Lu Cheng drove alone to the outskirts of the city, more than 50 kilometers away.

The fat man and several other men had already arrived at the scene.

That place was beyond the scope of Shencheng City, but this was only a private investigation by Lu Cheng, and there was no clear evidence and action target, so he only briefly communicated with the local public security bureau, and the local public security still sent a person to cooperate with their investigation in accordance with the rules.

is the police officer of the police station who is mainly responsible for this area, Guo Xu.

Guo Xu looks less than thirty years old, and he is still a young man.

"Very few people come to this area, it used to be a village and towns, and young people have moved away. There are only sporadic peasant households. The government is ready to re-plan and can develop tourist resorts. ”

"Oh......" Lu Cheng listened as he searched for a similar house according to the appearance of the house in his memory. Are the houses in this area all about the same size? ”

Looking into the distance, there are a few old houses scattered on the hillside and the edge of the wasteland.

But most of them are ordinary cement self-built houses, and they don't have the big house that Sun Hui saw in her dream that day.

I have the impression that the area of the house is at least 300 square meters.

But in this middle of nowhere, even if it was once a town, it would be enough for someone to build a house of this size.

"It's all so big, the houses built by farmers themselves, they are all about the same, how big is the house that Deputy Lu is looking for?"

Lu Cheng didn't answer him directly, he knew that if he said what he thought, he could only get a negative answer, and maybe he would be misunderstood by someone at a young age that he had no common sense.

But it doesn't matter, what matters is the house in my memory.

He called the fat man.

Before Lu Cheng came, the fat man had been taking other colleagues to visit farmers who were still living nearby.

"Marine, what orders?"

"Where are the first few photos you took of me, take me to see them, especially this one."

According to his memory, Lu Cheng found the one from dozens of photos that was closest to the one he looked out of the window, and the relative position of the scenery in the picture was similar to that in his memory, but it was a top-down view and a level-up view.

At this time, Guo Xu was still with them.

"Do you remember that there was a woman named Sun Hui in the town?"

"Sun Hui?" Guo Xu scratched his head, "If you are talking about the residents here, you have never heard of this name." If I say that no one has been here, then I can't say for sure, although I say that this is a suburban area and no one usually comes, then I can't guarantee that it is not. ”

It seems that Guo Xu has no impression of this name.

Sun Hui definitely doesn't live here, and her ID card is also out of town.

This has also been confirmed before, and Xiaomei has not given negative information yet.

Does she have anything to do with this......

Just as Lu Cheng was pondering, the fat man had already taken him to the place in the photo.

In front of him was a rushing river, opposite which was lined with woods and hillsides.

It was this place, he felt familiar.

In this way, the house should be in the ......

Lu Cheng immediately turned around.

The house should be on the other side of the river, behind him.

There is also a hillside behind it, but the slope is much gentler, and it can be seen as a flat land with a higher altitude.

There are two houses on flat ground, not far apart, but not very large.

One is a simple thatched house, while the other is a drilled cement house with white walls.

"We've seen both of these families, the doors are locked, and there's no one." As soon as the fat man looked at Lu Cheng's eyes, he knew that what he wanted to check were those two rooms.

"These two families have not lived in them for a long time, and they have long since moved out." Guo Xu added next to him.

Lu Cheng checked the doors of the two houses.

It's all locked, and it's all covered with cobwebs and moss. There are no traces of vandalism and sweeping.

No one has ever come.

A house without a visit can't be related to the case. Even if it's a corpse......

Lu Cheng looked through the dusty window.

Suddenly, he walked briskly to the back of the concrete house, where he found the back door of the house.

The back door is small and backlit, so no one will notice unless you look closely.

Just now, Lu Cheng felt through the glass window that the light in the room seemed to be flickering on and off, with some slight changes.

If the wind is not blowing the window, then another door or window is moving.

That's when he noticed the small door.

Lu Cheng took a closer look, and there was an old lock hanging at the door latch, which was rusty.

"There's been movement here." Lu Cheng blurted out. "Can you still contact the owner?"

Lu Cheng couldn't wait to go inside the house to take a look, and he had a strong premonition.

"This ...... I'll get in touch and take a look. Guo Xu knew very well what Lu Cheng wanted to do next, he had to make sure that this family did not live in it anymore, and it stands to reason that he needed to ask for permission.

Lu Cheng was standing next to him and waiting.

Twenty minutes passed.

Guo Xu hung up the phone.

"Can't be reached at the moment. Our director agrees......"

Lu Cheng immediately kicked open the small door, bent down with a gun, and carefully walked in through the small door.

There was no one in the house, and the other men followed him and entered the house one after another.

A choking smell wafted from somewhere in the house, and Lu Cheng frowned.

It's not a musty smell, it's a smell that only comes when living creatures are around...... It is ammonia, in layman's terms, it is the gas of biological excrement.

But as far as the eye could see, the house was empty, and there was not a single person.

