After Chief Kong put the pen cap on, he took a deep breath and stood up straight in his police uniform.
"It's very tiring to work around the clock on this case. After this case is solved, anyone who wants to take a leave can come to me directly for approval.
Zhongyi, take your people over to check out the situation!"
"Yes, Director Kong!"
Yan Zhongyi and his men rushed to the scene as soon as possible. The yellow cordon was blocked by onlookers.
"It's already the 21st century, but there are still so many spectators in Mr. Lu Xun's works!" Yan Zhongyi said in anger.
"These people are just here to watch the fun and don't mind making trouble!" The person who spoke was called Wang Bin. He joined the police force two years ago. He and Yan Zhongyi were alumni of the police academy. He had been following behind him, calling him "Master" all the time.
Yan Zhongyi had a gloomy face and quickened his pace towards the dead body.
The red blood on the snow was very eye-catching, but the amount of blood was not much, and it did not look like the first crime scene.
The murdered man was lying on the snow, with no signs of life. He was stabbed several times and had multiple wounds all over his body. His black padded trousers were pulled down to his ankles.
The exposed skin was a deathly grey, a colour unique to corpses. Slight livor mortis appeared on the body, and the estimated time of death was within five hours.
Yan Zhongyi has some knowledge of forensic medicine. His college girlfriend Gao Lin was a beautiful and smart girl majoring in forensic medicine.
She said that livor mortis would only become noticeable within five to six hours of death.
Forensic pathologist Du Hai had arrived at the scene before them and was conducting a preliminary autopsy on the body.
"What's the situation with this man?" Yan Zhongyi bent his knees and half-knelt, his eyes fixed on the corpse.
"The deceased's heart was removed alive when the patient's blood loss did not exceed 1,800cc.
There were a total of 18 knife wounds on the body, the two most fatal of which were here: a slit in the throat and a puncture in the heart artery.
In addition, the deceased's genitals were also missing."
Yan Zhongyi and Wang Bin looked at the location of the body and couldn't help but gasp.
"Forensic Doctor Du, how do you know that the deceased's heart was taken out while he was still alive?" Wang Bin asked.
"It's very simple! There were rope marks on the wrists and ankles of the deceased, and no signs of fighting on his body.
This means that the crime may have been committed by an acquaintance, or the murderer may have knocked him unconscious when he was completely defenseless. The latter needs to take the body back to the forensic laboratory for autopsy confirmation.
Fibers similar to rag material were extracted from the victim's mouth, which prevented the murderer from committing suicide by biting his tongue.
It was obvious that he wanted to torture the other person to death slowly and did not intend to kill him with one blow.
If there is no deep hatred between the two people, it proves that the murderer has a murderous personality and enjoys the process of making the victim suffer.
The blood on the victim's fingernails showed that he was in great pain. The murderer did not use anesthetics when he took out the heart from the victim alive," Du Hai explained.
Wang Bin's face was filled with horror. In his two years in the police force, this was the first time he had seen such a brutal method of committing a crime.
"How much hatred and resentment is this!
Could this B@st@ard have thrown the dead man's p3ni$ into the river or the sewer? It's possible that he had ground it into mud using a meat grinder!
Yan Zhongyi's eyebrows were knitted together so tightly that it looked like they could pinch a fly to death.
"Maybe the murderer has some special quirks, like collecting that stuff.
This is not the first crime scene, and the murderer did not kill in passion. Such a careful layout, this is premeditated murder. "
Two police dogs from the police dog base have arrived at the scene, and Yan Zhongyi has requested that a carpet search be launched as soon as possible.
"Master, the murderer left this piece of paper at the scene. Is this a typical crime mark?"
"Take it away!" Yan Zhongyi glanced at Wang Bin, and his eyes returned to the A4 paper.
The clown's smile in the painting is chilling. He pulls his bright red lips to the ear corners and smiles ferociously, giving people a strong visual impact.
Yan Zhongyi put the A4 paper under his nose and sniffed it gently. The smell of blood with a hint of rust hit his nose.
"It's human blood! We can get the result by DNA comparison."
"Master, could this be another murder of passion?
The clown may represent himself, or the murderer may be cuckolded! "
"It looks like a romantic murder, but it's possible that the murderer left it there on purpose. Maybe he wants to interfere with our investigation."
Yan Zhongyi ordered two newly arrived recruits to carry the body onto a stretcher. When they saw the rigor mortis and rigor mortis on the body, as well as the yellow tissue exposed by the wounds on the body, they covered their mouths and vomited.
"You two should run away and vomit, and don't destroy the crime scene!" Wang Bin said with disgust, "These newcomers really don't know the rules!"
"When you first arrived, you were worse than them. You vomited right away and got scolded by Director Kong."
"Master, can you please stop exposing my shortcomings?"
