chasing the dark

Chapter 41 Go to the scene

"Dahong is right. We need to be cautious about this matter." Lao Yang nodded in agreement, "If a person is lost and doesn't report to the police, he may have already prepared for it. Determining the identity of the deceased is only part of the case. The most important thing is to find out. The secret behind the old man's disappearance."

Seeing Jiang Yu worrying about the food, Ye Zhanzhou stretched out his lunch box and said in a low voice, "If you can't eat, give it to me, don't waste it."

Jiang Yu said thank you, and set aside half of the meal. This kind of fast food is very generous, but it is a burden for her.

People in the office had meals and discussed the case, but no one paid attention to what happened here.

Dan Ding Xuan was right across from the two of them, seeing this scene, he had no time to chew the pork ribs he had just put in his mouth, so he touched Jing Hong who was buried in the rice with his elbow, and signaled her with his eyes.

Jing Hong looked up and said, "Xiao Jiang, I didn't mean that you can't eat more because you are as thin as a bamboo pole? My father's cats eat more than you."

"It's too exaggerated." Jiang Yu laughed, "If the cat eats me so much, it will die."

"Sister Dahong, you got something wrong." Ding Xuan reminded in a low voice.

Jing Hong frowned: "What's wrong? Just a little food is not enough to fit between teeth."

"Don't talk about those useless things." Ye Zhanzhou interrupted the two, "Old Yang is right, you must find out what's behind it. Besides, there is also Qi Dong, don't forget that he is a habitual offender."

"That kid is as slippery as a loach, it's hard to deal with." Jing Hong said angrily.

"Isn't that right? The five of us outflanked each other and chased them for a long distance before holding them down." A police officer involved in the arrest echoed.

Lao Yang nodded: "According to the information, Qi Dong has dealt with the police not once or twice. I'm afraid the interrogation work is not small."

Ye Zhanzhou swallowed the food in his mouth: "It depends on how you interrogate."

Lao Yang chuckled: "I knew that this job would have to be spread to me, I prepared some materials, let's try to review them first."

"In terms of meticulousness and patience, our team is none other than you, Lao Yang, and of course you have to come forward." Ding Xuan said.

Ye Zhanzhou raised his chin towards him: "After dinner, go and bring Zhou Qianglin up and take him to the scene. Jing Hong, take someone to Zhou Qianglin and Qi Dong's house, and it's best to bring back the clothes they were wearing when the crime happened. "

……

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, three police cars drove out of the gate of the Municipal Public Security Bureau one by one and headed north.

After entering Fengbei New District, the speed of the car slowed down.

Zhou Qianglin, who was sitting in the van, stretched his neck and looked out the window: "It seems to get off here."

"Don't seem like it, be more accurate." Ding Xuan raised his eyebrows.

Zhou Qianglin said: "I drank too much that day, and I remembered that there was a tree on the side of the road where I got off the car, and I vomited under the root of the tree."

"It's as if you didn't say it, there is a tree every few meters along this road." Ye Zhanzhou patted him on the shoulder, "Think about it, is there any other reference?"

Zhou Qianglin rolled his eyes and thought for a while: "After I vomit... I walked forward for a while, and there were a few big stones. I also said, who has nothing to do, why put the stones here, it's strange .”

"What kind of stone?" Ding Xuan asked.

Zhou Qianglin said: "It's...the kind with many branches and holes in it."

"Grey?" Jiang Yu asked.

Zhou Qianglin thought for a while, then nodded: "It seems so."

"Taihu Stone." Ye Zhanzhou said.

"In front..." Jiang Yu paused, "It's about one kilometer away, there it is."

Ye Zhanzhou patted the back of the driver's seat: "Xiao Gao, one kilometer ahead."

"Okay." Xiao Gao, the policeman who was driving, responded and increased his speed.

Ding Xuan raised his eyebrows: "Sister Xiaojiang, how do you know there is a rockery one kilometer away?"

"I walked this road in the morning." Jiang Yu replied, "Based on the bus stop, it's almost the same."

"You're quite careful, that's fine!" Ding Xuan raised his eyebrows.

The road of one kilometer is not far away, and the time to talk will arrive.

Zhou Qianglin raised his handcuffed hand and pointed outside: "I remembered, it's here."

The three police cars pulled over one by one, and Ding Xuan and Xiao Gao escorted Zhou Qianglin out of the car.

This is a small landscape area composed of soil slopes, rockery and bushes. The area is not large, about five or six meters away from the river.

A bluestone road passes through the middle and winds along the river bank.

Zhou Qianglin looked east and west, trying to recall the scene of the day: "We walked over here... the willow tree in front, Qi Dong said, looked like the one at the gate of our elementary school. I said it didn't look like it at all. A tree much bigger than this."

"Where did you meet the old man?" Jiang Yu asked.

Mentioning the old man, Zhou Qianglin shrank back subconsciously: "Just...just past that tree."

He timidly walked forward, passed the willow tree, looked around, and said: "It's almost here. The old man came to ask how to get to Capital Jiayuan, and I... robbed him..."

His voice became lower and lower, and the last two words were particularly vague, obviously regretting his actions at that time.

At Ye Zhanzhou's request, Zhou Qianglin described the night of June [-] while walking.

Finally stopped, looked around, lowered his head and said, "That's it."

Everyone present understood what he meant, this is where the deceased was murdered.

So many days have passed, it is very likely that the traces left on the site have been completely destroyed, but the trace inspection work still needs to be carried out.

Zhou Qianglin's memory is not very clear, which greatly enlarges the scope of the search.The cordon was quickly pulled up, and the accompanying technicians began to get busy.

This time, two people came to the technical department. The older one was surnamed Wu, and the other was his apprentice named Li Ji.

While the two of them were working, the criminal police were not idle. Except for Zhou Qianglin who was guarding Zhou Qianglin, everyone else started searching around.

The stone road is relatively close to the river, about two or three meters away.It is far away from the road, about six or seven meters away, and there is a green belt in the middle.

There are not many pedestrians and vehicles on this section of the road, but after a long time, some onlookers gathered outside the cordon.

Chinese people are like this, as long as there is excitement, there will definitely be no shortage of audiences.Watching and discussing at the same time, regardless of whether they know each other or not, they all chat like old acquaintances.

While chatting, some people talked about the corpse search notice issued by the police recently, and guessed whether it was related to the unknown corpse.

Several police officers took the opportunity to ask them if they had seen an old man nearby on June [-]th and asked someone about Capital Jiayuan.

Ding Xuan called Jiang Yu aside and handed her a bottle of water: "Take a break, you've been wandering around several times."

Jiang Yu took a sip of water and said, "Unfortunately, nothing came out of the transfer."

"It's normal, how many days have passed, what do you expect to find?" Ding Xuan shrugged, "But it's not in vain, at least we have found out the scene of the crime and what happened."

While the two were talking, they heard Li Ji's excited voice from the river not far away: "Master, could this belong to the deceased?"
