Zhao Hui, a member of the frontline task force of the serial murder case, has been instructed in the past two days to visit furniture factories and carpenter shops all over the city, and according to his colleagues, the work has been about 80 percent complete, and the carpenter shops they will visit may be the last place.

The number of furniture factories in Gyeongju City was certainly not as large as that of the carpenters' private shops, and as soon as the instructions from the rear were delivered, they gave priority to visiting the furniture factories that were easy to find, but unfortunately, they did not get any clues from them.

Zhao Hui and another colleague in his entourage came to a carpenter's shop, where an old wooden sign hung next to the shop, and when viewed through the open door, there was a dazzling array of handmade tables, chairs, benches, wardrobes, cabinets, and some lifelike dolls in a corner closest to the door.

Behind this "finished area" seems to be the carpenter's workshop, which is an open open courtyard, unobstructed from the "finished area", and guests can see at a glance the slightly messy timber arrangement behind the work and the wood chips piled up next to the work table.

Zhao Hui and his colleagues walked in and looked at the various wooden tools at random, his eyes lingered for a moment on the pile of exquisite dolls made of wood, he felt that the craftsmanship of the craftsmen in this carpenter shop was much more exquisite than the carpenter shops he had visited before, which was reflected in the various wooden products.

Some of the beautiful chairs made him, who was not interested in wooden furniture, a little excited, and he felt that "the shape of this chair must be very comfortable to lie on".

The owner of the shop was still talking to a person who seemed to be a guest in the back of the workshop when they walked in, and they didn't intend to disturb the boss and the customer, and were ready to wait for them to finish talking.

While the boss and the guests were still talking, Zhao Hui walked around the wooden furniture, and also experienced a chair that he felt comfortable to lie down on.

His hunch was right, it was indeed comfortable to lie down.

"Uncle. When the colleague saw that the shopkeeper and the customer had ended their conversation, they shouted.

"Oh, I see. The shopkeeper patted the sticky sawdust on his palm and walked from the back to the foyer.

He had already caught a glimpse of Zhao Hui and the others while he was talking to the guest, after all, the uniforms of the City Guards on their bodies were not ordinary.

"What's the matter with the two of you?" asked the shopkeeper, rubbing his palms as he walked up to them.

The colleague gave the shopkeeper a gentle smile and said to him, "Don't be nervous, boss, we're just asking you something." ”

He also knew that the City Guard uniforms on them would cause some stress to ordinary people.

Zhao Hui also walked to the side of his colleague at this time, and nodded: "Well, it's just to ask about something; ”

"Haha, thanks for the compliment, these are handmade by the wooden people. The shopkeeper laughed.

"No, no, boss, your craftsmanship is really good, these wooden tools faintly reveal a hint of art, and the comfort of the furniture is also very strong, if I have time another day, I will come to you to carry a chair." Zhao Hui said with a smile.

"When the time comes, you will be welcome. The shopkeeper said happily.

Zhao Hui was not chatting outside his work, he and his colleagues could see that the shopkeeper was nervous in the face of them, and he was narrowing the distance between him and the shopkeeper through chatting, so that he could reduce his nervousness.

"Ahem!" Seeing that the expression on the shopkeeper's face had relaxed, his colleague coughed twice to draw his attention, and began to ask about the matter: "Uncle, that's the case, we want to know if anyone has repeatedly purchased some large wooden furniture from you during this time?"

"Large wooden furniture, how big is it, what type of furniture?" The shop owner scratched his head and asked, there are a lot of large wooden furniture on his side, and he doesn't know what type of wooden furniture Zhao Hui and the others want to ask about without knowing the specific information.

"It's about that big. Zhao Hui stretched out his hands and gestured, and then felt that his gesture was a bit stupid, and he couldn't specify how big it was, and then he changed it to a verbal description, "The shape on the outside may be different, but the shape on the inside is about the same, and the space can probably fit into a ...... One or two pigs like this. ”

Considering that it might cause unnecessary associations among the shop owners, Zhao Hui temporarily changed an adjective.

A colleague picked up Zhao Hui's words and added: "The characteristics of these large wooden furniture are that the material is very thick, the internal space is very large, and the shape of the space inside is basically the same;

"Well......" The shopkeeper looked down and thought for a while, and said, "According to your descriptions, there is indeed a customer who has repeatedly purchased several large wooden furniture from me, and these wooden furniture are several cabinets;

The shopkeeper remembered that he still had an unfinished cabinet in his hand, and asked the two of them.

