Do you really regard him as your partner? Where did Xu Mengshan go?
Yin Feng listened very seriously, nodded, and smiled brightly beside the bloody corpse: "Ah Xu said everything that was in my head."
You Mingxu turned his head away, too lazy to communicate with him.
Then he added: "But I have one more sentence than you."
"What?"
"Destroying the deceased's appearance is either to delay the confirmation of the deceased's identity. Or, it is to rob the deceased of his identity and personality. I guess it is the latter."
You Mingxu looked at the dead man's face again and said nothing.
The identity of the deceased was indeed confirmed very quickly.
Because he had a work ID card in his shirt pocket. Based on the information on the work permit, the police asked relevant people from the factory to identify the deceased, and it was almost confirmed that the deceased was a technician at the factory. Accurate DNA and fingerprint identification results can be obtained within a few hours.
According to the information on his work permit, his name is Xu Jiayuan, he is 25 years old, from Yuanling County, Hunan Province, and has been working in this factory for more than two years. According to feedback from the factory, he was not working the night shift tonight, and someone saw him playing cards in a dormitory with several co-workers. He did not live in the factory, but rented a house in a nearby town with several workers because life there was more convenient. This path is a shortcut from the factory to the farmhouse he rented.
Xu Mengshan was responsible for contacting the factory, and soon received confirmation: Xu Jiayuan and the five friends played cards until after 10 o'clock tonight. Because he lost several hundred yuan, he lost interest and left the factory to go home. This also matches the time of death initially inferred by the forensic doctor, which means that it is confirmed that he was killed while taking a shortcut on his way home.
You Mingxu was the leader of this group. After listening to the summary of these circumstances, she said: "It is very likely that the murderer was familiar with the deceased's behavior and knew that he was playing cards in the factory tonight, and followed the deceased or was lying in wait there, premeditated to kill him."
Everyone nodded. I have been doing this for a few years and I can understand these key judgments as soon as I hear them. They felt that this case, like many other cases they had handled, revealed the murderer was right under their noses once they pierced through the thin layer of window paper.
So everyone had a clear idea and immediately split into two groups. One group went to investigate those who played cards with the deceased, and the other group went to investigate the three roommates who shared a house with the deceased.
You Mingxu took Yin Feng and went to join his group of card-playing friends first. Because they were the last people to see the deceased.
A murder had occurred and the factory was very nervous and actively cooperated. They provided an interrogation room overnight and called all the card-playing friends over. However, when others saw the cartoon pattern on the expert Yin Feng's clothes, they all took a second look or two.
You Mingxu then thought that he would have to take off his favorite T-shirt tomorrow and make him change into ordinary clothes. Now that he is following her, she cannot embarrass him again.
Yin Feng was actually quite perceptive and noticed that others were looking at him. He smiled slightly and straightened his chest. He now knows that he is very handsome and everyone likes to look at him. But he doesn't care about others.
When You Mingxu and Xu Mengshan were asking questions, Yin Feng just sat quietly by the side, not saying a word the whole time, just staring at everyone without blinking. You Mingxu was working very attentively, and only noticed his silence when he occasionally stopped to drink a sip of water. I feel that even though he is stupid, he is quite sensible and knows the rules.
Halfway through, Xu Mengshan went out to communicate and make arrangements, leaving only the two of them in the room. You Mingxu flipped through his notebook twice and said, "You've been very well behaved today."
Yin Feng replied: "I have always been very well behaved."
You Mingxu smiled and said, "Who has been losing his temper and not talking recently, sulking and needing to be comforted?"
His face slowly turned red, and he defended himself: "But every time Ash coaxed me, didn't I obey him?"
You Mingxu looked at him twice, then lowered his head and continued reading the transcript.
Xu Mengshan soon brought more people in.
There were five people playing cards that night. Their confessions were all consistent: Xu Jiayuan played cards until after 10 o'clock and lost more than 800 yuan. He only had more than 100 yuan left, which was supposed to be his living expenses for the next few days. He was a little unhappy and left first. At that time, one person won more than a thousand, one won 300, and the other three all lost more or less. The remaining people continued to fight until just now.
Although there were no cameras in the dormitory where they played cards, there were cameras on the floor and at the entrances and exits, and there were many eyewitnesses. What they say can be confirmed by evidence very quickly.
When Xu Mengshan led these people out, You Mingxu was sorting out the records when he felt a warm person approaching his face. She didn't even raise her eyebrows and continued to do her job. Yin Feng said: "I think..."
You Mingxu almost choked on his own breath.
While he said such ridiculous words, his expression was clear and confident: "I think they are all telling the truth. Because I observed their micro-expressions and behavioral logic, they are all true and reasonable. Moreover, the details mentioned by several people match each other."
You Mingxu didn't say anything.
In fact, this is true. Soon Xu Mengshan brought the freshly-released surveillance video from the factory security room to confirm their confessions.
These five people have been temporarily ruled out as direct suspects.
