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

The weather in Haizhou City in September is hot and dry.

Summer has passed and autumn has arrived.

Of course, although it is the beginning of autumn now, the weather is still quite hot. It is the hottest time of the year.

It is also a season in the year when fires are more likely to occur.

Generally speaking, there is no need for the criminal police to appear at the fire scene, but if the criminal police come, it means that someone must have died at the scene of the fire.

All accidental deaths, including falling, fire, drowning, etc., cannot be treated as pure accidental deaths and must go through the investigation procedures of criminal cases before the police issue a death certificate.

Only after it is determined that there is no possibility of a criminal case occurring can other procedures involving civil litigation be taken for unexpected cases.

September is a period of high incidence of fires in Haizhou City, and fires have occurred frequently in the past.

Wang Zhaokai and his colleagues had received similar calls before, so they often went to fire scenes in the past. They thought this time was no different from the past.

The fire broke out in a suburban tourist resort.

The main exhibits in this tourist resort village are scarecrows, wheat fields, pumpkin shows and other autumn harvest crops.

The fire broke out in the scarecrow exhibition area.

The scarecrows in the resort are made of real straw. There are also some simulated buildings made of straw, such as windmills and haystacks, in this area. If a fire occurs, you can imagine that there will be fire and flames everywhere.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

By the time Wang Zhaokai and his team arrived, the entire resort had basically been burned down, with the scarecrow being the worst damaged. There was basically nothing left in the area, and the entire scene was a mess, with a mixture of water and ashes.

"Captain Wang, it's you who's here!"

The person who greeted Wang Zhaokai was Qin Li, the captain of the High-tech Zone Fire Brigade.

"Captain Qin! Why did you come here in person? It should be enough for someone from the fire station to come over."

Qin Li shook his head. "I just started looking for it last night. Because they were all scarecrows, and some veins were flammable, a large area of ​​fire broke out after I started looking. The fire was very big, and a fire station nearby couldn't handle it at all. I have already pulled all the forces here, and it took most of the work to put out the entire fire at night."

"As a result, this morning when we were checking the fire scene to find out the cause of the fire, we found a body in this scarecrow area."

"That's why the resort called the police. I didn't expect it to be you."

"Where is the body? Let's go over there and see if we can figure out the cause of death."

Wang Zhaokai asked.

"The initial diagnosis is that he was burned to death, but the details still need to wait for your forensic doctor to perform an autopsy. We can only make a rough judgment here."

"After we found the body, we secured everything around us. Nothing was moved. We were just waiting for you to come over."

"Over there..." Wang Ruokai pointed to a crowd of people watching. There was a man sitting on the ground, looking like he had been crying. "What's going on?" "The man over there is the husband of the deceased. He said that his wife came out to get some fresh air last night, and he wanted to come with her, but he was tired yesterday and didn't come out. Unexpectedly, there was a fire, and his wife didn't come back. The man who was burned to death was his wife."

"Oh……"

"Okay, dear, you take care of this first. I'll go check on the body first. Oh, have we found the cause of the fire?"

Qin Li nodded affirmatively: "We have found the starting point of the fire. It has been basically confirmed that the fire was caused by a cigarette butt, and the smoker is very likely the person who was burned to death."

Did the deceased's smoking cause the fire?
This is very likely because there is straw all around, and a cigarette butt is enough to burn all these scarecrows. Zhao Kai looked around, and although it was burned now, these traces could still be seen.

Some straw piles, even after being burned to ashes, still remain there like a small hill.

On-site investigation at the fire scene has actually always been quite difficult.

Some time ago, there was a criminal case involving arson that resulted in death. It took Lu Chuan and his team a long time to finally sort out the case.

The main reason why this case took so long was the fire. After the scene was sprayed with fire water, there was basically no way to restore it.

From a health perspective, many traces of things have been destroyed, so it is difficult to find key clues.

The scene was in a self-built house on the third floor which was relatively closed. To be honest, it was relatively easy to investigate in a fire scene, but this scene was different.

This is a site where the land has been excavated, and the footprints are very messy. There is no awareness of on-site protection at all.

Qin Li just told him that before they came, the people in the resort had organized their own fire-fighting efforts, but it was not of much use.

But even though it was useless, everyone's footprints were all over the scene, and the ground was full of ashes from burning straw mixed with fire water, making the entire ground muddy.

In this case, if it really was a criminal case, Wang Zhaokai would feel a headache just looking at it.

Soon, the on-site investigation detectives put on their equipment and arrived near the body.

The entire body was completely burnt. It was lying on its back with its legs curled up and its arms stretched out, the tips of which had been burned off.

The state of a corpse after it has been burned can largely indicate whether the body was dead or not when the fire burned.

If the person had died before the fire started, the victim would not struggle during the burning process, which means that the victim's position would not move.

For example, the body in front of us, if he had died before the fire, then there would be no signs of burning on the back of the body.

The two modern detectives first checked the back of the body, turned the body over roughly, and checked the bottom, and found that it was all burnt.

Because the victim would certainly struggle while being burned, it would be difficult for him to remain motionless. In this case, there would be burn marks all over his body, so it should not be the case that one part is intact. From the current point of view, it can be simply judged that the deceased should be normal, conscious and able to move before being burned.

So judging from this simple situation, the deceased was most likely burned to death, which is also the main reason why the fire department made this judgment.

Another thing is that the deceased's current posture also proves that he had signs of life before he was burned to death. (End of this chapter)
