Chapter 768: The Second Suspect
Leishan Town, the small courtyard of the bungalow where Guo Mingzhu lived ten years ago, is located on the outskirts of the town, but now it has developed nearby, and the former bungalow has also been built into a three-story villa with a courtyard.
Xu Zheng and the others rushed over this time to dig three feet into the ground here.
According to the municipal sewage discharge department, this piece of sewer has not been cleaned up in the past ten years.
So, in order to find out that Guo Mingzhu killed the child.
The little bit of debris left after the bones were split, Xu Zheng and the others decided to dig the sewer here.
It's not very hopeful, but what if you find a clue.
This is also because they have searched Guo Mingzhujin's home in Zhujin City and have found no clues related to the case.
In the end, everyone had to gather in Leishan Town, and a wave of people visited all the residents of Leishan Town who had been registered ten years ago.
On the other hand, with the support of the Leishan Township Police Station, the people who commanded the on-site investigation and trace inspection carried out a comprehensive excavation of the sewer in the courtyard where Guo Mingzhu lived ten years ago.
The bungalows here have been turned into three-story buildings, but the sewers outside the courtyard have not been renovated.
It is still a sewer built by municipal engineering more than ten years ago.
Unfortunately, the sewer owner in the yard was rebuilt when the house was rebuilt.
The garbage they fished out of the sewer back then had long since been thrown into the trash.
Now Xu Zheng and the others can only hope to open this piece of sewer and find what they need.
This is a big project, and the 400-meter-long sewer must be cleaned up, and no other garbage is needed, only bones.
When Xu Zheng and Yan Lao came here, it was already in full swing, and the hired workers drilled into the sewer, pumped out the water from this sewer, and began to pump the silt.
Then the sludge is rinsed clean, and the little bone residue in it has to be sifted out.
Of course, the most in the silt are small pebbles, after all, the sewers are under the road, and when it rains, the rain carries the small pebbles and settles underneath.
Because there was too much silt dug out, and the air was hot during the day, the staff of the trace inspection worked directly on the spot, under the activity tent, and worked hard with the stench.
It was not the first time that Xu Zheng had seen this kind of large-scale on-site operation to rummage for clues, but this time, he felt a little hanging.
Because there is no evidence to show that Guo Mingzhu was a child who was treated in this small courtyard.
But because there is no evidence, even if there is only a 1 percent chance, all the investigators are willing to search the sewer.
Elder Yan stared at the jet-black sludge, ignoring the fishy smell in the air, "Xiao Xu, you can't put your hopes on the existing investigation.
You need to come up with a better way, or else there is a good chance that this case will become a memetro."
Xu Zheng saw that Yan Lao regarded him as the leader of the investigation of this case, and he smiled bitterly in his heart, the case has reached this level, unless evidence or witnesses are found.
Of course, the best and best result is to find Liang Huan, the trafficker.
"Elder Yan, you said that people like Guo Mingzhu accidentally killed the first child back then, so can the second child be killed by mistake again?"
Elder Yan turned his head, a look of hesitation flashed across his face, "You mean, the second child was not killed by Guo Mingzhu, but someone else... Well, you have a point, too.
The first time he didn't see the contents of the bag, he fell straight down according to his habit, so the second time...
No, according to the information, he stopped selling dog meat shortly after the incident.
If the second child was not killed by Guo Mingzhu, there are two possibilities.
One is that Liang Huan killed the child, took it to Guo Mingzhu's house, and forced him to ask for money.
The other is that Liang Huan found another dog meat seller and cheated again."
Xu Zheng opened the electronic map on his mobile phone and found Leishan Town, "I remember that ten years ago, only Guo Mingzhu's family sold dog meat, if it is the second possibility you said.
Liang Huan should go to sell stray dogs somewhere else.
You see, Ray
To the west of Shanzhen is the Sixth Ring Road, and to the east is Jinshi, and to the north and south should be his best choice."
"According to you, you need to find a dog meat restaurant or dog meat vendor from 10 years ago." Elder Yan pondered for a moment, "Eggs can't be placed in a box, since they have to be checked.
I see that in a few nearby towns and villages, as well as inside and outside the Sixth Ring Road, all the suspicious dog meat restaurants or dog meat vendors ten years ago have to be investigated."
Xu Zheng nodded in agreement, and before he could continue to speak, Li Mingsheng suddenly walked quickly, with joy in his eyes, "Elder Yan, Xiao Xu, good news."
