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

Ye Lin said calmly: "There are two questions here. First, this is a straw rope, right?"

Old Xing took a look and said a little unhappily, "Yes, it's used for farm work. Villagers like to use this kind of rope. It's normal that it's different from what city dwellers use."

Ye Lin smiled and said, "Xing, don't worry. I just want to ask you one thing. Does this kind of straw rope prick people? Does it hurt when you put it on your neck?"

Old Xing was speechless for a moment. He knew that this kind of rope was mostly used to tie things and was very strong, but the surface of the rope was very rough and full of burrs.

Not to mention tying it around the neck where the skin is relatively tender, even holding it in the hand would hurt.

People from other groups listened to the two people debating, and began to look through the information, looking at the photos from left to right.

Old Xing stopped talking. He knew it was painful.

"Then he might commit suicide and won't care about the pain." Old Xing said casually.

Ye Lin smiled slightly and continued, "According to what you said, he already wanted to commit suicide, so he can't care about it."

"Then why did he use this method of binding?"

"According to our general understanding of suicide, a normal person would find a branch, throw a rope on it, then tie a knot and find something to step on to commit suicide, right?"

The more Old Xing listened, the more frightened he became. He already knew what Ye Lin wanted to say, but he couldn't refute it.

"But in this photo, the rope was finally tied to the main trunk, forming a shape that can be pulled. I wonder what everyone thinks?" Ye Lin looked at the others.

"It looks like someone is pulling and hoisting the person up there." said the technical team.

That's what they do, and they have a lot of experience like this.

"Yes, that's right. This method is usually used to hang a heavy object. Why would Chen Dachun, a man who wanted to hang himself, choose this method?" Ye Lin said loudly.

Old Xing stopped talking. He now secretly cursed the two idiots who went to the scene. They didn't realize something so easy to see, and made him embarrassed.

However, these details are not something that ordinary police officers in police stations can see.

Team leader Chen had a very unhappy face. He was about to sign when this unexpected thing happened.

He interrupted Ye Lin and said, "Captain Ye, these are two different things. Let's talk about them separately. Do you have any objection to the issue of Chen He's identity?"

"We have no objection to Chen He's identity." Ye Lin said seriously. What objection could he have? Identity verification is based mainly on DNA, so it doesn't matter whether they have it or not.

"Okay, then Captain Ye, you sign first, and then you can discuss Chen Dachun's case with Captain Yu separately to see if the verdict needs to be overturned."

"Row."

......

Yu Haifeng didn't expect that asking Ye Lin to do such an easy job would allow him to get the case back.

"Linzi, I found that we were quite idle when you were not around, but as soon as you came back, there were cases immediately." Yu Haifeng felt a headache when he looked at the files in his hand.

Ye Lin was helpless too. He had indeed seen it, so he couldn't just not say it.

"How do you want to check?" Yu Haifeng said.

"First, transfer the files over, then go to the scene and see if we can open the coffin and do an autopsy. We don't know whether the body was buried or burned."

Cremation is advocated now, but it is hard to say in rural areas due to customs.

"Okay, let Wang Longxin go with you. I have a training session in the city these two days. Let's go together after I'm done."

Ye Lin remained noncommittal. In two days, maybe the case would be solved.

The Daliang Town Police Station has already brought the case files over.

The deceased, Li Dachun, was 23 years old when he died. He was found to have committed suicide on July 7. It is estimated that he committed suicide on the evening of July 16.

The place of death was on a mountain behind Shangliang Village. Because there used to be a mountain temple on the mountain, there was a road leading up the mountain.

Villagers usually go to the mountain to dig bamboo shoots and pick some mountain products, so it is not the kind of deserted mountain.

The place where Chen Dachun hanged himself was right next to the main road leading up the mountain, on a very conspicuous crooked tree. You could see it as you walked up the mountain.

The body was discovered by villagers who went into the mountains to pick mushrooms early in the morning.

After discovering the body, the villager tried to lift it himself, but because the body was too stiff to lift, he went back to the village to call for help.

A group of people came and put down Chen Dachun's body, and confirmed that he had been dead for some time.

And right on the ground under that big tree, there were a few big words: I'm sorry Xiaohe.

It was these few words that made the villagers at that time believe that Chen Dachun was the murderer who killed Xiaohe, and then committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

Ye Lin decided to take Wang Longxin to the scene to have a look.

This mountain has no specific name. Generally, the villagers of Shangliang Village call it the Back Mountain. Ye Lin drove there, and the car could actually drive directly up the mountain.

Without needing anyone to lead the way, Ye Lin saw the tree where Chen Dachun hanged himself. It was right in the middle of the intersection, a very conspicuous crooked tree.

The tree itself is quite sturdy, and Ye Liang can just hug it with both hands.

The branch that Chen Dachun hanged himself on was relatively thin. Ye Lin took out the rope he had prepared in advance, tied a knot according to the length in the photo, and then asked Wang Longxin to stand underneath to try it out.

At this height, Chen Dachun would need to put some very high stones underneath to reach it, unless he jumped as high as he could like a high jumper and then hung his neck in the rope loop.

But this is obviously not realistic.

But he remembered that in the photo, there were only a pair of rubble on the ground, which could not be raised that high.

Judging from these points, it is basically confirmed that Chen Dachun was murdered.

Unfortunately, when Ye Lin climbed up the tree and looked, the traces on the branches were gone. After all, it had been five years and the branches had grown back.

However, based on the photos, it can be basically inferred that Chen Dachun was controlled by someone, a rope was put around his neck, and then the rope was pulled at the other end to hang him up.

Chen Dachun is an adult male, so it is not easy to hang him up, especially through tree branches. The branches are not smooth and have great friction, making it even more difficult to pull him up.

In addition, considering Chen Dachun's struggle after waking up halfway, it is very likely that the murderer was not just one person, or that some special means were used.

Or maybe Chen Dachun had actually been beaten to death and then hung up. In this case, perhaps a woman could have done it too.

If the Daliang Town Police Station had been more careful during the inspection, they might have been able to identify the cause. But now five years have passed and everything is gone.

"It's basically confirmed to be murder. Let's go and ask someone in the village."

The first person to be questioned is the indirect party involved in this matter - Chen He.

With so many things happening, Chen He has been staying in the village with her mother these days, helping to tidy up the yard and other things.
