Chapter 226 Free Bird
On May 3, 2004, it rained, rained continuously.
This kind of weather is the most suitable for killing people.
The reason why rainy days are suitable for committing crimes is that all evidence will be washed away by the rain. As long as I am careful, no one can catch me, just like the previous two times.
A few months ago, I had chosen my partner, Kuang Mei, who was from my schoolmate.
She is not in the same class as me, but she is pretty and has a nice neck.
I like a woman’s neck to be strangled with a rope. That feeling is more exciting than anything else.
Every night after class, I would follow Kuang Mei, looking for opportunities to strike, but she always took the bus home directly, so I didn’t dare to strike.
Until the night of July 1st, I was squatting downstairs in their house. I originally planned to go home, but I saw her go out and take the No. 6 bus.
I don’t know where she is going, but just follow her.
But as the bus traveled farther and farther, the only passengers on the bus were me and Kuang Mei, and of course, the bus driver.
If I do it tonight, I will probably be recognized.
So, I got off the bus at Xingfu Road in the northern suburbs, which was the penultimate stop.
Then I ran all the way, chasing the bus in the rain.
Because of this, it can be proved that I got off the bus halfway. Afterwards, when the police trace it, they will not be suspicious of me.
However, the bus did not follow the established route at all, but drove directly past the bus station.
Half an hour later, I saw the bus stopped at the edge of a hillside.
I walked around from the back of the bus and saw the bus driver raping Kuang Mei.
Kuang Mei struggled hard and resisted desperately. The driver stood up and kicked her in the head.
But Kuang Mei still refused, so the driver hit her harder and harder.
I kept watching from the side until the driver committed violence and found that Kuang Mei's body had not moved.
This bitch was in a panic. He thought no one saw him and didn’t know that I witnessed his murder.
The bus kept driving forward, and I kept chasing it.
But it didn’t last long, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to catch up. Five minutes later, the bus drove into an abandoned botanical garden.
I saw the driver carry Kuang Mei’s body out of the car and throw it into the waste well of the botanical garden.
I picked up the butterfly hairpin on the bus, and I also took the driver’s water glass.
This is a prank, because I want to see how panicked he would be if someone caught him committing murder.
Since then, I have occasionally taken this bus and always observed the driver’s expression.
However, this man is also very powerful and has never run away. Until now, he is still driving the No. 6 bus, but he has replaced the thermos cup with a new one.
I don’t know if he has continued to kill people in the past few years...
In the interrogation room, Lan Hanwen calmly narrated the incident without any wavering in his tone.
Luo Rui wanted to ask if this was his hallucination. After all, Lan Hanwen had been sick and hospitalized since then. This was a fact, and the doctor also had a diagnosis.
In other words, Lan Hanwen killed the person, but everything he said was just imagined out of thin air.
But it’s easy to prove.
As long as we find the driver and the abandoned well in the botanical garden, everything will be revealed.
Lan Hanwen raised his head, his eyes had given up struggling, and he nodded heavily.
"I admit that I killed Wang Jialing. At that time, I was not mentally ill."
Huh...
Hearing this, Luo Rui confided that he had been depressed for a long time. of turbidity.
Jiang Gang, who was behind him, couldn't help but stand up, waved his fist in the air, and then slapped Luo Rui's shoulder hard with his right hand.
Li Nong also leaned back and his whole body became relaxed.
As of now, although the case has not come to an end, the murderer of Wang Jialing has been captured!
......
Luo Rui threw the pen in his hand on the table, pushed open the door of the interrogation room, and strode out, followed closely by Li Nong and Jiang Gang.
Outside the detention center, it was already dawn, and the morning glow rose in the eastern sky.
A large number of reporters gathered outside the door, holding guns and cannons in their hands. Zhou Xia and her father stood at the front with anxious expressions.
Various TV stations in Haidong Province took turns broadcasting the investigation operations of the Hoining City Police Department.
