I carefully searched the surroundings of the mountain pit, and finally, except for the blood-stained stone, nothing was found.

After Yu Yu in the pit put the maggots and meat in the bag, he called Xiao Ran and Zhang Lei over, pointing to a trace on the wall of the pit and said: "These scratch marks I just discovered must have been left by the deceased when he struggled with his hands. This also verifies your statement!"

Half an hour later, the three of them were basically sure that there was nothing good at the scene, so they returned to the team.

At this time, more than ten hours have passed since the body was discovered, and the identity of the deceased has not been confirmed. Zhang Lei and Yu Yu took the stone back to the technical center. They still have a lot of work to do next.

In addition, since the clues obtained are gradually detailed, it can be basically determined that this matter is likely to be a case of intentional homicide of a bad nature. The bureau decided to file a case for investigation and the "5.22" task force was officially established.

Once the nature of the case is determined, the subsequent investigation will naturally reach a higher level.

At noon, Liu Qing and the other two who went to the cross-country event organizing committee to investigate, returned to the team with what they learned.

"Team Xiao, this is the list of all participants during the competition on the 12th and related information."

Liu Qing handed over a thick stack of information pages to Xiao Ran and took out another mobile hard drive, "This is what we copied. At the end of the 14th competition, all participants arrived at the finish line."

"According to our understanding, there were 344 people participating in the off-road competition, of which 4 of them withdrew due to physical reasons in the middle, and these people did not meet the age and appearance of the deceased."

He Liang, who went with him, added: "The event organizers also told us that no accidents occurred during the competition. In addition, on the way back, I passed the information of these participants and found that there were 25 people who met the age of the deceased, but these people were all on the complete journey.

The end of the competition was on the 14th, and we found that the deceased was 8 days away from the 14th, but forensic doctor Yu said that the deceased's death time was about 10 days, or even more than 10 days. If the deceased was a participant, the time was not consistent at all."

"You are right. Judging from the surface of the data, the deceased is obviously not a participant." Xiao Ran looked through the information book and read the names of the participants marked by He Liang in a pen.

He looked up and smiled and said, "But sometimes, the suspects just like to create this illusion and disrupt our case handling direction. Therefore, we cannot be fooled by superficial data!"

Xiao Ran handed the information book to He Liang, "You can contact these 25 people, and also contact the four people who left the competition in the middle. You also need to contact the emergency contacts left by these people to determine the current situation of these 29 people one by one, and pay attention to the people who cannot be contacted."

"yes."

He Liang responded excitedly, repeatedly reminding himself that this was the first time he received a task, and he still received a task in such a major criminal case. There must be no mistake!

Holding the mobile hard drive, I returned to my desk and prepared to watch the video of the event at the end. Before I could sit down, Yu Yu called again.

Xiao Ran answered: "Is there any progress?"

“There is, good news, bad news.”

Yu Yu said: "The good news is that after our analysis and comparison, the stone is the tool for committing crimes that hit the deceased's finger bones. The scattered blood on the stone belongs to the deceased.

Besides the DNA of the deceased, we also extracted the strange DNA from the stone. It is the blood palm print. It is basically certain that the blood palm print was left by the suspect. At that time, the suspect was injured in his hand when he was committing the crime."

"What about the bad news?" Xiao Ran continued.

"The bad news is that although they have made their DNA, there is no matching data in our database. It is not possible to use DNA to directly determine the identity of the deceased and the suspect."

Yu Yu said a little discouraged: "There is another one. The ice axe of the off-road staff did not extract the deceased's DNA. It can be basically believed that this off-road staff is not a tool for the crime that causes the deceased's skull fracture."

"That's right. At least I made the suspect's DNA. Let's see ours next."

Xiao Ran hung up the phone, told He Xiaoli about the latest situation, then turned on the computer, and focused on watching the end video of the off-road competition copied by Liu Qing and the others.

The video is clear, and it seems that it is not only used for recording, but also for re-testing the performance of participants.

The end of the video recording time is very long, starting from 6 am on the 14th and recording until 4 pm.

During these ten hours, the participants arrived one after another. The first place arrived at the scene at 6:50 in the morning, and the last place crossed the finish line at 4:00 in the afternoon.

Moreover, the atmosphere on the scene was a bit utilitarian. When the first place crossed the finish line, the onlookers and support teams cheered and were very lively.

As for those who had poor results and arrived late, there were only two or three staff members of the competition who saw them at the finish line.

There was no cheer, no applause, and no one confirmed his identity. He just signed the record book and left rushily.

Xiao Ran watched the video at the end of the game as fast as possible, counting the participants who crossed the finish line one by one. Except for the four who withdrew from the race in the middle, the remaining 340 people reached the finish line.

Moreover, none of these 340 people and those appearing around touched Xiao Ran’s Eye of Justice, which basically means that there is nothing wrong with these 340 participants.

Could it be that the deceased was one of the four people who withdrew from the competition?

Xiao Ran denied this idea. Liu Qing and the others said that the four people who withdrew from the competition were due to physical reasons and were sent to the hospital by the event party, and there was no objection.

In this way, many people participated in the competition on the 14th. However, the deceased were probably already maggots on the 14th.

This is very strange. Could it be that the deceased is not a participant in the off-road competition?

After watching the end of the game, Xiao Ran tapped his desk with his fingertips and thought for a while.

"Team Xiao, Team Xiao, I've finished contacting you."

At this moment, He Liang walked over with the information book quickly, sat down and said, "I contacted these 29 people, and the emergency contacts of these 29 people. 27 of them confirmed that they were all fine. I also added a friend to open a video, compared it with the photos on the information book, and confirmed it correctly."

Xiao Ran took a bag of milk from the drawer and handed it to He Liang. The little brother's voice was a little hoarse when he called.

He Liang took the milk apart and drank it in one breath, and then said, "However, I didn't contact two of these 29 people."

He Liang opened the information book of the contestants and pointed to a 47-8-year-old man and said, "The first one is this person, named Yan Sanshu, 49 years old, from this city, his mobile phone is not in the service area. I contacted his emergency contact person, that is, his wife.

Yan Sanshu's wife said that Yan Sanshu has been competing outside in the past month and has not been home for more than a month. She said that her husband is a common occurrence if he doesn't go home for one month. Yan Sanshu now seems to be playing off-road somewhere in Qin Province."

After talking about Yan Sanshu's situation, He Liang turned a few more pages and pointed to a information column named Liu Mingcheng and said: "The second person who cannot be contacted is Liu Mingcheng, 51 years old, from Yancheng, and his mobile phone is also not in the service area..."

Looking at the one-inch photo of Liu Mingcheng on the information column, Xiao Ran's eyes tightened and suddenly interrupted He Liang and said, "Are you sure this Liu Mingcheng is a contestant?"

He Liang was stunned for a few seconds and said blankly: "It should be correct that the competition party gave it, right?"

Yes, Xiao Ran doesn't know.

But Xiao Ran was sure that in the video of the 340 contestants who had just watched passed the finish line, he did not see this face crossing the finish line!
Chapter completed!
