Chapter 82: What’s going on? Is this the conclusion?
The body was carried away.
Zhou Ning was still squatting at the edge of the pool of blood, trying his best to extract a blood sample. When a wave of sea water hit the pool of blood, he grabbed Da Zhao's hand and jumped to a high place.
"Zhou Xiaozhou, you are trying to save your life. This is not a beach. A wave will hit the rocks as soon as it comes up. We can't save you even if we want to. When the wave recedes, the force is quite strong."
Zhou Ning nodded. The convenient road they had surveyed before was no longer accessible, but it was not difficult to get ashore from this location. When they jumped onto the roadside foundation, Liu Yongxin came over with uncontrollable worry on his face.
"Why is it taking so long? Is there something wrong at the scene?"
Zhou Ning shook his head.
"As soon as I got down there, I noticed something was wrong with the waves, they seemed to be rising. I asked my second uncle, and he said that our Qindao area has a half-day tide. Today is the sixth day of the Chinese New Year, and the previous highest point of the tide was at 20:20 last night, and the next highest point was at 9:00 this morning .
So we didn't have much time. After all, the place where the body was found was submerged when the waves came up, so I took all the photos and samples I could. As for the deceased, her body position was not changed. If there is one thing that is most special at the moment, it is that a knife was directly inserted into the legs of the deceased. "
Liu Yongxin was stunned and looked at the bodies that had not yet been transported to the shore. After all, they were carrying people and were afraid that the movement would be too great, so the progress was very slow.
"Among the eleven cases of torture and murder of women, not a single case had a knife stuck in the victim's body, and no murder weapon was found at the scene. Am I overthinking this? Isn't this the Red Dress Serial Murder Case?"
"It better not be."
"Anything you found that could prove your identity?"
"There was no wallet, cell phone, or jewelry. Apart from blood-stained clothes and a red down jacket, both were very wet. There was nothing else on the deceased's body. His fingertips had been cut off.
The deceased's appearance was severely disfigured. The cuts and burns on his face were all injuries sustained before his death. More than one-third of his facial skin was missing, and the rest was horizontal and contracted. "
Zhou Ning shook his head and sighed. The woman died tragically.
But she was not the twelfth victim of the Red Clothes Serial Murder Case. He couldn't judge. After all, he had heard about the previous case from Liu Yongxin in the morning. He didn't expect that as soon as he mentioned it, he encountered a female corpse in red.
Now he hasn't even touched the corpse, because once he touches the corpse, the system will issue a task. If this is the red-clothed serial murder case, then he will be asked to complete the investigation of this serial murder case. This is simply courting death.
Zhou Ning prayed in his heart, hoping it wouldn't be that serial case.
At this time, He Chunyang and his team had already transported the body to the roadside with the help of a crane.
Everyone came forward to help, and each person who was carrying the things was exhausted. After all, climbing these huge rocks alone was a bit strenuous, and carrying a corpse was even more strenuous.
The bodies were put into the big golden cup. He Chunyang and the others lay on the side of the road like corpses, gasping for breath, with sweat all over their heads. Liu Yongxin got behind the big golden cup, opened the body bag and took a look, making a clicking sound from his mouth.
At this time, Xu Dayuan also came over, his face was frighteningly dark.
"What?"
"What? I'm not a fortune teller. I can't tell whether it's a serial murder just by looking at it. Everything depends on the autopsy results. The face of the deceased is covered with wounds. I can't tell his original appearance, so it's difficult to identify the deceased.
However, according to Zhou Ning's theory of tides, the deceased and the murderer arrived here after 20:20 last night, and the murderer was quite familiar with the tides. In fact, if the police were called an hour later today, the body and the scene would have been submerged in the sea. "
"tidal?"
Xu Dayuan tilted his head, and Zhou Ning quickly explained, and Xu Dayuan nodded.
"I really don't understand this, but who knows this?"
"Fishermen, sea fishing enthusiasts, people who live by the sea all year round, people who make a living by aquaculture, anyway, they must be familiar with all kinds of information about the sea. Otherwise, things like mid-tide, low tide, high tide, and long tide are all confusing. Who can remember the exact time?"
Liu Yongxin spoke very quickly. After he finished speaking, his eyes fell on Xu Dayuan, and he kept shaking his head and said:
"Master Xu, something is wrong with you. If it were any other time, you would have urged us to go back and do an autopsy. Why are you so calm today? Could it be that someone in the Municipal Bureau knows about this case and wants someone from the Municipal Bureau's Forensic Medical Office to come and do the autopsy?"
Zhou Ning looked at Liu Yongxin, it seemed that this judgment was too incredible.
You know, when Zhou Ning said he wanted to apply for the city bureau's forensic department to come and help with the autopsy, Xu Dayuan said that asking the city bureau to come in three to five days was too early, and usually they would make excuses. Could it be that this time...
Xu Dayuan was silent. This silence made Zhou Ning and Liu Yongxin look at each other. They both knew what this action meant, and Zhou Ning felt relieved.
It's not that he has no sympathy. He wants to solve this case, but the time set by the system is very frustrating. Currently, the longest time is no more than ten days.
