Chapter 74: Missing Girl Case (Part 3) Another Female Corpse
"My sister goes to work at 9am and gets off work at 5pm. She sent me a message saying her feet were sore from standing at work and she wanted to go home early to rest. After that, I didn't see her when I got home from get off work.
She usually tells me in advance when she goes shopping with friends. Last night, I waited at home until 11 o'clock but she didn't come back and I couldn't get through to her on her phone.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong, so I quickly went to the police station to call the police and find someone. Who knows... who knows how our sister died in the mountains and forests outside the city..."
Huang Xianyin burst into tears after she finished speaking.
Ye Bai handed her a tissue to wipe her tears, "Does your sister have a boyfriend?"
"No, I know that. She is very simple and always refuses anyone who pursues her, saying that she is still young and doesn't want to fall in love so early."
"Have you had any grudges or arguments with anyone recently?"
Huang Xianyin looked at Ye Bai and shook her head. "No, when we go out to work, we always behave ourselves and don't cause trouble for ourselves or others. Besides, my sister is very popular, so how can she make enemies with others?"
Ye Bai then asked, "Have you heard from your sister that there is a suspicious person following her recently?"
Huang Xianyin wiped her tears, sniffed and began to recall, "I don't think so, I haven't heard her say that."
Han Jianye asked her: "When was the last time you contacted each other?"
Huang Xianyin cried and said, "It was 4:30 yesterday afternoon. I was working somewhere else and I got off work at 6 o'clock. Usually my sister would get off work an hour earlier than me and go back to the dormitory to prepare dinner for me when I got home. When I got home from get off work, I found that she was not at home. I called her cell phone but it was turned off. I was very worried. I didn't expect that something really happened."
Han Jianye has now captured several key pieces of information from the beginning to the end of this case: Huang Xiantian lost contact at 4:30 pm, she did not return home, her mobile phone was turned off, she was not in a romantic relationship, had no grudges with anyone, and had good interpersonal relationships.
The autopsy results showed that the deceased had no missing organs and had not been sexually assaulted. He only had a mobile phone and a small amount of cash on him. If the murderer only wanted to rob her for money, it seems unnecessary to take her to the mountains in the suburbs and kill her. Moreover, the victim's sister did not receive a call asking her to raise money to redeem her, so she was taken away on her way home.
Faced with such a situation, it is indeed confusing and difficult to guess the murderer's motive for murder.
After everyone watched Huang Xianyin leave, Ye Bai suddenly raised a possibility: "We are confused about the motive of the deceased's murder. This reminds me of a serial murder case I handled at the Qiyang Branch last year."
Han Jianye asked curiously: "What case is it?"
Ye Bai began to recall: "Specifically, when we took over the murder case, we conducted various investigations and ruled out all possible motives for the murder. In the end, we found that the murderer was a group of rich kids who had nothing to do. They enjoyed killing people and played a cat-and-mouse game with us for excitement. They even took photos after the murder to provoke us. Their behavior was extremely bad."
Han Jianye asked, "So you suspect this case may be a similar situation?"
Ye Bai shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, I just suddenly remembered that case."
They were so hungry that they had dinner as a midnight snack. It started raining heavily again and dawn was only a few hours away. After a brief rest, they set off again as soon as the rain stopped.
Liao Wei and Su Wan were resting with their eyes closed on the sofa.
Han Jianye went to Director Zheng's office, and when he came back he saw Ye Bai staring at the photo of the deceased in a daze.
"You have time to rest, what are you thinking about if you don't rest?"
Ye Bai looked up at Han Jianye and answered truthfully, "I just can't figure out what the murderer's motive is?"
Han Jianye took out a cigarette from the box and was about to light it.
"Can you please stop smoking?" Ye Bai suddenly asked, and then whispered, "Smoking is bad for your lungs."
Han Jianye frowned slightly, "Do you mind my smoking?"
Ye Bai blinked and shifted his gaze. He held up a glass of water with both hands and took a few sips. "I'm just giving you a suggestion. If you want to smoke, go ahead."
Han Jianye snorted and lowered his head to light a cigarette. "Staying up late is tiring. Smoking a cigarette can help you stay alert."
Ye Bai suddenly remembered something. He turned to look at Han Jianye and said, "I can't drink much. Next time if I drink again, just pour water on me and I will sober up."
Han Jianye chuckled, "Are you so cruel to yourself?"
Ye Bai nodded. He felt that he had to be ruthless, otherwise he would do something even more outrageous next time.
Alas, I can only blame myself for having a poor alcohol tolerance. I really can’t drink even a little bit.
……(′ω｀*)
"Okay, I'll splash you."
Han Jianye naturally happily agreed to such a good thing.
...ψ(｀′)ψ
Three hours later, the sky outside was slightly brighter.
According to the established plan, they planned to conduct an investigation near the deceased's home and at the intersection outside Anming Village. However, another sudden murder case forced them to rush to the scene immediately.
Before leaving, Han Jianye asked Qi Xiaolei to stay and then took other investigators to complete the task.
What puzzled them was that the location of the murder was also located in the mountains and forests, halfway up the mountain, but it was not the Anming Village they were familiar with, but Lujing Mountain, dozens of kilometers away from Anming Village.
The person who called the police was a young man who was hiking in the mountains to look for bamboo shoots. He mentioned that due to the rain last night, he expected that many fresh bamboo shoots would break out of the ground in the mountains after daybreak.
While searching for bamboo shoots, he suddenly smelled a disgusting stench. At first he thought it was just the body of an animal that had died somewhere in the forest, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
But as time went on, the stench became stronger and stronger, and he even felt a strange itchy sensation on his neck. When he reached out and touched it, he was horrified to find several tiny white maggots crawling on his neck.
When he looked up, he was horrified to find that hanging on the tree was the corpse of a woman with long hair and dressed in red. This scene terrified him so much that he lost his footing and rolled down the hillside, even wetting his pants in extreme panic.
Han Jianye and his team hurriedly drove to the scene, a journey that took 48 hours.
Along the way, their faces were extremely solemn, and everyone was wondering, another body was hanged in the mountains, could it be the work of the same murderer?
Or is it a gang crime?
This time the route up the mountain is relatively easier to walk on, as there are stone steps on Lujing Mountain.
Compared with Huang Xiantian's corpse, the difference is that this corpse has already rotted and has maggots.
Ye Bai looked up at the dead and pointed out the similarities between the two bodies: "They both wore red skirts and had long hair. They died in different forests but in the same way."
