Chaos Era, Outside the Spring Festival - The Man in the Well

4. A proverb (I)

"The suspect can lock on Chen Tiantian's stepfather and quickly check him."

An hour later, the investigation came out.

It's not the same as guessed.

Chen Yitian's stepfather, Luo Zhongjian, sold his family's property 13 years ago and went to the United States to engage in business. In the past 13 years, Luo Zhongjian has never returned to China.

The man seems to have left this sad land and just wants to forget everything that happened.

And most importantly, Luo Zhongjian passed away in July last year.

Therefore, Luo Zhongjian is a murderer, which can be completely ruled out. The case has been broken again.

Zhou Sen looked at the information above and thought: "Actually, we have only been tracking down the identity of the deceased for more than ten hours, but we have not painted a portrait of the murderer."

The murderer must have come with a gesture of revenge, and he was a person with a lot of strength, otherwise he would not have moved the 30-pound manhole cover of Aunt Lin's house without a sound. At least prima facie, it can be concluded that the killer was a man. And the corpse was treated with ice, and the ice in summer is very easy to melt, so the source of the ice is Wangcun. Who can take a large amount of ice and walk in the royal village without suspicion? Therefore, the murderer must be someone familiar to Wang Village.

However, we have overlooked a very important detail.

Lin Ping told his father that Yuanyuan had been thrown into the river and drowned. And the truth is that Yuanyuan died in a car accident. According to the situation at the time, Yuan Yuan was most likely seriously injured, and the chances of climbing the river under the reservoir with fast water were very small. So, someone saved her at that time.

Of the people involved in the case that year, there was one person still alive, although his whereabouts are unknown. But if the body is not found, it is possible to be alive.

That person is the fool Wang Xiaodong.

Only he could call Lin Ping away when he was defenseless, and only he could have a reason to lead Wang Man and Zhong Feng to the same place to kill. Because these 4 people have a common secret in their hearts.

However, he is a fool, according to the investigation, Wang Xiaodong was stupid after he suddenly had a high fever 13 years ago. How do fools kill. Tang Chengyu wondered.

Zhou Sen turned his head and smiled at him: "Sometimes, fools are the best killers. ”

Wang Xiaodong is a native of Wang Village, guarding the orchard, and now it is the season when the fruit is ripe. If Wang Xiaodong used a large amount of ice cubes to pretend to be used to freeze fruits, no one would doubt it. He can freely enter and leave Aunt Lin's house without arousing suspicion.

"Go and adjust the camera at the intersection near the Linping community to see if Wang Xiaodong has been haunted?" Zhou Sen turned back to the police officer and said.

After 15 minutes, the video came up.

It shows that 3 days ago, Wang Xiaodong really appeared where Lin Ping was.

"Immediately, take action, and go all out to search for Wang Xiaodong." The director gave the order cleanly.

"Wang Xiaodong is missing now, where will he be?" Tang Chengyu said blankly.

"Wang Xiaodong should still be in the orchard or near the reservoir where Chen Yitian died. Maybe that's the scene of the first crime. Other corpse parts may be there. Zhou Sen looked at the director and said softly.

Police cars roared to Wangcun.

Zhou Sen sat in the police car and couldn't help but think that Wang Xiaodong was actually one of the perpetrators of the year. Is Wang Xiaodong really stupid or has he been pretending to be stupid all these years, otherwise why would he start killing people after 13 years? Is it the nightmare that has been haunting him for 13 years, so that he finally can't resist the psychological defense?

Zhou Sen thought about these indiscriminately, and before he knew it, the police car had driven to the foot of Wangcun's Guoshan, and next to Guoshan was Wangcun's reservoir.

The group walked up along the reservoir, the reservoir in Wangcun, the second largest reservoir in the city, surrounded by mountains and forests at high altitudes. There are many fruit trees planted in the mountain forest. However, the fruit trees are all contracted by rural cooperatives, and when they do not pick fruits, they only arrange for Wang Xiaodong to guard the mountains and forests.

Although the temperature in the mountain forest of the reservoir is very comfortable, the villagers rarely go up the mountain except for picking fruits, and children are strictly forbidden to play in the reservoir. First, because there are more snakes in the mountains, and secondly, there are people who drown in the reservoir every year, and rural people are particularly superstitious that there are water ghosts and other stand-ins by the reservoir every year.

