Corpse Investigation Section 2: Major Crime Catcher

Chapter 4 Wilderness Bones
一
On the New Year's Day of the new year, the Yunxi Municipal Government launched a measure to benefit the people - the government funded the construction of ditches to divert water from the Sishui River into the farmland for irrigation.For Tubazi Village, which relies on planting as its source of income, this policy can definitely be regarded as a great joy.

In the early years in this village, when the irrigation season came, water use became a big problem.In the past, villagers used water pumps to pump the accumulated water in ditches and ponds for irrigation. However, as the saying goes, far away water cannot quench thirst. It is unrealistic for a large number of farmlands to rely on the water storage left by rainfall. In order to ensure production, many villagers It had to be done on a household-by-household basis, and several neighboring growers jointly invested in water trucks for irrigation. This undoubtedly increased the cost of planting, and for some villagers with low incomes, it was simply miserable.It is conceivable that the government's measures to benefit the people have really solved the difficulties for the villagers.

As soon as the document was released to the village, all members of the village committee sat together and studied the provisions in detail. Finally, the spirit of the policy was dissected by the village party secretary, and played on the village's loudspeaker for three days.The general content is that the ditch funded by the government has only one main canal that runs through the entire village. If any farmland needs to be drained, it can dig the drainage ditch by itself now.

As soon as the news came out, the village exploded.January itself is not a busy season for farming. The laborers in the village are gearing up to dig ditches. The fool knows in his heart that if he leaves a ditch to store water beside his field, it will be much more convenient to plant anything in the field in the future.

On January [-]th, the morning glow broke through the morning mist, and a strong middle-aged man was busy working in the field with a shovel.Coarse clothes and non-slip gloves are his standard outfits when working.At this time, he was vigorously inserting the shovel into the somewhat soft soil.Stepping on the surface of the shovel and pushing it down hard, a shovel full of loess was thrown beside the field ridge. He was like a miniature excavator, repeating the previous action one shovel after another. After a while, the soil layer in front of him was It was dug to a depth of half a man.

And at this moment, a villager who was about his age walked up to him humming a little song.

"Shuanzi, you got up early enough." The villager said as he took out a crushed red plum cigarette from his coat pocket and threw it over.

Shuanzi caught the cigarette with both hands and held it in his mouth, then thrust the shovel into the mound, and walked up to the villagers in a few steps.The villager knowingly handed over his half-smoked cigarette, and Shuanzi took it in a hurry, smacking his mouth vigorously at the cigarette butt.As the sound of embolus inhaling became louder, the cigarette was also lit rhythmically.

"My family is only a laborer. If I don't finish it sooner, if the government repairs the canal, I'm afraid it will be too late. It's not like your family, four peasants, of course you don't worry."

"Come on, even though the village chief said so, Xiuqu still doesn't know about the Year of the Monkey and the month of the monkey. What are you doing in such a hurry, take your time."

"Do it slowly? I think you are not afraid of talking out of your tongue. My family's dozens of acres of land is enough for me to dig for the New Year. Stop talking nonsense here. I have to work." Shuanzi is straightforward, If you say a few words unsatisfactorily, you will make a mistake.

The villagers obviously knew Shuanzi's character, and they had no intention of leaving. They squatted on the ridge of the field and smoked cigarettes leisurely.

Shuanzi pinched the cigarette and kept half of it in his jacket pocket, then pulled the shovel back from the soil and continued digging.

Click!A crisp sound came from the tip of the shovel.The embolus slowed down the movements of his hands.

"What's the matter?" The villager pressed the cigarette butt to the ground, and hurriedly got up and asked.

"I found something." Shuanzi replied honestly.

"Listen to this voice, could it be a treasure? Quickly dig it out and have a look." The villagers got excited.

Fifty kilometers south of Yunxi City, the largest group of ancient tombs in the Warring States period was unearthed, so many of the local villagers have dug up treasures such as pottery fragments and ancient coins when they were farming.

"Even if it's a good thing, I've dug it up." Shuanzi shoveled a shovel of soil in front of him in frustration.

The villagers couldn't hold back their excitement and jumped down into the pit, breaking the clay with their hands for Shuanzi.

"I said Shuanzi, if you dig out a piece of jade or something, you will grow crops in the future." The villagers said, speeding up their hands.

"I found it." Shuanzi grabbed a white thing and held it up in front of the villagers as if he had found a treasure.

"Quick, wipe off the soil and see what it is." The villagers couldn't wait.

Shuan Zi pulled off the towel hanging around his neck and vigorously wiped the dirt on the things. When the two of them saw the true face of the things in front of them, they were scared out of their wits.

"Bone, bone, bone!"

"Shuanzi, you have dug someone's ancestral grave." The villager shouted.

As the saying goes, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. When the villagers shouted, other people who were busy around surrounded them.

"I, I, I..." Shuanzi was a little at a loss, and threw the bone in his hand aside in a panic, as if telling everyone that this matter is none of my business.

"Shuanzi, whose property have you dug into?" The onlookers asked such a question.

In rural areas, people who have passed away are generally not buried in cemeteries like people in cities. Rural people basically bury their coffins in their own fields, so as long as you ask whether Shuanzi has dug the boundary, you can basically find out Come out, who is the ancestor of this family.

Shuanzi looked frustrated: "The small piece I dug is wasteland, and there is no human race at all. I don't know whose family it is."

"Why don't you ask the village chief to come and have a look?"

"Yes, call the village chief, he must know."

"Yes, that's a good idea."

The proposal was approved by all.

Shuanzi scratched his ears and cheeks in anxiety, climbed out of the pit with hands and feet, and ran towards the village head's house.

According to rural customs, if someone else's ancestral grave is dug, the feng shui of the land will be basically destroyed, so money must be paid to move the grave.Many simple rural people firmly believe that the cemetery of the ancestors is related to the future and fortune of the descendants, so moving the grave is a big matter, and whoever takes care of it will be in a hurry.

Not long before and after, a man who was almost 60 years old came galloping on his bicycle with a cigarette in his mouth.Shuanzi strode quickly behind the car.

"The village chief is here." With the crisp ringing of bicycle bells, all the villagers consciously made way for him.

After two bangs and bangs, the village chief parked the car and looked into the pit, then turned his head and said to the panting Shuanzi: "Our village has been responding to the government's call for cremation all these years. How about you?" The human bones have been dug out, and it is likely that someone's ancestral grave has been moved."

"What crime did I do!" Shuanzi sat down on the ground when he heard the result, and burst into tears.

"Do you know who owns this land?" The village head asked after looking around for a week.

Hearing what the village chief said, the surrounding villagers all shook their heads.

"If you invite the 'Di Lixian' here, you will know. Doesn't everyone in our village be buried in the graves he showed? He must know." One of the villagers said such a sentence.

Although cremation has been practiced in these years, some customs of burial are still used here today.The Dilixian in the villagers' mouth is a common name in our local area, which is also known as Mr. Yin and Yang, a type of person who specializes in planning Fengshui, fortune-telling and measuring characters for a living.This kind of person is quite popular in our rural areas, and his status is ridiculously high.If you are careful, you will find that the villagers use the word "please" to Di Lixian.

Villagers with low education can use such a tone to describe a profession, one can imagine how much people worship Dili Xian.

The reason for worship is because this line of work is not something that anyone can do if they want to, it is usually a family tradition.That is to say, only Di Lixian with a red root is recognized by everyone. Don't think that you can pretend to be a monk by shaving a wooden fish and shaving your head.

Not to mention in Tubazi Village, there is only one Dili Immortal in the entire village. Whenever villagers in the village have funeral affairs, they will pay him to help him see the grave for burial.

If Shuanzi really dug someone else's ancestral grave, then Di Lixian couldn't be impressed, so the villagers' proposal is undoubtedly a shortcut.

"Second lame."

"Here, village chief!" A man with pimples all over his face stepped out of the crowd with his waist bent.

"You have a motorcycle, quickly invite Di Lixian over here."

"Okay! Village chief." Er Manzi didn't dare to neglect, knocked his cloth shoes on the ground, and ran to his Suzuki motorcycle.

hum!Accompanied by the sound of the engine, a pungent gasoline smell filled the air.

Shuan Zi was like a child who made a mistake, squatting on the side without saying a word, guessing that he was thinking about how much money he would need to move his family's grave safely and securely.

I don't know how long it took, but cigarette butts were thrown in front of the village chief. There were red plums, crossing the river, and the big front gate. You don't need to look to know that these cigarettes were "filial" from the surrounding villagers.

"Er Manzi is back!" As soon as a voice fell, the sound of rumbling motorcycles spread to everyone's ears from far and near.

"Village chief, I have invited Dilixian back." Er Manzi said while carefully helping a man in his 50s get off the motorcycle with his hands.

The man is wearing a set of golden "Taoist robe", with auspicious cloud shoes on his feet, holding a gossip roulette in his left hand, and stroking a long beard on his chin with his right hand, which is a bit of a fairy tale.

"Immortal, please show me whose grave this is." The village head bowed respectfully.

Di Lixian nodded slightly, and walked towards the edge of the pit.

He raised his eyebrows, glanced into the pit, and then said with a frown:
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

"How do you say that?" Only the village chief is qualified to have a direct dialogue with Di Lixian.

"I mean, this person was not buried carefully. It must not be the grave of our Tan family. Did someone in your village invite outsiders to look at the grave?" Di Lixian was a little displeased.

"How is this possible? Our village's ancestors were buried in the earth for generations by your Tan Xian family. How could you invite outsiders?" The village chief swore.

Seeing the sincerity on the village chief's face, Di Lixian didn't feel embarrassed anymore, but explained: "Look at the depth of this person's burial, it doesn't conform to my fairy law at all. According to the rules handed down by our Tan family ancestors, this person It must be buried to [-] meters, which is in line with the law of reincarnation of "three souls return to five elements". Look at this skeleton, it is less than one meter. This kind of burial method will surely destroy all generations of descendants. I don't know what is the mistake. A labyrinth of impostors pointing at people's children."

The village chief didn't say a word, because he was recalling whether there were any graves he didn't know.

Di Lixian didn't stop breathing, and continued: "The human bones have not turned black, which means that the age limit is not more than five years, but there is not even a coffin board visible in the pit, how can anyone treat their ancestors like this? They are not afraid of being struck by lightning. "

Di Lixian became more and more angry as he talked.

When the village chief heard what Di Lixian said, he quickly came to his senses.

"Immortal, what are you talking about? There is no coffin board?"

"Yes, this man was directly thrown into the pit and buried." Di Lixian answered with certainty.

"Half Immortals" generally only consider issues from their own professional perspective, but the village chief is not.No matter what, he is a relatively educated and prestigious person in the village. Although he sometimes believes in folk customs, he is somewhat more sensitive than ordinary villagers.

"Wasteland, bury people without putting coffin boards?" The village chief frowned and muttered to himself, pacing back and forth.

Suddenly, he stopped, stared at the bones in the pit with wide eyes, and shouted: "It's a bad thing, call the police quickly, it may mean who killed someone and buried it in our village!"

Just after the New Year's Day holiday, there was bad news. A body of bones was found in Tubazi Village, [-] kilometers away from the city. No information about the deceased was available. It was an extremely difficult case to investigate.

It took us more than half an hour to find the spot after driving along the bumpy country dirt road.As soon as we got out of the car, Team Xu, who was helping evacuate the onlookers, ran over.Before we could speak, he directly started to introduce the situation at the scene. This has long been a tacit matter between us.

"Director Leng, it was the head of Tubazi Village, Yu Guanghua, male, 59 years old who called the police. According to his introduction, Yu Shuanzhu, a villager in his village, shoveled out a human bone when he was digging a ditch in the morning. After many investigations, This skeleton was not buried by the people in his village, he suspected that someone killed someone and buried the body in his village, so he reported the case."

Brother Ming held his chin and listened to the situation of the case, while I glanced at the scene through the crowd.The place surrounded by the warning belt is located ten meters west of the main road in the village. Visually, it is a three-meter-long, two-meter-wide, and one-meter-high earth pit. The earth pit is long from east to west and narrow from north to south.The newly dug yellow clay was piled up around the pit, and in the middle of the pit was a gray-white broken bone about [-] centimeters long.It is not difficult to see from the soil layer on the side of the pit that there are still a large number of bones buried in the mound that have not been dug out.

