This case, compared to the Liu Guihong case, is not that complicated.
It took too long for Liu Guihong to be killed, more than twenty days. The longer it takes to solve the murder case, the more difficult it will be to solve it.
In this case, the victim died within three days, so the investigation of the case was relatively not that difficult!
…
At the crime scene, investigators began to search, hoping to find the victim's head.
Ye Xiaoyu also led a team to visit and investigate the area.
Ye Mo continued to investigate the scene to see if he could find some evidence.
Normally, there are just a few types of evidence, such as fingerprints, footprints, and DNA.
This is the most convincing and direct evidence.
Ye Mo continued to examine the victim's body. He found that there were many cuts on the victim's neck bones, which once again confirmed his guess.
The murderer's murder weapon was a thin and thin knife with no cutting ability.
A fruit knife, an electrician's knife, even a pencil sharpener.
The murderer cut off the victim's head by sawing.
"Captain Ye, there is no blood around the body, and there are no signs of binding on the surrounding trees. This is enough to prove that this is just the scene where the body was dumped, not the first crime scene!" Zhang Xiaofan reported.
"Have you found any other footprints besides the one who reported the crime?" Ye Mo asked.
"No." Zhang Xiaofan shook his head.
"Then there's a high probability that the body was thrown down from the rural intersection above. There happens to be a slope here!" Lin Xuan said.
"But there are many thorny plants on the slope, but there are no obvious scratches or stab wounds on the victim's body. It seems a bit unreasonable!" Ye Mo said.
"Then this is strange. According to normal people's logical thinking, it is impossible to go through all the trouble to move the body here and dump it." Lin Xuan said.
"Yes, throwing the body down directly from above is undoubtedly the best way. However, the vegetation on the slope has no trace of being crushed at all, and there are no corresponding injuries on the victim's body. This means that the body did not roll from above. Come down!" Ye Mo said.
"Is it possible that after the murderer killed the victim, he carried him here? This is impossible!" Zhang Xiaofan felt that this did not make sense.
"The ground here is soft, and whether you are carrying or dragging it, it will leave deep footprints on the ground. However, at the time of the incident, the forensic doctor and the police did not detect any other footprints, except for the 20 meters away, except for the person who called the police. And his dog!" Lin Xuan said.
"Is the person who called the police still at the scene? Take me there, I want to find out." Ye Mo said.
"It's up there." Lin Xuan said.
"Okay!" Ye Mo nodded, then left the crime scene and came to the roadside on the top of the hillside.
A dozen onlookers gathered here.
The person who called the police was named Li Zhonggui, and he was holding a wolf dog in his hand and a very long shotgun on his back.
"Hello, please tell me the process of how you discovered the body!" Ye Mo said.
"The weather is nice today. I took my dog out to hunt hares. When I came here, the dog started howling. Usually in this case, there are either hares or snakes. I took off the dog leash. Open and let him chase me, but the dog didn’t dare to move forward even after he was halfway through the chase, and kept barking!”
"I walked over and took a closer look. I was so scared that I almost lost my soul, so I quickly went to the canteen over there to find a phone number to call the police!"
Li Zhonggui told the whole process of discovering the body in detail!
Ye Mo also recorded what he said in his notebook.
If it hadn't been for him going out hunting, it is estimated that no one would have discovered a body here in another half month, or even half a year.
This location is so remote that no one except Orion will visit it.
The murderer chose this location to dump the body, which proved that he had a certain IQ, had a careful plan, understood the nearby terrain, and was even a local.
In this day and age, there are too many unsolved cases.
There are so many nameless bodies registered that it’s hard to count.
If the victim had been discovered ten days and a half later, or half a year later, the chance of solving the case would have been slim.
After understanding the situation, Ye Mo had the body transported back to the forensic department of the detachment for autopsy.
The Anshui County Public Security Bureau does not have a forensic department, and there are only two forensic brigades in the city.
The body needs to further confirm the time of death, and heart blood must be drawn for testing to check for poisoning, etc.
No evidence could be found at the crime scene, so Ye Mo immediately closed the team.
Police power was very precious in this era, so Ye Mo tried not to waste excess police power.
For example, a police dog from the detachment came to look for the head or something.
According to Ye Mo's reasoning, it is basically impossible for the murderer to dump the victim's head nearby. Judging from the place he chose to dump the body, it proves that his IQ is not low!
The detachment was too far away from Anshui County, so Ye Mo set up the office of the task force at the Anshui County Public Security Bureau.
There are 12 members of the task force, including Zhang Xiaofan, Ye Xiaoyu and Lin Xuan.
There is also a captain from the local public security bureau!
The remaining members are all local police officers and they are relatively familiar with this place.
After investigation, Ye Mo learned that there was only one surveillance camera on the road leading to the crime scene, and the video saved by the camera was only 7 days old.
The local public security bureau has arranged for police officers to investigate the surveillance video and record all people who have been on the mountain in the past seven days.
Another group of police officers conducted a one-by-one investigation into Anpeng Town, where the crime occurred.
Because the murderer is probably a local!
After the investigation work is arranged, the next step is to confirm the identity of the victim!
Based on the characteristics of the body, the Anshui County Public Security Bureau issued a notice to find the body and began to search throughout the county.
The victim was a male, about 155cm tall, weighing about 160kg, with a disability in his left leg and a large allergic rash on his chest.
In addition, Ye Mo also retrieved information on missing persons in the entire city.
It was discovered that among all the registered missing persons, none matched the characteristics of the victim.
The victim had been dead for three days and had been missing for more than three days.
During these days, his relatives and friends did not report the crime.
Does that mean that this victim, like Liu Guihong in the previous case, is also a person living alone?
Moreover, the victim's genitals were brutally cut off.
This can easily lead to a motive for murder.
Generally speaking, the possibility of love killing is very high.
With normal thinking and logic, one would think that the victim most likely had an improper relationship with the murderer's wife or girlfriend.
Only after being discovered by the murderer would he take such a cruel way to vent his anger!
Three steps to solve the crime: confirm the identity of the victim, search for criminal evidence, and understand the motive of the crime!
But judging from the current situation, none of the three steps has made a substantial breakthrough!
