At 1:30 noon, in a private room of a hot pot restaurant in Gaolan Banner.
"You have injuries on your body. It's best not to eat too much mutton!" Miao Ying warned Zhao Yu while holding a stack of information from the Forensic Department.
"I'm just kidding, if you don't eat boiled mutton in Gaolan Qi, your visit will be in vain!" Zhao Yu helped Miao Ying put the dishes and said with a smile, "It's just a minor injury. I think I didn't eat less when I had the operation in Yaoming. Here’s the mutton shabu-shabu!”
"Okay, do whatever you want!" Miao Ying said without raising her head, "Zhao Yu... Regarding that mound... Forensic Doctor Gao invited his best footprint analyst, but... the situation is a bit complicated!"
"Oh?" When Miao Ying got to the point, Zhao Yu hurriedly listened carefully.
“It’s the Chinese New Year, and that mound is usually a playground for nearby children. They often go there to ride bikes and play, and set off firecrackers, so the traces are very confusing. I wish I could have noticed it a day earlier! "
"Oh..." Zhao Yu also felt a little regretful. If he hadn't been so disorganized by the fire that day, he might have noticed this situation at that time. With only night vision goggles and binoculars, the arsonist might be able to be captured alive.
"But... they still found some fresh footprints," Miao Ying added, "They have taken them back to the forensic department for analysis and comparison! However, we can't raise too much hope!"
"What about...the surveillance cameras nearby?" Zhao Yu asked again.
"It's even less ideal..." Miao Ying shook her head helplessly, "Except for the central block of the town, other places either have no surveillance, or are in disrepair and have been damaged for many years! Especially the roads near the cattle farm, there are so many blind spots. Also, the outside of the cattle farm is connected in all directions and is covered with country roads that can lead to any nearby village, making it impossible to trace.
"The reason why notorious criminals like Zhao Yu and Yu Fusheng chose this place as their base is because they have strategic intentions!" Miao Ying pointed to the information and sighed, "The geographical location here is both remote and developed. Go to Gaolan Banner and even the Central Plains, and you can reach any area in Mengxiang in the distance!"
"So..." Zhao Yu shook his head in disappointment, "There is no hope of finding this arsonist...?"
"It's not too optimistic anyway!" Miao Ying nodded. "As you can tell, if they want to transport something, a big truck pulling cattle can handle it all! Tulkai has a complete set of legal procedures, and it is connected to the highway. It’s all free!”
"Tsk tsk..." Zhao Yu understands this very well.
"Now there is the most unfavorable thing. The fire is burning too hard!" Miao Ying added, "Apart from Yu Fusheng, Yu Shunfeng and Tulkai who you saw with your own eyes, we don't know who was at the crime scene. Are there any other deceased persons? For example, we found He Yubing, Liu Guangxing, Yao Wenming, Yang Zebiao, etc... "
"If I could see clearly..." Zhao Yu picked up a piece of cooked mutton and placed it in Miao Ying's bowl, "It would have turned into ashes by now!"
"Yes!" Miao Ying sighed, "These people are all extremely vicious criminals. Instead of running away, it would be better to be burned to death together! However, except for one person...
"Zhao Yu..." As he spoke, Miao Ying raised his eyebrows and asked, "You said... that Yang Zebiao, could he be the arsonist? What kind of conflict did he have with Yu Fusheng, and then he killed him to kill him?"
"Well, I thought about this last night," Zhao Yu shook his head, "But the fire was so delicate... I don't think it looks like it! The record says that Yang Zebiao is an honest man..."
"Thirteen years have passed, who knows what Yang Zebiao will become? Han Kuan is also an honest man, and he can turn into a devil!" Miao Ying also gave Zhao Yu a piece of mutton, "I just exchanged information with the Gaolan Banner police Opinion, our remaining investigation direction, apart from hoping that the forensic doctor can find something, we can only follow the normal procedures and conduct a large-scale manhunt!"
"Tsk tsk..." Zhao Yu frowned, "Meow meow, look, the reason why the arsonist wanted to burn everything down was because he wanted to cause an ordinary fire? Without my personal experience, no one would know , the people burned to death here are all those high-ranking people, right? If the investigation is upgraded... "
"This is the truth!" Miao Ying shook his head, "But you have also seen the current situation. The Criminal Department has dispatched a new special investigation team, a high-level forensic team, and provincial and departmental experts are here! How can there be ordinary people here? What does the fire look like? If the arsonist had paid a little attention, he should have known that his plan had been exposed, right?"
"Yes!" Zhao Yu nodded, "Actually... this is fine. If the arsonist found out that the fire he carefully prepared did not cover up the truth about Yu Fusheng and others, he would be quite depressed, right?"
"Moreover, if a large group of people set the fire, it would easily lead to internal conflicts!" Miao Ying said confidently, "So, the fire set by our police must be bigger than theirs, so that they can be forced to reveal their Bullshit! But... these matters... are no longer the responsibility of our group... Our mission is still on the Wu Fangfang case! All the fire matters have been handed over to Group 063!"
"Actually... this is fine," Zhao Yu said seriously, "Let them put external pressure on the arsonists, while we can concentrate on investigating it all over again! I don't know what you think, but I always feel, The truth seems to have been around us all along! We just need to find it out!"
"It's easy to say, but..." Miao Ying said worriedly, "After all, the fire burned so much evidence. There seem to be many clues, but we have tried all the starting points, and there is no way at all! Hmm..."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Miao Ying said this, her cell phone suddenly rang.
"It's a senior forensic doctor..."
Miao Ying informed Zhao Yu and pressed the answer button. As a result, Miao Ying's expression changed before she heard a few words...
"What's wrong?" Zhao Yu hurriedly asked after hanging up the phone, "Has something big happened again?"
"No!" Miao Ying said helplessly, "Forensic doctor Gao just told me that last night, they found a charred skull from the ashes at the fire scene, and there was a bullet embedded in the skull!"
"Last night... bullets..." Zhao Yu thought for a moment, and hope suddenly appeared in his eyes, "Then..."
"That's right, effective DNA has been extracted and confirmed by comparison..." Miao Ying paused for a moment before revealing the answer, "That charred skull belongs to Cao Si's grave!"
"Ah!?" Zhao Yu was startled and his eyes widened, "Cao Si's grave!?"
"Because the skull was adhered to a metal plate, it was not burned to ashes!" Miao Ying said, "The bullet in the skull shows that Cao Sifeng was not burned to death!"
"No wonder the police haven't caught him after searching for so long!" Zhao Yu exclaimed, "Unexpectedly, he also died in the robber's house. Cao Sifen, Yu Fusheng, Yu Shunfeng and Dumb, this... there are four of them. ?”
"Not only..." Miao Ying said, "Forensic Doctor Gao told me that they have also extracted some incomplete DNA tissues and are using a new technology for laboratory extraction. Not only will it take some time, but it may also fail!
"Also, they also found the remains of two pistols, but they were too badly burned to make ballistic comparisons!"
Zhao Yu remembered that Yu Shunfeng had one on his body and one in the flowerpot. It seemed that the pistol was made of metal after all and had not been completely burned.
etc…
Pistols... bullets... heads...
Cao Sifen was shot in the head! ? I think back then, the victims in the Nonghe Massacre were all shot in the head! This... so to speak... the person who killed Cao Sifeng was the murderer of the Nonghe massacre!