After the two left the scene, Yan Zhongyi took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a few puffs until it became a short B*tt.
The body was sent to the police forensic department, where Du Hai conducted an in-depth autopsy.
The staff of the identification department collected the DNA and fingerprints of the deceased, and the results came out quickly.
The deceased was identified as Liu Xuping, 43 years old, director of the Yangcheng Scenic Area Management Committee.
When Liu Xuping's wife and daughter rushed to the forensic room to verify the identity of the deceased, they saw the body lying on the cold dissection table and fainted on the spot.
It is not surprising that when the human brain faces a major emergency, it will experience orthostatic hypotension, and sudden fainting is a normal phenomenon.
This phenomenon is commonly known as: nervous mood swings.
In the ward, Mrs. Liu, with a weak face, fell to her knees on the ground with a thump from the bed.
"Police comrades, Lao Liu died tragically, please make sure to catch the real culprit!
Our Meng Meng will take the college entrance examination in more than 100 days. Originally, Lao Liu planned to travel to Beijing with his family during the summer vacation. Who knew... "
Wang Bin answered a phone call outside, and after hanging up, he called Yan Zhongyi out.
"Master, I just received a call from the Criminal Investigation Technology Department. They saw a suspicious person in the surveillance video.
However, it snowed so heavily last night that the surveillance footage was very blurry and the suspect's appearance could not be clearly seen.
This person wandered around for a long time, probably looking for a place to dump the body.
It was snowing so heavily in the back that the several surveillance cameras around couldn't capture the person's face clearly! "
Yan Zhongyi frowned and stared at the screen of his mobile phone with his black eyes.
"Snowy days are the best for murder. It's easy to hide from others and cover all fingerprints. The murderer came prepared!"
Yan Zhongyi felt annoyed and took out a cigarette from his pocket and prepared to light it.
"Sir, smoking is strictly prohibited in the hospital. Please cooperate!"
"Sorry! I don't want to smoke anymore!"
After the nurse left, Wang Bin continued, "Master, why don't we ask a criminal portrait artist to try to draw a portrait of the suspect?"
"Clad in black, his face was barely discernible.
When you zoom in, you can see only part of the forehead and a small amount of the jawline, and the picture appears to be a mosaic. In special cases, we can only ask a criminal portrait artist to come.
Oh, go take a statement from the deceased's family and ask if the deceased has any enemies, or if he has offended anyone in his job. Ask carefully about all aspects."
"I understand!" Wang Bin turned and walked into the ward.
As soon as Yan Zhongyi walked out of the hospital building, reporters had already surrounded the hospital entrance.
"Captain Yan, may I ask if the murderer committed the crime on Valentine's Day because of some kind of killing ritual?"
"Captain Yan, I heard that the deceased was the head of the scenic area management committee, and he had made great achievements in urban construction and development.
However, I heard that Director Liu Xuping has a lot of gossips, and the Letters and Calls Bureau has received several anonymous reports. Could this be an act of retaliation? "
"Captain Yan, we are about to build a civilized city. How long will it take to solve this murder case?"
"Captain Yan, I heard that this case has been named the 2.14 Massive Murder Case..."
Yan Zhongyi had a stern face with dark stubble covering his cheeks and chin.
A pair of dark eyes looked tired, but the pupils still sparkled with bright light.
"The police are currently investigating the matter with all their strength. Please stay calm and wait for the final result from the police.
During this period, we hope that both official media and self-media will adhere to the attitude of not making or spreading rumors and report this matter correctly..."
Yan Zhongyi's answer obviously did not satisfy the reporters. They would not leave easily if they could not find any remarks worth reporting and attracting attention.
"Master!"
Yan Zhongyi turned around and saw Wang Bin waving at him, as if he had seen a savior.
"There is a small door behind the hospital cafeteria. Let's get rid of these reporters first and come back to get the car after dark!" Wang Bin said as he took out his cell phone and started to call a taxi.
"Have the family members completed the statements? Have you found any suspicious points?" Yan Zhongyi asked as they walked.
Wang Bin nodded and said, "According to the confession of the deceased's wife, Liu Xuping often went out at night to attend social events.
I called her around 8 o'clock last night and told her I would be back later.
He also said that the driver was on a business trip and that Haiyan Hotel was not far from his home, so he would take a walk home after finishing his business.
Liu Xuping had not returned home overnight before, so his wife did not find it unusual and did not call the police.
Yan Zhongyi's face darkened. "This case is very difficult right now! The Identification Department said that there were no fingerprints or skin residues from other people on the body of the deceased.
After killing someone, the murderer wiped off the fingerprints on the victim's body, or committed the crime while wearing gloves.
He left no physical evidence, only the negligible surveillance video.
The criminal investigation team is investigating the surrounding area, hoping that there will be witnesses! "
