Volume II: Before Dawn Chapter 145: Assumptions

Xu Mingzhi didn't ask any more, and after giving Yu Guang a look, the two came out of the interrogation room.

In the corridor, the ceiling lamp has become a little dim because of the time.

Xu Mingyi handed Yu Guang a cigarette and said, "Feng Qin is a little weird. ”

Yu Guang snorted, and he could see it.

But this weirdness is not enough to determine that the murderer is him, only to be sure that he must be hiding something!

However, neither Xu Mingzhi nor Yu Guang had any intention of continuing to interrogate Feng Qin, so he was left in the interrogation room for most of the night, until seven o'clock in the morning, when Xu Mingzhi was about to meet him again, news suddenly came from Xinxiang Township, saying that another corpse had been found.

The body was found in a waterhole at the foot of a tea mountain.

The waterhole is not big, but it is quite deep. The corpse was originally sunk under the water, but the temperature has been too high recently, and it has not rained, and the tea trees on the tea mountain are seriously short of water, and they have begun to show signs of dying, so today the sky is not completely bright, and Zhang Guifang, the owner of the nearby tea mountain, came to the waterhole, turned on the pump and began to pump water to the mountain.

By the end of two hours, the mountain had almost been watered, and most of the water in the waterhole had gone, and the slightly higher edge of the bottom of the waterhole had been exposed.

When Zhang Guifang came to turn off the pump, she saw a woven bag at the bottom of the pool that was exposed to the water. The woven bag is a very large fertilizer bag, which seems to contain a lot of stuff inside, and a stone is tied with an iron chain on the outside.

When Zhang Guifang saw it, he felt that something was wrong, and he felt a sudden shock in his heart, so he didn't dare to go down to see what was going on, so he directly called the people from the village.

When the others came, they went down and opened the woven bag to take a look, and several people turned pale with fright, and almost didn't come up from this pool.

After calling the police in a hurry, the news spread, and a group of people kept guessing around the waterhole, but no one could guess that he was ugly.

The people from the Xinxiang Police Station arrived at about 7:10, and when they arrived, they immediately surrounded the scene, and except for Zhang Guifang and the people from the village department, the others were dispersed.

In view of the Zhu Mingyu case that happened not long ago, this time after the people from the Xinxiang Police Station received the report, they immediately notified the city bureau, and after arriving at the scene, they did not dare to go down and get the body up from the pool, for fear of destroying any clues.

Before a quarter past eight, Xu Mingzhi arrived with someone.

When he got out of the car and saw that the body was still at the bottom of the pool, Xu Mingzhi couldn't help but feel a little helpless. The policeman next to him probably also saw his helplessness, and explained: "We were afraid of destroying the clues, so we didn't dare to move." ”

Xu Mingzhi knew their worries and didn't say anything. The four of them first took off the iron chain tied to the outside of the woven bag and the stone weighing fifty or sixty pounds, and then worked together to get the woven bag containing the corpse.

After the corpse was brought up, Lao Yuan and his people began to take over.

The woven bag on the outside was cut open with scissors, and when carefully peeled off, the body inside was revealed. The corpse was a young male, about thirty years old. He has a thin body and is about 1.75 meters tall. He wore a white T-shirt with a leopard's head with sunglasses on his chest. Due to the oozing of corpse fluid, most of the white T-shirt was dyed yellow. A pair of skinny jeans on the lower body, which has a lot of scratches on it.

Probably because the water temperature at the bottom of this pool is relatively low, the smell of corpses emitted by the corpses is not obvious.

Taking advantage of Lao Yuan's autopsy, Xu Mingzhi and Yu Guang began to search around the pool.

The waterhole is located at the bottom of a valley, surrounded by mountains on three sides, most of which are already planted with tea, and a small part of which is bamboo forest, which has basically been deserted. It's summer again, and if it weren't for the recent prolonged drought, there would have been few people here.

There is only one way in, it is a dirt road with a width of a zhang, but it is possible to drive, but the road is full of ravines, it is definitely not easy to drive, and even the tricycle is like sitting on a seesaw.

Not far from the waterhole, there are four bungalows, which were built by Zhang Guifang, the owner of the nearby tea mountain, to live for the tea lady during the tea picking season, which is now vacant.

There was a monitor in the corner outside the bungalow, but because no one lived here and there was nothing of value in the house, the monitor was not turned on at all.

The closest home is two kilometers away.

After Xu Mingzhi turned around, he couldn't help but sigh: It's really a good place to throw corpses.

If it weren't for the recent drought, this Gui Fang would have pumped almost all the water in the pool at once, and the body would have been thrown inside, and it would be hard to say when it would have been found.

About half an hour later, Lao Yuan had a rough guess about the time of the deceased's death.

"Within a week, more than three days. The specific time will have to go back and do further testing to be determined. ”

Today is the 8th, more than three days, less than a week, that is, the deceased accident should be after August 1st, before the 5th.

There was nothing on the deceased that could identify him, and Xu Mingzhi sent the deceased's face photo to the technical department. However, although the photo was sent, Xu Mingzhi didn't have much hope at all.

Many people's ID photos are a little different from the reality, such as Yu Keke, the victim in the Miaoshan Village case, because there is a big difference between my appearance and the ID photo registered in the system, so that when they compared it at that time, they didn't compare it at all, and the deceased in front of him soaked in the water for so long, and the whole face was swollen and deformed, and the difference was even greater, and the possibility of matching it can be said to be very small.

