Chapter 935 Making up a story

Jiang Yuan followed the arrest team and squatted in a teahouse on the main street of Pushui Town. Through the open double-leaf wooden door, he observed the fruit shop opposite.

The fruit shop opened by the suspect Xu De is semi-open. The location near the door is in a stall-style facing customers on the street, but when you walk into the store, it is like a small supermarket. There are also refrigerated cabinets along the wall, which hold some perishable and expensive fruits.

The special police officer in charge of the arrest whispered, "The fruit shop is about 20 to 30 square meters in size, and there is a closed back door that leads to the stairwell at the back, which can lead to the shop upstairs and the back street. I suggest that when we take action, we can assign someone to guard this door. If we block the front and back, the suspect will have no way to escape."

"Okay." Lang Heng was also sitting in the teahouse. As the captain of the criminal police detachment, he didn't need to go to the scene of the arrest. The arrest process of this kind of case was not very good. In ten cases, there might not be one case of resistance. Most of those who dared to resist ran away, and almost no one could run away successfully. If we use a little logic, the successful escape in the movie should also be set up in advance.

However, Jiang Yuan wanted to come and see the scene this time, so Lang Heng accompanied Jiang Yuan more.

Therefore, the team that arrested Xu De was upgraded from the criminal police of the criminal police detachment to special police. The difference in force here is the difference in force between a sports student and an ordinary male high school student.

"Jiang Yuan, what do you think? Arrest him?" Lang Heng's respect for Jiang Yuan had reached a high point at this time. In fact, he didn't need to ask Jiang Yuan at all. He should be the absolute commander on the scene.

Jiang Yuan came here today to observe the suspect Xu De. He did not bring much emotional intelligence with him. He just said, "If the arrest is successful, it would be best to conduct a surprise interrogation on the spot to ask about the murderer's method of killing and whether there is a murder weapon."

This was the main reason why Jiang Yuan came here. The victim's body was severely decomposed, and many bones had fallen into the fish pond. With only the highly decomposed bones left, even Jiang Yuan could not determine the cause of death. And this was after Jiang Yuan activated the skill +1, and Forensic Anthropology temporarily became LV4.

If it is an archaeological site of ancient humans, the cause of death analysis can only end at this stage. In criminal cases, there is still one chance, which is to obtain it from eyewitnesses or criminals.

In addition, Jiang Yuan also wanted to observe Xu De's daily state. Killing is a very difficult thing. As a murderer, when adrenaline explodes, he will always use his superior abilities to kill people. This is a subconscious judgment.

For example, for someone who is good at using his left hand, it is actually difficult for him to use his right hand to kill someone. Even if he can do it, the forensic doctor can make a certain degree of judgment by trying to cut the wound, etc.

Similarly, people who are good at using knives or who often use knives will often choose to kill people with knives instead of strangling them, and their knife movements will be relatively clean and neat. Women always prefer to use poison to kill people, which is also a reflection of their weaker ability to directly kill people.

Jiang Yuan mainly observed how Xu De used the tools, especially the movements of bundling the boxes.

In theory, it is easy to leave marks on bones when killing someone with a knife. This is because several directly fatal parts of a person are attached and protected by bones. Chopping the head with a knife will leave marks, and stabbing the heart will easily cause the blade to get stuck in the ribs. It is relatively easier to hit the abdomen, but it is not easy to achieve an instant death state, so it is easy to cause confrontation and defensive injuries.

That is to say, the neck has less protection, but if you cut it with a knife, it is easy to leave marks on the axis vertebra or cervical vertebra.

Now the remains of the deceased have been basically recovered, except for the scattered hyoid bone and several finger bones, and no knife marks have been found. Based on his experience, Jiang Yuan considered the most likely possibility to be mechanical asphyxiation, that is, strangulation or death.

There were no scars on Xu De's hands and wrists, so the probability of strangulation was relatively low.

However, Jiang Yuan was still guessing how he really died. There were so many strange ways for people to die, and the killing process was not always as smooth as planned. Therefore, Jiang Yuan came to the arrest scene in person, wanting to see the suspect Xu De's final living condition.

In this case, there is a high probability that he is the murderer.

Not only was it a financial dispute, but on the day of the incident, Xu De's cell phone signal also showed that he was staying near the entrance and exit of the highway. In addition, the town's surveillance video showed that he was also leaving the town to the west... All these clues combined were enough to bring him back for a thorough investigation.

"If you are ready, just catch him when the time comes." Lang Heng said it in a relaxed tone, without making it sound like he was giving any orders.

