Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 500 The scene
"Yang... Yang family, something happened in Yang Daguang's family."

Old Zhao was running so fast that he hadn't even caught his breath yet and his speech was intermittent. Team leader Yang of the production team asked him for a long time before he figured out what was going on.

When Captain Yang learned that Yang Daguang's family of four might have all died, his mouth almost stretched to his ears.

Their village is called Yangjia Village. Seventy percent of the villagers have the surname Yang, and they are all related to each other. For example, Captain Yang is Yang Daguang's cousin.

People with other surnames like Uncle Zhao basically all fled here before liberation.

After understanding the situation clearly, Captain Yang hurriedly called the security guards in the team to run to Yang Daguang's house together.

The security guard had received basic training at the commune police station and knew that if a serious case occurred, the first thing to do was to protect the scene. So after arriving at the door of Yang Daguang's house, he hurriedly grabbed Captain Yang who was about to rush in, and asked Captain Yang to follow him. He walked into the yard of Yang Daguang's house first.

When they walked to the entrance of the house in the yard and pushed open the half-open door, what caught their eyes was a large pool of blood on the floor of the main room and a man and a woman lying on the ground.

The man was lying on the ground with a large pool of half-dried blood under him and his head was blurred. It seemed that he had been hit by something and died.

The woman was tied up with ropes, lying on her back on the ground, her abdomen was bright red.

The miserable state of the two people on the ground inside the house and the smell of blood made the security guard and Captain Yang turn around and run to the yard and start vomiting.

First, Uncle Zhao hurriedly ran to the village entrance, followed by the captain and the security guard, which made the villagers realize that something must have happened, so many people followed. When they saw the two men who arrived first just took a look inside the house and started vomiting, their strong curiosity drove them all to rush into the house.

When the security guard who was vomiting noticed it, he no longer cared about vomiting and hurried to block the villagers.

"Everyone, everyone, don't go in. Yang Daguang and his wife are both dead. If any of your footprints are left at the scene, the police will come and take you away for investigation. Don't cry out that you are innocent."

The security guard's words made everyone who had originally wanted to rush to the door of the house to watch the excitement stop immediately and retreat to the outside of the yard, no slower than when they came in.

Although everyone wants to watch the fun, no one is willing to get themselves into trouble just for the sake of watching the fun.

"Old Four, you stay here and don't let anyone in. I'm going to call the police."

Captain Yang vomited a few times and suppressed the discomfort in his stomach. After saying something to the security guard, he walked out of the yard.

"Okay, go ahead, hurry up."

"Know"

Watching the captain walk out of the yard, the security officer ignored the villagers outside who were asking him about the situation, and turned to look at Yang Daguang's house.

He was a little confused. Daguang was a relatively honest man, and his wife Guo Meihua was not a woman who liked to stir up trouble. How could such a thing happen out of the blue?
Then, he also thought of Daguang’s wife’s good-for-nothing ex-husband. Could it be him?
But soon his heart tightened again. Just now in the main room, he only saw the bodies of Yang Daguang and his wife. Where were the two children? Could it be...

Thinking of this, he walked to the window on the left side of the main room, leaned on the window and looked inside the house. If he remembered correctly, this was the house where the two children lived.

The house was in a mess, but the two children were nowhere to be seen. So he walked to the window on the right side of the main room and looked inside. The situation was similar to that room, and the children were still not to be seen.

Where did those two kids go?
The security guard walked around the yard and searched every place he could except the main room, but still couldn't find the children, which made him feel worse and worse.

"Who among you saw Daguai and Arya this morning?"

The security guard walked to the gate of the courtyard and asked loudly to the villagers watching outside.

In fact, he also knew that what he asked was nonsense. Just by looking at the situation in the house, he knew that the Yang couple should have been killed in the middle of the night last night.

The two children must have been at home last night. If nothing happened to them, there would have been some noise.

The onlookers all shook their heads after hearing the security guard's questions.

The affairs of the Yang family have caused a lot of discussion among everyone. The couple are both good people, so how could this happen?
The police from the commune police station arrived quickly. In order not to disrupt the scene, the two police officers did not enter the scene. They just stood at the door and looked around. Then they immediately found Uncle Zhao, who first discovered the problem, and started taking his statement.

On the other hand, the county bureau, which received a report from the commune police station, immediately arranged for a criminal investigation team to go to the scene.

Half an hour later, the criminal investigation team arrived at the scene. After a search, they found that the house was in a mess and there were obvious signs of struggle. The initial judgment was that the theft was discovered and turned into robbery and murder.

The Yang couple, husband Yang Daguang and wife Guo Meihua, were both killed.

The whereabouts of the Yang family's pair of underage children, the eldest son Yang Jun, six years old, and the younger daughter Yang Min, three years old, are unknown. Judging from the traces at the scene, they were most likely taken away by the criminals.

Such a bad case has never happened in Yangjia Village for all these years. Most of the villagers are relatives, and the relationship is just close. No one expected that such a situation would occur under their noses.

