Chapter 120 Murder and silence
"There really are!" Ren Yonghai continued, "It is difficult to combine these missing persons in different areas and at different times for investigation, because there are no direct clues to show that they are not independent cases. After all, massacres occur every day in every place.
It was a lost or missing case, so I focused the investigation on traffic."
"Traffic?" I asked in surprise, "What can you find out by checking the traffic?"
"This is what inspired me." Ren Yonghai smiled mysteriously and said, "Last time at the cemetery, you said that these missing persons from all directions converged on one point, which was an important key point. These people,
To be precise, it’s a corpse, there’s no way it could have come here on its own, someone must transport it!”
I nodded and said, "You're right, what did you find out?"
"Originally, checking traffic health is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I didn't hold out the hope of finding out the clue immediately. But this time it seems that God is helping us and I can find the clues smoothly."
"Oh? Did you discover something strange?"
"Lao Youxin!"
"Lao Youxin? Isn't he dead?"
"Yes, Lao Youxin is dead, but his death was strange." Ren Yonghai continued, "Aren't we investigating the ancient tomb case and the corpse robbery case together? Lao Youxin is an important person in the corpse robbery case.
Witness, we have been conducting a thorough investigation on him, so naturally we have to check his whereabouts."
"But I remember that this Lao Youxin had almost no social activities except commuting to and from get off work, so his behavior is unlikely to be suspicious."
"We did conduct an investigation last time, and the conclusion of the investigation did prove that he had no traces of possible deeds. However, unexpectedly, I saw him in the surveillance video."
"Monitoring? Where is it?" I was quite surprised. "Things are getting more and more interesting."
"High-speed toll station." Ren Yonghai said with certainty, "At that time, he was driving a minivan. He was caught on surveillance video when passing the high-speed toll station. Moreover, the time he drove the vehicle was very strange. It was at 12 noon.
about."
"At noon? That's not right. This Lao Youxin works at the morgue and usually works the night shift. Twelve o'clock during the day is his time to rest. Why is he driving at this time?"
Faced with my question, Ren Yonghai gave an answer and said: "This is just the first abnormality. Next, I followed his driving trick and checked the surveillance. Guess what?"
"What's wrong?"
"Lao Youxin drove into Xi'an and lost control until he reached Pingjiang Road. You should be familiar with Pingjiang Road, right?"
"Pingjiang Road is the only way to go to the cemetery."
"That's right!" Although Ren Yonghai didn't directly tell me his suspicions, I could already tell what Ren Yonghai meant.
"You mean, it was Lao Youxin who transported the body to the cemetery?"
But even so, I still felt that something was wrong. I had met this Lao Youxin before, and he didn't seem to be someone related to corpse training. Even if he had the ability, he didn't have the courage.
"Whether he is the mastermind or not, I dare not say, but even if he was coerced, it is a certainty that Lao Youxin is a major suspect in this case."
"Coercion?" I nodded thoughtfully and said, "If it's coercion, although it's more likely, it doesn't make sense."
"What doesn't make sense?"
"Why didn't he say anything when we found him, and he didn't seem to know anything about it."
"That's just him pretending! We all underestimated him and thought he was just a janitor."
"What's the motive? For money? How much money did the other party promise to give him? And why did he choose him?"
"I'm afraid we won't know this until the truth comes out."
"Old Ren, have you checked his trajectory before arriving at the toll station?"
"Of course we have checked." Ren Yonghai said, "His previous trajectory was very special, and we
After screening every complete route he took when he passed through the Xi'an toll station, we found that he started from a different place every time, but the time was without exception during the day, either eleven or twelve o'clock."
"Are the locations all in your county?"
Ren Yonghai paused and said: "That's not true. I'm a little surprised at this. The places he set out from are all cities where the missing persons are. For this reason, I also checked Lao Youxin's attendance record and found that he He goes to work on time and leaves on time every day, and has never been absent from work. How could he show up in a city hundreds of kilometers away without taking a break after get off work, and then drive for several hours to Xi'an?"
"That's the point of doubt."
"We are investigating this issue."
"No matter what the reason is, it is now basically certain that Lao Youxin played the role of corpse trainers in transporting corpses. Missing persons in different areas were transported by Lao Youxin from different places to the cemetery, and then the corpse trainers transported them to the cemetery.
Corpse training in this Kowloon Soul Resurrection Bureau." After listening to Ren Yonghai's clue report, I was able to sort out such a closed loop, "As the last corpse, which was the stolen corpse from the morgue, was transported to the cemetery, the corpse trainer
The Rakshasa blood corpse that he created has now reached the stage of completion. As a key figure and also the subject of suspicion and investigation by the police, Lao Youxin is now an abandoned son for the corpse practitioners, and he has to be discarded.
The point.”
"Your analysis makes sense." Ren Yonghai took over my words and said, "I now seriously suspect that this Lao Youxin was treated as a hot potato and silenced."
"It seems that we both thought of going together. I also think that Lao Youxin's death may have been a homicide."
In any case, Lao Youxin's death illustrates a potential problem, that is, the person who has been dormant in a hidden corner that we cannot see can't wait to sweep away all the "evidence" he left when committing the crime. In other words, he
I couldn't sit still anymore, and I had a premonition that danger was approaching.
