Detective: From the Police Academy
Chapter 386: There is more than one corpse hidden in the well!
Chapter 386: There is more than one corpse hidden in the well!
Late, eight o'clock.
The night wind howled, and the faint starlight descended on the world, dispelling some of the darkness.
Luo Rui lay at the mouth of the well and shouted to the bottom: "Doctor Yi, what's the situation down there? Have you found anything?"
About twenty meters vertically downward from the wellhead, the huge echo hit the eardrum, causing Yi Chunlin to tilt his head.
He was wearing fully enclosed waders and standing cautiously at the bottom of the well, the mud already reaching up to his thighs.
The young forensic doctor from the Municipal Bureau squatted in the hanging basket, holding a high-intensity flashlight in his hand, to assist him.
Yi Chunlin raised his head and looked towards the wellhead. Luo Rui's face seemed to cover the entire night sky, staring down at him.
"Director Luo, don't be so loud. We just got down here and haven't started yet."
His voice sounded muffled because he was wearing a thick mask on his face.
But even so, the stench that penetrated the mask and went straight into the nose made Yi Chunlin and the young forensic doctor feel strongly uncomfortable.
In addition, in this space of less than ten square meters, the suffocating feeling of claustrophobia makes people feel a little trembling.
Yi Chunlin did not act in a hurry, but observed the surroundings first. The well wall was made of bluestone slabs, and small streams of water flowed out from the mossy cracks, and a crisp "tick-tick" sound was heard in his ears.
The young forensic doctor lacked experience and could not help swallowing his saliva. He said with a bitter face, "Brother Yi, let's move faster. I feel a little uncomfortable."
"Why? You've never been down a well?"
“I’ve never seen such a scene.”
"Then you have to learn more." Yi Chunlin said with the manner of a senior forensic doctor: "Have you heard of the Jiuling Coal Mine Case?"
"Of course I know that. The case that happened in Linjiang City last year was also solved by Director Luo. I heard that there were more than ten dead bodies hidden in the mine at that time?"
"We used eight pumps, not to mention cleaning out the waste and rocks inside. Let me tell you, today's scene is nothing."
The young medical examiner admired him and said, "You were also involved?"
"That's not the case..."
What the hell are you talking about... The young forensic doctor complained in his heart and couldn't help rolling his eyes.
"what……"
Yi Chunlin originally wanted to ease the tense atmosphere, but when he moved his left foot, he suddenly seemed to step on something soft.
If you step on it with a little force, it will make a "crunch" sound, just like stepping on a roasted sweet potato.
Of course there is no sound, but it is the touch coming from the soles of the feet.
Yi Chunlin knew that the thing was right under his feet!
He stood frozen in place, and when the young medical examiner saw his expression, he knew he had definitely been implicated, so he quickly shone his high-powered flashlight over there.
I saw the dirty water in front of Yi Chunlin constantly bubbling up!
Yi Chunlin's heart skipped a beat and he immediately bent down and reached down with both hands.
He submerged both arms in the water and tried to hold his breath to avoid the stench of sewage entering his nostrils.
The young forensic doctor didn't dare to breathe and his eyes were wide open.
Yi Chunlin held his breath, grabbed something with both hands, and then pulled it up with all his strength, but he just couldn't pull it up.
"No way!" Yi Chunlin exhaled and stretched his hands out of the water: "I can't pull it out."
"No, what did you touch?"
"Hands and arms!"
"I'll come down to help." The young forensic doctor wanted to get down from the hanging basket.
Yi Chunlin shook his head: "Tell them to lower the rope, I will tie up the corpse's arms and see if I can pull it out."
"But what if the bone is pulled out?"
"Where can we find such a complete body for autopsy? Besides, isn't the identity of the body very clear? It's not an unknown body, don't worry about it."
"Okay." The young forensic doctor quickly shouted upwards.
Soon, accompanied by the sound of pulleys, two ropes were lowered.
Yi Chunlin took one end of the rope and pulled it into the sewage.
