Chapter 9: Confusing

Time flies, the cold winter wind sweeps through the streets, and the pedestrians on the street wear thick coats, as if winter is coming. Shen Mingyu walked on the road, he felt a trembling and put his hand in his pocket. It's snowing, Shen Mingyu rarely sees snow, and his hometown hasn't snowed for decades, so he has an innate yearning for snow. Months have passed since the case at the University of Finance, but he still thinks of the girls in dormitory 601 from time to time, who have been left in the past and can no longer move forward. Zhang Muru is the only remaining member of the 601 dormitory, after that time, she moved to the 603 dormitory and met a new roommate, Wen Qiao is currently preparing for the exam, and Shen Mingyu has not seen her for a long time in order not to disturb her. He seems to have returned to the normal state of loneliness before, in the city of A, he has no relatives and no friends, and the most he usually sees are his colleagues in the public security bureau. He didn't know it himself, as if after these events, he began to become more and more lonely. When he usually rests, he will walk around the street aimlessly, look at the new things and all kinds of people around him, and then go to eat what he wants to eat the most at that time, and then slowly walk all the way back to the dormitory. He also realized that he lacked communication and communication with others, but he didn't know how to change the status quo and how to find hobbies. Shen Mingyu passed by a Lanzhou ramen restaurant, and it was best to eat a steaming bowl of ramen in winter, and when he entered the store, he saw a familiar figure eating noodles. "Zhong Qiming." Shen Mingyu shouted. "Yo, isn't this Mingyu, it's too coincidental." "Aren't you abroad, why did you suddenly appear here, the world is really small." "I returned to China a few months ago to develop, and then I thought that City A was good, so I came here, but it's you, aren't you going back to your hometown." "I'm sorry, I'm too busy to catch up with you during this time, I'm now working as an analyst at the Public Security Bureau in City A." "Okay, boy, I've been exposed to this similar profession when I was abroad before, and it should be just starting out in China." "Yes, so we are constantly exploring, sometimes a case takes a long time, so why do successful people eat Lanzhou ramen." "Isn't that a love of food, I still remember the one at the school gate before, I eat every day, let's go have a few drinks after eating noodles, and catch up with the old days." Zhong Qiming, Shen Mingyu's college classmate, had excellent grades in school, won almost all the scholarships, went abroad for development after graduation, and recently returned to City A to work as an executive and legal consultant in a Fortune 500 company, is a typical elite and successful person. The two walked out of the ramen restaurant and went to a barbecue restaurant, where they chatted about their memories of their previous college days...... After three rounds of drinking, the two said goodbye to each other, agreed to meet again next time, and returned to their residences. Shen Mingyu thought, it's not bad to have someone who can communicate with each other in this foreign place,

After that, the communication between the two also became more, from time to time they would make an appointment to have a meal or a drink or something, or talk about work, discuss and discuss cases, etc., Zhong Qiming is very knowledgeable, and can often give different opinions, which helps Shen Mingyu a lot, and Shen Mingyu also feels that many times he can learn a lot from his old classmates. It was the weekend, and Shen Mingyu was lazily lying down and resting in the dormitory, when suddenly he received an anonymous text message that read: "There is something you want to see about 10 meters forward from the pavilion halfway up Longtan Mountain." Shen Mingyu wondered, what the hell is this, the dog is so far away from Longtan Mountain, so he continued to sleep. In the evening, Shen Mingyu felt hungry and planned to go out to eat, when Han Sicheng called, "Emergency!" Someone found a skeleton near Longtan Mountain, where are you? "Longtan Mountain...... Isn't this the text message I got in the morning, what the hell is going on...... Shen Mingyu didn't think much about it, so he hurried to join Han Sicheng. On the way, Han Sicheng said: "When some tourists climbed the mountain in the evening, they found a corpse full of dirt as soon as they reached the halfway point of the mountain. "Bones? Could it be a corpse from a long time ago?" "I don't know yet, let's talk about it when I go to the scene." Shen Mingyu showed Han Sicheng the text message he received, and Han Sicheng was also surprised, "How could this person know in advance, and he also sent it to you, it stands to reason that any case should be reported to the police first." "If he's not an eyewitness and an insider, he's a murderer." Shen Mingyu said.

