Chapter 120: Killing People and Killing Mouths
"Really!" Ren Yonghai continued, "It is difficult to investigate these missing people in different areas and at different times, because there are no direct clues to show that they are not independent cases, after all, there are cases of lost and missing people in every place every day, so I focused my investigation on transportation." ”
"Traffic?" I was surprised, "What can you find out when you check the traffic?" ”
"It's still inspired by you." Ren Yonghai smiled mysteriously and said, "Last time I was in the cemetery, it was you who said that these missing people from all directions converged on one point, which is an important key point. These people, to be precise, are corpses, they can't be walked over by themselves, someone must transport them! ”
I nodded and said, "You're right, so what did you find?" ”
"Originally, checking traffic health was a matter of looking for a needle in a haystack, and I didn't have the hope of being able to find out immediately, but this time it seems that God is helping us, so I can successfully find the clue."
"Oh? What did you find out about it? ”
"Lao Youxin!"
"Lao Youxin? Isn't he dead? ”
"Yes, Lao Youxin is dead, but he died strangely." Ren Yonghai continued, "Aren't we investigating the ancient tomb case and the corpse robbery case now, Lao Youxin is an important witness in the corpse robbery case, and we have been conducting a thorough investigation of him, so naturally it is indispensable to check his whereabouts." ”
"But I remember that this Lao Youxin has almost no social activities except for commuting, and his behavior is unlikely to be suspicious."
"We did conduct an investigation last time, and the conclusion of the investigation did prove that he had no traces, but, unexpectedly, I saw him in the surveillance video."
"Surveillance? Where is it? I was surprised, "It's getting more and more interesting." ”
"High-speed toll booths." Ren Yonghai affirmed, "At that time, he was driving a minivan, and when he passed by the highway toll booth, he was captured by surveillance video, and the time he drove the vehicle was very strange, it was around 12 o'clock at noon." ”
"Big noon? No, this Lao Youxin looks at the morgue, usually the night shift, and twelve o'clock during the day is the time for him to rest, how can he be driving at this time? ”
Faced with my question, Ren Yonghai gave an answer and said: "This is just the first place of abnormality, and then, I followed his driving tricks all the way to check the surveillance, and guess what?" ”
"What's wrong?"
"Lao Youxin drove into Xi'an, and he didn't lose his surveillance until he arrived at Pingjiang Road, Pingjiang Road, you should be familiar with it, right?"
"Pingjiang Road is the only way to go to the cemetery."
"Yes!" Although Ren Yonghai didn't directly tell me his suspicions, I was already able to judge what Ren Yonghai meant.
"You mean, it was Lao Youxin who transported the body to the cemetery?"
But even so, I still feel that something is wrong, this Lao Youxin I have been in contact with before, he is not like a person who has something to do with the practice of corpses, even if he has this ability, he doesn't have that guts.
"Whether he is the mastermind or not, I dare not say, but even if he was coerced, it is a sure thing that Lao Youxin is seriously suspected in this case."
"Coercion?" I nodded thoughtfully and said, "If it's coercion, although it's more likely, it doesn't make sense." ”
"Where doesn't it make sense?"
"Why didn't he say it when we found him, and he didn't seem to know anything about it."
"That's what he pretended! We all underestimated him, thinking he was just a janitor. ”
"What about the motive? For money? How much money did the other party promise to give him? And why did you choose him? ”
"I'm afraid we won't know until the truth comes out."
"Lao Ren, have you checked his trajectory before he arrived at the toll booth?"
"Of course I did." Ren Yonghai said, "His previous trajectory is very special, we screened every complete line when he passed through the Xi'an toll station, and found that he set off from a different place every time, but the time was without exception daytime, either eleven or twelve o'clock." ”
"Are all locations in your county?"
Ren Yonghai paused and said, "That's not it, I'm a little strange at this point, the places he set off from are all cities where the missing people are." For this reason, I also went to check Lao Youxin's attendance records, and found that he went to work on time every day, got off work on time, and never missed work. ”
"That's the suspicion."
"We're looking into this problem."
"No matter what the reason is, it is now almost certain that Lao Youxin played the role of a corpse practitioner in the task of transporting corpses, and the missing persons in different areas were transported to the cemetery by Lao Youxin by car from different places, and then the corpse practitioners practiced corpses in this Kowloon Town Soul Bureau." After listening to Ren Yonghai's clue report, I was probably able to sort out such a closed loop, "With the last corpse, that is, the body stolen from the morgue, being transported to the cemetery, the Rakshasa blood corpse refined by the corpse practitioner has now reached the stage of completion, as a key person, and also the object of suspicion and investigation by the police, Lao Youxin is now an abandoned child for the corpse practitioner, and it has reached the point where it has to be discarded." ”
"Your analysis makes a lot of sense." Ren Yonghai took my words and said, "I seriously suspect now that this Lao Youxin was killed by the other party as a hot potato." ”
"It seems that the two of us want to go together, and I also think that Lao Youxin's death may be murder."
In any case, Lao Youxin's death illustrates a potential problem, that is, the man who has been dormant in the hidden corner that we cannot see can not wait to sweep away all the "incriminating evidence" left behind by his crime, in other words, he can no longer sit still, and has a premonition that danger is imminent.
"Since he wants to kill people, he must have a premonition of danger, so the question is, Lao Ren, with your years of experience as a criminal policeman, what kind of situation do you think will make this murderous real murderer feel dangerous."
