Volume II: Before Dawn Chapter 142: Dinner
If Yu Guang says that he is not impressed, it is false.
Kong Zhendong is a person from the province, although he does not know his specific position, but from the attitude of the Yellow Bureau towards him, it can be seen that this person's status must not be low, and the power in his hands must be not small.
If such a person can help him, it will naturally be much more useful than helping him investigate secretly like Xu Mingzhi now.
However, there is no such thing as a free benefit.
If someone like Kong Zhendong wants to make a deal with him, it will definitely not be simple.
What's more, although Kong Zhendong is a member of the police, it is difficult to say that he can be trusted. What if, the so-called transaction, is just a simple exploit?
Yu Guang withdrew his gaze and did not answer.
Kong Zhendong didn't care, and after smiling silently, he stopped talking.
Xu Mingzhi and the three came back quickly.
All three of them did not look very good, and it was clear that the conversation was not pleasant.
"Let's go, let's go see the corpse first." In front of Kong Zhendong, Xu Mingzhi didn't want to say anything.
The body was in the basement of another building.
As they passed, a forensic doctor was performing an autopsy, and instead of getting closer, he glanced at it from a distance before turning and retreating into the dimly lit corridor outside.
Kong Zhendong was probably a little surprised when he saw his reaction, and after looking at him strangely, he walked into the small dissection room.
The dissecting room is full of various utensils. Shen Qiche's body was placed on a rusty stainless steel bed, and his chest cavity had been opened.
When they entered, the medical examiner was examining the organs in his chest.
Hearing the movement, the forensic doctor looked up and saw four unfamiliar faces stunned, and without waiting for him to ask, Xu Mingzhi took the initiative to make an introduction. When the forensic doctor heard this, he looked behind them, but he didn't see their own people, and knew that the four men had come from him. He looked at Xu Mingzhi again, probably wanting to ask them if they had greeted the leader before coming here, but Xu Mingzhi didn't give him this opportunity.
"Is the time of death of the deceased confirmed?" As he spoke, Xu Mingzhi's gaze had already dropped and fell into Shen Qizhi's chest.
The organs inside were clearly showing signs of decay.
The forensic doctor was stunned for a moment and replied, "The time of death is at least two days or more." ”
Today is August 6th, which means that Shen Qiche was dead before August 4th.
"Where is the head injury?" Xu Mingyi said as he walked to the position of Shen Qi's head. The forensic doctor watched his movements, and put down the tool in his hand as if he was reluctant, and then reached out and twisted Shen Qiche's head slightly, revealing the hematoma located in the back of his head near the top of his head.
Shen Qiche's hair had been shaved, and the hematoma had turned blue-black, the size of a palm. Although the epidermis is not broken, there should be a lot of bleeding inside. With such a large amount of bleeding, even if he was sent to the hospital, it was unlikely that Shen Qiche would eventually be able to survive consciously.
In other words, the person who started should have wanted to kill Shen Qi.
"Are there any injuries anywhere else on your body?" Xu Mingzhi asked again.
The forensic doctor shook his head: "Except for a few pinholes, there are no bruises." As he spoke, he paused, and after sweeping his gaze to Xu Mingzhi's face, he said: "The deceased had taken drugs before his death, and he had been taking drugs for at least half a year. ”
Xu Mingzhi snorted, and there was no surprise on his face. When the forensic doctor saw it, he immediately understood, thinking about the situation of the deceased, they had already known it very well.
"Any other clues?" Xu Mingzhi asked again.
After thinking about it, the forensic doctor suddenly said: "He should have just eaten before he was injured and unconscious, and there was a lot of undigested food in his stomach, and there was one thing that was a little special. ”
"What's that?" Xu Mingzhi raised his eyes to look at him, and his eyes were obviously kinder than just now.
"Dog meat." The medical examiner replied.
Xu Mingzhi was stunned for a moment.
Although there are not many people who eat dog meat, it is probably not special to say that it is special.
But the forensic doctor said: "In Lian'an City, there is only one place where you can eat dog meat." ”
Kong Zhendong suddenly interjected: "It's also possible that he got a dog to kill and eat by himself?" ”
The forensic doctor glanced back at Kong Zhendong, and a little unconvinced flashed on his face: "The dog meat method in that place is a little special. Most of the people on our side are not used to eating peppercorns, so few people use this thing to cook. But the shop likes to use this stuff when it comes to dog meat. In Shen Qi's stomach, there was not only dog meat, but also crushed peppercorns. So, I bet he must have been there before he was killed. ”
"What's that store called, and where is it?" Xu Mingzhi asked.
"It is also in Yuhe Town, not very far from Chenjia Village, about 20 kilometers, in the mountains, called Yuhe Villa."
……
When Xu Mingzhi and the five came out of the county public security bureau, it was already completely dark outside.
Kong Zhendong yawned, raised his hand to look at the time, and said, "It's just time for dinner, I haven't eaten dog meat yet!" ”
After the words fell, he took the lead in opening the rear door and getting into the car.
Lao Wang asked Xiao Xiao to go back to the city first, and he got into Xu Mingzhi's car, and the four of them hurried to the Yuhe Villa mentioned by the forensic doctor.
When I arrived at Yuhe Villa, it was almost eight o'clock.
The villa was still very lively, and in the parking lot in front of the door, the cars were full, and Xu Mingzhi walked around several times before finally finding an opening and stuffing the car in.
