Just as we were about to investigate the surrounding surveillance, Lao Lu's phone rang.

After Lao Lu answered the phone, he said to me with a heavy face: "There is a murder case." ”

So we immediately adjusted the direction of the investigation and went to the murder scene first.

The murder scene is located next to the township road, which is an abandoned factory with a large garbage dump area next to the factory. It was in this garbage heap that scavengers found a headless corpse.

At this time, the police cordon had been drawn at the scene, and an old man in ragged clothes was describing to a young police officer the circumstances of his discovery of the body. Of course, his description is an exaggeration, but in fact, while scavenging for scrap that can be sold for money, he found this bloody and headless male corpse.

I walked over to the corpse and looked around with a frown. It can be found that there is a distance of about 8 meters from the edge of the garbage dump to the location of the body, and the location of the body is relatively close to the high wall of the abandoned factory. This is obviously the murderer who threw the body here, and the location of the body is in the depths of the garbage heap, so that people will not be so easy to find.

The deceased was wearing a gray woolen turtleneck and a pair of cyan trousers, and because the hem of the dress was rolled up, the belt around the deceased's waist could be seen. The leather of the belt buckle and belt is quite exquisite, and it can be said that it is completely a luxury.

Although the leather shoes are full of dust, it can be seen that these leather shoes are also high-end leather shoes with excellent leather quality and fine workmanship.

I took a closer look at the deceased's clothes and trousers, and the quality was equally good.

From the dress of the deceased, I can surmise that the deceased was either rich or noble.

On the body of the deceased, nothing was found that would prove the identity of the deceased, and in the only trouser pocket, nothing was found.

The deceased's clothing was also not damaged, and no wounds were found on his body or limbs. Only the head of the deceased was missing. Then I can probably be sure that the fatal wound of the deceased was in the head.

The wound on the neck was examined, the flesh was torn, and the neck bone was fractured. I am sure that the deceased was cut off by the killer with a handsaw after he lost his breath, which is why such an incision occurred.

After examining the body spots, I was able to determine that the time of death of the deceased was between 10 and 11 pm yesterday night.

I stood up, thinking that there should be some clues to the corpse. I dragged my hand over my chin, gently tugged at my jaw, which was less than nine millimeters long, and nodded slowly.

I can be sure that the body must still have a coat, but no coat was found either on the body or near the garbage dump.

So who could this headless male corpse be? I have a bold idea, does this headless male corpse have any connection with the kidnapped Lao Liu? Could this headless male corpse be Lao Liu? Although I felt that this idea was a little unreliable, I still told Lao Lu about my unreliable idea.

Lao Lu looked at me sideways and said, "Ouyang, if you are a kidnapper, will you kill the hostages when you don't receive the ransom?" ”

I looked at Lao Lu and didn't speak, but I felt that this kidnapping was possible to kill the hostages. Because I had speculated that the kidnappers were acquaintances of the hostages, it was very likely that the kidnappers were going to kill people. But what Lao Lu said is not wrong, even if it is a murder, it should be implemented after getting the ransom.

So who is this headless male corpse?

I looked around the garbage dump and the abandoned factory, only to find that there was no surveillance probe here, and it seemed that this was the place where the murderer specially stepped on the dumping site.

On the way back to the criminal investigation team, I said to Lao Lu again: "Take the deceased's clothes to Lao Liu's family and make sure." ”

Lao Lu said while driving: "You are really stubborn today. ”

Back to the criminal investigation team, Lao Lu asked people to go to the forensic identification center to get the deceased's clothes.

In the afternoon, Ms. Lu and her daughter came to the criminal investigation team to take notes. In Lao Lu's office, I took the clothes and showed them to the mother and daughter.

Both mother and daughter stared at the clothes with wide eyes. Ms. Lu asked tremblingly, "Is this ...... Where did you get these clothes? ”

I frowned and said, "These clothes and pants, are they Lao Liu's?" ”

Ms. Lu covered her mouth with her skinny hand and nodded slowly.

I could feel Lao Lu's eyes widen at me at this time.

