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

"Why don't you deal with the body immediately after killing someone?" Zhang Hui asked.

"I originally wanted to throw the body into the sea." Zhou Qiang walked to the window and looked at the narrow alley outside, "But I was too nervous after killing someone, and the noise was a bit loud. I was afraid of being discovered by the neighbors, so I had to run first." He turned around and pointed to the suitcase in the corner, "I put the goods and account books in that box, and then asked Brother Dao to find someone to move it."

Forensic doctor Zhang Kai suddenly spoke up: "Did you ask him to use the cinnabar in Li Jianfeng's stomach to test poison? Demonstrate the process."

Zhou Qiang walked to the kitchen and opened the drawer. There were still some debris inside. "I put the drugs mixed with cinnabar in this small plastic bag." He gestured to show the size. "Every time before giving him the goods, I let him smoke a little to make sure there is no problem before selling it. That day was the same. I let him try the new goods. After smoking it, he said there was no problem, and then he started talking about betrayal."

Lu Chuan pointed to the calendar on the wall. The page with March 3 was circled in red. "What does this 'delivery' mean?"

"It was the delivery time agreed with the upstream supplier." Zhou Qiang explained, "Li Jianfeng knew this time, and he wanted to intercept it before the delivery and contact the upstream supplier to get the goods himself." He suddenly laughed, "It's a pity that he didn't have the luck to do so."

The identification lasted for more than two hours, and Zhou Qiang reconstructed every detail from luring Li Jianfeng to killing him and the aftermath. When he talked about stabbing Li Jianfeng repeatedly with a fruit knife, a young police officer couldn't help but turn his head away. Finally, Zhou Qiang stood at the door and looked back into the house: "That's it, I killed the man, I sold the goods, there was no one else."

Lu Chuan closed the notebook and said, "The identification is over. Take him back." When Zhou Qiang was escorted away, many onlookers gathered at the alley. He looked up at the gloomy sky, the sea breeze lifted the corners of his clothes, and his handcuffed hands trembled slightly. Inside the house, the technicians began to collect evidence again, and the camera flashes kept flashing, as if to freeze this sinful scene forever.

The next half month was relatively calm, and the Criminal Investigation Brigade did not receive any cases.

Those who were called back to interrupt their vacation can also make up for their vacation during this period. Compared with the work of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, it is like there have been no major cases for a long time. To be honest, there are still relatively few cases that need to be investigated.

Haizhou City has a large population, and although there are vicious and high-incidence criminal cases every day, there are still many other types of cases. In recent years, due to the comprehensive surveillance coverage, there are fewer cases such as robbery. In addition, with the rise of mobile payments, many people do not carry cash with them, so most robberies are just for mobile phones, bags and the like, which is not worth the loss.

However, other serious cases are still common. The Criminal Investigation Detachment usually investigates major cases, such as large-scale theft, fighting and other cases. These cases are handled by the Criminal Police Brigade in various districts and counties. To be honest, the Criminal Investigation Detachment rarely takes action unless it involves a homicide.

The peaceful days would not last long. Half a month later on Monday, Lu Chuan and others had just arrived at work when they received a message from the police that another murder had occurred.

Lu Chuan sat in the passenger seat, and sitting behind him were Yang Lin and Yang Sen.

Yang Lin and Yang Sen were whispering in the back row about the upcoming on-site investigation, holding the investigation tool kit tightly in their hands. The car sped along the winding mountain road, raising a cloud of dust, and drove towards the abandoned brick kiln in the suburbs of Beishan. When they arrived at the scene, the old man who was herding sheep was still standing not far away, his eyes full of fear and uneasiness. Lu Chuan walked up, whispered to comfort the old man, telling him not to be afraid, and carefully asked about the discovery of the body. The old man's voice was trembling, telling that when he was herding sheep, he accidentally walked into the abandoned brick kiln, smelled a pungent stench, and followed the smell to find the horrible body. Lu Chuan carefully recorded every detail, and after comforting the old man, he turned and walked towards the crime scene.

The abandoned brick kiln was surrounded by weeds, and the desolate scene gave people a gloomy feeling. Lu Chuan put on gloves and walked into the brick kiln carefully. A disgusting smell hit him in the face, and he couldn't help but frowned, but his years of criminal investigation experience made him quickly adapt to this environment. The corpse was lying in the corner of the brick kiln. Due to the high degree of decay, it had become a giant. The facial features were completely unrecognizable, the body was swollen beyond human form, and the clothes were tattered and tightly attached to the rotten flesh.

"Zhang Hui, Wang Shuai, look carefully around for items that may be related to the deceased, such as ID cards, wallets, mobile phones, etc. Be careful not to destroy the scene." Lu Chuan arranged the tasks in an orderly manner.

"Understood!" Zhang Hui and Wang Shuai responded in unison, then quickly dispersed and searched carefully inside and outside the brick kiln.

"Yang Lin, Yang Sen, you are responsible for conducting a comprehensive investigation of the scene. Starting from the area around the body, check for signs of fighting, blood, footprints, or other suspicious clues. Especially the position and posture of the body, record them in detail." Lu Chuan continued.

"Okay, Captain Lu." Yang Lin and Yang Sen immediately took action. They took out professional survey equipment and began to conduct a detailed inspection of the scene. Yang Lin squatted down and carefully observed the ground with a magnifying glass, not missing any tiny traces; Yang Sen took photos from different angles around the body to provide accurate information for subsequent analysis.

Lu Chuan walked to the body, squatted down, and tried to find some clues from the clothes and physical characteristics of the body. He found that the deceased was wearing a work suit with oil stains, and speculated that the deceased might be engaged in machinery-related work. However, due to the severe decomposition of the body, it was impossible to determine the specific occupation information. He also noticed that there were some calluses on the hands of the deceased, which further confirmed his speculation.

"Captain Lu, we found some footprints here!" Yang Lin shouted.

Lu Chuan immediately walked over and saw a few unclear footprints on the ground. The pattern of the footprints was quite special, and it seemed that they were left by some kind of work shoes. He squatted down and carefully observed the size, depth and spacing of the footprints.

"Measure the size of the footprints and see if we can use it to determine the suspect's height and weight." Lu Chuan said to Yang Lin.

"Okay." Yang Lin took out professional measuring tools and carefully measured the various data of the footprints.

"Captain Lu, there's something strange here." Yang Sen found a small metal object next to the body. It looked like a part of a machine, but he couldn't determine its specific purpose. (End of this chapter)
