Chapter 16: The Murder Weapon Left Behind in the Dark Corner
The homeless man's home was still there, and the front door was still locked.
After looking around the house, I finally fixed my eyes on the window of the back door.
The window was not locked, so Tan Wan studied it for a while, then put his finger into the gap on the edge of the window, and held his breath and pulled out.
With a creak, the wooden window opened, and the dust and wood chips flew all over the window, choking people and coughing.
The furnishings in the house are similar to what I saw at the door that day, the garbage in the house is constantly fermenting in the confined space, and the smell is like the stinky socks that Li Dongliao wore for a week when he went out on duty and then soaked in acid water for another day, which is no different from biological and chemical weapons.
A piece of glass was pressed on top of the table to protect the tabletop, and several old photographs were pressed under the glass.
The photo is a little old, and it is already a little old and yellow.
Tan Wan lifted the glass and carefully pulled out one of them, and found the words on the back: Beloved daughter's 18th birthday, may you always be happy.
The picture is a homeless man when he was young, and the little girl next to him who is a head shorter than him, although her appearance has changed a little, she can still recognize Guo Fenglian.
A few photos were carefully put into the evidence bag, Tan Wan put on the gloves prepared in advance, and quickly rummaged through the room.
There are a lot of books in this family, most of which are some metaphysical books of Qimen Dunjia.
Many of the books here have not been read, and there is a thin layer of dust floating on the cover of the book.
Only one book called "Shennong's Ancient Prescription" has no dust on it, and the traces of turning the pages are obvious.
Tan Wan just flipped through a random page, and saw a starry blood stain in the small right corner of the page.
The further back I went, the more blood stains there were, and there were several fingerprints in the dried bloodstains.
Tan Wan stared at the page where the blood stains were most obvious for a long time, and finally understood completely: "Sure enough, that's the case." ”
The most critical evidence was in hand, and he was just about to withdraw when he suddenly heard a knock on the wallboard.
'Knock, knock, knock......'
The sound of percussion sounded at a constant speed, and the sound was soft and light.
Tan Wan put his ear on the wall panel, and listened all the way along the movement of the wall panel, during which he thought that there was a partition in the wall panel, and kept knocking on the wooden wall with his hand.
The sound of the tapping sounded normal, and nothing strange could be detected.
The sound of 'knock, knock, knock......' never stopped, echoing throughout the dilapidated house.
Tan Wan frowned slightly, stood in place and concentrated on distinguishing for a while, and then slowly shifted his gaze to his feet.
"No......" She didn't care about getting dirty, and one fell to the ground, striking the ground inch by inch.
After finally making sure that the sound was coming from under the bed, she removed all the debits from under the homeless man's bed one by one.
The bed was stuffed with almost all sorts of things picked up from the garbage dump, empty bottles, old dolls, old blankets were all messily stuffed under the bed and tangled.
The position of the bed was very low, and even if you bent down, you couldn't see what was under the bed, and you had to kneel on the ground and move it out one by one.
When all the empty plastic bottles and rags were pulled out, a wooden partition door leading to the basement was exposed!
I tried to open it twice, but found that the wooden door was facing up, and it was not enough to open the door and remove the garbage, but also to move the bed.
Tan Wan was like taking a sauna, panting, looking at the big wooden bed in front of him in a daze, and fell into thought: "I'll go, I knew that I would do physical work, so I called Li Dongliao to come together." ”
called Li Dongliao, but no one answered the phone after ringing for a long time.
Until all the patience is lost, and it doesn't matter so much about talking about the night, he rolls up his sleeves: "Dry!" ”
It almost took a lot of effort, like a slender steamer, to use the strength of milk, and barely pull the bed away.
The entrance to the basement was completely exposed to the air, and I was tired for a long time, and I felt dizzy when I talked late.
Today's incident made Tan Wan realize that it seems that his physical strength in recent years has not been as good as when he went to the police academy, and Li Dongliao will be allowed to go to everything, this is not good, and the physical training must be stepped up to make up for it!
Without further ado, Tan Wan put his hand on the pouch on his waist and opened the wooden door with the other.
As soon as it was opened, a strong and disgusting smell of blood came to the nostrils, and the smokers couldn't bear it.
There was no light on below, and it was dark: "Is there anyone down there?!" Tan Wan shouted inside.
As soon as the voice fell, I heard the sound of whimpering and crying for help from below, accompanied by the sound of chains.
Since I didn't know how big it was or what was going on below, I didn't rush down the night.
She turned on her phone's flashlight and swept it towards the basement.
The place where the light swept was a mess, the walls were splashed with a mess of blood, and on the ground, half-oxidized and not yet oxidized blood were mixed together, soaking the ground.
In the center of the basement are two metal shelf beds with metal bindings.
One of the beds was soaked in red blood and was empty, while on the other lay a girl dressed in white.
The mouth was sealed with duct tape, the cape was scattered, and the limbs were fixed to the bed from which there was no escape.
The girl seemed to be greatly frightened, and when she saw someone coming, she looked at Tan Wan with wide eyes, and desperately wrenched her chains with her hands and feet and called for help from her!
After confirming that everything below was safe, Tan Wan jumped down and felt the switch of the light on the wall.
As the switch was flicked, the only light bulb in the room glowed brightly, illuminating the nooks and crannies of the basement, driving away all the darkness.
I turned on the lights, and as my vision cleared, everything around me was even more breathtaking.
Rusty hinges and iron hooks hung from the corners, and blood-stained dirty cloth was piled up on the corner floor.
And the machete used to kill was placed on the table by the wall, soaked in blood, and lay there quietly.
The little girl was emotional, and kept struggling when Tan Wan untied the hinges for her, until Tan Wan comforted: "I'm a policeman, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!" She quieted down a little.
Five minutes later, the trapped girl returned to the ground under the guidance of Tan Wan.
Probably because he has been locked up for too long, his eyes have not yet adapted to the sunlight outside, so he can only cover his eyes with his hands.
On the other hand, she was afraid that the murderer would return home, and the girl's nerves were tense all the time, and she looked left and right from time to time to observe her surroundings.
As soon as a cat passes by or a bird flies outside the house, she will stress herself to observe the situation at the source of the sound and make sure that it is not a person who is coming.
Tan Wan found out about this and comforted her: "Don't be nervous, no one will come here." As he spoke, he patted the gun on his waist and said with a light smile: "Besides, we still have this." ”
Seeing the gun, the trapped girl smiled at the party, and it was rare to relax.