After Ming brother asked briefly, he ordered us to prepare to investigate the scene.

Since the entire scene was outdoors, the surrounding ground had been trampled by too many people, and the corpses had been boned, so there was no need to analyze the footprints.Footprints are unnecessary, and fingerprints are even more hopeless.That is to say, I, the trace inspector, temporarily loses my function. Analyzing the ossified corpse is the time to investigate the forensic skills, so Brother Ming must take the lead in this case.

Brother Ming went down into the pit wearing protective clothing. After observing the situation briefly, he directed the criminal police team and the police from the police station to start digging up other bones.The entire excavation process is as detailed as archaeologists excavating cultural relics.

As we all know, the bones of adults are divided into four parts: skull, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs, with a total of [-] bones.The lack of any piece will have a great impact on the following analysis work.To give the simplest example, if the deceased had a severed finger or was disabled, this will have a directional effect on the investigation of the case, so the excavation of the bones must be done carefully, and no detail can be missed.

The excavation lasted nearly two hours, and when the skull of the deceased was taken out and placed in a body bag, I felt chills in my heart.I was still fantasizing that this was not a case, but the six circular wounds on the skull made me completely dispel this idea.

The arrangement of the wounds is like the ring scars on a monk's head, three in a row, two rows in total, and the diameter of the wounds is about [-] centimeters, which is very regular.This kind of wound can't be caused by accident, so the cause of death of the deceased can only be homicide.

Obviously, Brother Ming also noticed these wounds, and his movements became more cautious.

The entire skeleton has been exhumed, along with clothing worn by the deceased, a small amount of hair and a CD.Brother Ming first took out the clothes of the deceased from the skeleton and put them neatly aside. Since the clothes had been severely corroded, it could only be roughly judged that the upper body of the deceased was an army green long-sleeved shirt before his death, and the lower body It was a pair of gray-black suit trousers, and a pair of mille-soled cloth shoes on the feet. These clothes were quite cheap, indirectly proving that the deceased was not a wealthy person.

Next to the deceased's clothes lay a CD case with Teresa Teng's face on it. The CD had not been opened and was relatively well preserved.

In order to find some clues on the box, I took out the fingerprint light from my investigation box and pointed it at the outer package of the CD.

Probably because it was buried deep in the soil, I didn't find any fingerprints left on it, and I put it back in place with a little disappointment.

Brother Ming was nervously doing the work of stitching together the bones, while Lao Xian took Fat Lei and Ye Qian to collect soil samples around the pit.

The whole site is divided into more than ten sampling points, the purpose of which is to serve as a reference and comparison.

Some people may ask, what is the use of taking soil samples?In fact, there are many mysteries in it.For example, if a certain heavy metal in the soil exceeds the standard and this heavy metal is also found on the bones, then it can be ruled out that the deceased died of poisoning.However, if soil samples are not taken for comparative testing, the direction of investigation will be deviated, which will bring considerable difficulty to the detection of the entire case.

And at this moment, I, the only one with some free time, focused on the deceased's mille-soled cloth shoes.A detail caught my attention.

I hurriedly picked up the left shoe of the deceased and observed it carefully, then changed the right shoe.The different wear characteristics of the soles of the two shoes caught my eye, and I excitedly turned to Brother Ming and said, "The deceased may be a taxi driver."

three

Lao Xian and the others stopped what they were doing, and even the investigators who were protecting the scene at the side stretched their heads and approached.

"How did you judge?" Brother Ming put aside a phalanx in his hand, walked up to me in a few steps and squatted down.Ye Qian strode vigorously and stood by my side.

I watched a circle of people gather around me, cleared my throat and said, "Let's take a look at the shoes worn by the deceased. Everyone should have seen this kind of cloth shoes. We call them layered bottoms here, or old Beijing cloth shoes." .The soles of real old Beijing cloth shoes are well-stitched and hand-stitched, and the price is relatively high. A pair may cost several hundred yuan. The dead man’s feet are wearing high-quality imitation thousand-layer soles, which are also sold in our rural areas. The most sold cloth shoes on the market. The craftsmanship of this kind of shoes is to sew cloth uppers on the molded foam soles, so this kind of shoes are not different from the old Beijing cloth shoes in appearance, but the quality of the soles is quite different. Far."

Before I finished speaking, Ye Qian slapped my shoulders twice, frowned and said, "Can you stop moaning?"

I glanced at her pretending to be annoyed, then picked up the left shoe of the deceased and said, "This foam-soled shoe is poorly crafted, so the wear on the sole is obvious. Let's take a look at the sole of the deceased's left shoe." .”

As I said that, I showed the soles of my shoes so that people around me could see them clearly.

"Is there severe wear on the forefoot of the sole?"

"That's right, look, the styrofoam is blackened," said one of the investigators.

I nodded, put down my left shoe, and picked up my right shoe, the same as before.

"This shoe is more worn!" Several people exclaimed.

"Obviously, everyone found this feature."

I turned over all the soles of a pair of shoes of the deceased, pointed to the different wear characteristics on the two shoes, and continued: "We all observed that the soles of this pair of cloth shoes are more severely worn, and most of them are concentrated on the forefoot. It must be the stress-bearing part, in other words, the deceased’s forefoot is often stressed, and it has been in contact with a certain place for a long time, resulting in friction, which will cause this situation.”

Snapped!This time Ye Qian didn't say anything, and just slapped me.

I felt the huge impact, so I speeded up my speech and said: "This kind of wear and tear cannot be caused by normal walking, unless the deceased walked on tiptoe for a long time. If this possibility is ruled out, then I have reason to doubt that this kind of wear The worn features are due to a certain occupational habit."

"Anyone who has driven a vehicle knows that the driver will often use the clutch, brake and accelerator when the vehicle is running, so the wear characteristics of their soles are concentrated on the forefoot, and because the right foot needs to step on the brake and the accelerator at the same time. Accelerator, the left foot only needs to step on the clutch, so the right foot is more worn than the left foot. The two shoes of the deceased just fit this feature."

"It is unlikely that one or two drives would have developed such a severe wear pattern, suggesting that the deceased may have been a long-term professional driver."

"There are too many drivers. The drivers of the government, the drivers of large trucks, the drivers of small passenger cars, how can you judge that they are taxi drivers?" higher.

I pointed to the deceased's left shoe and said: "There are obvious wear and tear on this pair of shoes, indicating that the deceased's left foot was used to step on the clutch, so he was driving a manual transmission car. We know that manual transmission cars are basically It belongs to the lower configuration of the same model, so some government departments will not purchase it, which rules out the possibility that the deceased was the leading driver.”

"The drivers of general leaders don't dress so shabby." As my good buddy, Fat Lei added in a timely manner.

"Then how to rule out other situations?" Ye Qian admitted this, and then asked.

"In addition, there are truck drivers, bus drivers, and tricycle drivers who have been engaged in driving for a long time, but the specifications of the clutch, accelerator, and brake pedal of each car are different. Due to the heavy weight of trucks and buses and the large forward inertia, it is very difficult to brake, so the pedal surface is relatively wide, in order to prevent the soles of the feet from being stepped on in an emergency. Some small tricycles, due to the cab The operating space is limited, so the pedal surface is relatively small. Only the pedal surface of the car is of medium specification.” Then, I looked down at the two shoes of the deceased again, pointed to the wear and tear features and said:

"From the above, it is not difficult to see that the most severely worn part of the deceased's shoe sole is rectangular, and the size is basically consistent with the pedal surface of a car, so I can be sure that the vehicle the deceased is driving is a car with seven seats or less. I can even Commercial vehicles and SUVs are excluded."

"So what do you say?" Ye Qian persisted.

"It's better to observe the degree of wear and tear of the soles, but these are just experiences, and you can naturally sum it up after seeing a lot." It's not that I don't want to say, after all, no matter what discipline there is, there are things at the bottom of the box. In the face of many people, I can't tell the truth.

Seeing that I said such a sentence perfunctorily, Ye Qian consciously did not continue to ask.

I winked at her, and then said: "From the clothes of the deceased, we can see that his clothes are very cheap, but he has been driving a car for a long time, which shows that he is probably a type of person who drives for a living. In our city, only taxi drivers meet my inference."

"Xiaolong's analysis is very reasonable, but he has overlooked one point." Brother Ming opened his mouth at this time.

"Which point?" I pricked up my ears.

"The corpses buried deep in the soil are completely boneless. Except for special cases, the general time is between two and four years. In our city, besides taxi drivers, there are also black car drivers. Although our city Illegal car drivers were basically banned two years ago, but the exact time of death of the deceased has not been determined, and the possibility of him being a black car driver cannot be ruled out." Brother Ming's thinking is really meticulous, and he helped me make up for this omission in time.

Since the scene was outdoors, there were more and more people onlookers. Brother Ming finished splicing all the bones. After confirming that there were no missing parts, we returned to the department with the on-site inspection materials to prepare for the next step of laboratory work.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the busiest people are Ming Ge and Lao Xian.One of them has to analyze the bones, and the other has to do a lot of inspection work.In our department, Lao Xian's "craftsmanship" is the most high-end, and ordinary people can't understand it, so we all gathered together in Brother Ming's royal room.

This room is used by Brother Ming for forensic research. Various models of human tissues are placed neatly and orderly in it. In addition, there is an anatomy bed in the middle of the room. Only when the forensic anatomy room of the funeral home cannot be used normally, it will be temporarily supported.But for the bone case, this bed just comes in handy.

"Director Leng, what shall we analyze next?" Ye Qian has the strongest desire for knowledge in our department.

"We have determined the height of the deceased through measurements at the scene." As he spoke, Brother Ming opened his forensic record book and looked at a value: "The height of the deceased is 1.6 meters five. Knowing the height, we will analyze it next. It is the gender and age of the deceased. Although the body has been ossified now, we can still see some inherent characteristics."

When Brother Ming said this, he pointed to the pile of white bones in front of him: "Men and women have different physiological functions and different situations of engaging in physical labor, and the bones also reflect gender differences. Men's bones are generally thicker and stronger. Strong, with obvious protrusions at the attachment of muscles, thicker bone density and heavier bone quality; women's bones are thinner, with less obvious protrusions, lighter bone quality, smooth surface, and thinner bone density than men. However, the bones of women who have been engaged in physical work for a long time are not significantly different from those of men. At this time, it can be judged by the pelvis. Since women undertake the task of giving birth, the size of the upper opening of the pelvis is larger. Because the gender of the pelvis The difference has already appeared during the fetal period, and it will remain unchanged throughout life, so it can be judged that the deceased is a male based on this alone."

"Then how do you judge the age of the deceased?" Ye Qian glanced at the confident Brother Ming, and then asked.

"To judge the age of the deceased, we have to judge according to the most special type of bone in the human body."

four

Brother Ming picked out the skull of the deceased, pointed to the position of his mouth and said:

"From the degree of bone development of the deceased, it is not difficult to see that the deceased was an adult. The most accurate way to judge the age of an adult is to observe the wear and tear characteristics of the teeth."

"Wearing characteristics of teeth?" I heard that this term seemed to have something to do with our trace science, so I focused my attention.

Brother Ming glanced at me, and after making sure that my eyes were focused on the direction of his fingertips, he said: "When people eat food, due to the chewing movement, there will be friction between teeth and food, and between teeth. As a result, the wear of the occlusal surface and the incisal end of the teeth is caused. After the adult teeth are fully developed, there will be almost no change. Therefore, the degree of wear of the adult teeth will increase with age. We use this wear characteristic of the teeth A lot of clues can be found."

"Clue?" Ye Qian called out a little excitedly.

Brother Ming nodded, and continued: "Let me give you a few examples so you can get a general understanding. For example, shoemakers, they often use their teeth to bite the studs, which will cause serious wear and tear on the incisors. People who like to smoke , the wear of the lateral incisors is relatively heavy. There are also people who have been engaged in sewing for a long time, because they often bite the thread with their teeth, which will also cause unique wear characteristics. In fact, the most vivid scenes are some scenes in old movies. If you observe carefully enough, you will I found that the landlords at that time liked to wrap their teeth in gold."

