Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 374: Looking for the corpse in a dream!

Early the next morning.

The road outside the construction site in the southern suburbs was filled with private vehicles and the sound of horns was endless.

The original four-lane road was jammed with traffic early in the morning.

It was the height of summer, and after getting off the bus, Shen Huaimin felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, and sweat all over his forehead.

Luo Rui mobilized all the personnel in the county bureau and was determined to find the clues.

This was a death order and he dared not neglect it.

Before daybreak, he mobilized a general force. In addition to all the personnel from the county bureau, he also called in grassroots police officers from police stations across the county, leaving only a few on-duty police officers to guard the stations.

Thousands of people set out 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 meet at the Duan Duan Mountain Range.

If we were to ask what is the most abundant and largest thing in Fengshui County, it would be mountains.

Don't underestimate this carpet-style search mode. The amount of materials consumed is unlimited, and the county bureau simply cannot afford it. Fortunately, the county supported part of it and the municipal bureau also agreed to provide assistance. Otherwise, such a massive mobilization would definitely drain all the funds of the county bureau.

"What's going on? Where did so many cars come from?" Shen Huaimin felt a headache. After the meeting in the early morning, he only slept for two hours.

Xu Chengzhi also had a black circle on his head, and explained: "They are all people from the county. When they heard that [the 1*23 case] was reopened, these ordinary people came to help spontaneously."

Shen Huaimin looked around and saw at least several thousand people in the cars and standing on the roadside. He was not excited or passionate, but frowned: "Nonsense! There is no need for so many people, quickly persuade them to leave!"

"I persuaded them, but they refused to leave." Xu Chengzhi's face turned bitter: "These children have not been found for five years. Who among the people of Fengshui County doesn't know about this?

They all felt sorry for the kids, and many of them had joined the search team five years ago, and they said they had to join this time.”

"You're stupid!" Shen Huaimin cursed in a low voice, "There are so many people, and it's summer now. The mineral water alone is an astronomical price. You want to bankrupt our county bureau, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw several large trucks coming from a distance, but they couldn't pass because the road was blocked.

The bodies of these trucks were hung with red banners that read: [1*23 case] relief supplies.

Among them was 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, which were piled with cardboard boxes.

"This...what is this?" Shen Huaimin was speechless.

Xu Chengzhi was also a little confused.

At this time, Tian Guanghan emerged from the crowd and said: "The people who have received assistance, and the ones who have received the most assistance, are the entrepreneurs who were secretly persecuted by Bai Kangyong in the past.

Do you think that Fengshui County’s economy will not improve without Bai Kangyong and Taihe Group?

These are conscientious entrepreneurs who know that your county bureau is in trouble, so they prepared supplies early in the morning and came to support us. "

"Eh..." Shen Huaimin sighed, feeling lost and guilty. "I... my vision is too low."

Tian Guanghan didn't make fun of him, but said: "Director Shen, the team leader asked me to tell you that since so many people have come to help for free, you must organize them to go into the mountain and search every inch. Don't miss anything and don't take any chances."

"I understand. Captain Luo has already said at the meeting that I will strip anyone who dares to neglect their duties of their police uniform. Please tell Captain Luo about this and we will definitely do our best.

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 streets of Huainan Street were also crowded with people and traffic was almost paralyzed.

Luo Rui stood on the street and shouted to the crowd, "Everyone listen to me. We will go into the mountains in batches, three people in a group, one policeman and two civilians. Each group will hold a shovel and a flag and search every inch. Put a flag on the place where we search and mark it.

Everyone please remember a few points. First of all, do not smoke after entering the mountain. We must confiscate your lighters, please understand!
Secondly, don't rush in. Pay attention to every inch of land in the mountains, especially the mounds that are higher than the surrounding land. Put up red flags and let professional police and police dogs check. Don't dig at will. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

The crowd, led by Xiang Ye, shouted loudly.

"Okay, let's go! The first team will go into the mountain first, followed by the second team..."

Seeing the crowd marching into the mountains in an orderly manner, Luo Rui breathed a sigh of relief.

Cai Xiaojing handed him a bottle of mineral water. Luo Rui unscrewed the cap and drank it in big gulps. The weather was so hot that he was sweating all over even if he just stood there, not to mention searching in the mountains, which was a tough job.

Luo Rui took a breath and asked, "What's the situation at the Nanjiao construction site now?"

Cai Xiaojing handed him a tissue and replied, "Old Tian just called and said Director Shen has taken his men into the mountains."

"Okay!" Luo Rui wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Let's go too. It will take at least three days to climb the whole mountain."

