Chapter 277: Bad Day, Ask for a Monthly Pass) 4100 words together
Westin's house is located in the east of the town. Jiade Town is a vast area and sparsely populated. Except for the three streets in the middle of the town, which are slightly more prosperous, people in other places live sparsely. Generally speaking, it is normal for two households to be tens of meters apart.
So when the Westin family was discovered, the family had been dead for three days. There were three Westin family members, their parents were all over fifty years old, and their son was only fifteen years old. Late marriage and late childbearing are not uncommon in the United States.
When Kai arrived at the scene, all the corpses were smelly. But strangely, the female corpse that was half buried in the ground in the basement of Westin's house was intact. Her skin was fair, even better than that of a normal person.
Although the body was half buried in the soil, what was surprising was that the body did not feel dirty at all. Instead, it smelled of body odor.
If it weren't for the fact that the female corpse had no physical characteristics, others would have thought it was a living person.
Kai stood in the basement, looking at the big pit in the basement and the female body in the pit. He was also confused. He couldn't help but feel that something was wrong, but after taking a closer look, he didn't know what was wrong.
The basement of the Westing family has a cement floor, and the pit where the body is buried is more than five meters deep. The coroner has to rely on others to help him get down. Logically speaking, even if the Westing family kills people and buries bodies, they still need to use
Don't dig so deep.
"Have you found out the identity of this female corpse?" Kai asked Saji beside him.
"No, we contacted the DMV and checked. There is no such person, at least not in Minnesota. And I have also contacted surrounding police stations, and there are no similar missing persons. There is nothing on the deceased to prove his identity.
s things."
Saji took a small notebook and reported to Kai.
"That's it... Then arrange for someone to ask people around to see if anyone has seen her. By the way, also ask about the Westin family to see if they have behaved abnormally recently." Wuming
Bodies... This is the case that the police hate the most, because it means there will be very few clues.
"By the way, send a co-investigation notice to other police stations to see if anyone knows the identity of this woman."
At this time, coroner Tommy also climbed up from the bottom of the pit.
"How's it going? Did you find out the cause of death?" Kai offered his hand and pulled Tommy up.
Tommy is a sixty-year-old white man, short and fat. He is the only coroner within hundreds of kilometers. What’s interesting is that he is not a police officer or even a regular government official. He is a private person.
The coroner specializes in contracting autopsy work in several towns in the surrounding area. Of course, Kai can also send the body to the nearby city of Wyndham, but that would be very expensive.
Private contractors like Tommy are cheaper. Many small town police departments in the United States do not have forensic personnel, because such personnel are generally professionals and are very expensive. They are not the kind of people that small towns in the United States can afford. And
The amount of professional equipment required for forensics is also astronomical.
So this kind of private contractor was derived. After all, the United States is a commercial society, so this is not unusual. Although the appraisal made by this kind of private contractor is also legally binding, if you want to conduct more professional authentication, you still need to go to
Find professional forensics personnel in the city.
"There are no external injuries. I need to do an autopsy before I can tell the cause of death." Tommy took off his gloves and shook his head. This was the first time he saw this kind of corpse. There were no external injuries. There were some tied bruises on the surface of the corpse except for the hands.
Apart from Qing, there were no signs of any injuries. "But it is certain that the deceased was tied up before his death. It should be related to kidnapping."
Kai nodded, indicating that he understood, and then continued to ask: "What about the Westin family?"
The bodies of the Westin family have been put into body bags.
When Kai asked this, Tommy's face became even more strange. "They were all tortured very cruelly before their death...and their bodies were burned in the end. But judging from the scene, it was not done by outsiders. There were no traces of anything found in the whole house.
There are no traces of fighting and no blood. All the traces are concentrated in the basement, and from the information I have collected so far, it seems more like they inflicted self-mutilation..."
"You said they committed suicide?!" Kai recalled the tragic situation of the Westin family and said in disbelief. How would a person who commits suicide be so cruel to himself? Generally speaking, people who commit suicide pay attention to a painless and quick death method.
