Chapter 2 Where is her head?

Mr. Lin was stunned at first, but then he understood what Officer Du meant.

"Captain Du, you mean that the deceased was killed after calling the police?"

Du Yu took out his cell phone and said, "Listen to this. This is the recording of the deceased calling 120."

The recording is very short, only five seconds.

"Save me... Hui... Huimin Garden Building X... Household XX, dog... dog!"

The headless female corpse was kneeling on the bed, and the recording on the mobile phone was playing her intermittent cries for help, as if the corpse was speaking.

The voice was full of fear and despair, and the room was filled with trembling breaths and heavy breathing like a bellows.

It's somewhat scary.

What kind of horrible things did the deceased experience in his life that led to his being chopped off with his head and his body being made to kneel in front of a pile of dog skeletons?

Xu Yiqing was not frightened. Instead, he began to direct Lin Sheng to work, and the two of them had a clear division of labor.

He was responsible for investigating the body, while Lin took photos and put labels on every corner of the room.

After listening to the recording, Lin Sheng immediately noticed something was wrong.

He wondered as he measured the length and width of the bed.

“Why did you dial 120 instead of 110?”

Du Yu thought for a moment and said, "Maybe the deceased was seriously injured and felt that staying alive was the most important thing."

Xu Yiqing thought for a moment and gave his own conclusion: "I agree with Captain Du's point of view. Another point is that I think she was alone at home at the time."

Officer Du asked, "Alone?"

"If the murderer is still alive, the deceased should have called the police instead of an ambulance when he got the chance. People always prioritize dealing with the most threatening things." Xu Yiqing replied: "And the murderer would not let the deceased call the police."

Hearing this, Officer Du was puzzled, "Since the murderer is gone...why is she like this?"

No one would believe that the deceased had chopped off his own head.

This is as ridiculous as saying that the dismemberment case was suicide.

Xu Yiqing followed Officer Du's gaze and looked at the body on the bed. "That depends on the results of the autopsy."

I am not a detective but a top forensic doctor in the country. More truths are hidden in the corpse waiting for me to dig out.

As he spoke, he cautiously climbed onto the bed and approached the body.

Du Yu has worked with Xu Yiqing many times, but he always admires him every time he sees him remain calm at a crime scene.

The forensic doctor is worthy of being a forensic doctor.

Especially Xu Yiqing, to him, corpses are more familiar than living people.

After groping the sticky bloodstains for a while, Xu Yiqing was able to find human tissues such as bone fragments and minced meat on the bed.

"This is undoubtedly the first crime scene. There is no case of dumping or moving the body. But her head... How long did it take from receiving the 120 call to discovering the body?"

Officer Du immediately replied, "Twenty minutes. This place is very close to the hospital. When the ambulance arrived, they found that the door could not be opened. The doctor smelled blood at the door and realized that something was wrong, so he called the police."

Xu Yiqing pondered: "That is to say, in at most twenty minutes, the murderer cut off the victim's head and escaped through the window before the police arrived."

He looked at the flimsy window of the bedroom and made a bold and outrageous guess.

"Calculating the time, perhaps the murderer was still dismembering the victim in the house while the doctor was waiting for the police to arrive."

Du Yu felt a chill when he heard this!
He felt angry and worried when he thought that the murderer could calmly chop off the victim's head when there was someone outside the door!

If such a murderer is allowed to go unpunished, there will inevitably be another murder!

We must catch him as soon as possible!
Xu Yiqing came close to the deceased and carefully observed the broken neck.

"The wound is bloody and the cut surface is uneven. There are messy scratches on the broken neck bone. This shows that the murderer did not use tools such as an axe, saw, or kitchen knife to dismember the body, but... a dagger similar to this one. He cut the bones and flesh bit by bit, and finally cut off the head."

He pointed to the fruit knife on the bedside table.

Obviously this was not the murder weapon. There was no blood on it and only the deceased's fingerprints were found. It should have been used by the deceased for self-defense. Lin Sheng sighed: "What a strong mental quality!"

Du Yu frowned: "What a huge grudge."

