Chapter 213: Broken Corpses?
The guests at the Love Bar are yellow-skinned Asians, white-skinned Westerners, and even a table of blacks. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
What Lin Lei heard the most in his ears was still Chinese.
More than half of the customers in the bar are Chinese.
Lin Lei and Lu Yun chatted for a while, and when the musician began to play rock, Lin Lei motioned for the waiter to come over......
Lin Lei took out ten dollars from his pocket and signaled that it was a tip for the waiter.
Previously, in the hospital, Lin Lei's "red envelope" to the nurse was 100 US dollars, and the situation there was different, after all, Lu Yun was sick and needed more detailed care from the nurse.
Ten dollars is now given to a waiter, which is considered a relatively normal "tip level".
In Burma, $10 is not too little, and many ordinary workers here earn more than $100,200 a month.
Myanmar is a poor country, and naturally it cannot be compared with China.
The waiter took the tip with a smile, and was about to ask Lin Lei what else he needed, but found that Lin Lei took out a photo from his pocket.
The waiter was a young man in his twenties, and as soon as he saw the photo in Lin Lei's hand, he immediately became vigilant: "Sir, you are—"
Lin Lei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said lightly: "Do you know the woman in the photo?"
The waiter shook his head, his lips moved, but finally he didn't speak.
Lin Lei frowned slightly, and after glancing at Lu Yun, he took out a hundred-dollar bill from his pocket--well, no, a hundred-dollar bill......
"We are friends of the woman in the photo, and we came all the way from Yangguang to look for her......" Lin Lei casually made up a reason and introduced his intentions, "This hundred dollars is for you, you tell me what you know." ”
From the waiter's previous look, Lin Lei was sure that he had seen the missing Li Xi.
The waiter licked his lips, first looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, and then stared at the banknote in Lin Lei's hand: "Sir, the police have come to ask several times before......
Lin Lei's expression was as usual, but he bowed slightly, and did not answer, but waited for the waiter to continue.
The waiter continued, "This guest was here that night......"
"Which night?!" Lin Lei interrupted the waiter's words, his eyes deepening.
The waiter smiled, looked around again, and then whispered, "The woman who disappeared from Pyeongchang Street...... I'm talking about the night the guest disappeared—"
Lin Lei smiled slightly, glanced at the waiter meaningfully, nodded and said, "Well, yes, you are very right." You continue—"
Lu Yun listened on the sidelines, and felt that there was nothing wrong with what the waiter said.
The Burmese police have not released the facts of the case, so the case is still a confidential one. But the locals in Myanmar know very well, they just don't tell the foreign tourists.
The waiter was a local, he knew that this was normal, and the police had come to question him several times, apparently the woman in the photo, Li Xi, had disappeared on Pyeongchang Street......
Judging from these few sentences, there is nothing wrong with the waiter at present.
The waiter coughed dryly and continued: "This female tourist from China is very special. ”
Lin Lei's brows twitched slightly, and he asked, "What kind of special law?"
The waiter looked around again......
At this time, Lu Yun couldn't hold back, and asked coldly: "What are you looking at? There is a ghost behind you?"
The waiter shuddered, and it took him a long time to come to his senses: "Uh-no. The main reason is that the police in the case of the disappearance on Pyeongchang Street have repeatedly told them not to mention it to foreigners, for fear that it will have a bad impact......"
Lin Lei understood as soon as he heard it, this was not strange.
It seems that the Burmese police also want to "save face" and absolutely not allow "smearing" their "glorious image......
The waiter Ken said that it was not because Lin Lei was handsome, nor because Lu Yun was beautiful, but the hundred-dollar bill in Lin Lei's hand......
Hehe, money can make ghosts grind!
Lin Lei handed the banknote to the waiter, and his tone was very calm: "It's okay, don't be nervous, the police are off duty at this time, you can rest assured and say it boldly." ”
After a pause, Lin Lei continued: "I won't tell others that you said it, I'm just here to find friends." If you can't find it, forget it...... By the way, what's your name?"
As soon as he heard Lin Lei's words, the waiter guy's mood seemed to be a little more stable.
