Chapter 19: Throwing Corpses into the Sewers

After DNA identification by the laboratory department, it was learned that the palms and fingers found in the two fried chicken restaurants were from Zhou Yi's body, and they were both right hands.

On the phone, Ren Qiushi expressed his doubts to me, and he found that judging from the cutting marks on the palm and fingers, the cutting tools used by the murderer were very sharp but very small. Preliminarily speculated, it was a small dagger-shaped cutting tool with a very thin blade. When the murderer was dividing and cutting the body, each knife perfectly avoided the bones, which shows that the murderer knows the human skeleton very well.

Normally, the murderer divides the corpse and tries his best to cut the corpse pieces very small, such as the case we solved in Beihuai Town, the murderer cut each corpse piece into the size of a mahjong tile, and tried his best to chop the bones. In particular, the phalange, which is a very fragile bone, can be shredded with a little force.

However, the tool used by the murderer in this case was a small dagger, and it was impossible to complete the dismemberment with a small dagger. But it is also possible that the murderer does not have a particularly suitable large-scale corpse dismemberment tool around him, but who doesn't have a kitchen knife, and it is better to use a kitchen knife than a dagger.

It can only be said that the murderer's behavior of avoiding the bones of the corpse is likely to be out of some kind of professional knee-jerk reaction, or the murderer has his own special purpose in dividing the corpse.

Now that seventeen hours have passed since Grandma Zhou Yi's first call to the police, and the seventy-two hour time limit is also passing minute by minute, we must speed up our actions.

After all, in terms of probability, Zhou Yi still has the possibility of survival, but we all know that this possibility is very small.

Lin Zifan went to investigate Zhou Yi's classmates in the city and the trajectory of Zhou Yi's classmates reunion, but there is no news yet.

There was a case of serious injuries in a fight at this Western restaurant due to the taste of this bottle of red wine produced by Baiyun Foods. From the current point of view, this brawl case has nothing to do with the Zhou Yi case we are investigating, whether it has anything to do with the previous corpse water red wine still have to be brought back to investigate.

After dealing with the matter of the Western restaurant, we had to continue to investigate the case of Zhou Yi's disappearance, and on the way back to the Public Security Bureau with physical evidence, I received a call from Officer Wang.

I slammed the brakes and parked the car on the side of the road, listening carefully to Officer Wang.

The car was very quiet, except for the faint sound of the phone.

The voice on the other side of the phone was very dull, and Li Meng sat in the co-pilot, holding the on-site investigation toolbox in his arms, looking at me in a daze.

Although she didn't hear the content of the phone call, she knew that the call must be related to Zhou Yi.

The talk was not long, only two minutes.

The time in the car seems like a century.

The phone hung up, and I sat in the car and looked at the scenery in front of me.

"What's wrong? Speak quickly. Li Meng was a little anxious, and she already felt a little uneasy in her heart.

I opened the window, pulled out a cigarette, and smoked silently.

Li Meng's eyes were staring at me, her body trembling a little, she desperately wanted to know the answer, but she knew that this answer was not what she wanted.

After taking a deep breath, I said slowly, "Zhou Yi...... Found ......"

"Alive...... Or dead...... ......," she asked, trembling.

I took a few more puffs, threw half of the cigarette out of the window, and said, "Officer Wang found Zhou Yi's head in the sewer, but he didn't find the ...... body."

After listening, Li Meng was shocked, she opened her mouth wide and didn't make any sound.

Restarted the car, continued to drive towards the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and whispered to her: "You bring a red wine bottle to the test, I will go to the scene of the crime to see, you don't go to ......"

Li Meng lowered her head and sobbed: "She's still a child...... It's still a kid......"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but reddened my eyes, quickly wiped my tears to keep my vision unobstructed, and continued to drive.

This is not the first time we have handled a case, and it is not the first time we have encountered an extremely egregious homicide case. But this time, we're solving a missing person's case.

However, now we have only found a corpse, not even a complete corpse, to be exact.

What kind of hatred does the murderer have, he would hurt a seventeen-year-old girl like this, and he didn't even leave a whole corpse for murder.

Officer Wang told me that the location was at a back street, and the end of the back street had been assumed to be barricaded, and a cordon was set up to allow no pedestrians and vehicles to enter.

In the middle of the street, a sewage suction truck from the sanitation department was parked, and a long pipe stretched into the well to suck sewage, and the pipe was suddenly blocked.

The human head had been salvaged, and it was outwardly the head of a woman, with a long ponytail tied with a bow.

A minute later, a police car pulled up at the end of the street, and forensic doctor Ren Qiushi and forensic assistant Zeng Lan walked into the scene with toolboxes.

"Old Qin, what's the situation?" Ren Qiushi walked up to me quickly and asked me with a somewhat flustered expression.

I didn't speak, my eyes fell on the head.

The face of the human head was covered with dirt and black mud, and the skin under the black mud was well preserved, and blood stains could be seen.

"Was there only one human head found in the well?" I asked Officer Wang.

"We only saw this human head, and it is unclear if there are other parts of the human body underneath, and we haven't gone down yet." Officer Wang said.

"Let's go down and have a look."

We put on protective suits, changed into water boots, and carried lighting equipment into the well.

"Killing people and dismembering corpses, throwing corpses into the sewers, what a fucking pervert." Officer Wang cursed and went down into the well with us.

The sewer is the conscience of a city, and all the dirty and ugly things in human society will appear in the sewer.

Visibility was low, the sewage was ankle-high, and it smelled foul.

"The sewer is so big, how do you find it?" Officer Wang held a flashlight in one hand and fumbled in the sewage with the other.

"The murderer's tool for dismembering the body is not large, it is a dagger, and it is basically impossible to use a dagger to cut bones. If the killer did throw his body down the drain, we would find intact skeletal tissue. Ren Qiushi bent down and threw aside the garbage in the sewer.

Zeng Lan and I were also groping around, looking for Zhou Yi's human torso.

This sewer is very large, but the scope of our search is not large, and there are protective nets at the pipe connections around the sewer wells, and human parts will not pass through the gaps in the protective nets in any case.

Zhou Yi disappeared for only three days, and the time of death will only be shorter, and the murderer chose to dump his body here, indicating that the place where he lives is nearby......
