With the experience of going up the mountain, when going down the mountain, Gu Chen drove a police car with the license plate number ending in AE86 and used the drainage ditch to negotiate the bend, and the speed down the mountain was much faster than expected.
Pass through Hehu Township and go straight to Sanxi Reservoir in Hejiang Town.
Gu Chen knew that going from Hehu Township to Hejiang Town might take a lot of time if he followed the same road he came from.
But a newly opened shortcut has greatly saved this time.
When we arrived at Hejiang Town, the time was exactly 9pm.
At this moment, Gu Chen parked his car in front of a supermarket, opened the map on his mobile phone, and found the location of Sanxi Reservoir.
"Sanxi Reservoir is not far to the right, no more than 500 meters away." After confirming the direction, Gu Chen directly pulled the handbrake and prepared to get out of the car.
When the supermarket owner saw the police coming in, he casually asked, "What do you want to order?"
"Boss, how many years has your supermarket been open?" Gu Chen asked curiously, looking at the old building.
The fat man smiled lightly and said, "It's been a long time. This supermarket was originally a small convenience store, and it has been open since my father's generation. If it were me now, it would have been more than 20 years ago."
"More than 20 years?" Looking the supermarket owner up and down, Officer Wang asked, "Then you must be over 40, right?"
"How much is 40? I'm over 50." Seeing Officer Wang's sweet words, the fat man smiled from ear to ear.
Officer Wang flattered him and said, "You really can't tell. You look like you are in your early 40s."
"Haha, look what you said, you guys coming here today must be doing more than just buying things, right?"
The supermarket owner saw countless people, and he could tell from the state of the people when they walked into the supermarket that these police officers must be here to inquire about information.
Gu Chen did not beat around the bush and asked directly: "Since your supermarket has been open for more than 20 years, you should also know that a floating corpse appeared in the Sanxi Reservoir in Hejiang Town 20 years ago."
"Well……"
Seeing that Gu Chen asked about this topic as soon as he arrived, the fat boss was suddenly startled and said weakly: "You...why did you suddenly ask this question?"
"Because we are here to investigate the case back then." Lu Weiwei also told the truth.
This shocked the supermarket owner, who was also very curious and asked: "This...it has been 20 years, and you are still investigating? Is it too late?"
"It's not too late." Gu Chen smiled lightly and shook his head.
The fat boss couldn't understand, so he asked again: "But...after all, 20 years have passed, and many clues have been changed. If you could find the murderer back then, you wouldn't have to go through so much trouble."
"But you couldn't find the murderer back then, and it's even less possible now."
The fat boss's words were a bit harsh. Of course, this also reflected the opinions of the majority of the people.
After all, this unsolved case has been a hot topic in Hejiang Town for a long time.
Gu Chen asked: "Were you in Hejiang Town when the body was found in the reservoir?"
"Yes, of course, I was in a small store at the time. My home didn't have such a big supermarket at that time, it was just a convenience store."
Gu Chen received a reply, then turned on the law enforcement recorder, took out the transcript and asked him: "What was the situation at the scene? Can you tell me more?"
"Uh...it's been so many years."
"It doesn't matter. Remember what to say and what to say. I need to restore the original situation. The more specific the better." Gu Chen said.
Seeing Gu Chen's persistence, the fat boss hesitated again and again, but nodded in agreement: "Okay, if you ask, I will tell you everything I know."
"What was the situation like when the body was found?" Gu Chen asked.
The fat boss scratched his cheek and began to try to remember.
"I remember that after the body was found in the reservoir, many people came to watch the excitement. I handed the shop to my dad and ran over to see what was going on."
After thinking for a while, the fat boss added: "It was quite scary at the time. A corpse was just floating in the water."
"Originally, it was unlikely that the body would have floated on the water, because the body was tied with a sack and there were stones in the sack."
"But it may be that the binding rope was not strong enough and was bitten by the fish in the reservoir, so the body could float on the water."
"Did the sack with the body tied up in it be fished out in the end?" Gu Chen asked.
"Yes." The fat boss nodded silently and added, "I remember that the body was floating on the water, but it was still hung by the rope."
"Later, many people came to the reservoir. Some called the police, and some were preparing to find a boat to bring the body up."
"Later, the police also came. They fished the body ashore and then conducted tests on the scene."
"Was the body tied with tape?" Gu Chen remembered that it was recorded in Liu's forensic report.
These gangsters used up a bundle of tape and left the tape ends on it.
The fat boss was reminded and immediately said: "Don't tell me, I almost forgot. Yes, the body was tied with tape at that time. It felt quite miserable."
"Later, the identity of the police was confirmed and they said that the deceased was a black car driver from Hehu Township. So during that time, the black car drivers who were driving were extremely nervous and were on tenterhooks every day."
Gu Chen glanced at the direction of Sanxi Reservoir not far away and asked: "Now do you remember where the body is floating in the reservoir?"
"Uh... now?" the fat boss asked.
Lu Weiwei nodded silently: "If possible, can you take us there now to have a look?"
