Chapter 398 Human Bones

Chen Shu kicked the pile of bones with special shapes that he had picked out earlier and asked the proprietress, "These are all fished out from your sewer. Pick up a few and take a closer look."

It's just bones, what's so good about them? The confused proprietress obediently bent down and picked up one of them. She looked around but couldn't tell what it was.

Then she changed a few more bones as he said, and the result was the same.

"Should we ask the identification department to send someone to check it out?" Chen Chuan came over and whispered.

"You don't know, the forensic doctors in the branch are all very bad-tempered. It's late at night, and we will definitely be scolded for calling people here without any basis. Besides, with our identity as special police, do you think they will be willing to come? In the end, they will definitely push it to Zhongshan Institute. So, you take the proprietress back first, and then bring the boss here."

Chen Shu pondered for a moment and decided to observe the reaction of the food stall owner before making the next plan.

Not long after, the food stall owner came to the scene with his head down and was escorted by several special police officers.

Chen Shu looked at the middle-aged man who was the most suspicious, and said sternly: "The bones on the ground were all fished out from this well. Haha, have you thought of anything?"

The boss, who was not in a very good mental state, looked at the small pile of bones on the ground strangely and asked: "What's wrong with these bones? Oh, yes, our sewer was blocked a few days ago, and it was probably these bones that blocked it."

A trace of doubt flashed in Chen Shu's eyes. This man didn't look like a fake.

He narrowed his eyes and stared at the other person's eyes in silence. This was his experience in handling cases for many years.

This little trick will exert a lot of pressure invisibly, prompting the suspect to speak actively, and then be caught by the police at the breakthrough point.

Sure enough, the owner of the rice stall couldn't stand the pressure. He swallowed his saliva and started to make small talk: "Hey, that's strange, who would flush bones into the sewer? You have no common sense at all, isn't this just nonsense?"

Chen Chuan smiled coldly: "This is the pipe from your store, who do you think flushed it?"

"I flush the garbage in the kitchen every day, it's impossible to flush these small bones down. If it's blocked, I'll have to spend money to clear the pipe. I guess it must be the residents upstairs who flushed it down."

The boss got to the point, squatted down, picked up a few bones at random, looked at them, and threw them back on the ground, saying with certainty: "These bones are definitely not flushed down by us. Hey, this doesn't look like pork ribs, the cut surface is so neat."

The boss said it calmly, but it was like a bolt from the blue to Chen Shu's ears, and the whole person was immediately shaken.

Neat cut surface? Broken bones?

He pretended to be nonchalant and asked: "Besides your store, which other stores are using this shaft?"

The stall owner turned around, raised his bound hands and pointed upstairs: "This whole building is using it."

Chen Shu and Chen Chuan looked at each other quickly and felt that there was a chance!

After the stall owner was brought back to the store, Jiang Hai, who had been sitting on the side without saying a word, finally couldn't help but excitedly said: "Brother Shu, I think these bones are human bones! We will start searching from the second floor and go up now, and we will always find something somewhere!"

Chen Shu glanced at the building with more than 30 floors, shook his head and said: "This will have too much impact, it is easy to cause panic, and it may even cause public opinion. We don't have any concrete evidence at the moment, so we can't be so reckless."

However, the stall owner's previous words "not like pork ribs, cut whole" were like fish bones stuck in his throat, and he felt very uncomfortable, as if something was blocking his heart.

He looked at Ma Bowen, who was in good spirits, and said, "Bowen, please go down to the well and fish it out."

Go down the well? No way, this is too dirty. Ma Bowen was stunned for a moment, then nodded, took off his police uniform, and climbed down the stinking well wearing only a pair of boxer briefs, holding a large iron plate taken from the food stall.

This time, more bones were fished out by Ma Bowen. As Chen Chuan continued to clean them, some bones that looked like human bones were found.

It was really a broken body!

Chen Shu frowned.

Late at night, in a roadside food stall.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, after discovering the human bones, Chen Shu and others arranged for the special police team to quickly transfer the food stall couple to the nearest Zhongshan Police Station, and then contacted the Criminal Police Department to send someone over.

The food stall hall, which was supposed to be sealed off, was now empty except for four people in plain clothes, Chen Shu, Chen Chuan, Yan Chenxi and Jiang Hai, who were sitting at a round table. There was no one else, no policeman.

On the round table was the pot of soaked meat that had been placed in the corner of the kitchen.

Jiang Hai whispered excitedly: "Brother Shu, I said before that this must be a murder case. This meat must be the meat of the hostage."

He touched the edge of the iron pot on the table with great joy.

"Ugh!"

Yan Chenxi couldn't help it, and covered her mouth and looked under the table.

Let alone human meat, she couldn't stand even ordinary pork.

As a result, when she looked under the table, a pile of human bones that had been fished out from the well outside were placed in front of her again.

"Ugh!"

Yan Chenxi, whose face was pale, couldn't stand this torture, and felt an extremely strong nausea rising in her stomach. She pushed aside the table and chairs and ran behind the front desk, holding the front desk with one hand and pressing the other hand tightly against her chest.

Jiang Hai glanced at his sister with a strange expression and asked in confusion: "Is it so exaggerated?"

Chen Chuan took out the yellow cigarettes that Li Meng had never thought of from his pocket, took out a cigarette and handed it to Jiang Hai: "Boy, I underestimated you before. You, you have a bit of a police embryo."

"That's a must."

Jiang Hai didn't know good cigarettes, but he still took it happily, took the lighter from the table, and lit it with a "click".

Chen Shu, who was sitting next to him, originally wanted to knock Jiang Hai's hand away from smoking, but thought that he was over 18 years old and should have the right to choose for himself. Besides, his performance today was really good, which made Chen Shu look up to him.

While the few people were chatting, Li Meng and the criminal police rushed in.

"Is there a dead person?" Li Meng approached the table, supported the table with both hands, stared at Chen Shu and asked hurriedly.

Chen Shu stood up and walked to the door to close it. He turned around and pointed at the big piece of meat on the table and the human bones on the ground: "It's almost certain. Look at this meat, could it be human meat? And these bones on the ground."

A middle-aged man following Li Meng walked around the people who were talking, walked to the table on the iron basin, and reached out to fiddle with the big piece of meat that had been soaking in the basin for a long time.

"Pork."

The middle-aged man said calmly, then leaned over to turn over the bones on the ground, his expression sank and he turned his head and nodded to Li Meng.

Li Meng asked: "Was it someone from this food stall who killed him?"

Chen Shu took out the surveillance footage taken by the bank through his mobile phone and showed it to several people. Then he told them about the appearance of the food stall owner and the situation of being left-handed.

The criminal police also recognized that the food stall owner was the murderer.

Chen Shu raised doubts.

According to the situation he had contacted before, the crime scene was definitely not in this food stall. And the well pipe is used by all residents in the building, so it is very likely that the suspect is a resident upstairs.

As for why the person in the bank surveillance is suspected to be the owner of the food stall, Chen Shu's speculation is very simple. Since the perpetrator is a resident living upstairs, he must have had a lot of contact with the owner of the food stall.

He deliberately imitated the owner of the food stall.

Chen Shu was firm.
