Serious Crime Unit 1

Chapter 618 Reappearance of Skeletons (2)
"You did the right thing. You first go to Minghuang Valley to look at the military shovel. We will go to investigate now." After Wu Jiang finished speaking, he hung up the phone and explained the situation to everyone.Jiang Yiming thought this was a good clue, so he asked everyone to go to Minghuang Valley with the exploration box.

An hour later, they arrived at Minghuang Valley.Mou Yeping and Gu Chengcai were waiting for them on the left side of the west end of Minghuang Valley.In addition to a military shovel, there was also a black backpack lying quietly deep in the dense reeds. Except for the cowherd boy Mou Yeping, few people would pass by here because it was a reed bush.

Wu Jiang put on his gloves and picked up the military shovel to look at it. It was a special shovel with foldable wings and a retractable steel handle. It had exquisite workmanship, good material selection, and many functions. It even had a wine and beer bottle opener.

There were clear fingerprints printed on the handle. Wu Jiang counted it and found that there were 56 fingerprints in total, left by ten different fingers. After comparison, all the fingerprints were He Wendong's. The military shovel was covered with mud, and so was the handle. Apparently He Wendong used this mirror to dig diamonds.

How did He Wendong know where the diamonds were buried?Why didn't he dig it earlier?Did he just get the treasure map?How did he get the treasure map?

Jiang Yiming opened the black backpack, which contained instant noodles, mineral water, lighters, Swiss knives, flashlight batteries and other items. This showed that He Wendong was prepared to spend one night digging for diamonds. As a result, it only took two or three hours to dig out diamonds. .

Jiang Yiming handed the thing to Wu Jiang and asked him to check for fingerprints on it. After checking it, Wu Jiang said: "The thing on it is covered with He Wendong's fingerprints. No other people's fingerprints were found. This backpack belongs to him."

"Why didn't He Wendong take his backpack and military shovel back instead of throwing them here?"

"He may have discovered that someone was chasing him at this time, so he threw away his backpack and shovel in order to escape."

"Yes, He Wendong must have dug up diamonds nearby, but he was chased by a murderer. Therefore, I think the diamonds are buried nearby. Therefore, we must find out where the diamonds are buried." Jiang Yiming answered Wu Jiang.

"Captain Jiang, come here and take a look -" Xiao Ke waved to everyone more than ten meters away. They ran over and looked down in the direction of Xiao Ke's finger. They saw a piece of floating soil on the ground. It should have been dug up not long ago. filled in.

"There must be something down here. We have to do hard work again." Jiang Yiming smiled mockingly.

"As long as we can discover the truth, we are not afraid of death. What kind of hard work are we afraid of?" The floating soil is about one meter wide and two meters long. There are more than a dozen clear shoe prints printed on it. Wu Jiang knew at a glance that it was left by He Wendong.Zhou Ting took photos of the floating soil, and Wu Jiang went to the car to get a sieve to prepare the floating soil like last time.

When Xiao Ke dug to a depth of 40 centimeters, the shovel hit something and made a "boom" sound. He stopped digging, squatted down, and peeled away the soil with his hands. As a result, he saw a shocking scene: a skeleton. Looking at them with grinning teeth...

"Wow, another nameless skeleton?" Xiao Ke reached out to pick up the skeleton, put it on the ground, and then dug. This time he dug carefully. Slowly, Xiao Ke found the bones piece by piece. He dug It took nearly half an hour to dig out all the bones and arrange them together to form a complete human skeleton.

"This is a male skeleton. This case is so fucking weird. Why is the deceased always related to the skeleton?" Xiao Ke stared at the skeleton and looked at the skeleton, as if he was scolding the skeleton, but also seemed to be scolding the skeleton. murderer.

"Xiao Ke, please stop scolding the poor skeleton. Over the years, he has been trying to rely on us to avenge him. I didn't expect that you didn't sympathize with him and instead scolded him." Wu Jiang said with a smile beside him.

"Maybe he can cooperate with us to solve the case, because this is a male skeleton. The male skeleton can find his relatives through Y-DNA, and at the same time find the source of the body. In this case, we are very close to solving the case." Jiang Yiming is full of confidence. say.His sixth sense told him: the case would be solved soon!

They sifted through the floating soil and found no physical evidence, not even a button. This means that after the deceased was killed, all the clothes were taken away by the murderer. If the murderer burned the clothes, or threw them into the river and were destroyed by the current, If you leave, all evidence will be wiped out.

"Judging from the color and degree of corrosion of the skeleton, the death time of this skeleton is similar to that of the female skeleton we found last time. They may have been killed at the same time." Luo Jin said.

