Chapter 591 Heading to Shidu Town

That night, Chen Yi spent a long time eating with Fang Yanjun. They didn't talk about work, only about family matters. It was warm and relaxed.

When it comes to going to the central and western regions thousands of miles away to investigate the case, Fang Yanjun only said to do his best. If he encounters difficulties and thinks he can help, just give him a call.

After returning to the hotel and having a good sleep, the next morning the special case team received their guns and set off on the road away from the Imperial City.

He Shirong was on a business trip right after he took office. When he was in Yangcheng, he had already mentioned the case in Shidu Town. This was the first battle of the special case team.

This case was more difficult than Chen Yi expected.

The file is top secret and cannot be taken away or copied. Chen Yi recalled the details of the file in his mind. Although he was looking out the window, his mind was already immersed in the case.

Qin Fei was driving. If he was tired, he would take turns with Shi Xin and the others on the road.

If you don't stop along the way, you can rest for a while at the service area. You should be able to reach the town of Shidu before dark.

Today is neither a holiday nor a weekend, so there won't be many people in Shidu Town.

Local rumors say it is haunted and have scared away many people over the years. Those like Tan Dong still dare to go there. There are probably only a few adventure anchors and curious young people left.

The journey was lonely and boring, so Cheng Hanjun opened the topic: "I thought of Fengmen. I went there with my classmates when I was a graduate student. To be honest, that place does feel very awkward. Feng Shui still has a certain scientific basis."

The co-pilot was Su Ying. She remained silent and was distracted. I wonder if she was thinking about the case like Chen Yi.

In the middle row are Chen Yi and He Xin, while Cheng Hanjun and Teng Dabin sit at the back.

Teng Dabin, who was closest to Cheng Hanjun, said, "Are you saying that Feng Shui has caused some villages to take on a strange color?"

Cheng Hanjun said: "You can't say that. The weird colors are all spread by rumors. But to achieve the best effect, the seal itself must be different from other places, otherwise netizens would have refuted the rumors."

Teng Dabin: "What's the difference?"

Cheng Hanjun: “I had a thorough understanding back then. The architectural layout of Fengmen was against the conventions of Feng Shui and made people feel very uncomfortable. Furthermore, there was a custom in the village of not burying dead people outside, which directly led to a strong negative energy in the whole village over the years.

There are so many graves, it’s scary to look at them.

Also, the geographical location of the closed door is special. People who enter can easily lose their sense of direction and get lost, which adds to the mystery. Therefore, it becomes more and more bizarre as it is passed down. In fact, reasonable explanations can be found. "

Shi Xin from the middle row looked back: "What about the small town of Shidu? Have you ever heard anyone talk about it?"

Cheng Hanjun shook his head: "No, Captain Chen said that Tan Dong encountered ghosts twice in a row at Yunshui Inn, which is very ridiculous. Even in a famous ghost village like Fengmen, no one has ever said that he encountered ghosts.

If Tan Dong hadn't lied, then someone was pretending, and the people in Yunshui Inn had quite a problem. "

Teng Dabin said: "After so many years, there has been a murder case. If there was something wrong with Yunshui Inn, it should have been found out long ago."

Cheng Hanjun: "I didn't say I was the boss. Don't you think a remote town that has been abandoned for many years is suitable for killing people?

After calling the police, it took an hour for the police to arrive, and they were police officers from the police station. They lacked experience in murder scene investigation and could easily overlook many clues.

I personally think that this is the main reason why this case has not been solved for a long time. If a higher-level criminal investigation team can arrive quickly, a lot of things may be found. "

Teng Dabin agreed: "That's right. The central and western regions are not as good as the eastern regions. Beating someone can make news."

The further west you go, the more desolate it becomes, especially the vast and sparsely populated autonomous region, where you have no idea what happened in the past.

Shi Xin: "Let's return to the case itself. We can't turn back time. We can't change the past. We can only rely on existing clues to find new possibilities.

Team Chen mentioned yesterday that one was true and the other was false. At that time, He Bu was present and everyone did not dare to speak. Now we can chat casually. "

Teng Dabin temporarily shut his mouth. Chen Yi was right in scolding him before. He was not particularly good at criminal investigation and lacked experience. He joined the special case team just to protect Chen Yi's safety.

Chen Yi's fighting ability is stronger than him, but Chen Yi is not the only one in the special case team.

"They shouldn't be twins, right?" Qin Fei, who was driving, spoke.

Su Ying, the co-pilot, turned her head in surprise with a strange look on her face. This possibility was infinitely close to zero.

Is it the elder brother or younger brother who lives in Jingcheng, and the elder brother or younger brother who dies in Shidu Town?

Three pairs in a row?

A bit ridiculous.

Not saying it's impossible...but it's still ridiculous and the idea is very strange.

