Suspected death is coming

It was not the first time that the two spoke in unison, and everyone in the car took it for granted.

Yuan Che recounted the hijacking incident he and Ke Ran experienced, and then said:

"I saw Yu Shulan in a coffee shop. She was chatting with a middle-aged woman, and then the old lady happened to appear when we were investigating the victim girl. This time it was not a coincidence. She was obviously trying to stop us. The investigation was unsuccessful and it was intended to block our view. I don’t know why she turned herself in immediately. It shows that she has always wanted to protect someone, and this person has a reason to protect.”

The car drove out of the urban area and onto the national highway. An oncoming car in front had its high beams on. The headlights flickered to Liu Lingling. She cursed in a very unladylike voice before asking:

"Do you suspect that one of the hijacked family members is a suspect?"

"No, it's just that the suspect's situation may be similar to theirs. The point is that Yu Shulan is likely to have contact with other family members of the victim. Whether she met by chance or found out by herself, they came together and had a common enemy. The entire revenge plan was planned and implemented by someone, and finally achieved the goal of revenge!"

Zhao Chenguang became excited: "This reminds me of a movie called "Murder on the Orient Express". It seems that this is the plot!"

Liu Hecheng: "Is it the novel written by Agatha?"

Ke Ran hurriedly answered: "I've seen this, the murderer has a grudge against the deceased, and everyone participated in the murder, hey, this case looks a bit like it! It's just that in the movie, Polo solved the case and left it alone. .”

Yuan Che muttered in a low voice: "It's Agatha again!"

Liu Lingling's voice covered Yuan Che's muttering: "It's understandable that twelve people kill one person in one place. Why do we need to change the place? And the places are all similar. What's so special about choosing these places? Do you mean it?"

Zhao Chenguang: "Wait and see this scene, maybe we can find something in common."

Yuan Che patted Liu Lingling's seat and leaned over to ask:

"Yu Shulan didn't mention the ring during the interrogation?"

Thinking of the gold ring, Liu Lingling shook her head, "No. I think she has a ring on her hand."

Yuan Che then asked: "Do you think she forgot, or didn't know at all?"

Ke Ran answered: "I think she didn't know at all at first. During the interrogation, she pretended not to know."

Zhao Chenguang asked: "How do you explain this?"

Keran explained:

"She didn't know because it wasn't her ring at all. Coincidentally, she just changed it to another ring. She pretended not to know that she later found out that she had this ring, but because it was related to the person she was protecting, if she said it She might be involved, so I pretended not to know."

Liu Lingling: "If it's the latter, then there was more than one murderer at the scene of Yuan Sichen's murder."

Yuan Che interrupted their conversation: "During the retrial, you can ask about Yu Shulan's ring and see how she reacts."

After Ke Ran remained silent in the car for a while, he broke the silence and asked Liu Hecheng, "Is the flight attendant you asked male or female?"

Liu Hecheng immediately replied: "It's a man, aren't all the flight attendants now male?"

"Did you find him or did he find you?"

"At first, I was going to give up, but then the station master called me and told me that a flight attendant just got off the bus. Because I was about to get on the bus, he asked the flight attendant to come to me. The person was very cooperative and got off work. I even made a special trip.”

"Oh."

"What, is there a problem?"

"It's nothing." Ke Ran went vaguely and suddenly raised his voice and said, "We're almost there!"

Everyone in the car looked ahead, and there was nothing in front of them except the next road sign.

Ke Ran smiled and shook the phone with a black screen: "They sent me a location sharing message. Sister Lingling, go down at the crossing in front."

Under the direction of Ke Ran, the car drove into the fork under the national highway, and after driving about 400 meters, it saw the lively headlights ahead, and the car stopped behind a police car.

After getting out of the car, the scene in front of me was quite shocking.I saw five police cars forming a circle, with the headlights pointing directly at the center of the circle.

The Trace Inspection Division, who followed them out of the car, walked into the light and began to get busy.Zhao Chenguang quickly dressed and joined the crowd around the circle.

A man in his 40s came out of the crowd watching them come:

"You guys are here. Who is Yuan Che?"

Yuan Che stretched out his hand to hold the visitor:

"I'm Yuan Che, are you Director Qu? Thank you for your hard work at such a late hour."

"Where is there, we still want to thank you. The director ordered to find the corpses nearby. This section of the national highway is at least a dozen kilometers, and the area under our jurisdiction is also a few kilometers. Even if we search for it for a few days, we may not be able to find it. You locked the direction for us with a phone call, and we found it in less than half an hour. Compared with days of searching, staying up all night is nothing."

