Zhou Ze's mobile phone information bar was swiped by the weather forecast. In the next week, the weather in Linzhou will be as high as [-] degrees.He silently prayed in his heart that there must be no case recently, absolutely not.It would be great to let them sit in the office and blow the air conditioner.

  "Brother Zhou! Brother Zhou!" Geng Qing trotted to Zhou Ze and threw him a swimming trunk.

  Zhou Ze opened it, and was so frightened that he hurriedly put it away, for fear that it would be bad for others to see: "Geng Qing, what do you mean by giving me swimming trunks?"

  "Of course I'm going swimming!" Geng Qing looked at Zhou Ze with a squinty look: "It's such a hot lick, you'll get sick even if you stay in an air-conditioned room, let's go out for a swim, and we can exercise and enjoy the cool. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"

  "If you want to see a beautiful woman, just say it, what are you doing in such a serious way." Zhou Ze couldn't help rolling his eyes.

  But looking at the time, it was almost time for get off work.At this time, the sun outside is not so hot, and it is good to go out and have fun: "I will accompany you reluctantly."

  Geng Qing smiled and murmured: "It's obviously the same idea with me to see beautiful women, how about pretending."

  I thought it was going to swim in the swimming pool, but Geng Qing took Zhou Ze to the river.

  Looking at the bustling crowd by the river, Zhou Ze pinched his waist and looked at him helplessly: "This is the holy place for swimming you said? Where's the beauty?"

  Geng Qing tutted lightly, pointed in one direction and said, "Isn't that right?"

  Looking in the direction of his fingers, Zhou Ze almost couldn't hold back and slapped him: "That girl looks about ten years old, do you want me to go to jail?"

  "Aiya....." Geng Qing explained bitterly: "Brother Zhou, you can't be so vulgar, we come to swim mainly to keep fit, it doesn't matter if there are beauties! Besides, it doesn't matter! , There are so many people here, so lively, I think the atmosphere is much better than the swimming pool!"

  Zhou Ze snorted coldly: "You forgot to say the most important point."

  "what?"

  "We don't need money here." Zhou Ze was too lazy to talk nonsense with Geng Qing, he could think of his little thought with his eyes closed.

  Zhou Ze walked towards the river, Geng Qing staggered and followed: "Brother Zhou, don't be angry, the main reason is this day, there are many people swimming, and the swimming pool is full. I can't even put my feet in!"

  "Okay, I'm not mad at you again." Zhou Ze stopped and started to warm up: "As you said, you can swim anywhere."

  Zhou Ze also knew something about this river.The river is called Linhe, and it spans the city of Linzhou. Because the water on both sides is shallow, it will attract many people who love to swim in summer.Fun and safe.

  But just as they were about to go into the water, a scream came from Hanoi: "Help! There are dead bodies!"

  Zhou Ze and Geng Qing glanced at each other, and they all walked to the river to find the shouting person.

  It was a middle-aged man, he was wearing goggles, he should have just come up from diving.He shouted as he swam toward the shore.When he landed, the two hurried forward and asked, "What corpse? Where did you see the corpse?"

  "Just... at the bottom of... the river." The middle-aged man said breathlessly, "I just snorkeled and found a body floating at the bottom of the river!"

  Zhou Ze was a little stunned. If there are corpses at the bottom of the river, when the corpses reach the level of floating, shouldn't they float up? Why do they float at the bottom of the river?

  Zhou Ze decided to go down and see for himself.

  He asked the middle-aged man to borrow goggles and jumped to the bottom of the river.

  Sure enough, he was still some distance from the bottom of the river, and he saw a white corpse floating upright along the direction of the river's flow! .

Chapter 347

  He swam to the corpse, only to find that the soles of the corpse's feet were firmly tied to a stone by ropes.No wonder it didn't float up, but stood upright at the bottom of the river.

  Zhou Ze swam in another direction and tried to remove the rope from the corpse's ankle, but found that there was a white corpse not far away.

  It had been a long time for him to snorkel, and Zhou Ze couldn't hold it any longer. He could only surface first and ask Geng Qing to call the police.

  Zhou Ze sat on the shore gasping for breath to relieve the pressure inside his body.After Geng Qing finished the phone call, he returned to Zhou Ze and squatted down: "Brother Zhou, what's going on at the bottom of the river?"

  Zhou Ze wiped the water stains on his face and nodded: "There is more than one corpse at the bottom of the river. I found two temporarily."

  "Two?" Geng Qing's eyes widened: "My dear, there has been no murder case in the past few months, and once it happens, it's a big murder case! But I'm very curious, after a person dies, his body will become frivolous when soaked in water. Floating on the river, why are there no two corpses?"

  "Because the feet of the two corpses were tied with stones, the corpses did not float up under the weight of the stones."

  "That's not right." Geng Qing scratched his hair: "After the body is soaked soft, won't the rope come off?"

