"A joke? Leader, how dare I make such a joke about something related to a murder case?"
After Du Weiguo said this in a teasing tone, he directly turned away from Zouping and went to Tang Wen to discuss the case.
He was completely tired of making excuses with guys like Zouping. It was just grinding his teeth! It was a pure waste of time.
Speaking of which, people like him have actually existed since ancient times. They may not necessarily be treacherous and evil, but they are even more despicable.
Because they adhere to the principle of inaction. If they do more, they will make more mistakes, but if they don’t do more, it will be better! It can be summed up in one word: corpse meal prime position!
Du Weiguo strode up to Tang Wen: "How is it? Tang Chu, have you come to a conclusion?"
Standing in front of the map, Du Weiguo looked at the thin lines drawn with red pencil on the map and asked in a deep voice. Tang Wen pondered for a moment and then nodded:
"Du Chu, the route has basically been determined so far. There is no problem. It's just that the travel time is a bit uncertain!
After all, the murderer can refer to different means of transportation, so the speed of travel can vary greatly."
Du Weiguo's eyes flickered. He stared at the red line on the map, pondered for a moment, and agreed very much with what he said:
"Well, Tang Chu, you have considered it very comprehensively, but if we go by our hypothesis, this is a crime committed by one person or a group of people.
Then the suspect must be a young and strong male, and it cannot be ruled out that he has a means of transportation, maybe even a car!"
Tang Wen punched his fist hard and his voice became a little excited:
"That's right! Du Chu, I am now more inclined to your hypothesis. It was basically done by one person or a group of people with the help of transportation. Otherwise, the momentum of this group of people would be too scary!"
Du Weiguo turned his attention to the map on the wall again, carefully observing the route marked by Tang Wen with a red pencil, and at the same time comparing it with the distance parameters marked on the side.
Soon, Du Weiguo became extremely quiet and motionless. It was obvious that he had entered a state of deep thinking.
Similar to the legendary epiphany!
Tang Wen was a sensible person, so he naturally would not disturb Du Weiguo's contemplation. After a while, Du Weiguo gently tapped the map with his finger and said in a deep voice:
"Director Tang, I now fully suspect that the murderer used a large vehicle such as a truck as a tool to commit the crime!"
Tang Wen raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashed, and he asked eagerly: "Oh? Du Chu, what do you say?"
Du Weiguo pointed to the map on the wall and said in a deep voice:
"Tang Chu, you see, although I am not familiar with the streets and alleys of our Jinmen City, I can still get some clues from the map.
Not far from all the crime scenes, there are extremely wide roads. This is a common point, which makes it easier for large vehicles to travel, and only large vehicles can accommodate 7 corpses at the same time!"
Speaking of this, Du Weiguo's eyes became extremely sharp, revealing endless chill:
"Director Tang, have you obtained the detailed autopsy report? I now fully suspect that these women were all killed at the same time and then dumped separately!"
As soon as Du Weiguo finished speaking, there was first silence in the conference room, and then there was a buzz, like a stone stirring up a thousand waves.
It had only been just over an hour since Du Weiguo arrived in Tianjin, and he had already put forward several very bold hypotheses. Together, these hypotheses formed an extremely clear direction of investigation.
Most of the people present were very experienced and knowledgeable people. An expert would know if something was right as soon as he stretched out his hand. Du Weiguo had initially won the recognition of these veteran criminal investigators.
He is no longer a single step Amon. In more than two years, he has gone through countless ups and downs.
Especially during the giant monster operation, Du Weiguo's reasoning skills have been upgraded to level 3 due to his exhaustive efforts.
It’s not too much to say that the last sentence is a detective!
hiss!
After Tang Wen heard Du Weiguo's inference, he couldn't help but take a breath of air and frowned. If he followed Du Weiguo's hypothesis, then this murderer would be too cruel!
Killing people is really like killing chickens! When did such a ruthless character like a devil come to Jinmen City?
"I'll hurry up and I should get it soon!"
After Tang Wen finished speaking, he walked out of the conference room with a heavy face and a frown. Zouping, who was not noticed by anyone, also quietly walked out of the conference room.
Tang Ahong came close to Du Weiguo at this time and asked in a low voice:
"Tell me, sir, what kind of person can do such a heartless thing? Why would he kill these innocent women? Does such a person still have humanity?"
Du Weiguo looked far away at the treetops outside the window. It was early spring in March, and things were freezing. The willows had begun to sprout, and there was a hint of pleasant green.
