Hailan City, Yanghai County, Tangyu Village.
In the afternoon, the scorching sun hung high in the sky. More than half of the fishing village had been demolished, and there was a strong fishy smell in the air.
If he were to open a hexagram … there should at least be a "Kun" hexagram, right?
While Zhao Yu was walking in the fishing village, this thought flashed across his mind. From the moment they arrived at the Yu Family's mansion to investigate the crime scene, they had experienced so many things!
The Case of White Bones was getting more and more intense, completely exceeding his expectations.
Although he was not convinced, Zhao Yu still felt a little awkward because he could not get any instructions from the hexagram. He even thought that if he could get a hexagram, he might be able to prevent Liang Yili's murder and escape in advance, saving the lives of the two innocent police officers …
But … now that things had come to this, it was too late to say anything.
"Sir, you're here …" Seeing that Zhao Yu and his team had arrived, the person in charge of the local police station immediately came forward to explain the situation. "Number 267 is a stone house. It was demolished once before, but it wasn't easy to demolish it, so it was temporarily shelved.
"The people from the demolition office said that it's the fishing season now, and the fishermen have all gone out to sea to catch fish. They couldn't find suitable workers to start work, so Tangyu Village hasn't been touched for more than a month. It's been left unattended …"
Zhao Yu listened to the introduction as he followed the person in charge. Soon, he saw a lonely stone house standing in the middle of the ruins. The house was surrounded by a cordon.
"The deceased is a male!" The person in charge continued to explain, "According to your instructions, we only sealed off the scene and did not let the forensic doctor intervene …"
"Hmm … very good!" Zhao Yu waved to Zhang Peipei and the others behind him. "My forensic team has arrived. Let's go and have a look at the scene first!"
"Hmm …" The person in charge hurriedly took a medical mask and handed it to Zhao Yu. "Leader, he has been dead for a long time.
"Sigh! Such a stench … "He pointed around." If it weren't for the smell of salted fish in the village, I'm afraid the body would have been discovered long ago! "
"What?!" Zhao Yu took the mask and was surprised. "The person has been dead for a long time? Wasn't he just killed? "
"Absolutely not …" the person in charge said with certainty. "It's impossible for someone who just died to rot so badly!"
Tsk tsk …
Zhao Yu frowned, deep in thought. If the person had been dead for a long time, then it would mean that they had once again been tricked by Liang Yili. This was not a killing bet at all, it was just that he had guided the police to the scene of the murder.
What was going on?
Who was the one who died in the stone house?
Did Liang Yili kill him, or did Liang Yili mean something else?
Filled with doubts, Zhao Yu followed the person in charge into the stone house.
The corpse was located in the innermost room of the stone house. Because the windows were artificially sealed with wooden boards, the room looked damp and dark, gloomy and terrifying.
After entering the crime scene, Zhao Yu quickly understood that the person in charge was telling the truth. He saw that the corpse tied to the chair was indeed highly decomposed, and the scene was tragic.
Apart from the corpses, there was not much debris in the house, and there was a lot of rubble scattered on the ground.
The stench in the room was so bad that it was almost suffocating. Even Zhao Yu, who was experienced and knowledgeable, felt his stomach churning and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Leader, let me do it!"
After Zhao Yu had a brief look at the scene, the forensic doctor, Zhang Peipei, appeared with her assistant. They were used to seeing such corpses, even more so than Zhao Yu.
"The deceased is a male …" Zhang Peipei first examined the external physical signs, while asking the assistant to record them. "He is about 35 to 45 years old …"
"There are many obvious cuts on the deceased's body, and there is a cross cut on his thigh …"
"The deceased's cheekbones are collapsed, and at least four of his ribs are broken. The phalanges of his left hand are broken, which may have been caused by a heavy blow …"
"Oh …" Hearing Zhang Peipei's report, the person in charge whispered in the outer room, "This person … was tortured to death!"
"No!" Zhao Yu answered with certainty. "He must have been subjected to a lynching, a lynching to extort a confession! If it was really torture to death, it would have been much worse than this. For example, his hands, feet, nose, tongue, eyes … That is torture! "
"Oh … This …" The person in charge was frightened. "Is there a difference?"
"Of course there is a difference!" Zhao Yu pointed to his own eyes. "Everyone has a healthy consciousness. If a confession was made through torture, it would be inappropriate to cause disability!"
"Take my eyes, for example. If someone wanted me to say something and gouged out my eyes, I would probably want to die because of my healthy consciousness. So, it would be even more impossible for me to confess honestly!"
"I would think that since my eyes are gone, I might as well die!"
Zhao Yu said, pointing to the corpse inside. "So, the purpose of torture is not to cause disability, but to make the victim suffer a little! You see … "Zhao Yu pointed to the corpse inside." The blood cross cut on the thigh looks scary, but in fact, it is not fatal! "
"Oh … That is to say …" The person in charge pondered. "The murderer wanted to know something from the deceased? That's weird! "
"There is something even weirder! Leader Zhao, "Zhang Peipei said from inside the room." Look, there are no fingerprints on the deceased's fingers! "
"Oh?"
Zhao Yu was surprised and immediately came forward to take a closer look. He saw that there were no fingerprints on the deceased's fingers under the flashlight. They were all flat.
"These were removed a long time ago. It was not done by the murderer …" Zhang Peipei said. "I have seen this situation in forensic records. The fingerprints should have been washed away with some kind of corrosive acid. This is a primitive, crude, and crude method!"
Zhao Yu said.
"After DNA technology was popularized, these people suffered for nothing! We only needed a strand of hair, or even a little bit of skin, to confirm their identity! "
"So …" Zhao Yu asked, "This person should be a fugitive? Because he had a criminal record in the police station, he erased his fingerprints? "
"That's not necessarily true. I can only say that there is a high possibility!" Zhang Peipei said. "Maybe, erasing fingerprints was just to do something illegal, and he didn't want to leave any evidence?"
"No way …" Hearing this, Zhao Yu couldn't help but think of the word "secret agent" again.
Could it be … Is there another secret agent here?
Liang Yili is a secret agent, and the deceased is also a secret agent?
What is he trying to do?
Since there was really a dead person in the stone house, it meant that Liang Yili wasn't just trying to scare them, nor was he trying to distract the police.
Dead person … Does that mean something? Could it be … Could it be a clue to the White Bone Case?
"Leader Zhao," Zhang Peipei continued to examine the corpse and said to Zhao Yu, "This person has a lot of tattoos on his body.
