028. A black hole with no end in sight
The two police officers went out of the courtyard gate, walked left and right and got into the police car, this time without turning on the siren, Officer Wang drove the car to the river in the village.
The roads in the village are not good, some places are very narrow, Officer Wang is not in a hurry, just open little by little, and occasionally see villagers on the side of the road who he knows and stop to say hello with a smile.
"Do you think there is something wrong with them?" Officer Wu twisted his neck and said.
"I didn't look at their expressions, but in terms of language, there was nothing wrong with the language, and the reactions were normal." Officer Wang was driving the car intently, and happened to turn a corner when he said this.
"I think too, but that Liu Haowen has some suspicions." Officer Wu looked at the roof of the car without blinking. "Let's ask about Lin Yuan, he hid in the house and came out last, is he afraid of the police, or is he afraid of us?"
He smiled and said, "Okay, it's all the same, but ...... The other two people were either shouting about who did it, or they were in a hurry to see Lin Yuan, and their reactions were normal. ”
Officer Wang glanced at him and said, "He was the only one who didn't mention it." ”
"They all have suspicions." Officer Wu turned his head to look at the rice fields on the side of the road and said, "I hope this case has nothing to do with them, otherwise it will involve the rape and murder two years ago, and the matter will be serious." ”
Passing through the woods, there is a shallow sandy beach not far away, and next to it, a river.
Officer Wu squatted on the sand that Liu Haowen had climbed yesterday, grabbed a handful of sand with his hand, stared at the turbulent river, and asked, "When was Lin Yuan discovered?" ”
Officer Wang didn't think about it: "Around eleven o'clock." ”
"The water flow is very fast, and I found that above Lin Yuan's village, only here are still people, and it is impossible to go farther. In other words, the river must have rushed from here to Lin Yuan and all the way to the downstream village, so I judged...... The first crime scene must have been around here. Officer Wu threw down a rock, making a splash. Lin Yuan disappeared at half past ten, and the time when he was found was around eleven o'clock, that is, Lin Yuan was attacked between half past ten and eleven o'clock and thrown into the river. ”
Officer Wang nodded and said, "The current was not so fast back then, and that girl didn't have such good luck as Lin Yuan." ”
"I've been wanting to avenge her for the past two years, right?"
"Hmm!" Officer Wang nodded heavily.
"Back then, the fish that came out of here were fat and big."
Officer Wu stood up, sighed, and said, "Heaven will not condone anyone who has a serious crime, Lin Yuan is an opportunity given by God, and now, the opportunity has come." ”
Some distance down from this position, the water level is much lower than the flat ground, the distance between the shore and the water surface is about five meters, Officer Wu stood on it, looked sideways at the position they arrived at for the first time, and pointed to the water surface and said: "It should be near here, you notify the bureau and ask them to come into the water to find the stones, the people washed away, and the stones must still be below." ”
"There is no point in letting the people from the downstream villages withdraw again, and asking those villagers can make a fart."
Officer Wang turned around, looked at the woods behind him, and said, "It's here again." ”
"Hmm." Officer Wu nodded. "The same method, the same position, the murderer is likely to be the same person."
"There's also the possibility of imitation crimes, but it's unlikely to happen here."
The two of them went to the woods again, if it was said that Lin Yuan was stunned, this was the place with the greatest probability.
It can not only avoid being seen by Zhao Qi who is swimming over there, but also avoid being seen by the villagers above the woods, in other words, it is the best scene for killing people and setting fires.
According to Liu Haowen's confession, Lin Yuan also disappeared from here.
If the scene of the crime is not here, then there is no more suitable place to start nearby, and there is a little farther away, but there is not enough time, and it is impossible to do so much in half an hour.
"Increase the police force, check!" Officer Wu squatted down and looked at the mottled blood stains on the ground, and said: "It must be around here, ask door to door, the suspect can't escape, if there is someone left, ask where the person went." ”
"Okay." Officer Wang nodded heavily, took out his mobile phone and called the police station.
In just two years, two major cases, one for rape and one for attempted murder, were all in the same village.
The same place, the same method, the murderer, is already close at hand.
Led by the city bureau, several police stations jointly dispatched, and the unsolved case two years ago caused an uproar in the county town at that time, and the people were panicked, and this time, the criminals must be brought to justice.