The SWAT captain who led the team also nodded, stood a little further away, and gave orders in a low voice.

Jiang Yuan and detachment leader Lang Heng sat up straighter.

A female police officer and a 1.9-meter-tall sturdy special police officer squeezed into the fruit shop together.

"Take whatever you want. You can try them." Xu De was packing food for the customers and raised his head and shouted.

The female police officer pretended to be selecting fruits and wandered around the door of the fruit shop. The male police officer pretended to be bored and walked into the shop. He stood at the back door and looked down at the fruits next to him.

The male policeman was a strong man among the special police, with a pure physique for double doors. He stood in front of the back door, blocking the entire door.

The two men took their positions, and the SWAT captain in charge of command felt relieved. He picked up the intercom and shouted, "Team Two, go ahead. Team Three, get ready."

The second team is also a duo, consisting of two men with thick knuckles, who will be responsible for the main capture work in the future.

The two men from the second team stood directly in front of Xu De, and one of them asked, "Boss, how much is a box of apples?"

Seeing that business was coming, Xu De smiled and said, "It depends on what kind you want. A box of ten kilograms can be sold at a lower price. There are three and a half yuan, five yuan, six yuan, and nine yuan..."

The SWAT captain just watched the second team arrive, and then he couldn't wait to use the intercom to say: "Team three, team three... prepare for action, five, four..."

Team three consisted of eight special police officers, four of whom crossed the street from the opposite side, and the other four walked from the front and back of the street, completely blocking the suspect's escape route.

The shortage of police force in the country is relative to catching petty thieves and conducting investigations. When faced with a homicide case, the concentrated police force will not give the suspect any room to escape.

Especially in recent years, as gun control has become more stringent, squeeze-style arrests have placed extremely high demands on the suspect's escape. Basically, they will be physically exhausted in bed and will also be physically exhausted when escaping.

"Three, two, one... move!"

The SWAT captain shouted the word "action", and two strong men from the second team came one in front and one behind, one grabbing Xu De's arm and the other tripping him, and without saying a word, they knocked Xu De to the ground.

Seeing this, only two of the special police officers from Team 3 stepped forward to help. The rest stood to the sides and revealed their identities to the onlookers: "Police!"

Passersby felt lucky and immediately took out their cell phones to record the video: "What a crime!"

The detectives in the teahouse packed up and went out to maintain discipline.

The SWAT team's special police officers took Xu De back to the car without saying a word.

The Changle City Police Department brought a professional prison van. Inside the van, the interrogator who had been waiting for a long time asked Xu De under the camera: "Do you know why we arrested you?"

Xu De looked around and said nothing.

The interrogating police officer asked a few more questions, his tone became increasingly harsh, and the pressure was instantly peaked.

Xu De's body was shaking, but he didn't say a word.

Seeing this, the interrogator already had an idea in his mind. If Xu De was not the murderer, he would not be like this. It would be normal for him to be anxious and ask for clarification, or to yell "I know XXX".

The interrogating policeman then skipped the routine and asked sternly: "Xu De, let me ask you, do you remember what you used to kill Cai Tingxun?"

Xu De's face flushed red, and he said in a very low voice: "I didn't kill him!"

"Speak louder." said the interrogating police officer.

"I didn't kill him!" Xu De's voice was a little louder: "He fell into the fish pond by himself!"

"How could Cai Tingxun fall into the fish pond when he was fine?"

"We were talking by the fish pond, and the grass was slippery, so he fell in. It was an accident!" Xu De started talking, and his body stopped shaking.

The interrogating police officer didn't quite believe Xu De's answer, but hesitated for a moment. Considering that the first thing to ask was the murder weapon, he didn't ask further and instead asked: "He fell into the fish pond. Did you save him? Did you shout for help?"

"I... I was confused at the time, and he was stuck in the mud. I can't swim, so there was no way I could save him..." Xu De spoke a little louder. From the perspective of interrogation, it can be said that he had made certain psychological preparations.

In other words, Xu De had already thought about the lie.

However, it was easy to expose his lies. Any police officer who had worked three days would not believe that the creditor accidentally fell into a fish pond and died in front of the deadbeat.

But the interrogating police were not in a hurry to expose him, but just asked for further details.

As long as the suspect is willing to talk and make up a story, the interrogating police officer will be willing to listen.

Looking back, you can not only ask the suspect to repeat the story, but also ask him to explain it. Those who make up lies will eventually be exposed.
