Chapter 180 The murder occurs again!


Chapter 180 The murder occurs again!

February 24, night, eight o'clock in the evening.

Due to winter, the daylight hours are short. It has just reached seven o'clock and it is already completely dark.

Two police cars drove toward the northwest of Haijiang District with their double rows of lights on.

In less than an hour, the group arrived at their destination.

After getting off the car, Cai Xiaojing discovered that the murder was not in the cement factory, but in the wilderness south of the factory, half a kilometer away from the factory wall.

A cordon has been set up at the scene, because workers in the cement factory had just gotten off work and heard that a murder had occurred nearby. Many workers had nothing to do, so they came to watch and stood outside, whispering and pointing.

Cai Xiaojing looked around. The terrain here is open and there are countless cement pipes stacked on the field. The cylindrical cement pipes are stacked layer by layer. They are several meters high. Maybe they are afraid of the top ones. The cement pipes rolled down, with bricks piled on both sides.

Useless cement pipes that were intended to be discarded were randomly discarded. There were dozens of large and small pipes in the open space.

These cement pipes have openings on both sides and are half a meter high. They are mainly used as sewer pipes in the city.

Cai Xiaojing and Du Feng ducked through the cordon with their heads down, and Gu Dayong, the police station chief, trotted over.

"Captain Du, Captain Cai, please follow me, the victim is here." Gu Dayong said.

Yes, another murder occurred in his jurisdiction. He was just about to get off work when he was called here.

Gu Dayong's face was pale and he looked uncomfortable, and he and Cai Xiaojing were all out of pleasantries.

The three people walked to a cement pipe. Gu Dayong pointed inside and said: "Look, the person is inside, and he died so miserably!"

Because the diameter of the cement pipe was only half a meter high, Cai Xiaojing and Du Feng had to squat down and look inside.

However, the first thing they noticed was the opposite side of the cement pipe. The opposite side was actually sealed by cement. The side they were standing on now should also be sealed. They could see the newly destroyed red pipe. Brick and cement residue.

Gu Dayong handed Cai Xiaojing a flashlight. After she turned it away, she looked inside.

In an instant, her whole face turned pale, and her stomach felt as if she had eaten a heavy piece of iron.

Du Feng also saw the scene inside and couldn't help but frown slightly.

The wall of the cement pipe was full of dried blood. A woman wearing a red down jacket was huddled inside, and she could no longer look human.

The red down jacket seemed to have been torn by something, revealing more than a dozen holes. White duck down was scattered in the pipes. The duck down was mixed with blood and stuck in the pipes.

My daughter’s neck and face are dark.

Because her head was facing the opening, Cai Xiaojing could clearly see that her neck and head seemed to have been gnawed by wild beasts, with large pieces of flesh and blood missing.

The woman's hands and feet were tied, and her mouth was wrapped with tape layer by layer. She could not make a sound at all before she died.

It's February now, the temperature is low, but you can still smell a highly putrid stench.

It means the person has been dead for a long time!

Cai Xiaojing stood up and held back the discomfort in her stomach.

Du Feng took the flashlight in her hand and was still looking down. In order to see more carefully, he knelt on the ground with one leg, covered his nose, and stuck his whole head in.

Because the woman’s face had been chewed off, her appearance and age could not be seen at all.

At this time, Zhao Ming, the director of the Technical Investigation Section, asked: "Team Du, can I start the investigation?"

"Okay, Director Zhao, I leave it to you."

Zhao Ming He is forty years old, wearing glasses and a blue vest with the word 'mark inspection' written on the back.

He and two subordinates have set up searchlights, preparing to take photos and bring up clues at the murder scene.

There are two particularly awesome people in the Haijiang Branch. One is Zhao Ming. He graduated from a prestigious university. He is not only highly educated and conscientious in work, but also often discovers physical evidence clues that others cannot see.

The city bureau tried to poach him many times, but he was never tempted.

In addition to him, the Haijiang Branch also has an old treasure, forensic doctor Zhao and Zhao Chunlai who are standing next to Cai Xiaojing at the moment.

Zhao Chunlai is too qualified. Since he became a forensic doctor, he has dissected more than 8,000 corpses.

Having been doing this job for thirty years, it takes almost a day and a half to dissect a corpse.