"Got stepped on the tail." Ren Yonghai replied without thinking, "With my many years of experience in handling cases, there is only one situation that is logical, no matter what way the other party goes, whether it smells the wind or smells it, in short, I am afraid." ”
"Hahaha, Lao Ren, your analogy is good, the vivid image is also to the point, I also wondered, according to common sense, when we were investigating the theft of the corpse in the morgue before, it cannot be said that there was no movement, at least the police investigation is on the surface, if the other party is afraid, they should take action at that time, but at that time they didn't, it seems that there is no fear."
"That's right, I also have this suspicion of yours, I thought at first, could it be because with your help, we successfully found out the fact that Lao Youxin stole the body, so that the other party couldn't sit still."
I shook my head and replied: "If it is because of the chain reaction triggered by Lao Youxin's investigation, it is not obvious enough in terms of motives, at least not convincing. ”
"Yes, this really doesn't make sense, first, if this Lao Youxin is really an accomplice, the other party is afraid that he will be exposed because of him and killed him, why did he choose to choose an earlier and more unexpected way at this time, isn't it more advantageous? Second, if it wasn't the problem, then there was another reason why it happened during this time period, and I have to suspect that something went wrong with my investigation. ”
Ren Yonghai's words made my back chill, "What? You mean someone leaked the news? ”
"Lin Kun, this is just my speculation, I have no object of suspicion, nor any basis, it is completely based on my own intuition, you think, we found the cemetery, no one knows about it so far, we will not be seen in that place, then the only possibility is that there was a mistake in the subsequent investigation, and many things in the process of investigation cannot be completely confidential, it is completely possible to leak the rumors."
I nodded thoughtfully and said, "Lao Ren, let's not talk about this matter on the phone first, when will you come to Xi'an, let's talk." ”
"Okay, an hour at most, we'll meet and talk."
"Okay, be careful on your way."
Hanging up the phone, I took a deep breath, and suddenly there was a sense of tension that "black clouds are crushing the city and wanting to destroy it".
I was restless, and I couldn't wait patiently at home.
When I looked at my watch, it was almost early in the morning, and Qiu Xiaoyan hadn't come back yet.
So, I simply got dressed and went to the bar to look for her.
I went to the bar without saying hello, and Qiu Xiaoyan felt very surprised, and with her sensitive intuition of the black fox in the middle of the night, she immediately realized that something was wrong.
And I was also very surprised, because I saw a fat man in the bar with a chicken leg in his left hand and coffee in his right hand, looking at the door with a wistful mind. At the door, a few female college students happened to walk in, which made the fat man's eyes shine, and he couldn't wait to rush forward immediately.
"Damn, why is this fat man here?"
The fat man never reports to me now, and even I don't know where he is fooling around.
"Who called him an uncle!" I cursed in my heart, but I didn't dare to say anything, this kid might become an important chess piece in the future, and it can't be exposed too soon.
So, I pretended to be casual and went to the bar.
It seems that the fat man has been doing it here for more than an hour. On the plate next to him, there was a big push of chicken bones. It seemed like he could always conjure up chicken legs. And the people who were sitting around him were far away.
And the fat man waved the chicken leg in his hand from time to time and asked the person next to him: Hey, man, do you want to eat chicken legs? Or: Beauty, brother invites you to eat chicken legs......
And the most depressing thing is that there is a beautiful store manager with a crooked mouth on the bar-Qiu Xiaoyan. I thought that this fat man was dressed noblely, with a big diamond ring, and he also ordered the most expensive wine in the store. As a result, the fat man tricked out a chicken leg from his arms, drank Lafite, and ate the chicken leg over and over again, making the customers sitting next to him frown one by one.
"Why are you here?" Qiu Xiaoyan asked.
"What's going on with that guy?" I pretended not to know and glanced at the fat man.
"I was raptured, what kind of people have seen it, but I haven't seen anyone who drinks Lafite while eating chicken legs." Qiu Xiaoyan sighed, "If it weren't for the fact that the fat man consumed a lot of money, I would have kicked him out of the store a long time ago." ”
"Harmony makes money, why not do it if you have business." I had to laugh.
Guo Fatman had already discovered that everyone in the store, from the boss to the waiter, looked at him with an unkind eye. He didn't care, and even grinned at the waiter.
"You haven't answered my question yet, why did you suddenly come to see me today?" Qiu Yanyan is determined to judge for herself.
"I have something to do, I made an appointment."
"Dating someone?" Qiu Xiaoyan glanced at me and sneered: "Your heart is really big, if you ask the girl to come out, why don't you go somewhere else, do you want me to be jealous?" ”
"Look at what you said, if it's a date, will I still come here, what's more, how can I have a girl appointment, except for you, I don't have an appointment with anyone now."
"I'm not kidding you, what the hell is going on?"
"Ren Yonghai and I are investigating a case and are in some trouble."
"Or was it last time?"
I nodded and said, "The person will be there soon, I suspect that he and I are being targeted, so I arranged to meet here, the bar is crowded with people, and it is not easy to be watched." ”
"Are you really being watched?" Qiu Xiaoyan was shocked by this, "She's a policeman. ”
I shook my head and said: "It's not accurate, it's not necessarily a stalk, but there must be something boring, the important clues he found, don't kill it not long ago, the news must have leaked out from the inside, so I have to guard against it." ”
