Chapter 406 Crime Scene
“Huh?”
Wang Tao wondered if he heard wrongly.
"Mr. Wang, you heard right, Mayor Yao Guodong froze to death!"
Gu Yun's tone was a little serious and a little sad.
Yao Guodong...frozen to death?
Wang Tao still doesn't believe it. This is a bit too sudden. They talked last night.
Yao Guodong is now a superpower. The crystal core that Wang Tao fused for him still has the ability to passively increase physical fitness, so Yao Guodong's current physical fitness is far superior to ordinary people.
Of course, this does not mean that Yao Guodong is resistant to freezing, but that he can move freely in low-temperature environments - if he feels cold, he is fully capable of finding a warm place to stay. Instead of losing body temperature, exhausting energy, and eventually freezing to death in the snow like ordinary people.
Not to mention that he is still the mayor of the base, so he is basically under protection all the time...
In this case, he would freeze to death?
“What is the specific situation?”
Wang Tao asked with a frown.
Gu Yun immediately explained:
"Last night, Mayor Yao was busy until early in the morning before going back. The mayor's wife said that he drank some wine after going back and was a little dizzy when he went to sleep. Then he got up at night to go to the bathroom and never came back. The mayor’s wife found out in the morning that Mayor Yao had frozen to death in the yard..."
After hearing this explanation, Wang Tao's frown deepened.
If you are an ordinary person, this explanation is quite reasonable. But if it were placed on the head of the mayor of Changhe Base City, this would not be too unreasonable.
For example, at this critical moment, he dared to drink after returning? Does he think his position as mayor is too secure?
For another example, he went out of the door to use the toilet? What kind of old house does he live in that doesn't even have a bathroom? Although there are such houses in the base, especially where some civilians live and use public toilets outside, he is the mayor, so he can't live in such a bad place, right?
Also, Yao Guodong disappeared all night, and the mayor’s wife didn’t even notice? Didn't they sleep in the same bed?
In Wang Tao's view, this is too unreasonable. But then again, this is the end of the world. In the end of the world, there is unreasonability, but it is reasonable...
Wang Tao asked again:
"Where are you now?"< br>
“It’s right there!”
“Can I go over and have a look?”
"Of course, the reason why I'm so anxious to find you is because I want you to come over..."
"Okay, wait a moment."
After Wang Tao ended the call, everyone else followed suit. woke up.
He told everyone about it.
“The mayor froze to death?”
Everyone was a little confused.
"Gu Yungang just called...I won't have breakfast. I'll go to the scene to see what's going on."
Wang Tao simply told them what Gu Yun said again. .
In fact, he and Yao Guodong had only known each other for a few days, and they didn't have much friendship. On the contrary, Yao Guodong owed him a favor. But after all, he is the mayor and the highest administrator of Changhe Base. His sudden death may have some unpredictable effects on the base, and Wang Tao must pay attention to it.
“I’m with you!”
Han Rui spoke quickly. She used to be a criminal police officer and had some experience in this area.
“I’ll go too.”
He Jijun walked out.
"Take me with you, I feel there may be something fishy about this matter. It is unreasonable for a mayor to freeze to death. Maybe I can see something..."
To Hong Bin's mechanical eye flashed with blue light.
"Okay."
So, Wang Tao took Lan Yulian, Han Rui, He Jijun, Xiang Hongbin and Lightning out together.
“Hiss—it’s so cold!”
As soon as she went out, Han Rui shrank her neck.
Among this group of people, she is the only one with third-level abilities. Her physical fitness is relatively weak, and her ability to withstand the cold is not as good as the others.
Wang Tao looked at the information watch. It seemed that it was one degree lower than yesterday.
“Isn’t it that the temperature has been dropping?”
Shaking his head, Wang Tao led a few people into the car.
It took some time and the car arrived at the city hall.
The mayor lives in a villa behind the city hall. Although it is snowing heavily, there are already cars parked outside the villa.
The cordon had been set up and police officers in thick uniforms were in place to maintain order, and most people were kept outside.
“Wang Tao!”
Gu Yun, who was inside the cordon, waved to Wang Tao. Although the visibility was a bit low due to the heavy snow, Xiang Hongbin's size, figure, and blue eyes were still very conspicuous here, and Gu Yun could see them all at a glance.
"Let's go over."
The police set up a cordon for several people. After Wang Tao entered, he heard some faint crying.
