Chapter 569: Investigation Begins

Suspicions aside, it does not mean that there is really something wrong with these two people. The most important thing at present is to try to determine the identity of the bones.

Only after the identity is determined can there be a follow-up to this case.

This matter is somewhat difficult.

The thought flashed through his mind, and Chen Yi did not deliberately target Luo Bao. He asked about the museum project step by step, especially the workers who had the conditions to place the bones on the gate.

Everyone said that they had not seen any sneaky colleagues, nor had they seen any skeleton-like objects in advance.

Bones naturally would not appear out of thin air. Chen Yi checked the mechanism that made the bones fall and the location of the bones again, and finally judged that the bones should be placed here at night when no one was there.

It is too dangerous during the day and it is very easy to be discovered.

Although the mechanism is simple, it is ingenious. The location of the bones is hidden, and people passing by can't see it at ordinary times. As long as the bones are placed here in advance, the trigger conditions of the mechanism are opened when needed, and the downward pressure is applied to make the bones fall, just face to face with the person who stepped on the mechanism.

It doesn't matter who stepped on the mechanism. Sun Yuanfa was just unlucky and got scared.

Chen Yi asked He Shixin to investigate the surveillance. There was no surveillance in the museum, but there were in other places. Maybe the person transporting the bones could be photographed.

In addition, the technical investigation needed to carefully check the bones and every part of the mechanism to find fingerprints.

If fingerprints could be extracted, things would be simple.

Chen Yi had a hunch that it would be easy to find the person who placed the bones in a short time. He could ask about the motive, the identity of the bones, how they died, and what the relationship was.

But if he couldn't find them, the investigation of this case would be extremely complicated.

The difficulty was completely different.

Therefore, we must try our best to find the person who placed the bones.

Everyone present had to be questioned.

The call from the provincial department came faster than expected. It seemed that Sun Yuanfa had already reported the matter to the provincial government.

It was not from Wei Jianfeng, but from Fang Songping.

Director Sun of the provincial government saw the bones on site in the lake island, a key project in Yangcheng. The nature of this matter had exceeded that of an ordinary criminal case, and pressure from all parties would converge on the provincial department.

The provincial department will continue to put pressure on the city bureau criminal investigation detachment, even if Fang Songping is the father-in-law, he can't hide.

"The sooner the better, it must not be delayed, many people know about this matter."

After explaining the situation, Fang Songping asked Chen Yi to investigate the Lake Heart Island Skeleton Case with all his strength, and to allocate as many police forces as needed, and put all other cases aside.

"Got it."

Chen Yi hung up the phone.

In fact, the supervision from above meant little to him. He had never been lazy when investigating a case. He would definitely solve the case that could be solved, and if it couldn't be solved, it would be useless even if the emperor city put pressure on him.

At any time, criminal police must remain calm.

Sun Yuanfa hadn't left yet. After the phone call, he stood there and watched, waiting for Chen Yi to finish his work.

Chen Yi came to Fang Shuyu and asked, "What's going on?"

Fang Shuyu took off her mask, stood up and said, "No other findings, it's too clean, I'll check it carefully when I get back to the Municipal Bureau."

"Clean?" Chen Yi looked down at the bones, "What do you mean?"

Fang Shuyu: "Literally, it means clean, no dirt or stains, the whole body has been carefully cleaned, there is not a bit of flesh or blood."

Chen Yi said, "What's the age?"

Fang Shuyu: "Judging from the degree of tooth wear, about 30 years old."

Chen Yi: "How long will it take to find out the time of death?"

Fang Shuyu thought for a while and said, "Neither soil nor microbial activity can be used, and high-precision instruments from the provincial department may be needed. I will give you a rough range tomorrow."

In forensic medicine, determining the time of death of a skeletonized body is a complicated process.

Since skeletonization is the ultimate stage of corpse decay, the body has undergone a long period of decomposition at this time, and traditional corpse phenomena such as morbid rigor mortis no longer exist, so other methods are needed to infer the time of death.

If it is in the wild, entomology, geology, soil science and other methods can be used, such as judging by the humidity, pH value of the soil, the number and development stage of insects.

None of them are applicable in the current situation.

High technology is needed.

Radioactive isotope detection method, molecular biology method, etc. are all OK.

Chen Yi nodded and squatted down to look at the female corpse in front of him.

It is likely that she was killed, but why she appeared here is a point that cannot be figured out for the time being.

After looking for a while, he called Zhuo Yun and asked him to investigate the missing reports in recent years to see if there are any that can match.

