chasing the dark

Chapter 99
The corner of Li Ji's mouth twitched under the mask, and he took an evidence bag and put the towel in it.

The room was not big, and the two of them stood only two meters away from the door, and the yellow dots on the towel could be seen by people outside the door.

"What's on it?" Jiang Yu was curious.

Turning his head, seeing the strange expressions of Ye Zhanzhou and Ding Xuan, he immediately realized that something was wrong: "Just pretend I didn't ask!"

After checking inside and out, Li Ji said: "Although it has been cleaned, there are hairs, fingerprints, footprints... There are clean towels in the cabinet, and there is a new plastic basin. Combined with the footprints outside, at least one A man and a woman have lived here."

Ye Zhanzhou frowned slightly: "Put everything back in place and lock the door."

Li Ji nodded, and restored the room with Shi Hao, except for the towel that fell under the bed.

After finishing these, Ye Zhanzhou asked: "Have you seen the kitchen?"

"I've seen it, the window is plugged in from the inside, and it hasn't been touched for a long time." Li Ji said, "I tried it with luminol, and there is a blood stain on the wall, and a sample has been taken."

It was not surprising that there was blood in the kitchen, but so close to the place where the body was dumped, it was hard to say what the circumstances were.

The door of the kitchen was not closed, Ye Zhanzhou strolled in.

Unlike the hot pot restaurant next door, there is no back door, but two windows facing the yard of the auto repair shop.

The combination of the two restaurants and the auto repair shop forms a rectangle, and the restaurant occupies a corner facing the street, which makes the front of the auto repair shop not very big, but the inside is very spacious.

There are no utensils in the kitchen, only oil stains left on the floor.

The rubber hose under the faucet has aged, and two broken vegetables are thrown in the corner, and there is a yellowed chef's uniform on it.

The lower part in the middle of one wall is still emitting a faint blue-green fluorescence, which is the reaction produced by the luminol reagent.

"Judging from the amount of bleeding, it's not enough to kill people. This is unlikely to be the first scene." Shi Hao's voice was full of disappointment.

"That's weird." Ding Xuan laughed at him, "Don't forget, the bones are boiled. The restaurant uses liquefied gas tanks, not natural gas. The murderer will not divide the body here, take it home and cook it. Send it back again?"

After checking all the places that should be checked, everything was restored to the original state, and several people left the barbecue shop.

It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and Jiang Yu followed Li Ji and Shi Hao's car back to the bureau, while Ye Zhanzhou and Ding Xuan stayed behind.

Since someone has lived here, there is a good chance they will come again.

Waiting for the test results from the technicians and forensic doctors, and then looking for people, it is better to squat directly.

Ye Zhanzhou has already adjusted the next step of the work. He has assigned six people to work in groups of two, with shifts every eight hours. Starting tomorrow, he will be squatting near the auto repair shop, waiting for the people who come in and out of the barbecue shop to show up.Tonight, he and Ding Xuan will come first for this class.

After Jiang Yu returned, he handed over the mobile hard drive to Lao Yang, and the next task was to check the surveillance video of the bottled water plant.

Watching surveillance is no stranger to Jiang Yu. He watched it at double speed and found something suspicious, so he went back and watched it several times at normal speed.If there is a problem record, there is no problem to let it go.

Throwing corpses and burying bones cannot be done in broad daylight, so the main thing to watch is after dark at night and before sunrise the next morning.

The monitoring equipment at the bottled water factory is good, even at night, the images are not too blurry.

In the days that followed, the people in the first team could be said to be sleepless.Visiting, squatting, watching surveillance... each perform their own duties.

The technical department made a comparative analysis of the inspection materials brought back from the barbecue shop that day. Although there were several shoe prints left in the shop, they only belonged to two people.One is a man wearing a shoe size 42 and the other is a woman wearing a shoe size 37.

Judging from the sole pattern, these two people will not be very old.Men mostly wear leather shoes, while women have sports shoes in addition to high heels.

The footprints taken from the staff lounge had repeatedly stepped on the bedside, and were 25cm long, basically matching a size 42 shoe.

Shen Peiqi did DNA extraction, and the hair and other samples belonged to two people, a man and a woman.

The blood in the kitchen was not only from animals, but also from people.But it did not match the three skeletons buried in the backyard, and no match was found in the database.

When the result was obtained, Ye Zhanzhou happened to be in the office, and he told the situation to the people present, and everyone started talking about it.

"There won't be any other dead, right?" Li Haotian rubbed the bridge of his nose to relieve the discomfort in his eyes.

Lao Yang looked at it and took it from Ye Zhanzhou's hand and reported: "The amount of bleeding is not large, even if you die, you won't die on the spot. This man and woman are quite strange, just go to the hotel for a tryst, why do you have to do it in such a place?" place?"

Judging from the extracts at the scene, there is no need to guess what this man and woman did in the barbecue shop.However, this location still makes people feel incomprehensible.

Hearing that it could not be a new deceased, Li Haotian relaxed: "What's the matter, just seek excitement, otherwise how could there be such a shock."

"It's as if you've played it before." The first auxiliary policeman joked.

"Go! Don't say anything." Li Haotian scolded with a smile, "I'm still single now, am I playing with you?"

Lao Yang coughed twice, and brought the topic back to the right path: "Being able to get the key must have something to do with the hotel."

He looked at Ye Zhanzhou from above the reading glasses and asked, "Has the boss been in contact?"

"The boss's family has immigrated and is not in the country at all." Ye Zhanzhou said.

Jiang Yu felt embarrassed before and kept silent.

Now to discuss the case seriously, she said: "It is definitely not ordinary employees who have access to the keys, or they are managers, or...they are people who can open the lock."

"What kind of eyes do you have?" Ye Zhanzhou chuckled.

When the little girl said the last sentence, she glanced at him, as if he had done something bad.

"Deputy Captain Ye, can I interpret your current behavior as a guilty conscience?" Jiang Yu pursed his lips and suppressed a smile.

"Correct answer!" Lao Yang echoed, "Sliding the door and picking the lock is not a difficult thing for our team."

Immediately afterwards, he added: "The deputy captain is the leader."

"Old comrade, please pay attention to your words." Ye Zhanzhou squinted at Lao Yang, then changed the subject, "Any clues from surveillance?"

Lao Yang put on his reading glasses again: "I'd better keep looking for clues for you, otherwise I'll send you a pair of size 37 shoes, my old feet can't bear it."

Criminal policemen are like this, no matter how busy they are at work, they will joke a few words to relax, which can be regarded as having fun while suffering.

Ye Zhanzhou thought of something and asked, "How is the investigation of missing persons going?"

"There are five people who meet No. [-], and none of No. [-]." Li Haotian took over the conversation, "Three of the five people are from Mingyang, and the family members of two of them have already taken DNA samples and are still waiting for the results. One's father is on a business trip and is on his way back. Two family members from other places will come over today and tomorrow."
