Chapter 254: Returning to China
The Nanguan ogre case that Lin Lei cracked before was only a case within ten years, and the case he was going to solve now turned out to be twenty years ago?!
Twenty years ago, what is the concept of the dusty unsolved case?
Not to mention that the scene of the crime is definitely not there, even whether the suspect is still alive or not is two words!
If it was a case twenty years ago, it would have been the nineties of the last century, which is already a very distant era......
Without waiting for everyone to react, Lu Yun glanced at Lin Lei, and was the first to ask: "Lin Lei, what kind of case is it, it hasn't been solved for 20 years, and now it's going to be restarted again?"
Lu Yun was born in the public security system, and she is very clear about the case handling process of the public security department. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Generally speaking, if there is no progress at all in a case within a year or two, then it will be temporarily shelved and waiting for new clues to avoid wasting police resources.
This is not to say that the case is ignored, but that it is temporarily "shelved" in the absence of new leads.
This is a common practice of the police all over the world, if the police all go to investigate the cases of decades ago, day and night, then those cases that are happening now, still care?
If you want to reopen a dusty case, it usually means that there is a new clue to the case all of a sudden......
Lin Lei shook his head and denied the "premise" that Lu Yun said: "There are no new clues in this case, and the chief heard that I won the title of 'detective', so he asked me to try to solve this case." This case has a great impact and can be said to be the most famous unsolved case since the founding of the People's Republic of China......"
As soon as she said the "most famous" unsolved case, Lu Yun immediately knew what the case was!
"You said the Dongda corpse crushing case?!" Lu Yun took a deep breath, opened his eyes wide, and looked at Lin Lei like a monster......
Lin Lei frowned, nodded and said, "Well, it's the Dongda corpse crushing case." ”
Li Xiaoan and Gu Li were both small people in China before, and they rarely read newspaper news or anything, so they didn't have much impression of this case.
But Lu Yun knows very well the weight of this case, and it can be made the first unsolved case in China, which shows that the case is serious.
"Boss, tell me and Gu Li, what kind of case is the Dongda corpse crushing case?" Li Xiaoan couldn't wait to ask.
Gu Li glanced at Li Xiao'an, really worried about his IQ: "Xiao An, why don't you have a brain? The name of the case is Dongda Corpse Crushing Case, it must be a vicious corpse crushing case!"
Li Xiaoan immediately gave Gu Li a blank look: "I want you to say! I still know it! The key is that I seem to be familiar with this case, as if I have seen it somewhere or who have I heard about it?"
"Huh-" Gu Li slapped his head violently, as if he remembered something, "Li Xiaoan doesn't say that I can't remember it, I seem to have seen such a news on the Internet once." ”
Gu Li recalled for a few seconds, and then said: "The news seems to say that 20 years after the crime, the victim's sister came to Dongfang City again to inquire about the police investigation!
Lin Lei took out a point-eight water bay, lit it, and lightly spit out a smoke ring: "This case is very old, and the case is too complicated, I can't finish it in an hour......
Li Xiaoan pleaded with Lin Lei: "Boss, tell us about it!"
Lin Lei pondered that he was going to return to China to solve this case anyway, so it didn't hurt to talk about it.
Lin Lei sorted out his thoughts and began to tell about the Dongda corpse crushing case that shocked the whole country and became the "number one unsolved case in China".
This case is a long story, and it has to start from 20 years ago.
In the mid-90s, there was a female student named Ai Qing who had only been enrolled for half a semester at Dongfang University in Dongfang City, a municipality directly under the central government.
Ai Qing was born in March 1976 and is a typical introverted rural girl from a county-level city near the East.
In September 1995, after taking the college entrance examination for the second time, he entered the full-time teaching class (junior college) of the Department of Information Management of Oriental University.
On Wednesday, January 10, 1996, Ai Qing, who had been enrolled for 3 months (according to school records, Ai Qing only came to report 1 month after the start of school, so it was 3 months of enrollment), asked for leave and did not attend the afternoon class, and Ai Qing left the school alone after dinner.
According to eyewitnesses, Ai Qing was last seen on Qingdao Road on the edge of Dongda, where she was wearing a red coat that was common to women at the time.
After 9 days, there was no information about Ai Qing.
On January 18, heavy snowfall fell in Dongfang City.