The commander-in-chief of the operation sent ten police officers to visit and investigate, and ten people also gathered by the river, one team went down to the river to collect physical evidence, and the other collected blood stains and searched for evidence in the woods.
The river was very deep, five meters long, and the search for stones became a little difficult, and the visibility under the water was very low, so nothing was found until the fourth poked his head out of the water and gave a thumbs up to the people waiting on the shore.
Three people went down at once, and only then did they barely get the stone out of the water and ashore.
"How? Is there a fingerprint? Officer Wu rushed forward and asked.
"No, the preliminary suspicion is that the suspect is wearing gloves, and the possibility that it is not this stone cannot be ruled out." The police officer of the appraisal department said.
"It can't be this one, you see there are traces of stones pressed here, you can be right." Officer Wu pointed to the ground next to him.
All the officers looked at each other, and it was indeed so.
"That must be the suspect wearing gloves." A policeman said angrily: "Damn, it's so cunning!" ”
Officer Wu smiled faintly: "If you weren't cunning, you should have been caught by us two years ago." ”
In the evening, the police called it a day, and some well-meaning villagers invited Officer Wu to have a homely meal, but they were politely refused in turn.
There are too many people, and people can be kind, but they can't really go, otherwise they will definitely be overwhelmed.
Officer Wu asked the police officer in charge of the visit: "Did you find anything?" ”
"No one left, but three villagers went into the city to buy today, but they all came back around 5 p.m."
"What's wrong?" Officer Wu asked again.
"It has no usable value, and most of them are rumors made up by women themselves in their leisure time, which is not advisable." The policeman smiled bitterly and said.
A large group of policemen drove away, Liu Haowen watched the police walk away from the door, the red taillights pierced his eyes, his body was numb and gently retreated, and said: "Things seem to be big." ”
Zhao Qi sat on the bench and fanned the wind, and said, "This is great, it's better to find out the murderer quickly and give Zhao Fatzi and his sister and Lin Yuan an explanation, speaking of that perverted murderer, I'm phew!" It's long overdue to bring them to justice! ”
There was no light in the room, Zhao Changhui blended with the darkness, he stood motionless in the room, his eyes full of anger staring at Zhao Qi, who was scolding.
"Don't know who it is, I'll stone him with money!"
Zhao Qi was still yelling, Zhao Changhui shook his head and walked out of the door.
At eight o'clock the next morning, Lin Yuan had just woken up, and his brain, which was like a mess, was finally much more comfortable, and the pain and dizziness were not as intense as yesterday.
It happened that Officer Wu came to visit him with a fruit basket, and when he entered the door, he said, "How do you feel?" ”
"Much better." Lin Yuan smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Uncle Police." ”
"Do you need to call your uncle to come and accompany you?" Officer Wu opened the fruit basket, took a banana and handed it over.
Lin Yuan took it respectfully, thought about it, then shook his head, and said, "No, he's busy with work." ”
"I would like to get to know him when I have a chance." Officer Wu said: "He must be a good policeman who is kind and righteous, right?" ”
Lin Yuan didn't care about being dizzy, nodded his head twice, and said, "Yes, yes, Uncle Li is the best policeman in the world in my eyes." I told him when I was a kid that I wanted to be a police officer when I grew up, just like him. ”
"Then you have to do it!"
Seeing that Lin Yuan's mental state was much better, Officer Wu began to get to the point: "By the way, do you have any contradictions with Zhao Changhui?" ”
"No......" Lin Yuan suddenly remembered that incident, but he was already determined to rot in his stomach, so he shook his head and said, "No." ”
"Remember what the person who hurt you looked like?" Officer Wu asked again.
"I want to think about it......" Lin Yuan hesitated: "No...... I don't remember much, I just remember that he was very fat, and I heard him say a few words to me when I was about to faint, and then I fainted completely. “
"Fat?" Officer Wu smiled and said, "Is it as fat as Zhao Changhui?" “
"Almost." Lin Yuan compared it in his mind.
After a pause, Officer Wu said, "Then remember what he told you?" “
"What he said was...... That waste...... That shit can't do that to you. ”
"That shit?" Officer Wu frowned and muttered in a low voice.
