Of course, to find the crime vehicle, we still have to rely on the city's surveillance system.

Lao Lu extracted the surveillance video of traffic, police and the community, and began to investigate the suspect vehicle.

About a 3-minute drive away from the crime scene, there was a surveillance probe that allowed me to identify the suspect vehicle by extrapolating the time of the car and the shape of the car.

Although there are street lights under this monitoring probe, and the headlights of the car are also turned on, due to the blurry monitoring probe and insufficient lights, I can't see the license plate number of the car clearly.

If you can't read the license plate clearly, of course, it will have an impact on the detection. But even if I can't read the license plate, I can still identify the car based on some of the distinguishing features.

Thankfully, the suspect car has a distinctive feature.

On the left side of the front license plate, I noticed that there was a white reflective area on the black sedan.

I speculate that this reflective area is the car's paintwork, which has come off due to impact or the age of the car.

Based on this remarkable feature, we have been following the trail of the sedan and have captured the license plate of the sedan under the high-definition probe of the city.

The license plate is, of course, the focus of our investigation, and that's going to be discussed later.

Under as many as 37 surveillance probes, the suspect car appeared. This made me and Lao Lu more puzzled.

Lao Lu frowned and looked at the monitoring screen on the big screen that was divided into various small screens, and said puzzledly: "What does this murderer mean by going around the city?" Is it trying to confuse the police? ”

I paid close attention to the trajectory of the car, and I found that in the surveillance video on those forks, the suspect vehicle would slow down and hesitate, or even stop. Based on this situation, I said to Lao Lu with certainty: "No, the suspect is not as shrewd as you think. They are just a little stupid, I feel that this suspect is the first time or rarely to come to Wanzhou, he is very unfamiliar with the route of Wanzhou, plus the killing of people, the mood is nervous, causing him to drive the car around the city like a headless fly. ”

Old Lu pouted and nodded, "Makes sense." So according to what you say, the murderer should be from other places or other districts and counties? ”

I said, "Quite possibly." ”

We continued to track the vehicle on surveillance and found that the suspect car had finally left the main city and was heading for the highway out of the city.

At the toll booth of the highway, its surveillance probe captured the situation inside the car.

Inside the car, two men can be seen sitting in the cab and the co-pilot. However, due to the sky and lights, the faces of these two people are not very clear. And more importantly, both men put down the sunshade of the car. I can be sure that when these two people entered the toll booth, they were afraid of being photographed by the surveillance probe of the toll booth, so they lowered the sun visor in the car beforehand.

It seems that these two guys have some anti-reconnaissance capabilities, then I have to worry about whether their license plates are real or not.

Continuing to track the surveillance probe at the highway intersection, it was determined that the two were on the highway at the Kaizhou intersection, so I can roughly determine that the suspect vehicle is from Kaizhou.

The police then investigated the license plate of the suspect vehicle, and although it was determined that the license plate was real, it was a stolen license plate that had been filed with the police.

We found the owner of the license plate, who is also from Kaizhou. He told the police that just two months ago, his private car had been parked on the side of the road at night and the next day it was discovered that the front and rear license plates had been stolen. So I went to the DMV to reapply for a license plate, and went to the police station to report the case and filed the license plate.

After learning about this situation, I knew that this murderer was not an ordinary person, he should be a habitual offender, with strong anti-reconnaissance ability, maybe he was a person who made a living from crime.

In the office of the criminal investigation team, Lao Lu drank hot tea, looked at the case materials in his hand and said: "Ouyang, there are several clues to the investigation now, do you think we should start from that aspect?" ”

I sat on the sofa, my head drooped on the soft back of the sofa, looked at the ceiling and said: "Actually, the clue of this case is still very clear, from the suspect car got off the highway at the highway intersection in Kaizhou, and the license plate of the suspect car is also the license plate of the private car in Kaizhou, then we can basically determine that the suspect is operating in the Kaizhou area." There is also a suspect vehicle, the front of this car has obvious traces of paint stripping, so can we look for this suspect car in the road surveillance in Kaizhou according to this trace? Since the license plate of this car was stolen in Kaizhou, will this car not dare to use the stolen license plate when driving in Kaizhou? So will he use another deck, or even a real license plate? Of course, I want him to use the real license plate, so that it will be of great help to us to detect. ”