Longtan Mountain, is one of the best mountains in City A, Longtan Mountain Scenic Area, 4A-level scenic spot, many people come here every day to climb the mountain, the terrain in the mountain is complex, there is a main road leading to the top of the mountain, and there are many trails. The two came to the scene and saw the body, no, it should be called the bones. The skeleton was highly decomposed and ossified, with no clues other than the partial decomposition of the clothes and pants it was wearing. "We can only hand it over to the forensic doctor to confirm their identity first, and then we will ask the person who found the body." Han Sicheng said. The two came to the pavilion, and the corpses were found by the five old men who were climbing the mountain, and Han Sicheng asked, "Uncles, can you tell me the details?" One of the uncles said, I will answer on behalf of everyone: "We come to climb the mountain every evening, and we don't like to take the main road, so we like to go to the path, when we climb to this pavilion, we plan to rest, but we see a lot of soil scattered in front of the pavilion, so we go to see, and then we see a pit dug up, and then look inside the pit, we see this white bone." "Okay, we understand the situation, did you go up the mountain yesterday to take this road, is there usually a lot of people on this road?" Han Sicheng asked. "We all take this road this week, usually once a week, this road is rarely walked, everyone likes to take the main road, usually only sporadic people walk this way." "Okay, thank you, uncle, we're done asking for the time being." "There don't seem to be any useful clues, there are very few people in this way, the murderer can dig up the bones at any time, this bone has been buried here for a long time, and no one will find it for a lifetime, but the murderer is now letting the bones see the light of day, I don't know what he thinks, is it related to the text message I received?" Shen Mingyu said. "It's not clear for the time being, and now we can only wait for news from the forensic doctor, and we can only carry out our work when the identity of the body is confirmed."

Han Sicheng returned to the bureau and waited for the forensic doctor's examination with Shen Mingyu. "It will take a long time for the ossified corpse to be examined, so what are we going to do now?" Shen Mingyu asked Han Sicheng. Han Sicheng replied: "Let's first look for the missing person records in City A in recent years, and see if there are any people who came to the police station to report the case before, it should have been several years since the high degree of corruption and white ossification, I will assign the task immediately, and you will also contribute." "For days, everyone waited for the results of the forensic examination, and at the same time struggled to find the missing person. Shen Mingyu looked at the list in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh: There have been so many missing people in the past few years, and I don't know how many I found in the end. At this moment, the anonymous number sent another text message, which said: Your progress is too slow, but it is not interesting to tell you the answer too quickly, you must be analyzing the bones now, looking for the list of missing people, to give you a small hint, you can narrow down the search to Longyuan District in the past 3 years, I believe you will find a match soon. Shen Mingyu was taken aback by the sudden text message, how could this person who sent the text message be so clear, could he really be a murderer or a key witness? Shen Mingyu showed this text message to Han Sicheng, and Han Sicheng decided to believe this person once, "Last time, he told us that we had corpses half a day in advance, and this time he reminded us again, I think whether it is the murderer's provocation or the clues provided by important witnesses, we have to give it a try." So Han Sicheng asked everyone to focus on finding the missing people in Longyuan District in the past three years, and called to inquire about their relatives or family members. Finally, the forensic doctor came to the news, the test results came out, the bones of the corpse have been confirmed to be male after pelvic comparison, the age was confirmed to be between 34 and 38 years old through the pubic symphysis comparison, part of the DNA was extracted from the bones, and the fracture line was checked in the skull, and it was determined that it was a premortem fracture, and the preliminary judgment was that the cause of death was a blow to the head, because the body was highly decomposed and buried in the mountain, and the time of death was not determined. With the results of the forensic analysis, after a long period of screening, only 5 people were finally excluded. They are, Shi Qingran, 35 years old, disappeared two years ago, Cui Hao, 35 years old, disappeared three years ago, Wang Zhihong, 38 years old, disappeared a year ago, Lai Hu, 36 years old, disappeared a year ago, An Qi, 34 years old, disappeared two years ago. Shen Mingyu saw Cui Hao's information at a glance, "This, isn't this my former college class teacher!" When the others heard Shen Mingyu's words, they were also surprised. Han Sicheng said: "We have to contact the relatives of the five of them and come to the bureau to do DNA comparison. Fortunately, the families of several people were still choosing them, and when they heard that the bones had been found, they rushed to the public security bureau without stopping. After a period of comparison, it was finally confirmed that the identity of the deceased was Cui Hao. When Cui Hao's father heard that the bones were his son, he fell to the ground in sadness, and the police quickly helped him to the sofa to rest, and after a while, Cui's father recovered his mood, and Han Sicheng asked him: "Uncle, how long have you not seen Cui Hao?" When was the last time he contacted you? "Well, yes, I haven't seen him for three years, the last time was when he quit his job from college and stayed at home for a while, and the last time I saw him was one morning when he said he had found a new job and was going out for an interview, and then I never saw him again, but I can't remember the exact time, it was summer." "Okay uncle, thank you for your cooperation, I'll let them send you home to rest first, we will give you an explanation as soon as possible, don't worry." After Han Sicheng finished speaking, he asked the police to send Cui's father home.

