238. Chapter 237 Prisoner


Chapter 237 Prison

The night wind seemed to be blowing straight down from the starry sky, pouring into the clothes, sending chills down the spine.

The rustling around the temple is so empty and lonely that it feels even more silent when there is sound.

The vegetable garden is in the flat land in the southeast, about a football field away from the temple. If Zhao Zhuer hadn't confessed, there would have been no hope of finding the cellar, but it would have been several days late.

But in the next few days, the life or death of the two women locked up in the cellar may be uncertain.

When a group of people walked into the shack, they saw a wooden door on the ground with three locks hanging on it.

This cellar was originally used to store oranges, but it was abandoned long ago and was used to imprison people.

Luo Rui held a flashlight in his hand, looked behind him and said, "Bring the hydraulic pliers over here and cut off the lock."

Fang Yonghui nodded and immediately followed the instructions.

There were many people standing around the cellar. In addition to Li Nong and his gang, there were also Cai Xiaojing and Zhao Ming, who were waiting to inspect the site.

Because there was a woman locked down below, two doctors and nurses were also called.

The policeman carrying the camera pointed the lens at the cellar, and then nodded to Fang Yonghui.

"Then I'll cut it!"

Fang Yonghui stuck one end of the hydraulic pliers into the lock, and with a force, the lock fell to the wooden board.

After cutting off the three locks, Yang Bo quickly lifted up the heavy wooden board and shined several flashlights on it.

Suddenly, a smell and heat came out of the cellar.

The group couldn't help but cover their noses.

The halo of the flashlight first illuminated a woman's thigh, and then her face. She was leaning against a basket made of bamboo strips, not knowing whether she was dead or alive.

The other woman could still move, but when she suddenly saw the dazzling light, she immediately crawled inside, trembling with fear, like a frightened animal.

Both women were naked, with messy hair. In the pale light, they were extremely shocking.

Cai Xiaojing quickly comforted her: "Don't be afraid, we are the police, we are here to save you!"

There was no echo in the cellar, followed by weak crying, as if trying to suppress her emotions.

Cai Xiaojing continued to shout inside: "Don't be afraid, we are really the police. We will come down immediately and take you out."

Yang Bo and Fang Yonghui quickly assembled a metal ladder and reached down. When it happened, it just touched the soft ground.

Cai Xiaojing took a policewoman down the ladder together.

Looking from top to bottom, the area in the cellar is very large, estimated to be sixty square meters.

Li Nong sighed and turned his eyes to the side, unable to bear to look directly.

"What a crime. What kind of profession does this monk practice? He robs, kills, and rapes women in this temple!"

Qi Lei said: "According to Zhao Zhuer's confession, these two A woman also went camping in Fengyashan Mountain A travel companion who was arrested more than a month ago, the two brothers Zhao Dong and Zhao Qiang come to the temple almost every day..."

He didn't say the second part of the sentence, but everyone understood it tacitly. He is a bachelor and has a strong need for women.

And in the first murder, these two people were also the principal culprits.

The murder of a man and two women was caused by them, and the two skeletal female corpses were also violated by them during their lifetime.

As for the source of the gun, it was snatched from two poachers when they committed the second murder. Later, they changed the way they committed crimes and used guns to kill people.

Lao Bao asked on the side: "According to what you said, this monk was not involved?"

Qi Lei curled his lips: "Why not? The most cruel one is this monk, he is so stupid Things are really not people. Forget it, people are already dead

Zhao Zhuer and Niu Daming were slightly better. Both of them were brainwashed and followed in robbery and murder in order to build a golden statue of Bodhisattva in the temple.

