The next day, Tianzongshan.
A Mercedes-Benz Big G jumped across the mountain road, and was cut into countless marks by the sharp branches along the way, and finally stopped on the side of the road with a bang.
"Fuck..." Yan Xun slammed the car door, touched the door and hood with a bit of pain, and pulled out Jiang Ting, whose face had already been turned pale: "It's a fucking torture to come to this ghost place. "
Jiang Ting waved his hands and was speechless, and suddenly covered his mouth: "Ouch—"
For a moment, Yan Yan thought he was going to vomit on himself, but then he found out that it was just retching. Jiang Ting coughed a few times before barely suppressing his churning stomach, and took a few sips of water.
"Look at you," Yan Yan said with a distressed face: "Don't hold on, what are you afraid of, let's get the certificate when you're pregnant."
Jiang Ting managed to swallow the water with his neck in his throat, and asked exhaustedly, "Do you know that people in this wild country can bury you on the spot for three months without anyone finding out?"
Yan Yan: "Yo hoo, you still put on the spectrum, haven't you paid enough nutrition or don't pay enough betrothal gifts? Would you like to buy you two more half-pound dragon and phoenix gold bracelets to hang on your hands?"
The entrances and exits of several major highways in Tianzong Mountain have been checked by the police, and the area where the incident occurred has been surrounded by a cordon. Knowing that the road was difficult, Yan Yan specially drove out the G65, which had been parked in the city center for a long time. However, the closer it was to the Phoenix Forest, the more rugged and difficult it was to drive. In the end, the big G could only be thrown to the side of the road.
The two of them walked through the woods with one foot deep and one foot shallow, supporting each other, trudging toward the fiery red phoenix forest on the top of the mountain.
Yan Yan said: "You're almost done. Three media, six hires, eight sedan chairs, the house can add your name, but you must listen to me when you get the certificate. Let's discuss other conditions, whether the banquet will be hosted on your side or mine. Or do both sides? If you don’t need a dowry, keep it for yourself as private money, I guess it will have to subsidize you a little bit.”
Jiang Ting held the stone with one hand, Yan Yan pulled the other hand tightly, gritted his teeth and tried his best to climb the steep slope.
"It's just that you need to take good care of your body." Yan Yan rambled and taught him a lesson: "Look at you, don't work so hard when you handle cases in the future, it's better to raise a dog at home and water the flowers if you don't have to, why don't you go shopping for afternoon tea... "
Jiang Ting panted for a while while leaning on his knee, "Here it is."
"what?"
Jiang Ting raised his chin and signaled, "The place of execution."
Yan Yan looked back and saw that on the top of the steep hillside not far away, lush phoenix trees were scattered in a scattered manner. The open space was supported by wooden sticks and surrounded by a yellow and black warning line, and a deep pit was clearly recessed in the ground.
- That's where He Liang and Bu Wei Shen Xiaoqi were buried and attacked.
"Afternoon tea is waiting for me," Jiang Ting sighed, getting up and staggering over.
He Liang's corpse had been taken out and transported away, and even a layer of sand, gravel, soil and ash at the bottom of the pit had been scraped off. Gou Li personally supervised and transported it back to the Municipal Bureau for inspection. Jiang Ting squatted on the edge of the inverted cone-shaped pit and looked down. Yan Yan walked over and stood beside him, only to hear him say, "The depth is at least one meter."
"Well, to be precise, the deepest point is nearly two meters. The soil dug out is all piled up in the Phoenix Forest. The bottom of the pit is covered with thick weeds, fallen leaves, wooden strips, etc. Most of the thin wooden strips are clearly visible. traces of crushing.”
"trap?"
"It should be a simple but effective trap. I made it myself when I went hunting in Africa a few years ago. First, I hollowed out the soil, made a load-bearing layer with wooden strips and haystacks, and then piled up floating soil and fallen leaves. The meat is used as bait; when the prey comes up, it crushes the fragile haystack wood, and with a bang, it falls into the pit."
