Chapter 42: The Horror Before Dying
Just when the two of us were a little surprised, everyone came out and saw us here, and they all came over and asked what was going on.
Leng Tong and I immediately explained the situation to everyone, and everyone came over to take a look and nodded one after another.
Huang Lao smiled and said, "Just now you asked a very important question, that is, the question of Old Han Tou being awakened, everyone ignored it, and focused on the issue of the corpse running away!" β
"If you look at it according to this situation, it's even weirder!" Dong Lao also said suspiciously: "If Old Han Tou was awakened, then this is the source of the shock, from the direction, it is not a corpse at all, or it was thrown by a person who disguised a corpse." β
I took it and said, "This position is still the direction above Uncle Han's head, so can we say that the person who is disguised as a corpse has an accomplice who is answering?" β
"Yes!" Huang Lao immediately nodded and said: "This is the only explanation, the accomplices woke up Old Han Tou when the person who came over disguised as a corpse passed by, that is to say, they intended to let Old Han Tou see the scene of the corpse leaving!" β
This time we all nodded one after another, if the old Han Tou did not lie, this inference is valid, and it is also the only explanation, we also saw just now, the old Han Tou is not like lying, when we asked him to wake up, the old Han Tou was also a little vague, not the wording that he had already thought of.
Dong Lao quickly continued: "Someone came out disguised as a corpse, and deliberately let Old Han Tou see it, then his purpose is also very obvious, that is, he is deliberately creating a supernatural event, but what is this for?" β
Da Leizi said in the back: "Do you want to harvest human organs?" When we came home, we solved one of these cases! β
Huang Lao shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be, this corpse is going to be funeral the next day, that is to say, it has been frozen here for two days, and this kind of corpse has no use value." Besides, if the body is stolen for the sake of organs, it will not be deliberately seen, so there must be something else hidden here. β
Leng Tong and I thought the same way, we all know that it is impossible for a corpse to come out on its own, so someone must be pretending to be a corpse, as for what, we haven't figured it out yet.
Huang Lao looked at us, and then said: "Huang Ju, I think this kind of thing still has to focus on the big picture!" How many funeral parlors are there in our city? β
"Three!" Huang Ju immediately said: "It's all in different regions, you mean there is a competition problem?" β
"Yes!" Huang Lao immediately said: "There was a supernatural incident here, the family is waiting for the funeral, the body is gone, will anyone come here for the funeral in the future?" There are fewer people here, who are the beneficiaries? β
Now Leng Tong and I also glanced at each other, and both nodded, the old man is really powerful, we didn't expect this.
Dong Lao continued: "And! We are not only limited to the problem of finding the body, but also related to other questions, for example, who is the leader of this funeral home, is there any enemy, is there anyone who is worried about the position of the director, speaking of which this kind of place is also beautiful! β
Huang Ju and Director Hu both smiled, Huang Ju nodded again and again and said: "The two elders are really experts, we have worked hard to find the corpse in the past few days, and even checked the family members, today we understand a lot, let's go back!" You also take a break, I will arrange a task with Captain Dong, I believe that this time there will be a result! β
Huang Ju looked at the time, and said with a smile: "Let's go, there is another case at noon today, let's go back and listen to everyone's report, they all came by car, and they are not very tired, if you want to say tired, these two little guys are tired, they are thoughtful, and they have found the most suspicious clues, so we have this kind of inference!" β
Everyone looked at the two of us and laughed, and soon left the funeral home together.
It's still the four of us in a car, and when we got in the car, Da Leizi laughed: "Xiaoxiao, cold girl, you two didn't brag in vain, today you two asked a key question, better than those two hometownsΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Lao Dong Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· The old expert is amazing, huh? Ha ha! β
Da Leizi's sentence was glared at by Team Xing and changed his mouth twice, once he wanted to talk about the old guy, and once he wanted to talk about old things, but he didn't say it, which made me and Team Xing laugh, and even the big beauty of Leng Tong covered her mouth and turned her head.
This trip to the funeral home is not a short time, more than four o'clock in the afternoon, we returned to the police station, although found some suspicious points, the two elders also put forward the general direction, or to continue the investigation, we can only wait for the results of the investigation.
At about six o'clock in the evening, the teams returned, and everyone reported the situation of the two cases.
In the case of the escape of the body, the police mainly investigated the nearby rice factory and brick factory, and no one found anything, and the personnel of the funeral home also checked, and they were all on duty that day.
There is even a doubt that the family of the corpse will blackmail the funeral home, this possibility is basically unlikely, the deceased is big, no one will make such jokes about their relatives, but the police also investigated, of course, there is no gain.
In the case of Chen Ming's murder, the nearby neighbors did not provide too many clues, after all, the house was the head, and after turning around, it was all houses and alleys, and no one could say in what direction the murderer escaped.
