Chapter 14: Du Wanqian (3)
After some inspection, we found Du Wanqian's hair and clothing fibers in the canoe, which was indeed used by the corpse throwers to transport Du Wanqian's body from the plank road to the lawn on the west side of the reed bank.
But the problem now is that if the murderer used this canoe to transport the body from the boardwalk in the east to the dumping site in the west, he would have to pass through the narrow passage of water below the observation deck, thus leaving traces in the calamus bushes below.
But the truth is, we didn't find any clues in that lush iris bush.
What kind of method did the murderer use to make the canoe row from the boardwalk to the reeds and back to the boardwalk, without leaving any traces in between?
And it is surprising that, judging by the degree of immersion of the canoe, the boat has been hidden under the trestle for not a day or two.
What surprised us even more was that even the leaves that covered Du Wanqian's body were not from the park's trees.
Regardless of whether the murderer was the one who threw the body or not, it can be determined that Luqiao Park was not the first murder scene, the canoe was also a tool for removing the body that had been prepared a long time ago, and the covering leaves for the burial of the body were also transported from other places.
It was a long-along, well-planned murder.
Coupled with the shape of Du Wanqian's corpse and the mark on his forehead, it looks like he is repeating some ritual, and there is a sense of mystery, which makes people worry.
However, this sense of ritual is completely different from the camouflaged sense of ritual of the three heads.
The case of three heads looks more terrifying and terrifying than Du Wanqian's death at first glance. But because there isn't much π in the surrounding environment, when that momentum passes, you feel like you're suddenly taken aback.
And Du Wanqian's pose in front of the reeds, the inscription on his head, including the covering, the path to transport the corpse, etc., everything fell into a fog. The more people think about it, the more unbelievable it feels, and the more they think about it, the more creepy they feel.
If you use an analogy, the three heads are like an American horror movie, bloody and exciting; And Du Wanqian's case is more like a Japanese horror movie, which pulls you into the abyss of horror when you want to speak and stop.
"This kind of case, if not solved as soon as possible, can easily become a serial case." Lin Ying said to Shen Yu worriedly.
"What do you mean?" Shen Yu asked sharply.
"I mean, Mr. Shen, can you give me some support? Let's get out of the case of the backstabber......"
I sat next to Shen Yu, obviously not very happy with her.
"Do you think the case of a rich man dying is a big case?"
"That's not what it means, as long as the murder is a big case, whether it is a rich man or a beggar."
"It's important to solve homicides, but it's also important to prevent homicides." Shen Yu stood up and said, "I can support Du Wanqian's case, but my first job is to take the blame for the case, because if that case is left unchecked, there will be murders soon." β
Lin Ying looked at me with a plea gaze, as if she wanted me to open her mouth to persuade Shen Yu.
I looked at her, then at Shen Yu, and then nodded at Lin Ying.
"That, although I'm a bit of an outsiderβ" I said to Shen Yu, "but after all, you see, Du Wanqian's death is so weird, isn't it ......?"
"You mean, weird is more like a puzzle, so you need me to help you solve it, right?" Shen Yu suddenly asked me with a smile, this smile made me feel a little weak.
"yes, that's what it means."
"Isn't the case of the backstabber also quite weird?" Shen Yu suddenly stopped smiling and glared at me.
"Ah-yes, yes, yes, so, I also think that the case of the back-handed man needs you more......" I was so frightened that I quickly changed my words, so angry that Lin Ying couldn't cry or laugh.
"Captain Lin," Shen Yu turned to Lin Ying and said, "Do you think there are too many illogic aspects of Du Wanqian's death?" β
"Of course. It's not difficult to murder, but it's a bit unbelievable to come up with so many ritualistic things after murder. β
"You're right, but if you put aside these ritual things, then murder is still murder."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, you might as well check what is behind Du Wanqian, judging from that canoe, the murderer can prepare for such a long time, he must have been prepared a long time ago, and there is a certain inducement. Du Wanqian is my student, she is not easy to say anything else, but she is quite good at grudging with others. That's why I don't think this case is difficult, but the case of the backstabber can't be solved. β
Lin Ying suddenly smiled.
"Well, Mr. Shen, I'll understand when I say that. I also agree now that the case of the backstabber is even weirder, you are busy with you, and Du Wanqian's case will be handed over to me. β
Shen Yu and Lin Ying nodded to each other and said goodbye, I followed Shen Yu to the parking lot, and as soon as I walked to the parking lot, I saw a figure hiding behind the car, looking at this side with a ghostly head.
