The Huaicheng police dispatched a small boat and took everyone to the island. There was a shabby little boat parked on the river bank, with peeling hull all over it. Although the hull was intact, it looked as if it had been abandoned for a long time. Several policemen were investigating on the boat, hoping to find any traces of the deceased or the murderer.
It is said that when the water level rises, most of this island will be submerged, and because of its remote location, it is sparsely populated. If a fisherman had not taken a shortcut from here on his way back to the countryside early this morning and saw the thing on the island, the body would have been discovered who knows when.
It is called an island, but it is just a small mound of a few hundred square meters, covered with weeds and rocks. When we reached the center of the island, there was a low-lying area with a black box inside.
The box was 20 inches, old and dirty. The lid was open and there was a person inside.
When we say "折", we really mean it literally. Because a 20-inch small suitcase cannot accommodate an adult, even a slim woman. The deceased was naked and had a fair complexion. The limbs appear intact on the surface, but upon closer inspection, they appear a little strange.
"Fan Datou, aren't you a yoga expert?" Xu Mengshan said to Fan Jia, "Can you fold your body like this and stuff it into this box?"
Fan Jia rolled his eyes at him.
You Mingxu picked up the dead man's calf, and sure enough, it was broken inside. I'm afraid that several major joints in the body are broken, otherwise how could the body be folded so flat and square?
Yin Feng squatted beside her, staring at the corpse, frowning in thought.
You Mingxu asked: "Has the identity of the deceased been confirmed?"
Fan Jia said: "It was confirmed not long ago. The deceased is Liu Yisha, 23 years old, a student at Huaicheng University of Science and Technology, who just graduated this year. She is from Chenxi County and currently lives alone in Huaicheng and has no job. Her parents are both in their hometown. So to this day, no one has noticed that she is missing."
"What did the medical examiner say?"
Xu Mengshan replied: "The preliminary judgment is that the time of death was 2 days ago. The fatal injury was a blunt force injury to the head. The murder weapon has not yet been determined. The deceased also had multiple soft tissue contusions, but none of them were fatal. Her body was cleaned very cleanly, and no fingerprints or DNA have been found so far. She was sexually assaulted before death, and her lower body was severely torn. Many joints were broken by blunt force injuries, which were caused after death."
No one said anything for a moment.
Suddenly, a full-throated voice said, "So, the murderer raped her many times, then killed her, washed her from head to toe, then broke her joints into pieces and folded them neatly into the box?"
You Mingxu thought to himself, a novelist is a novelist, and when he heard the same situation, he immediately felt horrified.
You Mingxu glanced at the surroundings and said, “Although the traffic here is not heavy, there are always cars passing by, and there are also several families living on the mountain.
The murderer must have used a car to transport the body here. I don't think he would choose to abandon the body during the day, because he would have to carry the heavy box across the grass and onto the island, and he would definitely be seen.
Check whether any drivers passing by saw any suspicious vehicles or people and stayed nearby last night and the night before, especially in the second half of the night. ”
"yes!"
When the on-site investigation was almost finished, You Mingxu looked up and saw Yin Feng sitting next to the corpse, with his hands on the ground, looking into the distance.
You Mingxu walked over and kicked him: "Let's go."
He didn't move, but looked up at her: "What kind of person do you think he is?"
You Mingxu took a second to react and answered: "Cruel, violent, perverted, and careful."
Yin Feng nodded: "From the perspective of how they view their victims, there are three types of rapists. One type treats their victims as 'people' and will talk to them, trying to build relationships with them, and even pretending to be in love with them. This type of criminal lacks confidence the most. The second type treats their victims as 'objects' and sees themselves as professional criminals. They may disguise their identities and prepare many tools to torture their victims in order to achieve their goals.
The third type... treats the victim as a 'tool' and the perpetrator is a violent criminal who is highly aggressive, humiliates the victim, and forces the victim to participate in various sexual acts. Their main purpose is to release their anger. ”
You Mingxu was now very accustomed to his occasional flashes of psychology skills, and nodded: "The third one."
Yin Feng said: "Yes, he was really very angry, towards women and his own life."
You Mingxu remained silent.
Yin Feng added: "He has both the rough side of a businessman and the qualities of a craftsman."
You Mingxu frowned: "What do you mean?"
"I asked the medical examiner. Ordinary people simply cannot smash bones and joints so precisely, and there is almost no other trauma. He folded the body cleanly and neatly, which is a bit obsessive-compulsive. But he is not a doctor, because doctors are not that dirty and poor. He used the cheapest and lowest-quality box. Although there was nothing left on the box, there was a lot of dirt and traces of use, which means that he often used the box. If he was a doctor, first of all, it would be unlikely to use such a box. And since the inside of the box was clean, he would have habitually cleaned the outside as well. He and doctors have two completely different professions and lives."
You Mingxu thought this was a bit far-fetched, so he curled his lips and said, "You mean... the murderer is a butcher?" Otherwise, how could he be so vulgar and have the skills to manipulate corpses?
Yin Feng shook his head and said, "Ah Xu, sometimes you shouldn't react so directly. That's just one possibility. If we conclude that the murderer is a butcher, isn't that ridiculous? He could also be a veterinarian, a carpenter, a blacksmith, or a plumber. I just think that he is most likely a craftsman from the market with a low level of education but superb skills. You can look for him near the place where the deceased lived."
You Mingxu listened for a while, but did not intend to use what he said as a direction for investigation. Too fanciful. Of course, she had to follow the traditional criminal investigation approach, follow the clues and conduct a comprehensive investigation based on physical evidence and logical reasoning. .
You Mingxu slapped him on the forehead: "If my brain has straight reflexes, yours have fuzzy reflexes!"
