The next morning, Zhao Yu came to Hongqi Town opposite the No. 3 Oil Production Plant.
"The tricycle has been transported to the police station for inspection," Wu Xiumin introduced to Zhao Yu when everyone arrived at the boiler room in Hongqi Town, "The boiler master should be there! His surname is Liu..."
Zhao Yu carefully observed the terrain and found that although the boiler room compound had a wall, it was riddled with holes and air leaked everywhere, just like there was no wall at all.
"What a crime, what a crime!" At this moment, a stooped old man was expressing his emotions to the police at the door of the boiler room, "Who is so wicked that he uses my three-wheeled car to kill people? He is so young. He really dares to ride a broken three-wheeler..."
Zhao Yu observed the old man's condition and found that it was as stated in the information. He was hunched over, short in stature, and had difficulty moving. He should not be the murderer.
Moreover, after the incident, the police had thoroughly searched the boiler room and found suspicious circumstances.
"Does such a big factory still need to burn boilers for heating?" Zhao Yu asked Wu Xiumin.
"No," Wu Xiumin said, "The factory area is all heated by itself, only Hongqi Town needs boilers for heating.
“Their factory director said that Hongqi Town was built by the earliest oil extraction workers. Later, dormitories were built in the factory area and the workers moved into the new buildings, so Hongqi Town was abandoned!
“Now because of the serious reduction in the number of workers in the factory, many oil extraction workers have been recruited from other places. Since these workers cannot be arranged, Hongqi Town has been renovated and temporarily allowed to live in it.
"The new staff dormitory building is under preparation and will be completed this summer. Therefore, there is no need for the factory to invest more money from Hongqi Town. This has resulted in a terrible situation with no guards, no walls, and no monitoring...
“It even takes a long way to walk, so the workers have to cross the lake to save time.
"And this boiler room is an old boiler that is just about to be replaced. It can barely keep the employees warm..."
"He is so old and has been sick," Zhao Yu looked at Master Liu and asked Wu Xiumin in a low voice, "Can one person be so busy?"
"There was a boilermaker who helped," Wu Xiumin said, "a young man from a nearby village. He came over every other day to help Master Liu with some heavy labor and also took care of transporting coal. But this man was very Avoid spending the night in the boiler room…”
"Oh?" Zhao Yu's eyes lit up, but immediately dimmed.
Because he knew that Wu Xiumin was not that stupid. She could not have imagined that there was something wrong with this young man.
Sure enough, Wu Xiumin shook her head and said: "During the time of the crime, this young man's wife just gave birth to a baby. There are dozens of people who can testify..."
"Holy crap, is it such a coincidence?" Zhao Yu frowned deeply, feeling that it was a bit of a coincidence.
"I have already checked," Wu Xiumin said, "This young man has nothing to do with Chi Meixin. His call records and WeChat are very simple..."
"Okay!" Zhao Yu nodded, then stepped into the boiler room and surveyed the situation in the boiler room.
Then, they walked along the side of the boiler room towards Chi Meixin's dormitory.
"Officer Zhao," Captain Qiu said to Zhao Yu, "in the past few days, we have investigated carefully and still feel that the reason why Chi Meixin left the dormitory that day was to go to the bathhouse to take a bath!
"Look..." He went to a bungalow not far from the boiler room, "That's the bathhouse there. Go in and take a look... um..."
After finishing speaking, Captain Qiu realized that there was something wrong with his words and hurriedly added: "It doesn't matter, the bathhouse is not open at this time! It is only open at night..."
"Oh!" Zhao Yu said seriously, "Then come over and take a look at it in the evening!"
"..." Captain Qiu was speechless.
"Hehehe..." Zhao Yu patted Captain Qiu on the shoulder, "Just kidding, just kidding!"
"Oh..." Captain Qiu wiped his sweat and continued to introduce, "First, Chi Meixin loves to be clean. She works on the front line and her body inevitably smells of petroleum, so she usually bathes very frequently;
"Second, we have searched for Chi Meixin's personal belongings. All other things are there, but toiletries and a set of clean clothes are missing..."
"Oh..." Zhao Yu said thoughtfully, "In other words, the murderer knew her habits, so he was prepared in advance!"
"We asked the female employees who took a shower that night, and no one had seen Chi Meixin, so..." Captain Qiu said, "Chi Meixin should have been attacked as soon as she came out!"
"If she didn't take a shower that day..." Zhao Yu said, "then... the murderer wouldn't have taken action? Would... have waited another day? Until Chi Meixin showed up?"
"This way," Wu Xiumin shrugged, "at least it explains why Chi Meixin left the dormitory building."
"That's the dormitory building there," Captain Qiu pointed to the two-story building in the distance, then turned around and pointed to the other side and said, "It's less than 100 meters from the dormitory building to the bathhouse, just turn a corner!
"So..." Captain Qiu pointed to the opposite side of the boiler room and said, "If I were the murderer, I would choose to start from there!"
Zhao Yu followed Captain Qiu's finger and saw an area of abandoned bungalows opposite the boiler room. Some of the houses had collapsed...
"There is no one there..." Captain Qiu continued, "The murderer can directly drag Chi Meixin into the darkness, and then drag him to an abandoned bungalow. As long as Chi Meixin cannot shout loudly, then he can successfully Get rid of Chi Meixin..."
"The autopsy report said..." Zhao Yu recalled, "The forensic doctor did not find any traces of anesthesia on Chi Meixin's body... So... could the murderer..."
"Yes, we think so too!" Captain Qiu strode to the boiler room and pointed to several alleys there. "The first scene of the crime should be in a certain alley. We have sent Technicians have searched!
"It's a pity that because of the ice, there were no footprints left on the ground, and no obvious signs of struggle were found..."
Tsk tsk…
Zhao Yu looked towards those alleys. Even though it was daytime, those alleys looked a bit eerie, because inside each alley, there were broken walls and a dilapidated scene!
So fierce
Zhao Yu thought about it in his mind. If this was really the scene of the first crime and the deceased was not unconscious, could it be...
As soon as the murderer caught Chi Meixin, he brutally killed her
Chi Meixin was strangled to death in the same way as other female corpses under the bridge. The difference was that the location and intensity of the strangulation marks were slightly different.
Although the murderer's height is not much different from Han Sai's, his palms are much smaller than Han Sai's, and his fingers are also shorter...
The key is…
Did he really strangle him to death as soon as he came up
What kind of hatred is this
still…
Wu Xiumin originally guessed correctly, the murderer killed the wrong person
Chi Meixin, is just a poor scapegoat
So…
Who does the murderer really want to kill
