22.3 III
A dump in the city dedicated to abandoned cars.
As a product of human civilization, the automobile and its owner have their own different lengths of life. And the length of this life cycle really doesn't depend on whether it can be used, but often on whether its owner is not suitable. Even if you are a car in very good condition, he will not hesitate to abandon it when it is time for your owner.
That's why there will be this kind of mysterious place in the city that resembles a car cemetery. There are scrap cars from various historical periods, and they are scattered all over the place. There are only a few huge passages left to facilitate some of the work here. These passages are often flanked by the kind of tall scrap trucks piled up in layers, silently recounting the short life they once had.
Since it is a garbage dump for abandoned cars, there is no need for a road here. After a heavy rain, it really became muddy. This is a very good spring rain, the kind of spring rain that is silent and silent. But it is this infinitely beautiful spring rain that turns this place into a sea of mud, making it a place where strangers and outsiders are not welcome.
Du Fair, Daniel, and Henry are such outsiders, so Du Fair, Daniel, and Henry walked in this deserted place, this difficult and unusual place.
Henry, "Is this really the place going on? There's not even a human figure in this place, is it?"
Henry is a real pure-blooded Georger, Henry actually grew up under the nose of old Reagan since he was a child, Henry is a partner who was born and died with Daniel for several years, so Henry is a very reliable person, so Frank will send Daniel and Henry together to help Du Fair's investigation. But Henry has one of the biggest shortcomings, that is, he is a bit talkative, and according to the confirmation of old Regan, Henry's chatter is actually ancestral, because the grandfather of Henry that old Reagan knows is also the kind of guy who talks a lot, is impulsive, and lustful. Henry is actually a copy of their ancestors in this period.
Daniel had no choice but to look at the reliable partner Henry beside him, "You have also read the file, is it here, you don't know?"
Henry, "Well, I'll admit it, the boy who found out about this case is a genius, a lucky guy! I think we need to get him back and have a chat?"
Daniel, "In what name?"
Henry, "The name always thinks of a way, and the key takeaway may be even greater than here." ”
Henry actually made a constructive suggestion in a different direction. Everyone leaves this damn quagmire, heads back to a warm and cozy office, and brings the lucky guy over for tea and a chat.
What a wonderful suggestion!
But when Henry looked at Du Pingping, the real person in charge of this secret operation, Du Pingping ignored him and continued to walk forward.
This is in fact a complete denial of Henry's opinion, and a denial of it. This made Comrade Henry very helpless.
Henry, "Okay! Damn the weather! Damn it!"
Du Ping came to the middle of a clearing, took out a tablet from his backpack, turned on the computer, opened a picture, and looked left and right. The figure observed for a while in each of the four directions of the south, south, and west. He handed the tablet to Daniel, pointing to the map marker on it.
"It's here." ”
Daniel looked at the tablet, also looked at the map, observed for a while, and affirmed Du's opinion.
Daniel, "This is it. ”
This is the place where a beautiful and obese lady burned a month ago, and it is also the destination of the three of them. But a month has passed, and it's such a magical and comfortable rain, so nothing, and indeed nothing.
Henry looked around and spread his hands, "Good! What do we need to do next? Find a mine detector? I really hope it can do a little bit in a place like this, in this weather. ”
Henry is actually a good person! It's just that he always offends people very easily, and he is the kind of foul mouth that offends people intentionally or unintentionally. It is said that it is also inherited from generation to generation in their family.
Powerful genetics!
Of course, Du Ping will not have any calculations with Henry, and he will not be able to care. The best way to deal with Henry, which Du Ping has mastered, is to ignore him. When you can really do that, you suddenly find that the whole world is quiet.
Du Pingping ignored Henry, and just presented his findings to the two of them, hoping to get some role in the outline.
"Today's weather should have happened when the spontaneous combustion of the human body was almost the same, and it was just a rain in the city. So how did you feel about us all the way?"
Henry, "Feeling, not feeling. If we come in a good day, I'm sure I'll feel something. ”
Henry's words were ignored, and Du Ping looked at Daniel.
Daniel, "The road is very difficult, I really don't know how a fat woman who weighs 200 kilograms came here." ”
Du Ping, "She can't walk?"
Daniel, "Yes, we're going, it's all so difficult." Then for her, it is even more difficult to achieve. It could be something else. ”
"What if someone sent him here?"
