Chapter 1072 Focus on Investigation
Sitting in the brand new GL8, Dai Mingsheng couldn't wait to ask, "Captain Jiang, has the cause of death been determined?"
"Mechanical asphyxiation. Someone must have covered her mouth and nose from behind and suffocated her to death." Jiang Yuan paused and said more clearly, "She had sexual intercourse before death, but I'm not sure if she was raped. In addition, the deceased's resistance was very weak. She might have been drugged. It depends on the results of toxicology..."
"Time of death?"
"It was around 4 o'clock in the morning."
"That is to say, Li Aiyuan died right after she finished filming her scenes that day."
"more or less."
"That's right. Given her level of popularity, if she had appeared on the set later, someone would have remembered her. The body wasn't found until the next morning, which means she was killed after she disappeared."
"She was still well-groomed before her death. Her clothes and shoes were basically clean. Whether she was exercising actively or passively, there was basically no violence involved in the process..."
Jiang Yuan spoke in detail for several minutes, telling Dai Mingsheng all the conclusions of the autopsy.
In criminal investigation, information exchange within the same team is very important. If there is a mismatch in information, people may die. Especially when decisive evidence is found, it is more important to report it immediately than to rush to the scene to solve the case. Because independent actions are uncontrollable, if one or two people die, all the discoveries will be wasted.
On the other hand, even if the arrest is delayed due to reporting the situation, it usually has no impact and the person can be arrested later.
For guest troops like Jiang Yuan, communication with Dai Mingsheng should be more frequent and clearer, otherwise it will be very troublesome if trust issues arise later.
Dai Mingsheng took notes as he listened.
As a "foreign aid king", Dai Mingsheng has cooperated with many experts from all over the country, and has been accepted to handle cases in other places. He can see people from ministries and commissions from time to time. Therefore, Dai Mingsheng is also very good at cooperating with various heroes.
It has to be said that qualified experts have different personalities, especially those senior experts who have been working for 30 or 40 years. They don’t need to be very cautious. In other words, they are only cautious on critical issues and are very casual at other times. At this time, Dai Mingsheng needs to show his ability and adaptability.
In comparison, Jiang Yuan has mostly been working as a foreign aid in the past two years, and he has become familiar with team cooperation even if he doesn't want to.
When both of them used their emotional intelligence, communication immediately became extremely smooth.
When it was time to get off the bus, Dai Mingsheng wished he could keep Jiang Yuan with him forever.
Film and Television City.
Although it was already 4 a.m., from afar, there were still dots of lights on in the film and television city. Some were crews racing against time to shoot night scenes or indoor scenes, and some were dressing rooms preparing for the morning scenes.
The location where Li Aiyuan died was an independent Ming-style courtyard, quite large and filled with equipment. Perhaps because the crew members evacuated in a hurry, the ground was filled with all kinds of objects.
A long line of police cars parked outside the yard and immediately ushered in the staff of the film and television city. Soon, the relevant leaders of the film and television city also came to report, yawning.
Dai Mingsheng ignored them all and just asked Jiang Yuan: "Should I ask them something?"
"Is the on-site protection good?" Jiang Yuan had no intention of asking the staff of the film and television city.
Dai Mingsheng nodded and said, "After the incident, I had the scene sealed off. What you are seeing now is basically the initial state."
"Then there's no need to ask them, we can go in by ourselves." Jiang Yuan looked at the time again and said, "We'll try to complete the survey before dawn."
"So fast?" Dai Mingsheng was a little surprised. The area inside was quite large. Not only could it accommodate more than 60 crew members, but there was also a large area for set design and filming.
Jiang Yuan didn't need to explain the specific technical content, he just nodded and said: "It's enough. After dawn, we will check the situation under the sun and make up for any deficiencies. Oh, by the way, we can call a few unrelated lighting technicians over and make use of all the lights in here."
"No problem. I'll do it right away." Dai Mingsheng responded immediately.
His attitude towards Jiang Yuan now can be said to be quite respectful, and his emotional value is basically at the maximum.
Apart from anything else, the results of Jiang Yuan's autopsy alone were already quite surprising. It was not like he had never seen forensic conclusions that were this detailed before, but many of them were actually written after combining the scene. Forensic conclusions that could truly give guiding conclusions were usually more basic.
Dai Mingsheng didn't need to verify it. Just because Jiang Yuan could and dared to give, he knew that he had met a ruthless person.
Immediately afterwards, as Jiang Yuan entered the crime scene, Dai Mingsheng followed closely behind, also putting on a mask, hood and foot covers, and went straight in.
The criminal justice technicians from Lanyue City who were traveling with them had rarely seen such a scene, and they were a little nervous when they thought of their boss following behind them.
"Take photos and put labels first. Put up wooden bridges at all locations we pass through, preferably transparent ones. Leave all footprints, and no one is allowed to extract footprints without my permission..." Jiang Yuan explained his requirements to the unfamiliar criminal justice personnel.
He had worked with criminal science technicians from many places, some rough and some meticulous, but there were no major problems with basic operations. As long as clear requirements were made and some restrictions were made, the effect would be similar to that of the criminal science technicians brought in. After all, Ningtai County was not a precious place, and it would be a waste of fuel to bring in Wang Zhong-level surveyors.
Liu Jinghui waited until everything was arranged before coming in, holding a PAD in his hand and making notes on it as he walked.
Jiang Yuan saw that he was more skilled than himself and asked in surprise, "Director Liu, what are you doing?"
"I'm checking the crew's movements at the time." Liu Jinghui stared at the PAD and said, "There are 64 people in the crew involved in the case. Excluding the victim, there are 63 people. These people have been interrogated for several hours. Their activities and words in the crew have been repeatedly questioned. In addition, based on the time points and content of their confessions, we will see if there are any contradictions."
Liu Jinghui was quite excited when he spoke. To him, this was a standard detective drama. Although it was not appropriate to describe it as a "feast" because of the victims, subconsciously, this was the kind of case Liu Jinghui was most willing to handle.
The 63 people involved in the case are both 63 suspects and 63 eyewitnesses.
The most traditional and direct way is to verify their alibi. The murderer needs time to kill, which means the alibi is missing or forged.
Expose their lies and prove their crimes - in Liu Jinghui's opinion, this is the coolest thing!
Liu Jinghui quickly opened the software on the pad and showed it to Jiang Yuan: "I first checked a few key crew members. For example, the first person I checked was the director. He was basically in an environment with people the whole time. For example, the script supervisor followed him most of the time. During the period, the director went to the bathroom once. This was the longest time he was out of sight, about 15 minutes."
"15 minutes is a bit long." Jiang Yuan expressed a little doubt.
Liu Jinghui raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Constipation, hemorrhoids, dry stool. He went to the toilet around 10 o'clock that day, and then he went to the bathroom several hours later. It should be normal."
"Okay, the director is no longer suspected for the time being."
"The male lead, the photographer, the photography assistant, and the lighting, basically all work in front of people, so they can be ruled out..."
Jiang Yuan thought about it and said, "If that's the case, the cast and crew members in the main positions are less likely to be suspected."
Liu Jinghui said: "That's right, what we really need to pay attention to is..."
"We have set a time!"
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted outside.
Wang Chuanxing also came over to report immediately: "I think a crew has reserved this location and now wants to shoot, and they think we are taking up too much time."
