After returning to the police station, the Internet police quickly opened the deceased's computer, but unfortunately they found nothing.
"There is no way. Times have changed now. It is basically impossible to find clues from the computer."
“Can’t you restore WeChat?”
The internet policeman shook his head and said helplessly.
"No, if you want to log in to WeChat, you must at least have a phone number to receive the verification code!"
Chen Bai shook his head, it seemed that this clue was broken.
"Okay, but I still trouble you to see if you can find any clues. We are also working hard here."
"Okay, then I'll take a look again!"
The office of the Criminal Investigation Detachment is always brightly lit at night. Although the identity of the deceased has been confirmed, there is still not enough evidence pointing to the murderer. But one thing is certain now, that is, according to the surveillance at the entrance of the jewelry store, Shen Mei left the jewelry store. After coming out, I got into a black Toyota Corolla.
"Found it, the owner of this car is named Chen Feng, and he is a part-time online ride-hailing driver."
"Find him. He may very well be the last person to see the deceased."
The police acted quickly, and it took less than two hours to find Chen Feng.
"Police officers, what do you want from me?"
Chen Feng is a middle-aged man in his forties. He wears shorts and a shirt and looks very nervous with glasses.
"Don't be nervous. I have no other intention of calling you here. I just want to ask you if you have any impression of this girl?"
Chen Bai said and handed over Shen Mei's photo. The man looked at the photo Chen Bai handed over, thought about it and said.
"Of course I remember this girl. I just finished sending someone off that day, and then I received an order from a jewelry store. It was this girl. I still clearly remember that the girl not only said thank you to me when she got out of the car, but also gave me I sent a bag of biscuits and a bottle of water."
"Then do you remember where this girl got off the bus?"
Chen Feng thought for a while, took out his mobile phone and started to inquire.
"At 5:30 that night, the girl got into my car, and at 6 o'clock, I sent the girl to the Jasmine Hotel, and then I left."
"Jasmine Hotel? Okay, I understand."
Next, Chen Bai asked the man a few more questions, but the man answered them all.
"Okay, I'm really sorry to trouble you. If there are any questions later, I may bother you again."
"It's okay, cooperating with the police is what we should do."
After Chen Feng left, Bai Hongwei directly pulled Chen Bai up from his seat.
"What?"
"Let's go to Jasmine Hotel and have a look. Maybe we can find some clues."
Without waiting for Chen Bai to answer, Bai Hongwei directly pulled up the sitting Chen Bai.
"Okay, okay, I'll go with you, don't push me!"
The rain was heavy, but even with such heavy rain, the weather was still not cool.
"You said this is strange. You said it's raining so hard, why can't it get cooler?"
Chen Bai kept pressing the air conditioner in the car, and Bai Hongwei turned it off as soon as it was adjusted.
"What are you doing?"
"A calm mind naturally cools down! If your mind is not calm, there is no way to solve the case. I know you are anxious, but no matter how anxious we are, we must remain calm."
Chen Bai sighed and leaned helplessly on his chair.
"It's raining outside. You can't open the windows. It's so hot in the car. If you don't turn on the air conditioner, can we still get to the hotel alive?"
A man in rich clothes walked out of the box with his arms around a woman. The woman was obviously drunk, and most of her body weight was supported by the man. The man looked at the woman in his arms and smiled evilly.
When the girl woke up again, it was already three o'clock in the morning. She looked at the money beside her and smiled with satisfaction, took the money and left the hotel.
"Master, Huayun Road!"
"Sit down!"
Although Bai Hongwei and the two men, who had been busy all night, made no substantial progress, they at least pieced together the deceased's final route.
"After this girl left the hotel, she didn't know where she went. How should we check?"
Everyone was a little frustrated, but Chen Bai seemed to have discovered something.
"Tell me, what is it that makes a normally good girl give up her mother's birthday to meet this person?"
Chen Bai played with the lighter in his hand, while Bai Hongwei looked at the faces of the others and said with a smile.
"Okay, don't let them guess. We have found the person who met Shen Mei at the hotel. This person will be here soon."
An hour later, everyone finally saw a cool-looking young man in the interrogation room.
"Officer, I haven't committed any crime recently, why are you arresting me?"
"You haven't committed any crime recently? So it seems you have committed a crime before?"
Chen Bai keenly caught the loopholes in the man's language. The man didn't panic when he heard this, he just smiled and said.
"So what? I have completed my transformation, and now I am a law-abiding citizen."
The man was very arrogant, and when Da Binzi was about to get angry, Chen Bai held him down.
"That's right, so I came to see you today not because you committed a crime, but because I have something I want to talk to you about."
Chen Bai said and put Shen Mei's photo on the table.
"What's the relationship between this girl and you?"
The man glanced at it and said with disdain.
"It's just a verbose woman, what does it have to do with me? Officer, if you don't have evidence, you can't arrest people casually. I will cooperate with you for up to twelve hours."
"Yes, you are right!"
