Chapter 96: A fragment the size of a grain of rice
Coincidentally, at this time, Huiyi came with the old Huo Tou couple who were looking after the nursing home. Xiao Jiading hurriedly took the women out to meet.
This old Huo Tou couple is about fifty or sixty years old, very energetic, and looking at the figure, you can know that the work of the Tao should not be weak. Huiyi gave an introduction and left. Xiao Jiading asked Lao Huotou about his salary when he used to be a nurse, and gave him a slight increase, and Lao Huotou and his wife were very happy, and said that they would do their best to protect the safety of their families.
She arranged a place for them to live, and then came back to play cards. A few women had just learned and were very interested, so Xiao Jiading asked the four of them to fight, while he was on the side. I played until late at night, and then I dispersed. When it was scattered, Xiao Jiading asked Crazy Mei to find time to re-customize a payment, and introduced the size and thickness of the mahjong tiles, so that they could customize them according to the requirements.
Back in the bedroom, although it was very late, Crazy Mei still pestered the Xiao family for a while, and then hugged each other and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Xie Cunzheng and they came, Xiao Jiading arranged for Nian Mei and Su Yunxia to take the maids Xiaomei and Yun Yan, under the escort of Lao Huo Tou, to follow them to the field to inspect the stone mountains and barren slopes, Xiao Jiading asked them to draw down the specific location of the location. The family left Aunt Yuan and the maid Nenzhu to watch the house.
Seeing them off, Xiao Jiading came to the yamen and waited for a while, Mo Feipeng and they came, so the four of them continued to investigate the serial rape and murder case.
They arrived at the village where the victim of the second case was. After finding the victim's family, inquiring about the situation, and inspecting the scene, it was found that the place where the victim was raped and killed was on the side of a large road leading from the village to Yizhou City, which was the main passage for nearby villagers to enter the city. So there are a lot of people coming and going. The place where the body was found was just over ten steps from the main road, behind a large rock. The sound of pedestrians laughing on the road can be heard clearly. The murderer chose such a place where people come and go, which shows that this murderer is bold and reckless to the point of perversion!
After inspecting the second scene, although there were no new discoveries, Xiao Jiading had a deeper understanding of the criminal personality of the murderer, which could also help him roughly outline the character of the criminal, and gradually had a new direction of investigation.
When they returned to the city, it was already noon. Xiao Jiading invited everyone to eat together. Mo Feipeng began to refuse. But seeing that Xiao Jiading was very enthusiastic, he agreed, because he wanted to continue to handle the case in the afternoon, so he didn't drink.
Had lunch. They didn't rest. Then I went to the victim's house in the third case.
Both sisters in this family were raped and killed. It was like a huge dark cloud that hung over the family's head all the time. When they came to this house under the leadership of Li Zheng, they could still deeply feel this kind of sadness.
Explain the meaning. No one in the family spoke. The grandfather and father of the deceased each squatted in the corner, hanging their heads silently, and the mother sat there wiping her tears. The youngest son looked at them with wide eyes, wondering what was going on.
At the end, it was the grandfather of the deceased who spoke first, he sighed, and said, "The two girls have always gotten up early, and they have to go to pour vegetables early and sell them at the market. So we have to get up before dawn. But when I got up that day, and saw that their doors were tightly closed, I went up and knocked. But when I didn't hear any movement, I shouted a few times, but when I didn't answer, I felt that something was wrong, so I knocked on my son's door. After the daughter-in-law got up, she stabbed the window and looked inside the paper room, and immediately fainted. My son hurried to hold her, and I went up to look at her, and I saw ...... Alas! Two granddaughters...... It's dead! Both of them were naked, and the second granddaughter was on the ground, with her feet and hands spread out, and there was a large pool of blood below. The second granddaughter was on the bed, with her feet under the bed, and there was blood ...... underneath."
Speaking of this, the old man choked up and couldn't say any more, hugged his head and cried.
Mo Feipeng said: "Are the doors and windows closed?" ”
The father of the deceased nodded: "Yes! The door was knocked open by us, and the windows were good, except for a hole in the roof. The thief must have come down from the roof. My poor daughter. ”
Mo Feipeng asked again: "Do you have any enemies?" ”
The mother of the deceased finally spoke: "We are also vegetable sellers and help people work, and we have always welcomed people with a smile, where can there be any enemies?" ”
"Is there anyone who wants to beat your daughter?"
"This ......, when my daughter grows up, she is naturally some people who want to take advantage."
"Who are they? Said one by one. ”
When the parents of the deceased recalled the pervert who might have been interested in their daughter, Xiao Jiading was a little unimpressed. Because since it has been determined that it was a wandering crime, it is unlikely that it will be interested in which victim for a long time, and the randomness of the crime is relatively large. However, the possibility that Mo Feipeng said cannot be completely ruled out. So Xiao Jiading listened to them quietly.
