Gu Chen and others were overjoyed when they saw that someone in the timber market knew the prodigal Zhang Dezhi.
So Lu Weiwei quickly asked: "Then let me ask you, has Zhang Dezhi rented any vehicles from you during the recent period?"
"Rent a car?" When the man heard Lu Weiwei's words, he held his chin and thought for a moment.
After a few seconds, he hesitated and said: "It seems so. I remember, a week ago, I saw this guy driving a small truck at night, and he was dragging a wood chipper behind him.
"
"Wood chipper?"
When they heard about this machine, everyone looked at each other instinctively, and everyone understood it tacitly.
Obviously, Zhang Dezhi's intention of renting the wood chipper was definitely not as simple as wood chipping.
Gu Chen quickly asked the man again: "Then do you know what that wood chipper looks like?"
"You know, there are mainly two types of wood chippers in our lumber market. One is the one with its own wheels, which is more convenient to tow."
"Usually it's just a small truck that can be towed."
"There is another type, which is a fixed type without wheels. It is usually transported to a fixed area by a crane and then operated in the fixed area."
"As for Zhang Dezhi, that night, I remember he was driving a small truck, dragging a wood chipper behind him."
"Then what is he going to do?" Yuan Shasha suddenly became interested after hearing this.
The man shook his head: "I don't know about that."
"Then how can you conclude that that person is Zhang Dezhi? After all, it is late at night. Are you sure you are not wrong?" Officer Wang asked.
"Harm! You can't be wrong." Seeing that Officer Wang didn't believe it, the man waved his hand and continued to explain:
"Because Zhang Dezhi, oh, we also call him Zhang Dezi, that guy is a prodigal son and is famous in this area."
"I don't usually work, but suddenly I appeared near the lumber market that night. I felt it was quite strange and I took a second look."
"In addition, in the lumber market at night, people are usually doing lifting and unloading operations, and no one will operate the wood chipper."
"So I feel that he should be dragging the wood chipper to certain places."
"Then where did you see him take the wood chipper?" Gu Chen heard this and quickly asked.
The man continued to think about it and then said: "It seems to be heading towards the reservoir, right?"
"Because I happened to come out of the toilet that night, and since my colleague was still inside, after I washed my hands, I sat on the broken wall at the other end of the toilet and smoked a cigarette."
"But I just happened to see Zhang Dezi driving and dragging a wood chipper, heading directly towards the reservoir."
"At that time, I was still wondering, if this guy is going to the reservoir, is there any wood on the other side?"
"After all, wood is usually not piled over there, and I don't know what to do with it?"
Listening to the man's story, Gu Chen remembered it in his mind and asked, "Then do you know who owns the small truck and wood chipper he rented that night?"
"It belongs to Mr. Hu, the crane boss." Afraid that Gu Chen wouldn't understand, the man quickly explained:
"Lao Hu, the crane owner, owns his classic car, but it is parked in a machinery rental stall for convenience."
"As for our end, there is a wood chipper, and it is a wood chipper with wheels. He is probably the only one who has it."
"So that's it?" After hearing what the man said, Gu Chen continued to ask for a general direction, then thanked him and quickly led everyone to continue the investigation.
It's still the machinery display area, but this time the stalls are on the other side.
It was still open for business in the evening, and a tall and thin man was sitting at his desk playing with his mobile phone.
Seeing Gu Chen and others walking in, the tall and thin man immediately stood up and asked curiously: "You..."
"We are from Furong Branch." Gu Chen showed his police card and then said, "I want to ask you something."
"Uh, you...you guys said." Seeing Gu Chen and others rushing over, the tall and thin man knew very well that he must have something important to discuss with him.
Gu Chen also got straight to the point and said straightforwardly: "Let me ask you, a week ago, did you rent a small truck and a wood chipper to Zhang Dezhi from a nearby village at night?"
"Zhang Dezhi? A week ago?" After thinking about it, the tall and thin man looked confused.
Then he shook his finger and continued: "I don't know about this. Maybe I wasn't on duty that night, but I can check it for you."
"Then it will be hard work." Lu Weiwei said.