Chen Bai smiled. This person tried his best to pretend to be a seasoned person but in fact his psychological quality was not good at all. This also made Chen Bai certain that Shen Mei's death had nothing to do with this person. But this person's words were also important.
, after all, he was also the last person to see Shen Mei.
"You're right. We can only keep you for twelve hours at most without evidence, but why are you so nervous? I'm just asking you if you know this girl. Why are you reacting so hard?"
Chen Bai smiled and lit a cigarette. The look on the man's face changed when he heard Chen Bai's words, but he still managed to speak.
"Why am I nervous? I've never been nervous. I haven't done anything wrong. Why should I be nervous?"
The man clenched his hands into fists, sweat dripping from his face on the chair.
"Yes, you don't need to be nervous. Aren't you a law-abiding citizen now? Since you are a law-abiding citizen, there is no need to be nervous. When was the last time you saw this girl?"
The man thought for a moment, shook his head and said.
"That was a long time ago, about a month ago. She was actually my girlfriend and we had been dating for half a year. But just a month ago she told me out of nowhere that she wanted to break up with me. We had a big fight and we haven't seen each other since.
Already."
Chen Bai smiled, walked to the man and whispered in his ear.
"Really? But someone saw you entering the same hotel just three days ago and being in the same room for a long time. Then the girl died. I'm really surprised that you didn't know about this?"
As soon as Chen Bai finished speaking, the man quickly opened his mouth to explain.
"No, it's not me. She wouldn't let me touch her at all. Officer, I didn't kill anyone. I really didn't kill anyone."
The man was frightened. Chen Bai smiled and put a cigarette into the man's mouth.
"Of course I know you didn't kill anyone. The most you dared to do was commit petty theft. Wang Xu, tell us the truth now. All mistakes can be made up for. But if you don't tell the truth, what will happen to us? But I don’t know.”
Wang Xu's head was suddenly pushed back, and their eyes met. Wang Xu felt that the eyes of the man in front of him were as dark as water, as if the sea in the darkness was about to swallow him.
"I tell you, I tell you everything!"
"Snapped!"
Chen Bai's lighter made a crisp sound, and Wang Xu lit the cigarette with Chen Bai's hand.
"I did meet Shen Mei three days ago. I was detained for fifteen days for theft. In fact, I had a regular job before, but my boss deducted my salary. I stole the boss's money out of anger. As a result, my boss found out. After I came out, Shen Mei kept asking me to find a serious job, but I was lazy, so I just followed my buddies in the Internet cafe. It was Shen Mei who asked me to go to the hotel that day, and she said I found a job as a shopping guide in a jewelry store and asked me to wait for her in the hotel. When she comes back, we can spend our time together. But I waited for a long time and no one even answered the phone. I really I got tired of waiting, so I went out with a few friends to surf the Internet."
Chen Bai nodded, because the Internet police had already called out the surveillance of the Internet cafe they frequented, and Wang Xu played from nine o'clock in the evening until six o'clock the next morning.
"The clue is broken again, what should we do?"
Da Binzi was a little anxious, because there were now three deceased people, but only one of them had a clear identity, and the identities of the other two were still unknown.
"Don't worry, we need to calm down."
Chen Bai repeatedly looked at the surveillance camera at the hotel entrance. Shen Mei must have gone somewhere else after leaving the hotel. Where was that place and what did she go to do.
"Captain, there's a case."
What kind of crime scene gives forensic doctors a headache? There is probably nothing more uncomfortable than a crime scene after the rain. Song Anchun frowned as he looked at the huge cardboard box in the trash can. The case a few days ago was still... I don't have any clue, and now there's another case.
"How is this going?"
Song Anchun was already at the scene when Bai Hongwei arrived. She stood up expressionlessly, looked at Bai Hongwei and said.
"The time of death was approximately three o'clock in the morning last night. The cause of death was mechanical asphyxia. Blood stains were detected from the deceased's fingernails. It is not yet certain whether they were the deceased's own or the murderer's. In addition, the deceased had a strong smell of alcohol. , it is very likely that the deceased drank a lot of alcohol before his death. This is all I know for now, and I will tell you the rest when I get back."
Bai Hongwei nodded, but Chen Bai was staring at the place where the body was found in confusion.
"What's wrong? What did you see?"
"Perhaps we all thought about the wrong question before."
Chen Bai frowned and pointed to the place where the body was found with the umbrella in his hand.
"We may have ignored the cardboard box that the murderer used to dump the body. We always thought that it was just a cardboard box that the murderer found casually, but now it seems that may not be the case. You see, the cardboard box used twice is the same."
"fresh fruits?"
Bai Hongwei saw Chen Bai pointing at the words on the carton and didn't understand what was going on for a while, while Chen Bai was minding his own business.
"This kind of carton is usually used to package fruits. If the murderer chose to use such a carton, it must be because he can easily obtain it. Check what kind of markets or supermarkets use such cartons."
Bai Hongwei nodded, but at this moment a voice suddenly came from the distance.
“There’s something more to be discovered here!”