Lao Lu's hot tea was still steaming, and after listening to my analysis, he stood up suddenly, and because he stood too fast and too violently, some of the water in the teacup in his hand splashed out. However, Lao Lu, who was rough-skinned and thick-skinned, was not sensitive to this hot water, and he said with some excitement: "Ouyang, what you said makes sense. It is indeed an effective method to investigate the owner of the car by investigating the Kaizhou surveillance. ”

I smiled and said, "Now there are more and more monitoring probes, which really help a lot in the detection of cases." But to be honest, I don't really like this kind of crime-solving method, because I don't think it's too challenging. ”

Lao Lu shook his head and said: "Ouyang, your idea is wrong, the surveillance is dead, the investigator is alive, without the careful analysis of the investigator, how can you find out the traces of the murderer from these long surveillance videos?" Technology is developing, so the means of detection are constantly improving. ”

I didn't refute Lao Lu's words, because I felt that what he said made a lot of sense.

Lao Lu quickly mobilized manpower, and with the cooperation of the Kaizhou police, a large-scale investigation of the surveillance video of the previous month was conducted.

The results of the investigation were satisfactory, because the suspect vehicle with the paint off the front of the car quickly surfaced, and the good news was that the license plate of the car was indeed different from the one we found earlier.

The police investigated the license plate and found that the license plate was also genuine, and the owner of the car was a 33-year-old Kaizhou man, male, named Xiang Jiafu, unmarried, unemployed, and deaf and mute.

After Lao Lu saw the identity of this person, he was very strange, and he said to me: "This is a disabled person's vehicle, is it a stolen license plate?" ”

I frowned and said, "Anyway, let's find this person first." ”

However, through the full cooperation with the Kaizhou police, this deaf and mute person was still not found, and this person seemed to have evaporated from the world. What's even more strange is that this person doesn't have any relatives or friends, and even his parents are unknown.

How could there be someone with such a unique identity? Such an identity background has aroused the great attention and suspicion of the police, so they are still persevering in the search.

I lay on Lao Lu's desk, turning over and over the case file, I had never read the investigation of the case, the autopsy report and the investigation record of the case before. But this time, I watched it several times. Because I feel like we're missing something in the process of solving it. But for a while, I couldn't tell what I was missing.

"Ouyang, don't look at it, go out to lunch with me, and take a walk by the way." Lao Lu stood at the door of the office and said to me.

In fact, Lao Lu also saw that such a seemingly simple case actually stumped me. Of course, everyone knows that as long as Xiang Jiafu is found, maybe this case will be revealed. But everyone also understands that murderers often die in the world, change their faces, and hide for more than ten or twenty years, will this case also become an unsolved case that has dragged on for many years?

This is not what I want to see, because every time I think of the girl who died and was mistreated, my heart feels like it is being strangled by a rope, and the feeling is indescribable.

Outside the criminal investigation team, we found a random restaurant and ordered some side dishes to eat. After eating, Lao Lu saw that there was still some warm winter sun today, so he proposed to walk around, maybe a walk, which could alleviate the depression of the detective in recent days.

As we walked to a street square, a ragged and thinly dressed child appeared in front of us, crouching by the flower bed in the street square, munching on something in the winter sun.

Lao Lu looked at the child and walked over, I knew that Lao Lu was moved by compassion and wanted to help the child.

But when Lao Lu approached the child, the child suddenly raised his head, looked at Lao Lu's majestic appearance and police uniform, and suddenly trembled with fright.

Only then did I see that the child was holding a fresh loaf of bread, which seemed to have been bought for him by some kind person.

Lao Lu saw that his image frightened the child, and hurriedly took out 10 yuan from his pocket and handed it to the child.

Although the child's filthy face still revealed horror, he still mustered up the courage and stretched out his dirty little hand to take the 10 yuan in Lao Lu's hand.

After the child got the money, he immediately stood up, bowed to Lao Lu a few times, and made a whining sound in his mouth.

