Xu Zheng took the owner of Gao Laozhuang B&B and all the tourists here as suspects this time, and after a little discussion, they affirmed his idea, and under the dispatch of Xia Zhongqing, the police searched Gao Laozhuang again.

Like this kind of search, the police do not have a search warrant, if you are the owner of the B&B, if you want a search warrant, then it will be reissued for you later.

Of course, the owners of Gao Laozhuang B&B are all businessmen, and no one will waste their time because of a search warrant for the police to suspect themselves.

Including the B&B that the police have been requisitioning, the owner Song Dawei is a slightly short and chubby middle-aged man, when he heard that the police were going to search his homestay again, there was no abnormality on his honest face, and he smiled directly: "Haven't you police officers searched several times?" ”

As soon as Song Dawei said that, he felt wrong, and hurriedly changed his words, "Our store will be handed over to you for use today, you can search as you want, we definitely have no opinion." ”

His wife kept nodding beside her, "Yes, yes, our house is as you search, you have also seen it, we are such a big place, how can there be two people hidden?" ”

Since the Haizhou police requisitioned their homestay, these two people have stayed in their own rooms on the second floor most of the time except for cooking at noon, and if it weren't for the two hidden cameras in the restaurant that gave Xu Zheng inspiration, he really wouldn't have suspected this Song Dawei and Gao Laozhuang.

When everything is lost, the investigative thinking still has to go back to the original point.

Although the Haizhou City Police had tour guides to lead the search of Huaguo Mountain, and even some of the tour guides were the owners of Gao Laozhuang's homestay, if someone intercepted and killed them halfway, and then hid the body.

In this environment of heavy rain and wind, there are basically no clues.

Xu Zheng had an idea, and glanced at this Song Dawei again, he walked up to Xia Zhongqing, and whispered: "Xia Ju, otherwise, let's ask several owners of B&Bs near Gao Cuilan's house to take us around a one-kilometer radius of Gao Laozhuang, how about it?" ”

Xia Zhongqing's eyes lit up, yes, if you ask these bosses one by one in the homestay, even if the murderer is one of them, as long as he has a strong psychological quality, it is basically difficult to find their suspicious points.

Some people expose their thoughts when they ask, but some people are strong when they are in trouble, and the more difficult the predicament, the stronger their psychological quality will be, so they may not be able to find out who the real murderer is when asking.

The method proposed by Xu Zheng, Xia Zhongqing thought about it for a while, and felt that it was feasible, and when the time came, he would observe while walking, and the murderer would revisit the old place, what if the stuffing was exposed?

"I think your proposal is feasible, then without further ado, while it is not yet dark, let's act."

Next, Xia Zhongqing personally came to the door and invited several homestay owners near Gao Cuilan's house to be tour guides, and he came forward, even if someone didn't want to go, he had to follow, after all, he was the deputy director of Haizhou City.

Let the fire come twice, this homestay will not be able to open, and no one wants to upset the leader!

At half past four in the afternoon, the five homestay owners, Xia Zhongqing and Xu Zheng, as well as several tracking experts, walked to the last place where Shi Daodao and Du Shuqing disappeared from the camera.

Of the five B&B owners, Pu Lei was the most active, he walked in the front, and his raincoat couldn't stop his enthusiasm, "Xia Ju, you see, those two killers and murderers ended up going down the mountain here." ”

Although the place he pointed to was also a hillside, it was not steep, and it was possible to walk down slowly.

Xu Zheng clasped his hands together, tucked into the sleeves of his raincoat, and bent his body, but he was still shivering with cold, he stood forward, looked at the hillside, and frowned, he could indeed go down here.

Because there is a dirt road here, but this path is lined with trees, mostly maples, and the maple leaves cover the entire ground, and there are no footprints left under the rain.

Xia Zhongqing glanced at Xu Zheng, and saw that he didn't say anything, so he raised his hand, "Everyone, the purpose of inviting you here today has just been said, and now I will reiterate again, let's just walk along your Gao Laozhuang, within a radius of one kilometer."

You are the old landlord here, and you are more familiar with the grass and trees here than we police, so if you notice something wrong on the road, alert us. ”

Gao Laozhuang is a kilometer radius, in addition to a few hillsides, there are also north-south mountain roads, there are no other scenic spots, but there are many caves in this Huaguo Mountain, and there are still four or five caves within this kilometer.