DNA paternity testing is the most convenient method.

The disappearance of a young woman should not be ignored. If so, the investigation of this case will be more difficult, and the skull portrait restoration is needed to find a needle in a haystack.

Chen Yi left the scene, and the investigation continued.

He found Sun Yuanfa and the two chatted.

Sun Yuanfa has completely recovered to normal, his expression is calm, and he does not look scared, as if nothing had happened just now.

Sun Yuanfa was not surprised to learn that this case would be classified as a major criminal case. Which bastard would go to such lengths to do this on the lake island? It certainly wasn't for a prank.

"This is a naked provocation." Sun Yuanfa's voice was cold. "After killing someone, he didn't think of a way to deal with the body, but instead exposed it in broad daylight. Only a madman would do this!"

He didn't know if the person was killed. After Chen Yi mentioned a major criminal case, he naturally thought it was a murder.

Since it was a murder case, the person was naturally killed.

Chen Yi said nothing else, "The criminal investigation detachment will try its best to find out. Don't worry, Director Sun."

He didn't say anything good to Jiang Fanlei. The investigation of the case was the most important thing right now, not to mention that there was already a solution.

Regarding the criminal investigation exhibition hall, Jiang Fanlei should discuss it with Sun Yuanfa, and the latter will definitely agree, but there is a prerequisite, that is, there must be a result for the sudden appearance of bones on the island in the middle of the lake.

Since it was not directed at him, Sun Yuanfa left after understanding the situation. Before that, the secretary and entourage he brought with him were questioned and their identity information was left behind.

Sun Yuanfa didn't pay attention and fully cooperated. He even took the initiative to provide his own recent itinerary, saying that the last time he came to Huxin Island was half a year ago.

This saved Chen Yi a lot of effort, after all, everyone present was suspicious.

As the visit and inquiry progressed, uneasiness gradually fermented among the crowd. Before the commotion came, Chen Yi issued an order to let them go.

As long as they have been questioned and left their identity information, they can leave the island at any time under the supervision of the police.

Seeing this, everyone felt relieved. Many people left the island, and a small number of them had a good relationship with Jiang Fanlei and chose to stay to see what would happen next.

The bones have been transported away, and the technical detective returned to the city bureau after completing the investigation.

The harvest was very small, and no fingerprints or suspicious substances were found. The suspect should have taken protective measures when placing the bones and organs.

Luo Bao and Zuoqiu Anqing are still there.

During this period, Chen Yi never gave up observing the two people, but it was already too late. When the bones first appeared, he had no way of knowing how the two people would react.

Instantaneous reactions are the most real. Nowadays, even if there is a problem, it has been completely hidden.

After the incident, Zuoqiu Anqing stayed with Jiang Fanlei, so she did not meet Luo Bao. They only said hello to each other as friends when they looked at each other from a distance.

Chen Yi found no doubts and made no judgment for the time being.

There were fewer and fewer people on the island. At this time, Jiang Fanlei went to Chen Yi to ask about engineering issues, whether work was going to be suspended or something.

"You still want to start construction?" Chen Yi asked back.

Jiang Fanlei was helpless: "Okay, just stop. How long will it take to find out? It was originally planned to open next year."

Chen Yi answered conservatively and did not give Jiang Fanlei hope: "You have to make plans for half a year."

"Half a year?!" Jiang Fanlei almost vomited blood, but there was nothing he could do. Who made such a thing happen to the island in the middle of the lake?

It's okay that only a few people knew about it, but the white skeleton almost kissed Sun Yuanfa, and there were so many people watching, so it was impossible to hide it.

The police's warning can only ensure that there will be no trouble and it will be known to the whole country.

It can still spread within a small area.

For a long time in the future, the island in the middle of the lake will become a forbidden land in Yangcheng. Until the truth is revealed and a notice is issued, a criminal investigation exhibition hall will be opened as a matter of course.

"Don't worry about this matter." Chen Yi said, "Let's find a way to appease the shareholders and senior management. If I don't finish the investigation here, you will disappear over there."

Jiang Fanlei paid attention: "Yes, you are right, I have to go to the meeting quickly."

Chen Yi glanced at Zuoqiu Anqing beside him, turned around and left.

…

Back at the municipal bureau, Zhang Jingang also received a call from the provincial department, asking him to participate in supervising the Huxin Island White Bones case during this period. After Chen Yi led the team back, a meeting was held immediately.