, but judging from the traces on the corpse, it is not like the effect that can be caused in a short time.
"Perhaps the Westin family has joined some kind of cult?" Tommy also knew that his speculation just now was a bit unreliable, but he still thought of a possibility.
The United States is known as the most developed country in the world, but it is no worse than other countries in terms of superstition. In the United States, there are countless cults. Chinese qigong masters, for example, are just little kisses in the United States. The teachings of many cults here can deceive people at a glance.
It's even a bit insulting to your IQ, but the amazing thing is, some people actually believe it.
The United States can be said to be the country with the most cult organizations. According to a survey report, there are as many as 2,000 to 5,000 cult organizations in the United States, and 10 to 20 million people are involved in cult activities to varying degrees.
For example, Scientology, the largest cult in the United States, was founded by a science fiction writer. Its teachings are extremely nonsense, much like the background of Star Wars. But such a cult has now become a behemoth, even Hollywood stars
Tom Cruise is also a devout believer.
In short, it is not uncommon in the United States to believe in cults, nor is it uncommon to commit suicide because of cults.
Kai shook his head. "I remember that the Westin family is a devout Christian. They go to mass every week. It shouldn't be because of a cult."
"Then I don't know." Tommy didn't argue hard. He was a forensic officer, not an investigator. He would only give scientifically verified evidence, and reasoning was not his responsibility.
…
After Tommy loaded the body into the car and took it home, Kai and others began to visit. In the town of Jiade, such vicious cases rarely happened, and the whole family was killed. No matter how serious it was, it couldn't be taken seriously.
But the results of the visits were not good. There were not many clues.
The Westin family has a good reputation in the town. They are kind and enthusiastic. Mr. Westin runs an auto repair shop and a farm in his family, and Mrs. Westin is a housewife. The Westin family's children are in high school.
, they are neither good nor bad at school, they are just ordinary kids. All in all, there is nothing special about the family, and there has been no unusual behavior recently. They had planned to go to Wyndham for a few days.
It was also because of this that the neighbor didn't see Mr. Westin and his family for three days and didn't care. If Mr. Westin hadn't mentioned this matter to his employees, the employees in the store would have looked at Mr. Westin for three days.
He didn't come to the store or make a phone call, so he came to look for her. It is estimated that the time when the body was found would be delayed.
However, Kai still found out from his neighbor that the Westin family originally planned to renovate the basement into a game room. They originally planned to start construction after they returned from traveling. For this reason, Mr. Westin even specially greeted the neighbor and said,
It will be a little noisy then.
Kai immediately followed this clue to check whether the Westins really wanted to rebuild the basement or whether they were really trying to bury the body. Although it was unreasonable to bury the body so deep, what if others were more cautious? Thinking that the body was buried
The deeper it is, the less likely it is to be discovered. This possibility is not impossible.
But after a day of investigation, it was discovered that Westin really seemed to be planning to expand the basement.
Because this incident was originally caused by the child of the Westin family. He said in school that he wanted a game room that could be used as a secret base. Children in this period always have all kinds of fantastic ideas. This incident
All the Westin children's friends at school know this.
In addition, Mr. Westin's recent consumption records can also prove that Mr. Westin obviously loves his son very much and started preparing for it as early as three months ago. For this purpose, he also specially consulted a construction company and asked the construction company to do the work.
Evaluation and construction plan. Later, three game consoles, a pool table and some toys were purchased.
To say that Mr. Westin started planning a murder three months ago...that is too magical. He is not a professional killer, and he prepared three months in advance...Real killers don't have the patience.
Of course, this does not rule out Westin killing people and burying their bodies, but at least it was not intentional.
This case is still shrouded in mystery, and the key to it is the corpse. The origin and cause of death of the female corpse are both a mystery.
…
While Kai was investigating the case, a black Chevrolet Impala left Kai's residence in Wyndham City and drove toward Garder Town.
There were two men in the car, wearing standard FBI agent attire, black coats and black suits.
"Dean... maybe we really have a brother. A brother we have never heard of." A man with long hair parted in the middle said hesitantly to the man driving the car sitting in the passenger seat.
