Chapter 109: Water Soul (4)
I took a picture of the ribbon and sent it to my 26 WeChat think tanks, and it didn't take long for me to get a reply.
These blue, red, white, green, and yellow ribbons are used on boats during the Bosten Lake Fishing Festival.
The Mongolian people living around Bosten Lake are the descendants of the Donggui hero Wubaxi, who have been snuggled up in the embrace of nature since birth, breathing the purest air, and in their eyes, every grass and tree, every mountain and stone, every water and fish are awe-inspiring gods. Therefore, a long, long time ago, the Mongolian people living around Bosten Lake spontaneously organized a traditional lake worship activity in May or June every year to remind people to love and respect water, and to be grateful for the water and land that nurtured them.
In the lake festival festival, the lake boat is one of the important props. The sacrificial lake boat is a small boat made by people tied with newly sprouted branches; The women "dressed" the boat in festive costumes: the boat was ceremoniously draped in blue, red, white, green and yellow ribbons. It is said that these five colors represent the blue sky, the red sun, the white clouds, the green land and the loess, and contain the meaning of national peace and security, warding off evil spirits and taking refuge, longevity of the elderly, many children and grandchildren, and a bright future for children. At the same time, the boat is also full of colorful flags and flowers, and the boat has become a "flower boat" with colorful flags fluttering.
Since the five-colored ribbon came from the sacrificial lake boat, and the sacrificial lake boat was used in the fishing festival of Bosten Lake, it shows that the person who placed the five-colored ribbon on Cheng Xiaowei's grave must be related to Bosten Lake.
Bosten Lake is located in Bohu County, Bayingolin Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, so will this person who puts five-color ribbons be from Xinjiang?
A looming face flashed in my mind, and it was the big man I had seen in the Red Bar that night. The man's high nose and large deep eyes were clearly not locals, more like a Uighur with a well-defined face. Could the big guy have something to do with the five-color ribbon?
Back at Cheng Xiaowei's parents' restaurant, I asked Cheng's father about the situation, and it seemed that everything was revealed.
Cheng's father told me that eight years ago, Cheng Xiaowei completed his studies at Xinjiang University and returned to Hong Kong. I wanted to return to Xinjiang to work after spending the summer at home, but I didn't expect to hang myself at the end of August. It's just that the reason for the suicide is unknown to his parents.
Cheng's father also revealed a message to us, she said that her daughter should have a boyfriend in college, but she did not tell her family about it. Cheng's father suspected that his daughter's suicide was directly related to the boyfriend, but there was no direct evidence and he could not question others. But Cheng's father knew that this man had appeared at Cheng Xiaowei's funeral eight years ago. Cheng's father remembered very well that this man was very tall, standing far away in front of Cheng Xiaowei's mourning hall, standing for several hours. Because this man is very tall and strong, ordinary people don't dare to approach him, but Cheng's father knows that this person is definitely not a local, and he has flipped out a photo of his daughter and this person in Cheng Xiaowei's mobile phone.
I asked Cheng's father for the mobile phone that Cheng Xiaowei used before his death, although it was an old-fashioned backgammon mobile phone, and because it had been placed for too long, it could no longer be turned on, but I believe that the comrades in the technical department were able to extract relevant information from this mobile phone.
The information in BBK's mobile phone was really cracked in the technical department, not only found the photo of the big man in Cheng's father's mouth, but also the few text messages left in the mobile phone were intriguing.
Although the photo is not very clear, I can tell that the big man in the photo is the same person I saw in the red bar that day.
And the content of the last few text messages on the phone is heartbreaking.
"Why are you doing this to me? We are friends who grew up together, and you are completely ruining me by doing this! ”
"I don't have the face to live in this world anymore, I want to turn into a ghost and eat you alive!"
"Jiang Qiuliu, you will live under my curse for the rest of your life, and you will not die well!"
The messages were sent to a local number, whose stored name was Liu Liu, and Jiang Qiuliu's name also appeared in the text message. And from the resentful words, it is certain that Jiang Qiuliu did something that Cheng Xiaowei could not forgive, and this incident directly led to Cheng Xiaowei's suicide.
The last message was sent to a foreign number, and the stored name was 'My Love', which seems to be the phone number of Cheng Xiaowei's former boyfriend. It's just that the text message is heartbreaking.
"Farewell, my love. I want to walk with you on the edge of the quiet Tianchi, I want to hold hands with you in the ancient city of Loulan at sunset, I want to feed you a sweet Turpan grape, and I want to taste the herring you caught for me in Bosten Lake. Farewell, my love, I will bless you in heaven, and you, from now on, forget me. ”
The criminal investigation team contacted the Xinjiang police, and the Xinjiang police found information about the big man in the photo at Xinjiang University through the photos we provided.
The big man's name is Nigati Rahman, a native of Bohu County, Bayingolin Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, a 04-level student of Xinjiang University, and Cheng Xiaowei are classmates and boyfriend and girlfriend.