He fiddled with his hands in the mud for a while, then pulled his legs out with difficulty and moved to the wall of the well: "Okay, drag it up."
Hearing this, the young forensic doctor shone the flashlight towards the wellhead and drew a circle.
When the people above saw his signal, the sound of pulleys was heard and the rope was tightened.
The sewage in the well kept bubbling, and with a "splash" of water, a pale corpse was pulled out from the bottom of the well.
Her long black hair was covered in mud and tangled like dry straw, and dirty water kept flowing down her hair.
The young forensic doctor shuddered with fear, and held on to the gap in the well wall with both hands to keep the hanging basket farther away.
At the same time, both of them held their breath. The disgusting stench was pervasive.
Yi Chunlin looked up and saw the swollen giant face.
The corpse had become a giant, with a strange shape and was confined in a narrow well, which was too scary.
The bulging eyes, like those of dead fish, stared blankly at Yi Chunlin, making him feel cold in his heart.
Until the body was pulled up, Yi Chunlin took a deep breath and said, "It's done. Let's continue."
Don't think that you can just drag the body up and leave it at that. You still have to search the bottom of the well carefully to prevent relevant evidence from falling.
The young forensic doctor let go of his grip on the rock wall, and the hanging basket swung to the other side. The strong flashlight in his hand also swayed...
After the body was dragged up, everyone standing by the well breathed a sigh of relief.
Four detectives from the Municipal Bureau wearing latex gloves placed the body on a white cloth and prepared to untie the ropes.
More than a dozen flashlights were immediately shone on the body. Fortunately, the weather was not too hot at the time of the crime and the temperature had been low recently, so the rotten flesh did not fall off.
Luo Rui looked at Feng Jianqiu: "How is it, is it Zhang Jing?"
Given the current condition of the body, even if Zhang Jing's parents were called over, they might not be able to recognize it.
Feng Jianqiu sighed, "It's definitely her. Jiang Mei once confessed that when Zhang Jing disappeared, her pajamas were missing. The pink pajamas on the body belonged to Zhang Jing."
Lin Chen hid behind the crowd, took a quick look, and then turned his head away: "How pitiful! If we hadn't investigated the murder case, I don't know how long this girl would have stayed in this well."
Hearing her words, the Yonghe City police and Feng Jianqiu felt a little embarrassed, but the fact was true. If it was really classified as a missing case...
But Cai Xiaojing shook her head: "It won't be long. As soon as the weather gets hot, the residents who drink water from this well will definitely find that the water quality is not right. As long as they go up the mountain to check, the body will be discovered."
“Oh…” Lin Chen said sarcastically, “That might even be on the news. On a certain day of a certain month, a female corpse was found in a certain well. The residents have been drinking well water for years…”
If this is true, it must be explosive news, and the people of Yonghe City will probably pay attention to it.
When Feng Jianqiu thought of this, he felt a chill down his spine.
He looked at Luo Rui, who was squatting beside the corpse, observing it intently.
"Director Luo..."
Feng Jianqiu wanted to say some words of thanks, but he suddenly heard a shout coming from the bottom of the well.
Before he could react, Luo Rui had already run to the wellhead and looked down.
Yi Chunlin's shout came from the bottom of the well, echoing in everyone's ears: "Quickly lower the rope, there is a body at the bottom of the well!"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, as if they had heard it wrongly.
Feng Jianqiu almost couldn't stand still, and wanted to dive into the well...
--------------
Chengbei Bus Station, inside the monitoring room.
Chu Yang and Sun Zhihao called the police from the local police station and formed three teams to continuously replay the surveillance footage from different angles in the station.
Fortunately, the time of the crime was confirmed, which was just after 8 o'clock in the evening on December 3rd, which reduced a lot of trouble.
The reason for choosing this time is that according to the testimony of residents of Baita Community, one of the elderly people confessed that at eight o'clock in the evening of the 3rd, he heard a shouting coming from downstairs, but he did not hear it clearly.