I walked out of the office, and then I heard the sound of mother and daughter crying in the office.

After that, the blood of Lao Liu's daughter was extracted, and their DNA was prepared to be compared to further determine the identity of the deceased.

Lao Liu, full name * rich, 51 years old this year, a native of Wanzhou, has been engaged in feng shui for more than 20 years. As for whether his I Ching Feng Shui technique is superstitious, I will not comment on it for the time being. However, for the evaluation of *rich himself, whether it is his relatives or customers, they are all praised.

The kidnapping and then brutal murder of such a person is indeed unexpected.

I stood in the corridor of the criminal investigation team, looking out the window thoughtfully, because I couldn't figure out why the kidnappers killed *rich when they didn't get the ransom? The only thing that can be imagined is that the kidnappers killed the hostages and were ready to give up the kidnapping on their own initiative.

"Ouyang, the kidnappers called again just now." Lao Lu walked out of the office and said to me.

I immediately threw away the cigarette butt and asked in surprise, "What?" Did you record it? ”

Lao Lu nodded.

I wondered in my heart, *Fudu is already dead, why did the kidnappers still call?

Walking into the office, Ms. Lu held her mobile phone at Lao Lu, her eyes were full of a strange joy, and she said excitedly: "Listen, listen, Lao Liu is still alive, still alive!" ”

I took the phone from Ms. Lu's hand and opened the recording file.

"Hey, Mrs. Liu?"

"Yes, yes!"

"Is the ransom of 300,000 ready?"

"Hmm...... Preparation. ”

"Preparing? Don't you want Mr. Liu to go home? ”

"No, no, I'm ready, I'm ready."

"Okay, then I'll let you listen to Mr. Liu's voice."

"Save me, save me......"

"That's it, wait for my call."

After listening to the recording, I looked at Ms. Lu's anxious and excited expressions and asked, "Are you sure it's the voice of *rich?" ”

Ms. Lu said loudly, "Yes, definitely. ”

I frowned and said nothing, looking at Lao Lu, Lao Lu also looked at me, and we looked at each other speechlessly.

Why did the dead *rich talk in the kidnapper's mobile phone call again?

I said to Lao Lu: "When will the DNA comparison come out?" ”

Lao Lu said: "I'll urge the appraisal center to get the results in the morning of the day after tomorrow." ”

I nodded.

Later, an investigator left Lao Lu's office with the mother and daughter to take notes, while I stayed in the office and listened to the copy of the recording over and over again.

"Save me, save me......"

I listened to these five words repeatedly from *Fu, and I always felt a little strange. The voice is not very clear, it feels very empty, and there is a heavy electric sound. Is this the reason why the phone is too far away from the rich?

Apparently not, I'm sure, this *rich voice is not *rich's original sound, but a recording.

"Lao Lu, I'm sure that *Fu's voice is not his original voice, but a recording played by the kidnappers." As I spoke, I played the voice of *Fu in the recording again.

Lao Lu frowned and said, "Put it again and listen to it." ”

I played it two more times. Lao Lu nodded slightly and said, "It's really the same thing when you say this, the current sound of Fu's voice is obviously more obvious than the kidnapper's voice." ”

I said, "As far as I can guess, *Fu has indeed been killed, and that headless male corpse is *Fu." However, the kidnappers now don't know that the police have found the body of *rich, and the kidnappers must be holding a fluke mentality, thinking that even if the police find the headless body of *rich, there is no way to confirm the identity of the body for a while. So when the kidnapper called Ms. Lu, he took the initiative to listen to Ms. Lu's voice of *rich, and his intention was to make Ms. Lu think that *rich was still alive. ”

Lao Lu said: "The time of the deceased's death was last night, so it is very likely that *Fu was killed immediately after being kidnapped, so did the murderer not plan to let *Fu live in the first place?" ”

I said: "I said before that *rich is very likely to have been kidnapped by an acquaintance, so think about it, if *rich can come back alive, will this acquaintance be able to escape?" So when the rich were kidnapped, they had actually fallen into the abyss of death. And the kidnappers had planned everything beforehand. First deceived *Fu under the pretext of looking at feng shui, then controlled him through violence, and then threatened to record his voice for help, and finally killed *Fu and threw his head and corpse. ”

Lao Lu nodded and said, "This bastard is really ruthless. ”

I said: "I suspect that these two calls from the kidnappers were actually tentative, and he must still need the money, and he will definitely call again." Because the hostages are dead, we can be silent and capture them without hesitation after determining the place and time of the transaction. ”

Lao Lu agreed, believing that this was the most effective method.

