Chapter 142 familiar person
Jiang He nodded, and while putting on his gloves, he followed Captain Liu to the dry well.
The Nanwan District belongs to the old city of Longcheng, and the buildings here have existed for a long time. With the development of the city and the continuous expansion of space, Nanwan has gradually become the suburb of Longcheng. Many places in the Nanwan District are undergoing urban renovation. To put it bluntly, they are constantly demolishing and building new buildings. There are also many places that have been demolished, but no developers have come to renovate them.
This dry well is located in this place. On the left is an endless open field. The open land is full of sand and soil. The police comrades from the Nanwan Police Station received the task of the Municipal Bureau and came here to investigate whether there was a dead person in the dry well.
However, when the police from the police station came here, there was no one around, and there was no crowd watching. It seemed that the residents in the distance did not know that a child died here. This is really a problem. According to the police’s understanding, once a murder occurs somewhere, people are usually surrounded by people on the inner three floors and the outer three floors, and many people have to take pictures and send them to the circle of friends. Why is there no one in this place.
It seems that those residents still don’t know that there are dead people here.
As Jiang He walked, he paid attention to his surroundings.
The left side of the dry well is sandy soil. As long as someone walks on it, footprints are bound to be left. Especially if it hasn’t rained recently, the footprints can remain for a long time. However, Jiang He did not see any footprints or ruts on the left side of the dry well. It shows that the deceased or the murderer did not come from this open field.
The rest of the area is a residential area, and further outside is the main road. This area is all asphalt roads, leaving no footprints. From this point of view, it is more likely that the murderer or the deceased himself came from these places.
Jiang He stood by the well and looked down along the well. There was indeed a fourteen- or fifteen-year-old child at the bottom of the well. The child fell into the well with his head down, and he couldn’t see clearly from the well. appearance. And due to the landfill of the garbage in the well, the child’s feet are not far from the wellhead and can be pulled up with a hand.
And such a posture is very uncoordinated and is unlikely to be caused by a fall.
“Did someone move the body?” Jiang He looked around and asked.
A policeman from the police station said: “I touched him just now, because I didn’t know whether he was dead or alive before, but I saw that one of his arms was missing. I only found out when I touched his ankle. The body was already cold, so it was reported to the city bureau.”
Jiang He nodded and said, “Get the body out.”
Several police officers nodded, grabbed the man’s corpse’s ankle and pulled the corpse out.
After a while, the corpse was pulled up from the well, and everyone could see what the corpse looked like.
The corpse, male, about fourteen or fifteen years old, was wearing a white T-shirt and brown shorts, a pair of sandals and no socks.
And when he saw the face of the male corpse, Jiang He frowned.
At this time, Xu Yiman had already knelt on the ground and started a simple autopsy. She opened the eyes of the corpse, looked at the pupils of the corpse, and pinched the jaws and arms of the corpse.
After a simple autopsy, Xu Yiman said to the surrounding police: “Judging from the turbidity of the corpse’s pupils and the degree of corpse stiffness, according to the current temperature and humidity, the boy died for about five hours. It’s close to twelve o’clock in the morning, which means between seven and eight in the morning.”
Jiang He nodded and asked again, “Do you know the cause of death?”
Xu Yiman said, “Do you smell anything?”
Jiang He nodded: “Of course I smelled it. I think everyone present could smell this indescribable odor.”
After hearing Jiang He’s words, everyone nodded.
“Does the corpse stink?” Jiang He asked.
“It’s not.” Xu Yiman said, “Bring me the autopsy tools.”
After getting the autopsy tools, Xu Yiman said carefully: “This odor is different from the rotten smell emitted by the corpse. It is a chemical agent.”
With that said, Xu Yiman carefully opened the mouth of the male corpse with pliers. When Xu Yiman opened the mouth of the male corpse, the smell became stronger. At the same time, everyone saw that there were white blisters on the tongue of the male corpse’s mouth, and some blood flowed out of those white blisters. It looked disgusting, and it smelled even more nauseating.
Xu Yiman was very cautious, she slowly pulled out the small pliers, and the mouth of the male corpse was closed.
“Do you know what this thing is?” Xu Yiman asked.
“I don’t know.” Jiang He shook his head.
“Paraquat!” Xu Yiman stood up with a tangled expression on his face: “Or it’s called swept away or something, this is an efficient herbicide, and at the same time, it is also a poison that does the most harm to the human body. In order to prevent children from Accidentally ingested, the merchant deliberately made paraquat, which actually has no odor, into a liquid with a strong odor.”