After Mo Feipeng asked, he said to Xiao Jiading: "I want to investigate the whereabouts of these people that day." May I? ”
He asked this with a somewhat indifferent attitude, and it seemed that he was still not convinced that he would obey a man much younger than him. Xiao Jiading thought to himself, it's not that I want to be the co-ordinator, and this is not a specific official position, that is, a temporary person in charge, so what is there to be unconvinced. However, this case involves two places, and it is necessary to work together. So he suppressed the fire in his heart, and still smiled: "Mo Zhiyi is polite, of course there is no problem." However, it is a little late, and there are more people to investigate, so let's go to the periphery to investigate, and we will continue to ask their families, and then take a good look at the scene. ”
"Okay!" Mo Feipeng didn't say much, and followed Li Zheng with Qiu Zhutou.
Siu asked the parents of the deceased to tell them where they lived. The family is not very good, living in a small bungalow without a yard, three rooms, the parents are in the middle, and the younger son lives together, the sisters live on the right, and the grandfather lives on the left. There is also a wood-paneled bungalow for the kitchen.
Xiao Jiading came to the door of the room on the right, and the door was locked.
He looked at the two houses and asked the parents of the deceased, "You live next door to your daughter, and there is only a plank next door, so don't you hear any noise?" ”
Both husband and wife shook their heads together, this question had been asked before, and they had been recalling, trying to remember what unusual noise, but unfortunately there was not.
This made Xiao Jiading feel very surprised, it stands to reason that two people were being raped and killed here, and their parents were holding their hands next door, and they didn't hear any movement. This seems a bit unbelievable.
As he pondered, the deceased's father took out the key and opened the door. He stood in the doorway, and although there was a gap of a month or two, he could still faintly smell a smell of blood. Asked, "Has this house been cleaned?" ”
"It's just that the blood stains have been cleaned, and the others have not been touched, and they are still the same as before. After the tragic death of the girl, the room was locked all the time, because her mother cried every time she went to the door to see the house. ”
"Has the blood been rinsed?"
"Yes. Washed with water and dragged through with a mop. ”
Xiao Jiading secretly thought in his heart, he washed it with water, but he could still smell blood, probably because the room had been closed, and there was another reason, that is, there should be a lot of blood!
Xiao Jiading asked again: "Old man, did the two granddaughters bleed a lot from their lower bodies?" ”
"Hmmm! There are not many eldest daughters, only a few points, that is, there are many second daughters. A large puddle on the ground. ”
"How big is it?"
The old man squatted on the ground and drew a little. Xiao Jiading was dumbfounded for a moment, such a big pool can already be regarded as a pool of blood! Both girls should be virgins, will there be a lot of blood in the broken places? He remembered the first time with Crazy Mei, only the stars. Then there is only one possibility,—— rape damaged the large blood vessels of the deceased's lower body!
Xiao Jiading searched for useful clues on the ground and on the bed, but found nothing. He looked up at the roof and saw that it had been repaired and replaced with new shackles. The damage can be clearly seen.
Xiao Jiading asked them to bring a ladder, put it on the beam, and climbed up to inspect it.
When I went up to the beam, I found that the light was so dark that I couldn't see clearly, so I asked me to prepare a lantern.
The lantern was brought quickly, and with the lighting of the lantern, it was easier to see now, because this was an old house, and there was a lot of dust on the beams, and there were traces of rubbing on several beams from the broken places. Seeing this, Xiao Jiading was suddenly nervous and excited, could it be that this is the clue in the legend?
Wait, could it be left by the people who repaired the roof? He turned back to the deceased's grandfather and asked, "The one who repairs the roof, does he repair it above or below?" ”
"There are people up and down."
Xiao Jiading's heart suddenly cooled. If so, then it is possible that these marks were left by the person who repaired the roof, and then there is no point.
Still, he used the lantern to look closely, thinking about what to expect.
But he died again, and those were only scratches on the dust, and they didn't even leave even half a shoe print! There are no fingerprints.
As he was about to descend the ladder in frustration, he saw the edge of a small beam near the roof, which seemed to be clinging to the edge, and a small scratch mark on the inside. He took the lantern and observed it for a while, and found that it was a small charred fragment the size of a round grain of rice!
How could there be such a thing on the beams of the house?
Xiao Jiading observed for a long time, and his eyes were glazed, and he didn't see what it was. So he asked Dai Zhutou below to find a blank piece of paper for him, and took the thing off and wrapped it.
After finding nothing new, he got down the ladder, clapped his hands, and said to Mo Feipeng, "Let's go!" ”
They found Mo Feipeng and the others, and after meeting them, they continued to inquire together, but there was no result.
By evening, they had finally concluded their investigation. (To be continued......)