Nigati is a legendary figure at Xinjiang University, and his family made a living from fishing in Bohu County, so he was familiar with water from an early age and mastered various fishing techniques. Coupled with his love of sports and fitness, Nigati, who is 190 cm tall, has been favored by many film and television companies and modeling companies, and has a bright future.
But when he just graduated, Nigati mysteriously disappeared, no one knew where he went, even his parents did not know his whereabouts, and they had called the police to look for him, but there has been no news, and as of today, Nigati is still missing.
After receiving this information, I felt that Nigati was more suspicious of killing four people.
First of all, the two murders of Xie Shikun and Kong Baohua, the perpetrators must have excellent water nature. Nigati's family is a fishing family, and the water is not a problem.
The second is the murder of Li Shujian, the deceased was killed by a flying harpoon through the body, and in terms of technique and strength, Nigati coincided again.
Finally, Jiang Qiuliu, who was strangled to death by a huge palm, and his estimated height and strength also coincided with Nigati.
Then only the last important link remains, which is the motive for the murder. From Cheng Xiaowei's mobile phone text messages, I learned that Jiang Qiuliu had done unforgivable things to Cheng Xiaowei. And learned from Zhang Pinglian's mouth that Xie Shikun, Kong Baohua and Li Shujian once spent money to play with a virgin. So will this toyed virgin be Cheng Xiaowei? And is there any connection between Xie Shikun and Jiang Qiuliu? I think that if we find the connection, we will be able to determine the motive for Nigati's murder of the four people.
However, Lao Lu felt that with the current situation, Nigati could be listed as the most important suspect, so he decided to arrest Nigati.
Because Nigati was tall and burly, his whereabouts were quickly discovered.
It turned out that he was hiding in the Nites Hotel, and Lao Lu personally led the team to arrest him. It's just that Nigati is a general, and before Lao Lu locked down the hotel, Nigati had already moved.
This made Lao Lu very angry, because Nigati's transfer must be a leak within the police station, otherwise how could the secret arrest of Nigati be discovered by him?
It was precisely because of Nigati's escape that Lao Lu was even more convinced that he was the suspect. So they increased their police force, blocked the whole city, and vowed not to give up until Nigath was caught.
I think the chances of success in this arrest are very low. Because from Nigat's murder methods and the fact that he was able to obtain information from the police in advance, it was known that he was not an ordinary criminal, and there must be a strong criminal organization behind him.
I would inevitably be the first to suspect the Qumer Crime Group. But what puzzles me is that the goal of the Qumo criminal group this time is very different from the previous ones. In the past, the ultimate goal of crime was to obtain high economic benefits. And this time, is it just for revenge?
After searching Nigati for a week in the whole city, there was still no clue, this big man with a height of 190 centimeters seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and there was no trace of him.
At noon that day, I suddenly received a letter, and to my surprise, it was actually sent by Qu Mo. What surprised me even more was that this letter was actually an apology letter from Qu Mo.
What he basically meant was that his subordinate Nygati Rahman acted privately and harassed me because he had killed some inconsequential people for his personal vendetta, and hoped that I would forgive him for his rude and stupid behavior, and apologize to me for his behavior.
This letter of apology already made me wonder and weird, but it wasn't Qu Mo joking, he was very serious. After the letter, he informed Nigati of his motive for committing the crime and how Qu Mo helped Nigati escape from the police.
Qu Mo said that Nigati's actions made him angry, but Qu Mo said that he was a person who loved talents, and he didn't want the genius criminals around him to fall, so he saved him. But he thought that the wrongdoer must be punished, so he cut off the little finger of Nigart's left hand and sent it to me by letter as a sign of his sincerity.
I really can't understand Qu Mo's mode of thinking, his so-called apologies and punishments don't seem to have anything to do with me, he doesn't have to do it at all.
However, in his letter, Qu Mo explained to me the motive of Nigati's crime, and this motive was not far from what I had speculated in my heart.
Nigati's real purpose in killing the four was to avenge his former girlfriend, Cheng Xiaowei.
Cheng Xiaowei returned to Wanzhou eight years ago and met Jiang Qiuliu again, but Jiang Qiuliu was in a period of drug abuse at that time. In order to raise money to buy drugs, Jiang Qiuliu used 5,000 yuan to recruit prostitutes Xie Shikun, Kong Baohua and Li Shujian in the form of pimping. After that, Cheng Xiaowei was tricked to an entertainment venue, and Cheng Xiaowei was stunned with *, and then took him to a nearby hotel and provided it to the three people who solicited prostitution. The three took turns to rape Cheng Xiaowei. This incident led to Cheng Xiaowei's suicide, and also caused Nigati to be depressed and fall into the hands of Qu Mo's criminal group.
However, Qu Mo cultivated him into an excellent professional killer, giving Nigati the capital for revenge and a cruel character. That's why there are four bizarre and perfect homicides.
With Qu Mo's protection, it is difficult for the police to catch Nighati. And I understand that the only way to end sin is to catch Qu Mo. This big demon king who is hidden behind the scenes and has strong criminal strength will not end for a day, and the crime will not stop for a day.
