Volume Two: Chapter 252: Old Friend
After Lei Zhen was denied by Yu Jing, Zhang Yao immediately expressed his opinion.
"What if the deceased was hung upside down? The hanging was sealed from the neck down, and then the head was chopped off so the blood would flow downwards."
Yu Jing shook her head, "If it was hanging upside down, the murderer would definitely have to fix certain parts of the deceased's body. This would leave traces of fixing the deceased, but I didn't find it."
Dong Yang blinked and glanced at Xia Lan, thinking, couldn't these people understand such a simple question?
Xia Lan followed Dong Yang's example and blinked, indicating to him to express her opinion.
Everyone saw Xia Lan's actions, and all eyes were focused on Dong Yang. After all, he was Sun Yu's replacement at this moment.
Dong Yang chuckled and pointed to the incision on the body's neck, "Sister Jing, isn't your photo misleading everyone?"
The photo on the big screen shows the deceased lying down.
"When everyone looks at this photo, they must think that the murderer dropped the knife from the front of the deceased. I think the murderer dropped the knife from the back of the deceased. At that time, the body of the deceased was in a curved state."
Dong Yang couldn't explain it clearly, so he simply stood up, walked to a desk, and lay down on it.
Let part of the upper body be exposed. Because of the weight of the head and the spine, the exposed part will naturally hang down.
"I have thought of the posture you mentioned, but there is a very crucial issue here." Naturally, Yu Jing had to give some advice to Sun Yu's apprentice.
Dong Yang nodded quickly, "Fix the dead person, right?"
An appreciative smile appeared on Yu Jing's face, "Yes! If you want to kill someone like this, at least the deceased must be tied up, right? Or he must be anesthetized and fall into a deep sleep. But there is none of these."
"What if the deceased was wrapped up in something like multiple layers of quilts?" Dong Yang humbly asked for advice.
Yu Jing shook her head, "When a person is facing death, she will burst out with an extremely strong desire to survive. Even if she is wrapped in a quilt, she will still struggle hard.
Especially my fingers, they will definitely scratch my body or palms, but there are no traces of these."
"Then you're telling a ghost story, aren't you?" Dong Yang laughed twice, "Is it possible that the deceased was very cooperative and stuck his head out to be chopped off?"
Dong Yang's smile gradually froze because he found that Yu Jing nodded seriously to him.
"This is the only situation I can think of. Maybe you can ask Sun Yu if he has any other ideas."
"No!" Dong Yang and Xia Lan shouted in unison.
The two looked at each other and Xia Lan said: "Sun Yu's injury this time is very serious. The doctor said he must rest and not work too hard."
"Yes, yes!" Dong Yang nodded quickly, "Brother Yu needs to rest. Let's think so. If this case is simple, Brother Yu will come to solve it in a day or two.
But if it's complicated, if you let him work hard for a week or two, I'm afraid it will lead to the disease, so it's better to let him rest for a week first."
Dong Yang didn't want Sun Yu to come mainly because he wanted to express himself, and secondly because he was worried about Sun Yu's health. He felt that he had explained it very clearly, and everyone should not harass Sun Yu.
If the case is simple, Sun Yu can solve it, and so can everyone. If the case is complicated, it will take time anyway, so it is better to let Sun Yu rest first.
"Agree." Lei Zhen was the first to express his opinion. He looked at Xia Lan, "I will take Xu Hui to check Shen Lele's social relations and see how she is doing at home and in the dance troupe."
Xia Lan nodded, "Focus on why she danced on the rooftop last night. I always feel that this matter is related to her death."
"Wang Lan, please check the surveillance near Happy Valley. If the two drunk night shift workers saw it correctly, the murderer may have arrived at Happy Valley after 2 o'clock."
"Wang Yanbin, you helped Wang Lan check the surveillance of Shen Lele's community. She was still in the community when the video was taken last night!"
After arranging work, Xia Lan came to the whiteboard and wrote the timeline of events on it.
Shen Lele was still in her community at 8 o'clock last night, and the time of death was around 1:30.
The night shift patrol time of Happy Valley is 2 o'clock...
It is impossible for the murderer to kill the deceased and dress her in a doll costume and then take her to Happy Valley. This would be too ostentatious.
So it stands to reason that after killing the deceased, he would drain her blood and then take the body to Happy Valley.
There is a big problem here. It is impossible for the murderer to move the body without leaving it stained with blood.
Then the murderer must have dressed the body in a doll costume when he moved it!
"The rest of you will follow me back to Happy Valley. I suspect that the scene of the first crime is in Happy Valley!"
······
When we came to Happy Valley again, the place was still closed. It was said that it was an instruction from their boss and they were not allowed to open until the murderer was found.
The boss felt that since the murderer had been here, he might have left some traces and kept it closed so that the police could collect evidence at any time.
Receiving them was Manager Wang, the manager of Happy Valley, and Brother Liu, the security captain.
After listening to Manager Wang's explanation, Xia Lan expressed her gratitude, "Thank you to your boss for me. This is indeed of great help to our police."
Manager Wang smiled and said, "Although it was an order from the boss, it was a suggestion given by a friend of the boss."
"Oh?" Xia Lan said inwardly that she was too lazy to continue talking. In order to facilitate subsequent cooperation, she could only continue chatting, "The boss's friend is also a policeman?"
Manager Wang shook his head, "He's a lawyer, Barrister Xu Gexu."
Hearing Xu Ge's name, Xia Lan felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. She paused for several seconds before remembering this blind date.
Manager Wang suddenly looked into the distance, "Cao Cao is here. Isn't that Lawyer Xu?"
Xia Lan followed Manager Wang's gaze and saw not far away, a man in a black suit was walking towards them with his head held high.
Still wearing a suit and leather shoes, with a sunny face, facing this social elite, Xia Lan didn't know whether to take the initiative to say hello.
After all, Sun Yu said that Xu Ge was a person who would go to any length to solve a case.
When Xu Ge noticed Xia Lan looking at him, he immediately waved his hand and walked quickly to Xia Lan.
He politely extended his right hand and said, "Captain Xia, long time no see! You have become a celebrity in the criminal investigation circle of Mengshan City recently!"
After Xia Lan stretched out her hand, Xu Ge only slightly touched her fingers to shake her hand, which made Xia Lan feel a little better about him as a person.
"You are joking, why is Lawyer Xu here?"
Xu Ge smiled, showing his white and neat teeth, "The boss here is my client. I happened to visit him today and heard about this."
Xu Ge glanced at the amusement facilities in the distance.
