now!
Qinghe Copper Smelter!
Zheng Yuanqiao and Qin Shan were supervising the police officers as they continued their search in the factory.
Since this place was most likely the kidnappers' base back then, it's impossible that the only clues left were in the cement pool.
Even if twelve years have passed, a little bloodstain or a strand of hair may become the key to solving the case.
“Ding ding ding~~~”
Zheng Yuanqiao's cell phone suddenly rang.
He answered immediately.
"Xiao Xu, did you find anything over there?
What? Found copper in the cemetery? So soon?
Are there bones mixed in it?
Okay, okay, I'll be right there!"
Zheng Yuanqiao hung up the phone and looked at Qin Shan beside him. He found that he had been staring at him with surprise in his eyes.
"Did they actually find a body?"
“That’s right!
Judging from Xiao Xu's description, they should have found it.
She’s still very reliable.”
Zheng Yuanqiao exclaimed: "I didn't expect that Shen Ting was right again."
Qin Shan hurriedly said, "Stop talking, let's go and take a look!"
More than twenty minutes later, the two drove to the grave slope.
As soon as they got off the car, they saw from a distance that a technician wearing white gloves was fiddling with several black metal blocks on a white cloth.
Seems like they want to be put together!
Qin Shan glanced around the cemetery and said in surprise:
“Wasn’t this piece of metal dug out from a grave?
In front of the grave?"
Xu Xin came over and nodded with a smile:
"We initially thought the copper was buried in a grave.
But after digging for a while, nothing was found.
It is further speculated that the families of the victims of the accident may feel that it is disrespectful to bury their enemies directly in the grave.
Therefore, a copper block might be buried in front of the grave to allow him to repent.
As expected, we dug it up.”
Zheng Yuanqiao was also very excited: "So we have dug up four copper nuggets in total?"
Xu Xin nodded: "That's right!
But there should be more than four.
After piecing it together, the technicians discovered that it was incomplete..."
The technician on the white cloth immediately looked up:
"There should be one more piece missing, the most crucial part, the head!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of metal clashing came from not far away.
Xiong Beibei's excited voice came: "I dug it up, I dug it up again!"
He was wearing white gloves and looked up from the pit with a dusty face.
In his hand, he was holding a black object.
Run over and hand it over to the technicians!
The technician took the copper block and placed it on top of the four existing copper blocks, and they just happened to fit together.
Moreover, after it was assembled, it was exactly the shape of the cement pool.
"It's done!"
The technician said excitedly:
"The criminals must be from these five families!"
Zheng Yuanqiao was excited and was about to issue an arrest order, but when he looked at the black metal block, he was stunned:
"That's not right. Copper doesn't seem to be this color."
"certainly!"
The technician said, "Pure copper is certainly not this color.
But the criminal was not smelting copper at the time.
What's more, refining pure copper requires a very complicated process, and they don't have the technology, the equipment, or the manpower.
The criminals simply wanted to simulate an accident, so they simply melted the copper ore and poured it into a cement pool.
Not only are the impurities inside not melted out, but there may be more impurities mixed in. It is normal to have this color!
Crucially, I found bones embedded in the cross-section of the copper block."
The technician showed the cross-section of the copper block to everyone.
There are indeed charred black marks on it.
In some places, it really looks like a bone cross section.
The forensic doctor picked up the copper block and carefully examined the cross section. After a moment, he said:
“It really does look like the carbonized remains of a human body.
I don’t know if a DNA test can still be done.”
"We'll talk about this later. I think we can arrest the person now!"
Zheng Yuanqiao looked at Qin Shan and saw him nod. He immediately arranged for police officers to lock on to the suspect and arrest him.
…
The news that the person had been found was quickly passed back to Chaoyang Public Security Bureau.
A police officer found Shen Ting, who was lying on the table, resting his head on his arms, and leisurely browsing restaurant reviews.
“Brother Shen, stop playing around, I really found a copper nugget in the graveyard you mentioned.
A total of five dollars!
These are the accident victims in five cemeteries, as well as the corresponding family information.
Captain Zheng asked me to show it to you first!"
The police officer said excitedly.
"Okay, put it down first!"
Shen Ting's eyes lit up as he looked at his phone:
"This restaurant is pretty good, 3.8 points, not too high, not too low, just right.
The atmosphere is also perfect for a date!”
The police officer scratched his head, this is too calm!
You solved the kidnapping case that attracted nationwide attention that year, and you still act like nothing happened?
If it were me, I would probably jump up excitedly and jump to the roof!
Could it be that he had already anticipated that copper ingots would be found in the cemetery?
So it's not surprising at all?
The police officer was surprised and turned around to participate in the arrest.
But before he completely left the office, he heard a soft "Huh" from behind.
"etc!"
Chen Ting originally wanted to simply flip through the suspect's information, but as soon as he opened it, he stood up from his seat.
The look of lack of interest also turned into surprise.
“Advisor Shen, what’s wrong?
Do you have any new discoveries?
Is this suspect list wrong?"
"no!"
Shen Ting shook his head, "I know this suspect."
Shen Ting glanced at the time on his phone:
"At this point, I roughly know where he is."
"ah?
Where?
We will send people to arrest him immediately!"
"I'll go with you!"
As Shen Ting spoke, his expression changed again, and he suddenly remembered the mark of the ten-petaled flower he found in the cement vat at the Qinghe Copper Smelting Plant.
The identification team has been researching it, but until now, they have not been able to determine what kind of flower it is.
Shen Ting suddenly realized that it was not a flower at all!
He and the police officer got into the police car and set out to arrest the person, while contacting the identification team:
“Director Ma, don’t identify the ten-petal mark on the cement jar as a flower.
That shouldn't be a flower, but a strawberry stem!
The ten 'petals' are the calyx of the strawberry!"
Strawberry, five main calyxes, five secondary calyxes, exactly ten petals!