Jiang Ting turned his head and glanced at him: "The bait should be water, right?"
"It should be," Yan Yan said, "According to the on-site technical investigator's speculation, Shen Xiaoqi should have drank the bottle of water while standing on the trap, collapsed the load-bearing layer under his own weight, and then fell in unexpectedly and pressed against He Liang. ."
They both fell silent for a moment.
Thinking about that scene, it's really scary. The ground suddenly collapsed under your feet, and you fell directly into the body to come face-to-face with the corpse...
Jiang Ting coughed: "Have the nearby footprints and fingerprints been extracted?"
"Footprints are proposed, and the markers on the ground are all checked. However, it rained nearby that night, and the site was destroyed in a mess, and there is not much reference value." Yan Yan sighed and said: "Currently What is certain is that there was more than one criminal who came in and out of the scene at the time of the incident, which is in line with Li Yuxin's confession, and it should be a kidnapping gang appointed by the mastermind behind the scenes."
"Can the gang escape?"
"Look at the surrounding geographical environment for yourself." Yan Yan pointed helplessly: "This hillside, bushes, virgin forest—I don't even say that you can find a hillside to hide in, you can see the grass nests all over the ground. Most of the people are so tall that they can't be found at a distance of ten meters."
Jiang Ting said casually: "You got it, your fieldwork team's work is rough." He stood up, but after squatting for a long time, his legs became numb, and he fell into the dirt pit uncontrollably.
"—Hey, be careful!"
Yan Yan was quick-witted and pulled Jiang Ting into his arms a moment before he fell into the pit. Because of the inertial impact, both of them took several steps back at the same time.
"… "
Jiang Ting's entire face was forcibly pressed into the shoulder socket by Yan Xun, and the scent of male hormones mixed with the smell of good perfume rushed to his face. His expression suddenly became a little stiff, and he slowly raised his head and took a half step back. He was about to say something nonchalantly to divert the topic, but found that Yan Yan's eyes were clearly flickering suspiciously.
"You did it on purpose?" Yan Yan said.
Jiang Ting: "..."
"Then you have to go back to the car first. The crime scene here is so bad."
Jiang Ting took a deep breath and forced himself to quickly flash back to the touching scenes at the bottom of the river in Jiangyang County in his mind. Half a minute later, his psychological construction and self-cultivation level had been rapidly improved geometrically, and he was calm. Said: "Let's go through the case again first."
Yan Yan squeezed her chin, obviously still suspicious.
"Judging from the traces at the scene, the footprints of the kidnapper and the two victims came to the bottom of the hillside respectively, and then the victim's footprints disappeared, and the footprints of several kidnappers deepened significantly. They should have carried the victim to the top of the hillside, in this position."
Jiang Ting walked to the place where the yellow pole was inserted not far away, leaned over and cut through the grass, observed the dried up traces in the soil, and then followed the marking and walked back to the pit:
"I don't know what happened after that. Maybe Bu Wei was under the control of the kidnappers or passed out like Li Yuxin. Shen Xiaoqi came to the trap alone to get water, fell into the pit dug by the kidnappers, and then confronted He Liang. The ossified corpses caused great devastation."
Yan Yan said: "But Li Yuxin's DNA can still be detected from He Liang's fingernails, which is enough to prove who killed him."
"As long as something happens, it will inevitably leave evidence... You see, Shen Xiaoqi struggled at the bottom of the pit and left obvious traces. During the process, the mineral water bottle fell into the pit."
Jiang Ting said and squatted down again. The police had set up rocks on the edge of the pit as a support point. He wanted to slowly climb down to have a look, but was stopped by Yan Yan: "It's too slippery, don't go down." Said With his own agility, he jumped into the pit.
Jiang Ting gave up safely, squatted on it and watched Yan Yan check everywhere, and it took a long time to ask, "Have you found anything?"
