Not a corpse?

Oolong?

The hot air at noon was like the hot air from an oven, but when it blew over Shen Ting, he seemed unaware of it.

"Director Sun, that skeleton isn't a corpse, what is it?"

“The frogman said the main part was scaffolding for construction.

The surface was covered with mud and rotten leaves and bark.

Therefore, from a distance, it looks like a human skeleton with flesh hanging on it.

But up close, you can tell something is wrong.”

Sun Dehua sighed:

"The frogmen said that the scaffolding was buried very deep in the mud and was difficult to dig out, so they needed to use large machinery.

But the cave has limited space and machinery cannot enter.

He took a video of the 'skeleton', probably meaning to let me see it, and after confirming that it was not a skeleton, cancel the salvage mission directly.

Team Leader Shen, I'll send you a copy of the video, take a look at it too!"

"no problem!"

The video came quickly, and Shen Ting uploaded it directly to the case-solving group.

Qin Ming: "If you look closely, it's definitely not a skeleton.

It's too straight, and the curvature of the bones, the changes in thickness, and so on, are all missing from this object."

Oh well!

If Qin Ming says it is not, then it is definitely not.

"This case is not easy to handle!"

The bloodstains in the factory area did not belong to Wang Fuzhong, and they did not match the real owner.

The "skeleton" in the puddle is another oolong...

"The idea of ​​using the skeleton to identify the deceased has been aborted.

However, the murderer came to the mining area specifically to burn the body, and he must have thought that the mine was suitable for disposing of the body.

So, the body must still be in a mine somewhere, we just found the wrong one."

Chen Ting thought about it, and while comforting Director Sun, he encouraged him and asked him to lead the men to continue searching in the suspicious pits that had been circled before.

After hanging up the phone and breathing a sigh of relief, Shen Ting's phone suddenly rang again.

His heart ached.

So far, there has been no real good news in this case.

?(???)

Shen Ting looked at the caller ID and saw it was a DNA laboratory.

Burning the bloodstains, any results?

He quickly connected:

"Director Ma, have you found anything about the bloodstains in the mine?"

“Got it!”

Director Ma's voice was obviously more suspicious than last time:

“Well, Team Leader Shen, this is another unexpected result.

Didn’t we say before that the bloodstains from the burning were most likely the same as the bloodstains at the factory, and belonged to the same person?

But DNA testing revealed that it was not.

The owner of the burning bloodstains was Wang Fuzhong."

ah?

Are the bloodstains here from Wang Fuzhong?

Shen Ting turned and looked at the burning ground not far away, which was protected by a barrier, and was also a little surprised.

This result was something he had not expected.

certainly!

This is naturally possible.

Although the bloodstains from the factory and mine burns were all O-type blood and appeared at a similar time, no one stipulated that they must have come from one person.

It’s just that in one case, two people with type O blood appeared in the same area, so the probability that they belonged to the same person was higher.

What's more, injuring people in factories and burning and dumping corpses in mines are relatively common operations.

but!

The development of this case has obviously exceeded the norm!

The members of the crime-solving group were also very surprised.

Kiko: "So, our previous inference about the case is problematic again?

(???) ”

Guan Hongfeng: “There are problems for sure.

However, there is no need to overturn everything, just make some minor adjustments.”

Conan: "That's right!

The murderer's motive was to make money, which is most likely related to the rare earth trade. There is no problem with this core point.

The problem lies in the details.

The previous two speculations were basically about who killed whom, the rare earth buyer, Wang Fuzhong, or his collaborators.

Now, it has been confirmed that there are two dead people, no, three!

Wang Fuzhong was killed more than 20 days ago, so the person who asked Zhou Xiaoxiao to go to Guojiadian 17 days ago must not be him.

It is highly likely that the murderer wants to silence the witness.

The body search at Guojiadian will eventually have to be carried out."

Chen Yi: "As for the current case, there are two possibilities!

One possibility is that rare earth sellers are fighting among themselves for profit.

Wang Fuzhong probably had more than two collaborators.

The other collaborators killed Wang Fuzhong and the owner of the bloodstains in the factory area and pocketed the profits.

The second possibility is that the buyer killed Wang Fuzhong and his collaborators.

only!

Considering that Wang Fuzhong's wife was also murdered, the first scenario is more likely."

Jigsaw: “So, the previously determined line of investigation can continue.

The only thing to add is to go to Guojiadian and look for recent changes.

Try to find the place where Zhou Xiaoxiao was killed.

We may be able to find more clues about the murderer at the scene of the crime."

Shen Ting nodded. It was naturally a good thing that there was no need to make too many changes.

However, an idea suddenly came to him.

If Wang Fuzhong and his wife were killed, then the fact that they were deceived into going to Myanmar was obviously a smokescreen by the murderer.

To prevent the police from investigating the rare earth trade due to their sudden disappearance.

In this case, the deceased at the factory who also suddenly disappeared should have been set up with smoke bombs to conceal his whereabouts, right?!

"Investigating the recent disappearances of people working in the rare earth industry in Cangshui City may help us identify the deceased in the factory area."

Shen Ting thought this method was good and sent people to investigate.

Investigations in all directions are being carried out in an orderly manner.

However, progress has been slow.

It wasn't until around seven in the evening that relevant news came in one after another...
