Chapter 139 Criminal Record
After Cao Cang finished speaking, everyone looked at Shang Lu, who nodded heavily: "Yes, I initially suspect that the victim in the living room died of spontaneous combustion, but it is not clear what caused the victim to burn, because I haven't found the burning point, and I suspect that the deceased was burned after death."
"Burned after death?" Cao Cang and others' faces changed and they looked at Shang Lu. Gu Nankai also frowned.
Shang Lu nodded thoughtfully: "It's very likely. Think about it, if the victim died of burning, then the traces at the scene would not be so clean."
He seemed to feel that what he said was not quite accurate. After all, according to Chen Hui's family conditions, the word "clean" could not really be used to describe his home.
Shang Lu paused, and then said, "Well, what I mean is that if the victim was burned before death, he would definitely resist, or roll around in pain. However, judging from the corpse at the scene, the corpse did not perform such actions before death. The corpse showed a high degree of boxing posture. The joints of the charred corpse's limbs were bent, and the body length was shortened, which was similar to the defensive state in a boxing match. However, the defensive state of this corpse seemed to be more serious. The joints of his hands were protecting his head. However, because this posture can also be formed when the body is burned after death, it cannot be used to distinguish between being burned before death or after death. But based on my experience, the possibility of being burned after death is a little bit higher."
Shang Lu took a breath and continued, "What we can detect more is that the victim must have been in unbearable pain before his death. I suspect he died of poisoning."
Poisoning...
Fire burns...
These two words combined seemed to show the murderer's hatred for the deceased. Gu Nankai narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Ah, and because the body has been burnt, it remains to be verified whether the deceased is Chen Hui. But what is certain is that the murderer is a male, and half of his right index finger is missing. This is very obvious information about the victim." Shang Lu added.
"I can confirm that the victim is Chen Hui." Cao Cang suddenly spoke, drawing everyone's attention to him.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Cao Cang said, "Chen Hui's right index finger is missing half. I know this. Because of Cao Mo, I have met Chen Hui many times and found that his right index finger is missing half. If this is the case, I can be sure that the deceased is Chen Hui."
Gu Nankai nodded slightly. No wonder Cao Cang had clearly told him that Chen Hui was dead when he first called him.
"Hey, this Chen Hui has a criminal record." Gao Yuan interjected at this time and transferred the information he found on the tablet to the LCD screen.
Gu Nankai, Cao Cang, Li Meng and Shang Lu didn't know about this. Seeing their curious eyes, Wu Qingluan explained to them: "It's like this. When we interviewed Chen Hui's neighbors today, we found that Chen Hui had been in prison four years ago because of a traffic accident and was released half a year ago. And according to the neighbors, Chen Hui used to gamble, but then he suddenly stopped gambling for some reason. At the time, he cut off half of his finger in front of everyone. The neighbors remember this very clearly."
So this is what happened. Everyone turned around to look at the content on the LCD screen. The young man on it looked unexpectedly energetic. He was like two different people from the Chen Hui that Gu Nankai and others saw in the hospital. At that time, the Chen Hui they saw was crazy, with messy hair, and he had lost a lot of weight, completely different from the person in the photo.
"So, we can basically conclude that the victim in the living room is Chen Hui." Gu Nankai said after reading all the content on the display screen of the plateau connection road, and then looked at Shang Lu: "Shang Lu, now you tell me about the second body."
Shang Lu nodded: "As for the second body, the deceased is a male, and the body has shown a high degree of decay. The time of death should be about a month. Considering the weather conditions in Longhai, there should be a deviation in the time. I will give a more detailed explanation after a more detailed autopsy."
As if she was a little thirsty, Shang Lu motioned Wu Qingluan to hand her her coffee. After taking a sip, she continued to point to one of the photos on the blackboard, which was a photo of an unknown substance on the floor of the bathroom.
"I preliminarily concluded that the material on the ground in this photo was formed by the decomposition of the corpse and the garbage on the ground."
"That's corpse fluid." Shang Lu smiled, and everyone was horrified.
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces changed slightly. Yang Dong, who had been listening, couldn't imagine that scene. Once he deeply imagined a person dying alive and then decaying, with the flesh and skin of the corpse being decomposed, he couldn't help vomiting when he thought of this.
Li Meng was beside him. Seeing him like this, he patted him on the back like an older brother and said, "Good boy, you better think it over. You will encounter all kinds of disgusting things in this line of work."
Yang Dong quickly took two sips of water. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he nodded heavily. He seemed to understand why Gu Nankai didn't want him to follow them in. A hint of determination flashed in his eyes again: "I won't give up!"
Everyone chuckled as an encouragement to him, but everyone knew in their hearts that being a detective and dealing with criminals often requires more than just passion and courage. Yang Dong was pure, brave, simple and enthusiastic, but he was still lacking something. Gu Nankai knew very well that that thing would not appear in Yang Dong in a short period of time.
"The other is what we said at the time, the cause of the victim's death. I have already said that I suspect the victim was poisoned by fecal poisoning, that is, hydrogen sulfide poisoning. Later, when the boss and I went in, we also found the source of the hydrogen sulfide gas. The toilet in Chen Hui's house, where the deceased was leaning against his back, opened the toilet lid, which was the main source of hydrogen sulfide gas. In addition, Chen Hui's bathroom had no ventilation system and was highly closed, so the gas was difficult to evaporate. Another thing is what we said, since the bathroom door was not closed by special means, why couldn't the deceased rush out at the time? What happened to him? Was it voluntary? Or was he unable to come out? Or was the door opened again after his death?"
Shang Lu's eyes moved from the blackboard to everyone: "This is my preliminary opinion on the two bodies. For other situations, I need to do a more detailed autopsy before I can tell you. I will do it as soon as possible."
Shang Lu had finished speaking. She took another sip of coffee and sat down. Everyone roughly digested what she had said, and then their eyes fell on Gu Nankai.
"Is there anything else about Chen Hui's situation?" Gu Nankai looked at Wu Qingluan and asked.
Wu Qingluan nodded, "Yes, this Chen Hui has a sister named Chen Miao, who died of illness half a year ago. The two were raised by their mother since they were young, but his mother was in poor health, and Chen Hui was disobedient in the early years. According to the neighbors, this woman was angered to death by Chen Hui. After their mother died, Chen Hui gave up his gambling habit and depended on his sister Chen Miao for life. Chen Miao was very well-behaved, with good grades and a good personality. Chen Hui treated his sister very well, probably to make up for the mistakes he made in his early years."
She took a deep breath and continued, "Later, Chen Miao seemed to be ill. Chen Hui was very anxious and borrowed money from neighbors. The Da family felt sorry for them and didn't have any relatives, so they helped them for a while, but later they couldn't help anymore . One day, several policemen suddenly came to Chen Hui's house and took him away. When the neighbors asked around, they found out that Chen Hui had committed a crime and must have hit someone."