This 'woo-woo' sound is not something that a normal person can make, nor is it something that can be made by having bread in his mouth, and I conclude that the child is mute.

So I hurriedly asked, "Child, what's your name?" Where do you live? ”

The child shook his head vigorously, pointing to his mouth and still whining. and began to run to the side, he turned back while running, and bowed to Lao Lu from time to time.

Lao Lu shook his head and sighed, "Poor child. ”

This scene also made me a little sad, but I had a wonderful idea. The idea popped into my mind the moment I saw the mute child leave. So I said to Lao Lu: "Lao Lu, go, go to the forensic center immediately, I will re-conduct the autopsy of the deceased." ”

Lao Lu stared at me with wide eyes for a few seconds, and said, "Okay, go back to the police team, I'll drive." ”

Lao Lu didn't ask me why, because my two partners have been partners for so many years, and he understands that I have a new direction to detect.

In the coroner's room of the forensic center, with the cooperation of the forensic doctor, a small examination of the dead girl was carried out again.

The conclusion soon came out that the girl was deaf and mute.

After learning of this conclusion, Lao Lu asked me: "Does the deaf-mute have anything to do with the murder of the girl?" ”

I said: "The suspect is deaf and mute, and the suspect's identity is very special, and he has no relatives or friends. The deceased was also deaf and mute, and for so many days, there have been no reports of the deceased's disappearance. Then it is very likely that the deceased did not have relatives or friends. ”

Lao Lu was puzzled: "How can a person living in this world have no relatives, friends and parents?" ”

I said, "Yes, of course they do." It's just that they are artificially isolated, and the method of this isolation is that these deaf and mute people are abducted from childhood, causing them to be separated from their loved ones. ”

Lao Lu frowned and said nothing, looked at my face with a pair of deep eyes, and nodded slowly.

The direction of the investigation suddenly became clear, and the police began to investigate the deaf-mute community in Kaizhou.

The results of the investigation soon came out, and it turned out that there was a gang that specialized in using deaf and mute people for theft, robbery and begging. And most of the deaf and mute people in this gang were abducted into the gang since childhood.

In Chongqing, the core member of this criminal gang, Xiang Jiafu, was quickly arrested and brought to justice. He was also arrested with four suspects, all of whom were deaf and mute.

And the identity of the deceased also surfaced, she is also a member of this criminal gang, named Wu Xiulian, the specific origin is not clear, because she was abducted by traffickers since she was a child, and then sold to this criminal gang.

During the interrogation, Xiang Jiafu confessed to the murder of Wu Xiulian.

With the assistance of a sign language expert, he explained all the situation to Jiafu.

It turned out that Wu Xiulian was mainly responsible for begging, but because the weather was too cold and the members of the criminal gang often sexually assaulted and beat her, Wu Xiulian, who couldn't stand it, decided to escape.

However, her escape plan did not succeed, and she was instead captured and beaten again. After this beating, Wu Xiulian said that she would report Xiang Jiafu and his gang to the police. Xiang Jiafu was extremely angry in the face of Wu Xiulian's threat, so he and the gang members beat Wu Xiulian again. Unbeknownst to him, the beating was too heavy, causing Wu Xiulian to fall into coma and shock.

Although Xiang Jiafu was ruthless, he never thought of killing. So he drove to Wanzhou with one of his accomplices overnight with the unconscious Wu Xiulian, preparing to take him to the hospital. In order to hide from people, the license plate was also replaced with a stolen license plate.

When he came to Wanzhou, Xiang Jiafu found that Wu Xiulian was dying, and because of the beating, her body and head were covered with bruises. Xiang Jiafu was worried that he couldn't say it clearly when he went to the hospital, but he exposed himself. So he was ruthless and threw Wu Xiulian across the hospital, he hoped that someone would find Wu Xiulian and send her to the hospital across the road. However, Wu Xiulian's new and old injuries accumulated together, and the weather was cold. Eventually, he died of organ failure.

Although the deaf-mute criminal gang was dismantled, Wu Xiulian's grievances were settled. But this case left me with too much thought, the abduction of children is inherently unforgivable, and the abduction of disabled children and the use of them to commit crimes is an unforgivable crime.
