The Moon River was also one of Qin Island's attractions.
The lower reaches of the Moon River was a wetland with a beautiful environment. The fish and prawns in the river provided food for all kinds of migratory birds. People often fished, camped, and took pictures nearby.
When Han Bin and the others arrived, the police line had already been set up. Since the river was surrounded by wetlands, cars couldn't get close, so Han Bin and the others could only walk over. There were many people gathered outside the police line to watch the show.
Inside the police line, there were members of Team 1, technicians, and policemen from nearby police stations. There were more than ten people there.
"Tsk tsk … We didn't have such a big crowd for the female corpses case." Li Hui smacked his lips.
"The female corpses case has a high chance of being a suicide. Since we only filed the case in the middle of the case, it can't be compared to this case. Plus, the murderer in this case is even more cruel," Han Bin said.
"That's true. He even lost his head. How ruthless." Without realizing it, Li Hui's footsteps slowed down and he fell behind Han Bin by a body's length.
He wasn't afraid of killing people, but facing a headless body made him uncomfortable.
In the second group, Li Hui's courage could only be considered average. The one with the biggest courage was actually the smallest, Zhao Ming.
If Zhao Ming was here, he would definitely be the first to check.
"Yo, Old Zheng, your team 3 is pretty fast." Li Zhankun turned his head and looked at Zheng Kaixuan, Han Bin, and the others.
"Old Li, what's the situation here?"
"Medical Examiner Wu is doing the autopsy and the technicians are taking pictures. The body is over there. Go take a look yourself." Li Zhankun pointed not far away.
Zheng Kaixuan nodded and brought Han Bin and the others to check the body.
On the riverbank, there was a male corpse lying on his back. The deceased's clothes were still intact, but because the body had been soaked in the water for a long time, it was already highly decomposed.
Wei Zimo pinched his nose and mumbled, "Oh, this smell."
"His body has already rotted. Even if he had a head, I wouldn't be able to recognize him." Li Hui frowned.
"Technology is improving. I heard that the Yang Cheng Police Department can now use skull reconstruction technology to restore the appearance of the deceased," Han Bin said.
"This kind of technology is just for show. Anyway, our branch is not good enough." Li Hui shook his head.
"In the end, it's still a matter of funding." Sun Xing shrugged.
"Stop talking nonsense. Come here," Zheng Kaixuan scolded.
Han Bin put on his gloves and walked near the corpse. The smell was really pungent.
The deceased's hands were tied with a blue nylon rope. Only his left foot was wearing a gray sneaker, and his right ankle was tied with a blue nylon rope. The other end of the rope had been broken.
At this time, Wu Xia had already completed the preliminary autopsy and was packing up the tools.
Han Bin and Zheng Kaixuan squatted down and looked at the corpse. They didn't find anything that could prove his identity or any valuable evidence.
Li Hui also came over and looked at the corpse carefully. He didn't skimp on it, but his expression was a little ugly.
This was the first time Li Hui had encountered such a complicated situation since he became a police officer.
After looking at the corpse, no one was willing to stay near it. This was an instinctive reaction. They all went to the side to discuss the case.
Zheng Kaixuan and Li Zhankun stood together. The other team members also came over.
Zheng Kaixuan took off his gloves and asked, "Who found the corpse?"
"A couple came here to fish and camp. Before the fish could take the bait, they found a headless corpse. The man peed himself on the spot, and the woman said that she wanted to break up with him. After taking the statement, I let them go." Li Zhankun didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Inspector Li, he really peed himself?" Li Hui was surprised.
"Of course, his pants were wet. Are you serious?" Li Zhankun said.
Li Hui couldn't help but straighten his back a little.
"Dr. Wu, how's the autopsy?" Zheng Kaixuan asked.
"We only did a preliminary autopsy. The deceased is a man in his forties. He died about 20 days ago. There are no fatal injuries on his body, and he didn't drown. To find out the cause of death, we have to find his head first." Wu Xia flipped open the autopsy report and gave a simple summary.
"How was his neck broken?" Li Zhankun asked.
"Based on the shape of the wound, it should be a sharp weapon similar to an axe."
"There are no signs of struggle on the body?" Han Bin asked.
"No."
"This means that the deceased probably knew the suspect and was unprepared before the attack," Zheng Kaixuan continued.
"Did the forensics team find anything?" Li Zhankun asked.
"We've collected the deceased's fingerprints, DNA, clothes, and rope fibers. We've also taken photos of the scene, but we didn't find anything that can prove his identity," Reuven said.
"Compare the deceased's fingerprints and DNA with the database to see if we can find his identity," Li Zhankun said.
"Yes."
After explaining the situation to the forensics team, they returned to the police station and handed the scene over to the criminal investigation team.
"Old Li, you came earlier than me. Is there anything else at the scene?" Zheng Kaixuan asked.
"There was a blue nylon rope tied to the deceased's right foot. The other end of the rope was broken. I think it was tied to something heavy," Li Zhankun guessed.
"Yes, it's very likely that the heavy object broke, and the corpse floated to the surface," Zheng Kaixuan said.
"Did your team find anything else?" Li Zhankun asked.
Zheng Kaixuan didn't answer. He turned to look at Han Bin, "Han Bin, what did you find?"
Han Bin wasn't sure if Zheng Kaixuan didn't find anything else, or if he wanted to give him a chance to show off.
He organized his words and said, "Under normal circumstances, if it's a kidnapping murder or a vendetta, the victim should be tied from the back. The deceased's hands were tied from the front, which means that the deceased was tied without any resistance. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been willing to be tied up."
Zheng Kaixuan nodded. This was helpful in analyzing the cause of death and the crime.
Li Zhankun smiled and sized up Han Bin. "Young man, you're right. Did you find anything else?"
Han Bin didn't hide anything. He scanned the surroundings and said, "I don't think this is the first place to dump the body."
Li Zhankun looked at Han Bin with a scrutinizing gaze. "Why?"
"First, the water level here is relatively shallow, and the corpse can easily float to the surface. Second, the riverbank is surrounded by wetlands, and it's difficult to use transportation to dump the corpse. Third, there are many tourists nearby, so it's not an ideal place to dump the corpse," Han Bin said slowly.
"Han Bin is right. It's important to find the first place to dump the corpse. It's beneficial for finding clues about the source of the corpse." Zheng Kaixuan showed an encouraging look.
Han Bin continued, "I think the corpse is likely to be upstream of the Moon River, and the corpse floated here with the current."
"Han Bin, right? Good analysis, just like me in the past." Li Zhankun smiled and suggested, "Let's split the work.
Our Criminal Investigation Team One will look for the source of the corpse, and your team three will look for the location of the corpse. How about that? "
"Sure," Zheng Kaixuan replied.
"Old Zheng, keep in touch. Remember to inform me if there are any new clues," Li Zhankun said and left with Team One.
After watching Team One leave, Zheng Kaixuan said to everyone, "Did you hear that? Our current mission is to find the location to dump the corpse."
"Captain Zheng, it looks like Team One is trying to be different from us," Wei Zimo muttered as he rubbed his chin.
"Keep your thoughts to yourself. We'll split the work and focus on cooperation, understand?" Zheng Kaixuan snorted.
"Then, if we work with Team One to solve the case, who will get the credit?" Li Hui asked.
"You don't have to think so much. The leader of the task force is Chief Dai. He's an old man with keen eyes, so he'll naturally be impartial. Work hard on the case and perform well, and you'll bring glory to Team Three," Zheng Kaixuan said and glanced at the law enforcement recorder. This thing wasn't just for show.
Dai Minghan wasn't at the scene, but that didn't mean he didn't understand the situation here …