"Daguang is an honest man, a nice guy, and treats his wife well. Who would be hard on him?"

"Yes, of course. Meihua's ex-husband, that worthless person, would come over to cause trouble every once in a while. Daguang and him had fought several times."

"What's the name of Guo Meihua's ex-husband? Where is he from? Why did he come here to cause trouble?"

"His name is Qin Xuezhi. He lives in the next village. He just wanted money from Guo Meihua."

"You want money? What money do you want?"

"It is said that he gave Guo Meihua's family a large amount of betrothal gift when he married her, and how much money he spent on her. Now that they are divorced, he should return the money to her.

But Meihua didn't not marry him. She divorced him because he beat her so hard that she couldn't stand it. How could she return the money to him under such circumstances? That's why."

"how much is it?"

"Uh... I heard Qin Xuezhi wants one hundred dollars, but I'm not sure about the details."

"When was the last time he came here to cause trouble?"

"Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhao..."

"Hey, here I come."

"Uncle Zhao, when was the last time Qin Xuezhi came to Daguang's house to cause trouble?"

"At the end of last month, I can't remember the exact day, but it must have been at the end of the month. I remember that the kids hadn't started school yet when he came."

"Do you know who else Qin Xuezhi has conflicts with?"

"Wang Erniu, also from the next village." Facing the police's questioning, Uncle Zhao said another person's name without any hesitation.

"Who? Wang Erniu? The one who likes to play with money?" This was the question answered by a policeman from the commune police station. He was quite familiar with several guys who were often dealt with in the commune.

"Yes, Public Security Meng, that's him. He borrowed 20 yuan from Daguang last year, saying that someone introduced him to a girl. It turned out that this guy was a liar. He borrowed the money just to play around. He lost the money and never paid it back to Daguang. Daguang went to him several times to ask for it back, and the two of them had many quarrels over this matter.

But I think that boy has the intention but not the courage to do such a thing, right?"

Uncle Zhao had met Wang Erniu. Although that guy looked shifty, he seemed to be able to commit petty thefts, but he probably didn't have the guts to kill someone.

"Captain Liu, Wang Erniu likes to play around with money on weekdays. He has been punished several times, but he only remembers eating and not being punished. I believe that he stole things, and he has a problem of taking things from others, but as for murder..."

The next person to speak after Uncle Zhao was a policeman from the commune police station. He also didn't quite believe that Wang Erniu would have the courage to kill someone.

Captain Liu from the county bureau's criminal police team nodded thoughtfully after listening to the explanation: "Thank you all for your cooperation, we will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly." The county bureau did not have a professional full-time forensic doctor, so when they encountered a case that required an autopsy, they would either ask a surgeon from the county hospital for help, or ask the municipal bureau for help.

The surgeon at the county hospital who usually helps them happened to have an operation today and could not come for the time being. Now they could only wait for the forensic doctor from the Criminal Investigation Corps of the Municipal Bureau.

Before the people from the headquarters arrived, Captain Liu was not idle either. Now that he had two suspects in his grasp, he sent his subordinates to find these two people.

Although they had asked for help from the headquarters, the case was, after all, their Rouhuai County Bureau's case. If they could solve the case before the headquarters arrived, it would definitely be a proud thing.

Moreover, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there has never been such a vicious criminal case in which two people from a family of four died and two were missing. The two county leaders who were presiding over the study of the spirit of the meeting gave instructions respectively, requiring the public security department to solve the case quickly to avoid causing bad influence among the masses.

The most important point is that the current situation of the two children is still concerning everyone.

When Lin Wentao and the people from the headquarters arrived, the basic situation was like this. The two suspects had been found and taken to the commune police station for investigation.

"Director Li, do you want to go check on the suspect first?"

"No, let them investigate. I'll go to the scene first and hear what the forensic doctor says."

Li Yancheng rejected Lin Wentao's proposal and walked straight into the house.

The forensic doctor brought by the team is conducting a preliminary examination of the body to determine the time of death.

In solving a case, determining the time of death is very important.

Accurately estimating the time of death plays an important role in determining the time of the crime, identifying and excluding the suspect's time of committing the crime, defining the scope of investigation, and even the final resolution of the case.

When Captain Yang of the Yangjia Village Production Team saw the people coming to support him, he was completely stunned.

He didn't know Li Yancheng, and he had never met Lin Wentao, the director of the county public security bureau, but he had met Deputy Leader Cao, and more than once.

When the county held meetings, it did not just convene the commune cadres. For example, after the summer harvest, or especially the autumn harvest, the county held agricultural conferences and required the production team leaders to be present.

Although agriculture is not part of Deputy Leader Cao's responsibilities, he still has to attend county meetings.

That's how it was. Captain Yang met Deputy Leader Cao several times when he went to the county to attend the conference.

Such a vicious case happened in their team today. He was surprised enough that the police from the Municipal Bureau came, but he was still not as surprised as when Deputy Leader Cao came in person to ask him to come.

What surprised him even more was that the most senior person present today seemed to be not Deputy Leader Cao, but the young man in police uniform.

