The Tragedy of Art vs. Child Trafficking (Part 9)

The Tragedy of Art vs. Child Trafficking (Part 9)

The scene where Jiang Xia was murdered was not found, there was no clue about Ge Lei's death, and another incident happened. Xiao Dongliang's head was about to explode.

This time the body was found in a dilapidated building. The residents had all moved out, and when workers went in to demolish the building, they found an old man leaning against the wall. Just like the Jiang Xia case, they initially thought it was a joke and asked him to leave, but he didn't move. Someone went up and pushed him, and he fell straight to the ground.

The workers then realized that the person was dead, and quickly reported it to the contractor, who then hurriedly called the police.

The scene has been destroyed, so there is no need to collect samples. The old man was a man, holding a handful of golden wheat ears in his arms, wearing a light blue sweatshirt, navy blue pants, and a straw hat on his head.

The old man's fingers were very rough, his fingernails were cut very short, and there was no mud in the gaps between his nails, they were very clean. His face was full of wrinkles, his skin was so old that only the skin was hanging on his bones, and there was a smile at the corners of his mouth. The eyes were open, but without the light, no face could be reflected in the pupils.

A large piece of wheat straw was spread under him, and next to him were two unsealed bags, revealing the golden wheat inside. There was a note stuck in the wheat. This time the murderer didn't even hide.

Xiao Dongliang picked up the note - not fun, not fun, too slow, and still no punctuation marks, but Xiao Dongliang could read the murderer's disgust from the repeated words. His self-esteem was hurt. As a detachment leader, he was actually despised by a murderer!

Deng Yu stretched his neck to take a look and said with a click of the tongue, "This murderer is too arrogant!"

"Don't blame him for being so arrogant. Three people are dead and we don't have any clues."

"It's a pity that Forensic Doctor Shen is not here, otherwise he could give us some ideas for solving the case."

Xiao Dongliang looked at him in confusion. Deng Yu said, "Every time the Second Detachment encountered a bottleneck in solving a case, Gu Fang would go to see Forensic Doctor Shen. With just a little guidance from Forensic Doctor Shen, the case would be solved."

Xiao Dongliang raised his eyebrows, "So amazing?"

"I don't know if it's a god or not, but everyone is spreading it."

Xiao Dongliang touched his chin, thinking about the feasibility.

Bao Wu and An Xin examined the body and said, "Just like the previous two cases, the deceased had been electrocuted before his death. His body showed signs of suffocation and he had been dead for more than 12 hours. We will know the rest after the autopsy."

Guan Shu ran over and said, "The workers said they didn't know when the body was there. They were notified by the contractor today to come and dismantle it. They have never seen this person before."

Xiao Dongliang: "If the first two dead were related to painting, then what about this person? His hands are so rough, how can he hold a pen? Fang Xiang, go and identify the dead!"

Xiangfang was squatting on the ground looking at the body. He looked up when he heard this and said, "Captain Xiao, I noticed that his nails were just trimmed and there are still burrs on them."

Xiao Dongliang picked up the dead man's hand and said, "Indeed, it's strange. Who would cut their nails before dying?"

"Could it be the murderer?" Xiangfang said, "The murderer has an extreme pursuit of aesthetics. Maybe in his perception, the dead are too dirty and it is a blasphemy to the work."

"You are right. The murderer showed a leisurely attitude from beginning to end during the killing process. In his eyes, this is not killing, but the pursuit of art."

"Then he needs a space where he can relax and kill."

"This is definitely a place the murderer is most familiar with."

“At home or at work, I heard that Forensic Doctor Shen is very good at geographical profiling, why not ask her to help make one?”

It came back to Shen Xingyan. Xiao Dongliang sighed, "I'll take care of this. You go check the identity of the deceased."

…

Shen Xingyan didn't know if she would be followed, so she decided to be cautious and go to Lingshan alone. Gu Fang was not willing to agree, so he hid it from her and asked Qiu Ming to pretend to be a tourist and follow quietly.

According to his memory, Shen Xingyan found the Temple of the God of Wealth, walked to the main hall, then to the back door and entered the room.

The abbot was still beating the wooden fish, not at all surprised by her arrival, as if he had expected her to come.

Shen Xingyan said, "Aunt Qian was arrested by the police. She asked me to give this to you and told you to be careful of the police."

"She was arrested after all." The abbot did not show any sadness. He opened his eyes and said, "Come closer."

Shen Xingyan took a few steps closer, holding the yellow beeswax in his hand.

The abbot took the beeswax from her hand, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, his hand stayed briefly in Shen Xingyan's palm. The moment their skin touched, his face trembled noticeably.

Shen Xingyan frowned and said nothing.

The abbot looked at the name of Mrs. Qian on the beeswax, a meaningful smile appeared on his lips, and he raised his hand and threw the beeswax out the door.

Shen Xingyan was surprised, "No more?"

"The person is already useless, what's the point of keeping this thing?"