He quickly took the hundred-dollar bill, put it in his pocket, and then said with a smile: "Thank you, sir, my Chinese name is Ah Cheng." ”
"Ah Cheng, did you just say that this female tourist is very special? What do you mean......" Lin Lei pulled the topic back to the core issue.
Ah Cheng thought for a while and whispered, "It was about 7 p.m. when she came to our bar that day, and she sat in ...... all the time."
Ah Cheng looked at Lu Yun with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "I've been sitting in this lady's position." ”
"Ahh
Maybe girls are more sensitive, so Lu Yun has this reaction. It was only a short moment, Lu Yunwei frowned, and sat down again.
After sitting down, Lu Yun looked left and right, and there seemed to be nothing abnormal.
Lin Lei narrowed his eyes slightly, and said lightly: "Did she come alone? As soon as she came in, she chose a corner here to sit alone?"
Ah Cheng didn't think about it, and nodded again and again: "Yes, so I say special? There are more male customers than female customers in our bar, and even if there are female customers, most of them are companions." ”
Lin Lei bowed his head slightly and was silent.
After a long time, Lin Lei then asked, "You go on, what happened to her later?"
Ah Cheng frowned and said, "This guest seems to have something on his mind, drinking here alone......"
Before Ah Cheng could finish speaking, Lin Lei interrupted him: "What kind of wine did she drink?"
"Three star brandy. Ah Cheng blurted out.
Lin Lei squinted his eyes slightly and made a gesture of "continue to speak".
Ah Cheng continued: "Later, the guest drank and vomited......"
"Spit up?" Lu Yun frowned, looking at Ah Cheng, as if he couldn't believe it.
Lin Lei smiled slightly, and said to Lu Yun: "Lu Yun, it's not strange that you drink too much wine alone. It means that she has something on her mind!"
Lu Yun looked at Lin Lei suspiciously: "How do you know that she has something in her heart?"
Lin Lei restrained his smile and looked serious: "A girl, go to the bar alone to drink, or drink foreign wine, is it okay in your heart?"
Lu Yun pondered for a while, and had to admit that what Lin Lei said made sense, too reasonable......
Lin Lei stood up, and finally asked Ah Cheng: "How did this guest leave? Even if she drank too much, no one came to pick her up?"
Ah Cheng shook his head: "No." She left alone. She was already stumbling, and our boss asked her if she needed to call a taxi for her, but she refused. ”
"Your boss?"
"Well, our boss's name is Brother Guang. ”
Lin Lei glanced at the bar, and sure enough, there was a man in his early forties inside. Judging from his dress and age, he can't be a waiter, he should be the boss Brother Guang in Ah Cheng's mouth.
Lin Lei took out a cigarette and lit it.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Lei asked, "When did she leave the bar?"
Ah Cheng showed a look of memory on his face, and after about ten seconds, he replied: "Blackjack, it's about that time." ”
Lin Lei bowed slightly, and said to Ah Cheng: "Okay, I don't have any problems." I've asked you about it, don't talk to anyone else. ”
Ah Cheng nodded again and again: "Understood." ”
Lin Lei gave Lu Yun a look, and the two stood up together, paid the bill and left the love bar.
When passing by the bar counter, Lin Lei glanced at Brother Guang, the owner of the bar, but found that Brother Guang was also watching him......
After Lin Lei walked out of the bar, he walked more than twenty meters away and suddenly stopped.
Lin Lei took a deep breath of the Dianba Water Bay in his hand, snuffed out the cigarette butt, and threw it into the trash can on the side of the road: "Lu Yun, what time is it?"
Lu Yun looked at her watch and frowned slightly: "Twenty-one and twelve." ”
This time is the time period when Li Xi disappeared a few days ago.
That night, what happened to the drunken Li Xi after he came out of the love bar?
Lin Lei glanced at the nearby streets, there were fewer pedestrians on the streets, but they were not empty, there were still people.
Lu Yun glanced at Lin Lei and asked in a low voice: "Lin Lei, I always feel that this case is not simple, and I am afraid that the truth behind it is ......."
