Chapter 100 Searching the Auto Repair Shop
When Chen Yan and Zhou Yi drove to the auto repair shop, Zhang Lechao was already waiting at the door.
As soon as I saw their car arrive, I hurried to meet it.
"Officer Zhou, Officer Zhou, thank you for your trust in my work." Zhang Lechao grabbed Zhou Yi's hand and said excitedly.
How could I not be excited? The Municipal Bureau's Criminal Police Team specifically asked for my help. Just based on this matter, I would have to be the next chief of the factory's security department.
"Secretary Zhang, you're too polite. I'm sorry to call you here so late at night."
"Of course I should. Is there anything else I can do?"
"We want to search the workshop where Xu Jiaguang works."
"Okay, okay, Lao Li, quickly open the gate and let the two officers' car in."
Zhang Lechao took the two of them straight to the factory where Xu Jiaguang worked, opened the door with the key he had prepared in advance, and turned on all the lights.
As the lights came on, the entire factory building appeared before them, accompanied by a strong smell of engine oil.
"What is Xu Jiaguang's daily job?" Zhou Yi asked.
"Our factory is probably the largest auto repair shop in the district, so in addition to repairing cars, we also have tractors, agricultural machinery, motorcycles and so on," Zhang Lechao introduced attentively.
"Old... Xu Jiaguang's usual job is as a mechanic, fixing whatever problems there are. But he's skilled, so he's usually in charge of repairing large trucks."
Chen Yan asked, "So, according to this, he can probably operate all the machines in the factory?"
Zhang Lechao nodded repeatedly: "Sure. Officers, what are you looking for? How about I help you find it?"
Chen Yan looked at Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi nodded slightly.
There is indeed a shortage of manpower at the moment. Almost all the people who can move have gone to support Jiang Biao's search, after all, the area is so large.
Chen Yan said, "What we're looking for are bones. We can't rule out the possibility that they're intact, but there's a high probability that they've been broken. As for the extent of the breakage, that's hard to say."
"Okay, I get it. Looking for bones. Bones..." Zhang Lechao's expression suddenly changed, and he asked with a stiff tongue, "What... what... bones?"
Zhou Yi said calmly: "Human."
Zhang Lechao's face turned pale instantly, and he looked at the factory in front of him in horror, as if something unclean would pop out at any time.
Seeing him like this, Zhou Yi wanted to pat his shoulder and let him go out first.
But as soon as their hand touched his shoulder, Zhang Lechao jumped up as if he had been electrocuted, which scared both Zhou Yi and Chen Yan.
"Um...Officers, I think this is a very serious matter. I need to call our factory director right away and report...I'll come back and help you find it after I've reported."
Of course Zhou Yi knew that he would most likely not come back, so he smiled and nodded.
Zhang Lechao ran out immediately as if he had been pardoned.
But as soon as he ran out, he regretted it, because it was pitch black outside and there was not even a light.
A breeze blew, the leaves above his head rustled, and all the hairs on Zhang Lechao's body stood up.
He ran as if something was chasing him.
Originally, he was heading to the security department of the office building because there was a phone there.
But when he was about to run to the door of the office building, he looked at the dark door behind the glass door and his calves suddenly shivered.
There was no one in the building at the moment, and I would be scared to death if I went in now.
When I turned my head, I saw a light source two or three hundred meters away.
That was the direction of the guard room. Without thinking, Zhang Lechao immediately ran towards that direction.
He had never run so fast in his life, rabbits were his grandchildren.
…
In the factory, Zhou Yi and Chen Yan put on gloves and began searching.
There are many machines and equipment in the auto repair shop, most of which they are unfamiliar with.
But it doesn't matter. What they are looking for is the ability to handle human bones, especially skulls.
Because the human skull is very hard, with a hardness of about 5 to 6, and a force limit of between 200 and 500 kilograms.
You should know that the hardness of hardened steel used to make gears, bearings and mechanical parts is between 5 and 7.
So ordinary machines can't handle it at all.
"Zhou Yi, how do you think Xu Jiaguang managed to get the skull in here? There are so many eyes watching us in the garage."
"helmet."
"helmet?"
"Xu Jiaguang always wears a helmet when he rides a motorcycle. He could have just put the skull in a black seafood bag and stuffed it inside his helmet. No one would have suspected anything. He could have even just left the helmet in a corner or on a shelf, and then when he was left alone to work overtime that night, he could take it out and dispose of it."
"Zhou Yi, I don't understand. If Xu Jiaguang accidentally killed Zhang Hui, why would he go to such great lengths to dismember her body?"
Chen Yan said: "If he had called the police and emergency services immediately, he could have been deemed to have surrendered himself. With manslaughter and surrendering himself, the sentence he would have received wouldn't have been very severe according to the law."
As Zhou Yi inspected the equipment, he said, "First of all, I'm skeptical that Xu Jiaguang accidentally killed Zhang Hui. This is just his one-sided statement, and there's currently no evidence to prove it."
"Secondly, if it wasn't manslaughter, then it was murder. Xu Jiaguang had planned from the beginning that this incident wouldn't be discovered, which is why he disguised the murder as a disappearance."
This is true. After all, in the previous life, this was a missing case.
"Finally," Zhou Yi raised his head and said to Chen Yan with a serious expression, "Brother Yan, I have a piece of advice for you. Never extend your kindness to a criminal suspect."
"Good people can never imagine how evil people can be."
Zhou Yi's words left Chen Yan stunned.
Chen Yan couldn't help but ask himself in his heart: Is Zhou Yi really two years younger than me?
"Brother Yan, I found something!" Zhou Yi shouted.
In the corner near the back door of the factory, there is an inconspicuous machine.
This machine is about 1.5 meters long and about 1 meter wide, and the surface of the machine is covered with a layer of iron sheet as a lid.
After Zhou Yi and Chen Yan worked together to lift the iron sheet, two huge roller gears were revealed inside. Each gear had seven or eight teeth, which were intertwined and meshed with each other.
"I've seen this kind of machine before. It's specially used to process scrap metal. When the machine starts rotating, you throw the useless metal in and it will be crushed," said Chen Yan.
Zhou Yi took out a flashlight and shone it inside the machine, but couldn't see clearly.
There was an iron box for collecting waste under the machine. Zhou Yi pulled it out and took a look. It was very clean and there was nothing inside.
"Find out how to turn on this machine." Zhou Yi said.
"Okay." Chen Yan nodded.
The two studied for a while and finally found a remote control button connected by a cable.
Chen Yan pressed a button hard, and the metal crusher shook a little, and the two gear rollers began to rotate inward at the same time.
Although it seems slow, the power is extremely enormous and a flesh and blood body can be easily crushed to pieces.
Zhou Yi and Chen Yan stared at the machine intently.
Suddenly, Zhou Yi shouted, "Stop!"
