Chapter 33: Refrigerator Corpse (Part 3)
The refrigerator was filled with shocking body parts. After putting them together, there were two hands, two feet, two arms, and legs that had been chopped into pieces. In the large compartment on the bottom layer was a torso that had been cut into four pieces, but there was no head.
A forensic doctor came from the county and took the body back. The police from the local police station brought police dogs to search for the head of the body, but they haven't found it yet. Although they are not sure whether it is Fu Wei, it is almost certain.
Xia Beibei talked with Zhang Tao for a long time, but the information they got out did not yield any substantial progress.
The reason why Zhang Tao did not call the police immediately was that when he was searching Fu Wei's suitcase, he found 200,000 yuan in cash. He was greedy for money and took the money away.
He originally wanted to call the police, but then he thought, the person died in his hotel, and if the two hundred thousand was found, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble. Not only would the hotel be affected, but if the police treated him as a murderer for money, he would be asking for trouble.
Therefore, he did not dare to call the police, thinking of secretly taking the body out and burying it in the mountains in the next two days. As a result, he heard that the police were inquiring about Fu Wei, and he also heard that the police were searching the mountain today. Because he had a guilty conscience, he could not help but secretly went over to take a look, but he was caught unexpectedly.
As for the gun, it was also in Fu Wei's suitcase. He had never touched a gun before and didn't dare to hand it in or throw it away, so he kept it for self-defense.
As for Fu Wei's friend who wanted a refrigerator, Zhang Tao said that he was a man who was wearing sunglasses and a hat that day. He didn't look at his face carefully because the man gave him a lot of money and he was just having fun at the time, so he basically had no impression of him.
There was a surveillance camera installed at the front desk on the first floor, but it had been broken for a long time. Business was bad anyway, and Zhang Tao had not replaced it to save money, so the clue was lost again.
After the body was taken away by the forensic doctor, Xia Beibei asked someone to watch Zhang Tao and went back to the room on the second floor. The technicians were investigating. Gao Bochuan stood in front of the window, carefully looking at the gun in his hand. It was Fu Wei's gun that Zhang Tao stole.
Xia Beibei didn't disturb him. She walked around and went to every corner except the refrigerator. Finally, she stopped in front of the bed. It was summer, but there was a winter quilt on the bed.
She asked someone to call Zhang Tao over and pointed at the quilt on the bed and asked, "Did you give this to Fu Wei, or did he bring it himself?"
Zhang Tao looked at the quilt and said, "This quilt is mine, but I put it in the closet. Usually there are two quilts in each room, one for winter and one for summer. I change them when the season changes. This is my ex-wife's habit. I didn't move it after she left."
As he spoke, he deliberately looked at the air conditioner on the wall with a puzzled look on his face.
"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed why he took out the winter quilt. I put it in bags and put it in the closet. I guess he felt too cold. But the quality of my air conditioner is not very good, and it doesn't bring much coolness when I turn it on. Maybe he has a special physique."
Xia Beibei looked at his face like a profiteer and rubbed her aching waist. "What kind of bag did you use to pack the quilt?"
“It’s just an ordinary snakeskin bag.”
"Go to another room and get a bag that is exactly the same as the one in this room."
As soon as Zhang Tao left, Gao Bochuan came over and asked, "What did you find?"
Xia Beibei said: "Brother Liu from the technical team said that there are no signs of fighting here, and there is no blood on the ground. It should not be the first crime scene. It is summer now, and there are two quilts on the bed. Fu Wei can't cover himself with such a thick quilt."
"Zhang Tao said that he put the quilts in snakeskin bags in the cabinet. I looked around but didn't find any bags, so I suspected that the bags containing the quilts might be used to transport corpses."
She paused for a moment, then frowned and said, "If this assumption is true, the murderer must have seen Fu Wei here before taking action, which means that Fu Wei and the murderer knew each other. Perhaps his coming here is also related to the murderer. If the assumption is not true, why would someone take away a bag of quilts?"
Zhang Tao had just checked and found that nothing was missing from the entire room except the bag, so Xia Beibei thought that they could check where the bag went.
Gao Bochuan pondered for a while, then asked her about Fu Wei's friends. Xia Beibei shook her head helplessly. Seeing this, Gao Bochuan stretched out his hand to call Shen Yunfei and said:
"Take your men to check on the man that Zhang Tao mentioned who wanted the refrigerator. There's nothing in the refrigerator except body parts. There's no water or beer in the room. He wanted the refrigerator with the intention of hiding the body. Get the police to cooperate. Even if we have to dig deep into the ground, we must find him!"
In the afternoon, Gu Ding came in a hurry, cooperated with the county medical examiner to piece together the body and conducted a detailed examination before calling Gao Bochuan.
"The deceased was dismembered shortly after death. When the body is dismembered, blood will flow out from the broken large blood vessels. The blood in the body will be greatly reduced, and the livor mortis will not be obvious. There are almost no livor mortis on the deceased's arms, legs, and torso. Not only are there no livor mortis, but the visible parts also do not have fatal injuries. Therefore, the key should be on the head."
Everyone knew that the head was the key, because so far, they could only tell from the width of the joints that the deceased was a male, and could not confirm whether it was Fu Wei. Unfortunately, they searched the entire town and could not find the head.
Shen Yunfei still hadn't found any news about the man. Based on the snakeskin bag provided by Zhang Tao, Gao Bochuan and his men found an identical snakeskin bag at a garbage dump by the river at the foot of the mountain.
Fortunately, Zhang Tao's ex-wife marked the room number on each snakeskin bag with a marker, and the snakeskin bag they found was the one with a number on it.
There was indeed a smell of blood in the bag, but there was no head. They increased the police force and the divers searched the creek thoroughly and searched the mountain and the surrounding area again, but still could not find the head.
The only gain was the discovery of a large amount of covered bloodstains in the garbage dump. After analysis by the technical team, this should be the first crime scene.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Gao Bochuan and his men were still searching nearby. Xia Beibei squatted on the ground, holding her stomach, her face pale. She actually forgot that today was a special period.
Her menstrual period is very regular every month. She still remembered it the past two days, but she had forgotten it completely these two days because of Yang Lin and Lin Qi's matter. It was already dark, and seeing that Gao Bochuan and the others had no intention of stopping, she prepared to drive to the nearby supermarket by herself.
She was about to stand up, holding her stomach, when a sports car suddenly drove up in front of her. The flashing headlights made her unable to open her eyes. When the man got out of the car, Xia Beibei was stunned for a moment.
Zhou Xun?
Zhou Xun saw her squatting on the ground, so he trotted over and picked her up without saying a word. Xia Beibei took the opportunity to hug his neck and looked at him suspiciously.
"Why are you here?"
Zhou Xun opened the passenger door and let her in, then he walked around to the driver's seat and handed her a thermos cup.
"Your special brown sugar water, I came a long way to bring it to you, brother. How about it? I have been here for you all these years, rain or shine, do you want to give me a kiss to express your gratitude?"
Xia Beibei took it and drank two sips before turning to look at him, "How did you know I was here?"
Zhou Xun snorted twice, his face full of pride, "I, Zhou Xun, know everything I want to know."
After saying that, he suddenly remembered something and glared at her fiercely, "You've cheated on me. If I don't come again, my wife will run away with someone else."