The other team investigated the deceased's social connections, and recently had frequent contact with Chen Yutao, the owner of a hotel, with whom he often had drinks, in addition to some people in the market.
The police went to investigate, Chen Yutao was in the hotel on the night of the crime, there was evidence of alibi, Chen Yutao said that the deceased had no abnormal situation recently, and he had not heard of borrowing money, so there should be no creditor.
Yang Li, the wife of the victim Chen Ming, also said the same, and there was nothing lost at home, there was nothing of value at all.
In other words, there has been little progress in either case.
We've said everything we need to say on the spot today, and there's nothing more to say at this time.
The two elders are indeed powerful, and they also talked about the clues we found, clarified the direction of the next investigation, the case of the corpse leaving, and specifically investigated the closure of the funeral home, which funeral home benefited the most, followed by the funeral director of the funeral home, whether there are enemies, and whether anyone is worried about his position.
In the case of Chen Ming's murder, on the basis of continuing to investigate, it is also possible to find out the situation during the time when Chen Ming went in, whether he offended anyone during his imprisonment in prison, and to seek revenge on him after he came out.
I have to say that the arrangements and deployments of the two elders are very in place, and some things that we have not thought of, the two elders have thought of them, and this is the experience, the overall situation, and what we are worthy of learning.
After everyone knew the direction and goal of tomorrow's investigation, the meeting quickly ended, and a few of us went back to the guest house to rest.
I didn't discuss the case again today, I still have to wait for the results of the investigation, I have a room with Team Xing, this time I specially asked for a separate room, and divided Da Leizi out, and we had a good night's sleep.
In the morning, Xing and I just got up, there was a knock on the door outside, Xing team washed up in the bathroom at the door, and quickly opened the door. β
"Huh?" I was also stunned, thinking in my heart why there were so many murders in Ming City, but I hurriedly followed out.
Leng Tong got up earlier than us, and came out as soon as he knocked on the door, Da Leizi was still snoring, and he quickly got up after being woken up by us, and came to the police compound together.
Several police cars were already ready to leave, and yesterday Captain Dong Jindong waved at us, and a few of us hurriedly got into the car and drove all the way west after us.
About 40 minutes later, the police car in front of it stopped at the entrance of an empty alley between a large factory and a driving school, and several people were already gathered at the entrance of the alley, all looking into the alley.
When we got out of the car, the forensic doctor, Dong Team and others had already passed, and we followed.
Just a few meters away from the entrance of the alley, there was a person lying on the ground, with blood stains on his back and scratching his fingers, as if he was struggling to run towards the exit of the alley, and was killed on the way.
Team Dong was already asking a few people at the door: "You called the police?" Does anyone know this person? β
"We both know each other!" A man with a short figure pointed to a big man and said: "We are all workers in the Xinshan Mine in front, and we all live together. β
"Oh, you're from the New Bahru Mine in front!" Team Dong nodded and asked, "Did the victim live with you yesterday?" β
The five-short man immediately said: "Yesterday the two of us came back first, he didn't return overnight, we are still a little strange, this is not going to the mine in the morning, I saw him in this alley, we were all scared to death, and we quickly called the police!" β
At this time, the forensic doctor also turned the body over, and we saw the frightened expression on the deceased's face, and there was also a wound in the abdomen, which reminded me of Chen Ming's death, the posture of these two people is almost the same, and the knife wound is almost the same, initially a knife in the abdomen, followed by a knife on the back to death!
A thought immediately flashed through my mind, and I hurriedly asked the five-short miner: "You have to go through this alley to work, don't you?" β
"yes!" The five-short-stature immediately pointed ahead and said, "We can walk one mile further on the mine, which is closer, but it is also very quiet, and no one usually walks." β
I nodded and asked, "Then when you come back in the evening, you will also pass through this alley?" β
The two men nodded their heads again and again, indicating that they would also pass through this alley at night.
Team Xing didn't understand what I meant, looked at me and asked, "Xiaoxiao, what do you want to ask?" β
Leng Tong interjected at this time and said: "Xiaoxiao wants to figure out the direction of the corpse, the victim came back from work, and walked in the direction of our alley, the same way the victim died yesterday, and even the reaction before death is the same!" β
"Yes!" I knew that Leng Tong would definitely be able to guess what I was going to ask, nodded and said: "I see that this victim has something in common with yesterday's victim, it seems to be very frightened, and the reaction after being stabbed is to turn around and run back, and may even exclaim instead of calling for help, which is a little strange." β
Team Xing was also stunned when he heard this, and quickly turned his head to look at the corpse, and couldn't help but nod.
Leng Tong and I also glanced at each other, the deaths of the two deceased are indeed similar, and the murderer's modus operandi is also the same, but the location of the crime is too far apart, will the two cases be related?