Ten years ago, around the time of the crime, a resident of Leishan Town saw Kwok Ming-chu riding his stall truck east in the direction of the North Canal in the middle of the night on a rainy night."
Xu Zheng hurriedly asked, "Are that man sure that the day he met Guo Mingzhu was 7.12?"
"It's just not sure." Li Mingsheng felt a little sorry, "This person is a customer of Guo Mingzhu, and he often buys dog meat at his stall.
Seeing that he was still going out in the rain in the middle of the night, he asked.
Guo Mingzhu just replied that he needed to go back to his hometown for something."
Elder Yan then asked, "Ten years ago, we sealed the camera footage of Leishan Town, can we find Guo Mingzhu's figure on the day of 7.12?"
"No, it's because of the heavy rain." Li Mingsheng pointed to the east, "You say, is it possible for Guo Mingzhu to throw the child's bones into the North Canal while there was still heavy rain in the dark night?"
"Of course it's possible." Xu Zheng also thinks so.
After all, throwing bones into a river is much better than throwing them in the trash, or decomposing them down the drain.
Elder Yan looked to the east, "The location of the North Canal is five miles east of Leishan Town, Guo Mingzhu rides his electric tricycle, even if it rains heavily, it will take half an hour at most to go back and forth.
I think I can send someone into the water to fish it out."
Li Mingsheng made another progress and affirmed: "We asked a lot of people, and we also asked people from the Leishan Town Police Station.
They have not received any reports that Mr. Kwok had killed stray dogs.
But ten years ago, some people said that there were indeed a lot fewer stray dogs.
I suspect that Guo Mingzhu must have bought it even if he didn't take the stray dogs himself.
So what does he do with stray dog fur?
It's definitely not okay to throw it in the trash, the dog's fur is very heavy and smells fishy, so I think he'll throw the fur in the North Canal."
The North Canal is very wide, the transportation on both sides of the river is convenient, find a place where no one is, tie the stone and throw it inside...
Xu Zheng reminded: "Brigade Li, the North Canal is very long, and we don't know where Guo Mingzhu will throw it, so you have to ask the colleagues involved in the salvage to be more patient."
Li Mingsheng laughed, "Don't worry, as long as there are clues, I can turn over the North Canal."
Soon, Xu Zheng saw the Lisuo of the Beijing City Police, Li Mingsheng walked to the side and made a few phone calls, and after more than ten minutes, seven or eight salvage boats floated over the North Canal.
Obviously, they were hired by the police to come and salvage the private company.
Compared with them, even if the Changming police had the money to hire a private salvage boat, they were not so generous to come seven or eight boats at once.
Li Mingsheng started salvaging here, and Xu Zheng and Yan Lao took people back to the city bureau first.
They didn't come back for a holiday, except for Yan Lao, who had a job, and someone had to investigate how many dog meat restaurants or mobile vendors there were near Leishan Town ten years ago.
Someone has to sort out Liang Huan's trajectory ten years ago...
After a lot of investigations, three dog meat restaurants were soon investigated.
Judging from the industrial and commercial registration, these three dog meat restaurants have been investigated, but only one is still in business, and the other two have long been cancelled.
Moreover, the one that is still out of business has also cancelled and replaced its industrial and commercial licenses.
However, because they had registered their names and phone numbers with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau ten years ago, they quickly found out their specific information, and through mobile phone location, they also found out their location.
Wait until the three-person information arrives
When Xu Zheng was on his desk, it was less than twenty minutes before they returned.
"Elder Yan, the work efficiency of the city bureau is very high."
"What is this, it's all electronic files now, as long as there is a name, these information are not difficult to find."
While chatting, the two checked the information of the owners of the three dog meat restaurants.
Ten years ago, the location of the dog meat restaurant they opened was indeed not too far from Leishan Town, both outside the Fifth Ring Road, except for one in Xiaoxing District, the other two were in Tongzhou District.
So the question is, which of these three is suspicious.
It's impossible, all three are suspicious.
"Elder Yan, I don't think the two of us should think about it, the owners of the three dog meat restaurants are all in the capital now, how about you work hard and follow me for a trip?" Xu Zheng proposed.
In fact, there is no need to come to the door in person for this job, you only need to notify the police station in the jurisdiction where the three people are now and let them rush over.
Moreover, Xu Zheng is only the consultant of this case, and if he comes to the door, he must have the official case-handling personnel with him.
Yan Lao understood why Xu Zheng had to go there in person, because he could see the reaction of the three of them at first sight and guess which of them was the suspect.
