Chapter 1 - The Sin of Gluttony (1)(1/2)
"What's going on at the scene?"
Bai Hongwei pushed aside the cordon and asked while putting on his gloves.
"The deceased, Liu Quan, was the owner of Daquan BBQ Restaurant. The person who discovered the deceased was the street cleaner. Because the cleaner would go to the deceased's shop to fetch water at this time every day, the deceased was discovered."
"Has the cause of death been determined?"
Hearing Bai Hongwei ask this, the young policeman looked a little embarrassed.
"What happened?"
Bai Hongwei was a little surprised, but the little policeman had already run to the side and vomited.
"It's been a year, why is it still like this!"
After Bai Hongwei finished speaking, he walked into the barbecue restaurant. The tables and chairs in the barbecue restaurant were pushed aside, and a chair was placed in the middle. The deceased's hands and feet were tied to the chair behind his back, and the iron wire was deeply cut into the deceased's flesh, and the deceased's belly was cut open.
He opened it, with stones in his stomach and blood flowing all over the floor.
Bai Hongwei turned his head, resisted the discomfort in his stomach, and walked out of the barbecue restaurant to light a cigarette. He waited until the cigarette burned out before re-entering the scene.
"Okay, I know what you want to ask, but I can't answer you now. I will give you an autopsy report as soon as possible after I take the body back."
After Song Anchun finished speaking, he directed people to put the body into a body bag and take it away.
"you...."
Bai Hongwei was a little anxious, but he was also very helpless. After all, Song Anchun was the person arranged by the director, and he was able to become the director of forensic medicine at the age of twenty-seven, so his strength was certainly reasonable. Apart from his weird temper, there was nothing else.
"Captain, look here!"
Bai Hongwei followed the sound and found a word written in blood on the far wall: gluttony.
"What does it mean?"
Bai Hongwei's English is not good and he doesn't know what this word means, but the trace inspection personnel have already taken a picture of this word.
After a brief survey of the scene, Bai Hongwei didn't see anything special, and the onlookers kept talking outside the cordon.
"Da Binzi, Da Binzi!"
Bai Hongwei shouted a few times, and the young man just now ran over quickly.
"Captain, there are old cities around here. As long as there is traffic monitoring on the main roads, I think..."
Before Da Binzi finished speaking, he saw Bai Hongwei's sharp eyes and was so frightened that he quickly shut his mouth.
"I said, what do you use your brain and eyes for? Even if you don't have a good brain, your eyes won't work, right? Look, look what they are!"
As he spoke, Bai Hongwei moved Da Binzi's head to one side with his hands. Da Binzi saw a camera in the supermarket diagonally opposite, and the camera was facing right here.
"Yes, I understand!"
Seeing Da Binzi running towards the supermarket, Bai Hongwei sighed helplessly.
"Okay, let the young people teach you slowly! No one is born to be a police officer."
Song Anchun put his hands in his pockets and stood behind Bai Hongwei. Bai Hongwei turned around, thought for a while and asked.
"No, you really don't have any clues to give me? At least you can give me an approximate time of death or something. Look at this grandson being so perverted and catching him a day earlier, we can rest assured a day earlier!"
Song Anchun frowned, turned around and looked at the scene behind him and said.
"We collected a lot of fingerprints at the scene, but we don't know yet whether there is a murderer. There were signs of life in the areas where the deceased's hands and feet were tied, indicating that he was still alive when the deceased was tied. The wound on the deceased's stomach was in a Y-shape, and the murderer
It is possible that he has forensic knowledge. But why the deceased’s stomach was stuffed with stones, I don’t know yet.”
"I have a question. Were the stones in the deceased's stomach inserted while he was alive, or after he died?"
Song Anchun sighed and pushed the broken hair on his forehead behind his ears with his hands.
"I don't know this yet. Everything is unknown until I conduct a detailed autopsy, but according to my preliminary observation, the deceased died of excessive blood loss."
Everyone in the Binhai City Criminal Investigation Detachment was busy nervously. Bai Hongwei stood in front of the whiteboard and thought. The ashtray was filled with cigarette butts, like a hedgehog.
"Meeting!"
Bai Hongwei roared, and everyone in the office gathered over.
"Who says it first!"
Bai Hongwei sat on the chair and poured the cigarette butts from the ashtray into the trash can.
