what's weird

Nanhe Road was called a village group before it was planned, and it was far away from the urban area. Although it has been rehabilitated, there are still a lot of private houses. Because the rent here is cheap and it is close to Yicheng Industrial Park, some factories simply rent it. Several buildings are used as staff dormitories, so the people here are very dense and the environment is very dirty.It was working hours now, and there were only some women strolling with their children on the street. When they saw the police car approaching, they all looked around curiously.

Gu Yizhi asked one by one with Xia Zhiqing's photo in his hand, and they all shook their heads, saying that they had never seen this person.Before he knew it, he and Wang Hao came to the end of the street. The houses here were particularly dilapidated. The stone slabs covering the sewer were missing several teeth, and there was a sour smell.A row of densely packed brick houses appeared in front of them. The walls were not even painted with the most basic cement, and the roofs were still covered with colored steel tiles. I can't believe there is such a messy place in Yicheng.

An older lady in her 40s was sitting at the door with her shoes on. She raised her head when she heard the sound, pushed her glasses on the bridge of her nose and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Gu Yizhi stepped forward and asked, "Sister, have you seen this person?"

The eldest sister took the photo and looked at it carefully. She didn't speak for a long time. Just when Gu Yizhi thought that she was going to return in vain this time, she suddenly said, "I've seen it before. I came here about half a month ago."

"Really? Did you see clearly?" Wang Hao asked with a happy face.

"It must be midnight. I got up to go to the toilet and saw her wandering in the yard, dressed very well. She didn't look like someone from our place, so I took a few extra glances." The eldest sister said, "I can see clearly Well, I told others about it the next day, and everyone said that a girl who came to a place like ours must not be a serious person."

"Has she ever met anyone?" Wang Hao asked urgently.

"I haven't met, but she stopped in front of that room for a while." The eldest sister pointed to the rental room in the farthest corner and said.

"Who lives in that room?" Gu Yizhi asked.

"Who knows, I haven't seen him go out before." The eldest sister said with a curl of her lips.

"Then did you see when this girl left?" Gu Yizhi continued to ask.

"I went to listen to it after dawn. There was no sound in the room, so I guess she had already left." The eldest sister didn't feel ashamed to listen to the wall, and asked excitedly, "Comrade police, what's the matter?" Who is it that made you come all the way here to ask?"

"This is the victim of a murder case. If you have any other clues, please let us know." Wang Hao said in a businesslike manner.

"Dead?" The eldest sister stood up from the bench and said twice, "I just said, a big girl who came to our place in the middle of the night, what kind of decent person is she!"

Gu Yizhi and Xia Zhiqing still have some friendship, but after hearing what the elder sister said, his face is not very good-looking. If he is not actually handling the case now, he really wants to refute a few words.A child's cry came from the room. The elder sister put away the insoles and hurried in, not even thinking about saying hello to the two police comrades.Wang Hao looked at the small brick house in the corner and said, "Let's go and have a look."

Gu Yizhi nodded, and the two walked over there, and faintly smelled a particularly strange smell, Wang Hao sniffed: "What kind of smell is this, it's disgusting."

"It seems to come from here." Gu Yizhi pointed to the closed wooden door.This house is very small, only a dozen square meters, with bare red bricks on the wall, covered with moss, on the right is a laundry table made of stones, with a cement board on it, and the water pipes are freshly connected, brand new Blue looks out of place with the surrounding.This kind of house should be specially built by the landlord to rent to migrant workers. Although it is dirty and old, the rent of 200 yuan a month is still attractive enough.

The closer to the house, the heavier the smell, Wang Hao couldn't help covering his nose: "Is there really someone living here?"

Gu Yizhi glanced at the door lock. Judging from the degree of wear and tear, it was indeed inhabited all the time.He motioned to Wang Hao, Wang Hao nodded, stepped forward and knocked on the door.

dong dong dong-

There was a dull sound when their fingers were pressed against the wooden board. They waited for a while, but there was no movement inside.Wang Hao repeated the action again, and said loudly: "Is there anyone? We are the police, please cooperate with our work."

There was still no sound inside, Wang Hao was a little anxious: "What should we do, shall we rush in?"

"I haven't found any evidence yet, isn't it appropriate? Let's go to the landlord to find out the situation first." Gu Yizhi suggested.Wang Hao nodded disappointedly: "It seems that we can only do this first, let's go."

A gust of wind blew by, and the disgusting smell became more and more intense. Gu Yizhi stopped, and looked at Wang Hao with a strange expression: "Wang Hao, you think this smell is very similar...it looks like a corpse. Scattered after rotting?"

Wang Hao was shocked: "That's right! It's the rotten smell of corpses!"

As policemen, they were too familiar with this smell. Various images of hiding corpses appeared in Wang Hao's mind, rotting and dripping corpses were found out from the refrigerator, from under the bed, and from the wall.He said vigilantly, "Isn't there..."