The two chatted as they merged into the crowd.

It lasted until noon, which was only half a day. Many people couldn't bear it anymore. They were very enthusiastic in the morning, but now they were in low spirits.

It's nothing, it's just too hot.

When the weather gets hot, I sweat a lot and my energy is depleted quickly. It is also difficult to eat in this situation. If I can't eat, I won't have the energy to keep up.

Even mineral water can’t quench your thirst. Ice water would be great, but in the mountains, it’s a luxury.

Under such circumstances, we could only search forward for an hour and then rest for half an hour. Otherwise, if someone got heatstroke, we would 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 ones.

Normally, due to discipline reasons, people rarely put on makeup and don’t even wear jewelry.

At this moment, Lin Chen was sitting on a big rock, drinking mineral water with his head tilted back while glancing at Cai Xiaojing's collar.

Mashiro, so fierce!
A drop of crystal clear sweat on the neck was flowing into the gap.

Lin Chen looked down at his own road. It was completely smooth sailing. What a sin.

Cai Xiaojing kept fanning herself with a cardboard and did not notice the girl's actions.

"Captain Cai."

Cai Xiaojing glanced at her: "What's wrong?"

Lin Chen choked for a moment. She originally wanted to talk about the little secrets between women, but now it seemed inappropriate in this occasion, so she changed the topic: "Our criminal team may have to be disbanded."

"Ah?" Cai Xiaojing's eyes narrowed: "What did you say?"

"You've already heard it." Lin Chen curled his lips, screwed the cap on the mineral water bottle, and looked into the forest. Luo Rui was discussing something with a few people at the moment.

Cai Xiaojing turned around and faced her sideways: "Where did you hear this?"

"Who else could it be? Director Wu."

"Your father?"

Lin Chen nodded slightly: "The provincial department is setting up a criminal police team to tackle homicide cases. Director Zhao Ming of your Haijiang Branch has been transferred to the provincial department. Our team leader will probably be transferred there as well and will no longer hold a position in the local area."

Cai Xiaojing looked at Luo Rui, who turned his head and nodded slightly to both of them.

Lin Chen looked at her profile and saw that she was frowning and her eyes were hesitant.

"What? Captain Cai is unhappy?"

"I don't have any, this is a good thing."

Saying one thing and thinking another… Lin Chen curled his lips and said, “The only one in our criminal team who is qualified to enter the provincial department is our team leader, so I say that our criminal team will be disbanded.

Our team leader has solved so many cases in the past few years, and they were all major cases, especially criminal gangs like Bai Kangyong, which can be found almost everywhere.

If our team leader is transferred to the provincial department, his future work focus will not be on one county or one city. He will have to visit so many places in Haidong Province."

Cai Xiaojing agreed with this deeply. She should be happy for Luo Rui's promotion, but she just couldn't be happy.

"…What position will our team leader take?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "I don't know, Director Wu and Captain Zhu must have some ideas, but no document has been issued on this matter, so no one can be sure now.

Captain Cai, don’t you ask yourself?

After our criminal team is disbanded, everyone will go their separate ways. Will you return to the Haijiang Branch or apply for a transfer?"

Cai Xiaojing smiled and said, "Are you so concerned about where I'm going?"

"Of course! Everyone knows that the leader's current status is all thanks to you."

"Let it be." Cai Xiaojing sighed, and then asked: "You didn't tell anyone else about this, right?"

"How could I dare to say it? If Lao Tian and the others knew about it, they would definitely feel uncomfortable. After all, the team leader is a very nice person and treats us well. We are all used to following him. If we suddenly know that we are going to disband, who would feel good?

Moreover, I heard from my father that this homicide task force formed by the provincial department has a lot of people trying to get in, both at the local level and in the department.

Everyone knows that as long as you work with our team leader, you will get a lot of credit. "

Cai Xiaojing nodded and said nothing more, but stood up: "Okay, we've rested enough, let's continue."

In the afternoon, the weather was getting hotter and hotter. I couldn't stand it any longer and could only get some frozen mung bean soup from the foot of the mountain to relieve the heat.

These were the logistics teams spontaneously organized by the residents of Huainan Street, especially the children's parents, who ran up and down to transport supplies without taking a break.

Luo Rui always keeps Xiang Nan and Xiang Ye by his side. These two are very familiar with the terrain of the mountains, and he can learn a lot of information from them.

When night fell, the people who had entered the mountain during the day went down to rest, and another group of people took their place to search at night. However, the police continued their search. No one dared to stop, and they had no way to rest. Without the police to take them away, the people were blind and likely to miss any clues.