"Are there all kinds of weeds under this national highway?"

"It's about the same, and there are some corn fields one mile inward. But recently, there are more migrant workers, and many lands have been abandoned. Some lands have also been covered with greenhouses and started to grow vegetables and flowers."

Yuan Che looked around at Caodianzi, which was endless at a glance. How did Ke Ran get here so accurately?

This question lingered in his mind for a while, and Yuan Che and the director learned about the specific situation in this area. After thanking the director, he followed Liu Lingling and the others to watch outside, waiting for the people from the trace inspection department to finish their investigation.

This place is just like the other two crime scenes, it is a barren grassland, but the grass in the middle has been artificially cut down and scattered around.

There was a large piece of scorched earth in the middle of the meadow. Some withered grass left over from previous years had been burned away, and the new grass had also become scorched black.

The Trace Inspection Department quickly completed its preliminary investigation, but found no useful clues.Seeing that they spread out and searched, Yuan Che and the others walked into the circle.

When they got closer, they realized that the center of the circle was a pit.

The pit is huge, big enough for a person to lie in it.

The strange thing is that there seems to be no grass growing around the pit, and there are not even grass roots on the ground.

There were no huddled corpses in the pit, only a few black coke-like things piled together.Human limbs and torsos can be vaguely discerned from these cokes.There is a lot of ash in the middle of the coke, like well-burned clothes.

Zhao Chenguang was looking under the torso, reached out his hand to touch the ground, looked at it by the light, put the soil in his hand in front of his nose and smelled it.

By the time Zhao Chenguang stood up, several people had already walked around the field.When they gathered around Zhao Chenguang, they heard him sigh heavily:

"The deceased was a male. There was a lot of fat on the ground of the torso. He should be a fat person. Now that the light is here, and the body has been burned, it is difficult to judge the tools used to dismember the body from the fracture.

Because the body has been carbonized after high-temperature incineration, it is impossible to judge the time of death from the rigor.It can only be judged by the remaining food in the digestive tract after dissection.

The deceased was burned after being dismembered. Judging from the degree of burning, gasoline should be used as a flame retardant.It was in this pit that the body had been dismembered, and the blood had almost seeped into the dirt.When the body is transported later, the soil under his body will also be transported away.

There are small spurts of blood, and drips of blood on the edge of the pit.

The dead should have been alive when they were mutilated. "

Although the dead man was probably the damned Yuan Dazhi, after hearing what happened next, several people still felt chills in their hearts.

This scene is not the scene of throwing corpses, but the scene of murder.

What kind of deep hatred should be in this scene of excessive killing!

Yuan Che imagined a person slashing with a sharp blade in his hand, slashing at the bones one by one, each slashing was accompanied by a hissing and blood spattering.

Looking at the ashes around the corpse, Yuan Che said in a deep voice:

"If this is the case, the murderer must have a lot of blood on his body. How can he hide it?"

Ke Ran squatted next to the bones: "If the murderer had a premeditated plan, he could bring a set of clothes to change into, and burn the blood-stained clothes."

An excited voice came from the grass: "I found it!"

Yuan Che looked at Qiu Chen who was walking towards him with a deep foot and a shallow foot. He was holding a long object in his hand, and his eyes flashed:

"Have you found anything?"

"Big discovery, this is probably the murder weapon."

Qiu Chen raised the object in his hand, and by the light, he saw that it was a large machete, with dark brown stains on the blade and even the handle.

This is probably a tool for dismembering the corpse. There are clear finger prints on the dyed handle. Unfortunately, the fingerprints look textured, and it should be dismembered with gloves on.

"In addition to finding this, I also found a road walked by people. The grass on the ground has been flattened. It seems that more than one or two people have walked here. Or it was left after dragging objects. We are going along I searched carefully along this road. Now nothing else has been found except this knife."

"Is there no blood?"

"No, the bloodstains only appeared here. Although there was blood on the knife, there was no bloodstain at the place where the knife was found. It should have been thrown there after the blood on the knife dried up.

There are still some footprints at the site.Judging from the footprints, the murderer was a man wearing size 39 shoes. He should be fat and about 1.7 meters tall. "

Zhao Chenguang went on to say:

"The murderer should be a man. The incision of the dismembered body was at the femur, and there were many knife marks around it, indicating that the murderer had to cut a lot of knives to complete the division. It would take a lot of strength to cut this part of the bone, and of course it cannot be ruled out. The murderer was a strong woman."