"Go in and have a look." Gu Yizhi no longer struggled with the rules, and he and Wang Hao broke the door open in one go.This kind of old-fashioned spring lock is vulnerable, the wooden door slams against the wall and makes a loud noise, the room is dark, and the only window is tightly blocked by light-proof curtains, and the putrid smell blows over, Wang Hao almost Nausea, struggling to suppress the churning sensation in my stomach.

There was obviously no one in the room, so Gu Yizhi turned on the light, the light bulb above his head flickered a few times, and finally turned on firmly.Opposite them was a bed without even the most basic bedding. Except for a broken table with bricks, there were no other daily necessities in the room. Wang Hao walked around and found a piece of paper on the bed. There was a strange dark-brown stain on the beach. With years of experience in handling cases, he knew that it was probably blood.Wang Hao signaled Gu Yizhi to come over and check. They checked the wooden bed carefully, and not only found more stains, but also found a blood-stained women's windbreaker under the bed.

They contacted Qi Zhen immediately. About an hour later, Qi Zhen brought his colleagues from the Technical Investigation Department to the scene of the incident. The sound of sirens attracted the surrounding residents. Was guessing what happened.

The technical investigators collected all the suspicious items, and several policemen were asking the onlookers for some specific conditions. Wang Hao contacted the landlord. The short and fat old man was frightened by the battle in front of him. Wang Hao took him to record confession.

"Could this be the scene of the first crime?" Gu Yizhi asked.Xia Zhiqing's body was dumped in a garbage dump. It was obvious that she was killed in another place, and the suitcase used to transport the body was an important clue. The criminal investigation team has been investigating for the past few days.Qi Zhen said solemnly, "It's very possible, just wait for the blood test results to come out now."

"If this is the case, then the person living in this room is likely to be the person we are looking for." Gu Yizhi said.

"People and snakes are mixed here, which makes it difficult to investigate and collect evidence. However, judging from this room, the scene should not have been damaged. I hope to find favorable clues." Qi Zhen said with a sigh.The phone rang at this moment, he picked it up, and after listening to the words inside, his face gradually became heavy, and after hanging up the phone, he said: "They found the seller of the suitcase, Yi Zhi, let Wang Hao take care of it here, you come with me have a look."

The suitcases for transporting corpses are relatively old-fashioned, and the boxes are made of black Oxford cloth. Generally, they are only sold in low-end shopping malls.Qi Zhen found that there was a lot of dust in the gaps of this suitcase, which was likely to be in stock in the store. Since this was the case, the circulation in the market should not be high, so he asked someone to take a photo of it in Yicheng's middle and low I kept asking questions in the market, and there was no result until today.

This is a small wholesale market for luggage and bags, which sells relatively high-end goods, mainly supplying retail stores in surrounding counties. A policeman waited for them at the entrance and led them to the store.The boss is a middle-aged man in his 40s. He saw the police suddenly, and he didn't know what happened, with a bewildered expression on his face.

Qi Zhen spread the photo of the suitcase in front of him and asked, "Are you sure you bought this suitcase?"

"Yes, I told those two comrades just now." The boss replied tremblingly, "This kind of box is several years old, and it has not been sold in the market for a long time. The main reason is that it is too big, impractical, and cannot be sold. , I still have a few left in the warehouse, why don't I bring them over for you to have a look?"

"Okay, I'll trouble you." Qi Zhen replied.The boss made a phone call, looked up and said after explaining, "The warehouse is a bit far away, you may have to wait for ten minutes."

Qi Zhen nodded, and asked again: "Do you still remember who bought the box?"

The boss thought for a while and said: "I may not remember others, but I still have a little impression of him. He was a man in his 20s. At that time, he asked for the biggest suitcase by name. After reading a few times, he was not satisfied, so I asked my wife He moved this from the warehouse, but he immediately took a fancy to it, and dragged it away without even paying back the price."

"What does he look like?" Qi Zhen asked.

"I really can't remember this, but there is surveillance in my store, let me find it for you?" The boss pointed to the computer in front of him and said.This was beyond Qi Zhen's expectation. As long as there was surveillance video, there would be less detours in the investigation of the case.The boss set the time, and muttered while operating: "I remember it seemed to be Friday, because my wife was rushing to pick up my daughter home, and I was the only one watching in the store. Yes, that's right, it's Friday! "

The videos in the store can be saved for a month, which is rare good news for Qi Zhen and the others, at least it saves the trouble of restoring the data.The video started to play, and the boss who was bored sitting in the store and playing with his mobile phone appeared on the screen. After fast forwarding for a while, a white figure appeared on the screen. The boss pointed at him and said, "That's this young man!"

With his back to the camera, he couldn't see his face clearly. As the boss said, he bought the box directly after seeing it, and even patted the box surface with his hands, seeming very satisfied.The boss took the money and sent him away with a smile on his face. He turned around, and although the camera was not high-resolution, he still recorded his appearance.

"This person is..." Qi Zhen had a look of astonishment on his face.

That's right, he is Fang Yubai.
