Chapter 10: Revenge
"After the autopsy, it was found that the deceased's stomach was empty, indicating that he had been killed at least four hours after eating. However, when we visited Xihe Town later, the owner of a barbecue restaurant and his staff told us with great certainty that this person ate a bowl of noodles alone at his house one night at almost 11 o'clock. Yang Rui said slowly: "The time he said happened to coincide very well with the time of the deceased's death. Suffice it to say that the deceased must have been killed after eating there that night. If this is the case, where did the deceased go in the more than four hours between leaving the barbecue stand and being killed? ”
Qiu Yu thought for a moment and asked, "How long does it take to get from the town to the scene?" ”
"I understand what you mean, we have calculated this, drive to the closest location to the scene, and the normal speed will take half an hour." Yang Rui's face was solemn, and he continued: "Although that road is an asphalt road, the road is narrow and sharp, and it can't go fast if you want to. After getting off the bus, it will take at least 30 minutes to walk into the valley, if you still have a person on your shoulder. In addition, it takes about ten minutes to take off people's clothes and tie them to trees. Calculated in this way, there are still close to three hours, where did the deceased go? You know, according to the owner and employees of the barbecue restaurant, we gathered a large number of people to visit the entire town and the surrounding villages, but unfortunately, no one except the restaurant had ever seen the deceased. ”
"Do you think it's possible for the people at that store to be lying?" Qiu Yu asked.
"We did have that idea, and then we went to the town several times at about eleven o'clock at night to check on the spot, and found that the boss was not lying. In the mountainous towns, after eleven o'clock at night, there is hardly anyone to be seen except for the few barbecue stalls where there will be people. Those small hostels and small hotels are all open, but no one is guarding inside, put a phone number on the counter, guests come to the hotel and need to stay on the phone number, after a while, they will come out of nowhere to open a room for you. So, it was normal that no one saw him that night except for the guy at the barbecue stand. ”
"In the beginning, we were investigating whether the deceased was a local, and we soon found out that the deceased was not a local from Creek River at all, but an outsider. He came here from somewhere else alone, and there was no means of transportation, so he had to do a shuttle. Along this line, we began to check from the shuttle bus, and soon found out that the deceased was indeed alone at the edge of Jingcheng at noon that day, and boarded a shuttle bus from Jingcheng to Xihe Town. It's a pity that he took a ride halfway and didn't buy a ticket with his real name, so he didn't find out the identity of the deceased from the ticket. ”
"Although the identity of the deceased was not found, we still got an important clue. The driver of the shuttle bus reported to us that after the deceased got into the car that day, a white SUV followed him far behind, and did not follow his car until the person got off the bus in Xihe Town. ”
"Has this car been found? Can you be sure that you were following the bus at the time? Qiu Yu asked with a frown.
"I didn't find it, the shuttle bus stopped all the way, and the car just followed from a distance. Xihe Town is a long way, and it is full of mountain roads, and when I go to the town, it is already close to eleven o'clock at night, and the driver has no chance to read the license plate clearly, and he has no leisure to care about this matter. Based on the surveillance video, we determined that the car was a white Tiguan, but unfortunately, the license plate was fake. We didn't give up, combined with the fact that the car and the deceased both left from Jingcheng, we thought that it was very likely that the suspect was a local of Jingcheng, so we checked the entire Jingcheng people who had a white Tiguan car, but unfortunately there was no progress. ”
"What do you think after two cases and so much work?" Qiu Yu asked again.
