Chapter 1039 Headless Case
"They said there were no cases, but two cases came at once. Are you sure they are all homicides?"
Upon hearing that the two mutilated bodies were found in Qinghe City, Huang Qiangmin immediately came over to take a look.
In the dissection room of Building 9, one dissection bed contained headless, fleshless bones, while another dissection bed contained only five fingers.
Jiang Yuan was giving injections to five fingers. He nodded and said, "The headless corpse must be a murder. As for these five fingers, we need to study them further."
These five fingers are wrinkled. Due to dehydration, the surface of the fingers is wrinkled. If you directly press the fingerprint, there will be a lot of wrinkles, and the fingerprints will be unusable. The solution is also very simple, just inject glycerin or air.
This is what Jiang Yuan is doing. He pinches the severed finger and injects the injection into the needle from the side of the finger, diagonally toward the paper surface. It feels like adding sauce to the chicken wings when cooking them.
Huang Qiangmin frowned and asked, "What is our plan now?"
"I think we should give priority to the unsolved cases. As for these five fingers, we can do some related investigations first."
"Oh?"
Jiang Yuan: "I asked Wang Chuanxing to check the cases in the past two weeks. There are no serious cases such as chopped hands. These five fingers were cut from the left hand of the corpse. There are no signs of life. It can only mean that there is a chopped-off arm or corpse behind it, but it is not necessarily a murder. It may also be a normal corpse abandonment."
"Have you asked the hospital and the school?" Huang Qiangmin reacted immediately.
"I asked, and they all said there was no body missing," Wang Chuanxing replied.
In fact, the police often encounter similar situations. It cannot be said to be normal corpse abandonment, but it is not a normal murder case either. It can only be said that some people who have come into contact with the corpse are irresponsible and discard the corpse or part of the human tissue for various reasons.
The latter is the most common, especially on fingers, arms, legs, etc. It can't be said to be very frequent, but there are always similar situations.
Those who throw away corpses include doctors and medical students, university faculty or cleaners, and often also the deceased's family members. This is especially true in areas where superstitious activities are rampant. Some people steal corpses to accompany the dead, and some people just throw their fingers after a superstitious ceremony.
Huang Qiangmin nodded slowly: "Indeed, if it is a murder case, there is no reason to throw five fingers on the roadside. That is a residential area, and it is not a good place to abandon a body."
"My finger was almost eaten by a dog." Wang Lan added as he put the finger in a lunch box.
"So, if you want to destroy the body, just get a dog." Huang Qiangmin shook his head and said, "Throwing the finger in a residential area is a bit unreasonable. Throwing it in the wilderness will be easier to cover up."
"We can just dig a hole and bury it." Mu Zhiyang cooperated.
"The most important thing is the rest of the body. If it's just the fingers, it's probably not a murder, but it's more likely that the body was abandoned." Huang Qiangmin's train of thought soon became clear. Thinking of two murders becoming one, he couldn't help but laugh: "I remember a case I encountered before, where a worker's palm was cut off. Well, this was a tragic thing, but after the operation, he asked to take the palm back home. At that time, the management was not strict, so the doctor gave it to him."
Huang Qiangmin spoke like an old criminal policeman: "This guy wanted to take his palm back home, but he didn't know what to do with it, so he soaked it in sorghum wine. Later, when he moved, it was difficult to take it with him, so he poured out the wine and threw the palm into the garbage dump, and then let a cat dig it out..."
Huang Qiangmin's face was full of memories: "We couldn't find him at that time because he had moved away. The police were not dispatched so quickly back then. The police officers in the police station used to walk. When we arrived, the garbage dump was surrounded by three layers of garbage. People started to spread the word that soaking hands in wine can cure rheumatism..."
Wang Lan wanted to laugh but didn't dare to: "That must be very stressful."
"Of course." Huang Qiangmin hissed, "There was no surveillance at the time, and we don't know who lost the severed palm. It's been a long time since the palm was cut off, not to mention there's no record in the hospital, and it could easily mislead us... It consumed a lot of police force at the time."
"How was it finally solved?"
"I heard that the guy who lost the severed palm turned himself in later." Huang Qiangmin spread his hands, "Four or five days were wasted. So, I agree with you choosing the case of the headless corpse as a priority."
Jiang Yuan nodded: "However, the fingerprints of the fried fingers are still not very clear. I may need more time to compare. Let me finish the fingerprints of these five fingers first."
Even if the finger case is not that urgent, the fingerprints must be taken while they are still fresh.
After taking the fingerprints, if they can be matched, that's the best. If not, you can put them in the fingerprint database and wait for the opportunity. Otherwise, the information of just five fingers is too little.
Soon, Jiang Yuan injected his five fingers respectively. After pressing the fingerprints, he marked them and put them into the computer to run the database himself.
20 candidate fingerprints soon appeared in the right column.
Jiang Yuan sat up straight and looked at them one by one.
After seeing only the fourth one, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but pick up the mouse, click the zoom button, and compare them carefully.
Because it is a wrinkled fingerprint, there are some changes compared to a plump finger, which also makes the fingerprint appear somewhat distorted.
But these are not problems.
For incomplete fingerprints with few markings, people care about the slightest distortion for fear of misidentification.
The fingerprint of the wrinkled finger is complete, and the fingerprint in Curry is also complete. In other words, there are at least dozens of marking points between the two. With a slight comparison, they can be confirmed to be the same.
Not to mention, there are 4 more fingers that can be used for verification.
However, when Jiang Yuan clicked on the information of the owner of the finger, he was a little surprised.
"There is no record of death." Jiang Yuan frowned, then clicked on the personal information to see: "There is a record of checking in a hotel 20 days ago."
This doesn't seem like a normal corpse dump.
Huang Qiangmin, who just felt a little relieved, lost his smile in an instant.
"Who is the victim?"
"Unemployed." Jiang Yuan said, waving his hand and calling Wang Chuanxing over, asking him to check carefully.
As far as the police's current system is concerned, it is very easy to check a specific person. E-commerce systems have long been real-name systems, and multiple residential addresses are often posted. Various food delivery apps, taxi apps, ticket booking apps and payment systems also record customer information in great detail.
In comparison, information on social software is a little more time-consuming because there are too many people and chat content. Reading each one is a waste of time, and most people have to search by keywords.
This kind of data mining work can be very professional, but for Jiang Yuan’s current needs, Wang Chuanxing at level 0.8 is enough.
Soon, Wang Chuanxing's eyes left the notebook:
"Kou Yu. Male. 32 years old. Unemployed. Owns two houses and a car. Both are registered in Changyang City. His income mainly comes from rent. He rents out both houses and earns about 15000 yuan a month. He rents a small apartment near the Changyang Airport, with expenses of 3000 yuan. The difference is 12000 yuan."
Wang Chuanxing said this, glanced at the screen again, and said: "He doesn't have a stable girlfriend. He has two WeChat accounts and chats with dozens of people at the same time. He often makes WeChat calls for a long time. In addition, he probably has a hobby of cycling, rides frequently, and travels frequently..."
