Snapped--!

The cowhide notebook hit the ground hard, saving Chen Jie from the Sandman in an instant. She almost jumped up from her seat.

"Ha--" Chen Jie yawned sleepily, scratched her hair and looked at the time, 5:24.

"woke up?"

Chen Jie quickly turned her head. The desk behind her was Li Zan, who was browsing the transcripts of the mutilation case. There was no trace of exhaustion from staying up all night on the other person's face. There was not even a drop of oil on his face. He was clean and refreshing, which made people jealous.

"Captain Li, have you been up all night?

Li Zan didn't reply. He took a sip of strong tea and his mind was filled with the contents of the case transcript.

Time goes back to yesterday afternoon at 3:30 -

"Next." Li Zan: "The trace inspection department will come first."

The representative of the Trace Inspection Department is their senior trace inspection engineer. He is old and has an honest and ordinary appearance. He wears thick-soled glasses and looks like he is doing academic research: "The crime scene is in a village in the city. It is surrounded by apartments and rental houses.

The farmer's building usually has a large flow of people, so traces of the scene are basically destroyed and no useful clues can be found."

"All the items in the well have been recovered, and nothing belonging to the deceased has been found after analysis and testing. In other words, the murderer may still have the deceased's clothes, or he may throw them away from the crime scene."

Chen Jie: "If I were the murderer, I would definitely throw it far away to prevent the police from finding out the identity of the deceased."

The representative of the Trace Inspection Section nodded: "In homicide cases, the murderer disposed of the deceased and his clothes separately in order to erase traces of the crime, reduce clues to solve the case, and prevent the police from finding out the identity of the deceased. The purpose is to hinder the police from solving the case."

Lao Zeng continued: "However, the murderer's subconscious behavior just shows that he knew the deceased and had a certain connection."

In a murder case, the first suspect in criminal investigation is the person who has the closest contact with the deceased.

Li Zan: "Didn't you find the deceased's missing ear beads?"

Representative from the Trace Inspection Department: “No.”

Li Zan: "Have the results of the lady's wallet and blood sample I asked Lao Zeng to bring come out?"

Zhong Xueru immediately said: "After testing, the blood sample results were the same as the deceased's DNA. The woman's wallet had two fingerprints, one was the same as the deceased, and the other was different. We compared the fingerprint database and found no identical fingerprints."

"No criminal record." Ji Chengling said.

There was a large flow of people at the crime scene, many traces were basically destroyed, and no useful clues could be found.

At present, the identity of the deceased cannot be found, and the first crime scene is unknown. There are no clues except a pile of broken corpses.

"Look for missing persons cases in the past four days." Li Zan said: "Wang, are there any clues in the surveillance video?"

Behind Chen Jie, Wang had no sense of presence. It wasn't until he was named that he attracted everyone's attention.

He said: "The Trace Inspection Section took surveillance cameras installed at the entrances of Lanes 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 within 4 days, and we found a total of 57 suitcases. The bags passed through these five lane entrances respectively.

Suspicious person."

"Excluding the busy time period from day to midnight, there are 13 people left. Excluding those who entered Alley 7, there are a total of 5 people."

Chen Jie: “Why exclude Lane 7?”

"Because the alleyway in Lane 7 is blocked." Wang tapped on the computer, and a photo appeared on the multimedia screen, which showed the alleyway in Lane 7 that was blocked by debris.

Li Zan: "The main road can lead to every alley, and surveillance cameras are installed at the alley entrances. But there are also narrow alleys between buildings without surveillance cameras. This shows that the murderer chose the old well as the place to dump the body.

He is familiar with the terrain and will naturally choose small alleys without surveillance."

Wang nodded and continued: "We are already investigating the identities of these five people. Other than that, the surveillance cameras inside the apartment have no useful clues."

There is very little information, but within half a day, enough clues have been obtained for a vicious corpse dismemberment case that is not a crime scene.

Ji Chengling admitted that the case was very difficult and the only direction of investigation was to monitor the five suspicious persons.

The conference room was very quiet, with only the sound of typing on the keyboard and the sound of ballpoint pens taking notes. Everyone was trying to find the murderer from clues.

"To summarize." Li Zan suddenly spoke.

Chen Jie and Ji Chengling found that others had put down their work and listened attentively, as if Li Zan could guide them in finding the direction in the fog as soon as he opened his mouth.

"The deceased lived in Liulian and knew the murderer. The murderer is familiar with the terrain and is most likely a local resident or tenant. First, look for missing persons in the past four days, then check the population of Liulian, and secondly, pay attention to the second-hand mobile phone market in Dongcheng District in the past four days.

transactions, focusing on second-hand mobile phones of unknown origin.”

Everyone else nodded in agreement, and Ji Chengling asked: "Why do you pay attention to the second-hand mobile phone market?"

"Because the deceased was robbed before his death." Li Zan closed the file and threw it back to Lao Zeng, saying, "Old Zhong, throw the bag over here."

Zhong Xueru threw the lady's bag in the evidence bag, and Li Zan easily caught it and placed it on the table. His index finger pointed at the nameplate of the lady's wallet: "Chen Jie, if it were you, would you throw away this bag?"

Chen Jie leaned over and saw the golden nameplate on the lady's wallet, and immediately shook her head: "Absolutely not! Prada, brand new, the price is around 1,300. I'm afraid it will break when I install my mobile phone."