  "I don't know yet. In short, what I saw was that the rope was firmly tied to the ankle of the deceased. I thought that the murderer probably used a special rope, which became tighter when exposed to water, so that the corpse was soaked softly. It can still be kept under control.”

  Geng Qing felt that what Zhou Ze said was very reasonable.

  Soon, the rest of the second team rushed to the bank of the river. Some of them were responsible for evacuating the crowd and surrounded the crime scene, while others found Zhou Ze and Geng Qing.

  Zhou Xiaoyu and Zhang Yan looked at Zhou Ze and Geng Qing who were naked, and turned their heads shyly: "Brother Zhou, Geng Qing, you are police officers anyway, pay attention to the influence!"

  Zhou Ze and Geng Qing each looked at themselves, coughed lightly and said, "Isn't it time to change? You quickly send someone to salvage the body, and Geng Qing and I will change clothes."

  Because Linhe is not a specific swimming place, there is no special changing room here. Thinking that there are so many onlookers, it is not good for them to change clothes on the spot, so I went to the public toilet in the distance to change clothes.

  When he came back, the salvage personnel were ready, Zhou Ze specially instructed the salvage personnel: "The ankles of the two corpses at the bottom of the river were tied with ropes, and the ropes were connected with the stones. When salvaging later, be sure to Bring up the rope and stone too, understand?"

  "understand!"

  Half an hour later, the two Bai Huahua corpses were salvaged, and Zhou Ze could see clearly that the chest of the two corpses had been slashed by a knife, and the heart inside was gone!

  "Bring it back to the police station for an autopsy."

  On the way back, Zhou Ze's mind was full of the appearance of these two corpses. Judging from the appearance of the corpses, the corpses had been soaked in water for many days. From top to bottom, they were swollen and could not see the facial features.The blood inside the corpse almost dried up along with the wound on the chest.

  The first time the incident occurred, because there were many people swimming around Linhe, the whole process of salvaging the body was photographed and posted online.All of a sudden, rumors spread, and there are any version of the rumors.

  Some say that Zhou Zelai, a policeman from the Second Division of Linzhou Criminal Investigation Team, drowned in swimming, and some say that the murderer dragged the deceased under the water and killed him, and some even made up a story that a man's wife and the mistress both jumped into the river after an endless argument. The man was rescued, but the man stood by and both died.

  Looking at these reports, Zhou Ze couldn't help but sigh that people these days really dare to think about anything.

  Geng Qing slammed the table: "This is too much, Brother Zhou, how can you spread rumors that you are dead? I must catch this person, detain him for fifteen days and educate him well."

  Zhou Ze glanced at him and said helplessly: "You should be glad that the netizens didn't make up a love story for the two of us."

  Geng Qing laughed: "Indeed, otherwise, even if he didn't die, he wouldn't be able to wash it out."

  The autopsy results came out soon, and Zhou Xiaoyu said: "Brother Zhou, on the whole, the cause of the deceased's death was the wound in front of the chest cavity and the removal of the heart. Apart from this wound, we have not found other wounds on the skin surface. "

  "According to our analysis, the time of death of the two deceased is not the same. One of the deceased died about a week ago, and the other died three days ago. The DNA in their bodies has been extracted and the results are still pending. Weeks Brother, you can start investigating."

  "Where's the rope?" Zhou Ze asked.

  After a pause, Zhou Xiaoyu replied: "As you guessed, this rope is specially made and will shrink when exposed to water. This rope is not special, it is available everywhere in the market, if you want to check it through this rope, you may find It's a little difficult."

  "I just wanted to verify my psychological conjecture, not to use a rope to check." Zhou Ze said: "Geng Qing, let's check to see if anyone has been missing in Linzhou recently."

  "okay."

  Because it was too late, their investigation work progressed very slowly, and it was not clear until noon the next day.

  Zhou Ze put all the missing person information on the table and told: "There are five people in this missing list, all of whom have disappeared in Linzhou in the last two months. Through the DNA provided by Zhou Xiaoyu, we have determined that among the list of missing persons The two are the dead at the bottom of the river yesterday!"

  "The deceased who died a week ago was named Xu Yi, aged [-], a native of Linzhou, working as an occupational insurance salesman. The deceased who died three days ago was named Wang Gang, aged [-], a native of Linzhou, working in courier industry.”

  "The two deceased died in the same way, and their hearts were hollowed out and lost, which proved to be the same murderer. Judging from the rope on the ankle of the corpse, the murderer was a smart and cunning person. He thought of using water to shrink the rope to prison Firmly control the corpse from floating, and make full use of the pressure and water flow at the bottom of the river to wash off the blood, fingerprints and facial features on the corpse."

  Zhang Yan pouted: "This is too cruel..."

  "From my point of view, the murderer brutally murdered two deceased people and took away the hearts. This method does not seem to be revenge. As for organ trafficking, I don't think so. If it is really organ trafficking, why only the hearts are taken away? Why don't you remove other organs?"