Before others have passed, the mental detection has already passed.
At a glance, he saw Yao Guodong lying in the snow, his face pale and stiff, surrounded by a circle of police taking photos and collecting evidence. At the door of the villa, two women in thick clothes were kneeling on the ground crying.
Wang Tao looked at Gu Yun's expression calmly.
“Aren’t you going to take him back?”
“The evidence collection work has not been completed yet. After all, this is a huge matter, and we cannot leave anything out!”
Gu Yun sighed.
"Then do you mind letting us take a look?"
There are two cordons here, one is to prevent outsiders from entering, and the other is to surround Yao Guodong.
"Of course, but please don't ruin the scene..."
"Okay."
Wang Tao brought Han Rui and the others closer.
After seeing the situation clearly, Han Rui shook her head.
"Sure enough, as we just analyzed in the car, there are no traces here, they are all covered up by the heavy snow..."
The snow is very heavy now, and Yao Guodong is lying in the snow. After such a long time, even if there are traces, they have long been covered up.
But suddenly, Han Rui and He Jijun spoke at the same time.
"There is a discovery!"
"Huh? What?"
Wang Tao asked immediately.
Gu Yun next to him also looked at the two of them curiously.
“There is a footprint, the footprint is very small, it doesn’t look like Yao Guodong’s!”
He Jijun pointed to a place and said.
Han Rui also nodded.
"Yes, it should be a woman's footprints. The footprints lead directly to the villa..."
Wang Tao looked at the place the two pointed at, but found nothing. He looked carefully again, not knowing whether it was an illusion or a psychological effect, but it seemed that he really saw a footprint...
Gu Yun, on the other hand, looked at Han Rui and He Jijun in shock.
"How did you see it? Those were the footprints of the mayor's wife. She discovered the mayor half an hour ago, ran over to take a look, and then hurriedly called the police..."
Hear Gu Yun's words made Wang Tao and others frown instantly.
They heard an important point. The important point was not "the mayor's wife", but Gu Yun said that these were the footprints from half an hour ago. After only half an hour, the footprints were almost invisible. And Yao Guodong had been lying here for at least five hours, so anything that happened during these five hours would obviously be completely covered up by the heavy snow... Even if there was something fishy about Yao Guodong's death, it would not be easy to find out!
“I am studying carefully...”
Han Rui and others started research again.
“See if you can find anything.”
Wang Tao patted Lightning’s head, and Lightning immediately sniffed everywhere.
"I almost forgot, you still have this mutant military dog, maybe you can really find something!"
Gu Yun looked at Lightning, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"I don't know much about this either. Let them see it. I want to ask Mayor Yao again..."
Wang Tao looked at Gu Yun.
“Okay.”
Gu Yun nodded.
The two started chatting on the side.
Wang Tao has little experience in this kind of thing, so he really can't tell anything, but he has the ability to detect spirits. So when he was chatting with Gu Yun, he was still using mental detection to check Yao Guodong.
Wang Tao looked first at the footprints of the municipal lady. With the naked eye, it is difficult to see that there are footprints here. But when he detected it with his mental power, he could clearly feel that the snow here was different from the snow in other places!
This immediately made Wang Tao happy. His mental power was really useful!
And not only can he see the footprints, but he can also tell which footprints come first and which follow the other based on the state of the snow.
So Wang Tao continued to detect, this time around Yao Guodong.
Then Wang Tao discovered that the snow covered underneath was indeed different in some places - there were other footprints!
However, after some comparisons, Wang Tao found that these footprints belonged to Yao Guodong.
Wang Tao was not disappointed. He kept all these footprints in his mind, and after a while of analysis, he slowly assembled them into a moving three-dimensional picture.
Wang Tao slowly frowned.
Judging from these footprints, Yao Guodong seems to be really drunk - he staggered all the way from the door of the villa to here, stopped, as if he was taking off his pants? However, he didn't stand firm, his steps were messy, and he staggered around the area again, then fell down in the snow and never got up again...
If you are an ordinary person, this situation is very reasonable. Before the end of the world, you would occasionally see news about people freezing to death outside in the north. Basically, it was caused by drunkenness.
But Yao Guodong is a superpower, so even if he is really drunk, he will not be like this...
Wang Tao took a closer look and found that there were indeed only two footprints on the scene: Yao Guodong and his wife. Moreover, there was a long gap between his wife's footprints and his, which meant that no one was accompanying Yao Guodong when he came out.