Li Zan: "There is a dent the size of a mobile phone in the wallet."

Chen Jie shrugged: "Obviously more generous than me."

Ji Chengling asked unconvinced: "How are you sure that the deceased was robbed? It may be that the murderer threw away his wallet."

Li Zan: "If it was the murderer, he would not have carefully removed anything inside that could prove the identity of the deceased, and then carelessly threw the wallet under the trash can. Moreover, there were scratches on the temples of the deceased, and the blood stains found in the alley were far from the ground.

The height is about 1.5 meters, excluding the possibility of blood stains dripping from the dumped body - checking the surveillance cameras in Alley 9 and Alley 10 from 8 pm to 2 am 5 days ago, we should be able to find the owner of another fingerprint."

Wang: "Okay."

Chen Jie quietly moved behind Lao Zeng and asked: "Since it is confirmed that the deceased and the murderer live in Liulian Village, and the surveillance cameras have also found five suspects, why do we have to go to such trouble to find a robber?"

"Because we can't let go of any possibility." Lao Zeng said while sorting out the information: "Maybe the robber happened to see the deceased. Maybe the five suspects were not the murderers. Maybe our guess was wrong, and neither the deceased nor the murderer lived in Liulian Village.

.Perhaps the robber stole money and killed people at the same time - in criminal investigation cases, especially murder cases, you have to pursue the highest efficiency, and you can't let go of even the smallest clue."

"Wow!" Chen Jie realized later: "With just a few clues and in such a short time, Team Li summarized such complete information."

"...This is too awesome."

She seemed to understand a little bit what she meant when she left last term.

Lao Zeng smiled: "Let's get to work."

――――

Chen Jie: "Captain Li, you gave a gift to the economic investigation team yesterday, right?"

Yesterday afternoon, after the meeting, Li Zan walked into the door of the Economic Investigation Department next door carrying a large gift bag. When he came out, the gift box in his hand was gone.

Li Zan looked up at her: "Guess what I want to do?"

"It's not very good..." Chen Jie pretended to decline, then quickly changed her face after two seconds: "Are you sending favors in advance to help solve the case?"

Li Zan took out a Java course design book from the side and rolled it into a volume: "I have an insight into every detail, and I have a sharp eye. If I don't give you any reward, I would be too stingy."

Chen Jie stood at attention and straightened her back, saying with dignity and dignity: "Give me another chance, I can do it!"

"explain."

"Your gift bag box yesterday was bright red, with a yellow Forbidden City pattern printed on the upper right corner. My dad is a regular smoker, so I know that pattern is the logo of Zhonghua Cigarettes. In addition, the bottom of the gift bag box is protruding, which reflects the weight of the cigarettes.

The gift box will not be crushed unless there is wine inside! A pair of smokers and wine, two children, a double happiness, boss, how do you think I hold it up?"

"There must be a place for you under the overpass."

"My level is average, and I am a low-key person." Chen Jie modestly said: "So you are promoting business for the economic investigation? Are you cheating on tobacco and alcohol?"

Criminal investigation and economic investigation are affiliated to the criminal police department. The former handles criminal investigation work, while the latter handles major economic crimes, such as major tobacco and alcohol fraud cases.

Li Zan snapped his fingers: "Smart."

Before Chen Jie could get happy, Li Zan pushed all the information on the table to her: "Don't live up to dad's earnest expectations for you. Read them all today and report them in the evening. Come on, I'm very optimistic about you."

Chen Jie: "..."

Is this still a person?

boom--!

The door of the criminal investigation office was kicked open, and Ji Chengling rushed in, followed by the slow Wang and Lao Zeng. The three of them stood in front of Li Zan. The huge dark circles under his eyes were medals for staying up all night.

Ji Chengling: "We investigated and compared the five suspicious persons who appeared in the surveillance, and the result was that they had nothing to do with the murder."

Lao Zeng: “The identity of the deceased has been confirmed.”

Hearing this, everyone's attention shifted to Lao Zeng.

"Two days ago, someone came to the police station to report a case, saying that her sister had been missing for two days. The missing woman's name is Xiao Hua, 24 years old, 1.62 meters tall and weighing 45 kilograms. She is an employee of a nightclub in Jinyuan Plaza. Jin

Yuan Square and Liulian Village are separated by a big road, so many tenants in Liulian Village work in the square." Old Zeng handed a note to Li Zan: "Xiao Hua lives in a farmer's building in Lane 11 of Liulian Village.

The top floor is the staff dormitory rented by the company."

Li Zan: "Have you compared DNA?"

"The results came out and it was confirmed that they are the same person."

The transcript contains a one-inch bareheaded photo of Xiao Hua, with a beautiful appearance and clear eyes, while the autopsy photo next to it shows a swollen and rotting head. The contrast is stark and tragic, which is saddening.

Wang said weakly: "After watching the surveillance cameras from 8 o'clock in the evening to 2 o'clock in the morning five days ago, we found the suspect of the robbery. At about 11 o'clock, a man of medium build passed by Alley 10 and snatched away the deceased's wallet.

Finally, pour out the valuable things inside and throw them into the trash can. If you didn’t throw them in, they fell down.”

"By the way. Xiao Hua didn't appear in the surveillance. She probably took the unmonitored alleyway back to the dormitory in Lane 11."