There are only two households on the first floor. Apart from Jiang Mei, the other house has been vacant and uninhabited for a long time.
Jiang Mei was not at home at the time, and Zhang Jing was the only one living on the first floor.
The suspect dragged a suitcase from Baita Community to Chengbei Bus Station and avoided surveillance. The distance is two kilometers, plus the time when the body was dumped, so it is speculated that the suspect most likely fled on a long-distance bus after that.
But the station manager said that if it is not during the Spring Festival and summer vacation, the passenger flow is lower at other times and the station has stopped operating after 10 o'clock in the evening.
They checked the schedule for the evening of the 3rd and indeed no bus left the station.
"Brother Yang, we checked all the surveillance videos from the morning of the 4th, but found no suspects who fit the bill. What should we do now?" Sun Zhihao asked.
Chu Yang stared at the surveillance video at the entrance to the station. The surveillance at the station was too old, and the figures were blurry, making it impossible to tell who was who.
"What do you think?" Chu Yang asked for his opinion.
Although he had not read Sun Zhihao's resume, Lin Chen quietly revealed some information. Before Sun Zhihao came to the provincial department, he was the deputy captain of the brigade under the Qingyang City Detachment. Not only that, his father was the deputy director, in charge of criminal investigation.
Although Chu Yang did not have much resistance to these children of high-ranking officials, if the other party was incompetent and only relied on his family background to get to the top, Chu Yang would make him put himself in a clear position. In the provincial department's homicide task force, it was okay to fill in the numbers, but it was best not to make decisions and interfere with his thinking on the case.
In addition to Chu Yang's thoughts, Fang Yonghui also thought so, and the new Zhuo Yong followed him.
Seeing that Chu Yang wanted to test him, Sun Zhihao hesitated for a moment and replied, "This is what I think. First, we need to determine whether the suspect has escaped by car..."
Chu Yang immediately interrupted him: "How can you be sure?"
Sun Zhihao was rebuked, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "Brother Yang, listen to me. What I mean is, will the suspect deliberately create confusion? He can think of avoiding surveillance, which means he has a certain anti-detection ability. Wouldn't he deliberately lead our police to the station to create the illusion of absconding?"
Chu Yang took out the eye drops and dripped them into his eyelids while asking him, "What is your basis?"
"suitcase."
Hearing this, Chu Yang immediately stopped what he was doing and turned to look at him: "You mean the suspect threw the suitcase into the canal on purpose for us to find it?"
"Isn't this possible?" Sun Zhihao came close to him and said, "Think about it, it's so convenient to throw the body in a suitcase. Why bother taking the body out?"
At this moment, the two men did not know that the body had been found and were salvaging it from the bottom of the well.
“No…” Chu Yang took a breath: “Did you like to think about complicated issues when solving cases before?”
"Uh……"
"Then tell me, why did the suspect want to lure us in? He killed someone and didn't run away, and he wanted to tease us police officers? Isn't he too bold?"
Sun Zhihao touched the back of his head and couldn't answer.
Chu Yang said: "Let me tell you, there is a prerequisite first. If we find the body near the abandoned suitcase, it proves that what you said is nonsense. The body was dumped to avoid being discovered. The suspect cannot be so bold.
If it is true as you said, that he wanted to mislead our investigation, then the body must not be in the mountains, it may be somewhere else.
If you want to understand the situation, call the team right now and ask about it."
Sun Zhihao licked his lips and said, "Then should I call and ask?"
"Go ahead and fight. I won't stop you."
Sun Zhihao took out his cell phone, thought for a moment, and dialed Qiao Xue's number.
After the call was connected, he put it to his ear and asked, "Sister Qiao, has the body been found?"
"What? There are two bodies in the well?" Sun Zhihao was shocked.
Chu Yang, who was standing by, heard this and quickly leaned over to his phone.
Listening to the content on the phone, Sun Zhihao nodded immediately: "I know, we are investigating, I understand..."
