Chapter 63 Chapter 63 Midwife and Baby Bones
Chapter 63
"There are dead bodies, public security comrades, there are many dead children in the dry well behind the West Mountain!"
The long-haired boy shouted this and fell to the ground, his face becoming paler. The faces of the companions behind him did not look much better. Some of them recalled what they had just seen and bent over and began to vomit wildly.
The long-haired boy is named Ma Xing. He and his friends are students from the Art University in the neighboring city. They came to the mountains of Wuning City to collect inspiration and paint.
On the way back from Xishan, Ma Xing saw the large stone covering the dry well with a unique shape, and he had an idea to move the stone back and make a stone sculpture.
He didn't expect that as soon as they worked together to move the stones, they immediately smelled a rotten stench coming from the bottom of the well.
When I used the flashlight, I found that the bottom of the dry well was full of white bones, and there was also the body of a young child that had not yet completely decayed.
After listening to Ma Xing's description, Qin Ye frowned and looked in the direction of Xishan, and asked Li Quan: "Is there a village near Xishan?"
She had been in the capital for four years and didn't know much about the new planning and construction of Wuning City. But in her memory, the West Mountain had always been an undeveloped mass grave.
The nearest village to Xishan is Yaoxia Village, hidden in another ravine. It is also the hometown of Jiang Shilin, the human trafficker who abducted and sold women.
"Some people in Yaoxia Village have moved to Xishan now."
Li Quan has been in charge of the population flow of the police station in Wuning City for the past few years. He is naturally familiar with all the information. He said, "They have moved here less than half a month ago."
According to Ma Xing's account, the remains of the young child in the dry well had obviously been there for a long time, not just a month and a half.
Of course, the specific situation needs to be judged after on-site inspection.
…
Li Quan left the car to Qin Ye and asked her to drive to the Municipal Bureau to report first. He then called the bureau from a public telephone booth on the roadside and asked for help to come to the scene.
Based on the original county public security bureau, the Wuning City Public Security Bureau expanded and renovated, and its size has increased several times compared to its original size.
It was not until Qin Ye walked into the duty hall that he vaguely regained the familiar feeling.
"Hey, Captain Qin! You're here to report? We've been waiting for you for so long, and finally you're here!"
Murong, who was on duty at the front desk, stood up with a smooth smile on his face. He happily took the things from her and said, "We all know each other in our team, me, Tingting, and Captain Qian... Oh, no, it's Deputy Captain Qian."
At first, there were constant internal struggles in the First Brigade of the Provincial Bureau. It was not until Qian Yaguang was demobilized and joined the team that he used iron-blooded methods to severely rectify the bad atmosphere. Only then did the atmosphere in the team gradually improve.
Murong and others were also convinced by Qian Yaguang.
This time when the Wuning City Public Security Bureau was built, they all volunteered to follow Qian Yaguang to Wuning City to take up their posts.
They didn't expect that Qian Yaguang's position here was only deputy captain of the criminal investigation team.
At first, Murong thought that his superiors were dissatisfied with Qian Yaguang’s unauthorized actions in the last mission and were punishing him temporarily. It was not until Qin Ye's letter of appointment came that he realized that the position of captain of the criminal investigation team was probably intended for Qin Ye from the beginning.
He had worked with Qin Ye several times and naturally had nothing to say about her outstanding ability to solve cases.
Not to mention that he also heard that Qin Ye won the double first place among the national public security system students in the graduation practical simulation exercise competition.
He also studied at the People's Public Security University and knows very well the value of this award.
With such an outstanding resume in the capital, promotion would be a matter of minutes. If it were him, there would be no way he would go back to Wuning, such a remote place.
On the one hand, he thought Qin Ye was stupid, but on the other hand, he admired her choice and had no objection to her becoming the captain of the criminal investigation team.
But...others may not think so.
Murong thought of this and touched his nose uncomfortably. He still smiled as he led Qin Ye to the office without saying a word: "Captain Qin, your office is over here..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud shout suddenly rang out from the large collective office next door—
"Qin Ye? Who is Qin Ye? How did she suddenly become our captain when she graduated from the Public Security University?! And she's a woman, is she worthy?!! Except for Captain Qian, I, Liang Dong, don't recognize any other leader!"
Qin Ye heard the noise and paused, looking at Murong beside him: "Is he also from our criminal investigation team?"
Murong was so embarrassed that he nodded: "Yes, his name is Liang Dong, and he just retired from the army two months ago."
Liang Dong has a bad temper and doesn't like anyone. He has even argued with Qian Yaguang face to face several times. It was not until a few days ago when Qian Yaguang blocked a knife for him from a knife-wielding gangster that he was completely convinced of Qian Yaguang.
…
Through the crack in the door, Qin Ye vaguely saw Liang Dong with his hands on his hips, still yelling.
