Chapter 672: The Reason the Major Crimes Unit Was Alarmed
Wang Bingkun continued to report on some other details regarding the skeletal remains.Lu Chuan listened carefully to his analysis.
The forensic level of Beizhou City’s Criminal Investigation Team is very high.
Especially in the area of skeleton identification analysis, they have certain expertise.
The analysis on many details is very thorough.
They have determined many details about the crime scene at the time.
This is the only forensic doctor Lu Chuan has found in many criminal investigation teams who is so proficient in skeleton identification.
However, the murder of just one missing person does not seem enough to alarm the provincial major crimes unit.
It should be known that when the provincial major crimes unit is fully deployed, they are dealing with major cases.
And although a murder in the mountains is a major case, it doesn’t qualify as a significant one.
The reason the person was killed in the mountains might be relatively simple.
Either they had a conflict with others, or they had a conflict with those they were with.
In short, as long as we check who this person went into the mountains with, the case may become very clear.
But soon, Lu Chuan understood why the case was directly taken over by the provincial task force.
"After confirming the victim’s identity, we checked the files on the reported disappearance of the victim at the time."
Wang Bingkun operated the projector, showing photos of five other sets of files.
"The person who reported their disappearance was not someone who went into the mountains with the victim."
"It was the victim’s parents who reported the disappearance."
"At that time, the Beiliang Mountain police station received five reports of disappearance in a relatively short period."
"Among them, four missing persons were tourists from outside, and one was a local guide."
"Because Beiliang Mountain tourism has been booming in recent years, local guides also entered into a more organized management."
"All guides leading groups into the mountains would first register at the Beiliang Mountain police station."
"And these five people were all missing at the time."
"Based on the initial judgment at the time, the five people were very likely to have encountered a large beast."
Wang Bingkun continued to flip the projector.
"But unfortunately, the five did not encounter a beast, nor was there infighting or conflict that led to a death."
"This is another set of skeletal remains we found about three meters from where the first victim’s skeleton was discovered."
"After comparing and identifying with clothing, we confirmed that these skeletal remains were of the guide leading the group!"
"Then we expanded the search range and found another set of skeletal remains not far from these two."
"It was also buried, also had suffered beatings before death, and also died of suffocation."
"And after identification, it was found that this set of skeletal remains was also among the five missing people at the time."
After Wang Bingkun reported this, he turned around to look at the members of the major crime unit.
"After discovering three sets of skeletal remains, we organized skilled officers to conduct a large-scale search of the surroundings."
"But unfortunately, aside from some backpacks and scattered climbing equipment, no other skeletal remains were found."
"However, based on the number of equipment found at the scene, and the number of backpacks, although the remains of the other two people weren’t found, the equipment they carried was all left near the spot where the remains were discovered."
"We suspect that the perpetrator took them away, and whether they were harmed or where their remains were buried, is still unclear."
This time, Lu Chuan understood.
Because it involved five missing persons being harmed.
So, the major crimes unit gathered immediately.
"Director Li, my report is over."
Li Donglin nodded, the general situation of the case was now clear to everyone.
"Let’s discuss everyone’s opinions?"
Wang Song first looked at Wang Bingkun: "Did these people carry a lot of cash when they went missing at the time?"
Wang Bingkun shook his head: "After the incident was discovered, we contacted the victims’ families at the first opportunity."
"The guide only carried around 500 yuan in cash, and the other people were students from outside."
"They didn’t carry much cash, and we checked these people’s bank transfer records."
"During their disappearance, there were no large transfers."
Wang Song fully understood Wang Bingkun’s meaning and they had already conducted some preliminary investigations.
The disappearance of these people was likely not due to money.
After listening to Wang Bingkun’s report, Wang Song frowned slightly: "Not for money? Why did the killer murder five people?"
"And all five were young, with good physical fitness, suggesting that the killer was likely not alone."
"By the way, these five people, that’s three men and two women, right?"
"Yes, three men and two women, the guide was a male, two male college students, and two female college students."
"At the location where the skeletal remains were found, all three were male bones."
All male skeletal remains?
Did they take the two female college students and run away?
"Driven by lust?"
Wang Bingkun nodded seriously: "While reporting to the provincial office, we also made some preliminary judgments and analyses here."
"Among the five missing people, although only three skeletons were found, based on current circumstances, it is likely that the remaining two females may have also been harmed."
"We investigated the relationships among the five missing people, excluding the guide, the two male and female college students were in romantic relationships."
"The four came in June this year before graduating from college, for a trip."
"The two female college students were of relatively good appearance, and we preliminarily suspect that they might have encountered another group while hiking in the mountains."
"The other party, driven by lust, killed the three males."
"Then took away the two female college students."
The members of the major crime unit present nodded slightly after hearing this.
This judgment by the Beizhou City’s Criminal Investigation Team seems reasonable.
Song Mingguang then asked: "Captain Wang, I heard you mention just now that all the teams entering the mountains in recent years have registered with the Beiliang Mountain police station."
"After the incident, did you check other teams that entered the mountains at the same time as the missing group?"
"Especially those teams consisting of males, or if any of those people have a criminal record?"
Regarding this question...
Wang Bingkun shook his head.
"We haven’t investigated or followed up on these leads yet."
This is quite understandable because from discovering the case until now, the Beizhou City’s administrative team has already done a lot of work.
Processing skeletal remains and determining the surrounding conditions have already taken three days.
Adding the confirmation of skeletal identities, contacting the victims’ families, etc., these processes have taken four or five days.
Song Mingguang turned his head to look at Li Donglin.
"Director Li, from the current situation, the perpetrator was definitely not acting alone, so I suggest checking those teams that entered the mountains during the same period."
