Life as a police officer in America

Chapter 594 The Burned Man

The location of the murder was by a water canal built with cement to the north of the furniture base.

The canal has dried up, and the bottom of the canal is covered with dried mud, fallen leaves, and weeds.

An almost new Humvee parked by the ditch.On the left side of the Hummer is a small hillside, on which there are various trees crowded together, giving people a sense of eerie mystery.

On the other side of the Humvee is a large cornfield, and the green corn seedlings continue to extend to the south.

Jumping over the one-meter-wide ditch and climbing up the grassy slope, Wang Dengming came to the top of the hill.

Under the cover of the twisted and huge canopy, the top of the hillside was very shady, as if he had suddenly walked into a freezer room, and he saw busy Sith, Helene and the others.

Algerin was also there, still carrying a small black box, and he followed Sith.

"what's the situation?"

Sith, who was wearing gloves, handed Wang Dengming a photo.

"Phoebe?"

"Yes, a re-photographed print from the plate of the one in his suitcase."

The photo is blurry, and it is certain that this photo is a replica of the one in Phoebe's box.

"Where did you find it?"

The body was lying under a hemlock tree, covered with a white cloth.

Wang Dengming stepped forward, lifted the white cloth, and immediately covered his nose.

The corpse had been severely decomposed. The most frightening thing was that the upper body of the corpse was scorched, including the chest, neck, head, and upper limbs.

Helene said: "We found a wallet in the right pocket of the deceased's jeans, which contained a bank card, a credit card, and this photo in your hand."

"Is this person Phoebe?"

Sith: "Very likely, but not sure. The face is burned and deformed."

Algerlin quietly approached him and said, "I just found the driver's door in the Humvee to be scorched by fire, so Captain Sith and I both believe that this is not the scene of the first crime, and someone will burn it. His body was dragged here from the side of the car."

Helene also said: "Yes, Sheriff, there is no burn mark caused by the fire here, not even a single burnt leaf."

Wang Dengming turned around and looked at the Hummer.

"The distance between the Humvee and the dead body is about 100 meters. Isn't 100 meters short? If someone wants to hide the dead body, he should throw the dead body farther."

Sith: "This is also a strange place. The body only moved a hundred meters. It's not like dumping the body. Moreover, the Humvee didn't drive away."

"Did the person who called the police find it?"

"How can it be so fast? The person who called the police called the police anonymously. The source of the call to the police is being investigated. It should be a public phone, which is difficult."

"It's a strange caller, what did he say at the time?"

"He said he saw an abandoned Hummer, and later found the body. He claimed to be a painter, and he found it by accident when he came out to sketch."

Wang Dengming squeezed his chin, smiled wryly and said, "You're still a fucking painter, we have to find him."

"Maybe the person who called the police didn't want to deal with the police and avoided it. They disappeared after calling the police. We have encountered it before, and there are quite a few."

"In this place, the first person to call the police is the farmer here. The farmer should be more aware of how long the Humvee has been kept here."

Wang Dengming went down the hillside and checked in the Humvee.

"Did you find anything?"

Sith: "There is a lot of information, so I called you here. Title and registration are all there. You can see for yourself."

There are two kinds of car documents in the United States, one is called Title and the other is called registration.

The owner of the car indicated by the Title, Registration is the registration form of the vehicle. The user of the vehicle has to pay a certain fee to the Vehicle Management Bureau every year, and then the Vehicle Management Bureau will send a new Registration, which states the information of the vehicle and the owner's name. information. There is a car sales form on the back of the Registration. As long as the owner signs the car sales form, anyone who holds this Registration and drives a vehicle can apply to the DMV to transfer the vehicle to his own name.The Vehicle Management Bureau doesn't care how the person who holds the Registration gets it (buying a car, giving a car as a gift, or even stealing a car), as long as the signature can be matched, the transfer can be handled without the original owner's presence.

Both documents for the Hummer state that the car is owned by Phoebe Di.

The car belonged to Fei Bidi, and a photo of Fei Bidi and Eden was found in the pocket of the deceased. So, is it Fei Bidi who died on the hillside?
"Is it Phoebe?"

Wang Dengming asked again.

Helene: "Can't quite draw conclusions, maybe."

"Probably, not enough, Inspector Algerlin, what do you think?"

"It's hard to say, I'm here to study, what do you think, Sheriff?"

This time again, Wang Dengming wanted to scold his mother.

After Detective Summer came to the scene, he just looked but didn’t say anything. At this time, he said: “In my opinion, the victim should be Fei Bidi himself. I have two reasons. First, the photos in his wallet, and second. His suitcase fell into McJamin's hands."

Sith: "Wang, you also said that Phoebe Di might have been killed. Unfortunately, you guessed it right. He died. He has been dead for many days."

Wang Dengming said to himself, "Did Burt Manlun do it?"

Detective: "At present we have no evidence that he did it."

Sith: "It seems that only a detective-level person can find out how this series of related cases happened."

Inspector: "You have to add a premise, if the person who was burned to death was Phoebe."

Helene: "Inspector, you have to add further assumptions. The deceased may not necessarily be burned to death. It is also possible that they were killed first and then the scene of the fire was faked."

After the on-site investigation, Wang Dengming asked Sith and Helene to take the body away first, and he and the detective stayed behind.

The driver's door was quite obviously burned by the high temperature, and a small area was already blackened. The deceased was set on fire and died outside the car, and then dragged to the hillside. There should be no dispute about this.

Afterwards, Wang Dengming said to the detective: "Check the trunk again."

The two tossed about the trunk again, but found nothing, and then the two continued to check in the car. Finally, they found three white pills in the gap between the carpet and the car.

There are only pills, but no medicine bottle.

The first thing Wang Dengming did when he returned to the county was to send the white drug he found to the county police station for testing. The test results came out two hours later. It was a kind of nerve analgesic, similar to gabapentin.

Will Phoebe take this medicine?
Wang Dengming contacted Fei Bidi's comrade-in-arms Jack Paul, and the other party's feedback was that Fei Bidi was almost hit by a bullet in the spine in the Afghan battlefield. Although he kept his fate of not being paralyzed, the bullet injured the nerves in his back , His left back and left hand often hurt, so Fei Bidi often takes painkillers.

With this article, the probability of the deceased being Fei Bidi is one point higher.

Whether the deceased was Fei Bidi or not, the most critical evidence is the bank card and credit card found in the wallet. The detective found out from the bank that the bank card and credit card belonged to Fei Bidi.
