Chapter 595 Handover

At dawn, the playground of Fushi Experimental Middle School was blocked by bright yellow cordons, and dozens of police officers cooperated with the technical staff of the identification department to conduct on-site inspections.

A two-meter-deep pit was dug near the edge of the playground near the long jump sand.

A skeleton was lying in the middle.

Scattered skin and flesh were attached to the skeleton, and white maggots roamed freely.

A strong stench filled everyone's nose.

Several newly appointed police officers were already helping Shan Kang vomit.

Jiang Yang had a strong sense of smell and couldn't stand it when he approached.

Fortunately, he had a strong ability to adjust himself. He took the mask handed over by Wang Dahai and put it on, and he felt much better immediately.

Yu Jing was not so lucky. He looked pale through a thin medical mask, and he was really smoked.

At this time, the forensic doctor had made a preliminary judgment.

"The deceased is a female, and the epiphyseal line is not completely closed. The age is estimated to be between 17 and 18 years old. The body is highly decomposed, and the time of death is estimated to be six years ago. DNA testing will take some time, but the deceased is wearing the uniform of the Experimental Middle School and has a nameplate on her chest. She is most likely a student of the Experimental Middle School."

"You can notify the school and family members first and let them identify her."

"The fatal injury is uncertain. From the degree of bone damage, no obvious external injuries can be identified. It may be internal organ damage or excessive blood loss."

The forensic doctor took off his medical gloves and motioned Jiang Yang to come closer.

"The deceased's hand bones and ankles have traces of scratches from sharp objects. But judging from the traces, they don't look like wounds that can cause death. There is a scratch the size of a fingernail on the front of the deceased's skull. Judging from the wound, it should be a scar left when he was a child. It can be used as one of the bases for determining the identity of the deceased."

The forensic doctor pointed to his cheekbone.

After thanking the forensic doctor, the three of them didn't say much and got down to business.

Wang Dahai explained the key points: "Last month, we received a joint report from 50 parents of Fuzhou Experimental Middle School, claiming that the construction of the school playground was shoddy. The purchased materials were inferior and there was suspicion of misappropriation of public funds."

"After intervening in the investigation, we found that in the five years since the completion of the construction of the school playground, a total of 124 students have been injured by falling on the plastic track of the playground."

"The most serious student had a ruptured tendon and a comminuted fracture of the calf bone. Seven steel bars were placed in the leg, and he could not run as fast as ordinary people."

"The joint report was also initiated by the parents of this student."

As he said, Wang Dahai gestured to the side. The student's parent representative, Ge Hongliang, was standing under the shade of the tree with a frown on his face.

"What about the school? What's its attitude?"

Jiang Yang nodded to Ge Hongliang from a distance as a greeting.

"The school leaders meant that when a student was injured for the first time, they had contacted the team responsible for the construction that year. However, the other party did not want to take responsibility and kept shirking responsibility."

"The school also asked the superiors for instructions, but never received a satisfactory response. The city required the school to settle privately with the construction team, and the construction party also promised to give some financial compensation to the seriously injured students. But the parents of the students disagreed, and the school leaders also felt it was inappropriate. There are too many students affected, and paying some money will not solve the problem at all."

"And the plastic track that does not meet the quality standards must be demolished and rebuilt. Who will bear the cost of this part?"

Wang Dahai took a deep breath and quickened his speech: "In short, the final result is that the school is unwilling to obey the mediation of the superiors and filed a lawsuit. After more than a year of litigation, it successfully won the case."

"The court ruled that the construction team must compensate the school for the corresponding losses and the cost of the lawsuit, medical compensation for students, etc., totaling 1.3 million yuan."

"In addition, all the original unqualified plastic tracks must be removed and rebuilt."

At this point, Jiang Yang knew that the key to the case was here.

He and Yu Jing listened attentively.

The next second, Wang Dahai raised his chin towards the deep pit, "The body was found by the construction team when they were cleaning the old plastic track."

"Actually, there was a mistake in the middle. The original construction time was 8 o'clock this morning, but the night before, a student skipped an evening self-study class and sneaked to the playground to play football. When he ran back, he happened to pass by the sealed plastic track and fell to the ground. He was not seriously injured, but was very scared."

"The school leaders couldn't help it that night and strongly asked the construction team to rush the work overnight."

Jiang Yang asked Wang Dahai: "Where is the person in charge of the construction site?"

"He is taking notes in the principal's office. When he found something wrong, he immediately called the police and notified the school and parent representatives at the same time."

When it comes to this, Wang Dahai is a little speechless.

"I thought the accounts were not investigated clearly, so I brought people here overnight. It turned out that it was not an economic dispute. Didn't I transfer it to your Criminal Investigation Corps immediately?"

"Hey, you are quite legally conscious."

Yu Jing snorted and laughed. After understanding the general situation, he walked behind the forensic doctor and took a look.

"What nonsense, isn't it? Someone has died. What if I'm a little slow and get mistaken for a murderer?"

Wang Dahai smiled, patted Jiang Yang on the shoulder and said, "That's basically it. I'll leave the rest to you. Call me anytime if you need anything. I know the accounts of the school and the construction team."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Captain Wang."

"Well, it's nothing. I'm serving the people."

Jiang Yang looked at the bruises and bloodshot eyes under Wang Dahai's eyes and couldn't help but admire his dedication to his job.

After the handover, the people from the Economic Investigation Corps didn't leave in a hurry and stayed to help.

Not long after, Gao Jinyang and others who received the notice also arrived. Jiang Yang relayed the information and immediately arranged the tasks.

"First, the confessions of several parties need to be repeated, and the school's surveillance video, the family members and social relations of the deceased need to be deeply understood."

"Another thing is that all the faculty and staff of the school, including cleaning, canteen, canteen and door guards, want to conduct a detailed investigation."

"Small restaurants, supermarkets, and boutiques near the school are not excluded. As long as it is a place frequented by students, any suspicious person must be reported."

The suspicious person referred to by Jiang Yang refers to social people who often appear in the same place as students.

Small gangsters and unemployed vagrants are all counted.

Because it is a murder case that happened in the school, the possibility that the murderer is an insider is very high.

Another point is that companies that have cooperative relations with the school are also concerned.

"Experimental Middle School has the habit of distributing bags of milk to students every day. The list of delivery personnel from the contracted company needs to come over. That's all for now. After the forensic doctor determines the approximate time of the crime, we will narrow the scope of the investigation."

Fuzhou Experimental Middle School is a key high school in the city second only to No. 1 Middle School. It has strict management, and all personnel who are not school employees must register when they enter and leave.

Although the school does not have full coverage, the main entrance, side entrance, corridors of the teaching building, teachers' offices, and multimedia classrooms are equipped with cameras.

Only two cameras are installed at the podium position on the playground, and the radiation range is limited.

Just out of reach of the plastic track.

Under the effect of the skill of improving observation, Jiang Yang only took a few simple glances and got a general idea.

"Action in groups, Lao Yu and Zeng Ge each lead a group of people, Dayu and Mao Ge focus on investigating non-school personnel who frequently enter and leave the school, including couriers and takeaways."
