Chapter 448 [Policewoman and Police Dog 30]
The situation in the disaster area has basically stabilized, and there are no major incidents. Only some post-construction work needs to be dealt with. After completing their mission, the members of the police dog team returned to the base, while Dr. Chen, as a member of the Blue Sky Rescue Team, chose to stay at the scene temporarily to continue to provide assistance.
After returning to the base, Jiahui immediately informed Qin Ming that she was safe. Qin Ming was very happy to know that Jiahui had returned safely, but he had an unsolved case on hand, so he could only stay for the time being.
Considering that everyone had just returned from the disaster area and needed proper rest and adjustment both physically and mentally, Du Fei gave everyone a few days off. After receiving this news, Jiahui decided to go to Qin Ming's place to find him.
However, when Jiahui arrived, she happened to see Qin Ming and a group of people arguing fiercely. It turned out that Qin Ming was preparing to perform an autopsy on a body, but the forensic doctor from the neighboring city said that the autopsy could not be performed before the identity of the body was confirmed, and the consent of the deceased's family must be obtained.
Qin Ming argued: "For corpses with unknown causes of death, the public security organs have the right to decide whether to conduct an autopsy based on the actual situation."
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, the family of the deceased rushed to the scene and made it clear that they did not agree to an autopsy on the body.
Qin Ming felt helpless about what was happening. The son of the deceased refused to allow the medical examiner to perform an autopsy and insisted on cremating the body. He claimed that his father had a history of mental illness and that the accidental death was entirely due to a fall when he went out after the onset of the disease.
Jiahui stood quietly by and listened, feeling strange. She always felt that the family members of the deceased were acting strangely, as if they were hiding something. However, was this just her illusion, or was there really some secret hidden in it?
Since the two sides could not reach a consensus, the director personally came to participate in the discussion of the case. After investigation, it was learned that the deceased was Xie Qingong, a 53-year-old male citizen of this city, who ran a small brick kiln with an annual income of about 100,000 yuan. According to people around him, Xie Qingong did suffer from mania and had a record of buying drugs to suppress the disease. Yesterday afternoon, he went to the pharmacy to buy medicine and then went to his son's home.
It is worth mentioning that the deceased's son, Xie Hao, was adopted and has now become the main person in charge of the brick kiln factory. Xie Hao's home is very close to the crime scene, but due to the remote environment and no cameras installed, it is impossible to know exactly why Xie Qingong came to this reed marsh. This undoubtedly added many difficulties to the investigation of the case.
Jiahui thought to herself: Xie Hao is so suspicious, his reaction seems too intense. The cause of his father's death has not yet been determined, but he is eager to cremate the body. Is there any secret hidden in this?
At this time, a policeman put forward his own speculation: "The deceased may have suffered a sudden attack of mania, which led to an unfortunate end." However, such an inference is not completely convincing.
The police carefully inspected the scene in the reed marsh and finally determined the range of the deceased's activities based on various traces. There were many footprints all over the reed marsh, but all of them belonged to the same person. This person walked back and forth between the inner circle and the outer circle at least four times. Apart from that, the only footprints left at the scene were the police's own shoe prints.
Dabao couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that someone waded through the water, so there were no shoe prints left?"
Lin Tao immediately retorted: "That's impossible! If someone really waded through the water, they would definitely leave footprints on the land after landing. But in fact, there are no footprints of anyone else on the land."
Lin Tao immediately raised another question: "Moreover, the deceased was barefoot, but there were no barefoot shoe prints at the scene."
Just as everyone was lost in thought, they found the deceased's shoes at the scene. After comparison, they were found to be an exact match with the shoe prints at the scene.
All these signs seem like a suicide, but also like an accident. The truth is becoming more and more confusing...
Qin Ming took out the record of the deceased going to the hospital to buy medicine on the day of the incident, and spread it flat on the table, staring at it sharply, as if he wanted to see through the paper to see the truth hidden in it.
He slowly said, "After my in-depth and detailed investigation, I can confirm that the deceased did take drugs on the day of the incident, but what is puzzling is why he still had a manic attack? This is totally unreasonable!"
His words struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer, and the whole room fell into a dead silence. Everyone looked at each other, with confusion and doubt on their faces.
At this time, the director broke the silence. He frowned and said in a serious tone: "It seems that Xie Hao is very suspicious."
As he spoke, he tapped the table with his fingers, as if he was thinking about something important.
Qin Ming nodded, agreeing with the director's opinion. He continued to analyze, "According to our previous interrogation records, the deceased rarely fell ill during his lifetime, and even if he did, he would usually wake up in half an hour. However, this time he wandered around in the reed marsh for a full hour, but he never regained consciousness. What happened during this period? Is it related to Xie Hao?"
After thinking for a moment, the director gave an order: "Immediately launch a comprehensive investigation into Xie Hao. Don't let go of any clues! At the same time, re-examine the crime scene and look for clues that may have been overlooked. We must solve this mystery as soon as possible and give an explanation to the victim and his family!"
Qin Ming continued to take out the autopsy report and handed it to the director: "Director, please take a look at this autopsy report. The report shows that there are some obvious nail marks on the arms of the deceased. These marks are fresh injuries before death, and it is obvious that the deceased himself could never cause such injuries. In addition, according to the footage recorded by the law enforcement camera used by the police at the scene, we can clearly see that there is no dirt attached to the front of the deceased's clothes. This detail shows that the deceased did not die from a forehead impact at the crime scene. Regarding the direction of the blood flow, we have made some new progress."
Having said that, Dabao quickly carried a model corpse into the room.
Qin Ming went on to explain: "Based on the blood flowing from the wound on the victim's face to the top of his head, it is almost impossible that this blood flow was caused by the victim himself. On the contrary, it is more likely that the victim was carried on the shoulders of others. This discovery coincides with the description of the tall figure by the witnesses at the crime scene. Based on the above signs and evidence, Director, I solemnly apply to you to perform an autopsy on the body to further investigate this case. Only through autopsy can we obtain more key information and uncover the truth behind the case."
The director carefully read the autopsy report. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Qin Ming, nodded, and replied firmly: "Okay, Qin Ming, I will leave this task to you. I believe you will give everyone a satisfactory answer."
After saying that, the director returned the autopsy report to Qin Ming, expressing his trust and support for his work.