"You call Fan Yu from Group 6 and ask her to come over, and let's visit in person." Yan Lao instructed Zhu Qing.
When Fan Yu came over, Xu Zheng and his party drove to the nearest dog meat restaurant owner's house.
Sheng Zhongxin, who is 52 years old this year, lives outside the Fifth Ring Road of Beijing, near the Eighteen Mile Bridge, and now runs a small supermarket.
When Xu Zheng and a few people came to the door, he was guarding the store, playing with his mobile phone in his hand, and he didn't raise his head until Xu Zheng stood in front of him, and he didn't look up, "Are you going to buy something?"
Xu Zheng waved his hand and asked Fan Yu to take out her police ID card before he took out his mobile phone, "Mr. Sheng, we have a case that requires your cooperation.
If it's convenient for you now, please take a look at my phone, do you know this person?"
Sheng Zhongxin was tired of his heart, he was blocked at the cash register, and asked if it was convenient, but he didn't dare not cooperate, because the policewoman took out a criminal police work card.
Who is willing to provoke the criminal police, so he can only cooperate, took Xu Zheng's mobile phone, looked at it carefully, and said "Huh" in his mouth.
"It's not that... What's that called?"
"Liang Huan?"
Sheng Zhongxin nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, that's the name, it's the same name as an old star in our old capital, so you are looking for him."
Xu Zheng was happy in his heart, Liang Huan was really a professional person who secretly bought stray dogs, but at the same time, he was worried again, because when Sheng Zhongxin talked about Liang Huan, he didn't have a panicked expression.
Without waiting for him to ask again, Sheng Zhongxin spoke quickly and took the initiative to say, "You are looking for the wrong person, I did cross paths with him, but that was ten years ago.
I'll tell you the truth, I used to run a dog meat shop more than a decade ago.
This kid doesn't follow the right path, and steals stray dogs and sells them to me.
Hey... As you know, although this stray dog is a little more troublesome to peel and remove its hair, it is cheap.
So, I bought it from him a few times.
But not much, I think about it, it seems that there are not ten of them.
Then this kid quit, and I cut off contact with him..."
Xu Zheng listened to this boss Sheng's long paragraph, and talked in great detail about how he and Liang Huan met and talked about business... looks like the old Beijing people love to chatter, and I really can't stand it.
"Boss Sheng, you leave us a contact information, we have other tasks today, if necessary, we may contact you again."
After coming out of here, Xu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly rushed to the next one.
Fan Yu saw that Xu Zheng was not suitable for the enthusiasm of the people in the capital, so he wanted to take the initiative to take over the next work, "Team Leader Xu, or I'll ask you later, how about you do it on the side?"
"That's fine." Xu Zheng was as good as a stream, and reminded, "Let's look for them one by one this time
The main task is to observe their first reaction."
As long as the owner of the dog meat restaurant saw the photo of Liang Huan and the two children, his first reaction was different, such as panic, fear and other negative emotions.
Or the constriction of the pupils, the breath disorder, etc., may be related to the case.
The owner of the second dog meat restaurant found is very young, only 36 years old this year, and he was only 26 years old ten years ago, and he runs a dog meat hot pot restaurant of more than 100 square meters at such a young age.
However, now what people are doing is no longer a dog meat hot pot restaurant, but a hot pot city in Sichuan and Chongqing.
When Xu Zheng and the others arrived at Sichuan-Chongqing Hot Pot City, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon.
At this time, the hot pot city happened to rest, and the boss Hua Xu received Xu Zheng and his party in his office on the second floor.
Entering the office, Fan Yu didn't say a word and directly lit up his documents, Hua Xu was stunned, "Criminal police? Is there anything you can do with the officers?"
"Mr. Hua, we have a case here that needs your cooperation, is it like this, do you know this person?" Fan Yu took out his mobile phone and found a photo of Liang Huan.
"No... I don't know." Hua Xu didn't know why, looking at this group of policemen, or criminal police, staring at him fiercely, he was a little nervous, glanced at his mobile phone and said that he didn't know him, and wanted to send them away as soon as possible.
Just at this glance, his originally nervous heart jumped violently.
Because of the photos on his phone, he really knows it.
It's even very familiar.
People tend to forget to manage their expressions when they are panicked.
Xu Zheng and Yan Lao saw it very clearly, after the boss of the hot pot city saw the photo, panic flashed in his eyes, his lips trembled instantly, and just when he wanted to explain, he subconsciously clenched his teeth again.
