Chapter 3: Watermelon Shack
Looking at the attitude of the Su family's children, I couldn't help but feel a little afraid.
If Su Dakui's disappearance or death is really related to the melon thief, then even if the case is solved, the children of the Su family will not stop there.
It is very likely that there will be a vicious rebellion, and they will definitely use their own means to take revenge on the melon thief at the cost of crime.
This situation is not alarmist, but there are countless cases to support it.
There are many people who maliciously spray pesticides or inject poison into their dishes to prevent their food from being stolen to punish the thief.
This approach may seem relieving, but it is a manifestation of a weak sense of law.
If you deliberately spray toxic pesticides to prevent or retaliate against the vegetable thief, you may have encountered the stolen vegetables before, so you deliberately spray toxic pesticides to retaliate against the vegetable thief. If this is the case, it is a crime of intentional injury and is subject to criminal liability.
If it is not intended to harm people, but it is sprayed with high toxicity and high residue pesticides that do not meet the regulations. At present, high-toxicity and high-residue pesticides have basically been banned on vegetables, if this kind of pesticide is sprayed, it must be responsible, even if it does not harm people, if it is found to use banned pesticides, it is also necessary to bear criminal responsibility.
Even if it is a state-legal pesticide that poisons the thief, there is a corresponding responsibility. After spraying pesticides, warning signs need to be set up nearby. What's more, legal pesticides are not very toxic, as long as they are carefully cleaned, they will not be ingested into the human body, and even if they are ingested, they will not be fatal.
So this case is very important.
In this watermelon field in front of us, a large number of watermelons have disappeared, and a large area of melon seedlings has even been uprooted. Because the melon thieves act at night and do not use lighting equipment, there are still a lot of unripe watermelons that are directly trampled, trampled in a mess, and the footprints are very messy.
Jiang Tingbai is an expert in trace inspection, and he immediately led a technical team to conduct trace inspection and extract footprints at the scene.
Jiang Tingbai squatted on the ground, carefully observed the footprints in front of him, briefly measured the length and depth with his hands, as well as the dryness and wetness of the soil, and said lightly: "The footprints are very fresh, the soil on the surface has not completely dried, and it is a little damp, these footprints are all left recently." ”
Jiang Tingbai looked at the time on his watch and said seriously: "It is very likely that this group of melon thieves came last night. ”
After listening to Jiang Tingbai's words, the children of the Su family instantly became emotional, and cursed loudly: "This group of melon thieves, I really ...... every day" (10,000 banned words are silenced here)
"What am I talking about?! I'll just say that my father's disappearance is directly related to this group of melon thieves. A melon thief with a thousand cuts! Come to a sticky end! ”
"Don't let me catch you, all the brains will be screwed off for you!"
"Then bury your head in the watermelon field and let him grow watermelons!"
They kept cursing, oblivious to the fact that we police were around.
Jiang Tingbai slowly stood up and beckoned the technical team to conduct a careful survey of the melon field to see if there were any suspicious traces of fighting or lodging, especially to see if there were any blood stains.
"Su Dakui's disappearance, nine times out of ten, is related to the melon thief, and it is very likely that he was killed in the fight with the melon thief." Jiang Tingbai took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
We immediately began the on-site investigation work and tried not to let go of any suspicions. This is a watermelon field, and the river has just been irrigated a few days ago, and the soil is relatively wet, so if there are traces, it must be very easy to find.
The children of the Su family watched us busy, the two of them stood aside, you and I kept talking, and the words were all cursing to the melon thief, and said a lot of witty words, I couldn't help but laugh when I heard it.
Instead of rushing directly to investigate the shack in the middle of the watermelon field, we searched the carpet from south to north towards the location of the shack.
There are footprints everywhere, and there are more than 100 of them if you extract them all.
The investigation of the case is rigorous, and Jiang Tingbai will not let go of every footprint of the team, and demand that all of them be extracted.
Jiang Tingbai deserved to be an expert in trace examination, he took a cursory glance of his eyes, and judged that there were a total of four people in the melon stealing gang last night, including three men and one woman.
The men's footsteps are very messy, which indicates that they are mainly responsible for picking melons, and the women's footprints are more regular and show a straight line. So this woman should be in charge of bagging the picked watermelons.
The children of the Su family have been cursing behind our buttocks, not scolding us, but they are really angry. And it can be seen that this kind of planned and premeditated melon-stealing gang must not be the first time they have encountered it.
"Do you have a rough estimate, how much watermelon loss will be this time?" I steadied myself and asked earnestly.
The children of the Su family looked at me, then at the melon field, and said in a deep voice: "This large melon field, with so many watermelons, is enough to fill a four-wheeled vehicle!" According to the current market price of Tulong watermelon, the loss will be at least 30,000 or 40,000 yuan! And that's just the lost watermelons, plus these trampled and broken seedlings, the loss will be at least 50,000 or 60,000 pieces. ”
"There's a verdict now." Lin Zifan looked at this piece of melon field that had been ruined and said lightly.
"Arrest him! Sentence him! After hearing this, the son of the Su family suddenly raised his hand and shouted loudly.
This posture is quite a bit of the demeanor of Daochang Zhang and Secretary Wu.
"Please rest assured, no matter whether this group of melon thieves has anything to do with Su Dakui's disappearance, we will definitely arrest and punish them according to law." Lin Zifan said seriously.
Surveying all the way along the watermelon field, we finally came to the key place of the case - the shack where Su Dakui stayed at night.
The shack is erected with wooden stakes, and the wooden stakes at the four corners of the whole shack are suspended in the air, about 30 centimeters above the ground.
Under the shack, there are also watermelons.
The whole shack has no door, it belongs to the shack that is transparent from north to south, and the inside of the shack is also very simple, a simple bed board, and a layer of bedding is spread on it. On the other side is a flashlight, a radio, and some daily necessities such as toilet paper, a kettle, bread and biscuits.
"It seems that Su Dakui has lived here for a long time." I stood at the door of the shack and scanned the inside of the shack.
"He's ready to fight the melon thief for a long time." Li Meng said.
