"From the factory area to the dormitory in Hongqi Town, you will pass by an icy lake!" A female factory worker said to Zhao Yu and others with red eyes, "If you walk around the icy lake, the journey will be a little longer, and we don't have bicycles or anything. So in winter, people like to walk directly through the ice, which can save a lot of time.
"Probably..." the female worker recalled, "it was more than a month ago, right? Xiao Chi said that every time she walked on the ice after get off work in the afternoon, she would often see a woman in red waving to her in the woods to the north. !”
When he said this, the other two female workers at the scene all shuddered inexplicably.
“It gets dark early in the winter,” the former female worker continued. “When I get off work at 6 p.m., and after dinner, it’s already dark. You can’t even see the woods on the ice, let alone the red ones. A woman!
“At first, none of us took it seriously and thought Xiaochi was deliberately trying to scare us!
"However, after some days, Xiao Chi's condition became worse and worse. She became nervous and anxious. She insisted that she saw the woman in red again!
"Another time, it scared a few of us!" The female worker hesitated and said nervously, "Because we were worried about Xiaochi, we had been accompanying her after get off work and back to the dormitory those days.
"As a result, one time while walking on the ice, Xiaochi pointed to the woods to the north and said he saw the woman in red!
"However, a few of us turned around and looked for a long time, but we didn't see anything at all...
"From that day on, Xiao Chi's condition became even worse. He also had a fever and took a few days off. We were still discussing whether we should invite a master to check on Xiao Chi...
"I didn't expect... oh..." the female worker cried, "something... something so serious happened... wuwuwu..."
When she cried, other female workers also started crying.
Zhao Yu, Wu Xiumin and Simona looked at each other in shock. No one expected that a ghost story would emerge from the already strange murder case!
Of course, judging from Zhao Yu's experience, this ghost story may be just an episode and has nothing to do with Chi Meixin's murder or the entire under-bridge murder case.
Therefore, Zhao Yu adjusted his thoughts and mentality and began to focus on the case in front of him.
He put Wu Xiumin in charge of the case at hand, investigating information related to the deceased, and surveying the surrounding environment to look for suspicious traces.
Later, he found Captain Qiu and asked Captain Qiu to find the video of the investigation site of the second murder under the bridge. He suspected that the murderer might be among the onlookers.
After the explanation, Zhao Yu put on his gloves again and went under the bridge.
At this moment, under the command of forensic doctor Guo Fengzhan, the body had been removed from under the bridge and put into a body bag.
Next, the inspectors began to conduct detailed collection work on the site.
The snow stopped and there was no wind. The temperature was slightly higher than before, but it was still around minus 10 degrees. The staff were obviously not prepared for the cold, and they were all shivering from the cold.
"Officer Zhao," Guo Fengzhan saw Zhao Yu arriving and immediately pointed to the body bag and said, "Judging from the degree of freezing of the body, the deceased has not been dead for a long time!
"I'm..." He opened the bag and pointed a place to Zhao Yu, "I found some scratches on the body and the remains of some herbs.
"I suspect... the murderer may have dragged the deceased for a distance in the grass, so... I suggest you search the grass carefully!"
"Oh, I understand..." Zhao Yu turned to look at the yellow weeds on both sides of the river, stretched out his hand and said to Guo Fengzhan, "Forensic Doctor Guo, I was in a hurry when we met before, and I haven't said hello to you yet!"
"Oh..." Forensic Doctor Guo quickly shook hands with Zhao Yu and said, "The situation is special and we can't take off our gloves! I have heard about Detective Zhao Yu for a long time, and I finally met him today!"
"It's freezing cold, thank you for your hard work!" Zhao Yu quickly said a few kind words.
"Hey, don't say that, these are our jobs! Well..." Guo Fengzhan hesitated and said to Zhao Yu, "Officer Zhao, there is something that I wonder if you have noticed!
"I read the autopsy reports of several previous cases on the plane, and I found that something was wrong with this situation!"
"Yes, you can see it too!" Zhao Yu said, "The scene was in a mess, and the murderer looked like a rookie! But the first three cases were done cleanly!"
"That's right," Medical Examiner Guo said, "I also think that someone may be imitating the real murderer in this case!
"I just saw that there were various degrees of strangulation marks on the deceased's chin, collarbone, and even face. I suspect..." Forensic Doctor Guo gestured to the body in the bag and said, "The murderer hung it several times before he succeeded. He may have overlooked the need to secure the rope before putting the deceased's neck into the noose... "
"Yes," Zhao Yu said, "There were traces of friction on the previous rings. It is suspected that the murderer used a more labor-saving pulley, but the murderer in front of him didn't know what a pulley was at all!
"He just thought that as long as he got a noose and installed a rope ring, he could hang a dead man up!"
"I saw some acupressure bruises on the neck of the deceased. It seems that the deceased was strangled to death by the murderer before being hanged, but..." Guo Fengzhan stretched out his hand and gestured from the body, "I and the previous After comparing the corpses, there were obvious differences in position and strength!
"So, based on the information we have now, we can basically determine that this case is not the work of the same murderer as the previous cases!"
"Hmm..." Zhao Yu nodded, lost in thought.
He was thinking, if this case was really just a copycat crime, should he tell Miao Ying in advance
Perhaps the full name of martial law can be implemented later.
In addition, he is still thinking, if the murderer of this case is not the same as the murderer of the previous three cases of female corpse under the bridge, then which side should he focus on
There are many loopholes in the case before us. A female oil extraction factory worker from out of town died tragically under a small bridge outside the factory. There must be some major reason, which will definitely facilitate investigation!
Therefore, if we focus on this case, we might be able to find the murderer soon!
"Officer Zhao," Guo Fengzhan looked around and said to Zhao Yu, "I just heard that the deceased was a female worker in the oil production factory. If... this case is really a copycat crime, is it true that the murderer is also related to the factory? ?”
"I understand what you mean!" Zhao Yu nodded and said, "I will send someone to talk to the factory right now. Later, we will have to go to the deceased's dormitory to inspect the scene. Then we will have to trouble your team... "
"You must not see me outside. Before I came, Teacher Gao Facai had called me and gave me special instructions.
"I am a forensic doctor, and I have no obligation to refuse to investigate the case. If you have any orders, just give them!"
"Oh... oh..." Zhao Yu nodded with satisfaction.
It seemed that Gao Facai must have told him about his bad temper when he warned him, so forensic doctor Guo was respectful and very polite when he spoke.
The two talked for a while, and then Zhao Yu walked out of the ditch for the second time.
At the same time, forensic personnel have also transported the bag containing the body to the river bank and loaded it into a police car, preparing to transport it back to the Manzhou Police Station for autopsy.
Seeing Zhao Yu coming up, Captain Qiu quickly stepped forward and said: "Officer Zhao, the video of the last handling scene at Baishuiqiao has been found. If you want to see it now, I will ask the technical department to share it with your mobile phone. You can do it now." It’s time to watch…”
"There's no rush," Zhao Yu said, "Before that, we have to go to the deceased's dormitory and consult with people in their factory..."
Beep beep... beep beep...
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the ringtone of the mobile phone rang.
Zhao Yu turned on his phone and saw that it was not his own phone that was ringing.
"Oh... my, my..." Captain Qiu quickly grabbed his cell phone and pressed the answer button.
Unexpectedly, after answering the phone, Captain Qiu suddenly staggered and almost collapsed on the ground...