"They may be accomplices, husband and wife, or brothers and sisters." Wu Jiang said.

"Oh, why do you say that?" Jiang Yiming asked.

"They may have turned against Chi Ye and He Wendong, so they were killed by Chi Ye and He Wendong. Of course, this is just speculation and cannot explain anything."

"If they were killed by Chi Ye and He Wendong 20 years ago, why did Chi Ye and He Wendong come here to dig diamonds now? Why didn't they take the diamonds away immediately after killing them?"

"Could it be possible that they were discovered by someone while burying the bodies of a man and a woman and fled in a hurry?" "It's unlikely. Murder is a very secretive thing. It's possible that they were caught in the uninhabited Minghuang Valley. Very little."

"Chiye and He Wendong may be insiders. They have been looking for the treasure map. After more than ten years of hard work, they finally found the treasure map. They followed the instructions on the treasure map and found the diamond accurately. However, they did not expect that The diamonds were buried with the skeletons, and of course, they didn’t expect that they would be killed. If Chi Ye and He Wendong were the murderers, then they would have come to Minghuang Valley to look for diamonds long ago, and they wouldn’t have waited until now, right?” Xiao Ke’s point of view Same as Jiang Yiming.

"But why did the murderer kill Chi Ye and He Wendong?"

"It's a difficult question to answer, and we won't know until we investigate diligently."

It was a hot afternoon. Everyone was in Jiang Yiming's office, waiting for Luo Jin's report.After a while, Luo Jin came in with a report. Seeing everyone being silent, he smiled and said, "It's not late autumn yet, why are you all so silent?"

"Can you use adjectives? This is called thinking hard." Lu Yingying retorted.Since Lu Yingying became Xiao Ke's wife, she has shifted the target of her complaints to Luo Jin.

"Luo Jin, what's the result of the male skeleton test?" Jiang Yiming asked.

"He came out. He was about 24 to 25 years old when he died. He was the same age as the female skeleton. He was buried in the soil at the same time for about 20 years, that is, in the summer of 1997. They both died and were buried at the same time. of."

"What's the relationship between them?"

"Their DNA does not match. They are not related by blood. They should be husband and wife, or they may be friends or lovers."

"How's the Y-DNA comparison result?"

"It's ongoing. It's not that fast yet. This is a relatively complicated process that requires patience and good luck." Luo Jin held up his myopia glasses and handed the report to Jiang Yiming.

"You work overtime for me to test. This male corpse plays a very critical role in our solving the case. The results must be obtained as soon as possible."

"Captain Jiang, we are so tired that we are about to collapse. You are still urging me. I am really speechless." Luo Jin was a little aggrieved, but there was still a bright smile on his face. This is Luo Jin. He is called the city's mayor. The most popular man in the bureau, but because he is too busy at work, he barely has time to fall in love, so he has not been able to find his sweetheart for a long time.

"Okay, I know your suffering, forget it, don't work overtime tonight, go home and sleep, it doesn't matter if the truth comes one day later, as long as it comes." Jiang Yiming saw the circles under Luo Jin's eyes. I couldn't bear to let him work overtime anymore.

"Thank you for your leadership's concern. I am grateful! In order to repay your kindness, I will continue to work overtime." After Luo Jin said this, he walked out of the office.

Jiang Yiming watched Luo Jin's back disappear at the door and thought: Who is that male skeleton?What should I do next?There must be a connection between Chi Ye, He Wendong, the male and female skeletons, and the sky-high-priced diamonds. As long as one of the puzzles is solved, the case can be solved.

However, a lot of time and police force have been invested in the cases of Chi Ye and He Wendong. Thousands of people have been investigated, but still no results have been obtained. The male and female skeletons cannot be confirmed for the time being. So, there are only diamonds... Jiang Yiming suddenly felt that he should visit a diamond expert. , maybe we can get clues from them.

Jiang Yiming, Xiao Ke, and Zhou Ting brought three diamonds to the Provincial Diamond Research Institute. Because these three diamonds were worth tens of millions of yuan, Jiang Yiming was worried about an accident, so he brought Xiao Ke and Zhou Ting, and everyone With a loaded pistol.

The Provincial Diamond Research Institute not only studies diamonds, but also gems, cultural relics, jades, gold and silver jewelry, etc., and provides appraisals for citizens who like to collect jewelry to identify authenticity.

His waist is straight, his face is red, he is energetic, and he has a fairy-like spirit. Like a person who has been retired for ten years.

Jiang Yiming had never seen Li Daru before. When he walked into Li Daru's office and saw him, he seemed like he couldn't believe his eyes, because Li Daru was in a very good state of mind and his eyes were shining like an owl's eyes.
