"The Burning Hummingbird":A detailed explanation of the pervert case years ago.
If you wake up, you find yourself traveling back in time to more than 40 years ago and becoming a small policeman in charge of detecting **. What's even more troublesome is that your father-in-law, this picky and serious person, has become your partner!
You have all sorts of bizarre cases in front of you, and you don't have the help of modern technology such as computers, mobile phones, DNA, surveillance cameras, etc., ......How would you respond to such a challenge?
This is the opening scene of forensic doctor Qin Ming's new book "The Burning Hummingbird", which is full of drama. Forensic Qin Ming's series of works has made many suspense lovers feel the unique charm of the forensic profession, and Zhang Ruoyun's version of the online drama has also transformed the forensic profession from a mysterious and unpopular profession to one of the most popular professions that the post-00s want to try.
On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the birth of the forensic Qin Ming series, the new book "The Burning Hummingbird" is about to meet readers. Judging by the title, this book is different from previous series, and it is full of anticipation.
Hummingbird takes place in 1976, a story that dates back nearly half a century. You wonder, would such a story be good? Let's start with a small case in the book and get a feel for the unique style of Hummingbird.
In the 70s, being a worker was a very proud thing. Many young people choose to work in factories, while a small number choose public security and law enforcement agencies.
Some large factories even have tens of thousands of people, and not only provide canteens and dormitories, but also kindergartens, primary schools, middle schools, hospitals and other facilities, which are comparable in size to a small town.
In a dynamic chemical plant, people will always have all kinds of desires, and once these desires get out of control, it will lead to some tragedy. This case is a typical example: a young female worker named Li Feng was ** in the single dormitory of the factory.
It was Li Feng's good sister who reported the crime, and she would wake up Li Feng every morning to go to work together. But this morning, when she came to the door of Li Feng's dormitory, she found that the door was open, and no one responded to the call, which made her feel that something was wrong.
Li Feng lives in probably the most humble tube building. When she pushed the door in, she only heard a faint cry, but as far as her eyes could see, Li Feng's hands were ** on the edge of the bed, her lower body was naked, and she still had a towel stuffed in her mouth.
The female worker felt a chill, she knew that something was wrong. It turned out that Li Feng worked overtime in the workshop alone last night and didn't return to the dormitory until more than eleven o'clock in the evening. She habitually closed the door with her backhand and prepared to pull the light, but the light did not come on.
It is common for the electricity to be unstable, she thought that the dormitory was out again, so she didn't care, and planned to go to the desk drawer in the dark to get a flashlight. As she passed by the bed, the moonlight shone through the cracks in the curtains, and she realized that there was a dark shadow hidden on the bed.
Before she could scream, the shadow jumped up, grabbed her neck, and covered her mouth.
On a dark night, in the process of looking for a flashlight, Li Feng suddenly felt a chill on her waist, as if something sharp was against her waist. Her heart was instantly filled with fear, unable to call for help or struggle, only to cry incessantly.
The dark shadow then tied her hands tightly to the edge of the bed with the rope that tied the magazines in her dorm room, then gagged her mouth with her face towel, and finally performed ** on her, and left through the gate.
The rope was tied so tightly that Li Feng struggled all night and couldn't untie it.
This is a face towel because of its delicate and soft texture, which allows users to enjoy a comfortable experience when using it. However, for Li Feng, this towel put her in a difficult situation.
While she was using this towel to wash her face, she suddenly got gagged and couldn't call for help. It wasn't until dawn that the little sister came to the door and let her be saved. After the police at the police station questioned Li Feng, they settled her in the dormitory next door.
A few good little sisters came, surrounding Li Feng and comforting me with a word, Li Feng's tears that were about to dry up couldn't help but fall, everyone hated the same enemy, and they couldn't wait to grab the black shadow man and chop it thousands of times.
That's for later. Let's first turn the camera to the two police detectives in charge of this case, who are also the two protagonists in "Hummingbird". Gu Hongxing, this is a native of the 70s.