Leaking some clues and stripping off the police uniform, this is not something that can be said casually.

These words came from Luo Rui's mouth. His character and style of doing things have spread throughout the county in the past few days. If you dare to go against him, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

It was eight o'clock in the evening and twelve hours had passed.

The search area was not small, but nothing was found. Several suspected burial sites were found, but when they were dug up, they were found to be rocks.

At this moment, the whole mountain was filled with flashlights, searchlights, and the sound of bustling conversations in the middle of the night.

Luo Rui walked in the front, and Xiang Ye held a shovel in his hand and said, "Captain Luo, logically speaking, these children are young, the oldest is only eight years old, they should not be able to run far. If they really got killed, I think it should be the place we searched during the day."

Luo Rui nodded: "Mr. Xiang's analysis is correct, we think so too. But in the past five years, a sapling can grow to more than two people's height, not to mention the weeds and wild animals in the mountains. These factors can cause considerable damage to the murder scene. What we are looking for now are clues such as the burial site and the clothes the children wore that day."

There is one thing Luo Rui didn't say. The most likely thing to be found at the murder scene is bullet shells. If the murderer accidentally killed someone with a shotgun, there might be bullet shells left at the scene.

During the day, Luo Rui personally supervised the search and searched the area where the murder might have taken place carefully, but he did not find this thing.

Then there are two situations.

First: Misjudgment. The murderer did not use a gun, but chose other methods to kill. However, this does not constitute a motive for murder and will directly overturn the entire direction of the case. This is the most fatal.

Second: The murderer did kill someone with a gun, but at the time of the incident, the murderer calmed down and picked up the bullet shell.

But this also raises another question: why were there bullet casings left at Xiang Ke’s burial site?

Since the murderer had time to bury the body, didn't he have time to pick up the bullet shell?

Luo Rui was also very nervous. If he couldn't find any clues in this mountain, he would become a joke.

After hearing what Luo Rui said just now, Xiang Nan next to him opened his mouth but could not say anything.

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 a group of people to go into the mountains to search for living people.

And this year, five years later, the time has come to find the children’s remains.

Needless to say, the county concluded that the children had been killed.

No one could accept this fact. Xiangnan, the father of two of the children, had tears in his eyes and felt so heavy in his heart that he couldn't utter anything.

He wore a mining lamp on his head and looked around. Even if it was a slightly raised area, he would examine it carefully and dig it several times with the hoe in his hand before he could continue moving forward with peace of mind.

Apart from their side, Shen Huaimin did not find any clues.

The search lasted until midnight. 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 officers 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 of Fengshui County. If that was the case, he had to be more careful. It wasn't that he was worried about moving the body or something. Even if there was freshly turned soil, it would not escape the eyes of so many people. The only thing he was afraid of was that someone would set a fire in the mountains, and then he would be really finished.

----------

At night, the temperature was a little cooler, not as hot as during the day, but another trouble was that there were too many mosquitoes, almost flying in front of eyes in swarms. The insect repellent was completely ineffective, and the "slapping" sound of people slapping mosquitoes could be heard everywhere.

There were tents set up everywhere in the forest for the police to rest. Everyone was tired after a day of work and could not hold on any longer, so they fell asleep immediately without having to wash their faces or brush their teeth. There was no such environment in the mountains.

Luo Rui also stayed in the tent, with a map of the mountains on the table.

This map was also newly drawn, with reference to the opinions of many veteran hunters.

The areas marked with red lines on the map have all been searched, and the area is only one-fourth, 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 had not slept well for several nights in a row. Their eye sockets were dark and it seemed that they would die suddenly at any time.

Shen Huaimin covered his chest and said, "Captain Luo, I suggest that we can't search inch by inch like this. It takes too much time!"

"Then what can you do?"

"What I mean is, we should organize a group of hunters and villagers who are familiar with the mountains and specially select a few places where corpses are easily buried. Maybe we can find something?

If we really find it, won’t we save time and manpower? "

Luo Rui had no objection, but he still asked: "Master Xiang, you are familiar with this mountain. Where do you think the body is most likely to be buried?"

Grandpa Xiang shook his head: "How can I tell you? Although I am familiar with this forest, I have no experience in burying corpses."

Tian Guanghan laughed and said, "If you really have experience, then it would be a big deal."

Xiang Ye glared at him, then touched the back of his head and said, "That's impossible. I'm a righteous man. The worst thing I've ever done was running a red light in the county."