But at this moment, his heart felt cold. The longer he walked in the darkness and the more ugliness he experienced, the more he felt the greed and cruelty of human nature.
Du Weiguo lit a cigarette, took a long breath, snorted coldly, and said in a cold tone:
"Ha! Didn't Hanwen just say it? This is the work of an immortal! Immortals, of course, have no humanity!"
"Immortal?" Tang Ahong repeated this unfamiliar word in surprise.
Tang Ahong had just sent Kong Nan out to use the toilet, so she didn't hear Hanwen's inference and was naturally a little confused.
Lei Qianjun pulled her gently, and then explained in a low voice in her ear.
"Ah? What age is this? There are still people who believe in these mythical things?"
After Tang Ahong heard this, she was immediately stunned and had a look of disbelief on her face. Isn't this too stupid?
In fact, this is not the case. Immortality and immortality have always been the dreams of some human beings. From ancient times to the present, the more prominent people are, the more obsessed they are with it.
This is not ignorance, this is driven by huge desire and losing basic reason!
At this time, Director Tang walked in from outside, holding a stack of case files in his hand. He walked to Du Weiguo and reached out to hand the case files to him.
Tang Wen's face looked a little ugly at this time, and his eyes were somewhat evasive. He lowered his head and said in a deep voice:
"Du Chu, your guess is absolutely correct. Although the seven victims died in different ways, they were all killed at the same time."
Du Weiguo took the case file, flipped through it quickly, and then gently handed it to Lei Qianjun, with a subtle curl of the corner of his mouth.
The autopsy report pointed out that all the victims were killed between 11pm on the 20th and 1am on the 21st.
Interestingly, the time of this autopsy report is blank. It was obviously re-copied and should have been made this morning or even earlier.
However, I don’t know why Tang Wen didn’t take out such important information until now, and judging from his face, he had most likely been kept in the valley before.
After experiencing what happened in Spring City, Du Weiguo didn't want to delve into the specific intention. No matter why, he didn't care!
(I really can’t write down the reason, but everyone must understand it!)
Du Weiguo blew out the last puff of smoke and put out the cigarette butt with his finger:
"Director Tang, now we have more and more evidence for our hypothesis, and we can now determine it as an investigation direction.
Mr. Tang, you are a local. Please send someone to investigate and find out if there were any witnesses during the time of the crime.
If you see a large vehicle like a truck, this target is relatively large and should be easier to spot!"
Tang Wen had adjusted his mood at this time. He nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice:
"good!"
Du Weiguo continued: "Tang Chu, please also send me a comrade who is familiar with the local situation to take us to the site of the crime for an on-site visit."
"No problem!" Tang Wen agreed happily.
Ten minutes later, two jeeps with Sijiucheng license plates sped off and left the office building of the Tianjin Municipal Bureau.
At this time, Zouping was standing by the window of the office, looking at the car in the distance, and couldn't help but frown deeply.
He left the window and picked up the phone on the table:
"Hey, pick me up from the Municipal Materials Bureau~~"
In the jeep, Du Weiguo smiled and looked at Kong Nan sitting next to him with interest, with a bit of joking in his tone:
"Comrade Kong Nan, aren't you a comrade in the Logistics Support Section? What? You are actually familiar with criminal investigation work? You are an all-rounder!"
At this time, Kong Nan's expression was a little unnatural, and she seemed a little embarrassed. She said bravely:
"Director Du, you are a leader from Sijiu City. Don't I have to ensure your logistics services anytime and anywhere?"
Du Weiguo was amused by her reason. This reason was too far-fetched, right? But he didn't completely expose it.
After all, Kong Nan is just following orders, there is no need to be too embarrassed, just keep a line in your behavior so that we can meet each other easily in the future!
Moreover, Du Weiguo didn't care if there was such an eye following him, and he didn't waste anything.
And at least when he was in Jinmen, someone paid for his meals. Isn't this a good thing?
Hey!
30 minutes later, the car in front slowly stopped and arrived at the first crime scene!
Pangjia Village on the southern outskirts of Jinmen City is where the first female body in red was discovered.
It was already past 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was heading west, and the countryside was different from the city in that there was no cover everywhere.
The southeast wind blows unbridled across the wilderness, and the sound is like a ghost crying out for injustice.
