5. Sinking corpses
The convenience store is not far from the lake, and there are several bars nearby, which are most lively at 10 a.m. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Did you see this person at about seven o'clock last night?" Situ Xun has asked Chen Dongming's photo to be sent to his mobile phone.
"Seven o'clock last night?" The clerk took Situ Xun's mobile phone and looked at it carefully for a while, "Well, remember, he asked for two cups of coffee, you know, it is rare to use that kind of card for consumption here." The clerk said as he made a stroke.
"You mean his platinum card, don't you?"
"Well, yes, that's it, he told me at the time that the card was a limited edition, it's rare."
"Oh, and how was he feeling at the time?"
"Well, it seems to be pretty good, grinning."
"Did he come with two people?"
"No, it's just one person, but he asked for two cups of coffee, I think there should be another person, if it was one person, then he wouldn't have asked for two different flavors of coffee." The clerk recalled.
"What does the other guy look like, do you see it?"
The clerk shook his head, "No, he came in alone." ”
"Well, thank you then." After Situ Xun asked, he touched his forehead with his hand before he and Fang Da walked out of the convenience store. "If Chen Dongming is really with Zeng Ming, then where did the two of them go after selling coffee?"
Fang Da looked at the dark ghostly Qianhu Island next to him, and walked towards the lake without saying a word, Qianhu Island was very quiet after nightfall, even if it was already midsummer, there would still be a chill when walking along the lake, and after walking along the lake for a while, the noise of the small night market had become a little light.
"What are you doing here?" Situ Xun followed behind Fang Da while being careful about his feet, and after leaving the range of the small night market, there were no lights on the lake, and he couldn't see his fingers in the dark.
"Take a walk." "Don't you think it's a great place for a quiet walk?" ”
"Do you suspect they're here?" Situ Xun accidentally almost tripped over the stone under his feet, "It's too dark." ”
"Isn't it just right to be black?" Situ Xun didn't know what Fonda's expression was when he said this, he only felt that it was pitch black in front of him, which made him wonder if he had night blindness.
"Alright, let's go back." Suddenly, Fonda turned around and walked back.
"Now go back, we haven't found a clue yet?"
"Even if you want to find a clue, you have to tomorrow." Fonda said as he began to walk back. "Let someone search this place tomorrow."
"You mean......" Situ Xun looked back at the moonlit lake, the deep black was dotted with a little moonlight, it was undeniable that this was indeed the best place to commit the crime, except for a simple dock, there were almost no other artificial facilities, the two of them had walked here for so long, and they hadn't even met a person, it seemed that Chen Dongming was very likely to be more auspicious.
Just when Fang Da and Situ Xun notified the headquarters to send someone to Qianhu Island to search, Wang Ni also returned to the rental house rented by herself and Zeng Ming, although this twenty square size single room was simple, but it was also neatly packed by Wang Ni, just the moment she gently closed the door, she felt that she couldn't hold on anymore, whether it was a long-term persistence or a dream, everything was about to collapse, suddenly her knees weakened, she fell to her knees, and yelled like a beast.
Wang Ni didn't know how long she was crying like this, she felt tired and fell asleep directly on the ground, she really didn't feel so tired again, she even had a dream, in the dream she was wearing a snow-white wedding dress, kept running, but she didn't know where she was going, she could only keep running, until the last scenery around her suddenly disappeared little by little, only a dazzling white light was left in front of her, suddenly, she opened her eyes. It turned out that it was already bright.
She looked at the time, she had been asleep for almost two hours, and she would go to the hospital in a while, she quickly washed her face and changed into clean clothes, although the doctor said that she would not know when he would wake up, but she still hoped that if Zeng Ming woke up, she would still see a spirited self.
Wang Ni rushed back for another reason, because she learned yesterday that the owner of the handbag in Zeng Ming's hand was still in a state of disappearance, Wang Ni knew from the expression of the police that they suspected that Zeng Ming was not just stealing a handbag, although the police did not say it explicitly, but the implication was already obvious. So she must rush back as soon as possible, she doesn't believe that Zeng Ming will do such a thing as murder and robbery, but if Zeng Ming wakes up, she must be by his side, now is not the time to be weak, there are still many things that she needs to bear, thinking of this, she subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, and felt a lot more solid in her heart.
The police came quickly, the next day was just dawn, a team of police cars had already driven into the small night market, the early morning night market looked particularly depressed, compared with last night, it was not like a place, only a few breakfast shops were open, and there were only a few people rushing to work inside, it seemed that only young people went in and out of the place early morning is the quietest time.
