Chapter 184 Her name!
After receiving two police guns from the firearms depot, Luo Rui and the other three drove to the scene of the first crime, which was the wasteland next to the cement factory.
At this time, it was already afternoon, the sky was dark, the rain was still falling, the outside of the car glass was blurry, and the visibility was very low.
Weather can easily affect people's mood, especially cloudy or rainy days, which can cause people to feel irritable and have disordered thinking.
The atmosphere in the car was very tense. Firstly, everyone had stayed up all day and night without a good rest. Secondly, everyone was somewhat afraid of the murderer of this serial murder.
The detective should not be afraid of the murderer, but what if the murderer is a perverted murderer?
Not all hunters can face creatures like tigers and black bears.
Su Mingyuan drove the car, with Cai Xiaojing sitting in the passenger seat.
Luo Rui and Chu Yang were sitting in the back row, with a laptop on the latter's lap.
The four of them listened to the sound of rain outside the window, but no one spoke.
Only the wipers swung back and forth, making a constant scraping sound.
As he approached the suburbs, Chu Yang raised his head from the screen and said: "We have issued many missing persons notices. So far, there has been no feedback. The missing person department has not received two notices. Alarm information from the victim’s family.”
Su Mingyuan was driving. Car, smacking his lips: "That shouldn't be the case. The two victims, one male and one female, don't even have any relatives or friends, right?"
Cai Xiaojing asked doubtfully: "Does the murderer only pick people who live alone? ”
Luo Rui was silent and said nothing.
When we arrived at the wasteland where the cement pipes were piled, the rain had stopped. The site was cordoned off and no outsiders were allowed to enter, but there were no police on duty.
Zhao Ming has already inspected the scene of the first crime, and it stands to reason that it needs to be re-explored. However, the second case happened too quickly, and it rained without warning, so no information was obtained at the scene. Timely protection.
The ground is rugged and full of yellow mud, and the shoes make a squeaking sound when stepped on.
Although it rained, the rain was not very heavy and the inside of the cement pipe was still very dry.
Everyone has seen the first video sent from the Municipal Bureau.
The female victim was extremely desperate and helpless when she was pushed into the cement pipe. Her hands and feet were tied with ropes, and her mouth was sealed with tape, making her unable to make a sound.
A wild dog was also pushed in and, in a state of extreme hunger, gnawed at her.
At that time, it was during the Spring Festival, and there was no one near the cement factory. No one would find it here, and no one could save her.
Luo Rui lowered his head and looked at the black blood stains in the cement pipe, feeling a chill in his heart.
The biggest feature of this case is the way the murderer committed the crime.
How did he come up with the idea of killing female victims in this way?
Not only female victims, but also the way of killing male victims is very different. Is there any meaning in this?
Cai Xiaojing walked up to him and asked: "Did you find anything?"
Luo Rui shook his head. Even such a powerful trace inspection expert as Zhao Ming could not find any useful clues, let alone he.
He came here mainly to see the scene with his own eyes and deduce the murderer's behavior pattern.
Not long after, the four people drove away, and an hour later, they arrived at Haihui Middle School.
This place is different from the first crime scene. The scene is closely protected. Even the school security room, which has been abandoned for many years, has been cleaned out by the police and is preparing to be stationed here for a long time.
After all, the second crime scene was the most tragic and had the most physical evidence and clues left behind.
After Luo Rui got off the car, he saw the branch's survey vehicle parked under the teaching building.
After Zhao Ming finished the meeting, he must have rushed to the scene immediately.
His energy and spirit are now unique to Haijiang Branch.
When they arrived on the fifth floor, Luo Rui saw Zhao Ming and two apprentices busy inside. They took the paint and wiped it carefully in the classroom, even every corner of the ceiling.
This is extracting fingerprints.
Zhao Ming was wearing a white chemical protective suit and standing on the ladder. After seeing Luo Rui, he put down the brush and came to the door of the classroom.
