Based on Xu Wenkai's daily behavior and his narration during hypnosis, it was not difficult for the police to pinpoint the abandoned factory across from Meijing East Street as the site where the body was buried.
The abandoned factory is not large in area. The part next to the street is a yard, and inside the yard is a three-story factory building. The factory currently belongs to a boss named Li, who bought the place after the factory closed down.
We invested in the renovation of the factory building. The factory building was divided into many single rooms and converted into tube buildings. There is a corridor in the middle of each floor, and rooms on both sides of the corridor. There are 40 rooms on each floor on both sides of the corridor, and there are 120 tenants on the third floor.
.
Since Xu Wenkai did not point out the specific location where the body was buried, the police did not dare to act rashly. If the body was buried in the courtyard, it would be easier, but if the body was buried under a factory under construction, it would be difficult to excavate it.
Big.
There are 120 tenants in the compound, and the total number of residents may exceed 200. If the matter of buried corpses is revealed, it may cause panic among the tenants. It will also definitely have a great impact on the owner's future housing rentals.
With these questions in mind, Hu Jianzhong, the head of the Gui'an Criminal Police Detachment, invited Yu Jun, the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation, to chair a meeting to discuss the next action plan.
"What we can determine now is that the body must be buried in the factory, but we cannot determine the specific location." Hu Jianzhong said after reporting the situation.
"Although the area of the factory is not very large, we can't dig it all out to find the corpses. In addition, the corpses have been buried underground for such a long time. Whether they can still be found is another problem," Director Yu said.
"I can answer the second question." Dr. Qiao adjusted his clothes, sat up straight and said:
"After a corpse is buried in the soil for 2-3 years at most, the soft tissue will completely rot and turn into a mud-like material. This is what is commonly known as the process of skeletalization of the corpse. Now corpses have been buried underground for up to 15 years.
For a long time, it must have turned into a pile of bones."
"Can we confirm the identity of the corpse through the bones?" Director Yu asked.
"We can extract DNA from the bones for identification, and we can determine the age and gender of the deceased. Since we do not have DNA samples from the five old people during their lifetime, we cannot determine the identity of the deceased. We can also use the DNA information of the deceased to identify the current Xujiacun residents.
Analyze the DNA information to find out the blood relationship between them and the distance of the blood relationship." Dr. Qiao answered.
"Since we can determine the distance of the blood relationship and determine the gender, if we know the names and genders of the five of them, can we also confirm their identities?" Su Le asked.
"It depends on what kind of kinship the five of them have with the existing villagers. It is feasible to determine their identities through inference based on the existing information and DNA identification results." Dr. Qiao answered.
"The difficulty now is how to accurately determine the location of the body." Hu Jianzhong said.
"As far as I know, there is currently a microwave penetrating three-dimensional imaging radar that can detect objects of any material at a depth of 12 meters underground, and can be converted into real-time three-dimensional images. This instrument should be able to determine the specific location of buried corpses." Dr. Qiao
explain.
"Can this instrument detect bones in the ground?" Su Le asked.
"It should be possible. The principle of this instrument is to distinguish and identify the shape of objects based on the density of different materials. There is a big difference between human bones and the surrounding soil, so it should be easy to identify." Dr. Qiao answered.
"Where can I find this kind of equipment?" Director Yu asked.
"Users of this kind of instruments are usually geological departments or archaeological departments. I don't know if there are any such units nearby," Dr. Qiao said.
"Oh, the geology department does have one. Our Gui'an city is mountainous and rich in mineral resources. The original No. 1 Geological Brigade of Jiangnan Province was based in our city. I can ask someone to contact us." Director Yu was happy.
explain.
Director Yu was very efficient, and he soon contacted the equipment and technicians, who said they could come over for survey at any time. The problem now became what was the reason for conducting the survey, and how to negotiate with the owner of the factory.
"It must not be said that we are looking for corpses. People care about these things very much. If they know that they are sleeping on five corpses all day long, they don't know what trouble will happen." Hu Jianzhong said.
"What should I say?" Zhang Pengfei asked.
"Because this matter requires the cooperation of the owners, it is better to tell the truth to the owners," Su Le said.
"You can tell the owner about the corpse. What the owner cares about is the rent of the house. He doesn't care whether there is a corpse underground." Dr. Qiao said.
"What if the owner doesn't cooperate?" Zhang Pengfei asked.
"Don't worry, I have a solution, and the owner will definitely cooperate." Dr. Qiao answered mysteriously.
In order to facilitate the conversation and put some pressure on the owner, Hu Jianzhong asked the police from the police station to contact the owner of the factory, Boss Li, and invited him to the police station to discuss the matter.
