Chapter 590 One True and One False

Chen Yi opened the file.

The three victims still have something in common, that is, they all live in Jingcheng Economic Development Zone, so the investigation surrounding their interpersonal relationships is basically launched in the Economic Development Zone.

The first deceased was named Xiang Shu, who worked at Jingcheng Economic Development Zone Hospital and was the deputy chief physician of the Department of Neurology.

This person has a very good reputation. Whether he visits colleagues in the hospital or former patients, he always gives positive comments about Xiang Shu.

It's not that Xiang Shu is a miracle doctor who can help the world by hanging a pot, but at least he is worthy of his profession and worthy of the white clothes he wears, which are clean and without stains.

The second deceased was Zhang Wenyang, a teacher at the Jingcheng Economic Development Zone Dance Training School. He had won second place in a national competition and had excellent professional skills.

People around him also have good comments about Zhang Wenyang. He is patient, good at discovering the characteristics of students, so that each student can achieve the greatest improvement on his own basis, has a sense of responsibility and professionalism, and is meticulous in teaching.

A good mentor and helpful friend.

This is the evaluation of Zhang Wenyang by all the students who visited him.

The third deceased was named Qiao Rui. He had just graduated from college for two years when he died. He worked in the Economic Development Zone Tobacco Bureau. He had an easy job from 9 to 5 and very generous benefits. He was the golden rice bowl that everyone envied.

Not only that, he is also quite good-looking. He is 1.85 meters tall. He is a tall, rich and handsome young man. He is a hot commodity in the dating market.

When he died, he was dating a girl who was also in good condition in all aspects. It was a pity that he could foresee a good life in the future.

Eight years ago, three people were hanged one after another on a dead tree outside the small town of Shidu in just one month. The forensic doctor detected the drug ingredients in the body and confirmed that they were murdered.

It was judged that he was hanged artificially while he was unconscious.

The process of committing the crime was originally very clear, but after in-depth investigation, the criminal police investigating the case discovered something was wrong, and the time and space could not be explained at all.

An hour ago, either through surveillance or visits, it was confirmed that the deceased was in Jingcheng.

However, an hour later, the deceased mysteriously appeared in the small town of Shidu, hundreds of kilometers away, and hanged himself on a dead tree. The person who called the police was Yunshui Inn.

This kind of thing is simply impossible.

airplane?

We did investigate the case when it reached a dead end, but there were no private planes flying between the two places at that time.

There are no shortcuts, and the straight-line distance is hundreds of kilometers.

This incident made the detectives who were handling the case doubt their lives. Of course, they would not think it was a supernatural force. They knew clearly that the murderer was up to something, but they didn't know how.

Outside the small town of Shidu, there is no doubt that the victim hanging from a dead tree is indeed him. His clothes, appearance, and hairstyle are exactly the same, but his belongings have been looted by the murderer.

There are clear photos of the scene in the file.

"Hang yourself... Tan Dong said."

Chen Yi remembered that when he went to the detention center to see Tan Dong, the other party mentioned the hanging ghost on the dead tree, but he was the only one who saw it.

Tan Dong went to Shidu Town five or six years ago, and this case occurred eight years ago.

At first glance, it does sound weird.

After spending half an hour reading the file carefully, Chen Yi pushed the file to Qin Fei and the others, and the five of them gathered around to browse.

"How does it feel?"

He Shirong lit a cigarette and threw the cigarette case to Chen Yi.

Chen Yi picked it up and said: "The process of committing the crime is not the focus, and it is not important whether we can figure out how the murderer did it. It will not affect the final investigation result. To put it bluntly, just ask the murderer directly.

That’s probably what the criminal police officer handling the case at the time thought, right? "

He Shirong nodded: "Yes, but the murderer's investigation is also very difficult. There is no intersection or common friends between the three victims. In the absence of physical evidence and clues, it has become an unsolved case."

Chen Yi slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and began to think deeply.

He Shirong stopped talking and waited for other members of the special case team to finish reading the files.

Twenty minutes later, the file was closed and the five people returned to their positions.

"What about you, do you have any new insights?" It was He Shirong who spoke.

The five people were silent.

Facing He Shirong, even if he had new ideas, he wouldn't dare to say anything unless he was very sure about it, but he could safely infer that it must have been verified eight years ago.

"Just chat." He Shirong looked at Chen Yi.

Chen Yi said: "Let me talk nonsense first. The victim was in Jingcheng an hour ago and hanged in Shidu Town an hour later. This is absolutely impossible.

Either the victim in Jingcheng is fake, or the victim in Shidu Town is fake.