Luo Rui immediately asked: "Are there any clues?"
Zhao Ming took off the mask and replied: "There are many, it depends on whether you can use them."
"Oh?"
Zhao Ming stepped outside the corridor: "Luo Rui, let me tell you , Although this murderer has strong counter-investigation capabilities, he doesn’t care about leaving clues at the scene.”
Luo Rui. His eyes widened: "What do you mean?"
Zhao Ming pondered: "I mean he is not afraid that you will find him... I extracted a lot of physical evidence, but he did not take it away, but Randomly discarded things, such as many tools he used, pliers, screwdrivers, wires, etc..."
"There are fingerprints of the murderer on it?"
Zhao Ming shook his head: "There are no fingerprints, but these things are newly bought. Team Du is sending people to find the source of these things. As long as the buyer is found, it may be possible The murderer will be found.
Furthermore, in terms of traces, the second victim has been in this classroom since he was kidnapped. I extracted urine and feces, both from a week ago. . In other words, the murderer has appeared around here many times. Through interviews, witnesses may be found."
Luo Rui narrowed his eyes slightly and looked above Zhao Ming's head: "Maybe from It might be faster to look at it from another angle!"
Zhao Ming took two steps back, then looked up along his line of sight, and saw a nameplate posted on the lintel of the classroom. : Class 1, Grade 3.
in the car.
Chu Yang quickly operated the computer. After clicking on the computer page, he browsed the text and said: "The specific time for the relocation of Haihui Middle School was eleven years ago, that is, during the summer vacation of 1996. During the period.
The school is divided into junior high school and high school. At first, the school's student population was not very good, but starting from 1990, the enrollment rate increased year by year
especially in 1994. In 2017, the admission rate of Haihui Middle School’s high school division climbed directly to second place in the city, and several students were admitted to the highest schools. Therefore, the school’s enrollment is increasing, and parents are sending their children to this school. .
When it was relocated in 1996, there were more than 5,000 students and faculty. Because Tianhua District had preferential policies, the new school was built on the outskirts of Tianhua District. ”
There are three districts in Guangxing City. Haizhu District is the most prosperous, with the city center and the port here; Tianhua District is in the north, relatively backward, and then there is the Linshui District in the south of the city, which is the old city.
Chu Yang then explained: "The current principal of Haihui Middle School is called Huo Zhongxin. Eleven years ago, he was the head teacher of Class 1, Grade 3. No information can be found online. I'm afraid I have to go to the school to actually understand the situation. , to know the identities.”
Since the missing persons department could not find the identity information of the two victims, Luo Rui wondered whether the two cases here were related to Haihui Middle School?
The second victim was trapped in the classroom of Grade 31 for a week and also died in the classroom.
Did the murderer simply choose an abandoned school as the location to commit the crime, or is there some connection there?
Luo Rui and four others rushed to the gate of Haihui Middle School and found that it was time for school to end. Students wearing blue and white stripes walked out of the gate with schoolbags on their backs, showing their vitality in groups.
Looking at the majestic gate and teaching building, it is difficult to imagine the dilapidation and desolation of the old school site.
Chu Yang went to the security room to chat for a while, and when he came out, an old security guard took them straight to the faculty and staff's office.
Not long after, in the principal’s office.
Huo Zhongxin walked out of the desk and raised the frames of his glasses.
"Are you a criminal police officer from the Municipal Bureau?"
Cai Xiaojing took out her ID and showed it to him: "No, we are from the Haijiang Branch."
"Haijiang Branch? What kind of case do you have across districts? Are you here to do it? "
As the principal of a school, Huo Zhongxin obviously knows the police department very well. He always looks for loopholes when he opens his mouth. He is vigilant. It seems that he has dealt with the police a lot.
But think about it, Haihui Middle School has 6,000 to 7,000 students and is the only prestigious school in Guangxing City. The students are under great pressure and there will be one or two criminal incidents every year. This is normal.