In the early morning of January 19, in an alley near Xinjiekou in the center of Dongfang, a garbage sweeper picked up a bag of meat in the south of Dongda. At first, the aunt thought that the bag contained pork, so she took the meat home to be washed and prepared to "eat" herself.
Lin Lei feels a chill in his back every time he thinks of this picture, this clean aunt is too strong - uh, I can't describe her courage to eat strange pieces of meat - anyway, Lin Lei asked himself if he couldn't do it.
However, Lin Lei also knew that in the mid-nineties, the living standard in Dongfang City was not high, and people were living a tight life, maybe the cleaning aunt had always had the habit of "cherishing food......
Just when this cleaning aunt was "scrubbing, scrubbing, scrubbing", three fingers suddenly washed out of the meat block!
All of a sudden, the "tough" cleaning aunt was also scared silly and immediately called the police.
A large number of police officers arrived at the scene and immediately began a search around the garbage dump. Bodies, bones, internal organs, etc., were found in some nearby places, and the victim's head and blood-stained clothes were eventually found in a sewer three kilometres from the site of the first discovery.
After a preliminary investigation, especially with clothes and a head, the police quickly identified the victim as a freshman at Dongfang University, Ai Qing.
It is said that this is just an ordinary murder case, and it is not uncommon. But one detail of the case is destined to be extraordinary.
In the end, the police collected more than 2,000 body parts!
This is simply anti-human!
In general, the murderer of the corpse mutilation case often divides the body into the so-called "big unloading of eight pieces", and the murderer of the Dongda corpse crushing case actually cut the corpse into more than 2,000 pieces neatly.
For a time, the east shook, and the whole country shook!
After the incident, the police invested a lot of police force to carry out a large-scale investigation on and off the campus of the University of Tokyo, and some professors with misconduct and male teachers who lived alone were listed as key suspects, and because the body was cut into more than 2,000 pieces, butchers, cooks, and even doctors were also investigated.
The investigation around Ai Qing's social relations also went on for a long time, and in the end there was no result.
In the end, the police spent a lot of manpower and material resources, but they did not find any clues about the murderer.
After all, the time of the crime was more than 20 years ago, and at that time there was no surveillance, no DNA comparison technology, and relatively backward technical investigation methods.
The culprit is like an invisible man, leaving the police at a loss.
This case has had a great impact and has always been called the number one unsolved case in China......
Lin Lei only briefly introduced the situation of the case, and the specific facts of the case need to be returned to China to see the file.
After listening to the introduction of the case, everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was a little dull for a while.
How can this kind of headless case more than 20 years ago be investigated?
The Nanguan ogre case that was solved before at least has the entry point of the Mingda Group, but now the "Dongda Corpse Crushing Case" that is going to be solved is a real dusty unsolved case, and there is no clue.
Lu Yun frowned and thought for a long time, and finally smiled bitterly: "Lin Lei, this case is ...... I'm afraid there's not much hope. ”
Lin Lei took out a point-eight water bay, lit it, and lightly spit out a smoke ring: "Try it! I don't hope much, but such a difficult case is also the first time I have encountered it in my life." ”
Lu Yun nodded: "Well, I've been abroad for so long, it's good to go back to China to take a look." ”
Soon, the matter of returning home was so happily finalized.
……
Three days later.
Dongfang Hongqiao International Airport.
Dongfang City is one of the four municipalities directly under the central government of China, which is a more prosperous megacity than Nanguan City.
As soon as Lin Lei, Lu Yun, Gu Li and Li Xiaoan came out of the terminal, they immediately saw the police from the Dongfang City Public Security Bureau coming to greet them.
The police officer, who was in his forties and was wearing a police uniform, immediately greeted Lin Lei as soon as he saw him.
Lin Lei didn't have to think about it, he knew that he was Officer Wang who came to greet his group.
Lin Lei already knew that the person in charge of the reopening of this case was Officer Wang of the Third Division of the Criminal Investigation Corps of the Dongfang City Public Security Bureau.
Being able to recognize Lin Lei at a glance, it is obvious that Officer Wang has also done his homework, at least knowing Lin Lei's appearance.
"Hello, Officer Wang. Lin Lei greeted Officer Wang very politely.
Officer Wang glanced at Lu Yun and the others behind Lin Lei, and then locked his gaze on Lin Lei: "Superintendent Lin is really a young talent, I feel very young when I look at your information, I didn't expect to be famous when I met!"