Daniel, "One or two people can't do it, there must be special tools, such as a car and the like." ”
Henry continued to play a huge role in his mess.
Henry, "Why is it a crime? It could be a spontaneous human combustion? This kind of death is too horrible to be caused by humans." ”
Du Pingping smiled, "I have always believed that human creativity is never-ending. Some of the current deaths caused by radioactive poisoning are cursed events of witchcraft in ancient times, even miracles, and there is no solution. But now it doesn't mean anything, as long as we have the right methods and foods, it can be discovered and determined. ”
Daniel finally couldn't stand his friend and partner who had worked together for many years and could be fully trusted.
Daniel, "Henry, now that we're following the case, let's first position it as a serial murder. So don't talk about any more mysterious events!"
Henry, "Well, you're the boss. ”
The opinions of the small team were unified again, and Du Pingping immediately began his concluding speech.
According to the previous police investigation, the deceased in this case was a seriously overweight woman who weighed more than 200 kilograms. The only characteristic of this woman who is seriously overweight is that she usually likes to stay at home. I don't like to spin around, and my athleticism is weak. So why would such a heavy woman with almost zero movement come to such a place where no one usually comes, and the roads are in abusive condition? And according to the information we have, it is very unlikely that she knows that there is such a place, which is not her range of exercise, and the environment in which she likes to exercise. ”
Du Ping first compared one with his fingers, and then compared one to two, "We all worked so hard to come here, a fat woman who weighed more than 200 kilograms, how did she get here?"
Du Pingping very consciously exerts the interactive way of asking questions and answering questions in his open classes. But it's a pity that the two classmates in front of Du Ping are not very good. One by one, they looked at Du Ping as if they were in a daze, without a trace of the idea and passion of taking the initiative to answer.
This made Du Ping helpless, in fact, Du Ping didn't want to immediately announce what he felt. But in this case, Du Ping had to tell it.
"The environment here gives me a feeling, it is transparent on all sides, a meeting place of various paths, and a small flat land, what do you say this place looks like?"
Henry looked around, then shook his head, "It's a scrap yard!
Du Pingping looked at Daniel with encouraging eyes, and Daniel really did not give up Du Ping's expectations, and said an answer that Du Pingping almost announced his own answer.
Daniel, "Little square, like one of the little squares in the city." ”
"A place where you can show people in all directions what's going on here, right?"
Daniel, "Yes. ”
Just like the ancient execution ground, in order to allow more people to see the execution, the torturers would choose some convenient roads and small squares. ”
Henry looked at Du Ping in disbelief, "This is a place with convenient transportation and a lot of people?"
Du Fair, "If this friend of ours was also a kind of otaku like before. Then such an environment can also be said to be an effort and improvement by him. Have you noticed that since the last three cases, the serial spontaneous combustion of the human body has developed from a relatively independent and enclosed space to the outdoors and to a place where more people can see it?"
Henry, "You're saying it's not the first scene?"
Du Fair, "Henry, this is a spontaneous combustion incident. If you run from one block to another with a torch, you'll get the attention of countless people. And even more so a burning woman, so this must be the scene of the first crime. ”
Daniel, "This is the execution ground?"
"If our assumptions are correct, and our friends have begun to gradually improve their otaku character, then this criminal must be a criminal who has already pursued it. Just like a genius artist, he no longer allows his works to be left without an audience! We, the geniuses, have been lonely for too long. He has produced many such perfect incidents, and no one even knows about them! Such things are so unforgivable!"
Henry opened his mouth in disbelief, "Is that really the case?"
"So, I think this series of incidents is very scary! If you don't deal with it, the impact will be very great." ”
Daniel also took out a tablet and carefully studied the case file copied from the computer.
Daniel, "However, according to the records, the police did not find any traces of special vehicles at the time!"
But if people initially identify it as a spontaneous human combustion incident, I believe it will be difficult to conduct a serious on-site inspection. That's why I decided to come and have a look. ”
Daniel, "Okay, you say what's going to be done." ”
Du Pingping looked around, showing the expression of plowing the ground, "Although it was last month, I hope we can still gain something!"
Henry looked around with that extremely sad expression, "I hope so." ”
…………………………
In the hall of the police station, just after finishing the on-site search of the scrapped car garbage dump, the Du Fair trio, who had returned here, met the beautiful and lovely Susan as soon as they entered the door. Susan, who had been sitting on the reception sofa in the police station hall waiting for the three of them, came to the three of them like a ray of light that pierced through the darkness, bringing that kind of sunshine and vitality like spring grass to the three people who returned from the smelly and dirty garbage dump.