He originally planned to be an honorable worker, but because of his father, he still embarked on the road of a policeman. Thin, timid, and inferior, he is easy to be nervous when he speaks in front of others, and he is a complete "social fear" today.
Feng Kai is the "traverser" we mentioned at the beginning. In fact, he is Gu Hongxing's future son-in-law Tao Liang, who also used to be a criminal policeman in 2022, but he is a little so-so, arrogant, and not so reliable.
In order to save his job and save his daughter-in-law, Tao Liang looked at the crime file all night, and somehow fainted in front of him, but as soon as he woke up, he came to this strange era, and became this young man named Feng Kai, and was called big brother by his father-in-law, who was more than 40 years younger.
Suddenly! How embarrassing is this! Or ......Let's refer to it as brother! Look, Feng Kai (parentheses: that is, Tao Liang) is a self-cooked "social cow".
The Burning Hummingbird: The challenges and run-in of new and old police partners Feng Kai, a "social cow" living in 2022, met Gu Hongxing, a "social terrorist" in 1976, these two seemingly completely different police partners, but they continue to challenge and run in in the process of handling cases.
Although Feng Kai has rich experience in handling cases and modern ideas, he underestimated the difficulty and challenges of Gu Hongxing's new career. Their cooperation not only tested each other's ability and wisdom, but also showed us the differences and commonalities between the police professions in the context of the two eras.
For the police of any era, the ** case is a case of righteous indignation. Feng Kai was no exception, and he wanted to know more about the details of Li Feng's case. However, Gu Hongxing stopped him and reminded him that asking him again would be tantamount to sprinkling salt on Li Feng's wounds.
Although the police at the police station had asked and made a record before, Feng Kai was still unwilling. They looked through the transcript and got a general idea of what had happened. The dormitory had been dark, and Li Feng didn't see the criminal's appearance, or even hear him speak or make any sound.
This makes people wonder, is it a deaf and mute person who committed the crime? However, even deaf people are unlikely to be completely silent. It is speculated that the criminals deliberately remained silent, probably to avoid revealing their identities.
Feng Kai relied on his previous experience to judge that this was an acquaintance committing a crime. He loudly announced to Gu Hongxing that the sheets were going to be taken away, and he already had a clue. Gu Hongxing's specialty is trace inspection, and he also knows the importance of this situation.
At the scene, the trace inspection was the first to arrive, and their task was to extract and fix all the suspicious trace physical evidence, drawing a safe range for the police officers who entered the scene later.
In this process, forensic doctors and investigators need to be careful not to inadvertently destroy clues at the scene. Lin Tao is a trace inspector in the Qin Ming series**, and the tools he uses include a recorder to detect traces of occult blood, a smoker to extract footprints, as well as a horseshoe mirror, electrostatic film, and a powder ball.
Many cool scenes in the TV series are when trace detection tools come into play.
In "Forensic Season", the multi-band light source is an advanced technology, and the modern Feng Kai has witnessed the power of police techniques such as forensic trace examination. At the first scene of the ** case, the body fluids of the ** criminal may have been left on the sheets, and the DNA of the ** criminal was extracted and compared with the suspect, Feng Kai was full of confidence in solving the case.
However, Gu Hongxing was puzzled by this, he thought that a bed sheet was not a lot of cloth, and the victim might not agree to take it. This surprised Feng Kai, because in the 70s, the fabric was based on the ticket, and many people were willing to buy good cloth to make bed sheets when they got married, and it was unreasonable to take away other people's bed sheets without a reasonable reason.
When I was a child, I probably had these sheets at home, even though they were very precious back then. But Feng Kai couldn't say these truths. Don't forget, this is in the 70s, an era when modern crime-solving technology is just emerging, there are no cool modern crime-solving tools, and DNA is just a mysterious, distant, and not widely used concept.
If you say it, who will understand? Feng Kai's idea of solving the case is too far ahead of its time in this era, and it doesn't work at all! That's ......Could it be that you can't take that muddy ball?