Shen Yu glanced at me, I understood, and walked quickly towards the sneaky guy.
The guy was crouching behind the butt of a car and looking out, and I walked around behind him and patted him on the shoulder. He was visibly frightened, and jumped up with an exaggerated scream.
"How are you?" We both shouted at the same time.
This tiptoeing guy is none other than my distant cousin Yan Wei, a self-proclaimed writer who always serializes novels on the Internet and keeps coding words.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him.
"Oh, didn't I hear that there was a murder here, I'm writing a mystery novel, thinking about coming to the scene to absorb some negative energy, so I can find inspiration, hehe." He scratched his head and said, "Hey, what are you doing here, sneaking over, and I didn't feel good at first sight." β
"Who the hell are we sneaking around!" I pointed at Shen Yu with a smile and said, "I'll accompany her to investigate the case." β
This cousin, who was out of tune, glanced at Shen Yu in the car, shivered as if he had been shocked, and grabbed my hand excitedly.
"I'm going, isn't that the criminal nemesis, the strongest brain, the reasoning genius, the queen of logic, and the famous detective Shen Yu of Weiyang! Are you her henchman? β
"Where did you get so many titles wholesale?"
"I sealed her in my own novel, let me tell you a secret, the prototype of the protagonist in my novel is her - the first female detective Shen Yu!" He triumphantly turned on his phone, opened a novel called "The Seven Deadly Sins" and came to me, pointing and pointing.
"This is your original name, not the prototype, right?"
"How is the original name! My detective's name is Shen Yu! An oracle next to the words! It's not a verbal metaphor! It's a radical! β
"Well, you'd better not let her see your novel."
"I also wrote her as my wife's ...... in the novel"
"Then ask for your own blessings." I said, holding my head against the door.
"Look at you, no big or small, I'm your brother!"
"Don't make a fuss, if you weren't born prematurely, you should call me brother. Also, you robbed me of my name. I scolded him.
"Don't say it, don't say it, I see she's walking this way, first leg!" He patted me and then hunched over and tiptoed behind another car, only to hide and show his head again.
"Wooden stakes, don't be thieves when you walk in the future, or ......"
He retracted his head before he could finish speaking, and I saw that Shen Yu had already come around.
"Talk to whom?" She asked me.
"No, I didn't ...... anyone," I said.
"Dishonest." She muttered, but didn't dig any further.
"My hair has been a little split end lately, are you free for the afternoon?" She asked me.
"Yes, I have free time...... Originally, Lao Zheng of the company called me, saying that the editor-in-chief missed me and asked me to come over in the afternoon. But when Shen Yu looked at it with his eyes, I immediately forgot about the editor-in-chief in the gutter of Java.
"Accompany me to do my hair for a while, I hate it when my hair is curly." She said as she walked, "Then let's discuss the case of the backstabber." β
I hurriedly found a shade to call Lao Zheng and asked him to help me ask for leave, but I didn't expect that the person who answered the phone turned out to be Xin Xiaoruo.
"Hey, what do you want to do!" I don't know why, but every time she sees me, or hears my voice, she immediately gets angry.
"Xiao Xin, can you help me tell Lao Zheng and ask him to help me ask for a leave? I'm still working with the police......"
"You're a verbose person! Can't you just entrust me to ask for leave?! "She was so loud that it was almost like yelling at me.
"Ahh I didn't understand for a moment whether she was helping me or scolding me.
"There is still something to do with the rare book compilation project, if Lao Zheng is free, please ask him to do me a favor."
"Just contact the photocopying company for that little! I've already done it! β
"Huh? That, thank you! β¦β¦β
"Xie Nima, thank you!" She hung up with a "bang".
My ears were shaken and hurt, and I was in a daze with my mobile phone - what happened to Xin Xiaoruo, this child?
......
I've been to Shen Yu's office many times.
I was familiar with her condition, but that didn't mean she was very familiar with me, she rarely saw me in private, so the office was the place where I could see her the most.
The things in her room are very organized, unlike other teachers' cabinets full of books, and her cabinets are filled with hard drives one after another.
In her words, electronic storage is much more information than paper.
In addition to the hard drive cabinet, there is also a simple and practical hanger in the office. There was a yoga mat under the hanger, and a bag full of swimming gear was hung.
There are also two whiteboards for writing, one for recording the food and calories consumed at each meal, and the other for case analysis.
At this moment, a map of Weiyang City is hanging on the whiteboard used for case analysis.
The map also marks the location of the crime of the backstabber that we summarized two days ago.