Shen Xingyan lowered his eyes and sneered in his heart. In his eyes, Mrs. Qian and others were not even as good as chess pieces.

The abbot laughed again, "Mrs. Qian, I'll give you this line."

"Give it to me?" Shen Xingyan was surprised.

"Yes, have you ever been to Mrs. Qian's house? As long as you follow me and work hard, you will have everything she has."

Shen Xingyan immediately showed a surprised expression, "Really?"

“But you have to be trained.”

"Training?"

"I will train you personally." The abbot looked her up and down, and that look made Shen Xingyan extremely uncomfortable. She tried not to get angry and asked in confusion, "When is the training? I kept it a secret from my man."

"You're married?" The abbot was a little surprised. "Tell your man that you've found a job and come to see me here at nine tomorrow morning."

"Okay, do you need to bring anything?"

"Dress nicely."

Shen Xingyan cursed inwardly, this hooligan! She laughed dryly and said, "This is the only one I have."

"It doesn't matter. When I make money in the future, I can buy a lot of nice clothes."

When Shen Xingyan walked out of the door, she found that her back was covered in sweat. She hurried down the mountain, made sure that no one was following her, and got on the bus. The car was not going back to Miaoqian Street, but to the Academy of Fine Arts.

Zhong Jiaoren was waiting for her and painted a portrait of the abbot according to her description. Shen Xingyan put away the portrait and hurried back to Miaoqian Street.

Gu Fang had returned and was cooking. Jiang Xuyao ​​was chattering beside him, talking about his relationship with Lu Sancai. These days he has gained Lu Sancai's trust, and Sancai has revealed the situation at home bit by bit.

It turned out that Lu Sheng's wife had epilepsy and would have attacks from time to time. But her family was poor and couldn't afford medicine, so she could only endure it on her own.

Shen Xingyan came in and just heard, "People with severe epilepsy cannot have children." She looked at Gu Fang, "You are doubting..."

Gu Fang nodded, and Shen Xingyan thought of Lu Sancai's appearance and understood.

Jiang Xuyao ​​looked at them and said with disdain, "Another guess."

Gu Fang touched his head and said, "You'll understand when you grow up."

Shen Xingyan handed the portrait to Gu Fang, "This is the person." Gu Fang was surprised when he saw the portrait, "How could it be him?!"

"You know him?"

"One year I went to Xincheng Police Station to investigate a murder case and met him. He was working as an auxiliary police officer at the station at that time. He said he wanted to be a police officer, but he gave up after failing the exam several times.

The director said that he was very hardworking, taught himself a lot, and had his own insights into murder cases. No wonder these people refused to speak no matter how they were interrogated. He understood the interrogation process and knew our routine. With just a little training and brainwashing, they would become as firm as a rock.

But I don’t understand why a good auxiliary police officer would go down this path. The portrait must be taken back to the Municipal Bureau and asked Qiu Ming to investigate. ”

…

The Municipal Bureau was in chaos. Jiang Xia's parents arrived and saw their daughter crying bitterly in the morgue.

Xiao Dongliang sent people to appease the people while listening to Xiangfang's report. The deceased was an old scavenger who had some mental problems and often hung out in the area around South Bridge, which was a dozen minutes' drive from the building where the body was found.

An Xin brought the autopsy report and the cause of death of the old man was determined to be carbon monoxide poisoning. He had eaten beef, tomatoes and other foods before his death, and died about half an hour after the meal.

Before the old man died, he had undergone a thorough cleaning and scraped off all the hair on his body except his head, including pubic hair. The clothes he was wearing were old, but they had been washed before wearing, and the scent of soap still lingered.

"Ge Lei didn't drink a drop of water before his death, and he even suffered from dehydration, but he was well fed and well drunk. They both killed people, so why is there such a big difference?" No one answered, because no one understood. Xiao Dongliang continued: "Has there been any changes in Ge Lei's account?"

"No, the murderer's purpose seems to be just to kill people. However, according to your suggestion, we re-inspected Room 1801 and found residual dandruff and hair in the bathtub. After submitting it to the forensic doctor for examination, it was found that the dandruff belonged to Ge Lei.

Ge Lei was once tied in the closet, so how did he end up in the bathtub? The hotel staff said that since the guest called and said that cleaning was not allowed, no one had gone to Room 1801, so there was no possibility of hiding. ”

Xiao Dongliang smiled bitterly, "Maybe what Gu Fang said was right. It's not certain whether Jiang Xia or Ge Lei will die first."

"What's the meaning?"

"It means that Ge Lei's body may have been frozen. Forensic Doctor Bao also said that there is something strange about Ge Lei's body. The degree of decay of his internal organs does not match the changes on the surface of the body. Maybe it was because he was frozen."

"Why? Why freeze Ge Lei when you can just kill him?"

"Perhaps something unexpected happened and the murderer had to kill him."

Xiangfang scratched his head, "Why is it getting more and more complicated?"

Xiao Dongliang stared at the empty space and said, "Give me all the information."

