Chapter 224: Breakthrough of clues, finding the body! [Please give me a monthly ticket! ]
The body disappeared again.
The body disappeared on the evening of the 7th, and even when the police went there with police dogs, they could not find any trace of the body.
Now it's happening again.
February 16th.
Morning, eight o'clock.
This is a bridge hole, and above your head is a not-so-big stone bridge, located in the wilderness, and I don't know when it was built.
There are farmlands all around and forests in the distance. The land underfoot is very dry. When you pinch it with your hands, the hard soil turns into powder and flies away in the air.
at this time.
The place was full of figures, all wearing police coats, constantly searching around for something.
"Has the DNA been tested?"
"It came out, but it was useless."
Under the bridge, several people stood in the cold wind. Li Jianye exhaled a breath of white air and explained something.
"There is no data matching this DNA in the archives."
"What about the detection of traces in the surrounding area?" Xu Hao asked again.
“This is easy to check.”
A smile appeared on Li Jianye's face.
He squatted down and casually turned over the stone on the ground with his hand. Sure enough, after a moment, a stone covered in blood appeared in his hand.
"The murderer did not clean the scene carefully."
"The ground here is full of gravel. The blood of the deceased covered a lot of stones. It is impossible to clean them one by one, which will damage the DNA and make the luminol unable to react."
"So, the murderer simply randomly covered the bloody rocks at the scene and scattered them in an area of several dozen meters near the river."
Little-known fact.
To cover up a crime scene, regardless of other factors, only two steps are needed: one is to clean the surface, and the other is to destroy the luminol reaction.
But it won't work in the wild.
For example, land, or a road like this that's all gravel.
After the blood splatters, it will quickly seep into the ground.
How do you clean the surface?
It cannot be cleaned unless you use a shovel to dig away all the surface soil, but the hole left behind will be an important clue.
Therefore, most people often choose to cover the surface with the rest of the soil.
There is gravel ground under the bridge.
The murderer divided the rubble into several portions and dumped them in different places, and then used the remaining rubble to fill the distant area.
"Finally, we deal with the smell and a scene that is difficult to detect is completed."
Li Jianye spoke.
Someone died at the scene, but there was almost no smell of blood. Even if a police dog came, it could only circle in place.
"What's your opinion?"
Xu Hao looked at him.
“Very professional!”
Li Jianye's face was serious. He glanced around and said, "Moreover, many people were killed!"
Xu Hao nodded and expressed the other party's thoughts.
"There was a large amount of blood spatter, which means that the amount of bleeding was very large, but it was only at the place of death. There were no traces left on the way to transfer the body."
"That can only mean that the other party acted in groups and took care of every detail."
Death is very heavy.
Before death and after death are two different concepts. Before death, you may be able to pick it up easily, but if you have ever dragged a drunk person after death, you can probably understand it.
so.
If there was only one murderer, it would be impossible for him to complete a series of actions such as moving the body, cleaning up the traces, and cleaning the scene in a short period of time.
"That is to say."
"There are a bunch of people who are very professional in killing people, targeting a group of young people with unknown origins, no common sense, and no identity."
As they were talking, Zhao Shui standing by felt something was strange.
"Why is it becoming more and more mysterious?"
"What are you talking about? Just investigate the case properly." Li Jianye scolded with a smile.
"What are you looking into?"
"Where the bodies went."
Xu Hao stood up, looked around and said.
There are large tracts of farmland and wasteland around it, and only occasionally can you see some buildings.
"These people were very careful. Even when they were cleaning up the bodies at the scene, they did not forget to cover up their own body odor."
"It's impossible to just bury the bodies anywhere."
The body was not under the bridge, which could only mean that it had been moved to another location.
1. The other party just finds a random place to bury it.
This will put the police in a passive position. Of course, the other party will also be nervous. It is a kind of gamble that the body will not be discovered.
But the other party's caution will not choose this.
Second, use some method to dispose of the body in a way that makes it impossible to find it, such as making it disappear completely.
For example, aqua regia is something that requires a lot of amount, and the other party cannot get it at any time, so this method is also very risky.
3. The body was taken away.
"Just like the deceased appeared inexplicably in Jiangsan City, the body may also be taken away inexplicably."
Xu Hao started to speak, then he paused and continued:
"That's very possible, but only a few of them have the probability. For example, the bodies on the night of the 7th and last night were treated completely differently."
