Daqing Criminal Division

In the third case, the missing child was found in the courtyard of his own house.

When he died, he was like a small black dot in a white frame, staring at the sky with his eyes open. This also verified the third puzzle left by the king of hell.

As soon as this happened, it spread throughout Pingyang County that day.

In just fifteen days, there were three serial voyeuristic cases. It was shocking that this stalker, the king of hell, was so insane, so cruel and cold-blooded that he killed a young child.

In the law of this dynasty, the crime of homicide and the crime of killing children have obvious penalties.

Young children who haven't grown up are no better than adults. Even the robbers and water thieves in the prison are vicious, and most of them will choose to let young children survive.

This man's heart is so cruel, I'm afraid he is really a heinous criminal who has no humanity at all. Therefore, now that it involves the tragic death of a child, the nature of the case has become much more serious in an instant.

The government must punish the villains severely, and it is bound to bring them to justice.

This poisonous oath has become the wish of every irritated Pingyang people.

About how this child's body was killed during his lifetime.

And how it was placed in the victim's home without anyone knowing it. Afterwards, Duan Xiao and the others who returned to the Yamen also performed a detailed autopsy on him.

On this day, it was just past the second quarter of Shen time.

The mighty government search in the morning has come to an end.

In Yizhuang, Pingyang County, which is only ten steps away from the front yamen, the paper windows tightly closed on all sides are concentrating the light as much as possible in the inner environment.

In the vacant space in the middle, there is a small stretcher.

Under the white cloth with a corner lifted, the bones of the child named Shuanghuan had been identified by the family members, and they were wrapped inside and out by the yamen servants and brought back to the yamen.

As far as the eye can see, the whole face of the child whose head was pressed by the slate for a long time and soaked for a few days was swollen and blue.

The limbs are flat, the legs are separated, and there is no obvious trauma.

Compared with ordinary corpses, his neck was obviously skewed, and the skin on the neck was turned sideways, as if he had suffered some serious trauma during his lifetime, which caused the bones of his neck to break at the root.

The black rotten mouth and the protruding eyeballs were facing to one side, and half of the rotten nose also expanded to two places.

The protruding eyeballs and the maggots in the mouth were filled with stagnant water, and the corpse had been sealed for many days, forming white lumps the size of rice grains inside and out.

This death condition, one can tell at a glance that it is very unfavorable for an autopsy.

Therefore, Duan Xiao needs to clean the surface of the corpse, including the stinking internal organs inside and out, and scrape off the rotting tissues before starting again.

There is no accident in this process, he needs at least half an hour alone.

During the period, Fuchaerzi and Pan Er, who also covered their faces with a sterilizing cloth, stood aside, watching Duan Oucong clean the corpse, and then use the bone knife and bone saw to disassemble the child named Shuanghuan bit by bit.

Dressed in an officer's uniform, even Pan Er, who is usually used to making jokes, looked a little dignified, but Fuchaerji folded his hands but leaned against the wall and remained silent.

At the end of their line of sight, the child's skeleton was still very small.

A few of them are people who are used to seeing life and death.

But this time, he had to really regard this case as a very special case in his life.

a child.

No one can say that completely cold-blooded disregard, the death of this child named Shuanghuan.

But right now, the only way to avenge him is probably the only way to bring the murderer to justice.

However, this line of work is not something ordinary people can do.

Faced with the state of each corpse when they died, Duan Xiao smoked the palm of his hand with the wormwood next to him, and then changed into the clothes he would wear during the autopsy, and officially started the autopsy again.

This time, the first thing he took out was a red umbrella that he put in the box every day.

This red umbrella is used to place it on the bones, and use the refraction of the light falling from the roof to examine the possible contusions on the bones of the deceased.

Because when the corpse was retrieved from the patio just now, there were only clusters of dark red flesh wounds on the surface and joints of Shuanghuan's body, and no incisions were seen, so the fatal injuries should be in the bones and inside.

Normally, Duan Xiao would rarely do autopsies related to children's corpses.

First, the bones and tendons of the children's corpses are fragile, and it is easy to have deviations in the state of the wounds during the autopsy and appetizers.

Second, for the family members, leaving the whole body is an expectation after death, but this case has already aroused public anger. If the child cannot be given an answer before his death, I am afraid that it will be difficult to recover from the current situation in Pingyang County. The rage of a murderer.

"He had severe contusions to the bone and the surface of the chest cavity, with symptoms of internal bleeding."

Pressing the child's swollen, black and blue belly with his fingers, he leaned over to look at the lower part of the owl and opened his mouth, saying that his fingertips exerted a little force, and the soft tissue in the sternum was obviously collapsed finger marks.

This finger mark was very deep at first glance, and the color of blood had not dissipated for a long time after it was removed. It should be because the internal organs were indeed seriously injured and blood clots had formed.