Zhao Zhuer was brought in by his grandfather. Because he failed in the college entrance examination, his empty spirit had no place to rest. Niu Daming himself had cancer, and he recovered after undergoing chemotherapy. The old man felt that it was the Bodhisattva who saved him, so He became more and more superstitious and participated in it. Among the believers, there is a saying, what is it called? "

"Follow your wish. Luo Rui replied leisurely, "If your prayers are answered by the Bodhisattva, you have to do things for the Bodhisattva." "

Li Nong smacked his lips: "Isn't this just a naked transaction? "

Qi Lei took over: "It's true, otherwise how can we explain the incense money? Bodhisattvas and Buddhas also need money and are all businessmen. ”

As he spoke, a woman climbed out of the ladder, wearing a green military coat.

Two nurses in white coats quickly stepped forward to support her.

Then came the second woman. She was unconscious. Cai Xiaojing tried her best to lift her body up. Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo held her hands and pulled her up.

The two women are both beautiful and young, both under thirty years old.

When we got to the ground and saw the uniformed police officers, the woman who was relatively sober burst into tears.

The policemen present were a little moved.

After being imprisoned for more than a month, the woman's spirit was approaching collapse. She held the nurse's hand tightly and refused to let go.

Waiting for her emotions to be released, Luo Rui stepped forward and tried to ask: "I am the deputy captain of the Shahe County Criminal Police Brigade. Don't worry, the gangsters have been captured by our police. Tell me, Are you two the only ones imprisoned here? "

The woman didn't look at him at all, nor did she answer the question, and her body was trembling slightly.

Seeing this, Cai Xiaojing said: "It's better to wait for her to calm down first, and let me ask her questions later."

Luo Rui nodded and had to give up.

A shelf was set up in the northwest corner of the vegetable garden. The vines of the loofah were wrapped around the shelf, and the vines had dried up.

Several searchlights were set up in the mud nearby, and four policemen were taking turns waving their hoes.

According to Zhao Zhuer's confession, three corpses were buried in the vegetable garden, and they were all female corpses.

Because the body was buried for less than half a year, there were a lot of insects near the mud. Even in late autumn, there were still a lot of blowflies crawling on the loofah vines. When illuminated by a searchlight, these flies looked like bees. Like a swarm, they started flying buzzingly.

Zhao Chunlai and Han Jinli had already put on their equipment and were standing aside to give instructions.

Zhao Zhuer did not participate in the burial of the body. The specific location was confessed by the brothers Zhao Dong and Zhao Qiang. Even if they didn't tell them, Zhao Chunlai could still find the place where the body was buried.

Because it takes a process and a certain amount of time for the body to completely decay.

Due to human interference, the condition of the soil is quite special. Moreover, the time for burying the body was too short, and the growth conditions of the plants were also very different.

Don’t think that corpses can provide nutrients for plants. After microorganisms decompose the corpses, they will release acid, which will actually affect the growth of plants, not to mention attracting a large number of nearby insects.

For example, the blowflies flying on the loofah vines all evolved from maggots. Where did the maggots come from? Nature reproduces during the decay of corpses.

As a forensic doctor, Han Jinli naturally understood this knowledge, so Zhao Chunlai did not tell her.

“Haven’t dug it out yet?” Li Nong walked over here with his hands behind his back, a worried look on his face.

Zhao Chunlai glanced at him: "Do you think you are digging sweet potatoes?"

Li Nong was choked, but he was not angry and quickly put his hands in front of him: "No, Zhao Forensic doctor, don’t be angry, I’m just impatient.”

When the police investigate a murder case, what they care most about is not catching the criminal, but finding the victim's body.

As the old saying goes, there is no way to convict a suspect without a body. The prosecutor can only postpone the case and continue to put pressure on the county bureau to find the body as soon as possible.

This is why, after killing someone, you must hide the body.

Anyone who often kills people knows that there are many ways to dispose of corpses. Throwing them far away and burying them near are common operations.

The best way to use psychological quality is to dismember the body. After dismembering the body, stew it directly in the pot. After the skin and meat are stewed and the bones are removed, DNA comparison is difficult to perform. Then the bones are ground into powder and washed. It goes into the sewer; or it can be melted directly with chemicals. However, chemicals are strictly controlled. If the quantity is too small, it will not be handled. If the quantity is too much, it will be easily traced.