Lu Yun beside Lin Lei smiled slightly: "Uh, is Lin Lei famous?"
Officer Wang stretched out his thumb and exclaimed: "Superintendent Lin has only been in the ICPO for more than two months, and he has cracked two major cases in one fell swoop, and he has been directly promoted from a second-level detective to a superintendent, which really brings glory to our China." ”
Officer Wang selectively omitted the word "third-level" in Lin Lei's position of "third-level superintendent" and directly called him "Superintendent Lin", which is also the norm in the workplace and does not need to be repeated.
Lin Lei waved his hand again and again and said to Officer Wang: "Officer Wang doesn't have to be polite. Although I work for Interpol, it is incumbent upon me to return to China immediately if there is a need in my country. ”
"Superintendent Lin, the bureau has arranged for you and your party to stay in the designated hotel of the Dongfang City Public Security Bureau, let's go now!" After some greetings, Officer Wang suggested that Lin Lei stay in the designated hotel arranged by the Public Security Bureau.
Lin Lei shook his head and said, "I was also a police officer before, and I know that the bureau's funds are relatively tight. This time, I came to assist the Dongfang City Public Security Bureau to solve the case, and I can pay for it at my own expense, and there is no need for public expense. ”
Officer Wang's face was a little embarrassed all of a sudden, and he was a little unsure of what Lin Lei meant: "Superintendent Lin, this-...... you?"
Lin Lei knew that Officer Wang had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "Officer Wang, don't misunderstand, I don't mean anything else." It's just that I don't know how much time it will take to investigate this case, and I have brought so many assistants, and it is not easy to reimburse all the public funds......"
As soon as he heard this, Officer Wang understood what Lin Lei meant.
Lin Lei didn't dislike the poor accommodation conditions, but it wasn't certain how long it would take to solve the case, plus he also brought Gu Li and Li Xiaoan, so he was really embarrassed to live in a publicly-funded hotel......
As soon as Lin Lei said this, Officer Wang did not persuade him again: "In that case, then it is all Superintendent Yilin! Anyway, we are all family!"
Lin Lei smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Well, it's all a family." Officer Wang, go back to the bureau now and make a copy of all the files of the Dongda corpse crushing case. I've booked the Sheraton hotel and we'll call you later. ”
Officer Wang was stunned: "Superintendent Lin, the comrades in the bureau office have arranged a luncheon to pick you up and wash the dust...... Well, it's just a working meal, and it doesn't exceed the standard. ”
Lin Lei waved his hand and refused: "Officer Wang, it's not that I don't understand the world, but this case is a dusty case, and the chance of cracking it is not great, try not to make too much noise!"
Lu Yun also interjected on the side: "What Lin Lei said is right, I hope Officer Wang will be considerate." ”
Officer Wang frowned slightly, and quickly agreed: "Okay, everything is Superintendent Yilin." I'll go back to the bureau right now to get the case file, and we'll call you later. ”
After saying that, the two left phone calls for each other, and Officer Wang drove away.
Lin Lei turned down all reception matters, in fact, there was a reason.
As he said earlier, it is not time to make a big move.
After all, whether this case can be solved or not is still two words, and the probability of cracking it is obviously very small, what kind of "welcome ceremony", staying in people's publicly-funded hotels, and finally not being able to solve the case, wouldn't it be a shame?
Although everyone knows the difficulty of this case, Lin Lei has to leave a way back for himself.
Pretending to be forced, that's not Lin Lei's style.
Pragmatism, yes.
Lin Lei and his entourage came to the Sheraton Hotel near Oriental University and settled down.
This five-star Sheraton Hotel is the closest big hotel to the scene of the crime, so Lin Lei chose this place.
Lin Lei booked four rooms, two suites, and two standard rooms on the 7th floor.
The suite is one room for Lin Lei and Lu Yun, and the standard room is one room for Gu Li and Li Xiaoan, and everyone lives from 702 to 705, that is, next door and opposite door.
After lunch, Lin Lei asked Li Xiaoan to go to the car rental company to rent a Ford Yihu car to use as a means of transportation.
The car is now parked in the hotel's underground car park and can be used when needed. After all, this is not Nanguan City, and Lin Lei can't take a taxi every time he goes out, and it's also very inconvenient to take a taxi.
This car is just a mid-range SUV, the size is just right, and the most important thing is that Lu Yun used to drive this car in Nanguan City......