Shi Xindao: "If there is only one deceased person, you can guess whether it is twins, but there are three deceased people. Three sets of twins are involved in the murder case, and the household registration information cannot be found. The possibility is too low."

Qin Fei: "Then it can only be makeup. The murderer is proficient in makeup. Maybe it's Jingcheng, maybe it's the corpse in Shidu Town. In short, there must be a fake victim who deceived the investigators through makeup.

If you want to do this... you have an accomplice, right? "

Su Ying was surprised again. She thought the same thing. The young man in front of her was trying to lure her away.

Sure enough, there are no mediocre people who can be pulled into the special case team by Chen Yi.

Shi Xin asked: "Which one is false? Don't be influenced by Captain Chen first and make your own judgment."

Yesterday, Chen Yi judged that the corpse in Shidu Town was more likely to be fake.

Possibilities are just possibilities after all. Without conclusive evidence, it cannot be said to be 100% fact.

Qin Fei set up adaptive cruise, which allowed him to devote his energy to discussing the case. At this time, he said: "Team Chen and I have the same idea, and we also believe that the probability of the corpse in Shidu Town being fake is higher.

Except for the operational space, the three victims in Jingcheng had no intention of deliberately exposing their whereabouts. They all disappeared on unmonitored roads after get off work. The murderer had obviously planned for a long time and knew the work and life of the three people well. He knew what It’s safest to do it when and where.

After Jingcheng was settled, the accomplices in Shidu Town immediately hung up the body and prompted people from the Yunshui Inn to call the police. The Shuishi Town Police Station rushed to the scene and took pictures. Only then did the victim appear in Jingcheng one hour before and one hour after. Hanged in the small town of Shidu.

In fact, the victim may not be dead at all when the police are called. "

This inference was well-founded. Except for Chen Yi who was looking out the window, several people nodded unanimously and gave positive affirmation.

Teng Dabin sighed secretly, even the disciples he taught were so smart. No wonder Chen Yi was like a monster. When he was on Sendong Island, he wanted to be ahead of him in everything and had keen insight. Otherwise, the two of them would have been beaten into pieces. .

Shi Xindao: "In this case, it can be indirectly determined that the murderer is either a native of Jingcheng, or has lived in Jingcheng for a long time, and because of something, he became enemies with the three victims and planned this serial murder.

Maybe, he is also from the Jingcheng Economic and Technological Development Zone and is active under the eyes of the investigators, but he was able to avoid it perfectly this time. "

Qin Fei: "Are you making enemies? This is the biggest difficulty in this case."

If there is a grudge, there must be traces. The police in Jingcheng and Xigui County have been investigating for so long and invested a lot of police force. It can be said that they have dug out everything they can. If there is a grudge, how come they can't find it.

Could it be that in the Jiangcheng case, they were jointly involved in something that outsiders didn’t know about?

Jiangcheng is full of tombs, what about Jingcheng?

Jiangcheng was buried in the soil, and Jingcheng was hanged. Is there any explanation for hanging?

Chen Yi hadn't moved yet. Su Ying, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but look back and found that the other person seemed to be admiring the scenery outside the window and didn't care what everyone was talking about.

Since he did not express his opinion, it means that there should be no serious mistakes in the discussion just now, nor any unexpected major breakthroughs.

Based on the other party’s investigative experience and thinking, these are probably all things he has thought of.

Four hours later, they stopped at the service area. Several people got out of the car to have some lunch and rest, and then Cheng Hanjun drove.

The current service area is a five-star service area. I heard that it cost 300 million to build, and it is very well built. It has everything you need for food, clothing, and transportation, and there are also many entertainment venues.

Chen Yi had not participated in the discussion when he was in the car. Now he spoke while eating: "One true and one false is the most reasonable explanation. If the body in Shidu Town is not a victim, then before the Jingcheng Criminal Investigation Detachment saw the body , the body must have been dropped.

Regardless of the identity of the corpse before the package was swapped, do you think there is anything wrong with Yang Hongyi? "

Yang Hongyi is the only forensic doctor on staff in Xigui County. Every victim in this case is taken over by Yang Hongyi after leaving Shidu Town. Theoretically, he can do anything.

Everyone looked over.

When did he speak again: "It's not mentioned in the file. Did the Jingcheng Criminal Investigation Detachment not suspect it?"

Chen Yi: "Not necessarily. If you suspect something, you won't write it down in the file and seal it. After all, you are your colleague. You can't talk nonsense without evidence, let alone leave it in the file. This is irresponsible to Yang Hongyi.

If this matter spreads, it will inevitably have a serious impact on Yang Hongyi's career. "

It's scary when three people become tigers. Over time, suspicions will turn into rumors, and rumors will turn into stains. No matter what you do or not, it will be considered negative, and you will have to bear the criticism of people around you.

Whether the Jingcheng Criminal Investigation Detachment suspects it or not, it will not be reflected in the file.

