"Another body found?"
"Or two?"
“The key point is, was it discovered in Qingshui River?
Doesn't that mean that he might be the victim of the sixth case?"
“But didn’t Advisor Shen say that the Punisher would be more likely to choose Yunfeng Mountain in the north to commit the crime?”
…
While the police officers were in shock, Shao Ming hung up the phone.
Facing everyone's puzzled gaze, he looked gloomy:
"This morning, an elderly man was jogging along the bank of the Qingshui River.
While sitting on a bench by the river to rest, I suddenly noticed two black objects floating in the river in front of me.
When he got closer, he saw that the two objects, one large and one small, had limbs and hair, and were obviously human.
Call the police immediately!
When the local police arrived, the body had already been salvaged.
It has now been confirmed that the adult deceased was a female, and judging by her clothes, she was in her thirties or forties.
The younger one is a boy, maybe fourteen or fifteen years old!
The two look like mother and son, but it's not certain.
The identities of the two are not certain.
But the state of the corpse has begun to change towards giantism.
The estimated time of death is about four to five days.”
"Wouldn't that be around the same time as the Punisher's sixth crime?"
Xiong Beibei said.
Shao Ming nodded heavily:
“That’s what I’m confused about.
The two victims now are most likely related to the perpetrator.
It is possible that, as in the first and fourth cases, they are family members of the core targets of the torturer.
Or that is the target of the punisher.
The question is, since the bodies were found in the Qingshui River, doesn’t that mean that the two people were killed upstream of the Qingshui River?
If I remember correctly, the upper reaches of Qingshui River is not Yunfeng Mountain.
It seems to be a mountain in another province..."
Shao Ming said, looking at Shen Ting.
Now there is a clear contradiction!
Since the bodies were found in the Qingshui River, the normal thinking is to look for the place where the two people were killed in the upper reaches of the Qingshui River, especially the place where the core target was killed.
But Chen Ting had said before that Yunfeng Mountain was more likely the place chosen by the punisher to kill.
Shao Ming was in great trouble because of this.
On the one hand, he trusted Shen Ting very much.
As the head of the special task force, when he was in the Criminal Police University, his teacher had instilled in them:
When investigating a case, you cannot be superstitious about anyone, including yourself.
But now, Shao Ming's trust in Shen Ting has almost reached the point where he regards Shen Ting's suggestions as golden rules.
On the other hand!
The clear evidence is right before our eyes.
Now the two are pointing in two different directions. Shao Ming feels that his left and right brains are fighting each other and he doesn't know how to choose.
Shen Ting was also a little surprised by this new news.
But after a moment's thought, he felt relieved:
“Anyway, let’s go to the riverbank where the body was found.
Maybe, that adult woman is the punisher's sixth target!
It also saves the effort of subsequent investigations.”
Looking at Shen Ting's calm smile, Shao Ming also relaxed and said with a smile:
"Okay, let's go to the riverbank and take a look first."
The police car quickly turned around and drove towards the location where the body was found.
About twenty minutes later, the police car stopped at a riverbank.
The roads on both sides of the river have been blocked.
Barriers were also erected along the river.
The police officers were just as conflicted as Shao Ming.
With a hesitant look, he came to the river.
Just as Shao Ming said, inside the cover were two corpses that were beginning to show signs of gigantism, and their faces were almost invisible.
Normally, five days after death, more and more decaying gases gather in the body, the cavities in the body are filled and expanded with gas, the body becomes larger, and begins to appear giant.
However, the temperature in Dajing was very high in the past few days, so this process has been accelerated, and it is normal for the giant sighting to occur in four days.
The medical examiner came forward to examine the body.
Shao Mingze found the police at the police station:
"Can you identify the source of the corpse?"
“It’s basically confirmed.
We found the ID card in the pocket of the female adult deceased.
The deceased was named Liu Qianni.
Currently living in Haidian District.
My colleague found out through household registration information that she has a fifteen-year-old son.
I guess it’s the smaller deceased…”
The police officer said, his expression suddenly became serious:
"My colleague also found out that Liu Qianni's husband is our...colleague.
Or former colleague, to be more precise.
Her husband's name is Lei Ping'an, you may have heard of him."
Hearing the name Lei Ping'an, the surrounding police officers showed a hint of surprise.
On the contrary, it was Shen Ting, and I didn’t know why everyone reacted this way.
Xiong Beibei nudged Shen Ting's arm and said proudly:
"It's rare that there are things that even our great Detective Shen doesn't know!
Lei Ping'an is the captain of the Economic Investigation Team of the Haidian District Investigation Bureau.
He was previously reported by someone under his real name for soliciting bribes, and he should now be suspended for investigation."
Xu Xinyi said, “He is probably the target of the Punisher’s sixth case.
If you ask for a bribe, there is no corresponding crime in the Sixth Hell.
Perhaps the sin he committed was abandoning his faith?"