Seeing that Mr. Xiang didn't say anything absolutely, Shen Huaimin had no choice but to say, "We have a few people who are familiar with the mountains and have hunted in the mountains before. They all said that the two places most likely to be where the bodies are buried are Turtle Rock and Qiaogou."

"What's the basis?" Luo Rui asked.

"They said that 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'll arrange for someone to go right away."

Xu Chengzhi said, "Captain Luo, what do you think?"

Luo Rui pondered for a moment: "Grandpa Xiang said something during the day, and I agree with it very much. There are five children, four of whom are very young. They can't run far in this mountain. The place where they were killed must be where we searched. Because it has been too long, all traces have disappeared.

So, we can imagine how far away the children were from where they were killed and where they were buried. "

Xu Chengzhi thought for a moment and said, "It won't be too far. After all, there are four or five children. If we want to bury the bodies, it will be a lot of work."

"That's right!" Luo Rui said, "But there is a premise. How many murderers are there? If the murderer is just one person, how far is the place where the murder took place from the place where the body was buried?

If there were two murderers, how far would the murder site and the burial site be?
If there are three murderers... what about the distance? But I don't think it will be more than two. "

Xu Chengzhi couldn't help nodding, and the other people beside him also nodded slightly.

Luo Rui opened the tent, walked outside, and looked toward the forest ahead: "I think, if the children are really buried in this mountain, we will definitely find them one day!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure walked past him, with a hunched back, hurried steps, and a shovel in his hand.

This person was none other than Xiangnan.

Lin Chen quickly called him: "Mr. Xiang, it's so late, don't you want to take a rest?"

Xiangnan stopped, his eyes red. He licked his lips and looked at the people standing in front of the tent: "I slept too much. I also had a dream. I dreamed that my two children asked me to find them."

Seeing his trance-like state, Lin Chen was speechless for a moment.

Luo Rui walked over and said, "There's no rush. Let's take a rest first. After a good rest, we can continue tomorrow."

Xiangnan shook his head: "No. Captain Luo, I know where they are. Xiangming and Taotao just told me in my dream. The brother and sister asked me to dig them out."

"This is too mysterious..." Tian Guanghan said.

It was pitch dark in the mountains, and when this man suddenly said this, Tian Guanghan felt his hair stand on end.

Not only him, even Lin Chen hugged her arms. If there weren't so many people around, she would definitely be frightened.

Luo Rui thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go with you!"

"Team Luo..."

Shen Huaimin wanted to stop it, saying it was too absurd. Besides, it was so late, he couldn't let the commander-in-chief stay up all night.

Xiangnan nodded: "The children told me in their dreams that it is 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 take a rest first. I'll be back soon. It won't take too long."

But Cai Xiaojing and Lin Chen still followed, holding flashlights in their hands and shining them at the mountain road ahead.

Trekking south through the mountains and forests in the dark, with a clear goal, it seemed that we really knew somewhere.

Luo Rui wanted to communicate with him, but he just kept walking forward.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Xiangnan finally stopped and pointed to a slope and said, "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 Xiangnan had already jumped down the slope, found a location, and started digging.

Lin Chen shone the flashlight halo towards the south and whispered, "Team Leader, it can't be that mysterious, right?"

Cai Xiaojing also thought it was too mysterious: "The child appeared in his dream? If he really found something, it would be very strange. If he is not the murderer, it doesn't make sense."

Luo Rui didn't answer and jumped down the slope.

There were lush weeds growing on the slope, with occasional new trees, only about 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 just not come. Luo Rui is taking action, let alone them.

There were six or seven people in total, digging on the slope with great effort.

Tian Guanghan smacked his lips, feeling exhausted, and he firmly believed that the team leader was only trying to comfort Xiangnan's broken heart, fearing that something might happen to him.

In this way, more than an hour passed and the slope was almost dug up, but nothing was found.

Shen Huaimin couldn't hold on any longer. He stood up and touched his old waist.

Xu Chengzhi looked at Luo Rui who was waving his shovel and complained, "Hey, our Luo detachment is really good. He even believes in dreams."

"Get lost!" Shen Huaimin said to him, "Do more and talk less. Stop talking nonsense all day. If you had half of his ability, I wouldn't be dying of sudden death."

Xu Chengzhi sighed angrily and looked at Tian Guanghan who was slacking off on the side: "Hey, do you believe this?"

"I believe it. I believe it..."

Before Tian Guanghan could even utter the word "ghost", he suddenly heard a hoarse shout coming from the bottom of the slope.

"Found it, found it!"
