final abyss

Chapter 139 Clues (for the first order)
Before dinner, Han Yi suddenly received a call from one of the police officers who had been transferred to assist Han Yi.

Soon Han Yi contacted the cutter, and the two went straight to the hardware store where they found out about the situation.

When the two arrived, the policeman was already waiting at the door. After welcoming the two of them in, the policeman gave a rough account of the situation.

Then Han Yi nodded, and went directly to the boss who seemed a little flustered:

"Are you sure you sold this ax here?"

The boss nodded hurriedly: "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"Then why didn't you admit it?"

"Hey, what happened has nothing to do with me. I'm just a seller. You can't catch good people by mistake."

"Officer Han, I didn't admit this guy when I first came to ask. I was about to leave, but I saw a few familiar-looking axes in the corner of his shop. After a closer look, they were the kind of long-handled axes. He is suspected of being involved in the murder."

Han Yi nodded, then asked again:

"I didn't say you were the murderer. As long as you cooperate with our investigation, I guarantee that you will be fine. But if you dare to play tricks, then you can spend your next life in it."

The man nodded quickly: "I dare not admit it because I was afraid. Now tell the police officer, I will tell you everything I know."

"Xiao Zhang, record everything he said," Han Yi told the police officer next to him.

After watching the policeman next to him skillfully take out his notebook and pen, Han Yi began his interrogation.

"How many axes like this have you sold here?"

"27, look, the records are all here," said the boss and handed over a ledger.

Han Yi looked at the ledger, which clearly recorded the sales and purchases of various items, but he directly turned to the sales and purchases of this long-handled axe.

On September 1986, 9, 17 handles were purchased

1986年9月17日，卖出2柄，剩余4柄

1986年11月4日，卖出1柄，剩余3柄

1986年12月15日，卖出2柄，剩余1柄

1986年8月17日，进货20柄，剩余21柄

1987年1月3日，卖出1并，剩余15柄

Han Yi glanced at the calendar hanging on the wall, and then calculated the time on the ledger. This store started selling this kind of long-handled ax on July 1986, 7, and now it is August 17, 87. , then the middle time is almost a year ago.

Then he took out the records of selling one handle separately again, and sold one handle alone nine times in total.

However, these time intervals are very large. He excluded the days after March 97. After all, the autopsy time was there, and the ax bought after the crime was obviously not a tool for committing crimes.

This time, only three single-handled ax transactions came into Han Yi's sight, and the time of these three transactions allowed Han Yi to lock the time between November and January, that is, within three months.

Afterwards, Han Yi and the three returned to the police station directly with this notebook, and then started the investigation. They began to investigate the computer records, looking at the missing persons in Shangsan County during the past three months.

It was already dark, and Han Yi and Cutter, who hadn't eaten dinner, looked at the 15 missing persons who appeared in Xiyang City from November to March on the computer, and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly a police officer broke into their offices with a report:

"Officer Han, Officer Li, the result of the comparison shows that there is no one who matches the deceased among the fifteen missing persons."

Han Yi glanced at the result report, and then said: "Expand the scope, if the three counties of Shang are not good enough, then go to Xiyang City.

Hearing Han Yi's order, the policeman's expression became extremely bad, but he still nodded. After all, his superiors had taken care of him and he had to resolutely cooperate in carrying out the task, so he endured it.

"The deceased should not be from Shangsan County. After all, they have been compared. I am afraid that they are not even from Xiyang City, but from outsiders. It will be troublesome to find them."

The cutter was also a little depressed and said, this case is indeed difficult to investigate, and there was a glimmer of hope, but if the deceased was not a local, the country is so big, where to find it.

"I thought about the possibility that the deceased was not from Shangsan County, or even from Xiyang City, but a foreigner living here, and the murderer felt that the identity of the person might be exposed from the clothes, so he took it away took off the clothes and stuffed the body into the well.”

"Then you still let him look for it." The cutter looked at Han Yi speechlessly.

"This data will definitely be useful, anyway, you don't need to contribute," Han Yi said, squinting at the cutter.

"Tomorrow, seven of us will investigate the 15 missing people and see if there are any clues on them."

The cutter was stunned for a moment: "Didn't it mean that these 15 people did not match the deceased at all, why should we investigate them?"

"It is basically a dead end to find clues from the deceased. Then check the missing persons nearby to see if there is any connection."

The cutter nodded helplessly: "Let's do this first, maybe there is still a chance when the nationwide comparison data comes out tomorrow."

Looking at Han Yi who had no clue but remained calm, the Cutter felt a little helpless, but he was also lucky to have found Han Yi. If it were him, he would really be helpless for this kind of task.

He even knew that there were many high-IQs like Han Yi in the second act world. They were called wise men, and they belonged to the status of military advisers in the team.

Their existence is to deal with all kinds of weird and tricky bizarre tasks, but those who can be called wise men are also very few in the second act.

The two went out to eat in a hurry, and then returned to the police station. The next day, the seven of them set off again to investigate information about the 15 missing persons in Shangsan County.

After the day's investigation was over, everyone got together in the conference room of the police station, and the clerk who was ordered by Han Yi to investigate the data also handed over a data comparison form to Han Yi with dark circles under his eyes.

However, to the disappointment of both Han Yi and the cutter, after the seven people compared all the forms, they did not find the missing person who matched the deceased, so it is very likely that the missing person did not report to the police here. prepare.

This immediately plunged the whole case into confusion again. Looking at the listless faces of the people, Han Yi couldn't help knocking on the table twice, and then said:

"Is there any special situation in today's missing persons investigation?"

Several people present immediately spread their hands, expressing that they found nothing and did not find anything abnormal.

However, Xiao Zhang who found the hardware store raised his hand. After seeing Han Yi nodding, he began to tell about today's discovery.

"Among the missing persons I investigated today is "Sun Ji". He is a native of Changsun Village. He is 163 cm tall and has a thin build. Obviously he cannot be the murderer. After all, the murderer is 183 cm tall and has a rather burly body. He cannot subdue him." , but there was something very strange about him before he disappeared."
