Chapter 374 Looking for a corpse in a dream!
Early the next morning.
The road outside the construction site in the southern suburbs was filled with public vehicles, and horns were honking incessantly.
The original four lanes were extremely congested in the early morning.
It was hot summer, and after Shen Huaimin got out of the car, he felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, and sweating profusely.
Luo Rui mobilized all personnel in the county bureau to find clues.
This was a death order and he did not dare to neglect it.
Before dawn, he launched a general mobilization. In addition to all the county bureau personnel, even the grassroots police officers from the county's police stations were called in, leaving only a few police officers on duty at the station.
Thousands of people set off and headed in two directions.
One is to enter the mountain from the construction site in the southern suburbs, and the other is to search from the back mountain of Huainan Street, and then converge at the interrupted mountain range.
If you want to say what is the most abundant and largest in Fengshui County, it is the mountains.
Don’t underestimate this kind of carpet-like search mode. The resources consumed are unlimited and the county bureau cannot afford it. Fortunately, the county supports part of it and the city bureau also agrees to provide assistance. Otherwise, such a massive mobilization would not be possible. , determined to drain all the funds of the county bureau.
"What's going on? Where did so many cars come from?" Shen Huaimin felt his head hurt. After the meeting in the early morning, he only slept for two hours.
Xu Chengzhi also put a black circle on his head and explained: "They are all people from the county. I heard that the [1*23 case] was restarted, and these ordinary people came to help on their own initiative."
Shen Huaimin took a look and saw that there were at least several thousand people in the car and standing on the roadside. He was not excited or excited, but frowned: "Nonsense! There is no need for so many people, persuade them to leave!"
"I persuaded them, but they won't leave." Xu Chengzhi's face turned bitter: "These children have not been found for five years. Who among us people in Fengshui County doesn't know about this?
They all felt sorry for these children. Many of them had participated in the search team five years ago, and they said they had to join this time no matter what. ”
"You're stupid!" Shen Huaimin cursed in a low voice: "There are so many people, and it's summer. The mineral water alone is an astronomical figure. You want to bankrupt our county bureau, right?" Right? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw several large trucks approaching from a distance, but they couldn't get through because the road was blocked.
The bodies of these trucks are hung with red banners that read: [1*23 Case] Aid Materials.
Among them were a large truck of mineral water, a truck of instant noodles, a truck of shovels and hoes, etc. In addition, there were more than a dozen tricycles following behind, piled with cardboard boxes.
"This...is this?" Shen Huaimin was speechless.
Xu Chengzhi was also a little confused.
At this time, Tian Guanghan emerged from the crowd: "The people who helped the most were the entrepreneurs who were secretly persecuted by Bai Kangyong.
Do you think that without Bai Kangyong and Taihe Group, the economy of Fengshui County will not get better?
These are conscientious entrepreneurs. They know that your county bureau is in difficulty, so they have been preparing supplies early in the morning and came to support us. ”
"Eh..." Shen Huaimin sighed, feeling disappointed and guilty. "I... my vision is too low."
Tian Guanghan did not make fun of him, but said: "Bureau Shen, the team leader asked me to tell you that since so many people have come to help for free, we must organize people to go into the mountain and search inch by inch, without any Don’t leave anything to chance.”
"Understood, Luo detachment has already said at the meeting that I will take off the police uniform of anyone who dares to neglect their duties. Tell this to Luo detachment, and we will definitely go all out.
At this point, if this case cannot be solved and the children cannot be found, I and everyone in the county bureau will be blamed. I will be the first to take off my police uniform and apologize to the people of the county! ”
——————
In addition to the construction site in the southern suburbs, the roads on Huainan Street are also overcrowded and traffic is almost paralyzed.
Luo Rui stood on the street and shouted to the crowd: "Listen to me, everyone, let's go into the mountain in groups of three, one policeman and two civilians. Each group will hold a shovel and a flag and search for me inch by inch." , place flags in the searched places and mark them
Please remember a few points. First of all, don’t smoke after entering the mountains. We must confiscate lighters. Please understand!