Afterwards, the call was hung up, and Sun Zhihao looked at Chu Yang in a daze.
Chu Yang sighed: "It has been upgraded to a major case, a serial murder case. I will be busy now."
Sun Zhihao exhaled and humbly asked, "So how do we check now?"
Chu Yang held the eye drops bottle, thought for a long time, and then said: "The people in the North City Station are complicated. No one can remember each other's faces when they meet each other. Besides, the surveillance is also very fuzzy, and it is very difficult to investigate. We are not strong enough, so we need to find someone to help.
The suspect chose to dump the body in a well on the mountain, which means he was familiar with the place. This could be divided into two situations: the suspect either lived in this area, or he fled by car.
After 10 o'clock in the evening, the station stops operating, and the suspect has only three options. First, he can wait until dawn and take a bus to escape. It is also possible that he did not enter the station at all, but waited on the roadside to buy a ticket.
Second, he chose a black car and left in it. You don't need an ID card to take a black car, so this is the most likely possibility.
Third, if he escaped on the morning of the 4th, he might stay overnight in a hotel or wait outside the station.
Upon hearing this, Sun Zhihao immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother Yang, your analysis makes sense. I'll call someone over right away."
Chu Yang nodded, leaned forward, dragged the mouse, and continued to replay the surveillance video.
Half an hour later, Fang Yonghui and Zhang Yong arrived at the station with police officers from the Municipal Bureau, no less than thirty people in total.
Seeing this, Sun Zhihao was shocked: "So many people coming?"
Fang Yonghui glanced at him and said, "The two bodies have alarmed the senior officials of the Municipal Bureau. I heard that after Li Xu and Li Detachment received the call, they got up from their beds in the middle of the night and are now staying up by the well."
Chu Yang stretched and asked, "Yonghui, how is your investigation going?"
Fang Yonghui shook his head: "I have checked all the supermarkets and shops around Baita Community, and no one bought 84 disinfectant during the day and night of the rd.
The suspect either went to a distant place to buy this thing, or this matter is related to Peng Tao. The 84 disinfectant found in his home is being extracted for chemical composition. If it matches, this kid will be in big trouble. "
Chu Yang stood up and said to everyone, "Let's divide the work into three teams. I will lead the team to check the surveillance here.
One team will check hotels and shops to see if there are any suspicious persons; another team will check the drivers of illegal taxis and motorcycles outside. They must check every one of them. If anyone misses one, they will be held responsible later. "
"Understood!" Everyone answered in unison and walked into the darkness outside the station.
--------------
Stations are generally built in locations with easy access, and the North City Bus Station is no exception.
Even though it is past two in the morning, you can still see illegal taxi drivers and motorcycle drivers soliciting passengers outside the station, as well as many people holding signs with the word "Accommodation" written on them. As long as someone passes by them, they will want to grab your hand and drag you to stay in their hotel.
Zhuo Yong followed Fang Yonghui shoulder to shoulder and complained: "Brother Hui, how can we investigate? We don't even know the suspect's height and appearance. No one knows who we ask."
Not only him, others were also secretly complaining. It was already early in the morning and the weather was cold. Who could endure it?
Fang Yonghui took out two cigarettes and handed him one: "I'll tell you a trick."
Zhuo Yong took the cigarette and helped Fang Yonghui light it, saying humbly, "Please teach me."
Fang Yonghui took a puff of cigarette to drive away the cold air, and replied: "Come with me."
Afterwards, Fang Yonghui took him to the main road leading into the mountain. It was a slope, and going up this side would lead into the mountain, which was the top of the mountain where Luo Rui and the others were now.
Fang Yonghui turned around and looked at the station below the slope and the path that forked on the right.
The main road leads directly to the station. There are shops on both sides of the small road, including restaurants, convenience stores, hotels, etc., but most of the shops are closed.
"What are we doing?" Zhang Yong blinked, unable to figure out what was going on.