Of course, his work is not limited to the Haijiang Branch. He will also be invited to other branches, including the Municipal Bureau.

Naturally, the city bureau also wanted to transfer him, but he did not agree.

The reason is simple, Zhao Ming is his son!

Father and son, one is a forensic doctor and the other is a technical detective, and they both do their jobs to the extreme. They can be regarded as very good father and son.

However, the two have different personalities.

Zhao Ming is meticulous in his work and serious in speech, but his father Zhao Chunlai is different. Although he doesn't talk much, he has a bit of a venomous tongue.

When Cai Xiaojing was first transferred to Haijiang Branch, Yang Gan was still serving as the captain of the criminal police brigade, and the person who quarreled with him the most was Zhao Chunlai.

However, he had no choice but to hold back the anger in his heart.

Du Feng stood up and asked Gu Dayong: "Gu Suo, it is obvious that the victim was eaten by animals..."

Gu Dayong slapped his forehead and said immediately: "Yes, yes! I almost forgot... follow me!"

Du Feng and Cai Xiaojing hurriedly followed him, and after going around a few corners, they saw a policeman holding a stray dog ​​in his hand. The dog, standing not far away.

The rope in the policeman's hand was not a dog rope, but a hemp rope, and it should have been freshly put on.

The policeman was young and pale. He had just joined the police force. He stood far away, as if he was afraid of the stray dog ​​crouching aside.

When Du Feng shined his flashlight, the originally peaceful wild dog immediately became fierce. It exerted force on its four legs, as if it was about to pounce.

If its mouth hadn't been tied up with a plastic tie, it would have howled.

The wild dog's hair was dry, and its hair and mouth were covered in dried black blood.

No need to think about it, Du Feng and Cai Xiaojing also understood what was going on.

Gu Dayong covered his nose and waved to his subordinates on the side.

"Go and call the person who reported the crime."

"Okay, look at me."

Not long after, two young men and women wearing blue overalls were arrested. Brought over.

The two of them looked very scared. The man was relatively calm, but the woman was only in her early twenties, and her lips were white, as if she had just vomited.

Seeing the wild dog, the woman trembled with fright and did not dare to look at the dog at all.

Gu Dayong pointed at the two of them: "This is the case they reported."

Du Feng nodded slightly and asked the man: "Tell me, how did you find this place? ”

“This...is That's it." The man swallowed, calmed down, and replied, "My girlfriend and I were going to stay here for a while after we got off work. When we arrived, we heard a dog barking. I thought it was strange, so I looked around. A circle..."

The man pointed to the cement pipe that the technical detective was investigating.

“Finally, I found the dog barking in the cement pipe. I was curious and thought who had locked the dog inside. Moreover, the two ends of the cement pipe were originally empty, but they were blocked by people. It was made of red bricks and cement was poured in. I thought it was strange, so I smashed the blocked end with bricks from the ground. < br>
Because there was a dog inside, I didn’t dare to knock it all off, leaving only a fist-sized gap exposed. Then I looked inside with a laser pointer, and I... I saw this wild dog squatting inside, eating people! "

Even though the man was still calm, he couldn't help but retched twice when he said this.

“The scene was so scary. The beast’s mouth was full of blood. His eyes were staring at me and he pounced on me. So I quickly called the police.”

Du Feng nodded and asked: "Besides you and your friends, was there anyone else here at that time?"

The man shook his head: "Normally everyone doesn't come here. We get off work at half past five. I came here because I have to work overtime at 6:30, so We were going to stay here for a while and then go back to the factory, but we didn't expect to encounter something like this."

Du Feng looked at the woman next to him, but saw her with her head lowered, her body trembling, and her arms wrapped around her. On the chest, it looked like he was quite frightened.

In this situation, we cannot just listen to the one-sided story of the person who reported the crime, so Du Feng asked his subordinates to take these two people back to the police station first, wait for them to calm down, and then make a detailed record.

Gu Dayong found the person in charge of the cement plant and the security guard from outside the cordon.

According to the person in charge, this area was originally used by the cement factory and was specially used to store cement pipes.

Because during the flood season, these cement pipes will be used in municipal projects and will be transported away then.