Du Weiguo and his party were also stripped of their clothes and stood on a ditch. Below was a ditch that had not yet been diverted for irrigation. It was here that the first female corpse in red was discovered.
A deputy team leader surnamed Chen under Tang Wen was leading a team to carry out investigation work here. When he saw Du Weiguo and his party arriving unexpectedly, he quickly brought people over to welcome them.
Although he has never met Du Weiguo before, he is also an experienced criminal investigator with many years of experience, his eyes are very poisonous, his license plate is from Sijiucheng, and he has a modified jeep.
In addition, he knew Kong Nan who was accompanying him, and a comrade who was guiding the route in the front car, who was also Tang Wen's confidant.
Through various signs, it was not difficult to guess Du Weiguo's identity, so there was no pretense to slap someone in the face, and Team Leader Chen was very cooperative.
After introducing each other and exchanging simple greetings, Du Weiguo just asked him a few questions casually. When he was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and asked:
"Team Leader Chen, look, can I meet the person who reported the crime?"
"hiss!"
Team leader Chen was somewhat caught off guard and suddenly looked embarrassed, but he nodded in the end. Du Weiguo was the commander-in-chief, so he had no reason to refuse!
He whispered a few words to a comrade beside him, who nodded and trotted away.
Du Weiguo smiled but kept silent. He understood very well that in fact, these grassroots comrades did not have any bad intentions, they just had a bit of a winning mentality.
Totally understandable.
After a while, an old man was brought over. Team leader Chen introduced that this old man’s surname was Liang, and he was the team leader responsible for looking after the farmyard fertilizer in the commune.
This old man Liang had a strong sense of responsibility. Because spring plowing was about to begin, he went to the field early in the morning before daylight to check the specific conditions of retting and fertilizing.
In rural areas of this era, chemical fertilizers are still extremely rare, and farmyard manure is used in most areas.
The so-called farmyard manure is fermented soil fertilizer made from human, poultry and livestock manure, mixed with plant ash, river mud, etc.
It sounds ridiculous, and the smell cannot be wonderful, but this thing is the most valuable thing for farmers right now, and it is one of the few guarantees for a good harvest!
The old man surnamed Liang was the first person to discover the body. This dark, thin and simple rural man must have been frightened for the past two days. He had a look of panic on his face and was trembling even when he spoke.
Du Weiguo walked up to him, patted his shoulder in a friendly manner, and pulled him away from the ditch where the crime occurred, to a place that was relatively sheltered from the wind.
Du Weiguo pulled Old Man Liang to squat on the ground, lit a peony cigarette for the old man, and took one himself. Team Leader Chen originally wanted to follow him.
However, Lei Qianjun grabbed his shoulders and asked him some irrelevant questions.
Kong Nan also moved his steps, wanting to follow him, but after taking a look at the teasing expression on Tang Ahong's face in front of him, he slightly pursed his lips and gave up the plan.
At this moment, Old Man Liang's eyes were full of red bloodshot eyes, and his eye bags and dark circles were very thick. Du Weiguo spoke very gently:
"Uncle, I came from the capital. You must have been frightened these past two days. I'm afraid you haven't had any rest, right?"
Perhaps it was because he was squatting, or because Du Weiguo spoke in a gentle and polite manner without any arrogance, so he relaxed a little.
"Hey, I know you are a big leader from the capital. I haven't slept at all in the past two days! I dare not close my eyes. When I close my eyes, I see the woman in red.
Alas! She was killed like this at the age of a flower. What a crime! Leader, she died unjustly! You must catch the bastard who harmed others!"
Du Weiguo nodded gently. The old man's reaction was very real. This is probably the simplest value in the hearts of ordinary people.
Kind and full of justice!
He patted the old man's shoulder and comforted him in a warm voice:
"Yes! The guys who committed this are simply beasts. Don't worry, uncle, I will bring them all to justice! And then kill them directly!"
When Du Weiguo said this, he was actually a bit boastful. He didn't care about the sentencing! But the uncle was obviously very satisfied with Du Weiguo's answer:
"Yes! Leader, we cannot keep such harmful things!"
Du Weiguo blew out a puff of smoke and asked in a casual tone: "Uncle, when you found the murdered woman, did you see the big car in front and behind her?"
"cart?"
The old man repeated the word, then shook his head gently:
"Leader, I am old and my eyesight is not very good. It was not bright at that time. I only saw the murdered woman after I got closer."
