The autopsy reports of the four corpses came out soon.
Jiang Lian held another meeting non-stop for analysis. This time Qin Man was not there because she was summoned away by Director Zhang.
However, the autopsy results were not very different from Qin Man's bold guess.
Because the body was burned so peacefully and showed no signs of escape, it was very likely that it had lost the ability to act at that time. First of all, judging from the behavioral state, it is easy to think that the corpse was burned to eliminate traces.
But the autopsy report directly overturned this conclusion.
There were obvious burn marks in the respiratory tracts of the deceased, and smoke and charcoal were found in the esophagus and digestive tract, confirming that they were indeed burned to death, rather than killed first and then burned.
And because most of the muscle tissue and epidermal tissue have been completely carbonized, minor trauma and signs of struggle that did not damage the bones cannot be determined.
These people maintained a limp posture without being tied up, so calm that they were burned to death. There must be a missing step.
A step that would trap them.
"Have you checked sleeping and sedative drugs?"
Guo Siyan pushed up his glasses and said, "Check, considering that the deceased's death posture resembled a coma, we not only checked for possible blunt trauma to the brain, but also for stomach residue and remaining blood in the heart. Strangely, not only
There were no external injuries or such ingredients, it was as if they slept to death in the fire."
Jiang Lian continued to deduce, and the facts were already before his eyes. These people were trapped there first, and then burned to death by the fire caused by the explosion.
But why are they so obedient? What is the missing link?
"Time is tight, we can only do these routine things first. Captain Jiang, do you want to do a detailed poison screening?"
Everyone is still inclined to poison them, first to make them incapacitated, and then worry about the poison not killing them, burn their bodies to eliminate traces, and clean them up thoroughly.
Qin Man's words repeated in his mind.
"I won't choose poisoning. Since I can burn them to death, why bother?"
He now threw this question to everyone present.
"The murderer had the ability to detonate gas pipes and burn them to death, so why bother poisoning them?"
Lai Mingjie was the first to retort, "The murderer must ensure that they are incapacitated, that they cannot escape, that they will die in the explosion, and that all evidence will be destroyed in the sea of fire."
Yang Yuhe felt something was wrong.
"No, this is the inertial mindset we often have when doing reverse reasoning. Assuming that the murderer can poison them first, causing them to become incapacitated, then he will have more choices at this time and kill them quietly.
There is no need to create a huge explosion to burn them to death."
Chen Qi felt that the investigation had turned into a blind corner.
"The crime scene was very badly damaged. Basically, no clues were left except for the charred corpses. It was so thoughtful that we can't even tell whether it was a single person or a gang."
Jiang Lian said solemnly, "I prefer to commit crimes alone."
Guo Siyan expressed vague doubts, "Can one person kill more than four people at once?"
Jiang Lian tells the reason.
"From the perspective of the method of committing the crime, the murderer used such a massive method of creating explosions to kill people. Apart from the abnormal psychology of simply pursuing excitement, the fact that he still chose this method after careful consideration shows that he could not kill so many people at once. He had to
Choose this method.”
"From the perspective of operational feasibility, gang operations seem to be more reliable, with more hidden dangers, and require a high degree of coordination. For example, you are responsible for controlling the victim, and I am responsible for detonating the gas pipe. There cannot be any deviation in this, otherwise
The accomplices and even themselves will be killed on the spot. And for a gang with such coordination, it is almost impossible for a gang to choose the most dangerous and troublesome way to achieve its goal."
"So, I think the possibility of a single person committing the crime is infinitely close to 100%."
Lai Mingjie couldn't help but swear.
"Fuck, what kind of person is this? One person creates an explosion and kills so many people..."
Jiang Lian always had good patience and temper, and would not let trivial matters affect his mood. He gave brief instructions.
"We will put aside other investigations first and speed up the identification of the deceased. Once confirmed, all details will be reported. Everyone has worked hard. Let's go back and rest for a while. The meeting is over."
Jiang Lian went through the autopsy report carefully again, rubbed the corners of his eyes tiredly, and then went upstairs with the report to report the progress to Director Zhang.
Two knocks on the door, followed by a vigorous reply.
"Come in."
Jiang Lian opened the door and entered. Director Zhang was sitting on the single sofa in the reception room. Qin Man was sitting on the other side, looking up at him.
"Jiang Lian, you came just in time, sit down."
Director Zhang's full name is Zhang Panlin. He is a middle-aged man with gray hair on his temples. The corners of his eyes and mouth are drooped. His face has a strong sense of fatigue. At first glance, he can tell that he has been worried all the time and is under great pressure.
Jiang Lian sat down and looked at the tea in the cup. Director Zhang had been chatting with Qin Man for a while.
It was nothing, but he saw that in the ashtray full of cigarette butts, there were two different filters, which were the thin women's cigarettes that Qin Man often smoked and that he had confiscated.
He calmly made a note in his mind.
Mr. Zhang had a great time chatting.
"When I was young, Black Shark escaped from my hands. In a blink of an eye, I became the director and I still haven't caught the grandson. Alas!"
Qin Man is very good at chatting, "Ju Zhang, don't blame yourself too much. Black Shark's methods are all-consuming. You almost caught him, unlike me, who almost lost my life in his hands."
It is not difficult to see that Bureau Zhang likes Qin Man very much.
"Qin Man, over the years, the Special Intelligence Department has provided us with a lot of information, and it's you who have been fighting on the front line. Minister Xu is young and promising, and is also my best friend. He also asked me to take care of you. In fact, he doesn't need to come forward.
I have long wanted to make it up to you."
"I feel ashamed to say that the Xingzhou Island operation failed. As the commander-in-chief, I have an unshirkable responsibility. If I failed to rescue you, I would really feel guilty for the rest of my life."
Qin Man: "Thanks to you, I am reborn."
Director Zhang patted Jiang Lian on the shoulder, "Hey, it has nothing to do with me, it has to be him."
Qin Man looked over and saw that Jiang Lian had an expressionless face and didn't even look at her.
"Jiang Lian volunteered to participate in the Xingzhou Island operation. It was a relatively peaceful time, so I agreed. That day there was an explosion, and I ordered everyone to retreat. Only his head was hurtling in, and he couldn't pull it back. I thought he was gone.
I was saved. I didn’t expect that I managed to crawl out and even brought you with me.”
Jiang Lian still didn't look at her, "Zhang Ju, stop talking."
"Young man, are you shy? If you hadn't been in the hospital for more than ten days, I would have given you a punishment for disobedience!"
Jiang Lian was still stubborn, "Then the punishment will be done."
Director Zhang said harshly, "You think I don't dare!"
Qin Man could hardly suppress the turmoil in her heart. Jiang Lian's calm appearance must have been polished by his ability to control his temper and endure loneliness, and there must be something hidden underneath his gentlemanly and friendly exterior.
With many ulterior motives!
She couldn't bear it anymore, she couldn't pretend anymore. This chapter has been completed!
