Musen walked around the bottom cabin door and saw the firefighters moving away the heavy objects pressed on the top and the scattered parts of the hull frame and gangway.

Suddenly, Musen squatted down and looked at the deck and said, "Wait, what is this?"

Mo Ziqian, Cheng Feng and Lao Xia all surrounded him, looked at the deck that Mu Sen pointed to, and heard him say, "What are the traces? Shooting gun bullets! Someone fired a gun on the boat!"

When Lao Xia heard this, he knew that the matter was going to be a big deal. He whispered: "Musen, this is still a small voice. We haven't figured out the situation yet, so don't let people misunderstand..."

Musen didn't care about diplomatic issues. He stood up and pulled open a piece of iron box and said, "What's wrong with this? It's definitely a sign of bullets! Open the bottom warehouse quickly!"

As soon as the words were finished, the soldiers worked together to open the heavy hatch door.

Cheng Feng and Lao Xia couldn't wait to look down. When they saw this, the two veterans were so scared that they were scattered!

The iron ladder that should have been left at the exit disappeared, and there were a pile of corpses underneath, like a corpse refining room. Because the area of ​​the bottom warehouse was too small, these corpses were almost crowded, and the people were piled up in the bottom warehouse, full and tight. If nothing unexpected happened, this should be the missing victim of the entire ship.

Musen only took a look and immediately called for trace inspection and photography. Taking photos on site is very important, and he can record and save the first time information at the scene.

When they were all done, people started to come and went down one after another to put out the bodies.

The surface of these burned bodies was severely burned and looked terrible. However, it had not reached the level of complete carbonization, and the outline could be vaguely identified.

Musen pulled Mo Ziqian to run to the second floor, then searched through the entire second and third floors, and found the relics of many victims.

Mo Ziqian asked curiously: "How did you know that there are still relics of the victim on this boat? The things are almost burning. What did you think of?"

"These people have encountered a ship hijacking." Musen said calmly.

"So sure?" Mo Ziqian asked.

Because this case is extraordinary, Mo Ziqian hopes that Musen will carefully consider his reasoning results. Even if the previous cases were wrong, the worst thing was to take more detours when solving the case. However, this case is different. If a wrong detail is wrong, it may cause unimaginable serious consequences.

Lao Xia and Cheng Feng also followed. Mu Sen did not care about them, but focused on spreading some of the burned relics in his hands on the deck, then looked at the black items and said, "Look, this is something I collected from the entire second and third floors. There are gold rings and gold earrings... Look, this burnt one should be a wallet, and the money inside must not be used, but it can still be seen that a lot of money was placed inside at that time. Also, the burnt ID bag, the scorched plastic bodies inside should be the victim's important ID. Hey, there is also a bracelet here..."

Looking at Mu Sen's appearance as if he was a few of his own knowledge, Lao Xia couldn't help but look at Cheng Feng in confusion and asked, "Old Cheng... I heard for a long time that this young man is a case-handling genius, and his thinking and reasoning methods are different from those of ordinary people... Is this his special thing?"

Cheng Feng nodded and said, "He ran up when he saw the body below. He must have thought of something, don't worry."

At this time, Musen raised his head and said, "Is this something I thought of? Look at the charred things on the ground, all the victims deliberately hid. They are protecting their own property, can't they see it? If there is no situation in this ship at all, the best way to protect the property should be to carry it in close proximity, right? If it really caught fire or something like that, it is impossible to take off all the valuables and hide them on this fire ship, right? Is this logical?"

"Then... what is logical?" Lao Xia asked.

"A logical situation is that they are sightseeing on the boat, and then suddenly change. Someone hijacked the ship, so they secretly hid all the valuable items."

"This..." Lao Xia glanced at Cheng Feng, and didn't know how to understand Musen's judgment for a moment.