"You're welcome." The man was also very kind. He immediately opened the desk drawer, took out a stack of account books, and opened the dates to check.
After a while, the man nodded and confirmed: "Yes, the time was a week ago, because it was rented around 10 o'clock in the evening. The renter...yes, it is Zhang Dezhi."
Seeing that it had been confirmed, Gu Chen also breathed a sigh of relief, which at least meant that Zhang Dezhi had the tools to destroy the body and eliminate traces.
And based on the man's explanation just now, Gu Chen also knew very well that Zhang Dezhi drove and dragged the wood chipper directly towards the reservoir.
Thinking about the tools Zhang Dezhi rented, Gu Chen could also guess that Zhang Dezhi was going to use a wood shredder to break his wife's body into several pieces and then throw it into the reservoir, hoping to remove the body without anyone noticing.
Clean it up.
Lu Weiwei on the side quickly asked: "Which wood chipper is it specifically?"
"Uh, let me take a look." Seeing Lu Weiwei's urgency, the tall and thin man continued to check the registration information and quickly replied:
"I know which one it is. I'll take you over to have a look."
After the words fell, the man put the form on the table, stood up and came to the door.
Afterwards, he took everyone to the machinery display area.
Not long after, everyone discovered that a wheeled wood chipper appeared in front of them.
It was a larger machine. Gu Chen and the others circled around the machine.
Officer Wang couldn't help but sigh: "This machine is big enough. Is it mainly just broken wood?"
"Does that need to be said?" Seeing that Officer Wang didn't understand machinery, the tall and thin man also took the initiative to explain:
"This wood chipper is very powerful. The wood goes in and the sawdust comes out."
"That is to say, whether it is wood or any other object, as long as it is thrown in, it will basically break into countless small pieces, right?" Yuan Shasha also asked curiously based on the actual situation.
The tall and thin man also smiled and said: "Comrade policewoman, you are right."
"That's the main function of a wood chipper. It's used to break wood."
"But you can think of it this way. An object as strong as wood can be broken into countless small pieces. If you throw other things into it, unless it is much stronger than wood, it can be broken into several small pieces."
"Then if a pig is thrown in, can it be broken into several small pieces?" Officer Wang also gave an example.
But this statement made the tall and thin man stunned for a moment.
He looked at Officer Wang with a strange look, and said inexplicably: "Comrade police, why do you have such a unique idea? Why do you want to crush a pig?"
"Oh, I'm just making an analogy, can you tell me if it's okay?" Officer Wang didn't want the man to ask too many questions, so he continued to respond perfunctorily.
The tall and thin man nodded silently: "Yes, pork is so soft. If you throw it in, it will break into many pieces of meat."
"Bones and everything else will be broken into pieces, and this kind of wood chipper is very powerful. If you throw it in, the pieces of meat will fly five or six meters away from the exit."
"So terrifying?" After hearing what the man said, Lu Weiwei was already thinking about the scene in her mind where Zhang Dezhi threw his wife into the wood crusher, and then she turned into countless pieces and flew out of the wood crusher.
Thinking of this, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but shudder.
Gu Chen also took a deep breath and continued to circle around the wood chipper, checking the main parts of the wood chipper.
Seeing that the various parts of the wood chipper were already covered with wood debris, Gu Chen asked curiously:
"By the way, when did Zhang Dezhi return the wood chipper?"
"Uh, early the next morning, right?" the man said, "The record says that the wood chipper and the pickup truck were returned early the next morning."
"Because our rentals here are timed. If you use them up early and return them early, you can save a lot of money."
"Then when you came back, did you notice that there would be something left on the wood chipper, such as... blood stains or something?"
In order to vividly describe the process of dismembering the corpse, Officer Wang deliberately gave crazy hints.
But the tall and thin man looked confused and asked weakly: "I would like to ask, why do you have such strange thoughts?"
"Uh... because Zhang Dezhi is very likely to rent your high-power wood chipper to crush some meat products." Yuan Shasha also gave the reason.
