Chapter 208: A fragment that disappeared

Views:

Several people nodded, pulled themselves together, and then walked to the forensics department. The sack of things that Xiao Liu brought back at night is now lying quietly in this office. The corridor was quiet, only the sound of a few of us walking around. When we opened the office, we saw that these things had been sorted and packed in evidence bags at this moment.

And the key evidence, the fragments of those bowls are also being packed in a bag at the moment. Judging from the shape and size of these fragments, this is definitely not a fragment of a bowl. It seems that these fragments can probably be assembled into several bowls.

I looked at the crowd, glanced at the fragment, and said, "Let's put it together and see if we can spell something ugly."

Inexplicably, everyone has already started to move their hands. Several of us put on gloves, carefully took out these pieces, and then slowly put them together. I slowly took these pieces and put them together carefully according to the texture. Fortunately, these pieces are relatively large and neat, and have not been broken into small pieces. Otherwise, we will not be able to put together a complete piece even if we want to put it together. of something.

Due to the larger pieces, little adhesive is required to form a bowl shape. As long as there is no major vibration, it can still maintain balance. In this way, three bowls were assembled, but when the fourth bowl was assembled, we found that one piece was missing.

And what we can be sure of is that we have assembled all the pieces inside the bag. But at this moment, there is still one piece missing, and there are only two possibilities. First, Xiao Liu and others did not bring this fragment back from the sewer, and second, Xiao Liu brought this fragment back, but took it away again.

Gu Chen looked at these put together bowls, and he didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of stirring up the airflow and breaking the bowls "standing" in delicate balance into pieces of a table: "I said, from these What can be seen on the bowls? These bowls look like ordinary bowls, except that they are a little old. Speaking of which, some bowls in my family are as old as me."

I held my breath and looked at these bowls seriously. Judging from the appearance of these bowls, there is no problem. Although the age of these bowls is a bit long, it can be vaguely seen that the paintings on the outside are various small animals. I remembered that when I was very young, the bowls at home also had such distinctive pictures of modernity.

After putting them together carefully, I found that these bowls should be a set, because there are various animals painted on the outside of the bowls, including a big rooster, a big mouse, a puppy and a pig. four bowls. And the piece that was missing was on the big cock bowl.

I carefully looked at the edges of the missing fragments, only to find that the traces of these edges are very new, and the degree of oxidation is not obvious, which shows that the fragments have just been smashed. From this point of view, these bowls have been preserved for a long time.

There are small bumps and nicks on the bowl, which seem to have been formed during use, and the wear is relatively large. But looking at the inside of the bowl, it is relatively clean. Which of the things in the sewer is not full of dirt and stench.

But these bowls are not like that. The inside of these bowls is relatively clean. Although there are dirt, they will be wiped off with a light hand wipe. This shows that these stains did not stick to the inside of these bowls a long time ago, but were just stained. Xiao Liu probably relied on this to know that these bowls were left by the murderer.

We had a sudden encounter with the murderer in the sewer, and the murderer naturally didn't have time to take away everything in the sewer. In the next hour or so, Xiao Liu raided the sewer and searched the sewer for several hours. Afterwards, the murderer had no choice but to take away the contents.

I gently wrapped a bowl to see if there was anything written on the bottom of the bowl. After looking down, I found that this bowl was from 2002, more than ten years have passed since now. There is only one reason why these four bowls can still be used after more than ten years, that is, someone has well protected and collected these bowls.

And these bowls belong to the murderer.

I somewhat understood Xiao Liu's thoughts.

The bowls that can be preserved for such a long time must have a special meaning to the murderer, otherwise, why would the murderer have to keep a few bowls. And judging from the scope of the operation, the murderer seemed to carry these bowls with him. It is precisely because of this that these bowls have not been polluted.

Looking at these bowls, I said, "Sister Mary, can you find the production address of these bowls?"

Then, I handed the bottom of the bowl to Mary to look at. Mary looked at the words on the bottom of the bowl and said, "Made in Moulin Rouge? It’s been a long time, and I don’t know if the production factory named Moulin Rouge is still there.”

