Chapter 231: There must be some clues in the investigation...
They turned around and found that their captain was right.
From the meeting that just ended, everyone could see that there was only one person who cared about this case, and that he was very smart, had opinions, and had views.
As long as he comes, it won't be a big deal if the case doesn't require help from others.
So when they saw Wen Xing coming down, everyone was very happy.
"Alright, buddy. I thought you were just trying to trick our captain, but you're actually here. I hope your leader didn't give you any trouble."
Wen Xing hadn't expected such warm hospitality. Although he remained silent, he said awkwardly, "No, I didn't see Captain Gao."
"oh……"
Everyone hummed in agreement, then patted him on the shoulder, "Thanks for your hard work, brother."
He became even more embarrassed and pursed his lips and said, "I just want to solve this case."
So try to avoid unnecessary interference as much as possible.
"Come on, let's get in the car."
They were also afraid that the night would be too long and things would get more complicated, so they quickly asked him to get on. One of the cars took the fingerprint evidence brought by Wen Xing to the Municipal Bureau for comparison, and the rest of the people sat in a car with him and chatted. As they talked, they became familiar with each other.
Of course, it may be one-sided.
Wen Xing was still relatively reserved, but he wasn't as awkward as before.
In this season, no matter how hot it is, the temperature is much milder. At least when you go out, you don’t feel like you are suffocating.
But it still feels a bit hot.
In addition, we didn't get out until almost noon, so we didn't even have a meal. We found a store on the road and bought some boxed lunches to eat in the car, and also took a bag of popsicles.
The crunch is extra enjoyable.
After finishing their meal, they drove for another twenty minutes before finally arriving at the crime scene.
Wen Xing came down and gave them a detailed account of the location where the deceased had the accident.
"The car was in the second lane, and both right doors were open when we arrived. If, as we suspected, there was another suspect behind the driver's seat, the two men might have fled to the right side of Qianjin Road. After discovering this clue, we searched along Qianjin Road, but found no real leads..."
He introduced himself with a frown and a very serious expression. It was not until he turned his head to look at Qiu Jiang that he discovered that she was writing furiously in front of him.
I don’t know if he was remembering what he just said.
When he thought about how he hadn't made any progress so far and how she was still taking notes so seriously, he felt a little embarrassed and awkward, even though he didn't show it on his face.
But his leader did not take it seriously, and the resources he could mobilize were limited. At the beginning, some colleagues would investigate with him, but in the end, he was the only one left to investigate the case.
He was a little desperate at that time.
I thought this case would never be solved.
If the family of the deceased had not come to the bureau to make trouble and even petition, Director Gao would not have been so anxious to send the case to the Municipal Bureau in order to successfully clear himself of the charges.
From this perspective, Team 3 is simply taking the blame for them.
Even so, they did not abandon this mess and continued to analyze the clues seriously.
The more he thought about it, the greater the gap between the two sides he felt, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad and sighing.
The families of the deceased grieve over the loss of their loved ones, and they grieve for themselves as well.
I don’t know how long I can hold on in this environment, and whether one day I will become the person he hates the most.
Just as he was lost in his own emotions, Qiu Jiang actually did not remember what he said as he had expected, but instead carefully recorded the characteristics of the escaping murderer that she saw.
Although three months had passed, she could still see the three fleeing shadows that had materialized. Her eyes followed the direction of their escape until she saw their shadows gradually fade and finally disappear at an intersection on an unfamiliar road.
This is the main reason why she often stops when she sees the murderer's features instead of chasing after those dark shadows.
The pheromones that remain at the crime scene will fade with time and special circumstances, not to mention places where no murders have occurred. Often, the dark shadows will completely disappear within a few hundred meters.
Similarly, if the time distance is closer, or the pheromone is particularly strong, the shadow's trail can be traced longer, but based on her more than a year of experience in investigating cases, the former situation occurs more often.
This case happened so long ago that this situation was completely expected, so she just memorized their characteristics skillfully. Then she realized that the voice around her had disappeared, so she immediately raised her head and looked at him.
Wen Xing suddenly felt a little embarrassed and immediately continued, "Later, we visited the family compound again, but there was no result. Because the case had not made any progress, and the team had other cases to deal with, the investigation of this case was stalled. If it weren't for... if it weren't for the deceased's family, this case would probably have dragged on."
He lowered his eyelids and didn't look at him.
Qiu Jiang could see his self-blame, so she walked over and patted his shoulder.
"It's not your fault. Sometimes there's not enough manpower and that's all we can do. Now that we're here, we're fighting for justice for the families and the deceased."
"Yes, of course you can."
Liang Yang couldn't help but shout with great vigor.