The person in charge said that workers rarely come to this place. The young man and woman may have come here to find some excitement, so they accidentally discovered the murder case.

However, this is not reliable, because Zhao Ming found a lot of used condoms around, with different sizes, shapes, and colors.

After being exposed to the weather, these covers are very old, and there is dried liquid inside, so they are obviously used.

But nothing new was found. It was probably after the Spring Festival, not long after construction started. In addition, the temperature was low and it snowed a few days ago, so the workers in the cement plant were afraid of the cold.

Cai Xiaojing observed the surroundings for a long time and found no useful clues.

The cement factory is half a kilometer away from here, and the gate is not here, and the surveillance cannot capture it.

Now, we can only wait for the technical investigation police investigation and the forensic autopsy report.

The only thing we can do is to call the surrounding road surveillance to see if we can find any useful clues.

After Du Feng reported the situation at the scene to Wei Qunshan, the latter told them to stop the team first, go home and have a good sleep, and the investigation would begin tomorrow morning.

Zhao Ming and Zhao Chunlai did not get any rest. They had to finish the work at hand overnight and then hand over the report to Du Feng and the others.

Cai Xiaojing returned home and took a bath. When she was lying on the bed, she picked up her mobile phone and wanted to make a call to Luo Rui.

She hasn't seen him for half a month, and she has no reason to look for him.

Now that a murder has occurred and Luo Rui is the criminal team leader of Haijiang District, Cai Xiaojing has an excuse.

However, she did not dial the number.

She didn't dare to disturb him, after all, Luo Rui was in the learning stage.

She understood that the two bosses of the provincial department and Wei Qunshan were looking forward to his growth and hoped that he could join the police force as soon as possible.

When this murder occurred, Wei Qunshan and Du Feng didn't even mention Luo Rui's name, maybe they didn't want him to be involved.

On the one hand, of course Luo Rui is pursuing further studies. On the other hand, Du Feng, as the captain of the criminal investigation team, also wants to use his own ability to solve the case and capture the suspect.

Cai Xiaojing put down her phone and turned off the lamp.

The next morning, when she came to the police station, she found that Du Feng didn't go home at all last night. He was still wearing yesterday's clothes and fell asleep on his desk.

Hearing the footsteps, Du Feng was immediately awakened. He raised his head and rubbed his cheek.

"Xiaojing, you are here. Lao Zhao and Xiao Zhao's reports have been prepared. Let's go, let's go to the meeting."

Cai Xiaojing said with concern: "Captain Du, you've been waiting for a night Not sleeping?”

Du Feng rubbed the sore back of his head and replied with squinted eyes: "I slept for two hours. It's okay. I didn't sleep much."

Cai Xiaojing shook her head: "Captain Du, don't imitate Chen Hao , Staying up late to work on the case will destroy your body."

After saying that, she handed him her uneaten breakfast.

"Soy milk and fried dough sticks."

Du Feng did not answer: "This is your breakfast. I will go downstairs to buy it later."

"I just ate, this is what's left."

"Okay, thank you."

After Du Feng took it, he ate the fried dough sticks and walked out of the office.

Not long after, the two came to the case analysis conference room.

The conference room was already full of people, including Zhao and his son. The two of them were used to staying up late and didn't feel much tired.

After Cai Xiaojing sat down, she found that the whiteboard was filled with words and pictures of the victims. It seemed that Du Feng had stayed up late to make it.

The name of the victim is not yet known. The photo was taken at the scene. The victim’s face was eaten by wild dogs, so there is no clear frontal photo.

Du Feng stood in front of the whiteboard and began to describe the case.

“We received a call last night and arrived at the scene at 7:55 pm.

After questioning the reporter last night, they found the body at At 6:40 pm, there was no one else at the scene except them.

We asked the person in charge and the security guard of the cement factory. Because the factory had just started construction not long ago, no one had been to the place where the cement pipes were stacked.

According to on-site analysis, the victim should have been kidnapped by the murderer, then taken to this place and thrown into a cement pipe. Then, the murderer found a stray dog, put the wild dog in, and finally blocked both ends of the cement pipe.