The old man's tone and emotion were very calm when he spoke. He was not lying. Du Weiguo nodded:
"Uncle, you have been taking care of the fertilizer at this time every day lately. Are there any large vehicles passing by frequently during this time?"
This time the uncle answered almost without thinking. He pointed at the asphalt road not far away:
"Leader, this big road in front of our commune connects our Jinmen City and the port. There are big cars going back and forth every day! It's so lively!"
Of course Du Weiguo knew about this situation. He smiled and asked: "Uncle, I mean the same big car that I often see at 5 o'clock in the morning."
This time the old man surnamed Liang tilted his head and touched it carefully, and after a while he said:
"Leader, when you asked me this, I got a bit of an impression. There is a big black truck that comes into the city every now and then at dawn. I've seen it 2 or 3 times."
"Oh, uncle, can you tell me more specifically, what does this car look like? Is there any writing on the car?"
When Du Weiguo heard this, his eyes narrowed and he immediately became interested. There is a way!
"There are words on the car, but I, I don't know the words, but I remember that there are many big iron barrels in the back of this car!"
The old man said a little shyly, in fact, it is normal to be illiterate. The literacy rate in this era is very low. In rural areas, it is extremely rare for a college student to go to middle school!
But Du Weiguo didn't care about this. He had already obtained the most important clue, the big iron bucket! You know, in this era, big iron buckets are not a common material.
This thing is extremely rare, and it often travels between the city and the port. It is most likely a gasoline barrel.
Du Weiguo put out the cigarette butt with his hand, found a branch at random, and drew the shape of a gasoline barrel on the ground:
"Uncle, is this a big iron bucket you see?"
The uncle glanced at the graphics on the ground and nodded excitedly: "Yes, that's it. Leader, what you drew really looks like it!"
Du Weiguo erased the pattern with his foot and asked with a smile: "Uncle, please don't flatter me. This is a serious matter. Are you sure you didn't misunderstand me?"
Upon hearing this, the old man's dark and thin face turned red, and he said excitedly: "Leader, I know the importance, so I won't make random decisions!"
Du Weiguo nodded, stood up gently, and patted the uncle on the shoulder with a smile:
"Uncle Liang, you have been a great help. Would you like to go back to the city with me for two days?"
"Ah?" When the old man surnamed Liang heard this, he was immediately stunned!
Du Weiguo shouted at this time: "Chen Jiansheng!"
"arrive!"
After Gou Shengzi responded loudly, he immediately ran over and arrived in front of Du Weiguo.
He also gave a standard salute and shouted: "Report!" This guy knew that he said the wrong thing today, so he was very eager to show off now.
Du Weiguo glanced at him angrily, then glanced at Team Leader Chen, who was frowning not far away, and said in a calm tone:
"Chen Jiansheng, take Uncle Liang into the car and return to Jinmen City with us. He is now our important witness. Come on, let's go to the next crime scene!"
Old Man Liang was so shocked by this formation that he didn't dare to ask questions at all, and just followed him into the car in a daze. As for Team Leader Chen, he had no reason to stop him!
Next, Du Weiguo went to several locations where the crime occurred, all of which were short-term stops, just like a quick tour.
Du Weiguo asked some random questions with the comrades responsible for the investigation. He also met with the reporter and asked several questions more or less alone.
When the sky turned completely dark, Du Weiguo and his party also arrived at the last stop of the day, the hospital.
In this era, there is no professional forensic examination department, and designated hospitals are responsible for the corresponding work.
In the morgue at night, there were seven female corpses who died unjustly. Thinking about it makes me shudder. Anyway, Kong Nan's legs were already shaking, and Tang Ahong's face was also a little pale.
There is no shame in being afraid!
When Du Weiguo saw the robbers killed for the first time and saw the brains, he vomited, but for Du Weiguo now, these are already child's play.
When he was handling the corpse now, his face was as usual and his expression was focused. Unknowingly, Du Weiguo had grown into a qualified criminal investigation worker.
Du Weiguo examined the bodies and clothing of the victims very carefully. He even put on gloves and used a strong flashlight to look through the minute parts.
More or less like a pervert!
After that, Du Weiguo went to the doctor in charge of the forensic examination and asked some questions in great detail before leading the team out of the hospital.
After all this hard work, it was already 8:30 pm.
Everyone was very hungry at this time, but Detective Du had no intention of stopping to rest and eat.
After he came out of the hospital, he returned to the city bureau without stopping, and immediately went to find Tang Wen.