Secondly, everyone must not rush in. You must pay attention to every inch of land in the mountains, especially the earth bags that are higher than the surrounding land. You must put up a red flag and let professional police and police dogs inspect it. Do not dig casually by yourself. Do you understand? ”
"Understood!"
The crowd led by Xiangye shouted loudly.
"Okay, let's set off! The first team will go up the mountain first, followed by the second team..."
Luo Rui let out a sigh of relief when he saw the crowd marching towards the mountains in an orderly and step-by-step manner.
Cai Xiaojing handed him a bottle of mineral water. Luo Rui unscrewed the cap and drank heavily. The weather was so hot that he was sweating even just standing there, let alone searching in the mountains. A chore.
Luo Rui took a breath and asked, "What's going on at the construction site in the southern suburbs now?"
Cai Xiaojing handed him a tissue and replied: "Lao Tian just called and said that Bureau Shen has taken people into the mountain."
"Okay!" Luo Rui wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Let's go too. It will take at least three days to climb the entire mountain."
The two chatted while joining the crowd.
The time lasted until noon, which was only half a day. Many people couldn't stand it anymore. Their enthusiasm in the morning was high, but now they were in a low mood.
Otherwise, it's just too hot.
When the weather is hot, I sweat a lot and my physical strength is exhausted quickly. Moreover, in this situation, it is difficult to eat. If I can't eat, my physical strength cannot keep up.
Even mineral water can't quench your thirst. If you have ice water, it will taste delicious, but in the mountains, this thing is a luxury.
Under such circumstances, we can only search forward for an hour and rest for half an hour. Otherwise, if we suffer from heat stroke, we will have to carry the person down the mountain.
Cai Xiaojing and Lin Chen's faces were flushed. Their shirt collars were originally buttoned, but because it was too hot, they had to unbutton the first, second, and third collars.
Normally, due to discipline reasons, everyone rarely puts on makeup and makeup, and they don't even wear jewelry.
At this moment, Lin Chen was sitting on the big rock, looking up at Cai Xiaojing's collar while drinking mineral water.
Zhenbai, so fierce!
A drop of crystal clear sweat on the neck is flowing into the crack.
Lin Chen lowered his head and looked at his own. It was a sin.
Cai Xiaojing kept fanning herself with a paper shell and didn't notice the little girl's actions.
"Team Cai."
Cai Xiaojing glanced at her: "What?"
Lin Chen choked for a moment. He originally wanted to talk about the little secrets between women, but the occasion seemed inappropriate now, so he changed the topic: "Our criminal team may be disbanded."
"Ah?" Cai Xiaojing's eyes narrowed: "What did you say?"
"You have heard it." Lin Chen curled his lips, screwed the cap of the mineral water bottle, and looked up into the forest. Luo Rui was discussing something with several people at the moment.
Cai Xiaojing turned around and faced her sideways: "Where did you hear this?"
"Who else could it be? Wu Ting."
"Your dad?"
Lin Chen nodded slightly: "The provincial department is forming a criminal police team to tackle murder cases. Director Zhao Mingzhao of your Haijiang branch has been transferred to the provincial department. Our team leader is also expected to be transferred and will no longer hold the local responsibility. Position.”
Cai Xiaojing looked at Luo Rui, who turned his head and nodded slightly to them both.
Lin Chen looked at her side face and saw her frowning and her eyes hesitant.
"What? Captain Cai is unhappy?"
"How can I not, this is a good thing."
Duplicity... Lin Chen curled his lips: "The only person in our criminal team who is qualified to join the provincial department is our team leader, so I said that our criminal team will be disbanded.
Our team leader has solved so many cases in the past few years, and they are all major and important cases, especially now that there are criminal gangs like Bai Kangyong in almost every place.
If our team leader is transferred to the provincial department, the focus of his future work will no longer be one county or one city. He will have to go to so many places in Haidong Province. ”
Cai Xiaojing deeply believed that Luo Rui could be promoted and she should be happy for him no matter what, but she really couldn't be happy.
