Chapter 4 The Hammer of the Dead
When is human imagination the most active?
That's when you close your eyes.
When your thinking no longer simply relies on your eyes to observe and receive information, your imagination will naturally improve. When most people close their eyes, they feel that it is pitch black, but Liang Chuan seems to be able to vaguely see something at this time.
Wu Dahai stopped Jian Hong from speaking. He thought that his childhood friend was thinking now, but he could not imagine that Liang Chuan could indeed see something.
The deceased's death was too long, and Liang Chuan's vision remained dark for a long time, but he was still searching. Slowly, he lowered his head, to be precise, he was looking down hard, because in the darkness around him, there seemed to be only his own feet, and there were still some completely dark existences left.
That's a pair of legs,
Not your own legs,
Instead, a pair of legs in worn jeans,
Very thick and strong,
at the same time,
Liang Chuan also saw something in his hand,
He wanted to see the thing carefully, but it was very difficult. Slowly, he felt a sense of fatigue. This feeling of fatigue came very quickly, so there was not much time left for Liang Chuan.
A few moments,
Liang Chuan opened his eyes, his eyes were covered with bloodshot, which surprised Wu Dahai on the side. He felt that he was calling the young man to help, so Liang Chuan could not rest well.
"Chuan'er, if you are tired, you can go back and rest first. After the team has sorted out some information tomorrow, I will call you to come and see..."
"Captain Wu, the weapon has been found." A policeman came over, holding a plastic bag in his hand, and a hammer was in it.
Wu Dahai reached out to take the bag and handed it to Jian Hong first. Jian Hong took out the hammer with gloves and placed it in the position of the murderer's skull and compared it, then said:
"Captain Wu, if nothing unexpected happens, this should be the weapon. I will go back to the police station laboratory for more detailed comparisons, but it should be unlikely to make mistakes. The caliber of the hammer is basically the same as the wound at the location of the fatal injury of the corpse.
But there is one thing you need to be mentally prepared.”
"What?" Wu Dahai asked.
"That's that it's basically impossible to extract fingerprints and DNA from this hammer. After all, it's been at the bottom of the well for so long, and that well is not a dry well." Jian Hong said helplessly.
"Can you show me the hammer?" Liang Chuan, who was wearing fatigue on his face, suddenly spoke.
Jian Hong hesitated for a moment and looked at Wu Dahai. Wu Dahai nodded to her.
"Okay, please put on gloves." Jian Hong reminded.
"Thanks."
After taking the gloves from the female forensic doctor and putting them on, Liang Chuan took the hammer in his hand, then gently held it with his right hand, and then naturally hanged down.
Jian Hong has changed from being curious about this so-called psychological consultant to being a little ignorant. In her opinion, everything at the scene of the murder is very serious, but this psychological consultant may be doing things with a curious mentality.
Wu Dahai trusts his childhood friend very much, because Liang Chuan played a very important role in the previous cases.
Liang Chuan squinted his eyes and tried to make his vision less clear. Then he lowered his head, looked at his legs first, and then looked at his hands on the right side of his legs.
Yes,
That's it,
The thing that I can't see clearly,
It should be a hammer.
The rough outline is the same.
Liang Chuan delivered the murder weapon to the female forensic doctor, then took off his gloves and said:
"The deceased is likely to have something to do with this murder weapon. My opinion is that if the identity of the deceased cannot be determined from other aspects, we can start with this murder weapon. This is not an ordinary household hammer, it should be specially made by a tool factory, so police forces can be mobilized to inquire about the hardware store in Rongcheng."
"It's the murderer, it's related to this weapon. You said it was the deceased." The female forensic doctor reminded Liang Chuan of this misunderstanding.
"This is exactly what I'm puzzled, but I can be sure that this weapon has a close relationship with the dead."
There is a saying that Liang Chuan didn't say, because he saw the deceased holding the hammer in his hand through the memory of the deceased. Of course, no one would believe this.
"Okay, leave a team of people to protect the scene from being destroyed. Then send a team of people to start inquiring about nearby villagers overnight. The bodies and evidence found were taken back to the bureau for testing. By the way, let's check the missing population records in Rongcheng in the past year. The keyword of target reduction is simply forensic doctors. Please give a report later. This is done first."
"I understand." Jian Hong nodded. Rongcheng is a big city. If you do not give some specific information about the deceased, it will be very difficult to lock in specific targets from a large number of missing people.
"In addition, I will send someone to start investigating hardware stores in the city early tomorrow morning and ask when the hammer was sold. It's been a bit long. Please be patient when doing the investigation."