Except for technical investigators and forensic scientists, basically everyone from the detachment participated.

At this time, Shi Shixin had just finished reporting on the surveillance investigation. Because he didn't know when the bones were placed there, and there was no accurate timeline, it was troublesome and took time to investigate.

At least last night, nothing was found.

Of course, the surveillance coverage area of ​​Lake Center Island is not very large, and the suspect may have avoided surveillance last night.

This is very difficult to handle. We can only adhere to the concept of not letting go of any possible cases and try to continue investigating.

After learning all the situation, Zhang Jingang looked at Chen Yi: "What should I say?"

For today's Chen Yi, he doesn't need to ask too many questions, just three words.

It is said that he participated in the supervision, but it was only a symbolic participation. Now Chen Yi's level is the same as him, and no one orders anyone.

Perhaps even he would not have thought that the young man he met in that interview a few years ago would reach his current position so quickly.

Chen Yi looked away from the big screen and said: "There is something going on internally. The person who placed the Bone Trap must be at the scene today, but from the inquiry, it seems that the other party has no flaws and his psychological quality is still passable."

Zhang Jingang: "It must have been planned for a long time. Since we plan to let the bones be discovered, we are naturally prepared to deal with the police. Do you think the murderer and the person who placed the bones are the same?"

Chen Yi: "Obviously, if they are the same person, their behavior is illogical, but..."

He paused and continued: "But the bodies were all turned into bones. A long time must have passed. Maybe something special happened during this period, causing the murderer to behave illogically."

Zhang Jingang is a veteran detective, and analyzing cases is also his strong point. He said at this moment: "If they are not the same person, then the person who placed the bones was to let the police find the murderer.

At present, this is the greatest possibility, right? "

Chen Yi nodded: "This is indeed the biggest possibility, so why didn't he (she) call the police?"

Zhang Jingang: "What do you think?"

Chen Yi: "Two inferences, first, this person is also suspected of committing a crime and dare not deal with the police.

Second, this person has other things to do. This matter is very secretive and cannot reveal his identity for the time being."

Zhang Jingang frowned: "Then this case is complicated. In any case, the confirmation of the identity of the bones is a top priority. As long as the identity is confirmed, we can have the possibility of finding out the doubts."

He saw it more thoroughly. It is almost impossible to accurately find the person who placed the bones among the crowd that appeared on the lake island today.

Of course, it is still necessary to investigate, and perhaps other clues can be brought out by the way, such as the identity of the bones.

There is no need to mention this matter, Chen Yi must know it.

The person who placed the bones must know the owner of the bones. Since they know each other, they may be found during the police's investigation.

For example, if a worker's friend or relative is missing, and the age and gender are consistent, they can be listed as the key investigation targets.

The tasks were quickly distributed. First, the workers responsible for building the Huxin Island Museum were investigated, then all the workers on Huxin Island, then other employees on Huxin Island, and finally the guests invited today.

The investigation required a large number of police forces. Chen Yi and Zhang Jingang immediately transferred them from the branch and police station, and issued a death order to severely punish those who were lazy.

Late at night, Chen Yi came to the forensic room.

The forensic doctor was working overtime.

The identity of the bones was the key point, and the bones themselves were also the top priority.

He was not here to supervise the work, just wait for the results, just because Fang Shuyu was his wife, and they would go home together after the work was done.

Without making a sound to interrupt, Chen Yi casually flipped through the autopsy notes on the table. The content of the notes would become part of the autopsy report in the future.

The wound on the back of the bones' head was irregular. From experience, it should be something like stone.

Height 1.70 meters.

A very tall woman.

"Attacking from behind."

Chen Yi looked at it for a while and didn't see any useful information, so he put it back.

"If he attacked from behind, did he know him or not? It's hard to say."

Analyzing clues requires combining with the scene to restore the crime scene, but there is no scene in this case. There are too many possibilities, and it's useless to waste your brain.

A long-standing case is a headache for any old criminal policeman.

After waiting for half an hour, Fang Shuyu came over and said the same thing as during the day: "It's too clean."

Chen Yi: "Did you clean it very carefully?"

Fang Shuyu: "Yes, there is no impurity at all. I will go to the provincial department tomorrow, so I'll go off work first."

Chen Yi nodded, thinking.

Regardless of whether the murderer is the placer or not, if the placer cleaned the bones, why? Why clean it?

Is it obsessive-compulsive disorder, perversion, or a special feeling for the owner of the bones?

If the identity cannot be found, there will be no answer.