So killing is easy, but disposing of the corpse is difficult, requiring strength and IQ.

As everyone knows, those who killed their wives had no way to dispose of the body. They either cut the body into pieces in the bathroom, took out the body parts and threw them away, or hid the wife’s body in the freezer until the police came to visit and opened it. When I took a look at the freezer, I was immediately frightened.

Zhao Chunlai was used to seeing this, and analyzed: "The corpses were buried relatively deep, probably because this is an important place in Fumen, and these gangsters still have a sense of awe."

Bullshit! Li Nong secretly complained that if he had awe of the gods, he would not commit the serious crime of robbery and murder.

The pit was dug half a meter deep, and Zhao Chunlai immediately stopped. He saw many maggots wriggling in the soil.

When I shine a flashlight on it, I can see the white maggots twisting and turning, as fat as silkworms.

Han Jinli quickly took out the glass jar from the survey box and used tweezers to put the maggots in it. These things must be taken back to the laboratory and tested to prove the victim's time of death.

It took more than an hour to catch the maggots. After that, the police did not dare to continue digging. Instead, they wore three layers of latex gloves and carefully dug the soil.

After a while, a pair of legs of the corpse leaked out, followed by calves, thighs, and even the chest and head.

The corpse was highly decomposed and covered with maggots.

Li Nong stood far away, shaking his head, and walked to another place where corpses were dug.

The situation here is also not optimistic, but unlike the previous burial site, this corpse was buried relatively shallowly, and the entire female body has been revealed. It may be because there are fewer people burying the corpse. So the hole is not dug very deep.

Because time is tight and the interrogation has not yet been completed, the police do not yet know the names of these female victims.

Li Nong sighed deeply and walked to the third burial ground. He saw Luo Rui personally waving the shovel and digging the soil carefully. There were beads of sweat on his forehead and his eyes were blinking. Not blinking either.

Li Nong advised: "There is no need for you to come in person."

The young policeman standing aside quickly explained: "Li Da, Luo Da has to dig it out by himself, I..."

Li Nong waved his hand to him: "Don't be nervous, it's none of your business." Luo Rui He kept waving the shovel until Zhao Chunlai came over and shouted to stop, then he stopped and wiped the sweat from his face.

Several policemen knelt on the dirt and began to bend down and dig the soil.

Luo Rui also put on gloves and did the same action.

Zhao Chunlai glanced at Li Nong: "The deputy captain went into battle himself. Why don't you stay here to enjoy the cool air?"

"Me?" Li Nong was speechless, and then explained: "I can't see the body."< br>
“Then why do you want to be the captain of the criminal police?”

It was the first time that Li Nong and Zhao Chunlai met each other. He didn’t know much about each other’s character, but after these few days of contact, he understood that this was a man who didn’t keep his mouth shut. The best thing to say was that he talked too much. Directly, to put it mildly, it is a sinister person, a complete sinister person.

"I didn't mean that. These girls died so tragically, I can't bear to see it!" Li Nong blurted out, with a somewhat dissatisfied expression on his face.

Zhao Chunlai nodded, and Li Nong thought he understood.

"Then how can you bear to see Luo Rui? He is much younger than you, right? He hasn't been a police officer for as long as you, right?"

"I..." Li Nong said If you can't say anything, just shut up.

“Two years ago, when this kid first went to college, he, Chen Hao and Cai Xiaojing investigated the disappearance of Zhu Lizhi and found the bodies of two girls. They were buried under a grevillea plant. This guy also digs out the body like this.”
Li Nong's body stagnated for a moment. He had learned about Luo Rui from the files. He knew very well that this case was a commotion in Guangxing City at that time. After all, it involved female celebrities and celebrities. Rich people provide sex services, so that girls in the orphanage disappear one after another.

"If anyone can be a criminal police officer, I think Luo Rui is unqualified!"

Li Nong looked at Zhao Chunlai in surprise. Others rated Luo Rui as a criminal investigation genius. Recently, Over the past year or so, the limelight has overshadowed Qinggui Chen Hao.

