Chapter 675: Blood-stained Grass!

Chapter 675: Blood-stained Grass!
"The jeep was speeding on the road. Li Xianjin recalled the situation when they went to the scene that day. He reminded Jia Dongming with a serious expression: "Captain Jia! When we went to the scene that day, some residents in the surrounding area heard the news and rushed to the scene to watch the excitement before us. As a result, the scene was severely damaged. I think our trip to the scene this time may be in vain."

If an ordinary person arrived at the destroyed scene and wanted to find some valuable clues from it, it would definitely be harder than climbing to the sky. However, Jia Dongming has the cheating device of Eagle Eye skill, which can capture traces that other people cannot see. This is why Jia Dongming insisted on going to the scene to take a look.

Facing Liu Xianjin's reminder, Jia Dongming showed an expression of indifference on his face. While driving, he replied: "Captain Li! It's not that I doubt your ability to handle cases, but I have a habit of handling cases. I must go to the scene in person to see if I can find some clues and ideas for solving the case."

When Li Xianjin heard Jia Dongming's answer, he suddenly realized something. Thinking of the information he had learned from the Dongcheng Branch, Li Xianjin replied with admiration: "Captain Jia! No wonder the comrades in the Dongcheng Branch call you a detective. Your way of handling cases is indeed worth learning from."

Under Li Xianjin's guidance, the jeep stopped in front of an open space. Liu Xianjin pushed open the door, got out of the jeep, and immediately pointed to the canal not far away and introduced it to Jia Dongming: "Captain Jia! The canal in front is the crime scene."

After hearing what Li Xianjin said, Jia Dongming looked at the canal not far away that was still surrounded by a cordon and immediately walked towards the canal.

Soon Jia Dongming stopped outside the cordon. Looking at the dry canal in front of him, he immediately asked Li Xianjin, "Captain Li! When you arrived at the scene, what position was the body in when it was lying in the canal?"

When Li Xianjin heard Jia Dongming ask about the position of the body in the canal when they arrived at the scene, he pointed to the patch of grass in the canal and introduced it in a serious manner: "Captain Jia! When we received the report and rushed to the scene, the body was lying face down in the grass with its head facing down and its body facing up. Because the dead grass was all stained with the deceased's blood, we preliminarily concluded that it was the first scene."

Jia Dongming looked at the bushes in front of him with dried blood, and remembered that Yuan Songping had mentioned in his office before that the clothes on the deceased had obvious signs of being torn. Although there were many signs of being trampled on the bushes in front of him, these signs did not look like they were left by a fight.

Looking at the grass in the canal, Jia Dongming frowned and asked Li Xianjin, "Captain Li! Was the grass like this when you came here?"

When Li Xianjin heard Jia Dongming's question, he looked at the bush with a puzzled look on his face and said in a matter-of-fact manner, "Captain Jia! Although there were many people who came to the scene after hearing the news, the deceased was lying there, so those onlookers did not go down to the canal to see what was going on. The appearance of the bush now is not much different from when we first arrived at the scene."

When Jia Dongming heard what Li Xianjin had said, he immediately realized that this was not the first scene. With this guess in mind, Jia Dongming said to Li Xianjin in a serious tone, "Captain Li! If my judgment is correct, this should not be the first scene."

"What! This is not the first scene? How is this possible?" When Li Xianjin heard Jia Dongming say that this was not the first scene, an incredible expression suddenly appeared on his face, and he blurted out to Jia Dongming.

Wang Bin was also very surprised when he heard Jia Dongming say that this was not the first scene. He immediately asked Jia Dongming, "Captain! The grass in the canal has obvious signs of being trampled, and there are many blood stains on it, which is consistent with the characteristics of the first scene. How can you think this is not the first scene?" Jia Dongming heard Li Xianjin and Wang Bin's questions, and thought of his inner guess. He introduced them to the two with a serious face, "Captain Li! Wang Bin! You still remember that the clothes on the deceased were obviously torn, which means that the deceased is a murderer and has fought before."

"Based on the height and weight of the deceased, the murderer must be stronger than the deceased. In this case, if there was a scuffle or fight between the two, the area trampled must be more than a small area."

"As for why the grass was stained with blood, the reason is very simple. The victim's head was chopped open by the murderer, so it is normal for the grass to be stained with blood. We cannot rule out the possibility that the murderer did this intentionally in order to mislead our investigation thinking."

As the captain of the serious crime squad of the criminal investigation detachment of the branch, Li Xianjin's ability to handle cases is naturally not bad. After hearing Jia Dongming's analysis, he once again looked at the patch of grass in the ditch.

After seeing the traces left on the grass, Li Xianjin immediately realized that the direction of their investigation had deviated from the beginning. At this moment, he looked at Jia Dongming with admiration in his eyes, and he also truly understood why Jia Dongming came to the scene in person.

After confirming that this was not the first crime scene, Li Xianjin, who was eager to solve the case, immediately asked Jia Dongming: "Captain Jia! Since this is not the first crime scene, where do you think the first crime scene will be?"

When Jia Dongming heard Li Xianjin's question, he turned his head and looked at the surrounding environment. A small pavilion not far away soon caught Jia Dongming's attention. In order to confirm his guess, Jia Dongming immediately turned on the Eagle Eye skill and looked towards the grass in the canal. A group of footprints immediately appeared in Jia Dongming's sight.

Because of the on-site investigation by the forensic doctors and police, many footprints were left in the grass, and Jia Dongming soon locked on a very special set of footprints.

Jia Dongming's gaze followed the set of footprints toward the edge of the canal and soon extended to the perimeter of the cordon. Although these footprints were covered by the footprints of the onlookers, the Eagle Eye skill still left some clues on the ground.

Jia Dongming looked at the incomplete footprints on the ground, then followed them and walked towards the small pavilion not far away.
