One summer, a man named Cui Guoqing was taken to a local funeral home for cremation, and the death certificate of the body read: Drinking to death.
The funeral home staff was not surprised by this method of death, and as usual, when they opened the door of the crematorium and prepared to cremate the body, they found that the crematorium was malfunctioning.
Therefore, the cremation was temporarily stopped and prepared to be inspected and repaired before working.
During the maintenance of the crematorium, the judiciary comes to inspect the work on a routine basis (the judiciary regularly inspects the funeral home).
The forensic doctors examined and reviewed the information of each deceased one by one.
When the forensic doctors saw Cui Guoqing's body, they checked his death certificate and did not pay much attention after seeing the words "drinking to death".
Just when the judicial department had finished inspecting the work and was preparing to go back, an old forensic doctor named Zuo Zhijin happened to glance at Cui Guoqing's body.
He found that the face of the deceased had a strange feeling. So, he approached and examined the body.
He found that the burial of the deceased was very exquisite, the body was covered with a white cloth sheet, and the bottom was covered with a golden yellow cloth sheet, which is the so-called "gold cover silver", which means to enjoy glory and wealth after death.
To remove the odor of the corpse, a packet of tea leaves was stuffed in the mouth.
In the palm of his left hand is a small twist flower, and in the palm of his right hand is a five-cent coin.
(Note: This is a local custom, legend has it that after a person dies, he will drink Meng Po soup to be reborn, but Meng Po soup will cost a copper to buy, so the five-cent coin is to buy Meng Po soup.) Meng Po raised a dog, in order not to be bitten by the dog, she also prepared a small twist flower, and quickly reincarnated when the puppy ate the twist flower. ）
Cui Guoqing is one meter and eight meters tall, the joints of the body are very large, the color of the corpse spots is dark and purple, in line with the characteristics of alcohol poisoning and sudden death of the corpse, there is nothing abnormal.
The old forensic doctor Zuo Zhijin examined the body again and again, and he found that the body was not only well-dressed, but also cleaned up by the family, and there seemed to be no problem.
However, when he focused his gaze on the corpse's face again, he still felt a little strange, giving people a look of not washing his face and getting dusty.
Seeing this situation, he vaguely thought that the forensic predecessors had said:
People who are strangled occasionally see particularly small, almost invisible bleeding spots on their faces, which are called "dirty faces", also known as "strangled faces".
Thinking of this, Zuo Zhijin suddenly tensed up, if it is true as the predecessor said, then Cui Guoqing may have been strangled to death, not a normal death, this is a criminal case of deliberate murder.
Zuo Zhijin did not dare to be sloppy and immediately reported his ideas to his superiors.
Subsequently, Cui Guoqing's body was transported to the dissection room for detailed autopsy examination.
Zuo Zhijin did not hesitate at all and went straight to the subject, since Cui Guoqing was poisoned by alcoholism and drank to death, then there would be a large amount of alcohol residue in his liver and blood.
So the liver and blood were quickly removed for testing.
However, the test results disappointed Zuo Zhijin, who had a high concentration of alcohol in his blood and had reached a lethal amount!
According to this result, the conclusion that Cui Guoqing died of alcohol poisoning is basically possible.
This made Zuo Zhijin feel pressured, if his expectations were not valid, wouldn't he have made a joke in front of everyone?
Zuo Zhijin was not dead hearted, and then performed an autopsy on the neck of the deceased, and as a result, the knife went down, and the truth came out:
Cui Guoqing's subcutaneous tissue and muscles in his neck had obvious rupture marks, a large number of blood clots were mixed between the muscles on both sides and in front of his neck, and the neck organs were in a state of confusion and erosion.
These phenomena clearly show that Cui Guoqing's neck has been under great pressure, and his neck has been twisted and repeatedly rubbed by external forces, which eventually led to Cui Guoqing's death. These phenomena are not caused by how you drink alcohol.
In order to verify his conclusions, forensic doctor Zuo Zhijin and his colleagues went to the scene of the death.
The scene of death is full of doubts
Cui Guoqing's family conditions are not good, and there are several brick and tile houses in the countryside.
Seeing the arrival of the forensic doctor and the police, Cui Guoqing's wife quickly greeted him. And took them into the house where Cui Guoqing died.
Seeing the police looking around for clues, Cui Guoqing's wife took out a liquor bottle and said: He drank this wine to death.