"In the first case, the deceased should have been carried by the suspect to the dilapidated building and tied up and killed after extremely excessive drinking and unconscious, in order to prevent the deceased from waking up and calling for help, he also used cloth to gag the deceased's mouth before killing, and then began to kill people slowly. After committing the crime, he should have cleaned up the scene and erased all the traces he could leave behind. Yang Rui thought for a while, and continued: "In the second case, the deceased had already been targeted by him, and when he saw the deceased in the car, he followed behind, waiting for the opportunity to commit the crime. It was not until the deceased left alone after eating supper that he found an opportunity to attack the deceased, and anesthetized the deceased's mouth and nose with a cloth stained with ether that had been prepared, and then took him to the inaccessible valley to kill him in the middle of the night. Although there has been no progress in the case so far, we can now make it clear that both cases were premeditated and planned intentional killings for the purpose of revenge. Prior to this, we had imagined whether there would be a possibility of perverted murder for fun, but after the investigation of the second case, this possibility has been completely ruled out. After Yang Rui finished speaking, he looked at Qiu Yu and asked: "What do you think the deceased is doing in this mountainous area alone in a car for seven or eight hours, if you can figure this out, it may be of great help to solve the case." ”
Qiu Yu thought for a while and said, "If you come to the mountains alone, you will either have your home here, or you will be looking for relatives, acquaintances or friends. Given the characteristics of mountainous areas, this kind of thing will spread very quickly, and it will not take a few days to spread all over the villages. You have been investigating for so long, but there is not a single local person who knows the deceased, which is enough to show that this person's home is not here, and he has come to find relatives, acquaintances or friends. And because this matter has been spread for a long time, but no one has taken the initiative to admit that the deceased is a person he knows, this can only show one problem, the person who the deceased came to find has a ghost in his heart. Even if a person is killed, he still doesn't dare to show his face to the police, which shows that the ghost in this person's heart is not small, and this ghost is also related to the deceased nine times out of ten. ”
Hearing this, Yang Rui frowned and fell into deep thought, and after a while, he nodded and said with a solemn face: "You mean, the deceased himself has a problem?" ”
"I don't dare to say absolutely, but it should be eight or nine and ten!" Qiu Yu frowned, and said with a solemn face: "It's not just him who has a problem, if I hadn't miscalculated, the deceased in these three cases should have a problem." There may be something unsightly about the three of them. ”
"Isn't that a bit arbitrary?" Yang Rui frowned and said: "After all, these three people are all victims, and now they have made this kind of conclusion without even figuring out their identities, I think we should consider it again." ”
"I think what Brother Qiu said is right." Wang Bing, who was sitting next to him and had not spoken, suddenly said with a serious face: "Before, I didn't know much about these cases, but after listening to you today, I also think that there must be something wrong with these three people." ”
"Why?" Yang Rui looked puzzled, and said: "You little fart knows a fart, don't follow it." ”
"That's how it is." was said to be a little child, Wang Bing looked unhappy, pouted and said: "You don't look at how miserable these three people died, if it weren't for the hatred of killing their father and taking their wives, who would have eaten enough and had nothing to do to kill people like this." ”
"This ......." Yang Rui couldn't find the words for a while, so he could only smile wryly and shut up.
"Huh...... What Wang Bing said is not unreasonable, but it is indeed one-sided. Qiu Yu smiled and said, "There are eight words of her words that I particularly agree with. ”
"Which eight words?" Wang Bing immediately became interested.
"The hatred of killing the father, the hatred of taking the wife." Qiu Yu said slowly: "Although it may not be true that he killed his father and wife, my intuition tells me that there is a deep hatred between them, otherwise, the suspect would not do this." He looked at Yang Rui and said, "Didn't you say before, almost everyone thinks that the suspect killed because of revenge." Since it is revenge, and it is used to the extreme cruelty, do you think this will be an ordinary vendetta? Since it is not an ordinary grudge, it means that they should have done something that is not only unseemly, but also extremely serious, and extremely harmful to the suspect. I think that this kind of thing may involve some serious crimes, but we don't know yet. ”
After Qiu Yu finished speaking, he stuffed another piece of candy into his mouth.
Hearing this, Yang Rui, who was already in a heavy mood, instantly felt that his head was as big as a bucket, and when he heard Qiu Yu eating candy there, he felt annoyed, and couldn't help but say: "Taro, I don't understand, you are a criminal investigation expert, why do you still love candy like a child." ”
Qiu Yu hurriedly restrained a little, and said with some embarrassment: "I had to quit smoking for the sake of future generations, and then I learned to eat this in order to coax my son, and then I became addicted, as long as I have something in my heart, I have to have one, hehehe...... Excuse me! ”
"I see, then give me one too." Wang Bing suddenly said with a serious face: "It seems that if you want to be a detective, you can't just have a brain, you have to eat lollipops." ”
Yang Rui was simply a black line, and Qiu Yu almost didn't squirt out.
"Crazy ghost, have you ever thought about the one hundred and three knives on those two corpses?" Qiu Yu suddenly frowned, and said with a solemn face: "I've been wondering, why are they all one hundred and three. It doesn't seem to be right to pronounce it with homophony, and there is no reasonable explanation for applying various mathematical formulas, metaphysics, ethnicity, religion, and even poker and mahjong. ”
"We have also thought and studied this question, but unfortunately, like you, we have no clue." Yang Rui also looked helpless.
"Have you counted the stick wounds on the deceased the day before yesterday?" Qiu Yu asked.
"The forensic doctor counted it, but the head ones were so dense that he couldn't determine how many hits he had received, but all the injuries on his body definitely exceeded the number of one hundred and three."
"Could it be someone's birthday?" Wang Bing ate a lollipop and said casually.
Hearing this, Qiu Yu was stunned and said, "It makes sense." ”
