Volume II: Before Dawn Chapter 049: Division of Labor

Actually, Xu Mingzhi was a little worried.

Although Yu Guang is difficult to let go of some things, he can't talk about prejudices against him. At the same time, he also knew very well that Xu Mingzhi would not be so naΓ―ve and would use this method to deliberately retaliate. It's just that when this kind of thing happens suddenly, the depression in my heart is ironclad. He was lying at home, wondering if it was time to buy a lottery ticket and maybe win the jackpot! After all, who could have such luck as him!

As for not answering Xu Mingzhi's call, it was purely tiring to talk, and even more tiring to listen to explanations.

In the forensic office, Director Yuan was sitting in front of the computer to enter information, when he heard Xu Mingzhi coming in, he turned his head to look at him, and saw him with a sad face, and couldn't help but be curious: "What's wrong?" ”

Xu Mingzhi smiled bitterly and said, "Not much." Then, changing the subject, he asked: "Earlier, you said that the victim had a broken leg about half a year ago, and the steel plate has not been removed, so is it possible to find out her identity through this?" ”

Director Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "It's a bit difficult, after all, we don't know which hospital she did the operation in, so we can only check through the manufacturer." I've seen it before, and the steel plate seems to be still imported, which is even more difficult to check. ”

"It's difficult, it's a way after all, you remember to send me the information about the steel plate later." Xu Mingzhi said.

Director Yuan said, "I'll send you now." As he spoke, the printer rang next to him. After a while, a few pages of materials were printed, and Director Yuan picked them up and handed them to Xu Mingzhi: "That's all that can be determined at present, you can take a look at it first, and the remaining items will not be out until tomorrow, and I will send them to you at that time." ”

Xu Mingzhi took the information, and after a cursory flip through it, he frowned.

Director Yuan watched from the sidelines and sighed helplessly: "The body was not only frozen, but also carefully cleaned before freezing, it can be said that this murderer is very cautious and may have a certain sense of anti-reconnaissance." Mingzhi, I didn't mean to say something discouraged, but this case, I'm afraid it's difficult. ”

Xu Mingzhi didn't answer.

He knew that what Director Yuan said was true, but no matter how difficult this case was, it had to be investigated. This girl is only twenty-five or sixteen years old, and someone has to give her an explanation for her life in such a tragic way!

After returning to the criminal investigation building, Xu Mingzhi called Wang Dayun and several of them to the conference room for a meeting.

While waiting, Xu Mingzhi wrote down the clues of the case that he had so far on the whiteboard.

In the case of burial of corpses at the grave, the victim was female, about twenty-five or sixteen, and had no children. My left leg was fractured once about six months ago, and I had surgery and was fixed with an imported steel plate.

There were multiple bruises on the body, fatal wounds to the head, and heavy blows from sharp objects. After death, the body is carefully washed and then dismembered, presumably with a sharp tool such as a bone chopping knife, but the killer may have been inexperienced and unsuccessful, after which the body is stuffed into a sack and frozen.

It is difficult to judge how long the body has been frozen, it may be three or five days, or it may be ten days, but it should not exceed a month.

While he was writing, He Yu and several of them came in one after another.

Xu Mingzhi stopped writing, turned around and said to them: "I brought the report from Director Yuan's side, on the table, you can take a look at it first." With that, he continued to write on the board.

He Yu and the others picked up the report and read it.

A few people didn't look at it for long, and He Yu suddenly said: "The corpse has been cleaned?" This murderer doesn't look like a novice! ”

Xu Mingzhi didn't answer.

Soon, all the clues that have been mastered so far have been written, Xu Mingzhi looked at the few clues on the whiteboard, and his brows were tightly locked.

At this time, He Yu and several of them also finished reading the report.

He Yu said: "The surveillance of the first few days of the crime has been checked, except for ......" As he spoke, he suddenly paused, glanced at Xu Mingzhi's face, and then continued: "Except for that person, the others either did not have the time to commit the crime, or they had witnesses." I suspect that the killer may not have taken that path at all, or even that he was someone from the neighborhood. ”

Xu Mingzhi turned his head to look at them: "What about you?" What's the view? ”

The others had not been to the scene, but they had seen the information about the case before. Wang Dayun and Shen Mei glanced at each other and didn't speak first, and after a few seconds of silence in the conference room, Lao Wang took the lead in breaking the silence: "I think what He Yu said is possible." The comparison of the shoe prints collected at the scene, except for the villagers and police who appeared at the scene that day, there were no more, which indicates that either the murderer did not leave shoe prints at all, or the murderer was among those people at the time. If the killer is among them, it can explain why the surveillance did not capture it. ”

After hearing this, Xu Mingzhi was thoughtful.

After a while, he asked Shen Mei, "Have you checked the missing person over there?" Is there a conformity? ”

Shen Mei shook her head: "I have checked all the missing persons reported in the past three months, and there is no match." It is likely that the victim is single and lives alone and has little contact with his family. ”

After hearing this, Xu Mingzhi nodded slightly, and then looked at He Yu: "Since you suspect that the murderer is likely to be someone nearby, then the investigation of the villagers who appeared at the scene that day will be up to you." ”

"No problem." He Yu responded in one bite.

