The search for the body went smoothly, and most of the details were found. When it came to burying the body, no one let the forensic doctors do the hard work. Several young and strong guys came over and buried the body in the pit in a short while, and even sprinkled a handful of grass on it.
Given the climate and temperature here, it won’t be long before grass grows here again, and it may even grow better…
From here, everyone split up into two groups. Sun Jie and others went to the Criminal Police Team to conduct a preliminary examination and drug test on the body. This was also Sun Jie's request. It's not that Sun Jie is so professional. Many old forensic doctors in the border area also have some special methods. These methods can actually identify some special causes of death in the local area. Sun Jie only heard about it but didn't master it. He could learn something when he went there.
In terms of experience and ability, Sun Jie is definitely better than these two forensic doctors, but there is always a teacher among three people, and Bai Song also supports Sun Jie to go.
Except for the forensic doctor and several criminal police officers, everyone else went to Nazhen Police Station.
The driver is the source of this case and the key to the current clues, but Bai Song is worried that the driver dare not speak up. This driver is actually a little timid, and Bai Song knows what he is afraid of, definitely fear of revenge.
After finding the driver, Bai Song first gave him a few instructions: "This is the deputy director of the county, Director He. Everyone here is trustworthy. I will be leaving soon. Please cooperate with them."
"Officer, have you found... found it... the poisonous insect... is it powerful..." The driver was really scared and he didn't have a very brave heart.
"There is no poisonous insect. Don't talk nonsense. They are all lies." Bai Song comforted him with a few words and prepared to leave.
He was not really concerned about this murder case. The key to this case was how the driver confessed. Since the driver could tell the case so accurately, the smuggling gang must have a motive. Although the cause of death has not been found yet, as long as those people are arrested, the prisoner's paradox is enough to solve the case.
"Then I'll leave first," said Bai Song and Director He.
"Director Bai, please slow down. I'll find someone to accompany you." Director He said.
"No need, it's not far, I can just drive there. This murder case involves a lot of people, you need more police force." With that, Bai Song asked the chief for a police car and drove to the checkpoint.
There are already three plainclothes policemen at the checkpoint. Don't think three is too few, because it is a 24-hour post, and a three-person post needs at least nine people to rotate for a long time. The county bureau is short of police force, and there are still many people at the airport. In addition, it is not easy to arrange nine people to go there when a murder case happened.
This is the checkpoint from Banna to Mengcheng. This kind of checkpoint may be rare in other places, but it is very common in the border areas of southern Xinjiang, mainly to prevent drug transportation. Especially for cars coming out of Banna, there are checkpoints on all roads. And this time, Bai Song sent someone there specifically to find X.
It takes about an hour to drive from here. Bai Song is usually impatient, but when he walked to a rice noodle shop, he suddenly felt a little hungry.
The police have a problem when investigating cases: they always forget the time.
After breakfast in the morning, we came up the mountain, searched, packed up, and went down the mountain. It was already past two in the afternoon.
Because of the murder case, Director He was also under pressure from the department leaders. No one thought about eating and completely forgot about this matter. They even forgot about Bai Song's meal. It can be seen that the pressure was indeed not small.
In addition, because the scene just now had been rotten for two years, the stench was still there. No one had any appetite, let alone eating. Not vomiting showed that one was knowledgeable.
Bai Song saw that there were so many murders, and thought that there would be nothing to eat at the checkpoint at this time, so he prepared to eat something.
Thanks to his familiarity with the surroundings, Bai Song made a decision after weighing the matter for a few seconds. He decided to eat here before going over there, as he couldn't go to work on an empty stomach.
The rice noodles at this restaurant were said to be average, so Bai Song drove to another rice noodle restaurant that was said to be good and got out of the car in casual clothes.
Bai Song was a bit unpretentious when it came to such a remote area. For convenience, he had never worn a uniform. Now it was convenient for him to go out for a meal.
After getting off the car, he looked around as usual. None of the restaurants around were as crowded as here. It was already past two in the afternoon and there were still three or four tables. He felt that he had made the right choice. He went in directly and ordered a big bowl of rice noodles with some meat, and then started waiting.
Thinking about this, he called Sun Jie. Sun Jie didn't answer the call at first, but called back two minutes later.
"What's the matter?" Sun Jie asked, "I was wearing gloves just now."
"It's okay. I just wanted to ask you how things are going over there. Have you eaten?" Bai Song said.
"The criminal police here have prepared food, but I don't have much appetite. Let's wait a while, there's no rush. How are you?" Sun Jie said.
"Is there any hope of finding out the cause of death?" Bai Song asked.
"It's hard to say. The toxicology test results haven't come out yet. There are only a few of us here and too few equipment," Sun Jie said helplessly.
"You've worked the hardest this morning, so you should eat early. I'm a little hungry, so I'll find a noodle shop and eat something before going over."
"Yes, there's no rush. It won't take too long to get to the checkpoint. It's rare that you even remember to eat. If it were the old you, you would have gone there without thinking about anything else." Sun Jie said with a smile.
"This case has been delayed for so long this morning, so I'm not in a hurry anymore," Bai Song said with a smile, "The main thing is that I've recently found so many delicious restaurants nearby, and I feel like I'd lose out if I didn't come here to eat."
"It's a good thing I got to know this place with you, otherwise you wouldn't have skipped meals again." Sun Jie knew Bai Song quite well. He was really the kind of person who would forget to eat and sleep because of the case.
"It's not as exaggerated as you say," Bai Song said. As the rice noodles arrived, he said, "Eat your meal early. If there's no result over there, then there's no result. Go back and have a rest after dinner. I won't talk to you anymore. My rice noodles are here. I'll eat first."
"Okay, you should come back early too." Sun Jie hung up the phone.
Bai Song looked at the rice noodles and his appetite grew. He finished them all in less than 20 minutes and felt that his whole state had improved a lot.
Food is still very useful. The dirty things that happened in the morning had some impact on Bai Song's condition, but now he is fully recovered.
After paying the bill, Bai Song was not in a hurry. He got into the car slowly, started the car, and set off for the checkpoint.
Bai Song was not familiar with the roads around here, but he didn't need to be familiar with them. After leaving the city, there was only one road, and it would take 40 to 50 kilometers to reach the checkpoint. The road conditions here were not good, and there were many bends. Although Bai Song boasted that he was a good driver, he had to be careful.
I guess Brother Jie would like driving on this kind of road. Bai Song felt a little regretful and thought he should have brought Sun Jie along.
While driving, Bai Song's cell phone rang. It was obviously unsafe to answer it here, so he drove to a flatter place and saw that the call was from Director Wei.