Musen continued: "Not only that, at the moment when they hid something, they must have realized that they were in danger of their lives, nor that the ship would catch fire. Therefore, this proves that although the people hijacked the ship had guns, there were not many people. Or it can be said that there were very few people. The victims at that time might have used delay tactics and wanted to wait for rescue. They might have tried to fight to see if they could subdue the evil people. Obviously, in the end, they failed in either way."

Old Xia listened to Mu Sen's words and thought for a while, "If this is the case, why did they run to the bottom warehouse in the case of a gangster in front and a fire in the back? It should have all this common sense? Running down can only be a dead end, and the hope of survival of jumping ships is greater than that. What's more, there are lifebuoys, life jackets and other equipment on the ship."

Musen smiled bitterly and said, "Why don't you understand that the ship did not catch fire before they went down. The bullet marks at the bottom warehouse hatch prove that they were the bottom warehouse under duress."

"Didn't you just say that there were not many gangsters?"

"It's really not much. Because there are not many, the way they took may be to lie that they only rob money and avoid life. The victims felt that there was not much danger, so they obeyed and went to the bottom of the warehouse." Musen said.

Cheng Feng also said with some confusion at this time: "Musen, then what do you think are the number of criminals?"

Mu Sen thought for a while and said, "The reason why the criminals wanted to let all these people go down to the bottom is that the space below is small. If the iron ladder is removed, these people will not be able to get up at all. In this way, the criminals will be able to control the situation. They must be afraid of more than 30 people and lure them into the bottom warehouse. This calculation of the lack of confidence and the proportion of people can show that there are at most four criminals."

Lao Xia said anxiously: "More than 30 people, but they were killed by all four people?! Five of them can kill these four gangsters even if they beat them! Isn't this reasonable?" Lao Xia's concept is very conservative, but full of fighting spirit and backbone. From a nation to a group, the saddest thing is that he has no sense of resistance at all.

I remember that in the war years, most countries around the world were in the smoke of gunpowder. Some people, in groups of three or five, dared to resist the invaders and atrocities. Some people, hundreds of people, were escorted and slaughtered by two or three enemies. The slaughterful and imminent countermeasures that were imminent but did not resist were natural and cunning. It seemed that everyone was thinking, "If you don't go, I won't go. Why should I go first? If you want to go, you go first..." for fear that the gun would hit the bird, so in this ignorant and shallow selfish concept, they were slaughtered unconsciously.

But today, what happened on this boat was definitely not the situation in that era. Musen explained: "The passenger list is clearly recorded. Among these thirty people, there are women and children. No one will easily anger the criminals when they cheat on their lives. But they don't have this experience and don't know that the vicious people will not trust them."

As he said that, Musen took everyone back to the bottom warehouse, and then squatted in the hatch and said, "The moment you opened the hatch, you should have seen that the deceased was in front of the man and the woman behind them. They were crowded with people, and they still protected the weak behind them. These people were already very brave, but they didn't expect that in the end everything would be futile. Did you see the gasoline barrel floating there? It must be the main prop for arson. There was also a pack of fried fish on the cabinet piled by the wall in the bottom warehouse. The fuse was lit, but it didn't explode. Finally, let's talk about the water here. The cabin was on fire, but it did not burn too much of the ship's structure. The ship did not leak water, where did this water come from?"

"..." No one spoke.

Musen said as if he was asking and answering himself: "Someone opened the bottom valve of the ship and wanted to try to release water to submerge the ship. But probably the debris blocked the valve, and this move was not successful."

Lao Xia nodded clearly, but said to Musen very seriously: "Musen, you know, our police officers do not rely on reasoning skills. We have to talk about evidence. What you said... are there any conclusive evidence at present?"

"When my friend reports the autopsy results, all the evidence will be clear." Musen said confidently.

Cheng Feng looked at his watch at this time and said, "Musen, Ziqian, I know you are all geniuses in solving cases. But can you grasp the time of the autopsy? Now there are only four hours left before the arrival of the families of the victims and the media reports. Four hours later, if we don't have an explanation yet, do you know what it means?" Cheng Feng's face was serious.

