Chapter 35: Hell on Earth
Taking a step back, even if the suspect really had a way to coax Concubine Ye to go with him, it could only be a short distance, because it was impossible for him to take a six-year-old girl out of too far distance, which would easily arouse Concubine Ye's suspicion, and second, he would be witnessed by passers-by with the girl, causing unnecessary trouble to himself.
So when he kidnapped Concubine Ye, his transportation must have stopped somewhere near the bicycle shed, and it was an inconspicuous place where people could avoid people's eyes. Through the previous analysis of the suspect, Gu Song was even more convinced that the suspect's vehicle was a tricycle, which might be the tool he used to make a living.
According to this line of thinking, the technical team found the tire mark of the tricycle less than 30 meters away from the bicycle shed, although it is not 100% sure that this trace must have been left by the suspect, but judging from the current situation, this possibility is still very high.
Combined with all the information obtained so far, Huo Yan made a profile report in the shortest possible time, asking Zhao Hongshan to look for people with the following characteristics near the No. 1 Experimental Primary School in Jinshui County:
The suspect, male, is around 40 years old, about 170 cm tall, and has a thin body, most likely with lap legs. This person lives near the No. 1 Experimental Primary School in Jinshui County, is very familiar with the surrounding environment, is single, lives alone, and is very patient. Living in poverty, they may be engaged in low-income manual labor, working relatively free hours, and owning a rickshaw. Before abducting a girl, the person may have other criminal records, such as child molestation, voyeurism, sexual harassment, etc., and have a certain degree of anti-detection ability, but the level of intelligence should not be high......
After getting this profile report, Zhao Hongshan immediately arranged for his subordinates to start an investigation, and at the same time mobilized the police from the grassroots police station to assist them in finding eligible criminal suspects.
At midnight, almost half of the police in Jinshui County were engaged in this tense and busy work, competing with death for every minute and every second of precious time. They couldn't bear to imagine what Concubine Ye was going through at the moment, and they just wanted her to live safely and return to Director Xie and her family who missed her alive.
The investigation did not take long for the investigation to be carried out, and Director Wang of the Chuntian Street Police Station found a very valuable clue, saying that it was the area under his jurisdiction, and some time ago a new temporary sanitation worker came to collect garbage on the street on a rickshaw every day, and his range of activities coincided with the location of several children's disappearance. This person is in his forties, not tall, thin, honest, and does not speak with a local accent.
Gu Song believes that the sanitation worker in Director Wang's mouth should be the culprit who abducted Concubine Ye and the other three children, especially his special status, which provides him with extremely convenient conditions for tracking, abducting and transferring victims.
Imagine when a sanitation worker slowly and leisurely rides a tricycle full of garbage and appears in his work area, will pedestrians on the road be alert to his presence, and even feel the danger lurking around him? The answer is no, because pedestrians have long been accustomed to their presence and do not pay special attention to their behavior at all.
Therefore, he can naturally follow and approach the victims, or use some kind of trickery to lure the children to the tricycle and subdue them violently, or simply take them away while no one is looking, hide them on the tricycle, and cover them with something, so as to hide his crime well. He then used a tricycle to transfer the abducted child to his residence, where he would commit further offences when he had time to finish his work.
In other words, as long as the identity of the sanitation worker and his residence are ascertained, the police may be able to find Concubine Ye and the three children who disappeared before that.
According to the registration information of the suspect at his workplace, the suspect's name is Liu Quan, 41 years old, who began to be responsible for the garbage removal work around the No. 1 Experimental Primary School on June 16, 2017, and is currently living in a dilapidated bungalow at No. 114 Changlin Road.
The location is only 500 meters away from the mahjong parlor of Li Xiaolan's family, the victim of the first disappearance, which shows that he met the first target of the serial disappearance case at the door of his home, awakened the sleeping demon in his heart, and then went out of control.
At one o'clock in the morning, most of the residents living near Changlin Road were immersed in sleep, and no one knew that the street where they lived was inhabited by a vicious wolf in sheep's clothing. They had rubbed shoulders with the suspect, but never paid attention to the seemingly honest sanitation worker. Nor do they know that their children were lucky enough to escape only because their appearance did not match the suspect's special tastes.
Zhao Hongshan led a team of men to surround the suspect's residence, and when he silently counted down a few counts and made a breakthrough gesture to one of his subordinates, that person kicked open the broken door and rushed in first.
Then, four or five policemen in body armor swarmed in, and Gu Song followed them into the dark and dilapidated house. As soon as he entered, he smelled a foul odor that, judging by his years of work experience, was definitely the smell of a decomposing corpse.
"Team Zhao!" The policeman who rushed into the house first shouted in the inner room, "Liu Quan is not at home, but I found the children......"
It's the corpses of children, right? Gu Song said silently in his heart. Although he had expected such an outcome, his eyes were still uncontrollably moist. His movements slowed down, even slowed a little, and it took a great deal of courage to take each step forward.
There was a large wooden box in the room, and three corpses that had long been indistinguishable were stacked inside. A few months ago, they were still fresh lives, full of vigor and vitality, and they were the pearls of their families. But now, they are discarded like garbage in this dark and secluded corner, and such a cruel scene can only exist in hell, right?
Including Gu Song, all the policemen who witnessed this hell on earth gritted their teeth with hatred. Some people immediately scolded, completely ignoring their own image, and some people silently swore in their hearts that they must catch the mad demon no matter what, send him to court with the most direct evidence, and make him pay for the crimes he committed.
This price can only be exchanged for lives, and no other sentence is acceptable.