After the four of them got out of the car and walked inside, the busy staff paid no attention to him at all. Lao Wang still grabbed a person, and after asking for a long time, he finally got a small table and sat down at a small table in the courtyard.
The waiter hurriedly came over and put down a pot of tea and left in a hurry, without even saying a word of nonsense.
This situation, even if Shen Qi came to him at that time, I'm afraid that the people here won't remember it. After all, this person comes and goes, who can remember a strange face that may be the first time they have seen it!
It's just that Shen Qi's courage is not small.
Since the identity of his murderer was confirmed, they had already contacted Lian'an City and asked them to issue a wanted warrant, this Shen Qiche dared to swagger to come to such a place to eat dog meat, which shows that he is not panicked at all.
Xu Mingzhi asked Lao Wang to order, and he called Yu Guang, planning to walk around this villa. Of course, he also wanted to avoid Kong Zhendong and find Yu Guang to chat in private.
Of course, Kong Zhendong also saw Xu Mingzhi's thoughts, and he didn't follow up very interestingly.
"What did Kong Zhendong ask you before?" As soon as he walked a little farther, Xu Mingzhi immediately asked.
Yu Guang replied: "It's nothing, just a few casual chats." His expression was cold, Xu Mingzhi stared at him for a while, but he didn't see anything, so he had to assume that he was telling the truth.
After the two came back from a circle, Lao Wang had already ordered the food.
The famous dog meat pot here is not ordered. The waiter in the ordering room said that this dog meat pot was ordered several days in advance, and it was not available every day.
This can make Xu Mingzhi's eyes, who had already done a good job in vain, can't help but light up.
"I've already had people go to their boss." As soon as he said this, someone walked towards them, a thin middle-aged man, probably in his fifties.
The boss walked over a little nervously, looked at the four of them cautiously, and asked, "Are you looking for me?" ”
Lao Wang flashed his identity and said, "I want to know something from you." I just heard from your staff that your dog meat pot here has to be booked in advance, right? ”
When the boss heard this, he hurriedly explained: "Officer, the source of our dog meat is from the meat dog farm, not the kind of stolen dog ......"
"I don't care where your dog came from!" Lao Wang interrupted his explanation, "I'll ask you, is the scheduled record still there?" ”
When the boss heard that the other party didn't seem to care about the source of his dog meat, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and then quickly nodded and said, "Yes!" In! As he spoke, he said, "Do you want to see it?" I'll get it now! ”
Lao Wang nodded.
Seeing this, the boss hurriedly trotted to get the booking record, and not long after, he came back with a small notebook.
Lao Wang handed the notebook to Xu Mingzhi, Xu Mingzhi flipped through it, the most recent record was yesterday, but according to the time of death obtained from the autopsy, Shen Qiche was already dead yesterday. Further on, there were bookings for the 4th and 3rd, and then there was the July record.
Although the forensic doctor of the Guangxi County Public Security Bureau did not give a specific time of death, he said that it would be at least two days, so no matter how much there was a deviation, it would not be possible to deviate until July. Therefore, coupled with the fact that the dog meat in Shen Qi's stomach was not digested much, it can be seen that he was killed not long after eating.
In other words, if Shen Qichel really came here to eat dog meat, then the most likely time is the 3rd.
Xu Mingzhi flipped back to the record of the day on the 3rd, looked up and asked the boss: "These are the only people who ate dog meat pot on August 3rd?" ”
The boss nodded: "Yes!" That's all. There are not many people who eat dog meat in our place, so I don't have any stock in the store, and some people will only go to the farm to get dog meat back to make it. ”
After Xu Mingzhi heard this, he took out his mobile phone and took pictures of the mobile phone numbers on the records on August 3 and 4, and then took out a photo of Shen Qiche and handed it to the boss: "This person, do you know each other?" ”
The boss took it and looked at it for a long time, shaking his head: "I don't know." ”
"Don't you feel familiar?"
The boss still shook his head.
Xu Mingzhi took back his mobile phone: "Generally, there are more regular customers who come to you to eat dog meat, or are there more raw customers?" ”
"Generally, they are regular customers, and raw customers don't know that they have to book in advance, and they can't eat when they come." The boss replied.
"Do you know all these people scheduled for August 3rd and 4th?" Xu Mingzhi raised his eyes and stared at him and asked.
The boss was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a dry smile: "You should be familiar when you meet, but if you want to say that you know ......" As he spoke, he shook his head slightly, which means that he naturally doesn't know him.
"Don't know any of them?" Xu Mingzhi asked him again.
The boss looked at the records of those two days carefully, and then shook his head with certainty: "If I knew them, I would remember my name later, not my phone number." ”
When Xu Mingzhi heard this, he flipped through the previous records again, and indeed some of them had their names recorded.
It seems that what the boss said is true.
After Xu Mingzhi returned the book to the boss, he thanked him again. The boss couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that they didn't mean to ask any more.
Soon after he left, he immediately smiled and brought a few plates of cold dishes up, saying that it was for them.
Lao Wang refused, but the boss was very gracious, under the public, the two sides pulled and looked ugly, and Lao Wang accepted it after getting Xu Mingzhi's consent. It didn't take long for the dishes they ordered to come up, apparently the boss told the kitchen to make them first, and the dishes were extra generous.