"...What position will our team leader hold?"
Lin Chen shook his head: "I don't know, Wu Ting and Commander Zhu must have an idea. No documents have been issued on this matter, so no one can say for sure now.
Captain Cai, don’t you ask yourself?
After our criminal team is disbanded, everyone will be separated. Will you return to Haijiang Branch, or apply for transfer? ”
Cai Xiaojing smiled and said: "Are you so concerned about my whereabouts?"
"That's natural! Who doesn't know that the team leader is where he is today, all thanks to you."
"Let it go." Cai Xiaojing sighed, and then asked: "You didn't tell anyone else about this, right?"
"How dare I say that? If Lao Tian and the others find out, they will definitely feel unhappy. After all, the team leader is very good at dealing with people and treats us well. Everyone is used to following him. But suddenly they know that the team is going to break up. Who would feel bad? ?
Moreover, I heard from my dad that there are many people trying to get in, whether they are from the local government or the department, who want to join the homicide team established by the provincial government.
Who doesn't know that as long as you work with our team leader, you will get the credit. ”
Cai Xiaojing nodded, said no more, and stood up: "Okay, enough rest, let's continue."
In the afternoon, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and I couldn't stand it anymore, so I had to get mung bean soup from the mountain to relieve the heat, and it was all frozen.
This is a logistics team organized voluntarily by the neighbors on Huainan Street, especially the parents of the children, who ran up and down to deliver supplies without taking a breath.
Luo Rui has always taken Xiang Nan and Xiang Ye with him. These two people are very familiar with the terrain in the mountains and can learn a lot of information from them.
When night fell, the people who came to the mountain during the day went down to rest, and another group of people were replaced to search at night. However, the police continued. No one dared to stop, and there was no way to rest. No police took them away. People are blind and may miss clues.
Missing some clues and taking off the police uniform are not nonsense.
These words came from Luo Rui's mouth. His character and behavior have been spread throughout the county in the past few days. If you dare to go against him, aren't you asking for trouble?
It's eight o'clock at night, twelve hours have passed.
The search area was not small, but nothing was found. Several suspected burial sites were found, but when dug out they turned out to be rocks.
At this time, the mountains were filled with flashlights, searchlights, and bustling voices in the middle of the night.
Luo Rui walked at the front. Xiangye held a shovel in his hand and said, "Detachment Luo, logically speaking, these children are all young, the oldest is only eight years old. They shouldn't be able to run far. If he was really killed, I think it should be the place where we searched during the day.”
Luo Rui nodded: "Master Xiang's analysis is correct, and we think so too. But in the past five years, a sapling can grow as tall as two people, not to mention weeds and wild animals in the mountains. These factors have It can cause a lot of damage to the murder scene. What we are looking for now are the burial place and the clothes the children were wearing that day.”
One thing Luo Rui didn't mention was that bullet casings were most likely to appear at the murder site. If the murderer accidentally killed someone with a shotgun, there might be bullet casings left at the scene.
During the day, Luo Rui personally supervised and carefully searched the area where he might have been killed, but did not find this thing.
Then there are two situations.
First: Misjudgment. The murderer did not use a gun, but chose other killing methods. However, this does not constitute a motive for the murder and will directly overturn the direction of the entire case. This is the most fatal.
Second: The murderer did kill with a gun, but at the time of the incident, the murderer calmed down and picked up the bullet casing.
But this also raises another question: why are bullet casings left at the burial site of Xiang Ke?
Since the murderer had time to bury the body, didn't he have time to pick up the bullet casing?
Luo Rui was also very worried. If he couldn't find any clues in the mountains, he would become a joke.
Hearing what Luo Rui just said, Xiang Nan next to him opened his mouth and was speechless.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Since entering the mountain this morning, he has been in a very low mood. Not only him, but also the children's parents can't cheer up.
Five years ago, we organized people to go into the mountains to search. They were looking for living people.
And this year, five years later, we are looking for the bones of the children.
Needless to say, the county bureau concluded that the children had been killed.