Qiu Chen nodded and continued, "A round object was once placed in this position among the traces on the ground."

As Qiu Chen spoke, he walked to the side where Liu Lingling was standing, and an arc-shaped line was pressed under the messy footprints on the ground.

"Something was placed here. This trace was also seen at the first crime scene. I remembered that there was an empty cardboard box in Yuan Dazhi's room, which looked like a moving light. The base in the picture was round. of."

Ke Ran looked at the direction Qiu Chen came from just now, and then at a place at an angle of about [-] degrees from that direction, walked to the director who had been wandering around and asked:

"Where does this lead to?"

The director made a careful distinction and said:

"A mile or so further from here is the main road leading to the national highway from Qixian Town."

After looking around, Liu Lingling approached Ke Ran:

"What? Why do you ask that?"

Ke Ran looked in two directions and smiled:

"It's nothing, I'm just asking casually."

After a busy meal, Zhao Chenguang followed the car that transported the corpse and left first.

Yuan Che and the director explained the requirements for protecting the scene.By the time the people from the police station were also evacuated one after another, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening when Yuan Che and the others got into the car.

Tired and heavy hearted, everyone in the car had their own thoughts and were silent along the way.

Back at the bureau, Gu Huayu was no longer in the office. Yuan Che looked at the obviously tired people, and then remembered that they didn't eat at all.

"I'll treat you to dinner, and then go home to rest. It is estimated that the results of Chenguang's autopsy will not come out so soon. Tomorrow, Acheng, you and Xiaoyu will go to investigate Yu Shulan together. We will bring out all the evidence and then go to interrogate Yu Shulan. Before leaving get off work tomorrow The director wants to close the report."

Liu Lingling said weakly: "Boss, we appreciate your kindness, now I just want to lie on my love bed!"

Liu Hecheng waved his hands again and again, drank two sips of water and followed Liu Lingling out of the office.

Ke Ran had no intention of leaving. Yuan Che wanted to talk to him about the question in his mind just now, but then remembered what the director and the old man had said, so he held back the question.

Take a break and report to the director.Yuan Che sat on the chair, rested his head on the back of the chair, closed his eyes, and cleared his mind.

He ignored Ke Ran, but Ke Ran came to the door by himself. He sat on the desk in front of Yuan Che and looked down at Yuan Che who was slumped on the chair: "Do you have something to say? What did the chief tell you today?" ? Does it have something to do with me? Can you not transfer me?"

Yuan Che looked up at him, and didn't bother to tell him to leave his desk, and turned his chair in the opposite direction.

As soon as he turned around, the chair was turned back again. This time, Ke Ran locked the chair firmly with both hands, and bent down to almost touch Yuan Che's face.

He could feel Ke Ran's breathing, and Yuan Che struggled to get out of the slumped state.In the next second, Ke Ran's hand holding the chair was already on his shoulder, and the body that had just got up was pushed down again.

Yuan Che, who couldn't exert any strength on his feet, waist, could only look at Ke Ran, his eyes were burning with fire.

Ke Ran said in a low and gentle voice: "You have been avoiding me, are you really afraid? What did the old man tell you? You haven't told me yet."

Yuan Che's cell phone on the table rang.

Yuan Che struggled again: "Take your hands away!"

"You said it, and I let you go!"

"You have something wrong, I just don't say it, if you have the ability, you just stand there!"

Ke Ran giggled grinningly:

"Of course I won't just stand like this!" As he said that, his face was already close, and immediately his lips were covered by something warm and moist!

Yuan Che's eyes widened, he couldn't believe that Ke Ran kissed him in the office.

His chest froze for a while, and his heartbeat went from missing a beat to beating wildly.

Yuan Che's body became numb.

I don't know how long it took, the ringtone of the mobile phone has given up, and everything around has become quiet.

Ke Ran just left Yuan Che, and took a step back: "I've been thinking about this action all day. As I said, I'm interested in you. I'm not joking. You'd better take it seriously!"

Obviously his face was burning, Yuan Che couldn't help licking his numb lips with his tongue:

"You are crazy!"

I don't know when the quiet cell phone rang again. Before Ke Ran picked up the cell phone and handed it to Yuan Che, he responded in a low voice: "You are right!"

Yuan Che answered the phone, his eyes were dazed, and he dialed the phone mechanically with his fingers: "Hello?"

Zhao Chenguang's voice on the other end of the phone was full of surprise: "Yuan Che, we found a finger bone in the soil under this charred bone, which does not belong to Yuan Dazhi."