Several police officers immediately responded after hearing the order and went down to arrange their work.
"Chuan'er, I'll take you back first." Wu Dahai and Liang Chuan walked out of the tent, each of whom was a cigarette, standing there smoking, "Maybe it's another unsolved case."
"It's not necessarily." Liang Chuan didn't think so, because there was something strange about this case, that is, the deceased was very familiar with the weapon. Generally speaking, the murderer would be very familiar with the weapon. With this relationship, there is actually a lot of hope in this case. Since the murderer was the deceased who killed the deceased with the things of the deceased, it is very likely that the relationship between the murderer and the deceased was not ordinary. As long as the identity of the deceased can be determined and the social relationship can be investigated, the breakthrough should be found.
"The body is naked, and there is no evidence to prove its identity. At the same time, no fingerprints or DNA are extracted from the weapon. Now we have to wait for the results of tomorrow's missing population investigation."
"Are you worried about your own case-solving rate?"
"Don't look at me with such eyes." Fatty Wu shook the ashes. "I have seen such things so many times, so I can only do my best. Come on, I'll send you back."
"I won't go back, it's almost dawn. I'll make do with you to the police station for one night and I can wait for news faster."
Fatty Wu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and drove back to the police station with Liang Chuan.
Liang Chuan lay down directly on the sofa in the police station. Fatty Wu found him a blanket, while he himself started to get busy. New murder cases, regardless of whether the subsequent development will reach a dead end, at least we have to hurry up and work hard now.
The police station is very lively, and life is very important, but Liang Chuan sleeps very comfortably. People walk around from time to time, and there are also sounds of reading documents and making phone calls, but in Liang Chuan's ears, it seems very real.
He has extremely serious claustrophobia, but even though he is a psychologist, he cannot eradicate it, and he doesn't even dare to touch it.
By the time I woke up, it was already morning.
Fatty Wu didn't sleep all night, his eyes were red. He had just reported his work from the director's office and went to the cafeteria to make some breakfast. When he saw Liang Chuan woke up, he put the steamed buns and porridge in front of Liang Chuan.
"Eat something." Wu Dahai didn't rush to eat, but lit another cigarette. The ashtray on his desk was already full.
Liang Chuan first washed his face and walked into the office while shaking his hands.
“Is there any progress?”
Fatty Wu sighed, "There is no way to extract DNA and fingerprints from the weapon, the information of the corpse is unclear, and there is no evidence to indicate the identity. In short, until now, we have not even figured out who the deceased is!"
Fatty Wu slapped him on the desk and stayed up all night, but the case was no progress, which was the most annoying thing.
"Is this a list of missing persons reports?" Liang Chuan ate the steamed bun and opened a report on his desk.
"Well, I just sent it. The dead person died eight months ago on the autopsy report. According to the characteristics of the deceased, no missing person was found in the Rongcheng area." Fatty Wu shrugged helplessly, "It is probably a migrant migrant population, so there is no way to investigate this."
"There is a missing person in the West Village here." Liang Chuan pointed to a photo on the list, "It should be the village where the body was found, right?"
"I have also noticed this, but my height and body shape are completely inconsistent with the deceased, so I excluded it. According to the instructions in the report, I should have run away from usury."
Liang Chuan nodded, but his eyes remained on the photo.
Name: Zhao Qingshan;
Date of birth: August 12, 1978;
"Which specific date is his disappearance?" Liang Chuan asked.
"Six months ago, almost two months after the murder, his family came to the police station to report his disappearance." Wu Dahai rubbed his eyebrows, "Now he can only initially suspect that he is the biggest suspect. He ran away after killing. According to the clues he has at present, he can only follow this line and investigate first."
Liang Chuan shook his head, "If he was the murderer, he would not have run away."
Wu Dahai narrowed his eyes, looked at Liang Chuan, and asked, "How can I see it?"
“The body was thrown into the well in the field, and everything such as clothing that would expose the identity information of the deceased were disposed of, and in addition to the fatal wounds on the head, the body was deliberately disfigured, which shows that it was not a passionate murder case, but a murder with a complete plan;
The murderer did a good job from the beginning to the end. The longer the murderer with this personality, the longer the incident happened, as the corpse was not discovered and the degree of decay continued to increase, his mentality should be more and more stable.
This is a completely different mentality from escaping immediately when an accident occurs. In other words, murder cases are different from ordinary cases. If a body is found, where will the police's target of investigation start first?
Isn’t it equivalent to discovering the future body and directly putting himself in the first group of suspects of the police after he was found?