Uncle Zhao has preliminarily inspected the body and found that the female victim should be around 24 years old, with fifteen bite marks all over her body. "

Du Feng put the photos in his hand on the clue board one by one, and introduced: "Apart from being bitten by a wild dog, she has no other external injuries on her body, and she has not been sexually assaulted. After the autopsy, according to the autopsy report, we can see that a large piece of meat was bitten off the neck and face of the deceased. This should be the cause of her death.

That is, the deceased was bitten to death by wild dogs! ”

Looking at the horrific photos on the clue board, the detectives in the conference room frowned and took a breath of air.

Been bitten to death?

The deceased had several rounds of transparent tape wrapped around her head. At that time, she was unable to call for help until the wild dog bit off her neck and gnawed off her face...

This At this time, Zhao Chunlai put down the thermos cup in his hand and said slowly: "Fifteenth I calculated that this damn beast had eaten a total of three kilograms of the victim..." Hearing this, Chu Yang felt nauseated. He sat next to forensic doctor Zhao and said quickly: "Well... Uncle Zhao , don’t say it!”

Zhao Chunlai shook his head with a wry smile: "You, please come to my forensic room more often to ensure that you lose weight successfully."

Chu Yang finally held back and did not spit it out, otherwise he would be very embarrassed.

Zhao Chunlai did not have to attend the case analysis meeting of the frontline criminal police, but he felt that this case was too cruel and the victim died too tragically. Out of respect for the deceased, he planned to listen to the case, so He didn't go home to rest immediately.

Du Feng continued: "According to Uncle Zhao's autopsy results, the victim's time of death should have been half a month ago, that is, February 9th. The specific time of death was five o'clock in the afternoon.< br>
At that time, the cement factory was on annual holiday and only two security guards were on duty. In other words, the murderer took advantage of this time to imprison the victim in the cement pipe.

I checked the weather that day, it was snowy and the low temperature was very low. There were very few people going out, not to mention that the cement factory was located in the suburbs and was surrounded by wasteland, so it was difficult to find witnesses. "

Du Feng's sorting out of the case can be said to be very thorough. He did not stay up all night in vain.

Cai Xiaojing still admires him somewhat. After all, he is much better than Yang Qian before. .

This is, Zhao Ming stood up and took over the conversation: " After our technical investigation department inspected the scene, we found that the deceased did not have identification documents or obvious physical characteristics. And as Team Du analyzed, it snowed that day and the snow on the ground was very thick. We did not collect any Suspicious footprints and fingerprints indicate that the murderer must have been wearing gloves at the time.

The ropes and tapes used to bind the deceased were very common and can be sold at any hardware store in the city. ”

When Zhao Ming said this, everyone frowned. There were no pointing clues and evidence at the scene, making it very difficult to investigate.

Moreover, there is no murder weapon in this case.

The murder weapon was the wild dog.

This dog is now locked in a cage.

Because it ate X meat, its eyes were shining and it was very fierce.

The murderer sealed the victim and a wild dog in a cement tank, and the victim's limbs were tied. The wild dog, in extreme hunger, bit the victim to death and ate it...

What the murderer can do Such a heartbreaking thing was certainly not for the sake of making money, it was most likely a vendetta!

The clues are not clear now. We can only start with the identity of the victim.

The victim died half a month ago, that is, she disappeared before February 9th.

Du Feng divided the people into two groups. He led a group of police officers to visit the scene of the crime, hoping to find witnesses. Although it was very slim, they had to investigate. Furthermore, the victim was Transportation to the wasteland next to the cement factory will definitely require transportation. I hope the road surveillance can capture the scene at that time.

Another group, headed by Cai Xiaojing, went to the missing person's department to see if there was any missing person who fit the identity of the victim.

During the meeting, Cai Xiaojing didn’t say a word and remained silent.

Su Mingyuan saw her pale face and pursed lips, and couldn't help but ask: "Captain Cai, what's wrong? What's wrong with you?"

Chu Yang quickly pulled his clothes, He winked.

Su Mingyuan suddenly realized that Cai Xiaojing also encountered the victim two months ago.

At that time, she was imprisoned in a wooden box, with her limbs tied and the box suspended from the ceiling.

Had she not saved herself and Luo Rui arrived in time, she might have been eaten by those dirty and horrible rats.

Now, the victim also encountered the same situation, but she did not have such good luck.

