Chapter 1505 Feature Recording and Reporting
Xiao Li meticulously recorded the entire investigation process in his investigation logbook, from the scene environment, the location, quantity, and characteristics of the extracted traces and physical evidence, to the findings on the body's surface and the preliminary analysis of the cause of death. Every detail was recorded completely and clearly, without any omissions.
Xiao Yang stood up, stretched, looked at the body in the ditch, and said solemnly, "Alright, the surface examination of the body is temporarily over. Next, we will re-examine the scene according to the principle of 'from near to far,' focusing on reviewing the areas we have already examined to see if there are any traces or physical evidence that we have missed. At the same time, we will check the surveillance cameras and suspicious persons around the scene to find more clues."
Subsequently, Xiao Yang and Xiao Sun led the technical team members to re-examine the site according to the principle of "from near to far". They conducted a comprehensive review of the previously investigated ditch, the guardrails around the ditch, the sidewalk, the non-motorized vehicle lane, and the surrounding environment, leaving no detail unchecked to ensure that no trace or physical evidence was missed.
They first re-examined the ditch area around the body, carefully examining the silt and sewage at the bottom of the ditch and shining a flashlight into every corner, but found no new traces or evidence. Next, they re-examined the guardrails on both sides of the ditch, checking their surfaces again, but found no new traces or evidence such as hair, fibers, or fingerprints. Then, they re-examined the sidewalk and non-motorized vehicle lane, focusing on the locations where traces of silt and hair had been found previously, but found no new suspicious traces, nor any other footprints, fingerprints, or other traces or evidence.
Subsequently, they expanded their investigation to include surveillance cameras within a 100-meter radius of the site, focusing on the cameras at the intersection on the eastern section of Jianshe Road and the camera in front of the convenience store on the west side. The investigation revealed that the camera at the intersection on the eastern section of Jianshe Road, due to its age and equipment, had blurry images. Furthermore, the camera's angle primarily captured traffic at the intersection, failing to capture the area where the ditch was located, thus preventing them from obtaining relevant footage. Similarly, the camera in front of the convenience store on the west side, while in good working order and displaying clear images, was also limited to capturing the store entrance and part of the sidewalk, again failing to capture the area where the ditch was located, and thus also failing to obtain relevant footage.
"Captain Yang, all the surveillance cameras within a 100-meter radius of the scene have been checked," Xiao Sun reported to Xiao Yang. "The surveillance cameras at the intersection are old and have blurry images, and the angle is wrong, so they can't capture the scene. The surveillance cameras at the convenience store entrance are also at the wrong angle and can't capture the scene either. We haven't obtained any surveillance footage related to the case, so we can't use the surveillance to investigate the whereabouts of the suspect and the crime process."
Xiao Yang nodded, his expression growing increasingly grave, and said, "Yes, this is a significant obstacle to our investigation. Without surveillance footage, we can't directly understand the perpetrator's modus operandi, their escape route, or track down the suspect. However, we shouldn't give up. We should continue checking other surveillance cameras around the scene to see if any captured footage of the area. At the same time, we should check the surrounding shops and residential buildings to see if any witnesses can provide clues related to the case."
"Understood, Team Leader Yang!" Xiao Sun replied and immediately led a technical team member to continue checking the surveillance cameras and shops and residential buildings around the scene to find witnesses and relevant clues; Xiao Yang continued to lead the other team members to re-examine the scene to ensure that no traces or physical evidence were missed.
After more than an hour of meticulous re-examination, they still found no new traces or physical evidence, nor any eyewitnesses who could provide clues. Most of the shops around the scene were not yet open. The few shops that were open said that after getting up early, they only saw the police tape and police officers, but did not see the incident or any suspicious persons. Most of the nearby residents came to watch after hearing the news early in the morning, and they also did not see the incident or any suspicious persons.
It was already 9:30 a.m., and the on-site investigation had been going on for two and a half hours. Xiao Yang, Xiao Sun, and the members of the technical team were all exhausted. Their faces were covered with dust and mud, and their hands were stiff from wearing investigation gloves and performing meticulous operations for a long time. But they did not slack off at all. They carefully sorted out all the traces and physical evidence they had collected, checked the investigation records and photos, and made sure that every piece of trace evidence, every photo, and every record was accurate.
“Team Leader Yang, all on-site investigation work has been completed, and the re-examination has also been finished. No new traces or physical evidence were found, nor were any witnesses identified,” Xiao Sun reported in a low voice as he approached Xiao Yang. “The traces and physical evidence collected have all been sorted out, placed in the investigation kit, and marked. These include: 3 black hairs, 5 light-colored fibers, 2 mud samples (from the sidewalk tiles and around the body), 1 sewage sample (around the body), 1 suspected bloodstain sample (from the deceased's underwear abdomen), 1 stain sample (from the deceased's coat back), and 2 clothing fiber samples (from the deceased's coat cuffs and trouser hems), totaling 15 pieces of traces and physical evidence. The investigation records and photos have also been sorted out. The records are complete, the photos are clear, and they can fully reconstruct the entire process of the on-site investigation and all the findings.”
Xiao Yang nodded, carefully checked the collected trace evidence, investigation records, and photos, and after confirming that nothing was missing or incorrect, said, "Okay, thank you all for your hard work. The on-site investigation is now complete. Xiao Wang, you are responsible for organizing, archiving, and backing up all the investigation photos to ensure they are not lost; Xiao Li, you are responsible for further refining the investigation records and compiling them into a standardized on-site investigation report, and submitting it as soon as possible; Xiao Sun, you are responsible for properly storing all the collected trace evidence and sending it to the laboratory immediately for priority testing, focusing on suspected bloodstain samples, hair, and fiber samples, and obtaining the test results as soon as possible to provide evidence for solving the case."
"Understood, Team Leader Yang!" Xiao Wang, Xiao Li, and Xiao Sun responded in unison, immediately throwing themselves into the subsequent work of sorting and sending the samples for testing. Afterwards, Xiao Yang took off his investigation uniform and gloves, wiped the dust and sweat from his face, and quickly walked to Li Ming's side. At this moment, Li Ming was questioning sanitation worker Li Baode, learning the details of his discovery of the body. Seeing Xiao Yang approach, Li Ming stopped questioning and said, "Xiao Yang, how's the on-site investigation going? What have you found?"