Pu Lei responded positively to Director Xia's words and wiped the drops of water on his face, "Xia Ju, don't worry, I will definitely observe carefully this time..."

"Xia Bureau, we will do our best this time to help you catch the murderer as soon as possible..."Other homestay owners are not far behind, scrambling to express their position.

Xu Zheng was secretly observing on the side, not to mention, he really found that two people were abnormal, one was Pu Lei, which was really positive.

The other is Song Dawei, who has been reluctant since he was invited, and now everyone is expressing his position, but he just moved his mouth and didn't make a sound, but the meaning of his lip expression is not to support the police.

"Knock down you old Pu, there's nothing to do!"

This is the Haizhou dialect, according to the dialect that Xu Zheng learned before, this sentence translated into Mandarin is, "Fall to death you old Pu, useless thing!" ”

Xu Zheng didn't know if he was talking like this because Pu Lei was too enthusiastic and resentful, or because he had a ghost in his heart.

But that's a good thing, and let's see, there's still a long way to go.

The mountain road is not easy to walk, even if it is not a steep slope, plus it rains, the rain is a little slippery, but you can still go down the mountain by walking slowly, Pu Lei leads, and everyone follows him.

As he walked, he looked around, and saw a small puddle somewhere on the hillside and pointed it out to Xia Zhongqing, "Xia Bureau, look, there should be a pit there, is it the kind of pit you asked for burying people?" ”

Xia Zhongqing waved his hand, and the two special police officers who followed behind walked over with shovels, probed for a moment, and replied, "Xia Bureau, the soil below is very hard, and the area is only one square meter. ”

When Pu Lei heard this, this was definitely not, and hurriedly led the way, and then he pointed to a few thick trees, "These trees are hundreds of years old, and they basically have tree holes, which can hide a small child, if the murderer rolls up, he can hide in it." ”

This time, the two special police officers did not wait for the instructions of the leader and ran directly to investigate, but unfortunately they did not find any living people or corpses.

Along the way, the five homestay owners also found out, some pointed out the cave, some told the police which rock to hide, and some pointed to the big tree and said that people can also hide there.

Song Dawei naturally also said, pointing to a certain bush, "Xia Ju, there is a hidden cave behind this bush, the opening is very small, and it can only be drilled into a small child, I don't know if it is the place you are looking for?" ”

The two SWAT officers opened the bushes and revealed a hole the size of a basketball, and the flashlight light penetrated it, and found that the hole was not large, and there were no traces of blood in it, and there was no smell of blood.

Xia Zhongqing instructed the special police to transfer a police dog and go in to check it out.

At this time, Xu Zheng, who had been secretly observing Song Dawei in the dark, found that this person's lips opened and closed a few times, and the words of the lip translation should be "gluttonous", which means fool and brainless in Mandarin.

He obviously deliberately pointed to the wrong place, and he knew that the police couldn't find anything, and there was a feeling of playing with the police, but unfortunately his raincoat and hat were a little low, covering his eyes, and Xu Zheng could only see what his lips were saying.

Everyone continued to walk along the dirt road, until they came to a fork in the road, one to the south, one to the north, can not go straight along the path just now, otherwise there is a cliff in front of it, and under the cliff is a mountain road, and if you fall down, you will fall to death!

Xia Zhongqing was a little disappointed when he saw that he still hadn't found anything along the way, especially when his colleague who stayed in Gao Laozhuang sent a message saying that he hadn't found anything suspicious in these homestays.

His mood was suddenly the same as this winter rain, cold and damp, and he looked at Xu Zheng again, meaning to go back to his home, or continue to search for other places.

Xu Zheng stood up at this time, walked to the front, looked around left and right, and asked Pu Lei with a pretended to be a lost lake on his face, "Boss Pu, if you are the murderer, what will you do now?" ”

When Pu Lei heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he stammered: "This... This policeman.. Comrade, you can't talk nonsense, how can I be a murderer? ”

Xu Zheng hurriedly explained with a smile, "Don't worry, I mean if, if you are the murderer, it is not that you are suspected!" ”

"That's it!" Pu Lei subconsciously wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, but he felt that this made him feel weak, in fact, he didn't know why he was weak, swallowed his saliva, and took a deep breath, "Comrade policeman, if I... I'm the murderer, so I'm going west.