The methods of the 70s worked well in the 70s. Feng Kai was still surprised, Gu Hongxing had already begun to act. The most important thing for trace inspection experts is the path in and out of the site.
Every time you enter and exit, as long as there is contact, there must be traces. According to Li Feng, the Shadow Man walked through the gate when he left, but she didn't know how he got in. When she entered, she didn't notice anything unusual about it.
Gu Hongxing first checked the door lock, the door lock was not broken, could it be that the black shadow man had the key? But no, Gu Hongxing tried it, this door lock is very simple, even if a piece of cardboard is inserted into the crack of the door, it can be easily opened.
Even if you don't have a key, you can open the door without noticing. And the material of the door lock and door was also very rough, at least under the technical conditions of that era, it was impossible to extract fingerprints.
So where else can traces of the Black Shadow Man be extracted? Gu Hongxing was thinking. Feng Kai also returned to normal. He carefully put on his gloves and packed the sheets.
While there is no DNA for this step, there may be some clues on this sheet. In short, be prepared in case it will be useful later. Gu Hongxing flipped through the transcript again.
That's right! Li Feng once said that when she went home, the lights were not on. "Was there really a power outage in the dormitory building last night? The police officer shook his head. Gu Hongxing was taken aback, he didn't expect him to ask the key so quickly.
He looked at the incandescent light bulb on the roof: "Could it be that the filament is broken?" ”
Twisting a light bulb used to be an essential skill in everyday life. The light bulb hung high, but there was no ladder to climb, Gu Hongxing found a stool from under the desk, and stepped on it just enough to reach the light bulb.
He looked closely and found that the tungsten filament was not broken, and he had a hunch in his heart. So, he put on white gauze gloves, carefully avoided the main part, turned the bulb, and suddenly the light came on again.
It turned out that it was just the bulb that was unscrewed. After the Shadow Man entered the room, he unscrewed the light bulb in advance in order not to expose himself, so it is likely that his fingerprints were left on the light bulb.
Gu Hongxing's tense face finally showed a smile. "
This case may seem simple, but every detail challenges our conventional thinking. In the '70s, many of the methods we took for granted seemed to work as unworkable.
However, in the eyes of those of that era, many cases that we thought were dead-ended did have a turning point. For example, our first instinct when we look at our identity may be to look at an ID card, but do you know when the first generation of ID cards appeared?
The answer is 1984! Until then, the only way to prove a person's identity is to rely on the household registration book and the letter of introduction from the employer. It is even more difficult to find the ** of the nameless corpse.
For example, in 1976, a fellow villager noticed a foul smell coming from a field near his home, and when he checked it, he found that the wellhead stone of the nearby abandoned machine well had been lifted by someone, revealing the soles of a pair of feet.
The fellow was so frightened that he crawled to the police, so he summoned Feng Kai and Gu Hongxing to deal with it.
The well was used to draw groundwater, and the body was stuck upside down in the well, head down, lower body soaked in water, legs swaying in the air. Although the well was very deep, the caliber was not large, so the police hung the rope sleeve down the well, lassoed the ankle of the corpse, and slowly fished out the corpse.
The identity of the deceased could no longer be confirmed, and his face was highly corrupted, and there were no clues such as ID cards and mobile phones. But some clues may be found in his clothing. His coat is emblazoned with the words Power Plant, where it is possible to find clues.
But the power plant is a large plant with a large population, and it is not easy to reduce the scope. He was dressed in gray polyester trousers, white cloth shoes with blue background, and a white vest that had been dyed dark green by the corpse.
Although his clothes were similar to those of other pedestrians in the 70s, Gu Hongxing noticed that something was wrong, and he guessed that there might be some mystery hidden in these clothing lists.
Regarding this clue, if you have an elder in your family who lived in the 70s, you can ask them and they may know something. In addition, there are ** people who vent their personal anger in every era, and there were bad guys in the 70s who cut people with blades.
They stared specifically at the girl in Bragi, the pronunciation of the Russian dress.
