Chapter 325: Three Years as Village Chief, 100,000 Taels of Gold

This is Song Lingxuan's first time to attend a case analysis meeting.

As a policewoman of the Second Detective Squad, Song Lingxuan is not just a pretty vase.

Song Lingxuan is also a serious graduate of the police academy, and a top student.

She studied trace identification.

She joined the Second Detective Squad a year earlier than Chen Yan, but she didn't meet Chen Yan because she went to the Liancheng Detective Squad and the Provincial Detective Brigade to rehearse the Spring Voice program last Spring Festival.

When she came back, Chen Yan had already become famous, and was even preempted by the little royal sister.

Otherwise, Chen Yan might not know who he is dating now.

So, this Spring Festival, Song Lingxuan went out for a few days and came back.

And she swore that she would never rehearse the program in the future.

Song Lingxuan's professional knowledge has also been outstanding in the recent cases.

It is said that when Song Lingxuan joined the job, she was able to be directly recruited and specially recruited.

It was because her father was a leader that she did not accept the special recruitment, but chose to intern, inspect and then become a regular employee.

"Captain Chen, this ratio... should be the golden ratio, which is more commonly used in art and architecture."

"How did you know?"

"I studied art before, and my teacher told us about it when I was painting."

Chen Yan really didn't expect that among so many people, Song Lingxuan was the one who saw the meaning behind these data.

Looking back at the photo, Chen Yan continued to analyze: "What Xiao Song said is right."

"It's the golden ratio."

"The so-called golden ratio means that the length comparison of two line segments in a certain space is 1.618."

"The golden ratio can be understood as an ultimate pursuit of beauty."

"Many sculptures, buildings, paintings, etc. in history are close to this ratio in space."

"Not only that, for example, the human body, with the navel as the boundary, the ratio of the upper and lower body length is around 5 to 8, and the figure is relatively good-looking."

"And this is the golden ratio."

"Look at the distribution of Zhang Guicai's body on the wall."

"Whether it is up and down, or left and right, the position of the body is in the golden ratio of the wall."

"And after the body was dismembered, the upper and lower ratio of the whole body is also in the golden ratio."

"And the placement of the arms and thighs on the wall is strictly nailed to the wall according to this ratio."

"So, this is why when we first see the body on the wall, we will have a strange and terrifying beauty."

"It's not that we have a problem, but the murderer deliberately uses the golden ratio to create a feeling."

Then the question is,

"Who has such a unique hobby that after killing someone, he would nail the body to the wall according to the golden ratio?"

"Wang Gang, with Ergong Village as the center, radiate all the surrounding construction teams, and focus on checking the soft decoration team."

"Check which people have had contact with Zhang Guicai, I want all the information of these teams."

Why focus on the soft decoration team?

Because there are actually only two types of people who know the golden ratio best.

The first is painters.

Painters paint strangely, especially painters with their own ideas, they will subconsciously avoid the golden ratio.

It's not that they don't use it at all, but they avoid a popular aesthetic.

The second is architecture.

Architects, a qualified and smart architect, will consider using the golden ratio or symmetrical ratio to design buildings in every detail.

Because this can cater to the aesthetics of most people.

Among the people who are engaged in architecture, there is a kind of decoration designer.

With Zhang Guicai's experience, it is unlikely that he will deal with a real architectural designer.

But the possibility of contacting a decoration designer is relatively high.

Because, according to the person who reported the fire in the village, Zhang Guicai's house, which caught fire, had just been renovated for less than half a year.

Just as Zhang Chaoyang and Wang Gang were investigating separately, the autopsy results came out.

Dissection room.

Wang Meng, the autopsy officer of the second detective team, was reporting to Chen Yan.

"The cause of death was confirmed to be excessive blood loss and shock death."

"At the same time, the deceased's retina was congested, the gums in the mouth were bleeding, and the tongue had signs of damage."

"The deceased's wrists and ankles were nailed to the front before the fire, so they were not completely burned."

"You can find marks of strangulation on them."

"We found a small amount of nylon plastic charred material in the deceased's mouth."

"Combined with the situation at the scene, comprehensive analysis shows that the deceased had been restricted before his death. The deceased was tied to a chair or other objects by the murderer, and then the other party's mouth was blocked."

"The deceased was dismembered while he was conscious."

"The victim suffered from severe pain, which led to brain congestion, gum damage, and tongue bitten."

After reading the autopsy report, Chen Yan frowned.

The murderer not only dismembered the body of the deceased, but also abused the victim before his death.

Without anesthesia, he cut off the joints of the limbs, including the hip joints...

How much hatred did the murderer have with Zhang Guicai?

After leaving the autopsy room, Chen Yan did not go home.

This case is a bit tricky.

Although Chen Yan discovered some professional characteristics of the murderer and even locked down the scope of his profession.

However, the murderer did not leave any clues at the scene.

This means that even if Chen Yan finds the murderer, it will be difficult to directly convict him.

One night, Chen Yan was studying the photos taken at the crime scene, hoping to find clues.

the next day.

The first person to report back the news was Wang Gang.

"Captain, we checked the decoration team that has worked in Ergong Village in recent years."

"There are three teams in total."

Ergong Village is located in the suburbs of Liancheng, at the junction of urban and rural areas.

Many villagers live by building self-built houses and renting them out.

“Therefore, Ergong Village has seen great demand for decoration in recent years.”

Taking the information handed over by Wang Gang, Chen Yan rubbed his sour eyes: "Since the demand for decoration is huge, why are there only three decoration teams?"

"Precisely because the demand for decoration is high, the competition pressure for decoration in Ergong Village is very high."

"In the past few years, there were many small decoration teams who lowered prices with each other and competed maliciously."

“The decoration materials used were inferior and corners were cut during the work.”

"Seven years ago, when Zhang Guicai was the village chief, he took the lead and held a tender."

"The decoration standards in the village were unified and three decoration teams were bid for."

"All villagers will choose from these three teams for decoration."

"In the past few years, villagers here in Ergong Village have basically had a monopoly on house decoration."

"However, the prices quoted by these three teams are similar and lower than those in the outside market."

"No one will cause trouble."

"This incident was one of the few good things Zhang Guicai did when he was the village chief."

Three decoration companies?

Chen Yan looked through the materials in his hand carefully.

Zhang Guicai...

Three years ago, Zhang Guicai was dismissed from his post after being reported by the village for misappropriating collective funds.

Moreover, judging from what we know so far, when Zhang Guicai was the village chief, he took advantage of the collective.

Just like the house that caught fire yesterday.

It is said that that place was originally a forest.

There are mountains behind and water in front.

The villagers say it is the place with the best feng shui in Ergong Village.

As a result, Zhang Guicai took over and built a self-built house.

Such a person would do good things for the benefit of the villagers?

I don’t believe Chen Yan.

Three years as a small village chief, one hundred thousand taels of gold.

Although the actual situation is not as exaggerated as the limerick says, it is by no means groundless.