"Zhou Papi seems to exist!" I recalled a scene from an old movie.

Brother Ming nodded: "At that time, people in rural areas ate rough and hard coarse grains as their staple food, and their teeth were more worn out. If you don't wrap your teeth in advance, your teeth won't be able to chew anything when they get old."

I didn't expect that so many things could be summed up by a seemingly easy-to-ignore feature of wear and tear. I couldn't help admiring Brother Ming in my heart.

Brother Ming did not stop: "Usually there are six grades of tooth wear. Grade A is a slight wear of the enamel; Grade B is the gradual wear of the enamel; Grade C is the tooth exposed in spots; Grade D is strip-like Exposed; by grade E, the tooth is highly worn; by grade F, the pulp cavity is exposed."

"Teeth wear will appear in different age groups. Grade A wear usually occurs under the age of 20, grade B from 21 to 30 years old, grade C from 31 to 40 years old, grade D from 41 to 50 years old, and grade E from 51 to 65 years old. Between the ages of 65 and [-], the final level only occurs in people over the age of [-]."

"Through the comprehensive analysis of the wear and tear of the deceased's teeth, it should belong to the C-level wear, so his age should be between 41 and 50 years old, and combined with the developmental characteristics of the deceased's skull, I can conclude that the specific age of the deceased should be between 45 and 50 years old." Between the ages. Before the investigation by the criminal police team, I can't be too specific."

Judging from his tone, he probably already had the exact age of the deceased in his mind, but in order to be conservative, Brother Ming gave an estimated value within five years of error.

"Director Leng, can you tell the time of death of the deceased?" Ye Qian still asked.

"I can only make a general analysis, but there are still errors. If we want to get a definite answer, we have to wait for Guoxian's test results."

Hearing what Brother Ming said, I quickly understood the deep meaning of this. He meant to use DNA comparison technology to judge the time of death.

If the deceased had family members, it would be impossible not to report the crime for such a long time. To report a missing persons case at the police station, the first step in the general procedure is to collect DNA and blood samples from the immediate family members of the deceased.

Brother Ming means that if the family members of the deceased report the crime, we only need to collect the DNA of the deceased and compare them to find out the situation of the family members of the deceased.Then, the exact time of disappearance can be found out from the family members of the deceased. This kind of accuracy rate can be accurate to the day, which is definitely much more reasonable than blind inference.

"By the way, Director Leng, how did the fatal injury of the deceased be caused? Why is the wound so strange?" Ye Qian looked like she was asking the bottom line.

Brother Ming frowned slightly, staring at the two rows of scar-like wounds, lost in thought.

"Could it be a business card?" I suddenly remembered the movie "Young and Dangerous".

"What's a business card?" Ye Qian shifted her gaze to me with a puzzled expression.

"A business stab is a weapon worn on the hand. There are spikes on the top of the bracelet. During a fight, the sharp spikes are like knives and can penetrate any part of the opponent. If the spikes are sharp enough Is it possible to pierce the skull under the circumstances?" I tentatively asked Brother Ming.

"You said it's very possible. If you use proper force, it's easy to pierce the skull. And I just observed that there are still a lot of dot marks on the skull of the deceased. These marks should be formed by insufficient force, because there is no puncture Through the skull, without our attention."

I was so happy to get Brother Ming's confirmation.

"Could it be that he robbed a taxi and killed someone?" Brother Ming frowned.

"What? Robbing taxis and killing people?" Ye Qian asked loudly.

"From the fatal wound on the head of the deceased, it is not difficult to see that there must be a certain height difference between the suspect and the deceased in order to cause such an injury. Moreover, except for the unopened CD, no property was found on the deceased's body." , Could it be that the suspect is the passenger of the deceased, after killing the deceased, stole the car and money, and buried the body in the field?"

After hearing Brother Ming's words, my little heart trembled violently. If the nature of the case is really to rob taxis and kill people, it would be troublesome.There is no intersection between the suspect and the deceased in this kind of case. Even if we find out the identity of the deceased, the incident has been going on for so long and the evidence at the scene has been lost. How should we start to find the unknown suspect?

Robbery of a taxi and homicide is an impromptu case among the cases received by the police. The target of the suspect in this case is randomly selected.

It wasn't long after the analysis of the deceased's bones was finished, and Lao Xian's inspection work had almost come to an end.

The five of us sat together as quickly as possible, and began to check all the physical evidence in this case.

The meeting was still presided over by Brother Ming.

"Xiaolong, what else do you want to say?"

"I don't have any good clues other than analyzing the occupational characteristics of the deceased."

"Jiao Lei, where are you?"

"Not yet."

"Ye Qian, did the criminal police team find out the source of the CD beside the deceased?"

When Ye Qian heard Brother Ming calling her name, she couldn't wait to open her notebook. It was very difficult for Ye Qian to get in the middle of a professional discussion like this. It was rare for her to say a few words this time. With her temperament, it's no wonder she's not excited.

五

Ye Qian opened the notebook, and rows of rough running script appeared on the paper. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that the handwriting was written by a girl with a loli face.

"This CD of Teresa Teng's songs turned out to be a genuine CD."

"It seems that the deceased's pursuit of music is comparable to mine." I interjected casually.

Ye Qian rolled her eyes and stared at me, and then continued: "Although the barcode on the disc is missing, we found the source audiovisual company through the delivery channel. According to their introduction, this disc is a limited edition of Teresa Teng. The edition collection contains all her classic tracks, and there is also an exclusive poster of Teresa Teng, which was sold out as soon as it was released, and this disc is quite expensive, selling for 65 yuan per disc, which is more expensive than ordinary genuine discs. More than double the price."

"When is the sale date for the disc?"

"On May [-] of the year before last."

"The time is so accurate?" I asked curiously.

"Because Teresa Teng passed away on May [-], [-], and this disc was also to commemorate her, that's why I chose to release it on May [-], and it was sold out after only one week of release," Ye Qian explained. road.

"The deceased was wearing a long-sleeved shirt and suit pants before his death. According to the temperature in our Yunxi City, the average temperature in May is around [-] degrees. The characteristics of the clothes can explain it. If the deceased bought the CD at the first time , the exact time of death should be between May [-]th and May [-]th of the previous year."

"You can't be so sure. If someone bought this disc and gave it to the deceased, then your inference can't explain anything." Brother Ming can always plug any loopholes I have in the first place.

"Guoxian, have you found any relevant missing persons alarm records?" Brother Ming asked with his mouth open.

"No."

"That is to say, the deceased was killed for such a long time, and no one reported missing persons? Could it be that the deceased was a bachelor?" I said.

"If the deceased was a bachelor, it would be easier. Then the investigation would be a bit targeted, and I'm afraid of something wrong." Fat Lei has investigated too many weird murder scenes over the years, and said with some trepidation.

"Ye Qian, do you have anything to add?" Brother Ming turned his head and asked.

"It's gone, Director Leng."

"Well, let me talk about my situation first. It's very simple and can be summed up in one sentence. The deceased was male, aged between 45 and 50, and the exact age was over 48; his height was 1.6 meters five, fatal The injury was a puncture of the skull, and the murder weapon is suspected to be a stabbing knife. Guoxian, let me introduce your situation." Brother Ming succinctly stated his conclusion, and looked up at the thick stack of reports in front of the old sage .

Lao Xian spread out all the reports, glanced at them and replied: "The genotype of the deceased is XY, male; by examining the bones of the deceased, it can be inferred that the deceased is an adult, but the exact age is unknown, and instrumental testing can only give a relatively rigid However, precise conclusions cannot be drawn. By analyzing the soil microorganisms and the degree of erosion of the deceased's bones, it can be concluded that the deceased's death time was about two years."

Brother Ming heard this and analyzed:

"This can also be seen from the bones of the deceased. In addition to the clothing of the deceased, it should have been in the season when the temperature was relatively high two years ago. According to the climate on our side, I personally think it was between May and October. Sometime between the months."

His reasoning has always been known for its accuracy and meticulousness. I have just come to a general conclusion based on the results of Ye Qian's feedback, but Brother Ming has not spoken until the old sage's test results are announced.

The previous deduction was only based on personal experience, and there was no scientific basis to support it. When he learned that there was no accurate conclusion from the old sage, Brother Ming gave a rough time period based on his usual accumulation.This cannot be said to be that Brother Ming's city mansion is very deep, but it happens to show his serious attitude towards scientific investigation.

Lao Xian has already closed the three reports in front of him, but there is another report open on the table.

"What kind of report is this?" Ming Ge opened his mouth and asked.

"Analysis report of the deceased's hair."

"Oh? Talk about it."

"The decay resistance of hair is second only to that of bones. During the decay process, it loses its luster first, its strength gradually weakens, its elasticity becomes poor, and finally it becomes brittle and breaks. It usually takes about 50 years to disappear. The strength of hair will change with the extension of time in the soil. Weak. The tensile strength of normal hair is 41 grams to 51 grams; when buried in the soil for two years, the tensile strength will be weakened to 24 grams to 40 grams; after ten years, the strength will be even smaller, only Thirteen grams to [-] grams remained; [-] years later, it dropped to between one gram and two grams. This also shows that the death time of the deceased was about two years."

"Well, it seems that various disciplines are pointing to the same result, which means that there is no deviation in our conclusion." Brother Ming nodded.

"I made a great discovery in the hair of the dead."

We didn't expect that Lao Xian would keep a hand, and obviously Brother Ming didn't expect it either, because according to his practice, the next step is the summary statement. After hearing what Lao Xian said, we all turned our attention to him. body.

"After my test, the copper element in the deceased's hair exceeded the standard seriously. At first I thought that it might be caused by his poor life and long-term use of inferior porcelain teacups, because inferior porcelain teacups would add excessive oxidants during the firing process, It is most likely to lead to copper poisoning in drinkers."

"Many people use inferior teacups. It doesn't seem to help the case." I whispered in my heart.

"At first, I thought this was over, but unexpectedly, I found a large amount of phenylenediamine in the hair of the deceased. It is a strong carcinogen, and its chemical composition is very stable, so it is not found in the hair of the deceased. It didn't dissipate."

"Teacher Guoxian, what does this mean?" Ye Qian couldn't help but opened her mouth.

The old sage adjusted his glasses frame: "The chemical substance phenylenediamine is widely found in hair dyes. Because of the presence of benzene rings and amino groups in its molecular structure, its composition is stable. Its main use in hair dyes is to grow Time guarantees that the hair will not fade."

"General hair dyes can be divided into three categories: temporary, semi-permanent and permanent. The content of phenylenediamine in temporary hair dyes is the rarest, and the content of permanent hair dyes is the most. Through my quantitative analysis of the phenylenediamine in the hair of the deceased, he Hair dye should be permanent."

"And permanent hair dyes are divided into three sub-categories."

"The first one is called plant permanence. It mainly uses the substances extracted from the stems and leaves of plants for dyeing, and the price is quite expensive. It is estimated that only those first-line stars can afford it."

"The second is called oxidation permanence. It is a mainstream product on the market. This hair dye will penetrate into the cortex of the hair and undergo an oxidation reaction, so that the dye molecules are enclosed in the hair fiber, and finally the hair changes color."

"The third type is called metal permanent. It is also a relatively cheap one. It is mainly dyed with metal raw materials. The dye is directly deposited on the surface of the hair to make the hair change color. This kind of hair dye is like brushing on the hair. A coat of metallic paint."

Lao Xian picked up the water cup in front of him, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat: "I thought it was the deceased's own copper poisoning, but when I examined the bones of the deceased, I found that there was no such feature, so this view was rejected by me." Excluded. Combined with what I have so far, the amount of copper in the deceased’s hair exceeded the standard, which is likely to be caused by his hair dyeing. What he used should be a metal permanent hair dye. Copper, as a metal, generally exhibits physical color It’s yellow or brownish red. Later, I inquired about this information, and if copper is contained in metallic hair dyes, it’s often a golden yellow dye.”

"Then why is the normal black hair we found at the scene?" I was a little confused.

