In May 1988, a mysterious case occurred in the Mao'an Tea Farm in Baoting County, Hainan Province. Mao'an Town is a small town at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain. The town consists of several natural villages with only a few dozen households. The environment here is quiet, the folk customs are simple, and people are intoxicated with the quiet life of self-consumption in the mountains and countryside.
However, on the 18th, the sudden disappearance of Chen Ada, a villager in Mao'an Town, broke the tranquility here. After lunch, Chen Ah went out to look for the cow, and never came back.
One day, two days... Relatives and friends searched everywhere. Man, not found, lost cow, but came back on its own.
Anxiety and panic envelop the family; Speculation, doubt, pass.
Ten, ten spread hundreds, and for a time Mao'an people had different opinions.
Finally, the horror of fear came true.
On May 21, people found Chen's body in a tea plantation on the side of the road 3 kilometers away from Chen's family.
After the Baoting County Public Security Bureau received the report, the director and the investigators of the criminal police team quickly rushed to the scene. The on-site investigation found that:Chen's body was half-hidden in a tea bush, naked and in a prone position, with his head and upper body hidden in the tea bush, and his buttocks were exposed.
A forensic autopsy revealed multiple mechanical trauma to the deceased's chest, abdomen, and buttocks. Some are open, some are lacerations, and there are several circular wounds that resemble bullet wounds.
The autopsy found that there were 13 large and small wounds in the abdomen of the deceased, and some of the wounds penetrated deep into the abdominal cavity. There is mud and weeds in the creation and abdominal cavity; Multiple intestinal tubes were punctured, and part of the small intestine flowed out of the body from the wounds, including three round-like wounds similar to gunshots, with a diameter of 25 cm, with a ring of black earth attached to the edge of the wound; Some of the wounds on the buttocks are symmetrical, and there is also soil left in the wounds.
On the land around the scene, in addition to the traces of the deceased's climbing, there are also a large number of cow hoof prints. A radial search from the center of the scene revealed the deceased's white shirt, gray trousers, short ** and shoes, scattered on the roadside and in the grass several hundred meters from the house. Shirts, trousers, and ** are all torn, stained with blood, and there are many dripping blood stains along the way...
After the director of the public security bureau and the investigators finished investigating the scene, one mystery after another appeared in their minds. They have been conducting investigations for a long time, and they have solved a lot of cases of all kinds, and they have seen a lot of large and small crime scenes, but this is the first time they have seen such a bizarre scene.
Why is the victim naked?
Why did the victim plunge headlong into the tea bush?
Why are there so many wounds on the victim's body, and there are three different types of trauma?
Why were the victim's shirts, trousers, and ** torn?
*Who is it? What kind of state of mind made him do this?
A series of question marks are like a mess, entangled with every investigator, and also like a series of difficult test questions, testing the intelligence and ability of the investigator.
At the case analysis meeting, the investigators expressed their opinions:
Some made a judgment based on intuition: "This case may be a love killing, ** tore the victim's clothes and pants naked, obviously trying to humiliate the deceased." ”
This case should be a vendetta, according to the analysis of three types of wounds on the deceased's chest and abdomen and more than 10 wound characteristics, ** is likely to use more than two murder weapons, and it reflects ** has a strong hatred and revenge mentality. "The on-site investigators made logical reasoning based on the information provided at the scene.
* It must be a strong person, or two people committed the crime. ”
Judging from the fact that there is no camouflage on the scene, ** is bold and reckless, and it doesn't look like an acquaintance. The older investigator carefully analyzed and reasoned.
The case is confusing and complicated. Summing up everyone's opinions, the commander resolutely issued an order to carry out in-depth investigation work
The first is to protect the scene and request technical support from the Criminal Investigation Department of the Provincial Public Security Department;
the second is to expand the scope of access in the area near the site;
The third is to carry out an in-depth investigation around the activity time of the deceased on the day of his disappearance, the people he came into contact with and his social relations.
Whether it is a love murder or a vendetta, or whether it is a crime committed by one person or two people, the empirical evidence must be based on the traces and physical evidence at the scene; Conclusions can only be drawn after a thorough investigation.
The painstaking and meticulous investigation began.