Thinking of this, Duan Xiao only moved the red umbrella and placed it on Shuanghuan's head and neck, then pointed at the two obvious shadows on the umbrella surface with the light,

"The two blocky shadows are because the murderer broke his neck directly. Even if his body is disassembled, it can't be seen. It is a very serious vertebral fracture."

"In addition, under the red umbrella, it can be clearly seen that there are many creases on his leg bones. It may be the internal injury caused by being lifted up first and then smashed to the ground. Because the deceased was very young, the internal organs Bleeding and bone fractures all over the body can cause him to lose his lungs for a short period of time and die."

He said this, as if to verify his guess.

Duan Xiao also opened a small opening in the lower abdomen of the child's corpse, and used the Ripper to open the bloody opening little by little. Then he reached into the child's body with his hands, held the bloody internal organs under the skin, and took them out for them. The two looked at it.

The viscera, which was placed on top of the white cloth, seemed to be a little more inflated than ordinary people, and it seemed to be filled with gas, showing an unusually conspicuous deep pig blood color.

This is indeed a kind of internal injury caused by internal bleeding, which leads to the backflow of Qi and blood in the lungs and the inability to breathe.

"But it is very difficult for a normal person to drop a child to death, because the arm length and height of a normal person generally do not meet this standard."

"...Um, Duan Xiao, so, is it possible that this person is very strong and tall?"

Hearing this, Pan Er quickly made a bold guess.

"It's possible. It takes a lot of strength to lift a child with an ordinary person's arm length and drop him to death. This person's body, or his arms may indeed be very human."

"Then he was thrown to death by the murderer?"

"No, part of the reason should be mechanical asphyxiation."

Hearing this, Fucharzi, who was standing aside with folded arms and staring at the child's body and his lungs together with Duan Xiao who was undergoing an autopsy, suddenly spoke

"asphyxia?"

"Because the stone slab and the water filled in the bottom of the patio, Shuanghuan should only be seriously injured when the murderer threw it in from above."

"But he was unable to call for help, and he could even hear the sound outside, but because the water quickly deteriorated in the sealed environment on all sides, he couldn't breathe, and finally died of trauma, internal bleeding and suffocation."

Fucharzi, who has been watching the autopsy process, also pointed to the nasal cavity of the young child's body and his fractures and made his own conclusion.

He was not familiar with autopsies, but he could see that the two wounds on this corpse were obviously different from the distribution of Qi and blood on the internal organs.

But obviously his guess was not wrong, because Duan Xiao didn't say anything but acquiesced to his statement.

This autopsy has roughly confirmed two points. One is that Shuanghuan died of a systemic fracture caused by multiple falls and subsequent airtight asphyxiation; the other is that the murderer is most likely a man with long arms and a tall height people.

This is in great contrast to what the government once suspected before, whether it is a murderer who is relatively short, or even a dwarf, so he is good at sneaking into other people's homes to hide.

It was also when they came back together after the autopsy that they bumped into Mr. Liu, the immediate boss of Pingyang County.

At that time, the yamen where the Pingyang police officers were on duty was closing the doors on the left and right.

But the loud voice and slapping of the table belonged to Mr. Liu admonishing people inside, and some small police officers outside were looking at the commotion. It is estimated that half of the people in the Pingyang government have heard about what happened in the morning.

Master Liu seemed very angry, and the loud voice of admonishment and the sound of slapping the table could be heard endlessly. Pan Er's face changed when he heard it, and he hurried to deal with his superior.

The other two who were walking behind saw all this from afar.

He just walked over and knocked on the door of the outer room and walked in, only to see the middle-aged man sitting inside who had heard about this and came over from the other side, looking out with his eyes wide open.

The county magistrate of Pingyang County in front of him is also Pan Er's immediate boss Liu Chuang, Mr. Liu.

I heard that he used to be a military officer who was born in the army and horse department. He was notoriously bad-tempered in the past, and his requirements for the detection rate of cases in this county were once extremely strict.

This time, he also knew that Fucha Erji and Duan Xiao came to assist their yamen in investigating the case, so he didn't say anything about their coming in, just cast a glance and continued to admonish his own policeman in front of him,

"Please explain to me! Why did this case happen again in just a few days! This time, a child died, Pan Er! What do you do with all the paid arrests! This makes me in the prefect My lord, how should I explain this time!"

After saying this, there was another heavy slap on the courtroom table. Fucha Erji and Duan Xiao had only seen county magistrates like Ma County Magistrate before.

Who would have thought that the violent temper of the county magistrate who raised his eyebrows when he spoke was really comparable to a human-shaped powder keg.

But the stalker case is still under investigation.

The two of them sat next to each other and couldn't get in the way for a while, they could only look at the sky together, but it was caught in the middle, seeing that neither of the two guys would help him, the second arrester quickly cupped his hands and begged his boss for mercy.

"Sir, my lord, this case, I have been really working hard to investigate it these two days, if you can't give me a few more days, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer, okay?"