But at that time it was impossible to tell which one was true and which was false, and the murderer could not be traced. In addition, the Yunshui Inn in Shidu Town began to be haunted, so the case gradually became weird and sealed. "

Not all cold cases can be made public.

Things like this that can easily trigger public panic and trigger folk superstitious reveries must be tightly covered. This is for everyone's benefit and only adds to worries.

He Shirong: "Then which one do you think is more likely to be false?"

Chen Yi: "Normally speaking, the possibility of Jingcheng being fake is higher. The traces of the victims in Jingcheng were determined through surveillance and interviews, and the victims in Shidu Town were identified through appearance and autopsy. Since the autopsy was done, Unless there's something wrong with the forensics, it's impossible to get away with it.

However, the situation in Shidu Town is more complicated. There is a gap of six or seven hours between calling the police, arriving at the police station, and conducting the autopsy at the county bureau. Moreover, the autopsy is still being performed at the funeral parlor, making it very maneuverable.

Therefore, I personally judge that the corpse in Shidu Town is more likely to be fake. "

The body was hung in Shidu Town. There is no police station in the deserted Shidu Town. The nearest police station is Shuishi Town Police Station, which takes an hour to get there.

The photos of the scene and the preliminary investigation of the scene were done by the police officers of Shuishi Town Police Station.

Shuishi Town Police Station does not have a forensic doctor and does not have the conditions for autopsy, so the body needs to be transported from Shidu Town, through Shuishi Town to Xigui County, and then handled by the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Xigui County Bureau.

Some counties are limited by factors such as funds, technology, and personnel, and do not have a special autopsy inspection center. They need to use the funeral home and store the body directly after the autopsy, which is more convenient.

Xigui County is located in a remote and economically backward area, and there is no autopsy inspection center.

It is good to have a forensic doctor.

Under such difficult case handling conditions, it seems that it is not impossible for the victim's body to have some problems.

Unlike in Yangcheng, when investigating the case, the Criminal Investigation Brigade and the forensic doctor are present throughout the process, and the on-site inspection is carried out, and then it is directly transported to the forensic room of the Municipal Bureau for a comprehensive autopsy, and there will be no accidents in the middle.

This is the difference.

He Shirong thought for a moment and said, "What you mean is... was the body swapped?"

If the body was swapped, the case would be a lot more complicated. The police on the scene were not blind, and the body must be real, so what was the identity of the body used to conceal the truth?

Was the second murder, the third murder, still in the same way? Was the same body used again? How was it preserved? How was it made to look real? How was the police deceived?

There are countless doubts.

This can only explain the spatial problem, allowing the case to return to reality from weirdness, but it cannot explain the whole process, and it makes the case even more difficult.

Chen Yi: "It is a possibility.

From the distance, it takes more than six hours from Jingcheng to Shidu Town, but only three hours from Jingcheng to Xigui County.

No one knows what happened before the forensic doctor came into contact with the body.

At present, this is one of the more reasonable explanations I can think of. If you want to have a conclusion, you need to investigate it comprehensively before you can know.

Perhaps, the clue abandoned by the criminal police at that time is precisely the key to the breakthrough. All their energy was spent on investigating the victims, their interpersonal relationships, their commonalities, their enemies, and their past, but they did not work hard on the process of committing the crime.

It is understandable that this matter is really strange, and it is right to start from the victims to avoid wasting time."

When investigating complex murders, there will be many crossroads. In the case of limited police force, the investigators need to make choices.

You can never know which way is right before the truth is revealed.

Investigating a case is a process of trial and error.

Chen Yi does not mean not to investigate the victims. After taking over the case, he will continue to investigate the victims on the basis of the files.

They are all people from Jingcheng Economic Development Zone.

The manner of death is the same.

The interval between deaths is short.

No new victims appeared afterwards.

This shows that the possibility of a stranger committing the crime is not high. The murderer is most likely to come after the three people, but the motive has not been found yet.

Not finding it does not mean that it does not exist. The Jiangcheng tomb robbery case is a good example. A lot of clues are needed to support the inference to lock in the only possibility.

He Shirong did not confirm or deny Chen Yi's preliminary judgment. The other party himself said that it was just a possibility. "Possible" means that it may be ruled out in the end.

No one can say what the facts are.

"Where are you going to start the investigation? Go directly to Shidu Town?" He Shirong asked.

Chen Yi nodded: "Of course, Shidu Town is where the body was found. Regardless of how the victim ran from Jingcheng to Shidu Town in a short time, I just took over the case and should go over to take a look.

From Shidu Town to Shuishi Town, from Shuishi Town to Xigui County, and then from Xigui County back to Jingcheng, this line needs to be completely passed, unless the truth is found halfway... This possibility is not very high."

He Shirong: "It seems that it will be another protracted battle."

