At ten o'clock at noon, the sound of clanging axes and chisels came from the forest.
The local police called more forest staff, and under the leadership of Zhang Peipei, they began to carefully dismantle the well.
According to Zhao Yu, as long as the fingerprints can be found, there is no need to dismantle the entire well, just break open a small part of it.
"Hey... Hey, please speak slowly..." However, Zhao Yu was standing behind the woods far away from the well at this time, talking on the phone with Wang Can who was far away in Yaoming, "The signal here is not very good, please slow down." Let’s talk…”
“Okay, okay,” Wang Can said on the phone, “Master, if you don’t come over, I really don’t know what to do!
"I asked Nong Zhifa's inmates today to learn about the situation. They said that Nong Zhifa's mental state has not been very good, he also has memory problems, and he often loses sight of things.
"I'm worried that if he forgets something while writing his memoirs and then writes blindly, that will be troublesome!"
"No way?" Zhao Yu bent down and said, "I read the memoir, and it seems to be quite clear. It shouldn't be written indiscriminately, right?"
"But... all you see is the surface," Wang Can said, "So far, we have only successfully compared 5 of the cases, and the remaining 8 cases are all unmatched!"
"No way? Is it still so far behind?" Zhao Yu was surprised.
"Yes," Wang Can said, "A few items that were previously thought to be successfully compared were excluded again after verifying the details. It's really a headache!
"This case is really difficult to investigate. The 13 cases are almost spread across the entire eastern coastal area, and each one is almost 20 years old. It's really..."
"Okay, okay, I understand, you, don't complain to me, what kind of bad habit is this?" Zhao Yu scolded sternly, "How did I teach you to be tenacious and patient? It’s only been a few days, are you giving up when you encounter a little difficulty
"Boy, don't think that if we are friends, I will put in a good word for you. If you can't handle this case, you will see how I deal with you!"
"Yes, oh no, that's not what I meant, Master," Wang Can mumbled, "I am complaining to you only because I consider you a relative!
"I just want the Criminal Department to intervene, so that I can gain higher authority and get strong support from the police in various places. It's also to solve the case, isn't it?"
"Boy, this case has attracted great attention," Zhao Yu said, "but because murder memoirs are relatively sensitive to the public, the higher-ups are handling it very carefully.
"You must exercise caution! Once it is publicized by the media, you will not be able to live with it!"
"I know, I know," Wang Can must have been sweating, "Because of this, I'm walking on thin ice!"
"Don't worry too much, I'll give you a heads up," Zhao Yu said, "Although Nong Zhifa has been in prison for more than ten years, you can't ignore his relatives.
"Find more people who are familiar with Nong Zhifa and ask them carefully, and then try your best to restore his trajectory and see if you can find any new clues?"
"Oh... you are still awesome!" Wang Can said, "I understand, don't worry, Master, no matter what the final result is, I will definitely try my best!"
"Oh, that's right!" Zhao Yu said with satisfaction, "Correct your attitude and don't complain whenever you encounter difficulties. When I finish the work at hand, I will go to your place and have a look!"
"Okay Master, come early!"
Wang Can complimented him a few more times, and then Zhao Yu hung up the phone.
But as soon as she put down the phone, Miao Ying walked over quickly and said to Zhao Yu:
"Team leader, there's a call from Zhang Jingfeng. The identity of a corpse has been compared," Miao Ying's expression suddenly became a little complicated, "I'm afraid this matter is more troublesome than we thought!"
"Oh? Why?" Zhao Yu was puzzled.
"The identity of the deceased at the top of the water well case was found. His name is Ba Hongxue. He was from Baiqu City, Mengxiang Province!" Miao Ying said seriously, "When he disappeared, he was still there. Lives in Baiqu City and works as a night security guard for a certain company."
"I'm..." Zhao Yu was speechless for a while, feeling like his mind was instantly confused.
"Yes, Baiqu City is in the southwest of Mengxiang, more than 600 kilometers away from Tuoshan!" Miao Ying said, "The murderer brought the victim here from 600 kilometers away and buried him alive underground...
"Is there something wrong with this?"
"Unexpectedly... like this..." Zhao Yu frowned habitually, but after a few seconds he suddenly understood, "However, this just shows the importance of that well!
"Maybe the well itself is the key to solving the case!"
Having said this, the two of them turned their heads in unison and looked towards the well in the distance.
"By the way, haven't I finished yet!" Miao Ying added, "Ba Hongxue's identity was not found through the missing persons database."
"Oh? Really?" Zhao Yu was surprised.
"Ba Hongxue was arrested by the police in 2007 and has a criminal record." Miao Ying replied, "The charges involved were fighting and intentional injury. However, because he lost money, the other party withdrew the case and was not sentenced."
"It's really a bright future," Zhao Yu's eyes lit up when he heard the news, "I have to call Ran Tao right away and ask him to go to Baiqu!"
"Okay," Miao Ying said, "This case is an obvious vendetta. As long as we can understand Ba Hongxue's enemies, the case will make progress."
"By the way," Zhao Yu suddenly remembered something and asked again, "People have been missing for three years, and no one reported the case?"
"Yes," Miao Ying said, "No one reported the crime. The specific reason is unknown. I asked Zeng Ke to contact the local police station."
"Well," Zhao Yu nodded, not forgetting to tell him, "Zeng Ke must be told over there. The secret must be kept tight and no outsiders shall know.
"The murderer and Ba Hongxue may have a close relationship, so we can't alert him."
"Understood!" After saying that, Miao Ying called Ran Tao and Zeng Ke.
Zhao Yu returned to the well with his hands behind his back and watched the evidence collection work of forensic doctor Zhang and others.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhao Yu got close, Zhang Peipei said to him excitedly: "Team Leader Zhao really has life experience. Look..." She picked up a brick with cement and said, "Not only the fingerprints, but also the palm prints are clearly visible. Woolen cloth!
“Although the surface is rough, complete fingerprints can be extracted without any problems!
"Team leader," Zhang Peipei pointed to the fingerprint and said, "Since the fingerprint appears on the cement, it is enough to prove that this fingerprint was left by the builder of the well, not an ordinary person who touched the bricks!"
"Oh..." Zhao Yu was not as excited as Zhang Peipei. He looked at the broken bricks and asked, "Are there any more?"
"Yes," Zhang Peipei said, "I have discovered three or four of them, but only this one is the clearest."
"Okay," Zhao Yu said again, "Whether it's on bricks or cement, we still need to collect as many as possible so that we can compare them in the future!"
"Understood!" Zhang Peipei nodded vigorously and continued working.
Zhao Yu looked at the well and fell into deep thought again.
Although fingerprints were found on the bricks, it does not necessarily mean that the case will be solved quickly.
Because he is not 100% sure that the person who built the well must be the murderer!
However, as long as we can find the person who built the well, can we solve the mystery