Cai Xiaojing took a breath and calmed down.

She took two pictures off the clue board and put them in her briefcase.

The three people came to the floor where the missing department was located. After finding the person in charge, they explained their purpose.

After computer screening and comparison, it was found that there was no female that matched the appearance and age of the victim.

The investigation came to a dead end, Su Mingyuan asked: "What should we do now?"

Chu Yang analyzed: "February 9th is during the Spring Festival. If the person suddenly disappears, she The family will definitely report the crime.

But there is no report of the deceased, indicating that the deceased is likely to be a foreigner!”

Su Mingyuan frowned: "A foreigner? A foreigner works in this city? But why didn't she come to the place where she worked?"

Chu Yang rolled his eyes: "You are stupid, didn't you just say it was a holiday? Well, the company hasn’t started yet, where can I find her?”

Cai Xiaojing shook her head: “I can’t say it so definitely, judging from the way the deceased was dressed?” Look, the financial situation should not be bad. If she is twenty-four years old, she should have been working for a while and have a certain source of income. Moreover, the Spring Festival has long passed. If the company finds out that she has not come to work, her family should be notified... Unless She quit her job, and she is still alone..."

No speculation can be ruled out, and the investigation cannot just lead to a dead end.

Hearing this, both Chu Yang and Su Mingyuan felt heavy-headed. If Cai Xiaojing really speculated like this, how could they find it?

With a population of tens of millions, Guangxing City is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But the identity of the deceased must be investigated, and we cannot passively wait for news from the missing persons department.

In a situation like this, the only option is to publish it in the newspaper and use the power of the news media to hope to find someone who knows the victim.

Cai Xiaojing has been busy with this all day.

Chu Yang and Su Mingyuan were called by Du Feng, preparing to expand the scope of the visit, hoping to find useful clues.

From Du Feng's anxious tone, Cai Xiaojing knew that there was little hope.

In the afternoon, she reported the case to Wei Qunshan, who thought it was a very simple case.

But after hearing the details of the case, he frowned and looked solemn.

"There were no traces of the crime left at the scene. The crime was committed during the Spring Festival. It seems that the murderer has strong anti-detection capabilities and must have been carefully prepared."

Cai Xiaojing nodded, He hesitated to speak.

Wei Qunshan stared at her: "Xiaojing, just say what you want to say, don't hide it."

"I just want to ask, do you want to call Luo Rui back?"

"Eh... ..."

He sighed and was about to speak when he heard a knock on the door.

Before he said please come in, the door was pushed open. The person who came was not his secretary, but Wu Dahao from the Municipal Bureau.

This person had a smile on his face, and first glanced at Cai Xiaojing meaningfully: "Xiaojing, long time no see."

Cai Xiaojing squeezed out a stiff smile and greeted: "Hello, detachment 5."< br>
Wu Dahao's smile became even brighter, he nodded slightly, and then looked at Wei Qunshan with a cold face.

"Wei Bureau."

Wei Qunshan sat in the office chair and stared at him with Li Dakang's eyes.

"What's wrong? Detachment 5, why do you have time to come to our branch?"

Wu Dahao didn't care about his attitude, but said with a smile: "I heard that a murder occurred in your jurisdiction. It just so happened that our city The old cases in the bureau are almost cleared, let me see if you need any help?"

Hearing this, Wei Qunshan smiled coldly. "Wu Zhi, you are quite well-informed. Do you know all this?"

"Director Wei, don't get me wrong, I just have good intentions."

"Thank you very much, But this is our branch’s case. If the city bureau wants to intervene, just bring the paperwork and I’ll sign it and hand it over to you for investigation.”

Wu Dahao smiled awkwardly, and he smiled handsomely.

It cannot be denied that Wu Dahao actually looks impatient, and he does not have much malice. If it were not for his special status, many people would not dislike him.

The more Wu Dahao wants to prove his ability, the more alienated others will be from him. Who calls him his brother-in-law?

"Then don't disturb Director Wei."

Wu Dahao walked out of the office, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he waited for Cai Xiaojing to come out. He said in a flattering tone: "Xiao Jing, are you free tonight? Can I treat you to a meal?”

Cai Xiaojing smiled awkwardly: "Wu Zhi, a murder just occurred, and many things have not been done yet. Tonight, I..."