I rubbed my shoulders for Sister Mary, and then said: "Then please trouble Sister Mary, I think there is no reason for the murderer to keep these bowls. These bowls may be of great significance to him." Yes. If we know who bought these bowls more than ten years ago, then we will know who the murderer is."

Sister Mary glanced back at me, then said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about that, since I want to investigate the murderer, I will only be more attentive than you. However, it will take time. Let's start from 2002 The Dongxing City of China will start to check, and then look at the rest of the time period."

After speaking, Sister Mary nodded to the few of us, and then said: "If that's the case, I'll go back and investigate this matter first."

But as soon as Sister Mary finished speaking, we heard the sound of someone walking outside the door. After a while, several familiar faces appeared in front of me. We are very familiar with these people, none other than Team Leader Li, Xiao Liu and a few team members. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, the two groups met here.

I looked at Team Leader Li, and Team Leader Li looked at me.

After a while, Team Leader Li said, "It's hard enough for you guys to stay up late at night and come to investigate the evidence."

I looked at Team Leader Li, and said, "Isn't Team Leader Li also here to investigate in person? I think you must have made some breakthroughs, otherwise I wouldn't bother you to come here." Yes. But if you want me to say, it’s probably too early to investigate now.”

Team Leader Li snorted coldly, and said: "You don't have to worry about this, Xiao Liu, go and verify your idea, if it is right, we will start deployment now, and when the murderer takes action, we must capture him .”

Xiao Liu nodded and walked over from us. He looked at the patterns on the four bowls, then nodded solemnly, and said, "That's right, the murderers are probably those people. But, It will take a certain amount of time to catch all these people at the same time.”

"Just make sure." Team leader Li had a smile on his face, but when he saw me, his face immediately became gloomy again. He said, "Okay, then let's arrange and deploy it now. By the way, it's four in the morning It's one o'clock, and there is basically nothing for you to do next, you should go back to sleep, and when your leader Shao wakes up, remember to remind him that the murderer is about to be caught."

Xiao Liu looked at the few of us, didn't say anything, and followed Team Leader Li and walked outside.

I said: "Xiao Liu, there is one thing I really want to tell you, no, I should tell you. If the situation I asked you below is correct, it means that your guess must be wrong, so you have to answer seriously .”

Leader Li and Xiao Liu both stopped and turned to look at me. I know Xiao Liu's character. He is the kind of person who is very cautious and will not let go of any clues. He is also the kind of person who wants to know every detail of the case as long as it is about the case. Although Xiao Liu may not believe my words, he is definitely willing to listen.

"The most important piece of the bowl is missing." I said to Xiao Liu: "And the piece on this bowl was taken away by you. All the pieces of these four bowls are there, except for one piece that was missing. , This shows that this piece should not be lost, but should be taken by you for testing."

Xiao Liu didn't speak, but Team Leader Li looked at me with interest and asked, "Is that so? The fragment has indeed been tested. Is there any problem?"

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Then, my first guess is correct. The second guess, the reason why you only sent this fragment for testing is because there are traces left by the murderer on this fragment. The murderer Such a cautious person rarely leaves traces, the first bed sheet, if you don’t observe it carefully, you can’t find it at all. So the traces on the fragments can’t be fingerprints, right?”

"You got one more answer right." Team leader Li put his hands behind his back.

I nodded and continued: "This is the second point that I guessed right, so the third point, on the fragment you took for testing, must be stained with the murderer's blood. I met the murderer At the time, the murderer obviously didn't expect that someone would be able to find out into the sewer, so he panicked and was accidentally scratched by a bowl with a small hole in it."

Team leader Li frowned like a mountain, as if he didn't expect that I guessed this so-called secret one after another that should only be known to his team. "

"How do you know all this?" Leader Li's tone became serious.

I nodded my head with my hand, and said softly: "I know from here! Not only that, I also know what you have detected on the fragments."

"Oh?" Both of them made puzzled voices at the same time.