You need to ask individually.

"Would you like to call Chai Ziyi?" Shi Xin said.

Chai Ziyi is the captain of the Jingcheng Criminal Investigation Detachment. He was the deputy captain when he investigated the Shidu Town case, and now he has been promoted.

This person is going to meet sooner or later, so it's normal to have a phone call in advance.

The other party must have been notified that the unsolved case eight years ago is now taken over by the police special case team, led by Chen Yi from Yangcheng.

Chen Yi shook his head and said: "No fight, one of the reasons why I chose to go to Jingcheng last is to see Chai Ziyi last.

The content in the file is objective, but the words spoken by the police handling the case will be subjective and will affect the judgment to some extent. Since the case involves many places, there is no need to contact Chai Ziyi for the time being, so let's wait and see.

We checked it ourselves first. After we finished the investigation, we exchanged the clues in our hands with Chai Ziyi's to check for any gaps. "

When is new: "Okay."

Su Ying ate in silence. She now regarded Chen Yi as a genius in investigating the case. She was not surprised by anything he said and just obeyed his orders.

In fact, she was not needed in the case in Ishidu Town because the bodies of the three victims had already been cremated.

There is no legal provision that "the family members of the victim cannot cremate the remains of the victim until the murder case is solved." According to the procedures for handling criminal cases by the public security organs, for the needs of case investigation, forensic doctors must promptly conduct an inquest or inspection of the victim's remains, extract, and Collect traces, physical evidence, biological samples, etc. related to the case.

To determine the cause of death, the body may be dissected.

After the full autopsy, if there is no need to keep the body, the public security organs can notify the family to take the body back, instead of waiting until the case is solved.

After taking it back, they will choose to cremate it.

In this case, the cause of death of the three victims is very simple, all of which are mechanical asphyxiation caused by strangulation. There are no other wounds on the body, and the drug components are detected in the mouth and nose.

A very clear process of committing the crime: hanging after fainting.

This requires a lot of strength, and it is judged that it was committed by a young and middle-aged male.

When reading the files, Su Ying mainly looked at the autopsy report, which has very comprehensive and detailed photos. According to her judgment, there was no problem with the autopsy done by the forensic doctor at that time.

It's a very simple job, and it doesn't matter who does it.

It is worth noting that the nails of the three victims are very clean, which should have been cleaned, indicating that the murderer has a strong anti-reconnaissance awareness. Not to mention DNA, not even a little bit of clothing fiber was left to the police.

As for the rope used for hanging, it is a common nylon rope, which is very clean.

Nylon rope is a high-strength, durable, lightweight, wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and non-breakable rope with a wide range of uses, so it is impossible to find out.

"Captain Chen, are we going directly to Shidu Town?" Qin Fei asked.

Chen Yi: "Yes."

Qin Fei: "As a special case team or?"

Chen Yi: "As a tourist, from now on, forget that you are police officers and think of yourself as a foreigner who comes here to play with curiosity.

Isn't Yunshui Inn haunted? Let's go and see if it's still haunted. If it is, we can be ghost hunters by the way."

Qin Fei: "Tan Dong said that he saw a ghost hanging on a dead tree. That dead tree must be the crime scene of this case.

Being able to describe the crime scene can't be out of thin air, right? Either you have seen the crime scene, or you have really seen a ghost... The ghost I'm talking about is someone pretending to be a ghost."

At this point, Chen Yi looked at Su Ying, who had been silent. The other party had finished eating and sat there like an outsider. Maybe he hadn't integrated into the team yet.

The other party was not good at socializing.

"Sister Su, do you have any ideas? We will all be colleagues fighting side by side in the future, so don't be so reserved."

Several people looked at Su Ying.

Su Ying didn't expect Chen Yi to suddenly turn the topic to her. The word "Sister Su" touched her and seemed to be much closer.

She was not distracted, and her mind was not idle. She immediately spoke: "Tan Dong saw the ghost about three years after the incident. If someone is still playing tricks three years later, there must be a purpose. I wonder what the purpose is.

If someone is really playing tricks, catching this guy may help the case, or even... he himself is an insider and participant, and the identity of the murderer cannot be ruled out."

Teng Dabin suggested: "Could it be someone in the inn?"

Su Ying: "It's hard to say. The three cases all happened on the dead tree outside the town. The people in the inn have been investigated thoroughly, and they are the closest.

If it is really them, they are hiding too deeply."

Qin Fei added: "The file shows that there are other villages near Shidu Town. Those who should be visited have been visited, and those who should be investigated have been investigated."

Chen Yi concluded: "The content of the file is very important. If something we find is inconsistent with the record in the file, it means that there is a breakthrough.

When we arrive at Shidu Town, everyone should be vigilant, listen more, watch more... talk more."

Talk more?

Several people nodded in agreement.