Cai Xiaojing did not answer his question, but explained directly: "There are two cases that I hope you can cooperate with."
Huo Zhongxin was startled: "Two cases?"
Cai Xiaojing didn't say anything, just nodded silently.
Huo Zhongxin pointed to the guest sofa. After Luo Rui and the other two sat down, he said, "There is no problem with cooperation, but our area has always been under the jurisdiction of Tianhua Branch. Your criminal police from Haijiang Branch are here. , I don’t understand this.”
Luo Rui squinted and looked at him: “Eleven years ago, your school was in Haijiang District.”
After saying this, Huo Zhongxin raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to investigate what happened at that time?"
Luo Rui quickly asked: "What happened at that time?"
Huo CITIC smiled awkwardly: "It's okay. If you have anything to do, just ask."
" Okay!" Luo Rui looked at him deeply: "Principal Huo, we are here to ask your school to help you find out if this person has studied in your school."
Luo Rui took a photo of the second male victim. As for the female victim, her face was gone and her appearance had yet to be restored.
But even the photos of the male victim were cut out from the video and then printed.
The light in the picture is very dim, and it is a close-up of the victim's face lying on his back. In addition, he weighs 160 kilograms, and the layers of flesh on his face are stacked and squeezed together. It is almost impossible to see the nose and Eye.
But Luo Rui and the others had no choice. They only had this photo that was relatively clear and would not reveal any information about the case.
Huo Zhongxin took the handed photo, glanced at it, and asked: "What is his name?"
"This is exactly what we want to know!"
Huo Zhongxin was puzzled: "This is difficult to check. Are you sure he attended our school?"
Luo Rui answered honestly: "We are not sure, so I came to ask you, please." You think of a way."
Huo Zhongxin returned the photo to him and refused: "I'm sorry, I really can't check. I can't see the person's face clearly, and they are all adults. I How can we check?"
Luo Rui didn't take the photo, he frowned: "As long as we compare the graduation photos from previous years, we should be able to find it."
"You just found it. It was said that this person studied in our school eleven years ago, but after the school moved, many things were lost, including graduation photos and documents. ”
Luo Rui had no choice but to take the photo.
"Okay, the last question, I hope Principal Huo can tell me."
"What problem?"
"Before the school was moved, your junior high school class one, What is the name of each class teacher?”
Huo Zhongxin’s pupils narrowed: “Why are you asking this?”
"Since you don't know, then I have to ask them! Principal Huo, let me tell you, we are investigating a criminal case, and we hope you can keep it secret. If it is revealed..."
...
< br>After coming out of the principal's office, it was already dark.
After getting on the bus, Luo Rui and the others did not rush back to the Haijiang Branch, but chose to visit.
Huo Zhongxin told them two names. These two were the head teachers of the Grade 1 Class of 1994 and 1995 respectively. This was already a very helpless investigation. The two victims were 24 and 25 years old respectively. Time went back eleven years. They were only 13 and 14 years old at that time, not even in their third year of junior high school. age.
The reason why Luo Rui found these two class teachers was to find out if there was any reason why the murderer chose the classroom of Class 1, Grade 3, as the place to commit the crime.
Sure enough, after an interview, there were no clues. Even the photos of the victims that Luo Rui took out were not recognized by the two head teachers.
This road has become a dead end.
It was already late at night when we returned to Haijiang Branch, and everyone was very tired.
After a day of investigation, nothing was found, which was really shocking.
The Municipal Bureau and Haijiang Branch have set up a joint investigation team, with Du Feng serving as the operational commander. When he came back, he was dejected and silent.
He did not go home or go back to his office. Instead, he came to Cai Xiaojing's office, lying on the guest sofa, staring at the ceiling blankly.
Not only him, but also Luo Rui and Cai Xiaojing looked confused.
Cai Xiaojing stared at the computer, motionless. Luo Rui looked at the potted plants on the table. When he was tired, he closed his eyes and let his mind go.