"The deceased Liu Quan, male, 52 years old, is the owner of Daquan BBQ. Daquan BBQ is located in the innermost part of the old city. The old city was included in the old city reconstruction plan as early as five years ago, but for some reason it has not been renovated.
.But I have already obtained surveillance from the supermarket opposite Daqo BBQ."
After Da Binzi finished speaking, after a few operations on his computer, the surveillance screen was displayed on the big screen.
"This is last night's surveillance. We can see that at 1:15 in the morning, Liu Quan entered the supermarket to buy something. At 1:10, Liu Quan left the supermarket. According to the surveillance, Liu Quan bought a cigarette.
, we can confirm that Liu Quan was still alive at that time. Then we fast-forwarded the surveillance to two o'clock in the morning, when the last table of customers left, and Liu Quan spent half an hour cleaning up the store. After that, at two o'clock in the morning, at five
Around ten, a man wearing a black raincoat came to the store."
"Wait a moment!"
At this time, a female voice sounded, and everyone turned their heads to see a short girl wearing a police uniform standing behind everyone. At this time, the girl raised her hands and looked embarrassed. She was obviously a newcomer.
"What do you want to say?"
Bai Hongwei knew this girl, Kong Bingxuan. She was an intern forced by the director to him. He had always regarded Kong Bingxuan as a related person. At this time, she suddenly said that she was a little curious.
"I'm just a little curious. The temperature in Binhai City is very high in summer, but look at why that man is wearing such thick clothes."
"Yes! This person is wearing too thick clothes!"
Da Binzi was also a little curious, why did this man wear such thick clothes in such a hot weather?
"Pause, zoom in!"
After Bai Hongwei finished speaking, Da Binzi quickly paused the screen. Bai Hongwei stared at the screen carefully and said.
"raincoat?"
"Raincoat? The murderer is wearing a raincoat? But it's been hot for days and it hasn't rained recently?"
Bai Hongwei shook his head and slowly said two words.
"Fishermen!"
"What?"
No one understood what Bai Hongwei said for a while, but Da Binzi seemed to understand something when he heard Bai Hongwei's words.
"The ocean climate in Binhai City is good, and this is the best season to go to sea. Song Anchun, what caused the wounds on the deceased's body?"
Song Anchun sent the autopsy report in his hand to his assistant and then said.
"According to my autopsy, the deceased's body was cut open with a single-edged sharp knife, and the length should be about fifteen centimeters. Also, I can answer your question now. When the deceased's stomach was cut open,
Alive."
Everyone was speechless for a while, no matter how rich their imaginations were, they could not imagine the pain the deceased suffered before death.
"By the way, what does that word left on the wall of the Dead Man's BBQ restaurant mean?"
Just as Da Binzi was about to say something, Kong Bingxuan spoke.
"Gluttony, gluttony. This is one of the seven deadly sins considered by Catholicism, and the seven deadly sins are gluttony, lust, jealousy, anger, arrogance, greed, and laziness. I think the reason why the murderer did this is because...
..."
Kong Bingxuan didn't know what to say for a while. Bai Hongwei pulled down the photos of the scene and looked at everyone and said.
"First check the social relations of the deceased to see if anyone has recently become enemies with the deceased, and notify the deceased's family to identify the body."
Everyone left one after another, Bai Hongwei stared at the whiteboard, and for some reason he had a feeling that this matter would not end so easily.
"team leader....."
Bai Hongwei looked at Kong Bingxuan standing in front of him. Just as he was about to say something, the door of the conference room was pushed open.
"Captain, there's another case."
"Grrrrrr!"
The weather in Binhai City was very hot at noon. After Bai Hongwei drank a large bottle of mineral water, he wiped the sweat from his forehead vigorously.
"Not here yet?"
"immediately!"
Da Binzi also kept wiping the sweat from his forehead. He was just about to investigate the deceased's social relations when he received a call from the police station.
"Here we are, right here!"
Da Binzi pointed to a small restaurant in front of him. This is a village in the city, where a large number of people at the bottom of society live. Thirty meters to the east is a construction site, where there are a large number of temporary workers. To the north is a driving school, where people learn to drive every day.
There are hundreds of people. Therefore, this small restaurant without a name has become a canteen for these people.
But now this small restaurant has become the most terrifying purgatory. A fat man is lying on the ground, his stomach has been cut open, and his stomach is filled with yellow sand.
"What happened to the deceased?"