The house where Wang Xiaodong Shoulin lives is relatively new, with a courtyard surrounded by a wall of more than 1 meter. It is made of thick bricks and reinforced concrete, and the top is a sturdy tile, and the outside is casually painted with yellow mud. Inside, the walls are painted with clean white. The house is very sturdy, firstly, the people who guarded the mountain in the past have been attacked and killed by wild beasts, and secondly, in recent years, the fruit forest has made a lot of money, and in autumn, when all kinds of fruits are basically ripe, there will be people from other places to pick them in person, and this house gives people a decent rest.

There is a living room, 2 bedrooms and a kitchen, and Wang Xiaodong is not there. Wang Xiaodong lives in the bedroom on the right, which is disorganized, with clothes scattered randomly on the bed and stool, and cigarette butts on the table. However, there were no signs of a fight in the entire house, and no blood was found on the ground.

Tang Chengyu and Luo Jiawen found a lot of ice cubes in the refrigerator, as well as boxes for transporting fruits. That is, the suspected tool for transporting the body has been found.

However, no other body parts have been found.

Zhou Sen looked around and asked slowly, "The village here is far away, if you buy vegetables or store fruits in winter, there should be a cellar, right?" ”

The crowd was reminded, and soon found the cellar.

Zhou Sen, Tang Chengyu, Luo Jiawen, and 2 police officers who collected evidence went down to the cellar together.

The cellar is three or four times larger than a traditional home cellar, and since it is not yet the official opening season, there is plenty of oxygen inside, even like an underground bedroom.

The cellar is stocked with some furniture cabinets and some jars.

Zhou Sen and Tang Chengyu glanced at each other and understood each other: it was very likely that other corpse parts were hidden in these jars.

The two of them looked through the jars, but found nothing, and the killer did not hide the other body parts here. Then, the cellar was searched separately. The cellar is very neat and dry.

Immediately after, Zhou Sen found a calling card under the water cup on the table. Zhou Sen carefully took out the tweezers and took out the calling card, and a thought came to him: Could this be Lin Ping's suspicious number?

Zhou Sen carefully looked at the calling card, and there was an obvious scratch on the front of the calling card, as if it was formed by loading it into the card slot.

Zhou Sen put the card into his mobile phone, and the scratches on it were just exposed. After installing the electric board, dialed Tang Chengyu's phone, and the call displayed on Tang Chengyu's mobile phone was the unfamiliar number on Lin Ping's mobile phone.

At this time, Luo Jiawen pointed to the white lime of cement in the corner of the wall and said: "This white lime and cement look very new, but this house is not like it has been renovated recently." ”

This sentence woke up Zhou Sen, it is almost impossible for the autopsy to not shed a drop of blood at the scene, and it is difficult for a careful murderer to do it. What's more, judging from the mess in Wang Xiaodong's room, Wang Xiaodong is not a very careful person.

The only explanation is that the blood on the ground was washed away by water, while the walls were re-covered with lime and cement.

This whole house, only the kitchen is ceramic flooring, suitable for water washing. Only the kitchen has tall cabinets that can temporarily block the color difference between the old and new lime paintings.

Zhou Sen immediately climbed out of the cellar, removed the covered cabinets in the kitchen, and then scraped open the new lime powder, and sure enough, he found a faint trace of blood inside.

A police officer came to collect it and took it back for testing.

The murderer is really Wang Xiaodong.

So where is Wang Xiaodong now, and where are the remaining corpses?

Zhou Sen closed his eyes and pieced together all the details. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and hurried to Wang Xiaodong's room. rummaged through all the messy things, and then, under one of his coats, there was a poster: Red Star Mall is about to open, and the chairman invited a certain star to come to the scene in person.

The poster printed on the poster is Wang Man's father. And the opening day of the mall happens to be today.

"Not good." Zhou Sen secretly regretted that all the people involved in the case were dead, and only Wang Man's parents and Zhong Feng's father were left. So the murderer's next target is them.

Zhou Sen hurriedly took out the phone and called the director: "It's not good, Wang Man's parents are in danger." ”

"Well, 10 minutes ago, we received a report that Wang Man's parents attended the mall opening event, and when they were in the lounge, the two of them went out after receiving a phone call, and they never came back. The activity was about to start, but no one was found, and the assistant suspected that someone had kidnapped them and reported the case. I was just about to inform you over there. Wang Xiaodong didn't know where he would take people. ”

"How long has it been since the person disappeared?"