Not to mention anything else, these few cases in Shahe County were taken to shame other county bureaus. Not only were they solved serious and important cases, but the time to solve them was extremely short. Other units Faced with these cases, either there is nothing to say, or the investigation time is several months, or half a year. How can it be solved in a week or two?

Zhao Chunlai’s words made Li Nong frown, and he asked: “Why is he unqualified?”

Zhao Chunlai pressed his chin and said, “If he is like It's okay to say that you are so careless and heartless, but he is not!

You guys, don’t always think about solving crimes and finding corpses. You just think about arresting people and fighting crime every day!

The psychological development of the police officers must be done well, especially for Luo Rui. Find him a psychiatrist. Don’t face such tragedies all the time, otherwise he will not be able to bear it sooner or later! ”

Li Nong looked at Luo Rui and saw him kneeling in the soil, concentrating on pawing the soil with his hands, not even having time to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Half a month ago, The same thing happened to him when he was digging up Yan Xiao's body.

Li Nong finally understood what Zhao Chunlai meant. He sniffed, walked to Luo Rui and said, "Luo Rui, take a rest for a while. Come for you. ”

"No, I can do it myself." Luo Rui muttered without looking back.

"Then drink water and take a rest first, we are not in a hurry!"

Suddenly, Luo Rui turned to look at Li Nong: "Not in a hurry? What if you are buried in the mud? "Is your family worried?"

"Huh?"

Li Nong was stunned and couldn't speak for a while.

Luo Rui turned back and continued digging.

Li Nong couldn't persuade him anymore, so he let him go.

Luo Rui didn't stop until all the corpses were revealed, and then he followed Zhao Chunlai to collect evidence nearby.

After staying up all night, the sky is getting brighter. Everyone is exhausted and looks miserable.

Luo Rui slept in the main hall of the temple for more than an hour.

He rubbed his eyes and looked up. Three golden Bodhisattva statues stood in front of him. There were rows of pedestals on both sides of the main hall, which seemed to be used to build Bodhisattva statues.

Luo Rui was in a daze, feeling that the scene in front of him was extremely unreal.

The logistics staff brought breakfast from down the mountain, and a group of police officers were eating big meals around the table next to them.

Li Nong brought you dough sticks and soy milk to Luo Rui.

“It’s still hot, let’s eat some first, and then we’ll go down the mountain after eating.”

"Where is the body?"

"It was carried down the mountain when you were asleep. It must have been transported to the funeral parlor by now."

Luo Rui shook his head to make himself more awake. Some, and then looked at Li Nong.

"Li Da, it was my fault last night. I shouldn't have lost my temper with you or said such ugly words. I apologize to you. I'm sorry!"

Li Nong smiled. Patted him on the shoulder: "Look what you said, it's okay. I also lose my temper often. Don't worry, I understand!"

"Okay, then I'll go see Director Zhao. I wonder how his survey is going."

After the hostages were rescued, Zhao Ming and Miao Shouqiang went down to the cellar.

Although this case is very clear, you must be extremely careful when determining the number of criminals. Although there are only five people’s footprints at the dumping site, it does not mean that there are only five people who committed the murder. There may be potential murderer.

Li Nong said: "Director Zhao has come up and is washing his face. After you finish breakfast, we will have another meeting, okay?"

Luo Rui had no choice but to agree.

Half an hour later, the detectives gathered in the main hall, facing the solemn statue of Bodhisattva, to discuss the case.

Cai Xiaojing was the first to speak: "The two girls we rescued, one is named Tang Feifei, and the one who is still in a coma is named Li Qiuju. They don't know each other, but they are both traveling to Shahe County, and they are not Didn't come here alone, we dug it out Among the three female corpses, one is Tang Feifei’s mother and the other is Li Qiuju’s classmate. As for the other female corpse, according to Tang Feifei, it seems that she is a native of Shahe County.”

