Three people and one ghost solved 43 mysterious cases.

The identity of the deceased is special and can be easily distinguished from normal people.

But after investigating the missing persons in the past two months, nothing was found. In other words, no one has been reported missing.

If we really want to investigate, collecting information on each dwarf and conducting investigations will require a large number of manpower, which is also full of difficulties.

At this time, the rice bag used to hold the body helped Yuan Fugui.

There are some strange characters on this rice bag, which are "Yuenan characters", which means that this is a rice bag used to hold Yuenan rice.

This kind of Yuenan rice is relatively long and slender, and the locals are not used to it when cooked.

This kind of rice is mostly used to make rice noodles.

There were symbols and trademarks on the rice bags. Upon investigation, a food wholesale factory came into the police's sight.

Yuan Fugui went to find the person in charge of this food factory. When the person in charge saw the rice bag, he recognized that this kind of Yuenan rice was exclusively imported by him. A lot of rice was piled in the warehouse and was being sold to some rice noodle factories. .

The person in charge brought the purchase order, which showed that this batch of Yuenan rice was shipped to K City more than 40 days ago.

In other words, this kind of rice had not started to circulate more than 40 days ago, but it really started to circulate more than 20 days ago.

The time node in between happens to be the time of death of the deceased.

The person in charge said, “I remember that I first took a few bags of rice and gave them to a canteen in front of my house.”

The person in charge lives in a village next to the industrial area.

After he bought this batch of rice, he wanted to see if he could sell it directly, so he took ten bags of rice and asked a familiar canteen in the village to sell it on a trial basis.

.

After chatting with the person in charge of the food factory, Yuan Fugui went to the village and found the canteen.

She took out a photo of the rice bag and asked the canteen owner, "Have you ever sold this kind of rice here?"

After looking at the photos, the canteen owner quickly had the impression, "It's really difficult to sell."

After taking in the ten bags of rice, he first opened one bag and placed it in a conspicuous position at the entrance of the store so that the villagers could try buying and eating a little.

A dozen villagers took bowls and dug some out and went back to eat. After that, they all shook their heads and said that they really couldn't get used to it.

The boss said that the rice had been sold for a long time and could not be sold at all. He was originally planning to return it to the person in charge of the food factory, but after all, they were neighbors, and the person in charge of the food factory did not confiscate his money, so he just let it go.

He led Yuan Fugui to the utility room at the back and pointed, "They're all here."

In the dark room, eight rice bags that were already a little dusty were piled up.

eight?

"Not a single bag of rice was sold?" Yuan Fugui asked.

"Only one bag was sold." The owner of the canteen still remembered it clearly. He said that about a month ago, a young man came here.

This man is a man, and he looks... The boss thought for a moment. He has a black shirt, gold-rimmed glasses, and is polite.

This young man walked in and asked, do you sell rice here?

The boss must have recommended expensive, high-quality rice first. Unexpectedly, after looking at several varieties of rice, the young man said, "This is too little, there is not enough to eat."

Seeing that the young man was not from the village, the boss remembered that he had just bought a large batch of Yuenan rice, so he promoted, "This rice is sufficient, but it is not very tasty."

The man asked the price and didn't say anything, so he bought a bag. Since the rice was heavy, the boss found a cart and helped pull it to the young man's car.

"That car was very new, shiny, a Mercedes-Benz, a good car." the canteen owner recalled with some envy.

Unsold rice, handsome young people, iconic cars, these are used as tags, and the tags are connected in memory. The memory points make the boss deeply impressed by this small incident that happened a month ago.

Could this young man be the murderer? Yuan Fugui thought.

Why did he buy this bag of rice? Why did he say that a large amount is enough to eat.

It is impossible for a gentle man who drives a car worth RMB 50 million to have a demand for "large quantities" of rice, and he still buys it in the village. Isn't it not available in the city?

Could this be the case? An idea popped into Yuan Fugui’s mind——

Could this young man live near this village? There are still many people living in that place, and many people need rice.

Will it be a factory or company?

No, if the factory wants to prepare food, it will definitely find a cook to buy rice. Moreover, young people know that the rice is not delicious, but they still want to buy it. So he doesn't care about the taste of rice eaters.

Illegal pyramid scheme?

Therefore, this young man is most likely engaged in some kind of underground pyramid scheme. He found some people and locked them in a house to brainwash them.

Eating is just to meet basic needs.

So, the deceased, this dwarf, might be a prisoner of a pyramid scheme.

Life is not easy for these people and they are easily deceived.

The dwarf was deceived into an illegal pyramid scheme location, and after brainwashing, he realized something was wrong.

The dwarf wanted to escape, but was beaten by the pyramid scheme leader. During the fight, the pyramid scheme leader accidentally covered the dwarf to death, then put the dwarf into a rice bag and threw his body into the lake?

In a very short period of time, Yuan Fugui deduced a version of the truth in his mind.

After thinking about it, she took a breath and folded this version of the truth in her mind, turning it into a clue memory point.

This is her unique way of investigating cases, and she always thinks a lot.

For each case, she would reason at any time, constantly popping up various versions of the "case trend", as if there were a hundred or a thousand possibilities, intertwined, connected, and eliminated in her brain, just to find the only truth. .

"Did that young man pay with his mobile phone?" Yuan Fugui asked the canteen owner.

The boss thought for a while and said, "Yes, that's right, 150 yuan."

The purchase price of the rice was 50 yuan, and the boss sold it for 150 yuan. The other party did not counter-offer. The boss dealt with numbers every day and was deeply impressed.

.

Next, colleagues in the computer department found the payment history of 150 yuan based on the payment record of the canteen owner's mobile phone.

The young man's mobile phone was found. The mobile phone has a real-name system, and the registered owner's name is Zhang Shiwen.

28 years old. Graduated from a prestigious university, worked as a promotion manager in an art academy, and had a Mercedes-Benz car in his name.

Painting academy?

Yuan Fugui was stunned for a moment, this was not consistent with her inferred identity as a "pyramid salesperson".

What surprised the police even more was that they secretly investigated and found that Zhang Shiwen seemed to be missing, his mobile phone was shut down, and there was no consumption record for this month.

Zhang Shiwen was renting a house in a high-end community in the city. The security guard downstairs said that Zhang Shiwen had not been seen for a month.

I called the landlord, who also said, yes, it was seven days before the rent collection day, and he couldn't contact Zhang Shiwen.

"Do you have a spare key to the house?" Yuan Fugui asked.

"No."

Yuan Fugui called a locksmith to open the house Zhang Shiwen rented.

Entering the house, the windows were open, there was a lot of dust, and there were cockroaches lying next to the trash can. Obviously, no one had lived here for a long time.

Did Zhang Shiwen really kill the dwarf and then abscond out of fear of crime?