Not far from Yao Guodong’s body, there was some frozen... urine? Did he really come out to pee?
The urine has not been discovered by the police yet, but they will definitely find it when they move the body later...
Wang Tao searched around Yao Guodong's body again, but found nothing except these.
Then Wang Tao set his sights on Yao Guodong's body.
Wang Tao's mental power is a very strong ability. Not only can he connect with other people's mental powers, he can also see through their clothes and observe other people's bodies like a clairvoyant.
However, Wang Tao rarely uses this ability, because ordinary people or people with special powers who are more sensitive will feel like they are being spied on. If you are a powerful awakener, you might be able to find out that Wang Tao is peeping.
Wang Tao doesn't want to be a perverted voyeur, so Wang Tao uses it occasionally when playing games with Ding Yuqin and the others to make it more interesting. Normally, Wang Tao hardly uses it.
Now that Yao Guodong was dead, Wang Tao naturally had no hesitation. He detected his spiritual power openly and studied it carefully.
Not to mention fatal wounds on Yao Guodong's body, there were not even any ordinary wounds.
“Is it really an accident?”
Wang Tao frowned.
Personally, he is more inclined to be killed, but he really can't see anything, including mental detection.
"We can only look at them..."
Wang Tao shook his head.
More than half an hour later, the investigation and evidence collection at the scene came to an end for the time being, and they were ready to take Yao Guodong's body home. However, the crime scene still needs to be sealed off, and it may have to be sealed off for many days. But based on the current weather conditions, if nothing can be found out today, it is estimated that nothing will be found out in the future.
"There are some findings..."
Han Rui quietly reported to Wang Tao that what she found was urine, and Yao Guodong really came out to pee.
"Yeah."
Wang Tao nodded, as long as Yao Guodong's body is moved, it will definitely be found.
After the police carried Yao Guodong’s body into the villa, Gu Yun greeted Wang Tao and others:
“Let’s go in.”
“Okay. .”
Wang Tao and his party came to the villa.
At this time, basically all the prominent leaders of the forces in the base have arrived. Yao Guodong's death is a big event after all.
After greeting several acquaintances, Wang Tao looked at the two women who were kneeling and crying in front of Yao Guodong's body. One is about twenty-five or six years old, and the other is about eighteen or nineteen years old. They are both beautiful, but they are ordinary people with hundreds of blood.
"These are Mayor Yao's two wives, cough..."
Gu Yun explained in a low voice in Wang Tao's ear.
Wang Tao: "..."
Despite his age, Mayor Yao is still quite young!
“Isn’t this his first wife?”
Gu Yun asked in a low voice.
“Of course, it would be good to be alive in the apocalypse...Families nowadays are basically reorganized...These two were also added after Mayor Yao joined the city hall.”
< br>
"Then who is the mayor's wife you were talking about before?"
Wang Tao asked again.
“It’s the older one, her name is Qiu Rong. Because our base does not recognize the system of polygamy or polyandry, but it does not force monogamy. After all, we are short of population. We need them to make a little man... But on the surface, we are still monogamous, so Qiu Rong, who first followed Mayor Yao, is the mayor's wife..."
Wang Tao nodded, very Reasonable.
Gu Yun came to Qiu Rong and said:
"Madam, let's go in first. The autopsy is going to be done next..."
"Okay..."
Autopsies are a bit scary for ordinary people, so Gu Yun asked They both returned to the room.
Wang Tao saw that there were police officers guarding the door of the room.
“They are very suspicious!”
After Gu Yun left, Han Rui whispered in Wang Tao's ear.
“How do you say that?”
Wang Tao raised his eyebrows.
"Because even though they were crying hard and bursting into tears, it was actually very fake and they didn't feel sad at all!"
"..."
Wang Tao immediately squeezed Han Rui's little hand, and then whispered speechlessly:
"You expect two young women to really like one who is not tall, not handsome, and may not be good in bed?" Old man? Of course, this is not completely impossible. For example, among them There are stories. But they haven’t experienced much together. They were found by Yao Guodong after he joined the city hall. Most likely, Mayor Yao is simply greedy for his appearance..."
"... ”
Han Rui felt that Wang Tao was right.
She subconsciously looked at Wang Tao. She and Wang Tao were able to be together because they had experienced a lot...
But Wang Tao suddenly said:
"But my sixth sense tells me that I may be able to find something from these two women..."