Because it is a dead end to the east, and one mile further on is the Great Sage Lake, and you can't go directly to the lake, you have to jump off the five-meter-high cliff, who dares to jump. ”

Xu Zheng nodded hurriedly, he asked several other homestay owners one by one, they all meant this, and finally, he asked Song Dawei casually: "Boss Song, what do you think?"

Although Xu Zheng was talking to the others just now, he had been paying attention to Song Dawei, and found that when he asked Pu Lei where he was going, this Boss Song obviously had an abnormality, and his face covered by his raincoat turned to the east.

Xu Zheng also found that the palms under Song Dawei's raincoat were clenched together, which was obviously very worried about this kind of performance.

"I also have an opinion with everyone, going east is a dead end, and those who are familiar with the terrain here know it." Song Dawei said in an unhurried voice, acting very calm, just like his chubby face, giving people a sense of honesty.

"Then let's go east, if we really go to the end, we will turn back, but this will be hard for everyone." Xu Zheng pointed to the east and said undoubtedly.

Everyone present thought that the police leaders would follow the good flow and go west, including Xia Zhongqing and those tracking experts, but who knew that Xu Zheng would go against the advice of those homestay owners.

Pu Lei and the rest of the B&B owners looked at Xu Zheng and then at Xia Zhongqing, and they didn't know who to listen to for a while, after all, one of these two people was old, and the other looked like a college student.

Xia Zhongqing knew that Xu Zheng was not talking nonsense, so he didn't wait for everyone to discuss it again, and walked directly towards the east.

Seeing this, everyone had to hurry up, Pu Lei and the other B&B owners glanced at Xu Zheng again before leaving, their eyes were inexplicable, it was estimated that they felt that they were looking away, who would have thought that Director Xia would listen to a young man's words

And not at all to refute it!

Less than 20 meters to the east, Xu Zheng found that this road was more difficult to walk than the small dirt road just now, and even the road was almost gone, there were dead yellow weeds and branches everywhere, and there were still a lot of large and small stones.

Pu Lei pointed to the hillside above and explained to Xia Ju: "When we were building the road above, we threw all these gravels here, so the further we walked, the more we had to pay attention to our feet, some of the stones were particularly sharp..."

Xia Zhongqing lifted his soaked shoes, which were covered with mud, "I said, there was very little mud on the road just now, but when I walked here, there was mud everywhere, and it was really not easy to walk." ”

He looked back again and asked the tracking experts, "Master Xie, have you searched this piece before?" ”

This Master Xie is a master of the criminal investigation team of the provincial department and a tracking expert, and he hurriedly said: "This piece is really difficult to walk, and one of our colleagues kowtowed here, so we later used a drone to investigate." ”

Xu Zheng listened to their chat, but his mind was all observing Song Dawei, but unfortunately the raincoat and hat covered his eyes, and he could only understand his thoughts from his body movements and lips.

Not to mention, the farther he walked east, the more sluggish he felt to Xu Zheng, originally he walked in front of Xu Zheng's side, and slowly he was about to walk side by side.

Obviously, Song Dawei was subconsciously reluctant to move forward.

But how could his arms be twisted over his thighs, Pu Lei led the way in front, followed by Xia Zhongqing, and then everyone behind could only follow their footprints forward, including Song Dawei, who was still hesitant.

But he hesitated a little longer, and it took twenty minutes to walk this short mile, and further on, there was the Great Sage Lake, a little far away, and he could see the mist floating on the green water.

Pu Lei stopped three meters away from the cliff, "Xia Bureau, you can't go any further, if you go further, it will easily cause a landslide, this place has collapsed before." ”

Xia Zhongqing looked around, except for a few big stones, there was no place to hide, because there was a road under the cliff, and it could also be a landslide here, so the scenic spot built some pillars on the edge of the cliff to prevent landslides.

"Xiao Xu, do you think we should go back, or go down from here?"

Xu Zheng took a step forward at this time, just walked in front of Song Dawei, glanced at him sideways, and saw that he was pale, biting his lip, and his nostrils were protruding.

Seeing Xu Zheng suddenly turn around and observe himself, Song Dawei suddenly fell into an ice cave, his whole body seemed to be frozen, as if his hidden secret had been discovered, "Police... Comrade policeman, you... Is there something you can do? ”