The expressions on the faces of Zhao Hui and the others changed slightly, the answer of this shop owner was different from the answer of the owner of the carpenter shop they had visited before, and when they heard the last sentence of the shop owner, they all nodded: "Please take us to see it." ”

It's possible that they actually found the clue!

The shopkeeper led Zhao Hui and the two to the back of the work site, stopping in front of a "cabinet" that looked like a low wooden barrel, and the shopkeeper laboriously lifted the heavy wooden lid on the wooden tool, so that Zhao Hui and the two could see the whole picture of the cabinet in detail.

While Zhao Hui and the others were carefully examining the cabinets, the shopkeeper said to them: "The customer who asked me to order this kind of cabinet was a bit strange, he told me that the material used to make these cabinets must be thick enough wood, and he had to inspect it himself, and he would not pay if it was not qualified."

At the beginning, I made it clear to the guest that if it was only used as a storage cabinet, there was no need to use such a strong and heavy board, 30 to 40mm boards were enough, and the top and bottom boards of the wardrobe on the market were generally no more than 20mm, but the guest insisted that I do it according to his requirements.

It's a bit strange to ask, but whoever makes the customer a god, then I'll do it.

After completing such a cabinet according to the customer's requirements, the customer has been asking me to customize a cabinet that is the same as before every few days for some time, and I don't know what the guest wants these cabinets for. ”

Zhao Hui and the others stretched their heads into the cabinet and observed the internal structure of the cabinet, and after a few seconds, they stood up straight and glanced at each other, their eyes flashing with joy: I really found the clues of the murderer! The internal structure of the cabinet is exactly the same as the internal structure of the wooden cabinet where the four victims were imprisoned, and the grooves inside the cabinet and the top plate are obviously reserved for inlaid cameras and white lights, and the words of the shopkeeper also corroborate these clues that point directly to the murderer!

"Boss, ask, how many of these cabinets did that guest order from you?" Zhao Hui asked as he looked at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper patted the cabinet that was about to be completed: "Counting this, there are five in total." ”

Five, that is, at least four of these finished cabinets in front of them entered the hands of the murderer, which is exactly the number of victims...... But who is this fifth cabinet prepared for by the murderer? Is it a pre-emptive preparation for the next crime? Or is there already a fifth victim in his hands?

This matter has to be reported to the top.

Zhao Hui thought of this with his colleagues.

"Boss, since that guest ordered these cabinets from you, do you remember that the guest asked you to deliver these cabinets to that address?" asked Zhao Hui's colleague.

"I don't know. The shopkeeper scratched his hair, "My shop is only responsible for making some wooden furniture, and I didn't do the delivery, although I have limited cooperation with some moving companies, but the customer didn't use the moving companies I worked with, he asked the workers to transport it away."

Oh yes. ”

The shopkeeper remembered something and said to them, "The person I was talking to just now is the guest." ”

The shopkeeper's words were shocking, and the expressions on the faces of Zhao Hui and the others changed drastically, they didn't expect that the guest who was most likely the murderer of the serial murder case passed by them just now!

The two of them reacted and didn't have time to say a word, turned around and rushed out of the store, chasing down the street where the man had just left.

......

The failure to find the suspected murderer who had left was nothing unexpected, and by the time they questioned the shopkeeper, the suspected murderer's customer had already gone far away, and when they rushed into the street, they saw a scene of people coming and going.

Zhao Hui and the others looked at the crowded streets, and could only retreat to the carpenter's shop.

It didn't matter if they didn't catch the suspected murderer this time, the important thing was that they finally caught the clue to the murderer behind the serial murder, and there were several cameras on the street where the carpenter's shop was located, and their City Guard could find the man's trace through this.

Zhao Hui and the others, who returned to the store, collected the necessary information from the store owner about the suspected murderer, and then reported this information to the command team.

......

According to the information provided by the store owner, there is a man who is highly suspected of being the murderer behind the scenes, and the team members missed the person when they came to ask for information, but the surrounding surveillance must have recorded the person's whereabouts and appearance. Jin Huidian exhaled slightly, his eyebrows relaxed, and this time there was finally good news.