"This is due to the decomposition of soil microorganisms, which makes the hair dye attached to the surface of the hair detached from the surface of the hair fiber, so what we see is black. But because of the long-term attachment of copper, a large amount of copper will be locked in the hair That's why I came to the above conclusion, and judging from the amount of hair found, the deceased didn't have much hair on his head, so he might still be 'thin-haired' or 'bald'."

"48 years old, male, driving a taxi or black car, 1.6 meters [-], with dyed blond hair, maybe bald, it's much easier to check." Ye Qian made a concluding speech.

"We have just analyzed that the specific time of death of the deceased was almost two years ago. At that time, our city had already banned black-car passengers, and almost no black cars were seen on the road, so we can be sure that the deceased was a taxi driver. Let's check in this direction first, and if there is no result, then change our thinking." Brother Ming added.

六

Ye Qian nodded while recording.All the physical evidence has basically been processed, and the rest of the investigation work will be handed over to the investigators of the criminal police team. As the link between our department and the criminal police team, Ye Qian must convey all the analysis conclusions correctly. When she breathed a sigh of relief, she seemed extremely serious, for fear of missing any details.

In our city, all taxi drivers must register with the taxi operating company, so such a targeted investigation is not difficult.We only need to call up the information of all the "brothers" who have been engaged in the taxi industry in our city for the past two years, and see if there are any who meet the characteristics, and we can basically find out.

Of course, all of this must be based on the premise that the deceased is a native of our city. If the deceased is a foreigner, the investigation work will have to be reinvented.In my father's words, solving a case is a process of continuous assumption and reasoning.

Fortunately, things were not as complicated as we thought. In just three hours, Ye Qian rushed back to the department on her red road racing motorcycle.

"Director Leng, we found it!" Ye Qian shouted excitedly towards the small building on the second floor of the department before the car stopped.

"What's your name?" I poked my head out in the corridor for the first time.

"Yu...you...cai...cai...cai..." Ye Qian yelled loudly while stepping on the stairs quickly.Echoes of her wafted from the end of the corridor.

Hearing the name of the deceased, I immediately went back to the office and typed out the information of the deceased on the computer, and Brother Ming, Lao Xian, and Fat Lei also rushed in.

When the family registration photo of the deceased was opened, I finally understood why the investigation went so smoothly.This man named Yu Youcai looks like a Picasso painting, and ordinary people can't understand it at all, especially the hair on his head, which is comparable to a kappa.In our country, it is not allowed to dye hair and take household registration photos. Obviously, this is a photo of the deceased a long time ago.Looking at the household registration photo, I imagined how he dyed his hair with golden hair. It was almost carved out of the same mold as the little Zhuanfeng who patrolled the mountains in "Journey to the West".

"The registered residence of the deceased is Tubazi Village? Why did the village chief say that there are no taxis in the village?" Brother Ming didn't have as many twists and turns as I did, and quickly got into the mood.

"Xiaolong, check, how many people are on Yu Youcai's account."

I hurriedly withdrew my small thoughts and quickly clicked the left mouse button.

"Brother Ming, he's the only one."

"Check to see if his account has been cancelled."

"No, registration is normal."

"Is the deceased really a bachelor?" Brother Ming said to himself while pinching his chin and frowning.

According to the normal procedure, once a person dies, the household registration must be cancelled. The deceased has been dead for so long and the household registration information has not changed, which means that no one will handle this matter for him, and the deceased has only his household registration. People, then he may really be a light man who "eats enough for one person and the whole family is not hungry".

"Ye Qian, let the investigators of the Criminal Police Team inform the village head of Tubazi Village, saying that we should go find him now."

Ye Qian nodded and took out her mobile phone.

I was a little puzzled and asked, "Why didn't you verbally summon us to the Public Security Bureau for questioning, but also asked us to run dozens of kilometers in person?"

"Rural people are very simple, so it is inevitable that they will be nervous when they go to the public security organs. When this person is nervous, his thoughts will be easily confused. It is better to create a familiar environment for him, so that the other party's thinking will be clear when asked. After a while, we will all wear casual clothes." Brother Ming shared his actual combat experience with me without hesitation.

Tubazi Village is a relatively backward village in our city, and only a few young adults in the village choose to work at home, and most of them choose to play the role of city builders in developed areas.

The per capita housing area in Tubazi Village will definitely make some people in big cities "look at the ocean and sigh". Every household in the villagers is a courtyard house covering an area of ​​thousands of square meters. All are Chinese cabbage.

The village head's house is located in the west of the village. The structure of the house is the same as that of other houses. Since the greetings have been made in advance, the hospitable village head has already placed an Eight Immortals table in the yard. The vegetable basket on the table is full of Verdant cucumbers and bright red tomatoes.

It is not difficult to see from the water droplets hanging on the vegetable skin that these vegetables have been washed.The countryside is not like the city. The hosts can bring some sweet and delicious fruits. Here, the simple villagers almost use the fruits and vegetables from their own homes to entertain the distinguished guests. Don’t think that this basket may not be worth a few apples. It is the highest treatment that rural people can afford.Seeing this scene in front of me, I couldn't help feeling warm in my heart.

"Hello, Village Chief Yu." Brother Ming politely stretched out his hands as soon as he entered the door.

The village head was not in a hurry to pick it up, but hastily rubbed his hand on his clothes before respectfully reaching out to Brother Ming:

"How many of you are the leaders of the Public Security Bureau?"

"Yes, we are from the Municipal Public Security Bureau." Brother Ming showed the police officer's certificate, and the rest of us followed suit and took out our respective certificates.

The funniest thing was Ye Qian, who even took out her "internship certificate".I almost laughed out loud looking at the photo of her DIYing herself.Ye Qian didn't know why I was laughing, and stared back at what I was about to say with vicious eyes.

"It's really the leader of the Public Security Bureau! Wife, hurry up and boil some water." The village head shouted to the old woman who was busy in the yard.

"You're welcome! Village chief, I'll simply ask you for someone." Brother Ming took the Maza handed over by the village chief.

"If you don't drink water, let's eat cucumbers. Come and eat cucumbers. They've all been washed." The village head is also a straight-hearted person. He reached out and grabbed a few cucumbers from the rattan-woven vegetable basket, and stuffed one into each of our hands.The hospitality is hard to come by, so we had to stand there in embarrassment each holding a small cucumber.

Then the village chief said to Brother Ming: "Leader, what do you want to ask? As long as I know, I will tell."

"Village chief, don't call me the leader. My surname is Leng. You can just call me Xiao Leng." Then, Brother Ming took out a notebook from his handbag and prepared to record.

"Okay, Leader Leng, you can ask." The village chief habitually took out a cigarette stick from his belt.Then he skillfully grabbed a handful of shredded tobacco from the gray cloth bag and pressed it into the cigarette nest.After lighting it, the village chief sucked his mouth and took a couple of mouthfuls, and soon there was a special smell of tobacco planting in the yard.

Brother Ming watched quietly from the side without disturbing.

"Okay." The village head looked up and said a little embarrassedly.

"It's okay, you smoke yours."

"Leader Leng, who do you want to ask?" The village chief started to get to the point.

"That's right. Was there a person named Yu Youcai in your village before?"

"For the 'yes' generation, it should be almost fifty?" The village head opened his mouth and asked.

Most of the people living together in the village are relatives of the same surname, and seniority among people with the same surname is very particular.In rural areas, newborns are not allowed to choose random names like in cities. If you are in the city, as long as you can get registered, no one cares about your English name.

In rural areas, however, a baby's seniority is counted as soon as it is born, and this kind of seniority is arranged from the family tree.Take Tubazi Village as an example. Most of the people here have the surname "Yu". If a baby is born with the character "You" according to the seniority, the child's name should be "Yu You×".Unless there is a baby who is born with a very high generation, as long as someone in the clan hears the name, they can guess the age of the other party.

"Yes, I'm 48 years old." Brother Ming replied.

"There are two people in our village with this name. I don't know the Yu Youcai you are talking about..."

"Maybe he is bald. He is only 1.6 meters five, and he is not very good-looking."

"Oh, you're talking about the bastard, the three balds, right?" The village head bald and said a dirty word.From his resentful tone, it is not difficult to see that this "Yu Youcai" might be the black sheep of the village.

Seven

"I don't know his nickname, as long as the village chief can match his nickname."

Brother Ming chose to inquire about the situation in the village. Now it seems that it is a wise move. Obviously, the village chief in front of us has entered the state, and he took two more puffs of cigarettes, and said firmly: "It must be him, it must be him. "

"Can you introduce him to me?" Brother Ming was ready to record.

"This three bald man has a bad reputation in our township. He idles around all day, eats, drinks, whores and gambles. He is the third eldest in the family, and he has two older sisters. After his two sisters got married, they severed ties with this three bald man. , It is said that his eldest sister married a rich man, and the parents of the third bald man were also taken to the city to support them."

"Then is the third bald man still in the village?" Seeing that the village chief spoke vividly, Brother Ming was afraid that he might make a mistake.

"It's gone. I haven't seen him for five or six years. His land has been abandoned for many years."

"When did his two sisters get married?"

"That's too early, at least ten years."

"Did this third bald man ask for a wife?" According to our guess, the deceased may be single, so this question is very important.

"How is it possible that he hasn't begged for a wife? Besides, he's begged for two, and he's ruined them all alive!" the village head said angrily.

"How do you say that?" Brother Ming frowned slightly, and we also perked up our ears.Judging from the tone of the village chief's speech, it is very likely that there are contradictions that we don't understand.

The village head narrowed his eyes slightly, looked up into the distance, and fell into memories: "The first daughter-in-law of the third bald man was a girl from the village next door. The girl couldn't speak when she was born. Three balds. Three balds and his mother sold almost all valuable things for this marriage, but this unsatisfactory product, not long after marrying his wife back, tortured her every day, and beat her with a stick every day. , Draw with the rein. He owed gambling debts outside and didn't pay the money, and let his creditors take turns ruining his wife to pay the debts. This kind of animal thing, this bastard can do it."

If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I couldn't believe that someone could do such a heartless thing.At this time, Ye Qian was sitting beside me with a livid face, it was not difficult to see that she was suppressing the anger in her heart.

The village head was talking vigorously, and didn't notice our subtle emotional changes: "Later, the third bald man's wife became pregnant, and until the day of giving birth, this evil animal was still playing cards in other villages. The woman's amniotic fluid broke, and there was no time to go to the hospital. , I had to find a stable woman to deliver the baby, but the baby's fetal position was not right, so I had to cut the belly out in a big hospital. The three bald men couldn't afford the money at the big hospital, so they insisted on giving birth at home, but it was delayed, and the baby and the woman were both gone. Keep it."

Human life is so despicable in the eyes of some people.At this moment, I actually felt that God had opened his eyes and accepted Yu Youcai, a destructive beast.

The village chief didn't notice my change, so he exhaled a puff of smoke and said:
"The first wife was murdered by the third bald man before two years of marriage. The woman's brother wanted to remove his arms and legs, and the third bald man was so scared that he didn't dare to go home for a year. Later, I heard that I went to work in Guangzhou and learned to drive a car. When I came back from the New Year, I wore a suit and tie, making myself look like a boss. Just a few days after the New Year, he brought back another woman from outside. There are more than 30 years old, good-looking, the only bad thing is that this woman brought a seven or eight-year-old boy. The three balds later lived with this woman in the village, and our villagers thought that the three balds were capable Let’s get down to business, I didn’t expect to be the same dick as before, just go to gamble when I have nothing to do, and I owe a whole lot of debt.”

"Could it be that he sold his wife to pay off the debt?" Ye Qian finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Not really. It may be because of the first woman. The third bald man is very afraid that the current woman will get pregnant again, and he still counts on that boy to take care of him. The child is already grown up. If he still does that beastly thing, Can the boy let him go in the future?" The village chief curled his lips.

Hearing what the village chief said, Ye Qian's complexion improved a little.

"And what happened later? What happened later?"