Everyone hurried over, and two young police officers found another cardboard box from the trash can in the distance.
"Don't move yet!"
Chen Bai saw that the two men were about to move the cardboard box out of the trash can, and quickly stopped him.
"What's wrong?"
Bai Hongwei was a little confused. Chen Bai slowly walked to the trash can and looked at it before saying.
"Get it out!"
After the box was moved out, everyone discovered that it was a box sealed with tape.
Opening the box, Chen Bai saw human heads and limbs scattered inside, as well as a pair of severed female genitals.
"vomit!"
Except for Bai Hongwei and Song Anchun, everyone couldn't bear it any longer and ran to the side and vomited.
"Get away from me, you're useless!"
Bai Hongwei was a little angry, and Chen Bai knelt down and looked at the body carefully.
"This was just killed. It may not have been more than three hours ago. This person's mentality has changed."
Bai Hongwei looked at Chen Bai. He sometimes couldn't understand what this expert said, but he still believed in Chen Bai's words.
"What's going on? Tell me in detail!"
Chen Bai looked at the body parts in the cardboard box and then looked around.
"The murderer killed the person and then dismembered the body and threw it away. In fact, there are many places in Binhai City where the body can be dumped. This person was so meticulous in killing people that he has not left any clues. But why is the body disposed of so casually? From the body
It can be seen from the incision that an electric saw was used. Judging from the degree of bleeding in this box, the murderer must have dismembered the body in the bathtub. Judging from the incision and cross section, the technique is improving."
"You mean, there are still people dying?"
Chen Bai nodded and said seriously.
"The box we found before contained a pair of hands and a head. Forensic Doctor Song said it was three people. We are not sure for the time being, but at least there are hands."
"That's four dead!"
Bai Hongwei frowned. If he added this person, he would be the fourth one. How many people did this person kill? Why was he so persistent in killing those girls?
"Go back first! This person must have killed more than just these few."
The police station has entered into an intense investigation again, but this matter has sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain, and it has become a hot topic on the Internet.
"What's going on? What's going on? Why can't you hide such a little thing?"
Bai Hongwei kicked the table next to him. Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent. Chen Bai played with his lighter and looked out the window.
"Captain, we..."
"Okay, okay, don't explain, just think about how to solve the case!"
Bai Hongwei was a little irritated. He had been scolded by the director earlier because of this.
"Three days!"
"What?"
Chen Bai turned around, looked at everyone and said.
"Three days, we must catch the murderer within three days, otherwise he will commit another crime. The reports of this case on the Internet are likely to stimulate the murderer and induce the murderer to commit another crime, so we must
The murderer will be caught within three days."
But despite saying that, there are no clues so far. Even Chen Bai can't find the basis for the murderer.
"Chen Bai, what was it that you didn't finish speaking at the scene before?"
Chen Bai pulled the whiteboard and pointed at the photo on it.
"We first analyze a question, that is, why did the murderer have such a meticulous plan to kill, but dump the body so casually? We have said before that the murderer used a box containing fruit to dump the body. The murderer will..."
Chen Bai was suddenly stunned when he said this. Although Bai Hongwei didn't know what was going on, he still didn't speak.
"I know, I know what the murderer is thinking."
Chen Bai stood up and looked at everyone excitedly and said.
"I have never figured out why the murderer was so persistent in wanting to kill these girls, but just now I figured it all out. Da Binzi, please briefly introduce the deceased this time."
Da Binzi nodded, then stood up and said.
"Zhao Wenwen, female, 30 years old, is a salesperson in Ye Qingcheng. We tracked that the last time she used her mobile phone was at three o'clock in the morning one day ago. She used a taxi app to call a car, but according to the records of the taxi app,
, Zhao Wenwen did not get on the bus. The car she ordered canceled the order after waiting for half an hour. After that, there was no news from Zhao Wenwen. In fact, from this we can see that Zhao Wenwen must have been waiting for the bus.
what's going on."
After Da Binzi finished speaking, Chen Bai nodded and continued.
"Yes, Da Binzi is right. Something must have happened to Zhao Wenwen while waiting for the bus, or he got on the wrong bus. Of course, I think the latter is more likely. After all, it is not so easy to take someone away in full view of the public.
Yes, but actually our focus is not here.”
As he spoke, Chen Bai circled the location where the body was found on the whiteboard.
"As I said just now, this is a very well-planned murderer. He thought of all the processes of committing the crime, and he did it in a flawless manner. But why is he so casual about dumping the body? And he deliberately placed the deceased in such a big place.
boxes before throwing them in the trash, as if expecting them to be found."
After Chen Bai finished speaking, Da Binzi suddenly stood up and said.
"I know. The murderer must have had emotional disputes with these women, and then killed them in a fit of rage."
"It's a good guess, but it's wrong."
After Chen Bai finished speaking, he suddenly looked at everyone with a serious expression.
"The reason why the murderer cut the corpses into pieces and put them in cardboard boxes and threw them into crystal buckets is entirely because the murderer thought these people were trash and trash should be placed in the trash can."