Xu Yiman looked at everyone and continued: “That is the smell that everyone smelled just now. Normally, no one would be willing to drink such a smelly thing. This thing is basically just a few bottle caps. It can’t be saved, the death rate is as high as 90%, it is very poisonous, and it is very corrosive.”
Xu Yiman pointed to the man’s corpse’s mouth: “You saw the white blisters in his mouth just now, that’s what was left by the burning of paraquat in his mouth, that is to say, his esophagus and even his trachea were burned. Possibly, this highly toxic fluid penetrates the body’s organs with the blood, and the deceased usually succumbs to respiratory failure.”
“The more important thing is that paraquat does not damage the brain, which means that all this pain is experienced while the deceased is awake, and the damage is irreversible, which means that it is basically very It’s hard to come back, and the pain in these few minutes may be a hundred times higher than that of giving birth to a child.”
“But since this thing has such a strong smell, how did the murderer let him drink it in his stomach.” Captain Liu is very strange about this. This is indeed a very important question.
“There must be a murderer?” Jiang He asked back.
“He couldn’t have cut off his own arm and threw it somewhere I don’t know, right?” Captain Liu looked at Jiang He and raised his own doubts: “This looks like murder, but if it’s murder, why? Did the murderer cut off his arm at the same time he poisoned it?”
Jiang He asked Xu Yiman, “Can you be sure what happened to this arm? Was it cut off before death, or was it cut off after death.”
“There are traces of life.” Xu Yiman said: “It is basically certain that his arm was cut off before he died.”
“It’s really weird,” Jiang He said. “It’s not common sense. But the most important thing right now is to find out where the first scene is.”
Captain Liu said, “Isn’t this the first scene?”
Jiang He pointed down the well: “You see that there is not much blood in the well. If his arm was cut off before his death, a lot of blood would have spewed out, but the amount of blood in the well is obviously not correct. Obviously, this is not the case. It’s not the first scene, and where the arm is, the first scene is likely to be.”
“But where is it?” Captain Liu said.
Jiang He pondered for a moment, then said to Captain Liu, “Have you seen the surrounding buildings? Eight or nine times out of ten, they are there. There are no footprints on the left, and there are no traces of cover, which means that the murderer did not come from the left, but There is a residential building on the right, front and back, and the corpse has to pass through that busy city, so the probability of being found is too high.”
“Go check it out,” Jiang He said.
“Okay.” Captain Liu nodded: “But the problem is, the most important thing for us now is to find out the identity of this little boy.”
Xu Yiman said, “At the same time as the autopsy, I turned through the boy’s pocket. There was nothing in the pocket, and nothing that could prove his identity was found.”
“Don’t bother, I know who he is.” Jiang He said.
“You know?” Xu Yiman asked.
Jiang He nodded and said to Xu Yiman, “Do you still remember the video we watched a week ago about the little girl being beaten by several people?”
“Remember!” Xu Yiman said, “I was going to check it out at the time. Could it be that this little boy is one of them?”
Jiang He hummed, looked at the corpse and said, “Yes, as long as I have experienced it, I will never forget it in my life. This little boy is indeed one of those in the video, and he went up and ripped off the little girl at the end. dress. It’s been a week and he’s dead here.”
“Will this matter have anything to do with the school violence a week ago?” Xu Yiman also looked at the corpse.
“I remember under those videos, many people threatened to kill these social scum they thought.” Jiang He said, “Contact Guan Deng immediately, and check all the netizens who have said so to determine who committed the crime. time, these people may be the murderers.”
Xu Yiman shook his head and said to Jiang He, “You still don’t understand human nature, those who call Huan are often very cowardly in real life, if it is really those netizens who did it, it is very likely that those who do not The one who speaks.”
“No matter what, there is a possibility.” Jiang He said, “Captain Liu, you go to investigate the nearby residential buildings. You must check the front, back, left and right sides. Be sure to find the first scene and find out whether the child committed suicide or not. Kill him.”
“Well.” Captain Liu nodded.
Jiang He said to Xu Yiman: “We will go back to the funeral home to conduct a detailed autopsy on the body to see what the cause of his death is. After that, we will go to Longcheng No. 4 Renmin Middle School to see the identity of the deceased.”
“Okay!” Xu Yiman said: “I also think this case is very strange. The smell of paraquat is so strong, and the success rate of poisoning with this kind of thing is not high…”