Cui Hao, a native of City A, previously worked as a counselor at a university of political science and law in P City, that is, the school where Shen Mingyu studied, was obscene, had a bad stroke rating among students, and committed suicide because he had molested a female student and caused the female student to be depressed, but because there was no relevant evidence, the school did not make a decision, but he couldn't stand the students who came to the office every day to scold him, and he couldn't stand the pressure of public opinion and resigned. After quitting his job, he returned to City A, and he has never come back since one day he claimed to have gone out to work. Shen Mingyu introduced the situation of the deceased to everyone, "Cui Hao used to be my homeroom teacher, because this person has an indecent life and a very bad reputation, almost everyone has an opinion about him, our dormitory used to scold him every day, and it was rumored that he molested a female student before, causing the female student to commit suicide, and finally he resigned under pressure." "He's really a scumbag, let's start with his interpersonal relationships first, and quickly investigate the situation around him." Han Sicheng added. They asked their former colleagues from the University of Political Science and Law, and the colleagues unanimously reported that they were very frivolous, always liked to tease female colleagues, and always looked disdainful. Han Sicheng found a friend who had a good time with Cui Hao and asked him about the situation, this friend said: "Actually, I don't play well with him, but he has a little money, and sometimes he always treats him, so he gets closer to him, I know that this person has a bad character, and then he slowly stopped contacting, and then his father called me to tell me that he was missing, and I didn't know until his father called me to tell me that he was missing." Han Sicheng and Shen Mingyu leaned back in their chairs, and the two did not get any effective clues. Cui Hao's case has too few clues, his reputation is too bad, he has no popularity, and after another three years, many things can no longer be found. Han Sicheng said. I asked Zhong Qiming to see if he had a clue. "Shen Mingyu mentioned Zhong Qiming to Han Sicheng before, and Han Sicheng also felt that Zhong Qiming was a very sharp person, and he might have different views and opinions." Hey, Qiming, do you remember our former homeroom teacher Cui Hao? "Oh, that BYD, remember, what did he do again?" "It's been three years since he was killed, and now we don't have a clue about it, and we don't find anything from his relationships." "Hahaha, he died well, I remember that he didn't molest a girl, could it be because of this reason." "yes, why didn't I think of it, thank you, I'll invite you to dinner another day." Shen Mingyu reported this clue to Han Sicheng and asked Han Sicheng to check the girl's information. After a while, Han Sicheng came over with the materials, "This girl's name is Liu Min, she was a student at the University of Political Science and Law before, and she was in the same class as you, because she went to the office to get documents once, only Cui Hao was in the office at the time, Cui Hao asked her to help on the grounds of sorting things, but she molested her when she was tidying up, she resisted desperately and finally escaped from the office, and then wrote a report letter to report Cui Hao, but she didn't get a response, and there are many people who accuse her of acting and impure motives, Then after some time she hanged herself. Her background is very simple, there is only one mother and younger brother in the family, and her mother came to the school to discuss the law, and after a while, it seems to be private. I'm now asking my colleague to ask her former classmates and roommates. Shen Mingyu thought, if someone wanted to avenge Liu Min at that time, it would make sense, but Cui Hao was not killed immediately, but returned to City A for a period of time, so did the murderer come to City A on a special trip, and how did he find Cui Hao?

After a while, Han Sicheng came with the information collected, "We contacted Liu Min's roommate and the classmates who had a good relationship with him before, everyone has a high opinion of Liu Min, excellent in learning, helpful, and can get along with anyone, the classmates like her very much, they still don't believe that Liu Min will deliberately write a letter to report, they all believe that Liu Min was molested and killed by Cui Hao, and after Liu Min's death, the classmates in the class also jointly wrote a letter to report Cui Hao, which led to Cui Hao's resignation." "It seems that this matter is true nine times out of ten, but everyone likes Liu Min very much, and the search range is very large, so is there any situation on her family's side?" Shen Mingyu said. "I've also checked this, it is said that her mother favors her younger brother and often beats and scolds Liu Min, and to be honest, it is a coincidence that not long after Liu Min committed suicide, her mother and younger brother died in a car accident. So there must be no clues on the family's side. "I'm confused...... Is it going to be an unsolved case......" Shen Mingyu muttered. At this moment, Shen Mingyu's mobile phone rang, and the anonymous text message came again: No. 58 Qiantan Road, here is what you want. Shen Mingyu showed the information to Han Sicheng, Han Sicheng hesitated for a moment, and decided to immediately go to the place on the address to check. "It is better to believe what you have than not to believe what you don't. Let's go over and see. ”

No. 58 Qiantan Road, in the suburbs, is a factory, Han Sicheng and Shen Mingyu entered the factory, only to see a dark place, the police turned on the light, and the family members were really frightened by the scene in front of them. I saw that there was a very large blower blowing strong wind on the right side of the factory, and only half of the human body was left in the large ice crusher on the left, and there were large blood stains next to it. Some of the police officers had never seen such a scene and retched directly, when everyone found a video camera on the table next to them, which recorded the horrific scene of the person being tied up and thrown to the blower, then blown to the ice crusher, and finally swallowed by the ice crusher. Next to the camera, the corpse of a venomous-tailed scorpion was left behind, and four big words: "It is as fast as the wind." ”