She didn't have time to argue with him now, so she just said to Murong: "Li Quan and the others should be back soon. I'll report to the director's office first. Please notify the rest of the team and meet in the forensic room in half an hour."
After hearing her instructions, Murong felt relieved and rushed back to the office.
As soon as he entered the room, he quickly waved in the direction of Liang Dong, and the other party's shouting stopped: "Murong, you are not on duty outside, why did you suddenly run back to the office?"
Liang Dong shouted loudly, and everyone else in the office looked towards Murong.
Murong cursed Liang Dong inwardly and informed him in a tone as official as possible: "A large number of children's bones were found in the dry well in the West Mountain. Captain Li Quan and Captain Qian will be back from the scene soon. Captain Qin asked us to meet in the forensic room in half an hour."
"Captain Qin? You mean that female student? Is she here?"
When Liang Dong heard that Qin Ye was coming, his expression immediately became even uglier. "Isn't it just that he studied a few more years than me? Why is he so young and superior to me? Don't you think so?"
Murong smiled politely and didn't respond.
He doesn't take sides.
Regardless of whether Qin Ye can gain a foothold in the criminal investigation team, he will not express his opinion. It is always right to be a good guy.
Wen Tingting took over Liang Dong's words: "Brother Dong, you can't say that. You haven't been to Jinhai, so you don't know how powerful Captain Qin is. Even Captain Qian can't match her ability to solve cases. She also studied on her own and was admitted to the Public Security University. Even if she didn't go to school, the position of captain of the criminal investigation team would probably be hers now."
Seeing that neither of them stood on the same front with him, Liang Dong's temper immediately flared up again, and he started a personal attack on Wen Tingting who was praising Qin Ye.
"Didn't you also go to the Public Security University? Then why didn't you become a captain? The number of times you've been to a scene can be counted on one hand. You vomit every time you go to a scene. Aren't you just a useless vase?!"
Wen Tingting was thin-skinned and was scolded by Liang Dong. Her eyes turned red on the spot and she couldn't say a word for a long time.
Seeing that the two were arguing, Murong just said, "Don't forget to meet in the forensic room in half an hour," and then walked away from the scene of the dispute.
…
After Qin Ye reported to Director Wu's office, he also obtained from him the case file of an unsolved case that had been shelved for nearly two years.
The deceased was a midwife who was well-known in the area. On the way home after delivering a baby, she was murdered and dismembered by the murderer. Qian Yaguang had led people to conduct many investigations, but the real culprit was never found.
Qin Ye discovered from the files that the murdered midwife was also from Yaoxia Village.
Qian Yaguang inferred that the murderer who killed the midwife was most likely a crime of passion and was not an acquaintance, which was why the police had been unable to find any relevant clues.
Just looking at the file, Qin Ye couldn't see much content. Fortunately, the midwife's body was still stored in the morgue.
She planned to take advantage of the fact that Li Quan and the others had not returned yet to see if she could find some clues from the midwife's body and solve the midwife's case first.
The temperature in the morgue is very low. In order to facilitate the preservation of the bodies, there is a creepy chill everywhere.
If it were someone else acting alone, they might be scared, but for Qin Ye, she was familiar with everything and quickly found the midwife's body.
The murderer cut the victim into hundreds of pieces, and the body was basically pieced together, but it was inevitable that some parts were missed.
According to the case file, the midwife's other organs were intact, only her uterus is still missing.
Qin Ye looked quietly at the body in front of him. The midwife's eyes were closed. Even though her death was so tragic, one could still vaguely tell from her facial features that she was a kind and amiable woman when she was alive.
The murderer's method of dismembering the body was too cruel. Assuming that it was really a murder committed by a stranger in the heat of the moment, the murderer is definitely a typical antisocial demon and he will definitely commit crimes again.
But two years later, no one was harmed again.
Qin Ye was more inclined to believe that this was a vendetta. If there were no grudges, most people would never do such a cruel thing.
But when she opened the file, she found that Qian Yaguang and others had investigated and found that the midwife had always had a good reputation and had never had any grudges with anyone.
She thought for a moment, took out a pencil from her pocket, and drew a shallow circle under the sentence "no grudges with anyone". She planned to revisit the people the midwife had dealt with during her lifetime in the next few days.
…
Qin Ye put away the file and walked out of the morgue, and saw Li Quan and Qian Yaguang carrying two large dark bags and walking towards her.
The expressions on both of their faces were extremely solemn.
"We found nineteen skeletons from under the dry well. Judging from the size of the skeletons, they were all young children. The youngest one looked like a baby."
Li Quancong finished speaking and took out an evidence bag from his pocket. "We also found a gold ring that belonged to the midwife from Yaoxia Village on the wrist of the baby's dry bones."