No one could accept this fact. Xiang Nan was the father of two of the children. His eyes were red and his heart was so heavy that he could not say anything.
He wore a miner's lamp on his head and looked around with his eyes. Even if there was a slightly raised spot, he would check it carefully and dig it several times with the hoe in his hand before he could continue to move forward with peace of mind.
Apart from their side, Shen Huaimin didn't find any clues.
The search lasted until twelve o'clock in the night. Everyone couldn't hold on any longer and had to end today's trip.
The common people were arranged to go down the mountain, but the police remained in the mountain, mainly because they were afraid that someone in the search team would cause sabotage. What if the murderer was hiding in the team?
Luo Rui's initial speculation was that the murderer was a local from Fengshui County. If this was the case, he would have to pay more attention. It was not that he was worried about moving the body. Even if there was freshly turned soil, it would not be able to escape the eyes of so many people. , I am just afraid that if someone sets a fire in the mountain, it will really be over.
——————————
At night, the temperature is slightly cooler and not as hot as during the day. However, another troublesome thing is that there are too many mosquitoes, almost flying in front of the eyes. Insect repellent does not work at all, and you can hear the slapping of palms together everywhere. The "pop" sound of mosquitoes.
Tents were set up everywhere in the forest for the police to rest. After a long day of exhaustion, everyone couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep. Needless to say, they washed their faces and brushed their teeth. There is no such environment in the mountains.
Luo Rui also stayed in the tent, with a map of the mountains spread on the table.
This map was also just drawn, taking into account the opinions of many old hunters.
The places drawn with red lines on the map have already been searched, and the area is only a quarter, which is one day slower than the expected three days.
Because there was a meeting at night, Shen Huaiming and Xu Chengzhi both rushed over. The two of them had not slept well for several nights in a row. Their eyes were frighteningly black and they seemed to be about to die suddenly at any time.
Shen Huaimin covered his chest and said: "Detachment Luo, I suggest that we can't search inch by inch like this, it's too time-consuming!"
"Then what can you do?"
"What I mean is that we organize a group of hunters and villagers who are familiar with the mountains to select a few places where corpses are easy to be buried. What might we find?
If we really find it, wouldn't we save time and manpower? ”
Luo Rui was okay, but he still asked: "Master Xiang, you are familiar with this mountain. Where do you think the most likely place to bury the body is?"
Xiang Ye shook his head: "How can I tell? Although I am familiar with this mountain forest, I have no experience in burying corpses."
Tian Guanghan laughed: "If you are really experienced, it will be a big deal."
Xiang Ye glared at him, then touched the back of his head: "That's impossible. I'm an upright person, and the biggest thing I've ever done was running a red light in the county."
When Shen Huaimin saw that Mr. Xiang didn't say anything absolutely, he had no choice but to say: "We have a few people over there who are familiar with the mountains and have gone hunting in the mountains before. They all said that Wuguishi and Qiaogou are the two places where corpses are most likely to be buried. .”
"What's the basis?" Luo Rui asked.
"This is what they said. The soil in these two places is relatively soft, and few people go there. If the murderer wants to bury the body, these two places are the best."
"I don't agree with this statement, but Director Shen, you can arrange for someone to take a look. I have no objection."
"Okay!" Shen Huaimin responded: "I will arrange for someone to go right away."
Xu Chengzhi said: "Detachment Luo, what do you think?"
Luo Rui pondered for a moment: "Master Xiang said something during the day, and I very much agree with it. Four of the five children were very young. They couldn't run far in the mountains. The place where they were killed must be where we searched." Place, because time has passed, the traces have disappeared.
So, we can imagine how far the distance between the place where the children were killed and the burial place is? ”
After thinking about it, Xu Chengzhi said: "It won't be too far. After all, there are four or five children. If you want to bury the body, the workload will be relatively large."
"That's right!" Luo Rui said: "But there is a premise. How many people are the murderers? If the murderer is one person, how far is it between the place where he was killed and the place where the body was buried?
If there were two murderers, how far away were the places where they were killed and where they were buried?