The two of them nested in Situ Xun's small broken car until dawn, and the noise of sirens tore through the silence around them.
When the police searched for Chen Dongming with all their might, Fang Da stood far away on the pier he found yesterday, watching the two teams of frogmen carry out a carpet search under the water from two directions, the lake water on Qianhu Island in the early morning was very cold, and there was no feeling of summer at all, but the two frogmen were very dedicated, and after arriving at the designated location, they went directly into the water without saying a word, and at this moment Fang Da's respect for them came spontaneously.
Situ Xun also joined the search team, and Fang Da kept staring at the dozen or so wooden boats buckled to the shore next to the pier, these boats were supposed to be used by tourists to swim in the lake, it is estimated that they were not well managed, so now they are all discarded on the shore, these small boats are not very large, they are all for 2-4 people.
"What are you thinking?" Situ Xun came to Fang Da's side, saw that he was looking at the cruise ships on the shore in a daze, and walked up.
"There are no other docks around here, if Zeng Ming wants to throw the body into the lake, he can only use these pleasure boats, but ......" Fang Da felt that his guess was a bit too far-fetched, although the cruise ships were not very large, and a person could push them into the water, but with Zeng Ming's stature, it was still a bit difficult, not to mention that there was a corpse.
At this moment, the news came from the frogmen, they found an object that appeared to be a corpse wrapped in a bag of material underwater, and now they are preparing to arrange for salvage.
"Looks like you guessed right again this time." Situ Xun said in a deep voice, Fang Da knew that he was feeling sorry for Wang Ni, stealing and murder and robbery were completely two different concepts.
Soon an object wrapped in mud was dragged ashore, Fang Da and Situ Xun immediately surrounded it, it was an object wrapped in several layers of material bags, from the appearance, nine times out of ten it was a corpse, now it just needs to be opened to confirm whether it is Chen Dongming wrapped in the plastic bag.
When the plastic bag was opened layer by layer, everyone present exclaimed, "It's too cruel!" ”
Even the forensic doctor was stunned for a moment before starting to work, although the temperature of the lake was very low, but the corpse had begun to swell, and the corpse's face was smashed to pieces by hard objects, and there was no appearance of a face at all, only a mess of flesh and skin. Fonda couldn't bear to look at it, and tilted his face slightly to the side.
"The murderer still has anti-reconnaissance capabilities, you see, he destroyed the fingerprints of the victim's ten fingers." The medical examiner said as he examined the corpse's hands to take fingerprints.
Sure enough, the skin and flesh on the ten fingers of the corpse were no longer distinguishable, "Do you know what method caused it?" Situ Xun stepped forward and squatted next to the forensic doctor to carefully observe the ten fingers of the corpse.
"The situation was most likely burned with fire."
"Burned?" Situ Xun raised his eyebrows, "I can imagine this, the murderer's anti-investigation ability is not low." ”
"Well, if the murderer has not been found, but a body has been found first, it will really take a little time to confirm the identity." The medical examiner said very seriously.
"Was his fatal injury these blows to the head?" Situ Xun pointed to the part that could no longer be called his face.
"Now it seems that the fatal wound should have been a knife wound to the abdomen, which should have pierced the deceased's spleen directly, causing massive bleeding and death, and the wounds on his face should have been made with stones after death to prevent people from being recognized." The medical examiner said as he pointed to the oval-shaped stones that were wrapped around the corpse.
"What about the murder weapon? Where is the murder weapon? ”
"Not yet." The medical examiner said. "The rest will have to be autopsied before the report can be released."
"If it's a ruptured spleen, why isn't there any blood around here?" Situ Xun said in wonder.
The forensic doctor pointed to the bag of material wrapped in the dead body and said: "It is estimated that the murderer pulled out the murder weapon after wrapping the corpse, so that because the blood will begin to coagulate after death, when you pull out the murder weapon in the abdomen again, there will not be a lot of blood flowing out." ”
"Report to the captain, there's bloodstains over there."
Situ Xun and Fang Da hurriedly walked towards the scene where the crime was found, there were no blood stains at the scene, only a few black blood spots, the scene was overgrown with weeds, there were no traces of a fight, and there were not even footprints.
Situ Xun stood up in disappointment, he looked at Qianhu Island with no end in sight, and thought to himself, if the murderer really threw the murder weapon in the lake, it would not be tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