Inside the room is a double bed, because to identify alcohol poisoning, the concentration of alcohol residue of vomit is very important, the police wanted to find some vomit residue on the futon, but when they looked, they found that there was only a bed board on the bed, and the futon was missing.
The police curiously asked Cui Guoqing's wife: Where is the futon on the bed?
She replied: I threw it.
The police asked again: Where did it go?
She replied: Thrown into the hut.
The police rushed to the hut, but found that there was nothing inside.
The police asked again: Is there anything inside the hut?
She replied: I burned it.
The policeman asked again: Why did it burn?
She replied without anger: I don't burn the things of dead people, what do I keep!
In a word, choked the police into speechless! Considering that it was reasonable to burn the things of dead people according to custom, the police did not continue to interrogate them.
Just as the police continued to search for clues, Cui Guoqing's wife called his brother over.
Cui Guoqing's brother, who had a much kinder attitude than his wife, told the police about the situation when Cui Guoqing died:
"On the night of national day, he drank too much, and as soon as he got home, he lay on the bed and slept, and his wife saw that he was drunk, so she took the child to the next room to sleep. The next morning, his wife found Cui Guoqing lying face down on the bed, his neck stuck on the iron fence at the head of the bed, and the person was stuck. ”
In order to let the police more intuitively understand what Cui Guoqing looked like when he died, Cui Guoqing's brother took the initiative to demonstrate it in bed again.
However, according to the demonstration of Cui Guoqing's brother, forensic doctor Zuo Zhijin found a suspicious point: the gap between several iron fences at the head of the bed was very large, and the head would not be stuck at all, and when people were lying on their stomachs, the focus was on the chest, not the neck.
Forensic doctor Zuo Zhijin thought while pressing the back of cui Guoqing's brother's head lying on the bed with his hand, and the two fences could not jam their necks and heads at all.
Although he saw the flaw, Zuo Zhijin still did not move, in order to avoid hitting the grass and startling the snake, he nodded his head vigorously and said: This is the case, I understand.
Subsequently, the police visited the surrounding neighbors, and the information given by the villagers was basically the same: Cui Guoqing usually did not drink much, and rarely saw him drunk.
After this on-site investigation, forensic doctor Zuo Zhijin basically came to a conclusion: this must be a murder case!
However, the killer is not yet possible to determine based on the current clues.
As the saying goes, the people close the sky and cannot be delayed.
After leaving the investigation site, Zuo Zhijin organized relevant units to conduct a poison test on Cui Guoqing's body.
The test results were encouraging, and in addition to alcohol, Cui Guoqing also found the composition of sleeping pills and tranquilizers.
Although there were more and more suspicious points and evidence, since then, the investigation of the police in the village has not made much progress, so the case has been deadlocked for two weeks.
In order to avoid alarming the murderer, the police decided to withdraw their police force and arrange for only one policeman to secretly observe the movements of the entire village.
This arrangement has brought new developments to the case.
The policemen who were secretly observing found that after the other police officers retreated, the first to go out to the east and west were Cui Guoqing's brother and daughter-in-law.
The two men rushed to the homes of villagers whom the police had questioned at intervals. And ask the neighbors, what did the police ask? How did they respond to the police?
The two of them made Zuo Zhijin wonder very much.
As the families of the deceased, it is understandable that they are concerned about the progress of the deceased's case. But what makes people wonder is that they can go to the public security bureau and understand the progress of the case in an open and honest manner, so why should they go door to door to inquire about information?
The only explanation is that there is a ghost in the heart of the two!
Thinking of this, Zuo Zhijin also remembered that it was a pity that Cui Guoqing died young, but when his wife and brother described Cui Guoqing's death, it was like chatting with others, and they couldn't see any sadness or sadness.
When they answered the police questions, they were clear-thinking, calm and smooth, and well-organized, as if they had been rehearsed.
Moreover, when the police entered the room of the deceased, Cui Guoqing's wife took the initiative to show the wine bottle to the police, afraid that others would not know. Cui Guoqing's brother also took the initiative to lie in bed to show the situation of the deceased.
These actions seem to be deliberately concealing some information.
With so much doubt and evidence, the police decided to summon Cui Guoqing's wife and brother to the police station for questioning.
The two thought that the matter had been exposed, and went to the police station to tremble and tremble, plus they were both native farmers, had never seen any big position, and the serious environment of the police station frightened them into weakness and sweating!