"Oh, that's just a trap! It's a trap set by the devil! You don't really believe those nonsense, do you?!" The man named Dean obviously didn't like what the middle-parted man said. "Sam! Do you really believe it?
, we will have a brother we have never heard of?”
"But..." Sam hesitated and said: "Listen, brother. I don't want to believe this either. But it's not impossible, right? Dad goes out for several weeks at a time. He is not an ascetic.
A hunter comes to a small town, destroys monsters, and saves beauties. Sometimes the girl will be very grateful..."
"Shut up, I'm reminded of the scene where dad XXOO!"
Sam curled his lips: "Maybe he didn't take care of his lower body that time?"
"Hey guy!"
"Okay, okay. But the information we found matches up. According to dad's diary, in March 1991, he was investigating a case in Minnesota, and then nine months later, Adam Mili
Gen was born. At the same time, the last two pages of the diary were torn out. You have to be mentally prepared that we really might have a younger brother. A younger brother that dad has never spoken of."
Dean obviously doesn't want to believe this, because in his mind, his father's love for his mother is undying. It is impossible for him to be with another woman, give birth to a child, and reorganize a family!
After a while, Dean finally said, "What did you find out about that kid?"
Seeing that Dean had calmed down a little, Sam said: "Not much, I just know that he joined the army six years ago after his mother passed away. According to his neighbors, he came back once some time ago, and then left
Jiade Town became the police chief, oh, by the way, he also changed his name."
"what is it call?"
"Kay Wayne."
"Look, there must be something wrong with this, otherwise why would he change his name?"
"Dean!"
"Reasonable doubt, isn't it?"
Seeing Dean's sophistry, Sam finally couldn't help it.
"Listen, Dean, I know it's hard for you to accept that dad has another son outside. But you must know what we are fighting now. They have already targeted Adam. Once those monsters succeed, you know the consequences.
Bar!"
"Then we should shoot him to death!"
When Dean heard this, he was obviously a little relieved. But he still couldn't break away from the stereotype that his father was an infatuated person. He still didn't believe that his father actually had an affair! Although his mother had been dead for more than twenty years
Already...
"Dean..."
"Okay, okay, I know, we don't kill humans."
After a while, Dean said again: "Only if he is human!"
Wyndham City was not far from Garder Town, and soon they saw the road sign for Garder Town.
…
"Hi, I'm Kai."
"Hello, Chief Kay, this is Chief Sheldon of the Carter Town Police Department."
Kai raised his eyebrows. Carter Town is not too far from Garder Town. It is just next door to Garder Town, only thirty minutes away. "Hello, Sheldon. What, what's the matter?"
"Um...there is indeed something." The other party hesitated for a while, and then continued: "About Tommy."
"Tommy? What's wrong with Tommy?" Kai had a bad feeling. Tommy is the coroner. If he releases the autopsy report, according to the procedure, he should be notified directly, because this is a case in Guardian Town, and the police in other places
He is not qualified to participate, but now the Sheriff of Carter Town is talking about Tommy to him at this moment, which is a bit abnormal.
"Tommy is dead...and Tommy's son Austin is also dead. I know that their last job of the day is to conduct an autopsy for you, so we need to understand the situation with you."
"Tommy is dead?"
"Yes……"
"How did you die..."
"We don't know yet, but Austin seems to have fallen to death..."
Kai was a little at a loss for a while.
"I'll rush over as soon as possible."
"Thank you for your cooperation." Sheriff Sheldon opposite was very grateful for Kai's cooperation. After all, he couldn't control Kai. If Kai resisted, there was nothing he could do.
"It's okay, I also want to know what happened." Kai said something when he suddenly thought of something. "By the way, what happened to the corpse we sent over?"
Kai didn't know why, but subconsciously felt that this matter seemed to be related to the strange corpse.
"Um... I need to look for this. There was a minor fire at the site and a lot of information was burned. I need to screen it."
"Okay, I'll rush there as soon as possible." Kai said a little frustrated before hanging up the phone: "What a bad day."