  Geng Qing raised his hand and said, "Perhaps the murderer's family suffers from a heart attack and urgently needs a heart replacement to survive. The murderer really has no choice but to use this method?"

  "Impossible." Zhou Xiaoyu retorted: "I thought about this possibility, so I paid more attention during the autopsy. The blood vessels around the deceased's heart were ruptured. If it is a transplanted heart, it is impossible to destroy important blood vessels!" .

Chapter 348

  "What Zhou Xiaoyu said makes sense, but the most important thing at the moment is to find the remaining three people." Zhou Ze touched his chin: "Of the five people on the missing list, two have already passed away... It seems that the remaining Those who do not survive will not be able to escape.”

  As soon as the voice fell, the phone in the office rang, and Geng Qing hurried to answer it.Then his face suddenly changed: "Brother Zhou, I received a report that a dead body was found in the South Reservoir!"

  Zhou Ze kept his back, and hurriedly said, "Go and have a look."

  The corpse found in the Nanqu Reservoir, like the first two, had a large opening in the chest with a sharp weapon, and the heart was forcibly removed.The inspection results also showed that the deceased in the Southern District Reservoir was also one of the missing persons.

  The third deceased was named Ma Tian, ​​a native of Binzhou, aged [-], who worked as a door-to-door broadband worker for the Telecom Bureau.

  Zhou Ze was sure that the remaining two people on the missing list must have been killed by the same method and abandoned in a place with water.Without hesitation, he immediately applied to his superiors to investigate the major reservoirs and rivers in Linzhou.

  After a day's investigation, the remaining two deceased were also found in the upper reaches of the river.

  The fourth deceased, Zhang Liang, was forty years old, a native of Linzhou, and was a professional milkman.

  The fifth deceased, Zhou Shen, was [-] years old, a native of Linzhou, and engaged in vocational community service volunteers.

  The hearts of the five deceased were all removed. Through autopsy tests, their time of death was different. Among them, Zhang Liang was the one who died the longest. His body was soaked in river water and completely decomposed.

  In addition to the same wounds, autopsies also found that all five deceased contained sleeping pills.Zhou Ze analyzed that the five deceased should have been misled by the murderer to take sleeping pills under different circumstances and passed out.

  The impact of this case is very bad. Wang Yuanshan mobilized all the police officers and held a meeting: "The superiors attach great importance to this case and ask us to solve this case within a week. I know, the time is very short, but the death order issued by the superiors, who are we? Neither can be disobedient.”

  "Zhou Ze, you will take over the investigation of this case. I hope you will not disappoint me."

  Zhou Ze nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Team Wang, I will definitely investigate the case within a week."

  Back in the office, Zhou Ze also held a small meeting. He pinned the photos of the five dead on the blackboard, and marked the names, ages, jobs, and places where the bodies were found.

  Zhou Ze tapped on the blackboard and said, "After investigation, the five deceased did not know each other before they died. They have nothing in common with their age, work and social relations. That is to say, they did not know each other before the case happened."

  "According to the confessions of the family members of the five deceased, not only did they not know each other, but they didn't even have a mutual friend. This shows that the murderer was not a vendetta or love murder, but a random choice."

  "We don't know the purpose of the murderer for the time being, but I believe that this case must not be as simple as it seems, and there must be something behind it."

  Geng Qing frowned and guessed: "Brother Zhou, is it possible that the family members are lying? You should remember that we dealt with an exchange murder case before. When the family members took notes, they also said they didn't know each other."

  "I also thought about what you said, so when I sent Zhao Guangliang and Zhang Yan to visit, I specifically asked their respective neighbors. Their neighbors and friends all indicated that the relationship between the five deceased and their wives was very good. Zhou Shen and Zhang Liang are still good friends among neighbors and friends."

  "It's a bit tricky." Qian Tao said with annoyance: "The murderer's modus operandi is too cunning. There are no surveillance cameras where he threw the body, and no fingerprints can be found on the deceased. Time can't find out."

  "I believe that no crime will be seamless. If it is a donkey, it will definitely show its legs." Zhou Ze said: "Then we will start to investigate where the five deceased have been before they died. Investigate within their scope of work."

  "Yes!"

  Just as Zhou Ze was about to go out, he received a call from An Hui: "Mom, what's the matter?"

  "Zhou Ze, do you have time tonight? Your grandma is here today. He hasn't seen you for a long time and wants to have dinner with you."

  "Tonight?" Zhou Ze hesitated a little: "Mom, I have a case at hand, and now I'm in the investigation stage, I may not be able to go away."

  An Hui sighed: "It's just a meal, soon. Zhou Ze... You also know that your grandma is not in good health. She has been recuperating in the countryside for all these years. She finally came here, you Don't let her old man be lost."

  Zhou Ze thought about the time and the people involved in the investigation, thinking that it should be fine to have one less of himself: "Well, Mom, I'll go back later."

  "Okay, I'll go grocery shopping now, and come back when the meal is ready to save you some time."
