crime profiler in the dark

"Brother Hai, this is from the city. I want to know what you found when you salvaged it." Officer Wen said to the middle-aged man sitting on the far right.

Brother Hai is estimated to be in his forties, with a square face and dark skin. He looks ordinary, but he is tall, half a head taller than Bai Haolin, who is nearly 180 tall.

"Hi, my name is Bai Haolin." Bai Haolin stretched out his hand.

"Hello, hello." Brother Hai also hurriedly stretched out his hand, "Let's sit over there." He pointed to the sofa next to him.

After sitting down, Brother Hai asked, "What do you want to know?"

"A total of twelve corpses were recovered, can you tell me where the corpses were recovered?"

"Xiao Zhang, get the map." Hai Ge said to a young man behind him.

Xiao Zhang brought the map of Wei Yinqu, Hai Ge took out a pen and circled the eight places on it: "Five of them were found in Xisanzhi, and the others were distributed in these places."

In order to facilitate irrigation, the Weiyin Canal was built around the entire Kui Town, so there are many bends, and each bend is named after a "branch". There are twelve branches from west to east, namely West One, West Two,..., Middle one, middle two branches, ..., east one, east two branches, ..., and so on, it was found that the body of the victim of the murder case was found in the west three branches, and the rest were in the west four branches, the middle One, middle three and so on.

Bai Haolin took a look at the map and asked, "I heard Officer Wen said that you are Wei Yinqu's scavengers, so why didn't you usually find the dead body in the canal?"

After hearing Bai Haolin's words, the other three showed displeasure. In their view, Bai Haolin was accusing them of not doing their job well.

"It has been raining heavily recently, you may not have noticed that Weiyinqu is usually very clean, and the water in the canal is emerald green, but in such clean water, fish larger than the size of a palm cannot survive, because there is a kind of aquatic plants growing in the canal. Our local people call it the ecstasy grass. This kind of grass has strong vitality and grows densely throughout the Weimeng Canal. Not to mention humans, even larger fish can be easily entangled to death by it, so our local People will never go into the water, but when there are more tourists, especially in summer, some people can’t resist swimming in the canal when they see the water is so clean. As a result, nine out of ten people will die. We also posted a notice in Kui Town saying that swimming is not allowed, but the prohibition continues. , and the few corpses you mentioned were all entangled in the bottom of the water by the ecstasy grass, and it is difficult to see them at ordinary times. It took us a lot of effort to fish them out."

"So that's how it is." Bai Haolin nodded and said, "Is this also the case in Xisanzhi? I heard that your corpses were packed in snakeskin bags?"

"Well, yes, sand and stone were mined in the ditch before, and there were some potholes of different sizes. The body was found in a pothole near the north."

"When did the sandstone mining start?"

"It seems to be about seven or eight years?" Brother Hai also looked uncertain.

"It was the summer nine years ago. I heard that some kind of factory was going to be built upstream, so I dug sand and gravel from local materials in the canal. This is also the reason why the aquatic plants in the upstream are far less lush than those in the downstream, but I don't know why they didn't dig all of a sudden. ’” said a young man sitting in the back listening to them.

"Yes, yes, there was a lot of trouble in the town at that time. It was said that a chemical plant was going to be built upstream. What was the name of that bastard?" Another person also recalled.

"Zhang Jinwang! The former mayor! He didn't do anything good when he was in office!" The older man replied with disgust on his face.

"I was relatively young at the time and didn't know much about it, but I heard my parents often scold him."

"That's right! Gou Wang ordered his younger brother to forcibly demolish more than a dozen families upstream, causing them to be ruined! It's just to repair the Laoshizi chemical plant!! And what the hell is it for the town's economy! Hmph, the sewage The waste water is discharged in the canal, how can the town have any economy?! It’s not because of taking benefits from other people!! Fortunately, the whole family left, otherwise Kui Town will be ruined!!”

"Their whole family? Are there many people?" Bai Haolin asked