Early the next morning, Lao Lu turned on the phone for me again, I thought it was the DNA comparison results that came out a day earlier, but Lao Lu's words on the phone shocked me.

"* Fu is not dead, someone saw him appear downstairs in his house."

When I heard the news, my initial reaction was indeed shock and wondering, but after careful consideration, I realized that this was a brainless addition by the murderer. However, I still had to rush to the criminal investigation team to find out the specifics of this matter.

In Lao Lu's office, Ms. Lu and her daughter sat on the sofa, wiping tears from time to time.

I walked to Lao Lu's desk, sat down on the chair in front of the desk, and asked, "What's the situation?" ”

Lao Lu lit a cigarette, looked at Ms. Lu, then took a puff of cigarette, looked at me and said: "This morning, Ms. Lu's daughter went out to buy vegetables, and met the owner of their night market stall downstairs in the vegetable market. Liu Nu was very surprised by these words, so she asked the night market owner in detail. The owner of the night market said that in the early hours of this morning, around 1 o'clock, he saw Lao Liu walking over from a distance. Because Lao Liu often eats supper here, the boss and Lao Liu are very familiar. Every time Lao Liu goes home, he waves to the night market owner, and of course, this time is no exception. Does this mean that Lao Liu is really alive? Could it be that the sound heard in the mobile phone is just distorted, we are thinking too much, and the deceased is someone else? ”

I shook my head affirmatively, then looked sideways at the mother and daughter, and didn't immediately give my explanation.

Lao Lu then talked with the mother and daughter for a while, especially emphasizing that when the kidnappers called, they must be recorded, and after the transaction is confirmed, they must notify the police as soon as possible.

After the mother and daughter left, I lit a cigarette and said to Lao Lu: "The person the night market owner saw last night can't be *rich, because I can be 100% sure that *rich is the headless male corpse." ”

Lao Lu looked sideways at me and said, "Tell me your reasons." ”

I said: "First of all, if the owner of the night market sees *Fu leisurely waving to him and greets him, it means that *Fu has gotten rid of the control of the kidnappers, but has *Fu gone home?" Have you contacted your family? Apparently not. So the person who appeared last night was the kidnapper himself, he must be wearing the coat of *rich, and with the help of darkness as a cover, the night market owner mistakenly thought that he was *rich. The purpose of what he did was to show that *rich was still alive. But isn't it obviously brainless to do so? ”

Lao Lu nodded, a stiff smile on his face.

I continued: "This act of the kidnapper shows that he is an acquaintance of *rich, and he even knows the relationship between *rich and the owner of the night market. So maybe this kidnapper has also eaten in the night market, could he just live nearby? ”

Lao Lu said: "You mean, the kidnappers and the * rich family are not far apart? ”

I nodded and said, "It's very likely." ”

In the evening of the same day, Lao Lu received a call from Ms. Lu, saying that the kidnappers had called again, and had decided the place and time of the transaction.

Lao Lu and I knew that this was the best time for us to catch the kidnappers.

However, Lao Lu is a very cautious person in handling cases, and after determining that the transaction time is after tomorrow night, Lao Lu urged the forensic identification center to make a comparison between the DNA of the deceased and the DNA of the rich daughter as soon as possible. Because he still wants to finally confirm that the deceased is * rich.

Early the next morning, the DNA comparison results finally came out, and it was determined that the headless male corpse was *rich.

After learning the true identity of the deceased, Lao Lu was finally ready to arrest the murderer without any scruples, and Lao Lu believed that this arrest was inevitable.