The girls love to wear beautiful bragi and look forward to showing off their style on the streets. However, there are always some accidents in life, such as the bicycle that suddenly appeared and the knife that people waved in their hands.
If this cuts the artery, it will really make people sweat, and it may even leave an indelible scar. Now, there is surveillance on the road, and once something like this happens, you can immediately call up the video to see clearly what the ** looks like, where it came from and where it went.
But in the 70s, it was all a luxury, there were no cameras, and even cameras were a rarity. At that time, if the camera that shot the scene was blurry because of the fear of hand tremor, the cost of wasting film was not small.
In this case, how to catch the "blade man"? Lao Qin gave the answer in his unique way in "The Burning Hummingbird". Have you already understood: "The Burning Hummingbird" is very different from Lao Qin's previous works.
The Burning Hummingbird depicts a fascinating suspenseful story that took place in that real, rustic and charismatic era. On the night we received the first draft of Hummingbird, we were almost all so captivated that we couldn't help ourselves.
This new, distant, and mysterious world contains a power that cannot be expressed in words, but its simplicity touches our hearts deeply.
The Burning Hummingbird is a work completed by forensic doctor Qin Ming ten years after his "debut". Qin Ming said that he was a person who was afraid to try new things, and it was not until ten years ago that he began to create the first forensic Qin Ming series** "Corpse Whisperer", and there was a huge change in his life.
Lao Qin wrote a letter to talk about his heart, looking back on the bits and pieces of his father and comrades-in-arms. Ten years have passed since the publication of "The Corpse Whisperer". This time, Lao Qin decided to bring his father's story to the table.
His father has been a police officer for 36 years and has been engaged in trace examination. After his retirement, he compiled hundreds of his case notes and wrote a 90,000-word memoir.
Lao Qin read for several nights in a row, and he saw another side of his father. He was glad to see his father crack an old case, and sad to see his father's reluctance to take off his police uniform before retirement.
He found that his father also had a prosperous time and had the bitterness of overcoming thorns and thorns. In Lao Qin's impression, those predecessors were all heroes who were swords and galloped across the field.
But now, their bodies are clumsy, and their hair is gray. Some of them have just recovered from serious illnesses, some have bad hearts, and some have even lost all their teeth. Although they still talk about the case of the year, they still talk about it, but the booze of the past has become a drink today, and the arrogance of the past has become the caution of the present.
They were once heroic, but now they are heroes. This made Lao Qin feel deeply shocked. What were they like when they were younger? Does anyone still remember their honors and achievements?
And what makes them willing to "dedicate their youth to their children and grandchildren, and dedicate their children and grandchildren to their lives"?
The Burning Hummingbird is beautifully illustrated, full of stories that have been forgotten by time but contain great power. These stories are real treasures that inspire people to move forward.
Therefore, Lao Qin decided to create a series of moving works with the theme of hummingbirds.
Why was it named"Hummingbirds"？Legend has it that in search of light, hummingbirds, once trapped in deep darkness, flew to the sky with all their might, bringing a burning flame to the earth.
Generations of explorers, like hummingbirds, burn themselves and explore the future for the sake of justice and truth. The road in the dark is full of challenges. It is because of them that we are able to move forward.
This hummingbird that travels through time and space has become the symbol of this series.
The Burning Hummingbird series**Souvenir: Book Tickets. **A series of three books, telling the story of two generations, dozens of cases, spanning the 70s, 80s and 90s.
The plot of each book is independent, but it is related to each other as a whole. The modern Feng Kai and the past Gu Hongxing will investigate and grow together in three time and space. Readers will see that Gu Hongxing's generation of old policemen blazed a trail in the difficult and difficult era, while Feng Kai's generation of policemen explored themselves in the era of impetuousness and confusion.
This is the story of The Burning Hummingbird. At present, the hummingbird has set off and is looking forward to meeting you in the summer. Manuscript: Xiao Wu; Editor: Baobao; Quality inspection: sky; Typesetting: Lelouch.