Chen Yi helplessly: "He Bu, I am not a god. I can't tell you how long it will take to solve the case, or even guarantee whether it can be solved, but please rest assured that I will do my best.

This is the first case investigated by the special case team. To be honest, as the team leader, I am still under great pressure."

He is indeed under great pressure.

Colleagues across the country should know about his transfer and the establishment of the special case team. If the first case investigated does not have a good result, it will be a bit embarrassing.

It's not embarrassing, it depends on your mentality.

The reason why the unsolved case becomes an unsolved case is that a lot of police force has been invested. Therefore, if it cannot be solved, it cannot be said that the strength is not good.

"I'll wait for your good news." As a leader, He Shirong had to express his expectations. He couldn't say things like "It doesn't matter if it can't be cracked." "If you need anything, just tell me."

Chen Yi: "A six-seater or more car will do, preferably a large off-road vehicle. The road conditions in Shidu Town are too complicated. I don't want to be stranded on the road and ask for help."

He Shirong: "That's for sure. Do you have anything else?"

Chen Yi: "We bought a satellite router last night to ensure that the network in Shidu Town is unobstructed. Please reimburse me."

As he said that, he took the invoice handed over by He Shixin and gave it to He Shirong.

He Shirong took a look at the price and didn't react much: "Anything else?"

Chen Yi: "Has the investigation power of the special case team been issued to the whole country?"

The place is no better than Dongzhou or Yangcheng. He doesn't want to be hindered and made things difficult while handling the case. What he wants is not to tolerate anyone else's faults.

[General Order] has binding force on all public servants, which means that those who disobey orders will be severely punished.

He Shirong smiled: "Don't worry, you just investigate the case."

After all, you are a young man. If you were a more stable team leader, you would not dare to ask this question. If you are asked to investigate the case, you will investigate the case, and there are conditions?

"There is nothing else. Thank you very much, Bu He. I will do my best to give you a satisfactory answer to the case in Shidu Town. We will set off today." Chen Yi said.

"Don't worry." He Shirong waved his hand at this time, "Let's leave tomorrow. It's been eight years and it won't be a day or two. When we get to the Imperial City, aren't you going to see grandpa?"

"Ah?" Chen Yi was stunned and asked strangely: "You and Shuyu's grandfather?"

He thought the two had a close relationship, otherwise he wouldn't have mentioned it.

He Shirong smiled and said, "I'm not familiar with him, but I'm quite familiar with Comrade Gu Jingfeng."

Chen Yi suddenly said: "Oh... then I'll leave tomorrow."

…………

That afternoon.

The special case team received the off-road vehicle provided by He Shirong. Chen Yi let Qin Fei and the five move freely while he called Fang Yanjun and drove to the familiar place based on his memory.

Various inspections were inevitable as we neared the finish line. After getting off the bus, Chen Yi met an old friend.

Pei Yingwu.

"Long time no see."

The two gave a symbolic hug, and their private relationship was at the level of friends. Mainly because Fang Yanjun was in the middle, so they were very close emotionally.

"I heard that you... went on a killing spree on Sendong Island again?" Pei Yingwu said with a smile, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing.

Entering the yard, Chen Yi said as he walked away: "I let a girl plot it. The tail left behind on Qifeng Island, these foreign criminal groups, are intricately connected. I'm really worried that there will be more behind them.

Why don't Brother Pei think of a way to take care of everything when going abroad? "

Pei Yingwu said: "I don't have that ability. Besides, you are so cruel that you won't leave anyone alive, and you have no chance to follow the clues."

Chen Yi: "In a life-and-death situation, there is no chance of survival. It would be nice to be able to leave that place safely."

Pei Yingwu smiled and said nothing, not sure whether he believed it or not.

Entering the room, Fang Yanjun was already waiting. Chen Yi sat down, and the grandfather and grandson started chatting.

"Xiao Yi, do you know what I am most gratified about?" Fang Yanjun's sudden question was puzzling without saying a few words.

Chen Yi was slightly solemn: "I don't know, can you give me a hint?"

Fang Yanjun said: "The most gratifying thing is that I can have a grandson next year."

Chen Yi: "..."

At this point, he thought that the other party was going to talk to him about some serious and lofty topic, and he was already prepared to talk about humility and not forgetting his original intention.

Or the transformation of roles is a bit slow.

Although they are already a family, Fang Yanjun's status in the Imperial City is too special, so that every time they meet, he cannot immediately feel the family affection.

"Let's stay for dinner tonight. Do you have time?" Fang Yanjun was in a good mood and did not ask Chen Yilai about the situation in the Imperial City. He should already know it very clearly.

Chen Yi nodded: "Yes...Grandpa."