"If you want to say that the three bald men must have committed too much crime, whoever is unlucky with him, this woman died of a serious illness after only three years with him. It is said that the three bald men sold all the valuable things in the house and took them with them. I went out to work with my boy, and I haven’t come back until now. The house where Yu Shuanzhu lives in our village was bought from the three bald men.”

"What's the name of the boy Yu Youcai brought?"

"This baby's name is easy to remember. It's called Ding Yu. It's the same surname as his mother's. His mother's name seems to be Ding Moli."

"Then where was Ding Moli cremated when she died?"

"The certificate given by our village was burned in the funeral home in our city."

Brother Ming made a serious record of this problem, and then he asked: "Can you recall carefully when exactly did the three bald men leave the village?"

"This is easy to handle. I'll call Shuanzhu. When he bought the house, the three bald men must have written evidence." The village chief turned and walked towards the main room after speaking.

Brother Ming took advantage of this time to take out the cigarette rolls and distributed them to us. After only half a cigarette, the village chief stepped out of the door and said to us, "Six years ago in May."

After getting this date, our group got up and said goodbye.

Back at work, Brother Ming began to check the transcripts of the interviews with the village chief. After investigation, we learned that the deceased Yu Youcai had indeed obtained a driver's license in Guangzhou, and had an annual examination four years ago.This basically proves that the Yu Youcai mentioned by the village chief is the bone we found.

But even if this is confirmed, we still have nothing to start with, and at this moment, the unique sound of opening the door of Lao Xian's laboratory came from outside.His laboratory must be kept sterile at all times, so there is another disinfection channel outside the door of the laboratory room. When the glass door on the channel is opened, it will always be accompanied by a beeping sound.

Footsteps came towards Brother Ming's office from far and near. When the patter of leather soles hitting the ground became clearer, Brother Ming raised his head and looked out the door. Lao Xian was just standing in front of us.

"Guoxian, what's the matter?" Brother Ming asked.

"I found something in the process of analyzing the soil, but I don't know if it will help the case." Lao Xian said and put a newly developed photo in front of us.

In the photo, there are pieces of small pieces with metallic luster. From the appearance, they look like pieces of paper, about the size of a thumb.

"This is...?" Brother Ming was a little curious.

"I found this in the soil. Maybe I didn't pay attention when digging and broke it. I found a lot of these things in the soil. After analysis, these are tinfoil paper. According to the composition analysis, they are There should have been two colors before, one was yellow and the other was white. In order to confirm that these things were buried with the dead, I did a soil microbial test, which can basically confirm that these things were buried with the dead Yes." After finishing speaking, Lao Xian pushed the glasses frame habitually.

"Tinfoil? What does this mean?" I was puzzled.

"Did the suspect put paper money when he buried the dead? I understand!" Brother Ming slapped the table vigorously, feeling a little hesitant.

"Brother Ming, what did you find?" I saw his joy beyond words, and I also became excited.

"Looking at it this way, that Teresa Teng's CD may not have been bought by the deceased."

"Didn't the deceased buy it? Who could it be?" I still haven't figured out what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd.

"If I'm not mistaken, this thing should be given to the deceased by the suspect."

Eight

"What? Brother Ming, you mean that after the suspect killed someone, he kindly bought a limited-edition disc for the deceased and buried it together?" In reality, this is absolutely unreasonable.

"Don't interrupt, listen to Brother Ming." Fat Lei said and patted my forehead with his fat left hand.

Brother Ming looked down at the photo: "From the scraps of tinfoil sorted out by Guoxian, we can easily see that there should be a lot buried in this pit. In our place, such tinfoil is usually used to fold paper money. We The common ones are the 'gold ingots' and 'silver ingots' sold in the market, so I have reason to speculate that after killing the deceased, the suspect put some paper money in the pit before burying the deceased."

"Could it be that the suspect is timid and bought paper money for peace of mind?" Ye Qian asked with her mouth open.

"No, paper money is not buried randomly during burial, there is a lot of care in it."

"Especial?"

"Yes, let's analyze it from the beginning. The deceased had left the village for six years, and he was still buried in his own village after death. I understand. In the countryside, it is important to be buried in the soil. No matter how prosperous you are in life, you must be buried in your own village after death. This is an ancient tradition of rural people. The suspect is obviously familiar with this aspect. It shows that he may also be a rural person. So according to my inference, this case is definitely not a temporary robbery and murder case, but a deliberate murder and burying the corpse in the field."

Brother Ming picked up the water glass and took a sip: "Now I have a suspect in my heart."

"What?"

"Really?"

"I x!"

Obviously, none of us expected such an explosive result.

"Director Leng, is there really a suspect target?" Ye Qian grabbed Brother Ming's sleeve excitedly.

"Yes, it's the clues that Guoxian provided me with the pile of papers that I found."

Brother Ming raised his water glass, took a sip, and continued:
"Since we have analyzed that the suspect is familiar with the customs of the countryside, he will not be ignorant of the rules of using paper money in burials. In our place, only the younger generation will use this kind of 'gold and silver ingots' folded in tinfoil for the burial of the elders. According to the word of mouth of the villagers, "gold and silver ingots" cannot be spent directly by the dead when they arrive in the underworld. ' Only then can they be accepted by the underworld, so as to save the dead from suffering in the underworld, and ensure that the dead will not embarrass the younger generation."

"Do you understand this feudal superstition?" I gave Brother Ming a thumbs up.

"Master said that solving a case is the application of comprehensive knowledge. If you want to solve a case, you must know everything!" Fat Lei's meaning is very simple - "Your father taught you this!"

Brother Ming glanced at me meaningfully: "So I guess, the suspect who killed the deceased may be his junior, and the CD buried with the deceased is likely to be a sacrifice. According to my estimation, the deceased He must have liked listening to Teresa Teng's songs during his lifetime, and the suspect knew his preference, so he specially bought a limited edition copy for him to bury. If my guess is correct, then the suspect knew the deceased quite well."

"Brother Ming, are you suspicious..." I already knew the answer in Brother Ming's heart.

"I suspect that it was Ding Yu who left the village with the deceased. Could it be that Ding Yu's mother was abused by the deceased, and Ding Yu has always held a grudge, and did not start revenge until he grew up?"

"Ding Yu was already seven or eight years old when Ding Moli brought her children to Tubazi Village. They lived in the village for more than three years. Ding Yu and the deceased were already eleven or twelve years old when they left the village. Now it has passed. Six years, then he has already grown up and is fully capable of committing crimes." I calculated the specific age from the side.

"However, this is just my guess, because we don't know anything about the six years since the deceased left the village. Ye Qian, please contact the criminal police team and let them find out the circumstances of the deceased over the past few years, especially who he has a good relationship with." , whoever has enmity with you must investigate carefully."

"Okay, Director Leng, wrap it on me." Ye Qian took the order and walked out of the office.

"At present, we only know Ding Yu's name, but we don't know the ID number or where he is from. Moreover, this name is very common. It is estimated that there are many people with this name in the whole country. How can we verify the real identity of this Ding Yu?" ?” I opened my mouth and asked.

"That's simple. Didn't the village chief say that Ding Moli was cremated in our city's funeral home? There must be her cremation records there. As long as we verify Ding Moli's identity, we will have the basic information of her son." ?” Brother Ming’s case-handling thinking is extremely quick.

In the next few days, the entire investigation will be divided into two steps: the first step is to draw a large number of people from the criminal police team to start investigating the life circle of the deceased in the past few years; The search for Ding Yu's whereabouts began across the country.

Compared with the second step, the feedback time of this first step is much faster.

There will be circles when people communicate with each other, and the brothers in our city are no exception, and they also have a special dialogue platform to facilitate communication between brothers, such as where there are more people and there are jobs, or where there are traffic accidents. Detour, there will be information in this regard on the walkie-talkie in the taxi.

Humans live in groups. Although it is a public intercom platform, it takes a long time to chat. Even people who cannot be supported by mud can still have a few close friends. The same is true for Yu Youcai. During the investigation and interview, he found his former best friend——Fang Qihang.

This Fang Qihang was a taxi driver before, and later switched to a marriage agency business. His marriage agency is different from other companies. People who are formal and regular in this kind of business like to find some front houses on the street. Or a very popular community in order to attract business, but his matchmaking agency is set up in a corner alley.Through this abnormal behavior, we can roughly guess that Fang Qihang's dating agency must be well-known.

Sure enough, according to the in-depth investigation of the criminal police team, Fang Qihang's matchmaking business is mainly engaged in transnational matchmaking. This sounds strange at first, but in fact it is similar to the nature of the "Vietnamese bride" black intermediary that is often reported on TV. Same.

Our country clearly stipulates that buying and selling marriages is an illegal act, but it is very difficult to crack down on it in reality. Zhou Yu, a man and a woman, beat Huang Gai, one is willing to marry and the other is willing to marry, and the matter is handled in private. No one will do such a thing Go to the police.So although we know that this person named Fang Qihang may be doing illegal activities, but unfortunately there is no conclusive evidence.In a society ruled by law, there is no evidence to stare blankly.

For this kind of person who plays the sidelines of the law, it is the best choice to directly summon the criminal police team for questioning.

Mingo deliberately chose an interrogation room with pictures of guns hanging on it.

"sit down!"

Fang Qihang heard the words, and carefully pulled the wooden chair in the inquiry room aside, so as to keep a distance from Brother Ming who exuded a strong aura.

"Introduce yourself." Brother Ming didn't use the computer this time, but took out a pen and paper.

"My name is Fang Qihang, male, 49 years old, I have opened several dating agencies, and one is a good citizen."

"Have you watched too many anti-Japanese dramas?"

We usually come into contact with a lot of people like him, don’t look at the gold watches and gold chains that wear five people and six people, but when they see the police, they are worse than their grandsons, because this kind of people have no confidence in life and dare not raise their heads be human.

"Do you know a man named Yu Youcai? He is bald and has yellow hair." Brother Ming asked straight to the point.

"Three bald men?" Fang Qihang asked tentatively.

"Yes, it's him."

"Did he commit a crime?"

Brother Ming didn't say anything.

Fang Qihang thought he had guessed right, he waved his hands like a shofar and explained:
"Officer, I haven't seen him for several years. If he committed a crime, you can go to him. Why are you looking for me?"

"I asked you what to say, why are there so many nonsense." Brother Ming was a little impatient.

"That's right, the relationship between us is good, but that happened in the past. We haven't been in touch in the past two years, and we haven't even passed the phone once. If you don't believe me, you can check it!" Fang Qihang directly came to recruit "The queen mother draws the Milky Way", this relationship is very clear.

"Boss Fang, you probably have frequent dealings with our Public Security Bureau. It's better for us not to speak out about some things. If you don't give me face, then we've settled this problem today." Brother Ming's tone was tinged with The smell of menace.

People who work as "rats" are most afraid of having "cats" staring at them every day, Fang Qihang can't hear Brother Ming's subtext.

"Officer, I understand, just ask, I'll tell you anything." His attitude became much more sincere.

"The standard Lord who doesn't shed tears without seeing the coffin!" I cursed secretly in my heart.

"When did you get in touch with Yu Youcai?" Brother Ming got to the point.

Fang Qihang recalled for a while: "I met him about five years ago. At that time, we both drove taxis and often sat down together (meaning waiting for work). We became familiar with each other after going back and forth, and we both like to play. cards, have a common language, and then the relationship got along quite well.”

"This taxi belongs to Yu Youcai?"

"How is it possible? How much is a taxi? Who could afford it at that time? We all worked for the boss." Fang Qihang took out a pack of Soft China from his pocket as he spoke.

There are monopolies in all walks of life, and of course the taxi industry is no exception. There are many wealthy people who invest in taxis in our city.Some people may simply think that running a taxi business is not easy, but buying a car is all it takes?If this is the case, then the taxis in the urban area are not messed up?In reality, only taxis equipped with operating licenses can pull passengers on the road.

Taxi is not worth the money, but the certificate is worth the money.I remember that ten years ago, the taxi operating license in our city could be obtained for a thousand yuan, but now the transfer price of a taxi operating license needs to be at least 40 yuan. If it is a big city like Beijing or Shanghai, It is estimated that there are millions of them, and the supply is in short supply.