But if this case is really the Red Clothes Serial Murder Case, he would not have the confidence to solve it even if he was given a year, let alone ten days. After all, this is a case that both the Provincial Department and the Ministry of Public Security are scratching their heads. Even with the system, it only provides him with some knowledge, and the solving of the case still depends on himself.
Xu Dayuan sighed, took off his hat and threw it into the car, rubbing his short hair with a depressed look on his face.
"I just received a call. I don't know who reported this case. When the city police heard that it was a female corpse in red, they asked us not to damage the body. The people from their forensic department rushed over immediately."
Liu Yongxin smiled, glanced at Zhou Ning and then said.
"Of course there is no problem. We will cooperate as required. However, it is impossible for the corpse to remain motionless. You just saw that if it was a few minutes later, the corpse would have been swept away by the tide. Is this not a problem?"
Xu Dayuan understood what Liu Yongxin meant. He also knew what Zhou Ning saw and heard when he went to sign the contract last time. He glanced at Zhou Ning.
"No need to use our army. I know how to protect my people. They can come if they want. A case cannot be closed just by a red shirt. We will follow the procedure and transport the body back to the autopsy room. You can perform a normal surface autopsy, but don't do an autopsy yet."
Only when Liu Yongxin heard Xu Dayuan say this did a smile appear on his face.
"Okay, let's go to the Eighth Courtyard and send the body over."
Zhou Ning followed Liu Yongxin into the car without saying a word along the way. More than half an hour later, the car quickly arrived at the autopsy room of the Eighth Hospital.
Everyone got off the car, but the big golden cup had not arrived yet. Liu Yongxin lit a cigarette, leaned against the door of the dissection room, and said leisurely:
“I don’t know if he was stopped on the road by the city police.”
Such an abrupt sentence made Zhou Ning startled. He had already sensed that the people in the Municipal Bureau attached great importance to the Red Clothes Serial Murder Case, but they wouldn't stop the body halfway, right?
Besides, who reported the alarm today to the municipal police?
This case never reached the police station. Only 110 and the command center got the news. Xu Dayuan said at the time that the command center only notified the Tieshan police station and they didn't need to send anyone. But I think the whole process was told.
Wang Suo's Zhou Ning still remembered him as a man with silver hair. When they met, he directly asserted that it was a case of self-production and self-sales. He looked at Xu Dayuan as if he was a junior.
Previously, Chief Zhu of the Gangkou Police Station tried his best to be assigned to the Taitung District, so the words "disobedience" were almost written on his face. It seems that Chief Wang of the Tieshan Police Station is also a man with his own ideas.
"Wang informed the Municipal Bureau?"
Liu Yongxin nodded.
"Our branch has a lot of problems. We all know the city's blueprint for Daqin Island. The next step is to focus on developing the coastline area. We also know that Taitung District is going to expand, so we have put some thoughts on it. Forget it. This is not something we should worry about. I'm afraid that the people from the city bureau will come here with the body in a while."
Zhou Ning blinked.
"Master, why don't they take the body away halfway and return it to the Municipal Bureau for autopsy? At least the equipment is more advanced and they are familiar with the operation. Coming here seems..."
Liu Yongxin smiled.
"You just figured it out, kid. You'll understand this kind of thing after you've experienced it many times. If you see it's a serial murder case, then naturally you'll take the body away. If it's not a serial murder case, then people won't stay for even a little more."
Da Zhao ran over and handed each of them a cup of hot water. Although it was spring, they were still cold after standing on the beach for so long.
"Come and have a glass of water to warm yourself up. Nothing is more important than our health."
After waiting for a while again, a big Jinbei drove in slowly, followed by two police cars as expected. There was a banging sound of car doors, and several people wearing masks got out. Some were in plain clothes and some were in police uniforms and coats. However, Zhou Ning spotted the younger of the two men in suits from last time.
After some recollection, this person seemed to be called Cui Haibin, and he was the director of the Qindao City Forensic Office. I didn't expect him to lead the team here in person. As for why they came in together, there is no need to say more.
"Hey, isn't this Forensic Doctor Liu? I heard that you will retire in a few days. The precinct didn't let you have a good rest. Why are you still here?"
Liu Yongxin laughed after hearing these pointed words, then nodded slightly and walked away from the door of the autopsy room.
"Director Cui is still so good at chatting. Let's look at the body first!"
When the body was carried in, Cui Haibin didn't even give Zhou Ning a glance. Of course, he had met Zhou Ning at the last signing ceremony. It was self-evident what this indifference meant.
There was no need for Zhou Ning to help prepare various things. A group of people rushed in, took photos, and made a lot of trouble. In ten minutes, they tore off the disposable isolation suits on their bodies and walked out. Is this speed premature ejaculation?
Liu Yongxin was considerate enough to walk over and say something.
"Is that it? How is it, is it the twelfth sect?"
Cui Haibin nodded, then shook his head.
"We have seen the body. You can continue the autopsy. Apart from the red clothing, this case has nothing to do with the previous eleven cases. None of the previous cases had a murder weapon, let alone one inserted between the legs. This is totally unrelated. However, we have also taken samples. We will notify you after the comparison. We will withdraw first."
Having said that, without any further ado, these people got into the car and drove away. Da Zhao looked at the direction the car disappeared in, then looked at Zhou Ning and Liu Yongxin.
"What's going on? Are you drawing a conclusion now?"