Musen nodded and said, "It will lose the trust of the people and the establishment of diplomacy. It will not only arouse public's doubts about the police, but may even suspect that our entire police system has problems. Incompetence, immorality, neglect of duty, and corpse position... All the infamy will be thrown on the police's head. Don't worry, I believe there is no problem with Ziyi. It will only take four hours to get a result."

"Really?" Cheng Feng's eyes revealed surprise and joy.

Musen looked at Mo Ziqian, and Mo Ziqian replied, "I will do my best, but I have a requirement. During my autopsy, I don't need anyone to be present, as long as Musen and I are enough. You also know that the fewer people are trustworthy, the less people don't like to watch important moments."

Cheng Feng nodded without saying a word and said, "No problem, I fully understand. It just so happens that I don't want too many people to know the details of this case. Just let you two! It's only four hours, young people, I'll wait for your news."

After following Mu Sen and Mo Ziqian, I returned to the county police station, and only then did I realize that the bodies had just been carried in one after another, and there was no place to be placed. Some of them were even stopped in the exposed areas behind.

The simple morgue was filled with corpses. Mo Ziqian picked three of them as if he had carefully selected them and sent them to the forensic anatomy room.

Musen asked: "Why are these three?"

“There is trauma.”

"What's the injury?"

"fracture."

"Fracture..." Musen felt that the injury was a bit strange. If the criminal did not have a strong conflict with the victim, why would the fracture occur? Will this fracture overturn all his previous speculations? Perhaps... there are no criminals at all?

Seeing Mu Sen a little stunned, Mo Ziqian smiled and put on a mask and gloves and said, "Don't be nervous, these fractures may just prove your point of view. These injuries are not resistance injuries, but I think they are more like fall injuries. All the victims were burned by fire when they were alive, but their real cause of death should be carbon monoxide poisoning, which is...suffocation death." Mo Ziqian fiddled with the eyes of the corpse, tongue/head, and moved the knife at his hand.

"The carbooxyhemoglobin is as high as 60%, and there is smoke and dust powder in the lungs and respiratory tracts. I don't need to say that Musen was burned to death alive. Theories that suspected that the deceased were destroyed after all deaths can now be completely overturned." Mo Ziqian hurriedly grabbed the lungs of the third corpse.

Musen went around to the other side of the dissection table and asked: "Zi Qiong, why are these corpses burned the most severely? Some have been carbonized. And legs and feet..." Musen pointed to the strange legs of the deceased who had not burned the dead and asked Mo Zi Qiong.

I have not been exposed to cases of arson and murder before. The typical characteristics of burning are very obvious. I was burned after death. As long as I passed through the forensic doctor's hands, it was also very obvious. However, I have never heard of this kind of fire that only burned half of my body. The only possibility is that... the deceased had only the upper half of his body caught fire.

Mo Ziqian looked at Mu Sen with a smile, as if he believed that this problem was definitely not a problem for him.

Musen continued to reason with excitement: "If only half of the victim caught fire, it proves...their lower body is in the water! Then, the order of the murderer's killing methods is very clear. He first deceived and intimidated, and let all the victims enter the bottom warehouse. Then, he threatened them to hand over all the money by putting water into the boat. Unexpectedly, after the water was put on a while, the water no longer entered. So, they lit the fish fried man again. However, because the water was wet, it was soaked in the water. After the two murders and coercion ended in failure, these vicious gangsters were angry. They simply

After a while, the gasoline was poured into the hatch and poured it into the bottom warehouse. At this time, the men realized the danger. They protected the women and children behind them, trying to protect them. The space that was already crowded to suffocation, suddenly when they changed positions, someone fell down, and even was stepped and injured. This is the problem of your discovery of a fracture. Then... the fire started to burn, and the beasts covered the hatch door, pressed heavy objects, and left in a hurry. In desperation, they forgot to take away the gasoline barrel that committed the crime. More than thirty lives were slowly suffocated to death in the thick smoke and carbon monoxide of the fire..."