Therefore, many rich and big bosses took a fancy to this business opportunity, bought a large number of cars and applied for taxi operating licenses, and waited for the price to rise.The total number of taxis in each city is fixed. As long as the market is saturated, the government will not approve it again. This policy was taken advantage of by some people with ulterior motives, forming a monopoly, and the price naturally went up.According to the information we have, there is a man named Kang Qiao in Yunxi City who owns more than 100 taxis.

If you buy a taxi, you must operate it, otherwise the operating license will be revoked, so the owner who owns a large number of taxis will rent the taxis in his hands to the driver to run the job. The market in Yunxi City is to exclude the cost of refueling and maintenance. , the driver and the boss are four or six.From Fang Qihang's mouth, it is not difficult for us to know that the deceased Yu Youcai was a brother hired by the car owner.

"Go on." Brother Ming lit the cigarette.

"Although the evaluation of the three balds by the peers is not very good, I personally think that he is quite a righteous person. Once I borrowed 'paw money' (usury) to gamble and couldn't get it back. I was almost cut off by the creditor. If the third bald man hadn't given me his own money, I would definitely not be able to escape that disaster."

"Oh? And this?"

"I don't know about others, but these three bald guys are absolutely open to me." Fang Qihang said, patting his chest.

"Is there a boy next to the third bald man?" Brother Ming exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Yes, his son Ding Yu said that his dead wife brought him here. When we first met, the children were all thirteen or fourteen years old. Sometimes I went to play cards with the third bald man, and he asked his son to take over for him. .”

"You can drive a taxi without a driver's license, and you're still a child?" I felt a little unbelievable.

"The son of the third bald man looked old. Although he was only in his teens at the time, he looked like he was in his early twenties. And driving is very simple, you can learn it in a week. Besides, the traffic police don't often check for taxis. It's not a big deal." Fang Qihang showed no surprise at all.

Brother Ming didn't bother to dwell on this issue any longer, so he hurriedly urged: "Hurry up and move on."

Fang Qihang stubbed out his cigarette butt: "Later on, I stopped working as a taxi, because this job was too hard, especially at night, and I couldn't bear it when I was older. I found a way from my friends back then, and gave people Introducing a partner, I think this job can bring money, so I partnered with him to open a dating agency. This job can not only make money, but also accumulate virtue, killing two birds with one stone, so I have been doing it until now."

"Don't put gold on your face, we know exactly what you are doing." Brother Ming really couldn't listen anymore, and interrupted.

"Yes yes yes, smoke, smoke." Fang Qihang lowered his head in shame, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over after Brother Ming pushed him like this.

"Don't waste time." Brother Ming looked at the cigarette that Fang Qihang was holding up in mid-air, and didn't have the slightest intention to pick it up.

Fang Qihang put the cigarette back into the cigarette case with some embarrassment, and said, "Although I left the taxi business at that time, I usually kept in touch with the three bald men. It must be the report from the spring. I think it is not easy for the three balds to bring up a child by themselves, so I thought about finding a woman for him to take care of the daily life of the two. But the three balds are really ugly He's a bit fat, and he's bald, and many people don't want to meet him when they see his long hair. There's nothing I can do, so I finally asked an acquaintance to find him from outside."

"From where? Be clear."

"Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam."

"Oh, you are quite capable." Brother Ming snorted coldly.

Fang Qihang knew that Brother Ming was mocking him, but he still had a smile on his face.

"Is this Vietnamese bride willing to marry the three bald men?" Brother Ming asked as he knocked on the table.

"It's absolutely voluntary. We dare not do the thing of abducting women. Back then, the three bald men went to the Vietnam border in person. The other family members met, and the bride's family members all received the bride price. We are following the normal procedures for everything.”

"Tell me about the basic situation of the bride."

"She came here because I personally opened her account or something. Her Chinese name was given by me. It's the same surname as San Tuzi, and it's called Yu Meigui."

"Tell me about other information about Yu Meigui."

"She was 16 years old when she got married, about the same age as the third bald man's son."

Brother Ming drew a circle on this information, expressing his focus.

"What happened later? What happened later?"

"When the little daughter-in-law got married and came home, he even treated me to a drink. Afterwards, life was the same as before. The third bald man and I usually went out to drink and drink when we had nothing to do. Sometimes his son also participated, but because I usually have business Too many, and the number of times we meet is less and less.”

"He married the little Vietnamese daughter-in-law less than half a year ago, and he already had seeds. When I saw her, her stomach was already quite big, but the three bald men were not very interesting. They agreed to treat me to a full moon wine." Yes, but since I met that time, I can't even touch the figure, as if it disappeared out of thin air."

"When was the last time you saw him?"

"It should be the 'June [-]st' of the year before last. I took our second child to play in the park and saw him walking with his wife with a big belly. I haven't seen him since that time. I later went to his rental I searched the house, but I heard from the landlord that their family has moved out."

"Anyway, I have already paid back what I should pay. We owe nothing to each other. Since he left without saying a word, I don't need to look for him again with a stern face. Do you think this is the case, police officer?" Fang Qihang asked. There was some regret in his tone, it seemed that he still valued his friend Yu Youcai more.

"Okay, that's all for today's questioning. I'll call you if there's anything else." Brother Ming stopped recording.

"As long as I can help, a phone call will do. This is my business card." Fang Qihang got up and handed a red card with "Juxitang Matchmaking" printed on it to Brother Ming.Brother Ming didn't refute his face this time, he reached out to take it and put it in his pocket.

When we are policemen, we must come into contact with all kinds of people, like this kind of people who specialize in making a fortune by walking around at night. If you are too polite to them, they will kick your nose and even drag you into the water; but you have to treat this kind of people If you are too strict, he will hide away from you when he sees you in the future, and don't even think about expecting them to provide any clues.So you have to learn to grasp the delicate relationship with them, so that you can use it for yourself. Obviously, Brother Ming has done a good job in this.

Ten

By interrogating Fang Qihang, we got another important person in the life circle of the deceased——Yu Meigui.Moreover, Yu Meigui was pregnant with the deceased's child, which showed that the deceased had a family, but the deceased had been missing for such a long time, why didn't this Yu Meigui report to the police?There must be something strange here.

The news was also fed back to the criminal police team as soon as possible.On the second day, a shocking result was presented in front of us.

Investigators from the criminal police team found the deceased's son Ding Yu, the deceased's wife Yu Meigui and a little boy who was almost two years old in Guangzhou.And the current relationship between Ding Yu and Yu Meigui turned out to be a husband and wife. This result made everyone involved in the investigation dumbfounded. This family is really capable of doing any kind of weird thing.

After Ye Qian told me the results of the investigation, I rushed into Brother Ming's office immediately: "Did we really analyze it correctly? This Ding Yu fell in love with her stepmother, and then killed her stepdad." gone?"

"It's just a possibility. We don't have any substantive evidence. What if this Vietnamese daughter-in-law was voluntarily handed over to Ding Yu by the third bald man? You must know that for a family like the deceased, they want to beg for Ding Yu in a serious way." It's not easy to be a wife." Brother Ming can always come up with a variety of hypotheses.

"This……"

"The three members of their family have been brought back by the investigators, and they will arrive in another three or four hours. Will it be clear if Director Leng asks them one by one?" Ye Qian added from the side.

Brother Ming held his chin in silence, raised his brows slightly, and then quickly relaxed them. It was obvious that he was analyzing other possible situations.After a few minutes, Brother Ming spoke again: "Xiaolong, they will arrive in a while, take blood samples for all three of their family, and let Guoxian test it."

"clear."

When Ding Yu's family of three arrived, we had just finished dinner at [-]:[-] p.m. Brother Ming took out the question outline that he had already written and called Ding Yu into the inquiry room.

According to the information on Ding Yu's ID card, he is only nineteen years old this year, but looking at his bearded face, he looks like a 34-year-old man.Ding Yu's appearance is not outstanding, and he resembles the deceased Yu Youcai somewhat. He is 1.7 meters tall. The only bright spot in his whole body is his muscular figure. Although he is separated by a thick winter coat, I can still feel him. Solid physique.

"Do you know Yu Youcai?" Brother Ming asked, lighting a cigarette.

"My stepfather." Ding Yu answered simply and clearly.

"What about him now?"

"do not know."

"Oh? He's your stepdad, and you don't know where he is? It's not logical!"

"Officer, you also know that he is my stepdad, not my father. There is no blood relationship between the two of us. How would I know where he is now?" Ding Yu said without thinking.

"Who are you, Yu Meigui?"

"My wife."

"Where is she from?"

"Vietnamese."

"How did you two meet?"

"Yu Youcai asked an acquaintance to marry him back from Vietnam."

"Was it married to you?"

"No, it was for him to marry."

"Then why is she your wife now?"

"My stepfather doesn't know where he is now. Her family is still in Vietnam, and she and I are not much different in age, so the two of us made do together."

"Whose child is it?" Brother Ming asked a particularly sharp question.

"It's Yu Youcai." Ding Yu blurted out as if he had been prepared for this question.

"When did Yu Youcai leave? Did he say anything to you when he left?" Even I, who was listening on the sidelines, could feel that there was something wrong with Ding Yu, but Brother Ming seemed to be very patient, and he was still asking questions slowly. .

"I don't know. He often gambles outside. If it wasn't for his gambling, my mother wouldn't have died." Ding Yu said with some resentment.

"What's going on?" Brother Ming changed his questioning tone.

"My father died early, and my mother met Yu Youcai when she was working. Although I was young at the time, I could feel that Yu Youcai was not a good person, but my mother was overwhelmed by his sweet words. Confused, I insisted on going back to the village with him, but in the end? Yu Youcai knew how to gamble and drink at home, and even my mother had no money to treat her illness. It was a joke. My mother died of tetanus .” Ding Yu smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Don't you hate Yu Youcai?"

"Hate? Why should I hate? Just because he doesn't treat my mother?" Ding Yu's tone was cold.

"Isn't it?" Brother Ming raised his eyebrows.

"Although she is my own mother, she is not a qualified mother. She hangs out with a group of men in front of me all day long. Don't think that I don't know anything since I was young, so I don't have any feeling whether she will die or not. That's all." Ding Yu looked very cold-blooded, and from the way he spoke, it didn't look like he was lying.

"According to our investigation, you left the village with Yu Youcai six years ago. What do you two do for a living after that?"

"Yu Youcai took the driver's license test in Guangzhou before, so he found a job as a taxi driver. Although I was only in my teens, he forced me to learn to drive, in fact, to be able to work for him. , so that he could gamble money. Later, I almost drove the taxi by myself, and he went to collect his wages.” Ding Yu was no longer 20 years old, although he pretended to be calm on the surface, but when it came to certain places, his facial expressions It will also be revealed.

"When was the last time you saw Yu Youcai?"

"On June [-] of the year before last."

"Remember so clearly?"

"He, he, he didn't go home, of course I remember clearly." Ding Yu stammered.

"Didn't you say that Yu Youcai gambles outside every day? According to normal people's understanding, you shouldn't care too much if he doesn't come home." Brother Ming said with a smile.

"I don't know how I remember it so clearly, I just remember it anyway." Ding Yutong argued with a blushing face.

"Okay, you go back first, don't go back to Guangzhou for the next two days, I will come to you again if I have something to do." As soon as the words finished, Ding Yu was sent out by the investigators.

"Do you still want to ask Yu Meigui?" I whispered beside Brother Ming.

"Can't you hear it? It is estimated that the young couple have made a good confession before they came. We have no evidence now, so it is useless to ask."

Speaking of which, Brother Ming took out his mobile phone and called Lao Xian: "Have you got any results?"

"Yes, that child is not Yu Youcai's, but Ding Yu's." Lao Xian's voice came intermittently from Brother Ming's cell phone receiver, but these words had a strong resonance in my ears. Penetration.

"What? The child belongs to Ding Yu?" Ye Qian obviously heard the result.

"The child is almost two years old now, which coincides with the time when the deceased disappeared. It seems that Ding Yu put a green hat on his father." I said from the side.

"No wonder they wanted to kill people to silence them. It turned out that they were afraid that a child would be born, so that this scandal would be exposed." Ye Qian added to me in a timely manner.