The three of them walked up to Susan with a happy smile, and Susan covered her nose and looked at the three with strange eyes.
Susan, "Did you fall into that junkyard or that refugee camp?" Why is it that all of them are dirty and smelly?"
Henry gave a look of hatred, "That's a very, very good question! And I, now I need to go take a shower first. ”
Henry had just taken two steps when he suddenly turned around again, came to Susan, and said very seriously and sincerely, "By the way, does it really stink?"
Susan nodded, and Henry immediately let out a scream.
Henry, "I've got a fabulous date in the evening! You two damn guys! And the damn scrapyard! Damn case!"
Henry rushed into the police building like a frightened boar, causing countless people to get out of the way and cover their mouths and noses.
Susan looked at Du Fair and Daniel with a smile, as if she had forgotten the unpleasant smell of their two bodies.
Susan, "How's it going, what's the catch?"
Daniel, "Damn! It's been a month, but the ghosts don't go to that place, and it's impossible to find nothing at all. ”
Susan looked at Du Pingping, who was contemplating.
Susan, "What do you think?"
"In fact, there is no gain, which may be the biggest gain." ”
Daniel, "I don't understand. ”
"Then there is only one possibility. That's where the fat woman walked on her own. Although it's the last thing I want to believe. Now it seems that this may be the biggest possibility right now. ”
A snap of the fingers, as if igniting a certain inspiration, "In this way, we need to have a deeper and more in-depth understanding of this fat woman!"
…………………………
Dongliuqiu Country, Tibetan Horse City, an ordinary civilian street, and a two-storey ordinary small building.
In front of the door of this ordinary small building, a postman stopped the car, looked at the name of the resident who marked it "Suzuki Sanda", came to the waist-high small short wall and rang the doorbell, the kind of doorbell that was very popular, fashionable and advanced a few years ago, but now it is outdated.
Soon, the voices of the residents inside came from the doorbell.
Female voice, "Hello, this is the Suzuki Sawawa family. Which one are you?"
Postman, "I'm the postman, and here is a letter from you, a foreign letter sent from Tongguo, which requires your signature." ”
The female voice said, "Yes! ”
After a while, the door of the courtyard opened, and a middle-aged woman in an apron trotted out.
Woman, "I'm sorry, I'm working from home." Where is that letter?"
The postman delivered the mail in his hand.
Postman, "Here, please sign for it." ”
It's a thick letter!
When a woman signs for it, she already has some judgment about its original character.
…………………………
Ordinary apartments in Tangguo, New City, and a civilian area.
The trio of Du Fair, Daniel, and Henry came here because this is where the beautiful woman who magically bloomed herself lived.
Henry knocked on the door of a house on the first floor, and an old white woman with a hunched back came out, and Henry took out his badge and showed it to the old woman.
Henry, "You're the owner here, we're the New York City police." ”
The old woman put the old-fashioned reading glasses hanging on her chest on her nose, looked carefully at the badge in Henry's hand, and after carefully confirming that it was a genuine product, she looked at Henry.
Old woman, "Well, even if you're a NYC policeman, what's the matter with you?"
Henry, "Does Leila Betty live here? The same one who spontaneously combusted at the city's car scrapyard last month." ”
Old woman, "No! You're mistaken. ”
The old woman not only answered crisply, but closed the door crisply. It's just that at the moment when she was about to open the door, Heng had firmly pressed against the door that was closing.
Henry, "We're the New York City cops, and cheating the police is a felony!"
Old woman, "Are you scaring me? When I don't understand the law? Well, what's wrong with living here?" Do you have any court approval, no, then please go back. No reception!"
Henry, "You're a bull-nosed!"
"Yes, what can you do?" the old woman, "what can you do?" little doll, you were still nursing in your mother's arms while I rolled the sheets on the bed with the wild man. You can't scare Mrs. Ben and me. ”
The old woman was not only very unfriendly to the police, but also showed an extraordinary ferocity.
This is the reality of the real Tang country's society, and under very reasonable circumstances, she can ignore the power and dignity of your police in her own legal territory. This is the old woman's private room, and without the approval of the court, Henry really has no way to deal with her, because she is legal, and private things and territory are sacrosanct.