Rainy Night Murderer, the sensational title stimulated the nerves of the general public.
Only then did Zhou Xia know why the police officer named Luo Rui asked herself whether she had a date with Lan Hanwen on a rainy day.
It turns out that Lan Hanwen was not only involved in Wang Jialing's murder, but also in several missing girl cases in Huining City, which was also related to him.
Zhou Xia was desperate and desperately needed to know the truth and whether the man she loved was a murderous demon.
The door of the detention center was opened, and Luo Rui was the first to walk out, followed by Li Nong, Jiang Gang and others.
The reporters rushed forward and the police at the detention center tried their best to stop them.
One of the reporters shouted: "Are you the police who organized the Rainy Night Murderer? I have a few questions that I would like to ask."
Another reporter knew Li Nong and also Shouted: "Captain Li, is Lan Hanwen the real murderer?"
...
Li Nong ignored the reporters and walked with Luo Rui to the police car parked on the roadside.
The police maintaining order advised: "Stop pushing any further. The case is still under investigation and the investigators will not be interviewed!"
After Zhou Xia saw Luo Rui , while the police were not paying attention, they ran over.
Luo Rui was about to get in the car. When he saw her, he held the car door with one hand and stared at her.
Zhou Xia's eyes were red and swollen, her hair was disheveled, and she no longer looked like a strong woman.
Zhou Xia gasped and asked, "Did he do it?"
According to the rules, Luo Rui should not reveal the facts of the case, but he still nodded slightly and got into the car. inside.
The police car went along the road in the direction of Huining City.
Luo Rui was sitting in the passenger seat. Through the steering mirror, he saw Zhou Xia's body unable to hold up, squatting on the side of the road, crying.
……
Huining City.
Lou Yong parked the bus at the stop and opened the front door.
It is now 7:30 in the morning, which is during the morning rush hour. There are many people getting on the bus, including office workers, students, and old men and women going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.
After working as a bus driver for so many years, he was already tired and wanted to change his job.
But at the age of fifty-eight, he has reached retirement age, so what can he do?
People live on a fixed trajectory, just like the walking zombies.
Life always lacks passion.
A few young men came up from the front door, carrying black men's bags across their bodies.
He glanced at the two people and then closed the bus door.
After starting the car, he glanced at the young man standing in front of the door and said, "Don't stand in front. There are seats in the back. If you block the front, how will others get in the car?"
The young man was embarrassed. He smiled and took a few steps back, right behind his seat.
In 2008, the bus driver's seat had no protective facilities, and passengers could grab the steering wheel with one hand.
Lou Yong saw that the young man was not very sensible, so he didn’t care anymore.
The bus drove ricketyly on the city road. After a while, it arrived at the next stop, but there was no one on the platform.
Lou Yong had no choice but to drive over without stopping.
Usually, this platform is used by many passengers, but today it was strange.
Then he opened the driver's seat window and spit out the window, just in time to catch a glimpse of the passing police car.
He quickly retracted his head. Every time he saw a police car, he would panic.
This panic continues to this day.
At the next stop, the bus stopped slowly. Some people got off the bus, but not many people got on. There were two more sturdy young men.
There are several communities on the platform here. If it were normal, the bus would be packed with passengers when it arrived here.
Lou Yong felt something was wrong, but in this world, unusual things happened every day.
When he thought about it, he felt relieved.
The terminus of bus No. 6 is at the bus station in the northern suburbs.
When they arrived at the place, Lou Yong parked the car in the parking space.
There is a special resting place for bus drivers at the station, but during the morning rush hour, he can rest for at most ten minutes before he has to continue on the next bus.
Lou Yong moved his body, then pulled out the key and stood up.
He saw many people standing in front of the bus, all of whom were his colleagues, and he wanted to go down and say hello.
When he left the driver's seat, he saw that the young men before him did not get out of the car, but walked straight over.
