Chapter 62

Jiang Wenchi and his group followed Qin Chuan to an orchard behind the theater. The road beside the orchard led directly to the main road in front of the theater.

At this moment, the orchard has been cordoned off by the police from the local police station.

On the side of the road, many villagers and tourists looked around curiously, with colorful and complicated expressions.A lot of people are talking about something, and they don't need to think about it to know that the rumors of "throwing corpses and killing people" are probably getting worse.

Qin Chuan greeted the director of the Haixizhai Police Station. Murder cases occurred one after another in the jurisdiction. The director's face was wrinkled into a bitter melon, and he pulled Qin Chuan repeatedly to ask to solve the case as soon as possible.

Don't worry about being the captain and not socializing, Jiang Wenchi has put on gloves and shoe covers, crossed the cordon, and started to investigate the scene.

Li Yiran took people to take pictures to collect evidence, while Zhang Xuan took people to question the reporter.

The owner of this orchard should be very hardworking. There are almost no weeds in the field, and the soil is flat and free of debris, so once footprints are left, it will be very obvious.

Jiang Wenchi looked around and saw a group of clear but messy footprints, a few traces of dragging, and bloodstains here and there.

When Jiang Wenchi squatted down to observe carefully, Qin Chuan finally got rid of the director and walked to Jiang Wenchi: "What did you find?"

Jiang Wenchi: "Judging from the size and depth of the footprints, these are the marks left by two adult males."

As he spoke, Jiang Wenchi pointed to one of the footprints: "This should be the victim's footprints. Judging from the footprints left by him, he should have been extremely panicked at the time, which is why his steps were so messy. And he must have been injured, trying to support himself Fleeing desperately, this kind of traces with deep front footprints and shallow rear footprints will be formed."

Qin Chuan speculated: "So this person is not as straightforward as Zhai Laoshi, he should have experienced a struggle."

Jiang Wenchi nodded: "Yes, the bloodstains are irregularly distributed on the ground in dots, which means that during the scuffle between the two, the victim's wound was bleeding, and it dripped to the ground with the fight..."

Jiang Wenchi said, pointing to the drag mark: "After the suspect killed the victim, he dragged the body under the tree, forming traces of his heels mopping the ground on the ground."

Following Jiang Wenchi's analysis, the two looked at the corpse under the tree at the same time.

The forensic doctor was still on the way, so Jiang Wenchi and Qin Chuan briefly checked the body first.

"Male around 40 to 45 years old, with a strong body, less subcutaneous fat, and well-developed muscles. The time of death is within 24 hours."

As Jiang Wenchi said, he saw the same strangle marks on the neck of the corpse as on Zhai Lao's corpse, and opened the corpse's mouth to check the corpse's tongue.

Jiang Wenchi: "It was also mechanical suffocation caused by external force. Even the fingerprints on the strangle marks and the ring finger of the left hand also had traces of pressing and rubbing with a hard object."

Qin Chuan frowned: "Basically, it can be concluded that it is the same murderer, serial killings."

Jiang Wenchi nodded, and then carefully took off the clothes of the deceased. Sure enough, even the gunshot wound on his arm was the same.

Then, Jiang Wenchi carefully observed the crevices of the dead man's nails.

Jiang Wenchi: "The naked eye can only see the blood. I'm not sure whether it's the suspect's or the deceased's. We have to wait for the results of the forensic examination. Captain Qin, can the police station confirm the identity of the deceased?"

Qin Chuan nodded: "It has been confirmed that the name of the deceased is Li Jiaji, and he is the general manager of Xihaizi Resort."

Jiang Wenchi was shocked: "Is it the Xihaizi resort where we stayed before?"

Qin Chuan nodded: "Yes."

Jiang Wenchi frowned: "From the old man of the village to the owner of the resort, all the dignified people in Haixi Village died. What kind of enmity does this murderer have with these people after making such a big noise?"

Qin Chuan: "Let's start with the relationship between Zhai Lao and Li Jiaji. Two people were killed in a row within a few days. The murderer still has a gun. We have to speed up the progress."

As soon as Qin Chuan finished speaking, the bureau leader called.

Qin Chuan went to the side to answer the phone, Jiang Wenchi sighed silently at the footprints all over the floor.

After everyone collected the team from the scene, they began to check the relationship between Mr. Zhai and Li Jiaji non-stop.

That night, as usual, a meeting was held in Qin Chuan's room to collect information.

"The first person to discover the scene of the crime was the fruit farmer of the garden. He lived in a self-built house at the entrance of the garden. He said he heard movement in the garden last night, but thought it was a fight between wild cats and dogs, so he didn't care. Today I found Li Jiaji's body after working in the field."

Zhang Xuan reported the reporter's inquiry records.

"This fruit farmer, does he know Li Jiaji?" Li Yiran asked.

Zhang Xuan nodded: "This Li Jiaji is quite famous in Haixi Village. When the factory was still open, many women in the village worked in his factory. Later, the factory was closed, and his resort also solved Haixi Many young people in the village have employment problems, it can be said that every household in Haixi Village has his employees, and everyone knows this Boss Li.”

Qin Chuan nodded: "Although Li Jiaji is not from Haixi Village, according to Director Chen of the Haixi Village Police Station, Li Jiaji came to Haixi Village from Nanhai City to do business more than ten years ago. He first invested in a chemical plant, and later The government shut down the factory because of environmental issues, but gave him some preferential policies, so he opened a resort.”

Li Yiran was puzzled: "Why doesn't the resort open in the village, it seems to be three to five kilometers away from Haixi village."

Qin Chuan: "According to regulations, it is not allowed to build large-scale resorts in the village. Firstly, it is afraid of damaging the ecological environment, and secondly, it will damage the overall characteristics of the ethnic architecture of Haixi Village."

Li Yiran nodded: "No wonder, the buildings here, even the hotel we live in, are all in the same Haixi Village style."

"Since the resort is not in Haixi Village, why did Li Jiaji suddenly come to the village in the middle of the night and die in the orchard behind the theater?"

Jiang Wenchi frowned and thought.

Li Yiran: "I investigated his communication records, but found no clues. His assistant said that he didn't explain what he was going to do when he went out, so he suddenly came to Haixi Village."

Zhang Xuan frowned: "Now the rumor of 'killing corpses' is going to spread even more evil."

Qin Chuan: "According to the current information, the biggest intersection between Li Jiaji and Zhai Lao is the previous chemical factory. It is said that the reason why he came to Haixi Village to build a factory was persuaded by Zhai Lao. At that time, Haixi Village had inconvenient transportation. , fruit is difficult to transport and sell, the economy is relatively backward, young people have to go out to work collectively, and there are more wasteland in the village.”

Jiang Wenchi understood: "So for the economic development of the village, the old man went out to 'attract investment' in person, and finally persuaded Li Jiaji to build a factory in the village?"

Qin Chuan nodded: "Yes. The chemical factory did solve the crisis in Haixi Village back then, and gave many people stable jobs and income."

Jiang Wenchi frowned: "But chemical plants also pollute the environment and water sources..."