On the evening of the 7th, the person who called the police encountered a body that had no scars or blood on its surface.
On the evening of the 15th, Xu Hao found a body with a large amount of blood splattered on the ground. "This is very suspicious."
“From the arrests, it’s clear that this gang is targeting all young people.”
"But judging by the way they arrested them, their attitude towards each person may be different."
"The police couldn't even confirm whether the body on the night of the 7th was dead or not. Judging from the body last night, they could have killed the person, but they didn't. This can only mean that the other party was useful to the murderer."
"Since it is useful, then we should use it."
They want to use it, but where can they use it?
Xu Hao didn't know where it was, but he knew that he would need to change the venue if he wanted to use it.
"That is, take away the people who are late on the 7th!"
Xu Hao spoke, his eyes becoming more serious, "But why did they kill the body last night?"
Is there any difference between the two?
I don’t know, at least not yet.
But "it doesn't matter, they won't take the risk just to transport a body."
"It's hard to check whether the person who died on the night of the 7th is dead or alive, but they will definitely find a way to quickly destroy the body of last night!"
Xu Hao shook his head, dispelling everyone's thoughts.
People are useful only when they are alive. Once they die, they are of no use.
Unless you are like Sun Jian in the flesh processing factory, who treats human corpses as raw materials for processed products.
There is no need to think about this.
The murderer's purpose was highly selective, which was completely different from that of a processing plant.
"Destroy the body. In what sense?"
Zhao Shui thought for a moment and asked.
"In a physical sense!"
Xu Hao said seriously: "It is so detailed that even if the police stood in front of the body, they would not be able to find it!"
For criminal gangs, they will only choose the point with the lowest risk rate, and it will inevitably take a lot of effort to deal with the corpses.
Even if it is a little complicated, you have to do it!
Zhao Shui paused, then nodded.
"good."
After saying this, he began to mobilize and then conducted an investigation.
Xu Hao felt a slight headache.
The other party was very fast, and he had every reason to believe that the body might have been reduced to ashes in just half a day.
If the police fail to seize the opportunity, then there will be big problems.
"Where are the other escapees?"
Xu Hao looked at Li Jianye again.
Li Jianye looked helpless, "We are still investigating, but it is difficult to find out."
Many young men ran out of the breakfast shop, at least three or four, and one of them has been found dead.
The rest may have been killed.
If everyone is dead and the bodies have been crushed, then there is basically no way to investigate this case.
Thinking of this, Xu Hao's heart sank. He took a breath and asked, "Where's Sun Jian?"
"Is there anything suspicious over there at the seafood market?!"
"Nothing has been found yet. No clues at all."
Li Jianye looked very impatient and he kicked the stone on the ground away.
"It's a pipe dream to find someone with just a few coins!"
"Damn it, shouldn't this be a minor case? Why is it getting more and more complicated?!"
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Li Jianye's mentality is a little broken.
I thought this case was just an accident, but now it seems so scary! A murder gang?
Why kill these people? Did the people on the 7th night die? If not, where were they taken? Where did the young people in the breakfast shop come from? A group of 18-year-olds actually lack common sense about eating. This is very wrong. Where did these people come from?
The fishy-smelling banknote paused, and a dusty memory suddenly emerged in his mind.
"How's Zhang Liang's investigation going?"
He asked Li Jianye in a low voice.
Zhang Liang went to investigate other things, namely the "ghost messenger" case, the case caused by the air-raid shelter, and the case involving overseas.
"No news yet." Li Jianye shook his head.
Why is there no news again? Xu Hao sighed, feeling helpless. In the end, he could only say, "Speed up the investigation as soon as possible."
"There are only three top priorities right now."
"The origin of the deceased, the whereabouts of the body, and finding a living person!"
Police focused on the first and third.
The origin of the deceased is very important. If he has some information, Xu Hao dares to guarantee that he can follow the clues and catch the other party directly.
The living people are those who are still alive among that group of young people.
If just one person comes to the police, there is no need for the police to conduct a detailed investigation. They can arrest the person according to the instructions of these people.
But the problem is, these people have problems with common sense.
The concept of police may not exist in their minds. Even if Xu Hao was the murderer, he could have tracked them down in police uniform, giving the deceased the illusion that the police and the murderer were accomplices.
It is difficult to investigate both sides, especially the latter, as the other party may even have escaped from Jiangsan City.
So, the police finally set their sights on the corpse.
February 16th.
In the evening, half past nine.