"Brother Ming, we seem to have missed something and didn't investigate." I had a flash of inspiration and said with wide-eyed eyes.

Brother Ming, who was thinking on the sidelines, raised his head and asked after I said this, "Xiaolong, what did you say?"

I cleared my throat: "Let's go back and analyze this case again. If the nature of this case is robbery and murder, as long as the suspect's head is in good condition, he must have abandoned the car and fled after committing the crime. Otherwise, the target is too big and he will be arrested." The risk of being caught is very high, and the taxi that the deceased used to drive may no longer be in normal operation; The car is still in operation until now, do you think it makes sense?"

"That's right! Why didn't I think of that!" Ye Qian jumped up excitedly.

Brother Ming's reaction was not as strong as Ye Qian's, but turned around and walked out the door: "Go, check the car."

eleven
Through Fang Qihang, we learned the license plate number of the taxi that the deceased had driven. Finding a car based on the license plate number could not be easier.This taxi with the license plate of Wan DT 2211 belongs to a small boss named Hao Tao. He has three taxis under his control and earns tens of thousands of yuan every month from the driver's dividend. He lives fairly well. Excellent.

Within an hour or so, we found Hao Tao in a teahouse. After briefly revealing our identities, Hao Tao politely led us into a private room and served us a cup of the best Tieguanyin.

"Boss Hao is really polite. We came this time to ask you about someone." Brother Ming greeted him.

"Director Leng, what are you talking about? I have relatives in my family who work in the Public Security Bureau. Director Leng's name is very famous. If you want to know anything, just ask, and I will tell you the truth." Come on, what I said made me a little bit flustered.

"I wonder if you recognize Yu Youcai?"

"Yu... only..." Hao Tao frowned and slowed down his speech.

"He's nicknamed San Bald, with yellow hair, and he drove your car before." I reminded him.

Hao Tao heard me say this, and said with a smile: "You are talking about three bald men! How could I not know him, and he drove me for several years."

"Do you remember when he quit?"

"I really don't remember the exact date, but I can ask you. After the three balds quit, I found another driver. He has been working until now, so I called him, and he must know." With that said, Hao Tao took out Tuhao Jin's iPhone and pressed a series of numbers.

The call was quickly connected, and after a simple conversation, Hao Tao said, "No. 12 in June of the year before last."

"This date is two days away from what Ding Yu said, and it's not a coincidence at all." I became more convinced of our speculation in my heart.

"By the way, did the third bald man say hello to you beforehand and say whether you want to do it?" Brother Ming asked such a question after thinking for a while.

"No, I was so angry at the time. Where do you tell me to find the driver in such a short time? Fortunately, I have a good relationship. Otherwise, if the car is parked for a day, I will lose a day of money!"

"Who returned your car?" Brother Ming asked the point.

"His son seems to be called Ding Yu. The three bald men are no joke, but his son is really sensible."

"Oh? How do you say that?"

"I remember that incident very clearly. When his son came to return the car, he brushed the front and back of the car clean, replaced the whole car with a new seat cushion, and sprayed [-] disinfectant. I did it For so many years in the taxi business, I have never seen a child who is as good at trouble as his son, and I usually use this as a positive teaching material to the masters under me whenever I have time." Hao Tao praised with a thumbs up road.

"Did Ding Yu say that Yu Youcai has gone?"

"It seems that he ran away because of gambling, but I don't know anything else." Hao Tao recalled carefully.

"Well, I'm going to trouble Boss Hao this time, and that's all we need to ask." Brother Ming stood up politely and stretched out his right hand.

"Oh, no matter what, I'm also a relative of your policeman. That's the same sentence. If you need my help, just a word."

After talking politely with Hao Tao, we rushed to the criminal police team, and Brother Ming handed the transcript of Hao Tao's interview to Captain Xu.

"Looking at it this way, Ding Yu is basically sure to be the murderer?"

"You can't say that. We don't have enough evidence to arrest Ding Yu. Although he is suspected of committing the crime, we still need to find substantive evidence." Brother Ming said bluntly.

"Then what should we do next?" Team Xu was a little anxious.

"Bring Ding Yu and Yu Meigui back. Now that Ding Yu has lied and is suspected of committing a crime, we can detain him for a period of time and shake the mountain. This time I will make a breakthrough from Yu Meigui." Brother Ming seemed to have Answer preparedly.

"Okay, just do as Director Leng tells you." Team Xu hurriedly ordered the investigators to bring back Ding Yu's family of three who had just left not long ago.

This time when Ding Yu was caught, he was not as polite as last time, and he was directly put on a pair of cold handcuffs. Yu Meigui might not have seen this kind of formation before, trembling all over, curled up beside Ding Yu.

"Officer, what law have I violated?" Ding Yu opened his mouth and asked loudly when he saw Brother Ming.

"Send him to the detention center!" Brother Ming didn't talk nonsense with him, and directly ordered him to be locked up.

Deling's two investigators supported each other, and carried Ding Yu, who was roaring vigorously, into a police car equipped with a "tiger cage".

"Ye Qian, help Yu Meigui look after the child, I'll take her into the room for questioning."

"Okay, Director Leng."

As soon as the words were finished, Yu Meigui followed us into the inquiry room tremblingly.The evidence we have so far cannot prove that Yu Meigui participated in this case, that is to say, she is not suspected of committing the crime yet, so the questioning of her can only be carried out in the interrogation room.

"Can you speak Chinese?" Brother Ming raised his head.

"Yes!" Yu Meigui stared at Brother Ming with dull eyes, and nodded dully.

"Do you know Yu Youcai?" Brother Ming asked.

"know."

"How did you meet?"

"It was... he... brought me... from... us... to... here." Yu Meigui obviously wasn't very proficient in Chinese, and stammered.

"When answering my questions next, try not to be nervous and speak slowly."

"Ok!"

"Did you come here voluntarily?"

"It was he who gave my family 2 yuan, and my family was willing to let me come here." Yu Meigui's speech speed had already caught up with the rhythm.

"After you came here, who did you live with?"

"Yu Youcai."

"What's your relationship with Ding Yu?"

"He..." Yu Meigui's eyes flickered, and she suddenly stopped talking.

"Let me tell you, Ding Yu has broken the law now. If you continue to protect him, then you will also break the law. According to the laws of our country, both of you will go to jail, and then your child will be left alone. Do you want to see this result?"

In other words, maternal love is the most selfless and greatest kind of love.When Yu Meigui heard that the child was left unattended, she immediately panicked. She looked at each of us in horror, with reluctance and pleading in her eyes.

"So, I still hope you can cooperate with us." Brother Ming added while the iron was hot.

"I..." Yu Meigui still hesitated.

None of us spoke, and the atmosphere in the room was a little tense.

"I... I... I said..."

"Huh—" Hearing what she said, the stone I raised in my heart fell.

"Let's start then." Brother Ming picked up the pen.

"When I was first bought by Yu Youcai, I said that I would marry him as his wife. To be honest, Yu Youcai was very ugly. If it wasn't because my family couldn't eat and needed the money urgently, I wouldn't be killed if I was killed." I will be with such a man, but I really have no choice but to live with him."

Yu Meigui suddenly lost her voice when she said this, she lowered her head and kept fiddling with the corners of her clothes with her hands, her frowning showed that she was engaged in a fierce psychological struggle, and after a few minutes, the raised wrinkles on her brows flattened out. She looked up again and said:

"Yu Youcai had a son who was about my age at that time, named Ding Yu, who was much better-looking than Yu Youcai, and he was also very strong. Although I don't understand the customs of your local people, I can feel that Ding Yu has thoughts about me, I often find my underwear under his blanket. One month after Yu Youcai married me home, Ding Yu dragged me away while he was driving a taxi. into his room."

Yu Meigui's voice became smaller and smaller, and when she got to the end, she fell silent.

"Have you two had a relationship?" Brother Ming directly explained the following things for her.

"Yeah." Yu Meigui nodded with a blushing face.

"What happened next?"

Yu Meigui took a deep breath and said again: "After the first time, there will be the second and third time. Probably because we are about the same age as Ding Yu, we feel wonderful together, just like It was dating, and later, I found out that I fell in love with Ding Yu."

"It's normal for a long time to fall in love."

"Pfft—" Brother Ming just finished speaking, and I couldn't help laughing out loud.

Everyone in the room stared at me strangely, obviously they didn't find this conversation funny.After a few seconds, Fat Lei reacted and gave Brother Ming a thumbs up.

"Laugh, you two go out and laugh." Brother Ming pointed at me and Fat Lei with a sullen face.It is estimated that he himself realized that he used the wrong words.

As a Vietnamese, Yu Meigui, of course, does not know the profoundness of Chinese characters, but only looks at us with doubts.

"Si Yuanlong, you!" Ye Qian was the last one to realize the mystery here, blushing and just about to burst out, but I stared back.

"Okay, don't talk anymore, do you still want to ask questions?" Brother Ming knocked on the table vigorously.

The laughter between Fat Lei and I stopped abruptly.

"Go on."

Yu Meigui let out an "oh" and nodded, "In that month, Yu Youcai had to get out of the car almost every day, and Ding Yu and I took advantage of the free time to have crazy sex at home. A month later, I found out that I was pregnant. My first I immediately guessed that this child might belong to Ding Yu."

"I told Ding Yu about this and asked him what to do. He asked me to lie to Yu Youcai, saying that the child belonged to him, so I did so. Yu Youcai was so happy that he bought it for me. Lots of supplements."

"That is to say, on the day when the child was about to be born in a few months, Ding Yu and Yu Youcai went out in the car together, but when he came back at night, Ding Yu was alone. I asked him about Yu Youcai, and he said Yu Youcai Owing to other people's gambling debts and being hunted down, we must leave here."

"I was terribly frightened at the time, because Yu Youcai was chased home because of his gambling debts and beaten to the point where he was covered in blood. So after hearing what Ding Yu said, the two of us packed our things overnight and prepared to leave here as soon as possible."

"When Ding Yu came back that night, did he bring anything home? Think carefully before answering me."

Yu Meigui shook his head: "No, it's just that there is some blood on his body. He told me that a passenger bled because of a fight with someone. He got it on when he was sent to the hospital."

"Well, what happened next?"

"The next day, I accompanied him to replace all the cushions in the car, then returned the car to the boss, and the two of us went to Guangzhou."

"When you changed the cushion, did you notice blood on the cushion?" Brother Ming asked.

"Yes, yes." Yu Meigui nodded and replied.

"Then where is the replaced cushion?" Brother Ming asked presumably.

"Ding Yu originally wanted to throw away this cushion. I thought it was a pity to throw it away, so I washed it and brought it to Guangzhou."

"Then where is the car seat now?" Brother Ming spoke in a somewhat hurried tone. Obviously, if he could find the seat and let Lao Xian deal with it, he would definitely be able to find the DNA of the deceased, and the case would be considered solved.

"The cushion is at our home in Guangzhou. I sewed it on a chair and used it as a sofa." Yu Meigui said this sentence forcefully.

"Is it because you haven't seen Yu Youcai since then?" Brother Ming's record paused for a moment, and then he started asking again.

"Yes, I haven't seen it."

"Then Yu Youcai died, did Ding Yu tell you?"

"What? Yu Youcai is dead?" Yu Meigui stood up from the chair suddenly in shock.

It was impossible to fake such a terrified reaction. Obviously, Yu Meigui didn't know about Yu Youcai's death.Of course, this is the result we want to see, otherwise, if she and Ding Yu both went in, it would be too cruel for the child.

After Brother Ming asked Yu Meigui to sign and press his fingerprints on the interview transcript, he communicated the good news to Team Xu.Team Xu made a decisive decision and booked the nearest flight to Guangzhou. Because of the DNA extraction issue, the trip to Guangzhou was led by Lao Xian.

That is, at noon of the next day, Lao Xian received a good news. In Ding Yu's rented place, not only the car seat cushion was found, but also the suspect's tool for committing the crime—the business card.

As soon as Lao Xian came back from Guangzhou, he started intensive inspection work. Fortunately, the car seat cushions are very absorbent, which was not difficult for Lao Xian at all.In just a few hours, the DNA of the deceased was detected.In this case, a complete chain of evidence was finally found.

