Chapter 406: Assembling The Remains

Lin Dongxue said, "Your reasoning ability is superb! Teach me!"

"No need . Your investigative ability is much better than before . "

"How can I compare with you though?" Lin Dongxue whispered sweetly .

"Okay, okay, I'll teach you . " Chen Shi looked around . "Do you see the blue house over there?"

"I do, what's wrong?"

Chen Shi said deeply, "This house caught fire three years ago . "

"How do you know?"

Chen Shi laughed . "Because I was passing by back then . I called the firefighters over as well . ”

"How is that reasoning? You’re playing with me, huh?" Lin Dongxue raised her fist .

"Okay, okay, don’t hit me . We should go to the next high building . "

Lin Dongxue pointed to a building in the distance . "That one? God, we still need to walk a long way . How about going by car?"

"Let's walk . Maybe we’ll be able to find some clues on the way over . "

"Haii, why doesn’t Long’an have any superheroes that punish evil? It’d be nice if we could ask superheroes to do such laborious work . "

"It's better not to have superheroes . "

"Why?"

"When there are superheroes, there are super villains . Everything in the world is balanced . Let's go!"

"So, if us police are a little stupid, the bad guys will be a little stupid as well?"

"Haha, you can implement your own ideals . "

"That’s a roundabout way of saying that I’m stupid . " Lin Dongxue, who was walking behind Chen Shi, kicked him from behind .

On the way to the building, the two of them suddenly saw a group of school children playing with a balloon . The balloon had already deflated quite a bit but hadn’t popped . Chen Shi immediately stopped the child and said, "Child, where did you get the balloon from?"

The child looked at Chen Shi and was a little scared . He was about to escape . Chen Shi grabbed his arm and he started wailing immediately .

Lin Dongxue said softly, "Can you tell Elder Sister where you picked up the balloon? Here, Elder Sister will give you a piece of candy to eat . " She took out a piece of chewing gum .

The child didn’t accept it and pointed to the front saying, "There!"

"Can you give the balloon to Elder Sister?"

"No, I found it first!"

"Can Elder Sister buy it from you?"

"Then give me five yuan . "

Lin Dongxue didn’t have any change . Chen Shi fished out five coins and gave them to him and the child happily ran away with his companions .

The two walked towards the area that the child had pointed towards and passed through an alley where there was a courtyard formed by surrounding buildings . It was surrounded by garbage and had messy graffiti on the walls . A solitary black bag had fallen onto the ground .

Chen Shi put on his gloves and opened it . A rancid smell from the corpse floated out . He said, "Yes! We found another bag!"

"Let’s hurry up and bring it back . "

At that time, a press conference was being held in the bureau . Lin Qiupu answered questions raised by various media reporters one by one . Of course, most of it were official words meant to smooth over the situation .

Back at the bureau, Old Zhang was waiting for them at the door and said, "Come in quickly . Don't let the reporters see, or they’ll ask questions again . ”

"Captain Lin is still entertaining reporters?" Lin Dongxue asked .

"Yeah, the questions get trickier than the last . The matter has already become a big scandal . The chief has ordered that the case be solved within seven days . Captain Lin had also responded to the reporters in the same way . If we can’t solve it during this timeframe, the second team will lose a lot of face . "

Chen Shi replied, "Seven days is enough!"

Old Zhang said with a smile, "If Little Chen says so, then my heart will be reassured . "

"I speculate that the murder occurred last night . Most hotel surveillance will be overwritten after seven days . If it cannot be solved within seven days, there may be no evidence left . "

"Hotel?"

"Old Zhang, I'll tell you later!"

By this time, including the two bags found in the morning, four bags of corpse fragments had been found, one after the other . The remains were more or less assembled and only the most critical part was missing - The head .

As Chen Shi expected, the first breakthrough in the murder case was the source of the balloons . Lin Qiupu had already sent someone to investigate .

Chen Shi asked to take a look at the corpse and went to the forensic laboratory . He saw the broken corpse on the autopsy table . The female body had been cut into dozens of pieces . He picked up a piece and looked at the edges . He asked, "Was she sawed apart?"

"I don't know what kind of saw was used . I’ve already asked someone to buy a pig and bring it back so that we can do an experiment . " Peng Sijue said .

"When you’re done, I'll take a pound of pork belly back!"

Peng Sijue rolled his eyes at him, "Look at the corpse's palm . "

When he opened the palm and looked at it, he saw that the entire palm was blackened, as if it had been burnt by fire . A closer look revealed that the murderer had first cut it with a knife and then burnt it with fire . The fingerprints and palm prints were completely destroyed .

Chen Shi picked up the broken hand and inspected the edges under the light, saying, "The fire was very focused . The edge of the palm is hardly damaged . It should be something like a blowtorch . The kind with the canisters used in western restaurants . "

"The killer didn't want us to find out the identity of the victim . "

“We probably won’t be able to find the head either . "

The two looked at the place where the missing head belonged for a moment before Chen Shi asked, "What about other findings?"

"There are more than a dozen injuries on the body that were sustained while she was alive . They’re concentrated on the legs, ribs, and buttocks . Most of them were cut with sharp tools, but there were no fatal injuries . I suspect that she died from the loss of blood . Her hands and ankles show traces of being bound . One of her nipples was cut off and there are signs of sexual assault in both the vagina and anus . "

"Was there-”

"There aren’t any traces of semen . The killer was quite cautious . In addition, the deceased was injected with a large amount of a type of methamphetamine, which is commonly known as the drug called ‘ice’ . Needle wounds were found around the collarbone . "

Chen Shi, who was always calm, also frowned . "A carnivalesque sexual abuse case . . . There have been no such cases before . At least not in Long’an anyway . "

"Because the corpse has been broken up like this, it’s difficult to determine the exact time of death . The preliminary judgment was around twenty hours ago, between 8 and 12 o'clock last night . "

"Were there any stomach contents?"

Peng Sijue actually smiled grimly . "The murderer turned the stomach bag inside out and washed it clean . It seems that he knew that what the deceased ate would expose him . My men are testing the intestinal contents of the deceased and the residual components in the stomach . "

Chen Shi walked around the body, thinking about what else had been left out . He raised the hand of the deceased to examine it . He reached out and gestured; Peng Sijue understood and passed the magnifying glass into his hand .

Chen Shi used the magnifying glass to look at the fingernails of the deceased for a while, and then looked at it under the light, saying, "Two layers of nail polish . The upper layer is newly painted . . . "

He smelled the corpse . In addition to the pungent odor of the internal organs, he carefully identified a perfume smell . "She had put on perfume . "

Then he checked the feet of the deceased . "She wore high heels when she was alive . . . From the shape of her feet and legs, she doesn't usually wear high heels . . . This was a sudden date . It may have been the first time that they met . The deceased and the killer have widely different social positions . You can see that the victim was trying very hard to please the killer . Perhaps it was a male god[1] like an idol or something?"

Chen Shi closed his eyes and imagined a high-end hotel, in which the meticulously dressed-up ordinary girl was very nervous and excited to have dinner with the male god in her heart . In his imagination, the faces of the two were blurred .

After eating dinner, the male god showed his "treasure" to the girl . The girl was very afraid because it was a drug, but the male god still asked her or forced her to try it .

Under the influence of drugs, the two began to let go of their restraints and misgivings and did some crazy things . Gradually, the girl found that the scale of this madness was getting bigger and bigger and that he was hurting her .

"Blowjob . " Chen Shi said with keen eyes . "It was a blowjob . "