Lin Lei smiled slightly and said encouragingly: "Well, you talk about it, I'll listen to your thoughts." ”
Lu Yun sorted out her thoughts, and her voice became deeper and lower: "I feel that Li Xi is more and less lucky, and like those women who disappeared before, I am afraid that he has already been killed." ”
Lin Lei's eyes narrowed slightly, noncommittal: "You go on—"
Lu Yun continued: "A foreign tourist like Li Xi is not familiar with the place, and there is no possibility that he will have any enemies on Pyeongchang Street. She's not rich, she's just a tourist - the usual vendettas, money, and love killings don't look like ......."
After finishing speaking, Lu Yun looked at Lin Lei with some expectation: "The motive of this case is not clear!"
Lin Lei nodded slightly, and said slowly: "In just three or four years, nearly fifty young women have disappeared on Pingchang Street, if it is a homicide, this murderer is very terrifying." ”
Lu Yun shuddered suddenly: "Could it be the real Hannibal?"
As soon as these words landed, Lin Lei's brows immediately furrowed tightly!
The previous "Nanguan Ogre Case" in China finally proved that Li Chengkai was not Hannibal, and his so-called "cannibalism" also had deep-seated reasons.
The Pyeongchang Street series of disappearances are all women, and they are of different nationalities, excluding love and vendetta killings, is the murderer randomly choosing the target?
Lin Lei pondered for a while, shook his head and said to Lu Yun: "It doesn't have to be a homicide. There were so many missing people that I thought that this case might be something else. ”
Lu Yun frowned and asked, "What else is possible?"
Lin Lei shook his head slightly: "I don't know." I just think it's a bit far-fetched to say it's a serial homicide without a body being found. ”
Lu Yun glanced at Lin Lei: "I still know--of course, it can't be defined as a homicide without a corpse!
Lin Lei laughed, glanced at Lu Yun meaningfully, and then quickly restrained his smile.
Lin Lei looked at the shadowy street and said lightly: "I have a hunch that the gangsters are on this street. It's probably a store......"
Lu Yun's heart suddenly hung up-
There were still pedestrians on the street, and the shops were open, but Lin Lei said that the gangsters might be the owner of a certain shop......
Lu Yun pondered it carefully, and had to admit that what Lin Lei said was very reasonable.
Pyeongchang Street is not a remote place, although there are not too many people at night, but there are still pedestrians on the street!
Li Xi or those young women before him are all adults, and if something happens, they will definitely cry out for help, and they will not "disappear" for no reason.
Besides, even if the victim is killed by surprise in a corner, what is the body to do?
The process of disposing of the corpse will surely be discovered, unless-
The murderer had to have a relatively confined space.
Not only that, but the killer must also have the ability to transport the body out of Pyeongchang Street.
Because once the case is discovered, the Mongla police will definitely carry out a large-scale investigation of these shops......
Thinking of this, Lu Yun couldn't help but gasp, and she didn't know why the word "broken corpse" suddenly popped up in her mind.
Lu Yun controlled his emotions and looked at Lin Lei with some palpitations: "It's almost impossible to get the big living people away, if it's a corpse, it's difficult to hide people's eyes and ears in this kind of commercial area, unless the corpse is divided-"
Lin Lei interrupted Lu Yun's "speculation": "Don't rush to analyze first, I can't be sure what the nature of this case is, I must investigate it first." ”
Lu Yun knew that what Lin Lei said was reasonable, so he nodded: "Hmm." If it's not a homicide, then it's a human trafficking case?"
"Who knows?" Lin Lei replied lightly, "Let's take a walk around Pyeongchang Street—I want to see what's going on on this street!"
Lu Yun is a policeman, not a little girl, and of course she will not be afraid: "Well, it's a good idea for us to understand the situation on the street first." ”
Lin Lei stretched out his hand, took Lu Yun, and "disguised" as lovers - in fact, they were lovers in the first place, and walked step by step to the depths of Pingchang Street......
Along the way, there are the most souvenir shops.
Mongla is famous for its handmade silk fabrics, which are sure to come and buy from foreign tourists.
Beef and horn products are also specialties here, and there are many shops on the street.
And then there's the restaurant.
The most popular restaurant on Pyeongchang Street is the variety of local snacks that attract a large number of tourists.
It's past dinner time, so many shops are closed or closing......
