Chapter 62: Finding the Clue
Wu Zhenri took a day's train ride and returned to Kapok Town on the fourth day after Xu Qi's disappearance. On the way, the police at the police station called him to ask him if he had left, and told him to go back to Kapok Town and go directly to the police station.
He didn't go directly, but after getting off the bus in the city, he went directly to the braised vegetable shop he and Bao Furong rented. He called Bao Furong's mobile phone many times, but it was turned off.
When he arrived at the braised vegetable shop and saw that the door was closed, he felt more and more strange, and even thought that Xu Qi's disappearance was directly related to her, and he expected that as long as he found Bao Furong, he would ask about Xu Qi's whereabouts.
Unexpectedly, Bao Furong was not in the braised vegetable shop, he used the key to open the door lock and open the door, and there was a strong smell of blood inside.
Wu Zhenri thought to himself: Bao Furong bought fresh pig heads or something, making marinated goods, this taste is inevitable.
He looked all the way to the room in the store, and found nothing unusual, so he came out and locked the door of the store, then took a car to Kapok Town, walked straight to the door of the police station, took out his mobile phone, and reversed the mobile phone number of a policeman who had called him several times, saying that he had come.
A policeman with a mobile phone attached to his ear walked out of the police station, looked at Wu Zhenri and said, is it you?
Seeing Wu Zhenri nodding, the police made a move and led him into the police room for detailed interrogation, only to learn that Xu Qi's disappearance may be related to Bao Furong, who sells braised vegetables in the city.
Just when the police decided to ask Wu Zhenri to take them to the braised vegetable store in the city to inspect it, the fax machine in the interrogation room ticked.
After ringing, he spit out a fax piece of information, and a young policeman who made a record picked it up and glanced at it, smacked his tongue, handed it to a tall man with a majestic expression sitting at the table and said, Director Liu, take a look.
Director Liu read the fax carefully, raised his head and said to Wu Zhenri, Bao Furong sells braised meat, right? The fax says that something strange is happening in Rainforest. Some people reported that someone bought a few catties of braised meat from a woman who sold braised meat, and when a child was stuttering, he suddenly said, how is a tangled thing on this piece of meat not like a pig's body, like a person's navel eye, the family caused alarm, and found that the marinated mouth and ears were like human organs, and they were not from a pig at all......
Wu Zhenri's eyes widened in surprise and listened to Director Liu's speech. Director Liu stared at Wu Zhenri and said, "Does the case of Xu Qi, the teacher in the town, that is, the disappearance of your wife, have anything to do with this?" Hardly. He frowned and continued, Wu Zhenri, let me ask you, where is the hometown of the little three-pack Furong you raised that sells braised meat?
It's in Group 13 of Crescent Village, Rainforest Town.
Have you been to her hometown?
I just came back, where did I find it? I was about to look for it.
When Director Liu heard this, he raised his voice and said to several policemen sitting there that the public security department at a higher level instructed that the public security police stations in various localities must assist in the investigation of the "human meat pickled vegetable case", investigate the pickled vegetable shops and stalls in their jurisdictions, and report as soon as there is information. We, the Kapok Police Station, must actively cooperate with the investigation and not slack off. According to Wu Zhenri's confession, we have to link the disappearance of Xu Qi, a teacher in the town, with the "human meat and braised vegetables case" for investigation, maybe there is some kind of connection.
At this moment, Director Liu decided to let Wu Zhenri lead the way, and he and two policemen, Xiao Wu and Xiao Bi, went to the 13th group of Crescent Village, Yulin Town to investigate Bao Furong's situation.
They drove in a police car, and they wanted to talk to Bao Furong in person, but she was not at home.
Director Liu inquired from her parents that Bao Furong was taken to the town by Aunt Liu, the matchmaker in the village, to go on a blind date with a young butcher named Wu Haoshuang.
When Wu Zhenri heard this, he felt a fire in his heart, and secretly scolded: Fuck, Lao Tzu raised you as a junior, and you still avoided me and returned to your hometown for a blind date. Good! Yes, since I know this situation, if we meet today, I will have a showdown with you, and you don't want that braised vegetable shop to run it, let's cut it in two and part ways!
The police car drove to the town, and as soon as he inquired, he found Wu Haoshuang, who was selling meat in front of the meat stall in the vegetable market.
Director Liu said to the policeman Xiao Wu, you and Wu Haoshuang are at home, so you should talk to him.
Xiao Wu glanced at the pig's head on the stall, pointed to it and chatted with Wu Haoshuang, Wu Haoshuang, is that pig's head good to sell?