Therefore, without waiting for the police to ask questions, they took the initiative to account for the whole process of killing Cui Guoqing.
The clouds see the sun, and the water falls out
It turned out that Cui Guoqing was born in a very poor peasant family, and his parents died at an early age. Cui Guoqing followed his brother to his death.
Because the two were young and could not earn money to survive, the two grew up relying on the handouts of the villagers, wearing hundreds of clothes and eating hundreds of meals.
After the two slowly grew up, they made a living by farming and working, and their lives gradually improved.
As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father, seeing that the two brothers have reached the age of marriage, but there is no money in the family, so the brother has not been married, but earned money for the younger brother to marry the daughter-in-law.
However, what people did not expect was that the young and strong Cui Guoqing had no fertility. The two were married for five or six years and had no children.
This can be anxious to spoil a family, as the saying goes, no filial piety has three, no queen is greater! Without heirs, the two brothers of the Cui family could not lift their heads and were embarrassed in the village.
In this case, Cui Guoqing's wife and brother had an adulterous affair and gave birth to two sons successively. Cui Guoqing kept in the dark until his death.
As the children grew up, the mentality of Cui Guoqing's wife and brother gradually changed. In their view, Cui Guoqing has become a superfluous person.
Without Cui Guoqing, a family of four could have enjoyed itself and lived a normal family life. The presence of Cui Guoqing makes the brother you'er unable to recognize.
Under the influence of this psychology, the two gradually developed the idea of getting rid of Cui Guoqing.
However, killing people is not a trivial matter, in order to be able to get rid of Cui Guoqing without flaws, the two have undergone careful plotting and planning.
Cui Guoqing's brother bought 30 tablets of tranquilizers at one time outside the village, and Cui Guoqing's wife wrapped 30 tablets of tranquilizers in 30 dumplings. And there are special marks on the dumplings.
When Cui Guoqing returned home after finishing his work, his wife brought 30 dumplings and prepared a few small dishes and a glass of white wine for Cui Guoqing.
Cui Guoqing was tired for a day, and without thinking much, he ate dumplings and drank small wine.
After a few glasses of white wine and thirty dumplings, Cui Guoqing lay on the bed and gradually passed out.
In the middle of the night, Cui Guoqing's wife let Cui Guoqing's brother in, and when his brother came in, he rode on Cui Guoqing's body, making all his strength and pinching his hands dead on Cui Guoqing's neck.
Cui Guoqing's wife desperately pressed Cui Guoqing's legs.
After a while, Cui Guoqing was killed!
Subsequently, the two turned the body over and put Cui Guoqing's neck into the gap in the fence in front of the bed, forging the illusion that Cui Guoqing's neck was stuck in the fence after drinking, and eventually died.
Early the next morning, the two began their performance: Cui Guoqing's wife pretended to be grief-stricken by the accidental loss of her husband, and Cui Guoqing's brother was busy preparing for the next life in Zhangluo Village.
Thinking of so many years, the two brothers of the Cui family have relied on each other for their lives, and the elder brother is very concerned about and caring for his brother, so the neighbors in the village have not thought much about it, and the village committee has also successfully issued a death certificate for alcohol poisoning and drinking to death.
After the funeral and the death certificate, the stone in the heart of the two people fell.
However, unexpectedly, the sudden failure of the funeral home's crematorium and the unexpected discovery of the old forensic doctor Zuo Zhijin completely broke the plan of the two.
This case, if we think about it, is still very thought-provoking.
The brothers, who were originally dependent on each other, actually went to the road of no return for murder. The brother who was once loved was actually strangled to death by his own hands.
All of this is because of the dislocation of the family relationship, the husband and wife can not have children, the eldest uncle and the sister-in-law are ambiguous, and have two children, deducing a complete family, is the key to this case.
If the two brothers had made things clear before this happened, although the face would be a little ugly, at least it would not develop into an adult murder.
In this ending, the biggest injuries are two underage children, who have lost all their loved ones overnight. This will leave a shadow in their hearts that will affect them for a lifetime!
Finally, it should be praised for the old forensic doctor Zuo Zhijin! If it weren't for his coincidental discovery and exhaustive pursuit, perhaps this case would have been unconsciously annihilated! Poor Cui Guoqing may never be wronged!
This corresponds to the old saying:
Good and evil will be rewarded in the end
Look up three feet and there are gods