Xu Mingzhi took a turn around again, and after making sure that there were no clues missing, he and Yu Guang drove out first. This road goes all the way out, surrounded by either mountains and forests, or fields. Without people, there will naturally be no surveillance. The nearest homes are on the side of the road two kilometers away.

And after getting on the main road, everything is easy to walk, and there is no monitoring at the intersection. The most recent surveillance is about two or three kilometers to the east, at the intersection of Xinxiang Tea Street, which is the tea street where Zhu Mingyu and his wife's tea packaging shop is located.

And within these two or three kilometers, there are several intersections.

This road, there are a lot of vehicles coming and going every day, there are many intersections in the middle, many villages and towns nearby, the monitoring is not fully covered, and it is basically impossible to find out the corpse thrower through the path.

Xu Mingzhi and Yu Guang walked back and forth on this road, and finally stopped at the entrance of Tea Street. The two sat in the car, watching the people and cars at the intersection, each pondering.

After a long time, Yu Guang was the first to break the silence: "How about we make a bold assumption?" ”

Xu Mingzhi turned his head to look at him, waiting for the following.

Yu Guang tilted his head slightly, and his eyes followed the street to the other end of Tea Street, where there was a tea packaging shop, and the owner was Zhu Mingyu and his wife, who had been abused and killed in their newly built building not long ago.

Xu Mingzhi looked at his gaze and vaguely guessed what he wanted to say.

Really.

"What if the deceased is the third person in Zhu Mingyu's case?"

Xu Mingzhi was silent and then followed: "Then who killed him?" ”

Yu Guang retracted his gaze and looked at him: "I have some speculation, but there is no evidence, do you want to listen?" ”

Xu Mingzhi knew what his guess was, he didn't answer, Yu Guang didn't say any more, and the car fell silent again.

There is no evidence for these speculations at the moment, so Yu Guang said that it is just a bold hypothesis.

However, Xu Mingzhi still went to his heart, and after returning to the city bureau, he asked Lao Yuan to help verify it. Although the body was blistered for a long time, and the fingerprints were not easy to collect, they were still collected, and after comparing them with the groups of fingerprints found in Zhu Mingyu's house, they were really compared.

When Lao Yuan told Xu Mingzhi about the results of the fingerprint comparison, he was curious, so he asked: "How did you connect the deceased with the Zhu Mingyu case?" ”

Xu Mingzhi replied: "Yu Guang thought of it first." Actually, when Yu Guang said it, Xu Mingzhi probably thought of it. The two cases occurred at a similar time, and they are both within the boundaries of Xinxiang, which makes it easy for people to connect with each other. Moreover, when handling cases, it is always assumed first and then ruled out. Sometimes, without accurate information, you have to cast a wide net, try to catch all the fish in the net first, and then slowly eliminate them.

At the moment, the net is spreading a pretty good one.

The third murderer in Zhu Mingyu's case can be regarded as being fished out. It can be said that Zhu Mingyu's case has been solved. But a new case has arisen, and who killed this person?

Who killed Shen Qiche?

And Sun Jinhai, who overdosed on drugs at the beginning, was it an accident? Or was someone deliberately murdered?

Now, the three murderers in the Zhu Mingyu case are all dead, which cannot be a coincidence. In such a situation, there are only two possibilities, either someone takes revenge, or someone kills them.

Is it the former, or is it the latter?

But whether it is the former or the latter, this person must be very clear about the truth about the death of Zhu Mingyu and his wife, otherwise how would he find these three murderers and attack them accurately?

Not only is he very clear about the truth, but he is at least very familiar with Shen Qichel and the current deceased, so familiar that Shen Qichel and the current deceased have relative trust in him, and he is so familiar that he can easily start.

Who could this person be?

Xu Mingzhi first thought of Feng Qin.

At least, Feng Qin and Shen Qi are familiar.

Moreover, when interrogating Feng Qin last night, his behavior was a little strange, which made it difficult not to be suspicious.

Thinking of Feng Qin, Xu Mingzhi suddenly thought that this person was still in the interrogation room.

Just as he was about to go to meet him for a while, Lao Yuan called again. He said that the cause of death of the deceased had been basically determined, and the real cause of death of the deceased was a broken rib and then punctured in the lungs, resulting in severe internal bleeding and eventually death. But the reason for the broken rib is probably because of the stone.

Strip stones? Xu Mingzhi was stunned when he heard these two words, and he didn't react at once.

Lao Yuan reminded: "Just the stone tied to the body bag." ”

When Xu Mingzhi heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised: "You mean that the deceased may have been alive before being thrown into that pool?" ”

"That's not true, the deceased also had a head injury, but it was not serious, at most it made him unconscious. The murderer must have picked up the stone and smashed it on him after he fell unconscious. Under the heavy blow, the deceased's ribs were broken, his lungs were punctured, and finally he died of blood loss and suffocation. ”

When Xu Mingyi heard this, he immediately grasped the point: "So, as long as we can find the source of this stone, we can basically determine the scene of the first crime?" ”

After a short groan, Lao Yuan said, "You can say that." In addition, there are two clues that may be useful in the investigation of this case. ”

"You say." Xu Mingzhi was a little anxious.

"One is that there are heavy wear marks on this stone, and it should have been a stepping stone before. The other is that we found some residual tea residue on the deceased's pants. ”

Tea pomace?

Xu Ming's heart was shocked again.

"It's the kind of tea residue that has been fried." Lao Yuan was probably worried that Xu Mingzhi would misunderstand the meaning, so he added.

And Xu Mingzhi had a thought in his mind at this time: Feng Qin opened a tea processing factory.