As a result, Xu Mingyi turned his head and said to Lao Wang: "Lao Wang, you can help." ”

Lao Wang laughed and said, "Okay." ”

He Yu blinked, a little unconvinced.

Xu Mingzhi explained: "Most of the villagers are united, and sometimes it is not easy to communicate, and Lao Wang has a little more experience in this regard. As he spoke, he looked at Shen Mei again: "You will contact the Qingshan Town Police Station later, and ask them to take the photo of the deceased to visit the village below to see if anyone knows the deceased, especially the nearby homestays, factories, etc., to focus on visiting." ”

Shen Mei nodded in response.

"In addition, when you go to investigate, Lao Wang, you should also pay attention to see who has a freezer that can fit an adult's corpse in the house." Xu Mingzhi said to Lao Wang again.

Lao Wang nodded.

"Dayun, you focus on this." Xu Mingzhi looked at Wang Dayun, who had never spoken, and pointed to the word steel plate written on the whiteboard as he spoke. "There is a steel plate in the deceased's body, which is imported, and the information given by Director Yuan records the information of this steel plate, you will contact the manufacturer later to see if you can find out the identity of the deceased from here."

When Wang Dayun heard this, he frowned slightly, and said hesitantly: "This, it's not easy to check!" ”

Xu Mingzhi glanced at him and said, "If it's easy to check, I'll let you go to check it!" ”

Wang Dayun was stunned.

"Everyone hurry up and try to find out the identity of the deceased within 24 hours. A little girl at such a young age, she can't die without even a name, right? Xu Mingzhi stared at Wang Dayun and said.

"I see, I'll hold on." Wang Dayun avoided his gaze and nodded in response.

After all the orders were given, Xu Mingzhi was about to end the meeting, when suddenly Wang Dayun wanted to speak and stopped: "Boss, this ......"

"What?" Xu Mingzhi frowned at him.

Wang Dayun scratched his head and asked boldly: "This afterglow, is there really no suspicion?" When he said this, Shen Mei, who was sitting next to him, kicked him violently under the table, and the force of this kick was not small, and Wang Dayun was caught off guard and the whole person was crooked.

Xu Mingzhi looked at him with a calm expression: "Do you think he is suspicious?" ”

After Wang Dayun was kicked by Shen Mei, the courage just now was gone, but the words had already been spoken, and he couldn't take them back, so he could only continue to say stubbornly: "The time when this afterglow appeared was too coincidental, and besides, there was really no certificate for the few hours he spent in the cemetery, and after leaving the cemetery, there was at least an hour that could not be explained." In terms of time, he had enough time to commit the crime. Although he was not seen carrying a body in the surveillance, this does not mean that he is not suspicious. He could have avoided surveillance in advance and hauled the body nearby to hide. The most important thing is that his mobile phone happened to be dropped near the scene of the crime, which is too much of a coincidence. ”

After watching him finish speaking, Xu Mingzhi didn't speak immediately. His silence made Wang Dayun even more nervous, lowered his head, and began to secretly curse himself in his heart for what he was doing with this mouth.

"In that case, Xiaomei will take over the matter of the steel plate, how about you go to check on Yuguang?" Xu Mingzhi suddenly spoke.

Wang Dayun was stunned.

"Give you two days, is that enough?" Xu Mingzhi stared at him and asked. Although his face was calm at this time, Wang Dayun had been working with him for four or five years, how could he not know that he was already angry at the moment. He had a bitter face and hurriedly said: "Boss, I just had a messy brain just now, since the Qingshan Town Police Station has already checked Yuguang, I won't investigate!" ”

"They check and they check, and since you have doubts, you naturally have to find out. Just two days, two days later, I'm going to see your report on my desk, OK? Xu Mingzhi stared at him with a serious expression.

Wang Dayun's forehead sweat came out, and the words had come to this point, and he couldn't tolerate his refusal, so he could only respond bitterly.

"Do you still have questions?" Xu Mingzhi looked at the other people again.

Shen Mei and the others shook their heads one after another.

"Okay, let's break up the meeting." After Xu Mingzhi finished speaking, he picked up the document and left.

After watching him go out, Shen Mei immediately said to Wang Dayun, "What's the matter with you?" ”

Lao Wang patted him on the shoulder with a sympathetic look and said, "You, you!" Don't talk when you should speak, why talk so much when you shouldn't! If there is really something wrong with that afterglow, will the boss still cover him? You're not suspicious of the afterglow, you're suspicious of the boss, you know? ”

"You know what!" He Yu also walked over and reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "You're done!" ”

Wang Dayun looked bitter, and he couldn't wait to give himself two slaps at the moment.

"Brother Wang, what should I do?" He asked Lao Wang for advice with a bitter face.

Lao Wang spread his hands and said, "If the boss asks you to check, you will check!" Don't worry, the boss won't give you small shoes, at most he will let you sit on a cold bench for a few days. ”

Isn't the most fearful thing for those who do their job cold benches? Wang Dayun is about to cry!