Others echoed him.
"That's right."
"That's right."
Wen Xing didn't know what to say. His throat tightened and he answered in a heavy voice.
"good."
Qiu Jiang smiled and clapped her hands.
"Okay, now that we've gotten the urge to get back on track, I'd like to ask if you've been to the pharmaceutical factory since visiting the family compound?"
Wen Xing immediately shook his head and pointed in two directions to explain to her.
"This is the family compound, and the pharmaceutical factory is over there. Originally, people in the family compound could go to and from get off work directly via Qiuye Road. However, starting last year, about 200 meters into Qiuye Road was sealed off, and it's currently being widened and reinforced.
What's more, the road is surrounded by farmland, and the slope between the road and the farmland is very steep. There is also a circular well not far away, which has been abandoned and not filled in. If you are not careful, it is easy to fall into it. Although the well is not deep, you can't climb out by yourself if you fall in. Anyone familiar with the area will definitely not think of passing that way. So our guess that the person may have fled along the front road is not only because the two right car doors are open, but also for this reason."
“Now people from the pharmaceutical factory have to take a long detour to get to work via the newly built Huaiyuan Road.”
"Since you can get through, why didn't you go to the pharmaceutical factory to check? Maybe it was someone from the pharmaceutical factory who did it?"
Ren Wu raised the question.
Wen Xing said, "Because the entire section of Huaiyuan Road is equipped with surveillance cameras, it is one of the few roads in the city that has such installations. We checked the surveillance cameras at the time and confirmed that there was no pedestrian on the road that night."
In other words, it is impossible for the murderer to go through Huaiyuan Road. Qiuye Road is blocked, the slope is steep, and there is a well. If you are not careful, you will get injured. Basically, no one except the construction team will go there.
Even within the construction team, there were a series of accidents at the end of last year where workers accidentally fell or rolled down the slope and were sent to the hospital, which caused a lot of discussion in Peng City.
Also, because the road has not been repaired yet, the holes have not been filled. We will wait until the road is repaired and then fill the wells quickly.
"This, this, this, this...there are no clues at all."
Ren Wu was speechless and scratched his head anxiously.
If that's the case, why would the murderer run over there?
Qiu Jiang frowned and thought.
"Can you take us to see what's going on?"
"Can."
Wen Xing led them there. As soon as they reached Qiuye Road, Liang Yang and the others who were curious were already looking down from the side.
No one said a word after seeing this.
The reason was simple. It was because the road was originally raised, and the fields below had a steep slope of more than one meter away from the road surface. There was something shiny on the steep slope. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that it was actually a lot of glass shards, which were embedded obliquely into the slope.
It is broken beyond repair and is terrifying to watch.
If someone passes by here in the middle of the night, they might accidentally become a hedgehog.
If you are not careful, you may fall into the well not far away.
Originally they thought that the well was only about one person wide, but when they really saw it, they found that the well was as wide as three people.
"Oh my god, who has such a wide well? And there's so much broken glass on the roadside? What's going on?"
"I'm not too sure about this. I just know there used to be a steel mill here, and when it was shut down, they discovered there were so many unfilled wells. Because the two sides kept arguing with each other and there was no result, they had to fence it off first. Because they wanted to widen the road, they removed the fence."
"This road was originally a dirt road, but because the rammed earth foundation was very good, the road that was used during road planning was directly changed to Qiuye Road."
Looking at this creepy autumn leaf road, they finally understood why Wen Xing and the others had not considered this place.
Who dares to walk this road at night?
It's not like you're risking your life.
No, what if someone doesn't want to die, or the murderer doesn't understand the conditions of this road.
If that's the case, there should have been some clues left behind at that time.
For example, there may be blood stains on some broken glass.
Thinking of this possibility, Liang Yang and Ren Wuxing rushed to the construction workers who were taking a break to ask this question.
Others began searching for possible traces.
However, a long time has passed, and Peng City has rained several times in the past three months. Even if the murderer really left some traces accidentally at that time, it is impossible to leave anything now.
They returned disappointed and were about to go over to ask Liang Yang about their progress.
As a result, they both came back dejected.
Looking at this, there is no need to ask, there is definitely no good news.
"How can we find the murderer when there is no evidence at all?"
They were extremely discouraged.
Qiu Jiang also frowned, wondering why the three black shadows disappeared after arriving here.
That's a bit too weird.
There must be some clue they have overlooked.
What is it exactly?
Is it because they are wearing special shoes? Or is there another reason?
There was no answer to this question for the time being. After thinking about it, she decided to call Wang Qiuhua and others at the bureau first.
"Hey, Brother Hua, are there any progress over there?"
