Attending ex-girlfriend's wedding, arresting the groom's officer on the spot

Even after all 7 woven bags were pulled out, the entire Dongfeng Canal had not been cleaned up yet.

Because the entire woven bag was soaked in the sewage ditch, there was no need for Lu Chuan to conduct on-site investigation. After the woven bag was fished out, it was opened and inspected and then directly transported back to the Criminal Police Brigade.

The salvage work here is still ongoing, and the entire dredging work still has dozens of meters to complete.

Lu Chuan and others never left.

The good news is that by nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, the entire dredging work had been completed and no new woven bags were found.

The bad news was that all seven woven bags were filled with body parts.

The forensic doctor has done a basic identification, but because the soaking time was too long, no one's identity has been confirmed yet.

Lu Chuan was afraid that something might be missed, so he asked the construction manager to instruct the forklift driver to clean the Dongfeng Channel again from the beginning.

That’s not a problem. Wang Hu immediately arranged for people to start.

However, the original driver could no longer hold on after working for a day and a night, so he sent another forklift driver over.

The entire Dongfeng Canal is not long, only 3 kilometers from beginning to end.

Because it had been cleaned once, all the silt and garbage inside were turned over to both sides of the canal.

When we checked for deficiencies and filled in the gaps again, the progress was much faster.

The cleanup was completed again by around six o'clock in the afternoon, but no new woven bags were found.

Lu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. This was probably the situation on the Dongfeng Canal.

But this case...

Lu Chuan felt that this case was difficult to solve.

First of all, the body had been soaked in the sewage pool for such a long time that even if there were some clues left by the murderer, they had disappeared completely.

For example, fingerprints on a corpse.

Once Lu Chuan opened the seven woven bags, he could basically determine that the other party had used an axe and a kitchen knife to cut up the body.

In this case, the murderer's fingerprints are likely to remain on the surface of the limbs during the process of moving the body.

But if you want to extract it now, it is basically impossible. It has been soaked in sewage for two or three months, and even a god can't do anything about it.

Another point is that there are no surveillance cameras nearby.

Dongfeng Road is located near the old city, and the residents are all elderly people who have lived here for decades.

The renovation here is rather poor and has not been maintained for many years. There is a surveillance camera at the intersection, but it has been destroyed by people nearby.

Wang Zhaokai made some inquiries and learned that because everyone was dumping garbage into the Dongfeng District, they were afraid of being caught by the camera, so they had cut the line long ago.

Someone did come to repair it, but after they inspected it each time, no one cared about it anymore.

Therefore, this section of Dongfeng Canal is basically a surveillance vacuum area.

Another aspect is that there have been very few reports of disappearances in recent months.

The Chinese New Year is approaching, and there are actually very few missing persons reports recently. Lu Chuan has looked at the global data.

The entire Haizhou city has received only two reports of missing persons in the past two or three months.

But now seven woven bags have been found, and it seems to Lu Chuan that there are more than seven people inside.

The murderer killed so many people, but no one reported him missing, so Lu Chuan was sure that it would be very difficult to verify his identity.

as predicted.

By the time Lu Chuan and his men returned to the Criminal Police Brigade, the forensic doctors had already made a rough basic assessment.

The forensic doctor first gave Lu Chuan a brief report.

"We took out the bodies from the seven woven bags and did a simple splicing. At present, it seems that there are eight bodies of victims, but one thigh and two arms are missing, as well as part of the torso."

A whole day and a night has passed since last night, and the forensic doctor has been busy all the time. Seven woven plastic bags have been sent back one after another, and he has started to piece them together one by one.

The result of the pieced-together process was that 8 victims were found, because there were 8 heads alone. Then, after pieced-together according to the shape of the wounds, it was found that one of the bodies was missing a thigh, an arm, and part of the torso. "Dongfeng Canal... was it not cleaned out?"

Wang Zhaokai said with a frown.

Lu Chuan shook his head.

"It shouldn't be. If the murderer dumped everything on the Dongfeng Canal, we have already fished it out twice, so there shouldn't be too many omissions."

"It is very likely that the bodies were dumped not only in the Dongfeng District."

"Is there anyone who can confirm the identity?"

The medical examiner nodded.

"We were able to identify them. An ID card was found inside the sole of one of their shoes."

Soles?

Lu Chuan was surprised.

Why would someone put their ID card in the sole of their shoe?
"Go and have a look."

In the autopsy room.

Because there were eight bodies, the dissection table definitely couldn't accommodate them all.

The entire autopsy room was filled with bodies that had been assembled by the forensic doctor, from the floor at the entrance all the way to the autopsy table and inside.

In fact, the space in the autopsy room was originally quite large, but with these eight assembled corpses placed here, it suddenly felt like a bumper car room.

"From what we can see so far, there are four men and four women among the eight bodies. We found some clues in the shoes of one of the female victims."

After the forensic doctor took Lu Chuan and Wang Zhaokai into the autopsy room, he went straight to the innermost place.

"In addition to this ID card, there is 300 yuan."

Putting on the apprentice hat, Lu Chuan picked up his ID card.

"Wang Caixia?"

The forensic doctor nodded and said, "I have asked someone to check on this Wang Caixia. She is not a local of Haizhou, but a native of Beizhou, Nanling Province."

"We only found his household registration information and didn't find any relatives. He must be an elderly widower."

No wonder she wasn't reported missing.

It turns out that there are no relatives.

"What about the rest?"

The medical examiner shook his head.

"There wasn't much to be found on the bodies of the others, but I noticed that they didn't seem to be well dressed."

Lu Chuan also discovered this. Not only were these people not dressed well, but judging from the current clues, the victims were all relatively old.

Wang Caixia, whose identity has been discovered, is 64 years old this year.

Judging from the skin condition of the remaining people, some of them already have age spots, so they should be quite old.

"I feel like these people are probably scavengers or wanderers who have wandered to this place."

The forensic doctor expressed his guess.

"Are there any other clues?"

Lu Chuan then asked about the forensic findings.

"It was done by one man."

The forensic doctor said with certainty: "The dismemberment patterns of these bodies are basically the same, and the victim should be left-handed."

"The angle and strength of the cuts are all very similar, and they are becoming more and more familiar." (End of this chapter)
