Chapter 2351: Vehicles

The snow is getting smaller and smaller, but it is still falling, and it is white and dazzling.

The police car walked along the country road and finally stopped in front of a small bridge.

The small bridge is not an arch bridge, it is only 20 meters long, and it looks a bit old.

Snow plows have removed the snow on the bridge, but the focus of the police is not on the bridge, but under the bridge.

Zhao Yu, Miao Ying, Xi Mengna, and Ran Tao and Wu Xiumin who got off from the car behind all descended along the riverside to the frozen river.

The surface air temperature here is around minus 14 degrees, and the nighttime temperature can reach a terrifying minus 30 degrees.

Therefore, the water in the river has completely frozen into ice, so there is no need to worry about safety issues.

Zhao Yu was wearing two layers of down jacket, but still felt that the clothes were thin, as if the cold wind had penetrated all the clothes at once.

The most awkward thing is the nose. When the air is exhaled from the nose, it will condense into ice flowers in an instant, and it will stick to the nose, sticking to it, so uncomfortable...

Because the area is sparsely populated and the scene of the crime is located under a bridge, the police did not cordon off.

At this moment, more than a dozen police officers are busy under the bridge.

The corpse had already been taken off the bridge by them and put into a body bag.

After Zhao Yu and the others went down, they could only see the officer's screw at the top, and the rings and nooses used to hang people...

Zhao Yu carefully observed the environment under the bridge, but saw that the ice surface was only 3 meters high from the top of the bridge. If someone used a ladder on the ice, it would be easy to reach the top of the bridge.

"Look..." Captain Qiu pointed to the expansion tube at the top and said, "It's exactly the same as the previous two cases. Our technicians found metal friction marks on the buckle. It is suspected that the murderer may have used a pulley to hang the corpse up. !"

Um……

Zhao Yu nodded silently. He had already thought of this point. It might not be difficult for the murderer to hang a person under the bridge, but after he was hoisted, he still needed to fix the rope.

Therefore, he needs to use more labor-saving pulleys for assistance, and remove the pulleys after the body is fixed.

"The murderer can't be so stupid, can he?" Ran Tao said, looking up at the noose on the top of the bridge.

"Could it be that he still wants to disguise the deceased as hanging himself?"

"Impossible," Captain Qiu said hastily, "The deceased had no clothes on. How could a person without clothes go so far away to hang himself?"

At this time, Zhao Yu came to the body bag, wanting to check the corpse.

The forensic staff next to him quickly reached out and opened the body bag, and a frozen corpse suddenly appeared inside!

"Look..." Captain Qiu quickly stepped forward to introduce, "Blonde hair, she is indeed another foreign woman... This is already the third one!"

Zhao Yu took a closer look at the deceased. Although the body was frozen, he could still see some basic features. It was a slender, beautiful looking foreign woman who was about 1.7 meters tall and very young.

Another foreign woman...

Zhao Yu sighed secretly. In fact, this was also the reason why the Criminal Department appointed him to handle it personally.

Since the deceased were all foreigners, in order to avoid any inappropriate handling of the case or cause any diplomatic incidents, the Criminal Department ended Zhao Yu's vacation ahead of schedule and asked him to lead a special investigation team to investigate.

And because the notification was late, Cui Lizhu, Zeng Ke, and Zhang Peipei have not yet arrived.

Cui Lizhu was coming from Hailan, but Zhang Peipei had already gone to the United States with Gao Facai's forensic doctor.

However, the Department of Criminal Justice has dispatched a new forensic team, and now, Zeng Ke and the new forensic team are also on the plane.

It's just that there is no airport in Manzhou, they need to fly to the provincial capital of Halong River, and then drive here, so they can't arrive until dark.

"Captain Qiu," at this time, Miao Ying asked Captain Qiu after inspecting the body, "There have been two cases, have you counted the cases of foreign women who have disappeared recently?

"If there is, is it possible to know the identity of the third deceased now?"

"Yes, yes..." Captain Qiu nodded hurriedly, "Both cases were aimed at young Russian women, and we have been counting them since we found out about the second case!

"But, the strange thing is, there isn't any..." Captain Qiu waved his hand and said, "Don't look, we are a port city, and there are nearly 20,000 Russians in the city, but our place has always been peaceful!

"From New Year's Day until now, there is not a single person reported missing!"

"Oh..." Miao Ying showed disappointment.

"It can be seen..." Ran Tao asked the forensic doctor next to him, "How long has the deceased been dead?"

The forensic doctor shook his head after hearing this, and said, "No, because of the weather, the corpse was almost frozen and sealed. It is difficult to judge the time of death by visual inspection."

While speaking, a gust of cold wind swept along the frozen river. The cold wind mixed with snowflakes made everyone unable to open their eyes. Everyone hurriedly turned their backs and turned their backs to the cold wind.

"Wow, it's so cold..." Xi Mengna was already shivering from the cold, she couldn't help approaching Zhao Yu, and took Zhao Yu's arm again.

It was this hand that Zhao Yu was most afraid of, so he quickly moved it to the side, not letting Xi Mengna succeed.

Because Xi Mengna's identity is sensitive, Zhao Yu did not tell the truth to Ran Tao and Wu Xiumin, but only said that she was sent by the Criminal Department to intern.

If they saw that Simona was so close to him, it would definitely cause suspicion and misunderstanding.

However, Xi Mengna didn't care about that, she was persistent, took another step closer to Zhao Yu, and stretched out her hand again.

But at this moment, Xi Mengna's actions had already attracted the attention of Ran Tao and Wu Xiumin, and even Captain Qiu and others looked at Zhao Yu.

Damn it!

Seeing that Xi Mengna was about to wrap her arms, Zhao Yu grabbed Xi Mengna's wrist with quick eyesight and pointed it to the distance of the river.

"Oh..." Then, Zhao Yu said pretendingly, "You mean, you're curious, how did the murderer bring the corpse to the scene?"

Zhao Yu was really clever, and with one sentence, he brought everyone back to the case.

"Yes, yes..." Ran Tao patted his forehead habitually and said, "I was wondering just now! The location is remote and the road is blocked by heavy snow, so it's impossible for the murderer to come here in a car?

"He...how did he get to the scene?"

"Hmm..." Captain Qiu immediately took a step forward after hearing this, and said to everyone, "Leaders, we have also conducted research on this issue before, and we believe that the murderer should have come here on a sledge..."

sledge...

Hearing this term, Xi Mengna was also attracted to her, so she gave up trying to grab Zhao Yu's arm.

"Yes, it's a sled!" Captain Qiu pointed to the river and said, "Those pulled by horses, donkeys, and dogs!

"The same is true for the first two cases. The road was blocked by heavy snow, and it was difficult for cars to pass. If the murderer didn't have a helicopter or something, then there was only one means of transportation left, and that was the sledge!"

"You mean..." Miao Ying asked, "The murderer came across the river on a sled, so...the sled has scratches, can we..."

Before Miao Ying finished speaking, Captain Qiu said helplessly: "It's impossible to search for scratches. The children in the nearby villages go skating and sledding on the river almost every day. Moreover, there have been several snowfalls recently. I can't find a trace..."