The house is not two or three hundred square meters, but there are at least eighty or ninety square meters in size, and the entrance hall is still spacious. The hall is still decorated with old furniture, a dining table for eating, and a few benches. On the innermost side of the room, near the small door, there is a staircase that leads to the second floor.

Dining table, staircase......

It feels more and more familiar.

Lu Cheng turned around and walked to the stairs, ready to go upstairs.

Will there be a lot of rooms up there?

It can't be that many, there is only a total capacity of three rooms. Maybe in the innermost room......

Just as his mind was drawn to the upstairs room, the fat man shouted behind him, "Marine, there seems to be something here!" ”

"What?" Lu Cheng stopped and came down a flight of stairs he had just stepped on.

The fat man was still under the stairs, and he was staring carefully into the shadows at the back of the stairs. When he was patrolling around the stairs just now, he happened to step on this piece of ground, and the touch and hardness of the ground were obviously different from the surrounding concrete floor.

It is inconvenient for the fat man to bend over, so he simply squats down and touches it.

"It's a plank." After confirming, he turned his head and told Lu Cheng.

The appearance of the planks here is quite unusual. The whole house is poorly furnished, not to mention any decoration, and the ground is also a layer of cement pasted by the way, and there should not be a single wooden plank.

Moreover, when the fat man touched it with his hand just now, he found that this plank was not placed on the ground, but embedded in the ground, and it was part of the ground.

Lu Cheng also approached and squatted down to look, and the young police officer Huzi next to him handed him a flashlight.

The fat man took the flashlight, and Lu Cheng tried to pick the edge of the wooden board with his hand, find the right angle, and slowly lift it.

The moment the planks left the ground, everyone covered their mouths and noses.

Lu Cheng also immediately held his breath and held his breath.

The source of the smell has been found.

There is a basement here.

The second victim was found. There has been a major breakthrough in the case.

The person is still alive, only to faint from hunger and dehydration. This is the most gratifying thing for the entire Force.

Everyone was immersed in the joy of almost solving the case.

Now both suspects have been apprehended and the victim has been found. There should be no one who will be harmed because of this murderer, but the police still need to complete the evidence chain, confirm the key evidence, and obtain testimony.

When the female teacher Tong Xin was found, her whole body was tied with ropes, and the murderer tied her to a chair.

Next to it is a small wooden table, and on the table is B. Ether, scissors, rope, sacks and other tools of crime.

Fortunately, Tong Xin has not yet had her abdomen cut open like the previous victim.

She had no fatal injuries on her body, only a visible contusion on her head.

The police deduced that when the perpetrator met the victim Tong Xin, he first hit the victim on the head with a heavy object, causing her to faint in pain, and then used Yi Mi to cause her to faint.

It's just that after the perpetrator took Tong Xin to the basement on the outskirts of the city, he didn't kill Tong Xin immediately.

However, at this time, the perpetrator was detained by the police as a suspect to cooperate with the investigation.

It is precisely because of this that the perpetrator has no time to come back and deal with Tong Xin.

And because during this period, the police found important evidence that the suspect's vehicle appeared at the associated scene, that is, the surveillance video of the vehicle haunting near the school, and it was Tong Xin's off-duty time at that time. The owner of the vehicle, Li Weiming, was seriously suspected, so the detention period was extended and he was not released for the time being.

And his girlfriend Sun Hui also had a drug addiction attack and needs to be left to observe.

Tong Xin was tied up in the basement for nearly three days.

She couldn't break free, and no one gave her food. So much so that she was so hungry and thirsty that she could only excrete in her place.

This is also why Lu Cheng smelled a pungent odor as soon as he entered the house.

It can be said that the victim was greatly frightened and tortured, both physically and mentally.

She was rushed to the hospital as soon as she was rescued.

He is currently in frail condition and cannot cooperate with the investigation.

Speaking of which, the perpetrator was quite careless in the process of committing the crime this time, committing such a big case, killing someone, and not only preparing to kill one, but not hiding in a place that no one knows. Instead, the police found it step by step from the clues of the vehicle.

This kind of carelessness is more like a murder of passion, or a crazy act when she is addicted, in short, her brain is not very clear.

But judging from the location of her crime, the tools of the crime, and the modus operandi of the crime, it seems to have been planned for a long time.

This is a paradox.

Three days have passed, and the first suspect, Sun Hui, has already come to his senses.

It's just that she hasn't said a word since she woke up. She remained silent no matter what questions the police questioned her.

Just when everyone couldn't do anything about her, Lu Cheng received a phone call.

It's Shen Ran.

"Is the suspect awake?" Shen Ran is used to saying the key points when he opens his mouth, without too much politeness and nonsense.

Lu Cheng smiled, "How do you know, we are interrogating her." ”

"I counted the time." His answers were always short, but they surprised Lu Cheng.

He understood what Shen Ran meant, he didn't count that Sun Hui had woken up, but that they had probably found the victim and were dealing with the suspect at this time.

"Hmm. You're doing a good job. Lu Cheng unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, he wanted to see what Shen Ran would say this time.

"I want to see her." Shen Ran said directly.