"Since he wanted to kill someone and silence him, he must have had a premonition of danger. So the question is, Old Ren, based on your many years of experience as a criminal police officer, what kind of situation do you think would make this murderous murderer have a premonition of danger.
"
"I've been stepped on." Ren Yonghai replied without thinking, "Based on my years of experience in handling cases, there is only one situation that is logical. No matter what channel the other party uses, whether it's the wind or the smell,
It doesn’t matter, I’m just scared anyway.”
"Hahaha, Lao Ren, your metaphor is very good, vivid and to the point. I am also puzzled. According to common sense, when we were investigating the case of theft of corpses in the morgue, we cannot say that there was no movement. At least the police investigation
It was made clear. If the other party was afraid, they should have taken action at that time, but they didn't at that time and seemed confident."
"Yes, I also have your suspicions. At first, I thought it might be because with your help, we successfully found out that Lao Youxin stole the body, which made the other party unable to sit still."
I shook my head and replied: "If it is a chain reaction caused by Lao Youxin's investigation, the motive is not obvious enough, at least it is not convincing."
"Yes, this does not make sense. First, if this Lao Youxin was really an accomplice, and the other party was afraid of being exposed because of him and killed him, why did they choose this time and the time earlier, which is even more surprising.
Wouldn't it be more advantageous to use the method? Secondly, if this is not the problem, then there is another reason. It happened during this time period, which makes me suspect that there is something wrong with my investigation."
Ren Yonghai's words made me feel a chill running down my back, "What? You mean someone leaked the news?"
"Lin Kun, this is just my guess. I have no suspicion or any basis. I just rely on my own intuition. Think about it, no one knows about the fact that we found that cemetery. We won't be in that cemetery."
The only possibility is that something was wrong in the subsequent investigation, and many things during the investigation cannot be kept completely confidential.
Yes, it is entirely possible that the news leaked out."
I nodded thoughtfully and said, "Old Ren, let's not talk about this on the phone now. When will you arrive in Xi'an, we will have an interview."
"Okay, let's meet in an hour at most and talk about it."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
After hanging up the phone, I took a deep breath, and suddenly I felt a nervous feeling like "dark clouds are about to overwhelm the city."
I was restless and couldn't wait patiently at home.
I looked at my watch and saw that it was almost early in the morning and Qiu Louyan hadn't come back yet.
So, I simply got dressed and went to the bar to find her.
I went to the bar without saying hello. Qiu Louyan was very surprised. With her sensitive intuition like a midnight fox, she immediately realized that something had happened.
And I was also very surprised, because I saw a fat man in the bar holding a chicken drumstick in his left hand and a cup of coffee in his right hand. He was looking at the door while mumbling. At the door, a few female college students happened to walk in, which made the fat man look twice.
It shines brightly, and I can't wait to rush forward immediately.
"Damn, why is this fat guy here?"
If Fatty never reports to me what he does now, even I don’t know where he is fooling around.
"Who called him the uncle!" I cursed in my heart, but I didn't dare to say it out loud. This kid might become an important chess piece in the future, so I can't expose him too early now.
So, I went to the bar pretending to be nonchalant.
It seems that Fatty Guo has been cooking here for more than an hour. There are a lot of chicken bones on the plate next to him. He seems to be able to conjure chicken legs forever. And the people sitting around him are all
Left far away.
And Fatty Guo would wave the chicken drumstick in his hand from time to time and ask the people next to him: Hey, man, do you want some chicken drumsticks? Or: Beauty, my brother will treat you to chicken drumsticks...
The most depressing thing was the beautiful store manager at the bar who was so angry that she was so angry - Qiu Louyan. I thought this fat man was dressed in noble clothes, wearing a big diamond ring, and ordered the most expensive wine in the store.
As a result, the fat man magically took out a chicken drumstick from his arms, drank Lafite, and ate the drumstick again and again, making all the customers sitting next to him frown.
"Why are you here?" Qiu Louyan asked.
"What's going on with that guy?" I pretended not to recognize him and glanced at Fatty Guo.
"I've been raped. What kind of people have I seen? I've never seen anyone eating chicken legs and drinking Lafite." Qiu Louyan sighed, "If it weren't for the fact that the fat man spent a lot of money, I would have killed him long ago.
Kicked out of the store."
"Being friendly makes you rich. Why not do business if there's business?" I had to apologize.
Fatty Guo had already noticed that everyone in the store, from the boss to the waiters, were looking at him with unkind eyes. But he looked indifferent and even grinned at the waiters.
"You haven't answered my question yet, why did you suddenly come to see me today?" Qiu Louyan made up her mind.
"I have something to do and I have an appointment."
"A date?" Qiu Louyan looked me over and sneered: "You are really big-hearted. If you want to ask a girl out, why not go somewhere else? Do you want me to be jealous?"
"Look what you said, if it was a date, would I still come here? What's more, there is no girl I can date. I won't date anyone except you."
"I'm not kidding you, what happened?"
"Ren Yonghai and I were investigating a case and ran into some trouble."
"Is it still the same thing as last time?"
I nodded and said: "The person will be here soon. I suspected that he and I were being watched, so I arranged to meet here. There are many people in the bar, so it is not easy to be watched."
"Are you really being followed?" Qiu Louyan was quite shocked by this, "She is a police officer."
