In the autopsy room of the Shanghai Police Station.
Here, Zhao Yu finally saw the arm that had been locked in the safe for decades.
The arm had turned into a black skeleton, which was a little uncomfortable to look at.
"Team Leader, we found some clothing fibers on the arm," Zhang Peipei said. "But the amount of fibers is very small, which means that when the arm was put in, someone took off the sleeve of the arm!"
"But," Zhao Yu said. "When the arm was cut off, it was still wearing clothes, right?"
"Yes!" Zhang Peipei nodded.
Zhao Yu said, "It seems that when the arm was chopped off, the owner of the arm wasn't prepared! So … Can you tell if the arm was cut off from a dead person or a living person? "
"This is very difficult," Zhang Peipei said. "First, it was too long, and second, the safe was not the first scene where the arm was cut off. We checked the blood residue and found that there was very little blood left.
"It's possible that someone did something to the arm before putting it in the safe, such as drying the residual blood in the arm, or wiping it …"
"Oh …" Zhao Yu thought for a moment, then asked, "Didn't you say that there was a watch on the arm?"
"Yes." Zhang Peipei immediately opened an evidence box and handed the watch to Zhao Yu. At the same time, she explained, "When the arm was found, the watch was still on the arm!"
Zhao Yu looked down and saw that it was a rather old-fashioned mechanical watch. Although the watch had shown a rusty state, according to the style and shape of the watch, it was not an ordinary watch.
"It's inlaid with diamonds!" Sure enough, Zhang Peipei said, "We've checked, and this model is no longer available. Its name is Saint Norsk, and it's produced in Switzerland. The sales volume is very low, and it was discontinued in the 1990s. The factory was also acquired by Richard Miller!"
"Inlaid with diamonds?" Zhao Yu clicked his tongue. "This watch … It must be very valuable, right?"
While speaking, Zhao Yu took a closer look at the watch and found that the hand had stopped ticking. The time had fallen to 3: 10 pm.
"We haven't checked the specific value yet because this kind of watch is quite rare. We haven't found the market price yet!" Zhang Peipei said. "However, since it's embedded with diamonds, it's definitely worth a lot!"
"Interesting …" Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes. "This is such a valuable watch. Didn't the person who put his arm in the safe think of selling it?
"Looks like he's someone who doesn't lack money!"
"So far," Zhang Peipei said, "we've only detected the arm's DNA from the safe, nothing else."
"Then …" Zhao Yu asked, "Is there any news from the data comparison team?"
"No." Zhang Peipei shook her head. "There's no one on the missing persons list or in the database. I'm afraid that if we want to find the owner of the arm, we'll have to ask the geneticists to come out and see if the gene map can lock onto the target!"
"What about similar DNA?" Zhao Yu asked. "Didn't we do it during the Ghost King Case? If we can find a close relative of the owner of the arm, won't we be able to find out his identity? "
"We did," Zhang Peipei said helplessly. "We didn't find a close relative of the owner of the arm. The ones we found were all below the fifth level. Due to the large number of people, I'm afraid it'll be difficult to do anything!"
"Hey, that's interesting …" Zhao Yu touched his forehead. "It seems that this case is really a little difficult!"
"Team Leader," Zhang Peipei said. "We checked the time of the arm's bone. It was placed in the safe about 30 years ago. This case is definitely not easy to investigate. Do you think we should take this case?"
Zhao Yu understood what Zhang Peipei meant. The Special Investigation Group was generally appointed by the Criminal Division to deal with serious cases. Personal cases like the safe arm were not within their scope.
If Zeng Ke hadn't sent someone to investigate the Tianqin Group, they wouldn't have found the safe and the arm.
"Didn't Shanghai talk to you about this case?" Zhang Peipei asked. "Although this case happened a long time ago, I'm afraid it can't even be classified as a murder case!"
"So far, no one has talked to me about it," Zhao Yu said. "But, regarding Zhu Yundi's case, we have to stay in Shanghai for at least half a month. Let's take this case as a break!
"What if it's a murder case?"
"Well, you're the team leader, so I'll listen to you!" Zhang Peipei said, "If that's the case, I'll contact my teacher and give him the DNA so that they can analyze it!"
"Okay, but," Zhao Yu said. "Although this case happened a long time ago, in addition to DNA and gene mapping, we still have three directions to explore!
"First," Zhao Yu turned to Zeng Ke and said, "Investigate the origin of the safe. As long as we find out who the safe belongs to, we can find important clues!"
"Second," Zhao Yu said, holding out two fingers. "An ordinary person can't afford a thirty-year-old diamond-studded watch! Moreover, the watch has been discontinued. Maybe we can check the origin of the watch! "
After that, Zhao Yu began to pack his things and prepared to leave.
"Um …" Zhang Peipei was curious. "Didn't you say there were three directions?"
"Ahem …" Zhao Yu coughed. "When I think of the third direction, I'll tell you first!"
Zhang Peipei and Zeng Ke were speechless.
…
Ten minutes later, the Shanghai Police Station vacated an office with advanced equipment for Zhao Yu.
This was the first time Zhao Yu had come to Shanghai, so it was quite refreshing.
Because there were still some follow-up matters for the Black Pupil Case, Wu Xiumin stayed in Jinghai and would come over a few days later.
Miao Ying returned to the headquarters of the Secret Service to participate in the follow-up affairs of Xi Wei's treasure.
After the continuous work of the agents, they finally took out the waterproof cabin hanging under the cruise ship. After opening it, they saw a large number of rare treasures, gold, silver, and cash from various countries.
Of course, they also found a large amount of top-secret information stored in the computer's hard disk. However, the information was all encrypted, so it would take some time to crack it.
In addition, because of the large number of people involved, Zhu Yundi and Xi Mengna were also taken back to the headquarters for secret interrogation. These two people knew about the illegal activities of the Xi Wei Group, so they had to be handled carefully.
Also, the case of Sun Jinjian and his wife murdering Zhu Xicheng was also handed over to the local police. Basically, it had nothing to do with the Special Investigation Group.
This meant that Zhao Yu's work in Shanghai was just a formality. So, since he had nothing to do, he took on the safe case.
At this moment, Zhao Yu was sitting in the office, with his legs crossed and a cup of coffee.
Opposite him, there was a whiteboard with only a few words written on it: "Safe Amputated Arm Case."
This was the most comfortable feeling for Zhao Yu.
Before, everything that happened on the cruise ship was out of his usual style of handling cases, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. Also, because of his illness, he felt particularly tired.
Now, he was finally back to the rhythm that he was familiar with.
Um …
Zhao Yu looked at the empty whiteboard and thought to himself, "What is the story behind this arm?"