The investigators traveled day and night, three times to the mountain village, the ** tea farm, to inquire about the deceased's distant relatives and neighbors, and to interview the Muye tea farmers in Mao'an.
Doubts are screened one by one;
Clues, one by one.
To the greatest reluctance of the investigators, no matter how selflessly they worked, they never got the slightest bit of excitement from them, and the more they investigated, the more they proved that the deceased was an honest man. Chen Ah is nearly 50 years old, does not gamble or prostitute, has a harmonious family, harmonious neighbors, raises cattle and farms every day, guards the countryside, and never leaves the land of Mao'an, not even the county seat. Such a simple and simple person who does not cause trouble has no factor of being killed, and there is no reason to be "vendettas" by others. However, the more there is no such factor, the more there is no such reason, the more bizarre the case and the more difficult the mystery will be.
The on-site re-examination of the other front of the investigation work has also been re-inspected by the criminal investigation technicians of the Provincial Public Security Department, and a reconstruction and systematic inspection and appraisal have been carried out, and the results are not optimistic.
However, scientific investigation, logical reasoning and empirical evidence gradually cleared the fog of mysteries and gave the case a glimmer of light.
The criminal investigation technicians first classified and analyzed all kinds of physical evidence information and crime conditions reflected at the scene, so as to find and prove: ** was a series of crazy violent injuries to the victim between the side of the highway and a few hundred meters from the tea bush house, and the murder weapon was a blunt weapon similar to the shape and hardness of a bullet; When the force of violence is small, the zone can only form a wound on the body similar to the piercing of a bullet, and when the force of violence is large, an open wound and a tear wound are formed. The deceased's clothes and pants were torn and stripped naked, as a result of the continuous violence caused by the stabbing and tearing of the murder weapon and the hanging of tree branches.
However, what puzzled the technicians was that at such a large scene, no other people's footprints were found on the ground in the entire range of activities where the deceased was injured, except for the victim's clear barefoot footprints and traces of climbing. Could it be that ** is hanging in the air to commit a crime? Or is there some disguise? Even if there is camouflage, it will leave traces of camouflage!
The technician focused on the footprints of the site.
Although there were no other people's footprints at the scene, the hoof prints of the cow were clearly left, and they were all visible on the route from the roadside to the tea bush. What is the relationship between the cow's hoof prints and the scene and the case?
People expected:Overcome this suspicion, and the mystery will be solved.
At this time, the scout in charge of the interview gave back a piece of information, which attracted the attention of the commander and the technician.
Chen Ah Da disappeared because he went to find the lost buffalo and never returned. According to the villagers of the neighboring village, Chen Ada's buffalo was found by the villagers of the neighboring village after it was lost in the neighboring village, and the cow was tied to a tree, and then asked someone to notify Chen Ada's to collect it. After finding the lost buffalo, Chen took the buffalo home. On the way back, Chen was seen beating a buffalo with a wooden stick as he walked, and this section of the road happened to be near the scene of the crime.
Could it be a buffalo...The detective's eyes were invariably focused on the buffalo.
Detective technicians quickly arrived at the deceased's home and found the lost buffalo. After examining the hoof prints and horns of the buffalo, it was found that there were traces of blood in the grooves between the two horns of the buffalo, so it was decided to cut off the horns and take them to the laboratory of the Provincial Public Security Department for testing.
Technically inspected and identified:The blood stains in the crevices of the horns were completely consistent with the blood type of the deceased; The hoof prints of the cow extracted at the scene are the same as those of the buffalo of the deceased's house.
Therefore, based on a large number of investigation facts and the final technical appraisal, the following conclusions were drawn in this case: the deceased beat the buffalo with a wooden stick while finding the lost buffalo on the way home, and the buffalo, which was enraged by the whipping of the owner, frantically attacked its owner. In a panic, the owner ran to the tea garden on the side of the road, and the buffalo chased all the way, and used its horns to lift the owner, lift it into the air, tumble it, and stab it until he stripped off his clothes and pants. Chen Ada, who was naked, instinctively climbed into the tea bush to avoid at the last moment of his life.
This has led to the rare case of a mindless buffalo "vendetta" against its owner.
