Although I was reluctant to express anticipation for the next case, weren't everyone present thinking the same?
Watching the chicken drumstick turn into just bones, I said helplessly, "Give me back my drumstick!"
"Uh, I was just trying it for you, I didn't expect to bite a few more times and it was gone!" Gao Mingqiang returned the chicken bone to me, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth and forcing a bitter smile.
I really wanted to hit him, but seeing so many people around, I held back, "Next time don't tell me you specially prepared something for me, just say you want to eat it directly!"
"Haha! Sorry, I'll be careful next time, Group Leader He!"
If it were anyone else, I would have hit him long ago, but this guy had been good to me before, so I let it go.
Just as I was taking a few bites of fried noodles, the alarm suddenly sounded: "Attention members of the Punishment Squad, we have just received a report from the 110 alarm center, stating that another bombing has occurred in Wanghui Villa, please have the team members accompany the criminal investigation team and the forensic team to the crime scene immediately!"
Another case had come up, but for some reason, everyone's heart seemed to have found a new target, and they excitedly left the police station.
This feeling was contradictory; I knew it was not a good thing, yet there was a strange sense of anticipation.
We drove several Volkswagens towards the crime scene.
In less than 30 minutes, we arrived at Wanghui Villa, a residential community where gardenias were planted everywhere, and the environment was exceptionally elegant. The buildings were very modern, and only the extremely wealthy could afford to live here.
After entering the villa complex, we quickly found the exact location of the incident, as quite a few criminal investigators had already cordoned off the area.
Xie Chuchu and Xiao Dong from the forensic team and I crossed the cordon and approached the first floor of the villa directly, while others followed suit.
It was broad daylight, and many people were out watching near the villa area, but with the police maintaining order, the scene was relatively quiet.
Entering the villa, we discovered that on the first floor, a man had been sewn to the body with countless barbed wires. He lay quietly on the sofa, looking as if he were resting.
Almost every part of his body had been pierced by wire, and even a leather sofa had been severely damaged.
I approached the sofa and felt around, put down the investigation kit, took out the tools such as the shadowless reflector and the stethoscope, scanned the surroundings, and called over several criminal investigators to bring tiger pliers to cut off the barbed wire on the deceased. They went to borrow them.
When Liu Yuning and the others saw the condition of the corpse, they were all astonished, unable to imagine how the killer had done it.
Xie Chuchu put on rubber gloves and touched the barbed wire, letting out a cry of surprise. I originally thought something had happened, but when she retracted her finger, I noticed her index finger had been cut, and blood was flowing out.
I hurried to her side, put her finger in my mouth, and carefully sucked on it.
"Senior, you..."
While everyone looked at me in surprise, Xie Chuchu's body trembled slightly, and her face flushed. She had never expected me to do such a thing in public.
After a while, I released her finger and sprayed a bottle of alcohol on it, "Be careful next time. There might be a lot of bacteria or pathogens at the scene. It would be troublesome if you got infected by accident!"
"I know, Senior, it's my fault for being careless!"
"En, it's alright, the criminal investigators are here!"
Several criminal investigators picked up tiger pliers and began to cut the wires fiercely, while also helping to slowly extract the wires from the body one by one.
The hissing sound during the process was enough to make one's scalp tingle. Seeing the bloody wires, Gao Mingqiang immediately turned his head, "Ah! I suddenly need to pee, I'm going to the restroom!"
Who knew that when I heard him, he directly rushed to the restroom and started vomiting. I shook my head, "The chicken drumstick I ate earlier was wasted."
After the body was placed down, I sprinkled a lot of yellow wine and ground white onion paste on him and found that he had quite a few beating and restraint injuries.
"This person is about 40 years old, of medium build, and in good health. He was beaten before death. His neck, chest, abdomen, and legs all have irregular whip marks, which appear to be caused by a weapon like a whip. Several wires were continuously inserted into his forehead. Based on the contour of the wounds and the amount of bleeding in the vicinity, these were the fatal injuries. The stiffness and gradual signs of the body, and the fact that the livor mortis was not alleviated under pressure, indicate that the time of death was around 48 hours ago, with an error of less than an hour."
I quickly stated my current conclusions. Xie Chuchu immediately added, "The specific time of death will need to be confirmed back at the lab using methods such as pupillary复查法 and anal temperature testing."
"The deceased's left eye also seems to have been pierced!" Xiao Dong lifted the deceased's eyelid with a black light lamp and examined it.
That area was completely destroyed, and he could only find some fibrous tissue, which he put into an evidence bag. There were a large amount of hair left on the sofa, which did not appear to have fallen off naturally. This could be used to trace DNA, whereas without it, only the sex and chromosomes could be determined.
I examined the hair medium, which looked similar to that of a man, and the man had no hair on the top of his head.
He had even been shaved when he died.
Suddenly, I thought of something and noticed the area below the man, and I gasped. Because I found that the hair in that area had also been parted on both sides!
When Xie Chuchu noticed the deceased's position, she was also extremely embarrassed. Although the deceased's clothes had originally covered his entire body, that area had been deliberately cut open.
At this moment, Gao Mingqiang, who had gone for trace evidence, returned, "The second floor was blown to smithereens. There was surveillance in the villa, but it was cut off. The cuts were clean, likely made with bolt cutters. The killer seemed to have been well-prepared!"
"En, go investigate the surveillance outside the villa!" I said.
Gao Mingqiang immediately set off. Xie Chuchu and I turned the body over. It was better not to turn it over, but when we did, we found that countless crooked characters had been inscribed on the deceased's back!
Upon seeing these characters, I immediately recognized them. They were Sanskrit!
In a previous case, I remembered seeing similar characters on a wall or somewhere!
Xie Chuchu immediately reacted, "Senior, why these again?"
"Perhaps the case is related to the organization!"
"Isn't that Polaris? Does it also have a connection with Sanskrit?" Liu Yuning raised an objection.
I shook my head, "I don't know. For now, let's take the body back. What about the other victims in this villa?"
"They are all on the second floor. It seems they were all blown to death, but only the man downstairs was executed in an extremely brutal manner. I checked just now, this person is the owner, named She Hongyuan, the president of Fuming City's Qiaoguang Lighting Company, and he is 42 years old this year," Liu Yuning replied, holding a document.