"No! What are you doing? Be careful not to let me pick it up again! Although I don't mind picking it up, don't play the same trick twice!"
Jiang Ting: "..."
Yan Yan felt very good about herself, stood up and patted her mud-stained cuffs:
"The empty mineral water bottle was taken back by the technical team and tested from the inside out. Even the plastic of the bottle was cut out for laboratory analysis. It was basically confirmed that it was an ordinary bottle of mineral water, and it was not mixed with any messy drug ingredients. The saliva at the mouth of the bottle and the fingerprints on the body of the bottle point to the same direction, which means that if Shen Xiaoqi feeds Bu Wei mouth-to-mouth, then he drank the whole bottle of water alone, and Bu Wei did not catch it at all, which is in line with the 'betrayal' in the kidnapping case. imagery.”
Jiang Ting nodded silently.
"Let's restore the situation at the time of the crime," Yan Yan said, "Suppose the kidnappers chased, induced or coerced the two victims to come to the vicinity of Phoenix Forest, and then put this bottle of water in the open space, making the desire to survive strong. Shen Xiaoqi climbed over and drank it by himself, and then fell into the pit; finally, he woke up Bu Wei and forced her to execute the death sentence on Shen Xiaoqi, who betrayed her, just like Li Yuxin."
Yan Yan stepped on the stones and climbed to the ground, squatted down and gestured:
"But at this distance, Bu Wei can't reach Shen Xiaoqi anyway, unless he lifts a stone and smashes his head."
"Bu Wei doesn't necessarily have the strength to lift a large stone." Jiang Ting shook his head and said, "And the meaning of killing someone at close range and using a weapon at a distance is completely different. You can see from He Liang's nails - Li Yuxin must have passed by. It took a lot of fighting to stab him to death. The method of killing has always been a very important and unalterable part of execution ceremonies throughout the ages."
"So the kidnappers took a lot of time to get Shen Xiaoqi out of the pit, just to let Bu Wei stab him to death? Why not give Bu Wei the knife and get her down? It's obviously more convenient for girls who are underweight."
Yan Yan and Jiang Ting stood by the pit, and they looked at each other, feeling very strange to each other.
Suddenly Jiang Ting seemed to think of something: "...How many possibilities do you think it is possible that the King of Spades was at the scene on the day of the crime?"
"If I were a drug dealer, I would definitely not dare to show up when the police closed the mountain. Li Yuxin's confession also showed that the mastermind behind the scenes contacted her through a satellite mobile phone. But the words of the king of spades are more difficult to say, mainly because we are in Hu Weisheng's house. I met him once on the rooftop, and this drug lord's behavior seems to be..." Yan Yan frowned and considered his words, and said, "I feel that I have a long life."
Jiang Ting smiled briefly: "I don't think he will appear here, and he didn't talk to the scene on the day of the incident."
"Why?"
"Command car."
The answer was quite simple, but Yan Yan suddenly realized.
- On the day of the incident, several command vehicles were nearby, and any short-wave signals and satellite communications could not escape the channel monitoring system of the command vehicles. In other words, if someone like the King of Spades who monitored Li Yuxin's killing of He Liang throughout the entire process, if they want to satisfy their extreme paranoia about the execution ceremony, they can only have their subordinates record the whole process!
"It's impossible to carry a camera over in the wilderness, but if the execution process is under the pit, the mobile phone can't record it clearly." Jiang Ting said lightly: "So I can only pull Shen Xiaoqi up, and several kidnappers surrounded the victim, Just like Li Yuxin killed He Liang at the time..."
"But why were the two victims found under the hillside and pushed down by the kidnappers?" Yan Yan asked suspiciously.
This question is really hard to explain.
Even if they tried to restore the situation at the time of the crime with all the evidence at the scene, they would not be able to grow the eyes of the sky, or turn back time and go back to the scene to witness what the victim experienced.
