Chapter 13: The Hammer in the House
I commanded some of the team members to search separately along the way, and I took a team of people and went straight to the construction site.
chased out in the direction, and when I turned around, I found that Huang Na had also followed, and when I saw her looking at her, she only glanced at me lightly and did not speak.
But pay more attention, and keep an eye out for blood on the ground as you follow the direction.
But the trail of the drop of blood was never seen after a few steps from the corpse, as if it had completely disappeared, and nothing was found along the way.
Soon came to the construction site, which was still as busy as ever, and when we saw a group of uniformed police officers coming, the workers were a little surprised, and they all stopped their work and looked at us, not knowing what was going on.
instructed the two team members to find Xie Dacheng, and he began to shout to the workers,
"There was a murder in the riverside park, and someone said that the murderer ran in your direction, did you see any suspicious people running here?"
When the workers heard this, they all looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, but they all shook their heads.
"Harboring a murderer is also a crime, if you have any news, report it in time, provide clues, and a cash reward, if you conceal it and don't report it, you will be convicted together!"
The workers were a little frightened, and for a while there was a lot of talking, but they all said that they didn't see anyone coming this way.
Although he had already guessed that this was the result, he was still a little unwilling, and at this time the team members came over with Xie Dacheng.
Xie Dacheng approached me and looked at me with a confused expression, as if he didn't know what was going on, although I had always suspected Xie Dacheng, but there was no evidence, so I had to ask him patiently.
Xie Dacheng's appearance at this time was completely inconsistent with the image said by the witnesses, although his body was covered with dust, there was no trace of blood.
In terms of time, from the time we received the report to the present, the time is less than an hour, which should not be enough for him to rush back from the scene of the crime to wash and change clothes.
Sure enough, Xie Dacheng has been staying on the construction site to work today, and has not left, nor has he returned home, so I have no choice but to give up.
Huang Na kept staring at Xie Dacheng, staring at him so much that he was a little scared, and his body trembled with fear.
Tell the workers that if they find any clues, they should report to the police force in time, and those who provide clues will be rewarded, and then they will be ready to close the team.
But when I left, I faintly felt a little uncomfortable, looked back, and sure enough, Xie Dacheng was looking at me, and when he saw me looking at him, he immediately turned his head, and his eyes made me very uncomfortable.
Back in the police force, I was a little angry. It has been almost a week since Liu Guilan was killed.
In just one week, two similar cases have occurred, and as the person in charge of the case, I have not found any useful clues until now.
Liu Guilan's death, I once suspected that Wang Lianxiang pretended to be crazy and stupid after murder, but at the same time that she is now in the hospital, this case happened again, which dispelled this doubt.
According to eyewitness accounts, the arrest notices were plastered all over the streets, but no one came to provide clues.
I began to increase police patrols and search in urban areas, and to conduct interviews and investigations among the people.
Finally, on the third day, a little news came from the team.
The news came from a civilian house in the old city, and some people said that there was a resident there, who had never seen anyone in or out, but there was some foul smell coming from the house, and some dark shadows could always be seen nearby, and some people were unbearable, so they called the police.
When I received the news, I immediately rushed over with someone.
Most of the people living here in the old town are elderly, and few young people want to live here. The dilapidated houses, coupled with the narrow passages, are not very convenient for people to walk, and vehicles cannot pass through them at all.
Outside the room, sure enough, before I got close to the room, I already smelled some stench.
Walking to the door, Lao Zhang knocked on the somewhat dilapidated door, but did not hear a sound from the house, Lao Zhang glanced at me, saw me nodding, and pushed the door open.
The door was easily opened, and as soon as it was opened, there was a pungent smell.
The lighting in the house is very bad, a piece of black, turn on the flashlight to shine through, it turned out to be a small table, placed an incense burner, the three incense sticks are still burning, has burned to the end, and what it enshrines is a porcelain statue of Guan Erye.
The team members were instructed to turn on their flashlights and shine them in all directions of the room, and the room suddenly became bright.
The interior of the house is very simple, there is no basic decoration, and there are very few objects. Except for the heavy smell of burning incense, all that was left was a damp, musty smell.
I thought it was strange that the puddles of water on the ground were smelling bad. The structure of this room is very strange, except for a door, there are no windows, the water on the floor does not come from nowhere, and the entire wall and ceiling except for the ground, but there is no dampness at all.
The informant smelled a stench that was clearly not from the water on the ground, and I turned my gaze to the only connected door in the house.
Lao Zhang felt that something was wrong and signaled me to be careful, I nodded, pulled out the matching gun and held it in my hand.
As soon as the door opened, a violent stench came to my face, Xiao Luo asked me if it was the smell of corpses, I shook my head, I have been in contact with the smell of corpses a few times, and the smell is still different from what I smell now, this should be the sour smell of garbage.
I took a flashlight and looked around, and sure enough, I found a pile of garbage in the corner of the wall, all of which were food scraps, piled up together, and I couldn't see the original color anymore.
If you look closely, you can also see that it is crawling with a large number of maggots, wriggling up and down, and before you get closer, a large number of flies are flying.
The top layer should have just been thrown in, and some of them can still be vaguely seen in the original appearance of the food.
After a thorough search of both rooms, nothing else was found, except for the pile of garbage, not even any traces of human existence.
I thought it was a little strange that when we came in, the incense in the censer was still burning, and the people in the room would not be gone for long.
Immediately asked someone to go out to check around, only Lao Zhang stayed, looking inside the house, I always felt that something was wrong.
According to the informant, no one has ever been seen in or out of the house, and it is true that there is no trace of anyone living here in the house, as he said, but the pile of garbage in the corner of the wall is obviously not formed in a day or two, and it does not decompose to this extent in more than a month.
There's another possibility, maybe it's just a hiding place, somebody's place to hide from something, and they don't usually appear in it, and when it's time to use it, they come over in the middle of the night when no one is looking.
Thinking of this, I immediately put on my gloves, leaned over, crouched in front of the garbage heap and began to rummage.
Lao Zhang was a little surprised, he didn't know why I did this, but he still put on a glove mask and came over to squat down to help.
Gently peeling off the surface of the layer, the stench of decay became stronger. The smell made me a little dizzy, and I carefully peeled it off little by little.
If this is as I think, this place may have been around for a long time, and the more the garbage is turned down, the more it decays, and even begins to turn black, and it is completely unrecognizable because of the time, just a black mass of goo.
Just when I couldn't take the stench anymore, I finally noticed something.
Originally, what I reached out to touch was some soft rotten objects, but suddenly I felt something very hard, so I immediately picked it open and took out the hard object inside.
The light of the flashlight shone on its body, and what surprised me was that this hard object was actually a hammer!