A huge feeling of powerlessness spread throughout Haijiang Branch.
As Zhao Ming said, there is a lot of physical evidence, but investigations are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and exact clues cannot be found overnight.
But there is still a question in everyone's mind: Will there be a third case?
If a third case occurs and the murderer cannot be caught, then the Haijiang Branch will be a big joke.
When it was almost early in the morning, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open, and Du Feng, who was already snoring, was startled.
Chu Yang walked in and said hurriedly: "There is news from the Missing Department. Someone reported that their daughter was missing. After comparing the photos, the figure and age match the first victim!"
It was like a huge stone falling in. The calm lake surface stirred up huge waves.
Luo Rui and Cai Xiaojing stood up immediately, and Du Feng also stood up quickly.
A group of people hurried downstairs and came to the Missing Section. The female police officer on duty told them that the police station in the jurisdiction where the missing information was uploaded was in Haijiang District, and the person who made the report was at the police station.
Luo Rui and the other two hurriedly drove there. Du Feng also wanted to go, but the task force had many things to do and the investigation would be intensified tomorrow. He had no choice but to hold back his excitement and continue to sleep on the sofa. .
One o'clock in the morning.
Luo Rui and the others met the parents of the female victim at the police station.
Both of them are in their fifties, from rural areas, and have little education.
They were sitting on the bench, looking lonely and panicked.
The police officer on duty handed a photo to Cai Xiaojing, and Luo Rui also hurried over to take a look.
The woman in the photo is not very beautiful, and may not necessarily be the female victim, because the victim's face is missing, but judging from the figure alone, the two do look similar.
Luo Rui poured two cups of warm water from the water dispenser, walked to the girl's parents, and handed it to them.
"Uncle, aunt, please drink water."
When they saw Luo Rui at first glance, neither of them answered. After all, Luo Rui was not wearing a police uniform, and he was not actually a policeman.
At this time, Cai Xiaojing came over and showed her ID to explain their identities.
When they heard it was a criminal police officer, both of them were frightened.
"My daughter, is something really going to happen?"
The person who spoke was the girl's father. His hair had turned white due to years of hard work.
Cai Xiaojing has just asked the police that the missing girl’s name is Peng Li and her father’s name is Peng An.
Luo Rui handed two water glasses to them, then dragged a chair over and sat across from them.
"We are here simply to ask if your daughter will be okay. We don't know yet, but we hope that she is okay!"
In fact, this is very false and hypocritical. , to put it cruelly, the police now hope that the missing girl is a female victim. After all, this is the most important key point of the case.
If the identity information of the two victims cannot be found and the progress of the case is at a dead end, then the police will really be a joke.
Peng An took a breath and nodded. His wife was relatively weak, lowered her head and did not speak, but her tears never stopped.
Luo Rui asked: "Your daughter's name is Peng Li?"
"Yes!"
"When did she disappear?"
Peng An hesitated: "We don't know this very well. She lives alone in the provincial capital and hasn't been with us for a long time. I contacted her, and I thought she would go home for the Spring Festival a year ago, but she called and said she wouldn't be back, saying she would come back after the Spring Festival.
But now, she has already. It's almost February and she hasn't come back. Her mother and I were worried, so we came to the provincial capital to look for her. Unexpectedly, there was no one where she lived, and the neighbors said they hadn't seen her for a long time, so we went Call the police immediately. "
Upon hearing this, Luo Rui's heart sank. He and Cai Xiaojing looked at each other. What Peng An said coincided with the death time of the female victim.
"When was the last time she spoke to you? On what day of the month?"
Peng An took out his mobile phone from the mobile phone case hanging on his waist. It was a no-name tablet phone.
After he retrieved the call records, he showed them to Luo Rui.
"February 4th?"
Peng An replied: "Yes. After that during the Spring Festival, I called her several times, but she didn't answer."
Luo Rui has seen the call records. It is true that Peng An called his daughter several times, but no one answered.
