As a local policeman, is it appropriate for you to take over the job of a criminal policeman?

So it is normal that no one came to see it. The person who reported the case happened to pass by here in the morning and wanted to take a shortcut when he discovered it.

There are several issues that need to be determined now. First, who is the deceased? Second, is it a murder? Third, is this the crime scene? For the time being, Ye Lin doesn't know any of these and has to wait for the forensic report.

We stayed in the wasteland for the whole morning, searching for any clues nearby, and only went back at noon.

After lunch, Director Feng took the lead in convening the first analysis meeting on the case.

Xu Zhenhua was holding the forensic report.

"The deceased is a female, about 30 years old, and has no children."

"The initial estimate of the time of death was around 12 o'clock last night, and the cause of death was burns."

Ye Lin frowned and interrupted, "Burned alive?"

This is a bit cruel, and this is usually done to vent anger.

"Not entirely." Captain Xu organized his words. "The forensic doctor said that the deceased had been seriously injured and had multiple fractures. In fact, he was already dying or in a coma."

"Does that mean the deceased was beaten before his death?" Ye Lin asked.

"It's hard to say for now, because the deceased's skin tissue was completely burned to charcoal, and it's impossible to conduct a physical examination."

"Captain Xu, it must have been burning for a long time to be like this, and gasoline or something must have been used."

"Yes, it's also mentioned in the technical department's report." Captain Xu took out another report.

"The technical department found some residual gasoline on the grass at the scene, which should have leaked out when it was sprinkled there."

"In addition, the on-site technical department conducted a search and found a few fragments of paper in the ashes. The words on them could not be clearly seen, and they are still in the process of restoring the fragments."

"There are a lot of footprints on the open ground at the scene, but most of them are on the grass. It is not possible to determine whether there are footprints of the murderer there."

"That's all for now." Xu Zhenhua sat down.

Director Feng looked at everyone, then looked at Ye Lin, "Captain Ye, what do you think we should do next?"

"Director Feng is too polite. Captain Xu is very experienced. We will follow Captain Xu's ideas."

"Personally, I think that if a body was burned in such a remote place, it would be fine if it wasn't the first crime scene. If it was, then the person must have killed someone in a fit of passion or was driving a car. Otherwise, who would bring gasoline with them?"

"Another thing is that the murderer is burning in this wilderness. Although it is far from the road, it is still easy for people to see it."

"He could have taken the body to a more remote location, or dumped it in another way. Why did he choose such an obvious way to dispose of the body? Was there a special reason or was time very tight?"

Ye Lin raised two questions, mainly not about Yuezhou, so he didn't say too much.

Director Feng looked at Ye Lin approvingly, then turned to everyone, "Captain Ye, what you said is very good. Let's all learn this way of thinking."

"Captain Xu, please arrange the tasks."

Xu Zhenhua stood up and said, "Director Feng, Captain Ye, let's first determine the identity of the deceased, then investigate the surveillance cameras around the crime scene, and then visit the surrounding villages to see if there are any findings."

"Okay, get moving, and tell me as soon as you have any news."

Director Feng stood up, said goodbye to Ye Lin and went to the meeting.

All the people from the Haizhou Criminal Investigation Brigade went down according to Captain Xu's deployment, and Ye Lin followed them to visit the surrounding areas.

The place where the deceased was found was a village road, not a main road. Further in were several villages: Beitai Village, Caochang Village and Dapu Village, three villages in total, with hundreds of households in total, so it was quite tiring to visit them all.

In one morning, they asked all the questions in the first village, Beitai Village, but no one knew what had happened.

Before we reached the second village, we received a call from the police station. Someone came to report the disappearance of a female teacher from Haizhou University.

The teacher's name is Fan Jiawen, she is 27 years old and is a teacher in the Chinese Department of Haizhou University. She is also the class teacher.

According to the teaching schedule, she had a class this morning, but she didn't show up on time, so the school called her, but no one answered. She couldn't be found on campus, and she didn't go home, so the school called the police directly.

According to the information provided by the school, this woman is most likely the deceased, and her home is in Dapu Village at the end of this road.

With this information, Captain Xu led Ye Lin and his men directly to Dapu Village and found Fan Jiawen's home.

Although Dapu Village is called a village, it is not an old-fashioned village like in the past. It is a modern new village where every household lives in a building built on their homestead.

The richer ones build more luxurious ones, and the poorer ones build more practical ones.

Fan Jiawen's family was not very wealthy, they only had a three-story cement house. Her parents were as anxious as ants on a hot pan and started calling everywhere to look for her.

"Comrade police, you must find my daughter. She is a well-behaved and filial child. Nothing can happen to her." As soon as Lao Fan saw Captain Xu, tears fell from his eyes. Being a police officer was not a good thing for them at this time.

As a police officer, I see this kind of scene a lot. It's like this every time I find a victim's home.

"Uncle, we are just here to understand the situation, don't worry." Captain Xu asked Xiaoshi to collect DNA for the two elderly people.

"Why do we still need to collect this? Has something happened to my daughter?" As soon as Old Fan saw that something was wrong, he stopped immediately and grabbed Captain Xu to question him.

"Do you know something? Tell me." Seeing Captain Xu who was a little hesitant, Lao Fan became even more anxious.

"It's like this. We found a charred female corpse this morning. We haven't confirmed her identity yet, so we need to collect samples for comparison." Captain Xu said helplessly.

"Female corpse? Burnt? My daughter—" Upon hearing this, Lao Fan's wife He Aihua could not continue the call and fainted on the ground.

A group of people hurriedly helped him up and started pinching his Ren Zhong point, finally waking him up.

As soon as she woke up, He Aihua grabbed Captain Xu and looked at him with pleading eyes, "Comrade police, do you think this is not my daughter? She was taken by someone else, right?"

Captain Xu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Auntie, everything must be confirmed through testing. You must cooperate with us to take samples first, and then we can compare them. Do you understand?"

"If it's not your daughter, we will find your daughter through other channels as soon as possible."

"Then check it quickly. What are you waiting for? That is definitely not my daughter, absolutely not." He Aihua could no longer control her emotions and pulled Captain Xu to take a sample from her.
