Chapter 178: 2 Corpses
Beishan Park has been renovated recently. The original facilities are old and outdated, so the city has replanned it and plans to turn it into a landmark park integrating leisure and entertainment.
Not only did they find a design unit to redesign the project, they also conducted a bidding process. In the end, the city’s Second Construction Company won the bid, with a construction period of two years.
The construction has been going on for a while and they are now building a stone staircase leading to the top of the mountain. Unexpectedly, a human hand was dug out while digging the soil.
After the criminal investigation team received the alarm, Qi Lei brought Su Xiaoxiao and others over.
The car could only drive to the foot of the mountain. The human hand was found on a small slope, completely turned into bones.
Police officers from the nearby police station have set up a cordon and are organizing people to dig.
The contractor was very annoyed. When he first discovered the hand bone, he didn't take it seriously and asked the workers to continue working. But not long after, someone dug out another arm, and then a head.
He wanted to continue, but the workers refused and said they would call the police, otherwise if something really happened, they wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.
Later, I had no choice but to call the police.
But once the police arrived, he had to stop working, and the original construction period would be delayed. This made him very unhappy, and he just hoped that the police could finish the investigation quickly so that he could resume work as soon as possible.
I just didn't expect so many police officers to come. Seeing how busy they were, it didn't look like they could finish the work all at once.
Su Xiaoxiao arrived at the slope and found that the people who examined the case had arrived earlier than them. Forensic Doctor Zhang had already arrived and was cleaning up the bones that had been dug out.
Qi Lei was questioning the first worker who discovered the bones. The worker still had a look of panic on his face. Who could have thought that such a thing would happen?
Su Xiaoxiao ran to forensic doctor Zhang and saw that the excavated bones had been arranged by forensic doctor Zhang to look like a corpse. Only one leg was missing, and the corpse would be complete.
Hey, Su Xiaoxiao saw a small hand next to the corpse.
"Is there more than one body here?" she asked Forensic Doctor Zhang.
"Yes, it seems that there are at least two bodies, one adult and one child." Forensic Doctor Zhang pointed at the police who were still digging, "They are still looking. I don't know if there are any more."
Su Xiaoxiao stood up. Not far from the small earthen slope, there was a path trampled by people, from which one could go all the way to the top of the mountain.
She looked around and saw that the slope was covered with weeds. Because no one cared about it, they had grown to more than half a person's height. This was indeed a good place to kill someone and bury the body.
"Forensic Doctor Zhang, can you tell how many years have passed since this corpse died?"
"It's been at least ten or twenty years. We'll have to go back for testing to find out the details." Forensic Doctor Zhang skillfully cleaned the dirt off the bones while chatting with Su Xiaoxiao. "You'll have to work hard again. It may be difficult to identify a body that has been dead for so many years."
He has been a forensic doctor for more than 20 years and has been to countless crime scenes. He knows at a glance how troublesome today's situation is. Unless other evidence can be found for a corpse from so many years ago, it will be difficult to identify it.
"How did they die?"
"Look here." Forensic Doctor Zhang pointed at the skulls and asked Su Xiaoxiao to look at them. "This big one has a dent in the back of the head. He must have been hit on the back of the head and died. As for the small one, we haven't found it yet, so we don't know yet."
One big and one small? Su Xiaoxiao had an idea in her mind.
It took most of the day to find all the remains. They stopped digging only after confirming that there were no other remains. The team members were all sweating from exhaustion.
Looking at the two corpses, one large and one small, lying on the ground, everyone felt a little heavy in their hearts.
Next to the body were some potentially useful physical evidence, some remaining fragments of clothing, and a wooden toy that looked a bit like a pistol.
The personnel currently investigating the case are carefully putting them into evidence bags, preparing to take them back for testing. The body parts have also been put into bags and taken back by Forensic Doctor Zhang.
When we returned to the office, it was already time to get off work, but no one wanted to leave.
Qi Lei asked everyone to go to the conference room. He projected the pictures of the corpse and evidence taken at the scene today, so that everyone could see and see if they had any ideas.
The team members looked at each other and had no idea at the moment. Apart from the fact that the body was quite old, they couldn't see anything else. The identity could not be confirmed, and there was no information on missing persons that could match the case.
Su Xiaoxiao raised her hand. She had a vague guess just now.
"You have an idea, tell me."
"Captain, no, Deputy Qi." Su Xiaoxiao was used to calling Qi Lei Captain, and now she was still a little confused. "Captain, if we can identify the two bodies we found, wouldn't it be much easier?"
"Of course, ascertaining the identity comes first."
"Actually, I have a guess about their identities. I just talked to forensic doctor Zhang. These two bodies have been gone for at least ten or twenty years. There is no one among the missing persons who can match them, at least not the adult, right? But what if someone is missing but the family didn't report it to the police?"
"It's unlikely that the family wouldn't call the police after being missing for so long, right?" said a team member.
"Really. Deputy Qi, didn't Captain Zhai assign an old case to our group? This case is a serial murder case that happened three years ago. At that time, they found a suspect named Yue Wu, but he was ruled out because of DNA mismatch. However, the murderer's DNA showed that he was related to Yue Wu, so they suspected that the murderer was Yue Wu's brother.
Yue Wu did have an older brother named Yue Wen, who went missing when he was four years old and has never been found.
But yesterday, during our investigation, we discovered that when Yue Wen disappeared, another person was also missing. This person was called Cheng Fu. He was 32 years old when he disappeared. He had been in jail for child trafficking. His family did not call the police after he disappeared.
When I was talking to forensic doctor Zhang just now, I felt that they were very similar in age, so I guessed that it might be these two people. "
Su Xiaoxiao was not sure either, she just thought it was too coincidental that she found the body just as she found Cheng Fu.
"What a coincidence! We can find out by checking. Aren't their relatives all here?"
Qi Lei didn't think there was anything wrong. When they were criminal police, they had to make bold guesses and verify things carefully. It was always better to have ideas than to have no ideas at all.
Soon, the DNA test report came out, and the two bodies found were actually Yue Wen and Cheng Fu.
Yue Zishan was not there, so Su Xiaoxiao took Wang Xueyan's hair.
The identities and causes of death were confirmed. Yue Wen was strangled to death, with obvious signs of fractured cervical vertebrae, while Cheng Fu was killed by being hit on the back of the head with a stick.
However, there is still no clue as to who killed them.
If Cheng Fu kidnapped Yue Wen, then who killed them both?