"You..."
Before he finished speaking, he was held down by these people.
“Don’t move, we are the police!”
“You have committed a crime!”
Lou Yong’s hands were pulled behind him, and someone was holding him down. His head, the saliva in his mouth fell down from the corners of his mouth...
After he was handcuffed, one of them asked loudly: "What's your name!"
"Lou... Lou Yong!"
Lou Yong turned his head and looked at the bus. behind.
Four years ago, that girl died there...
......
After the person was caught, Deng Zhuo rushed to the scene as soon as possible. He was also accompanied by the director of the branch and the publicity police from the bureau. Many reporters were also called, but they were mainly local reporters. Compared with each other, There is a tacit understanding and no random reporting.
Three girls were killed, and Kuang Mei’s whereabouts were the clearest, which gave Deng Zhuo some confidence.
Lou Yong was detained in a room at the station, guarded by several policemen.
Bus No. 6 was also designated as a murder scene, and a cordon was set up around it.
But it has been four years since the incident, and the traces at the scene may have been cleaned up long ago. And with so many passengers every day, it may be difficult to extract any useful evidence, but if some trace evidence can be extracted, , that’s best.
If that doesn't work, then immediately identify the scene where the body was dumped. This is the most direct evidence.
The abandoned well is located in the botanical garden, but it has been deserted for a long time and almost no one comes here. Several policemen led the way, and Lou Yong was escorted forward.
Reporters trotted to the side, shouldering the camera and following.
The crowd near the station also gathered around, but they all stood on the outside.
After walking for more than twenty minutes, I finally found the well near the innermost part of the botanical garden, next to the slope.
There are weeds growing around the mouth of the well. If we were not close, we would not be able to find it.
Moreover, the well mouth was covered by a big stone, and the stone was covered with moss.
Deng Zhuo walked to the back and grabbed Lou Yong's shoulders: "Did the person be thrown into this well?"
Lou Yong had confessed before and did not do anything. resistance.
The police took him directly to the scene of dumping the body without questioning him, so it was even less possible for him to lie.
He nodded: "Yes, the girl is down there."
Hearing this, the policemen immediately removed the stones and then used flashlights to shine down, but the well was dark. It was so dark that you couldn't see anything, and a stale smell hit your nose.
The accompanying forensic doctor began to put on equipment, and then used a rope to drop himself.
There is a lot of silt in the well, waist deep.
The forensic doctor frowned and groped in the mud with both hands. After a while, he took out a schoolbag from the mud. Putting aside the mud on it, the color of the schoolbag was blue.
Then, he fished out a calf bone from the mud...
...
After the police car got off the highway, Li Nong received a call. He turned his head, He looked at Luo Rui and said, "Kuang Mei's body has been found, just under the abandoned well in the botanical garden."
Luo Rui exhaled and nodded.
"Lan Hanwen didn't lie. Kuang Mei was indeed killed by the bus driver."
Luo Rui shook his head: "Kuang Mei is destined to not escape. If the bus driver did not commit the crime, he would have to kill him. "
Qi Lei said while driving: "Then Kuang Mei really ran away from home, and then was killed like this. Are the two guys targeting her? "
Li Nong replied: "It should be, otherwise how can we explain that she brought all her pocket money with her, but we can't control this matter, the Daning branch will investigate. "
Qi Lei sighed: "It's really unlucky and pitiful."
Luo Rui looked out the car window and said nothing.
Li Nong poked his shoulder and said, "Don't be so frustrated? You have taken such a difficult case, aren't you happy?"
Luo Rui reluctantly said A smile came: "I have never encountered such a case. In the past, I thought that just catching the criminal would be enough!"
Li Nong said with deep feeling: "I thought so when I first joined the police force. But later, as the law became more and more perfect, it does not mean that everything will be fine once the person is caught.
In recent years, the most troublesome thing is not that the person cannot be caught, but that the murderer refuses to admit the murder.