Fang Yonghui kept his eyes on the fork in the road, then threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with the sole of his shoe: "It's too cold, let's go back to the car and take a nap, and talk about it in the morning."
"Uh..." Zhang Yong blinked, wondering if he had heard wrongly: "Brother Hui, everyone else is busy, it's not a good idea for us to sleep, right?"
"Just listen to me. There's no one on the road at this time. Why are you looking for ghosts?"
Fang Yonghui didn't say anything more to him and walked down the slope by himself.
Zhang Yong was helpless, but he couldn't really go to sleep. When Fang Yonghui got into the car, he hesitated and said, "Brother Hui, you take a rest first. I'll go help the others."
"Whatever you want to do." Fang Yonghui was too lazy to care about him. He closed the car door, folded his arms, and began to sleep soundly.
It was not until six in the morning, when it was just dawn, that Zhuo Yong came to the car listlessly with dark circles under his eyes.
Fang Yonghui had already woken up. After opening the car door, he saw his appearance and said with a smile, "How is the investigation going? Any news?"
Zhuo Yong shook his head: "Nothing was found. I just went to the station monitoring room, and Sun Zhihao and his team found nothing either."
"What about the mountain?"
"Director Luo and the others haven't come down yet..."
"Okay, go call some people and follow me." Fang Yonghui ordered.
After a while, a dozen people came to the fork in the road. At this time, there were already many pedestrians on the road, and breakfast shops and restaurants were already open for business.
Fang Yonghui looked at the tired-looking policemen, clapped his hands vigorously, and encouraged them: "Everyone cheer up, listen to me, look around, this is the fork in the road going down the mountain.
I checked it in the early morning. There are the least surveillance cameras here, and there are more trees on both sides, unlike the main road near the bus station, which has surveillance cameras on both sides.
Our technical team has been watching the surveillance for a whole day and night, but we haven't found the suspect who dumped the body. Does that mean the suspect hid from the surveillance?"
Fang Yonghui pointed to the mountain road behind him and said, "After the suspect dumped the body, he came down from this side. There are only two roads here. Which road do you think he took?"
When Zhang Yong heard this, he immediately understood: "Could it be that we have been searching the wrong direction for the whole night?"
Fang Yonghui ignored him: "Go in from this fork in the road and check every store, especially those who stayed overnight or ate after 9 or 10 pm on the 3rd. Make sure to ask them clearly!
Let's focus on the investigation. The suspect dragged the body in the suitcase for two kilometers and then went into the mountains to dump the body. This required a lot of energy and physical strength.
Even if we do heavy physical work, will we feel hungry? Thirsty? Want to take a break? Or buy a pack of cigarettes to calm down?
No matter who it is, after killing someone and dumping the body, they will inevitably feel nervous and behave strangely. Let's follow this direction and follow this path to the end!"
"I understand..." Everyone answered weakly. Although they knew that what Fang Yonghui said was very likely, they did not have the energy to keep up.
But the work has to go on and we can't give up.
Then, everyone dispersed to both sides of the road, went into the shops and started their visit.
This continued for two hours, but nothing was achieved.
At first, Fang Yonghui was full of confidence, but as he watched the visiting police officers almost reach the end of the road, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he became more and more worried.
Zhang Yong glanced at him from time to time, which made Fang Yonghui even more uneasy.
That's what Luo Da taught me. I've learned a lot from following him to solve cases over the years. Why can't it work for me? This guy is so pretentious, he failed, and he even had the audacity to sleep. Isn't this ridiculous?
...Fang Yonghui kept complaining in his heart, blaming himself for not discussing it with Luo Rui in advance.
No, there must be something wrong!
By the way, two bodies were fished out of the well. This is not the first time the suspect has killed someone. His mental quality is better than I imagined!
This is it! It's definitely the right one!
Fang Yonghui hurriedly took out his cell phone and wanted to ask Luo Rui for his opinion.
But suddenly, he saw a policeman running up to him in a hurry, waving his arms...
