Su Dakui, a big melon grower, suddenly disappeared.

We have experienced missing persons more than once.

It is precisely because we have experienced so many cases of missing people that we know that the vast majority of missing people have been killed.

With regard to missing persons, our consistent attitude is that we must see people alive and corpses when we die.

On the night of Su Dakui's disappearance, four melon thieves with a clear division of labor came to steal melons in an organized and premeditated manner.

Su Dakui lived in a shack every night to stop the melon thieves. The melon thief came last night, but no traces of a fight were found at the scene, and the melon thief also stole hundreds of catties of watermelon.

So we wonder if Su Dakui disappeared before the melon thief arrived, or if he disappeared on the way to the shack.

"Did you find anything on the way?" I asked suddenly.

After hearing this question, the children of the Su family recalled it carefully, they shook their heads one after another, and said lightly: "I didn't find anything on the road, and my father often walked that road." ”

"You just said that Su Dakui came back with a kettle after dinner at home, is that the kettle?" Li Meng took over and pointed to the dark blue kettle in the shack and asked.

"That's right! That's the kettle! The children of the Su family glanced at the kettle in the shack and said immediately.

"It seems that he arrived at the shack first, and then left the missing." Li Meng nodded and said lightly.

"He's already in the shack, where is he going?" I stood in the watermelon patch and looked around.

Jiang Tingbai led the technical team to survey all the way along the watermelon field, and now the focus of the survey is on the shack.

"Why is there a strange smell here?" Jiang Tingbai had just walked into the shack, suddenly frowned, and muttered.

"Strange smell? What does it taste like? Li Meng turned around and asked quickly.

"It can't be the smell of sweat, right?" I said it casually.

Jiang Tingbai was like a police dog, looking around and sniffing everywhere.

He sniffed for a while and said, "There seems to be a smell of perfume here?" ”

"Perfume smell?!" After hearing this, we were all stunned.

The smell of perfume, in criminal cases, represents women.

Could it be that Su Dakui's disappearance has something to do with women?!

The children of the Su family also heard this, and they hurriedly said, "How can there be a woman?!" ”

"Su Dakui has a good match?" I thought about it for a while, and went back to ask the children of the Su family.

"He?! How can it be. The son of the Su family looked at me and sneered at himself.

I was wondering what this sneer meant, and the daughter of the Su family on the side also sneered: "Since my mother died, I haven't seen him have any dealings with any woman." Besides, as far as my father is concerned, his mind is all about watermelon, and he doesn't even pay much attention to my mother, the original partner, and is even said to be a halfway couple. If there is a good match, it must be for my family's money and watermelon cultivation technology, and my father is not stupid. ”

"So, Su Dakui won't have a good match?" I said lightly and turned to look at Li Meng.

"What about cheating?" Li Meng suddenly said something that was a little out of place.

This sentence is very ordinary for us police, but now after all, the children of the Su family are still there, which is somewhat scolding.

"Cheating?" The daughter of the Su family laughed a few times, and she said with a smile: "It's an old man of sixty or seventy years old, and he is still cheating and playing exciting." ”

"I don't think my dad is that kind of person, besides, we never interfere in his private life, even if he wants to find a wife, we don't care, he likes to find it! And a few years ago, we also asked him, and he said that in today's society, the wives he is looking for are all running for money, and he resolutely refuses to look for them. The son of the Su family also chimed in.

"But I really smell perfume." Jiang Tingbai looked at us in a daze, his expression was very serious.

We all believe in Jiang Tingbai's sense of smell, otherwise he would not have lost the nickname "old dog".

"Could it be flower water?"

After a moment of silence, the daughter of the Su family suddenly spoke.

These words can be regarded as a wake-up call for all of us, and the son of the Su family on the side also hurriedly said: "There are many mosquitoes in summer, so we did buy him a bottle of flower water." ”

We did see a bottle of flower water in the shack, but Jiang Tingbai slowly shook his head and denied it: "This perfume smell is definitely not the smell of flower water, it is a very cheap and inferior perfume." ”

At this point, we froze.

In contrast, we prefer to believe Jiang Tingbai's nose.

If the smell of perfume is indeed found in the shack, then it is very likely that the perfume came from a woman.

Everyone has a love for beauty, and there are still many women in the countryside who use perfumes at affordable prices.

Could it really be that there is really a woman and Su Dakui stealing joy in the shack?

Who would fancy an old man in his sixties and almost seventy?

Could it be that this has something to do with the melon thief? Swapping hue for watermelon?

That's outrageous, isn't it?

Smell, for on-site investigation work, is the most difficult to obtain. Because the smell is so volatile, you can smell it one moment, and maybe you won't smell it the next.

The perfume smell is even more special, different from other scents, and residues can be found on the spot. Perfume is not sprayed directly in the shack, so there is no way to collect the residue.

"Old dog, do you have any other discoveries?" I made up my mind and asked him seriously.

Jiang Tingbai and the technical team have carefully inspected the shack with various special survey equipment.

"I collected Su Dakui's fingerprints on the chai knife, and I didn't find any other valuable clues." Jiang Tingbai said lightly, somewhat helpless in his tone.

At this moment, Xue Hang, who had not appeared all this time, suddenly returned.

It was only when we saw him that we realized that Xue Hang had disappeared since we arrived here.

"Team Qin, I surveyed the nearby terrain." After Xue Hang finished speaking, he opened a notepad he carried with him, on which he drew a simple topographic map with a few scribbled strokes.

Xue Hang handed me the notepad, and then explained it to me carefully: "This is a plain, three kilometers away from the nearest Tulong Township, and there is a river next to it, the water of the river comes from the Tulong Reservoir upstream, and the downstream flows into Ningzhou City. Tulong Reservoir is a water source protection area, and the drinking water in Tulong Township basically comes from Tulong Reservoir. Su Dakui's watermelon field irrigation water source also comes from this river. ”

Then Xue Hang pointed to the east side: "About two hundred meters, it is Hehe." ”