Wu Dahao shrugged: "Okay, but next time, you Don't refuse me again."

"Okay!"

Cai Xiaojing waited for him to leave, then she breathed out.

She knew how Wu Dahao felt about her. Every time she went to the city bureau for a meeting, the criminal police officers in the city bureau looked at her differently.

Wu Dahao has never expressed his feelings to himself, but today he was brave enough to express his attitude to himself. He didn't know where he found the confidence.

Cai Xiaojing felt troublesome just thinking about it. As she walked to the office, she thought about how to deal with Wu Dahao in the future.

When Du Feng came back with his people, it was already very late. Cai Xiaojing did not get off work and kept waiting for news from him.

Looking at his dejected look, she knew that the investigation was making no progress.

There were no witnesses, and road surveillance did not capture the suspect or the suspect vehicle.

The area near the cement factory is deserted and rarely populated. There is a small town one kilometer away, but no one knows the victim.

At this point, we can only hope to find the identity of the victim, otherwise the investigation will have to stop.

It is now nine o'clock in the evening, and most people have already gotten off work. Du Feng is still standing in front of the clue board, analyzing the case, hoping to find a breakthrough.

Cai Xiaojing did not disturb him, but walked outside the police station and took out a stack of letters from the reporting mailbox next to the security room.

After returning to the office, she originally planned to open the letters tomorrow morning, but she was curious if she would receive another anonymous letter with roses painted on it.

So she sat in the chair and began to open the letter.

Sure enough, there was still an anonymous letter, and there was still a red rose painted on the letter paper, and it had just been painted. She wiped it with her thumb, and there was still red paint on the pad of her finger that had not yet dried.

Reminiscent of Wu Dahao's visit in the afternoon, she wondered if it was him who was responsible?

In fact, as long as he took it to the forensics department and asked Zhao Ming to help extract fingerprints, everything would be revealed, but Cai Xiaojing did not do that.

She didn’t want to delay Zhao Ming’s work because of this matter, and if others knew about it, she would be very embarrassed.

Moreover, she hoped... she hoped that the anonymous letter was sent to her by Luo Rui and that the red rose was painted by him. Although she knew this was impossible, she still fantasized about it.

If we really knew the identity of the sender, this fantasy would be gone.

Cai Xiaojing put the anonymous letter into the drawer and then opened other letters.

One of the dark brown envelopes was bulging, and there seemed to be no letter paper inside.

She was a little confused, turned the seal down, and dropped a USB flash drive on the table.

Cai Xiaojing was surprised. She had never received a USB flash drive before.

She opened her laptop and inserted the USB flash drive into the card slot.

After the computer read it, she moved the mouse and found a video in the memory.

Cai Xiaojing opened the video, and as soon as the picture played, she was stunned.

I saw a man lying on a rectangular table. He was naked and his mouth was sealed with tape.

There was a hole in each corner of the table, and his hands and feet were tied with black leather straps. Not only that, his head was also fixed, preventing him from moving even half a minute.

The man was dying and no longer struggling, but his eyes were fixed on the ceiling.

As the video camera moved upward, Cai Xiaojing froze and took a breath of air.

There is a sharp guillotine hanging from the ceiling!

This guillotine is pointed at the man’s head!

There are ropes tied to both ends of the guillotine, and the two ropes go up and are twisted into one.

The camera moved along with the rope, and Cai Xiaojing saw that the other end of the rope was tied to the leg of another table.

Moreover, there is a stool under the table legs, and a special oil lamp is placed on the stool.

The oil lamp was surrounded by a glass cover, and the flame flickered inside.

A flame smaller than a candle is burning the rope!

As soon as the rope breaks, the guillotine will fall from the ceiling.

A man's head will be cut with a guillotine...

Cai Xiaojing covered her mouth and stood up quickly, feeling like there were ants crawling all over her body.

She was about to call someone, but she saw a hand stretched out in the video camera.

This should be the photographer's hand.

That hand placed a timer next to the oil lamp.

The red number on the timer immediately jumped from 12:00 to 11:59.

……

Thanks to Mr. Xuan A for the reward, and thanks to all the gentlemen for your monthly votes! !

Kneel down and thank you!