Jiang Ting took a breath, and gently rubbed his throat with his gloved fingertips. After a long time, he muttered: "Maybe Bu Wei made a completely different choice from Li Yuxin, so that she would also be executed... But It's really weird to fall off a cliff anyway."
Yan Yan was originally immersed in the case, but when he glanced at him, he saw that he raised his head slightly and touched his slender and straight neck, and suddenly swallowed uncontrollably.
Jiang Ting asked, "What do you think?"
"Oh, ah? What?"
Jiang Ting: "..."
The two stared blankly at each other, Yan Yan quickly looked at the watch to hide his absent-mindedness: "Let's go, what time is it. It's useless to watch it any longer. Let's talk about it when the victim wakes up."
—Indeed, in the current stalemate and unpredictable situation, key clues can only be provided when Bu Wei or Shen Xiaoqi wakes up, and it is difficult to make breakthrough progress.
Jiang Ting had no choice. It was already past four o'clock at this time, and it was estimated that the drive back to Jianning City would not be able to arrive until evening. The two of them could only walk down the steep hillside cautiously and staggeringly. Yan Xun helped Jiang Ding, who was about to fall, from time to time. It's like driving an off-road vehicle with superior performance down the mountain.
The carriage bounced up and down on the bumpy mountain road. Yan Yan took out the cigarette case and signaled to Jiang Ting.
"Look at your face." Yan Yan lit a cigarette and said, "I'll invite you to dinner later in the city and make up for it."
Jiang Ting's calm and clear voice when analyzing the case was now quite empty: "Be careful when I eat, I vomit in your car..."
Before he finished speaking, Yan Yan looked at him in horror, and stepped on the brakes with a sting.
Jiang Ting's drowsy mind finally remembered that this is the top-of-the-line G65. If he vomited in the car, he would probably be caught and sold by Yan Yan... Selling his kidneys, he quickly sat upright: "It's okay, I can still—"
The next second he choked.
Yan Xun didn't open the window or drive him out of the car, but without hesitation and impatiently, Shura took off his shirt, put his hands in front of him and said, "Spit it out."
Jiang Ting: "?"
All Jiang Ting's desire to overturn the river and the sea was held back when he saw the shirt sign, but Yan Yan didn't care about this at all. He seemed to be unintentional, but he turned his body on purpose, fully showing the strong lines of his upper body, and sighed: "The time and money I have willingly been cheated out of by private education over the years is just for this moment!"
Jiang Ting: "..."
Yan Yan started the car with emotion, and his naked muscles stood proudly under the sunlight. Beside him, Jiang Ting held the clothes that must be more expensive than washing a car with a blank face, and never vomited again.
Yan Yan was just smoking a cigarette, shirtless, driving a big G that pulled the wind all the way back to Jianning, and harvested countless horns along the way. When he got off the expressway, he was chatted up by the beautiful car owner in front of him. He couldn't help but be very contented.
Jiang Sui covered his face with clothes and pretended to be asleep.
The two did not return to Jianning until more than eight o'clock, and the sky was dark. According to Yan Yan, it has been very hard to travel and drive for a few days. At this time, you should find a charming restaurant and have a good meal. If you can't, order a "non-shabby" seafood porridge for takeaway and let Jiang stop take a look. It was authentic geoduck; however, he hadn't decided which seafood porridge takeaway was not shabby, when suddenly the phone rang, it was the city bureau's call.
"Hello, old man?"
Yan Yan listened attentively for a moment, Jiang Ting stopped pretending to be asleep, and lifted his clothes to reveal his face.
"Okay, I see, I'll take a look later."
Yan Yan hung up the phone, then looked at Jiang Ting and sighed, affectionately and full of love: "Why can't I even let you eat it?"
"..." The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder struck too hard. Jiang Ting wanted to ask him what Gao Panqing said, but he instantly forgot the words.
Fortunately, Yan Xun stopped the wind and gave him the answer: "Lao Gao called to say that Bu Wei woke up and his mental state was not very good."
He paused and asked apologetically, "Can I buy you two buns?"
