"Xiao Qin, this is your first time to go to the police. Brother Tang, there are rules here that I can explain to you in advance."
Tang Wenqing, who was driving and waiting for the red light, held a Yellow Crane Tower in his mouth and chatted with Qin Feng beside him about things to pay attention to when he arrived at the scene.
"Smoking is not allowed on site, and masks, gloves, goggles, and hats must be worn. Small evidence must be put into evidence bags with tweezers..."
Qin Feng listened drowsily.
These basic precautions are tested in schools, so he must understand them.
However, he still expressed his gratitude on the face:
"Yeah, thanks for the reminder, Brother Tang."
Looking sideways at Qin Feng, who had a good study attitude, Tang Wenqing, who felt a bit proud of his apprentice, put out his cigarette on the ashtray above the center console, then kicked the accelerator and sped towards the scene.
Jiangcheng Xingda Freight Station.
One of the warehouses was blocked by a local police cordon.
Many sorting workers gathered outside the cordon and talked.
Tang Wenqing and Qin Feng opened the cordon as soon as they got off the bus and walked into the freight station warehouse.
"Tang Wenqing, the serious case team, tell me, what's going on?"
Tang Wenqing asked after showing his police officer's certificate to the film police responsible for maintaining order at the scene.
"The person in charge of this freight station called the police and reported that workers discovered a package during sorting that could not be contacted by the consignee."
"Just when the workers were about to return the goods to the sender's original address according to normal procedures, they smelled a foul smell coming from the carton during the transportation process."
While talking, the police officer called the worker near the cordon.
"Take me to see that box."
As a criminal police officer who has been working officially for two and a half years, Tang Wenqing roughly guessed what was going on inside the box.
The worker nodded, then cooperated with several people into the warehouse, and pointed out a cardboard box the size of a color TV among a pile of goods:
"Officer, this is the box."
"It really stinks. I wonder if it was a dead pig sent from a pig farm."
Sure enough, before they even got close, they smelled the stench in the air.
The smell is like a rotting dead pig on a hot day, making people unable to help but feel their stomach juices churning.
When the policemen and workers arrived here, their faces were already pale.
Tang Wenqing put on gloves, leg gloves, headgear and mask, and waved to Qin Feng to wait at the door.
Unexpectedly, Qin Feng followed Tang Wenqing's example and dressed up like Tang Wenqing, and followed Tang Wenqing's stride towards the carton.
Tang Wenqing turned his head and glanced at Qin Feng, who had a calm face, and felt a little more praise in his heart.
Yao recalled that when he followed his master to the police for the first time, he happened to come across a corpse case.
Before he even got close to the scene, the extremely unpleasant stench made him vomit outside the cordon.
Different from other odors, this nerve-level odor is engraved in human DNA and pervasive, and it is very difficult for people to resist.
At that time, within half a month after seeing the body, he felt like vomiting when he saw braised pork in the police canteen.
Pulling his thoughts back from his memories, Tang Wenqing motioned to Qin Feng to hold the camera and take notes.
Then he squatted down and looked at the stinking cardboard box.
This was 2012, and the express delivery industry had no regulations for scanning objects before delivery.
Among them, the freight terminal is the most lax.
As soon as Tang Wenqing focused his eyes on the invoice, he noticed something strange.
I saw that the sender's address on the manifest was a suburban freight station in Dongxihu District, Jiangcheng City.
The recipient also had a bad name, and the phone number couldn't be reached.
Seeing this, Qin Feng shook his head and said:
"I didn't even write down the entire delivery address, just Xingda Freight Station in Jiangxia District."
"And this phone call can't be reached. Maybe it's just a message made by the mailer."
Tang Wenqing nodded, carefully removed the freight bill and put it into the evidence bag.
The smell currently emanating from the box is really frowning upon.
However, as a professional criminal policeman, Tang Wenqing opened the package without saying a word.
As the package was opened, Qin Feng looked over with his camera and found a bundle of quilts inside the box.
And as Tang Wenqing untied a corner of the outer quilt, a naked female corpse appeared underneath!
The moment the quilt was lifted, a shocking stench erupted from the female body.
Outside the cordon, some workers who wanted to watch the excitement asked about the smell and backed away.
Several policemen responsible for maintaining order also looked pale and had Adam's apples surging. Apparently they couldn't bear the smell of corpses.
After Qin Feng finished taking pictures, Tang Wenqing frowned and opened the quilt completely three times.
At this time, Qin Feng saw that the female body was curled up and tied with ropes. It was tied very professionally, as if it was done by professional packers.
The face of the corpse has been slightly decomposed, but the face can be roughly distinguished.
Judging from his appearance, he has an average-to-upper appearance, no makeup, messy hair, and no strands of hair on his upper body.
There was also a thick kitchen knife underneath the female corpse's head. It was unknown whether it was the murder weapon.
What is even more shocking is that the female corpse's female features were dug out by the murderer. The two wounds under the dried blood made the eyes physically uncomfortable.
"hiss..."
Tang Wenqing, who had extensive experience in handling cases, couldn't help but take a breath when he saw this.
"Trouble, murder case."
"Xiao Qin, if you can hold on, take photos and record the scene first."
"In this case, I have to call the captain."
After saying that, he walked out of the warehouse with an anxious look on his face and made a phone call.
Qin Feng took advantage of this time to carefully observe the female corpse.
The first is the appearance. Due to the hot weather, the abdomen of this corpse has begun to show slight swelling, which should be the early stage of giantism.
The estimated time of death was 2-4 days ago.
Moreover, the spot-like corpse spots on the face of the female corpse were obvious and widely distributed.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Feng squatted down and opened the female corpse's closed eyelids to check the color and size of the pupils.
The results showed that there were round and pinpoint-sized bleeding spots near the fornix and the inner and outer canthus of the eyelid conjunctiva of the deceased, showing a reddish-brown distribution.
After checking the pupils, he opened the female corpse's mouth and found that the wear on the tips of the teeth was not serious.
However, its teeth appear rose-colored on the surface of the tooth neck.
Qin Feng, who was certain in his heart, immediately pushed the female corpse's neck gently back.
Observing his throat, he found a deep purple mark, which seemed to have been caused by a rope-like object as thick as a telephone cord.
As for the lack of features on the chest of the female corpse, it can be roughly determined by the blood coagulation that the deceased was cut off after death.
Seeing this, Qin Feng stood up and had a preliminary conclusion in his mind.
At this moment, Tang Wenqing finished his phone call and returned to the warehouse.
"Xiao Qin, your technique is very professional."
"Tell me, what did you see?"
Before he entered the warehouse, he saw Qin Feng observing the corpse carefully, so he asked with interest.
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng pointed at the corpse with firm eyes and made a judgment:
"This was a homicide and the actual cause of death was mechanical asphyxia."
"It seems that we have to start the investigation from the freight terminal at the place of shipment..."