When the body cannot be found, it is difficult for the procuratorate to prosecute. Some cases are delayed for many years! Some criminals force themselves to live five more years! "
"So, how long has it been since the K301 robbery and murder case to this serial murder case? In less than half a month, Luo Rui, if it weren't for you, the bodies of these three girls might never be seen again.
Don’t be depressed, you know? You have created miracles. "
Qi Lei also echoed: "Yes, Captain Luo, this case is the most complicated case that I, Old Qi, have encountered since I joined the police! Think about it, from the K301 train robbery and murder case, to the Huining City girl’s disappearance and murder case, and finally, the bus driver killed Kuang Mei four years ago, think about it, no matter which link is missing, the truth may always be buried In the dust. ”
Facing the comfort from the two people, Luo Rui forced out a smile.
"Don't worry about me, I'm just thinking, how can someone in this world take away other people's lives so easily."
Li Nong exhaled, took out the Chinese cigarette, and dispersed. One stick.
"There are ten percent of criminals in this world, and our police exist for these ten percent of people. It is said that humans are more evil than animals, but that is not necessarily the case..."< br>
He rolled down the window, lit the cigarette and took a drag.
"While I have time, let me tell you a story. One year, I went to a famous mountain and river in the southwest. I went with my wife and children. There were many monkeys on the mountain for tourists. Watch.
If you want to see the monkeys, the monkeys are not allowed to you for free. The monkeys are not willing and the staff of the scenic area are not satisfied. Of course, you have to buy something.
I bought some bananas and asked my son to feed them.
It is not the peak tourist season and there are not many tourists.
At that time, I saw a scene that I can’t forget to this day, so much so that my son had nightmares for a long time after he came back.
We saw a female monkey holding something in her hand and jumping in front of me. I was startled and opened my eyes wide. Guess what I saw? ”
Qi Lei praised: "It's definitely not a good thing."
Li Nong blew out a puff of smoke and said: "The mother monkey is holding the body of her child, and the little monkey was just born. He was killed by her and the body was dried."
Qi Lei blinked and didn't believe it: "Why does the female monkey do this even if the tiger is poisonous?"
“The tour guide told us that the female monkey kills her children just to be miserable and to win the sympathy of tourists so that she can get more food.”
Li Nong continued Said: "If human beings are not bound by law and morality, things like this will definitely happen. This is what our police should do!"
"But even with the constraints of the law, crimes still happen every day." Luo Rui murmured.
Half an hour later, the police car drove all the way to the back of a community in Huining City.
Qi Lei parked his car next to the roadside, and the group walked straight forward through the green belt.
On the slope in the distance, there were many people standing, and two police dogs squatted quietly on the side.
Chen Hao turned around. Because the sun was dazzling, he raised his hand to his eyebrows and waved to Luo Rui.
Li Nong took a step forward, ran over, and held Chen Hao's hand.
The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, the green ghost Chen Hao is the criminal police detachment leader that Li Nong regards as his idol.
After the two parties exchanged pleasantries, Luo Rui looked at the wasteland below the slope.
In the wasteland, several policemen holding shovels were taking turns digging out the soil. Zhao Ming, wearing latex gloves, stood beside him, staring at the ground.
Chen Hao patted Luo Rui on the shoulder: "Fortunately you asked Lan Hanwen to speak, otherwise we would never have found this girl's body."
"Tian Panpan."
Chen Hao frowned: "What?"
Luo Rui said: "The girl's name is Tian Panpan."
"I Got it." Chen Hao nodded.
Luo Rui looked around and asked, "I didn't see any maple trees here."
"There are no maple trees. Didn't I just say that? Fortunately, you let Lan Hanwen speak.
On the day of the incident, it rained heavily. Huining City was seriously flooded. The maple leaves must have followed the direction of the rain. Lan Hanwen just happened to step on the soles of his shoes when the rain hit the street. Besides, maple trees are usually planted in cities and in the wilderness. Where can there be such a tree outside?"