"Ah?" The boss was stunned.
I thought to myself, you policemen are really capable of this, and you don’t even look at what time it is? Are you still going to the reservoir?
The fat boss suddenly wanted to quit.
But unable to bear the repeated requests of several people, the fat boss finally compromised and said: "Okay, let's count it as cooperation between the police and the people. If the murderer is really caught, I will be credited."
"Haha, of course, let's go." Seeing the boss's agreement, Lu Weiwei responded readily.
Afterwards, the fat boss handed over the business of the store to his family, and he followed a few people into a police car and drove all the way to Sanxi Reservoir.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It should be said that Sanxi Reservoir is not far from the central area of Hejiang Town, but it took a lot of time to get to the site of the incident and drive along the edge of the reservoir.
.
"Drive a little further and see the steps in front of you? That's where the body was found."
"So it's here?" Lu Weiwei was also curious, looking straight at the steps.
The fat boss said: "It wasn't like this structure back then. It was all old steps and there were earthen dams around the reservoir."
"The embankment broke down a few years later, so it was repaired several times to make the old steps look brand new."
While they were talking, the vehicle had already arrived at the reservoir.
As the temperature drops sharply at night, the wind is also increasing.
Standing by the reservoir, everyone was shivering from the howling cold wind.
Officer Wang couldn't help but complain: "It seems that there are enough northwest wind pipes tonight, so it's not the right time to come."
"That's right." The fat boss who was also called over also complained: "What can you find out at night? It's the same during the day."
Gu Chen smiled faintly and said, "Since 20 years have passed, is there any difference between coming here during the day and coming here at night? I just want to see what was going on here at that time."
"Then what do you see?" the fat boss asked.
Gu Chen did not answer in a hurry, but asked the fat boss: "Has the position of the dam next to here changed?"
"The location of the embankment has not changed, it has just been repaired."
"What about the roads around here?" Gu Chen asked again.
The fat boss looked around and said, "It hasn't changed either."
"Going from Hejiang Town to Sanxi Reservoir and arriving at this location, did you come from where we were just now?" Gu Chen said.
The fat boss said humbly: "Yes, because the only way to get here from Hejiang Town is this way, or you have to make a big detour and come from the other side, but it is unlikely because it is too far."
Looking back at the direction he came from, the fat boss added: "I estimate that the deceased must have been kidnapped here, and then directly tied to a stone and sunk to the bottom of the water."
Gu Chen nodded silently and continued: "The road I saw when I came here passed between two houses, so I didn't know if there was any surveillance on this road?"
"Haha." The fat boss laughed dryly, and then said with a faint smile: "Comrade police, in those days, we didn't install surveillance cameras very much. Not to mention none on this road, there weren't many surveillance cameras in the whole town."
"Understood." Gu Chen knew it would be like this, but after asking some questions, he was sure.
Later, at the Sanxi Reservoir, Gu Chen listened to the fat boss's account of the corpse removal and examination.
It is roughly the same situation as what Forensic Doctor Liu recorded in his report, and there is not much difference.
But Gu Chen still learned some clues before the police arrived.
For example, the bodies were found by two children.
But these have little to do with the case.
Then everyone returned to the supermarket, and based on the fat boss's introduction, they found several other witnesses to the incident that year.
Listening to the accounts of these witnesses, Gu Chen probably knew that there were indeed vehicles driving on this road a few days before the incident, that is, the night Lu Jun disappeared.
An eyewitness lived in a building heading to Sanxi Reservoir at the time.
According to eyewitnesses, there seemed to be several people sitting in the car at the time, and there were conversations.
But when the car drove towards the Sanxi Reservoir, it still caught the eyewitness's attention.
After all, Hejiang Town was not prosperous at that time and there were not many buildings.
The direction of Sanxi Reservoir is even more desolate, with no villages and weeds growing everywhere.
But in this case, a vehicle drove in, which aroused the suspicion of the witnesses.
But at the time I thought, maybe I just went fishing in the reservoir, but the weather was terrible.
The tall and thin witness man said: "When I found the suspicious vehicle, the weather was the same as today, with strong winds."
"So, I don't believe it when you go fishing in this kind of weather."
"That might be the murderer, and there's more than one." Gu Chen said.
The tall and thin man nodded silently: "Maybe you are right."
"But..." Gu Chen hesitated for a few seconds, then raised his head, stared at the tall and thin man, and asked, "But there's something I don't understand."
"You...you said." The tall and thin man expressed confusion.
Gu Chen added: "According to the investigation report of that year, it did not indicate how many murderers there were, and according to the police's oral description of the local people's investigation, there is no relevant record, but you can know so clearly, what is going on
?”
"Ah?" When asked by Gu Chen, the tall and thin man felt a little embarrassed.
Gu Chen continued to ask: "Do you mean that you did not disclose this information to the police? Nor did you let anyone else know?"
"Well……"
Hearing Gu Chen's words, the tall and thin man's heart skipped a beat, and he said slightly nervously: "This...it's been 20 years, and I can't even remember it."