Immediately afterwards, Xu Yiqing led everyone to the toilet.

The toilet was very clean, without any bloodstains, but the space was cramped and the layout was shabby.

Without waiting for Xu Yiqing to speak, Lin Sheng had already demonstrated the qualities of a forensic doctor and began collecting evidence from the bathroom.

Put up a note and take a photo in case you need it later.

Officer Du saw Xu Yiqing standing at the door of the toilet with his brows lowered in thought, and asked in a low voice: "What did you see?"

Xu Yiqing replied: "For ordinary people, the bathroom is a good place to dismember a body. There are sewers and toilets, and there is a lot of water. It can be used to wash oneself and it will also give the murderer a sense of security."

After a pause, he looked at the bed in the bedroom again: "But the murderer did not choose to dispose of the body in the bathroom. Firstly, the small space is not conducive to large-scale chopping, and secondly, moving the body will leave more evidence. So the murderer dismembered the body on the bed in the bedroom. Efficiency comes first, and the mattress can absorb the flowing blood and prevent blood from flowing into the floor. This means that he has extremely strong psychological qualities and experience."

Officer Du narrowed his eyes and said, "So he's still a repeat offender?"

Xu Yiqing shook his head: "I can't be sure about that. But what confuses me is, why would such a bold and careful murderer take the risk of being broken into by the police at any time and take away the head of the deceased?"

The dead man’s head must have some extremely unfavorable factors on him!
Officer Du also reacted, "Is it the face of the deceased?"

"Maybe. I need an autopsy for more information. I'll leave the body to you. I'll go back to the bureau and prepare for the autopsy."

Xu Yiqing felt that there was very little information that could be observed at the scene, and performing an autopsy as soon as possible was the right way to make the best use of the body.

Du Yu waved his hand and called the police and doctors in, and waited for Lin Sheng to take photos and collect evidence before moving the body.

Xu Yiqing stood outside the door waiting, looking at the night view outside through the corridor window.

The flashing red and blue lights were very dazzling, and the downstairs was filled with police cars, ambulances, and crowds of people watching the excitement.

The quiet autumn night in Jiangcheng was broken by a murder.

And it was an inhumane case of dismemberment.

It has been a long time since such a serious dismemberment case occurred in Jiangcheng. The last time was... Xu Yiqing didn't want to recall it too much.

He turned his thoughts back to the case at hand, frowning, feeling that something was wrong.

I'm about to figure something out, just one step away from success.

"What's wrong, Brother Xu?"

After collecting evidence, Lin Sheng came to Xu Yiqing. Now they just needed to go back to the forensic department and wait for the autopsy.

Xu Yiqing came back to his senses, glanced at his favorite student, and asked, "When the murderer escaped, there was an ambulance and a doctor downstairs, and the community was full of residents watching the excitement. How did he manage to carry a severed head without being suspected?"

Mr. Lin thought for a moment and answered, "Put it in a black plastic bag and then throw it in the trash can, right?"

Xu Yiqing shook his head: "No, the murderer must have taken the head away. If it is thrown around here, the police will find it sooner or later. It is no different from leaving it at the scene, so there is no need to take the risk of dismembering the body."

Lin Sheng continued to answer: "That means preparing a container, a box or something like that, to hold the head."

Then he made a motion of holding a box.

It's a bit funny, and even funnier with his serious expression.

Xu Yiqing laughed when he saw this: "It's more suspicious to hold a box in the middle of the night, right? What if we bump into the police who just happened to arrive..."

As he spoke, his voice became quieter and his expression suddenly changed.

The next moment, Xu Yiqing clung to the door frame and shouted inside: "Du Yu! It's the delivery man!"

"what?"

Officer Du raised his head and looked outside the door, his expression slightly stunned, obviously not yet recovered.

Xu Yiqing said quickly and briefly: "The murderer disguised himself as a delivery man, and put his head in the delivery box to hide his identity!"

Du Yu's expression also changed.

Because he remembered that when he arrived, there were several deliverymen among the crowd watching the excitement at the entrance of the community!