Li Nong immediately flattered him and said: "Chen Zhiyingming, you have thought of this."
Chen Hao curled his lips and said: "On. Your subordinate has the strongest ability to solve crimes."
He looked at Luo Rui, who had already walked down the slope.
Luo Rui nodded to Zhao Ming, and then said to a policeman: "You take a break, I'll do it."
He took the shovel and started digging.
Five years!
It has been five years since 15-year-old Tian Panpan was buried here. Weeds and tree roots have long been growing in the soil, and their roots are intertwined, like a large net.
Luo Rui waved the shovel vigorously, sweating profusely.
After digging two inches down, a swarm of insects immediately emerged from the mud.
Luo Rui quickly stopped, and Zhao Ming also gestured to stop the police from digging deeper.
Insects are very sensitive to corpses and blood. Generally, as soon as a murder occurs, even within a few minutes, insects will smell the smell and lay eggs on the corpse. If a corpse is abandoned in the wild, the first insects to arrive are ants. Ants only eat fresh corpse flesh and do not eat rotting corpse flesh that is infested with maggots.
If there are insects, there is no doubt that there must be corpses buried underneath.
Zhao Ming and his apprentice took over and began to catch insects, which can then be used to determine the time of death and the state of the body at the time of death.
Burying a body is a very hard job. It is difficult to bury the body very deep. The deeper you dig, the harder the soil becomes.
It would be even more difficult if a single person committed the crime.
A common plot in movies and TV dramas is that the murderer holds a gun and forces the victim to dig a hole. After digging the hole, he shoots the victim to collapse, and then he can easily bury the victim.
Burying soil is also a technical job, because no matter how you backfill the excavated soil, excess soil will come out.
So in many cases, it is necessary to throw the excess soil to other places to prevent a bag of soil from appearing where the body is buried.
You know, thousands of years ago, the tomb of Genghis Khan has not yet been found. After his coffin was buried, his warriors drove thousands of horses, trampled on his tomb, and then scattered grass seeds. In the spring, no one could find his resting place, and it remains a mystery to this day.
Lan Hanwen obviously also knew what to pay attention to when burying corpses, so he dug neither deep nor shallow. If it was shallow, it might be picked out by wild dogs or washed out by rain. If it was too deep, his own body would be buried. I can't bear it physically.
Three feet, three feet and a little deeper is fine.
Tian Panpan’s body was finally found. The first thing that was exposed was her head, and then her feet.
Of course, her body had long since decomposed.
Luo Rui stood in the distance with a shovel, watching Zhao Ming dig out the soil bit by bit.
Heart-piercing cries came from the slope.
The wind carries the cry far, far away.
Tian Panpan disappeared five hundred meters away from her home, less than half a kilometer away from where she was buried.
Her parents came over after hearing the news, knelt on the ground, and kept saying sorry, sorry.
No one could have imagined that Tian Panpan, who had been missing for five years, would be buried near his home.
But compared to Kuang Mei and Tian Panpan, Yan Xiao has still not been found.
Huining City organized a large amount of manpower and material resources and searched the river for a whole week, but still could not recover her bones.
This river is very close to Linjiang. Everyone speculates that the floods a few years ago may have washed her bones to Linjiang, which is wider and faster.
The bodies of Kuang Mei and Tian Panpan were returned to their parents, and their souls returned.
However, the police still did not find Yan Xiao’s body.
Luo Rui's No. 7 Squadron also participated in the search, but after a long time, no results were found.
In the end, everyone decided to give up.
The speedboat went down the river, and a bird flew across the sparkling water.
Luo Rui raised the camera hanging around his neck and took a photo.
That is a free bird...
Thanks to kkken for the tip.
Thanks to lhrgxf for the reward.
Thank you to those who voted monthly.
Kneel down and thank you.
