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

Chapter 1098 Time difference

Zhang Datao sighed and continued to tell what he knew.

"So five years ago, Li Dagui started working in Tianzhou City. The old couple has saved a lot of money in the past two years. In addition to paying off the initial 5 yuan, they can also give his son a little money every month. If it weren't for the old couple's support, they would have been unable to make ends meet."

Zhang Datao gave a detailed introduction to the missing Li Xiaofeng, and Lu Chuan and others also had a more detailed understanding of Li Xiaofeng's situation.

The next step is to wait for a while. After the first identification results come out and the identity of the deceased is confirmed, we can continue to work on the next case.

At around seven o'clock that evening, the results finally came out from the survey office.

"Director Lu, it's Li Xiaofeng!"

Wang Zhaokai handed the technical appraisal report to Lu Chuanxiang, and he reported that the deceased was indeed Li Xiaofeng, who was reported missing 5 days ago.

At the same time, the autopsy report has also come out.

"Let's go to the conference room and listen to the autopsy report from the forensic doctor first."

In the conference room, Lu Chuan sat in the first seat as usual.

Although he was promoted to deputy director of the High-tech Zone Branch, because he was in charge of criminal investigation, it seemed that he spent more time in the Criminal Police Brigade than in the branch.

In fact, Lu Chuan has also become accustomed to life on the front line, and handling cases on the front line is more in line with his personality.

To be honest, Lu Chuan didn't really adapt to the days working in the branch. He mostly attended meetings and read documents there, basically staying in the office.

It's different in the Criminal Police Brigade. In comparison, Lu Chuan prefers the work rhythm and state here. He still likes solving cases, being on the front line, and working on the scene.

"Director Lu, let me report the situation first."

After a day of intensive work by the forensic doctor, the examination of the body has basically been completed.

"Let's talk about the time of death first. The time of death was seven days ago, which was around the early morning of the 7th."

The time told by the forensic doctor made Lu Chuan frown slightly.

But Lu Chuan did not interrupt the other party and signaled the forensic doctor to continue reporting the situation.

"The direct cause of the loss of life was multiple blows to the back of the head, resulting in brain stem death."

What was being played on the projector was the condition of the back of the victim's head.

It can be clearly seen that there are signs of collapse on the bones of the back of the head, and there is more than one mark.

"Judging from the shape of the scar on the back of the head, the murder weapon used by the murderer should be a blunt object such as a hammer."

"After death, the murderer dissected the body. Judging from the marks on the limbs, it should be something like a kitchen knife that was used to pick up the body. The murderer did not understand the structure of the human body and missed many joints during the pick-up process. After many cuts, the bones and muscles were separated."

On the projector were photos of the disassembled body, including the head, limbs, thighs, and torso.

"There are traces of burns on all parts of the body. Judging from the residue on the body..."

The forensic doctor turned on the projector and some of the first photos of the body when it was found appeared. Although it had rained two days ago, some of the attachments on the body had been washed away, and the body might have been bitten by stray dogs or other wild animals, which could be identified from the tooth marks on it.

However, some residual substances were detected at the scene where the body was found.

"This is a kind of carbon black, and there are ashes from burning firewood, so we judge that the place where the murderer was burned may be a place like a farmer's stove pit."

The reason why the forensic doctor made this important judgment was that there was a lot of carbon black on the knees, and this carbon black was the substance left on the bottom of a pot after being roasted for a long time.

The forensic report lasted more than half an hour, and he reported all the detailed data to Lu Chuan.

After the report, everyone did not proceed to the next step, but waited for Lu Chuan.

"time!"

Lu Chuan spoke.

"This morning, Director Zhang Datao said that there was a slight discrepancy between the time of Li Xiaofeng's disappearance and the time of death determined by the medical examiner. I wonder if anyone has noticed."

Wang Zhaokai nodded: "There is indeed a problem with the time. According to the clues provided by Zhang Datao, after the victim disappeared, his wife Zhang Yan called the police on the afternoon of the 25th."

In fact, Li Xiaofeng had already disappeared on the 25th. His family had been looking for him for a whole day and failed to find him, so Zhang Yan called the police.

"According to the missing person report at the time, Zhang Yan called Li Xiaofeng's parents on the 25th and asked them to come back to help search. Villagers also helped search, but nothing was found after a day. It was not until the afternoon that Zhang Yan called the police."

At that time, the search had actually been done in quite detail.

Li Xiaofeng was a gambler, so his relatives searched everywhere in the village and town where mahjong and card games were played, but found no trace of him.

The bosses of these places also said that they had never seen Li Xiaofeng.

Wangjiagou Village is far away from the city, and the possibility of him coming to the city on foot is relatively small, so if he wants to come to the city, he should take a taxi.

However, no taxi in the town had ever picked up Li Xiaofeng, including some illegal taxis nearby. Li Xiaofeng's family members also made inquiries at the time, and later the police station also conducted a detailed investigation, but none of them found that Li Xiaofeng should not have taken a car to leave Wangjiagou Village after he disappeared that day.

Wang Zhaokai continued: "According to the information provided by Li Xiaofeng's wife Zhang Yan, Li Xiaofeng left home on the morning of the 24th, and Zhang Yan saw him at that time."

Li Xiaofeng had actually disappeared on the 24th and did not come back that night.

But Zhang Yan didn't care at that time, because on the night of the 23rd, the couple had a big fight and Li Xiaofeng even beat Zhang Yan.

"Li Xiaofeng left home on the morning of the 24th, but the identification results here show that Li Xiaofeng was killed in the early morning of the 24th..."

Lu Chuan nodded affirmatively.

"It's the time that's problematic. He was killed in the early morning of the 24th. How did he leave home on the morning of the 24th?"

Then there are only two possibilities.

The first possibility is that the forensic doctor's judgment was wrong, and the other party's time of death was after the morning of the 1th, not the so-called early morning of the 24th.

Another possibility is that Li Xiaofeng's wife Zhang Yan lied. On the morning of the 24th, Li Xiaofeng did not leave home at all, and he had never seen her. But why would Zhang Yan lie?