When the fat boss heard this, he also looked puzzled: "Speaking of Ali, I seem to remember the police asking you, because your family lives on the only road leading to Sanxi Reservoir. Could it be that the police did not keep complete records?"
"No." Officer Wang shook his head and said, "This is a key clue. No matter how negligent our police force is, the oral report will usually be recorded completely, and there will be no omissions."
After thinking for a while, Officer Wang said again: "Unless..."
"Unless you didn't tell the police about this clue back then." Gu Chen answered directly.
This statement shocked the tall and thin man.
When he saw everyone staring at him with strange eyes, the tall and thin man shivered and didn't know what to say.
"What happened? Why didn't you tell me back then?" Gu Chen asked.
Seeing that he had let slip, the tall and thin man also patted his mouth lightly: "Why do you say I'm a bitch?"
"That's right, when the police asked me, I didn't say this. If you don't ask today, maybe I don't remember whether I said it at the time. But you, a little policeman, look like you are only in your 20s. How do you think about what happened back then?
So you understand?”
"What little policeman? This is the captain of the criminal investigation team of our Furong branch. He can know the file records at a glance, and the contents you mentioned are not in the records at all."
Yuan Shasha also had something to say and quickly corrected her.
When he heard that Gu Chen was already the captain of the criminal investigation team at a young age, the tall and thin man immediately felt that Gu Chen had a good background, and he did not dare to be careless. He apologized directly and said:
"I'm sorry, comrade police, I may not have told the police about this back then."
"Why are you doing this?" Gu Chen asked him.
The tall and thin man's face froze, and he said in embarrassment: "This... you also know how miserable this corpse died back then. The whole body was tied up with tape and wrapped into a rice dumpling."
"Not only that, but his body was also tied with a sack filled with stones."
"Just by looking at this posture, I know that the murderer must be a ruthless character. If I tell the police the details of the murderer, what if the murderer seeks revenge on me?"
"So you didn't say anything?" Lu Weiwei asked.
The tall and thin man looked ashamed: "I...I wanted to say it, but my family didn't agree. My wife would kill me to stop me from saying it, for fear of getting into trouble."
"You also know that since these murderers can do such cruel things, it is normal to take revenge on someone, right?"
"Haha." Hearing what the tall and thin man said, Officer Wang couldn't help but shook his head: "You, you, really think about yourself."
"But have you ever thought that if you don't report the murderer, the murderer can get away with it for 20 years. In these 20 years, they may continue to commit crimes and let such a dangerous person roam the society. Do you know how dangerous that is?
?”
"I...I know." The tall and thin man could not raise his head, so he could only lower his head and hum.
Lu Weiwei said earnestly: "Actually, if you report this clue, you don't need to reveal your identity. Our police can provide you with anonymous protection."
"I know, I know everything, but..." The tall and thin man hesitated for a few seconds and said angrily: "But I was really frightened by this group of gangsters at the time, and when I told my wife, she was a hundred different people.
willing."
"She also said that if I reported this news, she would divorce me. But after all, she was afraid of getting angry, so I struggled for a long time and finally chose not to say anything."
After a pause, the tall and thin man continued: "The police found me later. Because of the geographical location of my home, I remember that several police officers came to my home to take statements, so I only told about the discovery of the body, and the other murderers
I didn’t mention anything about it.”
Hearing this, the fat boss also took a breath of cold air, pointed at the tall and thin man and said: "You, you, you really don't understand the situation, you are as timid as a mouse."
"I am timid. I have been timid since I was a child. You don't know this?"
"But you shouldn't have hidden it for so long? Then you should also think about the family of the deceased. My son has been dead for 20 years, but the murderer can't be found. What you said you did is still a human matter?"
"That's right, I think you are a coward."
"Spineless."
…
After the tall and thin man confessed, several other eyewitnesses of the corpse also criticized him verbally and writtenly.
"Please be quiet." Gu Chen suddenly interrupted everyone.
So everyone looked at Gu Chen.
The fat boss said: "Comrade police, there is a witness now. If you ask him, he will definitely know."
"Yeah, this guy is really a coward."
Seeing that another witness was making trouble again, Gu Chen also explained: "I can understand that this gentleman is concerned about the safety of his family, but it is really not good to do this."
"But now you still have a chance, that is to tell me the specific appearance of those people back then. The more detailed the better."
"Ah?" Hearing Gu Chen's words, the tall and thin man couldn't help but be stunned, and said weakly: "Police... Comrade police, this... this has been 20 years, I... I have no memory of it.
."
"Harmful!"
When everyone heard this, they all sneered.
"You tell me, what else can you do? If you had made it clear back then, it would have been fine. But if you can still remember it now, then you will be damned."
The fat supermarket owner didn't expect that there were such cowards in the town.
It would be a lie to say that I am not angry.
But after all, this case also caused a sensation.
Attention is extremely high.
It was understandable that the tall, thin man was scared at the time.
But now there is another problem, that is, as 20 years have passed, the current witnesses cannot remember the appearance of the murderers.
This is absolutely fatal to Gu Chen.