If the murderers were three people... what about this distance? But I don’t think it will be more than two people. ”
Xu Chengzhi couldn't help but nod, and several other people around him also nodded slightly.
Luo Rui opened the tent, walked outside, and looked at the forest in front of him: "I think if the children are really buried in this mountain, we will definitely be able to find them one day!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure walked past him, with a stooped back and hurried steps, holding a shovel in his hand.
This person is none other than Xiang Nan.
Lin Chen quickly stopped him: "Mr. Xiang, it's so late, why don't you take a rest?"
Xiang Nan stopped, his eyes were red, he licked his lips and looked at the people standing in front of the tent: "I slept, and I had a dream, and I dreamed that my two children asked me to go Find them.”
Seeing his trance-like state, Lin Chen was speechless for a moment.
Luo Rui walked over: "Don't rush it for a while, let's rest first. After you have rested, let's continue working tomorrow."
Xiang Nan shook his head: "No. Detachment Luo, I know where they are. Xiang Ming and Taotao just told me in their dreams. The brother and sister asked me to dig them out."
"You are too mysterious..." Tian Guanghan said.
In this mountain, there is darkness everywhere, and when this person suddenly said such a sentence, Tian Guanghan felt horrified.
Not only him, but also Lin Chen crossed her arms. If there weren't so many people at the moment, she would have been frightened.
Luo Rui thought for a moment: "Okay, I'll go with you!"
"Luo Detachment..."
Shen Huaimin wanted to stop it. This was too ridiculous. Besides, it was so late, so how could the commander-in-chief stay up late?
Xiang Nan nodded: "The children told me in their dreams that it was not far ahead."
Luo Rui picked up a shovel from the side of the tent: "Let's go!"
The others also had to follow, Luo Rui said: "You guys rest first, I will come back as soon as I go, it won't take too long."
But Cai Xiaojing and Lin Chen still followed, holding flashlights in their hands and shining on the mountain road ahead.
Trekking southward through the dark mountains and forests with a clear goal, it seems that I really know a certain place.
Luo Rui wanted to communicate with him, but he just kept walking forward.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Xiang Nan stopped and pointed to a slope: "It's right here, facing west. The children said in their dreams that it was so cold when they slept here."
Luo Rui blinked and wanted to say something, but Xiang Nan had already jumped down the slope. After finding a position, he started digging directly.
Lin Chen shined the flashlight's halo on Xiang Nan and whispered: "Team leader, you can't be so mysterious, right?"
Cai Xiaojing also thought it was too mysterious: "The child entrusted him with a dream? If something is really dug up, then this would be strange. If he is not the murderer, it really doesn't make sense."
Luo Rui didn't answer and jumped down the slope.
There are lush weeds growing on the slope, and occasionally there are new trees, which are only more than two meters high.
The two men dug for a while but found nothing.
But at this moment, Shen Huaimin and others also rushed over carrying shovels.
They can't really say they won't come, Luo Rui is doing it, let alone them.
There were six or seven people in total, laboriously digging on the slope.
Tian Guanghan smacked his lips, feeling that it was a lot of work, and he firmly believed in his heart that the team leader was just trying to appease Xiang Nan's heart that was about to be broken, and was afraid that something would happen to him.
In this way, for more than an hour, the slope has been dug almost completely, and nothing has been found.
Shen Huaimin couldn't hold on any longer. He stood up and touched his waist.
Xu Chengzhi looked at Luo Rui, who kept waving the shovel, and cried bitterly: "Hey, our Luo detachment is really good enough. He believes in all the things about dreams."
"Go away!" Shen Huaimin scolded him: "Do more, talk less, and don't act blind all day long. If you were half as capable as someone else, I wouldn't have to die suddenly."
Xu Chengzhi sighed angrily and looked at Tian Guanghan who was lazing away: "Hey, do you believe this?"
"I believe it, I believe it..."
Before Tian Guanghan could say the word "ghost", he suddenly heard a hoarse shout coming from down the slope.
"Found it, found it!"