"It's been about 2 hours."

Where will Wang Xiaodong take people?

If Wang Xiaodong came with the color of revenge, from the perspective of criminal psychology, what place is the most memorable? That was the scene of the crime that year.

Around the Wangcun Reservoir Dam.

In other words, Wang Xiaodong is near here.

Zhou Sen hung up the phone and hurriedly called all the people to tell the general situation: "Find out if there is a fruit transport truck nearby, it is understood that Wang Xiaodong can drive at the age of 17, if he is just pretending to be stupid all these years, then Wang Man's parents must have been hijacked by Wang Xiaodong." ”

The group searched along the side of the reservoir, and found Wang Xiaodong who was in a daze on the dam viewing platform of the reservoir.

He watched Zhou Sen walk towards him, walked down slowly, and met Zhou Sen, without Wang Man's parents by his side.

Approaching Wang Xiaodong, he was eating and laughing, eating and laughing over and over again: "You finally found me?" ”

As he spoke, he clapped his palms happily, saliva running down his lips.

"Wang Xiaodong, you don't have to pretend anymore, tell us quickly. Where are Wang Man's parents? The officer shouted at Wang Xiaodong.

"Wang Man? Ah, you also know Wang Man, I know her too, she killed Yuanyuan, I also killed her, she is kneeling and begging for mercy for Yuanyuan now, haha~" Wang Xiaodong continued to smile.

Zhou Sen looked at Wang Xiaodong like this, his stupidity was not fake.

There have been similar cases in the United States where people with intellectual disabilities have killed people. They have clear goals and plans, and they show even more execution than normal people in their actions. But their stubbornness has made them trapped in their own world.

If Wang Xiaodong really has cognitive impairment, then the killing process can only be explained in this way.

"What about Wang Man's father, the rich man who told you not to speak, where did he go?" Zhou Sen cautiously probed.

"The rich one? He has a lot of money, but, let me tell you, hehe, hehe, no matter how much money he has, it's useless, he's going to accompany Yuanyuan soon. It was he who killed Yuanyuan, whom I worked so hard to rescue, so I will kill him like that. Hey. With that, he began to run towards the west of the village, and Zhou Sen looked back at a fruit transport truck parked there.

"It's not good, stop him." Zhou Sen screamed, and the group also reacted, Yuan Yuan died in a car accident, so "kill him like that" means that he will also use a car accident to kill Wang Man's parents.

However, Wang Xiaodong's speed was amazingly fast, and everyone had to get into the two police cars next to them and track Wang Xiaodong's car all the way.

On the national highway leading to the city from Wang Village, Wang Xiaodong's car suddenly braked suddenly, and the police car behind him was caught off guard, and when it was about to collide, it turned to the side and hit the big tree next to it and rolled downhill.

The driver in the car was Tang Chengyu, and the co-pilot was Luo Jiawen. There was also a police officer.

And Wang Xiaodong drove the car directly off the cliff in front.

Wang Xiaodong, who fell off the cliff, turned around and suddenly screamed sadly.

Half an hour later, Luo Jiawen, Tang Chengyu, and police officers were sent to the emergency room. Fortunately, the slope of the rollover was not large at that time, and everyone was only injured by skin, except for Luo Jiawen, because she lost too much blood and her blood type was rare, so the rescue process was a lot of toss.

And Wang Xiaodong did kidnap Wang Man's parents in the car he drove. Wang Man's father and Wang Xiaodong died on the spot, and Wang Man's mother also became a vegetative person.

However, the case of floating corpses in the well has finally been solved.

Zhou Sen found other body parts in Wang Xiaodong's sentence "She is kneeling down with Yuanyuan to admit her mistakes". Wang Xiaodong was standing on the observation deck at the top of the reservoir dam, and his angle happened to be a valley.

In that shady valley, they found the three scarecrows tied up from the remaining corpses. It's just that this scarecrow is kneeling. Only the torso is straw, the limbs and head are real people, kneeling in the direction of the reservoir. The heads hanging on it are Zhong Feng, Wang Man and Lin Ping.

Is the salvation created by the devil really salvation?