Wu Haoshuang was surprised, there were three policemen standing in front of him, he had never seen them, and one of them could still call out his name, shouldn't something happen?
He repeatedly thought that he had not broken the law, and he didn't need to be afraid of anyone, so he said bluntly, it was easy to sell a few days ago, but it has not been easy to sell in the last few days. The reason is that we have a strange thing here, some people say, found a woman selling braised meat, braised meat found human tongue, ears and navel eyes and other organs, I did not see it with my own eyes, I don't know if it is true, or rumors, this is bad, it affects our business, usually pig head, pig tail and other things are more sellable, now a few days, people who make braised meat dare not ask, because the marinated pork is suspected by people, which is mixed with human flesh, so it has an impact on us to sell this kind of thing.
Wu Haoshuang said, and pointed to the oily pig head on the meat stall that no one cared about.
I'd like to ask you about a guy named Bao Furong. Xiao Wu suddenly changed the conversation, stared at Wu Haoshuang and asked, do you know her?
It's hard to say. Wu Haoshuang whispered with a wry smile.
You don't need to say it yet. Director Liu looked at him while introducing himself, and at the same time made a request to him, we are the police of the Mumian Police Station in the neighboring county, and there is one thing I hope you will cooperate. Can we stop and ask you something?
Wu Haoshuang said to the butcher next to him, I beg you to show me for a while. Then he immediately walked out of the meat stall and walked out of the vegetable market with three policemen. Wu Zhenri also followed.
Approaching the police car, the policeman Xiao Bi who was driving the car pressed the remote control, and the car door opened by itself. Director Liu asked Wu Haoshuang, who came with him, to avoid it, and they got into the police car one after another, closed the doors and windows, and spoke inside, of course they couldn't hear it outside.
Director Liu said to Wu Haoshuang, it is said that there is a matchmaker who helped you say goodbye and introduced you to the village flower Bao Furong in Crescent Village, Rainforest Town, is there such a thing?
Yes Wow! I didn't say yes, I'm still thinking about it.
Since it's a village flower, it's pretty and beautiful, why don't you agree?
You don't know, that Bao Furong is beautiful and beautiful, very sassy, the matchmaker told me that he was pregnant with a man's child, and the man didn't marry her, married another woman, and now she is raised as a junior, she quit, so the matchmaker came to tell me again, when she was not pregnant with a child, I knew her and showed her love, but she still refused! Now I didn't completely refuse, I only made a request to the matchmaker, asking her to beat the child in her belly and recover physically.
Xiao Wu took out the record book and recorded what Director Liu asked and Wu Haoshuang answered, and after asking Wu Haoshuang to sign, he asked him to get out of the car and go back to the meat stall that sold meat in the vegetable market.
They used three days to find more than 100 hospitals, and finally found Bao Furong, who had only been on the drip, in bed No. 04, ward 06, obstetrics and gynecology ward, inpatient department of a local private hospital.
Of course, the police didn't know her, and Bao Furong used a pseudonym to have a fetus in this hospital. Wu Zhenri is here, and he recognizes it at a glance, no! saw Bao Furong at a glance, and asked her in front of the police standing in front of her, do you know Xu Qi's whereabouts?
Bao Furong shook her head gently. Wu Zhenri asked again, why did you get a baby, and you didn't tell me? Bao Furong said, there is no need to say that we are in this relationship.
Director Liu observed that her expression was a little flustered, thinking of the situation between her and Xu Qi that Wu Zhenri had confessed, and thought that Xu Qi's disappearance was likely to be related to her.
At this moment, Director Liu patted Wu Zhenri on the shoulder, asked him to walk out of the ward with him, came to the corridor, and whispered to him, Your task now is to cooperate with us, stay in this hospital in the name of taking care of Bao Furong, monitor her, and report to us as soon as there is a situation. Before she recovers and is discharged from the hospital, do her job and let her provide favorable clues about Xu Qi's disappearance.
But Wu Zhenri accompanied Bao Furong in the hospital for a few days, and from her mouth, he couldn't ask any questions.
During this period, Director Liu and several policemen found blackened blood stains on a hair-sweeping knife in the pickled vegetable shop opened by Wu Zhenri and Bao Furong. After technical testing by the criminal investigation department of the public security, it was confirmed that it was not animal blood but human blood. It is inferred that Xu Qi has been killed, and this hair-sweeping knife may be the murder weapon she was killed.
So as soon as Bao Furong completed the recovery and discharge procedures, she was invited by Director Liu to the Kapok Police Station for interrogation as a suspect.