Because Deputy Leader Cao had just suggested going to the team headquarters to sit and listen to the report from the police who had arrived at the scene first, the young man didn't even say a word, but just waved his hand.

With just this wave of his hand, Deputy Leader Cao didn't dare to say anything more and just followed quietly behind.

This made Captain Yang immediately interested in the identity of the young man. It could be seen that the young man should be from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, but who on earth was he from the Municipal Public Security Bureau that could make a county deputy leader so respectful to him?

He did not dare to think of him as the leader of the Municipal Bureau, because in his eyes, this man was too young. How could he be a leader at such a young age, and a leader higher than the deputy county leader?

"Public Security Meng, who is that..." He found the policeman from the commune police station and asked quietly.

"I heard from our director that he is the deputy director of the Municipal Bureau, in charge of criminal investigation."

"Deputy director of the Municipal Bureau? So young?" Captain Yang's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"I don't know the details, but Old Yang, no matter who that person is, since Deputy Leader Cao is here, shouldn't you report it to the commune?"

"Yes, yes, yes, how could I forget about this? Thank you for reminding me, I'll go right away." Captain Yang raised his hand and patted his head, then turned around and ran towards the team headquarters at the entrance of the village.

If only people from the county and municipal bureaus came, it would not matter whether the commune cadres were notified or not. But since the deputy leaders of the county have come, then the commune must be informed. As for whether the commune cadres come or not, that is their business.

On the other side, Li Yancheng had already walked into the house. Facing the dried blood on the ground and the two corpses, he did not show any discomfort. Instead, he pulled up his trouser legs and squatted next to the forensic doctor who was examining the surface condition of the corpses.

"How's it going, Lao Tan? Have you determined the specific cause and time of death?"

"Director Li, judging by the body temperature, the time of death should be between twelve and fourteen hours ago, which is between one and three in the morning today.

As for the cause of death, the male victim died from being hit on the head by a heavy object multiple times. Although the female victim was stabbed several times in the abdomen, the real cause of death should be the strangulation marks on the neck. Although the stab wounds in the abdomen looked serious, they were not immediately fatal.

I believe the murderer stabbed her several times and then strangled her neck with a rope, causing the female victim to suffocate to death. "

"Is it possible that there is more than one person who committed the crime?" After hearing what forensic doctor Tan said, Li Yancheng suddenly had a guess in his mind.

In his opinion, when people want to kill another person, they usually don't use two methods of killing, unless two people are fighting each other and are almost evenly matched. In that case, they will use whatever weapon they can get.

But the scene before us was obviously not like that, at least it was not like that for the female victim.

If it was a murderer, there would be no need to stab the person to death with a rope after stabbing him to death. This is not in line with common sense.

So he judged that there must be someone strangling the female victim with a rope from behind, and another murderer stabbed her from the front with a knife.

"We can't rule out the possibility you mentioned. Look here..."

Forensic Doctor Tan nodded, reached out and lifted the female victim's shirt up a little, allowing Li Yancheng to see where his finger was.

"The deceased had signs of being beaten before his death, and there were obvious rope marks on his wrists. If there was only one murderer, the couple would not have been able to fight back, and there would be no movement, unless there were two murderers.

One is responsible for the men, the other is responsible for the women, and the murderer who stabbed the female victim in the abdomen is likely the murderer who smashed the male victim to death. "

Of course, what the forensic doctor said is just speculation. What the criminal police need to do now is to see if they can rule out the two suspects who have the motive to kill.

The time of death of the two victims is already known. The next step is to see what the two suspects were doing during this period of time and whether there are any witnesses. If there are no witnesses, or if they cannot explain clearly, then their level of suspicion will be raised again.

But if they can provide proof of their alibi, and after verification it is indeed as they said, then they can be cleared of suspicion.

After learning about the victims' conditions from the forensic doctor, Li Yancheng asked forensic doctor Tan to take the bodies to the autopsy room of the Rouhuai County Bureau located in the funeral home to perform autopsies on the two bodies in order to determine the true cause of death of the two victims and to reconfirm the time of death.

Judging the time of death solely based on rigor mortis, livor mortis, and body temperature is not particularly accurate. After autopsy, the time of death can be further judged based on the degree of digestion of the stomach contents.

If the time of death is misjudged, the direction of the entire investigation will be wrong.

After the body was taken away, Li Yancheng walked around the scene and discovered a strange phenomenon.

"With so much blood on the ground, how come there aren't even any footprints left?"

Whether it was a male or female victim, they all bled a lot. And not just blood. Yang Daguang was killed by a broken head, so there were a lot of blood splatters. Judging from the bloodstains on the ground, unless the murderer walked without using his feet, it would be impossible for him not to step on the blood.

"We have just discovered this situation. Director Li, look here..." In response to Li Yancheng's question, Zhu Dongjun pointed to a small area on the ground where there were obvious traces of scratches and said.

"Based on this position, there should be a footprint here. Judging from this scratch, the murderer should have some anti-reconnaissance experience. He wiped the footprint. Look here, there is also a little scratch here."