After a day of searching and repeated visits, the police found nothing.
"Where on earth did the body go!?"
"Cover up on the spot?"
"Impossible. These people are not fools. They must know that there is a chance that the murder scene will be discovered."
"As long as they are discovered, the police will be able to grasp the scent of the deceased. If they dare to find a place to bury him, the police dogs will teach them a lesson!"
Inside the office, all the policemen gathered together, discussing anxiously.
Time passes by every second.
The most lacking thing in this case is time!
The other party acted so quickly that the police couldn’t even sleep!
Once the body disappears, the clue will be completely lost!
But the problem is that the police couldn't find the body at all, which gave the murderer time to dispose of it.
"No, it can't be buried on the spot, it must be physically disappeared!"
Xu Hao sat in the chair, his brain constantly thinking.
Burying it on the spot will leave a smell.
The murderer can cover up the smell of the deceased, but the decomposing body will still produce new smells that cannot be covered up at all.
However, as for the option of making the body disappear, "there are not many places within ten kilometers of the crime scene that have the conditions to do this."
"The police have searched the steel mill, sewers and other places, mobilizing nearly a thousand police officers, but they can't find anything." Li Jianye said helplessly.
There aren't many places where you can physically wipe a person out.
For example, in a steel mill, the temperature of the steel-making furnace is very high, and if a human body enters it, it will turn into ash.
The same is true for the sewers. There are so many bacteria that in a short period of time, people will be corroded and only bones will be left. There is no need to hide the bones.
Why? Because hiding the body is to hide information. Most people's information is on the skin. As long as there is no damage to the DNA and bones, the police cannot search even if they have bones.
In a trance. "Have you checked here?"
Xu Huo suddenly spoke and pointed to a corner of the electronic map.
This is the most rudimentary navigation, which is not very useful, but it is sufficient.
And what Xu Hao was pointing at was, "Feed factory?"
Li Jianye frowned.
What Xu Hao was pointing at was a feed factory that specialized in feed for pigs, cattle and sheep.
Li Jianye looked at Zhao Shui.
“No.”
Zhao Shui shook his head. "He is also on the suspect list, but he is too far away and we haven't found him yet."
The murderer and the police are racing against time.
What the murderer wants to do is not to make the police find nothing.
What they have to do is to destroy any information that can identify them before the police find them! Therefore, the police take the action of anticipating the other party's choice, that is, searching within a short distance where they can save the most time and deal with the body!
"Go check it out."
Xu Hao stared at the feed factory.
Why are they staring at it? Because this feed factory is different from other factories. In terms of the scale of feed, it only accounts for half of the factory, while the other half is for livestock breeding!
That’s right, although the vast majority of feed mills only produce feed.
But some people choose to raise pigs and sheep in order to test the quality of feed. This not only helps them test the quality of feed, but also allows them to make money by buying and selling livestock.
Xu Hao wanted to ask someone else to go, but after looking at the time, he paused and sighed, "Forget it."
"I'm going too."
What does a good feed need to meet? The nutritional needs of animals.
The nutrients that animals need are generally just those few.
Herbivores tend to prefer vegetarian nutrition, while carnivores tend to prefer meat.
The best-selling item is often pig feed.
Pigs are easy to sell, grow fast, have high prices, and feed is cheap, so the vast majority of feed factories sell pig feed.
As for what pigs eat, they eat grass.
Pigs eat grass. In the rural areas of the last century, if a family had pigs, the children would basically go out to cut grass for the pigs.
But it doesn't mean that pigs only eat grass.
Pigs are omnivores and will eat everything.
Pigs eat shit! Even pork!
So. February 16th.
Ten o'clock at night.
At the Sunshine Feed Farm, in the pigpen, several pigs were huddled together, grunting as they ate something.
Several figures came nearby and drove the pigs away.
Xu Hao squatted down and touched the pig trough.
His nose twitched, and he followed the smell. Suddenly, his hand stopped. The next second, a piece of crushed bone appeared in his hand.
In an instant, everyone stopped.
Xu Hao raised his head, looked at the sleeping pigs around him, and took a deep breath.
“Corpse.”
“Found it.”
The bodies became fodder.
A living, young person was ground into pieces and turned into feed for pigs in a trough!
Li Jianye's face turned pale, his hands were clenched into fists, veins bulged, and his expression was gloomy.
"What are you covering up!?"
What is the murderer covering up? (End of this chapter)
