Fortunately, although the second victim in the case of the headless female corpse was indeed from Qinshan, she had nothing to do with Zhao Yu.
This person's name is Sun Xiu'e, a native of Jiuyang County, Qinshan. She was 38 years old when she disappeared, unmarried and without a legitimate occupation. Because of the bad relationship with the family, no one from the family reported the case after the disappearance. As a result, the case was delayed for so many years and the body could not be identified.
However, the investigation by the Bailing Police Department was very detailed. Through the identity search, they actually found a record from the old files of the Qinshan Police. It turns out that as early as the late 1980s, Sun Xiu'e was arrested by the police for child trafficking and spent two years in the county jail.
Human traffickers!
Another trafficker!
After seeing this information, Zhao Yu and the team members immediately thought of this term. As early as when they were investigating Bai Lili, they had already suspected that the motive behind the case of the headless female corpse might be related to human traffickers.
Moreover, not only Zhao Yu and others, the old special investigation team who re-investigated the case as early as 2003 also had the same suspicion. Captain Jin even wrote this in a yellow leather notebook!
Although Bai Lili is not a human trafficker in the strict sense, she kidnapped Cui Lizhu, and at least her behavior was the same as that of a human trafficker.
So... did the murderer of the headless female corpse case commit such a murder because he had a grudge against the human traffickers
In fact, this suspicion was denied by the police as early as the initial investigation!
Because Zhang Xiaoxiao, the fourth victim in the case of the headless female corpse, was a state-owned accountant. This person was very famous in the local area and his family situation was very good. He was completely different from the term human trafficker.
Also, the fifth victim, Xi Yanmei, is a private teacher. Her husband runs a cable factory and is extremely wealthy. She is even less likely to engage in the business of a human trafficker!
Therefore, although Sun Xiu'e was once a human trafficker, it does not prove that the case of the headless female corpse is related to human traffickers.
In addition, Sun Xiu'e is far away in Qinshan, and it is even less likely that she will interact with Du Manting. As a result, although the identity of the deceased was confirmed, there was still no progress in the case.
"Oh my God!" Ran Tao pointed at the map and said, "Sun Xiu'e's body was found in Linfu City, Jin'an Province. Linfu is 800 kilometers away from Qinshan? I dragged a dead man 800 kilometers. , this... this is incredible, right?"
"Yes! No wonder... Sun Xiu'e's body was the most severely decomposed!" Wu Xiumin agreed, "It seems that the murderer first killed the person, then processed the body, and then transported the body!"
"Indeed!" After hearing this, Captain Sun sighed heavily and said to Zhao Yu, "Leader, I have been working on the front line all my life. I don't know, I can tell you what I think about this case. What do you think?"
"Of course, I can't ask for it!" Zhao Yu also didn't expect Captain Sun to be so enthusiastic, and hurriedly cupped his fists and handed over his hands.
Since getting acquainted with the retiring criminal police captain, Zhao Yu has always had a good impression of this person. It seemed to him that the good qualities of a criminal police officer were all reflected in this old man: neither humble nor arrogant, upright, dedicated to his job, full of enthusiasm...
"I discovered a problem. In fact, despite the fact that the case of the headless female corpse is so famous and has such a wide impact!" Captain Sun said seriously, "But, I discovered that the murderer actually did this trick the most - Transporting corpses thousands of miles!”
"oh?"
Captain Sun's speech was indeed very innovative and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
“I suspect that the murderer had only one intention in transporting the body so far, which was to prevent the police from confirming the identity of the body!
"Especially in our time!" Captain Sun started talking, "At that time, our detection methods were backward and information was underdeveloped. We could only rely on handprints, footprints and witnesses for everything. Unlike now, where cameras are everywhere!
"So, the golden period for us to solve crimes is often in the early stages of discovering the case! The earlier the identity of the deceased is confirmed, the greater the help in solving the case! But... the murderer took advantage of this!