As soon as there was a result here, Ding Yu was taken out of the detention center for interrogation.

"We found the murder weapon at your home in Guangzhou, and Yu Youcai's blood on the car seat cushion. You don't have to play around with us this time, so hurry up." Brother Ming said with a copy still warm. The DNA report was thrown in front of Ding Yu.

"People are poor and short-sighted. If I wanted to throw away this cushion, you probably wouldn't have settled the case so easily for me." Ding Yu said calmly.

"Doing things pay attention to karma, there are not so many 'beginners' in this world!"

"This old ghost is dead, yet he still drags me to take care of him!" Ding Yu was a little bit reconciled.

"Let's start, hurry up!" Brother Ming lit a cigarette for him and stuffed it into his mouth.

Ding Yu forcefully clicked twice:

"Officer, let me say yes. I believe you can discuss the matter and don't involve Yu Meigui. She doesn't know about it."

"Don't worry about it, we won't make trouble for her, I assure you."

"Come on! Either way, the police at our house are better at talking."

"We'll start when you finish smoking this cigarette."

"En." Ding Yu nodded.

I watched patiently from the side as the cigarette on Ding Yu's mouth burned to the butt bit by bit.

"Bah!" As Ding Yu's cigarette butt fell to the ground, the formal interrogation kicked off.

"To be honest, I didn't want to kill him, but he forced me."

"Oh? How do you say that?"

"He doesn't see a doctor for my mother. I don't blame him. I don't complain when he asks me to drive for him. I have followed him for so many years. I have worked hard without credit. I just want to give the rose to me seriously. Married, but he just doesn't agree, you know, I earned the money he bought roses from his friend, so why doesn't he agree?"

"That's why you killed him?"

"Damn it, if it wasn't for me, Yu You was expected to be able to support Rose? He gambles outside every day, and I pay him back. If Rose followed him, he would have sold him to someone else to pay off his gambling debts in the end! "

Brother Ming saw that Ding Yu's anger hadn't dissipated, so he didn't interrupt him.

"When Rose was pregnant at the beginning, I was a little scared, afraid that Yu You would find out about the relationship between the two of us, but then I thought, I earned the fucking money, so he got in the way. Is this person his? How can there be such a cheap thing? Seeing that the child is about to be born, I feel uncomfortable when I think that my child will control Yu Youcai, a rotten man, and call him Dad. I confessed this matter to him, and I told him that the child in Rose's belly was mine, and I asked him to marry Rose to me, and I promised to compensate him 2 yuan."

"What's Yu Youcai's reaction?"

"How can I react? If I don't agree, I will say that I have ruined my stepmother. How can he have the face to say this? Are there few people who have been driving taxis these years? I have paid him money. Go whoring, he still has the nerve to teach me."

"This Yu Youcai may be old, and he keeps nagging in my ear every day. I think since he keeps going on like this, I should just kill him. Anyway, he doesn't have any relatives besides me. With this plan, I just bought a pair of stabs from the market."

"Why did you choose a business card? Wouldn't it be more convenient to use a knife?" Brother Ming began to ask detailed questions about the crime tools.

"Using knives is not technically advanced. I saw in movies that people stabbing people with hand stabs is really cool, so I want to try it too." Ding Yu said coldly and numbly.

"You go on."

"I remember that it was the night of June [-]th. I bought some stewed vegetables and drove him to a place where he used to gamble. This place was a mess when there was no gambling. He thought I was apologizing for him. Yes, but how did he know that I was seeing him off that night."

"When I saw him eating and drinking, I knew that his death was coming."

"I put on the business card and poked him hard on the head. I didn't even poke it into the head like in the movie a few times. Later, when he was unconscious, I poked him twice again. These two times directly Poke his brains out and spray my brains all over my face."

"I saw that he was dead, so I drove the car around the city with the corpse. I originally wanted to throw him into the Sishui River and wash it away, but then I thought about it, no matter what, we have lived together for a long time. In [-], it was a little moral to be a human being, but after thinking about it later, I still buried him in Tubazi Village, which can be regarded as returning to the root of the fallen leaves, and it is not in vain for him to travel in this world."

"I passed an audio-visual store on the way to Tubazi Village, and saw a poster of Teresa Teng on the door. Yu Youcai liked listening to Teresa Teng's songs the most, but he had never heard the original version in his life. I bought a limited-edition album at a high price, and then I bought some Yuanbao paper money at the Tubazi Market. With these, Yu You can go on the road quickly."

"People in the countryside go to bed early. Although it was only ten o'clock at night, the village was full of darkness. I sat in the car and thought about where to bury the body. Of course, it must not be buried in other people's fields. Otherwise, the ground will definitely be dug up in the coming year.”

"Fortunately, I lived in the village before, and I knew that there were a few pieces of wasteland that no one planted, so I found a piece of wasteland that a car could drive into, and buried the body there. That's how it happened."

As soon as Ding Yu's voice fell, Ye Qian's sound of typing on the keyboard also disappeared. After continuous efforts, this seemingly clueless bone case was successfully solved.

After the suspect was sent to the detention center, the investigation vehicle drove westward from the criminal police compound to the department, but no one ever thought that on this only way, in the top private room of the Ziyuan Villa Hotel, two men and a woman were Sitting on the sofa without making a sound.

The glass of red wine in front of the woman was half empty, and the rim of the tall crystal wine glass overlapped with the woman's pink lip prints.The ashtray in front of the two men was also full of cigarette butts.

"Sister-in-law, what time is it, why don't you come, will there be any problems?"

"Hey, I said Six Claws, can you say something auspicious, it makes me panic now."

"Madman, we are in someone else's land now, we have five brothers in total, I am a little worried!"

Madman and Six Claws couldn't sit still, and only the woman was still looking out of the window calmly, thinking.

In the monitoring room on the sixth floor of the hotel, a man with his hair combed back was watching every move in the room through the surveillance video.

"How long has it been?" The man glanced at the younger brother who was standing upright.

"Boss, it's been two hours."

"Well, it seems that this woman named Danqing is not simple. Madman and Six Claws can't sit still. She is so calm. I really like to cooperate with such a person." The man's words did not conceal his approval of the woman.

"Let's go, we can't neglect the guests, let's go down and meet these three business partners who came from afar!" After speaking, the man stood up and walked downstairs in style.

Squeak!A mahogany door exuding an elegant fragrance was pushed open, and everyone in the room looked towards the door.

As the gap in the door gradually widened, a dark-skinned, 45-year-old man in a suit appeared in front of everyone.The man's physique is very strong, with a height of about 1.8 meters [-], and a standard Chinese character face. The most memorable thing should be his thick sword eyebrows.In physiognomy since ancient times, thick eyebrows are auspicious omens. It is not difficult to see from the aura exuded by the man that he should be the protagonist of today's banquet - Bao Hei.

"Oh, I'm sorry, everyone, I've been delayed, please forgive me!" Bao Hei said politely, clasping his fists.

"Brother Bao Hei, don't be so polite. As the leader of the entire Wannan Province, you should be busy."

"If I'm right, you are Ah Huo's current wife Danqing, aren't you?" Bao Hei smiled slightly.

"Brother Bao Hei really has good eyesight." Danqing responded with a smooth face.

"You are Ah Huo's second brother Crazy, you are the third brother Six Claws!" Bao Hei looked at the two people beside Danqing and directly revealed his identity.

Don't look at the lunatic and Liupao who are often screaming behind their backs. When it comes to formal occasions, they can't fart, and they just keep laughing.

"Well, let's sit down first!" Bao Hei made a gesture of invitation with his hand.The three of Danqing naturally sat on the sofa.

"Ah Huo probably told you about my situation. According to your jargon, I'm going to want seven sets." Bao Hei went straight to the point.

"Well, Brother Huo has explained it to me, and there is no problem." Danqing replied with a smile.

"Also, I want to choose by myself, but I don't know if it will work. You also know that this is related to the problem of face in the future, so..." Bao Hei asked in a discussing tone.

Danqing was a little hesitant, but considering the benefits that this transaction could bring, she immediately said, "No problem."

"Well, I like to cooperate with you, it's refreshing." After Bao Hei finished speaking, he raised his empty wine glass, and Danqing tactfully poured red wine into the glass, and then raised his own wine glass in midair.

The corner of Bao Hei's mouth raised and he touched the wall of the glass with Danqing, and drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp.

Danqing saw that Bao Hei was giving face so much, so he drank a full glass without hesitation.

"Okay, have a good time. Our rules here, clinking glasses and drinking, then we are good friends. If you can handle this matter for me, I will definitely do what I say. Half of the supply in Wannan Province will be in the future." I'll leave it to you." Bao Hei was quite straightforward.

Danqing hurriedly put down the empty wine glass, took out an iPad mini from the lady's backpack and handed it to Bao Hei.

"All are in this tablet, Brother Bao Hei can choose slowly."

"Oh? This is convenient!" Bao Hei took it with great interest, and clicked on a red application icon on the tablet.

Danqing took the initiative to help with the operation, and after a while, Bao Hei grasped the essentials.

"Well, the quality inside is pretty good!"

Bao Hei praised while scratching.

Danqing just smiled apologetically and didn't answer the conversation.

The quartz clock on the wall made a "tick, tick" sound from time to time, and when the minute hand just made a circle, Bao Hei stopped what he was doing.

“2号、8号、16号、22号、34号、37号、41号，就她们了。”

Danqing quickly memorized these numbers in his mind.

"Don't worry, Brother Bao Hei, I will definitely make arrangements as soon as possible!"

"Don't be so anxious, this is not something to be anxious about, just follow your steps." Bao Hei said with a smile.

"Thank you, Brother Bao Hei, for your understanding!"

"Okay, now that the matter is settled, let's start step by step. I'll wait for your call." Bao Hei stretched out his right hand, made a "six" gesture, and put it next to his ear.

"Okay, we will give you an answer as soon as possible, then we will take our leave first!" Danqing stood up vigorously and said goodbye.Bao Hei didn't hold back, but just watched Danqing's curvaceous back disappear into his vision intently.

"Sister-in-law, why are you walking so fast?" Six Claws asked after him.

"That's right, it's as if you want to burn your butt." The lunatic muttered in a low voice.

"Shut up, even though my sister-in-law has done some things that made you uncomfortable before, you don't have to gossip behind your back every day, right? Besides, if sister-in-law didn't want to do this kind of business now, we can rely on Bao Hei This big tree? Do you think about the concept of half of the supply in Wannan Province? If this is the case, how much more money will we make than before?" Six Claws was a little angry.

"I just can't stand her arrogant attitude!" Hearing what Liupao said, the lunatic's tone became much softer.

"Both of you, talk to the car about something! Hurry up!" Danqing turned around and shouted at the two of them.

"Look, look, what kind of attitude is this?" The lunatic pointed to the direction where Danqing disappeared, and said to Six Claws.

"Okay, let's hurry up, don't whine!" Six Claws couldn't persuade the lunatic, shook his head and walked towards a black Mercedes-Benz sedan.

"Bang bang!" With the sound of closing the door twice, Danqing took out his phone, temporarily inserted a yellow calling card, and dialed a series of very strange numbers.

"Hey, Danqing, are things done over there?"

"I've encountered a little trouble. Of the seven selected by Bao Hei, six have been "watered". I'm afraid there may be a problem."

"Does Bao Hei know about this?"

"I didn't mention it in front of him."

"Then it's okay, you can tell me which ones later, I'll ask someone to 'water' them now, it shouldn't be a big problem!"

"I'm relieved when you say that." Dan Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, thank you for your hard work this time. I will send someone over after I have made arrangements here." There was a beeping sound from the phone, and the other party had already hung up.

"Drive!" Danqing put away the phone and said something to Liupao sitting in the driver's seat.

"Tud chug——" There was the sound of the ignition of the engine in the car, and Danqing looked out of the car window in boredom. Suddenly, a building outside the car window attracted all her eyes.

She looked at the gate of the Yunxi City Public Security Bureau with the solemn national emblem hanging on it, and said meaningfully: "I don't know if you still remember the me back then."