He paused for a moment and then hurried on to get busy.

Xiao Dongliang staggered to the Second Detachment. Qiu Minggang found out from the internal system that the auxiliary police officer was named Xu Laifu, who was fired in 1993 for dereliction of duty. He immediately contacted the Xincheng Police Station, which quickly faxed over Xu Laifu's information.

Xu Laifu, male, 32 years old, joined Xincheng Police Station as an auxiliary police officer in March 1992. He has always performed excellently during his tenure, participated in several major cases, and received commendations.

Unfortunately, in October 1993, while on duty, he received a call about a missing person, but he failed to report it in time, which led to the death of the missing person and he was fired from the police station.

After that, Xu Lai Fu made a living by doing odd jobs. In September 1994, he suddenly disappeared and there has been no news of him since.

Qiu Ming was about to sync the message to Gu Fang when he suddenly found Xiao Dongliang sitting at the desk.

Qiu Ming: "Captain Xiao, is there anything wrong?"

Xiao Dongliang put on a self-righteous smile and asked, "Are you going to look for Captain Gu?"

Qiu Ming:?

Xiao Dongliang: "I heard that they worked so hard on the case that they couldn't even afford to eat. Tsk tsk, so pitiful..."

"What's your matter?"

"It's nothing serious, just expressing my condolences."

Sympathy? As if he were stupid, "I want to thank Captain Xiao for his concern on behalf of Captain Gu."

"That won't work. I have to express my condolences in person to show my sincerity."

Qiu Ming stared at him, "What on earth do you want to do?"

"To express condolences." Xiao Dongliang shrugged, his eyes as innocent as a little rabbit.

Qiu Ming: I believe your ghost!

He walked around him to make a phone call. Xiao Dongliang stared at his back and glanced at the documents on the table.

That night, a motorcycle drove towards the west of the city. The car was driving very fast and the engine was buzzing. The man in the car was wearing a full-face helmet and a black leather jacket. The motorcycle lights slid out arcs in the darkness.

As the car entered Miaoqianjie Village, the engine immediately caused dogs to bark, the sounds coming one after another. We stopped in front of a house and turned off the engine. The man parked the motorcycle and took off his helmet. He looked at the dilapidated wooden door, picked up his helmet, and started banging on it.

"Who is it?" an angry voice came from inside.

"Me! You kidnapped my sister and thought I couldn't find you by running here! Open the door!"

The lights in the room came on, and Gu Fang came out cursing, "Who kidnapped your sister? She came with me willingly!"

The two were talking so loudly that some curious people turned on the lights and walked into the yard to watch the fun. Lu Sheng, who lived two households away, was the first to stick his head out, with an expression as if he was watching a show.

"Nonsense! What else do you have besides a good-looking face? Your family is so poor!" Xiao Dongliang pushed Gu Fang away and walked inside with his helmet in hand. "Yanyan, come back with me. Your parents miss you!"

Shen Xingyan in the room twitched his mouth. What was going on?

Gu Fang glanced at the motorcycle at the door, then turned around and saw Xiao Dongliang's sexy leather jacket and leather pants, and his temples couldn't stop throbbing.

Xiao Dongliang shouted at him: "Push my motorcycle in!"

Gu Fang glared at him, went to push the cart, and seeing people coming out to watch the fun, he said, "It's okay, it's okay. My brother-in-law is here." He pushed the cart in and locked the door.

The busybody was disappointed and went back with his head down.

Gu Fang ran into the house and saw Shen Xingyan sitting in the main room, half asleep.

Jiang Xuyao ​​poked his head out of the bedroom and looked Xiao Dongliang up and down.

Gu Fang pressed his head and said, "Go to sleep. It's none of your business." Jiang Xuyao ​​curled his lips and hid it from him again. Gu Fang closed the bedroom door, picked up a small stool, and sat down with his arms and legs folded. "What's the matter, Captain Xiao? It's the middle of the night, can't you let me rest?"

"That's right." Shen Xingyan covered her mouth and yawned loudly, "I have to get up early tomorrow."

"I know you are working hard on this mission, so I came here to express my condolences." He put a bag of food on the ground.

Gu Fang didn't even bother to look at it, "Don't give me that crap! If you have something to say, just say it!"

Xiao Dongliang chuckled a few times and took out a stack of files from his arms, "Forensic Doctor Shen, let me have a look."

Gu Fang sneered, Xiao Dongliang glared at him, "What are you laughing at? I'm not here to see you!"

"I laugh at Captain Xiao, but there will be a day when he needs help from others."

"You speak as if you haven't asked for it." Xiao Dongliang rolled his eyes, "You still need Forensic Doctor Shen's guidance."

Gu Fang glanced at Shen Xingyan, who was staring at the file with a frown. He reached out and took it away. "I have an important mission tomorrow. I'll read it after I finish it. It's a waste of time!"

Xiao Dongliang:! ! !

"Gu Fang, don't go too far! Why should I help you and not me?"