Now, there is reason to believe that the missing girl is most likely the first victim!
The reason why her family did not call the police in time was because her parents were in the countryside, and the victim had said in advance that she would not go home during the Spring Festival. This is why the police only got the missing information now.
Actually, it’s too early. It’s only been two days since the murder. Just because the second case happened too fast and too brutally, Luo Rui and others wanted to solve the case and catch the murderer. , so he seemed more anxious.
Even if her parents called the police on the day Peng Li disappeared, the police would not use too many resources to investigate. At most, they would just check surveillance.
Compared with murder cases, disappearance cases require far fewer resources and police force.
Peng Li's rental house is just two kilometers away from the police station. It is a seven-story building facing the street. There are food stalls and canteens on both sides of the street.
It is already early in the morning, and only the late-night barbecue stall is still open, but because of the cold weather, there are only a few customers.
Judging from the environment here, it is indeed not very good. Sewage flows across the streets, and the people who live here are also migrant workers in the city.
There is a small alley behind the building. If you go in, you know what you will encounter without even thinking about it.
Zhao Ming had already learned the news in advance. At this time, he and his apprentice were standing downstairs, holding the survey box in their hands.
Although he stayed up for a day and two nights, Zhao Ming did not look tired on his face, but his two apprentices were different. They yawned and smoked cigarettes to dispel the extreme fatigue and fatigue.
Luo Rui and Cai Xiaojing nodded to him, Zhao Ming pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
Peng An and his wife led the way, and the group walked up the dark corridor.
Out of professional habit, Cai Xiaojing has been checking the surveillance cameras around her, but in this era, surveillance has not been widely popularized.
In this place, there is only one monitoring device outside the building.
The house Peng Li rents is on the seventh floor. There are four households on the seventh floor.
Peng An took out the key from his pocket. He opened room 404, then pushed the door open. When he was about to go in, Zhao Ming immediately stopped him.
"You are standing outside the house."
Peng An frowned: "What are you doing? This is my daughter's house..."
Luo Rui quickly comforted him: "Don't be angry. This is a trace inspection by our bureau. He needs to go in and extract fingerprints and hair. If you want to find your daughter, you can only rely on them!
Yes Except for you and your wife, no one has entered this room?"
Peng An was relieved when he heard this, and he shook his head: "Only us have entered."
Luo Rui nodded, he and Cai Xiaojing were also standing outside.
Zhao Ming turned on the light in the entrance hall, and the lights in the room suddenly lit up, slightly dazzling.
Luo Rui saw Zhao Ming take out the tools from the survey, then separate from his apprentice, and he walked into the bathroom next to him.
Not long after, Zhao Ming came out wearing a mask and holding a fingerprint sticker in his hand. He nodded slightly to Luo Rui and Cai Xiaojing.
Without opening a word, the two of them understood that the first victim was indeed Peng Li!
Luo Rui took a breath, the case finally came to a head.
Although I am very sorry for the two old people in front of me, the truth is so cruel.
Zhao Ming said: "You can come in, but you can only stay in the living room."
Luo Rui nodded, and the group stepped in cautiously.
After entering, he saw two linen bags placed by the kitchen door, containing fruits and vegetables, and a basket containing eggs.
At first glance, one can tell that Peng An and his wife brought it to their daughter from the countryside, but their daughter is already dead!
Now, I dare not tell them the details, at least until Zhao Ming completes the investigation.
At this time, Cai Xiaojing suddenly pushed Luo Rui.
"What's wrong?"
Cai Xiaojing pursed her lips in front of the TV. After Luo Rui looked over, he felt that all the blood in his body froze.
I saw a photo frame standing on the counter under the TV, and the owner of the photo was none other than Peng Li.
Facing the camera, she smiled brightly, but... the wild dog that had eaten her was squatting at her feet.
That was not a wild dog, but a domestic dog that she fed!
Will a domesticated dog attack and bite its owner when it is extremely hungry?