Cai Xiaojing paused. After a pause, he continued: "Fan Ming imprisoned them Here, in order to prevent them from escaping, they were given one meal every day, and the portion was very small, sometimes a piece of bread or a stick of corn. Anyway, it was just to make them hungry. In addition, Fan Ming did not violate them, mainly. The two brothers Zhao Qiang and Zhao Dong..."

Li Nong took over the conversation: "Fan Ming didn't assault them? That's not what Zhao Zhuer's confession said."

Qi Lei asked: "If Fan Ming really didn't assault them, then why did he agree? Imprisoning people in temples?”

Cai Xiaojing looked at the golden Buddha statue in front of her and said, "For money, the girls said that men would come every day, and there were many of them, all from several villages down the mountain."

At this time, Zhao Mingdao: "I did extract a lot of people's hair, footprints and fingerprints in the cellar, and there were hundreds of rice green liquids in the bedding!"

Hearing this, the criminal policemen were silent, and Qi Lei cursed: "Zhen Nima is not a human being!"

Luo Rui looked at the golden Buddha statue in the hall and said: "Fan Ming should be doing it to make money. , to create these golden Buddha statues, regard these women as..."

Li Nong gritted his teeth: "Catch, arrest all these people!"

Zhao Ming responded: "Fingerprints, footprints, and rice green liquid are the most direct evidence. I will try to screen them one by one and not let anyone go!"

Li Nong nodded: "Okay! Special!" What the hell, all the beasts have formed a chain of interests, and no one reported the crime!"

Zhao Minggang was about to leave, but he immediately turned around.

"One more thing, I asked people to search all night yesterday, but no murder weapon was found."

Luo Rui asked: "You mean the first batch they killed? A weapon used by people? ”

Zhao Ming nodded: "Yes, one man, two women, three skeletons, the man's throat was cut."

Qi Lei touched the back of his head and muttered: "Zhao Zhuer's confession said that this The three brothers were killed by the two brothers Zhao Dong and Zhao Qiang. It's a pig-killing knife from Zhao Dong's house. He said that Fan Ming had been holding this knife after killing someone. We didn't find this knife at the two brothers' homes. It was probably thrown away by Fan Ming. "< br>
“Will it be on Niu Daming?”

Li Nong replied: "We have asked Captain Kang Bolin to arrest the person. There is no news from him yet. We will wait until the person is arrested."

Luo Rui said: "The first to die is five people were killed, and then they killed three more people, a total of The eight people were either tourists or poachers, and all their clothes were stripped off before they died. Not to mention the things they carried with them, where did these things and the clothes of the deceased go? How to deal with it? ”

"Either they were buried or burned with fire." Li Nong felt that it seemed impossible to find these things.

He raised his head and saw Luo Rui looking at the golden Bodhisattva statue in front of the hall.

“When was this Buddha statue created?”

“Huh?” Li Nong was startled.

Qi Lei quickly took out his notebook from his pocket and flipped through several pages. He found that this question was not asked during the interrogation.

Luo Rui walked straight forward, followed by a large group of people.

At first glance, the Bodhisattva statue has just been molded, and there are still mud marks under the base.

Luo Rui stretched out his hand, touched the base of the Bodhisattva statue, and then twisted it with his fingers. There were golden particles on his fingers.

"You don't mean to..." Li Nong swallowed, not daring to speak out.

Qi Lei also opened his eyes wide. Although he was eating from the government and should not be in awe of gods, he was older and still believed in this.

Luo Rui snorted coldly and said to the policeman next to him: "Go get the hammer."

Li Nong immediately advised: "Luo Rui, do you really want to smash it open?"

He squinted and stared at the Buddha statue. "What use is a Buddha statue made of mortal flesh and blood?!"

Soon, the police found a second hammer in the side hall.

After Luo Rui took it, he climbed directly onto the base, swung the hammer in his hand hard, and hit the golden Bodhisattva statue.

Thank you to boss 20240328191129993 for the 500-point reward. Thank you.
