In the northern part of the mountain forest, at the mountain col.
Several police cars passed through a dense forest, and the original asphalt road gradually turned into a gravel and dirt road. The further in, the road became narrower, and even after a long bumpy journey, they finally stopped at a
There is almost no end of the road.
Sitting in the co-pilot and leading the way was a police officer from the forest police station. He turned around and said, "Team Wen, Team Meng! This is the northern area shown on the map. To be honest, there are no people living around this area at all, so we usually
Most people don’t come here, so if you want to go in, you have to walk.”
"It's okay, then park the car here and we can lead the team in by ourselves."
Wen Sibao led everyone out of the car and found that the surrounding area was indeed full of cypress trees. He picked a cypress leaf from a branch and cut it open. He found that it was almost the same as what Meng Qinghan had found in Zhang Gou Si's car.
They are all consistent. They all contain a small amount of water inside the branches and leaves, but they look a little wilted and yellow on the outside.
"You can't be wrong, it must be here!"
Wen Sibao then led a group of police officers, picked up the shovel sent by his brother's unit and walked into the forest.
This is a deep forest area that does not see sunlight all year round. The tall and dense cypress trees block this mountain col completely from the wind. When everyone walks in this dark forest, they can obviously feel the cold air coming from around them. If it weren't for
Because there were occasionally a few beams of light shining through the gaps in the branches and leaves overhead, it was difficult for the police officers walking in the forest to find the correct direction even here. It was only then that everyone truly realized that this mountain forest was deep.
The place was as dark and cold as a frightening black.
In the depths of this undeveloped dense forest, fallen leaves and dead branches are falling at any time, thus covering all traces of human touch around them. After a short discussion, the police also decided to take the clumsiest method.
That is to divide the existing personnel into several teams, and conduct reconnaissance and excavation in the areas they are responsible for, looking for any clues that the suspect may have left.
Until evening, this small mountain col was also covered with countless lighting lights. The police officers finally discovered the clues while enduring mosquito bites.
Just listen to a police officer shouting: "This! There is something abnormal here!"
Hearing the shout, everyone rushed over immediately, and sure enough, they found a dusty hand exposed in a dug pit.
Soon, everyone dug up the pit and found a male body inside. After comparing the face and fingerprints, it was quickly determined that this person was Zhang Gou Si, the driver of the car.
What he was worried about finally happened. Wen Sibao looked solemn and said: "Why on earth did Zhang Gousi come to this place? Did he really start running away in advance after learning that our police were looking for him?"
"
Meng Qinghan put on his gloves, then took out a brush and carefully cleaned the head and hands of the deceased. After careful inspection with a flashlight, he explained.
——"The clothes on the deceased were intact, the fist bones of both hands and the skin on the palms were not damaged, and there was no resistance injury anywhere on the body."
——"So it can be seen that Zhang Goushi did not experience any resistance or fighting before his death."
Later, Meng Qinghan used the flashlight beam to shine on the back of the deceased's head. Everyone could see an obvious swelling mark on the skull here. She explained: "After the human body dies, the blood stops flowing, the cells become necrotic, and the body
It is impossible to reduce swelling and heal on its own. So we can see that this person was unprepared and was hit on the back of the head with a blunt object. He fainted and was buried in a pit."
Wen Sibao asked again: "Do you think the murderer will be someone from Shanshuihe Company?"
Meng Qinghan: "This possibility is very high. After Shuihe Company did the Huabaifo, it might have started to clean up the people related to this case one by one. This is enough to show that the person in charge of this company is a ploy."
A person who is cruel and cautious enough to tolerate no mistakes."
Wen Sibao: "Are you talking about Mr. Jiang?"
Meng Qinghan shook his head, "He is not that courageous. Besides, this person is still on the run. He should not have any spare energy to deal with Hua Baifo. So I think Mr. Jiang is at best a person standing in front of the stage in the mountains and rivers.
He is just a scapegoat, and the real person responsible must still be hiding behind the scenes."
Wen Sibao nodded, feeling that what the other party said made sense. Then he carefully observed Zhang Gousi's body and said in deep thought: "Then...why did this man...die in a place like this today? What was his purpose?"
?”
"I haven't figured this out yet."
Meng Qinghan then put on his gloves, jumped into the pit, rummaged around in the loose soil, and soon found half a dusty cigarette butt, so he said to the person who came to the pit: "
Give me the evidence bag."
When a police officer handed the evidence bag to the other party, he suddenly saw the cigarette butt picked up in Meng Qinghan's hand, and then said: "Captain Meng, this is what we just found outside the pothole."
The police officer handed over two small evidence bags, and Meng Qinghan could tell at a glance that they were three same cigarette butts, the same brand, and had been smoked until only half of them were left.
She put the three cigarette butts in each one, and after looking at them carefully for a moment, she suddenly said: "I seem to know what this is going on."
Wen Sibao: "What? What did you see?"
Meng Qinghan first placed three evidence bags and three half-cut cigarette butts on the ground, and then explained.
——"Look carefully at the three cigarette butts in front of you. They all have the same brand. However, it is not difficult to see from the traces left in these cigarette butts that at least three people have been here."
——"The first cigarette butt was found by me in the hole of the deceased. It was buried in the soil together with the body of the deceased."
——"On the second cigarette butt, it can be seen that its filter tip is bitten flat, indicating that this person has the habit of sucking the cigarette holder when smoking."
——"The third cigarette butt is relatively well preserved, and the filter tip has not been bitten. It can be seen that this is the smoking habit of the third person."
——"Of these three cigarette butts, one belonged to the deceased Zhang Gou Si and was buried in the pit. The other two cigarette butts were found in the surrounding area outside the pit."
——"So I infer that what happened at that time was that after these three people dug a hole here, one of them smoked cigarettes for everyone, and Zhang Gousi should have been smoking facing the hole when he was suddenly
Two other companions attacked him from behind, which resulted in him falling into a pit with a cigarette butt in his mouth without any resistance injuries."
——"But I think that since Zhang Gou Si doesn't know that he is the target of his companions today, then the three of them must have other reasons for coming here to dig holes."
After being reminded like this, Wen Sibao immediately realized: "Yes! It's impossible for someone to dig a hole for themselves without resisting! So the purpose of the three of them coming here today is actually to dig a hole to bury the fourth person.
!Zhang Gousi himself was one of the people who took action, but he never expected that the other two companions would also take action against him after they finished what they did."
Meng Qinghan added: "You are right. If nothing else happens, there may be another body in this pothole. It is most likely the last suspect we can't find now. Over there was the person who went to Beijing."
The person who ordered the order from the suburban red brick factory is enough to show that Shanshuihe Company has really started to clean up all the people who had done the flower worship in the first place!"
Wen Sibao immediately led the police officers and continued to dig down the hole. Sure enough, after everyone dug down to a depth of nearly half a meter, a strong stench suddenly hit their faces from inside.