But when the man heard this explanation, he immediately laughed out loud and said: "Haha, comrade policewoman, stop teasing me, you piece of meat?"
"For minced meat, just use a household meat mincer. Ours is a high-power wood shredder for crushing wood."
"If Zhang Dezhi rented a large machine like ours just to shred meat, wouldn't he have suffered a big loss?"
"This is like...how to put it?" He also scratched his chin beard with his fingers. The tall and thin man also gave an example:
"It's like using a cannon to shoot sparrows. It's a waste of resources."
"Okay." It was also a tall and thin man who seemed to have no idea about everyone's understanding, so Yuan Shasha hurriedly said:
"Then you should tell me, when he returned the wood chipper that day, were there any obvious traces of blood?"
"Uh... let me think about it." It felt strange, but considering the rental time on the account book, the tall and thin man also recalled:
"I remember that that night, when we rented machines and vehicles, it was my colleague who handled the formalities."
"But my colleague works the night shift. During the day, that is, early in the morning, I came to take over the shift. I was not on site when the machine was received, but I arrived not long ago."
"As usual, when the machinery was sent back, I had to go over and check it out. What impressed me at the time was that this wood chipper seemed to have been cleaned."
"Cleaning?" Upon hearing this reply, Lu Weiwei's eyes suddenly lit up and she quickly asked:
"You mean, the wood chipper has been cleaned?"
"Well, that's right, because it looks pretty new," the tall and thin man said.
Gu Chen thought for a moment and then asked quickly: "The wood chipper has been cleaned, but what about the small truck? Has the small truck been cleaned?"
"Yes." The tall and thin man continued to nod and replied:
"When I received it, I was quite puzzled. I thought that Zhang Dezi was quite polite."
"After renting our machinery, he actually cleaned it before sending it back. It doesn't seem like he is the image of a prodigal son that people around him say."
"After all, you also know that among the machines we rent here, who has the time to clean them for you? Who doesn't just drag them back to you after using them?"
"Because we count time here. If you help us clean it yourself, it will definitely take a lot of time."
"For leasing owners, time is money. Everyone is trying to save costs, so no one will help us clean the machines."
"However, the wood chipper and the pickup truck were indeed cleaned that day. I'm sure of this."
"It is for this reason that I was quite impressed by that incident."
"Have you cleaned the machinery? Transported the wood chipper to the direction of the reservoir?" Based on what the tall and thin man said and the previous man, Gu Chen pieced together various clues.
Unexpectedly, I discovered that these circumstances can be pieced together into one goal, which is the direction of the reservoir.
Zhang Dezhi's cleaning machinery was rented at night. It is conceivable that after murdering his wife, Zhang Dezhi must have used the cover of night to rent the machinery and vehicles at the timber market.
Then, without anyone noticing, the body was transported to the direction of the reservoir, broken into small pieces, and discarded in the reservoir.
As a result, even if it were to find the body of Zhang Dezhi's wife, it would be extremely difficult.
The body was broken into pieces and scattered in the reservoir, where it was likely to be eaten by fish in the water.
As a result, the thread will be interrupted.
But Gu Chen also knew very well that as long as it was proved that some fragments of Zhang Dezhi's wife's body could be found in the reservoir, it would be able to prove the fact that Zhang Dezhi killed his wife and dismembered her body.
But Gu Chen also knew that it would be a huge challenge to retrieve body parts from such a large reservoir.
"Thank you for your cooperation." Gu Chen thanked him and immediately led everyone towards the toilet.
Seeing this, Lu Weiwei followed closely.
Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha also looked at each other, and then followed them, climbing over the damaged wall and arriving at the outside of the wall.
"Gu Chen, are you going to the reservoir?" Officer Wang asked.
Gu Chen nodded silently: "Didn't you listen to what those people said just now? Zhang Dezhi rented a wood chipper and went to the direction of the reservoir."
"I am sure that he must have gone to the direction of the reservoir to dismember the body and then throw the body parts into the reservoir."
"In this case, we can only go to the other side of the reservoir to look for clues."
"Damn it." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Yuan Shasha said in disbelief: "Zhang Dezhi must be crazy."