"A few days, that's what you said before, how many days do you want me to give me this time?!"

"Only three days! Can you do it in three days! Within three days, I will definitely take down the criminal in this case!"

Haikou was able to solve the case in three days, thanks to Pan Er's courage to boast.

But the matter has come to this point, in fact, everyone understands it in their hearts.

The prisoner has kidnapped two victims one after another, and one has already been killed, leaving the rest of Kang Ju alive or dead.

The government has not yet known his specific identity and mental state, but if he does not search for the person and determine his life and death within two or three days, I am afraid that the victim himself will be in danger, and he is more likely to commit crimes again.

Therefore, three days is the best time to solve this case.

However, it is said to be three days, in fact, it involves evidence collection, waiting for the verification results, and the issue of going to the victim's family to collect evidence again.

After being scolded, Mr. Liu Chuang gave the other two people next to him a chance to speak.

"Fucha, Duan Xiao, did the two of you find any results this time?"

This attitude sounds obviously more polite.

Duan Xiao, who was sitting on the side, heard the words, and only handed over the autopsy results that had been written in a book before, and then sat and thought for a while opposite Mr. Liu Chuang before slowly opening his mouth and saying,

"There are some clues, but to determine who the real murderer is, perhaps we have to start from the latest letter delivered to our door."

Because the murderer had already delivered another brand new small portrait to the door of Chen's house when they revealed the answer to the third small portrait.

At that time, there were obviously many people standing at the door.

But no one noticed when someone unexpectedly delivered this letter to the door of Chen's house without anyone noticing.

Pan Er and the police officers rushed into the crowd to chase after them, but immediately caught several people who looked suspicious and questioned them, but they were all wrong.

Previously, the crimes committed by the "Hell King" were often published in the mansion newspaper, but this time I am afraid that they will really go to the government directly.

This time, there are only two small black dots lined up on the white paper.Compared with the previous three pieces of paper, this piece of paper looked like another enigma.

"But what exactly is painted on the fourth small portrait that the murderer placed in front of Chen Mingtang's house?"

Master Liu Chuang asked anxiously.

Hearing this, there was already a guess before, but this time it was finally verified and revealed the truth.

"Because those papers are not paintings."

"It's a password commonly used by murderers."

"password?"

Fuchaerji and Duan Xiao said the answer in unison, which shocked Mr. Liu Chuang and Pan Er beside him.

As a result, the two of them gave their own answers to the three cases committed by the hell king so far.

It turns out that the basic production method of all these portraits, or the four small portraits, actually originated from a kind of cryptography called Jiang Taigong Yin Bingfu.

What is Jiang Taigong Yin Bing Talisman?

To be precise, this should be similar to a general term for cryptography.

In the 27th year of Shengzu, Qi Jiguang, a famous general in the Jiajing period of the previous dynasty, wrote and published "Qi Lin Eight Sounds". This book is a book that records the introduction to cryptography in detail.

Since ancient times, there have been rumors of espionage on battlefields, and at the beginning of the birth of ciphers, some information could be transmitted through a very small number of people who could understand it.

According to legend, in the Zhou Dynasty, there were two methods of keeping secrets and cracking codes using yin symbols and yang scripts. This method was first recorded in the ancient military book "Liu Tao", which was created by Jiang Taigong in the Zhou Dynasty.

The so-called Yin Talisman is a kind of bamboo piece made in advance. According to its length, it represents different content of the war. Three survivals means the defeat of the three armies, four inches means the general's death in battle, and five inches means that the front is asking for help. This kind of Yin Talisman has no words or patterns. Only the generals who are familiar with this type of code can learn the true content of these bamboo pieces.

The three pieces of paper of different lengths before actually imitated the theory of Yin Talisman.

Because the murderer always commits a crime, the angle of view will change, so it is substituted here, these Yin symbols represent the distance of his angle of view each time, the first time is meters, the second time is shorter, and the third time is even shorter.

From the beginning to the end, he took this as a common personal habit of his own, and used it to convey the information that he kidnapped others.

There is only one possibility for those who have seen and used Yin Talisman subconsciously, one, this person has military experience, and two, he has worked in places like the city defense camp.

Since the ninth year of King Sejong, the city defense battalion changed its soldiers every three years, and some of the soldiers who lost their official pay entered some low-level jobs, and this person should be one of them.

"...So, your current guess is that this stalker is likely to be a person who may have joined the army or served as an officer in the city defense battalion?"

"And the fourth small portrait he gave refers to only one sentence."

Having said this, Master Liu Chuang only held up the fourth small portrait in front of him, and frowning, followed the method of cracking the Yin Talisman that Fuchaerji and Duan Xiao had mentioned before, and from the perspective of a murderer, slowly open the mouth,

"'The last survivor and I are still in Pingyang. We didn't go anywhere at all.'"
