Chapter 2350: Unsolved Import Case
The seventh day of the Lunar New Year.
Halongjiang Province, Manzhou City.
It was freezing cold and snowing heavily.
On the road about 12 kilometers northwest of the city, several police cars were driving slowly on the road.
This road is a small country road. Whenever it enters the winter, the road is blocked by heavy snow and there are few people.
At this moment, the snowplow was clearing the way ahead, and the police cars behind were able to pass smoothly.
"Oh, Police Officer Zhao, it's really great that you can come to guide me!" A burly police officer with a beard said to Zhao Yu from the co-pilot, "It's so cold and we are on annual leave Among them, you have worked hard!"
Zhao Yu sat in the middle of the back seat, his girlfriend Miao Ying was on the left, and his "suspected girlfriend" Simona was on the right.
There was no other way, because the task of the Criminal Department was urgent, so Zhao Yu could only bring Xi Mengna to Manzhou.
"It doesn't matter," Zhao Yu said to the bearded captain, "Captain Qiu, since there is an important case, there is no vacation to speak of!
"At least, let me go home for a year, which is not bad!"
"Officer Zhao's integrity is worthy of admiration," Captain Qiu complimented, and said, "Actually, this case has already appeared as early as winter!
"Years ago, on the day of Xiaonian, another one appeared again, and we never rested for a day!
"I thought it would be better after the new year, but I didn't expect that the murderer would commit another crime so soon! Officer Zhao," Captain Qiu swallowed, and said worriedly, "Our place is sparsely populated. In winter, there are no people in many places, I am really worried, there are still corpses that have not been found!"
"Captain Qiu," Miao Ying asked, looking out the window, "How long will it take to arrive at the scene?"
"Hurry up, hurry up," Captain Qiu said, "There will be more than ten minutes! If you can't turn the corner, you will be Meiheqiao!"
"In this case," Miao Ying said, "then tell us the facts of the case!"
These are all routines. Although Zhao Yu and Miao Ying have read the case report, every time they arrive in the local area, the local criminal investigation team leader will report in detail.
"good,
Alright," Captain Qiu turned around and said to the two, "On December 21 last year, under the Dongli Bridge in Donglitiao Village, Manzhou, someone found the body of a hanged woman!
"When it was discovered, the body had been hanging for several days. According to preliminary estimates, the time of death should be around December 16.
"The dead body was naked and frozen to death...
"After investigation, the deceased was a Russian woman named Elisa. She was a waitress at the Victory Hotel in Manzhou City. She was only 19 years old this year.
"The woman has been in Manzhou for less than three years, and she is dating a local man, planning to get married next year..."
Listening to Captain Qiu's introduction, Zhao Yu and Miao Ying flipped through the case records. There were photos of the crime scene in the records. Looking at the frozen female corpse in the photos, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel rippling in his heart.
He had seen all kinds of corpses since he was engaged in criminal investigation work, but this was the first time for a frozen corpse.
Why did the murderer kill a foreign girl so cruelly and hang her under the bridge?
Xi Mengna is a complete layman, after hearing Captain Qiu's narration, she also showed a strange expression, feeling both curious and shocked.
"According to the autopsy report," Captain Qiu continued, "the deceased was not hanged, but hanged under the bridge after being strangled to death by the murderer!"
"Under the bridge..." Zhao Yu interrupted and asked, "There is nothing under the bridge, how did the murderer hang people up?"
"It's an expansion tube," Captain Qiu said. "The murderer punched two expansion tubes under the bridge. The expansion tubes can withstand a force of about 150 kilograms..."
"Oh..." Zhao Yu nodded and muttered silently, "You have to use an electric drill to lower the expansion tube. If there is no power source in the field, you have to use an electric drill with its own power source..."
"The deceased, is there any sign of surname invasion?" Miao Ying asked.
"Yes!" Captain Qiu nodded and said, "There are obvious traces of violation, but the murderer was extremely careful and did not leave any hair or body fluids...
"Also," Captain Qiu said in embarrassment, "Our forensic medical capabilities here are limited, and it is still impossible to find out whether the deceased was violated during his lifetime or after his death!"
"Well," Miao Ying nodded, "Our forensic team is already on the way and will arrive before dark today."
"Then..." Zhao Yu pointed to the report and said, "Let's talk about the second case!"
"Okay," Captain Qiu said, "The second case is exactly the same as the first, although the deceased was discovered from the day when he was a child.
"However, because the crime scene was too far away from the urban area, surrounded by wilderness and mountains, and it was just in time for heavy snow to seal the mountains and New Year's Eve, it was discovered too late.
"According to the preliminary estimate of the forensic doctor, the deceased had been dead for nearly two weeks...
"Chinese New Year is early this year," Captain Qiu said, "so, the distance between the two cases is not very long..."
"Is the deceased also Russian?" Zhao Yu asked.
"Yes," Captain Qiu nodded and said, "Although the deceased's name was Zhang Mei, she was an out-and-out Russian girl, and she hasn't changed her nationality yet!
"She is 23 years old this year. She is a dancer of the Manzhou Red Star Song and Dance Troupe. She is unmarried and has no dating partner..."
"Where did you find it?" Miao Ying asked.
"There is no name for the bridge near Baiqi Town in the south of the city, so we will call it Baiqi Bridge for the time being," Captain Qiu introduced, "It is close to the forest farm in the mountains, and the location is relatively remote.
"Especially in winter, the entire population of Baiqi Town will go to the urban area to spend the winter, only the forest rangers are left there, and the corpses were found by the forest ranger station!
"It's exactly the same as the first one. The deceased had no clothes on. After inspection, he was also strangled to death first, and then hanged to the bridge...
"Besides," Captain Qiu said after a moment of hesitation, "it's close to the forest area, because the corpse was not hung high enough, and the deceased's right foot was bitten by wild animals, and three toes were missing..."
When Captain Qiu introduced them, Zhao Yu and Miao Ying had already seen the corresponding photos. After Xi Mengna couldn't help but glanced at them, she retched twice, quickly covered her mouth and turned her head, not daring to look at it anymore... …
"Officer Zhao," Captain Qiu swallowed, and said, "This case is indeed very serious! It's only the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and yet the third case has reappeared!
"Here..." He kept straight ahead, "Meiheqiao will arrive soon, according to the report from the scene, the deceased was also a foreign woman, and the death is exactly the same as the previous two cases!
"This is definitely a brutal, premeditated serial murder!
"Let me put it this way," Captain Qiu said, "This is the first official murder case since the establishment of our city in Manzhou. I didn't expect it to be serial...
"And, and... because this matter has spread from the people, there are still many rumors of evil sects, I don't know if you have heard of it!"
"Hmm..." Zhao Yu nodded slightly, "If it wasn't for this legend, the higher ups wouldn't have sent me here on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year!"
"Rumor? What rumor?" Simona couldn't help asking.
"Huh..." Zhao Yu exhaled heavily, and said, "Since you like reasoning so much, there's no reason why you didn't know about the case of the female corpse on the suspension bridge that happened in Eastern Europe in the 1940s, right?"
"The female corpse on the drawbridge... oh..." Simona's eyes widened suddenly, "This case is as famous as the London Ripper, and it has been included in the top ten unsolved crimes in the world. The murderer has not been caught yet!
"Could it be... is this someone imitating the killer of the female corpse case on the suspension bridge?"
