At this time, a staff member on the other side not far away suddenly said: "I found where this van is!"
After Song Yi, Qin Nan and others heard this, they looked towards the staff over there. When Qin Nan saw it, he always felt that the car was a bit strange. It didn't look like the car he saw last night.
He couldn't tell what was wrong. There was still a "Paradise of Dreams" sign above the van, but the front windshield of the van was blocked by a piece of cloth, making it difficult to see what was inside.
"Where is this!" Song Yi asked, pointing to the surveillance screen.
"It's in an open space two blocks ahead," the staff member said.
Immediately, Qin Nan, Song Yi, Ma Xiaotao, and Wu Haotian came to the open space. At this time, there were many children playing in the open space and having a great time.
They parked the police car on the side of the road and slowly walked towards the van over there. The curtains on the van were blocked by something.
Song Yi and Ma Xiaotao looked at each other and nodded. Ma Xiaotao frowned, took out his gun from his waist, and then slowly approached the door of the van.
She squatted down and listened to the movement inside the van. At this time, the sound of a music box came from inside the van. Ma Xiaotao's brows furrowed even more tightly. He made a gesture to Song Yi,
Then Song Yi also took out the gun from his waist, and the children around him also moved towards this direction with some curiosity. After Qin Nan saw this, he and Wu Haotian directed the evacuation of the group of children.
Seeing that there was a situation here, those parents took their children and left the open space. Those parents who overreacted saw the police pulling out their guns, picked up their children, and ran home.
The children who came out to play on their own fled one after another when they saw their parents leaving. After a while, there was only one cleaner left in the open space.
Ma Xiaotao opened the door of the van, pointed a gun inside and shouted: "Don't move!"
At this time, a man wearing clown makeup was lying in the van. The man seemed motionless. The moment Ma Xiaotao opened the door, he smelled an indescribable smell.
Seeing that the clown didn't respond, Ma Xiaotao looked around and found that there were two people sitting in the driver's seat and one person in the passenger seat.
Ma Xiaotao exclaimed, and then pointed her gun at the co-pilot and the person on the main driver. She couldn't help but feel a little strange when she saw those two people.
Song Yi hurriedly stepped forward with his gun in hand and took off the cardboard from the front windshield. Song Yi took off the cardboard and saw the two people sitting in front of him. He couldn't help but take two steps back slightly.
When he saw the two people clearly, Song Yi slowly put down his gun and couldn't help but frown.
Upon seeing this, Qin Nan and Wu Haotian hurriedly came to Song Yi's side. When they saw the two people in the driver's and passenger's seats, their eyes widened slightly.
Because the two people sitting in front are not people, but two paper figures with very exaggerated faces. Those bodies are all made of paper, and the two terrifying faces are made up of clowns.
She grinned to the back of her ears and was smiling at them. At this time, Ma Xiaotao, who was beside the van, also put down her gun. She frowned. The person in front of her seemed to be dead.
She stepped onto the van, and just when she was about to sniff out the clown's breath, a human face suddenly popped out from the back of the van. Ma Xiaotao screamed in fright,
After Song Yi noticed the situation on Ma Xiaotao's side, he also ran over. At this time, Ma Xiaotao was so frightened that he was sitting on the snow next to the van. Song Yi also reacted quickly and pointed his gun at the van.
inside.
"What's wrong?" Qin Nan asked as he helped Ma Xiaotao up.
"Yes, there is a person behind the van!" Ma Xiaotao covered her chest, seemingly frightened.
Song Yi concentrated his attention, walked slowly towards the side of the passenger seat, and pointed his gun at the inside of the van.
At this time, Song Yi saw the head in the back of the van. He narrowed his eyes slightly, then put down his gun and let out a long sigh of relief.
Ma Xiaotao also felt a little strange after seeing this. At this time, Song Yi said:
"Xiao Tao, take a look for yourself and see what that one in the back row is."
Ma Xiaotao looked at Song Yi, and then cautiously looked inside the van. When she saw the thing in the back row clearly, she frowned slightly.
I saw a spring bouncing under the clown's head, causing the head to swing from side to side.
At this time, Ma Xiaotao breathed a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help but sneer.
She stepped into the van again and sniffed the clown lying on the seat, then touched his neck, then turned around and shook her head at Song Yi.
Song Yi made a phone call, and not long after, two police cars surrounded him. Li Bing also got out of one of the police cars. Without destroying the body, everyone
They worked together to lift the clown lying in the van.
Li Bing opened the tool box and inspected the clown. The police from the Trace Inspection Section also began to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the van.
Qin Nan also put on gloves and foot gloves, and used a trace inspection light to inspect the traces left on the van.
He just turned on the trace inspection light and found that there were many fingerprints here, but no trace of blood was found. And from the current point of view, those fingerprints seemed to be from the same person.
Qin Nan also discovered that there were a large number of rag dolls on the van, but these rag dolls seemed a little dirty, and some even had a little blood on them, which looked a little leaky.
At this time, Qin Nan found the tires buried in the snow. It seemed that there had been light snow in the past two or three days. Judging from the snow, this car must not have been parked in the past two days, and the four tires of the van
,
They all collapsed together, and it felt like they had been stopped for a long time. The piece of cardboard placed on the front windshield was also a bit special. It didn't seem to be found randomly. There was also a clown pattern on it.
It seems to be drawn.
About twenty minutes later, Li Bing also came out with a rough autopsy result.
Li Bing stood up and said to Song Yi: "Captain Song, the male victim, judging from the body spots, has been dead for about sixty hours. In the mouth of the deceased, I found residues of glucose.
The deceased should have eaten some candies before his death. Further testing of these candies is required to determine whether the glucose is toxic.
We found obvious strangulation marks on the victim's arms, crotch, and chest. The victim seemed to have been tied up for a long time, but... I think the victim should have been dropped in mid-air.
To form such strangulation marks, we also found obvious whip marks on the back of the deceased. I suspect...in short, we need to take the body back to the police station for further examination," Li Bing said.
Song Yi nodded thoughtfully, and then asked Li Bing and several police officers to take the body back to the police station, where they set up a tent and set up a cordon.
Then several people came to the monitoring room of the neighborhood committee again, calculated the monitoring time based on the victim's death time, and adjusted the monitoring to three days ago.
Song Yi and the others watched for a long time, and then they discovered that in the middle of the night, several people holding big black umbrellas slowly came to the open space here.
However, through the surveillance, we could not see their facial features at all. We could only see a few black umbrellas walking around in the open space, which looked very irregular. Finally,
They walked towards a van, which seemed to have been parked there for a long time, according to the staff's description.
Afterwards, several people came to the van, opened the door, and put a plaque with "The Paradise of Dreams" on the van.
Several people blocked the direction of the camera with umbrellas and seemed to be stuffing something into the van for about ten minutes. Before leaving, they took out a piece of cardboard from somewhere.
He put the cardboard on the front windshield and then left the scene unsteadily, as if he had been drunk. Then the black umbrellas disappeared from the surveillance field of view...