Boss Li wears glasses and gives the impression of being a shrewd businessman. He came to the conference room of the police station anxiously. After entering the door, he first nodded and bowed to a circle of people, and then took out a cigarette from his pocket and gave it away.
One circle.
"Sit down, Boss Li." Hu Jianzhong stood up and offered his seat to Boss Li.
"I wonder why the police officers called you down?" Boss Li asked cautiously.
"Don't be nervous, Boss Li. We have invited you to discuss the matter." Su Le usually takes the lead in such matters. He stood up and walked to Boss Li's side and said.
After listening to Su Le's words, Boss Li felt that he was a little uncomfortable sitting, so he wanted to stand up, but Su Le pushed him down on the chair.
"Is that factory to the east of Meijing Community yours?" Su Le asked.
"Yes, it's mine. My procedures are complete, police officer." Boss Li quickly replied.
"Whether it is complete or not is not the main problem. The main thing is that your factory is involved in a case." Su Le pulled up the chair next to Boss Li and sat next to him.
"Ah! Case? What case?" Boss Li asked in surprise.
"A murder case." Su Le said.
"What? Murder case!" Boss Li suddenly stood up.
Su Le pulled his arm with his hand and pressed him on the chair.
"Don't worry, the case has nothing to do with you, it has something to do with your factory."
"What's going on?"
"It's like this. We are investigating a case. According to the criminals, the victim's body was buried in the yard of your factory or under the factory building."
"Is there such a thing?" Boss Li's face had begun to turn dark at this time.
"Yes, we brought you here today to discuss exhuming the corpse."
"Digging up corpses! That's not possible. If you dig up corpses under my house, how can I rent my house out in the future? No, no, absolutely not!" When Boss Li heard that he was going to dig up corpses, the veins on his face popped out in excitement.
came out.
"We also considered your difficulties, so we brought you here for discussion."
"No, you can't dig. The people who live there are all small businesses. What that group cares about most is good luck. If you dig up a corpse, everyone will definitely run away." Boss Li shook his head like a rattle.
.
"We can not announce to the public that we are exhuming bodies, so that your tenants will not run away."
"That's not okay. They live well. If you go in and dig around, no one will doubt you." Boss Li still disagreed.
"We will use instruments to detect first and determine the specific location before digging. We will never dig all over the yard."
"No, if you go in and make such a big fuss, how can there be an airtight wall?" Boss Li disagreed.
When Dr. Qiao heard this, he saw that Boss Li was not good at anything, so he stood up and walked to him, patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Boss Li, you are a businessman and very smart."
"No, no, I just collect rent and make ends meet." Boss Li said hypocritically and modestly.
"If you think about it carefully, this is a murder case. Do you think our police will give up just because you disagree?"
"Well, that won't harm my interests. If you dig it out by force, I will sue you and ask for financial compensation."
"Compensation is no problem. How much compensation do you think we can give you? What happens after the compensation is given? Will anyone rent your house again? Who will suffer in the end? I think you should be able to calculate it clearly, right?"
"This..." Boss Li didn't know how to answer.
"Also, why are there corpses under your house? Do you know there are corpses under your house? Do we also need to find out about this?"
"This..., how did I know there was a corpse down there? I..." Boss Li was already sweating profusely.
"So we have invited you here for your own good. We will work with you to find a perfect solution that will not affect our handling of the case or your business."
"Then..., what do you think we should do?" Boss Li lost his temper immediately after being frightened by Dr. Qiao, and sat there dejectedly.
“We definitely have to dig, but what we say to the outside world about what we dig is very important,” Hu Jianzhong said.
"Digging for bombs?" Zhang Pengfei made everyone laugh as soon as he said this.
"It's better to dig up corpses then!" Su Le said with a smile.
"Why are you laughing so much? Then why are you digging?"
Everyone thought about it for a long time, some said mining, some said digging for cultural relics, but each explanation was unsatisfactory.
"Hey, I remembered it." Boss Li suddenly stood up excitedly, smiled and said to everyone:
"Dig for gold! Let's just say dig for gold in the ground!"
"Ah? Digging for gold? Then why is there gold here?" Zhang Pengfei asked.
"Hey, that's hard to say. Let's just say that there was a wealthy businessman in the Republic of China who made a lot of money. Before he followed Chiang Kai-shek to Taiwan, he buried a batch of gold here. Now he wants to donate the gold to the country."
Boss Li said eloquently.
"Okay, Boss Li, you can go write a novel." Zhang Pengfei said.
"This is a really good idea. Not only will digging out gold not affect the rental of the house, but it may also increase the rent. Who wouldn't want to live in a building where gold is dug out? Boss Li is indeed a businessman and has a business mind." Qiao
The doctor said with a thumbs up.
"Hehe, where, where, I'm just messing around." Boss Li said, scratching his head in embarrassment.