"You can say anything you remember, and we will definitely help you and Xiaoqing get justice." Officer Wu poured a glass of water and gently placed it next to the bed.
The dark blue curtains gently swayed with the breeze, like the waves on the water that day.
Lin Yuan suddenly remembered a lot, and said: "That day, Zhao Changhui's mother told me that Xiaoqing was raped and killed, but Zhao Changhui lied to us that Xiaoqing went out to work, and Zhao Qi and I lived in Xiaoqing's room. ”
"Oh yes, nothing has been touched in there, the sheets and quilt and pillow are all pink, and I remember that there is a pattern of Sakura, a magic card girl, on it."
Officer Wu thought for a moment, then smiled again: "Okay, I see, thank you." “
Lin Yuan's heart tightened, thinking that he had been asking about Zhao Changhui, did he suspect Zhao Changhui?
"Uncle policeman, are you suspicious of him?" He hurriedly asked.
"It's just a suspicion." Officer Wu said, "Of the several of you, he was the only one who was not present at the time, and the rope tied to your feet was exactly the same as the rope that was tied to her sister's feet at the beginning." ”
"Both of these things have to do with him, and it has to be suspicious."
Lin Yuan's heart tightened, and he lost his words: "Impossible!" That's his sister! And he's gay! I saw him and ......"
Officer Wu raised his head suddenly, forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, and slowly spoke: "Who is he with?" ”
"He and ......" Lin Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "And Liu Haowen." “
"When did you see it?"
Lin Yuan lowered his head and said, "The night before my accident, right?" I remember hearing a lot of dogs barking outside, so I used the flashlight on my phone to go out and look, and I just happened to see them......"
The rest of the matter is self-evident, Lin Yuan doesn't say it, and Officer Wu also understands.
I was very confused, Officer Wu had never encountered such a complicated case, and it seemed that all the clues had been interrupted because of Lin Yuan's revelations.
He suddenly remembered Liu Haowen's unconsciously approaching Zhao Changhui.
If Zhao Changhui wanted to kill him, then the motive was also there, because Lin Yuan found out that he was gay, and he was found on the spot.
But if she was gay, would she still rape and kill her sister?
But if it wasn't rape and murder, why did the victim's lower body be stuffed with bait and sink into the river in a vain attempt to destroy the evidence?
Could it be that the murderer in both cases is not the same person, but someone else?
After thinking about it, the words that Lin Yuan heard also had a result.
That sentence of waste probably refers to Liu Haowen.
"You saw them out there...... Did you tell anyone else? Officer Wu breathed a sigh of relief and asked.
"No, I've decided to rot it in my stomach." Lin Yuan said: "In order not to affect the feelings, Zhao Fatzi is a very righteous person. ”
Officer Wu nodded, so the order became clear, first Lin Yuan bumped into Zhao Changhui and Liu Haowen stealing outside, and then the two decided to kill out of shame, Liu Haowen did not dare to act, so he handed it over to Zhao Changhui.
Zhao Changhui first pretended to go to the woods to find a swimming ring, and then deliberately ambushed, waiting for Liu Haowen to ask Lin Yuan to come to him, and when the time was ripe, Zhao Changhui suddenly attacked, knocked Lin Yuan unconscious, and then tied a rope to his feet according to the method of his sister's case, and then threw it down from the river.
It must be like this, he wants to transfer flowers and trees, blame the killing of Lin Yuan on the criminal who killed her sister, and imitate the crime!
It's actually a crime of imitation! But why did he kill people because Lin Yuan found out that he was gay?
"Do you think you have a good relationship?" Officer Wu stood up and walked to the window and asked.
"Very good, he saved me in a fight and injured my waist." Lin Yuan replied seriously.
He couldn't believe that the person who attacked him would be Zhao Changhui.
"Uncle policeman, Zhao Changhui is actually quite pitiful, although Xiaoqing is not his own sister, but her death must have dealt a very serious blow to Zhao Changhui. He has also been cleaning Xiaoqing's room, probably to keep the traces of Xiaoqing's still there. ”
"Later, he said that he dropped out of school to work for a year, probably because he wanted to relax."
"I still don't think he's going to be the one to do it to me."
"Uncle Police? Uncle policeman, why don't you speak? “
Officer Wu slowly turned around: "What did you just say...... Xiaoqing is not his own sister? “
