Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 136: Passing geese leave a sound, passing people leave traces

Facing the police officer's eyes that seemed to see through everything, the driver lowered his head as if he was guilty and dared not look at him, hesitatingly saying:

"I took his money."

In the room next to the interrogation room, Yu Dazhang and other team members looked at each other. This was a new situation.

If the driver is telling the truth, then the two corpse movers who were on the bus are more likely suspects.

Without Da Zhang saying anything, other team members stepped forward and wanted to capture the two corpse movers.

In the interrogation room, the questioning continued.

"How much did the corpse mover named Li Tao pay you?"

"Twenty thousand."

Now that he had started to confess, the driver no longer put up any resistance and answered whatever the interrogators asked.

When Yu Dazhang heard this amount, he couldn't help but frown.

He originally thought that this was a case of corpse theft, but as the case developed to this point, he felt that this was the only possibility.

But this amount is too much.

The bodies of four adults are worth at most thirty thousand points, not including the transportation cost.

It cost twenty thousand just to win over a corpse truck driver.

There are more than 10,000 left. How many thousand should each of the two corpse movers get?
Taking such a big risk just for a few thousand dollars?
It’s not worth it.

Stealing corpses is a criminal offense. If you steal four corpses at one time, you will definitely go to jail and receive a heavy sentence.

I thought it was too simple... Yu Dazhang suddenly realized that he had underestimated this case.

"What did they do behind the car?" asked the team member in charge of the interrogation.

"I don't know." The driver said, and seeing the interrogating police officer staring at him, he quickly defended himself:

"Before they got off the bus, they specifically told me not to get off the bus no matter what happened."

The interrogator was thinking about what to ask next, and Yu Dazhang picked up the microphone and reminded him:

"Is there anything unusual about where they parked their car? Or is there anything different from other sections of the road?"

Upon hearing this, the team member recounted the incident to the driver.

The driver's eyes were blank, as if he was lost in his memories.

After a moment, he said with some uncertainty:

"When I parked the car, I saw a minivan, a flat-head van. The car was turned off, so I didn't pay much attention to it."

"Did you park your car in front of or behind the van?" the interrogator asked.

This time the driver did not hesitate and said affirmatively:
"I parked in front of that car. The corpse mover named Li Tao told me to park like that."

Yu Dazhang checked the time, picked up the microphone and said:
"Stop for now."

Regardless of whether what the driver said was true or false, there is no practical significance in continuing the trial.

The case now points to a clear culprit: the two corpse movers.

Especially the one named Li Tao, he was the one directing the driver the whole time.

In Dazhang's opinion, there is another illogical point.

Do corpse movers have channels to sell corpses?

Assuming they can really contact the buyer, it would be foolish to target the morgue.

The police will definitely get to the bottom of this matter, and the family members will not give up easily.

It would be too risky to do something so big for the first time.

The next day.

The team tracking down the body will report first.

After the four bodies left the morgue, the line was temporarily disconnected.

According to surveillance information, after leaving the morgue, the bodies all went to the southwest corner of the hospital.

Since there is a small forest there, the surveillance does not cover that area.

Based on the on-site investigation, the team members found the footprints of the four bodies.

What’s strange is that when following the direction of the footprints, it was found that the bodies all left the woods from one direction.

But afterwards, the surveillance cameras at the various gates did not detect them again.

It was as if they were still in the hospital.

"It's a very thorough plan."

After listening to the report, Yu Dazhang narrowed his eyes, pondered for a while, and asked:
"Has the technical department conducted an investigation?" "No." The team member shook his head:

"The technical department has not been notified yet."

In fact, in their opinion, there was no need to continue exploring the grove.

The four bodies did disappear from there, but they were just passing by there.

At most, it would just leave traces, and continuing the investigation would be a waste of time.

"Call the technical department and we'll go together." Yu Dazhang gave the order.

"Yes." The team member responded and made arrangements immediately.

Half an hour later.

In the grove behind the Qingpu Hospital morgue.

Technical staff began collecting footprints in the woods.

Yu Dazhang stood at the edge of the woods, his eyes scanning the trunks of every tree.

"That tree." He suddenly pointed to a tree in the center of the forest and said:
"Go look under that tree."

Two technical staff members immediately followed the direction of Yu Dazhang's finger and came to the tree.

After a moment, one of them said:
"The footprints here are concentrated and dense, indicating that someone stayed here for a long time."

"How many people's footprints are there?" Yu Dazhang asked.

The technical staff quickly replied:
"Four."

That's right... Yu Dazhang spoke again:

"There is a mark on the trunk, about 1.5 meters from the ground."

Are there any marks from strangulation?
The two technical staff members took a look at Yu Dazhang's location and estimated that he was at least ten meters away from the tree.

Can you see the marks on the tree trunk from such a distance?

What kind of eyesight is this!
The trunk of a tree is different from the wall, it is covered with bark.

Not to mention the marks from being bruised, even if a piece of bark fell off, it would be difficult to spot from such a distance.

Although the two had doubts in their hearts, they did not speak them out.

They stared at the location of the tree trunk and searched bit by bit.

"Really? This, this, this..."

At the same time, they both found a mark of strangulation about 1.5 meters from the ground, and the bark on it had signs of slight peeling.

It's like being strangled by a rubber band.

"Can you tell what was strangling him?" Yu Dazhang asked loudly.

"Wait a moment." After checking it, the technical staff replied:

"An object that has flexibility, but the degree of flexibility is low, and has the characteristic of gravity pulling downward."

"You can eliminate the rope."

"Things like belts can also be ruled out."

"Gravity pulls downward..."

Another technical staff member suddenly remembered something and immediately said:
"It looks like it was strangled by soft plastic. I know it's a plastic bag!"

"The weight must be at least five kilograms to cause such marks."

When a wild goose passes by, it leaves its voice behind; when a person passes by, he leaves his traces behind... Yu Dazhang nodded with satisfaction.

It’s exactly the same as what I inferred.

No matter how careful the other party is or how thorough their plans are, as long as they have stayed in a place, they will definitely leave traces.

People don't disappear out of thin air.

The corpse will not run away on its own.

Everything is just man-made design.

It was indeed a bit clever... Yu Dazhang had to admit that although the other party's design was crude, he did put some thought into it.

It gave him the feeling that he was a very smart person who, under time constraints, came up with a desperate solution.

There was shrewdness in the haste.

"How did you come up with this?" Yu Dazhang muttered to himself:
"Do you think the police are fools?"