"After he killed someone in one place, he actually moved the body thousands of miles away. This undoubtedly increased the difficulty of handling the case! Moreover, he also chopped off the head of the deceased and cut off the fingers of the deceased. This made the police even more worried. It’s hard to confirm the identity of the deceased!
"If the identity cannot be determined, the best opportunity to collect evidence will be delayed, and it will be more difficult to solve the case!" Captain Sun said solemnly, "So, I think this murderer must be familiar with the routines of our police! Beheading, transporting corpses, etc. The chopped off fingers were all subjective actions of the murderer, and their purpose was to delay the police’s identification of the deceased!”
"Yes!" After listening, Zhao Yu nodded heavily, agreeing very much with Captain Sun's point of view.
In fact, Zhao Yu had thought of this a long time ago. This murderer was either someone within the police, or someone who often dealt with the police!
It was precisely because of this that Zhao Yu suspected Tao Xiang. As the king of thieves, he naturally understands the police's tactics
However, various signs indicate that Tao Xiang may not be the real culprit in the female corpse case, so... who is it? Could it be Tao Xiang's mysterious accomplice
Since this person is on the same road as Tao Xiang, does he also understand the police's tactics? Or maybe the two complement each other, and the case of the headless female corpse was simply committed by the two of them together
"Since Captain Sun said this..." Ran Tao pondered and said, "That means one thing can be confirmed! After 1998, the murderer stopped killing people! Is it really because of the popularization of DNA technology? With DNA technology, the murderer stopped killing people. Even if the body is transported abroad, the identity can still be confirmed, so he won't dare to commit another crime?"
"Yes, I think that's how it should be!" Captain Sun nodded, "I hope it can be helpful to the leaders!"
As soon as Captain Sun said this, Zeng Ke suddenly made a gesture to Zhao Yu. Zhao Yu understood at a glance that this must be the information that Zeng Ke had found the girl wearing the dragon-shaped bracelet.
Seeing Captain Sun present, Zeng Ke didn't know what Zhao Yu meant and didn't dare to speak directly.
At this moment, Zhao Yu was rapidly thinking about the next plan in his mind. It stands to reason that when things have progressed to this point, we must go all out! Use the police force of Bailing Police to focus on investigating the origin of the dragon-shaped bracelet.
However, Zhao Yu vaguely realized that there might be something wrong if he acted in a big way. You know, the case has now reached a fever pitch. There are too many people from the Criminal Department, Nanjiang Provincial Department, Bailing Police Station, Wu Fangfang, etc. are paying attention to this matter.
Now I just found a dragon-shaped bracelet. If I were to search for clues with such a big fanfare, it would be good to find it, but if the search turns out to be fruitless, it will inevitably have an impact on my special team.
Moreover, Zhao Yu is also worried that if too many people know about this, will they alert others? What if a certain suspect has been secretly paying attention to this matter
So, it’s always better to be careful! Thinking of this, Zhao Yu immediately turned his attention to Captain Sun. Then, he directly put his arm around Captain Sun's shoulders and whispered a lot to him.
Zhao Yu told him everything about the dragon-shaped bracelet and his worries. Captain Sun was very excited after hearing this. He also thought that this was an important clue and needed to be investigated immediately.
However, Zhao Yu asked him that the matter needed to be carried out secretly and that he could not report to any leader for the time being.
Captain Sun is also a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time. He naturally understood Zhao Yu's worries, and immediately assured Zhao Yu that the people he sent out were definitely trustworthy, and he would definitely handle this matter well!
In an instant, Zhao Yu was even more in awe of this old detective. He was retiring in a few days and could not commit such a life-threatening crime. But he still agreed readily and without hesitation, which shows that this man is loyal and sincere!
After Zeng Ke located the girl's mobile phone, Captain Sun immediately organized his troops and prepared to set off.
In order to obtain first-hand information, Zhao Yu also took Ran Tao, Wu Xiumin and Cui Lizhu with him, leaving Zeng Ke behind to hold the battle at the headquarters.
It was now 5:30 in the morning, and the sky was still pitch black. Sitting on the departing police car, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of regret. He wondered if he could gain anything new this time.
